Slayer: So last time I chopped off one of the main characters arms!~ Wait wrong story… Last time we left you all off with a cliff hanger.
Judan: As said you really like to torture your characters don't you?
Rodrick: Please save me from this crazy person!
Slayer: Which one?
Red: I'm pretty sure he means you. Seeing how you're probably planning on doing something to him later.
Kuros: That's definitely true… I remember this one time…
Slayer: Ok enough about that let's get on with things here. So anyway thanks for supporting this story we hope to live up to expectations.
Judan: Word to the wise though. This story will change things from cannon. After all we've all read pretty much the same story over, and over, and over again! Though some of them are good, I suggest checking Galaticus's DXD stuff. Slayer here even made some OC's for him a bit ago.
Slayer: Yep that was fun. Still we're going to twist things up in this story and deal with things differently. For just one example Asia. Seriously they create OP OC's and she still always dies!
Judan: Yep that'll change. Along with a few other things, what those are you'll just have to find out.
Rodrick: Not to mention we've worked around the damn evil piece system. Seriously stratego is a much better war simulator game!
Judan: The pieces will still play a part in things though so don't worry as much. Now Ophis can you do the disclaimer?
Ophis: Sure… Judan Kunai and Slayer Infinium do not own anything except OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. So without further ado…
Everyone: Let's begin the story!

Chapter One: Missing Priorities…
Last time…
Azazel than gave a toothy grin before speaking. "Alright then Welcome to the Grigori Rodrick Booker."
Now… Three years later…
The void king
We come to a scene in which is very familiar to most teenagers, the scene where one doesn't wish to get out of the bed and yet the sun just won't die!
Sun I swear one day I'll destroy you! Now despite my death threat to the sun I knew trying to actually blow it up would be bad for my health. For three reasons… One destroying it would kill everyone here, Two the sun grows plants and I want my food, and three the most important reason… I really don't want Amaterasu to get pissed at me. So begrudgingly I pull the covers off me and try to get out of bed, only to be stopped when I felt a tug on my side. Looking over to my left I look to see Ophis hugging onto my left side with her pale arms around my waist. For the last two years this has become a regular thing. The first time this happened I panicked and woke her up.
In the end I learned not to jolt her awake unless I wanted to be blasted by raw magic. I felt my face that started aching from the memory.
[Well you're going to have to wake your girlfriend up sometime kid.] I could practically see the black and white dragon shaking his head from saying that. [It'll always surprise me waking up to see Ophis in your bed every day like this…]
Hey you're not alone there Kuros… Still she is rather adorable when she's sleeping like this.
'Speaking of which when are you two going to do it? I want to be an aunt you know?!' Both me and Kuros blanched at this. Ever since me and Ophis became a thing Masamune has been trying to get us to do the "deed". The sentient sword really needed to find another hobby besides my love life. As for the aunt thing… Well thanks to Azazel a few years ago, we were able to help her manifest as a real person but only for a couple hours. Since then she's acted more like an older sister to both me and Kuros.
So far my time in this world though has been rather productive. For one two years ago I forced the leaders of the three factions to secretly meet thanks to a little trick me, Red, and Azazel pulled. It wasn't exactly a peace meeting but we made a few more treaties for other things.
I can honestly say that it was the smart choice that I joined the Grigori. I hate Sirzech and find Michael's Holier than thou act a bit much. To be honest I do believe Ajuka Beelzebub was my favorite super devil there. Mostly because me, him, and Azazel decided to get together and work on a rather interesting project I liked to call… The Draconic Piece System! Yes we made it especially for me and my group! Eventually Ajuka plans on using it to replace the Evil piece system but that's a very long ways away. Like two thousand years or so away. Also I was currently using the only working set.
And I say only working because well… Our Guinea pigs were actually guinea pigs… The pieces were designed so that the king or me would be able to use them exactly like the evil pieces. With a few differences… The first and most important is that when you resurrect someone or "reincarnate" them. They stay the same species, but they will have access to your specific type of energy. And since I'm pretty much a dragon they get draconic energy. The second thing is that they get your longevity. Or in other words they'll only live for about as long as you can. Doesn't mean they'll die if you die though.
Back to what I was getting at… The idea was that if they remained alive and the same species (just with an added bonus) then it would be a success! Unfortunately we went through about two hundred of the rodents before we finally made them a success. Poor little guys… Some of them turned inside out, some of them exploded, and some even turned inside out and then exploded. We all had a feeling that we'd end up regretting that one day.
Well back to my peerage. Currently I have a queen, rook, bishop, knight, and a pawn. Speaking of which…
"Wake up you guys it's time for a brand new day of looking for Oppai!~" Groaning I had to fight the urge to kill the current red dragon Emperor. And looking over to Ophis's adorable scowling face I can tell that she's of the same vote as me. Although I'm pretty sure my Queen is taking care of him as we speak.
