Err…hello guys. New DxD fanfic here. Another OC centric fic…but in a time-skip?! Well I'll start the story now to not bore you.
NOTE: First and LAST disclaimer I'll be doing. I do not own DxD. Oh and there might or might not be reference and/or crossover so I do not own them too!
Let us begin now.
Chapter 1: New Age
What is change to be exact?
Are they good? Or are they bad?
Well it depends on how people see it anyway. For me? I see change is more like…a stage in life. A process that is inevitable, a process no one can avoid. Even by sitting in a room all day for many years could change you.
That would be a Hikkikomori!
Even working too much is bad. Workaholics…or corporate slaves I would say. Anyway, so I ask you this, is changing a good thing or bad thing?
But alas, it is but a universal question. Some may say it's bad, some may say it's good. After all…I was the ones who have seen those changes. Exactly forty years after the events of what the world would deem as the 'Apocalypse', there has been major changes into our world.
And yes, I mean world as in us human. The event was far too large to keep it out of human reaches, and thus enters the time where humans knew about the supernatural world. And of course…in a dark time, when the monstrous beast Trihexa has ravaged almost all of existence, us humans were actually the one to keep life itself intact.
By banding together. For the first time, all races worked together. Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Humans, and even others like the Youkai's, etc etc. Anyway, the races worked with one another, and finally pushed back the beast of apocalypse!
However, it was still an entity that can't be killed. The Apocalypse WILL happen, but somehow with the death of the biblical god, all logic has ben thrown out. We managed to stop a god damn apocalypse…judgement day for fucks sake!
Of course, there was the Heaven's Fall incident after that but that's a story for another time. As I closed my book, I eyed the large group of children in front of me and grinned. "So!" I started. "Did you get that kids?"
"Yes Dai-sensei!" Kids of rugged appearance screamed. I made a satisfied nod. Nothing sure beats seeing children loving history.
As I closed a small book in my hand, I ran my hand through my jet black hair and stared at the children with my blue eyes once more as I said, "Class dismissed!"
The children squealed in happiness, but not before bowing ran outside the rather broken down classroom. I smiled and dusted myself, a white buttoned up shirt rested on my torso with it's sleeves rolled up. Long black pants was seen with belt straps over my shoulders, and finally, comfy looking black shoes and a wrist watch.
You know…teaching poor children is actually a nice job! I walked outside the rundown classroom to arrive at a half destroyed building where I walked out. Suffice to say, the area looked like as if a war had taken. Lots of run down buildings was seen, but actually had people living in them!
I welcome you folks…to the Downtown Side of the Kuoh City. Or rather…the world itself. You see, the world has indeed evolved. Our kindness is actually much more better comparing to the time before the apocalypse…and so is our discrimination.
In the Downtown lies people who are poor. In this new age…the rich are much more rich than ever…while the poor is much more poor than ever. Living here…is just like living in hell. Heck l, even hell seems nice comparing to this place!
I'm talking about crooks, criminals, addicts and overall, bad people. Now take that…and gather that in one place! This place serve as the 'outcast' side of the world. But even so…I believe this is a place where humans really shine.
There lies a…certain charm to this god awful place. Maybe staying here has really changed me. As I walked on the ruined streets, I arrived at a rather run down, but much more proper building. I looked towards the side to see a small sign.
'KUOH ACADEMY'
Stripped of it's former glory, the former Academy of the famous Sekiryuutei is now but a run down building used by the citizens of the Downtown as their house. Hey, it's pretty interesting to see several families living in a single classroom!
Okay that sound pathetic but hey, living day by day here is how things roll. Anyway, I ignored the main building and went around the large broken down structure to arrive at an even older looking building, however, it was more well kept comparing to others.
I smiled.
"Home sweet home…" I mused to myself and entered the building. The doors weren't creaking so that was good. Coming into view was some kind of large room where it functions as a living room, kitchen, dining room and bed room. The left side had some stoves and ovens that looked far too old despite the huge technological movement the world had. Left of the kitchen was cheap chairs and tables for four people. Directly in the middle was several couches and a large flat screen TV while the back had several sleeping bags and a large bed. In all this, directly right of this entire room was the bathroom where it was by far the fanciest place. It was sparkling white, without any signs of damage!
Hey, I love my bathroom clean!
Back to subject, there was three people within the room/house. A male sitting on the dining section eating cheap instant food, a girl sitting on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling and another, younger girl sitting on the couch, watching the TV with an empty expression.
"…Dry me." The little girl said. I made a small sigh but nodded anyway. Better not disobey the little girl lest I want to get snakes up my ass. Anyway, I sat next to her as she gave me a towel. She had a gothic dress on but her hair was wet.
I started rubbing it with the towel and begin drying her hair as I said, "You know Ophis…it would be good to do this by yourself time to time. How long has it been since you start living here?"
