Rias mastered the authority of that aspect; even though she tried her best to maintain it, the Rias of this world still begged for mercy ten minutes later.
Because they were bathing, Rias wasn't too excessive, just gave her a lesson.
Casually provoking an attacker, Rias would show her why an attacker is an attacker, and even an attacker would have to become a receiver when facing her.
Afterward, waiting for them back in bed was another sleepless night.
The next day arrived quickly.
Since there was no training, the Rias of this world no longer took leave but went to class instead.
Spending daily school life leisurely was a kind of enjoyment for Rias and the others.
After all, Kuoh Town was the territory of this world's Rias, and the school was managed by this world's Rias and Sona together.
They didn't have any of the pain students have; they had all the enjoyment students have.
Calling them privileged people, in fact, the entire town was their territory, naturally including the school.
Soon, the day's classes ended.
Resting for a while in the activity club and eating some snacks, it was time for the devils to become active.
Current devils also keep up with the times; devils in the Human World sign contracts with humans by using familiars to hand out flyers.
And when night falls, it's the time for devils to be active.
Starting from Low-Class Devils, if they want to become Middle-Class Devils, they need to complete contracts between devils and humans; essentially, it's no different from doing sales business.
Once they have accumulated a certain amount and pass the devil exam, they can become Middle-Class Devils.
The Rias of this world didn't move because she didn't need to make contracts with humans.
Of course, if she encountered a good prospect, she wouldn't be stingy with her labor.
But that wouldn't be for a contract, but for a peerage member.
However, as usual, the devil peerage members who had completed their business all sought out Rias together.
Seeing the atmosphere was different from before, Rias roughly understood their thoughts.
"The tea is good, you can talk about the main business now."
After Himejima Akeno brewed a cup of tea, Rias spoke after finishing it.
"As expected, I can't hide it from you..."
Himejima Akeno shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Actually... we want to ask you for help, to help us train."
Because it was a formal request, Himejima Akeno used honorifics.
Although they had become very familiar during this time, after all... Rias wasn't the Rias of this world.
Even if the Rias from the parallel world had as good a relationship with them, they were still not the truly same person.
"Seeing the other me become stronger, you feel unwilling?"
Rias glanced at them and said, "Earlier you wanted to interfere with the cultivation plan I set; you really care about people."
"After all, seeing Rias working so hard, we as the peerage are under a lot of pressure too."
Himejima Akeno smiled and said, "And as the Queen, it's not okay for me to fall so far behind Rias."
High-Class Devil and High-Class Devil, the difference of a single word is like heaven and earth.
If the strength of the original Rias and Himejima Akeno wasn't that different, now it could be called a crushing defeat.
One person fighting a dozen, or even twenty-plus Himejima Akenos would be no problem.
"But you should know, at this stage, what limits your strength isn't talent or training, but mindset."
Rias said, "The talent of the Gremory Family is digging for treasures, always digging out some eccentric geniuses. And these eccentric geniuses more or less have psychological problems; you all are like this."
Himejima Akeno remained silent.
The combat system she currently uses is entirely thunder transformed from devil magic power.
If light power is added, it can form the power of thunder and light.
But—because of her childhood experiences, she extremely rejects her Fallen Angel bloodline.
Her mother... passed away.
Because of that irresponsible father.
Although she also understands that her father can't be blamed for this, she is still filled with complex emotions even now.
It looks like hate, but in fact, how could she truly hate her father.
Regarding Himejima Akeno's matter, Rias didn't have much of a solution.
Because she herself didn't really think highly of Baraqiel.
If she were Baraqiel, she wouldn't care about the balance between humans and Fallen Angels.
Perhaps she would directly start a war, or entice their internal members to kill each other.
After all, Baraqiel is an executive of the Fallen Angels.
Wife killed, daughter almost died, this is a crazy slap to the face of the Fallen Angels.
This slaps more than just Baraqiel alone; can this be endured?
"If you want to erase the Fallen Angel bloodline, it's a very simple thing for me."
Rias said, "But do you really want to do that?"
Hearing this, Himejima Akeno's expression shook; subconsciously she wanted Rias to erase the 'filthy' bloodline in her body, but it was suppressed.
This made her mood very complex; several times she wanted to speak but couldn't say it.
As the atmosphere gradually froze, Rias looked at Toujou Shirone and said, "Little Shirone, you should know your sister's difficulties. Although this stupid cat does things without thinking and is really quite retarded, she is sincere towards you."
"All the sins were created by the Nebiros Branch Family and have nothing to do with the Nekomata bloodline in your body. It will neither go out of control nor take others' lives at will."
Looking at Toujou Shirone's heavy expression, Rias shook her head.
Before seeing Toujou Kuroka and confirming this matter, it's very difficult to untie her heart knot.
"Finally, Yuto."
Rias looked at him.
And he also remained silent, his expression filled with gloom.
With a light tap, in front of Rias, countless lights emerged, forming one person after another.
They brought gentle blessings and hymns, emitting pure light like holy light.
Holy Sword Particles.
In order to make them have compatibility with the Holy Swords, experiments were subsequently carried out.
Afterward, none of them had compatibility, so they were poisoned by the person in charge of the church, Galileo Galilei.
The boys and girls filled with hope died one by one, only he alone survived.
Until they were poisoned, the boys and girls all thought that everything they endured was bright and righteous.
In Rias's world, because of the return of the New God, people like Galileo Galilei were directly sentenced by the God's power and died before they could even do evil.
But this world followed the normal trajectory.
"How is this possible?!"
Kiba Yuto looked at these human figures formed by golden particles and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shh, listen carefully to their voices."
Rias put her index finger in front of her mouth and shushed.
Faintly, Kiba Yuto saw his companions' comforting smiles and their blessings for him.
"Sacred Gears are the manifestation of miracles; after they died, their souls didn't return to Heaven but stayed inside your Sacred Gear."
Rias smiled and said, "Did you hear? They want you to live on. Revenge naturally has to be done, but you can't let revenge become your only purpose."
"Because now, you carry more than just one person's life; you also need to live with the will of your companions."
