To Be Strong

So, welcome to a gay ass shitty generic High School DxD Fanfiction where I make my OC overpowered as fuck and add to the accumulated trash that is already present. Yes, I just said that, and no, I don't care what you have to say in response. Enjoy this shitty fanfic.

. . .

For real though, working on a Vali-based Fanfiction. I might go with a time-travel one as it is, so yeah. Still experimenting and working on it.

Also, this fic is just here for entertainment purposes, like every other Fanfics. It's also here in case I magically gain any random ideas for my Vali fic.


Red

Red stained my hands. Red stained the floor. Red stained the walls. Red stained his hands, my father's hands.

"Vali…"

I murmured as I watched him walk forwards.

Dakun

"Heh?"

Uncle Rizevim?

"Vali, we have to go!"

TUG

I ran, clutching Vali's shirt tightly as we left the house. Snow slowed me down as Vali screamed.

"Okaa san…"

I wiped away my tears.

"Oi oi. Where do you think you're going?"

"I'll kill you! I'll kill both of you!"

"Vali!"

I kept running, the snowstorm growing more intense.

FFYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM

"H-Huh?"

Why can't I feel anything?

"Vali?"

"Where are you?"

"Answer m-"

Dakun

"Shiki?"

I wiped my eyes, hiding the tears before looking up from my desk.

"...Sirzechs."

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing."

. . .

Thud

My eyes widened as Sirzechs placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Are you still thinking of that?"

I shook my head.

"No, it wasn't that. I was just thinking of something."

. . .

"Take your time. I'll be waiting outside for you."

I nodded as he left the room. A sigh escaped my mouth.

I, Kurobane Shiki, am 17 years old.

You may have heard of me.

[Alright, intro over. Back to the story]

. . .


I closed the door to my room and sighed.

"Over here, Shiki."

I walked down the hallway to Sirzechs.

"From today, I want you to act as a bodyguard for Ria tan."

"Okay, so when?"

Sirzechs smiled.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will be a new student at Kuoh Academy."

I sighed.

"And why exactly am I doing this?"

"Why? I must have someone look after Ria tan as she can be quite selfish! I'm also very concerned for her as she is still new at looking after her territory and can be quite naïve a-"

"Okay okay!" I sighed. "Geeze, calm down. Information?"

Sirzechs cleared his throat. "She currently has three servants; Kiba Yuuto, Toujou Koneko and Himejima Akeno - four if you count her sealed bishop, Gasper."

I nodded.

"Alright, anything else I should know?"

"She is the founder of the Occult Research Club and is in her third year of high-school. Sona Sitri and her peerage also attend the school."

"Alright, I'll start packing."

I turned around and walked back to my room.

"Oh, Shiki?"

I looked back at Sirzechs.

"Just because you've already received an education doesn't mean you can slack off!"

Tsk

"Sure."

|High School DxD – To Be Strong|

Kuoh Academy, huh? Looks pretty average to me.

"Who's that pretty boy walking in?"

"I wonder what his name is?"

"Eeeee! Another bishounen!"

I walked in quickly, ignoring the squeals off the girls and the menacing aura some of the boys gave off. I stopped in the foyer and looked around.

The school seemed pretty nice. Everything was made of elegant material and gave off this type of grand vibe somehow.

"Are you Kurobane Shiki?"

I looked at the woman in front of me.

"That would be me."

The woman nodded as she adjusted her glasses.

"My name is Tsubaki Shinra. Could you please follow me to the Student Council Room?"

"Yes."

I walked up the stairs and followed the student.

Soon, we stopped in front of a wooden door. I could feel her presence already.

Dakun

"I have brought him, Kaichou."

"Thank you Tsubaki."

I stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Kurobane Shiki. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Please take a seat."

I sat down in the chair and placed my bag on my lap. I looked at Sona across the desk.

"Do you know who I am, Kurobane kun?"

"Please, Kuro will do," I said calmly. "And yes, I do. You are Shitori Sona san."

Sona nodded. "Very well. Do you know where your classroom is?"

"Yes."

"Very well. You are dismissed."

I nodded and stood up.

"Please abide by the school rules, Kuro kun."

"Of course, Shitori san."

I walked out of the room and closed the door.

Heh, so this is the current Sitri heir? So much potential in her.

I felt more demonic presences appear in the room as I walked away.

Interesting…

|High School DxD – To Be Strong|

I waited patiently outside of my classroom.

Dakun

"Here is your new transfer student. Please introduce yourself."

