Once again, the title says it all

(Gremory Apartment Complex)

The sun shone inside the apartment of one Ingvild Leviathan as she prepared for her first day at Kuoh Academy. A week ago, the Gremory group along with Valerie and her peerage returned home to Kuoh with the end of the Youth Devil meeting. Fortunately for Ingvild, Rias owned an apartment complex and she was given a room right next to Rias's queen Akeno, so if she needed anything, she always had someone willing to help her. It was a classic apartment consisting of a small living room with a large leather couch and a few leather chairs along with a wooden table a kitchen that was fully stocked and bathroom with a shower bath combo. Ingvild's bedroom was relatively bare for the moment consisting of a simple twin bed with sea blue bedsheets, a desk area a blue dresser for her unmentionables and a closet for her new clothes. After moving her into the apartment Rias spared no expense in taking the girl on a massive shopping spree so she had stuff to wear outside of class when she wasn't caught up in school which she would be enrolling in soon. "Here we go" Ingvild muttered as she got out of her bed and made her way to get showered.

Around twenty minutes later she was showered and dressed in the Kuoh uniform and ready to go. Opening her door, she was glad that Rias's queen Akeno was waiting for her so she could prepare for her first day of school. "Ufufufu are you ready." Akeno wondered with her usual smile.

"I guess" Ingvild said timidly since she didn't quite know what to prepare for.

"Well the good news is that we've put you in Issei's class, so you'll be next to him all the time. How you manage the rest is up to you." Akeno smiled.

"Right" Ingvild nodded. She knew Issei was popular thanks to the conversations she had with the others, but she was determined to make her mark.

(Scene Skip)

Issei Hyoudou sat in his classroom with nervous anticipation for what was to come. He hadn't visited with the kendo club in the week he's been back, and Rias was busy helping Ingvild prepare to move into modern society. Karlamine Yumi Irina and Xenovia did a fine job taking care of him but the ban was over today, and he was ready for the kendo club to go crazy. He was a bit curious about Ingvild and where Rias would ultimately put her, but he trusted the Gremory heiress to take care of business. Luckily for him Murayama and Katase hadn't gotten to school yet so he had time to prepare himself. Then the classroom door opened, and all his calm went out the window, "Oh you have got to be kidding me." Issei groaned before smacking his head against the desk.

"Hello class it's nice to meet you. My name is Azazel and I'll be taking over as your homeroom teacher." The Fallen Angel leader smiled. His relaxed Kimono was replaced with a black suit with white t-shirt and black dress shoes, but it was the fact he was their new teacher that shocked him. Issei hadn't heard much from him since his return and now he knew why.

"Issei did you know about this" Irina whispered from next to him.

"No I didn't" Issei grimaced since this would change everything. Murayama walked in a moment later and without noticing the teacher walked over to Issei.

"Hey there stranger I missed you." Murayama smiled before straddling Issei's waist and smashing her lips against his. Issei went with the flow and Azazel watched with amusement at the antics displayed.

"My turn Mury" Katase smiled having walked in during the display and eyeing Issei himself.

"Fine" Murayama smiled before getting up and as she walked back towards her spot Murayama froze upon seeing their new teacher.

"Now where was I" Katase smiled having straddled Issei herself but this time Azazel spoke up.

"I would hope going to your desk so we can start homeroom. This is quite the first impression I'm getting of this class." Azazel smiled

"Sorry sensei" Katase said with a blush as she quickly got off Issei and walked to her desk. The old teacher let them get away with it so she never really thought about it but clearly this one wouldn't. After all her parents were still a factor for her and if they discovered her relationship with Issei it would be a disaster for everyone. Her aunt didn't say anything so she was alright but her actual parents could be a problem.

Azazel smiled at the reaction and decided to add to the fun with his next announcement, "Now that everyone is here it's time to announce another surprise. I'm not the only one joining our classroom today." Azazel smiled as Ingvild walked into the room to the joy of most of the class. "Hello everyone, my name is Ingvild Fídi and I'll be joining your class today. I just moved here from Greece and it's an honor to be here." Ingvild smiled before bowing.

