Multiverse Gacha

[184]

Facing Rias at this moment, August sat on the sofa, feeling puzzled.

His interaction with Rias was only yesterday, and he had already apologized and made amends. Why was she coming to see him again?

"Lord August, greetings."

"Hmn."

Seeing Rias being so respectful to him, August had a bad feeling.

He felt like she was planning something. Rias was not the type to come without a purpose, she always had a motive.

Sona, who was sitting not far away, instinctively walked over. She didn't know why, but seeing Rias come to find August, she subconsciously felt guarded.

It was as if her toy had suddenly caught the attention of another child.

"Last night, I contacted my brother."

"Yeah, and then?"

August knew Sirzechs well, he was an ultimate siscon. If Rias came to him, Sirzechs wouldn't let his sister suffer, he would definitely cause trouble for August.

"My brother said you would help me."

August narrowed his eyes slightly. He really wanted to know what she meant by that statement.

Was she asking for help to annul her engagement, or was she asking for help to increase her strength?

However, based on what August knew about Sirzechs, he wouldn't say such things. He would handle it privately with August, not telling Rias about it. He was a responsible brother who would help Rias without causing her any worries.

"Is this your decision, or is it Sirzechs's decision?"

"It's mine."

"I thought you would say Sirzechs sent you to find me."

"My brother wouldn't do such a thing."

"No, he would."

August said slowly. Whether it was the communication with Sirzechs in his memories or the knowledge from anime and manga, Sirzechs loved his sister dearly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. I did promise to help you. What do you want now that you're here?"

"I want to become stronger. Only by becoming powerful will I have a say in the underworld."

"Become stronger. That's a broad concept. How strong do you want to become, or to what extent?"

"Strong enough to control my own engagement."

This statement didn't surprise anyone present, neither Sona and her peerages nor Rias's own peerages. Rias still had an engagement with Phenex family, and it was getting closer. Everyone knew about it.

"Strong enough to control your own engagement? Alright, do you want me to teach you?"

"Yes, not just me but also my peerage."

She looked at the three people behind her, Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba.

"Well, you're not shy about it. Fine, the four of you. When do you want to start?"

"Sooner the better, preferably now."

"Looks like you're really eager."

"Because I don't have much time left."

"Alright, Sona, I'll leave my afternoon class to you. Please help me apply for leave."

"No problem."

Sona nodded. As the student council president, granting leave to a student was effortless. Moreover, the leave application would be sent directly to her, and she could even choose to ignore it, absenteeism wouldn't be recorded.

Watching August, who was so familiar with Sona, Rias felt a little dissatisfied once again.

But August was familiar with her brother, not her, so she didn't dare to act out. After all, she still needed help from August.

After that, Rias and her group once again arrived at Occult Research Club.

Arriving here, August felt a bit amused. The same place, the same people, but today was a completely different situation.

"Rias, I got to know your strength during yesterday's battle. Undoubtedly, the power of destruction is formidable, but your use of it is too superficial."

"Superficial?"

"Yes, right now, you're merely using this power. You're not able to truly master it."

"What do you mean?"

"In your eyes, what is the power of destruction?"

"Uh, it's the magical power passed down through generations in the Bael family. It has the power to destroy everything."

"And how do you use the power of destruction?"

"Use..." Rias recalled, thinking about how she used the power. Aside from direct use, she remembered using it in combination with magic to cause area damage.

But now, she almost lost half of her power because her power of destruction was restricted yesterday.

"So, what do I need to do?"

"The power of destruction is your innate talent, that's undeniable. However, you need to skillfully and perfectly control and wield this power."

August opened his hand, and dark magical power quickly gathered. It then rapidly rotated in his palm.

Finally, a spiral wheel of magic appeared in August's hand.

Although it was the size of an apple, the magical power emanating from it was terrifying. Without exaggeration, if this magical power were to explode, it could definitely blow up the entire Kuoh Academy.

"What is this?"

"Great Spiralling Ring. It's also a skill I want to teach you. The principle is simple. First, skillfully control the magical power, then make it rotate rapidly, solidify it into a ball, and finally infuse it with your own magic power."

"So powerful."

Rias was amazed, and the other three were equally shocked, looking at this Great Spiralling Ring with great admiration.

"Let me try."

Excited, Rias also extended her hand, and magical power began to gather into a ball.

Remembering August's instruction to make the magical power rotate rapidly, she started controlling the magical power inside the ball to spin.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire magical power ball exploded.

"Cough, you unlucky girl, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even told you how to train yet."

"That... sorry."

Rias, with a dirty face, lowered her head. It was all her fault for being too impatient.

With a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze blew away the smoke from the explosion in the room. Then, August looked at Rias.

"Now, give me your hand."

"Uh~"

Rias reached out a hand, and August placed his hand on hers.

In an instant, Rias's face turned red. August's action, combined with his joke from yesterday, made her start to have some wild thoughts.

"What are you doing? Watch closely and feel the rotation of magical power."

Following August's control, a rudimentary version of the Great Spiralling Ring appeared in Rias's hand.
