Nakano Yotsuba blinked her eyes:
"But, I still don't understand these questions..."
"Why?" Badr was puzzled. "Didn't I just explain the key points to you?"
"Huh? Were those the key points you were talking about!?" Yotsuba was shocked.
Badr: "..."
At that moment, Badr suddenly felt a sense of exasperation.
He suddenly understood;
He had indeed used magical power to force Yotsuba to remember some knowledge, but...
For an idiot, what use is it to just remember knowledge without understanding it?
Miscalculation.
Badr's eyes narrowed slightly.
Undoubtedly, the Nakano Yotsuba in front of him was exactly that kind of adorable idiot...
Had he underestimated the problem?
Even with photographic memory, learning knowledge isn't that easy!
Nakano Ichika and the others were also speechless.
"How is this possible, is there no magic that can save you, Yotsuba..." Ichika murmured with a wry smile.
"There's no hope." Miku sighed.
Nino looked at Yotsuba with a smile: "Were you too busy thinking about becoming a magical girl?"
"There must be something wrong, let's try again." Itsuki comforted.
Badr sat on one side, his gaze sweeping over the five sisters.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but your academic performance is probably about the same, right?"
This comment immediately silenced the four sisters who had been making sarcastic remarks, and they suddenly wilted like Yotsuba.
Looking at the five sisters in front of him, Badr suddenly found it interesting.
He suddenly realized that this was a rare opportunity.
Previously, he had only served one person, but now there were five potential contract partners right in front of him.
Why not go big and make contracts with all five sisters?
Leaning on the sofa's armrest, Badr propped his chin with his left hand, examining the five beautiful girls who looked exactly the same. He thought his idea was feasible.
Badr understood that subjects like history and geography, which only required rote memorization, would not be a problem for them.
The key issues were subjects like math and language arts, which had difficult concepts. These could be solved with a bit more time and proper explanation.
"Would you all like to make contracts with me?"
Badr looked at the beautiful girls, showing a faint smile. "In exchange, I can tutor you in your studies and guarantee your smooth graduation."
Badr's words were like a thunderclap in the hearts of the five sisters.
They were indeed worried about their academic performance...
"Is this... the legendary... devil's whisper?" Nakano Ichika couldn't help but smile and sigh.
Nakano Nino sat with her arms crossed, snorted lightly, and said, "Are you sure you want to use this method? Don't you think it's suspicious? It sounds too good to be true."
Suspecting the authenticity of the contract, Badr remained calm and said:
"I have no reason to deceive you. We devils complete various human requests and then receive compensation to enhance our power. This is how devils survive today."
"I believe Badr-san is a good person!" Nakano Yotsuba nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you," Badr replied, "but I don't need a good person card."
Everyone: "..."
Miku curiously asked, "Um... no matter what the difficulty, we can ask you for help?"
"That's right. The stronger the human desire, the richer the compensation we receive through the contract. So we will do our best to fulfill the request and satisfy human desires."
"Wow, that sounds like it could easily be misunderstood." Nakano Itsuki muttered to herself. "Then, what if someone wants to do something criminal..."
Badr's lips curled slightly, showing a bit of a wild smile:
"Want to do it? I can't destroy the world, but I can blow up a school. After all, you don't like studying, right?"
"No, no, no! Don't listen to Itsuki's nonsense!!" Yotsuba waved her hands frantically.
Badr chuckled internally, "Just kidding. Destructive actions are not allowed. There are rules."
After all, it was a human-dominated era, and there were powerful individuals among humans. Angels and devils couldn't act recklessly.
The ones who usually caused trouble were Stray Devils or exiled ones, who would be hunted down if they committed crimes.
The five sisters exchanged glances, thinking that it didn't seem like there was much to hesitate about.
"I think it's worth a try. We've encountered a magical world, and I don't want to have my memory erased." Nakano Ichika smiled and spoke first.