"Well Miss Fidi, please take your seat at the back of the class next to Ms Kirishima." Azazel smiled and Ingvild nodded before doing just that.

"I wonder if she knows Hyoudou too." one guy muttered.

"Maybe we have a chance for once." Another guy whispered.

"Poor girl, Hyoudou's going to come after her soon." A girl muttered.

As she sat down next to Murayama, she smiled at the thought of Issei eventually making her move on him and adding her to his growing collection. However, she had to keep those thoughts to herself for now. 'Here we go' Ingvild thought to herself as she prepared for her first day of school.

(Scene Skip)

A rare sight appeared during gym class with Issei deciding to participate in the activity of the day which in this case was a soccer game. Guys and girls alike from classes 2A and 2D watched as Issei Hyoudou stood at the center circle acting as striker for his team since everybody figured it would be the best role for him. "Incredible he's actually gonna participate." One of the kids said in shock.

"What's going on" Ingvild said nervously seeing everybody watching the soccer field during gym class.

"What's happening is Issei is actually participating for once." Murayama smiled as she walked next to a nervous Ingvild.

"For once" Ingvild said curiously.

"Yeah, typically Issei relaxes and nods off during gym class. His nickname of the Hidden Dragon is amusingly appropriate. It looks like he's woken up and ready to stretch his wings" Murayama chuckled.

"Now Murayama, don't go corrupting the new girl already." Irina smirked as she walked over to him.

Murayama looked at Irina with an odd expression but smiled, "Hey it's not my fault Irina. I haven't seen my manager for a month. Still I can't believe he's actually going to play"

"Manager" Ingvild said curiously.

"Yeah I'm part of the kendo club and Issei is our manager. It's really fun having him around" Murayama smiled as though it wasn't a big deal.

"That's enough Mury. You should watch what you're about to see. Unlike you guys I've seen Issei play sports and if he's got the talent he had as a kid this should be fun" Irina smiled causing Ingvild to focus on the field. Sure enough, when the match started Issei displayed the speed and agility that made him a powerhouse on the battlefield, but it was clear that he was holding back.

"Issei hasn't lost his touch at all" Irina smiled warmly as if recalling something from years ago.

"Huh" both girls said in shock.

"As long as I've known Issei he's been incredible at sports and clearly that hasn't changed" Irina smiled.

"Go Issei!" Murayama shouted as Issei turned towards them and waved.

"Incredible" Ingvild gasped as she watched Issei go. There was nothing anybody could do as Issei moved and she knew it. This was the Red Dragon Emperor at his most wonderful and as the day continued all Ingvild wondered was when he would turn that fire that he possessed towards her. She noticed the girls next to her cheer along with a pink haired girl in her class named Katase as well as a brown-haired girl from a different class. The cheers only got louder when Issei scored the first of his 3 goals in the game. When the whistle blew to end the game Issei's team had won 8-2 with Issei scoring 5 goals and picking up two assists.

"Should we go greet him" Irina smiled as she started to walk over.

"Afraid not" Murayama frowned as Ryoko walked over. It was a rare chance for Ryoko and clearly, she was intent on taking it

"Maybe next time" Irina shrugged as Ryoko wrapped a towel around Issei's neck and he replied by pulling her into a kiss to the disbelief of Ingvild and nonchalance of Irina and Murayama.

"She'll pay for that later" Murayama grunted in annoyance, but it was a spectacular display for all to watch regardless.

(Scene Skip)

With the end of the day over it was time for everybody to go home and naturally Ingvild got attention as the new girl. "Hey Ingvild, do you have a club you're want to join?" One of the girls in the class asked calmly.

