8-year-old Asch Gremory stood in the courtyard of the Gremory Manor staring down a training dummy, holding a blade that was much too heavy for his size.
Asch: ...
Asch was born without House Bael's coveted Power of Destruction, much like his cousin, Sairaorg, but, he could still use magic. Even without his family trait, he was expected to be as great as his elder siblings, Rias and Sirzechs. It irritated him to no end that his sister had it easy while he had to work his butt off.
He drew the blade from its scabbard and tried to hit the dummy, but, due to its weight and his flimsy arms, he missed it entirely and struck the ground next to it.
Asch: Dammit! I hate this...
???: Young Master.
Asch was met with the Gremory House's head maid and Sirzechs's Queen, Grayfia.
Asch: ... What do you want, Grayfia?
Grayfia: Forgive the interruption, but Lord and Lady Gremory requested your presence in the drawing room. They said it is of utmost importance.
Asch clicked his tongue in annoyance. Usually when his mother and father wanted to see him, it was to complain and berate him about something hi did wrong or something he didn't do good enough at.
Asch: Fine. You're dismissed.
The silver haired maid bowed before teleporting away. Asch sheathed the sword and dragged it back to the Manor's armory before walking at a brisk pace to the drawing room.
Intro
He opened the door and saw his parents, Zeoticus and Venelana Gremory, his elder twin sister, a 9-year-old Rias, and a familiar set of blonde drills and a man with an ego that matched a certain King of Heroes.
