DxD: Transfer Student

Chapter 9: The Summoning x Contract

Do Devils need to make deals with humans to become stronger?

Doesn't that make them too dependent on humans?

Curious, Badr expressed his doubts.

Hearing his question, Rias and the other two fell silent.

After a few seconds, Rias sighed.

"Everyone knows what you're saying. But we have no choice now. It's not just our Devils; the angels are in the same predicament. Otherwise, why do you think they work hard to spread the faith and gain followers?"

"Pure-blood Devils are very rare these days. Pure-blood angels and fallen angels are also rare. All three factions have reached the point where they must rely on humans to survive. This is the current reality of the three worlds."

Akeno Himejima added quietly, giving Badr a deeper understanding of the situation.

Badr only knew that very few angels and Devils were left in the three worlds, but he hadn't realized that the situation was so dire.

Noble Devils and angels had fallen to the point where they had to depend on fragile humans to survive. It was indeed ironic.

But wasn't it their fault?

Their endless wars had led to the death of their relatives...

Complaints aside, Badr knew it wasn't his place to judge.

Since there was no other way to gain strength, the only option now seemed to be to make treaties with humans.

Badr and the others headed for the classroom as class was about to begin. The day they were passed uneventfully.

But not long after school ended, just as Badr was about to continue handing out flyers, he suddenly felt a surge of magical energy around him!

"What's that...?"

Badr looked at the purple-black magic flowing around him in surprise.

Rias and the others, still in the clubroom, looked over in surprise.

"A contract summoning?" Rias blurted out.

Badr's eyes lit up. "Is this a summoning?"

"Exactly. That is what happens when someone summons you. Why are you hesitating? Respond quickly to the summoning. I'll prepare the teleportation circle for you."

Akeno Himejima smiled as she reminded him. Realizing this, Badr quickly responded to the summoning.

He hadn't expected that the flyers he had distributed would work.

"Thank you, Vice President."

"Good luck." Koneko Toujou encouraged him from the side.

"Thanks, I'll bring you good news." Badr smiled slightly.

With the magical help of Akeno Himejima, a magic circle glowed under Badr's feet. The next moment, he disappeared from the clubroom.

A few minutes earlier...

Sakurajima Mai returned to her luxury apartment and closed the door behind her.

Looking at the pineapple bread in her hand, she felt sad.

The phenomenon of not being seen by others was getting worse.

When she went to buy bread just now, the shopkeeper couldn't see her no matter what she did. Ultimately, she had to take the bread and leave the money behind.