Ingvild froze for a minute unsure of how to answer the question. She was obviously going to join the ORC but the question of how to tell the others that wasn't something she was sure of, "I heard rumors about an Occult Research Club in the school. Being from Greece, it sounds like the type of thing I'd enjoy" Ingvild replied.

"I see. Well if you want to join the club, you should ask Irina over there." The girl replied and Ingvild went to do so. Irina naturally said she'd take her over to meet the president and the two made their way towards the ORC. As they left Ingvild couldn't help but look at Issei as Murayama and Katase walked over to him.

"I've got some stuff to do before I come over so make sure the girls know that there's important business to handle today once I get there" Issei instructed.

"So no orgy" Katase pouted.

"No orgy" Issei replied flatly

"See you soon manager" Murayama smiled before leaving with her best friend. Finally, Issei and Azazel were alone and it was time to chat.

"I can't tell if I pity you or envy you kid. You have an entire club as a harem and if you go to the ORC you have lovers galore there also." Azazel smirked.

"I'm aware but on a separate note care to tell me why Ingvild is in my class instead of with Rias Sona Akeno and Valerie."

Azazel's near perpetual smile turned into a frown, "Kid to be honest there's still something incredibly odd about Ingvild and even you can't deny it. She's been asleep for 1000 years and you're telling me NOBODY knew about her. In the supernatural world that's a practical impossibility. Having her around you is better for all parties."

Issei frowned since Azazel was right, "Fine but I doubt she'll be too thrilled when I introduce the kendo club to everyone like I'm planning to." Issei frowned. There was very little chance she'd think well of that even if she suspected as much.

"Yeah but you have to do it. Still you're gonna give it a few days before you do." Azazel reminded him.

"Yeah and when that happens, we'll see how things play out." Issei frowned.

(Scene Skip)

While Issei dealt with the kendo club Ingvild sat in the clubroom with Rias and Valerie. She didn't have any contracts so she could sit and talk, "Where is Issei" Ingvild asked calmly.

"He's over at the kendo club. Admittedly he only comes here if we really need him or to fool around with Yumi and Karlamine" Valerie smirked causing Ingvild's expression to sour.

"I see. So maybe he's not interested in me at all." Ingvild sighed.

"Oh, but that's the thing. He is interested in you but he's waiting for the right moment" Valerie replied.

"Huh" Rais and Ingvild both stared in shock.

"Issei is a master manipulator and he's waiting for the right moment to truly claim you just like he did with Rias and me." Valerie smiled.

"What's that supposed to mean." Rias huffed

"He manipulated you into thinking that the only way he would help you is if he got something in return to the point you practically pimped out both of your knights to him to keep him appeased. He's the manager of a kendo club full of girls and he spends most of his time their having sex, but nothing is done about it because Sona can't risk annoying him. He's known about my feelings for a while but never addressed them. Sure we finally fucked the other day, but it was because Ddraig and Albion basically forced his hand. He desires you Ingvild, but he wants to wait until you desire him before he devours you."

"Ufufufu you make Issei sound like some devious monster Valerie." Akeno chuckled.

"Maybe so but he has reasons for everything." Valerie smiled.

"So why did he kiss Seekvaira." Rias questioned pointing out his antics during the Old Maou Faction.

"I don't know but what I do know is this. If you want to pursue Issei do so. Just remember that once you give in. It's over." Valerie smiled.

"That's the thing, I don't know what I'm feeling. I slept alone for a long time and admittedly I went to Issei for comfort because he was available. What would've happened if he wasn't interrupted that night?" Ingvild said frantically trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

"I don't know but I know this. If you offer yourself to Issei he will accept it. But make sure you're doing it because you want to not because he wants you to. That's the best way to see how he feels" Valerie smiled.

"I see" Ingvild replied. It was clear that she needed to confront Issei herself.

