I don't own High school DxD or Hataraku Maou-sama
I haven't written in over a year so don't expect it to grammar good. Or chapter since some of my ideas got mixed up during that time.
'Thinking'
"Talking" (human forms)
"Deep or dark voice"(also spells and demon forms)

[Ddraig talking]
Last Chapter
"Maou Sadao, Lucifer Urushihara, Akohda Mahl, and Issei Hyoudou, my name is Tsubaki Shinra and I'm here to escort you to the student council" a girl with blue glasses black hair that reached her back, she was 5'5 feet tall "Ashiya-sensei and Adram-sensei are waiting for us there" she informed before she turned around and started to headed to the school expecting to be followed.
"Who does that bitch think she is to order me around?!" Akohda exclaimed but was silenced by Lucifer.
"They finally decided to approach us" Lucifer said following Tsubaki.
"Indeed, they did" answered Maou who also started to follow.
Akohda grumbled more curses under his breath while following the group.
Issei just stood there confused, before shaking himself out of his stupor and running behind them.
Chapter 6: Regrets. Forgive. Learn
The group of demons in disguise could be seen walking through the halls of the school being led by Tsubaki. The majority of the group kept a neutral face, minus Akohda's usual scowl and Issei's nervous one.
Many of the students that passed them wondered what the student council needed the group of new (and popular) teens and the school renowned pervert for.
"Psst, Ashiya…" whispered Issei trying to gain the attention of his friend "what's going on?"
Ashiya didn't say anything and remained quiet, looking straight ahead as if he hadn't heard his companion.
Issei turned to his other companions hoping to get an answer out of them. He only got a growl from Akohda 'Geez is he always moody?'
[I don't know partner, but you must be most weary of him] Issei jumped a little hearing Ddraig's voice.
'Man Ddraig you scared me by how sudden you answered' Issei thought back to his soul-partner 'and what do you mean?'
[He seems the most violent out of whole the group,] Ddraig pointed out [but while not the most powerful, his eyes show restraint bloodlust]
Issei shuddered a bit at that, but got somewhat curious 'how can you tell that from his eyes?'
If Ddraig had a body and was walking he would've stumbled; expected some questions, but not that one [W-well have you ever heard that the eyes are the gates to one's soul?]
'No' Issei's answer was immediate, making Ddraig mentally sweatdrop.
[It is a fact that many use to their advantage] Ddraig tried to explain.
'Yeah well, I only know that he wants to kill everybody that looks his way because of his face-attached scowl' Issei heard Ddraig *sigh*, something he thought was strange since they were talking mentally.
[It is something warriors and politicians gain through experience] Ddraig commented [anyway you should pay more attention they are waiting for you to enter the room]
Issei looked around and noticed he was the only one standing on the hallway while Tsubaki was looking somewhat impatiently at him.
"Oh! Sorry Tsubaki-san I was lost in thought" he apologized while entering the room, once inside he heard the door shut.
Student Council minutes earlier…
Sona Sitri or commonly known by the humans by Shitori, had just received a text from her Queen informing her that Maou's group were on their way.
She showed a small smile before frowning, Tsubaki didn't find anything on Issei case. That was somewhat worrisome, due to the fact that if you gained the attention of the Fallen enough for them to (try) kill you there could be many reasons but the most common would be: a) he somewhat screwed them over in some way or b) a powerful Sacred Gear in Devil territory.
Looking over the files she asked Momo to investigate she was inclined to believe in the second option.
'Issei Hyoudou a First-class renowned pervert across the school.
Most common targets: Kendo Club and Swimming Club.
Parents: Gorou Hyoudou and Himiko Hyoudou, both parents know their son is a pervert, but love him all the same.
Associates: Matsuda and Motohama, both perverts. In some cases more extreme than Hyoudou himself.
Background: Very shut in during his childhood only had one friend. Turned into a pervert around Middle School after meeting Motohama and Matsuda. When the news spread that Kuoh Academy opened it doors to male students, the perverted trio were the literal first three to apply.
