Sword Birth

"Once upon a time in a distant city, a girl who only thought about working, every day she was the first to go out into the country and the last to return," said a girl with black hair and a dark face.

"Every day was the same, the work was the same, the food tasted the same until a man appeared and showed her a fantasy world", the girl's voice was full of tenderness.

"Gods, monsters, devils, dragons and vampires, they were all real and hid from humans and used them for food, but this man protected everyone in his city without them knowing it", she stroked the head of the child who listened to everything.

"One day the girl went to meet the boy who stole her heart from the monotony, but on that day he didn't show up and it was like that for the next few months," the girl's voice grew increasingly somber.

"Until one day she saw someone lying in front of her house, he was the same man, but there was something threatening, an invisible bloodlust radiated from his body", she clasped her hands on the bedsheet.

"She was brave and fought the urge to run away and came closer, that day they sealed the love they had for each other before he disappeared and never came back, the man she loved became a vampire", she said with tears in the eyes.

The bedroom door is open and the silhouette of a 9 or 10-year-old girl appears, she had long hair up to her waist, but it was impossible to see his color, her eyes were golden with a slight red glow. "Oni-Chan... A man shouldn't keep a girl waiting", she said and held out her hands.

The boy got up from the bed and went to shake her hand, step by step he approached, but he never reached her. He started running, as fast as possible until the ground started to swallow his legs and his body.

"Ouch!" Yan fell off the bed. "That girl again..." he murmured. A few months after the last visit to his mother's grave, he began to dream of this girl, at first it was just the voice, then the silhouette until at last she called him and almost touched her.

It has been two years since the kiss with Serafall, the two have decided to keep Sona a secret and wait for him to get bigger to get into a relationship, despite the fact that he steals another kiss while feeding on her.

"There's no use thinking about it, better train and then play chess with Sona", in the last few months, 3 approximately, he completed etiquette training and reached a high technical level of mastery with swords, surpassing the instructor in technique and losing in strength, after all, he is a middle / upper-class devil against a child, in addition to training his vampiric powers, controlling the mist and transforming into a bat, the magic training was suspended until he became a devil.

After visiting the tomb Sona became increasingly distant from Serafall (Lia-Tan) and Me, focusing on studies and preparing to take over the position of head of the Sitri family after her sister became a Maou, but even so all days in the past few months she forces two chess matches a day, which she wins easily and gets in a bad mood the rest of the day.

It's also been a year since he awoke his Sacred Gear: Sword Birth, he has the ability to create swords basically, however, it has something special that he can't explain about the equipment itself, besides the Sacred Gear Creator is still inactive.

But leaving that aside and focusing on what matters today is a special day, why do you ask? Today Sona and other young devils would win their evil pieces and then there would be a celebration party to honor the new generation. The devils have a low fertility rate and when six children are born at the same time among the nobles it is a cause for celebration.

During the party, some children would use their pieces and display their peers who would compete in the rating game in the future, the system that was implemented by the current Beezelbub, Ajuka, after creating the evil pieces after the Great War, which resulted in the death of countless devils. This system is used to measure the strength of the devil and reflects the social position in devil society.

During the day, Yan prepared to face the first big event that he would participate in, during all the years living in the Sitri house, training, and being educated, he was never allowed to attend high society events, because he is not officially a devil.

"Yan-sama, are you ready?", A servant of the Sitri family called the young man who was dressing to go to the event.

"I'm going!" Shouted the young man as he looked at himself in the mirror. A white dress shirt, black pants, and black dress shoes, the young man was not handsome, but at least seeing him would rate him with a "Good".

Arriving in front of the residence was Serafall, she came to pick him up while her parents accompanied Sona, she was wearing a dark blue striped suit that stuck to her body and a small red tie.

He cannot help whistling when the saw her dressed like that, usually, at home she always does Cosplay. "Lia-Tan later, you're going to wear that suit!", He said excitedly.

"Not! I don't like that type of clothing! She sucks my Mahou Shoujo Energy!", she shouted as she puffed out her cheeks.

"Okay, so you're not going to recharge your Yan-power tonight," said the boy, crossing his arms and facing Maou.

"You wouldn't have the courage!" She replied.

"Hahaha!", He laughed maliciously while Serefall trembled with fear. "A real Devil King", thought the project of Mahou Shoujo.

At the party site, at the Gremory residence, multiple devils and their peers came to honor the young people who in the future would bring glory to their families, even among the young people there were those who stood out, Sona Sitri the future head of the family who was able to dissolve for their own arranged her own efforts and declared that she would marry only those who defeat him in a game of chess.

Sairaorg Bael (12 years old), the cripple, current heir of the Bael family who did not awaken the power of inherent destruction of his lineage and for that reason he was despised by everyone, but he strengthened himself to the point of becoming stronger and taking it for himself the right of succession after defeating his younger brothers.

And finally Rias Gremory, the future bride of Rise Phoenix, because of an agreement between her parents to create a connection between the two houses, but she openly disagrees with the forced marriage, waiting for the miraculous help of her brother, the current Maou Lucifer.

When Yan arrived at the residence, Sona was wearing a blue one-piece dress, with some ruffles on the ends, blue sneakers, and a silver necklace with an S pendant, a gift from our MC. She was accompanied by Rias and a white-haired girl in a white striped shirt with a thin strap and brown shorts above her knees.

"You arrived, let me introduce you to my friend Rias, this is Yan Zollen, a Dhampir and future Knight in my peers", at the moment when Yan heard the last part his ego hurt a little, he knew he was not qualified for another piece, but it still hurt.

"Yan-kun, she's Rias Gremory brother of Maou Lucifer, and my friend and Koneko is beside her rook", Yan nodded slightly and was going to greet the two, but was interrupted by the announcement of the party host.

"Attention, since all the young people will meet with their peers, let's start a small, dynamic between them, please select one of your peers for a combat demonstration!", The announcement was followed by a round of applause by the spectators, they wanted to know what they could expect from the new kings and their peers.

"My chance!" Exclaimed Yan mentally and his sacred equipment vibrated along.
