Chapter 19 The Red-Haired Princess of Destruction
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
If one could simply do whatever they pleased with inhuman power just by refusing to join, Kuoh Academy¹ will be in complete chaos.
”Of course, there are benefits to joining.”
After Shinra Tsubaki finished her warning, her tone calmed down again. “Students of the Hidden Academy do not need to pay expensive tuition. The money you paid previously will be refunded to you. As long as you meet the monthly testing standards, you can stay until graduation.”
”That’s it?”
Aki thought. Tuition was indeed a large sum of money, but that alone didn’t seem very attractive.
”Of course not. There are corresponding resources based on monthly rankings, free use of certain items, posting missions, accepting missions, and so on. Someone will explain the details to you later.”
(How stingy… explaining it wouldn’t have taken that much time,) Aki grumbled inwardly.
As the Vice Student Council President, Shinra Tsubaki was naturally not responsible for such trivial matters. Besides, knowing a day early or a day late made no difference to her. Compared to explaining these things to Aki, she was more anxious to return and report to Shitori Sona. Originally, she wanted to confirm if the claim that Aki could help women improve their strength was true before deciding on the next step. However, the talent Aki had already displayed made Shinra Tsubaki feel that even if this ability was fake, he was still worth the investment.
As for the matter of the Succubus bloodline, she had completely pushed it from her mind. As the first peerage member of Shitori Sona and an abandoned daughter of an exorcist family, she knew far more than Hamazaki Reina’s group. Many years ago, during a great war, many pure-blood families among the 72 Pillars² of Demons were wiped out. To increase demon combat power, the current Beelzebub developed Evil Pieces³ to perform demon reincarnations. Whether they were humans, Fallen Angels, or Dragons, once they underwent reincarnation, they were all counted as demons. To be pedantic, they would be considered Mixed-bloods.
Since even reincarnated demons existed, was it even a question whether Aki possessed a Succubus bloodline? As for his strength increasing beyond common sense and his ability to help his partners improve… there were countless possibilities. Perhaps there was a Sacred Gear in his body, or perhaps his Talent gave him a ‘Cauldron’ constitution. The possibility of Aki having extremely high innate talent existed, of course, but it was statistically minute.
The power ceiling and level of chaos in this world far exceeded Aki’s imagination. As long as he didn’t reveal the true function of his Dual Cultivation⁴ ability, no one would think of ‘Talent Copying,’ let alone come to assassinate him. If someone did try to kill him, it was more likely to be the Victim Template⁵ at work than someone coveting his skills. Those various Yellow-haired Punks and cuckolders would want to get rid of him just to claim his women.
”Let’s leave it at that for now. Don’t forget to come to the Student Council tomorrow.”
After speaking, Shinra Tsubaki left in a hurry. Aki opened his mouth, (You could at least call someone to heal me before you leave!)
He remembered that Shitori Sona should already have a peerage member serving as a Bishop. Helpless, Aki could only endure the pain, shuffling step by step toward the infirmary. While enjoying a massage from the beautiful school doctor, Aki didn’t realize he had once again missed the chance to learn about the second function of his Dual Cultivation ability.

The next day.
Just as he stepped onto campus, every eye focused on Aki. Curiosity, jealousy, lust, malice… the mix of complex emotions made him shudder. Aki was puzzled; usually, he was only peeked at by the girls. Today felt different. The attention didn’t decrease as he moved; it intensified.
”Come with me.”
The confusion didn’t last long. Just as Aki put down his schoolbag, Shinra Tsubaki found him. “Senpai, why does it feel like everyone is looking at me today?”
Aki always felt that asking when you don’t understand is a good quality. Shinra Tsubaki looked straight ahead and whispered, “We’ll talk about it once we get to the Student Council.”
(So mysterious… what is it exactly?)
