Chapter 17

Lin En saw this, took another sip of black tea, and kept his merits and name hidden.

He really was too kind-hearted; he couldn't bear to see his own Familia suffer!

"Found it!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Rias also smiled happily and said:

"This magic is actually quite simple. If you learn it now, perhaps I can give you some advice."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled at her and then said, "Thank you, but there should be no need to trouble you, Miss Rias."

After thanking her, Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head again and began writing in the Grimoire.

Rias was slightly taken aback and also glanced at Lin En with some confusion.

Wasn't asking about this magic for the sake of easier copying?

Why was she copying it herself again?

Very soon, she understood the reason.

"Done!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha put down her pen, stretched her body, and then released her magic power, her eyes filled with expectation.

Hum—

The Grimoire suddenly burst into bright light!

A small white magic circle rose from the page recording 'Automatic Writing'.

A white feather pen slowly manifested.

Success!

Kasumigaoka Utaha cheered in her heart.

It was genuine magic!

Although it was just a trivial little spell, it was enough to make her excited.

"This is..."

Rias's gaze narrowed slightly.

It was indeed the 'Automatic Writing' magic.

Did she learn it during the process of copying just now?

Or could it be...

The real reason lies in the 'copying'?

And that strange book.

Rias thought a lot, her eyes flickering slightly, and she praised:

"I didn't expect Kasumigaoka-san to master the 'Automatic Writing' magic so quickly. Mr. Lin En's subordinate is truly not simple."

Immediately after, Rias changed the subject and said, "I remember that Mr. Lin En's residence is quite a long distance from Kuoh Town."

"There is a teleportation magic on page 777 of that book. Why not learn it now and build a marker here? It will be convenient for coming and going in the future."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's performance had piqued Rias's interest.

She wanted to see whether it was Kasumigaoka Utaha's strong learning ability or some special power.

Although the teleportation magic on page 777 was a common skill in the Netherworld, its difficulty was definitely no less than some family secret techniques of devil nobles.

Even she had spent a long time learning it seriously back then.

She did not believe that Kasumigaoka Utaha could master this ability in a short time.

Lin En saw through her scheme at a glance, but he did not stop her; instead, he fanned the flames: "Utaha."

Although they had only been together for a little over a day, Kasumigaoka Utaha understood Lin En's meaning.

She flipped the black-covered book to page 777.

'Magic Circle Jump'.

The white feather pen did not pause at all and began copying on the Grimoire.

She didn't make Rias wait too long.

The moment the white feather pen stopped, Kasumigaoka Utaha, having received Lin En's instruction, directly released her magic power.

Hum—

A purple magic circle, dozens of times larger than the previous one, rose above the Grimoire!

The dense runes within it made one's eyes dizzy.

At the very least, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not understand what those runes represented.

But it didn't matter; she didn't need to understand!

This is the Scribe Devil!

Rias stared at the 'Magic Circle Jump' magic circle, slightly dazed.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

She actually... really learned it?

In such a short time??

Even the gazes of Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko were attracted.

As Rias's subordinates, they had also mastered 'Magic Circle Jump', so they were even more aware of the difficulty of this magic.

A subordinate who appeared to have just reincarnated from an ordinary human into a devil, and had only just come into contact with the Transcendent World, had mastered a highly difficult magic in an extremely short time.

If it were just through learning, then it could be described as having heaven-defying comprehension.

But clearly, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not 'learn' it.

Rias fixed her gaze on that book, the corners of her mouth curling up involuntarily, "What an interesting ability."

"Copying, or perhaps recording, documenting?"

"As long as the knowledge is recorded in that book, it can be mastered."

Lin En clapped and said, "As expected of the Young Lady of the Gremory family, you've figured out Utaha's ability so quickly."

"Let me formally introduce her: Scribe Devil, Kasumigaoka Utaha."

"Scribe Devil..." Rias murmured, then said, "A very fitting title."

Rias took a deep breath and then probed, "I wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. Lin En to reveal the limits of this ability?"

Record everything, control everything.

If it really reached that level, Rias would not hesitate to label it in the category of Longinus.

Lin En rested his chin on his hands, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, "Limits, huh? I'm not too sure myself. Why doesn't Miss Rias explore them personally?"

A mere common magic usage technique could never satisfy him.

Time to drop some skills, Young Lady of Gremory.
