Abel walked alone to the end of the corridor.
Looking at the door in front of him, Abel pushed it open. What came into view was a huge coffin. The coffin lid was made of crystal, allowing the person inside to be seen.
The glass hadn't accumulated dust even after so long, it seemed Gasper was quite diligent.
Abel walked to the side of the coffin and saw a very beautiful young girl lying inside the coffin.
She was Valerie Tepes.
The holder of Sephiroth Graal.
She had been in a deep sleep since awakening her Sacred Gear.
She was Gasper's saviour, and one could even say she was Gasper's "creator."
Abel walked to the coffin, carefully examining Valerie. Her face was like delicate porcelain, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she would wake up the next second.
Abel reached out and lightly touched the glass of the coffin, and the coffin lid opened.
Looking at Valerie, who was like a sleeping beauty, Abel poked her face.
It was smooth and elastic.
How should he wake her up?
Abel thought for a moment, then pulled out a knife and made a cut in his palm.
As his blood flowed out, the fragrance of the demonic power-filled blood made Valerie's nose twitch.
Abel's blood was very tempting to Valerie. This was also thanks to his transmigration buff—Magic Fountain.
Abel leaned against the coffin, then reached out and dripped blood onto her lips.
Valerie's eyelids fluttered, then slowly opened.
"Valerie, wel..."
Before Abel could finish, Valerie sat up. She grabbed Abel's hand and licked his wound.
It felt itchy, a bit strange.
Perhaps she had just woken up and desperately needed to replenish her energy.
Valerie's eyes looked at Abel, and she slowly uttered a sentence, "Abel, I'm hungry."
"You're hungry? Get up and go eat..."
His words were interrupted once again by Valerie.
Valerie said nothing, slowly getting up. Perhaps because she hadn't moved for too long, her limbs had no strength. With a stumble, she fell into Abel's arms.
Thud!
Then the two of them fell to the ground, their current posture somewhat ambiguous. Although their posture was somewhat ambiguous at the moment, Valerie's mind was elsewhere. She was lying on Abel's body, looked at his exposed neck and gulped.
That tiny bit of fresh blood just now had captivated Valerie.
So fragrant...
She wanted more.
Valerie wrapped her arms around Abel's neck, her head resting on his chest. With a slight lift of her head, she could touch Abel's neck.
"Valerie, are you ok..."
Abel was wondering if Valerie was alright when she apologized to him.
"Sorry."
The next moment, Valerie looked up and leaned in, gently biting Abel's neck.
Abel was stunned.
However, no pain came. Instead, the bitten area felt a little itchy, and it was licked.
As Valerie began to feed, Abel felt changes in his body, but since he was not an ordinary person but a devil, a little absorption was not a big problem.
"Valerie, don't absorb too fast. Let me take a breath too." Abel said helplessly.
Upon hearing Abel's words, Valerie moved her lips away. At this moment, her eyes were hazy, as if she had taken drugs, and her face was flushed.
"Sorry, but you are too delicious."
"I'm sorry."
But the craving for food once again gained the upper hand, and Valerie gently bit Abel's neck again.
Abel rubbed Valerie's hair, feeling a bit helpless but he didn't say anything.
Valerie would have to repay the blood she took this time, sooner or later.
But he wouldn't become Valerie's exclusive blood bag, would he? Like those two in "Rosario + Vampire"?
Forget it.
After all, this girl had been sleeping for ten years, so let her suck for a while. And life is like that, since you can't resist, then enjoy it.
But he couldn't just let her suck for free, he had to collect some interest first.
While letting Valerie suck his blood, Abel's hands began to become restless, gently stroking Valerie's back.
Valerie's face turned red. Abel didn't know if it was from sucking blood or from embarrassment but Valerie's sucking action slowed down.
Abel had to say, Valerie felt pretty good to the touch.
After some time.
"Abel, how are you do..."
Rias, who had finished with Gasper, came to inquire about Abel's situation, and when she saw Valerie and Abel's ambiguous posture, she was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly recovered and shouted, "Valerie, what are you doing!?"
—
Occult Research Club.
Abel sat on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. At this moment, his face was a bit pale, but it wasn't a big problem and would be fine in a while.
The two "strawberries" on his neck were quite conspicuous.
Valerie sat next to Abel, her face flushed, looking down, somewhat embarrassed to face Abel.
Akeno was brewing herbal tea for Abel, preparing to replenish him well, as he had lost quite a bit of blood.
"Abel, are you okay?"
"I'll be fine in a while."
Facing Rias's concern, Abel waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.
Akeno carried the tea over, placed it in front of Abel, and then teased Valerie, "Oh my, Valerie, you really need to be more restrained."
Valerie buried her head even lower, muttering softly, "I... I couldn't help myself, and Abel smells really good."
Abel picked up the teacup and took a sip, then comforted Valerie, "It's okay, I didn't lose out."
At this moment, the research club's door opened.
Yuuto, Gasper, Koneko, and a lecherous-looking Issei walked in.
Now that everyone was here, it was time to start the discussion.
Abel took out a Senzu Bean and popped it into his mouth and immediately recovered.
"Alright, everyone, I have something to say."
As Abel spoke, the scene quieted down.
"The Rating Game will start next weekend, and you only have one week left. Starting tomorrow, I will give you a rigorous one-week special training."
"Understood."
Upon hearing about the special training, everyone showed different expressions.
Yuuto's eyes were firm. As a knight, he had to bring victory to Rias.
Gasper was a bit nervous, unconsciously clutching the corner of his clothes. He still lacked some confidence.
Issei's eyes lit up with excitement, muttering that he would become stronger during the special training.
Koneko was eating snacks with no expression.
Valerie secretly glanced at Abel, whispering, "I will also train hard."
"Okay, tomorrow on the back mountain, I will help you train."
