At this moment, Akeno had truly mastered her own power.
Regardless, the blood flowing within her originated from the fallen angel Baraqiel. Due to her aversion to her father, she was unwilling to accept her own bloodline. Instead, she used the power of the devil bloodline obtained through reincarnation.
In this situation, she was just holding herself back, making it difficult to become stronger.
Her potential was no less than Rias, and her father, Baraqiel, was a top-level fallen angel, second only to Governor Azazel among the fallen angels.
In terms of bloodline, Rias's father was just a top-level devil. There wasn't much difference between the two, one was bathed in the love of thousands, while the other was manipulated by fate, experiencing a rough path.
"Holy Lightning!"
Rumble~
A burst of thunderlight flashed through the old school building, followed by a deafening roar.
Among the Student Council, Sona, feeling this surge of magic power, stopped her work and looked towards the direction of the Occult Research Club. She was curious about what August was doing.
This wave of magical power fluctuations had reached the level of a high-level devil. This meant that, besides Rias, one of her peerages had reached the level of a high-level devil.
This made her envious because none of her subordinates were high-level devils.
Even Tsubaki, who was now a middle-level devil, still had some distance to go before reaching the level of a high-level devil.
On the other hand, the Occult Research Club's clubhouse was now in chaos.
August was dumbfounded. What, do you have a tradition of tearing down houses here? First Rias, then you. You gain new powers, and you just have to show them off?
"Akeno..."
As the person closest to Akeno, August naturally suffered from the attack of the thunderlight.
As for Rias and the others, they were devils and weren't injured. However, the entire clubhouse was now in ruins.
But Rias didn't mind at all. It was just a clubhouse. They could build a new one. However, Akeno accepting her own power and reaching the level of a high-level demon was the important thing.
"Um, sorry, it was just subconscious~"
"Subconscious or not, you struck me. I can't even accuse you of doing it on purpose. What, seeking revenge for yesterday's incident?"
"Really, I didn't. It was truly accidental."
Akeno hurriedly explained, as August was somewhat like her teacher.
"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now. If it happens again, see how I deal with you."
Brushing off the wood debris from his body, August was not in a good mood. He helped you become stronger, and you still hit him. Is there any justice in this?
Next, August's gaze fell on Koneko. In an instant, Koneko looked at August warily, as if expecting him to do something to her.
August felt that if she returned to her original appearance now, she might have exploded.
"Koneko, I guess I don't need to say much about your situation."
"I will become stronger."
Although her voice was not loud, it was still very determined. She didn't want to use her original power.
"Give me a reason."
"I don't want to end up like my sister, eventually turning into that."
While speaking, a trace of fear flashed in Koneko's eyes, a fear of her own power.
In the Underworld, the story of the older sister, Kuroka, had spread. Because Kuroka, after becoming high-level devil, had her power rapidly expand, one day she killed her master and ran away to become a stray devil.
Under pressure from the outside world due to her sister's actions, she didn't want to use her true power and became silent and introverted. She even changed her name, no longer calling herself 'Shirone' but 'Koneko.'
"Do you really think your sister lost herself because of her power, so she killed her master?"
"What do you mean?"
Koneko's gaze suddenly changed, and not only her, but the others' gazes also changed.
Rias's peerages all had interesting backgrounds. Each of them carried a different tragedy, perhaps the author wanted to use this to let the protagonist charm these girls later.
"What do you mean by this? Kuroka killed her master, and even wanted to kill Koneko. This is an irrefutable fact."
Rias couldn't help but speak because what August said was, in a sense, hitting the devils in the face.
"Is it really a fact? Rias, you are still too young. You haven't seen even a thousandth of the darkness in the Underworld."
"You..."
Wanting to refute, but after seeing August's serious expression, she suddenly held back.
"Have you heard of Super Devil Project?"
"Super Devil Project?"
Rias was suddenly confused, and at the same time, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"The so-called 'Super Devil Project' is the artificial creation of beings that transcend normal standards. Currently, there are only two Supers in the Underworld, one is your brother, Sirzechs, and the other is Satan Beelzebub, Ajuka."
"Super?"
"That's right. The House of Nebiros secretly researched how to created super devil, and they chose Fujimai from Nekoshou race."
"Fujimai? Is that Koneko's mother?"
"That's right. However, that researcher just used Fujimai, and Koneko's father as experimental subject. In an accidental experiment, both of them were killed, leaving only Kuroka and Koneko."
"This..."
This explanation had a huge impact on Rias and Koneko, especially Koneko. Her father was actually with her mother for this so-called 'Super Devil Project'?
"Why did Kuroka kill her master?"
"Why? Because she wanted to protect her last relative and also her most beloved sister."
One statement was like a bolt from the blue, making Koneko's head explode.
"Are you saying that my sister did it for me?"
"Don't you understand? The Naberius family that adopted you was the mastermind behind all this. They accepted you as peerages just because they saw your potential. Your sister underwent experiments for you, and in the end, she killed her master for you."
"Kuroka-nee~"
Koneko stood still, and the figure of Kuroka in her mind kept flashing.
From childhood to adulthood, her sister had always been the one who loved her the most. No matter what it was, she would give it to her first. No matter what happened, she would think of her first.
Originally, she thought her sister killed her master because her power went berserk. Unexpectedly, it was for her sake.
