READER'S POV

After classes were over for the day, Mammon was sitting next to me and I told him about the advice that I got from Beel and Satan.

"So let me get this straight, you're tellin' me that Beel and Satan both gave you hints for how to defeat Levi?"

"Yeah, in my opinion, I think they just want to see Levi lose," I spoke with a smirk.

"Ya don't say...how VERY interesting..." Mammon mumbled before smirking.

"Well, ya know why they did that thought, right? it's all because I'm lookin' after ya. You've got to thank mammon for this!"

'Looking after me, my butt...he practically threatened to leave me to the other demons as a snack because he couldn't be bothered until now,' I thought to myself.

"Okay, here's the deal. Those two are givin' you special treatment because they know that I'm the one in charge of you. They want me to be pleased with them, ya see! So, whaddya think about that? NOW you get it, doncha! It's clear how important I am, and how much my younger brothers respect me!"

"*giggle* Yeah, I suppose you're right," I spoke with a smile.

'Not!!'

"Wh...hey! Come on, it feels weird when you agree with me like that. I mean, doncha think you should've taken that opportunity to put me down or somethin'."

"I thought about it but, I'll let it go for now."

I spoke with a smirk before he shook his head.

"Ugh, forget it. Let's just get down to business. You and me need to figure out what our strategy's gonna be with this Levi thing."

"Yeah, you're right," I told him before I got my serious face on.

"First off, what Beel told you is right. If you can make Levi jealous, he's bound to lose his cool. Though there's no guarantee he won't kill ya if that happens. But, that's just how it's gotta be. There's no way you'll beat Levi in a competition over who's the bigger TSL nerd. Not if you fight fair. You'd best face up to the fact that this is gonna involve a little risk."

"I know but, the question is; how am I going to make him jealous until he snaps?"

"Hmm... Maybe we oughta ask someone for advice."

I had a little think and then I remembered Satan's advice.

"That's it!"

"What's what?" Mammon asked me in a surprised tone.

"Satan gave me some advice about asking Simeon about TSL because he knows something about the next novel that has yet to be released. Maybe there's something he can tell us about the book that Levi doesn't. That can give me an advantage."

"That does make a good plan but, why would Simeon know what's gonna happen in the next TSL book when it's not even out yet?"

"That's a good question," I mumbled because I was wondering about that myself.

"Eh, whatever. Let's just go and talk to him and see what he says."

"Right."

Mammon and I stood up and then we left the classroom to find Simeon. I hope his advice will help me figure out how to make Levi jealous. 

LATER ON THAT DAY....

"All right, everyone! Finally, the wait is over! it's time for Devil's Trivia Showdown, the quiz show that pits demon against human!" Asmo spoke cheerfully.

"Today our competitors will be testing their knowledge regarding a super-famous, super- popular fantasy series. One that's known by young and old alike... The tale of the Seven Lords! Now it's time to introduce our two competitors. First, he's a demon who freely admits to being a giant TSL nerd! Meet Leviathan!"

"I am the G.O.A.T. None can oppose me!" Levi spoke happily.

"And his challenger claims to have been introduced to TSL only very recently after binge watching the DVDs! Say hello to (Y/n)!"

"You're going down, Leviathan," I spoke with confidence.

"You binge-watched the DVDs ONCE. That's it! The fact that you would dare challenge me is an insult to TSL itself. It's sacrilege! it's so infuritating that I can't even feel the anger. I can only laugh. AHAHAHA!"

'Oh dear...he's getting fired up. But, I hope it doesn't come back to bite me and I mean that literally.'

I thought to myself as I sweat dropped a little before Asmo spoke up.

"Serving as judge for today's competition is our very own Demon Lord himself, Diavolo!"

"Hello there, everyone. Good to see you."

"Colour commentary will be provided by Satan, Avatar of Wrath. But a good commentator needs to keep a cool head. I wonder, is he really up to the task?" Asmo wondered.

"I don't think that's going to be a problem. So, I'm doing the commentary? That's a lot of responsibility," Satan spoke with a smile.

"Now, say hello to our guest demon, the always-famished Beelzebud! For his appearance fee, he requested to be compensated in cheeseburgers. How very Beel of him..."

I glanced at Beel and he was happily munching away on some burgers, no surprise there.

"*munch* *chew* Nothing beats one of Hell's kitchen's special cheeseburgers. They age the cheese 400 years for maximum flavor," Beel commented as he carried on eating.

