Start a Core Pod

 Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai came to the school, and according to Rias' request, he found the occult research room located in the old school building.

"Hi teacher."

When Duanmuhuai walked into the occult research room, Rias was already waiting for him.

  And it’s not just Rias who is waiting for him.

Standing next to Rias is Akeno Himejima, a girl with a high ponytail and a smile that looks like Yamato Nadeshiko. Sitting on the sofa, sipping snacks, is a petite girl like a junior high school student with short white hair, Tashiro Koneko, while sitting on the other side is the handsome blond boy Kiba Yu. fight……

 Well, they are all well-known figures in the school.

As a teacher, Duanmuhuai must remember the names of his students. These people had actually taken his class, but Duanmuhuai didn't pay much attention to them at the time.

 Since they are here, it means...

 “Are you all demons?”

"exactly."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Rias nodded, and then several others stood up. Then Duanmuhuai saw pairs of bat-like wings spread out behind them... and seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai He just narrowed his eyes and then looked away.

"This is really interesting...Okay, now you can tell me why you came to me, Gremory-san."

 “Just call me Rias, teacher.”

Rias sat on the chair again and stared at Duanmuhuai.

“To be honest, although I have always felt the aura emanating from the teacher’s body, I never expected that the thing that resides in the teacher’s body would be such a powerful artifact...”

　　　…………”

Duanmu Huai said nothing. He could guess why the other party thought so. The reason is very simple. Duanmuhuai is a real god, and he will naturally have the aura of **** on his body. Of course, for most people, whether they are humans, angels, fallen angels or demons, I am afraid they cannot imagine the existence of a **** personally descending to the lower world. Therefore, whether it is the fallen angel who attacked him yesterday or Rias now, they all instinctively He believes that there is a divine weapon in his body, which is why he has this kind of aura.

Hmm...a wonderful misunderstanding, but Duanmuhuai has no intention of clarifying it.

 “But teacher, do you know that your current situation is not good?”

 Speaking of this, Rias's expression became serious.

"You attacked the members of the fallen angel clan in the church and killed them all... This will naturally cause hostility on the part of the fallen angels. I think they will probably attack you next. I think you will also I don’t want to live in the pursuit of fallen angels all day long.”

 To be honest, I don’t really mind.

 Duanmu Huai’s expression remained unchanged on his face, but he didn’t care in his heart. He was just fighting, he was used to it. But he guessed that what Rias said was just the beginning, and the rest was the drama.

 Sure enough, Rias changed her tune.

 “But, there is a way to help teachers solve this problem.”

"any solution?"

 “It’s very simple.”

Rias looked at Duanmuhuai and said with a smile.

"As long as the teacher is reincarnated into my demon dependent, that's all. Our Gremory family is quite famous. As long as the teacher becomes my demon dependent, it will be difficult for the fallen angels or other forces to take action against the teacher. Because in that case, they would be at war with the Gremory family..."

 “Then what do you want to get?”

　Until then, Duanmuhuai looked at Rias and asked.

"Since you want to win me over in this way, you must have some intention."

"certainly."

Rias was not at all embarrassed by Duanmu Huai's explanation, but nodded very calmly.

"I've taken a fancy to your strength, teacher. Although I don't know what kind of artifact is in your body, its power is enough to impress people. If I can attract you to join my camp, it will be the same for me. It’s a trump card. I need your power, so I’m willing to grant you asylum... How about it? Teacher, I think this is a good deal.”

"Um………"

Hearing Rias's suggestion, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, then looked at Rias.

“You say you are demons, then do you know **** people?”

“Perhaps the devil was like this in the past, but times have changed now.”

Rias shook her head.

"Of course, I don't deny that there are still some outlier demons who like to eat people and kill people, but for most demons, since the war with angels and fallen angels ended and peaceful relations were established, this kind of thing is no longer done. We What we are doing now is just to help humans achieve their wishes to a certain extent.”

 “Achieve their desires? Like world domination?”

 “Of course it’s not that exaggerated.”

Rias smiled bitterly.

