DxD: Wrong Way

As Aoki slowly approached, the grotesque fatty, who was even more repulsive than Hajime Tanaka, finally withdrew his greedy and lustful gaze from the girls before him.

Just moments ago, he had rewritten the five couples' fates in front of him to a deeper level of depravity.

From tonight onward, he planned to strip these five beautiful girls, who had just started dating their boyfriends and still maintained their purity, one by one in order. 

The wretched fatty noticed a stranger approaching but did not take it seriously.

Ignorant of the world's realities, he felt confident after acquiring such a skill.

The wretched fatty intended to wait until he grew bored of his escapades at Gosha Academy before he pursued women from other locales.

For example, the prestigious private Kuou Academy was a prime target.

It was rumored that last year it was a girls' school filled with young nobles; the quality of the beauties there was even higher than that of Gosha Academy.

Upon seeing Aoki's uniform, the fat man's eyes lit up.

"Stop."

A scarlet light flashed in the eyes of the wretched fat man, and a surge of spiritual energy assaulted Aoki's mind.

Due to the dual reduction of his mental resistance and charm, the residual power had little impact on him. At most, Aoki felt momentarily halted. 

Yet, he still halted and feigned being mesmerized.

The wretched fat man smiled with satisfaction, the fat on his greasy face accumulating in a way that made one want to retch just from looking at it.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

After successfully controlling Aoki, he had no intention of approaching closer

It wasn't as if the beautiful girl was leaning toward him.

This distance was sufficient for questioning.

Aoki moved his lips and spoke in a barely audible yet unclear voice, "I'm... here..."

He didn't clearly catch all the key points.

The fat man frowned, irritated, and said, "You haven't eaten yet; please speak louder."

Noting the other party still had no intention of stepping forward, Aoki felt frustrated.

Why were neither of them willing to move a step or two?

Hajime Tanaka was like this, and so was this replacement.

With such a lazy character at his core, it was unsurprising he would grow fat and become a pig. 

"Forget it; I'm too lazy to pretend."

Aoki relaxed and slowly moved forward.

Although it would be troublesome to deal with the fat man head-on, it was merely a slight inconvenience.

The wretched fat man was startled and quickly attempted to hypnotize him again: "You are very tired now. You can't walk on your legs. You want to lie down and sleep."

Suddenly, Aoki felt an overwhelming sleepiness wash over him.

It was as if his body had been exhausted for three days and nights, particularly his legs, which felt entirely unwilling to move.

He hesitated for a moment and slightly closed his eyelids.

Just as the wretched fat man let out a sigh of relief, Aoki suddenly opened his eyes and completely shook off the influence of hypnosis.

The mental resistance talent, combined with the mental resistance of the charm talent and the strength of his soul that is far beyond that of ordinary people, meant that the mental attack capable of hypnotizing someone of B-level strength could only slightly affect Aoki for a few seconds.

"How is it possible!?"

This was the first time the wretched fat man had failed at hypnosis, and it was so simple that it could be said to be his strongest attempt so far.

The simpler the hypnosis, the stronger the effect, and the easier it is to take hold.

After the shock, he backed away in a panic and said to the five couples surrounding him, "Help me stop him. It's better to kill him."

The ten people looked hesitant, and the fat man quickly added, "Don't worry, this person is a criminal, and I am a member of the government. You have to believe me."

A red light flashed in the eyes of the ten people as they surrounded Aoki; they muttered, "The government's officials said so, so it must be right."

Aoki looked down on the wretched fat man hiding behind the crowd, thinking that only a few ordinary people could stop him, which was quite naive.

He exerted strength in his leg muscles, turned in their direction, passed the ten people at a speed beyond that of ordinary sight, and grabbed the wretched fat man's head directly.

"You're so sleepy, you're so tired, you're so sleepy, you're so tired…"

Just as he sped up, Aoki heard the obscene fat man's urgent hypnotic voice in his ears.

Stunned, his movements came to a halt.

Under the constant influence of the wretched fat man, Aoki had become dazed, unable to take any effective action.

