Chapter 8

Altair continued to wander around the school campus while he was thinking about this, but everything in him came to a standstill when he came across something shocking.

For someone like Issei, who at this very moment was strolling hand in hand with a lovely girl, this was startling, and would cause several boys in the school to have heart attacks at the sight of this sight. Well, it wasn't that surprising, but for someone like Issei, who at this very moment was walking hand in hand with a beautiful girl, this was surprising.

The girl who was walking beside Issei while the two of them were holding hands had violet eyes and long black hair that reached down to her hips. Her beauty was stunning. In addition, she had a lean figure with a big bust despite having a small waist.

However, Altair was not very taken aback by the size of this girl's bust because, given who she was, he considered it to be quite natural.

Her school uniform was a dark red jacket with the letter "P" embroidered in gold on the left breast, a white T-shirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a small white strip around the bottom edge of it. Her green skirt also had a little white strip around the bottom edge of it.

In addition to having a complete understanding of who this girl was, Altair was also well aware of the significance of her presence in this location.

The proclamation, "The Enrendo of this world has begun," has been made. Altair was aware that things could grow more problematic from this point on. In addition, during this little period of time, Issei would be exposed to devils, which would awaken his strength.

Even if Altair were harsh, he could not help Issei from being a slave to Rias because there was nothing that he could do to reverse the course of Issei's fate. Altair knew this. In addition to this, he was concerned that if he assisted Issei, the happenings of the future would be radically altered, making them impossible for him to foresee. This was not something that he wanted to happen, as he prefers to maintain some level of control over the things that are important to him; after all, he is a control freak.

He had every intention of being more actively involved in the happenings of this world once he had reached the point where he judged himself to be powerful enough to do so; until then, he was terrified of being discovered by an unknown being belonging to some faction.

And for as long as he was not powerful enough, all that he was capable of doing was controlling things from behind the scenes by utilising solely his intelligence, which, despite not being the best in this world, could still be deemed good since he had something that other people didn't have... the ability to see into the future. And Altair is well aware that so long as he retains this knowledge, the deck is unlikely to be stacked against him.

Another reason he chose not to assist Issei was that he had serious doubts about the possibility of Issei becoming powerful as a human. If we make a comparison, we can see that what a human could earn by training for an entire year, a devil could easily gain by training for three months.

And it was the primary distinction between the two groups of people.

Aside from that, the body of a human is significantly more delicate than that of a demon, which possesses an incredible amount of vitality and longevity. Of course, there is an outlier in every race, but Altair had his doubts that Issei was one of the people that fell into the exception category.

Still, despite the fact that this will undoubtedly change in the near future as a result of the arrival of the group of heroes, I believe that this is not enough.

Altair was aware that the strongest person in the world had not yet shown himself at this time; hence, his immediate objective was to achieve a level of strength that was superior to that of the strongest human in the

Altair was on his way home when he made the decision to watch and see if the events unfolded in the same manner as they had in the beginning of the story. He had a nagging suspicion that his mere presence had altered the events that transpired at the start of the story.

But it would appear that his concerns were unwarranted, as he was able to see from a distance a lady dressed as the Devil. This woman turned out to be a relative of Rias', and she was in the process of presenting a leaflet to Issei at the time.

And according to what Altair is aware of, this pamphlet is in reality the magic emblem of the Gremory clan, and it may be used to either summon Rias or another slave of herpeerage.

"I really need to work on not being so paranoid..." Altair was relieved to learn that his insignificant role in the story would not effect its progression. As a result, he made the decision to concentrate solely on himself for the time being and to only enter this realm once he had achieved sufficient levels of power. Altair finally arrived at his house after only a few minutes of travelling, and to tell you the truth, he was a little exhausted when he got there. In such a short amount of time, he had gathered a significant amount of knowledge and developed a great number of strategies to ensure the safety of his future.

I can't deny the fact that this house has a lot of space.

The apartment that Altair was presently residing in is really roomy; in fact, it could possibly accommodate ten people without appearing to be overcrowded. In addition, the three rooms in this cramped apartment already include clothing and all of the other supplies that are necessary for a typical person to live.

As soon as Altair entered his room, he threw his backpack to the ground and jumped straight onto his plush bed. His bed was exceedingly comfy.

Even while it may appear like Altair is currently just relaxing or being lazy, the reality is quite different. He is currently considering how he should distribute his points, and he is also pondering whether or not he could purchase something helpful from the system's store.

How is it that he is aware that the system possesses a store? He trusts his intuition, and it has never led him astray.

"The basic attributes of the system can really fool a person," so I shouldn't focus just on it; otherwise, I may easily underestimate a formidable opponent by thinking that he is weak because of his basic attributes. "The basic attributes of the system can really fool a person,"

Altair was aware that there were still a great many things about the system that he would need to master, but for the time being, all he could do was concentrate on dispersing the points that he presently possesses.

"Show my status, system," the command read.

Even though it would make him weaker in the short term, in the long run, he would have a very fantastic foundation to become even stronger, as well as minimise his present weaknesses, therefore Altair made the decision to follow the route of balance since he felt that was the best thing he could do at the moment. He also believed that following the path of balance would be the best thing for him to do.