"ARGH!" Yep there it is. Yeah if he didn't have the boosted gear I would have never of taken the pervert in. Issei Hyoudou was infamous for being a pervert, and was accounted as one of the perverted trio among our classmates. How he became part of my peerage is actually a rather easy story to tell…It was the first day of HighSchool for me and my group. My adopted mother had finally been able to convince me to go. Yep you heard right a couple years ago right after the meeting someone decided that I was just too cute, and went on making me her adopted son. It wasn't so bad but sometimes she could get a bit… Eccentric… Still it was a good thing she forced me to attend for a couple of reasons one… Ophis met her best friend here, and secondly I met Issei.
Though to be honest it was right after I beat him and his friends up for peeking on the girl's kendo team.
Flashback
"See I told you two that this was the best spot!" Hearing some voices as I was exploring the school, I turned around only to have my left eye start twitching when I saw the perverted trio. I was warned about them by the general populance of the school, which were mostly female. You see Kuoh academy was originally an all-girl school until very recently it was turned co-ed. scoffing at them I walked over and clapped my hands loudly while they were giggling perversely. They froze as they turned around to see my angry face.
So smiling at them sadistically I spoke to them in a happy voice. "So what might you three be doing here eh?" Cracking my knuckles I slowly walked towards them. "I sincerely hope you're not doing what I think you're doing." The three paled even further and then tried scrambling over each other to try and get away. In the end it was rather pointless as I beat up the three and tied them together with duct tape. That was when Kuros spoke up to me as I was dragging them to the kendo dojo entrance.
[Hey wait a second there kid, there's something off with the one named Hyoudou.] I looked at the before mentioned boy and found myself in agreement.
Yeah there's some type of familiar energy coming from him. I think it's draconic in nature. You think it's a sacred gear?
[More than likely but to be able to give this off without even awakening it… I have a feeling it is either Ddraig or Albion.] My next thoughts were thoroughly justified.
Let me get this straight you're telling me that one of the biggest perverts on the planet… Has a Longinus class sacred gear capable of killing a god. And! That it just happens to be one of the dividing or boosted gears to boot?! What was the biblical god thinking when he originally created this system?!
All I got was a mental shrug from the secret Longinus. Sighing I decided that I couldn't pass this opportunity up. For my future goals to work I unfortunately needed this guy in my peerage. Because as things goes now… He'll never awaken the lazy red dragon. So I decided to strike a deal with him.
"Hey Issei Hyoudou right?" Being the only one conscious he nodded his head slowly. "Listen there is a few things you desperately need to know. If you follow me back to my home I'll tell you those things, and also let you loose to not fear the kendo team's wrath." That got his attention easily enough and he furiously nodded his head, seeing that he couldn't talk since I duct taped it.
End Flash back
It was soon after that I managed to convince him to join, after offering him a set of draconic pieces if he proved himself enough. I still cringe at the thought of him using some of the most powerful magic items in the world to create a harem. But back to the present! As of right now Ophis was sitting up and yawning cutely, she was wearing a black night gown. As for me I was wearing a white sleep shirt with blue sleep pants. After she stretched a bit she looked at me expectantly, smiling I kissed her forehead and shortly pulled away.
Still smells like lavender…
"Well good morning there sleeping beauty!~ Have a nice rest?" she seemed to mull it over for a bit before answering me.
"Yes I did before baka Issei woke me up." I sweat dropped a bit at that. I silently wished that Issei didn't do any other stupid actions today in front of her. Because if he did well… Let's just say I wouldn't be able to save him from her. I still wasn't strong enough to fight against her full out. But I was slowly getting there, after all being trained by both the apocalyptic and Infinity dragons have their perks.
Deciding to finally get ready for today I gently rubbed her head before getting out of bed. Quickly I went over to my closest and got dressed in my school uniform. It had a black blazer with white trimming, a white long sleeved dress shirt underneath, and black pants. It also used to have a ribbon in which I threw away as soon as I got it. Instead I went and put on a black tie. It was nice that the school was rather lenient about what you did to your uniform.
I look over to Ophis who decided to just cheat as usual and magically make her uniform appear. The girl's uniform was almost like the guys except it also had some kind of shoulder cape, and it had a dark pink skirt with white trimmings. Also the blazer's top was cut off. Someday I would get my hands on the person who designed their uniforms and wring their neck! Seriously the skirts were quite short, and the blazer was also quite tight. Something that my rook and Queen complained about quite a bit.
Ophis however only complained about the cape and lit it on fire. She's had this little pet peeve about capes ever since she watched the Incredibles. I made a note to self to not to let her watch any more shows without me there. However I always failed in that regard as she turned into a mini otaku after watching a few anime's. When I first came to this world I was actually rather surprised that some anime that I watched in mine, also existed here. Take dragon ball for instance…
My was that the worst one, after watching it Ophis begged me quite a bit to try and find the dragon balls. Her wish much to his chargen was to make Red completely disappear. Needless to say even after settling the whole home "invasion" thing, she still didn't like him all that much.
