The Blonde Nun
Months later
After school, Lance was sitting comfy chair inside of the Knights of Chivalry with both of his feet resting the teacher desk. The KOC clubroom was completely refurbished with four couches, a coffee table, and two bookshelves full of books. Lance had both of his hands resting behind his head, with a relaxed expression on his face.
KNOCK KNOCK
Lance later heard a knock at the door, he then stood and opened the door revealing to be Rias and the rest of the Occult Research Club members. He looked at them with a slightly confused expression on his face, he then directed them to walk inside of the classroom.
"Uh, what're guys doing here exactly?"
Lance had asked.
"Despite just being a cover for my family, the Occult Research Club still needs to turn in an actual report about Youkai and other supernatural creatures. And you seem to be more knowledgeable than you look."
Rias had answered, with a slight smile on her face.
"I'm going to take that was a compliment. You want me to help you write up your report. Well, I'm not doing anything now…so alright."
"Thank You, alright all we have to do is…."
"Oi, Lance I'm already finished with…."
At that moment, Issei then walked into the classroom and he looked towards everyone with a slightly confused expression on his face and he looked towards Rias with a slight blush on his face.
"Oh, hello Rias-Senpai."
"Hello, Ise."
As Rias smiled towards him Issei started blushing slightly, he then walked towards Lance who was smirking at him and whispered.
{Lance what're they doing here?}
{They needed help writing their club's report.}
Issei only nodded in agreement with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, Lance then directed his attention towards the bookshelves.
"You guys can find anything that you need in some of these bookshelves, they're filled with all sorts of information about Youkai, and other Supernatural creatures. So you're free to pick any book."
"Okay, what's this…?"
Van then reached forward towards a certain book that was on the shelf, but Lance immediately took the book off of the shelf.
"Sorry, but this is file is kind of personal."
"Okay."
Van looked at Lance with a slightly confused expression on his face at Lance's sudden reaction, but he then ignored it. And Lance started helping everyone in the Occult Research Club with the report for their club, while getting to know them more. Once they were finished Rias held the report in her hand with an appreciative expression on her face.
"Thank you for your help Lance, if there's anything that I could do to return the favor."
"Actually there is, apparently there are some demons who thought it was a good idea to attack an orphanage near the Vatican and I'll probably be gone for a day or two. So, can you guys keep Ise-Kun company while I'm gone?"
"Oi, Lance what're you…?"
"It's alright, I really don't mind…I've actually been trying to get closer to Ise."
At that moment, Issei started blushing with an embarrassed expression on his face and Lance smirked towards the expression on his face.
"Alright, thanks. Well, I might as well go home and get ready."
After parting ways with the Occult Research Club members, both Issei and Lance started walking down the street. As they were walking, a sudden question popped into Issei's head.
"Lance, I've been wondering about this for a while. But what's exactly the different between Devils and Demons?"
"Well, they're the same beings in the common sense since they use demonic power. Though, the main difference is that Devils carry human appearance along with mainly using their imagination to use their demonic powers. But Demons are the exact opposite, they have a more inhuman appearance, they're more destructive than Devils and the usually heal faster than Devils. They're normally born from the accumulated darkness and demonic powers within the Underworld."
"I see, are you really going along for this mission?"
"Not exactly, Knights are usually assigned with a partnered with another Knight, Exorcist or Magician."
"Well, don't get yourself killed."
"What're you my mother?"
Issei then looked at Lance with a slightly irritated expression on his face, but another question popped into his head.
"Lance where exactly is your mom?"
"What're you talking a…?"
Suddenly an obscured image of a women smiling at him popped into Lance's head, he then placed his hand on his head with a strained expression on his face. Issei looked towards Lance with a slightly worried expression on his face.
"Hey are you alright?"
"Y-Yea, I just need to lie down for awhile. I'll see you later."
Lance started walking forward towards away from Issei with his hand still on his head, Lance then started looking forward with a slightly confused expression.
"What just happened? Why did my head just start hurting after thinking about my mom? Wait…who exactly is my…?"
Lance shaking the thought of his mother, and he continued walking forward with the thought of his mother still weighing down on his mind.
Tomorrow Morning
Issei started walking towards his school with a slightly wondering expression on his face. He then started thinking about what Lance had said to Rias when they had entered the Knights of Chivalry Club.
"Seriously, what that guy thinking? There's no way that…."
"Hawaau!"
Issei later heard a sweet girls sound along with hearing the sound of something falling onto the ground, on he turned his head and saw a Nun falling onto the ground. With a sudden look of urgency and he headed towards the Nun, once he was in front of her he held his hand out.
