Helsing HxD

Chapter 1

21N: Sup everyone, it's your favorite author RedKnight21 here with a brand-new story!

I was talking with one of my Fanfiction allies TheWhiteTitan and I came up with the idea for a new Highschool DxD story.

In nearly every fanfiction and even in the anime of Highschool DxD, it is stressed that normal humans have no chance against the supernatural unless they have Sacred Gear or Magic, and even then, unless they have a powerful Sacred Gear, they would only be a threat to low-level Devils, and it's also stressed that Magic user humans can only match to a mid-level Devil on average.

So, in the world of Highschool DxD humans are only seen as being caught in the crossfire unless they have Sacred Gear, Magic, or an exorcist which are only effective against Devils.

My story aims to change that!

In this story, a human with no Sacred Gear and no magic will rise and show the supernatural potential humans have. And what is the one thing humans have made before the Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels?

Technology.

Technology is underused in the show for a good reason since most magic and powers can surpass technology easily, but in this story, I aim to change that!

Meet Nathan Helwing descendant of the Hero Abraham Van Helsing.

Some might know the role Abraham Van Helsing played in the DxD world, and I plan to change things a bit. Any questions will be answered as the story goes on.

To make this easier my OC will be like a combination of Tony Stark and Rick Sanchez where he creates armor and gadgets to fight against the supernatural. My OC will not do magic except Runes, other than Runes my OC will use no magic.

So, without further ado, let the story begin!

No One's P.O.V

Name: Nathan Helwing

Gender: Male

Grade: 2ed Year

Age: 16

Height: 5'5"

Guardian: Johnathan Alex Shepard

History: Orphaned at a young age in New York City, America, before being adopted. Won multiple science awards for extraordinary inventions and ideas. Has kept a solid 4.0 GPA since middle school and speaks multiple languages such as English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. After graduating from middle school was then homeschooled by private teachers.

Personality: A hard worker and known to be social. Has minor problems with authority if not given a reasonable explanation. Is known to be somewhat fowl mouth in certain situations.

Souna Shitori, AKA, Sona Sitri, hummed softly as she continued to read the student profile before her. One of many on her desk.

Sona was the Student Council President of Kouh Academy, a school once known to be a Girls' Only School, that is until a few years ago when it allowed all genders now. Unlike most Student Council Presidents from other schools, Sona had a lot more power and responsibility, such as going over transfer papers and seeing who would cut.

The image of Nathan Helwing was a young man with black hair pulled back neatly, sun-kissed skin, and dark green eyes. The young man had a cocky smile on his face, yet his eyes were sharper than any other student's picture.

"Hard at work as always."

Sona blinked as she looked up to see her childhood friend Rias Gremory. Rias was a beautiful young woman, known to be the most popular girl in all of Kouh Academy, admired by both the men and women of the school. Rias had crimson red hair that reached her lower back, white skin, a voluptuous body that made both men and women drool over, and deep blue eyes.

While Rias was beautiful, Sona knew she was just as attractive.

Sona's figure was slim, and petite, with her black hair, cut into a neat bob cut, white skin, and violet eyes. While Rias's face was more cheerful Sona's was cool and calm.

"These are some last-minute transfer papers," Sona said simply as she went back to look at the paper before her. "As always we have people from all over the world trying to get in."

"Well, we are well known for being one of the best schools in Japan," Rias said with a smile as she put her arms under her large breasts and made them bounce.

"I don't think the boys looking to get in are here to study." Sona deadpanned to the smirking redhead. "But this one... seems interesting," Sona said slowly as she put the paper down.

Rias perked up at that and grabbed the paper off Sona's desk before looking it over.

"Johnathan Shepard is his guardian... where have I heard that name before?" Rias muttered as he looked at the photo. "He's pretty cute."

"Johnathan Shepard is the owner and CEO of Alliance Industries," Sona said while pushing her glasses up. Rias looked up from the paper with a surprised look. "Yes, that Alliance Industries, the one that used to strictly make planes before moving into experimental technology that is said to revolutionize the world someday about a decade ago. They also have their fingers in everything from real-estate, music, food, TV, movies, games, and a dozen other areas. It's a Mega Corporation. This-" Sona tapped on the photo in Rias's hand. "Is his adopted son, who is looking to enter this school."

"But why?" Rias asked with a confused as she put the paper down. "With his connections, he could go to the best schools in the world, and if his intelligent is no joke he could even go to college by now."

"He should, but for some reason, he chose Kouh Academy," Sona said as she folded her hands. "It could be that he's like every other boy and is thinking only about girls," Sona said with a small huff while Rias giggled. "Or maybe he likes Japanese culture, as it's one of the languages he's fluent in."

"So, are you going to accept him?" Rias asked while sitting across from Sona.

"...I think I will," Sona said with a nod as she glanced at the paper. "His grades are excellent, and he's gained multiple awards for science since middle school. Regardless of his reason, he will be an excellent student. I just hope he's not another open pervert." Sona said while rubbing the bridge of her nose while Risa giggled. "We don't need the Perverted Trio to become the Perverted Quartet."

"Oh come on, they're not that bad," Rias said in a light-hearted tone.