Sighing after hearing more screams from Issei I hold my hand out to Ophis who takes it while we walk down stairs. Letting her hand go as she went to the dining table I went into our fairly large kitchen. Surprisingly even though my queen dressed and acted like a maid she always made me and my knight cook for everybody. And let me tell you cooking for seven people and one of them being Ophis no less… it took quite a bit of skill and a lot more food money. Seriously for one so small Ophis's stomach is a bottomless pits, much like her best friend! And yes I did say pits instead of pit.
I have to always make three lunches for both of them. And don't say anything about Ophis eating so much because she's a dragon! No! Red is one two and he doesn't eat nearly as much as she does! As for Issei it was actually rather easy to convince his parents to let him live here. Really a little hypnosis really did go quite a long way. Hearing some footsteps I turn around to see my knight. He was pale and his hair was deep dark black and he had black eyes, his hair was short and slightly spikey. He was taller than me being two years older, I was five seven and he was five eleven.
"So ready for another day of fan girls Ryu?" Ryu Shibura an expert swordsman, cook, and beloved by many fan girls. I met him a year ago and have been friends ever since. But we still can't find out why so many girls like him. He's been called the dark prince thanks to his hair and indifferent attitude towards everybody. To be honest it really did bother us.
Shaking his head he answered me. "What do you think? I swear those girls will be the death of me! I still have no idea how Kiba deals with all of it." Now if Ryu was the second most popular boy than Yuuto Kiba was the most popular. Shortly followed by Red, who I constantly wonder why he was allowed to attend, and then me. The three of us always thank Kiba for getting most of the girls off our backs. Though it helped that we all had girlfriends already. While mine was Ophis, Red for some reason managed to get my rook, while Ryu had my queen. Me and Ryu always wondered what she saw in the Great Red.
Still I was rather lucky that Ryu also knew how to cook, because without him I'd be a sitting duck to the hungry masses. Not to mention we could both cook with magic. All hail abusing great power! Seriously though over the years I trained myself in quite a few different things, one of them being chakra and senjutsu. I was quite ecstatic to learn that existed in this world. But imagine my shock when I learned that Naruto didn't. And so began my abusing of my knowledge from the show. Took me a while but now I can do what Naruto did for Senjutsu. And believe me I use that trick quite a lot.
With our conversation over the two of us started cooking a nice breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon for everybody. Of course we set the largest portion over for Ophis, who would easily devour one or two in a millisecond. Hearing some noise I looked out of the kitchen towards my rook, who was dragging Red down the stairs. The blond fallen angel known as Mittelt, was dragging the much larger Great red down the stairs. It was actually Azazel who convinced me to take her as my rook, saying something about her friends being a bad influence on her. Me, Ryu, Issei, and Kuros still had no idea how they got together.
But for some reason the girls, even Ophis knew how it happened. I couldn't even convince Masamune to tell me. Hearing some groaning I saw the body of Issei lying on the ground. His brown eyes wide open in pain and his usually long spikey brown hair a mess. Standing over him was my queen Sakuya Izayoi. Currently she was dressed in her maid outfit. Which consisted of a blue short dress with a white apron tied in a large bow at the back, underneath she wore a white short sleeved blouse with the sleeves puffed out. Her silver hair was short with two French braids that went to her chest. On top of her head was a maid hat of some kind.
I never really learned what the thing was called. On her feet are brownish red shoes along with black tights. She also has blue eyes that turn red when she's angry.
I didn't bother telling her to get changed knowing that she could literally change at any moment. Her ability to stop time is quite useful for many things. Looking around Issei I saw a bunch of throwing knifes with red handles. Sakuya's main weapon of choice, blinking once I saw her now dressed in her school uniform. I just sighed as I went back to cooking. I kind of wished my bishop was here also, but she was currently with her mother back in Kyoto.
Still I hope to find a few more members before the end of my HighSchool days. Seeing how if I didn't the entire point of me going would be rather irrelevant… Since my elder dragon brain remembered and obtained more knowledge than any teacher there!
Still getting Issei was nice since he turned out to cost me four pawns. Now an interesting note about the draconic pieces. Each piece is actually twice as strong as their evil piece counterpart. Originally we tried to make them three times stronger but… That turned out to be the main cause as to why the guinea pigs kept exploding. Too much raw power in the pieces… which we learned about fifty rodents in; and as I said I do believe karma will eventually get us back for that. I can feel it already just looking at Issei smoking on the ground with his soul rising from his mouth.
Looking at the clock over to my left I saw that we still had an hour left before school. Sighing I ended up knowing that today was going to be a rather long day.
Line Break for Hire!
Finally leaving the house after eating breakfast and then cooking tons more snacks for Ophis and her friend, we were finally on our way to school. Along the way I made sure everyone had some of the special items I made for all of them.
