High School DxD: Lustful Ascension

As thoughts raced through his mind, Qingqiu came up with a barely plausible explanation.

He deliberately put on a shy smile and, stammering, said, "Actually... I think I might have a succubus bloodline."

The three girls were momentarily surprised, then gestured for Qingqiu to continue.

Indeed, in this world, not only were they all having their first experiences, but they were also aware of the existence of the inner world, and were even students of the academy themselves.

This explained why that little yellow-haired guy was their subordinate.

Qingqiu, learning on the spot, silently activated the Insightful Eye, observing while considering how to make his story more believable.

Huh? What is that blue stuff?

Using the Insightful Eye to its fullest, Qingqiu unexpectedly noticed a blue energy flowing within the bodies of Sasaki Yukina and the other two.

Now wasn't the time to be curious. After a brief pause, he spoke earnestly, "I was worried I wouldn't be able to control myself and accidentally drain a girl dry... So, I never accepted anyone's confession."

He then lowered his head, feigning embarrassment.

"After you guys forced me yesterday, I realized nothing bad happened, so... hehehe."

"So, faced with three beautiful, cute, and well-built classmates, you revealed your true nature, huh?"

Kurumizaka Ruri pinched Qingqiu playfully, wearing a mischievous smile.

Hamazaki Reina added, "Not only was there no harm, but because of your succubus bloodline, you grew stronger and more vigorous."

"Indeed, succubi can enhance their power through intimacy. And for a succubus, sex is akin to food. Not engaging is like going hungry, leaving the body weak."

"Even a half-blood demon is stronger than a human." Sasaki Yukina mused, "You probably just regained your original strength by satisfying your hunger."

Qingqiu didn't say much, but Hamazaki Reina and the others filled in the gaps, perfectly aligning with logic.

They became more convinced that Qingqiu's changes were due to a succubus bloodline.

This was Qingqiu's goal. People tend to believe the 'truth' they've deduced themselves over explanations given by others.

After smoothly deceiving them, Qingqiu soon found an excuse to leave on his own.

"I'm back."

Returning to the Takamine residence where he was staying, Qingqiu habitually greeted, though there was no response.

Today was Wednesday, and the Takamine mother and daughter were at work and school, respectively. As for him... he was definitely skipping classes today.

Just as well, with the house empty, he could test his newly acquired talents and skills.

In the yard, Qingqiu first activated the Insightful Eye, ensuring nobody was around, then picked up an iron pipe he found in the storage.

Three-tenths strength, then five-tenths, then seven...

Before he even exerted full strength, the three-centimeter-thick solid steel pipe began to deform.

He then tested his speed and recovery.

At full speed, he covered 100 meters in under seven seconds.

For recovery... Qingqiu wasn't into self-harm, so he conducted a simple test.

A scratch that broke the skin healed in an instant, leaving no trace.

While this talent was powerful, it had a drawback: it consumed a lot of energy.

After several trials, Qingqiu's previously filled stomach was growling again.

After replenishing his energy, Qingqiu attempted to explore the Mental Resistance talent.

However, after much effort, he couldn't discover anything particularly noteworthy.

[Mental Resistance: Immunity or reduced impact from mental abilities.]

"Could this be a purely passive skill?"

Talents often had passive aspects.

Physical Activation permanently enhanced physical attributes.

Insightful Eye permanently enhanced vision, not only curing his nearsightedness but ensuring he wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.

If Mental Resistance worked as he suspected, it would mean a permanent increase in mental strength.

Boosting defense is still an enhancement!

In any world, mental talents are rare and valuable.

And a purely passive talent requires no further time investment.

Looking at the talent description, Qingqiu felt a mix of emotions. He hadn't expected Kurumizaka Ruri to provide such a little gem.

With talents tested, Qingqiu calmed himself, ready to try his one and only skill—Basic Magic Extraction.

The moment he activated Basic Magic Extraction, Qingqiu instinctively knew what to do.

Sitting cross-legged, he focused his mind, closed his eyes, and meditated.

His mind sensed the elements drifting in the air, guiding the faint blue specks of light into his body.

These blue specks slowly enveloped Qingqiu, merging from all directions into his body.

When the specks converged into a stream within, it signified the successful birth of the first trace of magic.

Then, using mental power, he guided the magic to circulate within.

With each small cycle, the magic grew slightly stronger.

After diligently cultivating for over an hour, until his legs went numb, Qingqiu's internal magic finally reached the thickness of a pinky finger.

Done for now, he stood up.

"…"

Feeling the weak magic within him, Qingqiu decided he'd better focus on pursuing girls.

Sitting there for so long hadn't yielded as much of a power boost as a single conquest.

So the blue energy flowing within Sasaki Yukina and the others was magic... and it didn't seem much more than mine.

Qingqiu pondered this for a moment, then relaxed.

The three were new students at Kuoh Academy, likely having only studied magic extraction for about a month.

"The Insightful Eye allowing me to see magic is a bit troublesome."

Qingqiu was somewhat troubled: "I wonder if awakening a bloodline naturally producing magic could explain it away."

Ultimately, to be cautious, he decided to disperse the magic he had just formed.

The previous hour of effort was effectively wasted.

Before dispersing it, he experimented and found that magic enhanced both Physical Activation and the Insightful Eye.

No wonder Sasaki Yukina and Hamazaki Reina seemed slightly stronger when using their abilities, as if it was easier for them.

Even without the additional boost, he felt confident he could handle that little yellow-haired guy.

Qingqiu thought to himself.

Surely the yellow-haired underling wasn't stronger than the boss, Hamazaki Reina.

Meanwhile, Hamazaki Reina and the others were overjoyed.

Hamazaki Reina raised her eyebrows, "Yukina, see, I wasn't lying."

"After being with Uesugi, my power indeed increased." Sasaki Yukina toyed with her pink hair, frowning slightly, "Not only did my magic power rise, but my control over my abilities improved."

"But to pass the test in the middle of the month..." Kurumizaka Ruri blushed, "At least five more times are needed."

"Only five times." Hamazaki Reina gave a charming smile, "With Uesugi's performance this morning, do you think that's still an issue?"

"And... this way of enhancing our power is much more enjoyable than meditative training."

Much more enjoyable indeed; it was downright heavenly.
