Akeno Himejima's Display / My Name Is Arthur, Arthur Pendragon

"I've made up my mind, Arthur!" Vali crossed his right leg over his left, his ankle resting on his knee, his hands behind his head, and looked at the triangular formation in front of him. He whispered, "I want to join them."

"Given your personality, making such a decision is not surprising." Arthur, with his legs crossed elegantly, took a sip of the black tea that Akeno Himejima had specially prepared for him before the meeting began, and spoke calmly.

"Ah... but I have something else to tell you." Vali's eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips suddenly moved slightly. Mana mixed with his words seeped into Arthur's ears like a gentle breeze. Vali's voice echoed in his mind, "Those people are planning to cause a huge disturbance here."

"Who's leading the team?" Arthur paused slightly in his teacup -Teacup motion, his lips moving slightly as he spoke in a voice only Vali could hear.

"It's not Cao Cao, just a bunch of small fry." Vali understood Arthur's meaning, and although he didn't know why Arthur wanted to meet the leader of the Hero Faction, he still frankly said, "They seem to have their eyes on Rias Gremory's sealed Familia's Sacred Gear. You should be careful."

Vali's warning was not because he was Arthur's spy.

Rather, Rias is Arthur's fiancée, and since she's someone important to Arthur, he doesn't mind helping her with this small favor.

"It's nothing, just small fry!" Arthur said calmly, resting his left cheek on his hand.

As long as they are not top-tier or Demon King level powerhouses, Arthur will not worry about Koneko Toujou and Akeno Himejima.

If someone of that caliber appeared, Arthur would sense it instantly.

His powerful Observation Haki spread out involuntarily.

Arthur could see the figure huddled in a cardboard box, sealed away in a dimly lit room in the academy.

And the old school building, where the three girls— Koneko Toujou, Akeno Himejima, and 023 Aisa— drink tea, eat snacks, and chat in the Occult Research Club.

Also present were Sona Sitri, who was patrolling the campus, and several of her relatives.

These figures, and indeed the entire academy, were all seen by Arthur from a godlike perspective.

Meanwhile, the talks between the three parties finally began.

"First, I must apologize for Kokabiel's presumptuous actions." Azazel rested his chin on his hand, uttering words of apology, yet a frivolous smile remained on his face. His gaze swept over the refined Sirzechs and Michael, and he said with a laugh, "I have absolutely no interest in war, and his decision does not represent the Fallen Angels."

"Isn't the current state of three kingdoms quite good? That guy's thinking is just too bizarre." Azazel sighed helplessly, "But thankfully he hasn't caused any trouble yet, otherwise it would really be a headache."

"We have to thank the strongest 'Red Dragon Emperor' in history for this!"

These are the three leaders who have already formed an alliance; this meeting is merely a formality.

In just a few words, without even a superficial confrontation, Azazel dragged Arthur into the conversation and got straight to the point.

Chapter 443 Akeno Himejima's Performance

As Azazel finished speaking, both Azazel and Michael turned their gazes to Arthur.

Even Rias, who was standing to the side, slowly walked over to Arthur's side.

"Speaking of which, Kokabiel caused trouble in that little princess Gremory's territory, and not only was he punished by the 'Red Dragon Emperor,' but even my 'White Dragon Emperor' was defeated." Azazel, disregarding Vali's feelings, stated the already obvious facts, and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about those formalities."

"We who were there all know very well!"

"The 'god' and 'Demon King' who initiated this war have both fallen. All three factions—you, me, and him—suffered devastating losses in that war! Small-scale conflicts are still ongoing. If this continues, we will only face annihilation." Azazel said with a slight smile, "Therefore, to prevent us from heading down the path of destruction, let's take this opportunity to sign the Peace Treaty right here!"

"And this time, we've invited the one with the power to influence the world—the 'Red Dragon Emperor'!" Azazel lowered his chin from his hand, extended his palm towards Arthur, and said, "As witnesses to our creation of this Peace Treaty, do you all have any objections?"

"Gurgle..."

