Lynn opened his status panel.
[Lynn Valifer]
Race: Devil
Rank: High-Class Devil
Authority: None
Peerage: Kasumigaoka Utaha, Yotsuya Miko
Skills: 'Evil Pieces,' 'Devil's Grimoire,' 'Archivist Devil,' 'Spirit Sight,' 'Spirit Devil'
---
Nothing much had changed, except for the addition of Yotsuya Miko in the peerage section and two new skills—Spirit Sight and Spirit Devil.
For Spirit Sight…Other than his vision feeling a little clearer, Lynn didn't notice any significant changes from acquiring this skill. As a devil, he could already see spirits and supernatural entities without issue.
However, what this skill did tell him was that Miko's Spirit Sight was at an incredibly high level.
Shifting his attention to Spirit Devil, Lynn's eyes gleamed. This ability was practically a spirit's worst nightmare! It was clear just how much resentment Miko had built up toward spirits over time.
As for his rank, he was still a High-Class Devil.
Despite the system notification about his increased power, Miko was only a Low-Class Devil, so the boost wasn't too significant.
When Utaha had been reincarnated, Lynn had already reached the threshold of Middle-Class Devil, which had allowed him to ascend straight to High-Class. But to level up again… that would take more work.
"What if I recruited Natsuki-chan into my peerage?"
The thought crossed Lynn's mind. His Devil's Piece-granted blessing system was similar to the Danmachi world's Falna, yet the two were fundamentally different.
For instance, Falna used the Lv1, Lv2 system, whereas his system categorized ranks as Low-Class, Middle-Class, High-Class Devils, etc.
Both systems shared a common trait in that newly reincarnated devils started with I0 stats, but in Lynn's case, not every member began as a Low-Class Devil.
If he were to reincarnate Natsuki, Lynn had a feeling her rank might start at High-Class, or perhaps even higher.
That alone would grant him a tremendous power boost.
But…Recruiting Natsuki wouldn't be easy. This would take time.
Besides, while Miko and Utaha were still Low-Class, with his blessing system, their growth was only a matter of time.
Temporarily setting those thoughts aside, Lynn turned to see Miko adjusting her clothes.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
Miko's eyes sparkled. "I feel amazing!"
Ever since becoming a devil, her body felt lighter, her mind clearer, and even her confidence had skyrocketed!
Right now, she was itching to test her new powers on an evil spirit.
Seeing this, Lynn handed her a sheet of paper.
Miko looked at it, puzzled. "What's this?"
"Your blessing data."
Lynn briefly explained the Falna-like system of his peerage.
Once she understood, Miko carefully examined the details.
Low-Class Devil.
"…So I'm at the bottom tier of devils, huh…"
Well, at least that meant plenty of room for improvement. Miko was pretty optimistic about it.
She glanced at her stats. i0 across the board. Well, that was normal for beginners.
Then she scrolled down and—Spirit Sight.
"…So this is the damn thing responsible for me seeing ghosts, huh?"
Miko's feelings were complicated.
Thanks to this ability, she had lived a very stressful and very terrifying life.
If she hadn't been reincarnated, who knew how much longer she would've had to endure it?
Shaking her head, she continued reading.
The moment she saw the next skill, her eyes lit up like high-beam headlights.
Spirit Devil!
"I love this skill!"
Miko was now desperate to find an evil spirit to test her new powers on.
"Lynn-sama, when are we going to start grinding levels?!"
She looked up at him, eyes sparkling like a cat begging for treats.
Her way of addressing him had also changed naturally—from Lynn-san to Lynn-sama.
Lynn smiled, patting her head gently before pointing at the sun outside.
"If you don't mind exposing your devil identity to humans, then we can go right now."
"…Uh…"
Feeling the warmth of his touch, Miko's ears turned red, and her excitement simmered down a little.
"L-Let's wait until night, then."

Meanwhile—
Utaha, who had been writing in her Devil's Grimoire, briefly paused when she saw this affectionate master-servant interaction.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she resumed writing.
Only this time… she was pressing her pen against the page way harder than necessary.
(Devil's Grimoire: ….)
"Failed."
Utaha finished writing and casually stepped between Lynn and Miko, handing her Grimoire to Lynn.
Lynn flipped through it.
It contained records of Miko's two abilities.
They had tested whether Utaha's Archivist Devil skill could record and replicate these new abilities.
The result was clear: it couldn't.
"As expected."
Neither Lynn nor Utaha were surprised.
After all, Archivist Devil was described as a skill that recorded learnable magic and techniques.
Spirit Sight and Spirit Devil, however, were unique innate abilities awakened upon reincarnation.
They weren't something that could simply be copied or learned.
Lynn patted Utaha's head. "No worries. Archivist Devil is already plenty strong."
"I-I don't need comforting…"
She said that, but… she didn't pull away from the head pats, either.
Miko, on the other hand, wasn't paying much attention to their interaction.
She had peeked at the Devil's Grimoire and curiously asked, "What's this?"
"My awakened ability," Utaha replied matter-of-factly.
Since she had read Miko's abilities, it was only fair that she shared hers as well.
Miko was amazed. "That's awesome…"
Utaha simply shrugged.
Archivist Devil was awesome, after all.
With that settled, Miko filled out her Club membership form and exchanged contact information with Lynn and Utaha.
Once Lynn added her to the peerage group chat, she stared at the group name with a weird expression.
So she was… one of the harem.
What surprised her even more was that, aside from Lynn, the only members were herself and Utaha.
Which meant… once the peerage grew, she would be one of the founding members?!
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, she continued discussing plans with Lynn-sama and Utaha-senpai for tonight's training session.
However—
"…I feel like I'm forgetting something…"
Miko muttered to herself.

Meanwhile—
At the main entrance of the school building
Yurikawa Hana: "Where's Miko?"
