Here is the next chapter!!

For those who read this story of mine, I really, really, appreciate it. I didn't think that this story would be getting a follow, let alone favorite.

Also, A very big thanks for shob-vce-zloby-zdoxli, who gave me a review. many thanks, man. I really got motivated writing this chapter when I saw your review. and about that, I will tell my answer at the bottom of this story.

Also a little bit of information, this chapter will be a flashback. this is where he met the person who will break down the walls he made, after all.

Without further ado, Let's go on the story.


"Hello" - Speaking

"Hello" - Thinking

Hello - Flashback

(3rd Person P.O.V)

As he walked through the school grounds, a familiar feeling of silence has entered through his ears. He can't help but feel satisfied since there was no one to bother him.

'As always, this feeling doesn't get old.' thought Zen.

When he arrived at his classroom, the first thing he did was got to his desk which was beside the window on the last row, he then took out his headphones and listen to some musics as closed his eyes, allowing silence to take over him and making him enjoy his musics comfortably.

He was thinking about the times he was interacting with some people. Although it was few, it was enough for Zen to doubt if he wants to continue this... charade.

It has been 3 months since he enrolled in the academy and the people he interacted with can be counted by fingers. There was Sona and Taubaki-the women who knew his real identity

but still wasn't afraid of him. They were still cautious of him, but not enough to make him uncomfortable.

Then there was Rias Gremory and her friend, Akeno Himejima. They were famous in the school because of how gorgeous they were, both in face and body proportions that they were called the "Three Great Onee-samas",(Is that what they were called? I forgot.) With Sona as the third one.

He interacted with them a few times, mostly greetings since they were classmates, and some are when they wanted help and was just happend to pass by on that situation.

The third one, unexpectedly was the infamous pervert trio, but he mostly interacted with the so-called leader of the three, Hyoudou Issei. He first interacted with them one day when the kendo club finished beating them after they got caught peeping.

--Flashback--

It was lunch time when Zen heard a scream of agony at the end of the hallway as he was about to climb the stairs.

Getting curious, Zen went to take a look at the source of that sound only to see a multiple girls armed with shinai ganging up 3 miserable boys.

Zen can't help but rose an eyebrow when he saw a green-haired girl wielding two shinais on both of her hands with another one on her teeth before she rushed to beat the trio thoroughly.'What was that?' Zen thought.

After standing there in exactly 10 seconds, dumbfounded at what he saw (although just a blank face), he decided to get closer to stop them but before he could, he recognized the 3 boys and the girls were ganging them up.

It was the Pervert trio.

And the one holding the shinais was the Kendo girls, probably because they caught the boys again peeping at them while they were changing.

"..." Zen did not say anything. He was still watching them with a blank look on his face, still unreadable what he was thinking.

He was planning on leaving them just like that to eat his lunch on the rooftop, until one of the three boys being beaten up called him."

H-Hey you there! Please help us from these demons!" Screamed the one wearing glasses.

As the girls heard him talk to someone, they turned back to see who he was talking to.

"Z-Zen-Senpai! What are you doing here!?" Exclaimed one of the girls.'

I'm just here to look at what happend here to see what's happening?' or so, Zen thought, after he was cut off by one of the three boys.

"Hehehehe. He is here to save us! You probably didn't know, but he is our Phantom Fourth Man! He isn't showing it, but he's a full-fledged close pervert!" Chuckled the bald one of the three.

After Zen heard what the bald one said, he could not help but frown his brows a little, and taking his headphones out from his ears and placing them in his neck.

"W-What!? Then are the rumors true!?" Shouted one of the girls.

"What rumors?" Asked the pink-haired girl from the girl who just shouted.

"About how he hypnotized Sona-kaichou and Tsubaki-fukukaichou by letting him touch their breast!" Exclaimed the girl.

"W-WHAT!!!???" Shouted the trio."Hey! How did you do that!? Can you please teach me too!?" Asked The brown-haired boy; Issei.

Zen was just at loss of words. He also sweatdropped at what Issei just said. did he really just believed that?

