Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Cmon, Lady Emily! Use your sides!"
General Pride, Lucy, was currently training with Emily as they collided training swords.
"Arghh! This is impossible!"
Emily was clearly getting more frustrated as each attempt to attack was cleanly and perfectly blocked.
In the three weeks they were living in the demon teritory 'Arstasta' in relative peace.
"Alright! Let's rest for now."
Lucy, after parrying her sword out of her hands, stuck the sword onto the ground as he sat down at a nearby seat.
"Ahhh~"
A relaxed sigh escaped his mouth, as if what they were doing was not even considered a workout for him.
"Tch... system."
Checking her system after a click of the tounge, Emily was slightly shocked after looking at her new status.

"...wow."
The first thing she let out after seeing that she had new skills and leveled up seven times. She also gained new skills that she didn't even notice at first due to always being focused on training.
She decided that todays training was enough so, sitting down on the side of the small arena baseplate, she relaxed.
"Hm? Ah, okay... Student! I will be off for a bit! Begin with the usual warm up!"
Seems like Lucy got called to do something as he stood up and began to leave, obviously, Emily groaned as she stood up.
Why? Its just a warm up... if it wasn't almost impossible.
So, leaving Emily to her training, Lucy headed inside.
Passing the servants and soldiers, he walked through the winding corridors until he reached the meeting room.
Opening the grand door, he entered with the usual cheerfulness he always had.
"You're late."
Emorol, General Wrath, spoke up as he sorted piles of paperwork on his side of the roundtable.
"Em! Get that paper of my side!"
Harol, General Envy, yelled as he moved the papar off his side.
Sitting on the other side of Emorol was Ozy, General Gluttony, who was covering his ears from the yells.
"Zzz~"
Sleeping peacefully, Melan, General Lust, was on the opposite side of the three while she drooled.
"Is Sloth not coming?"
The Demon Lord, Oroceli Petagree, sat at the front of the roundtable, facing the door.
"Ah, no, My lord."
Lucy, sat at the chair he usually sat, between Melan and... oh right! Sitting there patiently was the new one! Marcen, General Greed, was looking at the Demon Lord.
"Is this all who will participate?"
"Yes, My lord! Behi is currently lethargic!"
An audible sigh could be heard coming from the demon lord.
"Let's start either way."
Soon began the meeting of the Generals.
"I have reports say that the Alliance has disbanded ever since the Holy Empire's fall. They do blame us."
Everyone began to listen when Wrath began to speak, reporting new information.
"Well is there any status on refugee's coming to our teritory?"
Envy's simple question made Wrath rifle through the paperwork before answering confidentaly.
"Yes, many of different species has arrived in our borders, by the orders given, we have given them suitable land for them to live and settle."
"Good work Wrath."
Hearing the demon lord's praise, he bowed his head respectfully.
"Anyways."
Gluttony interrupted before reporting his own job.
"Food has never been higher, with new working hands coming from the refugee's, everyone has been helping and making the food economy thrive. We even have enough to feed everyone for four winters!"
The wonderful news made the atmosphere in the room light and bright.
"That is truly wonderful, how is everything going on your side, Lust?"
"Zzz- huh? Oh, yeah... yawn~"
Slowly waking up, Lust stretched while leaning on her chair.
"Not good... multiple accounts of the Fallen Hero rampaging through multiple countries, the Fallen virus, as the civilians say, spreads with each of the fallen Hero's swings of the blades... he nears our borders."
Nodding her head, The Demon Lord, looked at Lucy before noding her head for him to start.
"Ah! Yes! My turn! Well, our soldiers have had low morale ever since i started training Greed's sister but she brightened everyone's mood! Morale has never been high, our soldiers train harder than ever and everything is going fine!"
"And you aren't disappearing half the time?"
Obviously, the demon lord called out on Lucy's constant absences while he was meant to be on duty training the new soldiers.
"O-oh, that? H-haha! Ofcourse, My Lord, I truly stopped that old habit of mine!"
The demon lord only nodded.
"If you say so..."
Tired of looking at Lucy, she drifted her gaze towards Envy.
"Building and construction on new living spaces are running smoothly, the charity does need funding however but it is only a platinum more."
A quick and simple report was laid out, not needing to drag it out.
And finally, Greed.
"Well, Marcen. What would you like to report, since we don't have a specific job for you since the title 'General Greed' has been so vacant for such a long time. Any report would do."
Nodding, Greed thought for a moment before speaking.
"There is no Fallen virus."
Everyone looked at him like he was a headless Cukaloo, except for Lucy ofcourse,
"Then what might be causing the current situation then!"
Emorol, General pride, confusedly yelled out, pointing towards Greed.
"A Corruption."
A simple answer that led nowhere caused Wrath to almost lose his cool.
"Simply put. The Corruption is caused by something more unnatural."
"That makes things worse."
This time Lust spoke up as she was more awake than before.
"This could be a serious issue if it is considered 'Unnatural', Greed."
She looked more awake than ever, actually.
