Only after arriving at the Occult Research Club, Akeno and Rias managed to calm down a little. It had been a lot of information to process.
"Sit down, Light. I can call you that, right?" Rias asked, gesturing for him to sit down. Seeing him nod and sit, she asked, "Do you know why I called you here, Light?"
"No." Of course he knew, but he wouldn't admit it.
That answer was enough for Rias and Akeno, who was preparing tea at a distance, to understand that he was not willing to reveal on his own what he knew about their future, which he had seen in his past life or something like that.
It was not uncommon to encounter people with past lives, but the way he described things and the thoughts of his heart that had leaked so far, suggested that he came from a world parallel to theirs and that somehow in his world there were novels, manga, and animes about them.
If they followed the plot that he had seen about them, it was really possible that they would end up having that tragic end that he described. Although they did not want to believe that they would fall in love with someone like Issei Hyoudou, after understanding a bit about him and everything they investigated... When they thought about what they heard about the dragon's libido, although reluctant, they felt obliged to believe.
Resisting the urge to say that she had heard the voice of his heart, Rias said, "I know that you are aware of the supernatural world." Before he expressed surprise, or pretended to be surprised, she continued: "My friend and part of my family, Koneko, saw you fighting against a Youkai today, so there is no need to pretend."
"Mm," Felix did not disagree and listened in silence, agreeing with what she said with a nasal sound.
At that moment, Akeno had already brought the tea and served a little for both.
Rias: "Thank you, Akeno."
Felix: "Thank you."
"Fufu~ You're welcome." Akeno smiled gently and sat next to Rias shortly after.
Rias took a sip of green tea and continued: "That said, what I want to say is... I am a Devil. Not the evil kind, similar to humans in some aspects. Do you know about us?"
"Yes, I know a little." Felix nodded.
Yes, a little, just enough to know everything that would happen in the future with them and even about Rias' older brother, etc.
Rias held back the urge to roll her eyes at him and continued: "The thing is, Light. I would like to invite you to my Peerage. By accepting, you will have great benefits, as well as the longevity of a Devil."

━━━━ ≪?￢ﾉﾫ ━━━━
'Huh?' A question mark formed in his mind. He definitely was not expecting that.
Felix started to ponder.
Rias and Akeno remained silent, letting him think about it.
From the conversation they had, Rias had a vague idea of Felix's strength. From what she heard from him, Light has the strength of at least a middle-class Devil. If he is turned into a Devil by her... Along with the power of the purple lightning and peculiar light that Koneko mentioned, he might be able to help her cancel her engagement with Riser...
"I can accept, but I have some demands," Felix said, some time later.
"Oh, I'm listening." Rias' eyes sparkled, but she contained her emotions. She didn't want to scare him by seeming too eager.
Akeno also raised an eyebrow gracefully, and a smile of interest drew on her lips.
"By being part of your Peerage, I hope you give me the maximum possible freedom," Felix said calmly. "I do not want to be prevented from doing something or being controlled by someone. Although I am particularly interested in the longevity of Devils and the benefits you will be giving me are good, I value my privacy. Also, I must warn that, in terms of strength and attack power, I am at the same rank as a high-class Devil."
"So strong?" Rias took a deep breath.
Even she was not confident to assert that. Although she is a high-class Devil, it does not necessarily mean that she has the fighting power of high-class Devils.
Akeno became even more interested after hearing what he said. After all, how old was he? 16 years old! Moreover, we are talking about a boy who is still human!
"Is that all?" Rias asked, a little uneasy.
"Yes, that's all," Felix nodded, after thinking a little more.
"Before accepting your terms, let me say," Rias spoke slowly, "if I need your help, are you willing to listen to me?"
"As long as I am not in a situation where I am busy, it's fine. Preferably, I hope you let me know beforehand," Felix replied.
"That is acceptable," Rias nodded and continued, "another thing, if you agree, I hope you do not create problems and do something that will harm my reputation. If you agree with that, we can start now."
"That's fine by me," Felix saw no problem.
"Great," Rias finally smiled dazzlingly. She had a fascinating look and smile.
Even though Felix had already seen his share of beauty in his three lives, he was still fascinated by her smile.
'Well, it won't be long before I increase my strength even more. Then, I can stop being part of the Peerage whenever I want,' Felix mainly reflected on this.
For now, it was not disadvantageous for him. Honestly, there was no reason to refuse since she agreed to his request. As for helping her in place of Issei Hyoudou, he was willing. This can also end up benefiting him, especially because she has an incredible 800 points of Fortune.
Possibly it would be stolen by Issei the moment she started interacting with him. But, as he hasn't had that chance yet, her Fortune is very high.
Even Akeno has high fortune, with 500 points of Fortune.
"Before we start, can you tell me more about your strength?" Rias asked: "To make you reincarnate as a Devil, it is necessary to use my chess pieces..."
After hearing the entire explanation given by her without interrupting, Felix told her about his own strength. He himself understood that it was necessary since she needed to know which piece to use.
After finding out that he possessed the power of purple lightning, in addition to a Sacred Gear, the "Shield of Dawn", and that the "Light Ferry" was a power belonging to the descendants of the Amakawa Family, passed down from generation to generation by the male members of the family, Rias was impressed. She had already heard of the Amakawa Family, as it was very famous, even in the demon world.
The "Light Ferry" allows its users to imbue objects with light-based energy, transforming them into powerful melee weapons with strength equivalent to a legendary blade. The power can also be used as a shield to defend the user from dangers, enhance their physical senses, and seal magical powers.
