At the beginning of October, Japanese shopping malls were adorned with national day labels from the neighboring great power. On this festive day, Ethan pushed open the door to the infirmary at Kuoh Academy.
After spending twenty days stuck just below the God-rank—having refined the primal yin essence of several beauties to no avail—he decided it was time for a serious talk with Chisato Hasegawa.
Ordinarily, being stuck at such a bottleneck for years, decades, or even a lifetime was normal. However, Ethan had been cultivating for less than two years. With his unique dual-cultivation talent, twenty days felt like an eternity. More importantly, he was already on the path to becoming one of the supreme powers, and he couldn't stop now. If he did, those coveting the secrets of his dual-cultivation or beauties like Rias Gremory would soon make his life a living hell. Sirzechs could protect him for a while, but not forever.
He chose Chisato Hasegawa out of the four potential candidates not just for convenience, but because he genuinely wanted to pursue this tall, black-haired beauty with a fiery, curvaceous body and a gallant personality. He was also certain that even if he failed to gain the secret of the God-rank from her, he wouldn't be in any danger.
After months of observation, Ethan was sure Chisato was still sealing her true power. In this altered timeline, her reason for being in the human world had changed, but the rule that she couldn't easily use her power remained. This green-eyed, sultry school nurse had been at Kuoh Academy since before he met the Naruse sisters.
"Ms. Hasegawa," Ethan greeted her as she sat at her desk. He scanned the room to ensure no other students were present before deploying a barrier.
Chisato's hand paused almost imperceptibly as she turned a page. She pushed up her red-framed glasses and asked calmly, "Is something bothering you, student?"
Her tone was somewhat masculine, yet her voice was incredibly charming, highlighting the alluring femininity of this mature beauty. Even under her loose white lab coat, her fiery curves were perfectly outlined. Ethan estimated her bust to be even larger than Mio Naruse's; her green knit sweater looked like it was at its breaking point.
"I have a question for you, Ms. Hasegawa."
"I am just a school nurse. For academic questions, you should seek your classroom teachers."
"Only you can help me with this." Ethan looked directly into her stunning face. "I want to know how to complete the second life metamorphosis and reach the God-rank."
Chisato gave him a long look. At this point, pretending was meaningless. She stood up, her hands bracing against the desk, her sexy black-stockinged legs fully visible. "It's working hours. If you want to know, come to my home after school."
Ethan felt a surge of excitement. His instincts told him that winning over this goddess would grant him immense benefits.
At 5:10 PM, Ethan sat in Chisato's red sports car. "Sorry to keep you waiting," she said as she drove. As a nurse, she had to stay until all students left after club activities. Because students—boys and girls alike—frequently visited the infirmary just to see her, she was always busy.
"No, I'm the one troubling you," Ethan smiled.
Ethan's reputation at the academy was nonexistent—rumors claimed he was involved with every attractive woman on campus, from students to teachers. This, combined with Chisato's own legendary status, meant no students dared interrupt them as they left together.
