Putting down the phone, just as August was about to go back to check, he noticed a deep blue magic circle appearing.
The next second, Sona and Tsubaki appeared along with it.
"Sona, Tsubaki, how did you come here? Missed me? If you miss me, say something, I'll come over to see you right away, it's just a small matter."
"August, I'm not here for you but for Rias."
"Well, that's disappointing."
Sona and Tsubaki had known August for more than a day, so they simply ignored his behavior.
Their gaze fell on the four figures practicing diligently in the distance.
Seeing Akeno surrounded by thunderous light, Rias with power of destruction in her hands, the cat who had returned to its original form, and Kiba create swords continuously.
In such a scene, both Sona and Tsubaki showed astonishment on their faces.
"Hmm? Rias? Sona did you come here?"
Rias saw Sona instantly and stopped the training at hand.
"Come to see the results of your training. It seems you've all gained a lot."
"Yes, as expected from August, indeed extraordinary."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Rias praising August like this, Sona's first reaction was to give August a resentful look, as if August had done something to upset her.
August was puzzled. However, Rias, watching the exchange of glances between August and Sona, couldn't help but laugh.
If the first round was dominated by Sona, now it seemed like she was in control.
From Sona's expression just now, August didn't help Sona and her peerages, but he helped himself and his peerages.
However, Rias forgot one thing, August helped her because of her brother, not her.
"Long time no see, Tsubaki."
"Long time no see, Akeno."
The two queens from both sides met at this moment.
The last time they were evenly matched, both being intermediate devils with similar strength.
But now, Akeno had already advanced to a high-class devil, while Tsubaki remained an intermediate devil.
Even without words, an invisible competition began between the two. In Akeno, high-class demonic power erupted, and Tsubaki also released her own magic.
However, the gap between an intermediate devil and a high-class devil was too significant. Before long, Tsubaki was defeated.
Boom!
But just after Tsubaki was repelled, a power like an abyss suddenly descended.
Akeno was instantly overwhelmed, completely powerless against this terrifying magic power. Before this terrifying magic power, she was like an ant.
"Akeno, do you think that become to a high-class devil, you're invincible?"
August's voice sounded, making Akeno shiver.
And looking at August now resembling a demonic god, Tsubaki's eyes also flickered slightly.
"Sensei~"
Akeno lowered her head. Towards August, she felt both respect and fear.
On the one hand, August helped her make a decision, but on the other hand, she felt fear because August knew everything about her. Now, another layer of fear was added, the absolute overwhelming strength.
Dispelling her own magic power, August helped Tsubaki up. Although the oppression just now wasn't directed at her, it still affected her.
The two people's completely different treatment made everyone smell a hint of something wrong.
Just a moment ago, Rias and Sona, who were still competing with each other, suddenly felt like they had been robbed.
As for Tsubaki, her face was quite red at the moment. She also realized August's special nature.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine~"
Tsubaki kept her head down and dared not look up because she knew she was definitely the center of attention now.
"I say, aren't you shy?"
"Stop talking~ Ah~"
Covering her face, Tsubaki directly activated a magic circle, teleporting back to the Kuoh Academy.
August was stunned. What just happened? Shouldn't she be shy and throw herself into his arms? Why did she run away?
"Sona, look like, your queen has someone in her heart."
"Is there anything wrong with that? To be noticed by Demon Duke, even if it's not as a main wife, it's still an honor."
"You're saying this, but do you want to become the main wife?"
"What if I do?"
"Sona, you-"
Rias looked at Sonawith some disbelief. Was this the same calm and arrogant Sona?
She actually admitted to wanting to become the main wife of August. Although Rias only casually teased Sona, it seemed that Sona took it seriously.
"Rias, I'm different from you. My future is in my own hands."
With just one sentence, Sona choked Rias half to death. Well, hitting people without hitting their faces, scolding people without exposing their weaknesses.
After the anger, there was only melancholy.
Because, as Sona said, her future was in her own hands. She had already withdrawn from the engagement placed on her, and now her future was decided by herself.
Moreover, if she could really marry Demon Duke like August, then the Sitri family would definitely agree. Shortly afterward, she would succeed as the head of the Sitri family, and August being the head of the Demon clan, their alliance would be a wish come true for everyone in the Sitri family.
Moreover, there was only one Demon clan member, August. The future descendants of the Demon clan would carry half the bloodline of the Sitri family.
All of these were only beneficial and had no drawbacks for the Sitri family. Therefore, if Sona really liked August, there would be no hindrance from the Sitri family.
"By the way, Rias, earlier you mentioned that August taught you a powerful magic. How is it going?"
"Uh, I'm still exploring it for now. To master it completely, it will take some time."
"How is the magic?"
"It's powerful and has the potential for further improvement."
"Further improvement?"
"Yes, what I'm learning now is just a basic version. There are stronger versions later on."
This surprised Sona. A magic with growth potential had extraordinary value.
At this moment, August walked over. Tsubaki had just run away from his strange behavior, making August feel for the first time a misconception about his own attractiveness. Wasn't he supposed to have a strong appeal to women?
"August, Rias said the magic you taught her can be further improved. Is that true?"
"Magic? Are you talking about the Great Spiralling Ring? Of course."
Saying that, August raised one hand, conjuring a Great Spiralling Ring.
Feeling the immense magic power, Sona was amazed.
However, immediately after, the Great Spiralling Ring began to rapidly enlarge, directly from its original apple size to the size of a basketball, with flames resembling a halo surrounding it.
