Chapter 17: Chapter 17 “A New Era at Lilith Academy”
The old Capital was known as Lucifaad. In the past, the children of the first Devil Kings and their blood relatives lived there and at the Amphitheater, there was a 'meeting between young Devils' which was attended by all of the 72 Pillars, but usually served as a way of the Devil King descendants to show off their authority among the lower classes of Devils.
It is also the place where Sirzechs Gremory defeated and killed Bidleid, thus ending the civil war in the final battle between the Devil Kings and the Rebel army.
This old Capital City is where the Youth Devil Meeting is held, the one in the anime. A Japan comparison would be how Kyoto was Japan's old Capital, but now it is Tokyo.
Anyway, back to the main point. .
. The school that I will attend is in the New Capital Lilith, and it does not function exactly like Human world schools.
We only attend three days a week till the age of 12 to 16, and the youngest age you can be to attend the school is 6. Most Noble High Class Devils get their Evil Pieces and become Kings between the ages of 12 to 18 based on their education, strength and upbringing.
So why is this knowledge important? Because I will be going to school with all of the youth Devils from the anime, and a few others not seen. Even Ravel Phenex is attending at the age of 6 years old.
Riser Phenex had recently graduated and has started to collect his Peerage.
From what I gathered, he has not yet recruited Yubelluna as his Bomb Queen yet. It seems she is currently his Contract Human Magician.
I had been tempted to try poaching her for my own Peerage, but I decided against it after meeting her one time. My Gremory vibes did not tell me she was a talent I could use.
(Because she would lack the fire, wind, and light needed for her bomb magic, and she would have only been a great bed-warmer. Servants get attributes based off of their King.
Ray will grant Magic Superiority to his servants. )
So, another point of the Noble Devil Academy, there is no grade levels like in Human schools, but more of generational blocks. Like Sona, Ravel, and Diodora are all in the same youth generation.
Riser is just outside of our youth block, and when I am in high school, he will already be doing Rating Games and be a full fledged independent Devil. His personality along with his sisters has begun to become the cocky sort most Pure Blood Devils get.
The way they treat their servants is better than most, but I still do not like it.
Once, my mother asked me if I liked Ravel Phenex, and I shook my head knowing it was probably to take her as a concubine. I cannot guarantee she will be the same girl from the anime, and the girl she is right now grates on my nerves.
If I was only interested in a Harem, then I might have taken her, but I only care about my future Peerage, and Ravel is not going to be a part of that.
I know if anyone else with memories from my past life knew I rejected Ravel, they would flame me openly, sigh. There is more to life than fucking.
Besides, I already know Kuisha will grow to be a beauty, so just having her as my wife, like my brother with Grayfia, is enough for me.
Even though I know Shirone Tojo will be placed with me later, I think I will not consider her my woman. In fact, any woman in my Peerage can love whoever they want, as long as it does not interfere with my Rating Games or the Gremory Clan.
(Calm your tits, this is his thought process at the age of almost 9. This is D×D, do you think women are going to let him off with his Gremory Charm, nope.
)
Well, it is the first day of the Academy, and I need to travel to the northern Territory of Abaddon to pick up Kuisha for school. Thanks to my use of Teleportation Magic, I can shuttle around to places I have been in the Underworld.
And with my massive pool of Demonic Power, a few Teleportation Circles are no issue for me, why?
Because like many anime and novels, I know that my Demonic Power will not increase unless I empty it out on a regular basis, like using a muscle. So over the years, I have made great progress, and I have shared this secret anime method with Sona and Kuisha, so they could also grow their already great Demonic Pool.
And I have confirmed it works. Sona swears on her family name, to not spread this to anyone I do not approve of, including those in her future Peerage without my consent.

"Dear, stop squirming, let me fix your hair. Now, go pick up Kuisha, and bring her here.
Then after I inspect her, I will take you two to school. "
Out in the backyard, I am setting up my Gremory Magic Circle on the ground to teleport to Kuisha's home, and Venelana, like a helicopter mom, is trying to get my attire and hair looking its best. I sigh like an almost teenager and complain.
"Sigh, Mother, if you do not stop, I will mess up this second Circle, I need focus. "
She gently pinched my cheek and told me her feelings.
"Ray dear, you are growing up too fast, so I need to enjoy this bit of time I have with you. I will probably never have another child, let alone a monster like you and your brother again.
So dear, just let your mother love you a bit longer. Soon you will be 12 and leave mother to fulfill your Gremory obligations, and mother will be lonely again, sniff, until I sea a grand baby that is.
"
I successfully finished the circle and told my mother.
"Mother, it is fine, sister Grayfia just got pregnant, so you will get your grandchild, and I bet it will be a boy. So no worries.
