[161] Arriving at Kuoh Academy!

"Lord August, heading to Kuoh Town, is there something specific you're dealing with?"

"No need to call me 'Lord,' just use my name."

"Um, that might not be appropriate, Lord August."

"It's fine, I don't have so many formalities, you can address me casually."

"Alright, August, what brings you to Kuoh Town this time?"

"Nothing much. Sirzechs brought me a set of evil pieces earlier, so I thought I'd try my luck and find some followers."

August spoke casually, but it sounded different in Sona's ears.

Evil pieces could only be used by devils, and although August resided in the Underworld, he wasn't a devil. How could he use evil pieces?

"Have you transformed into a devil?"

"No, why would I transform into a devil? These are special evil pieces made for me by Ajuka, now called the demon evil pieces."

"This..."

This left Sona unsure of what to say. Specially crafted evil pieces by Ajuka Beelzebub, the Satan, just the name alone made them impressive.

While the two were chatting, the dimensional train had already started and arrived above the sky of the Underworld, speeding towards its destination.

"So, when you go to Kuoh Town, where will you be heading?"

"Kuoh Academy, arranged by Sirzechs, second year of high school."

"I see. If you need anything, you can come to the Student Council. In Kuoh Academy, many things can be handled by the Student Council."

Kuoh Academy was supported by the Sitri and Gremory family, and it was only natural for Sona to be the Student Council President.

Not only her, but everyone in the Student Council was her peerage.

Rumble~

Suddenly, the dimensional train shook. Through the window, August saw a void dimensional rift.

"Is this your first time on a dimensional train, August?"

"Yes, not just a dimensional train, this is my first time leaving the Underworld."

"Is that so?"

Watching the dimensional rift outside, flames flickered in August's eyes.

Both were from prestigious families, one being the Student Council President, and the other, the Occult Research Club President. Both were beautiful women and naturally became the focal points of the academy.

Now, Sona was seen walking into the academy with a man, naturally causing a sensation.

"It seems I've caused you quite a bit of trouble."

"It's a small matter, just rumors and gossip. It'll end in a few days."

"Alright then."

Seeing that Sona wasn't concerned, August didn't continue.

"By the way, August, did you bring your enrollment procedures?"

"I brought them."

Hilda took out the enrollment notice and other information that Sirzechs had sent.

Sona took a look, and all the procedures were already completed. August didn't have to do anything, he just needed to enroll directly.

"It seems Satan Lucifer, cares a lot about you. He has taken care of everything for you."

"That guy is purely opportunistic."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"There's someone else here, have you forgotten?"

"Are you talking about Rias?"

August nodded, but didn't say much. After all, some things shouldn't be mentioned casually.

While Phenex's strength in the Underworld was only mid-tier, the Phenex Tears produced by the family were a highly valuable healing elixir. Phenex Tears were considered a precious medicine sought after by everyone worldwide.

Thanks to Phenex Tears, the Phenex family had a high status in the Underworld. No family was willing to make an enemy of the Phenex family.

With Phenex Tears, the Phenex family always held an ace up their sleeve.

That was why seeking support from the Phenex family was necessary. With Phenex's support, many families in the Underworld would give respect.

That was why Sirzechs couldn't interfere with Rias's marriage. It was a debt owed, and also a matter of respect for the two major families.

In the original work, Rias failed in the rating game. Even if Sirzechs was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch his sister marry Riser Phenex.

It was the protection of the protagonist's plot armor, otherwise, Issei Hyoudou would have died countless times.
