Unwanted Visitor

"Gagaga! Brp!"

I smile a little as my sister plays with the flame I control. It has been a few months since my peerage and I visited the Celtic Gods' homeland and received some training from the legendary teacher from Ireland.

"Ago! Brp! Abu Abu!"

I tickle Ravel and smile when I hear her giggling. Today is the last day for me to spend all of my time playing with my sister. The reason? I need to go to school tomorrow. I need to attend the Foundation Devil Academy. It was the devil equivalent of Elementary grade school.

I really did not want to attend the academy, but my father told me that it was a duty of a noble child. He said that it was a perfect place to make a connection with other noble children. If I did not attend the academy, there would be a rumor running around because I did not attend the academy, and my father said all of the rumors would be a bad one.

"How is Ravel doing, Riser?"

I snap from my thoughts and look at my mother, who walks toward me from the kitchen with my other mother. Her name is Charlotte Alcott. She is a Druid from the land down under who my father met when he went to that country helping some human contractor there.

Only hers and my mother have a child among my father's harem. Well, Charlotte's child has yet to be born. She is currently pregnant and in her third month.

"She is doing fine, mother. She is still hyper like usual. Right, Ravel?~"

"Ga! Bu!"

I blow raspberries on her stomach and hear her laugh in delight. After laughing, she started to play with my hair, and I must say that her grip was really strong.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. You can't do that, Ravel."

I gently take Ravel's hands away from my hair and give her a milk bottle. I let her suck on the milk inside the bottle before giving it to my mother, who was smiling at me.

"Here you go, a beautiful bundle of joy."

"Thank you for taking care of her, dear. Charlotte and I need to make baby clothes for her child and your future brother."

"Oh? It is a boy?"

"Yup~ Now Ravel can have a little brother she can play with!"

I smile a little when I see my mother already daydreaming about my future little brother, who I know will suffer from my mother's baby book activity. I don't know if the other mother has a baby book of her own, but my mother has a THICK baby book.

My big brothers' baby books are forty centimeters thick each. In comparison, my book is ten centimeters thicker than them. Ravel's baby book has already started to fill up, and I know she will have even more books than us. After all, she is the only girl in our family except for my mother. Especially with mother Charlotte having a little boy, I know that my mother will take as many pictures of Ravel as she can.

"Anyway, mom. How are you two doing?"

"We are doing fine. Charlotte over here is asking about some tips about her incoming baby. Ah! Before I forget, here you go."

I can see her take out a letter from her pocket and give it to me.

"Here is your letter of the thing you need to bring tomorrow morning."

"Books… and training armor? I understand the books but the armor?"

"Ah, it was necessary. The academy did not really provide training armor because they will always break it every time the sparring season starts."

"Huh? The academy cannot afford training armor?"

"They can, but the council decided that the high-born children need to bring their own armor and let the money they had to buy the training armor for low-born children."

"Ah, I see."

I guess that makes sense. Hakos Academy is a well-known academy that always lets any low-born devil learn in the academy as long as they pass the acceptance test. When they get accepted by the academy, all of their needs will be taken care of by the academy, from their food to their training equipment. As long as you get into the academy, you will be set for life.

Unlike the human world, the underworld only has two ranks in education. The first is the foundation where a six to seven-year-old devil gets their basic knowledge and basic training for nine years.

The next one is what basically college in the underworld called the Master Education. Unlike foundation education, this stage of education is focused on what kind of work you want to do. This education takes twenty years.

There is mundane work, and there is education that focuses on Rating Games. This type of education aims to make sure every graduate of this academy reaches the High-Class devil and has their own peerage member to join the Rating Game.

"How does Rias take the news?"

"She is sad seeing you go to the academy, but Vene is able to talk her out of it."

"Really? And what about the thing about me needing to visit her every week?"

"That is the only thing that makes her stop crying. Also, you don't want to visit her?"

