The party was still ongoing!
Young Devil nobles formed small circles, which to some extent represented the intricate web of relationships behind their families.
Virion's entrance indeed caused a significant stir, but it didn't lead to a complete silence throughout the hall.
After initially greeting the heirs of many pure-blooded Devil families, the other Devils returned to their positions.
After all, everyone knew that the protagonist of today's banquet was not Virion, but the young lady of the Gremory—Rias Gremory!
Even if those Devils were eager to befriend Virion, now was not the best time; it was already good enough to just meet and get to know each other.
"Let's chat again when there's a chance!"
After politely declining the enthusiastic 'invitations' of several Devil noblewomen, Virion sighed helplessly.
The male Devils had indeed restrained themselves quite a bit, but these female Devils were much more enthusiastic.
After getting to know each other, these Devil noblewomen surrounded him, sending him flirtatious glances and expressions.
He felt that if he didn't refuse, it would be no exaggeration!
After tonight's banquet, he could quickly achieve the feat of having a different bride every night.
But, unfortunately!
He had no interest whatsoever in picking up used goods or being cuckolded; the multiple male scents he detected from those women already made him feel a bit nauseous.
Indeed, Devils are creatures who follow their desires and can indulge them at any time.
He had indeed lived as a Devil for nearly thirty years, but that didn't mean he would be in sync with this group of Devils in this regard.
If it were the young lady from the Phoenix who had just come to greet him, who was also one of the male protagonist's harem members in the original work.
If she had approached him, he wouldn't mind taking her into his room.
After all, that unique virgin scent could truly be said to be one of a kind at this banquet.
Unfortunately, the young lady named Ravel only came over, blushed as she greeted him, and then retreated with a flushed face.
"Should I find time to get in touch with her later?"
Sipping red wine in small sips, Virion's thoughts were also diverging.
Virion was currently at the peak of an Ultimate-class Devil, just one step away from the Satan Class level.
Although Grayfia was very strict with Virion verbally, she was actually very satisfied with Virion's progress.
As for this last step, Grayfia also knew that it was something that could not be rushed.
Haven't you seen how many pure-blooded Devil family heads can only get stuck at the Ultimate-class Devil level, unable to advance an inch for their entire lives?
Whether one can cross this step is not something that can only be achieved through pure cultivation; what is needed more is enlightenment.
Grayfia also slightly relaxed her control over Virion because of this.
Therefore, before embarking on a journey to other worlds, he was still very interested in finding a Devil young lady to indulge his desires.
Don't look at his aversion to interacting with those promiscuous Devil young ladies; in reality, as a Devil, he was already thirty years old and it was impossible for him to still be a virgin.
Those battle maids in his home were not just for cleaning his house and guarding the castle; 'serving' their master was also one of their essential courses.
Just as Virion's thoughts were wandering and he was sipping red wine.
The previously somewhat noisy environment suddenly became quiet.
That was because the protagonist of today's banquet had already appeared in the hall.
A man with shoulder-length red hair, exuding an unfathomable aura, gradually walked onto the platform.
Following him was Rias, who had just been tidying her hair in the room.
Rias was the younger sister of Satan Class Lucifer.
Plus, the man also possessed the red hair characteristic of the Gremory.
So, the answer was already obvious.
The man who was now standing on the platform was the current Satan Class—Sirzechs Lucifer.
Clang—!
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly lit up beside Virion and began to spin.
The Devils who had been surrounding Virion also retreated a step.
Emitting an equally unfathomable aura, with beautiful silver hair tied into a braid, and exuding a cold, capable presence.
The strongest female Devil in the entire Underworld, Gurefia Asmodeus, appeared!
The silver-haired female Satan Class surveyed the surrounding Devils with an ice-cold expression.
Some Devils who met her gaze lowered their heads in fear, while others showed expressions of admiration and longing.
"Sister, why do you have time to come today?"
As if by magic, at some unknown moment, another glass of red wine appeared in Virion's hand.
He handed the red wine to Grayfia and asked somewhat strangely.
As mentioned before, Grayfia was responsible for the military coordination of the entire Underworld, and her usual work could be said to be as busy as a mountain.
Attending a banquet for juniors like this would normally never be on Grayfia's schedule.
"Just some leisure time, and also giving Sazex some face."
As Grayfia spoke softly with Virion, she also nodded to Sazex, who was standing on the platform, at the same time.
The Satan Class on the stage, Sazex, smiled as if bathed in spring breeze!
Rias, standing quietly beside Sazex, also could not hide the excited expression on her face.
For her, nothing was more surprising and delightful than Grayfia attending her debut ceremony.
One must know that Grayfia was almost every female Devil's idol in the entire Underworld.
The dignified and alluring female Satan Class, even Rias was no exception.
"Welcome everyone to my sister's Rating Game debut ceremony..."
Sazex's speech on stage was not long, and soon it came to the final segment.
Rating Game!
The so-called "Rating Game" is based on the system of Devil chess pieces reincarnating into peerage Devils.
The organizers set various rules and restrictions, allowing young Devils to compete in a relatively safe environment.
Then, based on their performance in the competition, if they received high evaluations, their status as a Devil could be elevated.
Reincarnated Devils could potentially gain peerages, be promoted to nobles, and join the ranks of High-Class Devils or even Ultimate-class Devils through outstanding performance in Rating Games.
Even for descendants of pure-blooded Devil nobles, many new Devils would gain increasingly higher status among the nobility if they performed exceptionally well and received high evaluations in the "Rating Game."
Therefore, for Devils today, the "Rating Game" is truly an important event, comparable to the human world's college entrance examination, capable of changing one's destiny.
Having developed to its current state, every pure-blooded Devil would begin their "Rating Game" journey after reaching adulthood.
