Klaus exuded confidence, drawing from the wealth of experience and knowledge acquired in his past life and the extensive manuscripts he had devoured in Ludovic's library. As one of the greatest geniuses of his time in his previous existence, the Zagerfield family spared no expense in fostering his prodigious talents, ensuring his growth knew no bounds.

[Do You Want To Seal the Bet?]
'Oh! It can even facilitate something like this. How intriguing,' Klaus contemplated as the message notification materialized.
"So, Greed, is that a yes?" Klaus inquired.
{Of course,} Greed replied eagerly, anticipating Klaus's potential failure.
"Yes," Klaus affirmed, a crescent smile playing on his lips.

[The Bet Was Successfully Sealed]
A peculiar rune manifested on Klaus's left hand, mirroring its appearance on the eccentric sword hilt.
Klaus scrutinized the rune with a perplexed look. {It's called a 'Celestial Vow.' It ensures both parties uphold their end of the bargain,} Greed explained, noticing Klaus's curiosity.
"Good," Klaus responded with a grin, now confident that Greed would be obligated to keep his word.
"Shall we commence?" Klaus asked, impatience evident in his tone, eager to delve into the teachings of a formidable swordsmanship from Greed.
To counter the escalating killing intent, Klaus opened his three-mind eyes, disrupting the oppressive atmosphere. "How can someone as great as you be a sore loser?" Klaus teased, wiping cold sweat from his forehead.
{You cheated!} Greed accused, his voice filled with anger. Klaus was relieved that only he could hear Greed's voice, preventing others from thinking a demon spoke.
The rune on Klaus's hand shone briefly before vanishing, and the one on Greed's hilt glowed ominously.
{Wait, wait! Arrrrarggrgrrggg!} Greed started to scream in pain, leaving Klaus bewildered.
'Is it because of this strange mark?' Klaus pondered, observing the rune shining in purple.
'I almost feel pity for him,' Klaus thought, watching Greed scream in agony for almost five minutes

{I will keep my word,} Greed said, his tone now respectful.
"I know you will," Klaus replied, laughing internally.
{Hmm, you better memorize it perfectly. I won't show it to you ever again,} Greed said before the red line that was rushing from his hilt to his tip started to shine in blue color.
Sword movements and footwork started to appear in Klaus's mind. The ephemeral spectacle lasted only a few seconds, yet Klaus felt as if he had been immersed in it for hours. A grey silhouette held Greed inside a pitch-white space, executing extraordinarily powerful sword movements that left Klaus in awe.
"Powerful," Klaus muttered before the angelic ding snapped him back to reality.