"…A-Are you okay?"
"Auu. Why do I keep on tripping over…. Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much~."
Issei took her hand and started lifting her up to her feet, as the wind started blowing her veil was blown off her her. Issei's eyes widened and he saw the girl's long blonde hair that sparkled in the sunlight and her forest green eyes. Issei looked towards the girl with his heart starting to beat faster and his face blushing, he was caught gazing at her.
"U-Umm…is something wrong…?"
"Ah. S-Sorry. Umm…."
Issei was looking around with an embarrassed expression on his face, his attention was then caught towards her veil which he picked up and handed towards her. Though he noticed her Japanese slightly different than normal.
"T-Traveling?"
"No, that's not it. I was appointed to the Church in this town…. You must be a resident of this town. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Issei looked at her with a slightly confused expression, knowing that there were only a couple of Churches in town. But he shook off his confusion and looked towards her as she continued on.
"I have been in trouble since I got here. Ummm…I can't speak Japanese that well…I was lost and other people couldn't understand what I was saying…."
Issei then nodded in agreement understanding how difficult it must be for her, he then looked towards her with a slight smile on his face. But he suddenly thought about a Church that was around the area.
"I think I might know where the Church is."
"Y-You do! T-Thank you~! This is all thanks to God!"
The girl smiled towards him with a bright smile on her face with tears flowing from her eyes, Issei then looked towards the girl and blushed slightly. Issei then started leading her towards the direction of the church until….
"Uwaaaaaah!"
Both of them then turned their heads and saw there was a little boy on the ground with his knee scraped, before Issei could respond the girl immediately went towards him with a worried expression on her face. And Issei looked towards her with a confused expression on his face, he looked and saw the girl patting the boy on his head with a smile on her face.
"Are you okay? Boys shouldn't cry with a minor injury like this."
Issei then mad a shocked expression on his face, as he saw a green light appearing from her hands, and flashing on the boy's hand. He then looked forward as he saw the boy's injury beginning to vanish completely from sight.
"Here, your wounds are healed. The pain should be gone now."
The boy's mother then started walking towards him, as the girl started walking back towards Issei with a smile on her face while sticking her tongue out cutely.
"I'm sorry, but I had to."
As both the boy and his mother were walking away, the boy looked back towards her and called out.
"Thank you, Onee-Chan!"
She made a confused expression on her face by what the boy had said, Issei then turned towards her and answered.
"He said, thank you big sis."
She then smiled brightly as Issei translated what the little boy had said and he suddenly remembered what he had just saw her do.
"…That power…."
"Yes, it that power to heal. It's a wonderful power that God gave me."
He then looked towards her and noticed the saddened expression on the girls face, then he choose not to reveal that he had a Sacred Gear to her. And Issei started leading the girl towards the church, which was old and rundown though he could see that that lights were all on. She then looked towards the church with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey, are you sure about this place?"
"Yes, this is the place! I'm so glad!"
"Then I'll be on my way."
"Please wait!"
As Issei was beginning to walk away from the church, but she stopped him with a wondering expression on her face.
"I would like to make you some tea as a gratitude for taking me here…."
"Oh, I'm in a rush so I have to get going."
"…But that's…."
Issei then started walking towards the other direction, but he turned towards the girl with a slight smile on his face.
"My name is Hyoudou Issei. Everyone around me calls me Ise. So you can call me Ise as well. What's your name?"
The girl then smiled towards him and answered.
"My name is Asia Argento! Please call me Asia!"
Issei waved his hand towards Asia and he started walking towards his school at Kuoh academy, but he stopped after sensing a sudden killing intent directed towards him. Issei started looking around with a slight urgent expression on his face, but he shook it off and continued walking towards school.
Occult Research Club
After school inside of the Occult Research Club, Kiba was sitting down talking with Van, Koneko was sitting down eating down eating a snack. While Rias was sitting down reading from a book, Akeno then walked towards her and stated.
"Buchou, there have been some reports of Fallen Angels taking up refuge in a nearby Church. How do you want to…?"
"If they don't attack neither Sona's or my families' then we can't intervene, but if they attack anyone of my…."
KNOCK KNOCK
[Uh, Rias-Senpai.]
"Oh, you can come in Ise."
Issei then walked into the Occult Research Club, he then looked and noticed everyone in the room sitting down.
"So, I'm sure that you already know everyone."
"Yea, I've met everyone here though I've never actually been in the Occult Research Club before."
