"So you're never heard of porn before in your life!?"
It had been a week since Asterios Minos made his grand entrance into Kuoh Academy. And since then, he had made quite a presence.
With his huge stature and physical appearance, he was quickly becoming a top member of the Track Club. He had joined after a rather impressive performance on his first day as well.
Then there was his seemingly deep friendship with the School's Mascot Koneko Toujou, with rumours of them dating in secret but they were keeping it hidden from everyone else. Of course, the fact that they were living together was more than enough to spread even further rumours.
He was like a rising star, and with his intimidating appearance he was unapproachable.
At least that's that everyone assumed him to be. Their fears of his stature, or his possible demeanour and attitude, drew them away from interacting with him.
Only Koneko Toujou regularly hang around Asterios. Any time that she wasn't with him, whether it was due to class or it was because she went to her club early, Asterios was usually seen alone.
Which left him vulnerable to the trio of perverts to be corrupted. For once the students could blame only themselves for letting such a thing to happen.
There was one consolation however.
"no," Asterios shook his head at the shocked looks of the three students lying beside him, he himself was sitting with his legs crossed. The four of them were at a grassy hill that looked over Kuoh's track field. A group of girls were running laps, some of them looking his way. "i've never heard of this 'porn' you speak of."
It was that Asterios seemed to be completely immune to their attempts to draw him into their perversions.
The three perverts let out strangled gasps at his answer, their ears not believing what was being said in front of them. At a distance, Asterios could hear what seemed like squealing and sighs from the girls who were running.
Either they had fallen or they needed to train their endurance more.
"How?" Issei asked, bewildered "To live this long, but without knowing such a thing?"
"i never needed it to survive" Asterios answered his question. And it was true, as long as he had food and a place to sleep, he had gone through his life as well as he could. He never needed whatever this object the three of them were talking about.
"But that was just surviving," Matsuda leaned close to him, the bald student was the only one of the three that had the confidence to really approach him "How did you live?!"
That made Asterios pause as he tried to find the difference between them. After all, living was surviving wasn't it?
"It seems," Motohama sat up, pushing the bridge of his glasses with his middle finger "That we must help this lost lamb, and teach him the proper ways of men." He turned to Matsuda "Matsuda, bring out Issue 5 of Big Bazongas!"
Asterios turned away from the trio as he could suddenly feel eyes staring at the group.
He was unaware of the conversation happening between the trio.
"Why the heck should I give him a peek of that?!"
"Weren't you the one going about 'Living' and not 'Surviving'?"
"Yeah, but I ain't giving him that. 'Sides, he's dating Toujou-Chan, my sympathies only goes so far!"
"Just give me the magazine you bald jackass."
"Asterios-san!" The seven foot tall student turned away from the pleading looks of the girls of the Track Team, to face Issei who had called him.
He was standing up, making it the only time Issei was taller than him, and shoved a book into his face.
Asterios was vaguely aware of the angry screaming from the Track Team below, but he instead focused on what had been shoved into his face.
"Well?" Issei grinned "Isn't it just the best?"
"Entrance aren't you?" Motohama was next to speak "I can't blame you."
"That's a high level collectable," Matsuda sounded proud "Ain't no one got a treasure like that. What do you think?"
Asterios blinked and tilted his head "i think that the woman on the cover is probably very cold. where are her clothes?" It was an obvious statement of fact, even he had his sash around his waist without his human disguise.
That cause all of them to jolt in place. They looked amongst themselves, and Issei hesitantly explained "Th-There's supposed to be naked Asterios."
"ah so she's just showing her chest," so they were showing him how to dress? Well it wasn't much use for him, at school he had to wear a shirt and he never really wore anything other than his sash and corset whenever he followed his president for 'Club Activities' "then i am fine issei, I don't need this."
To his surprise he saw the three of them fall to their knees, the magazine hitting the grass with a soft 'thump'.
"Too far gone," Matsuda wheezed out.
"Such a poor soul," Motohama sobbed.
"We couldn't save you," Issei punched the ground "Damn it."
Before Asterios could ask, his attention was drawn to Yuuto Kiba. The blonde student was watching him and the three with a smile on his face. Their eyes met, and Yuuto called out "C'mon Asterios, we have club activities remember?"
"okay," he nodded his head. Turning to the three distraught students he spoke "i have to go now for club. i'll see you tomorrow issei, motohama, matsuda." He moved to stand up, but stopped when Issei suddenly reached for his wrist with one hand.
The other hand held the magazine that he had just dismissed.
"Please," He offered it towards him with desperation "At least, take this."
Asterios glanced at Motohama and Matsuda, and the two of them nodded with tears in their eyes.
"okay."
[Scene]
"I saw that you were having a good time with the Perverted Trio." Yuuto said as the two of them walked towards the old school building.
"i like talking to them," Asterios replied "beside you, koneko, president and vice-president, they're the ones that aren't afraid to me." He paused and nodded with a hum "and i like that they aren't afraid."
Yuuto laughed "I'm glad you found some new friends Asterios," he patted him on the back "Maybe you can introduce me to them?"
"i'll tell them you said hi."
Soon the two of them reached the old building. Yuuto walked in first, saying a greeting, before he followed.
Rias Gremory was at her table, looking over some documents. Akeno Himejima was beside her, pointing out certain forms. Koneko Toujou was sitting on the couch, but she was at the very edge and she was munching on some snacks as usual. Which left room for Yuuto Kiba to take a seat as well.
"hello president, hello vice-president, hello koneko," he greeted everyone that was inside. He turned to the gigantic chair that Rias had ordered for him specifically, and took a seat.
The moment he did, Koneko removed herself from her current seating position, and moved to plop herself down onto Asterios' thigh. All without saying a word, or stopping from eating.
"Did you have a good day today Asterios?" Rias asked, glancing up before her eyes turned to another form on the table.
"yes," he nodded his head "i… 'hung out' with the Pur-ver-ted trio today."
He heard Koneko let an annoyed growl through the melon bread in her mouth.
"Did you have fun?" Rias couldn't help but smile, even as Koneko directed a small glare at her direction.
"they were…" he paused for a moment before he continued "nice."
"And did you notice anything strange about Issei?" Rias asked, this time her voice had a touch of seriousness to it.
Asterios nodded a bit "some energy. not human, but too deep."
"Is that all?"
"yes" Asterios answered. Then his eyes lit up as if he remembered something. He reached into his pocket.
The pen in Rias' grip clattered on the table as what she saw, her jaw hung fell open.
Akeno's eyes widened as the smile on her face grew.
While Yuuto was looking away, as he tried to hide the panicked grin on his face.
"by the way koneko," he held out the magazine in front of him and the small girl "issei gave me this and said i should read it, but i don't understand some of the words. can you help read it with me?"
There was a chocking silence in the room as Koneko stared at the 'explicit' magazine in front of her, that held a very voluptuous and very naked woman.
"we can read it with gasper."
Koneko bit down on the melon bread and grabbed the spine of the magazine, plucking it from Asterios' hand. She brought it in front of her.
And tore it right in two.
Outside of their hearing, three pained screams could be heard, but they went ignored by the club members.
She dropped them onto the ground with two distinct thuds, and looked up at Asterios.
He looked more than little surprised and shocked at her actions. But she kept a straight face "You don't need to read that." She said like it was final, and gave no room for argument.
Asterios looked at the shredded magazine, and shrugged "okay."
