Chapter II – New Life in Japan
RIIIING! RIIIING!
"Ugh…" A groan erupted from under the covers as the phone kept blaring its infernal alarm.
RIIIING! RIIIING!
A groggy hand tried and clumsily to reach that blasted alarm. But that thing just kept coming! Whoever was under those covers was really not in the mood for this as the sounds of growling could be heard.
"Jævla alarm...!" ("Fucking alarm…!") A clearly irritated voice growled, unable to stop the damn noise!
Just as he was about to smash his fist down on it – iPhone 7 plus be damned – he got lucky and somehow pressed the snooze button. That was preferable as he didn't want to go through all the trouble to buy a new phone.
With the alarm finally silenced the outstretched arm fell to the bedside. Normally, this would be his free day, but…he had to attend to school…dritt. ("…shit.)
The bed covers began to rustle and move about as the person began to rise up from his very comfortable bed. Soon, the covers were removed to reveal a young man by the looks of it, but who was another question as his face was covered by frizzy black hair.
Sitting up slowly, the young man gave a silent but big yawn as he stretched his body of any stiff spots…and he had quite a few of them. 'Ahh…that hit the spot…' He moaned appreciatively as his body produced several satisfying pops.
Giving out a deep breath, he grabbed his phone to check the time. Pressing the home button, the home screen came on but he winced and averted his eyes with a groan, his eyes not having adjusted to the brightness.
Once his eyes were the least bit adapted to the light, he looked at the time. He groaned…it was four thirty in the damn morning. Let it be known that Kyuren was not a morning person even if he does wake up this early in the morning. It's complicated like that.
Well…no time to waste…he had some training to do before he went to school…at around ten so he had plenty of time to train.
The young man looked outside of his bedroom window and saw that it was still dark out, but the city lights were shining a bright as ever. He briefly wondered how people sleep with all the lights on.
Looking over to his side, he saw his kitten sleeping soundly on the pillow and couldn't help but chuckle. The hairless kitten was extremely cute when she sleeps…until she was the one who was waking him up. That usually ends up him being scratched to hell.
He could still remember the time when Pip had jumped on his face one morning and relentlessly and mercilessly tried to claw his face off. He could've sworn that devil dressed as a kitten was laughing on the inside, reveling in his discomfort.
Shaking that thought away, he gave a gentle and affectionate scratch to her ear which made her purr and placed a blanket over her to keep her warm to ward off the cold.
Turning his body to the edge of the edge of the bed, his feet planted to the cold floor and walked to the washroom. He switched the lights on and the whole room was illuminated.
The washroom was…adequate for him. The wall and floors were tiled with expensive looking and shiny marble, a big bath tub was situated in the far corner, and a shower was at the side.
He went towards the sink and turned on the faucet, time for a little splash of cold water to get the old nerve back into gear. After splashing ice cold water onto his face several times, he turned off the faucet and grabbed a towel that was hanging off the rack and gave himself a quick wipe.
"Hah, that's better." He sighed and looked at himself in the mirror. This was Kyuren Kaizer Avynzen, or rather Kyuren for short. He was a tall young man, standing at around five foot ten inches, and had a body most other men would kill for.
His muscles were very pronounced and developed, but not to the point where they were huge. Kyuren's physique was more intoned with being a gymnast and a martial artist than a muscle bound body builder.
His skin was very pale and had a number of scars from when he began training in martial arts and other injuries he may have sustained over the years but the scar that mattered most to him was the one on his neck. Though it had mostly healed, that particular scar was still very pronounced.
Tilting his head up a bit, Kyuren traced his fingers over its entire length. He got this when he was only five years old and though he could vaguely remember what had happened that day, he knew that what caused this scar tore his neck open.
Shaking his head, Kyuren finished his morning ritual before he slung the towel over his shoulders and went back to his room.
Turning on the light, Kyuren took out some off his workout clothes from the cabinet. He had already unpacked yesterday because as much as he wanted not to do it, it was better to start rather than put it off like his old man would do.
Tossing some Nike bike shorts, a Nike tank top, and some running shoes. He could've gotten some better training clothes but this was all he had at the moment and he was too busy – lazy – to go out and hunt down a sport's store.
Too much work.
Donning his training clothes and discarding his sleepwear, Kyuren gave one last look at his kitten to see she was still sleeping…which she was. 'I swear…that cat can sleep through a nuke and an earthquake but when I wake her up, she's like a she devil when I do that.'
Shaking his head, dismissing those thoughts for now, Kyuren went outside his room and gently closed the door lest that devil cat brings her wrath down upon him. He didn't want that…he liked the way his face looked, thank you very much.
Coming to a stop to a dark stairwell, he looked at the darkness and smirked. 'This shit does not get old.' He chuckled gleefully to himself and cleared his throat.
"Let there be light." He said with a clap of his hand and the whole penthouse lit up like a Christmas tree.
All in all, Kyuren could definitely say that he could enjoy living here. The interior design had a certain relaxing aura to it and the floors were made with traditional Japanese wood with high quality lacquer. The appliances were all top of the line with today's standards.