"That is not what I mean. I will visit her gladly. I just want to ask you about it. Anyway, I want to ask about bringing my peerage member to the academy-"

"About that, you can only bring one. Are you sure you want to bring them? Her status among your peerage members will be going down if you do that. She will become your servant in the academy and not a peerage member.

"What do you think I should do, mom?"

"I think you should not bring your peerage to the academy. Let us take care of the servant that will accompany you to the academy."

"Of course, mom. I will leave it to you."

"Good."

|3rd POV|

Valerie looks at her son, who is taking Travel to her room, before releasing a sad sigh.

"Are you okay, sis?"

She looks at Charlotte and nods.

"Yeah. I'm just sad that Riser will go to the academy and stay there."

"Oh, come on, sis. He only stayed there for the first year and can visit you every weekend."

"I know! It was too long! Six days without seeing him."

"Haaaa"

Charlotte sighs, but she still has a smile on her face.

"Riser will grow bigger just like his brothers. You can't just let him stay inside, Val."

"No~ Don't remind me! I want to think he will stay as cute as he is now!"

"Anyway, can you introduce me to this Caster? I want to ask her if she wants to help me make baby clothes."

"Oh~ I almost forgot. Come on"

With that, both Charlotte and Valerie walk toward Caster's workshop. It was not really Medea's workshop but rather where she usually stayed and read some books. Her Magus Temple is in the north pole where they summon Kara.

"Hey, Val. I heard that the letter arrived this morning. A letter from the Greek Pantheon."

"Ah. What do you hear?"

"I know that the Greek wants to meet with Riser."

"Ah. Yeah, the Greek wants to invite Riser and his peerage to Olympus. Hardius already rejects their invitation saying that Riser is busy with his education."

"Is it a wise decision? I agree with you and Hardius, but rejecting a massive pantheon like the Greek will have consequences. Especially with the headstrong Gods like the Greeks. The last time someone rejects their invitation, Ares throws a temper tantrum and decides to plunge the human world into a world war."

What many people see as World War one is something that Ares does when a woman decides to reject his courting attempt. What Ares just does is make many pantheons hate the Greeks even more for their reckless behavior and already threaten them with war.

The Norse almost went to war when Artemis injured Huginn and Muninn when they delivered a message for Odin. This is another reason why Hardius decided to reject the Greek invitation.

"Do you still remember the Huginn and Muninn incident?"

"Of course. It was where the Norse and Greek almost went to war."

"Yeah, that. Hardius is afraid that he will make the Norse angry for accepting the Greek invitation. They are still at each other's throats. Especially when Hera decides to curse the warrior from the Norse Pantheon without any notice, even to this day, we do not know the reason why Hera decided to curse him. She did not want to talk about it, and the warrior died before he could say the reason."

"I see."

"Yup. Haridus did not want to break our relationship with the Norse. We have a good relationship with them, and we can say that we are an ally with the Norse. The Greek, on the other hand…."

"They are too prideful to accept a mutual alliance."

"Exactly. My only hope is that the Greeks did not do anything stupid. Especially that Ares. I know that a God of War is always a headstrong individual, but he is more of a fool than a headstrong. He only thinks with his penis than with his brain."

Valerie just raises a flag up in the air without knowing about it. Walking on the street of Lilith City is a huge man wearing a black leather jacket. He has short black hair and a goatee. All in all, his appearance looks like a member of a biker gang.

This man is Ares, the War God of the Greek Pantheon.

"Heh. It's been a while since I visited the underworld. It has changed so much since then. Heh. It is really sad I need to search for this fucker called Riser Phenex and can't taste a little bit of underworld woman."

Ares takes out a piece of paper from his jacket and sees the picture of Riser Phenex.

"I want to have a 'talk' with someone that makes my wife sad."

Ares misunderstood the reason why Aphrodite had a sad expression when she looked at the Rating Game Riser participates in. He thought it was because Riser did something to her and decided that he needed to teach Riser some lessons. He did not think about how weird his thinking was as Riser never met his wife or any Greek Gods.

His current action will cost him much; he just has yet to know about it.