I nodded at my new teach as I walked up to the chalkboard. I picked up the chalk and wrote my name on the board before turning around.

"Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you all," I said. "My name is Kurobane Shiki. I hope we all get along."

I bowed.

And waited.

SQUEAL

There it is.

"You can have that seat in the middle, Kurobane kun," the teacher said as I walked over. As I sat down, I felt everyone look at me as the teach began to write on the board.

Of course, I was only focused on one person in the room.

Rias Gremory.

So this is Sirzechs' younger sister?

This is somewhat disappointing.

|High School DxD - To Be Strong|

The day passed without trouble and I had gathered plenty of information from the female population. Kuoh Academy used to be an all-girls academy until they allowed the male population to join as well. The male-female ratio is 1:4, and most of the males are perverts. Kiba Yuuto, Rias Gremory's servant, is considered the [Prince of Kuoh], and Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki are considered the [Four Great Onee-Sama's of Kuoh]. I couldn't care less for their titles, but every piece of information is important.

I sighed.

I'm surprised no one has found out about the supernatural world just by being around them. Their demonic auras aren't suppressed, though it explains their massive popularity.

…no, that doesn't make sense. Oh well, I'll figure it out later.

SHHIINN

| Shiki kun? |

"Yo."

| How was your first day? |

"Pretty meh. I met with Sona and saw Rias. Nothing else."

| Hmm, I see. Have you told them that you're a devil? |

"Not yet. I don't plan on it until I have to."

| Alright. Well, I've got to go. I'll call you if something urgent pops up |

"Alright. Seeya Sirzechs"

| Bye Shiki |

SHHIIINN

Well, that's that. I'm tired.

|High School DxD – To Be Strong |

Another school day done and dusted. I should probably go talk to Rias,

"Excuse me, do you know where the Occult Research Club Room is?"

The girl stopped and blushed as she saw me.

"T-The Occult Research Club?"

I nodded. "Yes. I was curious about what they did."

"I see. Do you know where the old school building is?"

I nodded.

"The club room is in there."

"Thank you very much, Miss-?"

"M-My name is Yuuki!"

I smiled. "Thank you very much, Yuuki san. Sorry for bothering you."

I walked away as the girl stood there.

Alright Rias Gremory, let's see how powerful your peerage is.

|High School DxD - To Be Strong|

I walked into the old school building and smiled. The whole place was very fancy and gave off this old royal feeling.

I like it.

I stopped in front of the door.

Knock

Knock

Dakun

"Hello, welcome to the Occult Research Club," a student with blonde hair said. "Is there something I can assist you with?"

"I was hoping to speak to your Buchou, Gremory san? She's in my class and I was interested in the club."

The blonde nodded. "She's currently not here, but you're welcome to come inside and wait for her."

"Thank you."

I stepped into the room and looked around.

Yep, this gives off an old-royal vibe to me.

"Ufufufu, who is this?"

I glanced at the source of noise.

Black hair tied up in a ponytail, large bust and somewhat tall.

"It's very nice to have the chance to talk to you, Himejima san," I said as I gave a small bow. "I never got the chance to speak to you in class."

The [Queen] of Rias smiled.

"You can just call me Akeno, Kurobane kun."

"Kuro will do, Akeno san."

I sat down on one of the chairs.

"Would you like coffee or tea, Kuro kun?"

"A cup of green tea if it isn't too much."

Akeno nodded and walked away as I glanced to my side.

Toujou Koneko, [Rook] of Rias.

I nodded at Koneko as she looked at me before looking away.

"So, Kuro senpai, how did you hear of our club?"

I looked at Kiba. "One of the students in my class brought it up yesterday. I got curious and asked somebody then made my way here."

"I see. Do you have an interest in the supernatural world, Kuro senpai?"

I nodded. "I enjoy reading about the Norse and Greek Mythology, and I've looked into other mythologies as well. I enjoy Christian Mythology the most out of all of them."

I watched as Kiba nodded as he settled into the chair across me.

"How much do you know about the Christian Pantheon, Kuro senpai?"

I smirked. "I'd say that I know more then you."

"Really? Would you care to indulge me?"

Tsk, that damn smile. Too blinding and fake, I don't like it. Still, makes sense why all the girls love him.

I smiled back. "Of course. Where would you like to start?"

Dakun

"Looks like it'll have to wait." Kiba stood up and looked at the door. "Buchou, we have a visitor."

I stood up and turned to face Rias.

"Hello Gremory san, it's nice to finally talk to you." I gave a little bow.

