Let's go to one more chapter of this thing, which is pretty big.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes or word changes. English is not my first language, I am still learning.


Chapter 2 - Reincarnated - Feeling Strange...

On a beautiful and sunny morning, it is possible to notice several people in the streets chatting and laughing cheerfully. However, the focus is two different people. They were walking in a complete silence. The sound of two-step steps can be heard for quite some time. The person who was walking in front, was a little nervous for some reason. She would take a little look back from time to time, only to see her golden brown eyes looking down as she walked. After a long time of walking they finally arrive at their destination.

A big school. Several teenagers with the same pattern of clothing were walking, chatting and laughing, however, they all stopped quickly and looked in a direction in complete shock. Walking in the direction they were looking at, was Rias Gremory the great Oneesama of the school and, just behind her was Hyoudou Issei. The leader of the perverted trio of the school. They all just stared in shock while some of them talked about a few things.

"I-impossible!"

"Rias oneesama!"

"Why is she with that pervert?"

"He's going to corrupt her!"

"That can't be!"

"Why him!?"

In response Rias was just walking with a little smile, and Issei seemed to be thinking. He was thinking about earlier today when his mother saw him with Rias completely naked in his bed. That weird thing...

At a multi-course dining table, you can see 4 people seated. Two adults and two young men. The adults were Issei's parents, and they had a nervous face. Rias was just smiling while eating the food. Issei seemed to be thinking deeply, something that left his parents completely surprised. They had even asked if he was okay to which he replied yes. Although they didn't believe it much, they let it go.

"So... what is your relationship with my son...?" Asked Mrs. Hyoudou with a slightly forced smile.

"We're good friends." Rias responded with a smile.

"What kind of friends sleep naked in the same bed...?" Dad asked.

"This sort of thing is common among friends these days," she replied with a smile.

'Who the hell would believe that?' Issei thought.

But soon after, he felt something strange. It was like a... peak energy...? He couldn't describe what it was, but he raised his eyes up, only to see something strange.

"I understand, so it's normal with kids these days, huh?" Your parents seemed to believe that.

Issei quickly cast a small glance at Rias who was just smiling. There was no way this could be considered normal. Did she do anything? He was also cursing himself for not remembering last night. She said they didn't have sex or anything, but what if she's lying? He was really going crazy here. But leaving those thoughts aside to focus on what was in front of him, his parents agreeing so easily... clearly has some catch on it.

However, something tells him that he will have the answer to all these questions later, so he hasn't said anything that might sound crazy in front of his parents. Right after they ate, they got ready and went to school.

There's also the fact that all that thing about the date wasn't a dream. His so-called 'girlfriend' was a fucking fallen angel. Rias told some things, but left others out. He'd probably have the answer soon. When he finds that bitch...

For some reason he was more concerned about his parents than usual. Make no mistake, it's not like he doesn't care about them, it's just something different. He didn't know what it was, but he'd pay more attention to it.

He is almost certain that today he will receive the answers to most of his questions. However, there's something strange he's been feeling since he woke up.

It was as if his body was limited in some way, making him feel completely strange. That was something new, since he'd never felt anything like this before. His instincts tell him that this woman in front of him, Rias Gremory, is responsible for this 'limitation' he feels in his body.

However, this only makes things even weirder. Why the hell does he feel that he's being limited in any way? Since he woke up it's all a little weirder though, it's wasting time thinking about something where you don't have the answers, so he just ignored it at the moment. He quickly took a look at the shocked faces of the students and turned to Rias' face who had a small smile.

He chuckled mischievously as he held his bag in one hand.

They quickly arrived in the school environment.

"I'll send a messenger to pick you up later," Rias said as he turned to him for a while. He just nodded in agreement, she then said goodbye. "See you later, Issei-kun."

' Messenger, huh? They're probably going to explain some things to me.' He thought.

Suddenly, he quickly moves his head to the right, dodging a punch that ended up hitting a nearby wall. He then raised his hand and stopped another fist that was coming towards him. Confused, he starts looking at his two attackers. Motohama, the one who ended up with his fist on the wall, and Matsuda, who had his fist closed over Issei's hand. Gazes and whispers of disbelief filled the room they were in. While he still held Matsuda's hand, he heard them.

"You traitor!" Motohama exclaimed as he stood up.

Issei raised his eyebrows because he didn't seem to have been hurt by hitting his hand on the wall. And by the speed he came, Issei doubted he could stop his fist in time. Issei had a hand behind his back, which was the hand he used to hold his purse, he then heard Matsuda speak too.

"Yes, you bastard! Explain it!" He even shouted with his fist in Issei's hand.

Issei let go of his hand while he was angry. "Explain what!? Explain to you why you wanted to hit me, you piece of shit!" Apparently, several people were looking at them.

"Explain what!? Of course it's the fact that you're coming to school next to the hottie Rias Gremory!"

Issei winked at it, and soon after, a big perverted smile appeared on his face. Matsuda and Motohama were in front of him, and then he looked at them both and began to speak quietly, in a dreamy voice.

"Tell me guys, have you ever been able to see bare breasts in front of your eyes?"

The two widened their eyes and froze. Issei with a victorious smile began to walk towards the classroom, losing the little look they both gave him.

...

...

Upstairs, watching everything, were two people. One was Rias, the other was a young woman in glasses with slim body, short cut black hair and violet eyes. Her name is Sona, Rias' best friend. She was watching the boy's two friends 'thaw' and run off, probably into the classroom. She then asked Rias.

"Is that him?"

"Yes... but... there is something strange..."

"Strange?"

"Yeah, let's see... How can I talk...? When he woke up with me naked next to him, he didn't look at me with perverted eyes. He actually looked confused. He, in no time did he look at my body. He was paying a lot of attention to my lines. He had a very serious face too... "

Rias commented with a little uncertainty. She was actually pretty confused about it. How could she expect someone with a perverted reputation, a person who spies on girls almost every day, could show an analytical and serious face like that? It was like he was planning something. Worst of all... is that she had the impression that he had no idea why he was acting like that.

Sona showed a hint of curiosity for this. "Seriously?" Rias just agreed to nod.

"Maybe it's because of your date? I mean, you told him it wasn't a dream or anything you'd imagine he could think, right? In that case, maybe he just got traumatized and listened to his words seriously."

Rias shook his head. "No, no, no, That's the weird part," she remarked bringing a curious look of Sona. "He... he seemed to be accepting everything quietly. In fact, the whole moment we talked he was strangely calm. It was like it wasn't the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard or seen."

"That... it's interesting. Is it possible that he had already known the supernatural before in some way?" Sona asked while she was siphoning her glasses. It was an unlikely option, as he had accepted to meet that fallen angel. Unless he didn't know she was a fallen angel. There are people who know the supernatural, however, they cannot distinguish or feel different races.

"Unlikely, " Rias replied. "We had researched him before, he had no supernatural knowledge. We even researched his family to see if they had any offspring. But they had nothing." She's concluded.

Sona seemed very curious about this fact. Was it possible that Hyoudou-kun somehow faked his personality? It was either that or he just knew the time to be serious. It was impossible for anyone to present such significant changes overnight. As she thought, she heard something that made her even more curious about this kid.

"And this... nor is it the strangest part," rias commented.

"What do you mean?"

"The moment I woke up, I felt him looking at me with cold looks. All my instincts screamed saying that the person in front of me was 'strong'. But as fast as that feeling came, he left."

Now that was really interesting. After all, the boy had died by a fallen angel easily. And he was 100% human before entering the nobility of rias. So how can she feel something like that?

