The Knight was walking towards the school, before it found itself blocked by a certain female student, it did not recognize.
"Are you Arthur Knight by any chance?" The girl asked, while the Knight nodded.
"...Indeed, Miss…?" It asked.
"Akeno Himejima," She introduced herself, stretching her body a bit, her assets quite enticing, despite being hidden by the clothes, which the Knight completely ignored. "Would you be interested in eating lunch together?"
"… No," The Knight replied, making her blink, before he tried to walk past her, only for the girl to block his path once again. "...May I leave?"
"Are you sure about that? I brought a cake," She tried, her breasts bouncing a bit from the sudden movement.
"… I am, Miss Himejima," It replied, while Akeno blinked, before giggling.
"My oh my, you are playing hard to get, aren't you?" She asked, while the Knight shook its head. "Oh, is that so? Do you not find girls attractive or cute?"
"...No," It replied, it's dull expressions focused on her. "Girls are not cute, neither are boys, neither are you."
"Ara Ara, I actually felt that," Akeno exclaimed, not expecting that kind of response. It was the first time she wasn't called cute or fawned upon, it actually hurt her pride a bit.
"… Felt what?" Knight asked, with it's eyebrow raised.
"Nothing important, oh well, it's your loss, Knight," She said, smiled and left the Knight.
"...Odd," The Knight commented, before it made its way back to the classroom.
However, his little meeting with Akeno didn't go unnoticed, the students soon began talking about how he turned down one of the prettiest girls in the entire school, some even going as far as to say that he might be into boys, not that it cared. It sat next to Koneko, who glanced in it's direction every now and then. After the break came, the Knight began making its way towards the rooftop.
However, on it's way there, it saw a trio of male students running in it's direction, while being chased by an angry female mob. The three students were rather unremarkable, one being bald, the other wearing glasses and the last one having brown hair and eyes. Just as it pondered what to do next, it heard the brown one yelling.
"You! New Guy! Save us!" And then he tried to push the Knight towards the mob, keyword tried.
As soon as the Knight saw a hostile action, it grabbed the arm of the boy, twisted it and smashed him into two others, knocking them to the ground with a yell. That gave enough time for the mob to descend upon them, allowing the females to beat the boys into a bloody pulp using wooden swords they carried.
"Gah!" The boys yelled, as they were being assaulted, the Knight looking blankly at the display.
A moment later, the trio resembled more slabs of meat than proper human beings. Once the girls were finished with the trio, they turned towards the Knight. Among them, two girls stood out. One of them had short pink hair reaching to her neck, while the other one had long brown hair reaching to the middle of her back.
"Thanks for the help, umm…," The pink one started.
"...Arthur Knight," It introduced itself.
"Right, Knight. I am Katase and this is Murayama," The girls introduced themselves. "Thank you for helping out with the perverts."
"...These three?" It asked, while the girl nodded.
"Hyodou Issei, Motohama and Matsuda, the most perverted and least popular guys in the entire school," She explained.
"… I see," It replied, looking right at them.
"Say… are you in your first year by any chance?" Murayama asked, while the Knight nodded. "That's what I thought, can you stay away from these three? We don't need more perverts in the school."
"… Never intended to join them," The Knight replied, the girls sighing in response.
"That's a relief. In any event, once again, thank you for the help," Katase said.
"...You're welcome. If you excuse me," The Knight said, bowed and made his way around the Kendo club, before making its way up to the rooftop.
"He seems like a nice guy," Murayama said.
"Sure does, we could use some decent guys here," Katase said.
"No… fair. That guy is just some pale freak!" Motohama said.
"Oh, seems like you can still talk, get them!" Murayama yelled, another volley of blows descending upon the perverts.
The Knight sat on the rooftop, Koneko next to it, this time, she got half of the bag, since it knew how big her stomach was. The two were sitting in silence, neither speaking a word as they simply enjoyed the sweets.
"…Sweet," Koneko muttered as she ate the sweets given to her.
"...They are," The Knight agreed.
"…You met the perverted trio, didn't you?" Koneko, asked, while the Knight nodded.
"...They tried to push me," It replied. "...Then, they were beaten by female students."
