Needed Tonight [2]

Vin sat on a chair listening to the boring audition being presented.

Time ticked against his actions and the worst was yet to come.

The round of applause woke him from an unending sea of thoughts.

Clapping alongside, he suddenly saw it wasn't over.

"Damn! This isn't the end! Just the beginning?!" A frustrated and fuming Vin said, tears almost dropping from his eyes.

"Thank you for your devotion to your training…."

[That voice is Mr Snow's.]

"I'm so glad you all have gained two or more experiences here at this training…."

[I need to get out of here! Sebastian will soon show up.]

Vin stood up, trying to walk away from the gathering when he suddenly heard an award.

"... For the most exceptional student during the few months before the exam, this award goes to Vin, Vincent Sweden!."

Thunder of applause erupted from the ground. Not only were there F-rank in the midst, rank E to A were all present, but separated from each other.

Trying to suppress his anger, Vin smiled at the crowd before walking with wide strides to the podium.

Climbing up the steps, he took the award from Snow, still with a smile and his eyes on the other members of the council members.

There wasn't any time remaining.

Holding the trophy, Vin rapped these words, "I'm so happy to receive this award, I will try to get better. Thank you."

The entire crowd went silent, as he ran down the podium, rushing outside.

"Weird boy!" Akio said not understanding what just happened.

Meanwhile, Vin ran out of the palace, passing the guards with the speed of light.

Walking into an alley, he looked around to see if anyone was watching, then dropped his hood.

[Where is Sebastian-]

"My Lord, you-" Sebastian appeared behind him, trying to speak up.

"Let's get this over with!"

"Y-yes My Lord."

Opening a portal quickly, Sebastian didn't want to anger his master for the second time.

Entering into the portal, Vin's eyes narrowed at the place this led to.

In a gigantic mansion, filled with different high Demons, all looking breathtaking and beyond an ordinary beauty.

Immediately he stepped on the sparkling clean floor, the entire candle flames changed its color from Yellow to red. The aura in the room also.

"LORD DRAVIL!" All who stood went on their knees, adoring the overpowered dark lord.

Vin on the other hand walked past them without paying attention to who said this and that, all because time stood against him.

Unknowingly, this was the exact attitude of Dravil himself.

Pride.

"Where is he who invited me?" Vin asked.

"A-"

Not wanting to listen, Vin rushed away from the hall when he picked up the words going on in one of the demoness' minds.

'How handsome he is! The lord of all!. I wish I could stay by his side'

[What the heck! I can read minds now?!.]

Without wasting any more time, he walked out from the hall. His mind calculates how to address the demon who invited him.

[I remember the Demon's name, Aragon. A demon who madly loves to be surrounded by women.]

"Aragon! We need to talk!" Vin pushed open the door, only to not be surprised as he saw him with more than a thousand women, an entire harem.

"Oh you came, how wonderful! So you do care about me" a sweet melodious voice left Aragon's mouth. So beautiful, it sounded like a siren's song.

"What? No! I Just came because I had to. Why did you invite me?" Vin asked as Aragon stood up from the bed.

"Well, you are always busy, I wanted to let you have a free calm day."

"You are a terrible liar!" Vin went straight to the point.

"Okay, you got me, just like always" stretching out his hands, Aragon pulled out the souls of all the women present in the room.

Their scream made him smile. Of course what else was to be expected from him.

Sending their souls into a door to his opposite, a locking sound made Vin frown.

"I finally knew how to open this door" Aragon twirled around with happiness.

[This demon is something else. From his behavior and attitude, I know he's trying to impress me.]

"How long have you been trying to open this door?"

"More than a century My Lord" Aragon's voice sounded stressed out.

"Well-done."

A glitter sparkled in Aragon's eyes as he heard this for the first time.

"Anyways, w-"

Without allowing him to complete his words, Aragon brought out a book from the room, before it was destroyed, shutting up.

"My lord, I present to you the book of the damned." Aragon said with a bow.

[How should I react?.]

Vin slightly smiled, taking the book from his hands.

"I'll keep a hold of this, well-done Aragon, you've impressed me this time!"

"Yes My Lord!" Happiness filled his voice as Vin opened a portal, trying to get away. "Wait My Lord!"

"What?"

"Aren't you going to stay longer?"

"I will be right back!" Vin quickly said this, closing the portal immediately.

'I can't believe Lord Dravil told me well-done. He also told me he was impressed! I'll do my best to make him more impressed so I can stay by his side and be his personal advisor'

AND THE SWAPPING BEGINS…

Vin ran towards the gathering, coming face to face with Snow.

"Why did you run off in the middle of a gathering?"

"I had to use the bathroom" Vin forged the only lie he could think of.

"I see."

"Yes…."

"Okay, hold that trophy carefully" Snow advised him with all levels of seriousness.

"Yes Mr Snow!" Vin ran away into the dorm, keeping the trophy, alongside the book Aragon gave to him, which he threw under the bed.

Then, he opened a portal back to Aragon's mansion.

There he drank another glass of blood.

Feeling disgusted yet stronger, he opened another portal back to the palace, where he drank a full cup of ice fruit punch.

Again, he opened a portal back to Aragon's mansion where he was entertained by different demons.

"Oh my God! All these portal openings are making me dizzy" Vin said, adjusting his hood, when he looked up only to see fire burning almost everything.

[Did I open the wrong portal?.]

"Vin, where have you been?" Snow dragged him out of the open which got blasted by fire.

"What is happening?"

"Look!" Snow pointed at a giant serpent which destroyed everything in its part.

"What the-"

"We are being attacked by a B-ranked monster, Hrigon."