"Maybe it has something to do with your Sacred Gear?" Sona deduced.

"... Probably," though Rias clearly wasn't confident of it, it was the only plausible explanation."

"Let's go back, we've wasted a lot of time. We'll talk about it later. This kid really caught my eye."

"Don't forget he's part of my nobility," Rias joked.

"Although it's true, don't forget that I gave up on him because of you and your little problem."

In response Rias could only agree. "I know."


Issei was in his classroom watching class. Or rather, trying to attend class. Paying attention to what the teacher was saying was a real challenge for him at the time. After all, he had several things on his mind to prioritize now than a useless math class. Seriously, why the hell is it necessary to learn these complicated things if he's never going to use it in his life? The basic math was enough, but no, the bastards have to put these damn equation shits!

"Mr. Hyoudou. Are you paying attention?" The teacher spoke to him.

Issei just looked up when answering. "If I was paying attention, you wouldn't have talked to me, would you?"

Some of his colleagues were a little surprised by his response. I mean, usually he always tried to dodge the question by saying he was paying attention, but he always ended up going to the front of the board to answer some question that the teacher asked. So seeing him assuming he wasn't paying attention was something new. What Issei didn't know and that began to spread some rumors about him practicing some martial art - due to the fact of his earlier feat - but that doesn't answer many things, after all, he always got beat up from the girls' Kendo club.

The professor had a frown on his face. "Trying to play the funny one, Mr. Hyoudou?"

"I'm just answering your question. You think I don't know you pick on me? Always talking the same thing and asking me to go to the board trying to answer some of that shit with equations that I'll never use in my life. You can find someone else to answer them from now on because I'm not answering anymore."

Issei himself didn't know why the hell he was saying this. One thing was certain, he was more attentive and his thoughts clearer. It was as if his voice came out by itself, it was as if he didn't accept any kind of mockery with him. It was really a weird thing to think about. It all started when he woke up this morning.

Most people had their mouths open with wide eyes. The pervert had answered the teacher. The other members of the Perverted Trio just stared with a smile and a thumbs up in Issei's direction. The teacher, however, was not enjoying the situation at all, as he was clenching his fists and clenching his teeth. He was going to say something, but at the exact moment the bell rang declaring the end of class.

"That didn't end brat, " the professor grumbled.

'Just go fuck yourself, damn teacher!' Issei thought as he began to get up and prepare his things.

"I didn't expect you to have a wild side, " a voice remarked.

As he looked in the direction, he saw who he was. Aika Kiryuu. She wears glasses, has golden eyes and slightly messy brown hair trapped in braids on each side. A classmate. She was basically the female version of Motohama, as both had the ability to visualize the sizes of the members of the others. In the case of Motohama, he has the ability to calculate the measurements of a woman's body just by looking, which earned him nicknames like Perverted Glasses'. Aika, on the other hand, had the ability to... tell the size of the 'member' of men, basically she was a complete pervert who had a frightening ability. Soon after, his other two friends came close to them.

"Yeah, that was awesome!" Matsuda commented.

"He showed that shitty professor who's boss," Motohama nodded his head several times in satisfaction as he straightened his glasses.

"Well, everyone has a different side that they don't show, right?" Issei answered Aika's question.

She was about to speak when the scream of several girls began to echo through the room. As they looked at the source of the screams, they immediately realized what it was about. It was Kiba. And he seemed to be heading in their direction, more precisely, in the direction of Issei. He just raised an eyebrow.

"Kiba!"

"What!? What does Kiba want with the pervert?"

"He's going to corrupt him!"

"You're going to get our prince dirty!"

"No!"

Kiba approached them with a smile. "Excuse me, can I borrow Hyoudou-kun?" He asked people near Issei. However, they did not answer anything, after all, it was Issei who did.

"What do you want with me, handsome boy?" Issei spat.

"I came here at the request of Rias Gremory." He replied still with his smile.

'So it's him, huh?' Frankly, why send him from all the people? Just because they were in the same class?' Issei wondered.

He turned to the others. "Guys, I gotta go." His two friends just looked at him with 'envy' while Aika had a playful look.

"Does Rias Gremory herself want to talk to you? Maybe spring is shining for you?" She said with a seductive and playful tone, with the aim of leaving Issei ashamed or nervous.

But that didn't turn out as expected.

"No, I doubt it. Also, stop trying to provoke me like that."

"Why, didn't it work?"

"It takes more than that to make me nervous."

"Are you challenging me?" She said as she adjusted her glasses with a smile.

"Possibly?"

Kiba along with the other people around just looked at the exchange with confusion and curiosity.

In fact, Issei was confused. Did he deny the possibility that spring was dawning for him? There's also the fact that he didn't get nervous or stutter at Aika's words. She always managed to make him nervous somehow. She also looked curious and surprised by this. But... whenever Issei thinks of some girl... Why did he feel that something was missing? There's also something weird. the fact that he or his friends didn't mention any porn DVDs or anything like that. They just got jealous of him hanging around with Rias Gremory, but they didn't mention anything else.

"Okay, let's go, handsome boy ," Issei grumbled after having finished arguing a little with Aika.

"Oh, of course," Kiba came out of his son as he began to walk in front. As they walked, Aika said another goodbye to him.

"See you tomorrow, Issei!"

"All right." He raised his hands giving a goodbye sign.

He and Kiba began to walk ignoring all the gossip about them. Issei really wondered if these people were right in the head, after all, some girls were having at least strange fantasies... Wait, now that they've reached the hallway, Issei's noticed something.

Since when did Aika call him by his first name...? There's also the fact that he unwittingly calls some people by their first name. An example of this is Rias. He would normally be more respectful and call her Rias-senpai, but he didn't. And she also didn't seem to care about the way he called her, so it ended up going through him without her realizing it.

He decided to ignore it for now. He can ask her later.

I followed Kiba and ended up heading towards the back of the school.

In this place, surrounded by trees, is the old school building. Apparently it was used a long time ago, but now it's abandoned and no one comes here anymore. old issei used to get goosebumps in this place, but now he doesn't feel anything anymore. It's so frightening to people that it was listed as one of the 'Seven Mysteries of the School'. The building looks very old-fashioned, all made of wood, but I don't see any broken windows and it even appears to be in good repair. It's old, but it doesn't look too bad.

"Buchou is here." Kiba said.

She's here? Is he talking about Rias? If he called her Buchou then is she president of this club?

It's getting more and more mysterious. Well, probably if he keeps following this guy, he's going to end up meeting Rias. And then some of your questions will finally have some answer.

They entered the two-story building and climbed up to the second floor. They kept walking, passing through corridors that seemed well taken care of. Issei realized that everywhere they passed there was not the slightest sign of dust. When you talk about old houses, you always think of insects, cobwebs, dust, but until now he hadn't seen any of it. I'm sure this building isn't abandoned.

Kiba noticed Issei's analytical looks as they walked. Even though Rias warned him that he was more than he seemed, he was still a little surprised. It was like there was no shortage of details for him.

Eventually they reached their destination. Kiba stopped in front of a particular classroom. Issei was a little surprised by the plate next to the door - [Occult Research Club].

'Hidden Research Club, huh? I feel like there's more to this place than meets the eye 'Issei thought as he looked at the nameplate.

"Buchou, I brought him here."

Kiba is waiting for an answer behind the wooden door. Then Rias replied.

"Yes, you can come in."