Neither Sirzechs nor Michael spoke after hearing Azazel's words.

But Rias, who had the weakest heart among them, finally couldn't control herself and swallowed hard.

She witnessed the signing of the Peace Treaty by the three parties.

The person who witnessed their relationship was someone she had a strong liking for, and who was even her nominal fiancé.

That's terrifying!

Fortunately, Akeno Himejima and the others weren't there, otherwise their reactions would probably have been similar to Rias's, or even worse.

But unlike Rias, who was an outsider, both Arthur and Vali were well aware that all of this meeting was merely a formality.

Vali no longer cared, because he had joined the Khaos Brigade.

Arthur, however, had already guessed that the leaders of these three forces were secretly creating a true "Peace Treaty."

None of them had any intention of starting a war, but they had to stop the people below them.

However, stopping it cannot be achieved simply by saying words!

Therefore, they need a Counter Force control the three realms.

That's Arthur!

"I have no objection." Turning his head to look at Arthur on the sofa, Michael, who least wanted war to happen, nodded immediately.

I have no objection either.

Meanwhile, Sirzechs, who was nominally Arthur's brother-in-law, also nodded in agreement.

"Then... boom!"

Azazel nodded slightly, about to announce the formal conclusion of the Peace Treaty.

At that moment, a violent explosion suddenly rang out from the Kuoh Academy.

"Really... it seems something has gone wrong." Azazel swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat and scratched his head in annoyance.

"They've probably arrived." Vali stood up, turned to face the window, looked down at the unmoved Arthur, and whispered.

Arthur nodded slightly, remaining silent.

Meanwhile, outside the campus.

In the old school building surrounded by trees, a window in one of the rooms shattered, and a blurry figure shot out from the dimly lit room.

Like a firework, it exploded in the air, flashing with a golden electric current.

Like a firework, it exploded in the air, flashing with a golden electric current.

"Whoosh--"

"Ara ara... Have you ever experienced the baptism of heavenly lightning?"

Several more afterimages shot out, but this time they hovered in the air, their feet resting on a golden True Magic circle, thus remaining suspended in mid-air.

These were Magecraft dressed in black robes and wearing hoods with gold eyes painted on them.

Their figures were frozen in mid-air, their expressions obscured by their hooded hats.

But the eyes painted on the hood shot out golden light, like laser beams, shooting towards the dimly lit room.

At the same time, pleasant, excited sounds masked the laser beams slicing through the air.

"Call out--"

The next moment, a golden beam of light shone on the two figures, one tall and one short, in the room, and burst out of the window with a sonic boom.

"Smack--"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the Magecraft dressed in black robes didn't even have time to dodge Lei Shu before they were all transformed into a burst of light and exploded.

"Senior Akeno, look..."

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood before the broken window. Suddenly, Koneko Toujou raised her hand and pointed to the sky above the barrier, speaking in a cool tone.

"Ara ara... There's so much." Akeno Himejima said excitedly, her face flushed, while one hand supported her cheek and the other hand crackled with electricity.

A colossal True Magic circle appeared high in the sky, which was covered with scales and crystals. From it emerged numerous smaller True Magic circles, each containing an inverted magician, dressed just like Magecraft who had been annihilated earlier, defying gravity.

Clearly, these Magecraft belong to an organization or group.

This attack on the Kuoh Academy must have been planned in advance.

"Whoosh--"

Just then, the whole world turned red, as if it had become another dimension.

Time stood still!

"This is..."

A burst of golden light instantly enveloped Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou's bodies, freeing them from the power's restrictions.

But Aisa, who was behind them, wasn't as forgiving as (Lee Wang's).

Without the Authority granted by Arthur, Aisa's timid appearance remained frozen in time.

"We've fallen for their trap..." The excitement on Akeno Himejima's face vanished, replaced by a serious expression with slightly furrowed brows.

Then, she glanced at Aisa behind her and said to the Koneko Toujou, "Koneko, use that power to take Aisa to find Arthur."

"I'll go check on Gasper's situation..."

