I sighed as me and Issei walked to school. He asked while looking at the time, "Can you use your gear to speed up our arrival?" I shot back, "Give me a boost, and we'll see." "Fine, but you give me one, first."
I sighed and tapped his arm, declaring, "[Accelerando]." One second later, he held my soldier.
[TRANSFER]
I intoned, "[Trickster's Tempo]." Instantly, the world around us slowed down to a crawl as we continued to walk on as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Just as we arrived at the school campus, we saw the school's student council "standing" in a magic circle. Kiba's eyes widened as they moved to me and Issei. I sighed, "Issei, you go on ahead. I need to do something real quick." He nodded and walked on ahead as I fished out a piece of paper and pen, before writing my message on the paper.
After finishing my message, I put the pen away before placing the paper in such a way so Kiba can read it easily in a quick instant. It was somewhat comical, watching it just hover in midair like that as soon as I let go. Giving one last salute to the blonde boy, I calmly walked to my class as time around me caught up to it's normal pace.
I entered the class room as the bell rung.
It was just another day...
I idly tapped my pencil on my notebook as Issei and I sat down in the shade of a tree. Issei rested peacefully and napped while I jot down some quick calculations and numbers, along with a model to fit it. Issei shifted so his body was leaning on mine comfortably, while I casually raised my left arm and stretched it before casually reaching forward and gripping the practice sword that suddenly appeared in front of us. Issei yawned before cracking one of his eyes open, seeing who held/threw it as I continued to jot down calculations.
He greeted with a stretch, "Oh. Hi, Kiba." With that, finished writing and slowly looked up, seeing the surprised look on the blonde boy. I asked in a dry voice, "So, what do you want, Knight?" His smiled, "The Council would like to speak with both of you." Issei got up and grinned, before frowning.
"Bro? Why does this feel like our lives are about to get a bit more complicated?" I answered truthfully, "Because life is never truly simple."
Everything was as I almost expected it to be...
As we walked to the room, Issei asked, "Hey, Kiba. Anyone that you love? And I'm talking about the romance kind, not the fangirl kind." Kiba shook his head as we turned around the corner, "No. I'm not interested in anyone, yet..." "Well you might as well let the school populace know. Otherwise, they'll think you're into guys instead of girls." Kiba suddenly froze up, his face becoming blank and his body stiff. I continued on walking as Issei poked him, "Yo, Kiba, you there? Hello?" A few seconds have passed, "You were going to lead us to the others..."
I picked up the pace. 5 and a half steps later. I fought to hold in my laughter.
"OH MY GOD! KIBA, YOU LIKE GUYS?!"
I managed to enter the right place before finally collapsing to the ground, laughing hard.
"NO, ISSEI, I'M NOT INTO GUYS!"
I inhaled and exhaled, muttering with a grin, "Thank you, Issei, for being the humorous little brother you are..." I finally stood up, noticing the set of eyes on me. I eyed the black-haired chick before saying, "I'm taken."
But when I was in that room, I thought everything would work out...
I jot down some calculations while Issei sipped some tea, asking, "You sure you don't want to try? It's pretty good." I rolled my eyes, "Please. I think I'm okay with doing some math while waiting for my future sister-in-law to finish up her shower than drinking tea and waiting around. Heck, I rather be at home, watching anime and reading manga." A new voice interjected, "No need to keep on waiting." We both glanced at the person.
Huh. Nice.
"What happened to your oppai?!"
POW! CRASH!
I closed my eyes and put away my stuff, "I apologize for my overly perverted brother. I'm also glad you made them slightly more realistic." Rias cocked her hip and pointed out, "You could've told me about human society earlier, you know." I deadpan, "I was in America, using my scholarship for gun training. Can you at least put some clothes on?" "Fine."
A quick magic circle later, she was fully clothed while Issei was sitting next to me. She asked, "Do you know what we are?" I answered instantly, "Nope." At the same time, Issei answered, "You're all Devils." I blinked before staring at Issei, before palm met face, asking, "Issei? How did you know that?" He grinned, "You called Kiba Knight." "I meant that as comparing him to a knight in shining armor! He's called 'Prince' and he uses a sword! Therefore, 'Knight'! Not the chess piece kind!"
Rias coughed, getting our attention, "Naming aside, it seems like both of you are aware of the supernatural." I admitted, "I was introduced to it by my girlfriend." Issei grinned, "So Vali is a girl!" I continued while jabbing my thumb at Issei, "As for my Perverted Brother, I'm not sure." He told me seriously, "When my life became a game." "Ah. So a few months ago?" "Yep. Feel glad about those dungeons we cleared?" "Somewhat." Rias tilted her head, confused, "I'm sorry, but what do you mean?"
Me and Issei shared a look, before I negotiated, "Why not tell us why you want us here? After that, we can work something out in terms of information about our lives." Rias offered, "If I give you information about us, you must join my peerage." I shook my head, "Hell no. Issei will, but I won't." "Well, what do you want out of this?" "All notes and information you have regarding magic circles that manipulate force and energy." "You must show me what you plan to do with the information if I give it to you." "I'm giving you the power my twin brother has. Isn't that enough?" Issei protested, "Hey! Don't I get a say in this?" We both deadpan, "No, you don't."
I turned to her and offered, "How about my brother's v-card and you being his girlfriend in exchange for the information?" She nodded, "Acceptable... I'll think about it." Issei groaned, "Before you do, why not the two of us talk about your current situation. Alone." The red head sighed as the two were warped away, leaving me with the white haired girl, the blackette, and golden boy himself.
Silence reigned supreme before the short stack finally bluntly spoke, "You smell like gunpowder." I shrugged, "Meh, gun maintenance, along with bullet customization. I actually binge watch anime and play videogames to gain inspiration from the guns they have. However, it's hard due to most of them having swords as opposed to guns." Kiba looked interested as I continued, "This one anime had this move called Unlimited Blade Works. It was a wasteland filled with numerous swords as far as the eye could see."
The door opened back up, revealing a stunned Rias and a smug Issei. He boasted, "Finally got a girlfriend!" I sighed while finally reaching for the cup of tea, "Beaten you by a few months. So, Kiba, up for the challenge? Blades versus Bullets?" Kiba grinned, "Sure." Rias interjected, "As much as I would like to witness the fight, I still need to make Issei my pawn." My eyes widened as my gaze locked with Issei's.
"Good grief... This will get troublesome..."
Needless to say, even with the combined Luck with me and my brother, things went horribly wrong...
"I, Rias Gremory, command you to rise above your limits! Reach beyond your goal, as my servant! Arise as my [Pawn], Issei!"
CRACK! WOOM-BOOM!
"GAH!"
"KUROSEI!"
"ISSEI!"
At that moment, both of our lives changed completely, all thanks to one event...
BA-DUM...
CLICK-CLICK...
BANG!
Our death.
Third Person POV:
The ticking of gears were heard, before revealing a huge tower stuffed with many gears and clocks.
Suddenly, the ticking abruptly stopped.
Two glowing red eyes gleamed within the mess of gears.
ROAR!
So, how was it? What did you think happened? Review?