"… I see," Koneko replied. Just as the Knight was happy to simply enjoy it's sweets, it heard an announcement coming from the school speakers.
"Arthur Knight, please report to the Student Council immediately. I repeat, Arthur Knight, please report to the Student Council immediately," The voice said.
"… I must go," The Knight said and stood up.
"...Alright," Koneko replied and watched as the Knight left the rooftop, before heading to the student council. It knocked on the door, a voice coming from the inside.
"Please come in," The voice said in female tone, which the Knight obliged.
The room itself was well furnished, with a big desk at the end and many bookcases around, a small coffee table located in the middle, surrounded by two sofas. Inside the Knight noticed several students bustling around. Among them, a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, a girl with long brown hair tied into two braids, brown eyes and a blue headband, yet another girl with brown hair and blue eyes, followed by yet another girl with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and brown eyes.
The last four members were also females, with one having snow white hair that reached past her neck and blue-green eyes, the other one had blue shoulder-length hair and matching eyes. Sona Shitor and Tsubaki Shinra, the last of the group.
"… Good Morning," The Knight greeted.
"Arthur Knight, I presume," Sona asked, while the Knight nodded. "Allow us to introduce myself. I am Sona Shitori, Student Council's President. Everyone, please introduce yourself."
"Reya Kusaka," One of the girls introduced herself.
"Ruruko Nimura," Other girl introduced herself.
"Tomoe Meguri," Yet another girl introduced herself with a smile.
"Momo Hanakai," The white haired one said.
"Tsubasa Yura," The Blue one said.
"Tsubaki Shinra," The girl next to Sona said.
"...Genshirou Saji," The boy introduced himself.
"Now, Mister Knight, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Sona asked.
"...No," It replied truthfully.
"You have come across a perverted trio, didn't you?" She pointed out, while the Knight nodded.
"… I did," It confirmed.
"So, do you not see the problem?" She asked, while the Knight shook its head, while Sona sighed in response. "You slammed Hyodou Issei into his friends, which led to them being beaten by the Kendo Club."
"… Is that wrong?" The Knight asked, confused about the situation. All it did was defend itself.
"I have never said so, if anything, it's good that you stopped the trio, although I wish you applied less force than you did," Sona said. "Now, I am sure why you are wondering, why I called you here?"
"...Yes," The Knight replied.
"I would like to know if you would be interested in joining the Student Council," She replied.
"...Why?" It asked.
"Why do I want you to join the Student Council?" She asked, while the Knight nodded. "It's rather simple. Your score up to this point has been nothing short of impressive. You have also never missed a single day in school and judging by your interaction with the perverted trio, it's safe to assume you have got heart in the right place. So, what do you think?"
"… I refuse," It replied, making Sona blink in response.
"May I ask why?" She inquired, not expecting blunt refusal like that.
"…Not interested," It replied, while Yura snorted.
"Well, at least he is honest," She said, Sona sighing in response.
"Is that so? If you were to join you would receive certain benefits," She tried.
"...What benefits?" The Knight asked.
"Outside of an ability to discipline rowdy individuals, you would be excused from participating in certain events and lessons, as well as a better resume," She explained.
The Knight began thinking. Joining the student council didn't seem that bad to it. It didn't have much to do anyway, so joining the council could be interesting. It wondered how different it would be from the things it did before. One of the main problems was the fact that the girl he met today, along with every single member of the student council were not humans.
They reminded him of the stray devil and Koneko, which meant they were probably of the same species. Then again, they were hiding and so was it, so as long as they didn't try to force it into something, it supposed it could deal with it. However, it had to be clear without coming across as knowing about the supernatural.
"...Just the Student Council and the school itself, nothing more?" It asked.
"Indeed, that would be the case," Sona replied. She didn't intend to introduce the supernatural until she was sure the Knight could handle it.
"… Very well, I accept," It replied. That sent a jolt through the group, Sona smiling slightly, the other members of the council mimicking her expression, outside of Saji, who only scowled in response.
"I am glad to hear that, welcome to the Student Council, Arthur Knight," She said.
"… Please take care of me," It said with a light bow.
"Now, I suppose it's a good time to explain all your responsibilities and laws," Sona said.
