Devil King: Beelzebub.

The sooner I can look over Issei Hyoudou's pieces – the better. From the time I created them till now, I have not encountered a single devil who could promote without the input of his or her king. Better yet, this is the first instance I've found of a sacred gear meddling with the evil piece system. As fundamentally, such ability was never intended to be possible in a set of Evil Pieces. Exhaling, another series of notes are quickly jotted down into my records.

I should know as much. They were created by me.

Taking the yellow folder off my table, should I actually be surprised at what one could consider a flaw in my work? Overlooking the contents of the Red Dragon Emperor's file, the only jolt that runs through me is a puzzling curiosity. "I doubt we'll need to worry. Though, even if the full extent of their abilities are still unknown to me... Hm, does that make me a bad creator?" Errors or not, setting down the file, it joins the rest which coat my ivory desk in a stack. "--I don't think so."

No matter what the secret behind the development is, it's not an issue. Rather, I'm sure their future opponents will take it as a challenge to them instead of some sort of 'cheat move'. "From what I could gather, this generation appears to be quite headstrong in their desire to make a name for themselves." Yes, I think I quite prefer it that way. Intentional design flaw or not, the evil pieces are full of opportunities. ...One I hope to see realized in my lifetime.

Flipping through the pages, my landing rests on the reports Rias gave to us. Speaking of this generation, it's a shame I'll be missing the first game. "Hopefully they will forgive me, I doubt either of them will stay mad for too long if I manage to still catch the tapings." They'll understand, I am sure. Today's research is far too important.

With a swipe of my hand, the stacks of folders return back to their proper place near instantaneously. Utility magic, quite the effective solution when feeling slothful. Of course, by just removing my trusty remote from my pocket, I can also, with just the press of a button – change the scheme of my office as well.

With just a click.
