Dawn arrived, and with it began a new day.
Sunlight passed through the window and fell upon a handsome face.
"Mm…"
Slowly, Qin Xiao opened his eyes.
He sat up and instinctively reached toward the bedside, trying to grab his phone—
but touched nothing.
The next moment, his memories returned.
Shaking his head slightly, Qin Xiao remembered that he had already transmigrated.
In this new world, he could barely guarantee his basic food and survival for the next few days.
As for a phone?
That didn't exist.
He got up, stretched lazily, and walked into the bathroom.
When he saw the "green-haired person" in the mirror, the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth twitched.
There was no denying that Enkidu's template was definitely a Golden Legend.
But why did inheriting the power also mean inheriting the appearance?
His shoulder-length green hair looked extremely eye-catching.
Maybe it was normal in a 2D anime world, but in modern society it would absolutely turn heads everywhere.
Not only that—
Even his eye color had turned green.
His original black hair and black eyes, typical of someone from China, were completely gone.
Still, Qin Xiao sighed with relief about one thing.
He was still himself.
His face was still basically the same—just upgraded several levels.
Now he looked much more beautiful, with slightly androgynous features.
Looking at his green hair in the mirror, Qin Xiao sighed again.
After washing up simply—without any skincare products—
not because he didn't want to, but because he was poor.
But with Enkidu's physique, his skin was already naturally perfect.
Calling it "flawless and delicate" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
No wonder the internet had so many Gilgamesh × Enkidu CP fans.
They really did match well.
He changed into the Kuoh Academy uniform.
His long green hair fell naturally over his shoulders.
Honestly, if he wore a female uniform, anyone looking from the side would probably think he was a goddess-level beauty.
Picking up the schoolbag he prepared yesterday—
there was nothing inside.
After all, he hadn't officially reported yet.
He would receive textbooks later.
To be honest, as a Chinese university graduate, Qin Xiao had already experienced:
Nine years of compulsory education
Three years of high school
Three years of university
Plus countless tutoring classes
At this point, he felt very resistant toward studying.
Fortunately, this was Japan.
Compared with China, the academic pressure here was much lighter.
Besides—
This was a 2D world.
The main storyline was never about studying.
It was about the supernatural world.
And most importantly—
As someone with a university degree, attending Kuoh Academy classes now was like a max-level player entering the beginner village.
He could easily handle everything.
Even if he forgot some knowledge, reviewing it a few times would bring it back.
After all, forgetting something and never learning it are completely different things.
After cooking himself a simple bowl of noodles and eating breakfast, Qin Xiao left the house.
Since the transfer notice included a map of Kuoh Academy, he wasn't worried about getting lost.
It didn't take long before he arrived at a place that looked like a prestigious private school.
Just judging from the architecture and decoration—
this place was clearly not ordinary.
Private Kuoh Academy.
The school Qin Xiao was about to attend.
Looking around, he saw students arriving in groups.
Kuoh Academy had originally been an all-girls school, and had only recently become co-ed.
So the number of girls was still far higher than the number of boys.
Girls wearing Kuoh Academy uniforms—
short skirts, stockings, outdoor shoes—
were completely different from Chinese school uniforms.
It was truly a pleasant sight.
Compared to Chinese uniforms, this place felt like heaven.
But at the same time—
Qin Xiao himself attracted plenty of attention the moment he arrived at the school gate.
His appearance was simply too outstanding.
Handsome face
Long emerald-green hair
Unique aura
Even though he wore the male uniform, some girls still thought he might actually be a girl.
And because of the natural aura inherited from Enkidu, Qin Xiao gave off a feeling similar to nature itself.
People instinctively felt calm near him and wanted to approach and talk to him.
"Is that him?"
Inside the school building, three famous figures of Kuoh Academy were watching him.
Rias Gremory
Akeno Himejima
Koneko Toujou
"Yes, President," Koneko replied, nodding slightly.
Her gaze flickered subtly when she saw Qin Xiao again.
"Quite impressive," Rias said.
"Oh my, are you interested already, Rias?" Akeno teased.
"Of course."
"He possesses a chain-type Sacred Gear and is strong enough to instantly defeat a Stray Devil."
"If we don't recruit such talent, it would be a huge loss."
"Well then, you'd better act quickly."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
Akeno pointed downward.
"Look."
Following her gaze, Rias looked below.
Two figures were already walking toward Qin Xiao.
One was a girl with a refined intellectual beauty, followed by another tall woman with long black hair reaching her waist.
They were heading straight toward him.
"Sona…"
Rias's eyes narrowed slightly.
The girl approaching was Sona Sitri.
Just like Rias, she was also a devil noble princess, the future heir of the Sitri Clan, one of the 72 Pillars of the Underworld.
She was also the Student Council President of Kuoh Academy.
The tall beauty behind her was Tsubaki Shinra, her Queen piece and the vice president of the student council.
Rias and Sona were the same age.
Both were daughters of noble families.
They had been friends and rivals since childhood.
Whether it was:
Family background
Strength
Status
They were nearly identical.
Both were princesses of the upper-ranked noble families of the 72 Pillars.
Their siblings were Demon Kings in the Underworld.
And both were the sole heirs to their clans.
Because their circumstances were so similar—
their rivalry had lasted since childhood.
In everything, they always tried to outdo each other.
That included their peerage servants.
Neither of them had a complete peerage yet.
Competing to recruit talented servants was completely normal.
At the moment, neither side clearly had the advantage.
"Akeno, Koneko, let's go."
"We can't let Sona get there first."
"Yes, President."
"Okay."
The three immediately ran downstairs.
And they moved quickly.
After all—
they were not ordinary humans.
Students passing by weren't surprised.
In Kuoh Academy, Rias wasn't just the campus idol queen.
She was also known as the sports queen.
Many athletic records set by Rias and Sona still hadn't been broken.
Meanwhile, outside—
Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra had already reached Qin Xiao.
They stood directly in front of him.
And the two sides finally met face to face.