(Scene Skip)

Nightfall arrived and Ingvild Leviathan decided that instead of waiting for an opening she was going to make one herself. Gathering herself she used her magic to appear in Issei's room hoping that the young man was alone and that they could have a chat. Unfortunately for her, Issei wasn't there at all. This was absolutely the right house since Issei's scent was all around, but the Red Dragon was gone. "Maybe he's out again" Ingvild said solemnly recalling that he left a few times for some reason during the one night she spent with him.

As she walked towards the bed Issei's scent intensified and she couldn't help but crawl onto the bed and lie down. Issei's scent surrounded her, and in a haze Ingvild reached for her breast with her right hand to calm down the inferno that was building inside her. "Issei!" Ingvild moaned out as she began rubbing her breasts imagining that it was him doing so. The thought of Issei claiming her at last was too much and Ingvild knew it. There was something about Issei that she couldn't handle. Something that made her want to scream his name and it was a feeling that had grown day by day. "Issei! Issei" Ingvild moaned louder and louder and while her breasts had been freed from their confines, her lower half was aching to receive its own reward. Using her free hand, she snuck towards her lower half ready to add it to the fray, a feat made easier by the fact she had no panties on. She was so distracted that she didn't notice the magic circle appear in the room. Just as her fingers were about to enter her snatch, Issei Hyoudou appeared with Murayama next to him. The pair quickly noticed Ingvild and both had looks of amusement on their faces.

"You work fast Issei." Murayama smirked causing Ingvild to look up from her haze. She was absolutely mortified to see that Issei was standing in front of her with one of her classmates in his arms.

Issei twitched heavily at the normally erotic sight since a very awkward conversation was coming soon. As for Ingvild a massive blush appeared on her face before she fainted from shock. "Don't say a word" Issei groaned.

(Scene Skip)

As the ORC gathered for another meeting various members of the club were caught up in odd emotions. For Rias it was the fact that Issei was introducing the kendo club to everyone. Granted she knew that they were aware of the supernatural but putting a name to a face was a whole different game.

For Ingvild her thoughts were on the night before and the fact that Issei had seen her masturbating to him and the question of what would happen if Murayama wasn't there. Then there was the knowledge that Issei was bringing the entirety of the kendo club over to introduce them to the supernatural beings in the school since the council were already well known. Then there was a slightly nervous Yumi who knew that the club would have plenty of questions for her also. As Irina walked into the clubroom at last everyone mentally prepared themselves. Soon came Xenovia and then Issei and finally, the girl's kendo club.

"So this is the infamous ORC. Not bad Rias." Haruna smirked causing Rias to twitch since she really didn't like the captain of the club.

"Thanks" Rias sweatdropped.

"Hey look, it's Gasper and even Koneko" Corinna smiled as she walked in. Koneko was also in Corinna's class and that meant she had a familiar face.

"Let's not forget Yumi" Clarissa teased.

"Didn't expect the new teacher to be here also." Katase smiled.

"That's enough girls. You're here as guests remember that." Issei scolded.

"Right!" the girls announced at once causing Rias to look in shock at how uniform they were.

"As you all already know the ORC is a front for the supernatural and Rias here is the leader of the group and a High-Class Devil. Azazel sensei has his own role, but you don't need to worry about that" Issei revealed. Telling the girls that their new teacher was the leader of the Fallen Angels would be a bit much.

"What do you mean High Class Devil." Ryoko wondered.

Rias calmly took over, "There are 72 major families of devils and most pure high-class devils are from those families. Low class devils are primarily for peerage members. Middle class devils are typically pure devils from outside of the major families and servants who have risen in rank."

"So where does everyone rank." Murayama wondered.

"Rias Valerie and Ingvild here are high class devils. Akeno Yumi Asia Koneko and Gasper are low class. Karlamine is middle class at least I think so." Azazel explained. For Murayama and Katase, it was certainly strange to see their new teacher in the classroom. It just added to the messy situation.

"That's right. I was made mid class a year ago back when I was with my previous Master." Karlamine confirmed.

"What about Issei Irina and Xenovia and for that matter our new teacher." Katase asked calmly.

