Chapter : 25

Akeno handed Issei a sheet of paper. On it was a circle, a pentagram. It looked very complicated, with a lot of strange characters and symbols that Issei couldn't make heads or tails of. Still, it did look kind of familiar...

"I told you before that a Devil requires a signed contract in order to utilize a humans power," Rias lectured as Issei stared at the pentagram. Naruto also listened from where he sat, but didn't move. Or to be more accurate, he couldn't move. Koneko was still purring in his lap. "With this, humans can summon devils, after which they forge an agreement based on the fulfillment of a humans wish, taking power equivalent to the wish they grant."

Even Naruto, who wasn't actually as stupid as he sometimes acted, thought the whole thing was needlessly complicated. He got the basics of it; Devils make a contract and grant a human their wish and in return are given power.

It was sort of like how summoning creatures required something from those who summoned them; toads required subservience to a degree and Snakes required sacrifices. In return, they would aid you in battle.

Still, learning the more intricate details of something had never been Naruto's strong point. It didn't help that he had a very short attention span.

"In recent times, humans who can draw this kind of pentagram have become very rare, almost non-existent. That's why we were giving out simplified pentagrams to people with strong desires." Both Issei and Naruto looked at Rias. "Issei, you happened to be on the street that day, where you received one from one of our familiars passing out the forms."

Issei scrunched his face up as he tried to remember that moment. It took some effort, but he eventually remembered receiving the sheet of paper from a cute girl when he was waiting for Yuuma to meet him for their date.

Of course, remembering that moment also made him remember Yuuma stabbing him in the stomach. Needless to say, Issei could not help but feel a bit depressed.

Rias continued on, either unaware or ignoring Issei's increasing depression. She placed the back of her fingers against her cheek and offered the lecherous pervert a coy look. "In your dying moment, your wish was to at least die in the arms of a beautiful girl. When I was summoned, I discovered that you had a Sacred Gear so I saved your life."

Issei nodded his head to everything he was being told. It made sense to him, sort of. He didn't really get a lot of what they were telling him, but he understood the basics. He had been killed, Rias saved him by turning him into a devil, and if he wanted to become a harem-king he would need to grow stronger. And really, that last part was all he needed to know.

Yes, not even being a Devil meant anything to him so long as he could get his harem.

He was perverted like that.

Despite not being the kind of person who enjoyed learning new things, Naruto did find himself strangely fascinated when Rias began explaining the Devil hierarchy.

There were apparently four different classes of Devils; lower, middle, upper and elite class, otherwise known as the ultimate class.

The lower class Devils were the ones like him, Issei, and the other members of Rias' peerage; humans and hybrids who were reincarnated as Devils. Essentially, all new Devils were of the lower class. The middle class was where Devils finally gained recognition and were given the titles of either baronet/baroness or knight/dame. After that was the upper class, where Devils could be given titles such as Marquess, Margrave/Margravine, Count/Countess, Viscount/Viscountess, or Baron/Baroness. And finally, there was the elite or ultimate class. This was the highest level one could ascend to among the Devil hierarchy, with titles consisting of Demon Lord, Great King, Arch Duke, Duke and Prince/Princess.

Naruto really didn't care much for the titles, or for gaining nobility. He had seen what most nobles were like. The Hyuga had been a bunch of stuck up pricks with their own heads shoved so far up their ass it was a wonder they could smell those incredibly fragrant gardens that littered their ridiculously large and expensive residence.

No way in hell Naruto wanted to be like those guys.

Though, thinking on it, wasn't Rias a part of the nobility? She was a really awesome person from what he had seen so far. He enjoyed spending time with her. And she couldn't be the only one among the nobility who wasn't a stuck up snob.

Right?

Well, whatever. Being a noble still didn't interest him. However, he did manage to pick up something from all this. Those who were considered Ultimate class Devils were supposed to be the strongest rank among their species. He supposed it was similar to an S-rank ninja, which were supposed to be ninja who had skills on par with a kage but weren't actually kage's, like the Sannin or members of the Akatsuki. They were recognized as the best and strongest amongst their peers.

In other words, they were the ultimate bad asses.

And so, Naruto finally found himself with a new goal in life. He would become an ultimate class Devil. No, he would become The Strongest Ultimate class Devil. The undisputed most powerful Devil in the entire world. Yes. That was his new goal.

Too ambitious? Remember, this was the kid who, at the tender age of eight, decided he was going to become Hokage. Uzumaki Naruto never does anything half-assed. It was all or nothing with this guy.

"So if I become a noble, having a harem will no longer be a mere dream!?"

And, of course, there was also that guy. Naruto sighed and shook his head at Issei's words. The boy had a one track mind when it came to life. Harem this, harem that, harem-king. It was a wonder the boy had any thoughts in his head other than harem.

Truly, this boy must be Ero-sennin's reincarnation or something. That was the only logical explanation for how there could possibly be someone so perverted in this world.

"That's right," Rias smiled at the pair. "I expect you two to work hard from now on."

"Yes, Buchou/You've got it, Rias."

"Good, and for your first task," Rias showed them a flier with a pentagram on it. "You two are going to be handing out these fliers."

"EH!?