Issei looked around the room and noticed that there were several magic symbols around the room, as he was looking around the room Akeno leaned towards Rias and started whispering something into her ear. At that moment, Rias sighed slightly and looked towards everyone.
"I'm sorry Ise, but we've just gotten an order for a hunt from the Arch Duke."
At that moment, both Van and Kiba stopped their conversation with each other and Koneko looked up towards Rias. Rias then looked towards Akeno and asked.
"Akeno, can you make it so Ise can transport with us?"
"Yes, Buchou."
"Ise would you mind…?"
"I really don't mind, and I'll assist in anyway I can."
After getting the magic circle ready, everyone including Issei stepped on and was transported outside of an abandoned warehouse. As all of them were walking inside of the warehouse, Koneko makes a disgusted expression while covering her nose.
"…Smell of blood."
Issei looked towards Koneko with a slightly confused expression on his face, Rias then directed his attention towards her.
"Ise, it's a good opportunity to see how Devils fight. You do know about the Evil Pieces used by High-Class Devils and about the Great War?"
"Yes, but I've never actually seen a Devil actually fight before…I mainly fight against Demons."
"Well, Ise…."
Before Rias could finish, they started sensing a cold feeling beginning to weigh down on each of them and they looked forward as they heard a cold voice.
"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?"
Rias then narrowed her eyes slightly and looked forward with a determined expression on her face.
"Stray Devil Viser. We are here to eliminate you."
"Ketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketa…."
As topless women then appeared from the shadows, they then started feeling loud heavy footsteps coming towards them one by one. They then looked and saw that the bottom half of the woman's body of a grotesque creature and wielding a spear in both of her hands. Van looked towards the women and made a disgusted expression.
"I think I just lost my lunch."
"Leaving your master's side and rampaging as you please definitely deserve death. In the name of Duke Gremory, I will gladly eliminate you!"
"You are cunning for a little girrrrrrl! I will rip your body, and color it in red just like your haaaaaaair!"
"Grunts sure do speak in a stylish manner. Yuuto, Van!"
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
Both Kiba and Van took off towards Viser with insane speed, with Issei barely being able to keep up their quick movements. Rias then looked towards Issei.
"Ise, I will continue from before."
"Right."
"As you already know both Kiba and Van are positioned as Knights, with its trait being speed. Those who become a Knight have their speed increased."
Issei then looked forward and noticed that both Kiba's and Van's speeds increased and eventually both of them vanished with a European sword in both of their swords.
"And both of their ultimate weapons are swords."
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Before Issei could tell, both of Viser's arms were immediately sliced off and both of them appeared with Viser's spears being plunged into the ground.
"This is their power. Speed that you can't follow with your eyes, and sword skills of a professional. By combining these two, they become the fastest Knight."
Issei then looked and noticed Koneko walking towards Viser's feet, Rias then looked towards her and continued.
"Next is Koneko. She's…."
"Damn inseeeeeeeeect!"
STOMP!
Before Rias could finish Viser stomped onto Koneko with her enormous foot, with Issei making a shocked and worried expression on her face. But he looked and noticed, Koneko lifting up Viser's foot.
"…a Rook. The trait of a Rook is simple, absolute strength and also very high defense. It's impossible for a Devil with that caliber to stomp on Koneko. It can't crush her."
"…Fly."
Koneko completely lifted up Viser off of the ground, she then jumped up and punched the large monster in her stomach with her being thrown backwards. Issei then made a shocked expression on his face by what he had just saw.
"Lastly, Akeno."
"Yes, Buchou. Ara ara, what should I do?"
Issei looked as Akeno started laughing while walking towards the monster, with Rias continuing her explanation.
"Akeno is a Queen. She's the one who is the strongest after me. She is the unbeatable Vice-president of our club who has all the traits of Pawn, Knight, Bishop, and Rook."
"Guuuuuu…!"
"Ara ara, seems like you still have some energy left in you. Then how about this?"
Akeno puts her hands towards the sky while making a fearless laugh, the sky started sparkling and a lightning bolt came striking down towards the monster shocking it violently. Issei looked at Akeno's display with a surprised expression on his face.
"Ara ara, looks like you still have some energy in you. Looks like you can take more."
Issei looked towards the expression that was one Akeno's face, noticing that she was laughing at the expression on that was on the monster's face.
"Akeno excels at attacks using demonic powers. She could use natural elements like lightning, ice, and fire. And most of all, she is the Ultimate Sadist."
