Looking at that devilish smile, she couldn't help but shake her head.
'I feel sorry for this kid, I feel much more sorry for those arrogant noble kids who always thought themselves the top of the chain.'
"Ok, I hear you, I await the show that's going to come out of this. But… bare in mind. I won't be babysitting this Kid, his problems are his own to deal with"
"I would very much appreciate that"
He walked to her and gave her a handshake.
'Well, maybe people do change, this wasn't hard as I expected'
"Ow just for this, you gonna have to pay with 1 thousand Energy Quads, of varying kinds of course. Don't cheap out on Clear ones, make it 400 hundred of those and the rest you can figure out yourself"
Quickly that devilish smile went along with Cassandra's projection turning to smoke.
"Damn it!, she hasn't changed a bit, she just might be even worse"
Bang!!
The innocent table was met with an unmerciful fist, turning it into sawdust. He went back to sitting down. The once broken desk reverted back to its proper self.
Bahahahaha
A laughter filled the room. Sebastien walked in at that moment to see his Boss laughing senselessly.
"I take it all went in order"
The laugh stopped suddenly. Satan's eyes looking at the person posing the question. A mouth full of white teeth, fangs and all presented itself.
"Ow, it went well alright."

A week went by.
During this week Mike came across a fascinating discovery. Apparently his soul strength is abnormal. One has to train it for at least two hundred years to be able to spiritually sense things that are happening in a 2 km radius.
Unfortunately he only knew how to use spiritual sense only, there was much he could do with it. Conjuring, Telekenensis, Phycological attacks, Illutions. And if he were to truly take on a class specialised in it he might become a warlock on par with Gods.
Unfortunately he was more fascinated in the idea of being an all-rounder.
"Kid, haven't you heard of Jack of all trade?"
"Good thing I'm Mike. A path curved by my interest shall be the one which will propel me higher than anyone."
Listening to Mike speak, Satan just kept quiet, there's a reason the Kid has such a frightening Soul, his body has been reinforced by the Ignia System, not forgetting his body was really frightening to begin with.
During the past week, in order to get Mike prepped and ready for the Academy, he did an extensive body scan, trying to see where Mike could focus his journey to Power. He didn't find him lacking.
His bloodline, His Body and Muscle strength, His Soul strength. Mental comprehension speed. Take any one of these and give them to a random kid on the street and you will have an elite who will have his name spoken in many worlds.
Apparently while protecting him, The chaos energy from the rebirth Dimension was stuck in his body. Still fighting the energy the God had attacked him with. The chaos energy was feeding itself from Mike's vitality to keep the foreign energy at bay but at the expense of his health and losing some senses.
Funny thing is, even had Mike went on and swore his allegiance to one of the Gods. None of them had any strength or power to fight off the energy. Not that the Gods are powerful enough.
But this energy is foreign to any of the current dimensions, and it is quite volatile and ever changing to any new attack.
As for how the Contract saved him. Even Satan himself doesn't know. Though he suspects that Mike's body has familiarised itself to it. That's how he could use chaos energy now. Resulting in the Energy attack being overwhelmed since Mike is chaos now, not an energy foreign to him.
"I can't argue with that, I suspect that you might soar higher than everyone despite your interest in an all rounder approach.
Sebastian walked in.
"The Carradge is ready Young Master"
Today was finally the day he would live his life like a normal kid. Of course by normal I mean a trained nuke ready to be unleashed on heaven and let chaos rule. But let's not think about that now.
"Coming!"
A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"Ahem Mike, you will be met with some challenges, more so than normal. You come from the house of the Sovereign of the Underworld so you could be seen as an heir of Hell. Ahem.. I mean the Underworld. I have entities looking to bring me down, and right now you look like a fresh meat off the shelf…."
Mike stared at him in the eyes waiting to continue.
"That is all"
"..."
That's what Satan finished with.
"Wait, are you going to do anything?"
"Kid where you are going will be met with far more dangers known to reality. If you can't handle this lousy few, I'll really start to suspect your worth."
It then dawn to Mike, his training has already begun, and it won't be on classes only. His mindset changed there and then, started to look at the world anew.
'Time to put my naivety to the side and walk into the ring'
He walked towards Sebastian, passing him as he stood on the side, not once had he looked back. Sebastian looked at Satan before he followed behind.
"Now that he is gone to meet a new world, what will you be doing as the Mother of an Annihilator"
Satan spoke, not even looking back. Behind him the door opened. Nannia walked in. Worry on her face and a bit timid. She is still not used to being near Satan. Even if she was under the same roof for an entire week.
"What can I do? What exactly is my role in all of this?"
This time around Satan turned his head and looked back at her.
"That's for you to find out. If you find something fascinating you could always find me."
He raised his hand, and a portal opened. On the other side was a library of books.
"But I can't have you choose while you still wear that ignorant mind of yours. Why don't you spend some time and reacquaint yourself with knowledge… True knowledge"
Suddenly her timid nature was replaced by a look of fascination. Clearly she was curious yet to find her passion. Without even giving it a thought she walked through the portal.
"Fascinating, Can't wait to see what you choose Nannia, It sure will be great fun"
Suddenly he blinked out of existence leaving the places screaming with silence.

Throughout this week Mike has been nervous. Meeting new people. Finally being part of society and participating in conversations. Things he only viewed others do. But was always a constant spectator.
This was even worse, the scales have been put a bit higher. He will be within the noble, the powerful, the influential and to top it off, he will be an heir of this entire domain.
But that is different now. That nervousness evaporated into the thin air, leaving only confidence that borders into the realm of arrogance.
"Young Master, you sure have changed compared to how you were this entire week. Has something changed"
Mike and Sebanstian's bond has strengthened this week. Mike had used the Item in his inventory Skill Book: Basic martial Combat. The moment he sent the intent to use it, the book just evaporated and he felt the knowledge get downloaded into his brain.
To get his body and muscle used to the Skill, Sebastian was his sparing partner. He was surprisingly skilled for a butler and a man of his age. His movements were youthful and vibrant.
At times you'd forget that you are fighting an old looking man. Mike's body was surprisingly adaptive. And his mind was quick on the uptake. Making him get into the amateur stage in only 2 days. Something that took other months to master.
"Well what Satan said before I left changed how I view my situation. It even overturned my world view"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"Ow, what did you take from it?"
"Well for one, I was thinking of the role I am about to play in this new world, fearing that if I were to fail I might be viewed differently. It even had me thinking that If I failed to make a great first impression, how will i face those more powerful"
Then he looked at Sebastian
"But then again, I thought, why am I trying to bend myself for a world I have yet to know. And what if I fail. My aim is far higher than these few chess pawns. My aim should be the queen and not the lazy King and his minions"
"That's a fascinating world view. But aren't you supposed to be focused on defeating the King and not the queen"
He looked forward and smirked.
"You'd think that, But even the king bows to his queen"
