Meanwhile, the people in the hall were also shocked upon learning that Rey's Demonic Power level was at Ultimate-class Level 67.

"Level 67!?"

"That's so high!"

"Yes. For a child his age that is indeed very high."

"Yes. Moreover, he is a half-breed not pure-blood."

"And that's just his Demonic Power Level. We don't know how about his other abilities Levels are."

"We'll find out soon enough from his performance in battle."

"Indeed."

After my Demonic Power level measurement finished, Roygun-san said to me,

"Now, it's time to put your fighting skills to the test."

I then nodded slightly.

"Okay.... Who is my opponent? Is it you?"

Somehow, I felt confident and quite excited and couldn't wait for my battle skills to be tested. Could this be a sign of fighting addiction because almost every day for the past two years I've often fought against a Battle Goddess? .... Uhh. I hope not.

"Fufufu. It seems you are quite excited.... I am also curious about your fighting skills. But it's a shame that I won't be the one who would face you.... It can't be helped. After all, I am someone of high status. It would be a shame if I were to considered to be "bullying" a child and it would be even more shameful if it turns out that I somehow got beaten by a child. So I was only asked to be the referee for your skills test. Hah~...."

Roygun-san sighed with a regretful expression.

So I'm more curious.

"Then who is my opponent?"

I wonder who's my opponent. I'm sure my opponent isn't someone who's weak or just average. Because if my opponent was too easy, it's likely that the people who didn't quite agree with the decision to grant me the status of a Noble would definitely perceive it as some kind of match-fixing and wouldn't acknowledge the outcome if I passed. And since my abilities are at the Ultimate-class level, it's likely that my opponent will also be someone at the Ultimate-class level or at least slightly below it.

Hearing my question, Roygun-san chuckled.

"Fufufu...."

Then, she stretched out one hand and said,

"Come...."

Then, on the ground appeared glowing lines that formed a magic circle.

What's this? Summoning Magic? Teleport?

Who's the one who would be summoned?

I'm curious.

*shing

And before long, the magic circle faded and a figure appeared.

The figure then said to me with a stern expression.

"Good afternoon.... Nice to meet you, Young Master Rofocale. I have heard of you from Roygun before."

Seeing the figure that came, I was a little wide-eyed.

Meanwhile Roygun-san chuckled and asked with an expression as if she was satisfied with her prank.

"Fufufu.... What do you think of her, Rofocale-kun? She's worthy enough to be your opponent, right?"

I can only shake my head and sigh inwardly at that question.

Hah~.... Quite troublesome.

I didn't expect the opponent for this test of mine to be her.

Then, I greeted her back and introduced myself.

"Good afternoon and nice to meet you too, Lady. I'm Rey Rofocale. Best regards."

The figure who came was a slender woman, neck-length blonde hair, purple eyes, and glasses. And she also carries a fairly large sword. Her name is.... Eleanora Dragulia.

She's one of the [Knight] of Roygun Belphegor's peerage and one of the best [Knight] in the whole Devil community right now. She has excellent sword skills but also skilled at using some kind of magic. Self-Enhancement Magic was her forte. And relying on that magic skill, she became a [Knight] who was known to be skilled in protracted and defensive combat. She's also famously called as "Grinding Sword" in the Rating Game because she rely on defensive-strategy to grind her opponent little by little until they fell or game's over.

And about her origins, it's said that even though she was a dhampir (vampire-hybrid) before being reincarnated as a Devil, she was a descendant from the first and most famous Vampire, True Ancestor Dracula. The name Dragulia she bears is the name of the main Vampire clan and the true bloodline of Dracula.... But they were long extinct and Lady Eleanora was the last person to have Dragulia's blood. That's why not many know about them.... I wonder how Roygun-san was able to meet her and able to persuade her to reincarnate into a Devil.

"Alright. Now get ready!"

Hearing Roygun-san's words, Lady Dragulia then headed to the center of the Arena and drew her sword.

As for me, I instead raised one of my hand and said,

"Uhh, please wait.... I need my weapon."

"Weapon? You use weapon too?"

It's not strange Roygun-san asking like that. That's because among devils, especially pure-blood devils, most of them don't use weapons as they are more of a magician-like type who mainly use magic and their magical abilities.... And I heard, another reason is because they are too lazy to train and master weapons because it's too troublesome.... Yeah, right.

"Yes."

I gave a small nod.

"Hah~.... Then why didn't you bring one from the start? I thought you didn't look like you were carrying a weapon because you didn't need one."

Roygun-san and Miss Dragulia looked at me with confused and complained looks.

And I scratched my head a little at that question. Then I answered her somewhat awkwardly.

"Uhh.... About that.... This weapon of mine is a bit different from most. I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding if I brought her here from the start. So.... May I summon her?"

"'Her'?"

"'Her'?"

Roygun-san and Miss Dragulia narrowed their eyes after noticing that there was one odd word in my sentence.

"Hmm~. I'm getting curious now.... Alright. Go ahead."

After Roygun-san gave me permission, I slightly raised my head as if there was a camera above and then nodded my head.

Those in the hall witnessed what happened in the Arena, so Mephisto-jiisama and the others must have understood the nodding of my head meant for someone to escort Kulshedra-san to the Arena.

*shing

And not long after, suddenly appeared a magic circle on the ground not far in front of me.

Then from the magic circle, a black silhouette slowly emerged which slowly turned into a clear figure, Kulshedra-san.

"Kukuku.... I'm here, My Master."

Kulshedra-san chuckled and I gave her a small nod.

I also saw Roygun-san and Lady Dragulia looking even more curious. But I didn't explain anything because they would soon understand themselves.

Then, I said firmly to Kulshedra-san.

"Let's start.... Spear-mode."

I then stretched out one hand and Kulshedra-san did too and held my hand.

Then, I chanted,

"I, Rey Rofocale, require you, Kulshedra The Disaster Dragon Queen, to fulfill your contract as my sword and shield to the path of glory!"

Kulshedra-san also responds.

"Yes, My Master."

After the chant finished, on the back of my right hand appeared the crest of my contract with Kulshedra-san and the black crest then glowed.

*shing

And then, Kulshedra-san who was in front of me was enveloped in a black light which then seemed to shrink and morphed into a silhouette of a spear.

And before long, in my hand held a black spear which is one of the weapon forms of Kulshedra-san.

"I am ready."

I said firmly.

Meanwhile, Roygun-san and Miss Dragulia looks wide-eyed.

Meanwhile, the people in the hall were also shocked after saw Kulshedra's transformation.

"What!?"

"What is that!?"

"How can that woman change into a spear!?"

"What's the meaning of this!?"

"I don't know either."

"I'm initially a bit confused why Lord Lucifer command Lady Grayfia to teleport that woman to the Arena, but now I understand."

"That boy's chant mentioned "Kulshedra The Disaster Dragon Queen", but I never heard that name before."

"Who or what is she truly?"

"Is it possible that she's an Independent-type Sacred Gear? That boy is a human-devil hybrid, right?"

"Hmm.... I don't know. I'm not sure."

People's getting extremely curious and try to asked Mephisto Pheles for an answer. But Mephisto keep silent and just smirked cheekily and suggested them to keep watching.
