I couldn't help but chuckle at Sona's directness. "Yes, Albedo is also a supernatural being," I confirmed with a nod. "And yes, she's fully aware of it."
I couldn't help but notice the exchanged glances between Sona and Rias. It seemed my revelation about Albedo's supernatural nature had only fueled their suspicions further. Well, I couldn't blame them for being curious. After all, it's not every day you meet someone with a walking, talking succubus for a sister.
Rias's next question brought my attention back to the present. "What was the spell you used on Issey?" she inquired, her tone tinged with curiosity.
Ah, the {Brave Heart} spell. It had certainly worked wonders on Issey, but explaining its effects to Rias and the others might prove to be a tad... tricky.
"Well, you see, {Brave Heart} is a spell that helps one maintain a rational mindset in emergency situations," I explained, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. "By casting it on Issey, I ensured that she could think clearly without succumbing to panic. And as a bonus, it helped alleviate the trauma of her recent demise. All in a day's work, really."
As I finished my explanation, I couldn't help but notice Sona eyeing me with a keen gaze. Was she sizing me up? Or perhaps she was trying to discern if I possessed any magical abilities of my own.
Sorry, Sona-chan, I am not that easy to disclose.
"Are you a mage?" Sona asked suddenly, her tone neutral but her eyes betraying a hint of curiosity.
I couldn't help but chuckle at the question. Me, a mage? Now that was a hilarious thought.
"I won't call myself a mage but I know some trick or two." Sona sighed after hearing my answer.
"Well, I suppose we all have our ways of getting by in this world," she remarked, her tone tinged with a hint of amusement.
Just as the conversation was settling into a comfortable rhythm, Rias interjected with a question of her own, catching me off guard once again.
"Hey, Alex, are you interested in becoming a devil?" she asked, her voice curious yet casual.
Rias's question hit me like a bolt from the blue, and without a moment's hesitation, I blurted out my response.
"I'm not interested," I said quickly, my words coming out faster than I could process them. There was no need for contemplation or consideration; the answer was clear in my mind.
And even by millions, no, billion chance I said yes, they won't able to convert me into a devil because they don't have power.
Rias's eyebrows raised in surprise at my immediate response, but her expression remained curious, prompting me to explain further.
"Why? Do you also think devils are inherently evil beings?" she inquired, her tone gentle yet probing.
I shook my head, feeling the weight of my convictions settle within me. "I don't believe in something like evil from birth," I explained, my voice firm with conviction. "Because of that, you can rest assured that I don't think you guys are evil or anything."
It was a belief I had held for as long as I could remember, shaped by my experiences and observations of the world around me.
I had always been of the opinion that individuals were not defined by their origins or inherent nature, but rather by their actions and choices.
After all, I had encountered beings of various backgrounds and affiliations throughout my life, and I had witnessed firsthand that goodness and evil existed in every corner of existence, regardless of one's species or lineage.
In 2126, I consider most humans to be selfish beings who destroy their world for progress.
But that belief was soon destroyed when I first met 'Blue Planet', one of my best friends. He is someone who made me understand that even in that fucked up world there are still good people.
Hearing my replie, Rias regarded me with a thoughtful expression, her blue eyes reflecting a depth of understanding that resonated with my own beliefs.
"I appreciate your perspective, Alex," she said, her tone appreciative. "It's refreshing to meet someone who sees beyond the stereotypes and prejudices that often cloud judgment in our world."
Her words warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but smile in response. It was reassuring to know that Rias respected my viewpoint, even if it differed from the norm within the supernatural community.
"As for your decision regarding becoming a devil, Alex," Rias continued, her voice gentle yet encouraging, "I want you to know that the offer will always stand. Should you ever change your mind or wish to explore the possibility further, my door is always open."
Sorry, that would never happen.
But her words were a testament to her sincerity and openness, and I felt a surge of gratitude towards her for her understanding and acceptance.
"Thank you, Rias," I replied, "I'll definitely keep that in mind."
After Rias, it was Sona's turn.
"Alexander, which club are you planning to join? As a new transfer student, you need to join a club. If you are interested in any club, just say so."
Ah, the classic high school club conundrum. It's like being handed the menu at a fancy restaurant and realizing you have no idea what half the items even are.
"I am thinking of joining Chess Club."