"You practically have a power and a Sacred Gear that combine perfectly. It's as if they were made for each other..." Rias had trouble breathing.
Light turned out to be stronger than she had estimated at first. His past was even more remarkable than she had imagined.
Akeno, by the side, nodded in agreement. She didn't even feel like playing at the moment. She looked at Light from a new perspective.
"Ara ara. It's no wonder your name is Light, I presume," Akeno said, with a soft tone of voice and a slight smile, which was typical of her calm personality, but also concealed a certain mischief and cunning.
"I think I am right in saying that just one piece will not be enough to reincarnate you as a Devil," Rias said in a thoughtful and analytical tone: "I think I will have to use a Bishop and a Rook. I might even need more pieces."
Felix, upon hearing this, said, "Can we start now?"
"Sure, no matter how many pieces I have to spend, you will be part of my Peerage!" Rias' tone was resolute and determined.
Felix just smiled.
They got up and Rias took the pieces she intended to imbue in Felix. She started using the Rook piece, focusing her energy on it before transferring it to Felix. However, it soon became clear that it would not be enough, so she also used the Bishop piece.
As Rias used the pieces, an extraordinary phenomenon began to occur during Felix's reincarnation as a Devil. The pieces, as they fused with him, underwent a mutation, transforming into a 'Magic Tower'. It was as if the pieces were adapting and evolving to accommodate Felix's unique strength and abilities.
A bright divine light shines like colored rays, rising to the sky, penetrating the heavens and the earth, spreading in all directions.
The majestic aura is like a vast ocean, continuous and endless, sweeping in all directions, stirring terrible waves and creating suffocating pressure. Many students who had not yet left the school felt palpitations, their heads exploded as if they had been torn apart by some force. Their bodies felt heavy, as if filled with lead, unable to move.
Rias and Akeno watched the phenomenon unfold before their eyes, a mixture of surprise and fascination on their faces.
"This is similar to what happened with Gasper," Rias murmured, her eyes shining with a mixture of shock and admiration, as she remembered another rare and unusual occasion when something similar had happened: "No, it's superior to Gasper!"
Akeno, by her side, nodded in agreement, sharing Rias' feelings.
━━━━ ≪?￢ﾉﾫ ━━━━
[Congratulations! You have become part of Rias Gremory's Peerage, successfully taking the place of Issei Hyoudou. You received 300 Fortune Valor Points and 1500 Destiny Points.]
━━━━ ≪?￢ﾉﾫ ━━━━
'Wonderful!' Light, opening his eyes, felt a new energy pulsing in his veins. A pair of wings extended behind him, representing his transformation into a demon. He couldn't help but smile, impressed by the sensation of power flowing throughout his body. It was as if a new life had been infused into him, one he was eager to explore.
"Light, how are you feeling?" Rias asked cautiously. After all, he just made the pieces undergo a mutation, and she was worried that it might have some adverse effect on him.
Akeno also showed her concern, her voice soft and caring: "Are you feeling tired? It's better to sit down a bit, Light-kun. You too, Rias."
"I'm fine. No, I actually feel great. It's you who must be tired, Rias... Kaichou." Light said with a touch of kindness and concern in his voice. He noticed that Rias' skin had lost some of its vibrant color. She must have spent a significant amount of energy reincarnating him as a Devil.
"Just call me Rias or Rias-kaichou if you prefer." She said with a nod, admitting her exhaustion: "I am actually a bit tired." Rias offered a weak smile, grateful for his concern. Akeno, sensing her friend's need, helped Rias to sit down and took a fan to gently fan her: "Thank you, Akeno."
"Fufu~ you're welcome." Akeno responded with a soft smile and a light laugh.
Light, although not particularly tired, chose to sit down as well. There was a lot to absorb and consider the new reality he found himself in. After trying a few times, he managed to retract his wings and sat down.
With just a thought, the Attribute Panel appeared before his eyes, ready to be analyzed.

'3,650 Destiny Points. Even my Fortune has reached an absurd level...' Light felt the urge to laugh uncontrollably again, especially upon realizing that he had become at least three times stronger than before. Moreover, although he was a bit disappointed as he thought he would gain some kind of mystic ability in the process, he realized that his own abilities had a qualitative increase. Despite not testing yet, his senses told him it improved by at least 50%.
Besides, for some inexplicable reason, he felt more comfortable with the name Light after being reincarnated as a Devil.
Although visibly exhausted, the smile of pride on Rias' face was undeniable. The sight of Light, now more powerful and imposing, was particularly gratifying for her.
'Now, I want to see if they can force me to marry that bastard Riser Phoenix!' She thought, with cold and resolute determination.
Rias had already talked to her older brother before, and although he didn't say it directly, she understood between the lines that if she won against Riser in a Rating Game, she would be able to break off her engagement.
{Sigh~ I feel like I've become three times more powerful now. Somehow, I expected to get stronger by reincarnating as a Devil by Rias Gremory, but this still surprises me. Besides, I haven't even seen how I look with Devil wings... Anyway, I hope she fulfills her part of the agreement. If she does, I will be willing to help her, even break her engagement agreement with Riser Phoenix if she wishes.}
These thoughts crossed Light's mind as he considered the future and the implications of his new reality. Beside him, Rias and Akeno raised an eyebrow upon hearing Light's heart's voice.
