Chapter 37 - She's So Persistent!
"What are we going to do?"
Hearing Rias's invitation, Mahiro asked.
"The next two days are holidays. We plan to use this time to conduct a special training camp," Rias replied with a smile.
In fact, the Occult Research Club doesn't have many club activities, but it revolves around hunting stray Devils, answering summons, and training from time to time.
"Training camp?"
Mahiro looked interested.
"Yes, even if you hadn't come here today, I planned to visit you in person," Rias smiled slightly and said.
"Our special training camp will especially improve your strength."
"Then I'm really interested," Mahiro nodded, and the interest on his face became even more potent.
"However, is this okay? After all, I didn't promise to be your servant," Mahiro asked.
"I believe that when you get to know us slowly, Mahiro, you will definitely become my peerage member," Rias said confidently.
She was determined to win Mahiro over.
Although Mahiro expressed his resistance to becoming her servant, she believed it was only temporary.
He would no longer resist as long as he truly got to know them.
"What's more, you are also a member of the Occult Research Club. Training is also a part of the club's activities."
"It is natural for you to participate in club activities," Rias had a good reason.
She wanted Mahiro to know more about them so that the things in their world could attract and impress him.
"Thanks," Mahiro said.
Rias's unreserved attitude touched him, but it was impossible to promise to become her servant.
Hearing Mahiro's thanks, Rias felt satisfied.
She thought that she was one step closer to winning Mahiro over.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go," Rias said, looking around the clubroom.
She completely put aside the matter of Hyoudou Issei.
Since the other party was not the holder of the Sacred Gear, it was impossible for her to pay further attention.
"By the way, Mahiro-kun, we will stay in the training camp for two days. If you need anything, please do tell in advance," Akeno reminded with a smile and then said as if remembering something.
"Everything is prepared, so there is no need to bring any daily necessities."
After all, they would've to stay for two days.
"Nothing." Mahiro shook his head.
"Let's go then."
Rias clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back, and then walked to the center of the clubroom, activating the teleportation magic.
Hearing this, Mahiro and the others also stepped into the magic circle.
The crimson light flickered, and the five people in the magic circle were immediately teleported away.
Scenery changed.
Among the dense woods, there were a few melodious bird calls.
A soft sound was heard the next moment in the air, and a crimson light broke the silence.
An enormous magic circle slowly emerged in a clearing in the woods, startling a bird into flight.
Five figures appeared in the magic circle.
"You picked a nice place, Rias!"
Mahiro said as his eyes lit up at the scenery. It was not easy to find such a beautiful place.
"Initially, I chose several places before settling on this one."
Rias smiled gracefully, lightly fluttering her long red hair, and looked forward.
"There is a mansion in front of us, specially built for training. We will live there for the next two days."
Looking down the line of sight, a mansion could be seen, looking incredibly gorgeous in the distance.
"It's still a long way to reach the mansion, so..." Rias raised her finger in high spirits and pointed forward.
"The training camp has officially started. Let's start from here and see who arrives first."
"Of course, the last one will get punished. Today's dinner and dishes will be left to the loser." Rias smiled lightly.
"And you can't use any demonic power or anything similar."
"You can only rely on the physical strength of your body."
"That's it?"
Mahiro chuckled and shook his head, thinking it was too easy for a competition.
"Mahiro-kun, why are you shaking your head? Don't you think Rias's competition is tough?" Himejima Akeno said playfully.
"I just feel like she's taking too much care of me," Mahiro said with a light smile.
"Oh? It looks like Mahiro's so confident?" Rias smiled and glanced at Mahiro.
"But we are not weak; don't be careless! If you lose, you must prepare and wash our dishes."
Akeno smiled and said, "I want to see Mahiro's cooking skills."
"Me too!" Koneko raised her hand.
"I want to see it too!" Kiba Yuuto said.
Mahiro looked sullenly at Kiba Yuuto, "You are nothing but a bystander."
"Ara ara~ Mahiro-kun, everyone has reached a cooperation," Himejima Akeno said playfully, raising her chin with her right hand.
"In this case, everyone will do their best, and Mahiro must be placed in the last position, " Rias said, clenching her fists encouragingly.
"Hey~!"
Koneko also clenched her fist lightly. At this moment, there was excitement on her cute face.
"It's a pity you won't be able to taste my cooking today," Mahiro laughed.
Although he had become the 'public enemy,' he didn't hate this cheerful atmosphere.
"I'll let you run for ten seconds first," Mahiro said with a smile, stretching out a finger.
"Oh, Mahiro-kun, are you trying to make us angry!?" Himejima Akeno said in surprise.
"Arrogant guy!" Koneko said, dissatisfied.
"I must make you cook and wash my dishes!"
Mahiro smiled.
He was confident that after the tenfold strengthening of his physique and the strengthening of the Mystic Eye of Distortion, in terms of physique alone, only Koneko, with her Nekoshou bloodline and enhanced by the Rook piece, could compete with him.
Even Kiba Yuuto, as a Knight, was slightly inferior.
The two mages, Himejima Akeno and Rias were even worse off.
"In that case, I'm not going to hold back," Mahiro said with a smile.
Seeing Mahiro's determination, Rias gently moved her right hand, and backpacks appeared on the ground. "But before we start, everyone will carry these."
"Running with these!?" Mahiro asked, looking at the backpacks.
"Of course. If we run directly, it won't work for us at all," Rias nodded. "Don't look at it as just a backpack; it has been produced to weigh 500 pounds."
"So, Mahiro, do you want to take back what you just said?" Rias asked teasingly.
"No!" Mahiro shook his head.
"Oh well!"
Rias handed the backpacks to everyone.
When he put on the backpack, Mahiro suddenly felt his body sink.
"Three...Two...One...Start!!"
