=========================================
Something seems off here.
What exactly is wrong?
However, having more potent magic is always a good thing. Badr was eager to enhance his magic power. He quickly calmed down and started guiding his magic to transform and strengthen his body.
Whoosh!!
Under the gaze of Sakurajima Mai, a pair of black Devil wings suddenly spread open behind Badr.
A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere in the room, and Badr's body began to levitate as if gravity had lost its hold on him.
At this moment, Badr's consciousness had already sunk into that particular mental space.
In front of Badr, the black giant city where the legendary weapon, The Benevolent King's Sword and Shield, once again appeared!
Just a moment ago, he felt summoned; his consciousness appeared here out of nowhere. He felt the giant city excited as if it wanted to enter the world immediately.
Badr had an epiphany and immediately used his magic, attempting to connect his magic to the black giant city.
The next moment, Badr felt his magic rush into the black giant city as if a floodgate had opened!
Boom!!!
The bronze bell hanging on the watchtower of the city wall suddenly let out a majestic sound.
The sound of the bell echoed, and the entire black giant city shook violently at that moment!
Immediately, Badr felt a vast impact reverberating within the city.
Startled, Badr quickly suppressed the impact, preventing it from spreading. Neutralizing the tremendous destructive force took a lot of effort.
After a brief moment, Badr found that his magic had been nearly exhausted, and he had no choice but to stop the magic supply.
He understood now; he could indeed control the giant city, but with his current strength, he could only barely manage it...
He wondered what the relationship between this black giant city and the Benevolent King's Sword and Shield was...
Badr opened his eyes, and the contract price had been fully converted, which made him very happy.
The effect of this contract was potent. In the future, he could continuously improve himself through Sakurajima Mai's contract.
Once he reached a certain level of power, he could go through Rias to seek a title from Satan, advance to a High-Class Devil, and gain even more formidable power.
"Did it succeed?"
Sakurajima Mai asked with a smile, as she could also feel the natural connection between her and Badr.
"Yes, if you need anything in the future, you can summon me directly through the contract." Badr was in a good mood after signing the contract.
After experiencing the wonder of the contract, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but marvel;
Having a Devil boyfriend who is always at her beck and call felt lovely...
At this moment, Mai's phone suddenly rang.
Taking out her phone, the girl's expression immediately darkened.
Badr glanced over and saw that the caller was her manager.
Which was also Mai's mother...
Recalling the incident where Mai's mother forgot about her daughter, Badr didn't know what to say.
The relationship between this mother and daughter was quite a headache...
"Not going to answer it?"
After a moment of hesitation, Badr gently reminded, "Some things are better said openly, aren't they?"
Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai's expression shifted slightly.
Badr held Mai's hand and smiled, "It's getting late; I need to get back to school. I'll leave you to talk with your mother. If you need me, summon me through the contract."
Sakurajima Mai took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
Only then did Badr satisfactorily smile, let go of Mai's hand, and walk towards the door. He glanced back inside, seeing that the girl had already answered the phone. He smiled and gently closed the door behind him.
Leaving Sakurajima Mai's house, Badr breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally signed his first contract and could now share the good news with Rias and the others...
Speaking of which, he skipped his morning classes today. He wondered if Rias had excused him...
Thinking about this, Badr walked towards the bus stop, unable to help but sigh inwardly.
...When will I be able to use teleportation?
Clearly, as a Devil, he couldn't fly or teleport, and he still had to ride a bike or squeeze into a bus. It was pretty frustrating...
---
When Badr returned to Kuoh Academy, it was almost noon. He headed straight to the clubroom.
After waiting a while, Rias came in with Himejima Akeno and Koneko Toujou.
"Ah, you're back already?" Akeno greeted with a smile.
"Just got back." Badr smiled and nodded, then looked at Rias. "President, I successfully signed the contract."
Rias chuckled, "I already know. I've been keeping an eye on you."
"Oh?"
"After all, you signed a faith contract with that famous star. It shows that she trusts you and is extremely satisfied with you."
Rias eyes were full of praise.
Koneko also expressed her admiration: "Signing a faith contract on your first try, Badr, you're amazing."
Badr was puzzled, "What's a faith contract?"
