A month had passed since classes started, and Kozue was heading towards the occult research club.
Toc Toc
"enters"
When he arrived at the door, he knocked twice and heard Rias's voice, who allowed him to enter.
"Kozue, did you come because you agreed to become part of my peerage?" Rias said with a smile while watching anime with Koneko and Akeno.
During this past month, Rias always took advantage of the opportunity when they were in the middle of the school to urge her to change her mind, causing Kozue to be the object of hatred and envy from the men and many women in the school.
Kozue just shrugged when she felt the murderous stares and went on with her day when that happened.
"No, Rias, I came here because I wanted to ask you for help with something."
Upon hearing that Kozue needed help, Rias listened attentively because she could convince Kozue to become part of her peerage.
Soon, Kozue told her what she wanted, and Rias thought about it for a while before answering.
"My family has many magic books"
"Yes, we signed a contract; you can borrow these books in exchange for a certain amount of money."
"If you don't have money, the payment can be exchanged for a favor that I can claim in the future."
"Of course, if you were part of my Nobility, payment wouldn't be necessary," Rias finished, smiling.
Although she could immediately demand that Kozue join her peerage in exchange for magic books, Rias knew that would only offend Kozue and push him away from her.
Kozue smiled at Rias's last comment and shook her head.
He only came because by ordering magic books now, he'll have an excuse in the future when he's forced to use magic in front of other people.
After all, he was supposed to have had no contact with the supernatural world previously, so it would be suspicious if he could suddenly use magic.
Even so, he was pleased that Rias did not take this opportunity to bring him into his nobility.
Kozue's refusal depressed Rias a little, but she quickly cheered up because she had an idea.
"Okay, we'll talk about payment another time."
"The important thing is that I can get you these magic books, but learning magic isn't easy, so you'll need someone to teach and guide you."
Rias quickly seized the opportunity to get her peerage members to interact more with Kozue in the future.
Kozue did not refuse and signed a contract with Rias.
The payment for having these magic books on loan was a certain amount of money and a little more for the tutoring he would receive from Akeno.
Akeno was the member of her peerage who specialized in magic, so she was the only one who could be Kozue's magic tutor.
"Take care of me," Kozue said to Akeno after signing the contract.
Akeno received the greeting and formally introduced herself.
"The requirement for humans to use magic is to have enough magical energy and to do calculations," said the fallen half-angel.
"The first thing you will do is feel and try to control your magical energy"
"I'll help you feel your magic energy," Akeno said before standing behind Kozue and placing her hands on her back.
Suddenly…
BOOOOOOOM
A great pressure fell upon everyone in the room, and they looked in surprise at Kozue.
What Akeno did was stimulate Kozue's magical energy to come out and make it easier for the young man to take control of him.
What he didn't expect was that Kozue's magical energy would be equal to his own and would spill throughout the room.
"Take control of your magical energy and return it to your body!" Akeno shouted.
And instantly, everyone felt the pressure disappear.
At the same time, everyone looked at Kozue in surprise.
Although this pressure was not something they couldn't handle, everyone was surprised that this amount of magical energy was possessed by a young man who was just about to learn magic.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Kozue had been learning magic for a long time, she just prepared for that occasion and sealed a part of her magical energy.
Otherwise, she would have far surpassed Akeno and everyone would have been on the floor from the pressure.
"It's incredible, you have so much magical energy, Kozue!" Rias shouted after recovering from her surprise.
His desire to unite Kozue with his nobility only increased.
After drawing her magical energy into her body, Kozue sighed as a thin line of magical energy ran down her arms.
After all, he had to act like a child who was given a new toy in front of everyone.

Booooom
Booooom
Booooom
In a training room, Akeno and Kozue cast lightning spells on each other while dodging their opponents' attacks.
Several weeks had passed since Akeno became her Magic tutor, and since then Kozue had not missed any of their meetings.
SLASSSSH
A lightning cannon fell on the ground behind Kozue, leaving a mark several meters long.
Kozue, who had dodged the lightning cannon, appeared a few meters from Akeno and raised her hand before releasing several lightning spikes.
Seeing the lightning bolts approaching her, Akeno realized she wouldn't have time to dodge and hurriedly raised a shield to defend herself.
CRACK
But it wasn't enough.
The shield cracked with the first lightning bolt and was completely destroyed upon receiving the other projectiles.
Ahh~!
The lightning bolts, which had nothing in their path, fell on Akeno's body, causing her to let out a scream.
Upon hearing Akeno's scream, Kozue wondered if it was painful or pleasurable for the fallen half-angel.
"You caught me this time"
"You're improving a lot," Akeno said, smiling flirtatiously.
Her clothes were torn in many places, leaving a lot of skin visible, including her stomach, legs, and chest.
She also brought her arms together under her breasts to lift them.
Although Rias asked her to seduce Kozue and try to convince him to join her peerage, Akeno had to confess that she was enjoying her time with the young man in front of her.
He was not only handsome, but also a genius.
He quickly learned everything she taught him and now he could give her an even fight.
Ever since they tied in a game, she longed to be reunited with him.
And not only because of its appearance, but it also benefited from its improvement in battle.
Since they started fighting each other, Akeno had improved a lot.
Not only had his spellcasting time decreased considerably, but his battle awareness had flourished.
"One more time!" said Akeno, and the two young people continued their training battle.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
Fists wrapped in Touki collided in the middle of a training field, producing powerful bursts of air around them.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
The two figures that collided in the middle of the room constantly move backward and forward before striking their rival.
BOOOOOOOM
And with one final collision, they both flew backward, their feet leaving marks on the ground.
When both figures stopped, their identities were revealed.
Era Kozue y Koneko.
Kozue has not only been training with Akeno, but also with Koneko, Kiba, and Rias.
Unlike Akeno, with whom he practiced magical skills, he trains his physical skills with Koneko, his sword skills with Kiba, and his other battle skills with Rias to deal with his destructive power.
Like Akeno, Kozue also signed a contract with the rest to have training battles.
Of course, it's not that Kozue needs them, but she did it to build relationships with Rias and her peerage.
As much as he tried to stay out of the plot, he wasn't willing to leave the fate of the world in Issei's hands, so he was determined to get involved from the start.
When she decided to get involved in the plot, she knew she had to maintain friendly relationships with the main characters, so for now she will start with Rias and her nobility.
What about Sona?
Kozue hoped that she would approach him when she noticed the improvement in Rias's peerage skills.
In this way, he will have friendly relations with the younger sisters of two of the leaders of the demonic race.
Hahh Hahh Hahh
Unlike Kozue, who kept her breathing steady, Koneko was panting heavily to get more oxygen into her lungs.
"Hahh... you're strong, Kozue... Hahh"
"...Hahh... I don't think I can defeat you... Hahh," Koneko said sadly while panting.
"Don't underestimate yourself, Koneko. You've improved a lot since we started training."
"You are much stronger now than when we first met," Kozue said with a smile, trying to cheer up the young woman.
Upon hearing Kozue's words, Koneko thought for a moment and realized that Kozue was right.
