Gathering(2)

Hey Guys, Author here, just to tell you that I found that the name Arthur didn't stick well with the story as it is not a Devil name, I'll change his name in all chapters to Azrek from now on, thanks for your support.

Enjoy your stay!

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

It had already been two weeks since Azrek told his parents that he would go with them to the next gathering, and for most parts, it went as usual with him continuing to deepen his understanding of chess.

Due to his previous life where he was born as a part of the nobility, he had learned chess since he was young, playing with his father when he had the time and being taught by some teacher renowned across the globe.

Thus he already possessed a quite deep level when it came to chess, obviously not to the point that he would be invincible.

For example, his father in this life could beat him, not surprising since he had already lived for more than eight hundred years, the same went for his mother who was the same age.

But he could also win against opponents older than himself, for example in his mother's Peerage, some of them loved chess, and he was able to defeat them easily.

In general, all Devils were good at chess because their status was determined by it.

All went as usual until five days before the gathering, when his mother came to bring him to choose his clothes...

Azrek was considered quite handsome, with black hair and deep purple eyes, he had the facial features of his father while his hairs were the same color as his mother.

Due to this most of the clothes that his mother wanted him to wear suited him quite well, but this was the origin of the most exhausting week of his new life, not even training for a whole year was as difficult mentally than his mother selecting clothes for two days straight without rest.

When he finally exited the room after two days, he saw his father smiling lightly at him and nod in satisfaction when he looked at him.

Azrek's looks were accentuated by the contrast of black and white of his clothes thus making him appear slightly older than he was, furthermore, due to him having reached the highest he could in terms of physical strength, his build was as well defined as it could.

All in all, he would be considered as cute by older women who would be able to see that he would grow to be handsome in the future, and good looking to girls around his age.

After that, Azrek stopped wearing the clothes to let the servants clean them and make some adjustments before the soon coming gathering.

The five following days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the gathering.

As to how they would go there, his father had already said that they would teleport, for the destination, Azrek had no idea about it, but his father had said to him that it was in the territory of another of the 72 pillars.

The three of them gathered in the living room and teleported away from the castle.

All Azrek could see was a flash of light that forced him to close his eyes, when he reopened them, he was standing before another castle which he assumed would be the gathering place.

"Mother, what family are we visiting this time?" As he still didn't know, he decided to ask his mother to better prepare himself.

"Oh right, I still didn't tell you about it, today's gathering is hosted by the House of Sitri," Salna replied with a smile.

"Ehh, the house of one of the Four Satans... interesting." Azrek's eyes opened slightly wider as he looked in interest at the place before him. There was a very high probability that he would meet some future big hands of the underworld here since from what he remembered the girl from Sitri alongside the one from Gremory were members of the Four most promising Devils youths, aside from that the two of them were childhood friends and had if he remembered correctly quite a good relationship.

'Speaking of the Rookie Four, that guy from Bael was also one of the members... But I don't know if he would be there due to how his clan sees him. Before he becomes stronger... sigh.' counting the time he had arrived in this world, it had already been more than six years since he had received any information about Highschool DxD, thus he wasn't too sure about himself when it comes to the childhood of the Devils that wasn't even part of the main plot back then.

While he was thinking, his father and his mother had already started walking forward while he followed behind them.

'No need to think too much, I'm not in the world of some Novel, these peoples are real not will go as planned since I was born in this world while I didn't even exist in the Novel. After he recollected himself, he realized that he and his parents had arrived at their destination.

Before Azrek, a large amount of devils stood in little groups speaking amongst themselves before tables filled with drink and food.

All the peoples turned their heads when they saw that some peoples had just arrived, all had smiles on their faces when they looked at Azrek's parents, but when they saw him behind them, all their smiles turned to surprise, the weaker amongst them were surprised by his presence, but those that were strong in the group were able to feel the enormous Demonic Energy as it was already higher than some adult devil present here.

"Gentleman, Excuse me I'm late." After seeing everyone's face, Azrek's father, Solas went toward the group composed mostly of Ultimate-Class Devils after patting Azrek on his back, as for his mother, she gave him an encouraging smile before going toward another group of females Devils which Azrek remembered to be some friends of her.

Seeing their action, Azrek couldn't help but smile wryly as he shook his head before going toward the group composed of kids of his generation.
