The next two hours were Rose trying to convince Hironori to go after Andrea, however it just kept going in circles because he kept saying “But I have no experience with women.” While Rose said “That is what I am here for, while the title of Asmodeus is known mainly for mastery of fire magic it is also famous for being the demon lord governing lust.” Finally the two came to an agreement, he will get to know Andrea better, however, he will not try to progress too quickly. After that matter was settled they went to sleep and he finally got some sleep do to him finally having gotten used to sharing a bed with Rose.

The next day the two got up and while getting everything that he needed Rose forcefully turned him around a said before twirling for him “What do you think, I look great in this, don’t I?” He was shocked the red short skirt, with the black blazer, look great with her long, blue-purple hair. They then went to the cafeteria that was located inside of the dorms. When they walked in there was what looked like a five star restaurant inside, complete with waiters waiting at every table and chefs to personally cook every meal. When everyone present saw Hironori and Rose they were shocked at her beauty and why a guy like him was with her. Hironori was startled and felt extremely out of place and quickly tried to leave. However, she actually forced him to link arms with her and dragged him to an empty table in a corner. 

She quickly ordered for the both of them, because she knew that Hironori was too far out of his element and too nervous about messing up slightly. After the waiter took the order to the chef she quickly gave him a crash course in proper table manners, since despite appearances she is one of the seventy two pillars and having mastery of etiquette was a must she was more then qualified to help him out. 

While they were waiting a group of clearly arrogant pretty boys strode to their table and their leader said, “Hello miss my name is Hora Daichi. I have not seen your beautiful face around here before I was wondering if you were new, and if so would you like a tour of the academy?”  

Seeing Hironori be blatantly ignored and only hit on her she replied while looking at him as if she was looking at some thing even lower then trash “No.”

This gaze made all the boys unconsciously back away half a step the boy refusing to step down insisted  and continued to try to convince her.

“No, now leave as I am trying to have a peaceful breakfast with my Hiro!” and she kissed his cheek.

As Hironori himself knew that he was being ignored completely was actually quite angry, so he decided that he would play along with Rose, and said nothing only giving a smile to her. 

Seeing this the majority of the group had given up, however the leader refused and after seeing that kiss got mad and said "What is so good about this piece of trash, in ever-“

Hearing her possession get called trash by someone was the final straw and she shut him up by emitting a pressure so strong that the boy could not move an inch. This scared everyone in the cafeteria, and then the temperature in entire room was rising at an alarming rate. 

This was until Hironori who was shaking in rage gently pat Rose’s head and said “Don’t waste your time on people like this, they aren’t worth the effort.”

Hironori’s attitude was one that was generally very calm and polite. He could put up with a lot and still be fine, however being called trash, while being completely ignored was past the line.

As Hironori continued to pat her she released the pressure and lowered the temperature. She glared at the boy who was still present and while grinding her teeth said, “ Why are you still here, leave!”

The people present looked at the two in a completely new light, and made anyone who had thoughts of approaching the two forget about it completely. 

When their meals arrived thanks to Rose’s quick lesson at least he was not embarrassing himself, and Rose was elegantly eating. The two were not interrupted again after Rose’s display, that is until a person with distinctive bright red hair causally approached the two, causing the rest that were present get ready to be able to leave immediately if necessary. 

When she walked up she said, “May I sit with you Hiro, and Asmodeus-sama.”

While Rose was enjoying someone respecting her, Hiro ruined it by saying “Only if you stop calling her Asmodeus-sama and call her Rose like I do.”

“I could never do that, she is a legendary demon. What would I do if I upset her?” her said with clear worry in her voice.

“Don’t worry about it, if anything it will help us out by making it feel less formal, isn’t that right Rose?” he looked over to see rose looking slightly disappointed but said “Do what you want.”

