3 Knowledge is Power

Arias POV

I think I have an idea as to how to open the lock on the book considering it doesn't have a keyhole it most likely need the demonic energy of its owner to open it but I have no idea how to properly summon my demonic energy at the moment .

Which means I have to randomly try to summon my demonic energy and hope that I don't accidentally summon the power of destruction instead if I even have it in the first place.

After putting my hands on the lock and imagining my power to come to my hands a few seconds pass by before I began to feel something in me responding to my call . My hands began to glow and the lock on the book pop open just like I expected .

After finishes doing a mini celebration in my mind celebrating my success . I open the book with hope that it will be a grimoire that can teach me how to use magic but my hope was instantly crush .

The content of the book looks like it was written by a child and after I read a few lines . l realize the book was actually the diary of the original Arias .

At this point I don't know if I want to cry the tear of happiness since now I should be able to assume the identity of Arias without any more problem or if I should cry the tear of sadness since I still can't fine a proper way of using magic .

I mean it not like I can randomly go up to someone and ask them to teach me about magic it will definitely start raising some eyebrow as I'm pretty sure that a 12 years old devil should know how to use magic even if only the basic ones but something tells me that as the son of Sirzechs Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge I should know far more than just the basic ones .

I guess I can technically ask someone to teach me a high level magic to avoid suspicion but that will be the same as if someone who have never even heard of computer suddenly planning to take a PhD in computer engineering it simply won't end well trust me.

I guess since I when through all the trouble of opening the diary I should at least read it and learn as much as I can about the original Arias . I hope it's readable and not boring since it pretty thick.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I might have underestimate the amount of information one can get from a diary . This thing is almost a gold mine to me right now the amount of information I'm getting is really incredible .

So to make long story short I have spend almost 12 hours reading this diary . I even have my lunch and dinner sent to my room so I can eat while reading it .

To summarize what I have learned so far is that I'm 12 years old like I originally thought and Rias is a year older than me . She also already have her queen Akeno Himejima for almost a year now . While just gaining Shirone a month ago or should I say Koneko Toujou .

I guess I arrive a bit to late to even try to change their situation even if I wanted to .

While so far there's no mention of Yuuto Kiba and Gasper Vladi . To be honest I don't even remember specifically when they join Rias peerage other than before the start of canon .

If anyone is curious about the party that Grayfia and Venelana is talking about the one that the original Arias pass out drunk from because of Sirzechs is actually a party held to celebrate Arias gaining his evil piece . No wonder only the king piece is missing from the set .

A piece of good news at least I think it is . The original Arias didn't have a lot of close friend other than Serafall and Ravel . The main reason is that the original Arias spend most of his time train and the other reason is he is pretty shelter from the outside world by his parents for a reason you will learn later .

The next thing I learned is the situation with Rias engagement to Riser Phenex is currently happening . Zeoticus Gremory is currently in talked about it with Lord Phenex . Okay technically the situation is a much more complicated .

Apparently the talk about the engaging Riser to Rias already happened not long after Rias is born but only recently did those two decided to make things official . As soon as they put pen to paper to the agreement they encounter a big problem .

Mainly involving Rias hating Riser's personality and Riser very interested in getting married to Rias only because of her beauty . Since both Lord Phenex and Zeoticus is still very interested in joining their families together .

They decided too put forth another idea instead . They planning on engaging Arias to Ravel since they only have one year gap between them in terms of age and apparently there close friend . So you most likely will be asking why did they not just do that in the first place .

Well the main issue with their brilliant plan B is Arias is not Zeoticus son so he doesn't have the right to marry original me off like he does with Rias and Arias parents Sirzechs and Grayfia is not keen on the arrange marriage idea since they believe that their children have right in choosing who they decided to spend the rest of their life with.

So if Original Arias decided to get married to Ravel it will be because of his personal choice to instead of because a piece of paper telling him to do that .

So at the very least they can cancel the original agreement between Rias and Riser and wait until Arias are Ravel decided if they want to get married or not before going with Rias and Riser again right you will most likely say .

Well here is where things get a bit complicated apparently the contract can only be cancelled if all parties involved agree to do that and apparently Riser is not a big fan of the marriage being called off and refused to cancel the arrange marriage contract .

At this moment the whole marriage talk between the two families is on halt until further notice .

Well on to the next piece of information that I managed to get out of the diary is how to use magic . Apparently the original Arias decided to record his progress in learning magic in his diary in detail . So I should be able to relearn all the magic that the original Arias have learned .

The biggest piece of information in this diary in my opinion is the fact that I apparently do have the ability to use the power of destruction but there is where good news end .

Apparently being born to two powerful devil is not always a good thing like I originally expected because sometimes there's a small chance that the child will be born with to much demonic energy for the child new born body to support .

Apparently having to much demonic energy without a strong enough body to go with it is a bad idea . The problem should be easy enough to fix since it something that happened to newly reincarnated devil especially a bishop sometimes .

For most people just train your body to become strong enough to withstand the amount of demonic energy your body has but when the person who has to much energy in question is a baby it is impossible for them to train .

So they can only rely on seal to suppress the energy until the baby become old enough to physically train their body but apparently the seal on my body was not very effective in sealing the power since I have the power of destruction it cause the seal to fail often .

This cause my new body to be weaker that it should be even when Arias already train his body to become strong enough to hold the amount of demonic energy he has this is the second reason why Arias parents are sheltering him .

Long term exposure to strong demonic energy have caused some permanent damage to the body luckily nothing life threatening but it will rule out all plans I have involving become a great physically type fighter . At least I have a very great potential to become a powerful mage type fighter .

Since it already late night I decided to rest for the day and start training my magic first thing tomorrow morning before anyone realize that I can use magic yet .

Not long after I feel asleep unaware to me the door to my bedroom open and someone enter into the room .
