Chisa's P.O.V.
My name is Chisa. I am a servant to lady Yuki Barbatus (originally Valefor) and I'm proud to say that I am good at my job. I help clean the mansion and provide anything else my lady might want.
My life is very good, even if a bit boring since my Lady stopped participating in rating games after she got married.
Well, the boringness stopped a few years ago thanks the new additions to the house.
The two small children that run all around the mansion non-stop nowadays, Peko and Joseph, are a mouthful. Joseph in particular is someone that I'll never get tired of messing with.
I don't know who taught him that training regime that he loves to do so much, but it is clear as day that he is not normal.
He is more mature and responsible than any kid his age should be, he is also absurdly talented and smart. A perfect heir to the house of Barbatus.
However my master said he should wait until he is 5 years old before he starts training in earnest, but I talked to the house head and he said to start teaching him in swordsmanship as this is the bread and butter for the house of Barbatus, the house with the specialty involving their unique and powerful swords.
As he approached me I could not help but marvel at how he looked. He had a very fit body for one so young, his hair was very lush and with a brilliant gold that matched well with his azure blue eyes.
All in all he looked like he had the best parts possible from both his parents. I can already imagine how many girls will be running after him before long, and I could bet Peko-Chan will be one of them, and probably will try to remove the competition.
"So? Where is the instructor for today?" Young master said, not even trying to hide his boredom anymore.
I smiled at this, I just want to see how long he can keep this nonchalant facade when he hears what I have to say.
"Today we will be doing something different. We will be using the Barbatus' house trait for the first time!" I said excitedly, and sure enough he was almost jumping in joy from my words.
This is something he wanted to try out since the first time he heard what the trait was. And it is understandable since this is a trait that will help him in getting much stronger while also helping him in deciding his future path. "Now, repeat to me what the trait is in your own words."
He nodded before he recited what he knew about it.
"The trait of house Barbatus is soul weaponification. It allows for one to release a small part of his soul and turn it into a sword. This sword has two possible forms after you grow strong enough and the characteristics of it is intrinsically related to the individual whom made it. The blade also looses all its powers in case it isn't the user that has it in hands so stealing it is known as a useless matter." young master said, and he, as always, was absolutely correct.
This house trait is extremely versatile, but in exchange no one knows how strong the blade will be or if it is even useful for direct combat. There have been cases of those from the house who had weapons capable of healing, sealing, and many other unique powers which differ from user to user.
"Correct. Your father authorized me to help you in this process so as to make sure you have it ready before the party of tomorrow night. He would be here right now if he could, as you know VERY well, but he had a meeting with the council about what to do with a Nekoshou that went out of control. The situation at least is not the worst possible since they captured her, if not, the more BONE HEADED members would do something stupid like start a purge."
Weird, why is young master's face pale right now?
"Young master is everything alright? You look a little pale."

Joseph's P.O.V.
Shit, wasn't this supposed to happen years down the line? Why is it happening now?
No time for that, I must plan what I must do carefully or I WILL die. I am just 4, I don't want to die until I am at least a few thousand years old!
Wait, calm down me. Freaking out now isn't going to solve anything. What I have to do is talk to father to see what I can do. Maybe he would let her stay with us, but for that I need to impress him enough to make him do what I ask.
He loves to spoil me anyway.
Sigh, now that I am calmer we can start the process.
"It's nothing, I am just curious as to what happened. Maybe there is more to it that it seems." I told Chisa, and if I am not wrong she believes my lie.
"Okay, then it is time to start the process." Chisa said, taking out a sword handle. It wasn't anything fancy but it still was quite beautiful in its own way. "Put your hand on this and focus everything you have on it. If everything goes well, a sword will manifest and you will be a proper Barbatus heir." Chisa said with a radiant smile.
Okay, so I just have to put my hand here and focus, huh.
As I put my hand on the handle I felt a burning sensation spread around my body, almost like I was on fire. But, this did not stop me as I let said fire fully 'consume' me before I redirected it back to the handle.
And with that my weapon, one that would one day cause fear in the hearts of many, was born.
The strongest magical blade for the one that would one day be called the strongest devil of all times.
