Kuisha stood and waited for me, and Sona did the same.
Sairaorg however said to me.
"Ray, my butler is taking me home, so no need to offer. Just take Sona and Kuisha back first.
See you in a couple of days, i have a lot of reading to do, bye. "
Seeing his sad back, it is hard to believe this small and normal looking Devil will grow to be a massive hulking death machine in under ten years. I smiled at the two Devil girls and said.
"Let's go, I will drop you off first Sona. "
And that was how my first day of Preparatory Academy went.
Devils who don't go to the Human world for contract work will attend General Education in Underworld Schools, mainly for poor or Hybrid Devils with Mixed Heritage, or young Reincarnated Devils. Devils like Sona and I will rule in the Human world and do contracts for noble advancement.
As I was drawing my Transportation Magic Circle to the Sitri Domain, Sona said to me.
"Ray, I think after today, seeing Roygun, how Sairaorg is treated, and how some devils seem to be in hard times. .
. I know what I want to do in the future.
"
I smirk because I think this is the moment Sona must have made her dream, so I blurt it out.
"Let me guess, you want to open your own school for Low Class Devils who cannot get an education, right?"
Sona's face went stiff, and she sputtered.
"H-How did you know?! You cannot be using mind reading magic, right? No, you are casting a spell right now, so how?!"
Kuisha, who was also puzzled, waited for me to tell. I smirked at her and said.
"If I cannot notice when my best friend is troubled, then what kind of friend am I? I could tell you examined everything with your iconic frown, like you have decided. Just know it will be a hard path forward.
Plus you will need to learn to run a school. "
Young Sona's violet eyes looked complicated and nodded.
"Even if I do not succeed, just trying is the first step. My sister said if we Devils do not make long term goals, our hearts will break and die becoming machines that eat, drink, and sleep with no goal in life.
So Ray, what goal do you have?"
I point to the crimson circle on the floor, and childishly say.
"My first goal is to get the Princess of the Sitri House home safe and sound, then bring Kuisha home safely, then who knows? I think I am too young to do anything but want to be happy with my family and friends. .
. Sona, ask me again in 10 years, and I will have an answer for you, got it? Now let's go home.
"
Then crimson light covered us as we vanished from Lilith Academy. .

( A/N Based on the fact the full moon affects the Familiar Forest, it is assumed that it is an isolated-space on earth rather than the Underworld. Vali and his team explore such regions all the time in the LN.
Also many Youkai and Dragons are found there, other hints that it is not the Underworld also apply. Tiamat will not be showing here.
But for those not familiar with Familiars, do not worry at all about this little rant. )

A few days later in the Lilith Academy when the Familiar Forest is subject to its full moon. .
.
The teacher Mr Helix is doing his head count, and then he finishes preparing the large Transportation array for the entire class. He then gave his speech.
"Alright class, we have 5 Familiar Masters waiting to take your groups into the forest, so stay with your 5 person groups and for the sake of your lives, do not get lost or run off. Now I will send you in 5 person groups, so I call for Ray's group to go first, please get on.
. .
"
So I, Kuisha, Sona, Sairaorg, and Ravel all gathered, sigh. .
. Yup somehow Ravel managed to get into my group, but whatever.
As our group was about to leave, Ravel said with pride.
"Humph, Follow me, my brother took me here before when he got his familiar, hoho!"
Ugh! Will I get in trouble if I push her from the circle?!
Then the light covered us and we vanished. .
.
As the magic light faded from our eyes, my group of 5 Devils were in a dark forest under the full-moon.
"Hello young Devils, I am Zatouji, one of your guides to this lovely preserve for Familiars of all shapes and sizes, big or small, beautiful or fierce, kind or aggressive, fun or useful, we have them all!"
Zatouji is a middle-aged looking Reincarnated Devil-in-training from Madara Town, who specializes in familiars. He strives to become a Familiar Master.
Yes, this guy is a self proclaimed Ash Ketchum Pokemon anime lover! He strives to be like his anime idol in his every action. He is even trying to develop Poke-balls using Summoning and Time Magic.
Clap Clap Clap! I want to slap my Cousin Sairaorg for applauding this idiots' introductions. Well, at least he is not trying to rhyme like in the anime, then I would use my Power of Destruction on him for that! I-I think even Ravel is less annoying than the anime version of Zatouji.
Sona smiles and greets.
"Hello again Zatouji. It has been a couple years, have you reached your goal yet?"
Zatouji bows slightly and says to her,
"Hello young Princess Sitri, I have not achieved the level of Mastery I strive for. Just when I think I have seen every familiar known, I find more.
So my Quest to be Number 1 is still off, now children, let us move and get you all your life-long companions. Oh, and Prince Gremory, it is an honor to meet the younger brother of the Great Devil King Lucifer.
Please follow me, ha-ha!"
If one does not know, why do Sona and I get referred to as Prince and Princess? It is an easy title to say that we are the...…..
