However, just before she completely vanished, Ravel's gaze lingered.
Her face was slightly flushed, her eyes fixed directly on Rian—not with anger or frustration, but with something else.
Something strange. Something that felt like… admiration. Silent, unspoken admiration that even she didn't seem to understand.
Rian noticed it, of course.
With the Six Eyes, there was no way he could miss such a thing. Yet instead of smirking or teasing, he simply met her gaze… and offered a calm, confident smile.
Relaxed. Self-assured. Perhaps a little flirtatious. But undeniably handsome.
Then the teleportation finished.
Silence filled the air for a moment. But one thing was certain—Riser would never forget the day his face was buried in the ground by Rian.
Moments later, Grayfia gracefully bowed her head before standing upright again.
"On behalf of the House of Gremory," she said softly but firmly, "I will report today's incident to Maou Sirzechs."
Grayfia's gaze shifted briefly toward Rian, who was still standing in the middle of the school courtyard.
"Including… your presence and actions, Mr. Andromeda. I trust you have no objections?"
Rian simply replied with a small nod, prompting Grayfia to lower her head slightly in a gesture of respect.
"Very well. Then, I shall take my leave."
A silver magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and a soft light enveloped her form.
Without another word, Grayfia vanished—leaving behind the familiar chill that always accompanied her teleportation.
"It's finally over," Rian muttered casually, as if he had just finished a slightly troublesome chore.
He pulled his sunglasses from his Void Ring and slid them back on.
With a light kick, he leapt through the shattered window and landed gracefully inside the clubroom.
The moment his feet touched the floor, his eyes shifted toward Rias and her Peerage. His tone changed slightly—firmer now, yet still carrying that relaxed, confident air that defined him.
"Alright. You all have to win," Rian said flatly but firmly. "I'm not apologizing to Riser—especially not licking his shoes."
His gaze shifted toward Gasper. "Gasper-kun, I'll be training you a bit harder. Hyoudou-kun, you're joining too."
When one of them looked like they were about to speak, Rian casually raised a hand, signaling for silence.
"Ah… one more thing," he continued calmly. "During the battle, I want every one of you to unleash your full power."
His eyes moved to Akeno and Koneko, a faint yet meaningful smile curving his lips. "Especially you, Akeno-chan… and Koneko-chan."
Rias and the others exchanged confused glances, unsure where this was going.
Meanwhile, Akeno and Koneko both narrowed their eyes—curiosity flickering in their expressions.
"Mind explaining what you mean, Rian?" Akeno asked, her voice light but her gaze sharp.
"Don't understand?" Rian tilted his head slightly. "Alright, let me be clearer."
He locked eyes with her. "Akeno-chan—your energy is mixed with that of a Fallen Angel."
Akeno fell silent. Her eyes blinked once, then narrowed sharply. The gentle softness they once held was replaced by an intense, heavy gaze.
A faint aura began to rise from her body—subtle, but unmistakable. His words had clearly touched a nerve.
But before Akeno could speak, Rian had already shifted his attention to Koneko.
"Koneko-chan… your energy is mixed too," he said calmly. "But it's different. Similar to those two Phoenix peerage devils with cat ears and tails."
Rian squinted slightly, as if reading a morning newspaper. "Were you once a youkai? Cat ears and tail… hmm. That would make you a Nekomata, right?"
His tone remained relaxed, not judgmental. Just stating a casual fact, either unaware—or perhaps fully aware—that his words were brushing against old wounds buried deep within the two girls before him.
Because of Rian's remarks, the atmosphere in the room shifted instantly. The air grew heavy—much heavier than before. Tension filled the silence, pressing down on everyone present.
On the other side, Issei and Asia exchanged confused glances. They didn't understand what was happening, but it was clear that something serious had just been touched upon.
Kiba frowned, his gaze fixed sharply on Rian—not in anger, but in confusion. His expression showed that the situation was quickly slipping out of control.