He didn't know that there was some rumors about him surrounding the school like that. He was sure there was, but he just didn't expect it to be like that.He didn't need to question everyone to find out who the person that spread this rumor to the school. After all, they were right in front of him all this time.

If it was him the many years ago, he would've probably rip out their heads out of their bodies, regardless if there were witness or not.But as the years passed, he gained some tolerance to these kind of things; He was used from these kinds of things. being called by something like this, it was no big deal for him, except for one word.

But still, after leaving something in the underworld that even the Maous would fear, being called a pervert over something like that is a hundred times better, for him.

"I-Is that really true, Senpai?" Asked the pink-haired girl to Zen.

"About what?" He replied.

"About those rumors, we just can't imagine you doing something like that. On the student council President and Vice President, no less. But, if those rumors are true, then..." The brown-haired girl in a ponytail answered this time, not being able to believe what she just heard. A little bit of disappointment available on her voice.

"..." Zen did not say anything. Instead, He just stared at the pervert trio. mainly, The bald one and the one wearing glasses.

The two boys can't help but look down of guilt from being stared by Zen. From what a few seconds passed felt like a few minutes for them.

After staring them for so long, Zen decided to speak up."I don't care."

"What?" Was all they could say. Both the three boys and the kendo girls.

"If that's what you think about me by listening to those rumors, then I don't care. If you plan on making me miserable by spreading that kind of rumors, then I suggest you to stop it now before the student council does it first."

"The only reason why I occasionally went to the student council is that I'm indebted to them and they needed help. Nothing more, Nothing else. Still, I don't care rumors like that continues to spread in school. It doesn't mean you can break something that is already broken, after all." Exclaimed Zen.

After hearing this, The Pervert Trio, except Issei, started to feel guilty on what they said after understanding what he said behind those sentences.

But then Issei, who didn't do anything bad for him started to feel unpleasant even though it was not directed to him.

He didn't know how his Senpai feels right now, but he knew how it feels to be alone, as he was also alone when his only close friend left him for England.

From what Issei saw, Zen was always alone. Except for the few times he interacted with the student council and the teachers.

But even with that, Issei saw that his eyes were still as hollow as it was whenever he was alone.

The sadness in his eyes still lingering there, like it was there at the time he was born.

"To be honest, I was planning on helping you guys by telling them to let you off the hook-" As the boys heard this, their faces starts to beam out but then vanished, except for one person.

"But from what you did, I think Issei will be the only one I will let off the hook, for now. If you two still wish to change." Continued Zen. As the two boys heard the rest, the one wearing glasses, Motohama's shoulders lumped down.

"Why is it only this guy!? Isn't he also a culprit here!?" Shouted the bald one; Matsuda.

"Hey! Why am I getting dragged down to this!? I didn't know that you were spreading rumors until now!" Issei retorted.

"SHUT UP!!!!!" Shouted Matsuda and Motohama.

"Well, can you let Issei off the hook this time?" Said Zen to the Kendo girls.The kendo girls were going to say no but then, it was Zen that was asking so why not consider?

"We could, but-" the pink-haired girl of the kendo club; the vice-captain of the kendo club, Katase said.

"Can you please give us a reason to do so? They've been doing this since we formed the club and haven't stopped ever since, so..." The brown-haired girl in ponytail; the captain of the kendo club, Murayama continued.

"The reason is simple. He didn't peek." Said Zen, with a straight, blank face. While pointing a finger to Issei.

"WHAT???" All the kendo girls, including the two boys, couldn't help but look at him with dumbfounded faces.

"Wait, Sorry. Let me rephrase that. It's not that he didn't peek, he just couldn't." Rephrased Zen as he put up his hand that was pointing Zen as he apologized.

"What do you mean that he couldn't, Senpai?" Murayama asked.

"How about you ask him yourself? I will verify it if what he said is lying." Said Zen, as he again pointed at Issei.

After Zen pointed at Issei, all of the kendo girls, even the two boys looked at him. Although Matsuda and Motohama glared at him, telling him that there will be consequences if he betrayed them.

"There's no use of glaring at him, you two." The two boys jumped a little after hearing what Zen said.

