Chapter 10: Temporarily 'Known'

"Well this feels weird..."

Vincent is currently in the demoness body he created for his soul fragment (Irene). This is the first time his main consciousness ever inhabited a female body.

"Now you know what I felt when your horny ass created this sexy body for your soul fragment to inhabit. I bet you just want to turn yourself into your wife, what a fucking narcissist."

He felt speechless when he heard Irene saying these. Irene is currently inhabiting a bracelet.

"I do admit that some of those are correct but I didn't make it female for you to be my wife. It's just that the more we have in difference, the more Unknown won't affect you and you can earn RP for me."

Irene rolled her eyes inside the bracelet as if not believing this guy. She knows him more than anyone else, she's his soul fragment duh. Although the reason he said was part of it, she was sure it was what she thought.

Vincent just ignored her and took a deep breath of air. Then he picked a nether blood rose and smelled it in his hands. He then looked at the demons staring at him, no, at Irene.

"It has been such a long time since I've been 'known'. What a feeling."

"But you can't use UNKNOWN today because of the pendant though. This decreased our combat ability."

"Do I need that curse for me to show the prowess of my imagination?"

Vincent replied to Irene as he looked at the pendant on his neck.

[ || Fragment of Fantasy Slayer || Rule Negation — This item can weaken any one fantastical/ideological powers, abilities, skills or curse of the user. This item can only be used once and will only last for 12 hours. ]

"Can't you just use the main body? Why would you use mine?"

"Because I can't put myself to risk. And also... I can't afford to be exposed. Who would have known that the perfume Iruma used to hide his human scent is a rare item. That old geezer used it so casually in the manga."

From what he gathered while snooping around places with Unknown, he didn't find anything similar to what Sullivan used on Iruma. This made him think that it may have been imported from other regions or made by Sullivan himself. And one other reason was...

He looked down and saw that his boobs covered his view of his feet. Then he fondled his breasts casually as he nodded to himself.

"It's just the right size. As expected of me."

"Stop fondling your boobs! You're right in front of so many demons!"

"They're demons, they won't notice it weird and just attribute it to me being seductive."

"At least don't do it on my body!"

"Don't you mean 'our'?"

Vincent smirked to tease Irene but he stopped and went on his way to Abnormal Class' room.

Vincent then thought about some things. A long time has passed that Irene now treats herself as an individual. Someone born of his soul but a separate individual. This made fusing back... awkward when the time comes as Irene might resist.

But the thing is the problem of his soul losing a quarter of it. If he doesn't fuse back with her someday, it may affect him in the long run. Thinking about this made his head ache and he decided to leave this problem to future him.

"I shouldn't be thinking about this, I should be having fun."

"Thinking about what?"

Vincent shook his head and said, "Nothing. Also we're here."

He smirked with his heart burning in excitement knowing what would happen as soon as he opens the door and walk in.

"Let's have a fun time today."

Inside the room, young demons were betting among each other and laughing as they talked.

"Hey, hey! As expected of honor student Iruma, not even a single one hit! I won jackpot wohooo!"

"Man, you won it all Leed. Here's your win."

Iruma looked at them and asked with a trembling voice, "What?"

Asmodeus Alice then stepped in and asked them with an angry bellow, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

They just laughed and flippantly explained to them that they were playing pranks on the demons coming in the classroom. They also bet on how many weapons would hit them.

"One even took full damage! Bahahaha!"

"Th-then we must apologize to the—"

"RIDICULOUS! Dodging is an act of cowardice! I, Sabnock Sablo, is the most suitable for the position of Demon King!"

Sabnock then appeared with innumerable weapons embedded on his body with swords and knives poking out. He then looked at Iruma then declared.

"Listen honor student, I will Yod and the Demon King! Soon you will have to kneel to me!"

"H-Huh?"

"To get that position I have to be promoted. And whoever gets in my way... will be crushed in my hands."

As he said this, he pulled out a sword from his left arm and crushed the sword's blade with his bare hands.

"Enough! You can stop, Sabnock."

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Asmodeus?"

"So what if I am?"

"You ranked first in the exam and your familiar is a gorgon snake! But I have a kelpie and it has more legs than yours so it's stronger! Ah... forget it. You lost your right to be my rival since you became that honor student's servant."

Asmodeus frowned and corrected him, "I'm not his slave! I'm his friend!"

"Ah? Friend?"

Sabnock showed a confused face as he stared at Asmodeus waiting for an answer. Meanwhile, Asmodeus showed a smug smirk as he explained.

"You don't know? Then let me explain."

"A friend is a person who is always by your side, who shares your sorrows and mirth. FOR IRUMA-SAMA I HAVE ACCEPTED A GREAT INDENTURE AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WITH MY LIFE! THAT'S HOW WE ADAPT TO ALL CIRCUMSTANCES!"

Sabnock looked at Asmodeus who was speaking with such pride and couldn't help but show a contemptuous face as if asking what's great about it for him to speak about it with such pride.

"Hey! Listen to me! I haven't finished talking yet!"

"I think that's not what a friend is, it's not that exaggerated Asmodeus-kun."

"Yes that's righ— eh?"

Iruma nodded his head subconsciously but realized that the sound seemingly came from outside. This made him realize that others probably trapped it again making his face turn dark.

"Wait don't enter!"

"Iruma! Don't be such a killjoy" "Yes!!!" "My bets!"

He then looked at the door and saw a cool looking demon wearing a fitted polo with a jacket tied up on her waist and jeans. She also wore glasses whilst wearing a smirk on her lips.

She then walked forward and activated the trap much to Iruma's surprise as she didn't listen to him. At this point he just hoped that she won't be hurt. But what happened next made their jaws drop.

"FUCK YEAH!" "That's so badass!" "Fuwawawawawa-!" "How?!"
