"Yeah, you should surrender. We don't want to see you get hurt," the girls said. Since there was no real conflict between them, they were attracted to Luo Guang's looks and were reluctant to fight him. In their eyes, their side was guaranteed to win anyway. Although they found persistent boys more charming, they couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt, especially if they accidentally hit his face. It would be a loss to all women, and they would feel terrible.
Facing the girls, Luo Guang calmly replied, "Don't worry, the battle will be over quickly. Aside from your leader, no one will get hurt."
Instead of immediately questioning what Luo Guang meant, the girls were a little excited. He's worried about our safety even at a time like this!
"Fools! This guy is always so arrogant! Can't he see the situation?!" Riser, watching from his magic screen, was furious. He felt that if he didn't act soon, the peerage he had worked so hard to gather would be poached by someone else. With that, Riser immediately ordered them to attack.
"We have no choice, our leader told us to attack," a girl said.
"If we don't obey, we'll become stray devils."
With that, several girls approached with weapons like nunchucks and chainsaws. A Knight hiding in the shadows used his speed to quickly get close to Luo Guang, planning to knock him out. However, facing the surprise attack from the shadows, Luo Guang calmly dodged to the left.
After putting some distance between them, everyone saw a flash of light on Luo Guang's arm, and a crimson gauntlet appeared.
"Yo, partner! You're letting me out so late today. I thought you don't stay up late?" Ddraig's voice came out, sounding a bit groggy.
Luo Guang didn't reply. Instead, he activated the Balance Breaker of his Sacred Gear.
"Henshin."
The girls standing not far away saw a tide of flowing light spread across Luo Guang's body, as a deep crimson aura enveloped him. In the next moment, like a raging storm, the crimson aura vanished, and a red suit of armor instantly appeared on Luo Guang.
As the tail on his back swung with the wind, everyone on the field and in the spectator stands was utterly astonished. Rias hadn't expected it, Sona hadn't expected it, and even Sirzechs and Serafall hadn't expected that Luo Guang would be able to activate his Sacred Gear's Balance Breaker in just a few days. That was the ultimate power of a Sacred Gear, a forbidden ability due to its immense power. It could only be unleashed under extreme conditions. There were Sacred Gear users who could achieve Balance Breaker, but their numbers were very few, and all of them were exceptional individuals.
"This... how is this possible? Luo Guang... he can transform like that?" Rias's mouth was slightly agape. She had thought Luo Guang would use the Sacred Gear's power for support, but it seemed she was mistaken.
"What is this? Is that the power of a Longinus?"
"...It's Balance Breaker. Legend says that a Sacred Gear can only unleash its potential when its wielder is in an extreme emotional state. Rias... are you sure Luo Guang only got that Longinus less than a week ago?" Sona adjusted her glasses. She had given Luo Guang a magical grimoire from her family as a reward before and wanted to ask him about his progress, but she hadn't had the time. Now, it looked like he had mastered all of it?
"I'm sure. That Longinus was originally in an ordinary student's body, but it was stolen by a Fallen Angel using a ritual. Akeno, Koneko, and I were all there that night. Luo Guang obtained it that very night." Although she had erased the student's memory afterward, an ordinary person didn't matter. Rias was also very confused. Is it really that easy to activate a Sacred Gear's Balance Breaker?
"He's so handsome..." Koneko stared intently. The deep crimson armor completely captured her heart.
"It's more than just handsome. A Sacred Gear in its Balance Breaker state can unleash most of its full power. Originally, Luo Guang's power was comparable to a High-Class Devil. Now, it's at least on the level of a Top-Class Devil. Of course, I don't know the specifics of his power." Sona analyzed.
In the spectator stands, the audience was in an uproar at Luo Guang's transformation. As devils who had survived the great war, they had all heard of, and some had even seen, the Two Heavenly Dragons. The devils from the Phenex family gripped the armrests of their seats, their eyes wide. Who exactly is this guy? Not only does he have a Longinus, but he can also activate its Balance Breaker?
"Sirzechs, what's going on? Didn't that boy just get the Longinus? It should take at least a few years to even reach the threshold of Balance Breaker, right?" Serafall might look silly, but she knew a lot of things. If Balance Breaker was that easy to achieve, everyone would have it.
"I'm not sure, either. I only received the news a few days ago," Sirzechs said, equally surprised. When has such a person ever appeared in history?
Grayfia's eyes flickered. Ever since she saw Luo Guang, she had not been the same as before. But with everyone's attention on the arena, no one noticed Grayfia's subtle change.
Meanwhile, on the field, Luo Guang stood poised. His gaze was like a torch, piercing through space and building obstructions, locking onto Riser in the student council office.
"The end is near."