Looking nervous she said “Very well” and sat down across from the two and she pulled out a paper and handed to Hironori saying, “Here is your schedule. Since we have multiple classes together, you can just follow me to the classrooms, all of the morning, and some of the afternoon. 

The schedule read as follows: study of fire magic 8:00 – 9:30, study of runes 9:45 – 11:15, lunch 11:15 – 12:15, group battle practice 12:30 – 2:00, single close combat 2:15 – 3:45, and weapon practice 4:00 – 5:30. This was his schedule for Monday through Friday, except Wednesday, which was a day off for the people who still wanted to learn normal curriculum, although it was not mandatory. On the paper it was also written that an etiquette teacher would teach him on Wednesdays from three to four.

As Rose saw this she grew excited and asked Hironori “Since tomorrow is Wednesday, can we go shopping. Please.”

Hironori really is too soft because as soon as he saw her begging he said yes. After eating breakfast they left to the first class of the day, and as he was following Andrea he was nervous for two reasons, the first is that this was a new experience for him, he had never studied magic. The other reason was that he could not stop thinking about what Rose had said to him last night.

Seeing that Hironori was nervous Rose smiled and said "Don’t worry your soul was strong enough to make even me take interest, combine that with the fact that you contracted with me learning fire magic will be amazingly easy." 

Hironori was confused, and asked “What do you mean?”

"The more powerful the soul, the easier it is to learn magic, also when someone contracts with a demon, the element the demon controls is strengthened proportionately to how strong the demon is at it. So with me being the demon, learning fire magic will be so easy, you’ll feel that it is simply unfair. Plus if there is something you don’t understand you have me to ask.”

Hearing this Andrea also gave her input “ All that she said is true, just so you know. I have an S rank fire demon and I have always been the best in the class when it comes to fire magic.”

Hironori was shocked to hear that and asked “You have a S rank demon? I thought that they were exceedingly rare.”

Andrea answered “ No, that is only for SS and SSS rank demon, while S rank ones are still rare they pop up relatively often, with some luck.”

While conversing with the two he felt far less nervous then before, and they made their way to the room and walked in. 

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

When he did he saw about thirty students similar to his age all stop talking when his group walked in, because they had never seen him before, and it was rare for someone to join midway through the year, also the saw rose and were speechless.

Then a slender, middle aged man in glasses that was at his desk walked over to the group and said in a strong, reliable voice “Hello you must be Isa Hironori, it is truly a pleasure to meet you, you can call me Higashi-sensei .” Then when he saw Rose he bowed, which caused all the students, except Andrea gasp, and he said in a quite voice that only the group could hear “ It is my pleasure to be able to meet you, Asmodeus-sama.”

Then walked to the middle to the room and in a loud, booming voice so that everyone could clearly hear him “This is a new student whose name is Isa Hironori, and this young lady next to him is actually his Contracted demon-” Just this caused many gasps because one needed to be at least S rank to be able to stay outside of the contractors body for an extended period of time. He then looked at the two he introduced “Is it okay to say who she is Hiornori?” “I don’t mind that much, what about you Rose?” “it’s fine I suppose.”

“After having gained their permission I will tell you his demons name, but remember to try to stay calm. Her name is Asmodeus!” After hearing this many of the originally surprised students, actually paled in shock, and then everyone tried to talked all at one, causing quite a ruckus. 

“QUIET!” Higashi-sensei shouted and said “That being said they are both students in this class, so don’t treat them any differently then anyone else.”

The two actually got a seat near Andrea, as she was the only one that he knew. For the sake of Hironori, and the other students that were lagging behind they held a review class. What Hironori learned from it was that magic is, basically explained, as organizing energy of elements into a desired formed. While this may sound easy, the truth is that it tends to be incredibly difficult because if ones soul was not strong enough the could not effectively control the energy. Also as the spells get stronger, not only do they get more complicated, they also require more energy, and this is dependent on one innate ability, and while the amount that can be stored, they can slowly build up the speed at which it is absorbed. 