"The principle of equivalent exchange is universal everywhere. If an ordinary person wants to rule the world, he cannot do it even if he sacrifices his soul. Similarly, if a person wants to become the richest man in the world, perhaps when he gets money You will die in an instant, and we will all be informed exactly - of course, generally speaking, everyone's wishes are just small things in life, and will not involve crimes or life-threatening situations."

"Um………"

After listening to Rias's explanation, Duanmuhuai was silent for a moment.

"I have to admit, your proposal is very good, but...I refuse." "Huh?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, not only Rias was surprised, but Akeno Himejima and others behind her also showed surprised expressions.

 “Why? Teacher?”

“First of all, I am a human, and I only fight for humans. If I become a demon, I will serve you. But I’m sorry, I don’t plan to do that.”

Duanmu Huai shook his head as he spoke.

"I will always only act from the perspective of humans, so I will not join the demon camp. Indeed, fallen angels may be a trouble, but as long as they are not afraid of death, they can come! I will kill as many as they come. I want to see, Are there enough of them for me to kill?"

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai also showed a murderous look, but he quickly restrained himself. Then, Duanmuhuai looked at Rias and nodded.

 “Thank you for your kindness, Rias-san, but I can’t agree.”

"ok, I get it……"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Rias nodded with some disappointment, but soon she looked at Duanmuhuai and asked curiously.

 “What about the second point?”

"Um?"

“Teacher, what you just said was just the first point, is there anything else?”

"certainly."

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

“I am a teacher anyway. When a teacher gets into trouble, there is absolutely no reason to ask students to help wipe his butt. So I will solve this matter myself, so you don’t have to worry about it. Then, I’ll take my leave.”

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai nodded to everyone, then turned and walked out of the room - then he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and looked at Rias again.

"Oh, by the way, Rias-san. I have to say something ugly first. I will fight for mankind, so I will not let go of any existence that tries to harm mankind. No matter it is an angel or a fallen person. Angels, or demons. Or gods, devils, no matter what they are, as long as they dare to harm humans, they will only die... Do you understand what I mean? "

　　　…………”

Facing Duanmuhuai's scrutinizing gaze, Rias took a deep breath and nodded.

 “Of course, teacher, I understand.”

"That's good."

Duanmu Huai said nothing more and withdrew his gaze.

 “I hope you won’t forget this.”

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left, and the door of the occult research room was also closed heavily behind him.

　　　…………”

 Until then, the tense air in the occult research room slowly relaxed.

“I really didn’t expect that Teacher Duanmu actually has such a side...”

Kiba silently reached out his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

 “Is he really human?”

It's no wonder Kiba has such doubts. Everyone here is a demon and has experienced some battles. But the oppressive feeling exuded by Duanmu Huai when he spoke just now made them almost forget to breathe - even if the devil appeared in front of them, I am afraid it would not be able to bring such a sense of oppressive force.

Although Duanmu Huai has always been unsmiling and serious in school, everyone is more afraid of him.

 But...this is far beyond the level of fear!

"what a pity………"

Rias sighed silently. She really hoped to win Duanmu Huai into her camp. But the other party stated that he wanted to stand on the side of humans rather than demons... Although in Rias's view, this was not a big problem, Duanmu Huai seemed to have his own ideas.

 “Minister, are you going to give up?”

"No."

However, Duanmuhuai's refusal only aroused Rias's desire to fight.

“I have decided that I must drag him into the occult research room!”

 “But the minister...”

　　Hearing Rias's fierce speech, Kiba shook his head.

“Looking at Teacher Duanmu, he doesn’t want to transform into a demon.”

"This is not a problem."

Rias shook her head.

In fact, Rias has long taken a fancy to Duanmuhuai's strength. You must know that the strength of the fallen angel yesterday was not weak at all, but Duanmuhuai was able to kill him easily. Not only that, even the fallen angel All his subordinates were wiped out by him alone. Even his own dependents cannot achieve such fighting power! And judging from his speech just now, Rias also discovered that Duanmu Huai is a very principled person, and if such a person becomes a companion, he must be the strongest helper!

 “Look at me, I won’t give up so easily!”