"So did all of you remember to bring the suppression rings me and Beelzebub made for you?" The suppression rings not only made you feel like an ordinary human to other supernatural beings, but also masked your scent from those who could smell what you were. I added that little extra feature after our visit to Kyoto. A place that was just full of Yokai who could do just that. Everyone but Issei unsurprisingly gave me an affirmative. So looking towards my little four piece pawn I told him off.
"Issei go back and grab it. I don't care if you're late, I'm not about to let the devils at that school know of our presence yet." I then paled and shuddered before continuing. "Especially when my mother and her friend, told me to keep ourselves a secret until she makes the "big" announcement." Looking at me in confusion he paled when Sakuya looked at him while twirling a knife in her hand. That got him moving quite quickly. I faced palmed with my free left hand since Ophis was clinging onto my right. I really do wonder if it was worth it adding the guy in.
[You shouldn't have such thoughts like that. Besides better that you have him then the others] Kuros scoffed in disgust before continuing. [Especially that Gremory!] I mentally agreed with him. Personally I had nothing against most of the house of Gremory.
One of the Seventy two pillars that survived the war, who I didn't like, was Sirzechs Lucifer. I hated him despite so many people thinking he was the greatest guy ever. Feeling Ophis move I looked to see her waving at someone near the school entrance. There stood one of the reasons why I hated him. Looking over I saw the white haired girl Koneko Toujou. She was about Ophis's height and had medium short white hair with long bangs that framed her face. Her eyes were amber in color, and she wore her uniform the same way Ophis did.
The three of us were all first year students. Ophis and Koneko first became friends after we saw her staring at our lunches. Ophis miraculously decided to share some and they've been friends ever since. Even though it's me who suffers for it since they both make me cook for the two of them. I swear what's with small girls eating so much! Hell even Mittelt eats quite a bit for her size.
[You've got me there kid… You got me there…] I mentally agree with the elder dragon in my head, while Masamune was laughing at the two of us. Obviously she understood something we didn't.
Anyway back to my grudge against the super devil. You see before coming to this school I made sure to research all I could about the devils in this area. Though my mother and her friend, made sure to make me learn more about Sona Sitri than Rias Gremory. She told me to be nice to her but not let her get a good read on me; said that she'd figure out the "surprise" before it could happen. I really do wonder about her sometimes. The point is when I ordered in Koneko's file most of it was blacked out.
Which should not have been the case for me! I should have had access to all of the information. Instead all I got was the rundown of it. Something about her older sister going mad with senjutsu and killing her previous king. Koneko was captured shortly after by the high-class devil Xenolith. The younger brother of their old master, she was saved at the last minute by Sirzech. Now that's all well and good but then he gave a severely traumatized kid to his younger sister as a present. Now whenever she isn't around me or Ophis, her face is expressionless and her voice is void of emotion. It reminds me about how Ophis used to be…
Never mind she is still rather stoic in her expressions but she's improving.
I don't even necessarily blame Rias for that, in fact it looked like she did the best she could do be a mother type figure for her. But at the time she was still just a small kid, she had no idea how to raise a child. Plus I could tell at first that she treated her as a pet! Her name after all means small cat. And it wasn't just Koneko… All of her peerage was the same way; she always got lucky and found them when they were the most desperate. All the while her brother was right there next to her.
Realizing these thoughts were messing with my emotions I stopped them and calmed down. Instead I looked over to Koneko and also waved. As we approached she held out her hands to me with an almost begging look. Chuckling I got out her lunches (plus snacks) and handed them to her. After which her smile grew for a few moments and she gave me a quick hug before pulling away.
Looking over at Ophis the two also gave one another a friendly hug before both waving goodbye to us, and running off to eat some of the snacks before school started. I just sighed at the two of them while Sakuya giggled a bit. Mittelt just hung onto reds arm while he laughed. Ryu being my only true supporter patted me on my back while moving towards the actual school building.
Yep today was going to be a long day…
Line Break for Hire!
The Spectator
A figure watched as Koneko smiled warmly and hug the boy with a smile of their own. It was however a bitter sweet smile since the person wished that she would do that around her as well. That didn't mean she wasn't happy for her little rook but she was just a bit jealous.
Still she narrowed her eyes at the one named Rodrick Booker, he was an American transfer student who came here at the beginning of the year. Him along with all of his friends… sure he tried to hide the fact that they knew each other for a couple weeks. But he gave up on that as soon as he learned it was impossible with the way the others interacted. Especially when they all told everyone that he was the one who made their lunches. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice next to her.
"Well Rias you seem quite interested in that little group down there. Though I don't blame you they are an interesting bunch." Looking over Rias saw a slim bespectacled girl with black hair in a short bob cut. Her eyes were also violet in color.