Kiba opens the door and Issei began to analyze his surroundings. There were strange words and symbols drawn from every corner. The floor, the walls and the ceiling are covered with strange signs. But one in particular stands out a large circle drawn right in the middle of the hall. Even with all this he didn't feel scared or affected in any way. He was actually indifferent to all this, something Kiba realized.

It looks like one of those magic circles and occupies most of the room space. He could feel something strange and creepy coming from there. There was also furniture, a pair of sofas and cabinets.

Looking away, he noticed that someone was sitting on one of the sofas. He knew that girl, she was a first year girl. Toujou Koneko.

Despite being a first year, she looks much younger, from primary school, because of her infant face and her small body. She's very popular for a certain kind of boys. She is also popular with girls, being considered a mascot, for being so cute. She was eating a sweet Yookan quietly. She always has that apathetic expression. If he remembers well, everyone says she's pretty cold.

"This here is Hyoudou Issei."

Kiba introduced him, and Toujou Koneko nodded. In fact, as inexpressive as she may be, Issei could feel that she was on guard over him. He quickly thought it was because of rumors about him being one of the perverts, but he felt it wasn't exactly because of it, although he thought it had something to do with it. Strange...

Issei nodded. "Nice to meet you."

With this, she turned her attention to the candy she ate. Hmmm.

SHHH!

Then Issei noticed a sound of water dripping from the back of the hall. Is it the sound of a shower?

He then realized that right at the bottom of the room had a shower curtain, and a shadow behind the curtain. A girl's shadow. There was a girl taking a shower. What? Does the room come with a shower?

The sound of rushing water was interrupted.

"Buchou, here."

Huh? Was there anyone else there?

"Thank you, Akeno." Rias' voice is heard.

Looks like Senpai's getting dressed behind that curtain. Issei started to turn red because he remembered what happened this morning. Senpai, you have a wonderful body. He won't need material for a long time.

"... What a lascivious face."

Someone mumbles. When he looked in the direction of his voice, he saw Toujou Koneko. I face her, but the little girl is just eating her candy. ... So you think I have a lascivious face. I ask for a thousand pardons.

The curtain opens, and Rias is standing there, wearing the usual school uniform. She's seductive, so her hair wet. She looks at Issei and smiles.

"I'm sorry I couldn't shower last night because I had to spend the night healing you from your injuries. So I took the opportunity to take one."

Oh, is that right? But isn't it weird to have a shower in a corner of the room? For some reason, all of Issei's instincts were warning that this was somehow a setup from the beginning, but he ignored it for now. He just looked at her with a perverted smile. However, he noticed someone behind Rias.

A brunette with a ponytail. The ponytail, which they said was in danger of extinction. The person who was known as the last ponytailed person in our school. The beautiful face that always smiled. The person who emanated a Japanese aura, a 'Yamato Nadeshiko', the ideal of Japanese beauty, although still a student, and also one of our muses, Himejima Akeno. Come to think of it, they always walked together, didn't they?

"Well, well. As it goes, My name is Himejima Akeno. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She presents herself in a very polite way, with a smile. Her voice is fascinating. However, my instincts forced me to be on high alert around her. Although different, she emanated an aura similar to that of his 'girlfriend' who killed him. He didn't know how he felt, but he decided to follow her instincts. As expected, people seemed to notice, but he didn't mind, Issei then introduced himself.

"I am Hyoudou Issei. It's a pleasure to meet you..." I think.

"It seems that everyone is already present. Hyoudou Issei. No, let me call you Ise, do you mind?" Rias asked.

"I don't care," he shrugged. "Also, it's really an impressive room for just 'one club'." He said.

"Oh, and what do you think?" Rias asked wanting to test Issei.

"Even though it's supposed to be an abandoned building near the school, I still find it difficult to get permission from it. So you or your family are more likely to have some power in this school," he explained.

Actually, he didn't know why he thought about all this. He would normally ignore something like that, but it seems that he thinks about these things in a natural and unconscious way. It was like your brain was used to it. That was definitely something totally weird.

The other people seemed to be surprised by his response, as they had a somewhat funny face. Even the white-haired Loli girl seemed surprised, although a normal person didn't, after all, she still had the same inexpressive face while she had a candy in her hand.

"Ara, ara. That's totally unexpected," Akeno said smiling with one hand in his mouth.

Rias recomposed himself. "Indeed. All right, in that case."

Rias and everyone else got up. She then started talking.

"We at the Hidden Research Club welcome a new demon colleague."

She studied her expression along with others, although she changed only a little, yet it seemed as if he wasn't impressed or surprised in some way. In fact, it was like this wasn't the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard, just like she thought before.

"Very well," Issei said as he sat on the couch.

His look that once had some bit of perversion was completely replaced by a serious and unforgiving look. Any and all indications of the leader of the perverted trio were gone, leaving only one person with serious and analytical looks.

Everyone was surprised by the change in tone and appearance. Even Koneko showed some expression on her face, even though it wasn't much, it was still something. Rias had warned everyone that Hyoudou Issei seemed to be something more than a mere pervert, although they didn't want to doubt their King, they still weren't quite confident about it. However, any doubts they had were completely squashed after they looked at the boy with golden brown hair and eyes sitting on the couch.

After a short time with people recovering from their surprise, everyone was sitting somewhere. Issei was on the same couch as Toujou Koneko, but she insisted on keeping his distance. He just let it go, and kept focus in front of him.

"Here's your tea." Akeno showed up with a xicara handing him over.

"I appreciate it."

He took a sip.

"It's very good."

"Ara, ara, I appreciate your compliment, fufu."

Akeno starts laughing, making 'uhuhuhu...'.

' What's wrong with this woman'. He thought with a drop of sweat.

Kiba, Koneko, Rias and Issei were sitting on the couches around the table.

"Akeno, sit here you too."

"Yes, Buchou." She sat next to Rias.

So everyone looks at Issei. Normally, someone would feel nervous about having so many people staring at him in that small space, but he just looked at them normally. It was like he was used to these situations or just didn't care about them.

"I'm going to cut to the chase. Here, we are all devils."

'It was really very direct...'

"By your face, you didn't seem any surprised. In fact, it's hard to tell whether or not you believe me. But you remember that black-toned man you saw, right?"

She was right.

"Yes, " he agreed.

"That was a Fallen Angel. They were once angels who served God, but who fell to hell because they had evil intentions. They are also enemies of us, devils."

Fallen angels, devils... then there must also be angels and gods, huh? He was strangely accepting it all quietly, as if it wasn't the most ridiculous thing he'd ever witnessed.

"We devils have been at war against the Fallen Angels since ancient times. We fight for possession of the world of the dead, also known as hell by humans. The world of the dead is divided into two areas, the Devils and the Fallen Angels. Devils form pacts with humans, receiving their sacrifice which increases our strength. The Fallen Angels, on the other hand, control humans to eliminate devils. In addition, they have the Angels, who come here by divine order to try to eliminate the two races. With that, we have all three factions. This has been going on since antiquity."

"I see. In that case, I assume this club is just a front for you?" He deduced it.

"You're certainly smarter than you look, yes, you're right. This place is just a front for my nobility."

'Nobility? Would that be her servants? Well, something tells me I'll know soon enough.' While i was thinking, Rias pronounced a name.

"Amano Yuuma."

To the surprise of all devils, he showed a look of anger full of contempt. However, she was very curious about something. He was accepting everything easily, which she appreciated, since it was easier to talk like that. However, this was very strange.

"Oh yes. That woman who pierced me with that spear I assumed was made of light? Is that where you came to save me?"

