"Hmm, i see you retain your form, good work surviving your first, now focus, think about your possesions, your account and identity."

"C... can i get a second first?"

"Oh, of course. You are not yet accustomed to materializing and dematerializing so quickly. Take your time."

"Wait, what? What does that mean?"

"It's nothing of importance, now focus on yourself using pact making as an extension to your thoughts."

"Aaallright..."

#Last#ACCOUNT 12 DUST (10+2(1SUMMONING PACT COMPLETION+1 EXTRA 'i kept my word'))

 "..."

"So? How is it?"

"Two? Only two dust for all that?"

"Hm? Two? You've been lucky then, imps with your soul strenght usually get no more than one per summoning, thought i shouldn't be surprised that a newbie champion has managed to exceed expectations. Very well, i think that covers what was pacted, i'm in a good mood thought so i won't chase you out, in fact you may get an extra question answered if it amuses me, so, anything else?"

"How... how many times is an imp summoned per cycle?"

"On average? One, two if they are lucky."

"Alright then... Last question?"

"Heh, good one, alright, fire away."

"What faction are you on?"

"Guess."

"Well... you're supposed to be a teacher and i can't see that as stressless so i'm gonna rule out wrath..."

"Hmhm."

"You knew how much i gained from the pit and didn't charge me everything i had so not greed, and i have no clue how lust would work in a body with no genitalia and made from our soul so... you didn't stike me as particularly lazy either so sloth's out."

"Good so far."

"Aaaand i haven't really had a way to check gluttony or envy yet but by the hidden amusement and curiosity in your eyes i'm gonna say pride. Is it the neutral faction then?"

"Ding, ding, ding. I didn't expect to be so transparent but yes i am of pride, the 'neutral' faction. How did you know? And don't give me bullshit, i am not as dumb to not recognise you knew even before asking."

"Well, i have dealt with many that sinned of the same before."

"Interesting, now let me guess, you say that you have dealt with many who sinned of pride..."

"I did, yes."

"One of those sinners wouldn't be, by any chance, one you saw every time you looked in the mirror, would it?

"It seems i am the transparent one but, if you don't mind me asking, how?"

"The prize."

"Sorry?"

"The prize, and subsequent offer, are there to gauge the allegiances of the new champions, every single champion will be drawn towards the path that represents them more, except those without sin, heh, a rare breed. In the case of those prideful, they are either foolish enough to think they can hold on to the prize or smart enough to know to spend it, and frankly, i have yet to meet one of us that chose from the generic options. Of course it isn't as if there aren't those from other paths that initially choose pact making but you haven't really made it all that difficult to find out."

"Alright. Sooo... what now then?"

"You are of Pride so, now i offer you entrance to our little faction, you reject it, and try to make a living for youself for some time until you either take off on your own or come back defeated for some backing."

"Alright... i accept."

"What?"

"I accept your invitation."

"But... why?"

"Well, i really, really hate prejudices."
