Chapter 3: Baldy, Little Sister, and Crows.

Lunch time at school is the worst time. Ever.

Everyone is Looking at Issei. No, not just looking, staring, and gossiping. They don't even bother being quiet. Seriously, the point of gossip is not being heard directly by the subject, It is a common sense.

Then the baldy Matsuda and the glasses guy comes and sits on his table, where he's supposed to be eating with Asuka. Now Asuka redirects her course to her friends, thanks to the baldy.

This day just getting worse and worse.

fucking baldy

"Issei is a pervert?" that one stings. He doesn't want to be compared to these two.

"So Issei, right? What is your opinion about this school?" the glasses guy starts the conversation. The cafeteria noise lessened a bit, it seems they are paying attention. Great.

"It is noisy and the food sucks" Issei answered, right after taking his first bite, frowning at the taste.

"No no no, we don't mean that" Matsuda starts blabbering "We mean the girls Issei, the girls! This school's male to female ratio is 2:8, in another word for one guy, four girls, you get the idea?"

Issei's confused face answers everything.

"Are you, by any chance, gay?" the glasses guy asked hesitantly.

"No"

"Then you should understand! We are in heaven! Yet we don't even have a girlfriend, everyone treating us like pariah"

"My condolences"

"Don't be Issei-kun" That kun is definitely NOT welcome. "Seeing the girls panties every day is worth it"

Several girls start shouting "Hentai," but he duo seems not a bit perturbed by the comments. Remarkable personalities, to say at least.

"And you Issei-kun, can be my salvation" Matsuda pointed to Issei. Issei had the idea to snap the finger right there, if this is not his first day. However, Issei is more interested in where this conversation is going.

"Salvation, how?"

"Let us reintroduce ourselves Issei-kun, we are the Perverted Duo! The most perverted students on this school!"

'Holy shit he is proud of it!' Issei's eyes widened in AWE at the creatures before him as he stopped chewing altogether.

"I am called the perverted glasses. I have an ability to measure girl's sizes just by looking, it earns me the title three sizes scouter!"

'How can this guy be human?'

"I am Preverted Baldy. A member of the photo club, my other title is Sexual harassment Paparazi"

This duo starts posing like super sentai and Issei is paralyzed from the sheer magical realism-like atmosphere that washes over him at the sight of perverted duo. They are insane, that is the only answer Issei can think of.

"And Issei-kun, Iam a lolicon"

"lolicon?"

"Interest in girls that looks underage" the glasses guy explained dismissively.

"Oh..." Issei digested it for a second, "Oh!"

"Yes Issei-kun, You understand at last! I, Matsuda, is interested in your cousin, Asuka, and I ask you for your blessing to court her!"

"Die Baldy!" Asuka's voice can be heard from a distance, Issei can even hear her footstep. But Issei's attention isn't on her.

He is seeing red.

"Matsuda-san, Glasses-san"

"Motohama" Motohama corrected him.

"Motohama-san" Issei, in his infinite patience, corrected himself.

"I suggest both of you disappear from my sight, in three seconds"

'Three'

"Wait Issei-kun, you aren't being sensible" The irony is lost to Issei.

'Two'

"Just because you're a delinquent, doesn't mean you can order us around" Matsuda hit the table.

'One'

Issei lost his patience, and in an instant, the table broke as Issei's leg went through it easily. Matsuda doesn't even have time to react.

One inch more, and Matsuda would be reduced to a vegetative state by the force of Issei's kick.

But it didn't happen. For better or worse.

A blue-haired girl, with a face that Issei can't decide whether to call her beautiful or handsome, stopped his kick with her hand. The earth-like smell coming strongly from her.

Strange, Issei didn't feel her nearby a minute ago.

Behind her stands a black-haired girl with bob-style cut and glasses, only looking at the incident. She is the first to speak.

"Issei Hyoudou-san, excessive violence is prohibited in this school, even for guys like them"

"And who are you?" Issei can't help but wrinkle her nose, the smell is greater in the black-haired girl.

"I apologize, I haven't introduced myself, " she motioned the blue haired girl to let go of Issei's foot.

"My name is Souna Shitori, the president of student council, and this is Tsubasa Yura, my subordinate" Tsubasa waved her hand.

"I see, then I apologize for the trouble, but these two... Filthy creatures are really pushing their luck"

"Hey!" the two filthy creatures objected at that, but being silenced by Souna's glare.

"I understand why you did it, Issei , but a rule is a rule"

'Except for the one who made them' Issei bit back the snark remark.

"Since you're a new student and this isn't entirely your fault, we shall let this one go. But make no mistake Issei-san" Souna's face gets uncomfortably closer to Issei "Any more violation will be treated with extreme prejudice"

"I keep that in mind, Souna-san" Issei meet the intensity of Souna's eyes with his own, then he back off, going back to the classroom, leaving Souna to deal with the Perverted Duo.

After School

Asuka is a first year with short hair, a little underdeveloped figure, and slightly shorter than the average student. Underdeveloped figure, in a school full of hotties, go figure.

