High School DxD: “The future Harem King”

As Su Hai returned to his seat, he suddenly noticed something shining brightly above Himejima Akeno and Rias Gremory's heads.

It was a golden egg—each one glowing intensely.

However, there was something different about them. Each golden egg had three shining stars on it.

"So the golden eggs have levels too?" Su Hai muttered to himself.

The more stars a golden egg had, the higher its level—which meant a greater chance of obtaining something valuable.

But what caught Su Hai's attention the most was that each golden egg had an activation condition clearly written on it.

To obtain Akeno Himejima's golden egg, he had to place his hand on her head and keep it there for one second.

As for Rias Gremory?

Her condition was even more outrageous—Su Hai had to confess his feelings to her!

('Δ')!

Su Hai almost spat out blood upon reading the requirement.

"You've got to be kidding me… Confess to Rias Gremory?!"

Both Himejima Akeno and Rias Gremory were high-ranking devils. Even in this power-scaled world, they were considered formidable figures.

If he randomly touched Akeno's head, the consequences were predictable.

Su Hai sighed.

"Well… fortune favors the bold, right? What's the worst that could happen? Am I really scared of two women today? (?ˇ?ˇ?)"

However, he also understood one thing—a war was coming. If he didn't gain enough strength, he might end up as mere cannon fodder, dying in a battle he wasn't even part of.

Either way, he was taking a risk.

So, why not go for it?

With this thought, Su Hai made his decision.

Slowly, he stretched out his sinful hand toward Himejima Akeno, who was sitting right in front of him.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Breath of Thunder and a Nichirin Blade!"

The moment Su Hai's fingertips made contact with Akeno's head and paused there for one second, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

A rush of memories and sensations flooded his consciousness.

He suddenly felt like he had trained in the Breath of Thunder for over ten years!

His body felt stronger—multiple times tougher than before.

In his system inventory, he now possessed a golden Nichirin blade, radiating an intense sunlight-like glow.

A wide, uncontrollable smile formed on Su Hai's face.

But just as he was about to celebrate—

"Su Hai-kun… although I don't mind, you're acting quite bold, aren't you?"

The smile on Su Hai's face instantly froze.

His entire expression stiffened.

Because in his excitement, he had forgotten to remove his hand from Akeno's head!

Slowly, Himejima Akeno turned her head.

Her sharp eyes squinted, and a mischievous smile curved on her lips.

"Pervert~"

"Idiot."

"Disgrace to society?"

The entire classroom fell silent.

All the students—including the teacher—had just witnessed Su Hai stroking Himejima Akeno's head in broad daylight.

To make matters worse, Akeno Himejima was one of the most popular girls in Kuoh Academy—second only to Rias Gremory.

In an instant, Su Hai became the class pervert, the shameless perv who violated one of the school's idols.

"That bastard actually touched Himejima-senpai's head?!"

"Damn! I wish I had the courage to do that…"

Meanwhile, Rias Gremory, who was sitting beside them, was watching the situation with an amused expression.

Su Hai forced a nervous smile and quickly pulled back his hand.

"Himejima-senpai… would you believe me if I said it was an accident?"

His voice was filled with regret.

"Since Su Hai-kun says so, I'll let it go this time~" Akeno said with a gentle tone, but her eyes remained dangerously narrowed.

"But if there's a next time… you'll be punished~"

She smiled sweetly, then turned back to her seat.

Even though she looked calm, Su Hai felt a terrifying pressure lingering in the air.

"Yup… people who squint their eyes when they smile are scary as hell."

Even though Akeno spoke kindly, Su Hai couldn't shake the feeling that he had just barely escaped from a ferocious beast.

Confessing to Rias Gremory

After school ended, Rias and Akeno left the classroom together, heading toward the old campus building, where they usually held their occult club meetings.

But just as they arrived, Rias suddenly turned around.

Her blue eyes sharpened, and she spoke in a calm yet chilling tone:

"Su Hai-kun… why are you following us?"

Akeno stood beside her, smiling as usual—but her gaze also carried a hint of coldness.

"…Shit, I got caught."

Su Hai had been following them from school, intending to activate Rias' golden egg by fulfilling its requirement—confessing to her.

But even though his physical strength had increased, he was still far weaker than these two high-ranking devils.

They had noticed him immediately.

With no way out, Su Hai took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Rias-san, I like you! Please go out with me!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host! Mission completed! You have obtained Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory!"

The moment Su Hai finished his confession, a golden-bladed sword suddenly materialized inside his system inventory—a legendary holy sword from another world.

Rias was stunned for a brief moment.

Then, her expression darkened slightly as if she had thought of something.

Meanwhile, Akeno laughed softly beside her.

"Ara ara~ It seems that Rias is really popular."

Then, she pouted playfully, placing a hand on her cheek.

"But I feel sad now~ I thought Su Hai-kun liked me more, after what he did to me today. (?o?????o?????)"

Su Hai winced, remembering the scene in class earlier, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Fortunately, Rias quickly regained her composure.

She looked at Su Hai and spoke calmly yet apologetically:

"Su Hai-kun, thank you for your feelings… but for certain reasons, we are not suitable for each other."

In Rias' eyes, Su Hai was still just an ordinary human.

And besides—she already had an arranged marriage contract.

Even if she didn't, a relationship with a normal human was out of the question.

In this world, strength and status determined everything.

Su Hai clenched his fists slightly.

"Not for long…"