The living room was very spacious and had a big sofa that can be converted to a bed, a fire place, and a seventy-inch plasma screen TV. The kitchen was fully stocked and well equipped should he ever felt the need to experiment and cook something.
And then there was his own personal gym. It wasn't as big as the hotel gym but it suited his need and more.
The best part is…this was all his!
Coming down the stairs, Kyuren made his way towards the kitchen first to get some fuel in the engine before starting his daily rounds of training. If his father had found out that he was slacking off…he shuddered to think what might happen to him.
His mother may have a huge temper, but that paled in comparison to his father. That man can explode in spectacular and explosive fashion.
"Whelp, he won't get me here." He chuckled. "Right?"
After finishing his little snack – an energy bar – Kyuren went ahead and entered his personal gym. Setting down the towel he brought and phone, which he set the alarm to go off at exactly eight, on the bench, he gave his body a few stretches to limber up.
He can't have his muscles cramping up on him.
Once he was all limbered up, Kyuren stood straight and let himself fall down. Just until his face was about to kiss the floor, he arms shot out and absorbed the impact and he began doing push ups.
This was his training regimen in the beginning. 'I'll never get tired of this.' He grinned to himself.
"ONE HUNDRED PUSH-UPS! ONE HUNDRED SIT-UPS! ONE HUNDRED SQUATS! THEN A TEN KILOMETER RUN! EVERY! SINGLE! DAY!"
RIIIING! RIIIING!
"HAH!" Kyuren delivered one last powerful kick to the air before going towards the bench and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel while the alarm was still going on.
RIIIING! RIIIING!
"Greit, greit." ("All right, all right.") Kyuren said as he wiped some of the sweat from his forehead. He reached for it and hit the alarm off and looked at the time. Eight o'clock.
"Well, that concludes my training for the morning." He said to himself before going out of the gym and into the kitchen.
For the past four hours or so, Kyuren had been pushing himself rigorously. And his father and uncle weren't the only ones that had trained him. There were others, and even they could give those mentioned before a good run for their money.
So far, he had progressed and learned faster than any one of them could have predicted, even his father and uncle were impressed with him. Once, Kyuren was THIS close in beating his father, but he got cocky and missed a step but that just proved he was getting better and better by the day.
Grabbing a jug of ice cold water from the fridge, Kyuren leaned against the counter and drank the entire contents of the jug in one go…of course, he got brain freeze as a result.
"Ah! Son of a bitch!" He cursed as he tried to rub his head free of the pain.
"Meow." A familiar call alerted him that his cat was awake and lo and behold, there Pip was. Sitting on the counter, eyeing her master…or rather, laughing at him if she could laugh.
"Hey, Pip." Kyuren groaned as he still felt the freezing sensation in his brain. "You hungry?"
Pip said nothing, her tail wagging back and forth slowly. This was her way of saying, GET TO IT, YOU LAZY BUM!
Kyuren chuckled and shook his head. "Fine, fine. Just give me a moment." He said before going about and getting that cat food he brought. "Bossy cat. I pity the unfortunate soul that will fall for you."
All he got for his mumbling was Pip jumping on his head and swatting his face with her paw.
After finding Pip's breakfast, Kyuren grabbed a bowl and poured some cat food onto it and the kitten wasted no time chowing down on it.
"Finish it all, I got take a shower." He said, going upstairs to clean up his sweaty exterior.
Entering his room, Kyuren took off all of his clothes and threw them into the laundry bin. He took a fresh towel from the drawers and wrapped it around his waist to preserve his dignity and went into the bathroom for a relaxing shower.
After a quick and refreshing shower, Kyuren came out of the bathroom, dripping wet and went towards the cabinets to get his uniform. Fishing it out, he placed it on the bed and went to get some underwear.
Putting on a pair of boxers, Kyuren went over and gave his new uniform a once over. The Kuoh Academy boys' uniforms consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, and matching black pants.
"Well…it will have to do." He said to himself, but really, Kyuren would've preferred something a little conservative. But you take what you can get.
A few minutes later, Kyuren donned the last of his uniform and looked at himself with the full body mirror. Well, at least it looked good on him but he made a few changes. The last button of his shirt was undone because it was a little tight and that silly little ribbon…he just looked dumb with it so he put it back in the bag.
The outfit was good, but Kyuren felt he was missing something. "Oh, that's right!" He snapped his fingers and grabbed his overcoat and put it on and wrapped his scarf around his neck. "Now that's more like it."
Finally satisfied with his appearance, Kyuren checked his phone for the time. It was about 8:30…plenty of time for breakfast!
Coming down the stairs, Kyuren made his way to the kitchen to get some food. 'Cereal would do for today.' He thought. Opening the cupboards, he grabbed the box of cereal and grabbed a bowl too. He placed those on the counter and went to get some milk from the fridge.
He looked to the floor and saw that the food he left with Pip was all gone and said kitten was lying on the floor sleeping with a noticeable bulge in her belly.
