บท 6: Congratulations, Akeno-senpai!

Chapter 6 - Congratulations, Akeno-senpai!

Looking back, Mahiro focused on the system again.

"Get a beginner gift pack, please check it."

"Would you like to open the beginner gift pack?"

The system asked.

"Open it, I want to see what's inside."

Mahiro nodded slightly, with a bit of anticipation.

If there was some kind of Longinus type Sacred Gear, it would be a dream come true.

Although he knew it was a bit impractical.

"Ding! Open the beginner gift pack."

With Mahiro's agreement, a series of prompts sounded in his mind, reminding him that the new reward had arrived.

"Get one hundred points."

"Get the Basic Physique Mastery Card."

"Get the Basic Swordsmanship Mastery Card."

"Get a skill card - Intuition/Instinct."

"Get a skill card - Instant Sword-Slash Card."

Looking at the items, although they could have been more precious, Mahiro was satisfied.

Item: Basic Physique Mastery Card.

Grade: E

Effect: After use, you can master the most basic physique.

Item: Basic Swordsmanship Mastery Card.

Grade: E

Effect: After use, you can master the most basic sword techniques.

Item: Instant Sword-Slash Card.

Grade: E

Effect: Use a sword-like weapon to deliver a fatal slash the moment it is unsheathed.

Item: Intuition Skill Card.

Grade: D

Effect: After use, you will gain extraordinary Intuition and be able to make the most appropriate judgments in battle.

The explanation of the first two items was straightforward. Mahiro understood it at a glance.

"Will it be used with the Tenfold Enhancement Card?"

Mahiro pondered.

They were all suitable for the first reward, whether they were proficient in basic physical skills, basic swordsmanship, or slashing.

With enhanced physiques, they could undoubtedly exert greater power.

The last skill card, Intuition, should be the highest reward this time, not only in grade but also in value.

"Intuition/Instinct? If I remember correctly, it is an inherent skill of King Arthur, isn't it?"

Mahiro touched his chin and considered using Intuition(Instinct) to make the most effective judgments. This skill was significantly helpful in battle.

"I want to try it out quickly to see how powerful it is."

Mahiro was eager but suppressed his urgency and did not use it hastily.

After all, he was still on a Trial quest, and suddenly becoming stronger could be problematic as those heroines were not simple, they would instantly find out; he's not normal.

Besides, these rewards could be used anytime, so there is no need to worry.

...

The old schoolhouse.

Akeno walked to the Occult Research Club's room with light steps.

Recalling what had happened just now, her mouth couldn't help but smile happily.

Pushing open the door of the Occult Research Club, Akeno walked in.

In addition to Rias, Toujou Koneko and Kiba Yuuto were also there.

"Rare, Akeno, you're so late."

After seeing Akeno, Rias, who was sitting at the desk, smiled. She didn't mean to blame her; she just felt curious.

"There were some delays, so I was late."

Akeno answered truthfully.

"It looks like a good thing."

Rias noticed that the smile on Akeno's face was more pleasant than her standard smile.

"It really was a good thing. I was confessed to by a junior."

None of them were surprised to hear this, whether it was Rias, Kiba Yuuto, or Koneko.

Given Akeno's popularity at Kuoh Academy, it was not surprising to be confessed to by a junior.

"…"

Rias stroked her forehead, sighed, and said, "You didn't strike him, did you? If you let him down, Kuoh Academy will have another problem."

As a childhood friend, Rias knew Akeno's character very well.

Although Akeno was an onesan figure at Kuoh Academy, her real personality differed.

"On the contrary, I agreed."

With a bright smile, Akeno gave an answer that surprised them.

"What!!!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, all three looked at Akeno in surprise.

Koneko opened her mouth slightly, looked at Akeno in surprise, and even forgot to eat her snack.

She knew well that Akeno had always refused confessions in the past two years.

So why did she suddenly announce her relationship today?

"Akeno-senpai, did you really agree to date that boy?"

Koneko's pale golden eyes revealed surprise, and her expression broke her usual stoic demeanour.

"Congratulations, Akeno-senpai."

Kiba Yuuto said congratulations with a warm smile and then stood quietly like a knight.

He wasn't very interested in the topic between girls and didn't want to interject.

"Ara ara~, are you surprised? Guys."

Akeno smiled lightly, "However, I didn't lie to you, I did agree because it seemed very interesting."

Rias replied, "You, who originally said you wouldn't fall in love, suddenly announced your relationship, which is surprising."

"Because the person this time seemed very interesting, I agreed on impulse."

Akeno explained.

"Akeno-senpai found an exciting student. Can you introduce him to us?"

Koneko asked curiously, very interested in the person Akeno spoke of.

"I'm afraid it won't work for now. I still want to have some fun. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, maybe I'll introduce him to you."

"Did you say 'fun'?"

"Did I? President?"

Akeno blinked playfully.

"I always think that the junior you're dating will be unlucky. In short, don't go too far."

Rias sighed. She had grown up with Akeno and could quickly see some tricky things in her demeanour and sensed a hint of mischief.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Akeno reassured her with a smile, though recalling Mahiro Toma's figure, she couldn't shake the feeling that he had some secrets.

As a Fallen Angel and Devil, she was especially sensitive to such things.

Although Mahiro's acting skills were excellent, Akeno, being perceptive, sensed something was off. She agreed to the relationship out of curiosity and playfulness.

"You can decide for yourself."

Rias nodded and put the matter aside for now. She stood up from her seat, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, everyone. It's been delayed long enough. Let's start today's club activities."
