Kuoh Academy.
First-year department.
"Let me introduce everyone, this is the transfer student Linde. From now on, you will be classmates in the same class."
Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "Classmate Linde, please introduce yourself."
"Hello everyone, I'm Linde. Please take care of me from now on."
Shizuka Hiratsuka: "..."
Goodness, he's so individualistic.
Didn't he say anything at all?
"Wow, so handsome, so cool."
"I'll give you one minute. I want all the information on this man."
After a brief silence, there were countless screams.
"Indeed, this is an era that values looks."
Looking at the crazed girls, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but curl her lips.
Such a youthful scene.
For a woman nearing thirty like her, it was slightly annoying.
"Alright, you can sit in the seat next to Classmate Mahiru."
"Mm."
Linde nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.
This name, for some reason, seemed familiar.
He walked forward, and a young girl immediately caught his attention.
Her golden hair shone like sunlight, falling naturally to her waist.
Her face was delicate and exquisite, her white skin like perfect porcelain.
Although she wasn't tall, she exuded a youthful aura, radiating a unique allure.
Her waist was slender, highlighting the faint curves above.
Beneath her beige pleated skirt were beautiful legs wrapped in black thigh-high stockings, giving off a mysterious charm.
"It really is her, the little angel Shiina."
Linde's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised her in his heart.
Indeed.
The decision to come to school was absolutely right.
Shiina Mahiru, sitting obediently in her seat, also noticed Linde's gaze.
Normally, such a gaze would make her feel disgusted.
But for some reason, she felt a strange shyness.
She blinked, turning her head away as if embarrassed.
"You need to be clear-headed. He's just a bit handsome, don't be fooled."
Shiina Mahiru clenched her small fists, secretly admonishing herself.
Mm, very cute.
Linde nodded inwardly, came to his seat, and continued to observe Shiina Mahiru.
At the same time.
The gazes of the other female classmates never left Linde.
"??"
Shizuka Hiratsuka twitched the corner of her mouth.
Why did she have the illusion of a great white shark appearing in a swimming pool?
Recalling the scene when Linde and she first met, Shizuka Hiratsuka muttered, "This kid, he wouldn't be a big pervert, would he?"
At this moment, she somewhat regretted letting Linde join the Service Club.
"Alright, class begins now."
Shaking her head and clearing her mind of random thoughts, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out her textbook, then her stern gaze swept over every female student.
It must be said, Shizuka Hiratsuka still had great authority.
Although some people still occasionally looked at Linde, the classroom atmosphere was still good.
The long-lost classroom experience was also somewhat novel for Linde.
But very quickly.
He was completely bored.
By the end, he was already drowsy.
By the time class ended, Linde had already taken a nap.
"Indeed, listening to lectures is the best way to fall asleep."
Linde sighed, then wanted to get to know the little angel next to him.
"Classmate Linde, do you like music? I have the latest album here."
"Classmate Linde, here are my snacks for you."
However, before he could make a move, he was already surrounded.
Linde had always been quite patient with the opposite sex.
But this also led to.
During the subsequent break, the crowd around him grew larger and larger.
This also made Linde quite distressed.
"Phew, finally got rid of them."
By noon, Linde finally broke through the siege of a group of chattering girls.
Although he was loyal to his desires.
He wasn't someone who would eat just anything.
Those female students were not bad-looking, but they were only around eighty points.
However, Linde's Retainers were at least ninety points.
They had made his taste buds too picky.
"Found her."
Arriving at the cafeteria, Linde finally found Shiina Mahiru.
Crack!
Shiina Mahiru, who was eating, was slightly stunned when she saw Linde sitting opposite her.
"Classmate Shiina, what a coincidence."
"In a school cafeteria, meeting is a high probability event."
Shiina Mahiru said expressionlessly, "Classmate Linde, I'm not interested in dating right now. Could you please leave?"
"No, no, no, it seems you've misunderstood something."
Linde said frankly, "I just think you look like you need some help."
"Classmate Linde, talking to yourself isn't a good habit."
"Is that so?"
Linde smiled, gazing at her amber-brown eyes, "But why does it seem to me…"
"Your eyes are crying."
"..."
Shiina Mahiru froze.
Did this person really see something?
After a moment of silence, Shiina Mahiru said, "No, I don't need any help."
"But still, thank you for your kindness."
"I know you don't believe me now, but one day, when you truly need me, just summon me."
Linde smiled, took out a Demon Contract, and placed it in front of Shiina Mahiru.
"At that time, no matter what problem, I will help you solve it."
Shiina Mahiru unconsciously took the parchment, glanced at it, and said with some confusion, "Demon Summoning…"
At this moment, she didn't know how to respond.
What the heck.
It turns out this new classmate is actually a chuunibyou.
"See you next time."
Leaving these words, Linde had already turned and walked out of the cafeteria.
"Oh, right, I'll have to trouble Vermouth with the afternoon classes."
Linde called Vermouth and then headed straight for the old school building.
Occult Research Club.
"Good afternoon, Rias."
Rias snorted, "So you finally decided to show up."
This scoundrel has been in Other World lately.
He didn't even bother to find her in the few days he was back.
She was very angry.
Not the kind that's easily appeased.
Looking at Rias like this, Linde reached out and wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
"It seems I've neglected my fiancée a bit. What kind of compensation do you want?"
Feeling the gentle voice by her ear and the warmth washing over her, Rias's pretty face flushed.
"You… you wish."
Rias's breathing became heavy, and she let out a soft moan.
In her heart, she was blaming herself.
This was too useless.
"Hahaha, just accept my sincere apology."
Anyway, the afternoon had already been handed over to Vermouth (to cover for him properly), and his time became abundant again.
"Hmph, I'm not that… Mmm…"
"Don't worry, as an apology, I will help you break through to High-Class Devil as soon as possible."
Rias's mind began to go blank; she completely lost track of what Linde was saying.
The surge of magic power within her body was like wave after wave crashing upon her.
Outside the door.
Himejima Akeno stopped.
She looked at the black tea she had brought and fell into silence.
But very quickly.
Her skin was already covered in a pink flush.
"Phew…"
Himejima Akeno took a deep breath and left as if nothing had happened.
"Tsk, Senpai Akeno left."
Linde looked regretful.
"You… Mmm… You, this guy, wouldn't also be eyeing… Akeno, would you?"
Noticing the other party leaving, Rias also let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Linde suspiciously.
Just as Linde was about to answer, Himejima Akeno had already returned.
Rias: "???"
