Even before the tennis match started, many students had gathered around, eager to catch a glimpse of the school's beauties.
Badr couldn't help but secretly scratch his forehead in annoyance.
"Isn't this a bit too much..."
Koneko, who was standing nearby, overheard Badr's muttering and found it somewhat amusing.
She knew that Badr didn't like to be too conspicuous and preferred to keep a low profile on a daily basis.
On the tennis court, Rias picked up a tennis ball.
"I'm ready, Sona."
"Bring it on, Rias."
The fighting spirit between the two seemed to ignite, and with Rias' serve, the duel began.
Their tennis skills were all at a professional level, and with the added advantage of their devil-like physiques, their abilities were far superior to those of professional human players.
As a result, the intense tennis match immediately stirred the emotions of the audience.
"Wow! The President is so cool!"
"Go, Rias! Go, Akeno!!"
The crowd couldn't help but cheer them on. The four of them on the court were so attractive that they charmed everyone, regardless of gender.
At that moment, their passionate "battle" on the tennis court made the spectators feel an exhilarating high.
Koneko watched the match and whispered to Badr:
"This way, they won't be able to use magic."
"Ah... they still want to use magic..." Badr replied weakly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Sona suddenly injected magic into the tennis ball, causing its trajectory to become unpredictable and erratic.
The crowd immediately erupted in cheers:
"Wow! President's magic shot!"
Koneko was speechless for a moment.
Obviously, it was magic, but it was interpreted as a "magic shot".
Badr didn't know what to say.
With the Devils' already enhanced physical abilities, using magic seemed like overkill...
Could they show some respect for the spirit of fair competition in sports?
Badr found it both amusing and annoying. If this got out, it might make the headlines with titles like "XX Academy's Non-Professional Girls' Tennis Team Crushes National Team".
"So, our president and vice president will definitely win. You think so too, right?" Saji asked proudly from the sidelines. The match on the court was intense, and even those outside couldn't help but get involved in some rivalry.
Badr tilted his head. If it was him, he wouldn't care, but since it was Rias, he couldn't just let someone else get the upper hand.
He answered casually:
"I think Rias and Akeno won't lose to your president."
"Oh? Then let's wait and see."
Saji chuckled and raised an eyebrow when he realized something;
This guy just called Rias by her name.
Isn't he supposed to be her servant?
Is he that close to her?
If only he could be that close to President Sona... then...
Saji couldn't help but fantasize about being intimately involved with President Sona...
Heh, heh heh...
Curious, he approached Badr.
"Hey, Badr, you seem to be really close to your master?"
"Not really," Badr replied calmly.
"Just 'not really'? But you called her Rias."
Saji nudged Badr with his elbow. "Tell me, how did you get to this point?"
Badr found it strange.
"Calling her name directly... is that such a big deal?"
"Of course!" Saji said with longing in his eyes. "That's your master! How did you get so close? Please tell me!"
Hearing this, Badr could only tilt his head and think for a moment before he said:
"Rias and I are pretty much at the level of neck kissing."
"Huh!? Neck kissing?" Saji repeated, not understanding.
"No, I mean kissing, neck, connection," Badr emphasized each word.
Saji: "...??"
After a few seconds of confusion, Saji suddenly realized!
What the heck?
He looked at Badr with an awe-struck expression.
"Kissing, neck... connection? Is that what I think it means?"
Badr looked at Saji calmly.
Why is he so excited?
"...I said, just a little more to go."
That means they kissed the neck but didn't go any further...
After all, it was only this morning.
"That's still amazing!"
Saji said excitedly, suddenly bowing at a ninety-degree angle to Badr. "Master!!!"
Badr: "...??"
Master? Is that what he calls me?
Badr blinked at Saji, a little speechless.
"Who are you?"
"Master! Please accept my bow; I want to learn!"
"Go away."
"Master!!"
"Drop dead," Badr muttered, avoiding Saji's grasp.
Koneko watched them with a bit of confusion. How had their relationship suddenly become so good?
Male friendships are really inexplicable...
Badr was at a loss for words because of Saji, while the four of them played on the tennis court with such intensity that the ground seemed to shake, their magically enhanced serves making the match unpredictable.
In the end, however, their tennis rackets broke and the match ended in a draw.
Saji ran over. "President, I think I can skip catching familiars for now and let Master have this opportunity!"
Sona said: "...??"
Even Rias and the others were confused, they all turned to Badr: "...Master?"
Badr: "..."
...
The scene became silent.
Badr was speechless.
That idiot...
Rias and the others approached, still glistening with sweat from the intense tennis match, looking full of vitality.
"Badr, what's going on?" Rias asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's my charm?" Badr didn't know what to say, so he just said something random.
Rias and the others were stunned;
What charm?
Sona also looked at Saji suspiciously, her eyes questioning:
"Didn't you want a familiar before?"
"Uh... haha, well... I think I need more training. Handing out more flyers to gain experience isn't a bad idea either."
Saji scratched his head, still winking at Badr.
Badr was helpless;
He appreciated Saji's generosity, but the problem was that he really didn't know how to help this guy get closer to President Sona.
"Since Saji said so, we'll pass on this opportunity." Sona decided to respect Saji's decision.
"Hehe, thank you on behalf of Badr and Asia."
After chatting for a while, the student council members left, and Saji, still winking at Badr, pulled him aside before leaving.
"Master! How did I do? Teach me some tricks!"
"Can you stop calling me master?" Badr rolled his eyes and said, "If you like your president, why don't you just confess to her?"
Saji was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head with some embarrassment.
"I tried..."
"Hmm?" This time Badr was a little surprised. "You tried? What happened?"
"When I confessed, the president thought I was joking. What should I do..." he said, looking worried.