"Two years, three months, eight minutes and twenty two seconds." The Dragon God said, before tilting her head back. "Now get back to drying me."
"You know…he took us in when the world thrown us out." Said the other male. "Be grateful."
"…I, who is a Dragon God, will not listen to rants of a mere dragon." Ophis said in a monotone voice. "I, will not listen."
"You do realize that mere dragon is the Apocalypse Dragon right?" I interjected only to receive a stare from Ophis. Sighing, I continued drying her hair as I said, "So dearest Great Red…how are you enjoying yourself for these years? I'll be going to the Uptown for my second year within the Academy there and I think I'll be more busy than ever. Are you okay with that?"
"Hey kid…" Red said as he rose his head where crimson coloured hair was seen with golden streaks. His golden orbs stared back at me as he said, "You've done more than enough to take us in. I suppose keeping the roof that help us intact is the least we can do."
Ophis never spoke, but merely nods her head. Haah…such nice friends. Who knew the Dragon God and Apocalypse Dragon would be home friendly? I finally finished drying Ophis's hair and said, "Is that all dearest dragon princess?"
"It would suffice." Ophis said and eyes the TV once more. I made a satisfied nod and went towards the bed. In there lies a jet black hair woman with streaks of blonde at the ends of her hair which became curly as it goes lower. Her red eyes were void of life as she wore a black stained dress.
Flip! Flip! Flip!
And then…twelve wings fluttered behind her, black as the night it was and black coloured halo rested atop her head. I couldn't help but make a sad face at her state and said, "…Gabriel…"
"…" The former Seraph responded before I placed my hand atop hers.
"I'll be starting my second year soon, so I'll be more busy. Are you okay with that?"
"…"
"I see." I said, before releasing her. The former Seraph merely rested down on bed as I tucked her in.
I walked back near Red as he said, "So when are you starting?"
"Tomorrow." I said. "I'm going to sleep early tonight. Got lots of things to do tomorrow!"
"I see. Good luck on the new year boy."
"Will do!" I said before going next to the bed where a small section of cover was seen where we can change clothes in private. I slipped into my comfy pajamas before settling down on the bed. Before I sleep, I turned my head to the side and saw the sleeping face of Gabriel who had dried tears on the side of her eyes.
It can't be helped honestly. After the events of Heaven's Fall…it would be understandable as to how a once cheerful lady became…this.
As my mind drifts slowly into sleep, one thing came into my mind.
…
…
…
I just hope the three powerhouses living with me won't destroy the house while I'm gone.
"Wake up."
"…"
"Wake up."
"…"
SHASH!
"Ugoooh?!" I screamed as a stinging sensation at my butt was felt. I leaped off the bed and quickly went into alert, before I inspected my butt only see a pair of snakes dangling from it.
…
Really? That's how she wakes me up?! I turned my head to the side with a twitching eyebrow and deadpan face to see Ophis standing next to my bed. "I, have taken the liberty to wake you up. Be grateful."
And with that, the Dragon God left the bedroom section and sat on the dinner table. "I, demand breakfast."
"Yes yes Princess…after my bath."
SHASH!
"Again on my butt?!"
Ophis's staring pierced my soul and with a heavy sigh, I quickly went to the nearby refrigerator next to the kitchen and opened it to reveal lots of food and snacks in stored. Quickly whipping up some cereal and milk, I placed them near Ophis and rushed towards the bathroom as I said, "You know how to whip them up yeah?"
I showered in the pace that the Flash would've been jealous at before preparing myself a breakfast at the dinner table. There, I placed a piece of paper on the table and said, "Okay I've left some money on our saving box. Red, you're in charge."
"I, object." Ophis interjects before I stared at her.
"Do you know how to order take out?"
"…"
"Then I've made my point. Anyway, Red, you're in charge here okay?"
"Roger."
"And Ophis…"
Stare….
"Err…never mind. Oh and Gabriel!"
The Former Seraph never responds so I sighed and said, "Um…I guess Red is totally in charge then."
"Kid, calm down. If we can as much as take the Apocalyptic Beast head on, keeping the place in tact should be easy as…err…pie."
You know when a super powered being says that in a tone of uncertainty, I seriously doubt they could. But then again, two years of living here should give them enough experience to handle things. With a nod, I said my farewells before leaving the building. I left the grounds of the former Kuoh Academy before looking into the sky.
Speaking of which, did any of you asked where the hell are those old characters that you would want to see from the original series? Well…they're living in the sky now. And no, they're not dead but rather, they're literally living in the sky. Up above high in the sky lies huge floating structure like buildings.
Either they floated with magic, some being carried by machines or most, built massive pillars from the Downtown to support them. Years of technology, and the help of the Supernatural creatures, made technology much more advanced.
