''Indeed I can. I just need you to follow me outside and I can show you.'' I said before I turned around and started to leave the store betting that her curiosity won't let me simply walk away.

The moment I left the shop I was proven right as before the door could close behind me a twister of crimson rose petals rushed out after me.

The cyclone dissipated after stopping my way leaving behind one unamused young girl. Her semblance was remarkable I could barely track her as she passed me.

''Is this the part where you offer me cookies to get in your white van?'' she asked.

''No white van I'm afraid but we can get cookies later if you like,'' I responded, easily ignoring the insult.

''So here we are Mister Devil, Where is your proof?'' nodding to her I started walking down the street before answering.

''This way it's better if we do this out of sight'' I made my way to a nearby alley. The sound of Ruby's booths behind me let me know she was following me.

''Tell me Miss Rose, what do you know about The Devil? I asked curious about how the people of Remnant saw my race.

''Red guy, big trident, eternal punishment, that kind of thing.'' She responded. I could feel her eyes glaring holes in the back of my head.

Surprised at the not unfamiliar views that this place held of devil-kind I moved on with the conversation as we approached the alleyway.

''so what would be enough proof for you to believe that I'm the devil?'' I asked, looking at her once we were out of sight, taking comfort in the fact that this particular alley didn't smell like the last one.

Seeing her biting her lower lip softly as she pondered my question, I couldn't help but want to pat her head at how cute she looked. Even before her glow-up in the later volumes she was adorable.

''You doing something impossible.'' She finally replied.

At some point from the start of our little chat and now she had lowered her guard, whatever because she was honestly starting to believe this possible or the absurdity of the situation as a whole I couldn't care less.

''Like growing wings?'' I asked.

Not giving her time to think on my question I simply extended my devil wings. Her eyes widened in surprise as she had seen my back a second ago and there was no indication of my having wings before.

''Maybe you are a faunus?'' she asked her voice wavering slightly.

''With horns and a tail?'' While I didn't have those appendages it was easy to use my magic to create them with illusions, It was a little difficult not using a magic circle to help my control but it was well within my capabilities.

''Maybe you have an illusion-based semblance'' she tried to explain with her shaking voice.

She wasn't wrong in thinking that there were illusions involved.

Instead of answering he closed the distance between them and extended his right wing for her to check.

Her small hand softly caressed his leathery wing her eyes full of uncertainty at the confirmation that it was real.

''Some… Some form of solid illusory semblance then.'' She explained.

Closing the distance even further he took pleasure in seeing the widening of her eyes as her back hit the wall.

His wings, enlarged to each be bigger than she was with a flex of magical power, encircling them cutting her way out.

Before she could say anything he raised his left hand stopping when it was in front of them both.

In the middle of his palm, a small magic circle bearing the crest of house Gremory appeared, and a moment later a small floating ball of fire followed suit.

''What now Love?'' he whispered enjoying the sound of her increasing heartbeat with his supernatural hearing.

''Dust container under your sleeve.'' She tried next but he could see it in her enchanting silver eyes, she was running out of excuses.

Caring more for the theatrics of the action and to unbalance her further than the practicality of it he channelled a minuscule portion of his Power of Destruction across his shirt and jacket, erasing them from existence a couple of seconds later as if incinerated by an unseen flame.

He moved even closer his right hand pressed against the wall by the side of her head.

He could feel her quick and short breaths against his face.

The light of the fire revealed the fact that she was blushing again.

''No sleeves nor dust, What's your next excuse, Ruby.'' He made sure to whisper lightly in her ear.

''It…'' she started her voice trembling. ''It could still be some solid illusion.''

''Solid enough that you can feel the heat of the fire in your face? That you could touch my wings with your hands?'' I asked teasingly with a smile.

''Yes,'' she whispered her response.

The flame dissipated before my left hand moved to the side of her hip while my right moved behind her head.

Pulling her close to my chest I flexed my wing and took off up to the skies before she could resist.

With my ki-based flight technique adding my magical-based racial method, we swiftly roused over Vale's skyline 10 seconds afterwards.

It took a moment for Ruby to reorient herself before she looked around realizing what had happened.

Fear. Realization. Wonder.

So many emotions I saw flash behind her lovely silver eyes at that moment.

''Solid illusions strong and complex enough for this beautiful?'' I teased her softly.

She focused her sight on me and I could see her grasping at straws in her mind for any explanation that could deny the undeniable.

''Hypnosis semblance.'' Ruby tried this time. It was her last resort. One final bastion in which she could hide from the truth.

And we both know it would not last.

''If I could just make you believe something like this why would I go to such lengths for you to believe my words?'' I said, hammering the final nail in the coffin of her denial.
