Chapter 992 Negotiation

The next morning, Duanmu Huai came to the school and found the mysticism laboratory in the old school building according to Rias's request.

"Hello, teacher."

When Duanmu Huai walked into the mysticism laboratory, Rias was already waiting for him.

And it was not just Rias who was waiting for him.

Standing next to Rias was a girl with a high ponytail and a smile like Yamato Nadeshiko, Himejima Akeno. Sitting on the sofa, eating snacks in small bites, was a petite girl with short white hair like a junior high school student, Tashiro Kitty, and sitting on the other side was a handsome and elegant blond boy, Kiba Yuto...

Well, they are all well-known figures in the school.

As a teacher, Duanmu Huai must remember the names of his students. These people actually took his classes, but Duanmu Huai didn't pay too much attention to them at the time.

Since they are here, it means...

"Are you all demons?"

"That's right."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Rias nodded, and then the others stood up. Then Duanmu Huai saw a pair of bat-like wings spread out behind them... Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai just narrowed his eyes and then retracted his gaze.

"This is really interesting... Well, now you can tell me what you want me to do, classmate Gremory."

"Just call me Rias, teacher."

And Rias sat back in the chair and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"To be honest, although I have always felt the breath emanating from the teacher, I didn't expect that the artifact residing in the teacher would be so powerful... ..."

"... ..."

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything. He could guess why the other party thought so. The reason is very simple. Duanmu Huai is a real god, and he naturally has the breath of God. Of course, for ordinary people, whether human, angel, fallen angel or demon, it is probably impossible to imagine the existence of a god personally descending to the world. Therefore, whether it is the fallen angel who attacked him yesterday or Rias now, they all instinctively believe that there is a divine weapon in their body, so there is such a breath.

Hmm... a wonderful misunderstanding, but Duanmu Huai does not intend to clarify it.

"But teacher, do you know that your current situation is not good."

At this point, Rias's expression became serious.

"You attacked the members of the fallen angel family in the church and killed them all... This will naturally cause hostility from the fallen angels. I think they will probably attack you next. I don't think you want to live in the pursuit of fallen angels all day long."

To be honest, I don't mind it too much.

Duanmu Huai's expression did not change, but he didn't care in his heart. It's just a fight, it's an old habit. But he guessed that what Rias said was just the beginning, and the next part was the meat of the show.

Sure enough, Rias changed her tone.

"But there is a way to help the teacher solve this problem."

"What is it?"

"It's very simple."

Rias looked at Duanmu Huai and said with a smile.

"As long as the teacher is reincarnated as my demon follower, our Gremory family is still a little famous. As long as the teacher becomes my demon follower, it will be difficult for the fallen angels or other forces to attack the teacher. Because in that case, they are equivalent to going to war with the Gremory family..."

"Then what do you want to get?"

Until then, Duanmu Huai looked at Rias and asked.

"Since you want to win me over in this way, you must have some intentions."

"Of course."

Rias was not embarrassed at all by Duanmu Huai's words, but nodded very calmly.

"I'm impressed by your strength, teacher. Although I don't know what kind of divine weapon you have, its power is enough to impress people. If I can recruit you to join my camp, it will be a trump card for me. I need your strength, so I am willing to give you shelter... How about it? Teacher, I think this is a good deal."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Rias's proposal, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at Rias.

"You said you are demons, so will you kill people?"

"Maybe the demons in the past were like this, but now the times have changed."

Rias shook her head.

"Of course, I don't deny that there are still some stray demons who like to eat people and kill people, but for most demons, since the war with angels and fallen angels ended and peace relations were concluded, this kind of thing has no longer been done. What we are doing now is just to help humans achieve their wishes to a certain extent."

"Achieve their wishes? For example, rule the world?"

"Of course it won't be so exaggerated."

Rias smiled bitterly.