"Yes, when I arrived you were already in critical condition. The only way to survive was for me to resurrect you by turning you into a demon."

"You said you're enemies of the fallen angels, right?" Issei asked.

Though curious and confused, Rias replied. "Yes, why?"

Issei pointed to Akeno. "If that really is the case, then why is she with you?"

At that point, all the people in that room widened their eyes, all including Koneko herself. Akeno was the most surprising of all.

They just looked at Issei who was looking seriously at her. Rias began to think that Sona might be right and that this was his true personality. It was impossible for anyone to change so much overnight, even with what happened to him. It was either that or he just knew the right time to get serious.

Rias watched as Akeno shook hands on his clothes. She then started talking.

"Actually... Akeno is a special case. But I can assure you that she is our ally, apart from being my best friend."

He just looked at her. "Assuming you didn't answer completely, it must be something she or you don't like to talk about, so I'll leave that out."

She had not admitted that Akeno was a fallen angel, but she also did not deny this fact. So there must be something else in this story.

"I appreciate it. And please don't ever compare me to these 'things'." Akeno said in a voice totally different from the cheerful she was being.

'Well, she basically confirmed that she was a fallen angel, but she was in this place, so she was also a demon, right? Perhaps... a hybrid?' He thought.

"Changing a little subject," Rias began attracting his attention. "Could you tell me how and why do you think Akeno is a fallen angel?"

He seemed to think a little bit about what to say, since he had his hands together near his head. Then he raised his eyes to meet theirs and began to respond.

"I don't know how to answer accurately, though, when you mentioned Yuuma Amano's name, I remembered that night clearly. Although Akeno shows no malice to me, I still felt like I was near Yuuma again, not wanting to offend her," he said looking at Akeno, as she seemed to narrow her eyes when he compared her to Yuuma. "So... I can't explain it very well, but the basis is that." He's done.

Everyone seemed to think of his words.

' Was he able to identify a fallen angel? However, if that's the case, why didn't he take care of it or refuse to meet that girl? Everything is strange somehow. Maybe it's your Sacred Gear? It's the only explanation I can think of at the moment.' Rias concluded while his hands were together.

For him not to be able to identify Yuuma Amano but Akeno, it must be because of his Sacred Gear that seems to be awakening. The others also came to similar conclusions.

Already with Issei. He really had no idea how the hell he noticed it, but after Rias explained that she was a fallen angel, he realized that Akeno's presence was similar to hers. Even if she had no malice with him, it was still something he couldn't help but notice. Another case of the strange things that are happening to him after waking up. How the hell was he able to assume that? I mean, if he was always capable of it, then he would have realized when Yuuma came to him, right?

Maybe it has something to do with your supposed 'demon transformation'?

It was the only plausible assumption he could come up with at the time.

"Why did she kill me?" He decided to ask.

There was no way she just decided to play with some muggle human and do it for fun. There's got to be some reason. And he knows that they know what that reason is, not least because he doubted that they had quietly resurrected him for no apparent reason. He was strange again. In the old day he could never come to that conclusion that fast.

Rias went a little out of the looks Issei was giving her. She quickly recomposed and began to explain.

"The reason she approached you was to make sure there was something dangerous inside of you. She must have noticed a faint signal coming from that. That's why she spent all that time with you. So she was able to confirm. That you were a human possessor of a Sacred Gear."

Sacred Gear...

He'd heard that term before. Don't blame me, darling. Blame God for giving you that Sacred Gear.". That's what Yuuma said that day.

So there's one of these Sacred Gear inside your body...?

The next one to talk was Kiba.

"Sacred Gear" is a kind of irregular can that is granted to some humans. As an example, most of the people who have had their names engraved in human history are considered to possess some Sacred Gear. They use the power of Sacred Gear to make their name written in history."

"Even today there are people who have Sacred Gears among their bodies. You know those important people who are known all over the world? Most of them have Sacred Gear in their bodies." Akeno was the one who continued after Kiba.

Rias proceeded with the explanation.

"Most Sacred Gears have such characteristics that they are only useful in human society. However, there are exceptional Sacred Gears that are a threat to us Devils and Fallen Angels. Ise raise your hand high."

"Huh?" He was confused by your request.

"Just do it," she insisted.

Although he was confused, Issei began to do what she asked. Maybe it has something to do with this Sacred Gear.

"Close your eyes and think of something that is the most powerful thing you can imagine." She instructed.

The most powerful thing I can imagine, huh...? Normally he would imagine Goku, which was the most powerful thing he could think of at the time.

Nevertheless...

That thought was totally replaced by something new.

He then had a vision. The silhouette of a person. He could see your clothes. The person wore a hat that looked different from anything he had seen before. The hat on both the left and right sides, they bowed upwards and in half was another end of it. Gray and brown clothes, with a gray cape, black gloves with white details, pointed black boots. And in both hands... there was a dagger. They looked like twin daggers.

He didn't notice the outside world as he was confused as to why he saw it, however, looking around he saw all the people looking at him in shock and disbelief. Confused, he saw that they were looking more specifically at his left arm. As he looked at the reason why they were looking at him.

It was a kind of gauntlet covering his arm. He came equipped with something brilliantly flashy. It looked like a realistic, well-built fantasy accessory. It covered most of Issei's arm. There was a green gem in her hand area and her fingers were sharp. It was almost like a dragon's claw.

"The Sekiryuutei ..." Rias said in shock.

Hmm? Sekiryuutei?

Issei was confused, but everyone was looking at him with surprise expressions, even Koneko. That's your Sacred Gear then? He assumed it was something very good because of their surprise.

"Excuse me, but could you tell me what this is?" He asked pointing to his arm covered with the gauntlet.

"Ah-yes, " Rias came out of his shock as he straightened. The others have also come back to reality.

She started explaining.

"Her Sacred Gear is called Boosted Gear,she's in the Longinus class. There are 13 of them, and they all have the capacity to kill a god," she began by attracting an eyebrow raised along with a... lively look? "Its ability to make the user bend their power every 10 seconds."

"Wait, double the power every 10 seconds? What kind of cheating is that? Something tells me it's not that simple," Issei said.

As tempting and amazing as this Sacred Gear of his was, it still had weird spots. Doubling power every 10 seconds? He's sure there must be some side effects. And he had an idea of what it could be. Rias then began to speak, bringing certainty to his theory.

"You're right. It depends on the user's ability, how much he can handle from boosts. If you're over your limit, then you're probably going to pass out or something." She said in a surprise voice, still not believing that she had added the Sekiryuutei to her nobility.

"I see..."

"That explains why I needed all the pawns," Rias murmured.

"What?"

"Ah, it's just that devils use the chess system to reincarnate someone in their nobility. You took all eight of my pawns," she explained.

'So, depending on your potential, the bigger, the more pieces the person consumes?' He thought a little confused about this system.

Kiba, Koneko and Akeno just watched for the exchange of the two with some surprise. Kiba was very confused, even though he had not interacted with Issei in the past, as he seemed to have some grudge against him, yet he did not seem to be the kind of person who could act that way. Could he be faking his perverted attitude? No, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"I see. Changing the subject, can you tell me how you found me on the verge of death? It wasn't because you felt the power of that fallen angel, right?"

"Before i answer your question, I'd like you to answer one of mine, Ise." Rias said. He just gestured at her to ask her her question to which she answered. "Did you ever have any knowledge about the supernatural?"

She was really in doubt about that. He might not know the fallen angels, but that doesn't mean he didn't know anything else. She could see that all of her nobility were also curious about it, since they were paying full attention to Issei.