Probabilities of having done something to the Fallen Angels: less than 1%
Probabilities of having a Sacred Gear: 50% (seeing as Sacred Gears appear at random)'
She had asked her Bishop for a resumed document and she delivered accordingly. She looked at her present peerage, her pawn Saji, knight Tomoe, and both her Bishops Momo and Reya.
Each one of them had been given orders not to say anything during the interaction between Sona and the group, that was on its way, and another more specific one.
She was broken out of her thoughts when she heard steps coming closer. She put Hyoudou's file in a drawer before making sure everyone looked regal.
Soon enough the door opened and in entered Maou and his ever loyal companions, Lucifer and Akohda, and the two new teachers Ashiya and Adram.
She was about to speak when her eyes landed on the person still at the door, the same person she was just reading about.
Issei Hyoudou.
Her eyes widened a bit, not at his sudden appearance, but at his change in appearance. He looked taller and with more defined muscles 'He wasn't like that last week'.
She didn't have any proof, but she was certain that the five in front of her had something to do with the change.
He finally decided to enter, and she signaled Tsubaki to shut the door, she gave a light chuckle at seeing him jump at the sound of the door closing.
Her smile dropped and put on her 'President' persona "The Student Council and I welcome you five to Kuoh Academy." She looked at each one of them, and only saw neutral faces with the exception of Issei and Akohda, who she was sure growled at her.
"It is part of the initiation of each year to give each student and teacher a proper welcome and a handbook with the school grounds rules" she continued without a beat, ignoring Akohda's glare "but since the five of you transferred during school time, we never got the chance to properly welcome you and give each your handbook" she motioned towards her peerage and each gave a handbook to the five demons.
Adram-sensei, Lucifer and Akohda all looked confused as if they had been expecting something else to happen. Ashiya-sensei still had a stoic face, but Maou…
He was grinning, never once breaking eye contact with her. She felt herself grow a little uneasy.
"Thank you, kaichou" he said while bowing "we'll make sure to read them, but if you'll now excuse us, we need to go to classes or else we might be late"
"Of course Sadao-san, we wouldn't want that" she said as easily as he did.
Soon the others regained their composure and started to leave the room Issei was about to leave when she called out to him.
"Hyoudou-san," he turned around startled, she gave a small smile at him "I'm glad you're okay" he blushed a little before finally turning around and leaving.
Once the door closed she sighed and gave her Queen and accusatory glance "Why didn't you tell me Hyoudou-san was with them?" she asked.
"Ehh… I was as surprised as you when I saw him" she tried to explain "so I guess I kind of forgot" she finished weakly.
Sona just rubbed her temples before sighing "Forget it, what matters is that Rias was wrong and he didn't die"
"Speaking of Rias-senpai, will you tell her?" asked Saji.
"No, I won't" her peerage looked a little surprised by her answer, honestly she would've been surprised herself but she gave it some thought and 'it's what she gets for being careless with the life of one of the students.'
In the halls
"I actually thought they would interrogate us like the Gremory bunch" stated Adram as he walked along the other four, Issei had already left for his classroom.
"I thought the same, seeing how these "devils" act before thinking" agreed Akohda "I really wanted to scare that bunch with my true form hehehe" Akohda silently.
"What do you think about this Maou-sama?" Ashiya asked his lord.
Maou looked at him with a blank stare before smirking.
"She's definitely more cautious and therefore more intelligent than that Gremory girl" Maou laughed lightly "I could even feel some magic measure us up or something like that."
"Yes when I looked at her eyes I saw the eyes of a strategist first and a warrior second" agreed Ashiya before finally entering the room, while Adram waved them as he strode alone to the field.
Classroom 2-B
"ISSSEEEEI!" as soon as he entered the classroom his two best friends tried to tackle him, but stopped dead on their tracks once they took a good look at him "Issei what happened to you?!"
'Could they be any louder?' Issei thought exasperated seeing as now he had all the attention of the rest of the class "I had a sudden growth spurt during the weekend, believe me I was as surprised as you"
His friends along the rest of the class could only blink at his very plain explanation.