I arrived at a rusty looking elevator, one of the…cheaper elevators around here. I inserted some coins before creaky and rusty doors opened where there was several buttons. I pressed Uptown before the doors closed and started moving upwards.
It was a good ten minutes, before I grinned. Here's the amazing part that has happened on this new age. As I nearly reached Uptown, I heard the sound of loud beasts roaring before a large monster flew past by the elevator.
Dragons.
Who doesn't know them? Somehow, Dragon's has actually managed to prevail up until this time with new ones being birthed thanks to…certain heavenly dragons. Anyway, it wasn't strange to see even half dragon breed walking about.
I may have stated this before but the human world now lives in harmony with the supernatural world. It wasn't strange to see an Angel with a human partner, or Devils having their own human harems, or humans learning magic etc etc.
Hence, due to this, the concept of myth and legends no longer exist but certain laws still apply such as death and life creation. Those type of laws still apply and only supernatural beings are allowed to go in and out of Heaven and Hell.
But nowadays, people are pretty much peaceful. As the elevator stopped, signifying I reached Uptown, the doors slid open and instantly coming into view was a beautiful, futuristic city. And no, there wasn't any floating cars if you're asking. We still use land based cars but we do have an amazing train network system which could float thanks to via magic.
At any rate, I must be boring you with all these history lessons, but we wouldn't want to be left in the dark when this story goes into high gear yeah?
Anyway, I continued my walk towards the side road before entering a large station nearby. Taking one of the floating trains, I entered it and awaited patiently within. Lots of people hustled in and out. Ugh…just like old world Japan, the trains were still full of people. Lucky for me, I found a lucky spot to sit down at.
I peered behind me and looked towards the window where we begin moving. The train moved at an insane speed to the point everything looks so blurry. And within mere seconds, an announcement came up.
Now arriving at Saint Kuoh Academy. I repeat, now arriving at Saint Kuoh-
Oh yeah…did I mention Kuoh Academy had reached far into the world? I quickly left the train and went into a fancy looking station. Thanks to the great contribution of the former student and current Sekiryuutei, the Academy had really stepped up into the world.
Befitting of the contribution and influence of the Sekiryuutei, the Academy now serves as the highest of highest, the top of the top and…need I to say more?
An Academy where all species of the equal races resides. While the Academy serve as not only for the best education, it also serves as the best combat school, but that's for a later subject. And of course, yours truly, I happen to be a student despite being a resident of Downtown.
Damn Academy has their own train station for gods sake!
Anyway, I walked towards the gates and eyed the large building, before sighing. I don't really hate school time but…
"Holy shit that guy attends for the second year?!"
"I can't believe it!"
"At least the new system would place him where he belongs…"
And then there's that. Honestly students who are residents of Downtown is looked down in here, but really, no ones complaining. I ignored the lookers and went towards the Main Academy building and-
"Oh excuse me!" A chirpy voice was heard as I tilt my head to the side to see a rather short boy next to me. He had a slip of paper in hand and with a large sincere smile, he gave it to me. "Sensei has assigned me to give this to you!"
I raised an eyebrow and took the paper as I said, "Uuh…thanks…" before peering into the paper.
Dear Kyousuke Kazuo-kun.
You are no longer assigned to the Main Academy Building, but rather, to the new one next to it. Please enjoy it as you are now placed in a special program!
…
"New building?" I mused. "I don't see- Oooohhh…."
I eyed the 'new building'. It was like, on the other side of the entire Academy ground, there was like a huge gap at the size of several football field between the Main Academy Building and the New One!
What's worse, the damn building looks rundown!
…
…
…
Wait a minute…was that the abandoned building that was shut down last year?
"Kishishishi…" The short boy next to me sneered and opts a smug face. "Trash needs to know where they belong!"
You know appearance sure can be deceiving…
Groaning, I walked towards the 'New School Building' and after a slightly longer walk than usual, I stood in front of the building. It was lucky enough to still be standing, it honestly looks even more abandoned than 'New'.
The building was still large, but rundown. The roof merely covered most of the building where some part didn't even had a roof! The new place had a their own running field which looks like a graveyard, a sports building which had no roof whatsoever and almost all the floors had no windows!
…
…
…
Eh, it's just like Downtown. I was about to inspect the place when-
"Hi there!"
"Gyah?!"
Kyousuke flinched and lets out amanly scream as a girl popped out behind him. Her waist length silver hair fluttered around as her yellow eyes gazed at Kyousuke. A small top hat was seen on the left side of her head, while the opposite side lies a small bat wing.
She wore the standard Academy uniform for female which consist of a black zipped up jacket with a collar with white outline on the edges, with long sleeves and has a white armband on the left or right arm, added along with white gloves and a checkered skirt with the colour grey and black.
