Chapter 18 - Qualifications

Sakuramachi Touko wasn't happy, but she couldn't help it.

The other party was not only the vice president of the student union, her strength also completely surpassed hers.

She was a small succubus, lacking the confidence or strength to fight against a prominent member of a higher demon's family.

The agreement with Aoki was postponed indefinitely. 

Observing Sakuramachi Touko's reluctant expression, Aoki shrugged helplessly.

He was equally confused.

Aoki knew the black-haired, straight-haired beauty in front of him, but he didn't know much about her.

Shinra Tsubaki was a member of Sona's family and was her queen.

That's it; she was gone. 

There were too many female characters in Devil's High School DXD.

Shinra Tsubaki could be considered the best female supporting character.

Fortunately, he could remember them. 

After Sakuramachi left, it was just him and another person alone.

However, compared to the ambiguous atmosphere from Sakuramachi Touko, there was only embarrassment now. 

"What does the vice president want from me?"

Aoki showed a polite smile and said half-jokingly:

 "There is no rule in the university that prohibits falling in love." 

Shinra Tsubaki looked at Aoki and asked:

"Are you in love? It's an understatement to say there is a relationship between men and women."

With the mission in hand, she went straight to the point.

"No one cares what you want to do with that succubus, but there are some things that need to be confirmed first." 

Aoki responded, "Vice President, please tell me. I'll share everything I know."

In other words, if he don't share it, it means he don't know. 

"Aoki Uesugi, 16 years old, 170 cm tall, 55 kg in weight. Did enter to Kuoh Academy High School in April and living with the Takamine family. His parents work overseas..."

After Shinra Tsubaki spoke extensively about Aoki's basic information, she finally began discussing the key points.

"Three weeks ago, because of your relationship with Hamazaki Reina, Sasaki Yukina, and Kurumizaka Ruri, awakened the succubus blood in my body..."

Shinra Tsubaki put down the information in her hand and looked at Aoki.

"Is all the information above correct?"

Combined with the previous conversation with Sakuramachi Touko, Aoki finally had a clue and felt reassured.

"Well, yes, but I want to explain one thing. I just think that I may have succubus blood. I don't know if it's true or not."

Just in case, Aoki applied a patch.

Shinra Tsubaki nodded.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you have succubus blood or not, as long as you have powers that ordinary people don't have."

Aoki nodded.

"Do you need to show it to me?"

"Power."

Aoki mobilized all his strength, raised his right foot, and took a step with force.

With a tremor, the ground cracked, and his right foot sank straight into the ground, leaving only his ankle exposed.

The force of the impact made Aoki grimace, and his right foot seemed to be swollen…

Attacking Mother Earth with all our strength is too much.

If he hadn't used all his muscles in time to absorb the force of the impact, his right foot would have swollen or at least fractured.

"Not bad."

Aoki's display of full power appeared the same in Shinra Tsubaki's eyes. Any magic he cast would be more destructive than this.

After saying that, Shinra Tsubaki raised his white hands, and instantly a small magic circle formed.

With a flash of earth-yellow light, the cracked ground returned to its original state, leaving no trace behind.

Only the wounded world of youth can achieve that.

Aoki: "..."

"Vice President, can you help me treat it too?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know healing magic." 

Shinra Tsubaki said helplessly:

"I didn't expect you to be so tough. Originally, I planned to test your strength myself..." 

Aoki looked at his swollen right foot and felt like crying. 

It is better to seek help from others than to ask for it himself.

He felt it was necessary to quickly acquire a healing talent. 

Being able to recover health and become more resistant to injuries also increases combat effectiveness in a different way. 

"This is how you draw magic power. If you can successfully draw magic power, you can join the academy regardless of whether you have succubus blood or not." 

Shinra Tsubaki took out a booklet that contained the basics of drawing magic power. 

Aoki limped to take it, then opened it and took a look. 

Well, the quality of the book is pretty good, but the content is completely incomprehensible. 

"Although it is the most basic, it is still a bit difficult to get started without anyone's guidance." 

Shinra Tsubaki saw the confusion in Aoki's clear eyes and comforted him

"I will be responsible for explaining it to you next; please pay attention." 

Aoki thought that just because he couldn't understand it didn't mean he couldn't use it.

He could perform basic magic extraction without this book. 

Shinra Tsubaki didn't know Aoki's inner pride, so she carefully explained some terms and tips from the book. 

What about magic power perception, mental strength, meditation time, running route, etc.? 

The obscure words in the book, clarified by Shinra Tsubaki, corresponded one by one to the situation where Aoki drew magic power last time. 

Aoki felt relieved; that's right, it was the main magic drawing skill he had experimented with before. 

When Shinra Tsubaki finished speaking, he said obediently, "Vice President, I already know how to do it." 

"Eh?"

Shinra Tsubaki was stunned for a moment, "Is that okay?" 

"Yes, I understand," Aoki smiled innocently

"The Vice President's explanations were very clear. I could comprehend them easily." 

Shinra Tsubaki: She liked hearing this. He could speak more about it. 

"If you understand, you'll understand. Only when you successfully draw magic power can you be officially introduced." 

Aoki nodded obediently, looking like a good child who has just been introduced to a new world. 

"Then let me try it now?" 

"Meditation requires a quiet place. First, try drawing magic power, preferably when the elements are sufficient..." 

Before Shinra Tsubaki finished speaking, he felt the magical elements in the air begin to converge on Aoki. 

A success?

Meditating while standing? 

It's true that meditation doesn't require sitting cross-legged, but this is being too casual. 

One second he was still talking, and the next second Aoki had successfully extracted magic power… 

In addition to having a strong bloodline and being born with magical powers, Aoki is the fastest person Shinra Tsubaki has ever seen who could begin so quickly. 

Shinra Tsubaki felt that something was amiss, but she couldn't pinpoint it. 

This is just an introduction; perhaps Aoki is simply talented. 

Aoki had no intention of standing and meditating, but his feet were sore, and he didn't want to sit cross-legged. 

He had thought about trying it, but he didn't expect it to happen all of a sudden. 

After obtaining the primary magic extraction skill, Aoki tried it only once; however, once mastered, it became instinctive. 

Just like how no one forgets how to eat and drink. 

Aoki's extraordinary performance disrupted Shinra Tsubaki's plans. 

He originally wanted to ask about helping women improve their strength first, and then wait for Aoki to successfully extract magic power and join the academy before checking it out... 

"Ahem... Now that you've extracted magic power, report to the Student Union tomorrow." 

"Why go to the Student Union?" 

"Extraordinary College is under the management of the Student Union. You won't officially become a member of Extraordinary College until you register." 

Aoki scratched his face and asked cautiously, "Is there any benefit to joining Extraordinary Academy?" 

Shinra Tsubaki replied calmly, "First of all, whether you join or not, we'll register you here, and you must abide by the academy rules."