Crossing her arms underneath her large chest she replied. "Why of course I am Sona after all, your sister wanted him to come here; while my older brother wanted him to stay far away from here." That was another reason to be suspicious about him. Sona's older sister seemed to really want him and his friends to go here, while Rias' brother was vehemently against it. When asked why Serafall, Sona's sister just smiled and winked at them… While Rias' brother sweated quite a bit.
The two ended up getting no answer from either of them. Strangely enough even Ajuka Beelzebub thought it would be good for him to go here. Though no matter what they did both of them, couldn't figure out if there's anything special about him!
She originally sent Koneko to find out if there was anything special and she came back empty handed. Well not entirely she came back with a ton of treats she said Rodrick made.
Now her cute little rook was always hanging out with either Rodrick or Ugh… Ophis… when they first heard that name the same as the infinity dragon both paled. However even she turned out to be nothing more than human. Luckily for them since because if it really was her than Koneko, along with the whole school would've been obliterated the moment she got here. Still she couldn't complain too much against his character. He seems to genuinely care about her and treats everyone nicely enough.
Except for the perverted trio, which he beat up on the first day he was here. Eventually they learned to not try and peek on the first years. The same grade Ophis, Koneko, and Mittelt were in. Issei also stopped peeking in on the third years after he was found pinned to a stone wall with red handled throwing knives.
"Still though I like Booker san enough, he's pretty good at chess." Turning to her Rias' eye twitched when she saw her giving her a smug look. "I dear say he's much better than you." And that was the last thing. He and Sona were evenly matched in both grades, and chess. So naturally she would like him more than Rias did. Still when your chess rival, or rival in general says something like that to you things get a bit heated.
"What did you say four eyes!" Okay so maybe a little heated was an understatement. A tick mark formed on Sona's head.
"I said he's better at chess than you Ape!"
If anyone were to look at the railings on the second floor of the school, they'd see Souna Shitori (Sona's alias) and Rias Gremory insulting each other. And the insults were getting worse by the second.
Line Break for Hire!
Issei was currently running back to school after grabbing his suppression ring. All the while cursing his king.
Damn that king of mine! Now I'm going to be late to class! Even though it was actually my fault I guess. You know when I first joined the deal was that I'd get my peerage pieces when I beat Ophis in a fight. At first I thought he was crazy! There was just no way that she could ever hurt me! Or so I thought… As soon as I woke up from having the piece put in me I challenged her to a fight. It was a complete massacre. It was then that he told me with a condescending smirk that Ophis was a dragon god.
He then remembered what happened to him when Sakuya caught him peeking on the third years. He paled at just remembering the pain he felt that day. Note to self learn to moderate perverseness around sadistic queen. Meanwhile a true sadistic queen felt as if her title became endangered.
{Yeah that'd be a good idea there partner. Don't want to get a new host that quickly after all.} Issei's thoughts were interrupted by Ddraig who seemed have just woken up. In honesty he was a bit jealous of Rodrick since he had Kuros. Based on what he said Kuros wasn't nearly as lazy as his dragon was. {I heard that partner!}Issei gulped as he mentally cursed himself for forgetting that Ddraig could hear his thoughts.
{Umm… partner here's a question. Where's the ring?} Issei stopped abruptly as if he hit a wall. {Uh partner?} Just as Ddraig was about to continue Issei yelled out in frustration while holding his head.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Back at the school it was currently third period and Rodrick felt like strangling Issei for some odd reason.
Though I guess that isn't exactly new… Behind him was Ophis who just stared at his back during the class most of the time, and to his right was Koneko who kept glancing at him. Overall both Ophis' and Koneko's grades in this particular class weren't the highest. The only reason why they weren't dead last was because of Rodrick bribing the two with snacks. The bribe was the better they do in school the more special treats they get. It worked well in all the classes where he wasn't in them. He sighed as he drummed his fingers on his desk waiting for the class to be over as lunch was next.
When the bell finally went off he sighed as he picked up his stuff, and motioned to the other two to follow him. They quickly got up gripping the bags that held their lunch, as they beelined for the door and waited patiently for him. He could hear the muffled curses going at him from the guys and giggles from the girls. He slowly messaged the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He just didn't get how he came to being mostly bullied and ignored, to being hated and fawned over.
Not that he minded it was just rather strange. However it was nice that he wasn't the only one with unique eyes and hair. So he figured that was probably a substantial factor.
Eventually they made their way to their usual eating place which happened to be under a large tree. The others didn't usually join them during lunch, seeing how they spent most of their time together anyways. So they figured that they would eat lunch with other friends and people. This left just Rodrick to watch and marvel at how fast the two small girls devoured one bento box. It was for this reason that he always made them three. Still it only took two and a half minutes to finish all of them. Still he knew it would at least tie them over until they can go home and eat some more. The snacks he always brought helped with that as well.
It was at the end of lunch where he felt a familiar energy. Draconic energy to be precise, and his thoughts quickly raged at the idiot that was his pawn.
