Chapter 17: Realization & New Beginning

"No matter if it's Akeno-senpai or Koneko, their magical powers and combat skills are far superior to mine."

After a battle, Badr fully understood the vast gap between him and Koneko.

The power they wielded was far greater than his own.

They had acquired their strength through contracts, gradually paying the price for their power. Badr realized that to reach their level, he, too, would need to sign contracts and pay the price continuously.

"Hehe, this is the direction you need to work towards in the future, Badr. The one who summoned you earlier, you must strive to win them over. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to seek our help."

Rias had high expectations for Badr.

Badr had broken the rule that a devil could not embody two different chess pieces simultaneously, something unprecedented in the history of devils.

Badr's uniqueness made him someone Rias; perhaps the entire devil clan had to take him seriously.

Of course, before that, Rias needed to keep this a secret until Badr and her power grew strong enough to discuss it.

Otherwise, for the prosperity of the devil clan, those guys might resort to drastic measures...

After all, such extreme actions had occurred before...

As if recalling something unpleasant, Rias's eyes showed a complex emotion. She couldn't help but mutter:

"Badr, you need to become stronger quickly... Only then can you help me."

Feeling the change in her mood, Badr looked steadily at Rias, sensing she had something on her mind.

He didn't ask further; if Rias didn't want to talk about it, asking now would yield no answers.

When Rias felt he could help her, she would surely tell him.

For now, he just nodded gently:

"Alright."

Although his response was simple, Badr's composed and calm demeanour was evident.

Sensing Badr's extraordinary nature, Rias reached out and gently caressed his cheek; her complex expression softened, and a happy smile appeared on her face:

"Mm, I believe you will quickly become powerful. You can do it if it's you, Badr because you are my most adorable servant."

As she spoke, she moved closer, cupping Badr's face with both hands and gently kissing his forehead.

The warmth of her lips lingered on his forehead, causing a slight stir in Badr's heart.

His feelings for Rias were quite complex.

Rias had saved his life, become his master, and always been very close to Badr. But Badr knew that this was due to devils' different perspectives compared to humans.

Although he had transformed into a devil, his thinking was still mostly human. He understood Rias's affection for him was like a master cherishing her treasured possession.

Even though they had shared a bed and she had kissed him gently, it didn't mean she loved him.

Badr, still with human thoughts, found this hard to accept.

But to say he didn't care about Rias?

That seemed impossible...

Who could control their possessiveness?

Even if Badr could easily restrain his feelings, he still needed to repay Rias's kindness. After all, she saved his life, and he couldn't ignore that.

Sigh... Let everything take its course.