After saying that, Akeno Himejima quickly ran off in one direction, chanting as she did so:

" --Inazuma! I am the conqueror who can defeat a thousand with a hundred, a thousand with a thousand, a thousand with ten thousand, a ten thousand with tens of thousands. Now, grant me divine power, shine forth for me who stands on the side of justice! It is I who will crush all enemies and hostility!"

The "Thunder" Authority bestowed upon his body was thus activated.

Chapter 444 My name is Arthur, Arthur Pendragon

"Snap--Whoosh!"

As the chanted Word of Power ended, a pair of differently shaped Fallen Angel and Demon wings unfolded behind Akeno Himejima, and her beautiful figure vanished as a golden streak of light.

At the same time, a sudden clap of thunder echoed in the sky.

A beam of Mana descended from above the Magecraft dressed in black robes, heading towards a certain location within the Kuoh Academy.

Compared to those thin, needle-like lasers, this beam of light was hundreds of times larger.

The target of this Mana beam was none other than Sona Sitri, who was patrolling the Kuoh Academy with her retinue.

"President!"

Shinra Tsubaki, who was always by Sona Sitri's side, instinctively stood in front of Sona Sitri, looking up at the falling beam of Mana energy, her beautiful face covered in sweat.

As the "Queen" who Sona Sitri, her strength is not even comparable to Akeno Himejima; she is merely at the level of Middle-Class Devil.

Now, after Arthur's 257 training and the granting of Authority, Akeno Himejima's strength has long since reached the upper-level, or even the highest-level.

This was still before she could unleash the full power of her Authority; otherwise, the power of "Thunder," enough to destroy the entire Japanese islands, would definitely be at the level of Demon King.

However, the Mana beam of light overhead possessed power at the highest level.

Although Shinra Tsubaki possesses the Sacred Gear "Mirror of Reminiscence," which allows her to summon aliens through the mirror and return attacks to the opponent multiple times when the mirror is destroyed, this is only possible if it is within her tolerance range.

That beam of Mana had clearly exceeded its tolerance limit.

"Tsubaki, get out of the way!" Facing the massive beam of Mana, Sona Sitri remained calm, adjusted his glasses, and pushed aside Shinra Tsubaki, who was blocking his way.

"Call out--"

Just then, a golden beam of light, from a great distance, produced a sonic boom.

At a speed several times greater than that of Mana beam, it shattered the beam into endless brilliance, and the remaining force struck the crystal barrier, causing it to tremble.

"That is..."

Seeing the formidable beam of Mana shattered by another, higher-level beam, both Sona Sitri and Shinra Tsubaki turned their gazes in the direction from which the beam had shot.

On a luxurious building, a figure standing in front of an open window slowly lowered his hand, which was adorned with crimson gauntlets.

It was none other than Arthur Pendragon, the "Red Dragon Emperor," who had recently refreshed their understanding of power and left an indelible impression on them.

Looking at Arthur, who stood calmly beside Rias, and Sona Sitri with Mana, she subconsciously crossed her arms, her slender, jade-like fingers gently touching her glasses, and a glint of light flashed in her beautiful purple eyes.

With her usual calm demeanor, she said, "Tsubaki, go and bring everyone here!"

With her usual calm demeanor, she said, "Tsubaki, go and bring everyone here!"

The freezing of time had no effect on her, who possessed superior power, and Shinra Tsubaki was also unaffected because of her, but it was uncertain whether the other weaker familiars would be affected.

"These uninvited guests seem to be quite hostile!" Walking to the balcony of the room, Azazel put his hands on the handrails, looked at the figures standing above the magician, sighed, and then looked sideways at Sirzechs and Michael who also walked out, and asked doubtfully, "Are they your enemies?"

"Maybe, but I don't recall it," Sirzechs said, shaking his head uncertainly.

"It shouldn't be!" Michael said gently.

"That's strange. Who is this hostility directed at? That little girl from the Sitri Family? But surely it's not worth sending such an exaggerated force?" Hearing their denial, Azazel became even more puzzled, scratching his head and looking down at Sona Sitri, muttering under his breath.