And so, an hour long lecture began, where the Knight was taught what it would be dealing with. Paperwork, moving things around, raising funds, social events, community projects and so on and so forth. She also told it that it would not suffer any penalty for leaving today for the student council, which it appreciated. On top of that, she gave it a badge that marked him as a member of the council, same as other members of the Student Council were wearing.
"Good job, everyone," Sona commended, a day's worth of work done, the members of the student council sighing in relief. "How are you feeling, Knight?"
"...Fine," It replied. Honestly, it wasn't tired, it was a vessel after all.
"Hmm… quite a stamina you got there," Yura commended.
"…Perhaps," The Knight replied, as it turned towards the girl. While the Knight was taller than everyone here, Saji and Tsubasa Yura were quite close to it.
"You have done well for your first time," Tsubaki said, while the Knight nodded.
"… I guess. Miss Shitori, may I leave now then?" The Knight asked.
"Of course, thank you for your time," She said, while the Knight nodded, packed himself, said goodbye to everyone in the council and left, leaving the group behind.
"So, everyone, did you notice anything about the Knight?" Sona asked.
"I am afraid not," Momo said.
"Likewise," Reya added.
"He is very calm, too calm even," Tomoe said.
"But no magic, no sacred gears, nothing," Tsubaki said.
"That's what Rias said as well. It seems like we can cross out that option for good," Sona said. "Now then, I am sure I don't have to tell you, but please act like ordinary students around the Knight. I want to get him used to us, before I invite him to the peerage."
"Why even bother with him? He doesn't have anything," Saji protested.
"Outside of better marks than you in every subject," Tomoe said.
"Hey!" Saji protested. "Well… I am a better athlete!"
"Only because you are a devil, Saji," Sona pointed out. "As for the reason why I am interested in him. He seems to be a hardworking individual that never missed a single day in school, never gotten ill. On top of that, he is very talented and I imagine if he were to become a devil, he would only become stronger, sacred gear or not."
"So, President, how long should we keep him out of the loop?" Reya asked.
"Hard to say, I imagine that for the next half a year at the very least," Sona said. "We will see how it turns out, but for now, let's not be hasty."
"Very well," Reya agreed.
"Now then, everyone, let us leave and take care of the stray devil that was seen in the vicinity," Sona ordered, the council leaving the room.
The Knight was walking towards it's home, as it thought about the events that transpired today. He met Akeno Himejima, The Perverted Trio and joined the Student Council. Second day in and it already accomplished more than it expected. It wasn't sure how it would play out, but for the time being, it decided to give it a go.
However, for the time being it decided to do something it wasn't able to do thus far, exploring. Back in it's home city, the Knight explored every nook and cranny, not that it did anything, but it was something it did back in Hallownest as well. So, with it's mind made up, it began walking around the city, drawing a map of it using the supplies it had, sitting at a bench every now and then.
As it walked around the city it found itself in front of a church that had seen better days. The walls were damaged, the rooftop has partially collapsed, the glass in the windows was shattered. However, as it got closer, a figure appeared from the depths of the church. It was a male of some kind, wearing a fedora and long dark coat, that obscured most of the man's features.
"What are you doing here? It's a private area," The man said.
"...Exploring," The Knight replied.
"Then scram, boy. This isn't a place for you," The man ordered.
"...Alright," The Knight said, turned around and left, the man watching it as it left.
"Annoying kid," The man muttered, the Knight ignoring the remark.
Well, that was a bust, maybe other parts of the city would be better? So, it continued on, exploring the city of Kuoh, until it found itself in front of an abandoned mansion. However, before it could come inside, it felt something, the Void felt something, presence, very similar to the stray devil it fought around a decade ago. That made it frown, as it considered it's options.
It had no reason to move and attack the devil, it's Soul reserves were full and the stray devil hadn't done anything to it or to Hornet or the Hallownest. In fact, it would be better to leave it alone, it didn't want to use spells on it, nor did it need additional practice. However, before it could leave, it remembered the red rook it acquired over a decade ago.
