DxD: Wrong Way

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - Afternoon Tea



The incomplete talent is definitely not as good as the full version, but at least it is not a temporary talent.

No matter what, it is better than nothing.

Aoki decided to use it first, believing that when the time comes, the missing talent will naturally be filled. He looked at his new talent with great joy and excitement.

The powerful Shinra Tsubaki was different from the hot trio heroines

An incomplete version of the mirror reflection talent was more valuable than any talent he had obtained before.

Twenty percent of the damage suffered from the rebound was equivalent to wearing a small piece of anti-armor.

This was still an incomplete version—the full mirror reflection talent could return at least half of the damage, not to mention 100%.

Taking advantage of the break between classes, Aoki found a few lucky individuals to test it out.

The effect was gratifying.

Although the mirror reflection talent did not strengthen Aoki's own defense and could not reduce damage, it was a passive skill that could be activated all the time.

No matter what kind of damage he received or whether the target of the attack was alive or dead, it could be returned.

The only downside was that it did not target the source of the damage like anti-armor would.

Instead, twenty percent of the damage Aoki suffered would be counterattacked with invisible energy.

It was fast but not guaranteed to hit the stronger the enemy, the lower the chances of counterattacking.

Seeing the criminals' doubtful eyes on life, Aoki generously expressed that he didn't care about their previous rude behavior just one hit from him and it would all be over.

The lucky ones were very angry

They had done well extorting money, yet Aoki took the initiative to do bad things without saying anything negative about them and now he still acted nonchalant!

As bad guys, didn't they want to save face?

Therefore, each of them wanted to receive a hospitalization package.

At 3:00 PM

Aoki returned to the student council room amidst everyone's envious, jealous, and hate-filled eyes.

Along the way, Shinra Tsubaki and Himejima Akeno held him by his arms.

One on his left and one on his right.

They could only watch; they couldn't eat while a group of people stared at them with knife-like eyes…

Feeling warmth and fragrance coming from both sides along with their continuous closeness made Aoki feel both pain and happiness.

When they arrived, Sona Shitori and Rias had already prepared black tea. The two silently gazed out of the window while sipping their tea with satisfaction.

"President, Rias-senpai, good afternoon," Aoki greeted them as he joined their afternoon tea party with hugs from left to right.

The eldest daughter of a famous family was different;

Everything about her from her sitting posture to her conversation revealed her self-care.

Her waist and back were straight; her full chest rose and fell slightly while her slender legs were close together at an angle.

She leisurely brought her porcelain teacup with gold trim to her lips; her thin red lips parted slightly as she expelled hot air.

The beauty was picturesque; although this wasn't his first time seeing this scene, Aoki still couldn't bear to look away.

No matter when he saw it or how many times he saw it, it always dazzled him.

Noticing Aoki's lost gaze, Rias gently put down her teacup and smiled lightly.

"Uesugi-kun, it's been several days. Have you decided who you will choose?"

It looked nice but other than making Aoki more determined to win their hearts.

It wasn't enough to change his will. It felt like a beauty trap that he'd first accept with a smile.

As for strategy…

go as far as possible.

Aoki smiled naively and scratched his head shyly. "Rias-senpai, I haven't thought about it yet…"

Rias rolled her eyes in response while pretending otherwise.

After observing him for several days, she knew Aoki was definitely not just a simple fool

Even if he appeared sly or ghost-like.

"Don't think about taking them all"

Rias said angrily.

"But before we run out of chess pieces, if you've thought about it you're welcome anytime."

Sona nodded in agreement; they had already given Aoki enough face. If it wasn't meant to be there was no need to force things.

It remained important for both parties to willingly accept a clerk.

It would be best not to accept someone who is obedient yet rebellious by nature.

Aoki smiled and stopped talking; keeping things going like this felt good for him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity allowed him chances to get closer to beautiful girls on both sides

There might not be substantial resource support but as long as he could win them over and obtain talents it would still be a sure gain for him.

After some usual questioning,Rias went straight into today's topic: "Sona have you thought up any way to detect those three suspicious people?"

"There isn't any good method," Sona frowned; this issue had been bothering her all day long.

"Also unless key evidence is found or if they personally admit wrongdoing. Even if we determine who did it we won't be able fire them."

"Just because your student union can't do anything doesn't mean our Occult Research Society can't," Rias said disapprovingly.

"Teach them a lesson and there will be plenty ways available for making them leave school."

Sona wanted to say something but held back.

She couldn't bring herself around saying anything further either.

The butt determines head as president she couldn't support such actions nor could she allow anyone else doing so either.

Once someone finds out,it'd feel like being slapped in face and no one would listen again afterwards!

But Rias was different, she's merely ministering within club soon-to-be abolished.

As next head Gremory family, nobody would dare say anything even if strayed slightly off path!

She possessed strength & power

Aoki's eyes lit up, the sooner this matter resolved, the better!

Once resolved,Rias & Sona wouldn't continue paying him attention anymore.

When their anger subsided without waiting for response from him

They'd definitely stop caring altogether!

Without help finding rat targeting him seemed almost impossible

That's why earlier proposed violent solution this morning.

Simple & crude often means solving problems quickly!

Sona disagreed asking Shinra Tsubaki drag him away but now seems likely Rias might agree method too!

Amidst Sona's speechless expression,Aoki enthusiastically repeated what he said earlier:

"Well,it's not that you can't do it."

Rias chuckled,"But…"

As everyone knows above nonsense.

Rias said could happen but reputation Occult Research Society & even hers would suffer consequences. Aoki merely young lady known few days, why should she act?

If Aoki became dependent then as master she couldn't shirk responsibility!

She'll send people arrest three suspicious individuals bringing them Occult Research Department with few spells truth revealed immediately!

When hearing this, Aoki made disapproving face.

He couldn't induce intimidation easily but how could give in so easily?

"Since Rias-senpai doesn't want help. I'll do myself."

Aoki just received talent greatly increasing combat power—his hands itching!

"But I hope Rias & President can help me deal consequences."
