Leo POV -

Sidnie seemed a little different after her first day of school. The Creator had been required by the school to remove all blocks within the system that had helped her stay calm and alright while as a small child, and sick.

Her mental state had seemed stable, at least. She also appeared to have a new found determination in learning and understanding how to properly fight with the Demons. She did amazingly well at hunts, but those were basically just computer programming that could easily be dealt with, Bosses aside.

I was very proud of her, for that determination. I may not like how it occurred, or the fact that it had occurred so violently, but I was proud all the same. She had even appeared to make a new friend within the class, the Rabbit user that helped inspire this, Suzuki.

Her A.I was a feminine completed personality, the the boy Drake, and the Teachers. They each had the option of appearing as a Prompt, or a holographic image of how their personalities have formed.

They showed each of us, the others, these forms at the behest of the Teacher’s A.I, Christopher. He seemed a kindly elderly man that wanted to spend his days ‘teaching’ the younger generation. It had made me wonder at the time just what the Teacher's personality had been like before to create this form of A.I, though at a point we do go off into our own methods away from our owners mentality. This I just found amusing.

But the Rabbit user’s A.I was a calm woman that appeared in a traditional styled kimono, flower patterns running along the right side to disappear in a practical, and elegant falling line of black hair. She seemed soft spoken, and shy. Her name was Yuki

The boys A.I, Ragnar, looked like a classical viking. Furred armor, and a big horned hat. He also had the temperament of a moronic three year old denied candy. Violent in how he spoke, and extremely rude to the rest of us. But he cracked and spoke normally from time to time, I still did not personally like him, but he was not all bad.

The others were still within the younger half of their personality formation, around 40% or so. As such they remained distinctly within the sphere of influence of their owners personalities. That was changing, very slowly, but it was changing. It reminded me of Lucifer, whom I enjoyed speaking with. I missed the other one, Grendel who belonged to Franny, but it was the inevitable fate of children to be split up to some degree in school. According to the Creator and Sidnie’s Mother.

At least she still had Jessica, though Lucifer had a disturbing habit of laughing every time it appeared Jessica became jealous of something that had occurred. But she was at least keeping the worst of the aspects of school life from descending upon SIdnie in one go, overloading her and in the worse case scenario keeping her from growing up properly.

It was still early only the second day of her life outside of her once bubble home, but I felt she would grow into a proper young lady with the outside influence of others, good, and Bad. Though I may personally wish to have a physical body to prevent any and all bad things that occurred, my natural instinct to protect Sidnie, I could not do this every time. It would only serve to stunt her growth further.

So I agreed with the censor removal, and I was proud she had not vomited again. As for the Teacher, I agreed with aspects of his methods. But I greatly disliked how he had cut Sidnie off from influencing the Leaders she has cultivated for so many years to stop the war. She did not want it, and I could only do so much to stop it.

I could not fully sway the emotions, and actions of the Leaders of each tribe, Fluffy was the only one that would likely avoid the conflict as a whole if able because it would upset ‘Mother’ I had found that cute, his referral to Sidnie as such. I also planned to keep it a secret for now. If she learned he called her that she might never control another. She simply loved the ‘fluffy puppies’ too much, though she claimed equality in terms of that, and did show such in many aspects, Fluffy was undoubtedly her favorite.

I would attempt to speak with the Teacher one last time, in the next day or so, in regards to the war. I knew it would quickly grow to an uncontrollable scale between them all, and it would break Sidnie’s heart. The Old Man did not feel the same at the time. But perhaps after another day or two of seeing how Sidnie was in regards to her Demons.

As it was, I would have to wait. The single good point was that the very small tribe of Imps I had sent, and requested walled off from the rest of the growing conflict were already beginning to show a unique hunting method. They were the strongest of their generation within Obsidians domain. Somewhat larger than normal Imps, and left utterly alone for almost a day, or nearly 3 years within my world, they had adapted quickly to living in such a small community, and seemed closer as a result.