It had spent many hours playing with, using the Void to learn more about it, even feeding it a bit of soul on it. However, the evil piece seemed to be incompatible with a biology of a vessel. All it did was act like a useless charm that didn't do anything and was simply absorbed into it's body, not that it minded. However, the Knight wanted to know whether or not it was possible to remove an evil piece from a body of stray devil without killing them. The reason for that was simple, it wanted to know how permanent was the transformation, when subjected to a power of soul?
Make no mistake, the Knight didn't want to turn into a devil and consuming the evil piece with the Void didn't do anything outside of losing the piece it possessed and gaining a bit of soul. However, it provided a lot of valuable data to it, so it wanted to see if it could do something with it. Reversing the evil piece was something that it got interested in due to its own past.
It was turned into a vessel against its own will, just like thousands of it's siblings. It wasn't possible to revert from being a vessel, nor did it want to. However, it wanted to know if it was possible to reverse devil transformation. Going stray and dying forever was worse than becoming a vessel after all, it was similar to being transformed by the infection and the Knight had no intention of letting more vessels be created ever again.
So, with it's mind made up, the Knight looked around, before it called upon the power of the Void. It's body changed, a giant white mask appearing on its head, it's body turning jet black, it's moth-wing cloak reaching to it's ankles. The end result was similar to Hollow Knight, before it was turned by the Radiance. It's perfect form, Pure Vessel, was very similar to what it had changed into. The only exception was the sword, as it's pure nail was too small to use effectively. Instead, the Knight summoned the Void and shaped it into a deadly blade of pitch black color, similar to how Pale King created the Collector and other void constructs.
Ready for the fight, the Knight entered the mansion and found itself facing yet another monster, this time female in nature. She had a lower body of a lion with a snake like tail, two wicked lances and an upper half of a woman. As soon as she spotted it, she growled, her weapons drawn, ready to attack.
"What do we have here? A yokai?" She asked, the Knight staying silent. "Heh, staying silent? No matter, I shall kill you and devour your body."
She then rushed towards the Knight, moving towards it faster than ordinary people could react. However, the Knight wasn't a human and the practice it had done over the years, not to mention all the experience it possessed made the devil seem as slow as a snail. Compared to the Radiance and her light based attacks, the devil might as well be standing still to the Knight.
It jumped above the devil, using it's moth-wing cloak to dash through the air, while simultaneously charging a nail art, before it landed behind the devil, forcing her to stop and turn around. However, before the devil could react, the Knight dashed forward and slashed using a nail art, separating four legs from the devil in one swift move, causing her to scream.
However, it wasn't done yet and quickly moved around, before it cut off both of her arms, the devil bleeding from it's wounds, not able to fight back anymore. She looked terrified, as the Knight walked up to her, before it plunged it's left arm right into the chest of the devil, silencing her instantly. Her eyes were bulging, as the Knight grasped the Evil Piece with it's left hand.
There he felt it, a rook just like the last devil it fought. It began channeling power of the soul through the body of the devil, while simultaneously pulling the piece. The devil screamed from pure undiluted agony, as her very soul was being torn apart in that very moment causing the Knight to stop. That's not what it expected to happen.
It considered it's option. It didn't want to leave the procedure half-done, but simply channeling the Soul caused the devil harm instead of reverting the process. It would have frowned in it's human form, but instead of giving up, it decided to call upon the power of the Void. The Void could be used to destroy, to devour, but it could also be used to give life, as evidenced by the Knight and the constructs made by the Pale King.
Black ooze like substance pooled from it's fingers into the body of the devil, before it surrounded the Evil Piece. Once that happened, the Knight resumed the process, feeding the devil soul at the same time. What happened next made it blink, as the devil began reverting back to human form, this time without screaming. However, the injuries she sustained proved too much and she died just as the procedure finished, a corpse of a woman with all her limbs cut off laying in a pool of her own blood, a brand new rook in it's hand.
It hoped it would have ended a little bit better than this, but beggars couldn't be choosers. Instead, it focused on the Void, as it devoured every single trace of the existence of the fight that occurred here, leaving nothing, not even the blood, with the exception of damaged furniture and floor.
Once it did that, it changed back into a form of human. Seeing no better option, the Knight began making it's way back home. What it didn't know was that a certain group of devils appeared in front of the mansion shortly after it had left, members of the Student Council with Sona at the front.