The girl giggled and scanned Kyousuke a bit. Slightly messy and un-kept black hair was seen with dark blue eyes. He wore the male Academy uniform, which looked exactly the same as the female one though the skirt is replaced with trousers, and he had his zipped up jacket open, revealing a black shirt within.
Anyway, Kyousuke placed a hand on his chest and heaved. "D-Damn it don't do that!"
"Heeheee…"
"Don't 'heehee' me!"
"Sorry!" The girl chirped and scratched her head. "But…err…is this where the special program take place?"
"Uuh…I think this is where they dump unwanted students or something…" Kyousuke deadpans with a sigh. "At any rate, the names Kyousuke Kazuo, nice to meet you."
"Ah!" The girl chirped before twirling around and struck a pose. "I am Miura Kanzaki, nice to meet you!"
"Miura-san." Kyosuke greeted with a polite bow, before looking up at the rundown building. "Should we go in?"
"Mmm…I think-"
ZA-SHING!
"Oh!" Miura exclaims as a purple magic crest appeared before them and-
"Oof?!"
A person dropped out. As the person smacked to the ground, Kyousuke winced. A boy, he slowly stood up and huffed. Black hair rested on his shoulders with an ahoge sitting atop his head. His purple eyes blinked rapidly with a small beauty mark beneath his right eye.
He wore the Academy uniform normally but had a black cloak draped over his shoulders with a high collar and wore a black police hat.
Kyousuke blinked at the boy and said, "Taichi?"
"Eh? You know him?" Miura questions as the boy quickly raised himself.
"T-Taichi Hinata reporting for duty!" Taichi greets aloud. "A-And I'm here to pick you up!"
"…Dude…wrong line."
"Eh? Did it sound misleading?"
"It did!" Miura giggled prompting Taichi to rapidly bow.
"I-I'm so sorry! Please forgive my insolent behavior!"
"It's fine. I'm Miura Kanzaki, nice to meet you."
"L-Likewise…"
Kyousuke eyes his surrounding and said, "So…uuh…Taichi. What's going on here?"
"T-That's why I'm here! Um…follow me!" Taichi quickly said and walked into the run down building. Kyousuke and Miura eyes each other, a small look of uncertainty was in their eyes before the latter shrugged.
"Nothing could possibly go wrong!"
Taichi led us around the messy hallways, and truth to be told, the inside seemed more…green. Moss were growing but it didn't look dirty at all…kinda like as if someone was actually taking care of this place. The moss itself adds a certain charm to this place.
Anyway, we were eventually led to the…second floor of this place where we came into another hallway, but this time, it looked a bit more neat. The moss wasn't there much, only on the walls and had some lights lit on.
Taichi led us to a door at the end of the hall where he slowly knocked on the door. "Um…Taichi speaking. I've brought the last of our batch."
Slowly, Taichi slid opened the doors as we walked into the…um…'classroom'. Well honestly it can't be described as one! Fortunately, the room had windows and was quite spacious seeing as there was no desks or chairs.
The desks instead was gathered directly at the back of the room, neatly stacked. The chairs were also neatly arranged at the back yet four chairs were in use. At the opposite side lies a rundown chalkboard and nearby lies a…comfy looking chair shaped like a throne. Nearby was a small lamp while directly in the middle of this room was a barrel with a fire, similar to what homeless people uses.
Oh, and don't forget, including me, Miura and Taichi, there was only a total of twelve people within the room. "What the fuck?" I couldn't help but say my opinion. "This place looks like Downtown!"
"It's like we never left yeah?" A male voice mused nearby. I turned my head to the side as a male with silver hair and magenta coloured eyes grinned at me, his sharp teeth similar to that of a shark was seen. He wore the Academy uniform loose like mine with the sleeves rolled up and a white shirt was seen within.
"This our life now. Deal with it." The boy cackled and pointed at the chalkboard. "There's our duty list there. Go check it out…Vice!"
"?"
I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow before walking towards the chalkboard where a paper was seen, in it was names…with…duties?

…Huh? This looks suspicious as hell! Who in the hell wrote this suspicious paper?! As I eyed the silver haired guy, he grinned and gave a salute. "Welcome Vice! I am Asuka Kuro, but please, call me Kuro. I really hate formalities."
"Ooooooh! A chef!" Miura chirped. "I don't know if my cooking can satisfy everyone!"
"You're okay with this?!" I retort as the girl shrugged.
"Eh."
"Don't 'Eh' me! We're totally assigned to a job without our consent!"
"Actually…" A voice interrupted. "It's needed. It's pretty much obvious that we were purposely placed here. We are all from Downtown yes?"
