"Well, then what?"
Kong Yang knows Sazex very well; he's an ultimate sister-obsessed guy.
If Rias seeks him out, he definitely won't let his sister suffer; he'll surely cause trouble for himself.
“My brother said he would help me.”
Kong Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to know what she meant by those words.
Does this mean Kong Yang will help her resolve the engagement, or that he will help her improve her strength?
But based on Kong Yang's understanding of Sirzechs, he would never say such a thing. He would talk to Kong Yang alone behind his back and would not tell Rias about such a thing.
He is a good older brother who will help Rias without bothering his younger sister.
"Is this your idea? Or Sazex's idea?"
"it's me."
“I thought you would say that Sazex sent you to find me.”
“My brother wouldn’t do such a thing.”
No, he will.
Kong Yang slowly said that whether it was her memories of communicating with Sazex or her understanding of him from anime and comics, Sazex loved her, his younger sister, dearly.
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. I did say I would help you. This is a favor I owe your brother. Now that you're here, what do you want?"
"I want to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can I have a voice in the underworld."
"Becoming stronger is a very general concept. How strong do you want to become, or to what extent?"
"Powerful enough for me to control my own marriage."
No one present was surprised by her words, whether it was Sona and her familiars or Rias's own familiars.
Everyone knows that Rias is engaged to the third young master of the Phoenix family, and that engagement is drawing ever closer.
"Powerful enough to control your own marriage? Fine, do you want me to teach you?"
"Yes, not just me, but my family as well."
As she spoke, she looked at the three people behind her: Queen Himejima Akeno, Chariot Toujou Koneko, and Knight Kiba Yuuto.
"Wow, you're quite bold. Fine, there are four of you. When would you like to start?"
"The sooner the better, ideally now."
"It seems you're really in a hurry."
"Because I don't have much time left."
"Okay, Cangna, please ask for leave for my afternoon classes."
"no problem."
Cang Na nodded. As the student council president, it was no difficult for her to ask a student for leave.
Moreover, the leave slip is meant to be delivered to her, so she can simply ignore it and the absence won't be recorded.
Looking at Kong Yang, who was so familiar with Cang Na, Rias felt a surge of dissatisfaction once again.
However, Kong Yang was familiar with her brother, not with her, so she didn't dare to show any anger, since she still needed his help.
Then, together with Rias and her group, they arrived at the Occult Research Department once again.
Arriving here, Kong Yang found it somewhat amusing; the same place, the same people, yet the situation was completely different today.
“Rias, I have a good understanding of your strength from yesterday’s battle. It is undeniable that your power of destruction is very strong, but your use of it is still too superficial.”
"shallow?"
"That's right, you're only using this power right now; you haven't truly mastered it yet."
"What do you mean?"
"What is the power of destruction in your eyes?"
"Uh, it's the magic passed down through generations of my mother's Baal family, possessing the power to destroy everything."
"And what about your use of destructive power?"
"Application~"
Rias recalled that her use of the power of destruction seemed to be either direct use or incorporating it into magic projectiles for area-of-effect attacks.
But now, after comparing their strengths, yesterday, their destructive power was restricted, and they were almost crippled.
"So, what do I need to do?"
"The power of destruction is your talent, that's undeniable. However, you need to master and wield this power more skillfully and perfectly."
Kong Yang opened his hands, and dark magic quickly condensed, then spun rapidly in his palm.
Finally, a spiral wheel appeared in Kong Yang's palm.
Although it is only the size of an apple, the magic emanating from it is terrifying. It is no exaggeration to say that if this ball of magic were detonated, it could blow the entire Kuoh Academy to the heavens.
"This is?"
"The Spiral Wheel is also a skill I'm going to teach you. The principle is very simple. First, master the control of magic power, then make it spin at high speed, then fix it into a ball, and finally inject your own magic power into it."
"So powerful."
Rias was very surprised, and the other three were also incredibly shocked as they looked at the spiral wheel.
"I'll give it a try!"
Rias, in high spirits, also stretched out one of her hands, and then magic began to gather into a ball.
Remembering what Kong Yang had said about making the magic swirl, he then began to control the magic sphere to make it rotate.
'Boom~'
The next second, the entire magic ball exploded.
"Ahem, you unlucky kid, what's the rush? I haven't even told you how to cultivate yet."
"Um...sorry..."
Looking disheveled, Rias immediately lowered her head, blaming herself for being too hasty.
Kong Yang waved his hand, and a gentle breeze dispersed the smoke from the explosion in the room. He then looked at Rias.
"Then give me your hand."