"That can't be it, what did you eat? Did you find some kind of drug? Come on tell us" apparently Matsuda wasn't very convinced, hell by the looks of all the other male trying to listen without looking (and failing) too obvious.
*sigh* Issei let out a heavy breath "No, look I'm not lying, suddenly one day I woke up like this" he still tried to make his friends see reason… well not reason, but to not keep pestering him with his change.
"Oh I see how it is" said Motohama with a glare 'oh boy here it comes' Issei just prepared himself mentally "you don't want to give us your secret so you can take all the girls for yourself don't you?!" and now he has an accusatory finger right in front of his face.
He could see some of the girls in the room give him hateful glares and faces full of disgust he cringed to a few that didn't hide their distaste and actually made and 'ew' sound.
'For some reason, I've become more self-conscious since I became a demon' Issei thought.
[Well your world was turned upside down overnight, so you look at things more closely than before] Ddraig told his partner.
'Yeah… its just I never thought I got this much hate, you know' he looked through some of the glares and when his eyes met those of Murayama and Katase he turned to the side. Trying to evade their gazes.
"No, you have it wrong Motohama…" he started "…I swear to you, that I woke up like this, I'm not trying to pull your leg."
This seem to do the trick as his friends finally calmed down a little, until finally calming down completely and starting to talk about some Ero-game he missed during the weekend. He smiled lightly.
Soon enough the teacher arrived and he went on to seat on his seat, the classes passed by as normal only with the ever so often glare from a few boys and girls. He didn't think much about them seeing as he used to get them all the time as a pervert.
He even got to notice his changes more clearly, his senses were heightened to a point where he could hear clearly to some students talking to themselves while solving math problems.
Another was how he could smell his classmates lunch, 'I didn't think white rice and some meat was very popular.' Hell at one point the teacher was about to erase the board when he hadn't stopped writing when suddenly he felt as if everyone moved in slow motion, he didn't complain.
But most of the classes he passed them thinking of the glares from earlier 'Had it always been like this?'
[It could be partner,] Ddraig answered to his unspoken question [Even though I was dormant inside your soul I could still see all your thoughts, and while I won't complain of them being all about oppais, I think that is the reason you never noticed]
'My race changed overnight, now I'm a Demon/Dragon hybrid, maybe… just maybe it's not too late to mend my relation with…' Issei stopped a little to think '…well I guess every single women in the school'
[Shit partner! I knew you were a pervert, but I didn't think THAT much of a pervert] Ddraig said surprised [to gain the hate of every single female from the institution you call 'school']* chuckle *
'S-shut up! It's not my fault I checked every club's changing room for holes or blind spots!' he thought while trying to contain his blush.
[…] he was only met with silence. He couldn't see Ddraig's face but he knew he was giving him the 'Are you serious?' look.
'Okay, it was my fault' he admitted dejectedly 'b-but I plan to change that'
Issei only heard some laughter in his mind, but they didn't sound like a mocking laughter, it sounded like a small proud laugh. He instantly felt better.
Soon the classes were over and those that had club activities had already left.
'It is time to change for the better' Issei thought determined 'and I know where to start'
Right as he was about to leave he heard Motohama call him.
"Issei aren't you coming? We found crack on the roof of the swimming club changing rooms" Motohama informed him "if we organize ourselves correctly we each could get a good look at the girls" he smiled lewdly already with a little trail of blood coming out of his nose, already imagining all the girls in their underwear.
"Sorry, but I guess I'll stop with the peeping" this brought to over-exaggerated gasps from his two friends and very wide eyes from everyone left in the room.
"I-Issei w-what are you saying?" Matsuda asked still shocked about the statement "You can't abandon us, this is our thing"
"Yeah!" Motohama agreed with Matsuda "Are you saying you don't love oppai anymore? Did you stop appreciating the female body? * gasp * don't tell me you now swing THAT way?!"
"NO!" he exclaimed with more emotion than he should've.
"Than what is it?!" Both asked desperately " Don't tell us… you lost our dream to become harem kings?! TRAITOR!"
