DxD: Wrong Way

"Master, you just said that we can learn magic too…"

Takamine Ayame said, her mood brightening as she seemed eager to try.

"Is it true?"

In fact, she had wanted to ask this last night, but in the midst of their pleasure, Aoki hadn't mentioned it, so she never brought it up.

"Well, you can ask for the specific details yourself after they wake up"

Aoki replied as he turned to head toward the bathroom.

"I'll leave the living room to you. I need to take a shower and get ready for school first."

"By the way, if you pass your grades, you might be able to transfer to Kuoh Academy."

The Takamine sisters had been thinking about Takamine Kasumi ever since Aoki couldn't attend the same school.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, their enthusiasm for learning magic noticeably increased.

As Aoki walked toward the academy while munching on bread and milk bought from a convenience store, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask the Takamine sisters if they were interested in being his exclusive partners.

"Forget it; I can ask again when I get back…"

In truth, there was no need to ask; he was already fairly certain that what Kurumizaka Ruri had said was true.

The training for the Takamine sisters had gone remarkably smoothly and quickly

It felt almost effortless.

Initially, he thought it was due to their good grades, but now it seemed related to some side effect.

Aoki pondered this further: what benefit would Kurumizaka Ruri gain by fabricating such a reason?

He couldn't think of any advantage for her.

The "suffering master" template easily attracted attention and provided him with considerable convenience.

There was no need to worry about it in the backyard taking the initiative to cheat

Aoki's pressure was halved.

"I wonder if President Sona and Rias-senpai are angry…"

Aoki muttered as he ignored the stares around him and made his way toward the student union.

Although the storm of rumors had passed, many still watched him closely

Especially students from Extraordinary Academy.

The girls were curious if the rumors about Aoki enhancing strength were true, while the boys felt both envious and jealous.

There were still whispers regarding the disappearance of third-year student Oida.

Whether Rias and Shitori Sona orchestrated this intentionally or not, Aoki noticed that things around him had become much quieter recently.

Upon arriving at the student union, Aoki didn't see Shitori Sona or Shinra Tsubaki.

He tried to glean information from other student council members but left without any useful insights before heading toward the Occult Research Club.

Opening the door to the Occult Research Department, Aoki shook Koneko, the white-haired loli who was sleeping on the sofa.

"Koneko, wake up! Wake up!"

"Ugh~ Have had breakfast…?"

Koneko mumbled as she sat up groggily, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"I want fried eggs and miso soup…"

Aoki sighed in annoyance.

"I don't have anything left!"

How could this lazy kitten expect hot omelets and miso soup when he finished all the ingredients at home last night and only bought snacks this morning?

"Woof~"

Seeing there was nothing to eat, Koneko flopped back down in an attempt to continue sleeping.

Aoki rubbed her soft head in exasperation before asking quickly, "Where are Buchou and Akeno-senpai?"

"It seems that Minister returned to the Demon Realm last night… As for Akeno-senpai… um… I don't know," Koneko replied sleepily.

"Back to the Demon World…"

Aoki let go of her soft little head with a sigh of relief.

It seemed his 'fraudulent' behavior wouldn't be discovered for a while longer.

He hadn't lied outright; he just concealed much of the truth

Especially since he had completely consumed Shinra Tsubaki…

He needed to improve his strength quickly; otherwise, Aoki worried that instead of dying at Yellow-Hair's hands, he might accidentally be beaten senseless by a woman instead.

Well, death probably wouldn't happen

Shinra Tsubaki wouldn't want that

But perhaps she might tie him up and keep him in a basement as a training tool or part-time breeding tool.

With those thoughts swirling in his mind, Aoki placed a blanket over Koneko before walking toward the kendo club.

With his current strength level at least B-rank

Since lower-level devils typically possessed B-level strength

He needed to conquer his previous goals and gain new talents for greater benefits while keeping risks manageable.

As he walked through campus planning his next steps

First visiting Sakura Miyajima from Kendo Club followed by Natsuha Murasaki from Karate Club

He mentally prepared himself for what lay ahead.

