Saeko Busujima sold herself without hesitation.
Not even a shred of doubt.
After all, he was a Devil.
The kind of Devil who casually spoke about "cleansing the surface of the Earth" as if it were nothing.
If he really wanted to do something, she wouldn't be able to resist anyway.
Taking the initiative might even leave a good impression.
To be honest, she was already surprised that the Devil was seriously discussing the details of her request with her.
Even when she made an outrageous request like "saving the world," he had actually come up with legitimate plans.
It completely shattered her preconceived concepts about Devils.
Entrusting everything to this Devil standing before her didn't feel like a bad choice. Besides, she would gain power in return.
For someone who had already lost everything, this deal was more than fair.
"I'll gladly accept everything that you are." Lynn didn't hesitate in the slightest.
Recruiting Saeko as his servant was one of his goals from the start. Since she was so cooperative, there was no reason to refuse.
He raised his hand, and a black chess piece materialized in his palm.
Saeko frowned slightly. "What is that?"
"A Devil's (Evil) Piece. Once it's inserted into your body, you'll become my servant and officially reincarnate as a Devil."
"I see."
Saeko nodded in understanding.
So…
Reincarnating as a Devil = Gaining power?
Becoming a servant = Being a subordinate?
She roughly grasped the concept.
"I understand. What do I need to do next?"
She eyed the chess piece in Lynn's hand with a complicated expression.
Did he use the word "insert"—…?
"No rush."
Lynn smiled and withdrew the chess piece. In its place, a small black lightning bolt flickered between his fingertips.
"It's a bit noisy here. Let me clear things up first."
Saeko's eyes widened as she stared at the black lightning, a chill running down her spine.
Supernatural power!
Even as an ordinary human, she could feel the sheer terror it radiated!
Lynn flicked his finger toward the hallway's end.
The corridor was crowded with countless undead, clawing their way up the stairs.
A few were already staggering toward their group.
Lynn chuckled. "Go."
The moment his words fell, he snapped his fingers.
The black lightning shot down the hallway like an untamed beast, moving at blinding speed.
Saeko instinctively tried to follow it with her eyes, but before she could fully turn her head, a deafening explosion roared through the building.
BOOM—!
The entire school trembled violently.
Shizuka stumbled, instinctively crouching by the wall. "W-what just happened?! An earthquake?!"
Saeko ignored her.
When she finally turned her gaze to the hallway, her pupils shrank.
Scattered across the floor were the charred remains of the undead.
The staircase at the end of the corridor was completely gone, replaced by a massive hole in the building.
Even now, the edges of the hole continued to sizzle and burn, gradually expanding in size.
Saeko stared in awe at the devastation left by the lightning strike.
Just a single attack had caused this level of destruction?
And…She glanced at the corridor, where the burnt husks of zombies lay motionless.
The black lightning hadn't even been aimed at them, yet it had incinerated them just by passing through.
'What terrifying power!'
Saeko's heart pounded wildly. When she looked at Lynn again, her eyes gleamed with something close to fanaticism.
Lynn retracted his hand with satisfaction.
A mere casual flick of his fingers had done all that.
If he unleashed his full power, he could likely reduce the entire academy to ash in an instant.
"Alright, it's quiet now."
Lynn used his magic to scan the area.
They were on the third floor.
Now, not a single undead remained.
And no humans, either.
The hallway was physically cut off.
If any more zombies wanted to come up, they'd have to stack themselves like a human pyramid for a while.
Hearing his words, Saeko's eyelids twitched.
The third floor was really quieter now, but…
She glanced out the window.
That deafening explosion had attracted a massive horde of undead from all directions.
Whatever, as long as the Devil was happy.
Lynn pulled out the Evil Piece again. "Now, let's begin the reincarnation ceremony."
"Yes."
Saeko straightened her posture, eyes serious.
She had no idea what the "ceremony" would involve.
How exactly was that chess piece supposed to be "inserted" into her body…?
"First step!"
Saeko listened intently.
"Take off your top."
Saeko blinked, momentarily confused.
Take off… my clothes?
She replayed the words in her head to make sure she hadn't misheard.
After a brief silence, she sighed and began undressing.
A few seconds later, holding her removed blouse, she asked, "Do I need to take off… everything?"
Lynn nodded. "Just loosen the back strap and turn around."
So that's all?
Saeko exhaled in relief.
It was still embarrassing, but at least some parts would remain covered.
Though… what exactly was the Devil going to do once she turned around?
As she shifted, she happened to glance at Shizuka, who was still huddled on the floor.
Saeko: "…"
"Sensei, the shaking is over."
"Huh?"
Shizuka blinked in confusion before noticing Saeko standing there in nothing but black Underwear.
Tilting her head, she asked, "Saeko-chan, are you feeling hot?"
'This clueless teacher… when will she finally understand the situation?'
Saeko sighed and unhooked her bra strap.
Her generous chest bounced slightly as it lost its restraint.
Lynn wasted no time, pressing the Piece against her bare back.
"Nnhhhh…"
Saeko shivered slightly, feeling her face heat up.
She was a woman, after all…
Stripping down in front of someone she had just met felt incredibly shameless.
Would the Devil think she was some kind of loose woman?
Should she have hesitated a little longer, acted a bit more reserved…?
But before she could dwell on those thoughts, the chess piece fully merged into her body.
A crisp, mechanical voice echoed in Lynn's mind.
[ Ding! You have acquired the servant 'Saeko Busujima'! ]
[ Ding! Your servant 'Saeko Busujima' has reincarnated as a special Devil—'Blade Devil'! ]