"And your host for the day is none other than yours truly, Asmodeus. The demon who can make you swoon simply by whispering into your ear. You all know me, you all love me."

I leaned closer to Levi and I asked him.

"Since when did our little quiz become some kind of game show?"

"I have no idea...." Levi mumbled as I stood back from him.

"All right, enough. This gettin' ridiculous. Let's get this show on the road!" Mammon shouted.

"I thought you hated wasting your time at events like this, Mammon. Yet here you are. Truly, wonders never cease," Lucifer commented.

"Shut up, Lucifer. I've got free time, that's all."

I shook my head at him before Asmo spoke up again.

"Well then, we'll start with you, (Y/n). Get ready for TSL Quiz question number one! The seven lords are all brothers and each has a specific name that people know them by. In birth order, name the oldest, second oldest, and third oldest Lords."

"Corruption, then Fools and then Shadow," I answered.

"Well, how about that! You're absolutely correct! Way to start the game off on the right foot, (Y/n)!" Asmo complimented me.

"Oh come on. Any body could've gotten that one right," Levi grumbled.

"Mm, my cheeseburgers came with onion rings, the King of all side items. Yum."

"Just thinking about food is making me hungry," Shadow whispered from the darkness.

"Shh, be quiet," I whispered before Asmo asked Levi.

"All right, Leviathan, it's your turn. Here comes question number one! IN what year did the Lord of shadows build the Blue Palace for imaginary mistress?"

"Year 693 of the ancient era," Levi answered with a small frown.

"Correct What an impressive showing from self-described TSL nerd!"

"In me you bear witness to a legend!" Levi spoke with a smirk.

"Until now, loser..." I mumbled.

"What was that?!" Levi shouted.

"Nothing~!" I spoke with a cheeky smile.

"Even so, is it just me or was that question a little too specific? Only a mega nerd would know that," Satan commented.

"*chuckle* This is shaping up to be quite entertaining, isn't it. Lucifer?" Diavolo asked him.

"I'm glad you find it to your liking, Diavolo."

Turning his attention back to us, Asmo asked us the next question.

"All right, back to you, (Y/n)! Get ready for TSL Quiz question number two! The sixth lord is the Lord of Flies. What does he love to eat more than anything else?"

"That would be a cursed goat tartare sandwich with cheese."

"Correct! very impressive! That was a tough one! You really do know you your stuff don't you?!"

'I guess all those weeks working at Hell's kitchen finally came in handy,' I thought to myself before Asmo asked Beel.

"A cursed goat tartare sandwich with cheese... Is that sort of like a cheeseburger, more or less?"

"..." Beel didn't say anything because he was too busy imagining that cheeseburger and he wished he was eating it. How do I know it's because he has drool coming out of his mouth.

"Hey, Beel! come on! Take a napkin to that stream of drool comin' outta your mouth! It's gettin' all over my clothes!"

I snickered his reaction before Asmo turned his attention back to Levi.

"Now back to Mr Reliable himself, Leviathan! Here comes question number two! In Tale of the Seven Lords Volume 3, page 724, what does the Lord of Fools say in the fifth line from the top?"

"'Money is my dearest friend and closest companion. It's everything to me. The blood bonds I share with my brothers are like the weak, wispy threads of a spider by comparison,'" Levi answered with a grin.

"Amazing! That is correct! An exact match word for word!" Asmo spoke in a cheerful tone.

"The more I learn about the Lord of Fools, the clearer it is that he's a total scumbag," Satan commented while glancing at Mammon.

"...Hey, why does it feel like you're insulting ME right now?"

"Maybe that's because you're exactly like the Lord of Fools both scumbags and an idiot," I told Mammon making Satan, Beel, Asmo, Levi and Diavolo burst into laughter while Lucifer chuckled.

"Hey! don't laugh at me! stop it!! shut up!!" Mammon shouted at them.

Once laughter died down, Asmo managed to get back his composure before asking.

"*ahem* moving on...it's your turn now, (Y/n)! Say hello to question number three! This regarding the fifth brother, the Lord of Lechery. Who does he love more than anyone else?"

"That's easy, he loves himself," I replied.

"Well, well! Excellent! You are absolutely right! So, the fifth Lord loves himself above all else. I like that. Sounds like my kind of guy."

"Come on, hurry up! Let's go! it's my turn now," Levi complained.

"Leviathan, you've gotten every single question correct thus far. But prepare yourself because question three is coming at you! In volume 4 of the DVD series, at exactly 159 minutes and 35 seconds in, what is the Lord of Masks holding in his left hand?"

