Chapter 400

"What's wrong, department..."

As he spoke, Issei glanced at the documents in Rias's hand.

"—!"

Upon seeing the name and photo on the document, Issei's expression immediately changed to one of surprise.

"She is?!"

——

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Kuoh Academy, Luo Mio stood in the school gate wearing the Kuoh Academy's student uniform.

Looking at the Kuoh Academy, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly.

Chapter Four: The Cross and 'I'll probably be back a little late today.'

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"Yes."

"Huh? Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful girl."

"Could it be a transfer student...?"

"Huh? Is it the same as Asia?"

There was a lot of discussion in the corridor, and the focus of the discussion was the beautiful white-haired woman walking in the middle of the corridor.

Luo Mio ignored the other students' discussions and slightly raised her head to look at the signs for each room.

Teacher's Office

"This must be the place."

After saying that, Luo Mio gently knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me."

——

"Have you heard? Have you heard, Issei?"

Issei lay motionless on his seat, recalling everything he had seen in the "Occult Research Club".

I couldn't help but recall the beautiful white-haired woman I encountered during my morning exercise yesterday.

'A nun like Asia...'

Thinking of this, Issei couldn't help but glance at Asia, who was chatting happily with the girls on the other side.

'Could it be that you've come to...'

"—Hey! Issei!"

A loud shout interrupted Issei's thoughts.

"Ahhh?"

Issei looked at his two best friends and frenemy.

Motohama, Matsuda.

"What's wrong with you, Issei? You haven't been paying attention to your mental energy since this morning."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just because of some things."

Issei waved his hand and then asked the two of them.

"So what were you talking about just now?"

Seeing Issei's expression, Motohama and Matsuda exchanged a glance, then looked at Issei with excitement.

"A very beautiful and elegant white-haired girl has come to our school!"

"!"

Upon hearing this, Issei's expression subtly changed.

Motohama continued speaking.

"I had the pleasure of seeing that transfer student in the hallway today."

At this point, a look of rapture appeared on Motohama's face.

Matsuda, who was standing nearby, also spoke up.

"And that transfer student also..."

Just then, the school bell rang.

"Ah, let's talk about it later, Issei."

Then the teacher walked in and announced something to the students.

"Although it is sudden, starting today, our class will welcome a new transfer student."

"Come in."

As the teacher spoke, in Issei's eyes, a beautiful white-haired girl wearing Kuoh Academy student uniform appeared before him.

"!"

"Karen Kasalana, please take good care of me from now on."

——

Luo Mio looked at the many students in the classroom and smiled gently.

Little did they know that Luo Mio's smile caused a few male students in the audience to blush instantly.

Even many women are like this...

But there were only two...

Issei Hyoudou and Asia.

"Let me see, you can sit in the second-to-last row over there."

"Yes."

Luo Mio then walked to the second-to-last row of seats by the aisle.

Meanwhile, Issei Hyoudou and Asia's eyes were also fixed on Luo Mio.

Luo Mio noticed their gazes, but didn't pay them much attention.

"Ah, now please take out your books and turn to page seventy-eight."

Until after class.

"Wow, your hair is so soft and smooth, Karen."

"Karen, what do you usually like to do?"

"Karen, do you have a boyfriend?"

Hearing the discussion among the girls around her, Luo Mio felt slightly embarrassed.

At that moment, one of the girls, with chestnut hair and glasses, walked over and spoke to Luo Mio.

"If not, then you should be careful of that trio of perverts over there."

After she finished speaking, all the girls turned their attention to the trio of Issei, Motohama, and Matsuda on the other side.

"Hey! Aika Kiryu! Don't try to tell Karen weird facts!"

Matsuda, one of the trio, also shouted loudly at Aika Kiryu.

Aika Kiryu pushed up her glasses and said with a playful expression.

"But what I said is the truth."

"Damn it."

Motohama and Matsuda glared at Aika Kiryu with resentment.

However, only Issei Hyoudou looked at Luo Mio with a serious expression, not daring to relax his vigilance in the slightest.

At that moment, the other girls in the class also walked over, each holding the hand of the blonde beauty, Asia.

"Karen, let me introduce you. This is Asia. She's a transfer student like you, and she transferred here a few days ago."

Asia noticed Luo Mio's expression was quite subtle.

Although Asia's expression was slightly embarrassed, Luo Mio could feel the tenderness in her eyes.

In a sense, Asia can be considered a true Saintess.

Saintess embraces everything and treats everyone with gentleness!

Looking at Asia, Luo Mio smiled and said to her.

"Hello, Asia."

"Hello... Karen."

Upon seeing Asia, Luo Mio seemed to suddenly remember something, and then took something out of her drawer and handed it to Asia.

"Although this is our first meeting, I would like to give you a gift Asia."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Asia was also taken aback, and then looked at what Luo Mio was holding.

"—!"

When they saw what Luo Mio was holding, Asia and Issei Hyoudou's eyes narrowed immediately.

In Luo Mio's hand was a very exquisite gold and black cross with intricate patterns.

Cross...

"Wow, what an exquisite cross!"

"Yes, it feels very suitable to pair with Asia."

To outsiders, this cross may seem like just an ordinary, albeit exquisite, cross.

However, in the eyes of Issei Hyoudou and Asia, they were torture instruments that could cause them unbearable pain.

When Issei Hyoudou saw Luo Mio hand the cross to Asia, he was immediately enraged and walked over.

"You...!"

"Thank you for the gift, Karen."

Asia glanced at the cross in Luo Mio's hand, then raised her eyes and gave Karen a very gentle smile.

Then he slowly reached out and took the golden cross from Luo Mio's hand.

As Asia slowly accepted the cross, Issei clenched his fists tightly.

Asia looked at the exquisite cross that was so close to her, and then struggled to take it in her hand.

After a while...

Asia opened her eyes in surprise, her gaze falling on the gold and black cross in her hand.

'This feeling...'

For some reason, holding this cross, Asia did not feel pain or suffering... but rather a very gentle and warm power.

Seeing Asia's surprised expression, Luo Mio smiled gently at Asia.

"Then please take care of me from now on, Asia."

——

After school, Luo Mio also said goodbye to her many classmates and left the classroom.

Before leaving, Luo Mio glanced back at Issei and Asia in the classroom, a slight smile playing on her lips, before turning and leaving the classroom.

After leaving the teaching building, Luo Mio's azure eyes looked in a certain direction from the Kuoh Academy.

There, Luo Mio sensed a powerful, hidden energy fluctuation.