"Every time, Pip." He muttered amusedly before he focused on his own breakfast.
Pouring himself a bowl's worth of cereal and drenching it with milk, Kyuren proceeded to chow down. While he ate, he couldn't help but wonder what this new school would be like.
He didn't have much to go on since mother only gave him a brochure about said school. Kyuren only knew the basics like where the school is, the uniforms, the courses, the events, but not a whole lot else.
Oh, well. If he can survive NTNU and become one of the best there, then this little school would be no problem for him. After all, it was kind of nice getting out of Norway. It had been a long time since he had been in Japan after all.
After finishing his breakfast and placing the bowl and Pip's own in the sink, Kyuren picked up his kitten and laid her down on the couch. "And you call me a lazy bum." He snickered before he grabbed his backpack, slung it over his shoulders, and went on his way. Leaving Pip alone to peacefully snore away.
Gliding down the hallway, Kyuren headed for the elevators as he checked his phone. It was about Eight Forty-Five, still plenty of time in his book. He came to the elevators and pressed the down button. A few seconds, later, the doors opened and Kyuren stepped right in.
Placing his phone in his pocket, Kyuren took out his headphones and put it on to listen to some music while he waited to reach the bottom floor.
Floors went by as dings of the bell. It gets rather annoying since his suite was on the top floor. But thankfully, he had his headphones with him.
Once the elevator finally reached the ground floor, Kyuren made his way to the lobby where he was greeted by the staff. "Good morning, Mr. Avynzen." The receptionist, Tadashi, greeted.
"Good morning to you too, Tadashi." Kyuren greeted back.
"First day at school, sir?"
Kyuren nodded with a smile. "Yup, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go before I'm late." He turned around and continued out the door until Tadashi called back to him.
"Oh, before I forget!" Tadashi took something from his desk and flung it to Kyuren. The boy caught it easily and looked at what was the object in question in his hands.
(Play ZOIDS OST: WILD FLOWERS INSTRUMENTAL)
It was a key. He looked at Tadashi curiously and the receptionist just smiled.
"Mr. and Mrs. Avynzen said it was a gift so that you could move around the city much easier."
Smiling at what was implied; Kyuren nodded his thanks before walking outside where his gift was waiting.
Reaching the threshold of the hotel, the young Avynzen breathed in the cold air and smirked. It was polluted as fuck. But he had business to attend to first before he could complain about the environment.
Going towards the parking lot, he pressed the electronic car key and a car's beep could be could be heard. He pressed it again and there it was.
Kyuren ran towards it and couldn't help the ear splitting grin he had on his face. Before him was a 2016 model of the Ford Mustang in his favorite colors, blue and purple.
He let his hand glide over the smooth metal finish of the car and grinned in approval. He opened the driver's door, tossing his bag in, and sat in the driver's seat.
The seats were comfortable and he was extremely pleased that it was tailored to his specifications to the letter. What can Kyuren say; he was in a tech university so he tinkered a bit and got into trouble a lot for it. But he did get the data he needed for the perfect car in his eyes.
His hands drifted over the wheel in reverence before he started the engine with a roar. Kyuren was about to back it up and hit the road until he saw a note on the dashboard and some sunglasses as well.
Reaching over, he grabbed the note and shades and started reading.
Enjoy, son! Don't destroy it this time!
Love,
Your mom and dad
Kyuren smiled. "Thanks, you guys." He muttered and placed the note in the glove compartment and put on the shades. "Time to roll out…man, that was corny."
Setting the gear shift to reverse, Kyuren backed up his new car before going to drive and went on his way to his new school.
To Kuoh Academy.
Sona Sitri was not having a relatively good day. For one, had just about had it with the complaints with the Perverted Trio and the amount of grief those three were causing was enough to make her consider hunting them down herself.
It would save her a lot of time and patience and no one would know if three idiots went missing.
But…yet again, that was not an option because her friend, Rias, had her eye on Issei so she couldn't just flat out wipe him off the face of the Earth. His friends maybe but not him.
Giving out a sigh, the Sitri Heir sat by one of the benches just outside the main entrance to the Academy with two members of the Student Council/Peerage. SajiGenshirou and Tsubaki Shinra.
Saji was lounging around a tree while Tsubaki sat with her king and friend.
Saji is a young man with short blonde hair and grey eyes. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform, albeit without the blazer and his sleeves are rolled up. He also has an overall personality similar to Issei's, and is Issei's parallel in the Student Council. Or in other words, just as much a pervert a Issei is but he keeps those urges on a tight leesh.
He is also the pawn of Sona's peerage.
Tsubaki is a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees with split bangs and light brown eyes. In addition to wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, she also wears blue, semi-rimmed glasses with square lenses. Tsubaki has a serious personality very much like Sona and is rarely seen smiling. She also cares deeply for her teammates and is very loyal towards her king.
She is the queen.
Why are the three outside rather than in? Well, it has something to do with their transfer student coming in today.
