For a brick, he flew pretty good.

Meet and greet
2025 A.D. April 1
The doors swung open, giving Issei a clear view of the interior of the clubroom. Seeing and feeling the anxiousness and fear that radiated from the assembled devils almost made him visibly sight again. Now was not the time tough. His eyes finally turned back to the black haired buxom beauty that had opened the door. Issei moved his roaming eyes from her voluptuous body to look into her eyes.
He was surprised to see the range of emotions that flashed behind them, from joy to sadness to rage to lust to guilt to something entirely different and as quickly as they came, they were gone. Her eyes hardening while peering into his. Issei heard her voice, the steel in it. "Yes?". He gave her a small smile and responded with a gentle voice. "I'm here to see Rias Gremory, the princess of destruction, heir to the Gremory family and sister to the current Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer. Also, I'm here to see Sona Sitri, heir to the Sitri-clan and sister of Serafall Leviathan". Issei saw her eyes open wide in surprise. 'Probably surprised at my behavior and the fact that I know who her master really is and who Sona Sitri is'. Issei mused while he watched her struggle to regain control of her mask. 'I can't really blame her or them, entirely'. Issei stopped his wandering mind when she finally regained control and her mask slipped back on. Issei watched her eyes narrow. Her bust rising and falling with the deep breath she sucked in and then released. "President, Issei Hyoudou is here to see you and the student council president". Silence reigned supreme after Gremory queen's declaration. 'I could hear a paperclip hit the floor right now' Issei chuckled mentally.
What felt like a few minutes, was in fact just short of thirty-seconds. "Let him in Akeno". Issei heard Rias voice, his eyes narrowed. There was an edge to her voice, he didn't like. He flared his psionics. He felt the room. Their positions. The mood, read most of the surface thoughts from almost all of them, a few he couldn't read. Hostile, fear and anxiousness had been replaced with hostility. Apparently, Rias had decided to gain the upper hand by striking first before reinforcements arrived. Issei had done all of this while Akeno had turned around and motioned him inside with her left hand, her hair tied in a long ponytail followed her natural movement. He watched her take two steps inside, with her back to him, before he let out a quite chuckle that only she could hear. She halted in her track and turned her head to her left, her violet eyes narrowing and focusing on his purple ones. "What's so funny?" he heard her ask, voice laced with suspicion. Issei let out a light laugh and smiled before mouthing in a whisper that only she could hear. "I apologize for this". He saw both her eyes open wide in surprise before he pushed her aside to her right with a small psionic push at the same time as he disappeared.
Issei saw her fall in his peripheral, black hair sprawled out on the floor. While he speeds past her. A small energy trail was left behind him. Making a beeline straight for the crimson-haired ruin princess. At the same time Issei noticed that the rest of the devils in the room where armed as well. Most of them had so wide eyes that it was almost comical, almost being the key. Half-way through the room Issei released a low level Psionic blast only meant to push enemies or others back, without hurting them. The half-moon shaped shock wave pushed the devils back, almost all of them tumbled to the ground. All the furniture was also pushed back, some flipped and broke, others smashed into walls and where broken, windows smashed and glass flew outside and down onto the grass.
Issei jumped, sailed straight towards the shocked crimson princess. The small crimson black sphere of destruction magic was still present above her palm in her open right hand. Her long crimson hair flapping around behind her like there was air blowing from a vent behind her. Issei knew that jumping at a target wasn't the smartest thing to do, since you'd usually be a perfect target yourself, but with the mark in shock and the speed he had.
It was worth it for the psychological effect it would have afterwards if nothing else. He watched the crimson princess turn her head towards him at the last second as his left arm pushed her down her crimson-black orb sizzling out of existence. His left leg between both her legs and his knee on her abdomen. Right leg in front for support right arm raised to strike. Issei materialized an electric purple colored psi-blade from his right forearm that extended outwards.
Issei quickly took stock of the situation. All this had happened in an instant. Faster than any peerage knight could move. Most of the Gremory peerage and Sitri peerage where sprawled out on the floor. Not making any obvious moves to stand. Gremory's rook was still standing arms crossed before her. Issei could see she had protected herself against a chair that had been thrown her way. When he had released the psi-blast. Her clothes had ripped at a few places, probably where the chair had hit her when it broke in pieces. 'Impressive' he thought while he turned his head back to look Rias straight in her eyes, purple eyes met blue once.
He could see fear, her white skin glistened with sweat. Breath ragged. Issei stared into her eyes for what felt like an eternity. Without warning he plunged is blade forward, towards her exposed delicate neck.
DxD:C
Rias of the Gremory knew this was her end. She had seen the blade-arm go up and then down in slow-motion. She didn't know what she had been thinking. 'What if he really only wanted to talk?'. She had acted on her emotions and made a bad judgment call. She knew it. He knew it. They knew it. Her and Sitri's peerage had been beat so fast she had not even had time to react. She had felt the buildup of psionic energy right before Akeno had been showed aside. Her medallion had cracked and shattered at that instance. Mere moment after she had been pushed down and him kneeling above her ready to strike. She closed her eyes as the blade began its, in her mind slow decent to her doom. 'I'm so sorry my friends'. A tear released and feel from her left eye. Rias of Gremory inhaled what was to be her last breath. She could feel the heath closing in. 'This is it'. She thought, despair setting in.
Someone screamed "Stop". She knew that voice. She could feel the cursed human power inches from her skin. Making it crawl. She opened her eyes but didn't dare to move.
DxD:C
"Stop" a male voice screamed. Issei had already stopped the decent of his blade a few inches from her neck before he heard the voice scream.
Turning his head to look at the newcomers both of his eyes narrowed as he looked at each of them.
Furthest to he left was a silver-haired beauty with matching eye color, known as Grayfia Lucifuge. Appearance wise she looked to be around mid-twenties. Her hair, which flows all the way down to her back, features a long braid on both sides, with small blue bows at their ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids.
On her right was the current Lucifer and the older brother of Rias Gremory, Sirzechs Lucifer. A man in his early twenties appearance wise with shoulder length crimson red hair and blue-green eyes.
On his right and slightly behind him was the current lord of the Phenex clan, Rival Phenex. A middle-aged looking man with blond hair that is spiky at the back and dark blue eyes.
On his right was another of the great Satan's. Ajuka Beelzebub. A handsome young man in appearance, with light blue eyes and green slicked back hair.
On his right and slightly in front of him was the current Leviathan and Sona Sitri's older sister. Serafall Leviathan. A beautiful girl with long black hair tied into twin tails and blue eyes.
Issei glanced at the five of them again before looking back at Rias before checking the progress of the other devils in the room. Some of them had gotten up and sported weapons again posit to attack at command. Issei sighted. 'They don't give up, do they?' He had to give them that. Of course, with the three great Satan's, the strongest queen and the immortal Phenex as reinforcement he could understand them though.
Issei made eye contact the current head of the underworld faction and kept it. With a strong unshaken voice Issei greeted them with a simple "greeting".
