As I walked into a quiet place, I sensed someone's presence following me. With my growing strength, it seems my senses have become sharper.
The familiar aura made me frown—could they have already found out about me? I thought, slightly in disbelief, that they discovered me so quickly.
I then sighed. If I've already been found out, I might as well tell them. After all, I have a plan in case this happens.
A smirk appeared on my face. I wanted to see if I could use the technique I had been thinking about—I had a feeling I could pull it off.
Without hesitation, I activated it, and in an instant, darkness enveloped my entire body.
"He's gone," said Koneko, who had been following Ren, shocked as she watched him become engulfed in darkness and then vanish.
As Koneko stood frozen in surprise, someone suddenly hugged her from behind, making her struggle to break free.
"So, little stalker, do you have something to say?" I said with amusement.
Hearing the familiar voice and scent made Koneko relax, and her face turned red.
"I'm not a stalker! Also, can you put me down?" Koneko said, blushing, feeling embarrassed at being carried around.
"Nope," I replied with a smirk as I jumped onto the rooftop. I sat on the edge and placed Koneko in my lap, still holding her in a hug.
"So, why are you following me?" I asked, resting my chin on her head.
Koneko tried to break free, but eventually gave up. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape Ren's arms.
"I'm following you because you're under suspicion… of being a pedophile," Koneko said after a pause.
"Wha—" Her words left me stunned, my mouth hanging open in disbelief.
"Why would you even think that?" I asked once I'd calmed myself.
"Then explain why I feel something hard underneath me," Koneko mumbled, cheeks flushed, as she felt something big, firm, and hot beneath her.
"That's because I find you attractive. Also, aren't you basically admitting you're short?" I said with a smile.
"Ugh..." Hearing what Ren said, Koneko couldn't argue back. Instead, she just pinched Ren's arm out of frustration.
"Ow, ow, ow! Alright, I give up—just stop!" I said with a grimace, feeling the sharp pain from her pinch.
As soon as she let go, Koneko quickly backed away from me, glaring with a red face.
Seeing that, I just chuckled, then asked something that had been on my mind.
"So, how did you know I was supernatural? I'm pretty sure I already concealed my mana," I asked Koneko, genuinely curious.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Koneko then answered Ren's question.
"It's your smell," Koneko replied shortly.
Hearing that made me realize that my race had changed, so of course my scent would be different.
"I see... so, what are you going to do now, Koneko?" I asked her.
"I wanted to keep investigating you, but since I've already found out, I'll head back," Koneko said after thinking it over.
"I see. In that case, see you again tomorrow," I said with a grin, gently patting her head.
Koneko just looked at me with a blushing face, then quickly turned around to leave. But before she got too far, she suddenly stopped.
"See you again, Pervert Ren," Koneko said, then quickly ran away.
I just smile seeing her like that, somehow feeling happy about it.
"Alright, now that she's gone, let's get back to the hunt," I said after a moment.
Now, with my new technique—teleporting to dark places—I can hunt stray devils and other nocturnal creatures in distant areas. With Mana Detection, I can easily locate them, since I realized that using Demonic Aura was a foolish idea—it would just give away my position.
I kept hunting until midnight, which allowed me to level up three times.
Then, I allocated fifteen points into Mana and Intelligence, and I also maxed out Demon Mark because I felt it was a very useful skill.
Now, my status looks like this:

After that, I returned home and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the atmosphere at the breakfast table was a bit awkward, as Yana and Lina turned their flushed faces away whenever they made eye contact with me.
I simply gave a sadistic smile at the sight and enjoyed my breakfast happily.
As Lina and I were about to leave for school, feeling mischievous, I gave a slap to Yana's sexy butt.
Yana, the one whose butt was slapped, bit her lip to hold back the sweet sound that threatened to escape her lips and glanced at Ren with a blushing face.
Hearing a voice behind her, Lina turned around to see what was happening. She only saw Yana, her face flushed red, and Ren, who was smiling at her.
Seeing Ren's smile, Lina quickly turned her face away, which instantly turned red as well.
Remembering how she had masturbated and called out his name yesterday made her feel ashamed and shy.
As we walked to school together, I glanced at Lina, who had been silent the whole time, her face still red.
Maybe it's time to "devour" them, I thought with a grin.
And so, I went to school while trying to calm Lina down so she wouldn't turn into a blushing mess every time I talked to her.
Just like yesterday, almost every student I passed stared at me, and I just tried to ignore it—I'm still not used to being the center of attention.
As the lesson was just beginning, I suddenly got an idea and decided to try it out.
First, I connected my Dark Power like string over everyone in the classroom, then I attempted to control their perception.
To test whether I could truly control them, I tried throwing my pencil quietly at Issei's head.
Seeing Issei not react at all when the pencil hit him made me feel happy—because it meant I could control people with my Dark Power.
Then, with a smirk, I ordered Aika to come to my desk.
Aika, who had been lost in thought about what she had done yesterday, was shocked when her body stood up on its own, beyond her control.
