3rd POV
Urien looks at the Joestar mark on his shoulder with a confused expression. And then something clicked in his mind. "Ah… That's right. She had never seen me without any shirts, isn't she? Well, I am sure she won't know anything about JoJo's Bizarre Adventures so, it won't be a problem to tell her about it," he thought.
"This?" he asked her while touching the mark just to see her nodding vigorously. "Well, time to start my bullshit," he thought.
"This is my birthmark. If I remember correctly, only my grandfather and I have this birthmark. Well, only the two of us if I don't add those relatives of mine who kept on appearing in my dream," he started his bullshit.
"If I remember it right, they call this mark a Joestar mark," he continued while looking downward not seeing the shocked face of Yubel.
"Urien is a freaking Joestar! Wait does that mean, the whole Gregorios family is a Joestar?" Yubel is screaming internally.
"Ara... my dear disciple, will you kindly introduce me to this young lady?" Cecilia's head pops up from behind Urien's shoulder which scared the hell out of Yubel who was lost in her own thought.
"AAAHHH!" she jumped back like a scared kitten.
"FU… FUHAHAHAHA!" both Urien and Cecilia laughed at the antics of Yubel.
"This young lady is my dear friend, Yubel Zestina of the Zestina family. And Yubel, this is my magic instructor, Cecilia Rose," he introduced the two of them.
"What the hell is wrong with today?! Why am I seeing one of the boss monsters from Part 2 here?! The canon of Part 1 hasn't even started yet!" Yubel is trying her best not to not to say, 'fuck it' and go back to her territory.
"Okay, Yubel. Just act like any normal humans who meets another normal human," she thought herself.
"It is nice to meet you, Miss Cecilia Rose. My name is Yubel Zestina, daughter of Abel and Irene Zestina," she gave the lady in front of her utmost respect. That girl is someone who can kill her with just a snap. But not as cleanly as the mad titan's snap because a snap from the lady in front of her will leave the mess everywhere.
"Oh my, look at this young lady. She is totally different from you, dear disciple. She doesn't even make fun of my physical appearance like what you did," the vampire loli nudged Urien with her elbow.
"It was not my fault, okay? You truly looked like a kid back then," Urien replied to her with a deadpan stare.
"Oi! Urien! Why are you talking to her like she is some kind of friend?! She can kill you easily, you know?" she screamed shockingly in her thought even as far as slipping in the word of her previous world.
"Why are you looking at me with such intensity? Perhaps… did you fall in love with me? I am sorry, I have nothing against the love between girls, but my heart already belongs to my dear student right here," the legal loli faked her sadness and grabbed both of Urien's shoulders with her hands from behind while putting her chin on the right shoulder.
"You do know that I am still underage, right? If you keep this up, as a lord of this territory, I will be forced to arrest you for being a pedophile," Urien just sighed at his teacher's antics.
Yubel is still in her shocked state. She never thought that the cold and emotionless vampire princess of the Demon King's army would show this many emotions. "I had to try many times just to clear her stage because she was one of the hardest bosses in Part 2. So, I am familiar with her behaviors. She is nothing like the lady in front of me," she thought.
"No… I was shocked that Urien has a magic instructor and almost used my Appraisal skill unconsciously," she lied. "I am sure she won't let anyone use Appraisal on her, let us not talk about someone whom she just met. With this, she will just refuse me or disregard what I had just said. With that, I am SAFE," she thought.
"Sure, you can use it on me," Cecilia replied with a haughty smile.
"I am sorry. I won't let this – wait... what?" Yubel, who was apologizing was shocked… again because of Cecilia's reply.
"I mean my dear disciple trust you enough and you gave me a good first impression," the vampire loli nodded sagely and walk to the left side of Urien.
"So, I will let you use your skill on me for now. If you use your skill on me later date," the air suddenly feels heavy in the surrounding. "I will eliminate you personally," her red eyes are staring intensely at Yubel's blue eyes. Cold sweat appears on Yubel's body, and she even forgets to breathe.
*Smack*
A chop came onto Cecilia's head at that time. "Please don't try to scare off my friend, teacher. She is the only friend I have," Urien said while chopping the loli's head for the second time. Only when the pressure disappears, Yubel starts breathing again heavily.
"I am sorry. I just need to make sure my message gets to your head," Cecilia grins like she did nothing wrong. "Now, use your Appraisal on me," she spreads open her arms.
"Tha-Thank you," Yubel wipes away her cold sweats and prepares to use the standard Appraisal used in this world. You can say that curiosity won over her fear.
[Name: Cecilia Rose]
[Mana Point: ?????/?????]
[Race: Pureblood Vampire]
[Skills: Unmeasurable]
She grabbed her head because of the sudden headache. "I am sorry, but can I use the skill on you again?" she tried asking.