Although Aki was curious, he played the role of the ‘obedient good boy.’ Not long ago, he discovered another benefit of the Victim Template: when playing this well-behaved persona, it was not only easier to gain women’s favor but also more deceptive. Coupled with his Disguise Talent, he wouldn’t be easily seen through. Besides, being lecherous or a scumbag didn’t conflict with being ‘obedient.’ Suppressing negative impacts and fully utilizing the positive effects – avoiding being attacked while efficiently winning over girls and rapidly increasing his strength – this was the correct way to use the Victim Template.
Arriving at the Student Council Room, Aki found that besides Shitori Sona, there were two other familiar faces: Rias Gremory and her first peerage member, the Queen, Himejima Akeno.
”Student Council President, I’ve brought him,” Tsubaki said.
”Good. Tsubaki, thank you,” Sona said.
Shinra Tsubaki pulled her friend Himejima Akeno aside, leaving the space for the two ‘Kings.’
”Student Council President, and Rias-senpai, good morning,” Aki said.
Rias’s appearance caught Aki off guard. He didn’t expect to meet the Red-Haired Princess of Destruction so soon.
Among those he could reach, Rias was easily the strongest in combat power. Stealing a glance at the red-haired beauty’s surging ‘great white rabbits,’ Aki recalled her other title. As expected of the Red-Haired Princess of Magical Breasts, her chest was something even a hentai heroine could hardly match. The small glimpse of skin at her collar made Aki swallow hard. (That size… that curve… I could go ten rounds!)
”Those people weren’t entirely lying; he really is a little pervert,” Rias said with a light smile, indifferent to his gaze. Almost every male had dirty thoughts about her; Aki was just more direct. She actually found his frankness a little cute.
[Disguise + Victim Template = Special Attack against women (effect doubles for ‘Big Sister’ types)]
(I’m not ‘little.’ If you don’t believe me, try it yourself,) Aki shot back in his mind.
”Sona, give him to me. I don’t even have a single Pawn right now,” Rias said with a laugh. “Clearly, Uesugi-kun likes me more than you.”
Shitori Sona remained expressionless, pushing up her glasses. “Would you really pay such a high price for just one Pawn?”
”Who knows?” Rias said, crossing her legs and giving Aki a seductive look.
Shitori Sona changed the subject. “Who leaked the information about Uesugi?”
At the mention of business, Rias stopped smiling. As high-class pure-blood demons, they were rivals and friends in equal measure. “I’m not sure. By the time I heard it, it had already spread everywhere.”
A peerage member with this much potential was a trump card that could turn the tide. Aki’s potential was undeniable; they both knew Shinra Tsubaki wouldn’t make a mistake about something like this.

Summary:
Aki is officially invited into the Hidden Academy framework, learning about the resources and missions available to students. A leak causes his reputation (and perceived potential) to spread through Kuoh Academy, drawing the immediate attention of Rias Gremory. The chapter ends with Rias and Sona posturing over who will ultimately claim Aki for their peerage.
—
Trivia:
- Aki misses a ‘second function’ of his Dual Cultivation during his recovery, suggesting he is currently underutilizing his main cheat ability.
- Tsubaki’s background as an abandoned exorcist family daughter hints at deeper friction between human factions and the demon peerage system.
- The mention of ‘Mixed-bloods’ and ‘Evil Pieces’ establishes the flexible nature of the power system, allowing for varied character origins
—
Character Insight:
Rias and Sona’s relationship is characterized as ‘rivals and friends,’ visible in their lighthearted bickering over Aki. Aki is consciously leaning into his ‘Victim Template’ to manipulate the girls’ perception of him as harmless and obedient, which Rias finds ‘cute.’
—
Lore And Worldbuilding Context:
The 72 Pillars are established as historical pure-blood families, many of whom were lost in a past war. This led to the creation of the Evil Piece system by Beelzebub to replenish demonic forces with reincarnated beings.
—
TL Notes:
The term ‘Victim Template’ (苦主模版) is localized to reflect its roots in ‘Kuzhu’ archetypes—characters meant to be cuckolded or wronged—which the protagonist is subverting for his own benefit.
