...Why did that sound like a family member asking about a girlfriend?
"I encountered some difficulties. I'm resolving them and should have it signed by tomorrow." Badr replied softly, a bit helplessly.
"Ara ara, don't be discouraged. Signing a contract isn't easy. Communication with your contract partner is essential." Akeno said with a warm smile, gently encouraging him.
"As long as you try hard, you'll succeed," Koneko added, her short silver hair framing her striking golden eyes, which stared unblinkingly at Badr.
Badr smiled lightly, "I understand."
He looked at Rias, "President, is there something specific you need us for?"
Rias's expression grew serious as she smiled:
"Yes, we received an urgent request from a Duke."
She sat on the sofa, crossing her beautiful legs, and flicked her fiery red hair back with an authoritative gaze:
"Tonight, we're going to subdue a 'Stray Devil.'"
"Stray Devil?"
Badr was puzzled. It was a term he hadn't heard before.
"It refers to a devil who has betrayed or killed their master, thus becoming a masterless devil. Such devils are called 'Stray Devils,'" Akeno smiled, seeing Badr's confusion.
"Devils betray their masters?" Badr tilted his head.
"Of course. Why wouldn't they?" Rias laughed.
Badr chuckled, "Maybe because you're too kind, Rias."
"You thinking that means I haven't spoiled you for nothing." Rias smiled, clearly pleased by his compliment.
Akeno and Koneko both smiled as well.
Rias straightened up, her expression turning severe:
"Anyway, Stray Devils are dangerous. They ignore rules, use their powers recklessly, and without a master to restrain them, they cause havoc. Such beings shouldn't be allowed to exist."
Badr learned that besides Stray Devils, there were also Stray Angels, Stray Fallen Angels, and Stray Priests.
Regardless of the faction, these Strays were considered threats and targeted for elimination.
Rias planned to take Badr along to gain some experience.
Badr sighed inwardly, thinking that since crossing over to this world, his days had been hectic...
...
According to Rias, eliminating Stray Devils within their territory was part of their duty.
Akeno stood in the centre of the clubroom, a red magic circle rotating beneath her feet, ready for the teleportation spell.
Badr was about to embark on a subjugation mission with three beautiful girls.
"Let's go."
Rias commanded, her hair flowing as she confidently stepped onto the teleportation circle.
Standing behind the three beauties, Badr watched as the magic circle spun faster, their clothes billowing in the wind;
He caught glimpses of the scenery beneath their skirts.
Whoosh!
Light filled his vision, and it felt like they passed through a thin, transparent membrane, arriving at their destination.
Surrounded by dense shrubs, they saw an abandoned building ahead, long overgrown with moss.
"There's a smell of blood."
Koneko, immediately detecting it, wrinkled her nose cutely and covered it with her sleeve.
Her sense of smell was exceptionally keen.
In the desolate area, an eerie silence prevailed.
They all sensed the strong presence of hostility and murderous intent in the air.
"This would be a good place to kill someone and dispose of the body..." Badr observed calmly, noting that the Stray Devil was likely hiding in the abandoned building.
"Ara ara, it seems we're not welcome." Akeno chuckled, squinting her eyes.
Rias placed a hand on her hip, standing proudly with a confident smile and looking reliable.
"Of course, we're not welcome. Let's go in."
She led the way, smiling, into the building.
The others followed her in.
"Since we have this chance, do you want to experience a devil's battle?"
Rias's question made Badr raise an eyebrow.
"I haven't even signed a single contract. Do you think I can handle a Stray Devil?"
"Hmm, your power is indeed lacking." Rias smiled, spreading her hands.
Such blunt honesty...
Badr rolled his eyes. Though he knew his strength was lacking, hearing Rias say it still conflicted him.
Compared to Rias and the others, he was far from their level.
It was pretty frustrating...
"Hehe, then you can watch us fight. Do you remember what I told you about the devil pieces?"
"Yes."
Badr wouldn't forget; he bore the effects of two Knight and eight Pawn pieces.
"Take this opportunity to see Koneko and Akeno's abilities."