He was about to shout NO again, when he stopped to think about their shared dream. A goal they set themselves when they entered the school.
"No…" he said weakly, Matsuda and Motohama didn't say anything maybe waiting for him to explain "… its just…how do we become Harem Kings… when all the female populace hates us?" he asked them.
"Look around you guys, look at the girls" he continued, raising his arms and making a motion to look around "we are so engrossed in our perverted ways we don't see the glares, the scowls, the hate…"
"…all of it aimed at US… how can we be loved when the only emotion that comes our way is hate and disgust…tell me?" he asked them. Both stayed silent, not knowing what to say "I realized that when I was assaulted this weekend" this earned another round of gasps.
"I was so sure I was going to die… that I realized how lonely I truly if I had died, not a single girl, hell even guy that weren't you would've shed a tear for me" he could feel his eyes moisten "… and so I'm trying to make amends starting today" he paused for a moment " and I recommend you do the same, I'll see you later"
And with that he took his leave, leaving two astounded perverts with their mindset foundations cracked a little.
He didn't turn back, he had somewhere to be and many to apologize to, even though he knew it would take more than an apology to make things right he didn't care, he would make things right.
Couple of minutes later. Kuoh Academy grounds. Issei POV
I had finally reached his destination and holy shit! was I nervous. I had my fist raised to knock but I couldn't muster the courage 'Come on Issei you can do it!'
[Do you need some help partner?] I could hear Ddraig offer his help in my head.
'How? Would you take control of my body?' I asked in a sarcastic tone.
[Yes] well at least my partner was honest and straightforward.
'Look Ddraig I need to do this myself, I'm the one who dug this hole and I would like to be the one to come out of it' I argued with him.
[If you say so partner] he didn't sound very convinced [By the way someone is about to op-] the door opened and two pairs of eyes met his with surprise before instantly shifting into hate and cautious glare.
'An earlier warning would've been better' I told the ancient dragon.
"Hyoudou" I flinched at how Katase spat my last name "What do you want?" 'if looks could kill I wouldn't have been born'
I tried to look for the words I would say but when I opened my mouth nothing came out. It seemed that with each passing second each girl moved their hands an inch closer to their shinais.
"I-I…" I could see their eyes narrow more. They had their shinais out, it's now or never.
"I'M SORRY!" I didn't mean to come out as a scream, but it did the trick to make them pause, or I hoped since I had bowed when I shouted.
He looked up to see their faces, both were shocked but Murayama was quicker to regain composure.
"Sorry? You say you're sorry" I straightened up and she lower her head and her bangs casted a shadow over her eyes, but I could hear the rage under her words "you think sorry is going to MAGICALLY FIX EVERYTHING?!" she raised her shinai and tried to hit me.
It would've connected any other day, but with my heightened senses I was able to evaded easily, she seemed surprised when she missed, but quickly tried again and again.
"YOU AND YOUR 'FRIENDS' DISRESPECTED OUR INTEGRITY, VIOLATED OUR PRIVATE SPACE AND OUR BODIES WITH YOUR EYES AND THOUGHTS" after each miss I noticed each strike became slower and slower "AND AFTER A FULL YEAR AND A FEW MONTHS YOU CAN COME APOLOGIZE AS IF- AS IF YOU EXPECTED IT TO WORK?!"
"No I-" I never got to finish as I felt a hard hit land on my back, I stumble but I'm able to see Katase looking me the same way as Murayama. This small opening is everything Murayama needs to land a hit on my collarbone.
I try to block the swings sent my way but from two sides it's impossible even with my new reflexes. I need to be faster.
[Boost!]
And suddenly they move slower. I can see where their shinais will land I move and grab both. [I got your back partner]
[Reset!]
Everyone moves at normal speed again. Both are wide-eyed at seeing their weapons in my hands, they try to pull, but I'm stronger.
"Please listen!" I plead "I know a simple sorry won't be enough to repair the damage I've done, but I'll do anything you tell me. Clean the club? I'll do it! You missed a homework? I'll give you mine! Just please give me a chance to prove to you that I'm sorry." By this point I had shut my eyes and was on my knees.