They still served the strongest of the Imps, however it seemed more familial than the others after this time. Within that sphere of influence that was the receding glow of Sidnie’s personal influence on the Demons, they had made the jump to such closeness on their own to survive without stronger Demons to act as a buffer from strong predators, or to serve. It has created a very minor form of independency that I found remarkable, and would be able to show Sidnie in time. As it was, it was still in the infant stages, though I had a plan for these Imps. I may not be able to directly influence the course of events that would follow with this war personally, beyond a very few minor things. BUt these little ones, if my plan and experiment went well, would. It all depending on what they unlocked for evolutions, or Variants.

That part I kept from Sidnie, because regardless of how she was in strong dislike of not interfering personally, she would still listen to her Teacher. She was a very sweet, timid child. I hoped she retained the sweetness, but became more assertive in the future. A it was, it would take months before it all came to a true head, and by then my little experiment will have either born fruit, or failed.

I watched Sidnie’s interactions with her classmates, and the others, as well as interacted a great deal with the other A.I inside our personal space within the classroom, and had actually grown further. My personality completion was at 98% right now, a remarkable growth, but not too unnatural for myself. Perhaps I would gain a holographic imaging spectrum as well, and be able to speak as the three advanced ones could? It would be rather fun to find out when it came to pass.

Right now Sidnie was speaking with the young woman, Suzuki, and I was watching her absently through the monitoring systems within the room that allowed us, as A.I to observe everything and grow through watching.

They were discussing their fight, and I was trying to keep from jumping in. She needed to make new friends, and this was the best way. Even if I did not want to share my owner with others, I already had to deal with Red trying to corrupt her, and turn her into a sexual deviant, while Obsidian wished to turn her into a war asset, and Specter...He wanted to eat her, a very disturbing creature.

Yuki floated toward me, she was in the normal state we saw ourselves as, a ball of information. But she could speak as she wished, and her voice was very soft,

“You show remarkable restraint, Leo. I remember when Suzuki first went to school, I threw myself into every conversation to try and include myself in her life. It took a long time for me to realize that she needed to grow, as badly as I did.”

I want Sidnie to grow into a fine young lady, and to do that she needs more human interactions. Good and bad. It does not mean I like it, it is simply a fact. I am pleased, at least, that your Suzuki seems a balancing act for Jessica’s odd possessiveness.

She laughed softly, a very quiet sound that was calming.

“Yes, the purple haired girl. She is a rather large ball of human emotions. But she is sweet, and I cannot say I blame her. Your Sidnie is a very special little girl. She acts like Suzuki with her creatures, and very few have over the time she has interacted with other humans. I fear Suzuki may become just as possessive just to have a female friend near her own age that feels as she does. That they are more like family, than tools to learn.”

Well...that would end oddly I imagine. Jessica had just moved over and sat between them both, and sent all the signals of a jealous friend. I saw the prompt that held ‘hahaha’ come beside me. Lucifer.

That girl truly needs to just confess already, this is becoming, while amusing, a disaster. She is focusing too much on Sidnie, and not enough on her own life. Leo, you really should explain why Jessica is acting how she is to her.

I regarded him. He was a very odd A.I. He was a joking individual, with remarkable insights into the human nature. However I disagreed.

It is not our place to dictate how our Owners interact with others, or how they grow individually. Your Jessica shall confess her feelings when she is ready. As it is, we can but watch and hope it does not end badly for either.

Lucifer made a huff like emoticon in his prompt, I felt like smacking him. He was lecturing me, when his protectiveness was far, far worse than my own. According to Grendel he had actively portrayed images of decaying corpses to any and all boys that came near Jessica the second he could actively be shown when she had turned 12 years of age. Foolish loving joker. I did feel like laughing though, it had backfired, now Jessica was infatuated with Sidnie. I was concerned with how that may turn out. But it would be their choice, assuming Sidnie did not act upon her own infatuation with that cocky worm who had insulted her multiple times. I disliked that boy, Drake, but she must be allowed to grow. That had become my own mantra over the last day. It was not truly helping.