I turned to the source of the voice and eyed one of the four people sitting on the chair. She was a head shorter than me, and had dark skin. She had her waist length blonde hair loose as her piercing blue eyes was behind black framed glasses. Oh and she didn't wear the Academy Uniform properly as the black jacket was wrapped around her waist, so above she wore a buttoned up white shirt with a black ribbon securing it.
"And…you are?"
"Assigned Secretary, Senjou Himawari. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance. " Senjou said politely, before opting a more serious tone. "Are you from Downtown?"
"Same here." I admit with a raised arm. "Although I do wonder why did they put us in a separate place? We were in the Main Building for our First Year!"
"That's because those uptight rich ass hats hates us." Kuro said in a nonchalant manner, before eyeing a girl nearby. "Aren't I right Shiro?"
Nearby was a girl having a striking resemblance to Kuro, although it could be considered his female version. Her silver hair reached just below her shoulder blades and was a bit spiky, and has same coloured magenta eyes. She wore the uniform properly unlike her…brother.
"Yes…you are." She said in a more serious tone. "Although Nii-chan could take this situation more seriously."
"But please Vice! Go on take a sit and let us commence a proper greeting!" Kuro said with a grin before gesturing me to the nearby couch. Miura opts to take a chair from the back of the room as Taichi and I sat on the couch.
"Hmm…" A nearby boy eyes me intently. "This guy…he looks like a Level One!"
"Uuh…what?"
"Those of the lower level are not deemed fit to survive in this world!" The boy exclaims as his crimson red eyes shined with spirit and passion within them. He slicked his red coloured hair with streaks of yellow at the tips backward as he eyed me. White frame glasses was seen and a single ear piercing to his right ear was seen as he smirked at me.
"So…do tell…Level One. How are you able to attain the position of the Second in Command while *I* am stuck with the Budget Duty?!"
As he fumes, I couldn't help but notice his uniform was pure white in colour contrast to everyone here. "Pathetic." A voice was heard. "Hifumi-kun is pathetic."
"Why you-…!" Hifumi grits his teeth and eyed one of the people sitting on the chair. What struck odd was that this person stood on the chair instead of sitting it. An empty and stoic expression was seen as her grey eyes gazed at everyone. Her ankle length grey hair was set loose with a small braid near her head.
She wore the uniform normally save for the skirt which was a long skirt, covering her legs and stopped at her ankles, finally, atop her head lies a black coloured rabbit ears (?) And clutched a black stuffed rabbit.
She sets her gaze at me and said, "Hifumi-kun is pathetic. You are not. Therefore, you deserve to be in that position."
"I didn't do anything yet!" I exclaim as the girl ignored me entirely and eyed Hifumi.
"You are the Level One."
"Shut it Usagi!"
"Usagi-chan has…a special gift to tell ones potential. Kinda like a sixth sense." Shiro explains. "And Hifumi-kun, don't complain. It was…Kaichou's will that place us on this position."
"Kaichou?" I asked before hearing a laugh, followed by a stomp on the ground. Tilting my head to the side, I eyed the Throne where a girl was seen standing up with a smug smile etched on her face. Her knee-length dark blonde hair was wavy and tied in a very loose ponytail as her sharp gaze focuses on me, purple orbs staring.
She wore the uniform properly except she had a golden coloured crown atop her head, regal looking it was. "And…you are Aris-san I suppose?" I questioned as the girl nods her head, confirming my question.
"Correct! I am Aris Aria, the Tyrant who runs this place!"
Ah…Tyrannical Queen Aris. It was a name famous on the Academy last year actually. Known for her combat powers and haughty personality, truly fitting a 'Tyrant' as her title. Although pompous would've fitted her more…
"Kahahaha!" Aris laughed and walked towards me. "Greetings Mongrel! I believe that you will be useful to be my dog that will run this place!"
"Wow she's honest isn't she?" Kuro comments nearby as I shrugged.
"Truth to be told…" I started. "I have no idea what's going on…"
"Well…there's this new program, or so I've heard…" Aris stated and opts a thinking face. "I believe the Academy's new Principal has weeded out the students from Downtown…and it could cause us expulsion…"
"I haven't read the Academy's Rules much so can you explain?" I asked as Aris smirked.
"The Queen needn't explain to Mongrels. Galahad! Explain!"
As if on cue, one of the person sitting on the chairs stood up. Male, he had raven coloured hair which was a bit messy, and purple coloured eyes. He wore the uniform properly save for metallic greaves as it clanked when he stood up.
He had a serious expression and said, "Rule 89, Section Two, Row Number Three. In a condition when a Class's Classroom is extremely damaged or deemed unusable, students responsible for it are to be expelled."
"Geez we weren't even informed of this!" I complained as Aris merely crossed her arms. "Correct! Which is why…I will Rebel against the Academy!"
"…I don't even want to know what do you have in your head." I sighed. "We should talk to the Principal or something."