Also, fire magic is the absolute strongest in power, while water is more of an all rounder element, it can heal minor injuries, is semi-durable, and has good offensive abilities. However, since it  is a jack of all trades, it is not particularly strong in any of the qualities. Earth, while having semi-powerful attacks, is focused on defense. Also, there is wind. Wind users are exceedingly fast, but their defenses tend to be as weak as paper, but their attacks while not being the strongest, are terrifying when coupled with such speed. There are also two exceedingly rare and powerful elements, metal and lightning. Metal can have power that comes close to rivaling fire, and has defense that is close to earth, while lightning has speed like wind and attacks slightly stronger then earths. There is also a type that is so rare that there is only one in the entire academy, that is a spirit type. Their demon allows them to temporarily summon other demons that will fight for them. The only drawback is that the demon’s strength is proportionate to the strength of the summoner.

Higashi-sensei  was quite nice as after he taught the simplest fire spells fireball, and fire bolt, he had Andrea take him to the practice field. When they arrived, and Hironori was confused on how he was supposed to control the elements Andrea said to just try imagining the classic image of a fireball and say “fireball”. Rose added “Don’t think too hard about it and just follow your instinct.”

Taking their advice he close his eyes and imagined a ball slightly larger than a basketball, and it was fiery, and red hot. Its goal was just pure destruction. 

Then he simply said “fireball” while holding out his hand. Then it happened a ball just as he imagined came flying out of nowhere and when it hit the log that was to be used as a dummy there was a huge explosion, and, while not effected by the immense heat or light, he was actually temporarily deafened by the explosion. 

He turned around to ask why it was so strong even though it was the simplest fire spell and he saw that Rose was laughing her head off and Andrea was just standing there slack-jawed in shock. He decided that Andrea would not recover anytime soon, and asked Rose. When she finally stopped laughing she answered “ You have a soul that is strong enough to attract me, and you chanted a spell without any regard to the amount of energy that was put into it. You turned a rank D spell into about a mid rank B spell!” 

He glared at her “Did you know that this would happen when you told me to just listen to my instincts?”

Rose started to giggle “While not certain, I had a good hunch, and you performed above my expectations.”

He swiftly hit her head to teach her a lesson and went over to Andrea while Rose was rubbing her head. “I am sorry, I did not realize that it would be so powerful, I did not break anything did I?”

Hearing this she panicked and said quickly “Its not your fault, I overlooked the fact  that your soul would be naturally powerful, that was close though, Endo-sensei set up this arena with the idea that only at most B ranked spells would be used, you nearly broke it.”

After that incident they left to a higher ranked one that allows up to S rank spells. For the next half an hour Hironori practiced until he had a good idea on how to control the energy he put in. 

Then they had walked to the runes building, where Hironori felt far less nervous because he knew the teacher, and was quite excited for the subject of runes because they were so mysterious. 

When they walked in a  familiar scene appeared, a sea of faces all either curious, or shocked by Rose. the only change was that Nao was far more casual, and just said “I’m glad to see that you got my letter Hironori. By the way if you want to, you can still call me Nao in class.”

He thought to himself “Yep, still no way I can see this man as a teacher.” And said “Thank you Nao. By the way, shouldn’t you do something about you class.”

Nao looked at them and actually sighed to himself, and muttered “What a pain” after an introduction was made he was told that Hironori and Rose could sit where ever they like, so they chose a pair of desks in an inconspicuous back corner of the room. 

After the class Hironori learned that runes are strange, ancient symbols that were made by a long lost civilization, and they were simply words that were injected with energy. 

He also learned that runes can do a magnitude of things, such as the summoning ceremony, they can create barriers, and one could even create traps that would activate when the user set it off, or a condition is met. 

This class was very fun, but after lunch was the time that Hironori dreaded the most, it was filled with battle practice, and he doubted that he would survive. But before then was lunch with Rose, and Andrea.