I heard a soft laugh again, and turned to regard Yuki, who was watching Suzuki with a soft smile. But she said nothing to add to our conversations, as such that is how we three spent the remainder of our day. Observing our respective owners, and growing a little with them.

When we left school for the day, I returned to the main carrying system of the watch on Sidnie’s wrist, and enjoyed listening to her speak with Jessica, and Franny on their way home. IT was nice, seeing them interact with each other daily now. It had also done wonders for Sidnie, which was the greatest thing of all.

Obsidian POV -

Sitting within the throne room for my Castle, I was listening to a report, and growing far more irritable as the report continued.

The minor House of Dracul had fallen, it only had a few nobles and a small token force. Really an offshoot of a main House. The problem was the cause of the damn House falling. Those Wild Demons had risen up, they had decimated that far flung minor house and were steadily marching toward the center of my Territory, to me.

House Dracul was no more, and apparently the combined might of House Draco, and House Thuraz were not enough to stop the encroaching horde. Reports were flying in from the battlefront on how we were losing miles every hour to them.

They had no Imps, but they had Evolved something more deadly, a kind of Husks with wings. Each of them had these extensions, and it allowed them air superiority along with the extreme ground enhancement. The fact this happened so soon after we had conquered the entire area in my Domain could not be a coincidence.

The Wild ones were larger, more fierce than any of the warriors from those Houses as well. The Pit Fighter equivalent was twice as strong, and had large bat like wings. They were also all blood red, unlike the Grey Husks. The Bruisers were more deadly, apparently as well. THey wielded huge broken blades and decimated the ranks wherever they went.

It was a one sided retreat, by all reports. I growled out my frustrations, and turned toward my brother.

“Call back the Invasion forces, send them to the Northern Front and Flank those mindless brutes that DARE to think they can take what is mine! You!” I pointed to the current head of House Theraz. “Get your fucking ass to that front, and hold the line, I do not care how many you have to lose to keep them in place, just hold them back!”

I proceeded to throw orders to each House in turn, and they ran to fulfill them, they had learned before what it meant to not obey, they had no intention of doing so again, it’s why I did not worry about them fulfilling my orders.

My Brother had already left, running as quickly as he could to the messenger Fiends. It left me alone with my thoughts, and one word echoing out within my mind from the report. A single survivor of the initial encounter had shown us a Species of the Wild Ones not seen before, it could speak, unlike the rest. The words dictated to the survivor had been somewhat chilling, yet exciting.

‘Burn the Heretics, kill those that have turned from the truth of their existence. Show them what happens when the Devils run rampant!’

The words showed a leadership, they showed something I had no thought after we had killed the last of the beastkin. A challenge, a TRUE challenge to my strength. The Wild ones would be dealt with, no longer would I attempt to use them. No doubt they would rise again, and I could not allow this to occur more than once.

I turned, my brother entering the throne room, and left. He followed.

“Sister, what is the plan?”

I turned to regard him, a truly blissful smile upon my lips as I hefted my Axe.

“We slaughter them to the last mewling infant. None are to escape. Gather our personal forces, we march for the front now. The Invasion of the other territories will have to wait.”

My Brother matched my smile, our lust for true combat the equal of one another, and then we left for the front.

Here you are my Lovelies. The Leo sections will steadily grow larger as he himself evolves and grows as an individual being. Also, the next POV in chapter 4 will of course be Specter. Following that we are going to do a chapter dedicated to Obsidians fight, with a Red POV at the end haha

It should be very fun, to watch how Obsidian does battle. Along with the prolonged damage caused by a few years of fighting the 'Devil Demons'

As always however, much love and cookies. I hope you all enjoy this small peak into how Leo thinks of all that is occurring after only two days of school. I also hope you enjoy the peak into other A.I's, this will increase with time as well Advertisement Previous
