I apologized to the teacher and told her why I couldn't come to school. The teacher welcomed me warmly and introduced me to my peers, then told me that they had already gone through the basics of magic, and today they were teaching us how to summon a familiar (a variant of an assistant secretary). And before I did that, I wanted to see what I could do with magic. Here I remembered what my father had said:
"Don't show your light magic to anyone."
So, I showed them a "small" spell of fire magic (a ball of fire appeared in my hand). The teacher liked it and said that I was ready to summon a familiar. She also gave me a piece of paper with the school rules written on it. I looked at it, and the very first rule was that your race and social status don't matter, and everyone is equal. I was so happy when I read that, that I didn't even read the others.
The teacher wrote a spell on the board and gave us sheets of paper with a circle drawn on them.
Teacher - Now imagine what type of familiar you want, read the spell from the board, and cast your magic into the circle that is on the table!
Everyone drew sheets of paper around them, and monsters the size of dogs appeared.
Teacher - Congratulations, they are your familiars
And suddenly he came towards me.
Teacher - Something is wrong with you. Put more mana into the sheet.
I also put a little more mana and my sheet drew, but the familiar did not appear, my body began to glow like that time in the church, I had a terrible feeling, this light came out of me and the son of the demon lord appeared in front of me, during his appearance the ground shook, lightning struck here and there and everyone was in panic. When he finally appeared, we saw that he was wearing heavy shackles. The teacher was exhausted from fear, but she still managed to say this:
Teacher - Run, he is the prince of demons!
Suddenly, I had such an idea, if everyone is so afraid of him, then I will make him my familiar, he will protect me with his strength, and, since this demon is the son of the king, also with his name.
Uta - Teacher, how should I make a contract...
Demon - contract, you say? Die, you unknown creature!
And he began to cast a killing spell. At this time, the teacher told me with telepathic magic what I had to do to make him my familiar. I began to cast the spell and gathered all my mana in my chest. At this time, the teacher placed an air magic shield on me, and I was ready to approach him.
As soon as I approached him, he canceled the spell and thrust his clawed hand into my heart. At the same moment, as I fell to my knees, I remembered my lover from my previous life, and before I could cast the spell, I turned it off.
I woke up a few hours later. At that moment, I checked my chest, and there was no longer a hole there. The doctor examined me and said that nothing was wrong with me. At the same time, the teacher and classmates came in and told me what happened after he killed me.
"Demon - does he really want to sign a contract with me so much that he sacrificed himself for it. I don't understand how people are so stupid, but this girl interested me… Hey, they call you the teacher, right? When she wakes up, tell her to perform the summoning ritual again. I want to talk to her."
As soon as I went outside, I performed the summoning ritual again, and everything happened again, earthquakes and so on. But this time, when he arrived no longer had the intention to kill me, nor did he wear shackles. He walked up to me and spoke.
Demon - you could easily dodge that attack, as well as disable me with one blow. I learned this when I touched your heart: you have unlimited power, and why? I don't understand...
The teacher is shocked.
Uta - I need you.
The demon's cheeks turned red, and he asked me in a low voice who the person was who was wandering in my mind at the moment of death, and I told him that it was a secret.
Demon - I agree to make a contract with you, but on one condition: you will fulfill one wish in the future.
I also agreed, and with that, the contract was fulfilled.
The contract breaker dies both physically and spiritually
At this time, the demon told me to choose a name for him. I didn't even think about it too much.
Uta - Your name will be Diablo
Diablo - I am delighted with my new name, my lady.
Uta - You don't want to talk like that, let's be friends
When everything calmed down, classes resumed, and with the help of the teachers, the children were getting stronger.
4 years later
Meanwhile, Uta reached the limit of his strength (at the age of 10)
I was confused. Even using a little magic would have catastrophic results. I couldn't control my own power, and the teachers noticed this and told me to leave school to take care of other children.
I thought a lot about this topic. I even asked Diablo for advice, and he also advised me to leave school and added that I should go to his father (the demon king). She said that her father could use magic that would increase the magical capacity of others. I liked this idea and decided to try it, and since Diablo would be by my side, no one would dare to touch me. Diablo told me that he could open a teleportation gate to the demon land at any time, so I warned everyone that I was going to leave for a long time. My family at home took this news easily. I didn't tell them that we were going to the demon land. Finally, I asked Diablo to open the portal, and we went to the demon land.
We moved, but we found ourselves surrounded by millions of demons. They surrounded us, and at that moment, the king came forward.
Demon King - Is that you...
Diablo - Yes, father, it's me, I'm sorry I haven't contacted you for so long.
Demon King - I thought that humans killed you, and I was going to destroy them with this army.
Diablo - Father, I came to you with a request (kneeling), this is my master (stretching his hand towards Uta) and I became his familiar...
Demon King - How dare you enslave my son! I'll kill you in the act...
Diablo - Father, stop, I'm not a slave. Additionally, I willingly submitted to her so that you could calm down. She could have killed me at any moment, but instead, she accepted me, and she doesn't look at me like others, and she doesn't look at me like a "demon".
Demon King - Are you...
Diablo - Yes, father, and don't say please...
Demon King - Okay, what did you want to ask for?
Diablo - She has reached the limits of his power, and she can also use light magic, and that's why I brought her to you in the hope that you would increase her limits with your magic.
Demon King - Is that all? (laughs), addresses the demons: Disband, there will be no more war, we should have a big feast in the evening
I looked around in surprise. I always imagined demons as evil, both from books and from people's stories, but they also have no less feelings for people. Until we reached the palace, I saw so many beautiful things that I had never seen before. Damn it, I thank my fate that Diablo appeared to me then. The demon king told me that before the table was laid, he would increase my power capacity and took me to a large hall where a large circle was drawn on the floor. He told me to stand in the center of the circle and began to cast a spell. He cast the spell for 5 minutes, and at the end, the circle began to glow, flicker, and go out. I felt something had changed in me.
Demon King - You will feel deep changes later, after you fall asleep.
I thanked the king, and he led me to the feast. On the way, he told me that if I reached the limit of my strength again, he would not be able to increase my capacity anymore because my body would not be able to withstand it, and I would die.
But I didn't pay much attention to it. I had a great time that night. I only drank the local juice, which was very tasty. The next morning, everyone had a hangover. We said goodbye to the king. Diablo opened the portal, and we returned home.