The school had been notified that he had arrived yesterday and would be able to attend the next, right now. So here they were, waiting for their newest schoolmate to arrive and greet him, as is the duty of the Student Council.
"Do we really have to do this?" Sanji complained. "I mean, couldn't you have got the others to do it?"
Tsubaki looked directly at her peer mate and gave him an icy stare. "Saji, it is the Council's responsibility to introduce him to the Academy and complaining about it might send the wrong image for Kuoh. Besides that, the others have classes and could not make it. We were the only ones that were excused for this purpose."
The blonde haired boy gulped when Tsubaki leveled her stare at him. It was not as potent at Sona, but it was still potent. "W-Well, when you say it like that…." He shrugged. "All right, I get it but who is this guy anyway? You haven't really told me much."
Sona considered it for a moment before shrugging. She did not really inform the others of their new schoolmate with the exception of Tsubaki and so she gave her pawn a rundown of Kyuren.
After she was done, Saji could not help but be impressed. "Damn, that's impressive. But do you think he's one of those…you know, the ones who let these kinds of things go to their heads?"
"I hope not or it'll be extremely annoying." Sona said. She already had enough problems on her plate; she did not need any more to add to that.
While it was true that she really didn't know who this Kyuren really is, Sona couldn't help but remember what she had read on the file.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't impressed. This Kyuren Avynzen…he had quite the resume. Spent most of his life in Norway and had an advanced education in the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, one of the highest grades in his class, and the first Captain of their recently formed Martial Arts Club. And if that wasn't enough, in his tenure as the Captain, not once was he defeated and that included international competitions with some of the best competitors around the world.
Yes, this Kyuren came from a wealthy family but from his creds…he wasn't your typical rich boy. At least, that what she figured when she laid eyes on his photo. Sona did a little digging around in regards to their new schoolmate and there really wasn't that much of note actually but there was one thing that stood out.
It would appear that when he was a small child, he had an accident that literally tore his neck open. Very few had ever survived that kind of trauma and he was still just a kid then. It was nothing short of a miracle that Kyuren was still alive so Sona would expect that he would have some issues like social awkwardness and the like. After all, whatever that accident was at that age would certainly leave some mental scars.
Well, if he needed some help, he would only need to ask her and she would. As the President of the Student Council, it was Sona duty to lend a helping hand to students in need of assistance.
Just then they heard something in the distance thanks to their enhanced senses. "What's that?" Tsubaki asked as the sound drew closer.
"I don't know…but it sounds like a car." Saji replied, recognizing the sound as a car…a very powerful car at that if the roar of the engine was to go by.
"A car? You think that's him?" Tsubaki asked and not long after she said that, they could see a 2016 Ford Mustang coming towards them.
"Yup, that's got to be him all right." Saji said without any shadow of a doubt.
Kyuren was actually enjoying the drive to his new school. This Kuoh Academy was a few ways away from the main Tokyo districts but it was still near to the hotel and he kind of liked taking in the sights.
Well, there it is – his new school, Kuoh Academy. It was just like your typical all girls turned co-ed institution but he learned long ago that the appearance wasn't always the accurate way to judge things…of course, there were exceptions.
'I really do hope they have a parking lot.' He mumbled to himself because he absolutely didn't want his car to get impounded and that would mean he had to go to the impound, talk to the one in charge at said impound, pay for the fees, sign some papers. It was too much work!
And it looked like it was his lucky day; they did have a parking lot. 'Well, that makes my life easier.' Kyuren chuckled to himself and went in to park his vehicle.
By now, a number of students have gathered once they saw a purple Mustang pull up to the academy and parked in the available spaces.
"Wow, look at that."
"Who do you think owns it?"
"That thing must cost like...I don't know...a lot of money."
Murmurs had begun to circulate as the engines were shut down and the students waited to see who this newcomer was. The driver's seat door opened up and everyone waited in batted breath to see who would come out.
And when the person did came out, everybody's eyes widened in surprise...and more than a few girls gained rosy pink blushes adorning their cheeks.
Their stood what was possibly the most handsome guy they had seen. With his long black hair slightly swaying in the breeze, his black overcoat, and his scarf, it wasn't hard to guess why some girls had a hard time looking away.
The mysterious young man grabbed something from inside the car, a backpack, and slung it over his shoulders before closing the door. He raised his right hand and the car beeped once, signifying that it was locked, and began walking his way to the Academy.
Sona watched as this newcomer walked towards the entrance. She wouldn't say it out loud, but even she had to admit, she was not expecting that and the Sitri heir couldn't help but observe him.
'I have to admit…his photo doesn't do him justice.' Sona may not be as outspoken as Rias and some of her peerage, namely Akeno, but she couldn't deny that this Kyuren was good looking...a sentiment that was shared by a lot of students.
Looking at his scarf wrapped around his neck, the Sitri Heiress could only guess that was there to hide the wound on his neck. So it would seem he was affected in the long term because of that accident.
Regardless of that, Sona had to wait before she judge him outright. She can't just...how the humans say...jump the gun just yet. Yes, he was a rich boy, he had money and prestige, but he was not doing any gloating and wasn't acting like a spoiled brat.