[Partner I know you want to earn forgiveness but this is not the way] Ddraig might be right but I can't turn back down.
I still held their shinais just in case, but I could feel through them how they relaxed their hold on them. I let go.
"One chance…please" I think I'm begging at this point, I can't tell, it's not like I have my head on the ground.
They don't say anything for a minute, I open one eye and can see that they're having troubled thoughts. I feel more eyes on me and I see the rest of the Kendo Club out with shinais in hand. Katase isn't looking at me with hate…but can't say the same for Murayama.
"Lower your head to the ground"
There is no emotion in her order, but I do as she says, I already said I'll do almost anything it's not the time to go back on my word.
"Say you're the worst of humanity, walking trash"
Okay, ouch, I knew it would hurt physically and emotionally but not to this degree.
[Partner, don't let her break you] Ddraig desperately called out to me.
"Well, I'm waiting or are you going back on your word?" her words cut through my being.
[Don't!]
"I-I'm the worst o-of humanity…" I feel her foot on my head pressing down "..I'm walking trash" tears are threatening to come out, but I won't let them.
"Louder"
[Don't do it partner!] 'Sorry Ddraig'
"I'M-" "STOP!" the pressure in my head disappears and I look up and see Katase shoving Murayama off me. Murayama actually looks betrayed. "Stop Murayama, this isn't you"
"Why are you stopping me Katase? Did you forget what he has done?!" Murayama said while looking at me with rage, no longer hate.
"No, of course not, I'll never forget" Katase said "but what you're doing is break a person!" she shouted at her best friend.
"He deserves it!" she argues back.
"Maybe he does!" Katase says glancing at me and even though I could still see some hate there was doubt 'Maybe this is what Ddraig meant about reading people through their eyes?' "but doing it would make you worse than him"
"Everything you said was correct, he violated our privacy, our integrity" she conceded "but you're are forcing him to do something terrible, you're even scaring us please look at around you"
She wasn't lying, all of the girls were looking rather shocked, as if this wasn't the Murayama they knew, which I could attest to, it wasn't.
"This is cruel Murayama even for you" she finished looking at her best friend hoping she would see reason 'At this point I'm hoping for the same thing'
Murayama looked at the girls around us, before finally looking back at me. Her face twisted into a snarl before taking a long breath and finally letting it out. "Sorry if I took it to far guys" she addressed the club members.
Katase had a huge smile on her face before turning to face me and replacing it with a frown "Hyoudou"
I stood up from the ground, straightened and locked eyes with her "Y-yes?" 'Man, I'm still nervous'
"I heard you mention you would do a lot of things to try and earn our forgiveness, right?" I nodded slightly "the thing is your actions aren't easy to forget and less of all forgive."
I dropped my head defeated 'I knew they would never give a chance, honestly why did I even bo-'
"However" my head jerked faster than I would've liked "seeing how far you were willing to go just a moment ago, I'm willing to give you a chance" "Katase-senpai don't do it" "You can't trust him" "Don't forget everything he did to us" I could hear many of the girls trying to talk Katase out of the idea, even Murayama seemed startled that she would give me a chance.
"T-Thank you" I managed to say, actually feeling happy that I got a chance and somewhere to start.
"Don't thank me" she said abruptly "I'm willing to be the better person and give just one chance to prove you're sorry… although I don't think on abusing that willingness of yours" I stay silent waiting for her to finish.
"You said you were willing to clean the dojo, right?" I nod hesitantly "Great! Every morning and after we finish training, could you clean it?"
"Yes of course!" I think I said too eagerly as she narrows her eyes making me look at the ground.
"Great!" she said cheerfully "but don't forget I'm- WE are trusting you our dojo, okay?" 'how does she go from threatening, to cheerful to threatening back again' "This is a test to see if you're serious, if you skip at least one day you'll have lost your chance, okay?"
I quickly agree, before turning to leave. But as I go I see many give me the stink eye, while others are not sure how to feel, I can tell because whenever I look at their eys they evade my gaze clearly not knowing how to feel.