Before Rias finished speaking, Badr suddenly felt a sharp increase in the ominous presence.
He realized the killing intent and hostility had intensified.
"The target is here," Koneko whispered.
With a sudden chill, Badr heard faint breathing.
"Ah... Ah~ there's a scent of something distasteful and delicious. Is it sweet or bitter?"
The voice was like it came from the depths of hell.
Chilling and eerie, the sinister tone echoed in Badr's mind, sending shivers down his spine.
Badr thought this might be the authentic voice of the devil.
Rias stepped forward, her skirt fluttering, exuding a powerful aura.
"Stray Devil, we're here to subdue you."
She boldly declared their purpose.
"Ke ke ke ke ke ke..."
A strange, unsettling laugh echoed, unmistakably non-human or even non-devilish.
From a dark corner of the building, a female figure slowly emerged.
With straight black hair and a somewhat pretty face, she looked human.
Badr's gaze moved down, noticing she was completely naked, her upper body exposed without any shame.
Uh... Devils sure are uninhibited.
Badr thought, watching as the woman floated up, revealing her lower body as well.

Chapter 16: The Stray Devil's End
[#] : Please, consider reviewing this Fanfic, Thanks and appreciate all who support me
[#] : Enjoy!!
=========================================
Thud... Thud... Thud...
Heavy footsteps echoed, revealing a form that was no longer human.
The woman's lower half had transformed into a monstrous, terrifying beast!
"...I thought all devils were as beautiful and cute as the President, Akeno, and Koneko," Badr couldn't help but comment.
It was an eyesore.
Seriously, her upper body was quite attractive.
But what's going on with this sudden change in the lower body?
This isn't good; I must wash my eyes thoroughly when I return.
The three beautiful girls remained silent. Badr's focus was rather odd. His first reaction to seeing the Stray Devil wasn't fear but an unusual concern for its appearance.
"Betraying or killing one's master and recklessly using power will corrupt both body and mind."
Koneko said expressionlessly, stepping forward to face the now monstrous devil.
The Stray Devil sneered, "Hypocrites, suppressing your true nature, are you even devils?"
"You dare lecture us? Betraying your master and acting wantonly to satisfy your desires is worthy of a thousand deaths."
Rias's red hair fluttered as she glared sharply at the towering monster. "In the name of Duke Gremory, I'll obliterate you!"
"Hahaha... Arrogant, aren't we? You're just an underdeveloped little girl. I'll kill you and dye your body red like your hair!"
"Minor villains always boast."
Rias was unbothered, her words infuriating the Stray Devil.
It raised a massive beastly leg, aiming to crush Rias.
As the attack came, Badr and the others didn't move.
The giant beast's foot descended but abruptly stopped just before impact, then retreated rapidly.
Koneko had moved forward, her fist raised, standing fearlessly. She had punched the monstrous attack away with terrifying strength.
Despite her petite and adorable appearance, Koneko, as a Rook, possessed immense defensive power and incredible strength.
That tiny, irresistibly cute body held astonishing power!
...
With a single strike, Koneko sent the massive beast tumbling backwards, smashing into a wall before stopping.
This was characteristic of a Rook-overwhelming strength and potent defence, effortlessly blasting away a creature several times her size.
"Akeno, it's your turn."
"Understood, President. Oh my, what should I do?"
Akeno advanced with a smile that felt like a gentle breeze, but a powerful aura of magic surged around her.
Rias explained to Badr, "Akeno, as a Queen, has the traits of all the devil pieces."
Badr inquired about his piece.
He knew his pieces combined Knight and Pawn, but he had only experienced the Knight's speed, never the Pawn's trait.
Rias smiled, "A Pawn has the promotion trait. Upon reaching the enemy's territory, you can transform into any piece except the King."
Badr's eyes lit up with understanding.
It seemed every piece had its powerful trait, even his seemingly weak Pawn.
As he pondered this, thunder rumbled ahead.
Looking over, he saw Akeno raising her right hand, a surge of magic forming a lightning bolt that struck the Stray Devil.