"Oh my, it seems you don't know yet..." Akeno smiled, "Contracts between Devils and humans are usually ordinary contracts. The compensation we Devils receive from those contracts is relatively weak."
Rias continued with a smile:
"That's right. Only a few humans with a very close relationship with Devils can sign a faith contract! The compensation from such a contract can greatly enhance a Devil's power!"
After speaking, Rias smiled warmly at Badr, "I think you should have already experienced the benefits of a faith contract, right?"
Badr suddenly understood.
No wonder the increase in his magic power far exceeded his expectations after he tried to collect the compensation. It turned out to be because of the so-called faith contract.
He couldn't help but be intrigued and quickly asked, "How can I sign such a faith contract?"
"Haha, this kind of contract is tough to achieve because it requires the contract partner to be extremely loyal and dependent on you. But humans are usually hard to satisfy and inconsistent."
Akeno poured cold water on Badr but smiled and said, "However, it's already imposing that you accidentally signed a faith contract. So you must work hard to maintain this trust!"
"I understand." Badr nodded lightly, not overly discouraged.
As long as he knew the prerequisites, it was just a matter of fate whether he could achieve them.
Rias sat on the sofa, squinting her eyes lazily:
"Since Badr has successfully signed a contract, it's time to prepare for finding a familiar. The Student Council might cause some trouble."
"What happened?" Badr raised an eyebrow and asked softly.
Concerning his familiarity, he was naturally very attentive.
Akeno then explained the situation to Badr:
"Sona Sitri is a High-Class Devil like Rias and our school's Student Council president. Recently, she also found a new 'Pawn,' so she is also going to the familiar forest."
The Student Council President?
Badr recalled that Rias had informed the Student Council when she transferred him to the club.
It seemed their relationship wasn't bad, right?
Why did Rias look a bit troubled?
"...Will there be competition?"
"Of course, there are only so many good familiars in the familiar forest. If you want the best, they naturally won't be willing to let us take them easily."
Rias shrugged, "So, about the familiars, Sona and I agreed to have a competition this Friday to decide who gets to enter the familiar forest first."
A competition...
Badr's eyes narrowed, "Are we going to play a 'Rating Game'?"
"No, no, it's not to the extent of a 'Rating Game,' just some simple matches like tennis or long-distance running."
Rias explained, but despite this, Badr could still see the strong fighting spirit in Rias eyes.
It seemed she was already raring to go...
...Alright, as long as she's happy.
Badr found it amusing and thought competing in sports should be no problem.
It seems that the Devils are pretty friendly with each other...
After the break, when the afternoon classes ended, it was time for the club members to go to work.
Rias was taking a bath in the clubroom, and the thin curtain couldn't cover her alluring body.
Outside, Akeno held Rias clothes and waited while Koneko sat on the sofa.
Badr pushed the door open and came in, bringing some snacks for Koneko.
"Thank you..."
Koneko took it, showing a hint of happiness on her face. Badr knew she loved snacks, so he bought her some.
"Badr, are you here?" Rias called out from the bathroom.
"It's me. Do you need anything, President?" Badr responded, looking towards the bathroom.
He could see Rias standing under the showerhead through the thin curtain, her alluring figure fully visible.
Admiring her perfect curves, Badr felt that her body was indeed impeccable.
Rias didn't mind exposing herself to Badr's view. She put on a bathrobe, pulled her wet red hair behind her, tied the belt of her robe loosely, and walked out barefoot.
"Help me dry my hair."
She sat in front of Badr, back facing him.
Badr took the hairdryer handed by Akeno and began to dry Rias long red hair, smelling the refreshing fragrance from her.
Rias leaned comfortably against Badr and said softly:
"Koneko has received two commissions today. Can you help with one?"
Badr nodded lightly, "Of course."
"Then go and discuss the details with Koneko later."
After hearing Rias words, Koneko also thanked Badr.
Badr sighed inwardly, thinking that even Koneko had more contracts than she could handle...
It seemed he needed to find more contract partners as well...
Upon understanding the wishes of Koneko's contract partner, he found that the wish was to play games together.
This made Badr feel a bit unbalanced...
Her contract partner's wish was too simple; Koneko only needed to play games to sign a contract.
Thinking about how he had run around for several days before finally succeeding, Badr couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.
