PPPPFFFFFT!?"
Serafall Leviathan SPEWED out her mocha latte all over the meeting table when she heard the news that a spy for the Devin Faction had in store for her and the other 3 of the Devil Kings of the Underworld. She wasn't the only one shocked, but she was the only person who had such an animated reaction to the news.
The Philosopher's Stone was completed.
Serafall was a young appearing woman with long black hair done up in twin tails, and bright blue eyes. While she had a childish face, the rest of her body was much more that of a mature, though quite short, woman. During a very serious meeting among her peers, she still wore her pink magical girl outfit.
Serafall Leviathan.
Sirzechs Lucifer.
Falbium Asmodeus.
Ajuka Beelzebub.
"A Philosophers stone, the greatest alchemy achievement in the world. That despite hundreds and thousands of alchemists working together, only a single immature one had ever been produced through out history and the feat of making even an immature one has not been repeated since. You presume to tell us that a second immature philosophers stone has been produced?" Ajuka asked with both of his eyebrows furrowed in confusion and disbelief. He had given up his own studies on the object since he was part of a long lived species and the research just proved to get no results after hundreds of years of trying.
Beautiful, slightly feminine in the face, and young was what Ajuka looked like, his green hair slicked back and eyes blue. He wore an outfit more related to working in a lab than he wore something that was, since he was less of a leader and more of a scientist who enjoyed creating new and wonderful inventions.
"No... I'm looking at this picture, and it's not white." Falbium stated as he looked at the picture the spy had passed to them.
The stone was wrapped around the neck of a young man, who was sitting on a beach and creating some kind of potion. He had a giant clam with tentacles coming out of it next to him, and just by the look on the boy's face, it was clear to tell that he was the one who had created the stone.
The immature Philosopher's Stone was white.
The completed and mature stone was red.
"He's right... it's red, and this boy... actually... what the hell is that clam thing?" Sirzechs asked as he looked at the picture when it was passed to him. He had dealings with alchemists in the past, and none of them seemed to have the same aura about them as this boy. Sirzechs was about the same height and build as his friend Ajuka, but with long red hair instead of green, though they both have blue eyes.
Blue eyes were common among the 4 Great Devil Kings, except for Falbium.
"That is Shelly, the Hypnotic Clam, the boy created that monster after working on it for a couple of hours-"
"Hours you say? Now that really is impressive, to create a monster with such little time. The boy must have a passion for creating life, and he successfully created the legendary stone itself. What is his name?" Ajuka asked with a smile that started to widen. "Age, height, any background information. What else can you offer about him?" Ajuka was far more interested in the boy who created the stone than he was the stone itself.
He always expected the next person to create the stone, though he never imagined anyone would ever actually succeed in a complete stone, would be an old man. This was clearly a young man with a lust for life.
"Ajuka, calm down, and don't let your hobby get in the way of your duty." Falbium reminded his fellow devil king.
This was a serious matter.
"Naruto Uzumaki, his age is 17 and he is originally from Japan. That is all we know about him though, and that he was rejected from the Mage's school for his magic reserves and his inability to control his magic properly."
"Ah, so he has small reserves." Sirzechs understood that plight, since his own cousin was born with a similar condition of having nearly no magical power. It wasn't easy for those born into magical families to not have that power.
"Actually, his magical reserves are naturally higher than those of everyone in this room. If everyone in this room unleashed their magic, I would say the resulting magical power would add up to about half of what he has. A good deal of that power is sealed away though, due to him never making use of it." The spy spoke as he went through more details of the report.
He has Sensor-type abilities, so he was able to sense the power that the boy had hidden away inside of him. It was a gift of his family to be able to sense the true power of others, and that was why he refused to get close to the boy or approach him.
There was a stunned silence.
There was an actual stunned silence in the room as they each took a picture of the boy, that was captured at different times and from different angles. Serafall gulped and shifted in her seat, taking the meeting a little more seriously. She had never met a human mage that had raw magical power greater than her own, and she had met quite a few mages before. That was a terrifying thought that a human had been born with that amount of power, and that very same human had access to immortality and unlimited wealth.
She wasn't the only one stunned.
