Start a core cabin

Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai could defeat a group of such demons with one hand, but this time, the reason why he chose to attack the demons was certainly not simply to eliminate them.

"Leave it to you! Mio! I'll pull the monsters, and you'll be responsible for the output!"

That's right, this time Duanmu Huai regards himself as a MT. His task is to hold the monster and let Naruse Mio learn how to fight - learning in real battles is the fastest way to progress. Wan Liya also agrees with Duanmu Huai's point of view.

"Do you want me to come?!"

Looking at the terrifying monster in front of her, Naruse Mio felt a little nervous. After all, before her parents were killed, she was just an ordinary girl... huh?

A girl who has been living an ordinary life suddenly encounters a change one day. Her parents are killed, and she awakens the power hidden in her body. If her gender is changed, wouldn't she be the protagonist of a light novel?

Now it's up to Duanmu Huai to see if she has the potential to be the protagonist of a light novel.

"That's right!"

Duanmuhuai waved his war hammer casually, blocking the attack of the stray demon on the opposite side, and nodded to Naruse Mio. Maria also clenched her fists and looked at Naruse Mio.

"Come on! Mio-sama, I have taught you how to use magic!"

"Ugh..."

Hearing Maria's words, Naruse Mio also raised her right hand, and soon, bright red magic waves like flames erupted from her body. Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning shot out from the magic circle in front of her and hit the stray demon in front of her!

"Whoa!"

The stray demon obviously didn't expect that the delicate girl in front of him actually had such power. The bright red lightning radiated from Naruse Mio's hand and hit the stray devil directly, creating a thunder-like wave. of explosion. However, this stray demon was obviously not a weakling. After noticing Naruse Mio's magic power, it hurriedly dodged and tried to escape.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai, with quick eyes and quick hands, smashed the forelimbs of the stray demon with a hammer and knocked him to the ground directly!

"Quick, take action and kill it!"

"this……………"

"Think about how many people this demon has eaten!"

Seeing that Naruse Mio was still hesitant, Duanmu Huai also shouted angrily.

"It's a demon that takes pleasure in killing and eating people. It's the same demon that killed your parents!"

"And the demon that killed my parents..."

Hearing this, Naruse Mio once again recalled the nightmare, the figure of the demon who killed her parents with ease... At this moment, the bright red magic power on her body shone brighter and brighter. Then Naruse Mio raised her hand again and pointed it at the stray demon in front of her.

"go to hell---!"

Following Naruse Mio's roar, the next moment, a bright red ball of light flew out from her hand and directly hit the huge body of the stray demon.

"Oooo!!"

The moment it was hit by Naruse Mio's red ball of light, the stray demon let out a painful scream. Then, its body began to squeeze, deform, and twist, as if it was being crushed by some invisible powerful existence. Average. Gradually it began to decompose and break, and after a while it completely disappeared without a trace.

"This is Wilbert-sama's power! Mio-sama has indeed inherited this power!"

Seeing this scene, Maria immediately cheered, while Naruse Mio stared blankly at the floor in front of her, looking like she didn't know how to react - there was nothing there now.

"Well done."

Duanmuhuai also came over at this time and patted Naruse Mio on the head.

"That's what you should do. Remember, there is no mercy in battle. Although I know it may be difficult for you to accept this. But no matter what, the only thing you can do now is to continue to persevere. Remember, you Your parents are dead, dying to protect you. And all you can do is not to let their sacrifices go in vain. Maybe you hate fighting, but if you don’t fight you will be killed. When the time comes, your parents’ sacrifices will be It’s meaningless and worthless, do you understand?”

"………………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Naruse Mio lowered her head and looked at her hands. Then she raised her head and nodded vigorously towards Duanmuhuai.

"I understand, uncle."

After the "general cleaning", Duanmuhuai and his party moved into this mansion that was almost picked up for free. Fortunately, most of the furniture from the previous owner is still there. Currently, there are only three people living in this bungalow, so there is no need to make it too complicated. Of course, for Naruse Mio, she was reluctant to live in such a haunted house, but Duanmuhuai said, "You are the eldest lady of the demon clan, what are you afraid of ghosts?" and Wan Liya's persuasion, In the end, she nodded and agreed.

Of course, Naruse Mio didn't forget to complain to Duanmu Huai, which made herself look like a big villain... After all, he is a demon now and still lives in a haunted house. How strange does it look?

Duanmu Huai just smiled and said nothing. Facts have proved that his method is still effective. Although Naruse Mio is still a little concerned about living in a haunted house, she will no longer be as dull as before. I spent a whole day looking at the ruins of my home.

Having the energy to complain means that she is getting out of the shadow in front of her.

Of course, she and Wan Liya also transferred to Juwang Academy where Duanmu Huai was. In fact, Wan Liya originally refused this. She even proudly took out a driver's license and claimed that if the police came to ask her why she didn't go to school, she would say that she was an adult... Duanmu Huai was an iron fist to this. The sanctions completely knocked Wan Liya back.

You come to school obediently and you are not allowed to go anywhere!

But before that, Duanmuhuai still has a problem that needs to be solved.

