72Serafall quietly looked over what would be the training grounds on the Leviathan property, a vast plot of land that had signs of being used as a training ground. Littered with craters and scorch marks, she only nodded to herself as her [Queen] piece stood by her side, dressed in his ever clean butler outfit. The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, looking over the landscape as well with his sharp green eyes.
"AJ-chan?" Serafall spoke up, gaining the butler's attention, "What is the likelihood of things getting a bit...messy?"
AJ, or his full name Alfredonius "Alfred" Jarvis Butler, didn't speak for a moment before he answered in his crisp lightly british accented voice, "Very high, given that we will be dealing with a sacred gear that we have never known of before, Lady Leviathan."
"I thought as much," The Maou sighed, stretching her arms above her head, "Same thing happened when Behom-chan and Ziz-chan met for the first time too~, it was a mess."
"Indeed, one that I clearly remember you saying that wouldn't be so bad to clean up." The Butler remarked in his chrisp tone, making the short devil pout.
"It wasn't my fault they went so far! They were just excited to see each other!" She whined at her [Queen], defending her [Rook] and [Knight] pieces.
"Yes," Alfred said, looking at the Maou, "they were so excited that they went and left a quarter of the household a wreck and gave the construction crews heart attacks for all the pranks they played on them."
Serafall fell to her knees, her face one of sadness and despair, "Why must you make your [King] feel so bad, AJ-chan?"
Alfred wasn't affected by this show, "Someone has to keep the Leviathan house standing, M'lady. Now, I believe we were looking for a clearing to place the first training lesson between Mister Hyoudou and your other [Rook]?"
Upon arriving at the Leviathan estate, Janet Buné could only stare at the massive mansion that made any house in places like California look like regular suburban houses. The place was exuding an aura that was screaming wealth and power, though of course, this was the house of one of the Maou. What she didn't expect was to have a gigantic beast lumbered across the front lawn like some sort of dinosaur.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed what it looked like. The massive creature walked like a gorilla, its front paws were that of a sloths, and it had the tusks and wooly fur of a Mammoth. It didn't have a trunk but it gave out low elephant like bellows that shook her body, making goosebumps run up her skin. It lumbered on by as she looked at Issei, who was staring at the beast in awe.
"What was that creature?" He asked finally, looking at Janet.
"That," A male voice spoke up, making the two turn to see Serafall's [Queen] piece standing by the doorway, "Is Lady Leviathan's first [Rook], the great Behemoth."
"B-Behemoth?!" Issei did a double take before shivering, "L-like the one from the Bible?"
"The very same, Lady Leviathan also has Ziz as her [Knight], completing the trifecta as she stated firmly to me many times." Alfred said before opening the front door, motioning for them to enter.
Janet walked inside the mansion and felt warmth fill her body, as she saw properly dressed servants doing their duties around the building. That was when Issei asked what Alfred if he was something that he wasn't, she couldn't hear what he said but Alfred's reply was simple.
"I'm merely a humble butler."
"What exactly do you do then?" Issei asked, confused.
Alfred smiled before he said,"I buttle, sir."
Issei frowned, as Janet had to hide a snicker at the scene before she was hugged from behind by a very enthusiastic dark haired missile in a magic girl outfit.
"Janet-Chan! Issei-Chan~! You made it," Serafall grinned before looking at them with star filled eyes, "AJ-chan hasn't been giving you any trouble has he?"
"No, he hasn't at all. So, why are we here, Lady Leviathan?" Janet asked respectfully, making the childish Maou pull a face.
"Call me Levi-tan!" She whined as Issei chuckled before walking up, making the short devil perk up, "Oh, yes, going to train you both! Going to give you the full Levi-tan regiment to make you the best of the best! That's a magical Levi-tan promise!"
She made a pose before grabbing Issei by the hand and dragged him through the halls, out the back door, into the largest backyard Janet had ever seen. That was until she saw a figure, a figure that was wearing full body plate armor with mail underneath from the looks of it. The helmet looked like a closed helm with a large visor. Emblems embroidered on the front and back, showing off the symbol of the Leviathan and a medallion was hanging from a chain, the symbol on it was a storm cloud, with a blocky stone axe crossed with a bolt of lightning.
The figure also carried an imposing looking poleaxe.
"Who is that?" Janet asked, pointing the figure, who now looked at the group.
"That, Janet-chan," Serafall grinned widely, "is my [Rook]. Issei-chan is going to train with my [Rook] while I train you myself, Janet-chan!"
The Buné [King] and [Queen] looked at one another before Issei looked at Serafall, clearly confused. That didn't last long, the skies turned balck and lightning rumbled through the clouds before striking the [Rooks] poleaxe. The plasma energy curled and snaked down the length of the axe before going across the armor, dancing like a wild animal before the figure flung out its other arm. The lightning shot forth into the ground before it caused an explosion, the clouds slowly departed as the [Rook] looked at Issei, making the "come hither" gesture.
"You've got to be kidding me…." Issei groaned, Janet watched as he walked towards the armored figure, shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Don't worry, Issei-Chan," Serafall called to him, "my [Rook] won't get you hurt too badly, this is only training after all!"
Janet winced, feeling like that this wasn't going to be easy at all for her [Queen] piece in the slightest.