"Are you sure?" Falbium asked.
Ajuka shared a look with Sirzechs.
'He might be like us... he might be to humans, what we are to devils.' Sirzechs was already on the same page as Ajuka. The both of them were the strongest examples of what devils could produce, and they didn't inherit their magical strength from their parents. They were born unique because they had power that far surpassed their own families, and even the original devil kings. "Are you the only one who knows about him? What else can you tell us?" Sirzechs asked their spy.
Ajuka was just smiling from ear to ear as he looked at the picture of the boy
'He's like me... born with a power he doesn't care to use, and wants to focus on creating instead of destroying.' Ajuka wasn't even paying much attention.
"He is being targetted by the church for his repeated... more sexual related experiments that have caused their exorcists trouble. Not to mention he unique brand of terror he unleashes when he pranks the citizens of Italy. He has been noted to create a Manphin-"
"What is a Manphin?" Serafall asked at the unusual term.
The hell was a manphin?
"A Half-Dolphin and Half-Man, he sometimes visits it at the beach with his pet, Pork the Orc-"
"Orc!? Orcs don't exist, they are something from D&D and comics and stuff, they don't actually exist. Humans created the concept of..." Sirzechs stopped his objection when he realized what had been stated in the same sentence. Naruto had created not only his own original Manphin species, but he had created an actual Orc. "... that is amazing." Sirzechs looked towards Ajuka to see his reaction.
Ajuka looked like he was happier than he had been in awhile, and just dying to get up to go meet this boy in person.
Sirzechs knew why.
"His most common experiments seem to focus on slimes and tentacles-"
"Ah, that's genius! Slimes are extremely adaptable, and tentacles are the same. A monster species and a monster plant species that was designed by nature to be predators against supernatural species. They aren't strong on their own, but he must have discovered some immense potential in them... he's a very lewd child, but his genius-"
"Slimes and tentacles! I have GOT to meet this guy! I need somebody who can make me new creatures like that for my show, since you can't have a good magical girl show without at least a little slime and tentacle molestation. The slimes and tentacles in the wild aren't any good though. See you guys later-" Serafall got up and prepared herself to go straight to the human world.
Ajuka grabbed her by her hair and pulled her back into her seat before she could get far, and he had a competetive look on his face.
"This boy is a creator, his abilities would be wasted just making a monster of the week for you to destroy for your show. His talents would do far better if I was there to help him, and further our ambitions together. Clearly-"
"Ajuka-chan, I want this boy for me. I can make my show so much more awesome if I have him making monsters, and I can pay him WAY more than you can. He's a mage, and I'm going to go make a contract with him right now. You can't stop me." Serafall argued as she started to pout at him.
Sirzechs looked at the boy.
"Actually, I think with my funding the boy will do best under contract with me. Like Ajuka, I don't particularly care what he creates, and if you want to pay him to make monsters for you, I don't mind that either." Sirzechs threw his hat into the ring. He had a multitude of reasons why he wanted the boy, some of which would include his younger sister if you asked him to be honest, but he just felt a kinship with the boy.
He looked at some of the file the boy had.
His parents died when he was born through and unknown cause, meaning he had no family at all. He believed that he could offer the boy not only a contract, but also a family. They just needed to get this boy on their side no matter what.
They all looked at Falbium.
"... I don't want him, he looks like trouble that I would have to deal with. You guys go for him, he seems like he would ruin my sleep." Falbium didn't care for the idea of dealing with the boy.
"I want to get molested to boost my ratings!"
"I want him, we can make such amazing things together!"
"He focused on perverted things, which are GREAT for magical girl shows! Mine, he is MINE!"
"I don't care what he focuses on, he can make whatever he wants, but I want to work with him and him to work with me. That boy and I were made for each other!"
'He is a Japanese native, and Rias is currently attending school in Kuoh. I think he might go to Kuoh if he is offered a scholarship by a beautiful girl like Rias.' Sirzechs thought while Ajuka and Serafall argued with each other loudly.
He got up to leave.
"You aren't going anywhere Sirzechs/Sirzechs-chan."
Maybe he would have to contact Rias later.
