After a moment of silence, Rias slowly said, "Could the leak have come from within your student council?"
Sona shook her head firmly. "Impossible."
"Why impossible? The student council has many members, and not all of them are your pawns."
"Because apart from me and Tsubaki, none of the other members even knew about this."
The fact that Haruto had extraordinary magical talent was something Tsubaki had only told Sona.
To prevent Haruto from accidentally revealing it in his excitement, Tsubaki hadn't even told Haruto himself.
Sona had planned to observe him personally today. If it was true, even if she didn't immediately make him a pawn, she would at least have him join the student council.
But overnight, rumors spread throughout the school—about Haruto's exceptional talent, his ambiguous relationship with Tsubaki, and his promiscuity with other girls.
The gist was that several girls and one guy had gathered for an orgy: Haruto lay on top of the student council vice president, kissing Touko with his left hand while groping Yukina's ample chest with his right.
Reina gave him a bowjob, Yuki pushed from behind, and Ruri handled tea service and cleanup afterward...
The rumors were so vivid it was as if someone had seen it firsthand—even Tsubaki herself almost believed them.
Only students from the inner academy would understand the first piece of news.
The reason Haruto was met with strange looks this morning was the second rumor.
He and Reina's group did indeed mess around quite wildly, and they'd even been seen in the girls' locker room a few times.
This kind of gossip—70% false, 30% true—was extremely hard to disprove.
Even if the student council intervened, people would only nod politely on the surface while spreading even wilder rumors in private.
Rather than the truth, they were more interested in the details of Haruto battling multiple women.
Rias: "Is it possible that your conversation was overheard?"
Haruto: "Well..."
Sona: "Tsubaki has opened a barrier."
"And what's strange is, why would someone specifically spread rumors about Haruto messing around with girls?"
Haruto: "Um... I..."
Rias: "Are you saying that the person spreading the news isn't doing it to showcase Haruto's potential?
Haruto: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ
Request to join the conversation...
Join failed.
Even though they were discussing something related to him, he felt completely sidelined...
Haruto looked up at the ceiling, thinking, you all have big chests, you get to decide.
Rias and Sona were talking in fragmented sentences; he could only grasp bits and pieces, which only made him more curious.
Seeing that he couldn't join in on this side, Haruto thought about going over to the other side to gather some information.
In contrast to the somewhat confrontational atmosphere between Rias and Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki, both holding the title of queen, were getting along quite well.
Both were discarded daughters of the five major exorcist families, reincarnated as devils, and serving as queens, making them very good friends.
Since Tsubaki had promised Haruto earlier, and seeing that the other side was tangled up without a resolution for the time being, she took the initiative to explain.
In simple terms, someone had spread half-true, half-false information, drawing a lot of attention to Haruto.
Originally, Sona wanted to secretly recruit Haruto, but Rias, hearing the news, wanted to compete for him.
Of course, if possible, Rias also didn't want Haruto to be noticed by too many people.
Sona needed strong power to fulfill her dreams, and Rias was also in urgent need of strength to deal with the troubles that were about to come.
Neither side wanted to give up a potential subordinate with great promise.
After getting a rough idea of the situation, Haruto was ready to play the role of a newbie and ask about things like what a subordinate is.
Before he could ask, Rias and Sona finally reached a temporary consensus.
"Haruto-kun, this is some information about the benefits and rules of the academy."
Sona took out a palm-sized booklet from her pocket. "No matter who intentionally spread the news, you are now a member of the academy, so just make sure not to violate the rules."
Haruto reached out to take it.
The red cover was thin, and flipping through it, there wasn't much content.
It mainly consisted of rules like not revealing the existence of the academy and not using supernatural powers for evil.
As for the benefits, Haruto didn't bother to look closely.
Compared to the improvements brought by dual cultivation abilities, he found these resources for new students somewhat beneath his notice.
Once Haruto had familiarized himself with the contents of the booklet, Sona asked, "How much do you know about supernatural matters?"
"A little bit."
He brought his thumb and index finger close together, making a gesture of a tiny universe.
Sona frowned slightly. "For example?"
"Hamazaki and the others told me..."
Haruto thought for a moment and mentioned a few things that could almost be considered common knowledge in the underworld.
"That's enough for an ordinary new student. You'll naturally come across more information as your strength increases."
Rias pointed at her cheek with her long index finger and said slowly, "But as a subordinate, you should at least know about your master's situation."
Haruto wanted to say that he knew better than anyone else, but he managed to hold back.
He obediently stood in place, waiting for Rias to educate him.
Like a pitiful little boy hoping for the affection of an older sister.
This expression instantly melted Rias's heart, and she almost couldn't resist giving Haruto a hug.
But someone was quicker than her.
Feeling the soft and delicate sensation on his cheek and the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, Haruto took a deep breath.
"Akeno-senpai... loosen up a bit."
While saying "loosen up," Haruto's face kept rubbing against the full and firm breasts.
Akeno's face turned red, thinking to herself that he really was a little pervert, and she had been deceived by his innocent appearance.
Not just Akeno and Rias, but Sona and Tsubaki were also captivated by Haruto's seemingly pure demeanor.
However, none of them acted as quickly as Akeno.
Haruto's soft and weak appearance made him seem easy to bully, which was exactly what appealed to the black-hearted, sadistic side of Akeno.
Even after realizing it, she couldn't bring herself to let go of Haruto.
Let him be a little pervert; who cares, she was just into that kind of thing.
Akeno didn't let go, and Haruto happily continued to enjoy it.
He nestled in deeper, shifting to a more comfortable position, and began to listen to Rias explain the information about the underworld.
"We are in the human realm, and there are also the devil realm and the divine realm..."
"The devil race, the divine race, humans, and the dragon race are the strongest races..."
"But each race isn't united..."
Lying in Akeno's embrace, Haruto listened with boredom to Rias's introduction of the world's grand structure.
He already knew all this, and it was too high-level to have any connection to him.
It was enough to just listen; he didn't need to take it to heart.
Rias spoke until her mouth was dry, and when she looked closely, Haruto was completely absorbed massage of Akeno's big breasts in his face.
She shot a glare at Akeno, displeased, "Haruto, pay attention and don't keep putting your hands inside Akeno's clothes."
"Ah la ah la~"
Akeno smiled mischievously, catching Haruto's restless hand. "Be good and listen, and later, I'll reward you."
