When the two girls introduced themselves, they both glanced subtly at Lei Zhe, who maintained a cold and expressionless gaze. They did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations because of their arrival, and their eyes were as if they were looking at two pieces of cured meat on the podium.
Unable to understand how those demons from Kuoh Town had suddenly arrived here, Reiji felt wary, suspicious, and annoyed by their presence.
If these guys come here, wouldn't the same thing that happened to them happen right here in this school?!
Looking at the adorable little Mashiro beside him, Raize's indifferent gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp.
That's absolutely unacceptable! Anyone who dares to cause trouble here must be killed!
Om-!
In an instant, an immense and brutal spiritual pressure was released from Raize's body, a magnificent soul pressure that ordinary people could not perceive at all.
In an instant, it completely enveloped the entire Zongwu High School.
Rias and Sona, who had just sat down, suddenly froze. With their extraordinary perception as pure-blooded demons, they naturally felt the soul pressure that ordinary people could not sense.
Rias and Shiki Sona were both trembling slightly, but they were completely unable to move.
Although the other party did not look at them, the violent black and red spiritual pressure that filled their vision permeated the entire classroom and even the academy.
The other students didn't seem to notice anything; their expressions remained normal during class. Some of the male students were even glancing at Rias and the others, especially at Rias's enormous heart.
Within that dark red spiritual pressure, pairs of cold, golden eyes were staring at Rias and the others.
Not only the two of them, but also the demon familiars in the other classes showed expressions of terror on their faces.
Shirou Tokimoto and Issei Hyoudou, who were in a bad mood, started screaming in terror in the classroom when they saw this horrifying scene. The teacher and students were startled and stared at them as if they were crazy.
The Black Dragon King, Furido, resides within the divine artifact [Black Dragon Vein] inside Shirou Tokimoto's body, but the soul residing within is incomplete.
Now, having been suppressed by Raiji's violent spiritual pressure and regaining some consciousness, the dragon soul immediately became agitated.
You will die! Your soul will be scattered! You will be completely devoured, leaving not a trace!
The remnant soul of the Black Evil Dragon King, Furido, sensed that it would be annihilated from this violent soul pressure.
Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou from the other classes, as well as the handsome Yuuto Kiba, were all sweating profusely. The black and red spiritual pressure surrounding them and the cold gazes from within made their souls tremble and tremble with fear.
Thus, the exchange students who transferred on the first day all finished their morning classes with stiff expressions.
At Reiji's cold command, all the demons obediently went to the [Mysticism Research Club] activity room, which Rias had already arranged through connections and means.
The interior is decorated just like a top-tier VIP room, exuding an atmosphere of wealth and grandeur.
When the transfer procedures were arranged, Rias and the others had already set up a base here through various means. Now, they were 'kindly and amicably' invited here by Reiji to discuss matters.
Rezhe was now casually sitting in a chair, continuously releasing a torrent of violent spiritual pressure that surrounded the demons amidst their stiff and wary expressions.
"Oh dear~ Doesn't this gentleman get tired of keeping up like this? You must have something to talk to us about, we can't communicate like this."
A beautiful woman with long, black hair tied in a ponytail that reached her knees, possessing the air of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), and a stiff smile on her face, tried her best to maintain a normal tone when talking to the indifferent-looking Rai Zhe.
They are all being coerced now, and they have no doubt that this terrifying force will attack them if they make any unusual moves.
“I’m not tired. I can keep this up for several weeks. I do have some questions for you.” Reiji didn’t respond to Himejima Akeno’s words, instead cutting her off immediately: “What are you demons doing here?”
"Just this?" Hyoudou Issei asked nervously, his voice trembling.
"Because of this, this is about whether you can walk out of this school with your heads held high." Rai Tsutomu said in a very cold tone, glancing casually at Hyoudou Issei.
This domineering tone, as if everything was under control, made the two demon princesses, who had grown up with this attitude, very uncomfortable. However, Rias and Shiki Sona couldn't really refute it because they were the weaker party.
I originally thought the other party was just a human artifact wielder with some strength, but now that he looks like this, he's more than just a little bit strong!
The opponent's berserk power is somewhat similar to Rias's destructive power. Rias believes she has a fighting chance, but only a fighting chance. If they really fight, everyone present will die.