"The principle of equivalent exchange is universal everywhere. If an ordinary person wants to rule the world, he cannot do it even if he sacrifices his soul. Similarly, if a person wants to become the richest man in the world, he may die the moment he gets the money. We will all be informed of this. Of course, generally speaking, everyone's wishes are just some trivial things in life, and they do not involve crimes or life-threatening situations."

"Hmm......"

After listening to Rias' explanation, Duanmu Huai was silent for a moment.

"I have to admit that your proposal is very good, but... I refuse."

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, not only Rias was surprised, but even Himejima Akeno and others behind her also showed surprised expressions.

"Why? Teacher?"

"First, I am a human being, and I only fight for humans. If I become a demon, I will serve you. But I'm sorry, I don't plan to do that."

Duanmu Huai said, shaking his head.

"I will always act only from the perspective of humans, so I will not join the demon camp. Indeed, fallen angels may be a trouble, but as long as they are not afraid of death, they can come! I will kill as many as they come, I want to see if there are so many of them for me to kill!"

At this point, Duanmu Huai also showed a hint of murderous intent, but soon restrained it. Then, Duanmu Huai looked at Rias and nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness, Rias, but I can't agree to it."

"Okay, I understand..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Rias nodded somewhat disappointedly, but soon she looked at Duanmu Huai and asked curiously.

"What about the second point?"

"Hmm?"

"Teacher, you just said only the first point, is there anything else?"

"Of course."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai laughed.

"I am a teacher after all. If a teacher gets into trouble, it is absolutely unreasonable for students to help clean up the mess. So I will solve this matter myself, and you don't have to worry about it. Then, I will take my leave."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai nodded to everyone, then turned and walked out of the room——Then he seemed to think of something, turned around, and looked at Rias again.

"Oh, by the way, Rias. I must say this first. I will fight for humanity, so I will not let go of any existence that tries to harm humanity. No matter if it is an angel, a fallen angel, or a demon. Or a god, a demon king, no matter what, as long as they dare to harm humanity, they will only have one way to go... Do you understand what I mean?"

"……………………"

Facing Duanmu Huai's scrutinizing gaze, Rias took a deep breath and nodded.

"Of course, teacher, I understand."

"That's good."

Duanmu Huai said nothing more and retracted his gaze.

"I hope you don't forget this."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned and left, and the door of the mysticism laboratory was heavily closed behind him.

"……………………"

Until then, the tense atmosphere in the mysticism laboratory slowly relaxed.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Duanmu actually had such a side..."

Kiba silently reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is he really a human?"

It's no wonder that Kiba would have such doubts. Everyone here is a demon and has experienced some battles. But the sense of oppression exuded by Duanmu Huai when he spoke just now almost made them forget to breathe. Even if the demon king appeared in front of them, he probably couldn't bring such a sense of oppression.

Although Duanmu Huai has always been serious and serious in school, everyone is afraid of him.

But...this is far beyond the level of fear!

"What a pity..."

Rias sighed silently. She really hoped to win Duanmu Huai to her camp. But the other party stated that he wanted to stand on the side of humans rather than demons...Although in Rias's opinion, this is not a big problem, but Duanmu Huai seems to have his own ideas.

"Minister, are you going to give up?"

"No."

However, Duanmu Huai's refusal triggered Rias's fighting spirit.

"I have decided that I must pull him into the mysticism laboratory!"

"But Minister..."

Hearing Rias's aggressive speech, Kiba shook his head.

"Look at Mr. Duanmu, he doesn't want to transform into a demon."

"That's not a problem."

Rias shook her head.

In fact, Rias had long been interested in Duanmu Huai's strength. You know, the strength of the fallen angel yesterday was not weak at all, but Duanmu Huai was able to kill him easily. Not only that, even the fallen angel's subordinates were wiped out by him alone. Such combat power, even his own followers can't do it! And from his speech just now, Rias also found that Duanmu Huai is a very principled person, and if such a person becomes a companion, then he must be the strongest helper!

"Look at me, I won't give up so easily!"
