After getting what he wanted, Xin wasn’t in a rush to leave; instead, he asked Rias about the current situation in the Underworld.
For example
The movements of the Old Satan Faction and so on.
Although Xin had no sense of belonging to the Valefor family, nor any intention of avenging the family.
But the existence of this surname would always bring him some trouble.
Just like the engagement with the Xidi family, and…
The revenge of the Old Satan Faction!
He had to plan ahead!
While recruiting peerage members and enhancing his strength, he also had to constantly pay attention to their news, lest he end up like his cheap family, wiped out without receiving a single whisper of wind.
When all is said and done, it’s because his strength is still insufficient.
The speed of recruiting peerage members needs to be faster.
At least, he must first stack his strength up to the level of a Demon King.
“Ever since the Valefor extermination incident, the Underworld has stepped up its suppression of the Old Satan Faction, and they haven’t shown their faces for some time now.”
Rias shared the Underworld’s intelligence, but her gaze turned to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was writing furiously.
That book…
It doesn’t look like a Sacred Gear.
It should be some kind of ability of hers.
However…
Rias couldn’t help reminding, “You can take this book back with you; it’s not particularly precious knowledge.”
Xin sipped the black tea brewed by Akeno, and then said, “It’s fine, I’m going to copy it anyway when we get back.”
After copying for just a short while, Xin felt that his mind had gained a lot of small techniques regarding the application of magic.
And he also discovered that his Secretary Demon had clear differences from Kasumigaoka Utaha’s Secretary Demon.
For example, if Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to use the ability she ‘recorded’, under normal circumstances, she could only do so through the Demon Book.
But as for him, it seemed he could use it directly.
It felt a bit like the Demonization state of the Secretary Demon had become his permanent state.
It seems that after the ability awakened by his peerage member is placed on him, there will be some extra perks?
Xin, who was experiencing the skills, completely failed to notice Kasumigaoka Utaha’s side-eye.
It’s easy to talk while sitting.
This is almost two thousand pages, right…
Thinking of the bleak book-copying life ahead, the light in Kasumigaoka Utaha’s eyes instantly dissipated.
Why did it have to be the Secretary Demon!
Ah…
such heavy resentment…
Rias looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with worry.
Really, is there no problem?
Xin also noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha’s resentful appearance, couldn’t help laughing, and then asked:
“Miss Rias, I wonder if there is a magic technique for automatic writing in this book?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly raised her head and looked at Rias with hopeful eyes.
“There is.”
Rias nodded, thought about it, and said, “Probably around page 130?”
Rustle—
The sound of pages turning immediately rang out.
He really was too kind-hearted; he couldn’t bear to watch his peerage member suffer!
“Found it!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha cried out in pleasant surprise.
Seeing this, Rias also smiled happily and said:
“This magic is quite simple.
If you learn it now, maybe I can give you some suggestions.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled at her and said, “Thank you very much, but I probably won’t need to trouble Miss Rias.”
Expressing her thanks, Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head again and began writing in the Demon Book.
Rias was slightly stunned and looked at Xin with some confusion.
Didn’t she ask about this magic to make copying easier?
Why is she copying it herself again?
Soon, she understood the reason.
“Done!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha put down her pen, stretched her body, and then released her magic, with some anticipation in her eyes.
Hum—
The Demon Book suddenly shone with a brilliant light!
A small white magic circle suddenly rose from the page recording ‘automatic writing’.
A white feather pen slowly materialized.
Success!
Kasumigaoka Utaha cheered inwardly.
This is genuine magic!
Although it was just an insignificant small magic, it was enough to make her excited.
“This is…”
Rias’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It really is the magic of ‘automatic writing’.
She learned it during the process of copying just now?
Or could it be…
The real reason lies in ‘copying’?
And that strange book.
Rias thought a lot, her eyes flashing slightly, and praised:
“I didn’t expect Classmate Kasumigaoka to master the ‘automatic writing’ magic so quickly.
Mr.
Xin’s peerage is truly extraordinary.”
Immediately afterward, Rias changed the subject and said, “I remember Mr.
Xin’s residence is quite a long distance from Kuoh Town, right?”
“There’s a teleportation magic on page 777 of that book.
Why don’t you learn it right now and set a marker here at my place?
It’ll also be convenient for future visits.”
She wanted to see whether Kasumigaoka Utaha had strong learning ability or some kind of special power.
Although the teleportation magic on page 777 was a common skill in the Underworld, its difficulty was definitely no less than the family secret techniques of some Devil nobles.
Even she had spent a very long time studying it seriously back then.
She didn’t believe Kasumigaoka Utaha could master this ability in a short time.
Xin saw right through what she was plotting at a glance, but instead of stopping her, he added fuel to the fire: “Utaha.”
Although they had only spent a little over a day together, Kasumigaoka Utaha understood Xin’s meaning.
She flipped the black book to page 777.
‘Magic Cube Teleportation’.
The white feather pen didn’t hesitate at all as it began copying onto the Demon Book.
It didn’t make Rias wait too long.
The moment the white feather pen stopped, Kasumigaoka Utaha, having received Xin’s instruction, directly released her magic power.
Hum——
A purple magic circle, dozens of times larger than before, rose above the Demon Book!
The densely packed runes within it made people’s eyes spin.
At least Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t understand what those runes represented.
But it didn’t matter; she didn’t need to understand!
This was the Secretary Demon!
Rias stared at the magic circle of ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’, slightly dazed.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She actually…
really learned it?
In such a short time??
Even Himejima Akeno’s and Toujou Koneko’s gazes were attracted over.
As Rias’s peerage, they had also mastered ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’, and thus were even more aware of the difficulty of this magic.
A peerage member who looked like she had just reincarnated from an ordinary human into a devil, having just contacted the supernatural world, mastered a fairly difficult magic in an extremely short time.
If it was purely through the form of learning, it could only be described as having heaven-defying comprehension.
But obviously, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t ‘learn’ it.
Rias cast her gaze onto that book, the corners of her mouth curling up unconsciously, “What a truly interesting ability.”
“Copying, or rather, recording, logging?”
“As long as the knowledge is recorded in that book, it can be mastered.”
Xin clapped and said, “As expected of the eldest young lady of the Gremory family, figuring out Utaha’s ability so quickly.”
“Let me officially introduce her, the Secretary Demon, Kasumigaoka Utaha.”
“Secretary Demon…” Rias murmured, then said, “A very vivid title.”
Rias took a deep breath, then tentatively asked, “I wonder if it’s convenient for Mr.
Xin to reveal the limit of this ability?”
Record everything, control everything.
If it truly reached this degree, Rias would unhesitatingly categorize it into the realm of the Longinus.
Xin propped his chin with both hands, the corners of his mouth hooking up slightly, “The limit, huh?
I’m not too clear about it either.
Why doesn’t Miss Rias try probing it herself?”
Just a common magic application technique, how could it possibly satisfy him.
It’s time to drop skills, the eldest young lady of Gremory.