"But why is it only him that'll be let off the hook!? Didn't you said that you didn't care what we said about you!?" Shouted Matsuda as he stood up, pointing his finger at Issei. While Zen was still in his emotionless face, the girls were glaring at Matsuda after hearing what he said even after what Zen told about them.

"It's simple. While it's true that I didn't care what you said, I care too much about those that are near to me, you see. And-" Zen stopped as he walked closer to Matsuda, still staring right at Matsuda's eye.

"You and four-eyes just put a mud into the student council's name, by spreading false rumors about them. As I said earlier, I don't care about it if it's only me, but you just included someone. Not just someone, but that someone is someone that I care about."

"Besides to be honest, I think the kendo girls pounding you with shinai is better than if I was the person who will be pounding you, because I don't know what will happen to you if I were to do that right now." Zen continued. His face now near Matsuda's, staring at him with his crimson, emotionless eyes, which made Matsuda shake a little because of how creepy it was to see Zen's eyes.

Eyes with no light, emphasizing its darker color which Matsuda finally realize,

To have something like that on Zen means...

What Zen had been through his life was enough for people like him to lose their rational mind.

And that he can't just believe that Zen was able to withstood that much and still able to think normally.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Matsuda fell down to his knees, suddenly losing all of his strength in his legs.

"Well then, It seems like we're running out of both topic and time so, why don't say it, Issei?" Said Zen as he cracked a finger with his thumb, telling him behind the sentence to hurry it up.

"I..I'm...well...ahem, I'll try to be honest here." Said Issei as he tried to prepare himself for what's to come.

"To be honest, I really want to see those magnificent body of yours, especially your oppai-" as he said that, all of the kendo girls made a scowl in their face as they covered their chest.

"But thanks to these two, RATHER THAN PEEK, I CAN'T EVEN SEE A GLIMPSE OF IIIIIIIITTT!!!!" Continued Issei, as he shouted at the top his lungs.The girls just had their mouths hung at what Issei just said.

"After that, I'm the one who will be beaten up by you girls as they run away, unscathed. I don't mind it if I got to see it since I deserved it, but to be pounded to death like that, it's not fair." Said Issei, still continuing his rant.

It seems like he was so frustrated from what have they done to him, both the kendo girls and the two boys.

Zen was impressed. Not because of how he easily accepted to the girls that he wanted to see them in their glory, but how he respected the girls by saying he deserves to be hit after seeing their...nude bodies.

As for the kendo girls, they were dumbfounded. They didn't know how to respond after what Issei said.

He just admitted to them that he deserves being pounded by them only if he saw them first.It was even more surprising when he said that he didn't even got a glimpse of their body, let alone peek it.

"Umm... Sorry?" Was all Katase could say. Even Murayama was at loss of words.

"Nah, I don't need your apology. As much as I hated to admit it, I truly deserved that one." Issei just waved his hand off for them, telling them to not worry about it.

As Issei said that, the kendo girls suddenly had newlyfound respect towards issei. They were thinking along the lines, 'If you look at carefully at close, he look pretty cute.' while having a little red tint on their cheeks.

"Really?"

"Yeah. in exchange, let me see your opp-" Before Issei could finish his sentence, he was suddenly chopped behind his head.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence." After chopped Issei on his head, he then let out a disappointed sigh to confirm his disappointment.

"Geez, and here I thought that you actually had respect over privacy of the women." After Zen said that, All of the girl's newlyfound respect on Issei was gone at one swoop. All of them disappointed, but some was silently considering it; mainly, Katase and Murayama.

"Next time you do that in front of me, I will chop directly at your neck." Exclaimed Zen, having a little bit of threat on it. Issei also straightened after hearing it.

"So, what would you do? Will you let him go?" Asked Zen as he once again took a look at the girls, mostly Murayama and Katase, who were lost in their thoughts.

"Ah! Sorry! I was just lost in my thoughts." Apologized Murayama as she bowed to Zen.

"S-Same here." Said Katase who also did the same.

"I can see that, and I won't question about it. So, what is it? You agree?" Said Zen, getting a little bit frustrated because of how much time he used in his free lunch time.

