After the intense confrontation between Light and Lala, Akeno couldn't hide her fascination with the power displayed.

Light, noticing her interest, proposed a deal: in exchange for an unspecified favor in the future, he would share his knowledge with her, committing to 200 days of intense training in the special training room.

Akeno's response was immediate. Without setting conditions or expressing any moral reservations, she accepted Light's offer.

With everyone's attention on them, Light and Akeno activated the Advanced Training Card. In the blink of an eye, they were transported to a dimension where time bent to their will. To the observers, it seemed like mere moments, but in reality, the two were immersed in training that lasted more than a hundred days.

When they emerged, Akeno's aura was different: stronger, more magnetic. Her gaze at Light was charged with intensity, a mix of admiration and a silent challenge, with misty eyes and a seductive look as if she wanted to keep being intimidated by him, and... they seemed to say: 'There's so much more you can show me...'

Rias, ever observant, noticed the change in Akeno and raised an eyebrow in curiosity. However, what truly caught her off guard was Akeno's significant power increase, which reminded her of when Koneko trained with Kuroka, evoking a sense of déjà vu.

Akeno's fervent combat readiness was noticeably more evident. There was a fire in her eyes that hinted at a new level of battle proficiency.

It was undeniable that training with Light, a veteran in confrontations, played a key role in this transformation. Akeno's change wasn't just mastering a new technique; it was as if she had undergone a rite of passage.

With an inquisitive look, Rias asked, "Akeno, can you now use Light's Railgun?"

With a determined tone, tinged with mischief, Akeno confirmed, "Yes, buchou!"

Rias, recalling the devastating power of the Railgun when Light used it against Lala, felt a mix of pride and satisfaction for Akeno. With an encouraging smile, she exclaimed, "Impressive!"

With a mischievous smile and a malicious twinkle in her eyes, Akeno thanked, "Fufu~ Thank you, Rias."

━━━━ ≪?￢ﾉﾫ ━━━━

"Light, can we frequent your house more regularly?" Rias inquired.

That night, they were going to stay at Light's residence. Faced with her query...

Light stated, "Certainly, I don't see why not."

After all, the more they stayed by his side, the more comfort and protection they felt in his company.

Another point is that as someone spends more time near him, his aura works to repair that individual's physical and psychological imperfections, such as injuries, traumas, or emotional impasses. This same aura can enhance the magical or physical strength of the individual, refining their abilities and making them more assertive.

The effects of the aura had already begun to manifest in Lala and Himari. It's no wonder they wish to be around him often. Though this isn't the only reason, this influence is undeniably present.

Even if his aura doesn't manipulate minds like a dragon's, it acts benevolently, benefiting those near him. Isn't that the ideal combination?

Evidently, he also benefits from this. The performance of the training with Akeno improved by just over 25% compared to solitary training sessions.

[To enhance the body: 1,845 Destiny points. For power: 2,080 Destiny points.]

It was evident that, despite spending 200 points to access the training room, the return on that training investment was significantly higher.

Certainly, other aspects contributed to this gain, but undoubtedly, he had more to gain than lose.

'Should I invite Lala and Himari to the training room?' Light pondered.

It really didn't seem like a bad idea, as it might somehow earn him extra points with them.

"Oh, I see you're in good company today, fiancé-master."

While Light was deep in thought, Zastin appeared out of nowhere, as usual.

Light replied, "Ah, yes, they are..."

After a brief introduction, everyone's perception of Zastin shifted.

As Lala's personal bodyguard and the main swordsman of Deviluke, Zastin certainly had great skill.

"Zastin-san, I'd like to propose a friendly duel between us if you're willing." Kiba suggested with a serious demeanor.

If Zastin was indeed a master in the art of fencing, he wished to learn from him.

"Oh, young man, that's fine by me." Zastin responded quite cordially and open-mindedly. As it was a request from Light's friend, it was clear he would be receptive.

"Thank you very much." Kiba gave a slight bow in gratitude.

'Indeed, Light is surrounded by talented individuals...' Rias pondered. She even imagined that as soon as Light was promoted to King, he would already have all the members chosen for his future peerage.

However, she found it peculiar that Light had suggested she seek out Megumi Kato. Was there a hidden reason? Did he intend for her to recruit Kato and then try to sway her to his side?

She didn't rule out such a possibility...

Megumi had agreed to be part of Rias's group mainly because of Light, and Rias was aware of this. A slight headache began to plague her.

Oblivious to Rias's thoughts, Light announced, "Make yourselves at home; I'll step out for a moment."

"Light, where are you going? Can I accompany you?" Lala inquired.

"I'll be back soon; wait here with the others, alright?" Light responded.

"Of course!" Lala agreed. She had a natural curiosity and was keen to learn about the powers of some present, fueling her imagination for future experiments...

"Young master..." Himari wished to accompany him, but she thought that if even Lala had been advised to stay, she would likely receive the same response.

"I'll be back shortly, Himari. Wait for me," Light assured.

"Alright, be careful out there, young master." Himari expressed her concern and wished him well as they parted.

"I will." With a wave, Light departed. He ascended with a pair of wings that originally possessed a demonic nature, but after being enchanted, they became more magnificent than any wings, emitting bright beams reminiscent of golden sunrays.

Although the others remained oblivious to Light's destination, since he chose not to reveal where he was headed, he had already covered a considerable distance.

Even if they wished to follow him, with wings strengthened by his power, it was nearly impossible to catch up.

"He seems ever more enigmatic..." Rias commented in a low voice.

Akeno, by her side, let out a soft chuckle, her eyes closing, revealing a serene expression.

"Akeno, tell me, how was your experience training with Light?" Rias knew she couldn't get much information from Light, but perhaps she could learn something from her loyal queen, who had spent several days training with him in the special room.

"Ara, ara, Rias. It was just intense days of training, nothing more," Akeno replied, maintaining her calm.

"Really?" Rias felt a growing skepticism within her.

"As genuine as a diamond," Akeno countered with a teasing glance.

"... I see." Rias chose not to press further on the topic.

Akeno laughed softly. Though not intentionally hiding any secrets, she felt certain details should only be shared in a more intimate setting, away from prying eyes and ears.

It was undeniable that her power had grown. She now felt she held an entirely new mastery over her abilities. While she already had notable control as a Queen under Rias Gremory's leadership before, there was still room for refinement. The ability to manipulate magnetic fields not only enabled her to use the Railgun...

Regarding the extended training under Light's guidance and supervision, it was an experience she could hardly summarize in mere words.

Disbelief dominated Light's eyes as he confronted what he saw.

Light approached with the intention to understand if Misa could hear his inner voice, just like the protagonists. However, when he saw her up close, a sudden system notification appeared, presenting him with an unexpected mission. It wasn't just the mission that caught him off guard, but its content.

It was something he could never have predicted: Misa Amane had traveled back in time.