"Just this week those three have been caught 20 times for peaking, taking photos, and reading certain magazines while on school grounds." Sona listed off while glaring at her smiling rivel. "And the only reason you're defending them is that you're interested in one of them."

Rias smiled at that as she leaned back in her chair. "Well, he is the only one in the school with a Sacred Gear that is dormant." She said before her eyes became serious. "You feel how powerful it is, even though it's dormant. If I can persuade him to join my Peerage then-"

"I know," Sona said softly as she noticed how uncomfortable and upset Rias became. "Which is why I've allowed him and his friends to stay in this school despite how much the Kendo, Swim, and Track clubs all ask me to expel them," Sona said with annoyance as she remembered the long, long, list of complaints from the clubs dominated by the girls.

Rias gave an uneasy laugh as she rubbed the back of her head. "Thanks for that, I know they're not the most love in this school," Rias said before sighing as she put her hand under her chin. "I'll try to recruit him, soon, I just want to give him more time as a normal human boy before I make him a devil."

Sona nodded at Rias, as the President waved her hand, and a moment later a chessboard appeared out of thin air on top of the desk.

"I understand, but I caution you to make haste," Sona said in a serious tone. "You do have a few years, but I believe you should act now while you still have time," Sona said before she looked at the board. "Do you wish to be white, or black?"

"White, and I believe I have a strategy to beat you," Rias said with a smile as the pieces appeared on their sides.

"Well, let's see what you've got," Sona said before the game between the two devils started.

"Sir, we have arrived."

"..."

"Sir, I said we've arrived-"

*S-Snore*

The pilot sighed as he reached down and shook the person's shoulder.

"I-I don't play with toys! Their collectibles!" The figure shouted as he bolted up.

"..."

"...You heard nothing."

"Of course, Mr. Helwing." The pilot said with a small grin, making the figure blush slightly. "Anyway, I thought you would like to know we are in Japan."

The figure, now shown to be Nathen Helwing, nodded while picking himself up with a groan. "Finally, I know we have the fastest jet in the world, but I seriously need to design something faster," Nate muttered as the door to the jet opened. The young teen was blinded by the sunlight for a second before quickly sliding on a pair of sleek sunglasses.

"Well, It's still impressive sir." The pilot said as he and Nate walked out of the plane. "It should have taken us 13 hours to reach Japan, but instead it only took 10."

"Ha, I won't be satisfied until we get that down to 5," Nate muttered as a fancy black car pulled up in front of the jet.

A moment later the driver exited the car and opened the door for Nate. "I will get your bags, sir, your school uniform and bag are inside." The Driver said with a small bow before he got to work as he spoke in Japanese.

That made Nate sigh as he claimed into the car. "Just got off the jet and already getting ready for school with no time to rest," Nate said as he started to change into Kouh Academy uniform, though he opted to ignore the tie and keep the jacket open. Nothing in the rules said you had to wear every little thing.

"Hey, you're the one who wanted to wait at the last minute since you couldn't leave your lab."

Nate blinked before looking up to see John Shepard, his guardian, looking at him through a TV screen that was attached to the sealing of the car. Shepard was an older man in his late 30s. He had a strong jaw, a buzz cut, and electric blue eyes. Despite the hard features, Shapard was giving Nate a fatherly smile.

"Don't remind me of my mistakes, I have an assistant for that already." Nate snorted as he throws on his school pants before throwing on the white shirt and black jacket.

"Speaking of Sam, he'll be at your home waiting for you once you get out of school."

"Along with all the other things I wrote down?" Nate asked as he throws his clothes to the side and sat in his Kouh Academy uniform.

"Everything is there, Sam will show you," Shepard said with a nod as Nate sighed. "I know you don't want to be there, but please try and have somewhat of a good time."

"I could have graduated from college by now and not have to deal with petty teen bullshit." Nate sighed as he pulled out his phone and started to type. "I could be in my lab working on our next big money maker, instead I'm in Japan about to go to a school that is every other teen's wet dream school," Nate said with a snort while shaking his head.

"Well look on the bright side, you're not only there for school after all," Shepard said as his face turned slightly serious.

Nate nodded as the driver got into the car. "Don't worry, I'll get it done. I'm me after all." Nate said with a cocky grin, yet his eyes were serious.

"Just try not to destroy too much property, we don't need another Harlem incident," Shepard said making Nate wince. "I'll call you later, try to have some fun." He said before the screen switched off.

As soon as the call ended the car took off, leaving the landing strip.

The ride was silent with Nate typing on his phone. Occasionally he would glance out of the window.

Kuoh Town would be a place that was considered a Town city, meaning it was too big to be some run-of-the-mill town and too small to be a city compared to the ones Nate has seen. It had malls, parks, hotels, and other attractions but there was also a thick forest surrounding the city.

Looking at some of the signs passing by Nathen could instantly translate the writing perfectly, seeing little shops and stores around every corner.

"Well, I won't have to be too out of my comfort zone. I'm a city boy and I live in the concert jungle, put me in a green jungle and I would go mad." Nate thought with a snort.