After a while, Aoki reached the back of Kendo Club's training dojo.

Just as he was about to turn around and head toward the front entrance, he suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from nearby grass.

"Wow! This is like Heaven!"

"Move over! It's my turn!"

"Don't push! I haven't seen enough yet!"

"Hey you two! I haven't even looked yet!"

Aoki's ears perked up at these familiar voices. He slowed down quietly crossed through some greenery until he came upon three people who were engaged in an animated argument…

Looking at the finger-sized holes in the low wall, Aoki touched his chin and watched with interest.

The trio of perverts were still pressing against each other for the hole property.

They all wanted to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girls changing clothes, but they didn't notice that someone was watching them from behind. 

Seeing the excitement, the trio of perverts unconsciously made their movements and voices louder.

Especially Hyoudou Issei, who didn't get his turn, was so anxious that he almost took direct action. 

Boom! 

During the actual grappling, someone bumped into the wall, attracting the attention of the kendo club members.

They looked towards the source of the sound and soon discovered the light hole and the trio of perverts peeking out. 

"Ah! There's a pervert!" 

There was a surge of excitement, and the kendo girls quickly got dressed and started running out with their bamboo swords. 

"Oops, We've been discovered; run away!" 

Matsuda and Motohama, who were occupying the small hole, sensed something was wrong and knocked down Hyoudou Issei behind them. 

Hyoudou Issei, who was waiting to take a look, fell to the ground and didn't realize what was happening.

When he got up, he found himself surrounded by angry girls. 

As soon as Matsuda and Motohama shouted, Aoki quietly hid himself away. 

Seeing that these two were about to escape, he narrowed his eyes and shot a small beam straight at their knees.

Compared to the naive, breast-crazed Hyoudou Issei, Aoki's senses regarding these two were much sharper.

They took advantage every time, causing trouble, while Hyoudou Issei got blamed. 

Although they would comfort and compensate Hyoudou Issei afterward, Aoki still didn't like people like that. 

Matsuda and Motohama, hiding in the bushes, felt their knees go numb, and then their entire bodies lost control and fell straight to the ground. 

Plop! 

The Kendo Club members, who were beating up Hyoudou Issei, turned to look.

"It turns out there's an accomplice!" 

"Sure enough, I knew it was the three of them!" 

"Hmph, sisters, hit me hard!" 

As soon as Matsuda and Motohama appeared, they instantly absorbed most of the firepower. 

Compared to the foolish Hyoudou Issei, the Kendo Club members also despised these two guys, who had almost managed to escape. 

While no one was paying attention, Aoki approached Hyoudou Issei and pulled the confused boy from this place of right and wrong. 

The girls only felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes, a strong wind hit them, and Hyoudou Issei vanished behind them. 

With no one to share the firepower, Matsuda and Motohama suffered even harsher beatings. 

What would happen to Matsuda and Motohama without Aoki? They wouldn't die, so they would remember this lesson for a long time. 

Looking at Hyoudou Issei, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, he smiled slightly and subconsciously glanced at Hyoudou Issei's arm, "Hyoudou-san, long time no see." 

Before Hyoudou Issei could react, the scene before him shifted. 

Hearing Aoki's voice, his confusion gradually turned to panic. 

"Ue... Uesugi... , it's... been a while." 

Hyoudou Issei unconsciously stepped back to distance himself from Aoki. 

Aoki's eyes narrowed; this would not benefit his subsequent actions. 

He had been so focused on the dual cultivation ability earlier that he almost forgot about the "cheating device" present. 

If possible, Aoki would like to take the Sekiryuutei's caged hand as his own. 

If nothing else could be done, there was no harm in establishing a good rapport with Hyoudou Issei beforehand. 

Hyoudou Issei was pretty good to his friends.

No matter how many times those two, Matsuda and Motohama, tricked him, he never held a grudge. 

After adjusting his mindset, Aoki appeared harmless and asked curiously:

"Hyoudou-san, why were you beaten up by members of the Kendo Club?"