Then it was Nakano Yotsuba, who was actually the most enthusiastic.
After all, it was her wish, and Badr's appearance hit the mark for her.
Miku and Itsuki also agreed, leaving only Nakano Nino.
The girl hesitated for a moment and then pouted, "What's the big deal? Since you all agreed, I have no objections. We're always in this together!"
Done!
Badr showed a faint smile, feeling very pleased.
Unexpectedly, he had secured five contract partners at once, which was very important for a devil with only one contractor...
He then seriously signed contracts with the beautiful girls. This time, it was just an ordinary contract, not like the faith contract with Mai Sakurajima that had amazed Rias...
But with quantity, it made up for the quality.
Moreover, it wasn't impossible to upgrade to a faith contract in the future. He could work towards that.
Badr tapped his finger on the table, drawing the quintuplets' attention.
"Next, I will tutor you in your studies. Before that, show me your exam papers. I need to understand your level."
Upon hearing this, the five sisters' expressions changed...
They looked at each other, all feeling embarrassed.
Badr blinked and urged, "Where are the papers?"
Reluctantly, they slowly took out their exam papers from their bags, and Badr collected them one by one.
After looking through them, Badr was speechless for a long time.
"Not bad, you got a hundred points... combined."
Hearing this, the girls showed expressions of extreme embarrassment, awkwardly glancing around.
Badr was speechless. He had expected their grades to be bad, as Yotsuba's wish was for them to graduate smoothly.
But he hadn't expected it to be this bad...
They only got a hundred points combined...
Did these quintuplets share a single brain?
Badr pursed his lips, realizing he needed to spend some effort tutoring them.
Using the power of memory alteration, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"Alright, it's no big deal. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Badr's gentle words surprised the sisters slightly.
"Really? You're the first person to tell us it's okay that our grades are bad..." Nakano Ichika said with a smile.
"But I didn't say not studying is okay. Learning more knowledge is beneficial to you."
Badr responded casually, making Nino feel a bit speechless.
"You sound just like those elders..."
"Are you in your rebellious phase?" Badr tilted his head slightly, staring at Nakano Nino.
"No!" the girl glared back, "Speaking of which, since you're also a high school student, are your grades good?"
Badr shrugged:
"My grades are just on the passing line."
"Huh? Then you're not much better. How can you teach us?" Nino said grumpily.
Badr chuckled: "Just because I'm barely passing doesn't mean my knowledge level is low. Do you think it's hard for me to score full marks?"
Everyone: "..."
Although his tone was calm, his words were full of arrogance...
"So, it was my fault for not understanding those key points..." Nakano Yotsuba pouted. "I really didn't understand..."
"Maybe the real problem is someone teaching useless stuff?" Nino glanced at Badr with ill intent.
Badr raised an eyebrow and responded calmly:
"As an elder sister, how can you say that about your sister?"
Nino: "...??"
Yotsuba: "...??"
After a moment, everyone reacted and fell silent...
Badr stood up, ignoring the slightly irritated Nakano Nino, and said to the beautiful girls:
"I'll be leaving now. Tomorrow, I'll prepare the study materials and tutor you. Rest well tonight."
"Oh, alright... We'll count on you then~" Nakano Ichika waved with a smile.
"See you tomorrow."
Badr said, and with a flash of light from the teleportation array under his feet, he disappeared from their sight...
This scene left the girls with their mouths agape, feeling incredulous.
Returning home through teleportation magic, Badr began organizing the study materials for tomorrow while calling Rias to share the good news.
Signing five contracts at once was a big deal, and Rias was very happy for him.
But since Rias hadn't finished her own tasks, Badr didn't disturb her for long.
After finishing his preparations, he began his daily workout until he was drenched in sweat before stopping.
After taking a comfortable bath, he lay down on his bed, ending a fulfilling day.
Feeling pretty good, Badr then called Mai Sakurajima, knowing she would be home by now.