'Well at least is a start' I smile to myself.
[Partner] I heard Ddraig growl [you're the new Red Dragon Emperor, you're not supposed to bow to anyone! Not even when asking forgiveness!] he sounded pissed [Thank the Great Red that there was supernatural being around to see that embarrassing moment] and now he sounded relieved.
'Okay, Ddraig next time I'll have that in mind' I assured him 'its just that they were the primary club I would peep on and I think they're the ones I should be apologizing the most to'
*sigh*[Just don't bow to anyone anymore] he said.
'What about Maou-san?' I asked seeing as I was now an underling under him.
[He showcases great power and respect… I'll allow it] I smiled at his honesty.
'Well now I have to go find him' and seeing it's almost dawn I better hurry' I start sprinting towards the school gates, to try and find Maou.
School Gates. Same time 3rd POV
"Where is the fucking bastard?! We've been waiting for him for almost two hours!" Akohda raged going back and forth in the entrance , his eyes occasionally glowing red.
Maou and Lucifer stood each in one side of the entrance. Maou had his eyes closed as if in deep thought while Lucifer was trying to not loose his cool at Akohda's constant rambling. It was only them since Adram and Ashiya had to saty after school since they were teachers.
"Maybe the fucker already left the school premises and we're here wasting our time" Akohda went on and on until Lucifer finally had enough.
"In the name of 'the-fuck-who-couldn't-give-two-shits-about-his-creations' shut up Akohda" Lucifer snapped at his comrade "we can sense him with our magic, he is still on school grounds"
Maou cracked one eye open and whispered "…the name of the-fuck-who…OH! I get it!" he chuckled at hearing the ex-angel badmouth God.
"Yeah I know we can sense him, but it still pisses me off that we have to wait for him" Akohda argued back.
"Well there is nothing we can do about that, since we're going to help him control the basics of magic, before we can start training him" Maou explained making Akohda stop in his possible 200th lap on the gates "besides you can't deny you're not curious about this 'Dragomonioum' magic"
"Besides the fact that he shares body with a dragon, so his magic reserves must be very large" said Lucifer grinning a little.
"tsk" Akohda couldn't deny that he wasn't curious about that too "but still what could be so damn important to waste two hours after classes ended?!" he just can't be a second without being angry at something.
"Man, you're mood is something we'll have to deal with 'til the end of times, isn't it?" the question was obviously rhetorical, but Akohda didn't appear to notice.
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess" Akohda drew the 'u' very long "if my mood is too much for you, maybe you should leave" Maou could see that Akohda was trying to lure Lucifer into fighting, he just hoped he wouldn't fall for-
"You want to go old bastard?!" 'Why do I even hope?' Black auras started to surround both of the generals, but before they could launch any attack or move an inch Maou spoke.
"Shut up both of you Issei is approaching" Lucifer instantly lowered his magic and his aura disappeared whereas Akohda grumbled some not-so-nice words and begrudgingly dissipated his aura.
The Demon king proved to have been telling the truth as only seconds after their stopped their quarrel Issei stepped out of the gates.
"Hey guys, what are you still doing here?" He looked somewhat surprised to see them still at school.
"We were…" "Waiting for your lazy ass! What were you doing running laps around the damn school?!" Maou was rudely interrupted because of course Akohda.
"Yes and also because we're going to help you every afternoon to get used to your new form and powers" Lucifer explained for Maou "Where were you anyway?"
They saw Issei hesitate a little "I had to take care of some… business…?"
"Anyway Issei" Maou addressed opening a portal to some woods "after you" he motioned for him to pass through the portal"
Issei gulped before stepping forward and entering followed by Akohda, Lucifer and finally Maou.
Random woods in the world
"As Issei stepped through the portal he instantly felt the change in the air and air. It was colder, he could see his breath but it seemed to be earlier as the sun appeared to be right above him instead of the horizon as he had last seen it.
Another thing he noticed was the mountains in the distance, they were covered in what he could only assume was a very thick snow. He checked his phone and noticed he didn't have any signal.