"Alright, everyone, a stray devil was spotted here, we shall dispose of it. Ruruko, Saji, I want you to be careful as you are the least experienced here," Sona ordered.
"Understood, President," Ruruko said.
"Got it," Saji added.
"Alright, Tsubaki, be ready," Sona said, while the girl nodded.
The group slowly made their way inside, searching for a stray devil that was reported here. However, instead of finding the devil, they found nothing. Sona scowled, as she began walking around the room, searching for their target.
"Something is off," Tsubasa Yura said, her fists ready.
"Indeed, where is the stray devil?" Reya asked, magic ready to be cast.
"Are you sure the devil was reported here, President?" Tomoe asked.
"I am certain, Tomoe," Sona replied, before she spotted a dent of some kind and walked up to it. Upon closer inspection, she noticed it was made rather recently and probably by some sharp object, a weapon perhaps. "… I think somebody could have come here before us."
"Why do you think that, President?" Ruruko asked.
"Take a look at this indent. It was made recently, this combined with the fact that there isn't a stray devil here means something must have happened," Sona explained.
"Should we look for other clues, Sona?" Tsubaki asked, while the girl nodded.
"Everyone spread out, but always stick to one other person, we don't know what happened here," She said and the group went to the task.
However despite thorough search, they were unable to find anything concrete. It became obvious that a fight occurred here, but what exactly transpired was a mystery. There wasn't blood, no traces of magic outside of the devil that used to live here, nothing really.
"This is unprecedented," Sona said, her peerage gathering around her.
"What could have happened here, President?" Momo asked.
"I am not certain, but I believe a third party could have come and taken care of the stray devil before us. However, I have never heard or seen of a case like that before. There is almost nothing left, which means whoever came here was adamant about not leaving anything behind," She explained. "For the time being, we should go back, I will send out my familiar to look for anything suspicious, I advise you to do the same."
"Very well, Sona. Now then, is there anything else we should do?" Tsubaki asked.
"I don't think so. Let us leave for now, but everyone be careful, we don't know what we are dealing with here," She said, the rest of the group nodding in response.
Ophis was lazing around, when she felt something, something familiar. "...It's back."
She recognized the feeling she felt at that moment, but unlike the last time, it was much weaker, too weak to properly pinpoint the location. However, this time, the location itself changed compared to the last felt she over a decade ago. She decided to investigate and found herself in the city of Kuoh in front of a ruined mansion.
She walked inside, not afraid in the slightest and looked around. She began walking around and found a similar scene to the one that happened over a decade ago. Traces of the fight, but no concrete evidence. However, she decided to take a closer look regardless. She could sense a lot of devil magic here, either a strong one or a group of them with a hint of dragon added to the mix.
However, she wasn't going to simply leave like the last time she did. Ten years was too long for her to wait again, she wanted to find out the source of it. And so, she began walking all over the city, trying to find something out of place. An hour or so later, she was ready to call it quits, when she saw a particular human with white hair and black eyes walking down the streets.
She tilted her head, the boy stopping and turning towards her, the two staring at each other from across the street. The Knight titled it's head to the side as it looked at the young girl with pointy ears and stilted pupils. She seemed… different from the devils it had met thus far. In fact, she felt different, unlike anything it had seen before. However, as it pondered upon the matter, the girl crossed the street and stood in front of it, the two staring at each other, the Knight easily towering over her.
"...Did you do it?" She asked.
"...It?" The Knight asked.
"The mansion, what happened inside?" She asked. It was more of a guess than anything else, the scent of the devil leading here, to the boy.
"...No," The Knight replied, it's expression dull.
"...Is that so?" She asked, while the Knight nodded.
She looked for any sign of deception, but she couldn't see anything. The boy was stoic to the boot, meaning, not a single trace of deception could be seen. Did she make a mistake? Maybe. However, she didn't intend to give up just yet. She was going to keep the eye on the human in front of her, just in case.
"What is your name?" She asked.
"...Knight, Arthur… You?" It replied
"Ophis," She replied, the two staring at each other.
"...May I leave?" It asked, while the girl nodded.
