Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Encountering Issei Hyodo Again

Clutching the hot body, Caleb injected his essence and, combined with the lightning element's stimulation, Ruri Kurumizaka also experienced the sensations of Reina Hamasaki and Yukina Sasaki. Wave after wave, her small tongue hung out, her pupils rolled back. Ruri Kurumizaka fell limp against Caleb, trembling non-stop in a trance.

Sensing the slightly increased magic power in his body, Caleb picked up Yuuki Shinamura and continued his cultivation. The four girls in the Hamasaki group were roughly between C-rank and D-rank. For Caleb, who had merged with the Devil Bloodline, the improvement was minor, but it was still more effective than the Takamine sisters. Caleb deliberately exposed the existence of the supernatural world because he wanted the Takamine sisters to start cultivating magic power as well. This idea was even stronger now. Not only for better Dual Cultivation, but also for their safety. Regardless of their talent, as long as they could cultivate, with Caleb's help, they would at least be able to defend themselves against common threats.

The Dual Cultivation ability replenished vitality and spirit. The Devil Bloodline and Primary Physical Mastery greatly enhanced Caleb's stamina. With the assistance of the Enchantment skill, his ability to handle all four girls, which was already strong, became effortless.

Caleb didn't stop until the sky began to lighten.

"Master, you just said we could also learn magic..." Ayame Takamine was radiant, looking eager to try. "Is that true?" She had wanted to ask last night, but she was too engrossed in pleasure, and since Caleb hadn't brought it up, she had kept silent.

"Yes. You can ask them for the details once they wake up." Caleb turned toward the bathroom. "I'll leave the living room to you. I'll shower quickly and head to school." He added, "By the way, if your aptitude is good enough, you might be able to transfer to Kuoh Academy." The Takamine sisters had complained to Kasumi Takamine for a long time about not being able to attend the same school as Caleb. As expected, hearing Caleb's words, the sisters' enthusiasm for learning magic noticeably increased.

Eating a sandwich and drinking milk bought from a convenience store on his way to the academy, Caleb suddenly realized he had forgotten to ask the Takamine sisters if they also felt they had become his exclusive property. "Never mind, I can ask them later..." He didn't really need to ask. He was already fairly certain Ruri Kurumizaka was telling the truth. The discipline of the Takamine sisters had been too smooth and quick. It felt like he hadn't exerted much effort, and it had succeeded. He originally thought they were highly receptive, but it seemed the side effect of his ability was also a major factor.

Looking at it from another angle, what benefit would Ruri Kurumizaka gain from concocting such a reason to deceive him? Caleb couldn't think of any benefit they would gain.

The Cuckold Template made him an easy target for predators, but it also provided him with many conveniences. Not having to worry about his partners cheating, Caleb's stress was immediately cut in half.

"I wonder if President Sona and Rias-senpai have communicated yet..." Caleb ignored the numerous stares around him and mumbled as he walked towards the Student Council office. The rumor storm had passed, but a lot of people were still paying attention to Caleb, especially students from the 'other world'. The girls wanted to verify if the rumors about Caleb being able to increase strength were true, while the boys were envious and cautious at the same time. The disappearance of third-year Oida Taisei had caused some whispers. Whether Rias and Sona Shitori had intended it or not, things had been very quiet around Caleb recently.

Reaching the Student Council office, Caleb didn't see Sona Shitori or Tsubaki Shinra. He discreetly questioned other Student Council members but got no useful information, so he headed to the Occult Research Club.

Pushing open the door to the Occult Research Club, Caleb gently shook the white-haired Loli sleeping on the sofa. "Little Kitten, wake up, wake up."

"Mmm~ Have you had breakfast..." Koneko Toujou sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "I want fried eggs and miso soup..."

Caleb shot her an exasperated look. "There's nothing to eat." The lazy kitten, still sleeping at this hour, wanted warm fried eggs and miso soup? He had finished all the food at home last night, and he had bought his breakfast from a convenience store this morning.

"Wuu~" Seeing there was nothing to eat, Koneko Toujou seemed to be on the verge of lying back down to sleep. Caleb rubbed her soft cat head fiercely and quickly asked, "Where are the President and Akeno-senpai?"

"The President seems to have returned to the Demon World last night... Akeno-senpai... mmm... I don't know."

"Returned to the Demon World..." Caleb let go of the soft little head, feeling slightly relieved. It seemed his 'deception' wouldn't be discovered anytime soon. He hadn't told a single lie, but he had concealed many truths. Crucially, he had also satisfied Tsubaki Shinra completely...

He still needed to increase his strength quickly. Otherwise, Caleb was worried he wouldn't die at the hands of other men, but accidentally at the hands of a woman. Hmm, death is unlikely. Tsubaki Shinra wouldn't allow it. But being tied up and kept in a basement as a cultivation tool, doubling as a breeding tool? That might actually happen.