Issei! Even after getting here late you still forgot the damn ring!
[Just leave it be kid, there's nothing you can do about it now. More than likely every supernatural being has felt his presence. If you want proof just look at Koneko's face.] Doing just that he saw the before mentioned girl face scrunch up in confusion. It was actually rather cute now that he thought of it.
'Ooh! Don't let Ophis catch you thinking that!~' Despite saying that she didn't sound too worried about her catching his thoughts. And to be more accurate it actually sounded like she wanted her to catch them! Rodrick for one wouldn't let that happen since he actually you know, liked living. His thoughts were interrupted as Koneko got up.
"Sorry but I need to go somewhere real quickly." With that she sped off. More than likely to go talk to Rias about this.
"I wouldn't mind." He looked over to Ophis who was now sitting beside him.
"Huh?" Was intelligent reply to her statement.
"I wouldn't mind if it was just Koneko." He still didn't understand what she meant so instead just rolled with it and nodded his head. Looking back to Koneko's retreating form he didn't see the evil smile playing on Ophis's face. Shaking his head he sat down and laid against the tree in the shade. Feeling movement to his side he looked to see Ophis doing the same only leaning into him. Smiling he put his arm around her and brought her closer.
Well I guess I'll just worry and punish Issei later. This is too nice to pass up right now. Closing his eyes he waited for the school bell to signal the end of lunch.
When the last bell for the day finally rang, Rodrick rose up his arms and stretched out his back; all the while sighing in relief. The painfully long school day was finally over. Done stretching out his back he got out his phone, and texted to Issei to tell him to meet him by the school entrance. The two of them were going to have a long conversation. He received an answer a few seconds later, and he smirked when he saw some spelling mistakes. Issei had agreed to meet there, but he knew the pervert was absolutely terrified. He quickly got up to pick up Ophis outside her last class, as well as to say goodbye to Koneko.
A few minutes later the entire group was approaching the school gates. However looking over to them Rodrick had no choice but to slap his face in exasperation. Looking over he saw Issei talking to a beautiful long black haired girl with violet eyes. It seemed as though they were just finishing up their conversation as the girl left waving at Issei. Issei just waved back with a stupid grin on his face. One that was erased rather quickly as he doubled over in pain. Clutching his stomach he started gasping through the pain. Looking at his assailant he saw a very angry Rodrick looking down on him.
Some students passed by and only nodded their heads in understanding at the blow dealt to Issei. Though for a certain red head watching from afar she could only raise an eyebrow at the display. All the while a long black haired ponytailed girl sitting next to her was laughing at the scene. Though they both started laughing when Rodrick started dragging him by the ear off the school's premises.
Line Break for Hire!
The Void King
It's official Issei's brain is the size of a peanut. No! It is even smaller than a peanut! Not only did the idiot forget to get the ring twice, he also decided to just head to school without it. Then to top it all off he accepted a date with a fallen angel. Currently Mittelt was trying to get in touch with Azazel to see what was up with that. After all he should know about Issei since I contacted him about him. I may not be exactly a part of the Grigori anymore thanks to all that's happened. But I still owe them the most.
"Still…" Looking over at the couch that had a broken and beaten Issei on it I couldn't help but smirk. "Maybe just maybe we can salvage this and use it to our advantage. It'd be great to have Azazel oh me another favor."
"Hey!" Looking over to the person who yelled I saw Mittelt pouting a bit. "You shouldn't use Azazel Sama like that you know?!" Ahh still as loyal as ever, even if it had lessened a bit since joining my peerage.
So smiling at the small girl I decided to alleviate her worries. "Don't worry if anything he's the one using me most of the time. Also think of this as an opportunity to get more money to feed you guys. Especially you and Ophis!" Mittelt ended up having the decency to look a bit bashful at that. Sure she doesn't eat as much as Ophis or Koneko but she's a close third. She ended up pouting before stomping off not even giving me a reply. It was when she left that I seemed to remember; that she forgot to tell me that if she got in touch with Azazel. Shrugging I cast a small water spell on Issei to wake him up.
I think I may have used a bit too much water because he ended up waking up and… gasping for air. He looked up only to pale when he saw me smiling evilly at him. I told him to words about what he was going to be this weekend.
"Live. Bait."
Luckily the weekend rolled around without incident and so the plan could be set in motion. During our time preparing and planning Mittelt, had finally managed to get in contact with Azazel. He was actually surprised that any fallen angel besides Mittelt was actually there. We came up with three conclusions from that. One they were renegade, two they were being ordered by one of the other leaders, or three they were being tricked.
The plan was simple use Issei to draw out the fallen angel targeting him. Then swoop in and capture it, there was a little bit more to than that but… That was about the gist of it.
