---In the Gremory Territory---

It was another hard morning of training for the ORC members. They could feel their stamina and magic control increasing, showing the fruits of their labour. They were currently going back to the mansion for lunch before continuing their training.

As they walked through the front doors they were met with a mouth-watering aroma. Natsu and Grayfia have outdone themselves yet again. Xenovia had a happy smile on her face ever since the date with Natsu three days ago. She noticed that she had an increase in power the day after Natsu marked her.

They walked into the dining room and were met with a large assortment of various foods. They enjoyed a wonderful meal and felt reenergised.

"I'm ready to go and learn my Balance Breaker," Issei exclaimed.

"That might be interesting to see," Natsu said to himself.

"Want to go and watch?" Grayfia asked.

"Sure, we don't have any specific plans for today and I think it might be enjoyable to see how far they have come," Natsu replied with a smile.

"Then it's decided we will join them for the afternoon," Grayfia said with a smile of her own.

"You're coming with us?" Akeno asked as a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Yeah, and now you can show me how much stronger you have become," Natsu grinned back at her.

Akeno let out a gleeful shout and threw herself at Natsu. Natsu managed to catch her and prevented both of them from falling down.

"You sure seem excited," Natsu laughed. He knew Akeno would do something like this when she was excited and what could excite her more than spending more time with him since she was forced to do the training unlike Grayfia who had Natsu all to herself the entire time they were off training.

"Don't jump on Natsu like that Akeno, show some restraint," Grayfia said with authority in her voice but Akeno only giggled in response.

The group moved towards the forest where they spent their time training under Azazel's instruction. Natsu saw the destruction of certain locations, guessing that was some of the training locations.

"It seems like the Dragon King has decided to grace us with his presence," Azazel joked as he saw they group that was coming back included Natsu and Grayfia.

"My King, it has been a long time," Tannin bowed his head as he felt Natsu's aura.

"Rise your head Tannin, and greet me like an old friend should," Natsu grinned back at the large Dragon.

The next thing that happened shocked the ORC group who had been training as Tannin's ginormous size shrunk down to the size of an average human.

Tannin walked over to where Natsu was standing and extended his arm. They grabbed one another's elbows in greeting.

'It seems like the life of a reincarnated devil is treating you well," Natsu said as they greeted one another.

"This life does have its perks my King, especially since I'm classified as an Ultimate-Class Devil that gives me quite a lot of freedom. I have however not forgotten my true origins and never will," Tannin said. Even though he was a devil now his first loyalty will always lie with The True Dragon King above all.
