Chapter 43 - Is This Your First Time!?
"No wonder."
Yuuto nodded knowingly.
"Mahiro-san, if you had used your magic eye to fight me just now, I might have been trounced."
If Mahiro had used the magic eye from the beginning, Yuuto felt he might have been at a greater disadvantage.
"It's just a normal spar. If you had used the Sacred Gear, there's no way to tell who would win," Mahiro shook his head.
After completing the quest, his swordsmanship and physique improved respectively, and Mahiro naturally had the confidence to suppress Yuuto.
But before completing the quest, Mahiro was not sure he was better than Yuuto, even without using the Mystic Eye of Death Perception.
"It also has a second function."
Mahiro also mentioned the Mystic Eye of Distortion so he wouldn't have to explain it later.
Mahiro closed his eyes and opened them again.
Red cross symbols replaced the blue eyes.
"Another function?" Akeno's eyes widened.
Under normal circumstances, the ability of a magic eye is relatively simple, but now Mahiro's magic eye has a second function!
"Yes," Mahiro nodded. "The second function is absorbing and transforming magic power/demonic power."
The cross symbol, composed of runes, makes Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Yuuto feel chill.
After all, Devils hate crosses, especially crosses with such particular runes.
Mahiro pointed to his eyes, "This function can completely cancel magic attacks/demonic attacks to a certain extent, but I haven't tested its full limits."
"So, It has two functions!?" Rias asked curiously.
"That's right," Mahiro answered vaguely.
He didn't explain that the Mystic Eye of Death Perception and the Mystic Eye of Distortion were two different magic eyes.
Instead, he described them as two distinct functions of the same magic eye.
He only gave a rough outline of the functions of the two magic eyes and did not explain them in detail.
Otherwise, Rias and the others might be even more shocked.
Having two kinds of magic eyes in one person was too incredible.
If someone could awaken one kind of magic eye, they could already be called lucky.
"Mahiro-kun, if you have magic power, it shouldn't be a problem to use magic," Rias said with a wry smile.
"Well, but my magic power is somewhat different from yours. I don't know if I can use magic smoothly," Mahiro thought for a while and said.
"If that's the case, you can leave it to Akeno. Before reincarnating as a Devil, Akeno was a shrine maiden and had a certain degree of research on magic and onmyoji." Rias said with some frustration.
She was a little unwilling in her heart.
The plans that had already been formulated were utterly disrupted.
Is this guy her nemesis?
Now that Mahiro has awakened his magic power, does he still need to be reincarnated as a Devil?
The answer was obviously no.
Rias knew that the fact that a Reincarnated Devil could possess demonic power was no longer attractive to Mahiro.
So what else could attract Mahiro?
Her identity as the heir to the Gremory Clan!?
Her Beauty!?
For the first time, Rias felt powerless.
Rias knew her hope of persuading Mahiro to become her servant was getting slimmer.
"It's not a big problem. But except for the Demonic lightning that I'm best at, I only know some basic magic skills," Akeno nodded and explained.
"You might not be able to use it."
"So, apart from teleportation magic, I can teach you only some ordinary magic."
'I remember that she has holy lightning which was inherited from her fallen angel father — Baraqiel.'
Like Rias's P.O.D., it was a racial talent/magic that could not be taught.
'Wait a sec, Lightning?'
'Raikiri should be lightning-type!'
Mahiro didn't know whether his newly mastered Secret Technique - Raikiri, was considered lightning-type.
If he remembered correctly, the Secret Technique - Raikiri was not just a sword-drawing skill but a proper noble art.
The 'noble art' is a unique term in "The Chivalry of a Failed Knight."
When using it, it would consume a lot of mana.
The Secret Technique - Raikiri was a kind of noble art with lightning-type attributes.
"That's enough," Mahiro thanked with a smile.
For magic, he valued practicality more.
"Mahiro-kun, As I have previously told you the essentials of teleportation magic. Do you want to try it yourself?" Akeno suggested.
"Yeah!" Mahiro also wanted to try it out.
"However, some of the magic formulas needs to be modified," Akeno thought for a while and said.
She was a Reincarnated Devil and usually used Demonic power for teleportation.
However, certain modifications were naturally needed for a human like Mahiro, whose magic is different from that of Demonic power.
"Here...um...here, and here, the direction of the flow of magic power also needs to be modified," Akeno crouched down, drew a magic formula on the ground, and then erased and modified it.
After repeating it a few times, the new magic circle was finally laid before Mahiro.
"Alright, Mahiro-kun, this is the new magic circle. You can try it," Akeno tapped her lips with her fingers.
"For starters, let's set the destination at a hundred meters distance."
Mahiro nodded and followed the modified instructions given by Akeno, mobilizing the magic power/mana in his body, and began to use the teleportation magic.
Under Mahiro's feet, silver-colored lines appeared one by one, and then a magic circle formed.
When the magic circle was formed, Mahiro's figure disappeared.
An identical magic circle appeared a hundred meters away, which was the destination set by Mahiro.
After the magic circle appeared, Mahiro emerged.
"Is this your first time!?"
Seeing this scene, Akeno opened her mouth slightly and said incredulously.