Now getting prepared and grabbing a pair of suppression shackles, everyone got into their battle gear. For Sakuya it was just her maid outfit, Ryu had a black long coat with a hood. The hood was lined with fur and on the back was a Yin-yang symbol made of a white and black dragons holding onto an opposite colored gem. On his feet were black boots and he also wore black pants and a black long sleeved shirt. Pretty much his whole outfit was just black.
Mittelt put on a black and white gothic Lolita dress with frills. As usual when I saw my queen and rook I just sighed at their outfits. I had asked them before to wear something more protective, but instead of getting other clothes they forced me to enchant their outfits instead. Unintentionally I grumbled a bit at remembering that.
As for me… I wore a pitch black stray exorcist coat that didn't have any holy symbols on it. It was also plainer than others, seeing that it had only two hand pockets and no tassels and pins. On the back of it was once again the yin-yang dragon. Except that it also had an Ouroboros around them. The seams of the coat also were colored white and it came with a hood. On my feet were black dress shoes and black socks. I also wore black slacks, and had on a white dress shirt with a black vest. Around my waist was a black leather belt. I also wore one fingerless glove on his right hand.
Pulling up my hood and putting on black metal goggles I picked up two dual silver pistols. The pistols were sleek and had blades that were forged onto the pistol barrel. The pistols were semi-automatic with clips. The handles were black and the sights were also the same color. The guns were unique in the sense that they were made of the strongest metal from my universe. Moon Iron, a metal created and founded by Jackson Grove to help in the war. The metal was conductive with magic so I could add spells to the bullets.
On each pistol handle was engraved with a silver dragon. The length overall was ten inches. However the most devastating feature was something that I was quite proud of. You see I created two types of ammo enchanted forty-five bullets, and silver inch long and ten millimeters in diameter solid silver cylinders. These were designed for a special purpose. By using wind magic along with lightning magic, I can re-create the most dangerous weapon ever created by man.
The rail-gun. Yes it took me hundreds of tries; but I was now able to fire off one of those majestic projectiles. The clips were in special pockets hidden inside my coat; while I kept the regular ones in quick-reload sliders hidden in my sleeves.
At one time I would have only used Masamune but! Things were just too easy that way. Looking over to Issei to see if he was ready; I saw him wearing a tan long coat with a white long sleeved shirt underneath. He also had brown casual pants and black dress shoes.
We'd opted to leave Ophis and Red behind for this trip. Since the two of them would attract a lot of attention. All of us except Issei put on our suppression rings, and went to go follow Issei on his "date". On the way out I grabbed Issei's arm to talk to him.
"Issei I want you to not get attached during this date. It will only make it harder for you to capture her and send her away. Remember she wants to kill you so use that as a reminder." Issei looked to the floor and only nodded his head. Now seeing that he understood I patted him on his back, before speaking in a lighter tone. "Don't worry man despite all your faults. Deep down you are actually a good guy, people would see that more if you toned down on the perversion. If you did that than I'm sure you'll get a real girlfriend someday."
This caused Issei to look at him with a smile. "Thanks I guess I just have to try a bit harder than huh?" I answered him with a simple nod. Now having told him what he needed to know the two of use left to catch up.
The only thing that was not ordinary about the date was, Issei being given a devil summoning pamphlet. The entire thing went pretty smoothly.
The so called date turned out to be quite stereotypical. Eating at a restaurant, buying gifts, watching movies, going for a nice walk through a park, and asking if he would die for her.
Wait what? Looking back I saw the fallen angel transform into… I slap my face repeatedly after seeing who it was. Raynare! What are you doing now you stupid crow?!
[Sheesh kid Azazel was right if Mittelt had stayed with her, who knows what would've happened!] I just sighed in agreement. Looking back at her I raised an eyebrow at what she was wearing. She had the same hair and eyes as Yuma. But… the outfit was completely different than the one the "innocent" girl wore before. Most of it was leather straps barely covering her body, but she also wore long black gloves with spikes.
Looking back at Issei to see his expression I decided to bang my head on the stone wall next to me. The pervert was looking at her while drooling. Shaking my head to clear away the pain I quickly called up Mittelt and Sakuya. We usually used a multi-com link system that I created. It utilized both radio wave technology and magic, to allow us to communicate way out of normal walkie-talkie range.
"R1 and Q1 go in for retrieval PC4 is out of commission." R1 was Mittelt my first rook, Q1 was Sakuya my only queen, and PC4 stood for pawn cost four. That was Issei being an idiot as of right now. I heard groans of annoyance from the both of them but they still gave me an affirmative. Moving quickly Raynare wasn't able to react as my queen, and small rook ambushed her. It was over in less than a second. Sighing again I walked out behind the wall I was behind, and moved over to them.
Shortly after Ryu appeared as well although he was giving Issei a very dry look. Hell I believe everyone was! Turning my attention away from the idiot as Sakuya crept up to him, I looked down at the unconscious form of Raynare.
Unsurprisingly Mittelt was also glaring at her. I couldn't exactly fault her for that since this used to be one of her friends.