"Um…excuse me?" A voice perked up, with one of the people sitting on the chair raising their hands. Male, he had pink hair which was messy, and aqua blue eyes. He wore the uniform neatly as he said, "Err…Satoshi Nana speaking. If Aris-san-"
"Kaichou."
"Err…Kaichou. If Kaichou had…uuh…assigned us on certain position, why am I campaign manager?"
"Because we need someone to spread news of us! I wish to Rebel-"
"Talking to the Principal." I interjected earning a frown from the Tyrannical Queen.
"As I was saying, Rebelling against the Academy requires notice!" She continued, ignoring me.
"And how are you going to do that?" I asked as Aris grinned at me.
"Simple!" She said. "We invite in Downtown children to school in here!"
"…Huh?" Galahad went. "How does that help?"
"By having them school here, we will have enough people, depending on how much we have anyway, we will have enough people to fully fix this place and officially recognized as a fraternity…or even our own Club! Or even an organization!"
"Therefore showing we have what it takes to stand up for our self, and boosting the notice for Downtown." Kuro said, before laughing. "Genius!...or maybe futile. I like it!"
Humph…as expected of a Tyrant yet I still don't find the benefit of it. Downtown is Downtown. There are certain charms into it yet I still don't see how this 'Rebels' against the Academy. Sure its making a big move on our side, or even the first one but…
"It takes too much effort and resource." I mused and leaned back at the couch. "I don't see how this will benefit us…in the long run. Even if we go successful, we will be bugged, or even disturbed in the long run."
"Yet this will help us indeed! Don't you think helping the citizens of our home is good?" Aris exclaims with a determined grinned.
Ugh…I sighed and said, "Troublesome woman."
"And you'll be the Mongrel right by my side to fix me onto a straight path!"
"Question. Why me as the Vice?"
"Because I drew your name from a bowl."
"You decided our jobs by a self made lottery?!"
"It fits doesn't it?"
"Answer the question!"
"Moving on…"
"You're ignoring me!"
Aris laughed in a mad manner before eyeing a girl sitting on the chair. She had long ankle length brown hair and bright blue eyes. She adorned a kimono instead if a uniform, light yellow, almost white in colour with lots of detailed and beautiful marks on it. The waist had a black sash secured with a gold bow.
"Ginbei!"
"Y-Yes?!" The girl quickly stood up and eyes Aris. The latter nods and said, "It seems our assigned Sensei isn't here yet. Take the Mongrel-"
"Hey!"
"Take him to the Main Academy Building and ask the Student Council President there!"
Oh yeah…I think I forgot to mention this but the Student Council President holds half of the power of the entire Academy, hence, they technically serve as the third layer of power directly after the Vice Principal. Does that mean Aris now holds quarter of the power seeing as her arrival makes a shift in the balance?
Eh, ain't my problem. What my problems is whether they will start an actual rebellion or not…
The girl named 'Ginbei' fidgeted at her kimono as she and I walked outside the run down school building and made our way towards the main school. As she darts her eyes around, I couldn't help but say, "Something wrong?"
"Ah!" She yelped in surprise, before she slowly lowers her head. "U-Um…i-it's nothing."
And if someone who looks nervous as butt, fidgeting their clothes and wasn't focusing on the eyes not to mention looking anxious, then they must be fine. Yep. No problem at all…no…problem…
My ass.
"You're nervous." I pointed out causing her to slowly cover her face with the sleeves of her kimono. "I-I'm so sorry…"
"I…didn't do anything?"
"I'm sorry for making you misunderstand me!"
…
…
…
"Err…okay?"
"…" She went, becoming quiet again. Of course, I wasn't the one to stick my nose all the time so I just let her run off in her own silence world. Suffice to say, an awkward silence soon occurred, before I scratched my head.
"Kyousuke Kazuo."
"E-Eh?"
"That's my name. What's yours? I know the list our retarded, self de-facto leader made stated all name but I guess I haven't properly introduce myself…"
That and trying to get rid of the awkward silence.
"O-Oh…" Ginbei halted herself, the traditional heels clacking by her feet as she did that. "U-Um…I'm G-Ginbei Shiki. N-Nice to meet you…"
"Likewise."
"…"
"…"
"Oh…uuh…we arrived!" I quickly diverged from what could be an awkward silence again as I pointed at the main school building which was still fifty meters away. Ginbei slowly down casts her head again as she fidgeted with her kimono.
"Y-Yes…"
Dude. Not cool.
And yet…I didn't do anything that time!
We actually race walked towards the building to rid of the awkward moment before swiftly arriving at the door steps of the large building. Some other students nearby looked at us as if we're pests of sorts, which Ginbei visibly feel disturbed by.
"Let's just get this quickly done yeah?"
