Iruma was dreading going back to school. He wanted to die. Or avoid it anyways.
"You don't have to worry Iruma! If he bullies you just tell grandpa, okay?"
"Y-Yeah.. I'll see you later." He waved goodbye before starting to walk to school. He had been offered the carriage but prefered to not stand out. He saw asmodeus was looking for something, probably himself. He gulped as he walked forward into his line of sight.
"You're here!" Unexpectedly he bowed down in front of Iruma.
"Master Iruma, I am at your service."
....
"What."
"You beat me yesterday so I will now be your sworn servant for life!"
"You don't have to do that!!"
"Of course I do! It's only fair."
"Y-You can stand back up.. People are staring.."
"Yes, of course master Iruma." He stood up and brushed the dirt off himself.
"Would you like me to carry your belongings to the summoning ceremony?"
"No, I'm good.. thanks" He felt a little better about this since this was a subject new to all of his classmates, so he wasn't far behind. He recognised the teacher instructing them as the grumpy guy from yesterday. He was holding a stack of square papers in his hand.
"Silence. Alright students. You will be using these to summon your familiars. You shall put a drop of your blood on it before burning it in the black candle." He pointed to a tall candle stick in the middle of a circle.
"Aburami Michiru." He began to call students that stepped up and performed their ritual.
"Asmodeus Alice." Asmodeus popped up and stepped forward. He quickly slit his thumb and pressed the blood to the paper before burning it. a purple smoke seemed to flow around him as a gorgon snake slithered out of the clouds. Many of the students looked in aw for having such a high ranking familiar. He returned back to Iruma while the next student went up.
"Wow Az! that's so cool!"
"A-Az?" He asked confused.
"Ah! Sorry, it's just a little nickname since yours is so long.."
"A nickname from master Iruma! I love it! Thank you!" He beamed happily.
"I can't wait to see which familiar you get, I'm sure it will be amazing!"
"haha.. lets not get our hopes up too high.."
"Suzuki Iruma."
"Oh that's me! See you Az!" He stepped up a little nervous but excited as he grabbed a paper with a symbol on it. He slit his thumb similarly to Asmodeus but flinched when he did. He then walked forward and set it ablaze in the candle. A vortex opened like with many others and a dark shadowy figure came out.
A caw rang through his ears as beautiful feathered wings spread out. A pitch black bird flew onto his shoulder with ruby beaded eyes.
"A common crow. next. Tachibana Takako" Iruma walked back to asmodeus with his bird holding itself majestically.
"That teacher.. No familiar of my masters is simply common!" The bird seemed to coo in agreement.
"I don't mind, I think he looks pretty cool!"
*ahem*
They turned to see a small owly demon.
"This is actually a lovely lady mind you."
"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Iruma apologised but she didn't seem to mind.
"Who are you and what do you want." Asmodeus snarled at him just like when he first met Iruma.
"My name is Kamui Caim, and thanks to my bloodline ability I can talk to this beautiful young lady." The bird hid her beak behind it's wing as if it were flattered.
"Yes, I heard you're also known for harassing girls." Kamui ignored him as he talked with the raven and Iruma stood there awkwardly.
"Hey uhm, Kamui, could you tell me what her name is?"
"You must be new to this, you guys will bond on a name together in due time! You must always be patient for a lady." He bowed politely before walking away.
"How dare that scoundrel talk to you master Iruma.."
"It's okay Az! He was just being nic-" He was cut off as a rubber ball hit him in the face and he was tackled by a girl with green hair.
"MASTER IRUMA!" The girl stood on him like a dog with the ball in her mouth, before spitting it out. Iruma groaned a little as he opened his eyes.
"Whoopsie! Didn't mean to hit ya mister mister!" Asmodeus shoved her off and began to yell at her.
"HOW DARE YOU HIT MASTER IRUMA APOLOGISE AT ONCE OR I WILL INCINERATE YOU-"
"Az! I'm okay!"
"Sorry! Hey, you're that famous guy right!? Wanna come play with me!? I got snacks!!" She talked very energetically before she began to pull bottles of pop and bags of snacks out of her pockets.
"Wow! How did you fit that all in there!?"
"It's my Daddy's special pockets! I can pull out whatever I want out of them!"
"You can't win him over with simple- MASTER!" He turned to see Iruma shoving bags of food into his jacket.
"Uh-"
"Yay! You took my snacks so now you're gonna play with me right!?"
"Oh, uh sure!"
"Master Iruma I really don't think thats-" Clara grabbed there hands and began to pull them down the hallway.
"Yay!! Let's go!!"
...

She brought them to a grassy patch and sat them down.
"Okay Irumakins! You're the doggy!"
"What-!? Uh okay.." Iruma sat on the grass awkwardly before barking like a dog.
"M-Master!? You really don't have to-!"
"Well, It's kind of fun Az!"
"And Az Az you're the neighbor my husband is cheating on me with!"
"I didn't tell you you could call me that!"
"Well then." Asmodeus spoke snottily as he waved a fan in front of his face. "He should really hurry up and divorce you already, hmph."
(Wow Az got into that fast)
"Oh I know! Conner can be the husband and Murph can be the Kitty!" She said pulling off her shoes
"Hey Clara~!" She stopped as she turned towards a group of guys. She jumped up and ran to them.
"Hey Hey!" She smiled brightly as the main one held out his hand.
"Hey clarine, mind making with the drinks~? We're thirsty." She nodded frantically and pulled out drinks for each of them. He patted her on the head before walking away.
"What was that Clara?"
"Honestly who were those hooligans" Asmodeus spat as he crossed his arms.
"Oh! They're some of my friends! You see If I give them stuff sometimes they play with me!"
"Oh.. that's kind of like..." It brought Iruma back to memories of his parents, where they only praised him if they got something out of it.
"Like what master Iruma?"
"It doesn't make you happy though..."
"Huh..?" Clara seemed to shrink slightly as he said that.
"We trick ourselves into thinking it's good all around but.. they're just using us aren't they..."
"Hey Clara? Az?"
"Huh..?"
"Yes master?"
"Let's promise that none of us will use one another like that, okay?"
"Oh! Of course Iruma sir!" Clara teared up a bit before launching herself at Iruma.
"ThAt'S ThE NicEsT ThInG AnYoNe At ScHoOl HaS EvEr SaId To Me!"Asmodeus snarled at her and tried to pry her off while Iruma smiled at her.
"HOW DARE YOU JUMP ON HIM LIKE THAT!!"
"Come on Az Az! Let's play some more!"