Shaking my head I knelt down next to the fallen and propped her up. Scooching my way to her back, I lifted her arms together and put the cuffs on her. Picking her up and putting her over my shoulders I turned to the others.
"Well that about wraps this up. Let's head on back and interrogate her once she wakes up." They all nodded in agreement except Issei who was still in la, la land. My eye twitching I looked over to Sakuya.
"Could you please snap him out of it?" Nodding harshly she looked over at Issei and got behind him. There was a loud smack as she hit him with an iron Tessen. A folding fan made out of iron that could deflect darts and be used as a club. Unfortunately she hit him too hard and knocked him out cold. Looking at his crumpled body with a deadpanned look, I turned my gaze toward my queen who tried making herself look innocent. Closing my eyes and bringing my free hand to my nose I breathed slowly in than out.
I then turned towards Ryu and gestured to Issei's body. Also giving out a sigh he understood what I meant and picked his body up. I then turned towards Mittelt.
"Okay since you know her best you'll be there to help me question her." She nodded hesitantly while looking between Sakuya, and the self-proclaimed Harem king. Shaking my head I headed back home in a burst of speed. Because even though it's late I don't need someone to see us and then call the cops. Although when we arrived home I'd have to destroy the pamphlet Issei got ASP. Because even though the house is impervious to teleportation from the outside, the person who's crest is on the pamphlet could easily track it down.
It seems as though we'll have a lot of work to do in the future.
[That it does kid. But remember don't lose sight of the final goal. We don't have an infinite amount of time after all.]
'Oh he'll be fine!~ He's still just a kid there's still time left.' That's right I am still just a kid. And yet… I was something more and I have a feeling that today was just the start of truly growing up.
I gave myself a subtle smile.
Well then… I guess I'll just have to be the one to control the flow of time.
Omake one: Queen Vs pawn Round one
Issei was giggling perversely along with his two friends. Right now they were peaking in on the third years through a special hole they found. It was actually surprising to see how many of these things, were found around the campus. There was a secret one for the kendo club as well. They found that but quickly decided to not use it again thanks to a beating that came from Rodrick. Still this was the next best thing, if only Issei remembered who was having gym class as well that day.
Sakuya first noticed something was up when she discovered the hole on her first day of school. She would've filled it in since it being there irked her quite a bit. But she wasn't able to get permission from the school. So there it stayed. However now she could faintly hear some giggling from the other side of the foot thick wall. Looking around she saw that only she could hear it. This was probably to her new enhanced senses from the draconic energy now flowing in her.
Approaching the hole she peered through to see the perverted trio laughing to themselves. Anger boiled in her and she quickly excused herself from class that day.
The first indication that the three knew something was wrong was when they felt a chill on their bones. They recognized it as righteous anger coming from a pissed off female.
The three had developed the sense through many, many beatings. So quickly Issei's "friends" came up with an idea. That was to throw Issei to the wolves so to speak. Nodding to one another they quickly hit Issei over the head and ran off. When the brown haired boy finally snapped himself out of his daze he froze. Looking at the ground in front of him was a pair of familiar brown shoes and black tights. Slowly looking up he saw a familiar silver haired woman in a maids outfit. She was smiling sweetly at him.
"Hey Issei you enjoying yourself down there?" Paling even further Issei did the only thing natural in that situation. He got up slowly, turned around, and booked it. However it turned out to be quite futile.
An hour later everyone had come to see Issei pinned to a wall. The strange thing was that he was pinned there by multiple red handled throwing knives. Next to him was a sign that said idiotic pervert next to him. It looked like it was written in the boys own blood as well. People would look back and forth between the beat up Issei and the sign. Ultimately no one helped him down until the end of the day. Even then the one pulling him down did it reluctantly. However around the school one could also see the other two members of the perverted trio also in a beat up state.
However it wasn't nearly as bad as Issei had got it.
Judan: Wow Second chapter and already we're changing things up. Now I bet some of you are going to be wondering what exactly had happened within the last three years. And some of you might be wondering about the Chaos brigade. Don't worry about both; the brigade is still there just missing the power of Ophis. And the last three years will be revealed in time.
Slayer: I can't wait to reveal everything. So many plans so many situations. I'm going to enjoy this…
Rodrick: That sounds exceptionally evil.
Shadow: It is trust me.
Kuros: And here's the mascot of the account wondered when you'd start talking.
Shadow: Well you can't have me not do anything. Even in a completely different story. More than likely I'll make a cameo later.
Judan: Yeah it's obligatory to have you in an omake or something. But for now we'll be getting back to work.
Slayer: Yep I'll need to work on the adventure series again, and then comes up Faunus and Couriers. The plan is for me to do two of mine than one of this.
Kuros: Sorry if that disappoints anyone.
Judan: Well that about wraps things up now here's your ten bucks.
Slayer: Thank you. Now this has been Slayer Infinium and Judan Kunai signing off!