"Why……………"

Looking at the signboard of "Occult Research Society" in front of him, Duanmuhuai sighed silently, then knocked on the door. Soon, Rias's voice came from the door.

"It's Teacher Duanmu, please come in."

"Sorry to disturb you."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai opened the door and walked into the Occult Research Club - unlike before, there were only Rias and Himejima Akeno in the club office now, and the other three were not there. Rias was sitting behind the desk, looking at Duanmu Huai with curious eyes.

"Teacher Duanmu, what do you want from me? Have you changed your mind and plan to become my dependent?"

"That's impossible, just give up."

Duanmuhuai decisively refused...then he looked at Rias.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Ugh...you just rejected my invitation. Now you still want to ask me for help?"

Hearing this, Rias's expression was somewhat speechless.

"Teacher Duanmu, you are so domineering... But I made you come to me... What exactly is it?"

"I remember you said that you are a superior demon from hell. Are you considered a noble?"

"Of course, our Gremory family is a famous family with a long history... What's the problem?"

"Hey...it's a long story..."

Duanmuhuai sat down on the sofa, and Akeno Himejima hurriedly handed over tea. Duanmuhuai drank tea and told Rias what happened in the past few days. After listening to Duanmu Huai's story, Rias could not hide her shock.

"I have indeed heard about the situation of the Wilbert family, but I remember that after the death of Patriarch Wilbert, his younger brother should be responsible for managing the family now... I see, I really didn't expect that Mr. Wilbert There is actually a daughter left in the human world..."

"In short, I am living with her now, and she will come to Kuou Academy to study in the future. Aren't you all demons? It should be okay to help take care of her."

"Um…………"

Rias was silent for a moment.

"It's not impossible...but I am from the Gremory family, and she is the heir to the Wilbert family, and from what you said, they are currently fighting among themselves because of inheritance rights. Frankly speaking, as a member of the Gremory family, I don’t think I am suitable to participate in the internal affairs of other families.”

"This is not a problem."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"I just want you to help her with club activities."

"Societies?"

"yes."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pointed at the club in front of him.

"The transfer student wants to join the club. As the head of the Occult Research Club, you should have no problem helping the newcomers, right?"

"……………… Do you think this statement is feasible?"

Facing Duanmuhuai's rogue answer, Rias was speechless. Indeed, if it is an interaction between two superior demon family members, there may be political issues. But as a student, Naruse Mio transferred to Kuoh Academy, joined the Occult Research Department, and was instructed by the director. This is the duty of a student, and no one can say anything about it, right?

Of course, that's what they say, but everyone knows what the situation is.

"The Wilbert family will not agree with your statement."

"Don't worry, they have to agree even if they don't agree."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"I'll make them an offer they can't refuse."

"To be honest, I'm really curious, teacher, why do you insist on getting involved in this muddy water?"

Rias picked up the teacup and drank the black tea, then looked at Duanmuhuai curiously again.

"Frankly speaking, whether it is our Gremory family or the Wilbert family, it is all a problem between us demons. Teacher, you are just a human, why do you have to get involved in this? And according to you, Isn't that Miss Naruse Mio just your neighbor? But what you have done for her is more than what a warm-hearted neighbor should do."

"You have to ask me if I like her. Of course I do. After all, she is pretty and cute and has a good figure."

Duanmuhuai didn't pay attention to Rias's prying at all and said directly.

"But the main problem is, I'm already involved."

"How to say?"

"I told you just now that a demon attacked Naruse Mio and killed her parents. In order to save her, didn't I kill that demon?"

"That's right."

"Hmm...I found out later that that guy's name is Zolgeir. He seems to be quite famous among you demons?"

"………………Crack!"

The tea cup in Rias's hand fell directly to the ground and shattered into pieces, while she stared blankly at Duanmu Huai with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Wait, wait, you mean... you killed Marquis Zolquier!?"

"That's right, a very tough-looking old man with horns. Judging from your reaction, he is indeed very famous among demons?"

"More than just famous!"

Rias was almost jumping at this point!

"Marquis Zolgeir is one of the few remaining elders of the demon clan in the three-party war, and he has very strong attainments in ancient magic... Even the current demon king respects him...!" "

"Oh, that looks pretty bad."

Duanmu Huai remained calm, put down the teacup, and spread his hands towards Rias.

"So you see, I've been involved."

"...Indeed, it is true, but it is not certain that the person you destroyed must be Marquis Zolkiel himself, or it may be his clone or a deception..."

Rias let out a sigh and sat back on the chair.

"I will investigate this matter. I have to say...Teacher, you are really brave..."

"Just average, third in the world, so that's what we've settled on?"

"...I can only say that I will make a decision after thinking about it."

"Then it's no problem."

Duanmuhuai stood up and nodded to Rias.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai walked out of the occult research room, and Rias watched Duanmu Huai's back disappear, and then looked at Himejima Akeno next to her with a solemn expression.

"Akino, go investigate this matter immediately, the Wilbert family, and Zolgear..."

"yes."

"Why……………"

After giving the order, Rias let out a long sigh and lay directly on the table.

"Teacher... you will really give me difficult questions..."

Then, she murmured and spoke.