"Ugh!! Ahhhh!!!"
The monster convulsed violently, screaming in agony.
Despite this, it refused to die, desperately summoning its magic for an attack.
Perhaps due to consuming its master and many humans, its magic was powerful, causing Badr and the others to narrow their eyes.
"Ughhh..."
The Stray Devil howled in pain. Badr noticed its chest rapidly swelling.
What?
Badr had a bad feeling.
The next moment, he saw the Stray Devil's chest extend bizarrely...
What??
Boom! Boom!
Before Badr could process it, two terrifying beams shot from the devil's chest.
The beams swept across, destroying walls and emitting a corrosive sound, indicating they were highly toxic.
Badr saw clearly;
Those beams...
Seriously, from her chest?
What the...
Is this the legendary... Tit Beam?
Such a bizarre attack caught Badr off guard, but he reacted quickly.
Seeing the Stray Devil aiming its beams at him and Rias, Badr stepped forward without hesitation, shielding Rias.
Buzz!
A silver shield appeared in front of Badr.
He supported it with his left hand as if grasping it from thin air.
The shield floated, creating a transparent force field that blocked the incoming beams.
Rumble!
A tremor came from above as the decaying ceiling finally collapsed.
Unperturbed, Badr summoned the King's Sword, slashing swiftly to form a net of sword light above.
The falling tons of steel and concrete were easily cut into fragments and deflected by the force field.
Badr stood casually, his sword resting on the ground, seemingly indifferent to his actions.
Rias clapped lightly, smiling, "Not bad, quick reaction."
"Thanks to your training, President."
Badr responded calmly, making Rias's smile widen.
She had noticed Badr's excellent combat skills. His calmness and decisiveness were crucial traits in life-and-death battles.
"This guy... why attack that way..."
Badr couldn't help but remark.
"The more unexpected the method, the more effective."
Rias laughed softly. The Stray Devil's tactics surprised even her, making her reaction slower than Badr's.
Although such attacks couldn't harm her.
"Indeed, that Tit Beam was quite unexpected," Badr muttered.
Rias was taken aback:
"...Tit Beam?"
"Yeah, I just named it. Doesn't it fit the scene perfectly?"
Rias: "..."
Perhaps it was too fitting. Rias's mind was filled with the chaotic image of flesh and beams.
Too fitting; it's hard to unsee...
For a moment, the pureblood devil Rias was at a loss for words due to Badr.
Meanwhile, seeing the Stray Devil still attacking Badr and Rias, Akeno seemed annoyed.
"Oh my, still so lively? I guess a few more shocks are in order!"
Zap!!
Lightning struck the monster again.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The monster's Tit Beam was interrupted, its body convulsing as if it would die from the electricity.
But Akeno continued with a third lightning bolt.
Despite her gentle smile, her aura felt chillingly cold, making her warm smile terrifying.
Badr was speechless.
She... she's enjoying this, right?
Not just a gentle big sister but also a sadist?
"That's how Akeno is. Even if the enemy surrenders, she'll keep attacking until she calms down. She's a true sadist."
Rias's words confirmed Badr's suspicion.
After three minutes of continuous shocking, Akeno handed the half-dead Stray Devil to Rias.
Rias usually executed the final blow.
Rias stepped forward.
"Any last words?"
She looked down at the miserable devil like a queen.
"...Kill... me..."
The voice was broken, filled with despair and pleading, clearly tortured beyond endurance by Akeno.
"Very well, die then."
Rias's cold voice fell, and a massive magic wave shot from her hand.
Boom!!
Scorching red flames engulfed the Stray Devil, turning it to ashes.
Rias's fiery red hair fell back into place as the shockwave subsided. She turned with a beautiful smile:
"Alright, mission accomplished!"
—
Back at the clubroom, Rias asked Badr with a smile.
"Any thoughts or realizations?"

Chapter 17: Realization & New Beginning
[#] : Please, consider reviewing this Fanfic, Thanks and appreciate all who support me
[#] : Enjoy!!
=========================================
"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.