"Actually, Irina Xenovia and I aren't devils. We're humans with supernatural powers. Irina and Xenovia were exorcists but due to circumstances that were beyond their control, they were kicked out of the church. They decided to ultimately stay at Kuoh." Issei explained.

"I see" Katase said with narrowed eyes.

"Any more questions before we go" Rias said calmly.

"Umm mind if I ask one" another member said calmly.

"Sure…umm"

"Yui" the girl replied. Yui was a second year that was in a different class from Ryoko and the main group. She was medium height with short brown hair and black eyes. Like the other members she had an athletic frame and her breasts were low B cups.

"What is it Yui" Rias wondered.

"Is the student council also connected to the supernatural also. Because the way all of you transferred in and how easily you're able to get connected wouldn't be possible otherwise." Yui explained.

"That's right" Rias admitted.

"That explains why it was so easy for us to get Issei approved and why our bus is what it is." Ryoko chuckled.

"What do you mean" Rias wondered.

"Our bus is basically a limo with a bunch of loveseats so Issei can play with us on the way to matches" Katase explained causing Rias to blush.

"Ufufufu, how much time do you girls spend actually doing kendo. It sounds like you guys have as much fun with Issei as we do." Akeno smiled.

"As much as you do?" Katase asked curiously.

"Well you obviously know he sleeps with Irina Xenovia and Yumi. He slept with Karlamine Rias and Valerie also." Akeno smirked.

The girls weren't surprised by that but one of them noticed an odd omission, "Hold on you mean he HASN'T slept with you" Murayama said in disbelief.

"No he hasn't. He was perfectly okay with Yumi and Karlamine and I didn't want to step on anybody's toes. Though I suppose now I wouldn't say no if he tried" Akeno chuckled.

"Akeno that's enough!" Rias blushed since things were getting totally out of hand.

"At any rate. You've had your introductions so let's get back to the clubroom and start training. Rias has her duties to attend to and I doubt she wants to have us hounding her." Issei instructed. It was becoming a pain that he didn't particularly want to deal with.

"Fine" the girls replied as everyone slowly moved out. For Rias it was a relief to see everyone gone and her peerage was in a similar view particularly Ingvild who was stunned to see the new competition. Irina and Xenovia did stay behind though since they knew their role was done. Once they were gone the door was shut and Rias let out a deep breath.

"Finally, they're gone." Rias groaned.

"Ufufufu you and Haruna never have gotten along." Akeno chuckled.

"Regardless, does anybody else want to talk about the elephant in the room?" Valerie smiled causing everyone to focus on her instead of Rias's odd relationship with Haruna.

"There's quite a few of those Valerie. So which one were you thinking about" Rias frowned. Issei introducing the kendo club brought up plenty of issues for them and they knew it.

"The fact that Issei told them about the supernatural but didn't make them demi-dragons like Irina and Xenovia. Those necklaces they were wearing have traces of magic so Issei can get to them, but why not make them dragons instead." Valerie explained.

"That should be obvious really." Irina smiled.

"Enlighten me" Valerie smirked.

"The only people in this room who couldn't slaughter all ten of them on their own are Gasper and Asia due to them not being fighters. What Issei does enhances your base stats, but not anywhere near as much as you think. The dragon piece wouldn't change the math very much so it wouldn't be worth it"

Rias was stunned that the change was that minimal, "So there would be no point then."

"That's right. Those girls are good for taking the edge off Issei but that's it." Irina said bluntly.

"Well that settles that. It's time for training I guess" Rias sighed knowing that she couldn't do anything. As for Ingvild she was still unsure of what to do.

(Scene Skip)

The next day Ingvild walked into the classroom just to find Issei engaging in his pre-class tradition of making out with one of his girls. "Really girls I thought sensei said not to do that!" Ingvild exclaimed.