He heard the rest come through the portal.
"Where are we?" he asked still amazed by the scenery in front of him.
"I don't really know, I think a forest in Russia or Tibet, don't really know the countries or regions of the Earth well yet" Maou answered while poking his nose.
"So…why so cliché like a forest?" Issei asked sweatdropping a little.
"W-what?" it was Maou turn to appear confuse, the same could be said of Lucifer, except for Akohda who didn't seem interested in the conversation.
"I mean I'm not complaining, its just that, when I think about in stories when a character wants to grow stronger he most of the time goes to nature to train, more commonly in forests" Issei explained as best as he could trying not to anger the Demon King "so yeah cliché"
Maou just stared dumbfounded at Issei's explanation and you could see his brow twitching, before composing himself "Forget it, we're here to train not talk about clichés"
Instantly Issei paid more attention to what Maou was saying.
"First of all, can you feel your magic?" the question was very simple, but the answer not so much. Issei closed his eyes concentrating; he tried to feel something but couldn't.
"Mmm…how do I feel my magic?" he asked meekly.
* sigh* 'I knew this would happen' "The way they explained it to me was very unorthodox but it helped so I'm going to try explain it the same way, ok?" when he nodded he continued and hoped Issei understood "okay, your soul is your magic power vessel, okay? It is a part of you, like your brain and your stomach…so in the same way you would try to feel your stomach, try it but across your hold body"
'Okaaaaay, didn't expect that, but who am I to complain' he closed his eyes once again and concentrated on his stomach 'is like trying to feel my stomach, so can I expand from there?' he didn't know but it was worth a shot.
Eventually he tried to feel his whole body with the stomach as its anchor. A minute passed. Then five. Ten came by and he was about to give up when he felt it. Just a little but it was there.
He felt a like breeze under his skin. He tried to find that feeling again and once he felt it, he didn't let that feeling go. He could also feel it cover his entire reason although like clothing more than anything.
"I think I got it!" he cheered cherishing the feeling, suddenly he stopped and turned to Maou "…although I feel like two sources of magic"
Maou gave a nod and turned to Lucifer signaling him to take over.
"That would be due to you being currently transformed" Lucifer explained ignoring Issei's confused look "when you transform you feel as if a blanket was around you, and you feel contained" he would've continued but Maou raised his hand making him stop.
"We demons, can use magic in any form, but it is most powerful when we are in our original form" Maou explained "that is why while transformation magic is good for infiltration, like our human forms, we don't have access to our full power"
"Wait, but I was a human, so isn't this my normal form?" Issei asked and before Maou could answer a green gem appeared on the back of his hand.
[Actually partner, when you turned into a demon and fused our souls, our race changed and so our 'original' form] Ddraig spoke through Issei.
"You would be correct Ddraig" Lucifer conceded "since you're no longer human, the appearance you are currently wearing is your disguise"
"Really? But I feel very comfortable like this" Issei pointed out while flexing his fists.
"That is due to you technically having lived your whole life as a human" Akohda said from the back, leaning on a tree "you're so comfortable in that form that you can change into it without any trouble at all"
"And how do I turn into my demon form?" he asked the demons.
"Well our case is like yours with your human form, since we are used to our forms we only think about it…" great gust of wind expanded from Maou, Lucifer and Akohda making Issei cover his eyes, when he opened them Satan, Malacoda and…well Lucifer were in front of him "…and we are back to normal" even though Issei was still new to this he could feel the raw power they emitted.
"Thoughts are a good way to conduct your magic for simple spells, but in order to manifest it you need to have a very clear visual" Akohda said while creating a sword out of thin air "for spells it is a different case as you use words to direct your magic…but that is a more advanced subject"
"Since you've only been in your demon form for a very short amount of time you might have some trouble turning" Lucifer said approaching him, who now had to look up to him "you're literally a new case even for us"
That made everyone go into deep thought trying to find a way for Issei to turn.
[I might know a way] Ddraig suddenly spoke making everyone look at the gem.