Kuoh Academy has had its share of spoiled brats in the past. Girls and boys that bragged just about everything they do. Quite frankly, Sona had expected that to happen right now, but that didn't happen.
'Well, at least that makes him tolerable.' Sona didn't want another headache.
Kyuren continued on his way, passing by some students...mainly girls who were eyeing him up and down. Well...he appreciated the attention and it was good for his pride...but he didn't want the spotlight to shine on him for very long.
"Holy shit, would you look at him!"
"He's even more handsome that Kiba-kun!"
"Is he single?!"
More than a few girls were whispering to one another, circulating comment after comment as he went along. 'Hm, there aren't a lot of boys here.' He thought, only seeing a few males in the crowd. But that was probably so, because it was converted into a co-ed institution only recently.
Just about he was going to enter his new school, three people stood in his way. Two bespectacled girls and a blonde boy. The girls were very beautiful, and the boy…not that much intimidating. 'Hm, a welcoming committee. I'm touched.'
Sona and stood in front of their new school mate and could now get a good look at him. He was tall, by her estimates, at least six feet or close to that. He had broad shoulders, a slim frame, and his face was indeed handsome. He also had medium length black hair messily slicked back and his sunglasses covering his eyes.
Disregarding those thoughts for now, Sona gave him a small friendly smile. "Mr. Avynzen?"
Kyuren looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Yes?"
"Hilsen, jeg heter Souna Shitori. Jeg er studentrådets president. På vegne av studenthuset, ønsker vi deg velkommen til Kuoh Academy. " ("Greetings, my name is Souna Shitori. I am the Student Council President. On behalf of the student body, we welcome you to Kuoh Academy.") She and the two with her bowed.
Being a Devil, Sona had the inherent ability to understand and speak any language in the world. It was quite useful to be honest and the Sitri Heiress did not know if he could speak Japanese. The chances are high that he already knew though but she decided to play it safe.
Kyuren smirked that made some girls nearly faint. Taking off his sunglasses, he looked at this Sona. "Souna Shitori." He said in his velvety voice that definitely got a really got a reaction. He bowed his head, his smirk widening. "Go aisatsu arigatōgozaimasu."(Thank you for your greeting.")
Everyone was taken by surprise that he could speak Japanese perfectly.'Well, this makes this a whole lot easier for me.' Sona thought to herself. She expected this to happen really.
The Sitri Heiress let out a small smile. "It seems that you speak Japanese well."
Kyuren just shrugged. "Yes, I spent some time in Japan before so it comes with the territory." He chuckled and looked at the two behind Sona. "And who are these with you? Colleagues, I presume?"
Sona nodded and turned to her peer mates. "Yes, this is Tsubaki Shinra."
Tsubaki bowed and gave Kyuren a smile. She may not have liked it when he had tricked her king like that, but she had to respect that. Not many could do that. "Hello, Mr. Avynzen. I hope you have a good time at Kuoh Academy."
Kyuren jus nodded and returned the bow. "Please, just Kyuren." Tsubaki nodded.
"And this is Saji Genshirou." Sona motioned to the blonde haired boy to her left.
Saji put on a smile and raised a hand towards Kyuren. "Hi! I'm Saji. Hope we can be friends."
Kyuren stared at the outstretched hand for a few seconds before taking hold of it and giving a shake. "Pleasure's mine."
Saji smiled, satisfied with the answer he was given, and made to withdraw his hand.
"Well, now that's out of the way." Kyuren returned his gaze towards the violet eyed girl. "What's our next step?"
"We're supposed to give you a tour of the school and answer all of your questions if you have them." Sona replied. "Then we'll go to the Head's office and get you your schedule."
"…So…I don't have classes today?"
"No."
Kyuren sighed. "It would appear that I brought this bag for nothing." He grumbled, pointing at his backpack. Sona gave a smirk of her own. "Well, can't complain. Lead the way."
The Sitri heir nodded and turned on her heel towards the school with Tsubaki and Saji by her sides with Kyuren trailing not far behind with his hands in his coat pocket.
As they walked to the main building, Kyuren couldn't help but observe his surrounding…namely the uniforms. The boys' uniforms are okay; it was the girls' he quite didn't like. Their skirts came up to their upper thighs…leaving none to the imagination.
'Wow, Japan's school uniforms look nothing like what the internet says.' He thought to himself before changing his focus.
Yeah, this school is nice; he could probably warm up here. If only the other students stopped staring at him.
Kyuren could feel numerous eyes on him and it made him a little uncomfortable though he didn't show it. Back in his old school, Kyuren had a bit of problem with girls trying to hit on him.
By any means did he not appreciate it, but Kyuren wasn't ready for that big step and go into a relationship like the rest of his friends. They were all nice girls, there's no denying that, but he was just not ready.
"So how you finding Kuoh, man?" The raven haired teen looked at his left and saw that new guy, Saji, there.
"It looks pretty good." Kyuren shrugged. "But I'll reserve judgment for much later. You the old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover."."