Issei made a slightly terrified expression as he heard Rias calling Akeno the 'Ultimate Sadist'.
"Usually, she's very kind, but once the battle starts, she won't stop until she calms down."
"…Uuu, I'm scared of Akeno-San."
"You don't have to be afraid, Ise. Akeno is very kind to comrades, so it's not a problem. She even said that you were cute. Next time, get spoiled by her. She will definitely hug you kindly."
"Ufufufufufufufu. How much of my lightning can you take? Right, Monster-San? You still can't die yet, okay? The one who finishes you off will be my master. Ohohohohohohoho!"
"She cares me every time she gets like this."
Kiba laughed nervously at what Van had said to him, after calming down Akeno ceased her attack and Rias started walking towards Viser with her hand held out.
"Any last words?"
"Kill me."
Then disappear."
Rias then gathered a gigantic black mass of demonic power from her hand, the demonic power was so large that it completely covered the monster's entire body and vanished away to nothingness. Rias then sighed and looked towards everyone, with a smile on her face.
"It's over. Good work everyone."
Everyone then returned to their relaxed forms and they started walking outside of the warehouse, with Rias looking towards Issei with a curious expression on her face.
"So, Ise have you ever thought about joining my Peerage?"
"Well, the thought crossed my mind several times and I…."
At that moment, a demon then started charging towards Rias from behind with Akeno, Kiba, Van and Koneko preparing to intercept it. But before they could make a move, Issei activated his Boosted Gear held his his hand out towards the demon.
[Boost]
"Dragon Shot!"
Issei increased his power with his Boosted Gear and gathered a red medium sized orb in his hand and fired off a blast towards the demon. Once it made contact it was completely erased from his attack, Rias looked towards him with a slight smile on her face.
"Thanks Ise."
"N-No, problem."
Later on, Issei was inside of his bedroom with a slightly tired expression on his face and looking towards his left arm. His mind started wondering towards towards Asia who he met this morning.
[What's on your mind?]
"I'm just thinking about Asia, I can't shake this feeling that something not right about that Church. But, she doesn't seem like the type to just lie to someone or keep secrets."
[She could be in some type of situation, but there was something about that girl.]
"What would that be?"
[Besides that familiar aura surrounding her…there was something calming about her.]
As Issei was trying to figure out what Ddraig was talking about, he suddenly heard a knocking at his door and he turned towards his door.
"Who is it?"
[It's me.]
"Oh, you can come in dad."
Issei's father then opened the door and walked into his bedroom, Issei sat up from his bed and allowed him to sit down on his bed.
"So what'd you want to talk about dad?"
"Well, I just wanted to say that I know about your little mission with Rias Gremory and her Peerage members."
"How did you?"
"I had some spare time on my hand beside from what I could tell you were having a good time with them, so if you want to become a Devil me and your mother wouldn't care."
"Dad, do you and mum regret quitting the Order?"
Kaito made a wondering expression on his face, he then smirked and started ruffling Issei's head.
"Quitting my job as a Paladin along with my wife and raising such a dedicated and compassionate hard worker who also carry the spirit of the Welsh Dragon. I wouldn't exactly call that a terrible way of spending a life, there are only two things me and your mother look forward to."
"What would that be?"
"Enjoying the rest of my life with Mikoto-Chan and spoiling my adorable grandchildren."
At that moment, Issei spit take at what his father had said along with giving him a cheesy thumbs up.
"D-Dad what're you talking about?!"
"What? Any parents would want their child to have grandchildren so they could adore them. Isn't that right Mikoto-Chan?"
Mikoto then stuck her head through the door with a child like smile on her face, and she stated.
"Yes, that's true that I want to dote on my adorable grandchildren though Ise I want an adorable granddaughter."
"M-MUM!"
Issei looked towards both of his parents as they were endorsing the idea of Issei having children, suddenly the three of them started sensing killing intent coming from outside. Both of them summoned swords from a spacial storage, with Mikoto going in front of Issei and Kaito going towards the window. He then sighed out of relief as he sensed the killing intent suddenly vanishing.
"It's gone, it's been a while since I felt a killing intent that dense."
"Yes, but for it to directed towards our little peaceful home."
"I thought you guys quit."
Both Kaito and Mikoto then both scratched the back of their heads with a sheepish smile on their face, as Issei looked towards them with a deadpanned look.
""Hahaha, it was a reflex.""
Issei smiled at his parents reaction and he started laughing slightly at himself, but in the darkness far away someone was glaring towards Issei through his window with their fist clenched tightly.