"Oh~"
Rias extended one hand, and Kong Yang placed his hand under hers.
In an instant, Rias blushed. Kong Yang's behavior, coupled with his joke yesterday, made her start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
"What are you doing? Watch closely and feel the magic at work."
Then, under Kong Yang's control, a crude version of the Spiral Wheel appeared in Rias's hand.
Chapter Thirty: Zhu Nai's Transformation! (Bonus Chapter)
The reason for doing this is that the skill "Great Spiral Wheel" is obtained through card draws. Although Kong Yang mastered it after receiving it, he really doesn't know how to teach it to others.
So all Kong Yang could do was let her experience the process of using the spiral wheel.
Rias, as the heroine of this world, should be able to learn it; after all, as the heroine, her aptitude is certainly not lacking.
The appearance of the Spiral Wheel filled Rias with immense excitement, for it was something that had appeared in her own hands.
"Don't get distracted, feel the magic at work."
"Yes."
After a while, Kong Yang dispelled the spiral wheel's energy, and Rias was lost in thought.
"How about it?"
"It seems like I understand a little bit, but it also seems like I don't understand at all."
"Did you understand when you fell to the ground?"
"No."
"What don't you understand?"
"How can you keep this magic spinning at such a high speed in your hand? The moment you pulled back, the magic showed signs of becoming chaotic."
"Therefore, user control is required."
Rias seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, but it was as if she didn't understand anything.
Kong Yang was also quite helpless. He really didn't know how to teach people. Just over four months ago, he was just an ordinary person.
If it's about fighting in dungeons, Kong Yang knows a little about combat experience and swordsmanship, but these kinds of skills are all obtained through cheating, so how can he teach them?
"You'll have to figure it out and practice on your own. Even if I tell you, you still won't understand."
"I see."
Seeing Rias really deep in thought, Kong Yang suddenly felt as if he were misleading a student.
Then, Kong Yang's gaze fell on the other three.
In an instant, all three of them were on high alert.
"As for the three of you, you're much simpler than Rias, especially Akeno and Koneko."
"Alright, then please teach us, Your Highness Kong Yang."
Zhu Nai smiled slightly, her expression subtly alluring.
"The first step is to accept the blood flowing in your veins."
In an instant, Zhu Nai's smile froze, and the kitten stood there dumbfounded.
Rias also stopped her practice and turned to look at Akeno and Koneko.
This has been a knot in their hearts for so many years, and even her years of trying to comfort them have been futile. Now, Kong Yang has directly brought it up, and she is really afraid that something bad will happen.
"Oh my, it seems that His Highness Kong Yang knows a lot of things."
"I am, after all, a duke of the underworld. Although I don't go out much, it doesn't mean I don't know anything."
Is it because of that man?
That man, that man named Baiqiu.
Initially, Himejima Akari, a priestess from the Himejima family, one of the five major families of exorcists, encountered the injured fallen angel Baichu. Under Himejima Akari's care, Baichu gradually recovered from his injuries, and the two also developed feelings for each other.
Finally, the two came together and had a child, Zhu Nai.
However, Himejima Akari, as a priestess of the Himejima family, had a daughter with a fallen angel, which is a grave sin.
While Baichu was away on a mission for Azazel, the Himejima family suddenly launched an attack. In order to protect her daughter, Himejima Akari was killed by her own clan, while Akeno could only flee.
Although Baiqiu, who rushed back, killed all the murderers in the end, Himejima Akari was already dead.
Zhu Nai therefore hates her own black wings and fallen angel bloodline, and hates her father, who is a black angel, for causing her mother's death, and refuses his protection.
After leaving his father, he wandered alone, making a living by helping people ward off evil spirits and exorcise malevolent spirits.
During her wanderings, she was constantly pursued by members of the Himejima family. When she was almost killed, she was saved by Rias and eventually became Rias's familiar.
From then on, because of the Gremory family behind Rias, the Himejima family no longer dared to provoke Akeno.
"The bloodline within you, regardless of who it comes from, is all your own power. You despise your own power and are unwilling to accept that it is originally your power. How can you become stronger?"
"I~"
Hesitation, entanglement, and indecision—how could such a long-held obsession be resolved in just a few words?
Kong Yang's words were not only meant for Zhu Nai, but also for the kitten.
Unlike Akeno, Koneko has always been afraid of her bloodline and power because of her older sister, Toujou Kuroka, fearing that one day she will go berserk like her sister and hurt others.
Therefore, he has always been unwilling to reveal his true identity, nor has he been willing to use his power.