Saji nodded slowly. "Yeah, I guess you're right about that."He looked around and saw that quite a few girls were whispering to each other and casting some subtle glances towards them – or more specifically, Kyuren. "Careful, man. It looks like you got some new admirers." The blonde whispered with a chuckle.
"Really? Well that's…flattering." Kyuren sighed that made Saji raise his eyebrow at him.
"What, you don't like girls?" He saw the raven haired teen's left eye twitch.
"If you're thinking that I'm playing for the other team, there is no where you can hide from me." Kyuren said in a calm tone that made the boy beside him gulp. "But to answer your question, I do like girls. It's just it gets annoying sometimes, you know. You can't get anything done if you're being chased by hundreds of them…okay, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration but still."
"Uhh…yeah, I see your point." Saji said awkwardly before moving on ahead.
Kyuren let out a small snicker as he watched the boy move ahead of him. Maybe this place was not so bad after all. If anything, this could be just what his therapist said he needed. Meet new people, stay somewhere that was comfortable, just take it slow.
He would've continued on with Sona leading the way until he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. Turning slightly, Kyuren saw three boys sneaking around.
'Huh, what are they up to..?' He continued to track their movements until they came up behind a building of some sorts. Focusing on the building, he saw that…it was the Kendo Club…showers.
Normally, he would just ignore this but…three perverts…and a Kendo Club…he couldn't that fun up. 'This should be good.'
"Ms. Shitori." He called and Sona looked back at him.
"Yes?"
"Would you excuse me for a second? I have to take care of some business."
Sona raised an eyebrow, wondering what business Kyuren had this early here. But she won't know until she finds out. "Of course." She nodded and Kyuren gave her a smile.
Giving a nod, Kyuren turned to his left and walked towards that direction. Sona, Tsubaki, Saji stared at his back, curious on what the man was up to.
"What do you think he's doing?" Saji asked his companions.
Tsubaki and Sona didn't have an answer about it so they just shrugged. "I don't know, but he's heading towards the Kendo Club." Tsubaki said, seeing that Kyuren was making his way the Kendo Club.
Sona kept quiet on this matter but followed Kyuren's movement. She was also curious on what he had in mind at the Kendo Club, out of all places.
Perhaps he wanted to see if he can join in the Kendo Club? Maybe but the Club was exclusively for girls. Well, whatever it was, they were going to find out anyway.
Kyuren came up to the door and knocked on it. "Anybody there?" He called out.
"Just a sec!" He heard someone call out to the other side and Kyuren waited patiently, hearing rustling from behind the door.
After a few moments, the door opened and revealed two women in their Kendo gear. One had brown hair, and the other had…pink?
Murayama and Katase heard a knock at their clubroom door and stopped with their practice for now. "What the – were we expecting someone?" Katase asked to her club mates who shrugged.
"Well, let's see who they are and what they want." Murayama removed her protective mask and went to the door with Katase not far behind.
They opened the door and were met with a surprising sight. Both girls blushed when they saw a very handsome guy at their door. 'Oh my God…he's hot!' They both thought at the same time.
"H-Hello…w-what are you doing here?" Murayama stuttered out.
"Well…" Kyuren brushed a stray lock aside that made Murayama and Katase swoon. "I just want you to know that there three peeping toms currently at the back of your building."
.
.
.
"WHAT?!" The whole Kendo Club erupted in outrage before grabbing their sticks and surging out of the building with the intent to maim the three bastards.
Kyuren wisely moved aside and let the mob of women pass him to deliver their own brand of justice on those three boys. As they ran to the back, Kyuren calmly walked back to his gracious guides. Only stopping when he heard this.
"YOU PERVERTED SONS OF BITCHES!"
"NO! PLEASE, HAVE MERCY!"
'Now that's funny.' He laughed to himself and continued walking. It is official; he was going to like it here.
Sona watched as Kyuren came back to them and at the same time, three very familiar boys were running away from the very enraged Kendo Club who was right behind them.
"Thanks for waiting for me." Kyuren said as they heard three squeals of pain that made him snicker. "Now that's funny."
"And how did telling the Kendo Club that they were being peeped on again count as your business, Mr. Avynzen?" Sona asked with a raised eyebrow.
Kyuren shrugged and gave her a mischievous smirk. "I dislike those who take advantage of a woman and besides, it's funny hearing them getting beaten to a pulp." He chuckled before he went on right ahead, leaving Sona and her group there.
'Hm, at least he is a decent fellow…in his own weird way.' Sona thought to herself.
A few hours later, Kyuren found himself on his way to the principal's office being led by Souna. For the past hours, he had been given the tour of the school's facilities and grounds.
Not that he needed it since he had the school's map in his phone, but they did not have to know that. After all, it would be very impolite. Still, though, it was a nice gesture from the Student Council President to take time of her busy schedule for this.
"Ms. Shitori, thanks for the tour." He said.
Sona did not look back at him and just kept walking. "You're welcome. It's my duty to help the Student Body."