After that, the Knight tried walking away, but the girl soon followed, walking next to it, neither of the two saying a word, the girl glancing at the Knight every now and then. As Ophis walked next to the Knight, she tried sensing anything out of ordinary. Her enhanced senses tried sniffing for a scent of the Knight, but there was nothing, just an ordinary human.
Even when she tried sensing magic and the life force of the Knight, there was nothing… He felt empty… for the lack of a better term. Even the people that they were walking past had a spark in their eyes, something. The Knight though, it was different from them, from the supernatural world from anything she had sensed before. She was intrigued, by the stoicism, emptiness he seemed to emit. The two continued on, until the Knight found itself in front of it's apartment.
"…I am going home," It said and gestured to the apartment.
"...Okay," Ophis said, the Knight nodded, opened the door and left the dragon outside.
Should she come in? Maybe, but not yet. She found someone interesting and didn't want to break it by accident. For the time being, she was happy with simply watching the Knight. He reminded her of the silence she craved for, the silence of Dimensional Gap the Great Red had taken away from her. She doubted the Knight was strong enough to help her with that, but the sensation she felt was too familiar to ignore. She wanted to know the source of it and maybe, just maybe, find an alternative to the Dimensional Gap, her home.
The very next day, the Knight found itself walking earlier to school than usual, it's responsibilities as student council member already forcing themselves into it's daily routine. However, as the Knight was walking towards the school, familiar faces appeared in front of it, Sona Shitori was walking along with Tsubaki Shinra towards the school. The two noticed it and stopped, allowing the Knight to catch up to them.
"… Good morning, President, Vice-president," The Knight greeted.
"Good morning, Knight," Sona greeted him, along with Tsubaki. "I see you are taking the Student Council seriously."
"...Yes," The Knight replied as it began walking next to them.
"How are you feeling after yesterday?" Tsubaki asked.
"...Fine," It replied, while Sona sighed.
"Knight, can you try to speak in more than single words? As a member of the Student Council you need to be a shining example to the rest of the students," Sona said.
"...Why?" It asked, Sona raising an eyebrow.
"Why do you need to be a shining example?" She asked, while the Knight nodded. "If you don't do that, then it will make the rest of the council look bad as well."
"...Bothersome…," It summarized it's opinion. "… Can I leave the council then?"
"You just joined…," Tsubaki pointed out, barely able to believe her ears.
"As student council president it is my duty to make sure the students of the academy maintain a certain level of sophistication," Sona replied. "And while you can leave, I would advise against it."
"… Bothersome," The Knight repeated itself. "…Is it… necessary?"
Sona pinched her nose, not expecting a headache this early in the morning. "Arthur Knight, you are to be better with your vocabulary from now on, otherwise, I shall take away some of the privileges of the student council."
"...Cruel," The Knight said, making Tsubaki scowl, Sona sighed.
"I am not cruel," She said. "And what did I just say?"
"...You're cruel, President," The Knight replied.
"At least that's progress," Sona said, while sighing as the duo continued onward towards the building.
After that the rest of the walk was spent in relative silence, Sona and Tsubaki focusing mostly on the student council, not that the Knight cared. Once the group reached the school, they went straight to the student council, before unpacking themselves.
"So, Knight, I would like to give you your first task," Sona began.
"...Paperwork?" It asked, only for Sona to look at it with a knowing look. "...Is it paperwork, President?"
"Luckily for us, it is not. I would like you to find a perverted trio and keep an eye for them for the rest of the day. Find spots they could be using to peek on female students and prevent them from doing so. However, during classes you're to be present in your own class, they may be perverts, but even they can not sneak out from the class without some serious repercussions," She explained.
"… I understand, would you like me to beat some sense into them?" The Knight asked.
"No, I can't allow that. However, you're free to tell the Kendo club though or any club they might be peeking at," She said with a serious expression.
"… I see, president. Why are they still at school? Why not throw them out?" It asked.
To it's surprise Sona sighed, before shaking her head. "I am afraid that is something beyond me. If I could I would have thrown them out long ago."
"… I see. Thank you for telling me, president. I shall take care of the perverted trio," The Knight said.