"Y-Yeah. Although he tried to peek in us, he can't peek thanks to his friends so... All of you agree?" Asked Murayama to her fellow kendo girls. She then saw them nod their heads as a sign of confirmation.

"U-Umm... What about us?" Motohama asked Zen nervously, having been silent until now.

"Take your punishments willingly." Was the only thing Zen said to them as he and Issei started to walk away.

Taking that as the signal to continue, Murayama, Katase and the other kendo girls continued pounding Matsuda and Motohama until they were satisfied.

As they walked away, Zen and Issei could hear sounds of shinais pounding something hard and the two boys' screams of agony throughout the hallway.

As the two of them were walking through the hallway, Issei was silent along the way. He could still not believe it, A Senpai who had the worst reputation in the school in courtesy of his friends, had helped him from being beaten nearly to death and was now on his front, just walking away from the crowd.

'He's obviously going to a place where there are few people.' Thought Issei.

True to his words, Zen stopped at the front of the stairway through the rooftop, to take his lunch on a silent place where no one will pay him no mind.

"What? Are you also going on the rooftop? Not that I mind the company, but..." Asked Zen as he turned to glance at the brunette on his tail.

"..." Issei was silent the whole time after Zen asked him. Until Zen was about to turn his back on him, he asked.

"U-Umm, could we please become friends?" Asked Issei as he held out his hand towards Zen.

"Friends? Why do you want to be friends with me? Also, isn't this a bit fast?" Asked Zen, having a little bit of confusion in his voice.

He was not planning on making friends in this town. At least, until he graduated in high school. He was planning on rejecting any of the requests asked on him on the spot but in this case, he was having doubts.

He's having a hard time rejecting this guy because he felt something inside him, something very familiar, and he was sure that maybe in the future, they would become the best of friends, supporting each other.

That's what his instinct, his intuition, his Mystic eyes was saying to him.

"Umm..., Well.., to be honest, I don't really know either." Said Issei. But before Zen could retort, Issei continued.

"But...for some reason, Everytime I see those eyes of yours, overflowing with sadness, I can't help but think of something that I can do to help you, I guess..."

"True, I may not know anything about you, but I do know what you are feeling right now. I know the feeling being left alone, and it's one of the worst things I've ever felt..."Issei finished as he starts to scratch his right cheek with his finger.

Zen can only stare at him for a moment, until he started to speak.

"You do know that I don't swing that way, right?" Was all Zen could say.

"W-Wha!? O-O-Of course not!! Why do you say that I swing t-that way!!?" Issei retorted.

"Because the way you said it was like a confession." Said Zen with a blank face, pointing a finger at Issei.Issei could only stare dumbfounded at what he said, lost of words.

As Zen saw his face, he could not help but let out small chuckle full of suppressed emotions.

As Issei heard him chuckle, he went wide-eyed. Like he discovered something new.

Deciding to break the silence, Zen spoke.

"From all of the people in the school I could find, I didn't think that my first friend would be one of the infamous Pervert Trio." Said Zen as he showed a rare small smile.

"Y-You mean!?" Asked Issei, as if to confirm it.Holding out his right hand, like what Issei did earlier, he spoke.

"Yeah, but don't call me something like Senpai or anything like that. I hate formalities." Exclaimed Zen.

"Yeah! Nice to meet you, Zen!" Said Issei with a wide smile plastered on his face as he handshaked the hand that was hold out for him.

"Yeah. Me too." Was all Zen could say, thinking about the last time someone called him his/her friend.

--Flashback End--

Ever since then, Issei occasionally hangs out with Zen after Issei and his Pervert friends were beaten to pulp by the Kendo girls.

Since it had been a very long time for Zen to have a... friend beside him, He was having this strange feeling of peacefulness in his chest Everytime talk about each other. Yes, it was strange but at the same time, pleasant for him.

He also asked Issei where did Issei got his perverseness from. Issei replied by saying he met an old man after his closest friend left to England. that old man was reason of what he was right now, because he explained to the kids like Issei how gorgeous was the body of the women and his glorious adventures of...seeking big oppais.