"Hmm? Did something happen? Sure, go ahead," Cecilia nodded her head.
Now, she uses the Appraisal for her System.
[Name: Cecilia Rose]
[Titles: Adopted Daughter of the Demon King, Beloved Teacher of Urien Gregorios, Magic Researching Maniac, the One Who Rules over Blood]
[Skills: Accelerated Reading (Expert), Blood Manipulation Magic (Expert), Darkness Magic (Expert), Elemental Magic (Expert), Politics (Intermediate), Physical Enhancing Magic (Expert), Space Manipulation Magic (Intermediate), Sword Art (Intermediate), Teaching (Expert), Thought Acceleration (Intermediate), etc.]
[Thought about you: Amuse, Curious, Willing to eliminate you if you are a danger to her student]
"Her skills are too many that the System only shows the skills with intermediate proficiency and above while others are shown with etc." Yubel thought.
"Pureblood vampire?" she asked the question what others would want to hear.
"Yes. So, what do you think about it?"
"Nothing. I am not someone who discriminates against others because of their race," she replied resolutely.
"HAHAHA! I like you more and more now, girl!"
"I don't know about you guys, but I am starting to get tired standing in the corridor," Urien cut in the talk between the two.
"Urien, can I?" Yubel asked permission to use her skill on Urien.
"Hmm? Sure, go ahead," Urien was sure that his System will filter out the skills from the Appraisal sill so, he agreed to it.

[Thought about you: Amuse, Glad that you are his friend]
"His last name had become Joestar. So, he really is one. And what the hell is wrong with his political skill? This is the first time the System had shown proficiency in negative. Then, what is up with those titles?! Beloved of Lady of the Lake? Aine is someone who would not move an inch unless this planet is in danger. How come Urien became her beloved? And what is that knightly name? It is oddly similar to the tokusatsu show that my brother used to watch." She thought.
"You had become stronger, didn't you?" Yubel asked him.
"Of course! Who the hell do you think I am?!"
"Thank you for letting me use my skill on you. It is getting late, and I should be going now. Please excuse me," she laughed a bit and gave Urien and Cecilia a curt bow befitting for a noble lady.
"I see. It is a shame to make you go back like this. Do you want more the meat of that big lizard? I still have some if you want it."
"No, we still have those meats. You gave me enough for half a year's worth already. See you next month," after saying goodbye, she walks back to the place where she came.
"Let's go and drink some tea," Urien also turns back and walks toward where Luna is present.
"Sir Gurguit entrusted Lady Aria to teach you Sword Arts, Master," when he arrived at the table, Luna informed him about the news. "Lady Aria intends to teach you at night after knowing that you haven't fought with someone during night," she continued.
"Is that so? Then, I will be sleeping until that time. Please wake me up when the time comes, Luna."
"Of course, Master. And are you sure it would be a good idea to let Lady Aria do your paperwork?"
"Meh, you don't need to worry about that. She is a competent leader," he replied.
Time skip to the time when Urien is standing face to face with Aria,
"I must go all out against her," our resident Evil Lord wannabe thought.
He extends his right hand to the side and draws a circle in the air. A halo of light appears, and the armor comes out from that halo just to put itself on his body. The armor is dark silver in color with purple neon lights around the body.
{System, is it just me or the helmet looks a lot like Garo}
[This armor is heavily based on Garo, host. Of course, it will look like one]
{And I thought it would be shiny silver because of the name}
[The armor will shine brightly under the sun, and it will become a dark silver color under the moonlight. The main usage of this armor is assassination as it will become less visible to normal eyes, host]
{Sure, if you say so}
"Makai Knight, Iko, moving forward!" he rushed toward Aria without making any sounds.
But…
*BAM!*
He got his ass kicked in the first second. No normal would be able to match the skill of the Lion King who has the skills of the King of Knight.
"Again!" he stands up again and alas, he is laying on the ground again. It keeps on like that until midnight when he became exhausted.
"Let's stop, for now, Urien," Aria told her son? Master? Summoner?
"I can do this all day," Urien replied.
"Then at least stop lying on the ground before saying that," Aria deadpan at Urien.
She princess carry him back to his room. But without taking advantage of Urien as he is currently unable to move and too tired to open his eyes. She takes him into the bath and cleans all nook and cranny of his body.
"You must sleep now, Urien. You have to meet with the adventurers' guild representative to let them open a branch in this town," Aria informed Urien but he fell asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. She also sleeps beside him as there are many rooms on the bed.
The next morning,
"It is nice to meet you, Lord Gregorios. My name is Isabel Vina, and I am the representative of the adventurers' guild. I am to serve as a guild master of this branch if we got permission from you," in front of him, a young girl in her early twenties is sitting with professional looks.
