Lin Luo's fury

King: The Devil who received the Evil Piece, possessing the ability to turn other creatures into Devils.

Queen: Possessed the abilities of every piece except the King and Pawn.

Rook: Possessed exceptionally high attack power and defense.

Bishop: Possessed a talent for magic.

Knight: Had exceptionally high speed.

Pawn: Though it had the lowest value, with the King's permission, it could promote to any other piece, instantly changing its abilities.

As for why he had given Utaha Kasumigaoka the most valuable piece, the Queen, it was simply a matter of intuition.

The Evil Pieces were just icing on the cake for him anyway. Wasting a little was no big deal.

At the very least, gaining a beautiful girl was no loss. He was a shallow man who judged by appearances.

A long while later, Utaha Kasumigaoka stood up, her face flushed and her body drenched in fragrant sweat.

Looking herself over with some distaste, Utaha Kasumigaoka took off her stockings and planted her creamy white toes on the floor.

Across from her, Lin Luo's gaze drifted downward involuntarily.

"Mr. Devil, have you stared enough?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka curled her toes slightly and looked at Lin Luo with a smile.

"Oh?"

Lin Luo smiled back. "Shouldn't you change what you call me now?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka gave Lin Luo an odd look. "How about Master Pervert?"

"If you consider that a respectful title, I have no objections."

"You really are a pervert, aren't you, dear master?"

"Thank you for the compliment, then."

Lin Luo took out his phone. "Let's exchange contact details so we can reach each other later."

"Are Devils' methods of communication really this ordinary?"

Muttering to herself, Utaha Kasumigaoka took out her phone.

After they exchanged numbers, Lin Luo brought out several Grimoires. "Here. Aside from the changes to your physical abilities, you should have gained an aptitude for magic, too. Read through these on your own first."

Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes lit up at his words, and she immediately grew excited.

Magic!

This was a power straight out of legends.

Was she finally about to uncover the truth of this world?

Seeing her reaction, Lin Luo picked up a book and said:

"This one covers the fundamentals of magic. I suggest starting here. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

"Mm-hmm!"

Utaha Kasumigaoka nodded repeatedly, then eagerly began leafing through it.

Lin Luo didn't disturb her. He found some Black Tea on the table, brewed himself a cup, and leisurely sipped it.

But before long!

His pupils contracted slightly.

He saw Utaha Kasumigaoka raise her hand, and a strange fluctuation rippled outward.

Lin Luo was all too familiar with this. She was actually casting magic.

Hum!

Light flooded the room, and a small, pale blue Magic Circle appeared.

Whoosh!

Wisps of breeze stirred through the air.

So this was magic?

Utaha Kasumigaoka looked utterly entranced.

At that moment, she was like a child with a new toy, continuing to flip through the Grimoire.

"..."

Watching all this, Lin Luo fell silent.

It seemed his intuition had been right. She really was a genius.

But wasn't this a little too absurd?

It might have been the most basic magic, but she had learned it after reading it just once?

Even Akeno Himejima, with her special bloodline, probably couldn't do any better.

Chapter 5: Lin Luo's Fury

"Phew!"

The high school girl with long, straight black hair sat on the sofa and let out a weak breath.

The Grimoire slipped limply from her hands to the floor. With her black stockings removed, her legs gleamed like jade under the light.

In front of her, Lin Luo held his Black Tea and looked at her with amusement.

"You know, you shouldn't push yourself too hard when you're learning magic for the first time. You've run out of magical power now, haven't you?"

Despite saying this, he sincerely admired Utaha Kasumigaoka's talent for magic.

In just a few hours, she had mastered the basics and become a fully qualified Lesser Devil.

"Who knew this would happen? You could've warned me." Utaha Kasumigaoka rolled her eyes and weakly propped herself up. "Say, my perverted master, your Familiar is in this state, and all you do is stare at her legs. Can't you think of something to help?"

"Since you put it that way, I'll replenish your magic."

"Mana Supplementation? You mean restoring my magical power?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes lit up. "If you have a way to do that, hurry up and use it!"

"Remember, you asked for this."

Utaha Kasumigaoka, who only wanted to regain her magical power, had been full of anticipation. Then she noticed Lin Luo's red eyes drawing closer and closer.

Huh?

Did he need to get this close for Mana Supplementation?

Just as she was about to ask...

Her mouth was sealed.

Utaha Kasumigaoka's beautiful eyes widened.

This was Mana Supplementation?

The room was utterly quiet!

Only magical power flowed between their bodies.

"Master Pervert, were you planning this all along?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka's feet curled awkwardly, her face scarlet with embarrassment.

"I'm restoring your Magic Power here. It's hard work, you know."

Lin Luo looked utterly wronged.

"..."

Utaha Kasumigaoka stared at Lin Luo in disbelief, her delicate fists clenching slightly.

So she was the one taking advantage of him, was she?

How infuriating!

Lin Luo took out his phone and said, "Be more careful next time. Don't exhaust your Magic Power. I've sent you the information. Make arrangements to transfer to my school."

Utaha Kasumigaoka took a deep breath and asked suspiciously, "Do Devils go to school, too?"

"Of course. Can't you see the school uniform I'm wearing?"

"Sorry, I thought it was some peculiar hobby of my perverted master."

"Oh, and keep that flyer. If you're ever in danger, summon me right away."

After some thought, Lin Luo gave her a few more reminders and explained some basic things.

Though Utaha Kasumigaoka had extraordinary talent and had become a Low-Class Devil,

she was still a complete novice in the supernatural world, so he had to give her some attention.

"All right. I'll be careful."

When the conversation turned serious, Utaha Kasumigaoka stopped making barbed remarks and listened intently. Finally, she said:

"I'll transfer as soon as possible."

"Good!"

Lin Luo nodded.

The next instant, the light of a Magic Circle appeared beneath his feet.

This was teleportation magic. Though it was commonly used by Devils, it allowed them to cross space at tremendous speed as long as a teleportation circle had been set up.

Still, common as it was, it was far from easy.

Lin Luo had put a great deal of effort into learning this magic.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, Lin Luo reappeared in his home.

He lived alone in a room in an Apartment.

There were no neighbors, however, because the entire Apartment building belonged to him.

Although it was already late at night,

Lin Luo did not go to sleep. Instead, he took out some more Grimoires.

He still had plenty of the books Rias had given him, and he couldn't waste time.

As a Devil, going a few days without sleep wouldn't hurt him anyway.

In the blink of an eye,

several days passed.

Now!

Inside the Apartment room!

Lin Luo leaned back on the sofa, his eyes gently closed.

From the outside, he seemed to be dozing.

Inside his body, however, earthshaking changes had already taken place.

His already immense Magic Power was growing almost every moment, like surging waves.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Luo finally exhaled a stale breath and summoned his virtual panel.