However, he shook his head. "No, no, no, That's the first time I've heard about it."

"Seriously?" She was suspicious.

"Yes, now answer my question, please."

Could he be lying? She didn't feel he was lying. She decided to save it for later, so she concentrated on answering his question.

"You called me when you were on the verge of death. I was called through this pamphlet."

Rias showed a brochure. He knew that brochure. When he waited for Yuuma in the marked place, a person handing out these pamphlets gave him one. It is a pamphlet with a strange magic circle and a catchphrase that read 'we have accomplished your wish'. Looking right, the magic circle in the brochure is an exact copy of the largest that is drawn on this floor.

"This is one of the pamphlets we distribute. This magic circle is used to summon devils. These days few people are willing to make the circle to call us. Now, we usually distribute these pamphlets to people who seem to be able to reach us invoke. This magic circle is quite safe and easy to use. That day, my familiar, disguised as a human, distributed it through the streets of the commercial sector. That's when you got it, Ise. After being attacked by the Fallen Angel, you called me when I was about to die. You wanted so much that you ended up summoning me. Normally my underlings, like Akeno or one of the others, would be called in."

'I wished so hard?' He wondered.

He doubted it somehow. Maybe his 'old self' really could have done it, but this 'new he' that he himself has been strange about since he woke up... he doesn't know anything anymore.

He's completely confused.

Rias noticed his confused look, but mistook it for something totally different.

"I brought you back, but like a Demon. Ise, you were reborn as a Demon of mine, subject of Rias Gremory. My subordinate demon."

PA!

At that moment, wings sprung from everyone's back but him. They were different from those of the Fallen Angels, they were more like bat wings.

'So those are demon wings, huh?'

He quickly felt something on his back, looking at him he noticed that bat wings also sprouted from them. That was the first time he really showed a genuinely surprised face all this time.

"Let's introduce ourselves one more time. Yuuto, please."

Kiba smiles at him after the Rias called his name.

"My name is Kiba Yuuto. As you already know, I'm going sophomore like you, Hyoudou Issei-kun. Mmmm, I'm a demon too. Nice to meet you."

"Attending the first year... Toujou Koneko. It's a pleasure to meet you. ... I am also a Demon." Koneko presents himself leaning his head

"My name is Himejima Akeno, and I currently attend the third year. I'm also the vice president of the Hidden Research Club. It's a great pleasure to meet you. Although I look like that, I am also a Demon, uhuhu."

Himejima bows his head respectfully. It's finally Rias' turn. She shakes her redhead hair is says bluntly.

"And I am their master and also a Demon of Gremory House, Rias Gremory. My House holds the title of Duke. Welcome to the family, Ise."

He really got into something crazy, huh?

But why does he feel like he's ever experienced anything crazier than that?


Currently, Issei was gone after she had explained a little about the three factions. He said he needed to think it over, which she agreed to.

Now all that's going on is, Akeno, Rias, Koneko and Kiba in the club.

"What do you think?" Rias asked them.

"He accepted everything very easily," kiba commented.

"Indeed. Although I didn't feel like he was lying about when He said he didn't know anything about the supernatural before..." Rias commented.

"... He was also able to identify me..." commented Akeno.

This was certainly the biggest surprise for her along with the fact that he was the Sekiryuutei of this generation. However, she expected him to go crazy or attack her at any moment, but he was strangely calm. He was actually very calm about everything. Even after finding out about his Sacred Gear to which he showed a smile after hearing about her, but even so, he still thought of everything carefully.

He was completely different from the perverted boy he was known for.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that. But you don't have to worry Akeno. He doesn't seem like the kind of person to hold a grudge just because a member of his race has hurt him," Rias said. . She soon realized that she was talking too much.

"Don't compare me to those bugs." She spat. She quickly wide her eyes when she let it out instantly. She turned to Rias and lowered her head. "I'm sorry about that... me-" She couldn't finish apologizing when a hand touched her shoulder.

"I know, Akeno. Do not worry about it."

Rias then turned to the only person who was silent. Koneko was eating another candy. But there was something strange. Koneko seemed to be acting differently. Although she's already like that, Rias realized she has something else. She seemed to be distancing herself too far from Issei. Initially she thought it was because of his perverted attitude for which he was known - although he hadn't demonstrated much today - yet she realized it was for something different.

"Koneko. Can you tell what's going on with you?" Rias asked.

"... What do you mean?" She answered softly.

"I know you, so there's no need to try to make a fool of yourself. I saw that you were behaving strangely near Ise. Could you tell me why?" Rias asked calmly.

Koneko was special. She came from a race that had a lot of sensitivity to auras or things like that. Then she might have noticed something they haven't noticed. Akeno and Kiba seemed curious and worried about Koneko. She chewed her candy while she thought. After a while, she finally opened her mouth.

"Dangerous..." she murmured.

"What?" Rias was confused, as were her other colleagues.

"He... he is dangerous..." She repeated it.

"Wait, why do you say that? I know he's a pervert but-" Rias couldn't continue when Koneko interrupted her.

"I'm not talking about that. When he entered the club I felt the aura around him. Era... an aura of death..."

This left everyone confused and Kiba and Akeno cautious. Koneko was able to feel what they didn't feel, so if she felt anything coming from Issei, it was probably true. But dangerous? He had barely joined the supernatural and had no knowledge of anything about him, how could he even be dangerous? Nothing made sense.

Kiba and Akeno came to Rias-like conclusions, but were still thinking deeply about something.

"Koneko... can you explain this better? I mean, he just joined the supernatural now, how could he be dangerous to us?" Akeno asked.

Koneko raised his head to look in her direction and began to speak.

"I... I do not know... I just felt it. However, she disappeared after a while. But that kind of aura... it was not a good thing..."

"Perhaps you somehow felt the aura of the dragon's soul that is in Issei-kun's Boosted Gear?" Kiba suggested it.

Yes, his soul. Y Ddraig Goch Emperor Red Dragon Welsh Dragon. They didn't tell Issei about him, because they assumed he'd find out at one time or another. Although they were not absolutely sure of this, after all, they never had the Sekiryuutei along with the devils before. They don't know how he and his hosts talked.

However, what Koneko said was a strange thing. And seeing as how scared she looked a little, she must be telling the truth. Koneko then answered Kiba's question.

"Unlikely. I didn't feel anything draconic coming from that aura... it was purely his."

It left them in a confused and alert state. Nothing made sense when it came to Hyoudou Issei. He was known only as a pervert before anything, so why are things around him so complicated!?

"Maybe that explains why all the pawns have mutated," Rias muttered.

Yes, that was something she hadn't told him yet. When she put the pawn pieces to reincarnate Issei like a demon, it had not worked. Initially she started with 1 piece and soon went up until she reached all. However, none of them reacted.

At the time she had become desperate, but seconds later, all the pawns began to glow and suffered what appeared to be mutations. She wasn't really sure if they were mutations, because the pieces were different from the pieces of mutations she had already seen.

They assumed a White and Black coloration, with some of the red details of their piece that still remained in them after the change.

"Still no idea what that could have been?" Akeno asked.

"I've already contacted my brother about it, he said he would talk to Ajuka-sama about it, since he was the one who created the evil pieces."

"I see..."

They were a little silent until Rias decides to speak again.

"Let's discuss this some other time. However, I want you to keep an eye on him, especially you Yuuto, since you are in the same class as him."

"Understood."

"Let's go."

...

...

...

Issei was in his room lying with his head up looking at the ceiling. He thought about the last things he learned before he left the club.