"...Could you please put away this posture for a moment? It's not easy to talk to you like this. We have no ill intentions in coming here." Although Shiki Sona was being coerced, his eyes remained fixed on Rai Tetsuo without backing down.
Whether there was malicious intent or not is for me to judge.
Reiji did not disperse the surrounding spiritual pressure; instead, he spread all the spiritual pressure surrounding these demons onto the walls and ceiling of the house.
Rias and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they remained on high alert, their bodies still tense.
Sona and the others glanced around the room, then gestured to Rias with their eyes, signaling her to give them a seat so she could speak.
Rias expressed her understanding, a hint of bitterness appearing on her face. Gone was the assertiveness she displayed in Kuoh Town; she spoke very politely to Reiji:
"I suppose you are not someone who knows nothing. You should have learned about my identity from my self-introduction in the classroom. I am the next patriarch of the Gremory family, a superior demon family."
"The current number of demons is entirely dependent on Ajeka, one of the four great demon kings. Although the number of reincarnated demons is increasing, the number of pure-blooded demons is still on the verge of extinction."
“Because my brother inherited the Demon King’s throne, I am the only one left in the Gremory family who can continue the pure bloodline. That’s why my family arranged a husband for me early on to continue the pure-blooded demon bloodline.”
"And the reason I came to this region where the power struggles are so intense is... to escape an arranged marriage."
Even Rias herself felt a little embarrassed when she finished speaking, since the reason sounded a bit ridiculous and melodramatic.
But seeing that Reiji's expression hadn't changed, Rias glanced at Sona beside her and continued, "I came here on my own. Sona is my good friend. She came along because she was worried about me."
"That's why we're here. It may sound a bit... complicated, but I swear on my surname, Gremory, I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you."
The familiars led by Shinra Tachihime on Sona's side couldn't help but glance at Rias a few more times. It seems that this seemingly glamorous pure-blooded demon lady is indeed not easy in some ways, but she is also quite willful.
In order to escape the arranged marriage, he came directly to a region where the power dynamics were extremely chaotic.
Even Hyoudou Issei looked distressed for his captain, never expecting that his exchange student would have such a fiancé-like situation.
Rias didn't have a chance to tell him this, that he had the intention to help his club president, but his strength was not yet sufficient.
Moreover, this is Rias's family matter. If Rias hadn't made the seductive move she did in the original story, Hyoudou Issei probably wouldn't have acted the way he did back then.
"That sounds so melodramatic. I'm not interested in demon family disputes, but could you please turn back?" Reiji cracked his knuckles and looked at Rias speechlessly. "Your method is just a temporary fix. Are you looking to die by coming to this area with such serious power struggles? Running away from your arranged marriage here won't solve anything. You'll be caught and taken back sooner or later."
Damn it, what are you doing here if you're running away from your wedding? If you lure out those demon kings behind you, won't the power struggles here become even more chaotic?
These guys are just a walking source of trouble. Can't you guys just go back to your Kuoh Town and develop properly? Even though Hyoudou Issei had his Crimson Dragon Emperor Soul stolen by his system, he can still use the divine artifact.
You, Rias, the switch princess, should let Hyoudou Issei touch or look at you, so that this Issei-kun can unleash his full potential and at least defeat your fiancé, that turkey, right?
“...I know that.” Rias’s face was bitter, but then she looked at Reiji with a determined look and said, “I’m almost ready to accept my fate.”
But I also want to struggle and resist, to see if there's any hope of change. Even if I fail, it will be better; at least I'll have tried.
Rias no longer had any intention of recruiting Reiji. He was much stronger than her. How could a weak person have a strong person as their familiar?
Although she admired Lei Zhe's strength, she wasn't stupid. If she said it out loud, she would definitely be ridiculed, and in more serious cases, he might even take action.
"Heh, the way you resist is truly hilarious, you devil."
Reiji curled his lip at Rias's argument. This world is one where the strong are respected, and ultimately, strength is what matters. Even if Rias wanted to resist, she shouldn't have resorted to such a ridiculous method.
"If you can't control your own destiny, then become stronger. If you are stronger than your fiancé, you can turn the tables in this situation. With superior strength, you only need to state your requirements for a partner, and he will have the face and ability to marry you."