"Very well, good luck, Knight," Sona said, before the vessel nodded and left.
Now, what the Knight had to figure out the locations the perverts could be using to peek at female members of the Kuoh academy. Now, the problem was if it was a pervert, where would it peek from. That it didn't know. However, last time they were caught peeping on a Kendo Club, which seemed like a good place to start. Now, since it knew that, it decided to head straight there. As it was walking there, it came across two familiar faces, this time dressed in their ordinary clothes instead of Kendo outfits.
"Oh, it's you, Knight," Murayama greeted it with a smile.
"Hello, Knight," Katase said with a smile.
"...Good Morning, Miss Murayame, Miss Katase," It greeted them.
"What's with formality? No need for miss," Katase said.
"...Very well," It replied.
"So, what brings you here?" Murayama asked.
"… I was tasked with catching the perverted trio, before they can perform more undesirable acts," It replied.
"Tasked? By who?" Katase asked and then noticed a badge on it's chest. "Hang on… is that… Student Council's badge?"
"… It is," The Knight replied, the two staring at him with their eyes spread wide open.
"You joined the Student Council? How?" Murayama asked.
"… Not sure," It replied, there were other students Sona could have chosen, but for some reason she decided to invite it instead. "… May I come inside?"
"Sure, come inside, we will give you a tour," Katase said, while the Knight nodded.
Once inside, the Knight began walking around, it's senses and connection with Void allowing it to find out multiple vulnerabilities in the structure of the club. There was a hole in the back, hard to see from the inside, which allowed others to peep through it. A loose panel, which could be moved and allowed for somebody to enter one of the vacant lockers, keeping them hidden from prying eyes. Those were the most glaring ones.
"We need to fix those as soon as possible," Murayama said.
"… Not necessarily," The Knight said, the two turning towards it.
"What do you mean by that?" Katase asked.
"...Perverted Trio, they will come here or some other place. You should punish them before you fix the issues, I will let the Student Council know about the issues," The Knight said.
"That's a great idea, but why are you telling us this?" Murayama asked.
"...Wasn't allowed to beat them myself, asking for your help instead," It replied.
"I suppose it would be a bad thing if the Student Council was seen as a violent institution. Okay, we will deal with the perverts, what do you intend to do now?" Katase asked.
"… Keep a lookout, see if they have got more spots they could be using," It said. "...Thank you for your time, Murayama, Katase."
"You're welcome, teach those perverts a lesson or two," Murayama said.
"We would invite you to the club, but with the Student Council, that may be too much for you," Katase said with a smile.
"...Unfortunately. Have a nice day," It said, bowed and left the room. Now all it had to do was tail the perverted trio and see what they were up to.
This proved to be easy, all the Knight had to do was wait at the gate at the gate for the trio to come. Once they did so, it began tailing them. Unfortunately, it seemed like the perverts would wait till the break, which forced it to come back to its own class and go through the lessons. On the flip side, as soon as the break started, the perverted trio went straight to the Kendo club.
This… didn't go well for the perverts to say the least. Not only was the Kendo club ready, they gave each other signs and ambushed the perverts before they could escape. The following beat down ended up with them being nothing more, but sacks of meat that could barely move. So, the Knight walked up to the Kendo Club, who immediately turned towards it.
"You were right, Knight, they tried to peep through the hole," Katase said.
"… Glad it worked," It replied.
"Hey, he is that guy from before, what is he doing here?" One of the girls asked.
"He joined the Student Council and is now helping deal with these three," Murayama explained, the girls staring right at the Knight and it's badge.
"Well mannered, member of the Student Council, enemy of perverts? I am calling dibs!" One of the girls yelled.
"You're not!" Others yelled, while looking at the Knight like it was one of a piece of meat and they were a bunch of hungry wolves.
"… May I go now? I would like to check other clubs for any vulnerabilities," It said, not noticing the lustful glares directed towards it.
"Wait what?!" Issei yelled. "You mustn't do that!"
"Shut up, Issei!" The girls yelled and smacked him some more with their wooden swords.
"We won't be keeping you, good luck, Knight," Katase said with a smile.
"… Very well, everyone, have a nice day," The Knight said, bowed, before leaving the group behind.