Five pairs of lovers surrounded him and began to punch and kick him.

Their attacks couldn't penetrate Aoki's defenses at all, but they made it harder for him to reach his target.

Generally speaking, using mental attacks like hypnosis would also consume the user's energy, but the wretched fat man didn't seem to tire at all.

Except for occasionally panting because he spoke too fast, he showed no signs of exhaustion.

This hypnosis wasn't actually his ability, but was conferred upon him by the rimless glasses on his face.

A week prior, this pair of glasses had suddenly appeared in his house.

When he picked them up and put them on, knowledge of hypnotic abilities naturally filled his mind.

After practicing for a week, driven by an inexplicable desire, he began to implement the hypnotic guidance plan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the plan started, someone who was not under the control of hypnosis found him, and it seemed that he definitely had bad intentions.

This situation lasted for who knows how long.

The wretched fat man felt like his throat was almost hoarse, but Aoki was still slowly approaching him.

Aside from the crumpled clothes on his body, not a single mark could be seen.

"Monster..."

The wretched fat man looked at Aoki in horror.

"Ten people are not enough, then a hundred!"

His face darkened as he spoke viciously.

After saying that, he stopped influencing Aoki and quickly ran out of the gymnasium.

There are more than a hundred people at Gosha Academy.

If he really succeeds, not to mention that Aoki won't be able to please him, the bad influence will probably anger Akeno Himejima to the point of pain.

Aoki wanted to stop him, but the five beautiful girls tightly held his limbs and waist.

There were five boys in front of him who were constantly attacking him, and there was no way to stop them as soon as he regained consciousness.

By the time he got rid of the entanglement and knocked out ten people one by one, the fat bastard had already vanished without a trace.

Kuro, who had been hiding since the beginning of the battle, appeared and delivered a message to Aoki.

"Did you go to the broadcast room..."

Aoki looked grim.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would face the pursuit of all the teachers and students in the school.

As if to prove his guess, the radio rang loudly.

"Listen up, everyone; there's a monster in the gym..."

(Translator-san: Feels like the author "weakened" the MC to make this scene happen. Is annonying when something like that happens)

The obscene fat man's voice spread from the radio to every corner of the campus, and an invisible force began to affect everyone who heard it.

Just as Aoki was considering a temporary retreat to bring reinforcements, a yellowed piece of paper fell out of his torn pocket.

Taking the paper, he thought for a moment, "Akeno-senpai said she would use it only when faced with a crisis, but it had no effect... Now then, this should be considered a crisis..."

Aoki decided to use it.

If the delay continues, he don't know what trouble this substitute will cause.

More importantly, he probably knows the root cause of this incident.

After being attacked by the opponent's hypnosis so many times, each time he received a mental shock, or when the opponent used their hypnotic ability, a scarlet light flashed in his eyes.

No, to be precise, the clear lenses turned red, marking the other person's eyes as red.

Ever since he saw this substitute, Aoki has always felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't place it anywhere.

After confirming this, he suddenly came to his senses.

They are the most eye-catching rimless flat glasses, but they are also the easiest to overlook.

Hajime Tanaka also wears a pair of glasses of the same style.

No, he intuitively think they are the same pair of glasses.

And this pair of glasses is the source of his hypnotic ability

It is also what he really needs to resolve.

If this pair of glasses is not dealt with, countless "Tanaka Hajime" will appear in the future, trying to replicate the hypnotic guidance.

After discovering that the opponent's ability comes from the glasses, a word suddenly appeared in Aoki's mind: [Artifact].

If it truly is a divine weapon, then it would be more reasonable to use the document provided by Akeno Himejima.

No matter how weak the artifact is, it possesses a divine character, so treating it with caution makes sense.

And these glasses are not weak at all. In the hands of someone skilled in mental power, even if they are only D-level, it is possible to defeat Aoki head-on.

Hearing the constant footsteps outside the gym, Aoki no longer hesitated as light blue magic flowed onto the yellowish paper.