Rias was talking to Issei about the other things. There was something she said caught your eye.

"Most of the original Devil perished in the war that happened a long time ago. Because of this, we began to collect servants in large numbers. However, the Devils do not now have the same strength or influence they originally had when they led their troops. That's exactly why we need to keep increasing our numbers. Like humans, devils also divide into gender, males and females, and are capable of generating. But natural growth in this way is very slow, devilss have a low fertility rate. With that, we couldn't be owe the Fallen Angels. Therefore, we seek out humans with good potential and turn them into devils. I mean, like servants."

"Then I'm just a servant." He said with an unhappy face.

"Oh, don't make that face. Now I've reached the most important point. As this i said only increases the number of servants, that of powerful devils remains the same. To solve this, the Devils decided to give a chance to the reincarnated devils, the reincarnated of humans. It was decided to grant access to the hierarchy of nobility to the reincarnated who show great power. That's why there are many powerful devils among humans. There are also demons who, like me, have come to live in human society. Ise, you may not have noticed, but surely you go through devils daily in this city."

"So does that mean Devils are always between us...?"

He really wanted to hit his head on the wall right now. How the hell didn't he notice that? Seeing all the people in this club, they're all really beautiful, so of course there was something supernatural involved in that shit! He really wouldn't be surprised if the entire student council were another front to hide the devils...

"Yes it's right. There are even people who can instinctively distinguish who the devil is. Those who are very greedy or wish to receive help from devils can identify us more easily. We are usually summoned by these guys, who make use of these leaflets, with the magic circle, which we distribute. In Ise there are even people like you, who despite being able to distinguish us from not believing in the existence of devils. Most, however, come to believe when they witness the use of our demonic power. "

"Wait a minute... what about saying that if I go up the rankings I can have my own nobility?" He asked with his eyes wide-eyed a little.

"Of course. It's not impossible. Obviously you're going to have to work really hard, for a long time to get it."

A nobility of his alone. A nobility full of girls...

That means he's going to be able to have sex with all of them, right?

However, upon having this thought, he quickly had a minor headache next to several chills. He didn't understand why, but his instincts were warning him of something. He for some reason thought that at some point he'd be really screwed over it...

She then proceeded to explain to him about her duties as a low-class demon. Basically, he will have to hand out flyers for a long time. The worst thing is that he will have to do it himself, after all he doesn't have any family members like them.

A relative. Something they explained to him. Basically, some of them can take human form and they deliver the pamphlets instead of their masters. He's really going to do everything he can to get a family member quickly. And if possible, he wants one that take the form of a hot girl. Again he had another chill...

'What the hell is going on with me having these chills?' He wondered.

She also told him to watch out for light, since in her words, it was a deadly poison to devils. Apparently, the fallen angels and angels were mortal enemies of devils because of light.

He also had his question about his parents answered. Apparently, she cast a spell to make them accept things in good shape. But he warned her.

"Never use magic on my parents again without my permission." Rias quickly turned his eyes to their words.

The motive? His look and tone came out very coldly. She quickly agreed, thinking that he only cared a lot about his parents. However, even he didn't know he'd talk to her that way. The words came out on their own, without him being able to stop them. However, he didn't say anything about it, since she agreed.

But while in bed, Issei remembered something.

"I forgot to ask if my reincarnation has anything to do with me feeling my body being limited in some way..."

That didn't make sense. According to her, his body was greatly improved, and he was still going through changes, so it will take a while to get used to. So he ended up putting it aside, thinking that with when the days pass and he gets used to that feeling will go away.


It had been a few days since his rebirth as a demon. As he had just been reborn as a demon, he was told that he should study about demonic society and how it works. They told him to hand out these brochures to get used to it.

It's been a while since he was handing out these brochures.

Issei was also introduced to the contracts. Basically it was something that all devils did, luckily, he had enough demonic energy so he didn't have to walk to people's homes on foot. He was already doing that by handing over the brochures. He could use his bike, but he didn't.

The reason for this is unknown even by him. It was as if he wanted to walk long distances to train somehow. It was a strange feeling, but he even liked her. So he delivered the brochures on foot and went to make the contracts with some people...

But... there was a problem...

He couldn't close the contract with anyone!

Those contractors motherfuckers!

He quickly became jealous of Kiba. Apparently, most of the people who hired him were women. Damn you! What kind of contract does he make?! Could it be sex?! Or something involving sex?! He had thought with anger and envy at the time.

...

...

...

...

"Lost Devils. There are beings who are called so."

A Demon who was converted to another Demon's servant with a Title of Nobility, but who betrayed his master.

Cases like this rarely occur. The power of a demon is enormous. They don't like the strength of a mere human. Thus, whoever achieves this power ends up wanting to use it for their own selfish interests. Also, those Fiends who cast aside their master and cause destruction in different places.

That's a Rebel Demon. The fallen angel Donassek wearing a suit mistook Issei for a Lost Demon. In other words, a lost dog.

Lost dogs cause great problems. When they are found by their master or by some other Demon with the order to kill him, they are eliminated on the spot. That's the law of devils.

Other creatures, such as fallen angels and angels, see them as a threat and eliminate the wayward devils when they encounter them. There's nothing scarier than a Demon who doesn't follow the rules. It was Rias who said that.

Issei walked to the building outside the city, followed by Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko. Almost every night, a Lost Demon would appear.

Apparently, this too is the work of a devil. Eating a human... There are evil devils like that too... is attracting humans to feed. Then, a high-class demon asks them to eliminate him.

Normally, that would be downright disgusting to many. But Issei felt no fear. He was a little nervous, of course, after all, it would be the first time he had seen a Lost Demon.

Yes, they are devils after all... It's midnight. It's so dark. The grass around them is very tall. Issei could see the building from here. It's one of the perks of being a Demon, having clear vision at night was good.

"...smell of blood..." Koneko muttered.

Koneko covers her nose with her uniform after saying this. Smell of blood? Issei quickly closed his eyes and tried to smell the blood Koneko was talking about.

Amazingly, he felt it. It was weak, but he could feel it. He had to work a little hard to get it done. The doubt of saying that to others was going through your head. But something told him to be quiet, and he did. After all, there's something more serious for him to focus on at the moment.

"Ise, this is a good opportunity to experience your skills in a fight." Rias said something that could be considered reckless.

The truth was, she wanted to see how he would try to handle it.

Issei was thinking for a while... Will he fight? Demon lost...

A hunter must hunt.

That voice again... and it seemed like he was the only person who listened to her. Suddenly, he imagined himself 'hunting' this lost demon. A great shiver rose over him.

"I-I think it's best to just observe, after all, I'm new at this." He answered insecurely.

He didn't know why he refused, but something inside him made him refuse for some reason. Was it because Rias and the others were here? If so, why? Doesn't he want them to see something...?

Rias just looked at him and nodded.

"Okay, today just focus on seeing how we fight. I'll also explain the characteristics of each servant."

"Explain? What characteristics does each servant have?" Maybe she's talking about that chess system that devils use to reincarnate their servants?

"Devils that have their masters, gain unique characteristics by becoming servants... Yes, probably at this very moment it will be easier to tell the Story that surrounds the Devils." She said when she turned to me.

"I explained a little bit about factions a while ago. A long time ago, there was a three-sided war between devils, fallen angels and God with his followers of angels. The three parties had large armies and fought for eternity. As a result, the three parties have lost their troops and the war ends after hundreds of years with no winners."

Kiba continues soon after Rias.