Kyuren hummed in acknowledgement. No more words were needed to be said at this time as they said their piece.
It didn't take long for them to reach the principal's office. Sona knocked on the door and they got the permission to enter. Sona entered first followed by Kyuren into the office.
"Ah, Mr. Avynzen." A middle aged man with a noticeable bald spot on his head greeted as he stood up and held out his hand. "My name is Azama Hayate, but you may call me Mr. Azama. It's a pleasure to have you at our school."
Kyuren shook the older man's hand with a small smile and bowed. "Then you may call me Kyuren. Mr. Avynzen makes me feel old...very old."
Azama chuckled and motioned for the two to sit on the chairs. "I hope everything's to your liking here, Kyuren?"
"It is. It may take some time, but I think I'll be able to warm up here."
"That's good to hear." Azama said with a smile and turned to Sona. "I suppose that Kyuren has been a good new member of our body, Sona."
The Sitri Heir nodded. "Yes, I see no problems concerning him if he follows the rules." And she was speaking the truth. Though Kyuren may have a way of annoying someone, he was a very well behaved man and not the typical rich kid spoiled brat she had expected.
"Wonderful. Now I must admit, Kyuren. I'm a bit curious on why would you move to Kuoh Academy since you were probably doing fine back at your old University. Top student, Martial Arts Club Captain, what compelled you to move?"
Sona was also curious. According to his file, Kyuren had it all back in his homeland so why would he come here?
"Well, to be honest, it wasn't my idea in the first place." Kyuren said. "It was my mother's. She said that I needed to get out more and quite frankly, my therapists do too. So you can see, I really didn't have a choice in the matter."
Azama and Sona looked at him. "Therapists? You have issues?"
Kyuren nodded. "Yes, I had an…accident that happened when I was five years old and my parents though it was best that I receive some help." He unknowingly brought his hand up and massaged his neck.
Azama and Sona nodded. They did their research on him and understood that he had an accident from when he was very young and did not press it anymore.
Clearing his throat, Azama decided it was time to get to business. "Yes, well, in any case, here's your schedule." Azama tried to change the subject. "Even though you were very advanced in NTNU, sadly some of the subjects you completed will not be credited. You may have some catching up to do, but no doubt you'd be able to do it. "
'Aw, c'mon.' Kyuren groaned on the inside but kept his smile as he grabbed his schedule. Well, it wasn't that crowded. All of his classes start at 8:30 and end at three in the afternoon from Monday to Friday with Saturday and Sunday being his rest days. It was pretty standard so he had no complaints for that.
The subjects were not new to him to he was confident in passing them all considering he was in a tech institute before. Again, no complaints for him in that regard.
"This will do." Kyuren stated. "Are there any text books or any other requirements?"
"Text books are not really a requirement since most of our material books can be downloaded in the internet and the library's fully stocked. As for other requirements, you'll have to check in with the teachers with that."
Kyuren nodded. "Well, is there anything else?"
Azama shook his head and stood up, Kyuren and Sona following suit. "Again, it's a pleasure to have you here. I expect many things from one such as you, Kyuren."
'Oh, great. More expectations.' Kyuren grumbled but smiled all the same. "I wouldn't get my hopes up so suddenly. I'm good but not that good."
Azama chuckled. "That may be but I suppose I've taken enough of your time. See you on your first day tomorrow, Kyuren."
The raven haired teen nodded and turned on his heel together with Sona and exited the office.
Once the doors closed, Kyuren gave out a tired sigh. "Glad that's over with." He turned to Sona and smiled. "Thanks again for your time." Kyuren turned around and started making his way out. "See you around, Souna."
"Aren't you going to get lost? You have just seen the school only one time." Sona asked, more out of professionalism than actual concern.
"Nah." Kyuren held up his phone. "I got the school's map and layout in my phone. In a way, that tour was useless, but I appreciate it though." He could already see the look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Sona stood there stunned. This...this whole day she spent giving him a tour...was for nothing?! That baka asshole just wasted her day for his own amusement?!
Before Sona could give him a severe verbal lashing, she found that he was already gone. She scowled in irritation before going about the rest of her day...or what's left of it. She'd rather not spend what's left of her day on something so petty.
The Sitri heir couldn't believe it. Just as when she thought that Kyuren was an upstanding fellow, he pull this on her. She had never been so...fooled in her life! And underneath her irritation, there was also respect.
No one had ever fooled her like that. She always saw things coming, but with Kyuren, he surprised her not once, not twice, but three times.
The first was when they first met. Sona thought he was just another delinquent but he was actually a gentleman. The second was when she tried to speak his native language the. he spoke to her in perfect Japanese. And last and certainly not the least, he had her fooled the whole time when she was giving him a tour.
She could already see that bastard laughing.
But...Sona had to respect that. And though it was just for his enjoyment, Kyuren played her, not many people could do that to the Sitri Heir.
'Hm...Avynzen...you interest me.'
Sona entered the Student Council room where the rest of her peerage was. Seeing that their leader had returned, they greeted her.