Murayama looked at the girl and smiled before hopping off Issei's lap, "Aww if you're jealous Ingvild, why don't you give it a shot." Murayama smiled causing Ingvild to blush since Murayama had seen her masturbate on his bed.

"I…" Ingvild stammered as she considered it and the class took note.

"Come on not another one." A male classmate pouted.

"We might as well bring back the perverted trio. At least they only talked about doing dirty stuff" a girl complained. Various moans and groans showed that the class was tired of the PDA that Issei got every day but soon everyone looked to them.

Gathering herself, she walked towards Issei to the annoyance of the class. As she arrived at his desk, she saw Issei sitting down and walked over to him, "is it okay" Ingvild wondered. If Issei said he could she would sit on his lap and kiss her like the others.

"If you want to Ingvild I'm okay with it, but don't feel like you have to." Issei said with a smile.

Azazel could be there any minute and Ingvild knew she had to make a move and fast. The class watched as Ingvild moved to straddle issei's waist and sit on his lap, "Please Issei" Ingvild pleaded as she looked at Issei with lust in her eyes.

"Of course" Issei smiled before leaning in to kiss Ingvild. As the pair clashed lips Ingvild knew that this was just the beginning.

(Scene Skip)

Nightfall arrived and Issei was relaxing in his bed until his phone rang. When he saw the unfamiliar number, he answered anyway out of pure curiosity, "Hello this is Issei Hyoudou." Issei said sarcastically.

"You're a hard man to get a hold of Issei Hyoudou" a female voice said over the phone.

Issei smiled since his other plan began to bore fruit, "Why hello Lady Agares. I'm curious how you got a hold of me." Issei smiled. Ever since he told her about Diodora, he figured it was only a matter of time until the Agares heiress got a hold of him. Admittedly it was sooner than he thought, but he would enjoy the conversation regardless.

"It took a little research, but I discovered you were based in Kuoh like Sona and Rias. All it took was a call to Sona and she gave me your information." Seekvaira admitted.

Mentally Issei groaned since Sona would surely give him grief for it later, "So what do you want to know." Issei smiled.

'Why did you tell me not to trust Diodora Astaroth? As you know I'm his opponent for the next battle. Is there something I should look out for" Seekvaira replied in a much more serious tone?

"Diodora is heavily suspected of being a traitor for the Khaos Brigade. Because of that I wanted to see if any of the other youth devils might be traitors as well. Sairoarg's situation meant he was out and that left Zephyrdor and you. I whispered that because if you were a traitor Diodora would send somebody to deal with me. Seeing that he hasn't, you're in the clear." Issei replied.

"I see" Seekvaira said in a clearly disappointed tone. To be thought of as a traitor couldn't have been good, "What about Zephyrdor?"

"I'd be amazed if he isn't a traitor. Fortunately, we'll know soon enough." Issei smiled.

"Thank you for your honesty." Seekvaira replied.

"Of course. Well I must get going, we humans need our sleep." Issei smiled before hanging up. Moments later a magic circle appeared in his room and Ingvild Leviathan popped out wearing the blue nightgown that was made for her by Grayfia. "Why good evening ms Leviathan. What can I do for you?" Issei said sarcastically.

Ingvild walked over to Issei's bed with the confidence she had gained from their makeout session earlier, "You know exactly why I'm here and I hope there won't be any interruptions this time." Ingvild said in a surprisingly confident tone.

Issei smiled before getting up, "I believe we're a bit overdressed for what you have in mind." Issei smiled before pulling off his shirt.

Ingvild smiled before reaching for the gown and pulling it off revealing her incredible naked body, "is this better." Ingvild smiled knowing she couldn't be bashful if she wanted to stake her claim.

"It's perfect" Issei smiled as he walked over to the Leviathan heiress ready to add yet another one to his collection. It truly was good to be him.

That's it for Chapter 23 and we have yet another addition to the Issei harem. Next time is the battle between Valerie and Zephyrdor and the fun doesn't stop when the battle ends.
