...

Perhaps because of this conversation, relationship with Badr had become a bit more familiar.

Badr suddenly changed the topic: "But as I said, you still need to study hard."

"..."

This time, Miku nodded seriously:

"With your help, Badr, I actually have some confidence. Magic is really amazing. If not for that, we wouldn't know what to do."

"Don't rely too much on my magic."

Badr reminded her: "This magic is just auxiliary. The most important thing is for you to study seriously. And Ichika, you underestimate yourself too much."

"Eh? Underestimate what?"

"Even without magic, Miku, you could still graduate smoothly. It's not just you; Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba, and Miku, they all can do it too."

Miku's face showed some surprise: "Really?"

"Of course. Don't underestimate yourself; human potential is limitless."

Otherwise, why would angels and Devils rely on humans to develop smoothly? Just that fact is enough to show the problem.

Miku sighed helplessly: "Really, you trust us quintuplets too much."

She adjusted her skirt and sighed: "If only we could be as smart and capable as you, Badr. Honestly, you're the type who excels in everything, aren't you?"

"You really flatter me." Badr smiled faintly. "But don't envy me, after all, I'm not human."

Miku: "..."

Being a Devil has its perks, allowing him to proudly say he is not human.

He wasn't human to begin with; he could be a high-ranking Devil, or even a special-class Devil...

Of course, Ichika hadn't realized that before becoming a Devil through the Devil chess piece, Badr was a former human...

At this time, Badr finished organizing his things and said goodbye to Ichika.

"I'll go home today. I'll come again tomorrow afternoon. From now on, I'll tutor you for an hour and a half every day, so it won't take up too much of your time."

"See you tomorrow, Badr."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Badr gathered his things, and a dark red magic circle appeared under his feet, instantly teleporting him away.

Back home, the place was empty, and it seemed Rias and Asia hadn't returned yet. Badr, bored, decided to start his training.

Today, as usual, he received his payment through the contract. His magic power had only slightly increased, with the bulk coming from Mai Sakurajima.

It's worth mentioning that although Badr hadn't fully met the conditions of the commission, the emotional energy provided by the five sisters was quite substantial.

However, unlike Mai's love, the emotions used as payment by the five sisters mostly came from sorrow and pain.

This surprised Badr, making him wonder if studying was really that painful for those few underachievers.

Hmm... but that's good too, maybe we should cancel tomorrow's break...

Thinking of the quintuplets' faces, struggling through his lectures, Badr couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