"Your Gremory family produced a Demon King, Sazex, and he's even your brother! With that kind of advantage, why don't you strive to become stronger and instead run away from your arranged marriage here?!"
Reiji's blunt words caused Rias and Shiki Sona's expressions to fluctuate, and their familiars couldn't help but look at their masters.
Although it sounds harsh, it makes sense. Both Rias and Sona Shito have excellent conditions for becoming stronger.
Shirou looked very nervous. He was thinking about his own student council president's situation. Compared to Rias's situation, perhaps his beloved student council president would also face such a day.
In that situation, what's needed is the strength that Rai Zhe mentioned.
Rias herself is quite strong among demons of her age, but she knows she is not strong enough. Instead of asking her brother for advice on how to train and become stronger, she focuses on developing her familiars and tries to find some powerful ones.
This is putting the cart before the horse. According to the original work, Rias has good talent. With her older brother, who is a Transcendent, carefully guiding her, how could she not be able to defeat Phoenix?
Just as Reiji said, now that he's stronger, does that guy from Phoenix's family have the nerve and the ability to marry Rias?
If the man is stronger than the woman, it's normal for her to be proactive and assertive. However, if the woman is stronger than the man, it's a bit unreasonable for her to insist on marriage, as it clearly suggests she's a gold digger.
How could a pure-blooded demon family, which values bloodline and family honor, tolerate this situation?
Reiji didn't want to get involved in Rias's trivial matters; their presence here would only cause their troubles to affect many others.
He himself wasn't afraid of trouble, but some people around him were different. Hiratsuka Shizuka, the Shirogane siblings, and Shiina Mashiro were the few people he cared about besides his family. Letting Rias and the others stay here would only affect innocent people.
He immediately withdrew his spiritual pressure encirclement and politely dismissed the guests, saying:
"Ladies and gentlemen of the devilish realm, since you have no ill intentions in coming here, I will not lay a hand on you. However, you are quite troublesome. If you remain here, you will make this area even more..."
“Rumble——!!!”
Before Lei Zhe could finish speaking, a deafening roar came from outside, followed by an extremely violent earthquake.
Earthquakes are normal in Japan, but this powerful earthquake was not caused by nature; it was caused by a supernatural being unleashing magical power.
"trouble..."
Lei Zhe, looking somewhat grim, uttered the final two words, also responding to the sudden situation.
Rias and the others also sensed a surge of—no, a large group of—high-energy magical energy appearing in this area, not far from their current school.
P.S.: Please vote and recommend! I got back from my relative's house quite late, sorry everyone.
Chapter Nine: Things from Another World
"Minister, the sky..."
Tajo Shiro's cute, expressionless face turned tense as she pointed to the sky outside the room window.
Everyone immediately looked over and saw that the once clear sky above the clouds had suddenly turned into a dense cloud cover, and a huge spatial black hole vortex had appeared out of nowhere.
It was a massive spatial portal, within which bursts of energy lightning constantly erupted.
A dark and gloomy aura leaked out from it and began to spread down to the city below.
"Damn it! What kind of fearless bastards dare to cause trouble here, especially coming in a group? Heh, I'll kill you all!!"
Sensing a large group of malevolent beings approaching from the massive spatial portal above, and knowing that Razer's own home was not far below the portal, right where he was having his rebellious rage.
I was already in a bad mood today because of Rias and her group of demons who suddenly appeared, but now I'm even more furious because of this damn bastard who suddenly appeared again.
Enraged, Rai Zhe burst forth with terrifying killing intent and bloodlust, leaving behind a shadow clone to watch over Hiratsuka Shizuka and Mashiro. Immediately, amidst the stunned gazes of the demons around him, he kicked down the wall in front of him.
After saying that, Lei Zhe, who was as impatient as a demon god and exuding a terrifying killing intent, rushed out and instantly disappeared into the subspace with a move called Asura Flash.
Only these few demons with stiff expressions remained.
"Rias, I'm starting to doubt whether coming here with you was the right thing to do."
The first to recover was Shizuku Sona. Cold sweat trickled down her forehead from the sudden burst of killing intent from Raiji. She pushed up her crooked glasses and stared at the horrifying scene in the distance with a grim expression.
Upon arriving here, they were greeted with a "warm welcome" by the locals. This sudden scene feels like they were abruptly thrust into a battlefield.
