The arrival of Rias Gremory was somewhat surprising to them.
Then, as the host here, Kaguya was the first to react, and said in an apologetic tone:
"A bit impolite, welcome, Miss Gremory, I'm Shinomiya Kaguya."
"Just call me Rias, no need to be too formal." Rias said casually, "For the time being, I'll be troubling you all."
"Rias, you're too polite!"
"Well then, let's return to the main topic. Sorry for interrupting the Elder Onmyōji's words just now."
Rias approached Daizen and said in an apologetic tone.
Meanwhile, Daizen hurriedly waved his hand, indicating she didn't need to worry, then said to Kaguya and the others:
"Do you still have doubts?!"
"Devil Magic, Onmyōdō, Kendo. Currently, there are only these three training paths before us. Which is stronger or weaker?" Asuna asked.
"Exactly!"
Rias nodded, and said, "If you want to train in Kendo, follow Arima-san. His Kendo has reached the level of a high-class devil. For Onmyōdō, learn from Amami-san, and for Devil magic, come to me."
"If we're talking about which of the three is stronger or weaker, there's no fair standard of measurement. If judged by the strong people born from these three training systems, Kendo is the strongest, followed by Devil magic, and Onmyōdō is the weakest."
"Kendo?!"
"Onmyōdō the weakest?!"
This time, both Daizen and Arima were stunned.
In their understanding, there weren't many strong people who trained in Kendo, and famous ones were even fewer. After all, sharpening the sword for ten years, the time contained within is truly not as simple as ten years. How could Kendo be the strongest?
If Onmyōdō was weaker than magic, Daizen could still accept it, but Onmyōdō being in last place made him somewhat unable to accept it and confused.
For Kaguya and the others who had just come into contact with the supernatural world, they certainly didn't understand where the difference lay, but seeing Daizen and Arima's expressions, they also knew that both clearly disagreed with Rias's words.
Everyone's gaze unconsciously focused on Rias, waiting for her explanation.
Rias also didn't beat around the bush, and said frankly, "Devil magic is merely part of the devil training system, and also the only one suitable for you to train in. If the entire devil training system is combined, it can be compared with Kendo among humans, after all, it's a training system that gave birth to two Transcendents. However, Devil magic alone is still far from enough. You should know that Kendo among humans gave birth to the Shin Emperor, humanity's number one Transcendent, the strongest person among humans, an existence feared by the gods."
"Shin Emperor?!!!"
"Humans also have Transcendents, and he trained in Kendo?!!!"
"The strongest person among humans?!"
"..."
Hearing Rias's words, Daizen and Arima were very shocked. They had never heard of this at all.
First time hearing, humans had also once had Transcendents!!!
But, there was someone who had heard of it, namely Asuna. She heard it from Ddraig yesterday, and she even knew that the strongest person among humans, the Shin Emperor, was Kanzaki Hikaru.
"It's very normal if you don't know, after all, he's more active in various pantheons, and rarely appears in the human world. The only time he moved publicly was when the Eternal Beauty List ended, his brave action at that time to save the God of the Bible."
"Save the God of the Bible?!"
"That is Sei, second place on the Eternal Beauty List. She is the only God recorded in the Bible, the God of the Bible, who was seriously injured in the god and devil war a thousand years ago..."
"And, the Shin Emperor at that time bravely broke through the blockade of various pantheons..."
Rias explained a little.
Even so, the news they received from Rias today still couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
Everyone, including Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime... and the others, only now realized that there was a terrifying strong person among humans, who defied the gods with his own power, and even saved the God of the Bible.
(This man is that strong!!!)
Asuna secretly glanced toward the castle.
As the only person at the scene who knew Hikaru's true identity, she was also shocked by Hikaru's extraordinary record. Although she knew the other party was the strongest among humans, the definition of the strongest among humans was too vague, and she didn't know how to measure it at all. Now she knew that Hikaru defied the gods with his own power, it was truly different.
(If the second place on the Eternal Beauty List is the God of the Bible, the only God recorded in the Bible, then what would the identity of his current lover 'Mio' be like.)
Kaguya thought of Mio, the embodiment of beauty on the Eternal Beauty List, third place on the Eternal Beauty List, who couldn't even evoke feelings of jealousy. Her identity might far exceed her imagination.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
After more than ten minutes.
Only then did everyone awaken from the Shin Emperor!
The strongest person among humans!
Humanity's number one Transcendent!!!
These shocking words. However, even so, there were still deep scars left in their hearts, scars originating from the Shin Emperor.
"State your choices."
Rias said while looking at Kaguya and the others.
Instantly, Kaguya and the others sank into contemplation. After all, this choice related to each of their futures, and they absolutely must not be careless.
After a long silence, Hayasaka was the first to end her contemplation, gazing at Daizen and said, "Amami-sensei, I choose Onmyōdō!"
Daizen nodded kindly.
Then, Hayasaka walked behind Daizen. She had thought carefully about her choice of Onmyōdō. After all, her Ranking Gift: Power to See Ghosts from the Eternal Beauty List was the lowest level among everyone. This was the only advantage she had to enter a training path.
Like Kotonoha, who was at eighty-fifth place on the Eternal Beauty List, Ranking Gift: Basic Physical Transformation, her physique had been greatly enhanced, and she also awakened the Power to See Ghosts. In this regard, Hayasaka couldn't match her. Kotonoha had more choices than her.
The second to choose were Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime.
"We choose Devil magic!"
After speaking, they were already standing behind Rias.
"I also choose Devil magic!"
Kaguya followed carefully, standing behind Rias.
At this moment, Kotonoha also made her choice, walking in front of Arima, and said respectfully, "I choose Kendo. Please guide me, Arima-sensei!"
"You have a good foundation in swordsmanship, choosing Kendo is a very appropriate choice." Arima commented.
Up to this point, only Asuna had not yet made her choice.
