"Huh?...Sister?"
Sona, who was very familiar with her sister's voice, immediately recognized it as the voice of her sister, Serafall!
Looking in the direction of the sound, Sona saw a magical girl flying in the sky. A magical girl in a pink dress descended from above and flew toward Sona.
"Bang!"
Sona turned her head to the side and delivered an elbow strike directly into Serafall's abdomen.
But with Sona's power, how could it be possible to cause an effective attack on a Maou? It was just her way of expressing her anger.
"You secretly used my Evil Pieces to reincarnate Takumi-kun? Sister, you have some nerve coming to find me now!"
This matter had violated her bottom line. However, Serafall is the type who will persist no matter how many times she is rejected by her sister. She directly climbed up from Sona's outstretched hand and put her arms around Sona's waist.
"Wait... Wait... Sister!"
My sister is getting close to me again in public! Ah! Sister, look at the occasion!
"Sister knows that she did something wrong, so she came to show her sincerity."
Serafall's eyes were watery. Ah, Sona-chan's body feels so good!
"Sincerity?"
Sona asked skeptically. Even if the reincarnation failed, what was this so-called sincerity?
"Mmmm! Big sister went to find Ajuka! He can definitely solve Sona-chan's problem!"
Serafall said confidently.
"Wait! Serafall-sama? The Ajuka you mentioned... is the Maou Ajuka Beelzebub?"
Rias was very surprised. Was it necessary to invite a Maou for a reincarnated devil?
Uh... Just now, Takumi seemed to have swallowed her Evil Pieces again, and there was no sign of successful reincarnation at all. Yes! It was needed! Necessary!
But before that, Lady Serafall certainly didn't know that Rias would also try to reincarnate Takumi? In other words, Serafall-sama just knew that Sona's pieces had not been successful, so she went directly to the other Maous? This was a little too spoiled, wasn't it?
"En, that's right! Rias-chan... Come out! Ajuka!"
Following Serafall's call, a green magic circle appeared on the floor of the Occult Research Club.
"Oh? This magic happened in that crystal ball too."
Takumi squinted his eyes. Um, sorry, I can do this simple projection magic too.
Under the gaze of everyone, a shadow of a man appeared from the projection on the ground. It was a man who looked quite gentle, with a gleam of wisdom and intelligence in his eyes. As soon as he was projected, he set his eyes on Takumi.
"Are you the young man who is valued by the next head of the Sitri family? I'm Ajuka. If you don't mind, you can call me Teacher."
Ajuka spoke with a smile.
Well, it was "Teacher," not "Master." In Takumi, he saw the potential to easily reach his own realm. Besides, the relationship of a "Master" is much closer than that of a "Teacher" in the Underworld, and the bond between master and disciple is highly valued there. It is impossible to simply call the relationship between teaching and being taught a master-apprentice bond without deeper ties.
"Well, Teacher Ajuka, what you teach is indeed very useful."
Takumi nodded and said.
When he was still weak, the favor of a Transcendental was very important. After all, a Transcendental was among the top combat powers in the world. What's more, Ajuka had a very good affinity with him. With his learning ability and the huge spiritual energy required for promotion, he had to learn various spells in a short period of time to make himself stronger.
After greeting Takumi, Ajuka spoke to the two parties.
"Rias, and Sona, I already know the specifics. From now on, Takumi-kun will be your common dependent. There is no problem in writing this into the system of the Evil Pieces."
"Huh?" Rias opened her eyes wide.
"Huh?!" Sona raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, if you are not satisfied, there are other plans."
Ajuka looked at the reaction of the two and spoke with a smile.
"What plan?" Sona said, a little excitedly.
"I can recruit Evil Pieces that others don't use from the Underworld. In this case, Takumi-kun should be able to successfully reincarnate and have great power from the beginning, but..."
"However, Takumi-kun would no longer be a dependent under our name, right?" Sona adjusted her glasses. Okay, this plan is abandoned.
"Forget it."
Just like Sona's idea, Rias refused directly.
"Then that's it. From now on, Takumi-kun will be the shared dependent of Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory."
The reactions of the two were exactly as Ajuka had expected.
"Ok."
"No problem."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Rias and Sona's tones—not dissatisfaction with Ajuka's conclusion, but dissatisfaction with each other.
Sona's dissatisfaction was that if she had known she wouldn't be able to successfully reincarnate him alone, she shouldn't have agreed to Rias's request just now! In this way, Takumi-kun would be her family alone!
Rias was dissatisfied that Sona's sister was so rude! If you have the ability to accept family members directly like me, speak openly! Why put your sister's Evil Pieces directly into someone else's body!
"Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, you will be remembered in the history of the Underworld because of this incompletely reincarnated devil."
Ajuka spoke very seriously.
"Eh? Ajuka-chan? Are you so sure?"
Serafall tilted her head...
"Well, I checked my crystal ball just now. He was able to learn twenty-six lessons in a short period yesterday. With this kind of learning ability, he can become a Maou in a few years."
Ajuka looked directly at Takumi.
In fact, he predicted the time would be even shorter. As long as Takumi agreed to his arrangement, Takumi's strength could reach the Maou level within a few months. How many years? Even reaching beyond that is not impossible! However, he didn't say it aloud.
"How many years to reach the Maou level?!"
Sona and Rias took a deep breath.
A devil's concept of time is different from that of ordinary people. In their eyes, a few years is equivalent to a dozen days at most.
"Well, I don't know."
Takumi's eyes flickered slightly.
Is he joking? How many years to become a Maou? Is this humiliating me?
Issei Hyoudou can use a year to display the combat power of a Maou, but how many years does it take to actually become one? Although the calculation method is different—Issei used the power of a Longinus and Balance Breaker to forcibly achieve it, while he would achieve it with his own hard power.
"By the way, Takumi-kun, the unreincarnated devil with a promising future, I want to ask you a question."
Although the idea of an "unreincarnated devil" sounded strange, Takumi was indeed such an existence. After explaining, Ajuka finally cut to the main purpose of his visit today.
"Lord Ajuka, what is the question?"
Takumi looked directly at Ajuka and asked.
Mainly because he didn't expect Ajuka to check his homework so soon, exposing his learning progress. All in all, as expected, it was still the fault of that Maou girl! If she hadn't come to his house, how could this series of things have happened?
By the time Ajuka felt it was time to check his progress, Takumi had already finished his studies. Ajuka looked at Takumi with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I want to ask Takumi-kun, are you willing to be my personal disciple? The only disciple."
In front of everyone who now doubted their own ears, Ajuka spoke slowly.
"Eh!? Ajuka? Are you going to accept an apprentice?" Serafall's twin ponytails swayed, indicating her unusual mood.
"Well, Serafall, in him, I see infinite possibilities—the possibility to change the world. If he agrees, it will be of great benefit to us and his growth," Ajuka responded.
"Accept me as a disciple..."
"I don't really like the title 'Master Ajuka'. What do you think of 'Teacher Ajuka'?"
Takumi hooked the corner of his mouth and spoke.
A master at the Transcendental level has the knowledge he needs, and his status is very high. If he encounters danger, the man will definitely take action. Where can one find such a teacher?
But he wasn't being rude. The reason why Ajuka wanted to accept him as a disciple was likely so that after he grew up, he would contribute to the devil's cause. In the eyes of others, he was now a person of the Underworld.
But Takumi didn't care about that. I am not of the Underworld, but the Underworld is mine.
He's just not used to the title "Master." Teacher is the right title.