She loves her brother, although he can be too protective, she appreciates that. Sometimes Issei-ni spoil her, in his own ways. When she wants something she sees on TV, her brother will move heaven and earth, finding a way to make one for her. He always cooks everything she likes and teach her at home, which prevent her grades from falling to oblivion.

She doesn't know her brother's power, which at this rate is a divine intervention. A big one.

She hates the perverted duo with passion, and as a member of Kendo club, there is nothing better for her than to beat the shit out of them. She almost cheered when Issei-ni almost kick Matsuda's head.

A bit hypocrite, since she is a closet-pervert.

Today, a student from another school, Yuuma Amano, asked her to show her around the area, saying she comes from Kyoto. A new friend! Asuka likes her already. From their brief talks, Asuka noted that she has many similar interests.

But her overprotective brother drove the girl away, but not before the girl asking him out. Yes, asking him out.

That part made her nose bleed a little. Her handsome brother, and his new cute girlfrie...

"She smells strange, " said Issei, almost not paying attention to her, as he watched the girl disappear into the crowd. That also puzzled her. Why is her brother always talking about smell? When she was in junior high, Issei wrinkled his nose and said that she smells. Then he said the school smells. Then this girl.

Her brother is strange.

"Oi Asuka, Oi"

The distracted Asuka quickly snaps out of her reminiscence when Issei shakes her, his face is the epitome of seriousness.

"Ye-yeah Issei-ni, what is it" what kind of a question for Issei to use his serious face to her?

"Why is everyone thinks I killed a person?" Asuka, almost literally, face faulted.

"Seriously? You don't remember? The gang near the store?"

"That doesn't count"

"It does"

"It doesn't"

"It does"

"They were only half dead!"

"They were in coma for ten days!"

Unknown to Issei, a redhead Student and her raven-haired subordinate are looking at them bickering, already brewing up plans for the hyoudous.

On the other side. Souna's subordinate Tsubasa sees Issei before seeing her palm. It is bruised from the kick before.

"He isn't a normal human."

To tell the truth, Issei didn't want to do this 'date', but he had a feeling if he refused, the admittedly beautiful girl will target his sister.

His instinct tells him the girl is up to no good.

His instinct never failed him.

Yuuma Amano. She smells sweet, with traces of smell like she's been in the sun for a while. Unlike the school's smell, which is Earthy, Her smell Is so sweet it made him want to puke. She also didn't look like she's been tanning. Definitely suspicious.

And the girl is late. Really, Really Late. What the actual fuck.

For the girl who supposedly attracted on first sight, this is unacceptable.

But he'll play along, just to make sure.

"Sorry Issei-kun, did you wait long?" said Yuuma in an angelic voice, blushing a little. She wore a black dress, with purple jacket on top. Issei couldn't help but think.

'Is this girl just come here from a funeral?' not that he really care about it.

"Long enough, I'm starving" said Issei as his stomach let out a horrifying sound, stunning them for a second

"Asuka told me about a good steak joint not far from here, wanna go there?" said Yuuma after the awkward moment

Issei only nodded and. let his hand being held by Yuuma.

'Yuuma Amano' grinned inside.

'play cool all you want Issei Hyoudou, I know you are a hikikomori, you can't deny my charm'

The date is surprisingly fun. Yuuma Amano showed Issei areas that even Issei didn't know. Yuuma said she researched the night before. Though it causes them to be lost several times, It didn't lessen the joys Issei felt.

Time, as usual, flows fast in good time. Sun is already setting, Issei and Yuma hold an ice cream made of long bean.

"How can a vegetable be transformed into this... This delicious thing, God, " said Issei with a little smile as he lap up the delicacy.

"Issei-kun, there is many unexpected things in this world, and I try my best to enjoy all of them" Yuuma told him sagely and he nodded in agreement.

"So, anywhere else you want to go to, Yuuma-san?" Issei asked her.

"Well, there is a park around here, I want to end our date there"

"Sunset in the park, I think you care too much about your name, Yuuma-san" Issei joked, missing Yuuma's slight flinch.

They reach the park. There is no people there. Issei and Yuuma watched the sunset near a fountain in silence.

"I love it" Yuuma broke the silence

"Sorry?"

"I always love sunset. Since the first time I saw it. I've fallen head over heels to it"

"I hate it, " said Issei suddenly, somberly, and Yuuma raised an eyebrow.

"Sunset means night will come. I hate the night. Night leaves me alone. No one to touch, to feel. I hate sunset"

"But tomorrow always come, isn't it?" Yuuma half-expected Issei to spouting crap about the inevitability of death. It didn't prepare her for Issei's answers.

"Exactly, " said Issei, his voice laced with sadness. More silence wash over them, this time a bad one.

"Issei-kun, there is one last thing I want to do, will you grant me my request?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Will you die for me?"

Author's Note

If you say Issei is weak, despite his power is not explored yet, then I assume you mean physical-related power. His power is much more complicated than that. It will be explained later, be patient. Also, he hasn't been 'awakened' as a dragon, and dragons consider him a 'hatchling'.

University life is a bitch, but fear not, children, updates are on the way.

Just realized I use well a little bit too much, sorry. I'm trying to correct some mistakes.