"He's holding a flower from a carnivorous grodoodle plant, grown by the Lord of Corruption."

"Excellent! That only flashed on screen for the briefest of moments, and yet you still caught it! Amazing! Your knowledge truly is extensive! In fact, I'd even say it's creepy!"

"Hey, is it just me or have all of my questions been way harder than (Y/n)'s? Like, suspiciously harder. Though they're still so easy for me that I'm ready to fall asleep here. Anyway, how long are we going to keep this charade up? This is getting boring," Levi complained.

I glanced at Mammon and he said to me.

"Yep, I'd say it has. All right, (Y/n), it's time to pull out the big guns! Let's see how Levi here likes your trump card!"

I nodded my head before Mammon looked at Levi.

"Levi, you're way too full of yourself. Which is why we're about to reach inside ya, yank out that pride, and crush it like a bug!"

"Exactly what he said," I told him with a smirk.

"What...?" Levi asked in a surprised tone.

"Well, well, interesting..." Diavolo commented.

"Wow! it sounds to me like the gauntlet has just been thrown down! It would seem (Y/n) has some sort of trump card to use against Leviathan! Perhaps now would be a good time to check in with out colour commentator. Satan, what do you think this could be about?" Asmo asked him.

"Well, it's not at all surprising that (Y/n) would come into this with a secret weapon. It seems that the advice I gave her is about to pay some dividends. Excellent," Satan spoke with a smirk on his face.

"Just a minute...Satan, are you telling us that you provided air to (Y/n)? how very wicked of you! I suppose this would be a good time to get your take on this as well, Beel," Asmo asked him.

"If you want to hear what I have to say, it's going to cost you. Let's say one extra-large bowl of katsudon and some miso soup to go along with that."

"OK, who's idea was it to invite Beel to this, huh?! He's done nothing but eat this entire time!"

"Well, what did you expect? his stomach is practically bottomless," I commented before Asmo spoke up

"In any event, if (Y/n) really does have a secret weapon, it could mean something that will make winning against Leviathan possible! Perhaps we should hear what (Y/n)'s opponent thinks about this. Tell me Levi, what's running through your head right now?!"

"ROFLMAO! loooooooooooooooooooool!!"

I sweat dropped when I saw that reaction but I'm about to crush it at any moment now.

"Right...I have absolutely no idea what you're saying! But clearly you don't see this as a threat... got it! so, what could this trump card of (Y/n)'s be?! Let's find out...!

I smirked at Levi and then I began to summarise the major plot developments in the as-of-yet unreleased TSL volume 9. Levi looked at me with a shocked look after I revealed this to him.

"Wh...what...? ...NO! That's insane...the Lord of Masks wouldn't do that to the Lord of Shadow."

"I'm afraid he does," I spoke with a smirk.

"Lies, all of it! Pure hogwash! don't think you can fool me by making up random stuff like that!" Levi shouted at me with a frown.

'Hehehe...he's gonna lose it at any given moment.'

I thought to myself before Diavolo spoke up.

"Hmm. Actually, (Y/n) doesn't appear to be lying as far as I can see."

"Levi, you know as well as I do that Lord Diavolo has the ability to discern whether someone is telling the truth."

Levi looked so shocked right now after hearing Satan telling this to him.

"B-But...no...! Everyone online has been talking about how the Lord of Masks and the Lord of Shadow are totally going to make up... what you said CAN'T happen! It...it just CAN'T!"

Levi looked furious right now but, of all the moments, Mammon decided to open his big mouth.

"Huh, so all that stuff Simeon told you was true then? How about that. Still though how is it that he knows all that?" Mammon asked out loud.

"All right, um... okay, I suppose that settles who the true TSl nerd is..."

"I won't stand for this," Levi spoke up.

"All you did was stay up one night marathoning the DVDs. The idea that someone like YOU could actually be a bigger TSL fan than me, it's..."

"Wh-whoa, calm down there, Levi...!" Mammon shouted as he tried to calm him down.

"No...no, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIIIIS!" Levi shouted before transformed into his demon form.

"Oh crap!" I shouted as I took a few steps back from him.

"Uh-oh...! (Y/n), run! Get out of here!"

"Mammon! Help!" I shouted before I made a run for it but, Levi was on my tail.

"(Y/n)! dammit, I'm not gonna make it in time...!"

Levi was about to pounce on me and I braced myself for the impact after falling onto the ground.

"That's enough."