"The devils were no exception. Great Noble Devils who commanded about 20 or 30 troops lost most of their subordinates during the war. They lost so many who were unable to build new armies."

Akeno took over.

"I have learned that most purebred devils died in the war. After the war, many problems arose for devils, fallen angels, and God. While the fallen Angels and God have lost most of their troops, we are not in a position to let our guard down if we would not have serious problems."

"So the devils decided to use a system to form small groups of soldiers. And then came the [Evil Pieces]." Rias said.

"Evil pieces... the chess pieces?" Issei deduced.

Rias had spoken that he had taken all eight pawns because of his Sacred Gear.

"Yes. Noble Devils have decided to use the rules of a human game, 'Chess' for their Demon soldiers. It was also that it became an irony, since due to most of the servants reincarnated in Devils were Human. Since then, the game of chess has become popular in the world of Devils. Let's put that aside now. Devils who are masters are the [King]. Which in our case is me. So they created 5 special pieces consisting of [Queen], [Knight], [Rook], [Bishop] and [Pawn]. It is now possible to create an army. They said to have a small number of devils and give them enormous power. This system has been used in the last hundreds of years, and this has inexplicably become very popular among the Noble devils."

"What do you mean popular?" He asked.

He was very curious. Why choose a method using chess pieces being only possible to get 16 servants? This is if not taken into account in the servos that can consume more parts as is the case of Issei himself, since he took all eight pawns. That meant he was worth eight people.

"They began to compete between them. For example, like, "My knight is stronger" or "No, my rook is stronger!" As a result, Upper-Class Demons began playing a game like Chess between them using their Demon servants. Which we call "Ranking Games." Anyway, this game has become very popular among the devils. Now, there's a tournament of his own. The strength of their [Pieces] and also how strong they are in the games, affects their social position of their devils, and their title of Nobility. There is something also called [Gather Pieces] where they gather humans as talent and make them their [Pieces]. It's very popular recently. Powerful servants gaining recognition."

'I get it. So if you're strong in games it means you can become a splendid Demon. It also converts with his pride' He thought.

"I'm not a strong Demon in any way, so I can't even participate in an official tournament. Even if I want to, there are things I need to pass on before I play. In a nutshell, Ise and my other servants here won't be able to participate in a game for a while."

The demon world seemed to be stranger and more complex than Issei expected.

Issei would say something, until he quickly gets on alert. His instincts were warning him about something. And so i felt, a voice echoed all over the building.

"I can feel something disgusting. But I can also feel something delicious. Is it sweet? Is it sour?"

A low voice is coming off the ground.

If it was the old Issei, he sure would have panicked and been scared about it. But he just stood there. He was a little nervous, but nothing out of the ordinary... if that's normal after all, since he woke up nothing is normal.

"Rebel Demon Vaizor. We're here to eliminate him." Rias said.

"Ketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketa..."

'Was this really supposed to be a laugh? Which is, at least try a little.' Issei couldn't help thinking.

Nggh...

A topless woman appears from the shadows, but the woman's body is alike.

Steps.

They're heavy steps. Soon after appears this body and that of a giant beast. It's disgusting how unnatural that way, having a woman's top and the bottom of a monster. Something is coming out that looks familiar to a spear in both hands. At the bottom of the monster had four large paws with sharp claws. Is it a snake tail?

That's why they were called 'Lost Devils.'

However, unlike feeling disgusted at this 'creature', Issei was just looking closely at her. He shook hands. He wanted to fight it. He didn't know why, but he wanted to kill that thing...

Kill...

Since when did he think about killing someone so indifferently? Of course, that's what Rias and the others came here to do, but still...

"Leaving aside your master for your own tastes definitely deserves death. In the name of the Duke of Gremory. I will happily eliminate him!"

"You're brave young girl! I'm going to tear your body apart, I'm going to make it red as your hair!"

"Yuuto!"

"Yes!"

Kiba, who was on Issei's side, accelerates to buchou's side upon receiving the order. Fast. He's incredibly fast. However, even moving at high speed, Issei could see him, although he had a bit of difficulty in doing so.

"Ise, let's start the explanation," Rias said. Realizing how he said nothing, she turned to him and saw that he was looking in kiba's direction.

'Is he able to keep up...?' She thought with some surprise. He then turned to her confused, she realized he was listening, then began the explanation.

"Yuuto's position is the [Knight]. Its characteristic is speed. Those who become [Knights] have incredible speed. Normally someone new wouldn't be able to keep up with you, but you seem to be able to do that."

"Although it's a little difficult I can see a little." He said looking at the fight.

The monster is using his spear attack, but it didn't seem to him that he would hit it.

"And Yuuto's ultimate weapon is swords."

Kiba stop and suddenly is holding a European Sword. He bag the scabbard, and the sword he removes is reflecting the light of the moon.

Su!

Kiba suddenly disappears again. At that very moment, the monster's cry was heard.

When Issei looked, both arms were cut from the torso along with the spear. Blood comes out of your wound.

"That's Yuuto's power. A speed he can't match with his eyes alone, and his skill with a professional's sword. By combining these two, he becomes the fastest knight."

'Skill with a professional's sword?' Although Issei had never taken a sword before, he thought it wasn't even close to a professional's sword skills...

A shadow surrounded the monster's legs... It was Koneko.

"Next up is Koneko. She's a [Rook]. The characteristic of the rook is..."

"Damn insectooooooo!"

Rias quickly took a look at Issei and saw that he was very calm. It was as if he knew he had no danger to Koneko.

The huge monster tried to step on Koneko, but he was unable to step through. The little girl with her fragile body is raising the monster's foot.

"Let me guess, the rook has incredible strength, doesn't it?" Issei deduced.

"Yes. The characteristic of the [Rook] is absolute force. And also a great defense. It's impossible for a demon of that caliber to step on Koneko. It cannot be crushed."

Koneko completely raised the monster.

"... Fly." She jumps high and strikes the monster's stomach hard.

"Koneko has an extreme force. She carries me like a princess." Rias joked.

"Although it seems to be that it is very slow, " remarked Issei.

Although she had incredible strength and defense, her speed was a complete joke. Of course, he sure wouldn't want to get punched by her, but if he wanted to, she'd never catch him if that was all her speed. People should work on everything rather than just focus on what's strong. Of course it's good to focus on your area though, what if you're good at all of them? The enemies would be screwed.

Wait a minute. Why the hell is he thinking all about it? He really wanted to bang his fucking head on the wall to try to stop these weird impulses from his mind by analyzing things around him like it was an RPG game or something.

Rias then turned to Issei and was frightened for a brief moment.

"Ise?" She asked.

"Yes?" He answered by turning to her.

"You... are you all right...?"

"Hmm? Why wouldn't I be?"

"No... it's nothing."

For a brief moment, Rias swore to have seen a manic smile on Issei's face as he looked at that Lost Demon. Could she have imagined that...? She remembered Koneko's words. Dangerous... she really hoped it was just something in her head. She then turned and left for the last person.

"Lastly, Akeno."

"Yes, Buchou. Ara Ara, what am I supposed to do?"

Issei quickly narrowed her eyes at her... Why does he feel like this woman is crazy?

Akeno was laughing as the monster comes towards him after being struck by Koneko.

"Akeno is the [Queen]. She's the second strongest after me. She is the unbeatable Vice President of our club and has all the other characteristics of [Pawn], [Knight],[Bishop] and [Rook]."

Guuuu...!

The monster finally stares at Akeno. Akeno just monstra a gloomy smile after seeing the look of the monster.

