Having prepared a gravity room indoors for the temporarily bewildered Koneko, Hiro and Asia followed Akeno to a spacious, mostly empty room.
Apart from a few potted plants and decorations, only a round table and matching chairs occupied the space.
"Hiro-kun clearly already possesses such magical power. Why are you still learning from me like Asia?"
Akeno set a half-empty bottle of mineral water in the center of the table, her expression puzzled as she turned to look at him.
"I... I think so too. Yesterday, Hiro-kun was already very capable. There's no need to study with me, right?"
Asia spoke hesitantly, agreeing with Akeno's opinion.
Under their gazes, Hiro remained silent for a moment, then spread his hands in a helpless gesture.
"Speaking of which... you might not believe it, but in reality, I've only just come into contact with magic for less than a week. Apart from knowing one thing-'imagination casting'-I'm completely ignorant about everything else."
"Eh?! Less than a week?" Asia's small hand flew to her mouth in surprise.
Akeno, beside her, wore a complex expression, remaining silent.
To cast magic strong enough to defeat a high-class devil after just learning magic... even "genius" didn't cover it.
Coupled with a total magic power comparable to a Maou, plus the "special nature of his magic power," it wouldn't be long before Hiro could rival a Maou.
And this was while still human, without a Sacred Gear or Longinus.
Forget it. Big shots need to worry about these things-not a middle-class devil like me.
With that thought, Akeno pushed aside her musings, a cheerful expression returning.
"Ara ara, as expected of the man the President has taken a liking to~ Whether it's strength or talent, it's far beyond us ordinary people... no, ordinary devils."
Hiro pursed his lips and urged impatiently,
"Alright, stop being glib. Quickly explain the basics of magic, then I'll be your-and Rias's-opponent."
"Ara, Hiro-kun in such a hurry? That makes me a little shy~~"
After teasing him, Akeno began to explain without rush.
Kiba Yuuto and Koneko were training physically in gravity fields at separate locations. Asia practiced her magic. Hiro, having gained a deeper understanding of magic and magical power, moved to a forest far from the villa with Akeno and Rias.
"Hiro, since we have Asia's 'Twilight Healing' as backup, you don't need to hold back." Rias stood a dozen meters away, her tone light.
"That's right." Akeno, beside Rias, had changed into her red-and-white shrine maiden outfit, pleasure evident on her face.
"As long as you destroy Rias's and my clothes, you'll see the 'good' stuff inside. Thinking of it that way, aren't you excited, Hiro-kun?"
Excited, huh... I am, but how can I destroy your clothes without leaving you two injured? Hiro muttered inwardly.
"Ready, Hiro?"
Rias looked at him before acting.
"Ready. You go first."
Under their serious gazes, his expression remained calm.
Having seen Hiro easily suppress Riser's peerage, neither Rias nor Akeno were surprised-or looked down on him.
Hiro wasn't a member of the Occult Research Club, nor Rias's servant, nor their boyfriend, fiancé, or husband.
Their relationship could only be considered friends with some affection-at most, "an object coveted by Rias's body."
Rias and Akeno exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Oh, lightning!"
Akeno raised her right hand, dark thunderclouds gathering rapidly above.
"Haa!"
Rias let out a soft cry, summoning a magic circle. A deep-red sphere half a meter in diameter shot toward Hiro's chest.
As a high-class devil, only such a simple, direct move? Don't you feel a little ashamed?
Hiro raised an eyebrow and didn't dodge.
Whoosh whoosh~~
The sphere approached but gradually deviated a few meters ahead. By the time it reached him, the magic brushed past his shoulder and sped into the dense forest beyond.
"What?!"
Rias exclaimed.
Akeno widened her eyes in equal surprise.
"As long as the magic strengthens the surrounding air, forming continuous 'walls,' even if it can't fully block your 'destruction'-attribute magic, making it deviate is easy."
Hiro explained calmly.
Above, lightning flashed at the speed of light, striking the earth.
Crackling-!
"Ah~"
"Ugh~"
Two soft cries of pain rang out.
"The release speed is too slow, control too low. I could use more magic power to cover your attack-or even seize control of the thunderclouds."
Although controlling them would consume several times more magic power than Akeno, the gap between them made it negligible.
Scorch marks faintly tinged their bodies. Hair disheveled, Rias and Akeno exchanged a glance. Disbelief shone in their eyes.
This doesn't look like a newbie who just came into contact with magic at all.
If he's a newbie, then what are we-devils worse than newbies? Unborn babies?