Zen just sweatdropped at the old man. why did he taught that to the kids when they're still not in age, of course that will ruin their minds just by thinking about it.

but still, that maybe was the reason why he was dream to him. that, and the power residing him.

after a few interactions with him, Zen realized what was the power within Issei.

It was a Sacred Gear, items with powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by Biblical God.

And the one Issei had was one of the 13 Longinus, Sacred Gears that has the power to kill a God.

And what surprised Zen was that he was too familiar with the one Issei had, like what he felt in their first interaction.

why can he not be surprised about it? it was the sacred gear of the person he personally loved with all his heart, and the one who caused him this much... grief.

It was the gear that contained one of the two heavenly dragons, Y Ddraig Goch who was called the Welsh Dragon, the Boosted Gear.

He then promised to himself that he will train him if he ever got dragged into the world of supernatural.

but still, thinking back to his interactions with his first friend after a long time of isolation, he can't help but have a small smile on his face.

Still, can he be able to take it? Can he move on? He again made a friend, a human no less. Beings with small lifespan. Even after he can't move on his last...grief, can he take this one and move past through it and stand strong? Even he himself didn't know the answer.

He even thought of the words he used in that day. Of course, he really cared about the student council, mostly Sona and Tsubaki. He was greatly fond of the two because of how they care about him, even though he was mostly broken. He was just like a toy car, disassembled with the parts thrown away everywhere. But toy cars can still be repaired as long as the parts can be found, it will soon be repaired to its glory just like before.

As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard the bell rang because of his enhanced hearing. Taking out his headphones and placing them on his neck while slowly opening his eyes, he could now see that the class was now full of students with their teacher just arriving in time.

He also saw Sona and Tsubaki arrived just ahead of the teacher before she could enter, going to their respective desks with Sona at the front row, middle column. As he saw them both, he couldn't help but feel something tingling inside his stomach. Just what in the world was this?

'Well, there's no use of pondering it right now. I can just find the answer someday.' Thought Zen as he focused in the discussion of the teacher.

But he didn't know, someone was looking at him at the time he made a small smile on his face. Three seats away from him, 45 degrees. A black- long haired girl with a glasses containing heterochromatic eyes was glancing at him with red tint painted on her face.

'Just who is the person you're thinking to make you smile that, even if it's small?' Tsubaki frowned, jealous of the person who made his first love smile like that...


Yes!! Chapter 2 is finished!!!

So how was it? good? bad? boring? review it and I'll try to do what I can..

Yeah, I made Matsuda a little antagonistic in this chapter. because his face reminds me of hardheaded person who don't give a f*ck whether it's a senior or not he's fighting.

About the toy car example, I just added that because I felt like adding it. he will be repaired in the future chapters, after all. XP

And also, I made it clear here one of Zen's power. yep it's Mystic Eyes. if you don't know, Look up at the Kara no Kyoukai Series. His Mystic Eyes came from that anime, and it's too badass to not include it here.

hint: it's used by a female there and male in the other universe.

His Mystic Eyes is not a sacred gear, he doesn't have one, nor does he need it. He got this Eyes when he was created or to be exact, the time he was born.

I also didn't say this in first, but Zen will be using some elements in the other animes, just few of them that will make him OP.

Yes, you heard it. He will be OP, but he isn't going to fight every single enemy out there. this is a little bit spoiler, but let me tell you. only this. He sealed his power, only leaving the Mystic Eyes unsealed because of what happend to her. if you know who it is, then please keep it for yourself.

About shob-vce-zloby-zdoxli's review, that was what I intended to. This will be a harem story where Issei and Zen have their own harems. Issei will still get his harem in the Canon, except for one that will go to Zen's harem.(She will be on the next 2 chapters.)

As for Zen's, I have them on lineup, just to write how Zen will react to them, like a certain silver-haired maid not married in a certain Maou. Oops.

The women I will confirm in Zen's harem is Sona and Tsubaki, who you saw in the last chapters how she react to Zen. There will be more of them two in the next chapter.And also about how many of them in the harem, I'll think about that as we progress through the story.

With that finished, I'll see on the next chapter...