"Ara Ara, it seems that they have taken a lot of energy from you. What am I going to do?" Akeno raises his hand while he was saying that.

At the same moment, time closes, and lightning illuminates the monster.

Gagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga

The monster is electrocuted again. It looked like he was already dying. And so, Akeno the fulmina with a third lightning bolt. Akeno's face monstra a cold and scary smile while having struck the monster with his lightning.

"Sadistic?" Said Issei. It seemed more like a confirmation than anything

Rias sighed when she answered. "Yes, unfortunately. Akeno excels at using demonic powers. She can use natural elements like lightning, ice and fire. And on top of that, she's definitely a sadist." She confirmed it.

"Incidentally, she is very kind, but when the fight begins, she does not stop until she calms down. But you don't seem too scared about it. People are usually scared when they see this side of Akeno for the first time."

"Oh, I'm scared as hell, " remarked Issei looking expressionlessly at Akeno having fun electrocuting the monster.

Rias strongly doubted he was serious. He was, however, thinking about throwing his head against the wall at full speed to see if he could remember something that was missing, how would he explain? 'Oh, I feel like I've met someone like that, so it doesn't seem like I'm scared.' The hell he will say that!

"Ufufufufufufu. How many more rays can you take? Sure? Monster? You can't die, okay? The only person who's going to get you is my mistress. Ohohohohohohho!" Akeno's laughter echoes throughout the building.

Laughs just went a little. And for a few minutes, Akeno's lightning attack continued. After Akeno calmed down, Rias confirms something with his head. Rias confers on the monster who has lost his will to fight. Rias raises his hand to the monster.

"Any last words?"

"Kill me." That's the only thing the monster said.

"Then disappear."

A giganta mass of demonic power was fired from the palm of Rias. It was so big, it covered the monster's giant body completely. The demonic mass of power devours the monster's body. When the demonic power disappears, the monster's body disappears next to it. Like Rias said, he's gone. Confirming this, Rias sighs.

"It's done. Good job everybody."


It had been a few days since the others had taken care of the lost demon. Currently, it was midnight.

Issei had finished handing over his brochures. He finished a little earlier than usual. He assumed it was because he was used to the devil's body. However, the feeling that he was being limited was somehow still there. It wasn't as much as before, but it was still something that made him uncomfortable.

He was walking towards his house. Initially, his parents were worried about him coming back late, but Rias resolved with his magic after Issei gave permission. As he walked quietly in the early hours of the night he turned up.

He saw the Moon shining in all its splendor. For some strange reason, he was attracted to the moon. He shook his head a little and went back to walking. There was no one on the streets at that time.

But...

Her body started to shake. He started looking in all directions. There was no sign of anything, but...

... Looking in a specific direction, he could feel something. The direction he was looking at led directly into the forest . . . He quickly looked in the direction where his house was, and then... he turned in the opposite direction. He pressed the step toward the forest.

As he neared his destination, he could feel his blood boil. It was something so new and at the same time he thought it was something he hadn't felt in a long time. He stopped questioning his thoughts as he had no answers to his questions at the moment.

Each time he took a step forward, he could feel his blood boil more and more.

So... after walking for about 20 minutes, he finally arrived at the entrance to the forest. Looking inside her, he could tell for sure.

Whatever is attracting him is within this forest.

Normally, people would call him crazy for going into the woods in this darkness like this. That would usually scare normal people. But Issei? He wasn't scared at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

He was excited.

He went into the woods.

He began to wander with no apparent direction, until he noticed something. In some trees around them, there were claw marks on the top of the trees. There was no way to be a bear, since the claws were bigger. And it also didn't seem to be any land animals that live in the forest, since he doesn't know any of them with claws that match the ones he was seeing at this very moment. So there was only one option left.

Flying.

Was it some kind of bird? It was the only explanation, but there's also a problem for that. He thought as he looked at the claw marks on the trees.

'What kind of bird has nails that size?'

As he got deeper into the dark forest - which he could see very well thanks to having become a demon - he began to smell a stench. It was a strong smell of disgusting carrion. However, contrary to what he thought, he didn't feel disgusted or want to leave that place. He was really enjoying the smell. That thought really started to scare him for the first time. Was he going crazy?

As he walked he found the source of the smell right in front of him.

In front of him, there were four large bodies completely torn apart. He recognized the size.

Human.

Human bodies.

However, this was not the most ridiculous.

Right behind these bodies, there were about 3 of what appeared to be giant crows. They all noticed Issei. The crows' mouths were painted red, with the blood of the victims they were 'eating'.

Now, usually someone would have been very frightened to find three human bodies torn apart in this way with various parts sticking out of their bellies and other places, however, Issei just looked indifferently. In other people's eyes, they would probably think he was used to seeing bodies that way.

'What the hell is that!?' He thought alarmed to see the three 'crows' lift their wings. 'Isit some new kind of lost demon that Rias forgot to tell me!?'

He really thought he was screwed and he was going to die again.

But...

As opposed to being frightened by these creatures, he was actually being attracted to them. Then without realizing it, he had invoked his Sacred Gear.

The crows took a small step back.

The motive?

In front of them was the silhouette of a boy with a red gauntlet with claws in his hand. He was wearing a very disturbing smile as he looked at the three crows. In their view, there was a monster in that silhouette. After a while, they lost their fear and began to spread their wings.

Although Issei didn't notice the manic smile he was showing, he didn't want to know anything else. He needed to kill these things. Yes, he needed to hunt them down.

A hunter must hunt.

The same voice echoes in your head. However, he didn't care about her anymore.

Wasting no time, he set off on top of the three crows that flew towards him. All the while he kept that ghoulish smile.

The first hunt in the Awakened World begins.


I'd like to apologize if you find this chapter boring, but it was important to introduce Issei to supernatural culture and a bit of the devil, and also see how his personality is getting different, although it still seems for a few moments that he's a good old pervert issei us We know. He also repeatedly asks himself why he is feeling different, but still doesn't have the answers.

I tried to put all the basic explanation in this chapter, so we can get it over with so you don't have to watch some explanations appearing in one chapter or another. Of course this will still happen for explanations about other things, but the basics are already here.

In order not to just stick with the supernatural explanations in the chapter, I gave a sample at the end to spice things up.

Although Issei doesn't remember the dream, her brain and body react alone to some things. This is because he stayed long during the dream, so think of the gods, hunters and all the beasts he killed. That's also a reason not to make him remember soon, after all, he would be very OP at first, which I find kind of boring. I have nothing against with people who make a super OP protagonist, but seriously, what's the fun? I mean, the guy's going to get out there and end the whole fight without a hard time because you know he's OP. Of course it has some exceptions, such as stories that are not fully focused on the battle, or if they are they have as another focus.

An example of this is my story. "Is it wrong to be an Eminence in the Shadows?" Danmachi. Ali is about Bell being OP, but there's comedy that's her biggest focus, and although I'm new to this comedy I have a lot of fun writing it.

You will find that this chapter contains some important tips. Are there other hunters besides Issei? If yes, who are they? This will all be answered eventually, but first of all I have to go through the first season of the anime, which will probably be the only one that won't stray too far from the original. There will still be several major changes to the course, but things will really start to improve in the second semester onwards. I'm also planning some original arcs for much later in history.

In the next chapter, we will probably have the first conversation between Issei and Ddraig.

Can anyone tell me how to change the font of the letters? Although I apply it in Word, when I move here the letters don't stay with the font I used before.

Comment what you think of the chapter. Your comments give me encouragement to continue writing. The more the better.
