"Well, that's about it with the history class, now i have to ask, do you have pact making?"

"Yes, fortunately i do."

"You don't know how true that is, if you didn't have it the only thing you could do is subordinate yourself to someone who does."

"Why is that?"

"Tell me, have you done a pact yet?"

"Yeah, just before entering, why?"

"Then this will be much simpler, how did you make the pact? I'm guessing you said something and then the construct appeared to tell you it was done and it was probably filled with extra bits of information or aclarations right?"

"Yes... so?"

"Have you seen how i did it?"

"Wha... oh, you didn't say it all, it just appeared how you wanted it."

"That's right, a pact is more than a simple agreement between two parties, it is a bond between souls, and as such it can happen as you want it without external requirements as long as you have focus and the know how of what you want and how to do it, but that also means that if you don't have experience, it isn't hard to commit a fatal mistake, and that is exactly what pact making does, it prevents fatal mistakes from happening because of a lack of experience, it fills in the ambiguity with objective terms while keeping to the pact maker's original intentions, but, if that was all, more powerful beings wouldn't really need it. No, the most important aspect of pact making for hell is this."

"ATTACK!!"

"GYAAAAAAHAAAAAHHAHAHA!!"

Suddenly i find myself in a cave surrounded by around a dozen imps that are charging against a group of five or so people in medieval-looking leather armor. After standing still for a moment i am kicked to the ground from behind.

" ******* **** ** *** ****!!! ATTACK THEM!"

OBEY THE SUMMONER OR PACT WILL BE TERMINATED.

That doesn't sound good.

I jump to my feet and run for the group already engaged with the other imps. There are two at the front holding the imps back with shields and two behind them attacking when they can, meanwhile the one at the back seems to be trying to hold against the bolts of violet energy that the one that kicked me is hurtling at them with some kind of light shield.

Okay, a battlelfield, an order, i can do that. Cave's too small to flank'em so...

As i near them i lower my head and tense, when i am about to collide with one retreating imp at the front i push him towards the one without shield that was attacking it, the unexpected full on collision startles him and he tumbles, i use that moment to pass the line of defenders and run for the one in the back.

" ***! ** ** ****!"

As he tries to hit me with his mace in a horizontal swing i roll below the blow and end up between his legs.

Now!

" AAAAAAAHGGHAGGHAHH!!! ***! HAAAAaaaaahhhggggghhh...."

Bullseye.
