Join The Occult Research Club!?
Chapter 26 - Join The Occult Research Club!?
Akeno's smiling expression suddenly froze, and she almost didn't ask questions directly.
Rias couldn't help but breathe too fast and almost choked.
Both of them looked at Mahiro with some resentment.
'Why did you act so eager and enthusiastic?'
'You made us think you were going to agree.'
'You let us look forward to it in vain.'
"Mahiro-kun, you are very bad. You obviously disagree, so why did you act like you would?"
Akeno said dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't this to avoid hurting you? Isn't it inhumane if I were indifferent to the benefits you mentioned?
Mahiro shrugged with a smile.
"..."
Akeno rolled her eyes at Mahiro and became even more annoyed. Isn't this even more shocking?
She thought her persuasion would be effective, and Mahiro would agree because he wouldn't be able to refuse.
Who knew that this guy didn't care at all?
His shaky look just now was a pretense to tease her.
Rias was quite speechless. Although she thought she had a certain understanding of Mahiro, she found that she still didn't.
This guy doesn't play by any predictable rules.
Rias is confident in her own charm.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she speaks, all the boys at Kuoh Academy would agree without hesitation.
This is a fact.
Rias' popularity at Kuoh Academy is so high that even girls can be charmed by her.
However, she found that these were of no use to Mahiro at all.
If it was a different person, even a girl, the other party would agree as long as she asked.
However, facing Mahiro, Rias felt a sense of powerlessness.
"It's obviously the best conditions, and I even involved the president and Koneko. Isn't Mahiro a little tempted?"
Akeno said bitterly.
"Of course I'm tempted."
Mahiro nodded and continued, "It's just that we have an old saying."
"What?"
Not only Akeno but also Rias and Koneko looked at Mahiro curiously.
"If a pie falls from the sky, it's either a trap or an illusion."
Rias: "..."
Akeno: "..."
The two were almost out of breath.
After we have said so much, are you still full of vigilance?
"The benefits you mentioned are too tempting, it makes people feel very unreal, and even if it is true, it makes it difficult for me to accept."
Mahiro said.
"Mahiro....."
Rias spoke, wanting to continue persuading.
"Needless to say, Rias, although I don't know why you are so persistent in wanting me to be a Reincarnated Devil, it is impossible for me to promise you."
Mahiro's attitude is unyielding, and his eyes are clear and determined, making people feel his resolve.
Rias stared at Mahiro for a long time, then sighed and apologetically, "Okay, I see."
"Sorry, Mahiro, I was too abrupt today."
Rias has been looking for new members of her peerage recently. When she found a suitable person, she naturally wanted to quickly bring him under her command.
It's just that she didn't expect the other party to be so calm and unimpressed.
His eagerness really made Rias feel very disappointed.
"It's okay, today is also a new experience for me. Thank you for letting me know that there are so many wonderful things in this world."
Mahiro smiled and said politely.
"Although I was rejected by you today, I will not give up."
After Rias felt disappointed, she quickly adjusted her mentality, revealing determination in her eyes.
"..."
Mahiro was also speechless, wondering why Rias was so persistent.
Should he be happy?
After all, such a heroine valued him so much.
"However, Mahiro, I also want to ask, how about joining our club?"
"this..."
Mahiro was embarrassed.
"Mahiro, don't refuse this time. If you really refuse, Rias will really cry."
Akeno pretended to be very sad and pleaded.
Compared with the changeable nature of Akeno, Rias looked at Mahiro with a burning gaze.
Koneko's golden pupils also fell on Mahiro, waiting for his answer.
"Ding! The Main quest is now available."
While Mahiro was hesitating, the cold mechanical sound of the system suddenly sounded.
Mahiro's eyes narrowed slightly, unexpectedly triggering a new mission at this time.
"The quest is being generated, please wait."
"Quest generation..."
"The quest has been generated."
Main Quest: Join the Occult Research Club.
Mission Requirements: Become a member of the Occult Research Club.
Mission Difficulty: Easy.
Mission reward: a random skill card.
Looking at the new quest, Mahiro was stunned momentarily, not expecting such a simple quest to be generated this time.
He hesitated to agree to Rias' request, but now, he doesn't need to struggle.
"Mahiro-kun, Mahiro-kun."
Seeing that Mahiro was suddenly silent after everyone waited a while, Akeno whispered, "Have you thought about it?"
Mahiro nodded, "I can agree, but I have a request."
Hearing this, Rias's eyes suddenly flashed joyfully, and she asked, "What is the request?"
"I don't have much time to participate in club activities."
Mahiro said helplessly.
"So.."
"Mahiro, in fact, the activities of the Occult Research Club are very different from ordinary club activities."
"I guessed."
Isn't this obvious?
Even if Mahiro didn't know the plot, Rias has already revealed her identity.
Can their club activities still be the same as those of an ordinary club?
The answer is obviously no.
"It's like yesterday's hunt for the stray Devil, which is just one of the club activities."
Rias explained: "And through these club activities, you also have many opportunities to improve strength."
Mahiro still shook his head.
To improve his strength, he has a system which is thousands of times more efficient than any club activity.
"If I have time, I can participate, but you can't force me to participate."
Mahiro did not refuse entirely.
"Okay, I won't force you on this."
Rias nodded. Mahiro agreeing to join the Occult Research Club was a surprise, so there was no need to push too much.
Moreover, with the relationship established through the Occult Research Club, it would be easier for Mahiro to change his perspective later.
Thinking of this, Rias couldn't help but smile.