Her body then walked toward Ren. Feeling anxious, she looked around and noticed that no one reacted to her actions — even as she walked right in front of them, it was as if she were invisible.
The moment she stood in front of Ren, she suddenly crouched down, bringing her head close to his pants.
Seeing Ren grinning at her from above made Aika feel a little hot, even though she was still confused about the situation.
Her hands then opened Ren's pants by themselves, when they were open, a big penis appeared in front of her, causing a shadow to appear on her face.
Seeing such a fine specimen up close made her start to realize what had just happened, and she looked at Ren's face in surprise.
But before she said anything, she opened her mouth by herself and put Ren's penis inside.
Feeling Aika's rather amateur blowjob I felt a little unsatisfied and tried to teach her how to do it with Demon Mark while holding her head.
After a few minutes Aika became more skilled and I felt the pleasure, though she can only put half of it in her mouth.
And not long after that I was close to cumming, then grabbing Aika's head and releasing my cum inside her mouth.
As I cum I saw Aika's cheeks becoming bigger and ordered her to swallow all my cum.
Gulp, gulp, gulp
Hearing the sound of Aika gulping my cum makes me excited, but I try to hold back because the bell is going to ring soon.
Plop
The sound of Aika releasing penis from her mouth.
Just as Aika was about to open her mouth to ask a question, Ren spoke first.
"I'll explain it another time. For now, go back to your seat," I said, as I sensed someone approaching my classroom.
Aika felt a little dissatisfied hearing that, but she could only obey—there was no way she could argue with someone who could control others.
As Aika returned to her seat, I withdrew the Dark Power. At that moment, the bell rang, signaling the start of the break.
As soon as the break began, I saw Koneko enter my classroom, causing an uproar among my classmates.
Koneko ignored the commotion she caused and walked straight toward Ren.
"Ren, can you come with me?" she asked once she was in front of me.
"Sure," I replied briefly, then followed Koneko, ignoring the Perverted Trio who were cursing at me.
As I follow Koneko to the Occult Research Club, I can't help but ask her.
"So why did you come to me?" I asked, though I had already guessed the answer.
"Because I'm the one who's most familiar with you, also Rias wants to talk with you" she replied.
"Hmm, I see," I replied briefly.
Then, we walked to the Occult Research Club in a comfortable silence.
When we arrived at the door of the Occult Research Club, Koneko opened it without hesitation and walked in, with me following behind.
As I looked around the room of the Occult Research Club with curiosity, I heard a voice welcoming me.
"Welcome to the Occult Research Club, Ren Kuroishi."
Hearing that voice, I turned toward it. There, a red-haired woman with a stunning figure was sitting casually on the sofa, smiling at me. The main heroine Rias Gremory.
"Just Ren is fine. Can I sit here?" I asked casually, gesturing toward the sofa across from Rias.
"Of course," Rias replied briefly, nodding her head.
As I sat down on the sofa, I took a moment to observe the others in the room, particularly the person standing behind Rias.
Kiba Yuuto—if I'm not mistaken, he was a result of the Holy Sword Project and was saved by Rias just before he died.
While I was thinking, someone placed a cup of tea in front of me.
"Here's your tea."
"Thank you."
Akeno Himejima, a half-fallen angel and half-devil with an even more stunning figure than Rias, simply smiled at me and sat beside Rias.
Meanwhile, Koneko, after getting some food, sat down next to me.
"Oh, this tastes good," I said, surprised by the flavor as I sipped the tea.
"Thank you," Akeno replied with a soft chuckle, "Ufufufu."
"So, why did you call me here, Rias?" I asked as I continued sipping my tea.
"Before that, let me tell you who we are," Rias said, revealing her wings.
"We are devils."
With those words, Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko also revealed their wings.
"Heeeh..." I responded with a blank expression.
"You don't seem surprised at all. Did you already know about us?" Rias asked curiously, retracting her wings.
"Yeah. Your presence is very different from normal humans, and also..."
"Also?"
"If you're devils, then what would I be called?" I said as I activated my Demon Form and released my Mana Concealment.
When I did that, a look of shock appeared on their faces as they saw my changed appearance and felt the pressure emanating from my body.
I then quickly returned to normal and smiled at Rias, who was still surprised.
After her shock wore off, Rias became happy, as she felt that I was stronger than Issei—making her want me to join her peerage instead of him, who was still unpredictable.
"Ren, would you like to become part of my peerage?" Rias asked with a joyful smile.
"Explain what a peerage is first," I said, even though I already knew.
Rias then explained many things—about the history of devils, Sacred Gears, the peerage system, and other matters related to the supernatural.
She and the other members of the Occult Research Club also asked about me and how I ended up resembling a devil.
I simply answered truthfully, saying that I came to resemble a devil naturally, without revealing anything about the system—because that was the truth.
"So, do you want to become part of my peerage?" Rias asked, her eyes filled with hope after she finished explaining everything.
"Before that, can we talk in private? There's something I want to discuss with you," I said with a serious expression.
"Hmm?" Rias looked confused, but she granted Ren's request and instructed the others to leave the room.