"Hey, Sona. So, how'd it go?" Saji asked as Sona strode past him and sat on the chair and gave out a sigh.
Tsubaki sensed that there was something agitating her king and became curious. "Sona-sama, what's wrong? You seem agitated."
"Yes, it's because of Kyuren." Sona said with a very slight edge in her voice.
The rest of the peerage gained a curious look. Who was this Kyuren and why did Sona seem displeased with him? Saji narrowed his eyes. "What'd he do, Sona-sama? I'll smash his face in!"
"Nothing. He did absolutely nothing." Sona stated simply.
Saji along with the rest really got confused. If Sona said was true and Kyuren did nothing to incur her wrath...that means he's innocent. So what was Sona's reasoning.
"Not to sound rude, but...why are you mad with him if he didn't do anything?" Her rook, Momo Hanakai, asked.
"He didn't do it directly." Sona sighed. "Believe it or not, he's played me, Saji, and Tsubaki for fools."
"How?" Saji asked. He didn't remember Kyuren doing something suspicious...or at least...not that he was aware of.
"From the beginning, he knew exactly the school's layout inside and out. He wasted our time on that tour for nothing."
Now Saji and Tsubaki were a little mad themselves. Who does that prick think he is wasting their time?!
Sona, however, didn't know whether to antagonize the man, or respect him. True, it was a petty trick for his amusement alone, but Sona fell for it and she didn't even see it coming.
She felt so stupid for not foreseeing it, but she fell for it. Kyuren...he was something else.
"Well, it looks like you had a rough day, Sona." Someone said at the door and all eyes turned to it. It was Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.
Sona nodded. "You could say that. Rias, I'm afraid I won't be able to play our game for now. I've had a long useless day." She sighed, massaging the bridge of her nose.
This made Rias and Akeno curious. What could've agitated Sona this much in just a day? "Oh? What's wrong?"
"Hmph, some prick wasted our day giving him a tour for nothing." Saji mumbled, his arms crossed.
"And who's this prick you speak of?" Rias asked.
"Kyuren Kaizer Avynzen. The transfer student I told you about." Sona replied.
Akeno gave a grin. "Oh, you mean that eye candy with the Mustang? I have to admit, he's pretty good looking." She giggled, remembering the time she saw him walking behind Sona.
Saji nodded. "Yeah, that's the one."
"So, what did he do to earn your ire, Sona?" Rias looked at her childhood friend for an answer.
Sona looked down in shame. "...He...played me like a fool..." She admitted and both Rias and Akeno's eyes grew wide in surprise.
Rias couldn't believe it. Someone had actually outwitted Sona Sitri, one of the sharpest individuals she knew. She needed details. "Okay, what exactly happened."
Sona then told them about what had happened before right down to the principal's office where Kyuren had revealed that she had just wasted an entire day giving him a tour for nothing.
Needless to say, Rias was left speechless. Sona was a very strict and cunning person, but to be tricked by something as simple as not telling her? That was funny.
Rias and Akeno began to giggle at their fellow devil. "Sona, you fell for something that simple?"
The Sitri heir growled and adjusted her glasses. "As hard as it is to admit it, yes. I did."
"My dear friend, I'm sure that was just for fun." Rias said. "Sure, he wasted your day but at least he made quite the show with the Kendo Club."
Well, if it's one thing that made her day, it was the Perveted Trio being chased and ultimately beaten by the Kendo Club. That was one redeeming quality he had.
"But still, he wasted the day on purpose."
"And what're you going to do about it? Hunt him down and make him pay?"
Sona thought it over and shook his head. "I won't stoop to petty levels just to get even. I'm willing to overlook this if he doesn't cause any more trouble."
Rias just smiled. "Well, it's your decision. I guess we should get going." The Gremory heir stood up from her chair and she along with Akeno made her way out.
But before Rias could step outside, she stopped just by the door and looked at Sona. "You said that he outwitted you, right?" Sona nodded. "And he did it so casually, right?" Another nod and Rias gained a smirk. "Then perhaps this Kyuren character might just be your match." Rias didn't wait for a reply and went on her way, leaving Sona in surprise.
"Lucy, I'm hoooome!" Kyuren said in a sign song voice, entering his penthouse. Today was not bad at all, that Kuoh Academy had some interesting characters.
Tossing his bag onto the couch and taking off his overcoat, shoes, blazer, shirt, and socks, Kyuren crashed on the couch with a stretch. "Ahhh, what a day...and it's not even night, hehe." He chuckled before his kitten Pip jumped to his chest and sat on it. "Hey, Pip. How was your day?"
The kitten responded by laying down on his chest and began nuzzling him. Kyuren chuckled and stroked his hand over Pip. "Must be boring. Being in cooped up here for..." He looked at the clock. He left at around Eight Forty, and it was now Two Twenty. "Seven hours or so."
Pip just lay on his chest, enjoying the stroked on her bare skin with purrs of satisfaction.
Kyuren chuckled. "I'll make dinner later." He said before he went to take a nap.