"Kurobane kun?"

I nodded.

"I never had the chance to talk to you after class due to some problems," I said as Akeno walked back in, a tray with tea and snacks loaded on top. I sat back down and accepted the tea.

"Is that so?" Rias murmured before shaking her head. "Sorry, I just had something on my mind."

"That's fine," I said, taking a sip of my tea. "This is very good, Akeno san."

"Thank you, Kuro kun."

I gave her a small smile as Rias sat down at what I'm assuming is her desk.

"So, why did you come to visit, Kurobane kun?" She asked as Akeno poured her some tea.

"Kuro will do," I said as I sat my cup down. "The reason I came here is to request something of you."

"And that is?"

"Would I be able to join the Occult Research Club, Gremory san?"

I gave a small bow from where I sat.

"Do you have any idea what we do here, Kuro kun?"

I straightened up and nodded.

"This club revolves around anything about the supernatural world, correct?"

Rias nodded.

"Then I feel like this is the club for me," I said. "I've always enjoyed the supernatural and I enjoy various ranges of mythologies. You could even say that I'm an expert on some."

"Is that so?"

I could hear the smirk in her voice without looking.

"I believe so, Gremory san. I was about to tell Kiba kun here about the Christian Mythology. It's by far one of my favourite Pantheon's to research."

I drank a large portion of my tea as I glanced at the wall.

"It seems I've overstayed my visit." I stood up and bowed to Akeno and Kiba. "Thank you for your hospitality, Akeno san, Kiba kun." I glanced at Koneko and merely smiled and nodded. I looked at Rias. "I hope you think of my request, Gremory san. I'll see you tomorrow."

I walked out of the room and the moment the door shut behind me, I felt a powerful aura teleport into club room behind me. It was followed by more auras and I sighed.

That must be Raiser, trying to coax Rias into the engagement.

Nothing I can do. Sirzechs told me to not interfere unless necessary.

Sigh

I should probably report back in to Sirzechs once I get home.

Ting

Already have her familiar watching me? Oh well. Looks like another night doing nothing.

|High School DxD – To Be Strong|

"Weeks have passed and Rias finally let me join her club. She also doesn't suspect me of being a devil yet, so there's that too."

"I see." I watched Sirzechs sigh as he signed another document before moving onto another. "Anything else?"

"Apart from her familiar stalking me from time to time, nothing else," I said. "Though, I do believe she has eyes on a potential new member for her peerage."

"Really?" I could see the gleam in Sirzechs eyes. "Do you anything about him or her?"

I nodded. "His name is Issei Hyoudou and is currently part of the [Perverted Trio] at Kuoh Academy. As of now, I haven't identified if there's anything special about him, but I do know that he has a sacred gear."

"...interesting..."

Another document signed before Sirzechs stood up.

"Care for a walk?"

"If the Satan himself wishes so, then it will be my honour."

Sirzechs smiled as I bowed.

We walked out of his study and made our way down the hallway.

"So, anything else about this Issei?"

I shook my head.. "Unfortunately, no. However, I have some bad news as well."

"What would that be?"

I frowned. "Three fallen angels were spotted in Rias' territory yesterday. It isn't clear if they are on official business or causing trouble."

We walked through a door into a colosseum-type area.

"What's that Azazel doing," Sirzechs muttered as we stopped in the center.

"I believe that he learnt that a new sacred gear has emerged," I said as I pulled off my school blazer. I tossed it aside. "You know how he is with sacred gears."

"Very true." Sirzechs unbuttoned the first few buttons at the top of his shirt before letting his jacket fall to the floor. "Enough of this. How was your first couple of days of normal school?"

"Fantastic," I said dryly as I began to stretch.

One, two, three, four.

"I've already been labelled as a Bishounen by the female populace and have no time to train anymore."

"Nonsense," Sirzechs said as he began stretching.

Five, six, seven and eight.

"You've already finished your work for school and probably began scouting out the whole area. You most likely know as much as Ria tan, if not more about Kuoh already."

"To say that I'm superior to all the devils there would be an understatement," I said as I applied gravity weights over my body. "I am vastly superior in intellect, strength and spirit."

"And yet you hide it behind this cool, respectful mask," Sirzechs replied. "You should let loose and be yourself sometimes."

I shook my head. "And turn out like that crow? I'm fine as I am now. Besides, only a few people can get my blood pumping these days."

Sirzechs smirked as his aura intensified.

"I hope that I am one of those people, Shiki."

I smirked back. "We'll soon find out."