Gasper, the most sensitive to emotional tension, trembled in fear. Without thinking, the young vampire hurriedly hid behind Asia, clutching the edge of her skirt like a frightened child seeking protection.
Finally, Akeno spoke. Her voice was firm, slicing through the heavy silence that hung in the room.
"Rian Andromeda," she said evenly, though emotion clearly trembled beneath the surface. "How do you know about that?"
Rian slowly turned his gaze toward her. The soft blue glow of his eyes shimmered faintly behind his sunglasses—calm, yet somehow oppressive amid the tension.
"How do I know?" The corner of Rian's lips lifted into a small smile. "I have very sharp eyes."
Rias narrowed her eyes slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
Rian's smile didn't change—calm, confident, and just a touch playful.
"Well… it's not like I ever planned to keep it a secret," he said, folding his arms casually. "Besides, there's no harm in explaining it."
Everyone in the room frowned almost simultaneously, their expressions a mix of suspicion, confusion, and curiosity.
"Alright then, let this handsome man clarify things," Rian said, lightly tapping his chest. His tone was relaxed, yet full of confidence.
"This sharp sight of mine… it perceives all forms of energy."
He then pointed at his own eyes with his right index finger, a faint smile still curling on his lips.
"No matter how much you try to hide something—if it's connected to energy, affinity, or inherited power… I can see it."
Of course, what Rian had just revealed was only a fraction of the truth.
The Six Eyes—a power that far surpassed merely seeing energy.
Rian slowly turned his head toward her. The others followed suit. For a brief moment, the room fell silent once more.
Those eyes could perceive detail down to the atomic level, control techniques with absolute precision, and manipulate energy without losing even a fraction of efficiency.
Even his observation and analysis were nearly perfect—everything neatly stored behind that calm gaze, both soothing and terrifying at once.
But for Rian, there was no need to explain it all.
A single simple sentence about "seeing energy" was enough to turn the entire room silent—and heavy.
Rias finally let out a long sigh, the umpteenth one that day.
"Those eyes… they really are incredible."
"No wonder… they're so beautiful," she murmured, half in awe, half in disbelief.
Asia, who had been quietly watching with curiosity, finally spoke up.
"B-but… Rian-san, are you all right? I-I mean… those eyes. Do they work all the time? Because… they always look blue and… kind of glowing," she asked softly, her gentle tone full of worry—so very Asia-like.
A warm smile appeared on Rian's face.
"You really are observant, Asia-chan," he said gently. "You're right. My eyes work in real-time—every moment, every second."
He looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then continued in a relaxed, half-joking tone.
"Well, it doesn't really matter. I've gotten used to it. Don't worry."
But then, his gaze suddenly sharpened—locking onto one person. Koneko.
With a teasing tone that sent a chill down everyone's spine, Rian said, "More importantly, I suddenly feel curious about Koneko-chan's cat ears and tail."
Before Koneko could react, Rian had already moved—too fast for anyone to follow.
In an instant, he was standing right in front of the petite girl, a mischievous smile hanging on his face.
His right hand gently rested on Koneko's shoulder. Without anyone realizing it, Infinity had quietly activated.
Koneko's movements slowed drastically. She was still conscious, but her body felt heavy—as if time itself had stopped flowing properly around her. As a result, Koneko could only glare sharply at Rian.
Without breaking eye contact with Koneko, Rian spoke to the others without even turning his head. "You know, I'm also quite interested in Akeno-chan's wings."
Then, with a small, amused smirk, he added, "But for now, Nekomata Mode is far more intriguing. So… Akeno-chan, your turn will have to wait."
Rias finally sighed, rubbing her face before massaging her temples in resignation. She walked slowly toward the sofa and sat down, clearly exhausted.
"You really can change the mood whenever you like… as if flipping through a book," Rias muttered.
Akeno chuckled softly, covering her mouth with her hand, her teasing smile returning.
"You know, Rian," she said gently—her tone soft, yet carrying a subtle warning, "carelessly exposing people's secrets like that… might earn you quite a few enemies."
