Oriax was growing tired of this cat-and-mouse game. He had just been informed that he was getting a new angel, again. His past rival, Nanael, had requested to be assigned a new demon after only a month, and the academy had agreed!

At first, that had pleased him. All demons cheated on the trials, and all demons cheated during the interventions on their humans, but only he was so bad that he could make angel after angel cry to the seraphim, tail between their legs, pleading to be taken away from Oriax.

So here he was now, waiting for his new torment victim so they could influence their human together. He wondered how long it would take this one to run away.

The moment he heard the light footsteps, a grin appeared on his handsome face. There they are, my new mouse.

"Look who finally decided to show up! And here I thought devils were supposed to be the impolite ones."