"Y-Yes…"
We made our way into the building and coming into view was much more fancy comparing to the run down building. We made our way through some halls which I still barely memorize despite being here for over a year, before we arrived at a fancy looking oak doors.
Of course, before any of us could do anything, a girl bursts through out of the room, crying followed by a shout-
"And if I see you getting an 'F' again, you are expelled from this place!"
Sheesh…what a nut crack. Ginbei blinked in surprise as she slowly eyed me. Despite merely casting a glance, I could tell she screamed off fear as of now. Sighing, I said, "I'll just take the initiative…" before pushing the doors open
And believe me, an 'Office' would merely put shame to this room. It looked more of what a leader of an entire nation uses for their office. Fancy shamncy furniture's which looked expensive as butt and a large round table where several people sat.
However, one of them took notice of us. It was at this point I should explain what I noticed. Their uniform was pure white in colour, similar design yet a different colour palette from ours, which I would assume how this place differentiate between us and them.
Anyway, a male with dark green hair and yellow eyes gazed at us and said, "It's the Special Program…"
"Hah!" A blonde boy scoffed. "What the hell are they doing here?! Their very sight is a sin itself!"
"Dude." I called out. "That was un called for."
"Hmph." A dark blue haired boy with crimson red eyes huffed. "What are you doing here?"
"Well we're still awaiting our assigned Sensei?" I questioned, before the dark blue haired boy opts a raised eyebrow. "Mary-san? She's not there yet?"
"Uuh…no-"
"Gawawawa! I-I'm so sorry I'm late!" Came in a feminine voice followed by someone bumping behind me. "Gwoh?!" The person reeled back and fell on her back. Ginbei winced at the sound of a body hitting the hard floor, before I turned around to see a girl clutching her head in pain.
She had an albino pale complexion, with her hip length hair which was wavy. She opened her pink coloured eyes as she stood up, a light blue dress with the sleeved rolled up was seen, added along she wore a white apron and wore loose brown boots.
"S-Sorry!" The girl rapidly apologized. Hmm…this girl…
Mary Antoinette. She is, as her name stated, is a direct descendant to the famous Marie Antoinette. If I recall, she held the highest score in terms of academics despite her young age…save for her timid personality.
"Mary. You're late." The dark blue haired boy mused as Mary went past by me and rapidly bow again.
"I-I'm so sorry-"
"Don't be. Feel happy actually…"
"Eh?"
"You're being assigned towards the New Academy Building as the Head Teacher in there."
"I am?"
"Therefore, we revoke your status as a Council Member."
Mary twirled her hair as she rubbed her foot with her other one, a sheepish smile formed on her face. "A-A Sensei huh? Heehee…I don't mind…"
If you would only know…
"As a Sensei…to the Special Program."
Mary froze. Her body went stiff as she tilt her head. "Eh?"
Now…I have seen people shocked, sad and cry, or happy, angry and all sorts of emotion…but have you see someone like that…all at the same time?
"W-Well…I don't mind being a teacher!" She was optimistic and happy.
"B-But…like this?" And now she's being sad.
"I-I don't think I can live up to this." Aaaaand she's being pessimistic.
"So why?! I-I thought I worked hard and deserved this?!" And now she's angry.
"J-Just because came from Downtown doesn't mean I should be treated like this! But…this place needs all the help they need…" And now she's being sympathetic.
"…Aauu…" And now she's crying.
The sight of Mary rapidly changing her mood made Ginbei stepped back a bit, slightly scared at the shorter girl. Quickly, Mary down casts her head and groaned. "I-I suppose I'll do my best…" Mary laments as she eyed the rundown building.
Man…I feel sorry for her honestly. For someone who was so good within the Academy and treated special only to be dumped like this?
Well…I couldn't say I understand her but I do feel sorry for her.
The three of us made our way to the classroom once more, before entering where I saw Aris staring outside the window, before turning around to face us. "You're back!"
"A-And we have Sensei with us…" Ginbei meekly said before sitting back on a nearby chair. I entered in with Mary following me before she scanned the room, and then gasped. "T-This classroom…i-it's a-"
"A charming place? Yeah we know." Kuro snickered nearby. "And…you are Sensei I presume?"
"Y-Yes!" Mary quickly stood straight and went stiff. "I-I'm Mary Antoinette! As of today I am your assigned Teacher!"
"Hello Sensei!" Kuro teased as Mary lowers her head again. "I-I don't think I'm qualified to be a really useful teacher, s-so you may call me M-Mary…or…Albino trash…or whatever-"
"Hah!" Aris laughed. "Perfect! Now we have enough people to start a rebellion!"
Ugh…this again. "I don't see how this would work."
"Then believe me Mongrel…I will take over this school by a storm!"
"Try to see things in a more…logical side of manner…"
"Hahaha!" Aris laughed and ignored me entirely. Honestly I couldn't be bothered as I took a sit nearby with Mary next to me. "Um…" Mary whispered towards me. "I-Is she serious?"