"Please tell us Ddraig" Satan said looking at the gem.
[Whenever a new Boosted Gear user discovered me, he would have trouble summoning my gauntlet] he started [but I would always tell them to think of the strongest thing they could while using their magic]
The three veterans of war understood what he meant, only the thought of something powerful could bring Issei to his most powerful form.
"Yeah okay doesn't sound too hard" Issei said once again closing his eyes. Grabbing into the feeling of the magical 'blanket across his body, he tried to think about the most powerful thing.
Maybe a week ago he would've thought of some big oppais like Rias' or Akeno's, but right now the most powerful thing he could think of was… Katase's courage to give him a chance. To him.
He was so engrossed in the memory of Katase giving him a chance that he didn't feel his body grow bigger and his shirt rip open. Red scales started to cover his arms, legs and back, and seemed to stop around his face and frontal torso. His uniform exploded into shreds as two wings grew out of his back. The sound and feeling of his shirt disappearing brought him out of his thoughts.
He stood tall almost 6'2 ft, he could feel the same breeze of his magic, but stronger this time as he would feel running water but inside of him. He looked to his back and found once again the wings of a dragon. Overall he was very excited.
"So now what?" he asked.
Stan just smirked.
"Now we begin"
Student Council. Same Time 3rd POV
The students council's president let out a sigh of relief along with all its other members. They had just finished balancing the budget for the clubs activities.
They usually don't take very long, but with the incident between the Baseball Club and the new students, leaving in its wake a incapacitated team other sport related club demanded that their budget be divided among them.
With many giving many excuses as to why they should get the bigger cut, upcoming tournaments, championships, they had more trophies etc. In the end the council voted for looking through each Club record of wins and losses in tournaments and find the rate in which they won.
After going through every clubs record they had to fill in the necessary documents to change the budget. It had been a very tedious work 'Everything is worth it by the feeling of accomplishment once you finish'
Now that she was free of anything school related, she could now look at the magic papers she had scattered when Maou's group entered.
"Momo-san, Tomoe-san, Saji-san the papers" she called out to her pieces for the folder with the papers each had been assigned to hide.
The magic used in each paper was a sensory type, and it would show in the paper magic affinity alongside, race, and in the case of a fake name it would appear the real one. Also a danger class from Low-class to Maou-class to know how powerful they were.
She looked at the first file:
Adramelech
Race: Demon
Magic Affinity: None
Power: Maou-class Devil
'So Adram-sensei's real name its just his fake name and last name combined…that's somewhat dumb' Sona sweatdropped at that but the she realized something very important ''Demon'?! Not Devil?! What is going on?! Demons haven't been seen for millenias' her thoughts started to become erratic, but she still continued looking at the papers.
Malacoda
Race: Demon
Magic Affinity: Death, Necromancy
Power: Maou-Class Devil
Sona grew more nervous this time not only because of seeing he was another demon, but also the magic and the power class. She didn't even care that you could change some letters from the name reordered it and you would have it.
Lucifer
Race: Fallen Angel
Magic Affinity: Holy, Unholy
Power: Maou-Class Devil
'Are they all Maou-class?!' cold sweat started to come out in the back of her neck.
Alsiel
Race: Demon
Magic Affinity: Telekinesis
Power: Maou-Class Devil
She started to tremble a little, this time her entire peerage took notice of this and became worried. What could those documents say to put her like this?
Sona finally looked at the final paper, and her heart stopped beating for a moment when she saw it. She was truly terrified now. She jumped out of her chair and fell on the ground. Tsubaki was the first one by her side, the others soon joined.
They all looked very worried, their king had just jumped out of her seat with a look as if she had seen the Creator appear in front of her.
Tsubaki looked at the paper that was turned upside down and grabbed it. She now understood why her King reacted the way she did.
Satan Jacob
Race: Demon
Magic Affinity: ?
Power: ?
AAAAAAANNNND CUUUUUT
Not gonna lie, I wrote this in the span of 9 hours in total son if it isn't good well I just don't care that much anymore, but I liked so…yeah.