Wrapping the blanket around the white-haired Loli, Caleb walked towards the Kendo Club. Given his current strength, the biggest benefit from targeting his previously set goals would be the acquisition of new talents. If not, the risk would still be manageable. Caleb's current strength was at least B-rank, considering a Low-Class Devil generally had B-rank power. Since he hadn't sparred with anyone of the same or higher rank, he tentatively placed himself at the start of B-rank. It was unlikely that he would encounter A-rank or stronger opponents while targeting a few ordinary Hentai heroines.

First, I'll go see Sakura Miyajima at the Kendo Club, then Natsuha Shinomiyamiya at the Karate Club... Caleb walked, refining the plan he had recently established in his mind.

Soon, Caleb reached the back of the Kendo Club's training hall. Just as he was about to turn to the front entrance, he heard rustling sounds from the bushes.

"Wow, is this Heaven!"

"Move aside, move aside, it's my turn."

"Don't push, I haven't seen enough."

"Hey, you two, I haven't even had a look yet!"

...

Caleb's ears twitched. He felt one of the voices sounded familiar. He slowed his steps and quietly circled the hedge, coming up behind the three men arguing in hushed tones.

It's those three... Looking at the finger-sized hole in the low wall, Caleb stroked his chin, watching the three Pervert Trio with interest. They were still jostling each other for ownership of the hole, each wanting one more peek at the girls changing their clothes. They were completely unaware of the person watching them from behind.

The Pervert Trio got excited, and their movements and voices unconsciously grew louder, especially Issei Hyodo, who hadn't gotten a turn and was on the verge of physically intervening.

Thump!

In the midst of the struggle, someone hit the wall, attracting the attention of the Kendo Club members. They looked towards the source of the sound and quickly spotted the small light hole and the peeping Pervert Trio.

"Ah! Perverts!"

Chaos erupted. The Kendo girls quickly put on their clothes, grabbing their bamboo swords and rushing out.

"Damn it, we've been found, run!"

Matsuda and Motohama, occupying the hole, realized something was wrong and immediately shoved Issei Hyodo behind them. Issei Hyodo, who had been waiting for his turn, tumbled to the ground, still trying to figure out what was happening. By the time he climbed up, he was already surrounded by the furious girls.

As soon as Matsuda and Motohama shouted, Caleb quietly hid. Seeing the two preparing to slip away, he narrowed his eyes. A small Lightning Bolt shot directly towards their knees. Caleb's impression of these two was far worse than the innocent breast-obsessed Issei Hyodo. These two always got the benefits, and when trouble arose, Issei Hyodo took the blame. Although they would comfort and compensate Issei Hyodo afterward, Caleb still disliked people like them.

Matsuda and Motohama, hiding in the bushes, felt a tingling sensation in their knees. Their entire bodies instantly lost control, and they fell straight to the ground.

Plop! Plop!

The Kendo Club members surrounding Issei Hyodo turned their heads.

"They have accomplices!"

"I knew it was the three of them!"

"Hmph, sisters, beat them hard!"

The appearance of Matsuda and Motohama immediately drew most of the girls' attention. Compared to the clueless Issei Hyodo, the Kendo Club members hated these two who had almost escaped even more.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Caleb quickly approached Issei Hyodo and pulled the bewildered boy away from the scene of the crime. The girls only saw a dark shadow flash past, a gust of wind sweeping by, and Issei Hyodo was gone. With one less person to share the punishment, Matsuda and Motohama endured even more vicious beatings.

Caleb didn't care what happened to Matsuda and Motohama. They wouldn't die, and it would serve as a good lesson.

Looking at the bruised and swollen Issei Hyodo, Caleb smiled slightly, instinctively glancing at Issei Hyodo's arm. "Hyodo, long time no see."

Issei Hyodo hadn't fully recovered his senses, and the scenery around him had changed. Hearing Caleb's voice, his confusion gradually turned into panic.

"Ue... Uesugi... long... long time no see." Issei Hyodo instinctively shuffled backward, increasing the distance between himself and Caleb.

Caleb's eyes narrowed. This was not favorable for his future plans. He had been so preoccupied with the Dual Cultivation ability that he almost forgot about the 'cheat device' here. If possible, Caleb wanted to claim the Boosted Gear for himself. Even if that was not feasible, building a good relationship with Issei Hyodo wouldn't hurt. Issei Hyodo was quite loyal to his friends. Matsuda and Motohama had screwed him over countless times, but he never held a grudge.

Adjusting his mindset, Caleb put on a harmless expression, asking curiously, "Hyodo, why were the Kendo Club members beating you up?"