"I doubt so."
"R-Really? Because s-she looks dead on serious…"
"Hah! Mary-san…I suggest you place your faith in me. I don't merely wish to rebel for power…I want to make us noticed!"
"Heh?" Mary went, confused as Aris opts a smirk. "As of today, marks the beginning of our reign! We shall crush those who oppose us, and step above others! My goal…is to make this place better and us recognized!"
It didn't occur to me how serious she was until later…but for now, she…no…we…are but a small fish in a group of large fish in a vast sea. Of course, how far we'll go…is another story. And thus…starts the first day of my second year in this Academy.
"First order of businesses…let us arrange our timetables and schedules!"
"Urf…" I groaned as I did a small stretch and stood in front of the rusted elevator. It was the end of the day where I awaited to go home. Aris and Mary had set up a timetable and lessons where we will do just like a normal student within the Main Building.
The year…well…started out as bizarre but I won't complain. It's but a normal day for the citizens of Downtown. As the elevator came, I got in and-
"Ah! Hold the door please!" Came in a voice followed a me holding the door open as a person swiftly entered. It was Mary. She would have entered normally if she wasn't propelling herself, promoting her to trip and fell in.
"Uuh…you alright?" I mused as Mary quickly stood up, brushing herself as she said, "Y-Yes! I am…oh…it's Kyousuke-kun…"
I closed the doors before the elevator moved down towards Downtown. "Um…you are…in Downtown?"
"Aren't we all?"
"R-Right…right…"
Hmm…was she trying to start a conversation? How polite. I couldn't help but notice her stiff shoulders as I said, "Sorry."
"Huh?"
"I came sounding off as rude. I apologize for that."
"I-It's fine!" Mary quickly assured me with a motherly tone, before opting a happier expression. "I-I'm…um…Mary Antoinette! To formally introduce myself…"
"Kyousuke Kazuo. Please to meet you."
"Likewise…" Mary replied with a small smile. A silence came again as Mary played with her skirt, obviously nervous. Is she like Ginbei? She's not good around people isn't she?
"So…"
"Y-Yes?"
"Which section of Downtown do you stay in?"
"O-Oh! Um…I stay by Kuoh Academy…"
"Huh…what are the odds. I happen to stay at the Old Building behind the Academy." I mused as Mary's eyes had a flash of curiosity, before down casting her head again. Another awkward silence occurred before we finally arrived at Downtown.
We walked together towards the Kuoh Academy building, before we diverged paths as I said, "See you tomorrow I guess…"
"Y-Yes!" Mary replied, before running off into the Academy Building. I quickly made my way towards my house where I saw it was still in tact. Oh thank you lords! As I entered the house, I saw the sight of Ophis with a bowl of cereal, absentmindedly staring at the TV, Red was by the dinner table as he played a crossword puzzle on a newspaper and Gabriel remained where she was, on the bed.
"I'm home." I greeted as Red perked his head up. "Oh? Welcome back boy…"
"Greetings." Ophis added her two cents as I sat near Red. "Had a nice first day?"
"It was…interesting." I admitted. "First day in the new year and already someone trying to spike up a self proclaimed 'Rebellion'."
"Bothersome much?"
"More like delusional. I seriously doubt on how things could work out like this." I added my comment. "But I suppose it makes things more interesting. Did you know I serve as the Vice President of my class?"
"Mm…congratulations I suppose…though I don't understand much of human social status, I heard it's a pretty important role…" Red said as I shrugged. "Eh, we were divided from the fancy people, as if we never left Downtown at all!"
"Well that's rude."
"I know right!"
"You don't sound angry."
A small smile etched to my face as I looked at the ceiling. "I get the feeling big things will rise this year."
And so, thus starts a new age. Whether it will be filled with happy moments, anger and frustration, sadness and grievance, hate and love, one can only wait to see the events that will transpire soon enough.
End of Chapter
Heeeeey folks! So like, this is a prologue for this long term story! I plan to make this in 'Light Novel' format hence they will have their own Arc, Book Title etc etc. Kinda like canon content.
Now…I know there has been a lot of information to pick up on this chapter, and certainly a butt load of question yes? Well I ain't answering them as they will be explained soon enough…in the future!
Now…let us discuss certain things regarding this story. The protagonist. As of now, there hasn't been any action scene's so we have yet to discover his power.
Oh and harem? Yes. Because it's DxD. Why not?
But I won't list them and I write romance slow as fuck, so if I were to make a list, it will be with a girl that has fully developed an interest, or my integral part, pure affection for our protagonist.
Oh and expect oc's. Like, a LOT of them, because we have lots of characters to go playing about!
Anywho, that's all I have, till then, Jibster out!