"We should be arriving at Kuoh Academy soon." The driver said while glancing back with a smile. "I hear it's an amazing school with a rich reputation. The pride of Kuoh." The Driver said with obvious pride.

"Interesting..." Nate muttered as he stared out the window at the town that he would be living in for a while.

After about 10 minutes of driving the car stopped, and Nate saw his new school, Kuoh Academy.

The school was lavish. Instead of a steel fence around the building, there was a light red brick wall around the entrance area. In the center was a large white building with two smaller buildings on each side. In the center of the courtyard was a white fancy fountain.

"...Damn, I've seen more modest schools in uptown New York," Nate muttered as he climbed out of the car and grabbed his school bag.

"Have a good day sir, I'll drop your bags off at your house." The driver said as Nate gave him a dazed nod, still looking at the school in shock.

"I'm surprised this is a public school, seriously, the funds it took to build this place you would think it's a rich prep school," Nate said as the driver drove away.

"Kuoh Academy has several sponsors who donate to allow anyone who can pass the entrance exam to attend. However, even if we are open to the public now, we still expect our students to be held to a higher standard."

Nate blinked as he turned to see two girls standing at the entrance.

One girl was the same height as him if only an inch shorter, and about the same age as Nate. She was slim with a cool look on her face, deep violet eyes, and black hair in a bob-cut.

The second girl was taller, with long black hair that reached to her knees, and light brown eyes, and she seemed to be older than both Nate and the other girl. In her hand was a folder with Nathen's name on the side.

"Hello Helwing-San," The violet eye girl said with a small bow. "I am Shitori Sona, Student Council president of Kuoh Academy," Sona said in a business-like tone. "This is my Vice-President Shinra Tsubaki." The older girl gave a bow as she kept silent. "We will be showing you around the school before classes start Helwing-San."

"Please, just call me Nathen or Nate for short. I know that saying the person's last name is common here, but I prefer it if you could say my first name. Helwing is too much of a mouth full." Nate said while waving his hand. "By the way, I'm impressed you speak English so well," Nate said while speaking in perfect Japanese, making the two girls blink. "But don't worry about me, I can speak and write in Japanese."

"I am glad, then that means there will be no hard adjustments Helwing-"

"Nate." Nathen deadpanned.

"...Nathen-san," Sona said while giving a small nod before turning around. "Please follow me." She said before she and Tsubaki both started to walk toward the school. "Though please remove your sunglasses before we enter the school."

"Actually, I have a doctor's note," Nate said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Sona. "My eyes are sensitive to light so I ware these special sunglasses to lessen the strain."

Sona looked over the note before giving a cut nod. "Very well, I will inform the teachers of this," Sona said as she gave Tsubaki the note before walking to the school once more.

Nate shrugged before he followed the two girls into the school.

"I understand that you were homeschooled after graduating middle school," Sona said without looking back. "If you don't mind me asking, why was that?"

Nathen looked around with wide eyes at the fancy school before he spoke. "I was too smart for normal school. My original plan was for me to be homeschooled for a few years before I jumped into a college and graduated as fast as possible." Nate said before giving an annoyed sigh. "My guardian suddenly decided that I needed a school life to be well-adjusted and told me I would need to graduate from a real high school before going to college," Nate said with a groan as he rubbed his face. "Bleeding heart jackass," Nate mutters under his breath.

Sona twitches as the swore but did not comment on it. "If that was the case, why choose Kuoh Academy?" Sona asked with curiosity as they entered the building. "From what I read you are from America, which is on the other side of the world. What compelled you to come here?"

Sona was honestly curious about why Nate chose Kuoh Academy out of all the schools he could have gone to in the world. With his connections and intelligence, the sky was nearly the limit for him, yet he chose the school run by two High-Class Devils, it sounded suspicious.

Yet as far as she could tell, Nathen Helwing was 100% human. No lingering magic, no sacred gear, Nathen Helwing was a normal, human, teenage boy.

"Please let this one not be another pervert." Sona thought with some dread. "I can't deal with more complaints if there are 4 of them."

"Honestly, it was a bit of a process of elimination," Nate said with a shrug. "I wanted to go to a Japanese school since you only need 3 years to graduate, not 4. I don't care what college I go to so when I heard that Kuoh Academy doubles as a college I thought 'Hey, two birds one stone, and I applied."

"Practical," Sona said while sighing in relief, feeling Nathen's words were genuine. "Let us continue the tour, classes start in half an hour."

With that Sona and Tsubaki showed Nate around Kuoh Academy, showing him the various classrooms and clubs that he could join. The school was big, and a lot of money was invested into the building as everything looked new and fancy.

"It's recommended for all students to join a club of their choosing, though since you're a transfer you have time," Sona said as she walked Nate down the hallway. Sona gave a nod to Tsubaki as the older girl pulled out a file and handed it to Nate. "This is your class schedule and your homeroom class. If you have any questions, just find Tsubaki or me."

"Yeah, thanks Sona, I'll keep that in mind," Nate said as he looked his schedule over. "2-B, huh," Nate muttered before looking up at the two girls. "Well, thanks for the warm welcome girls, hopefully, I'll see you around," Nate said with a carefree smile before he walked off.

"...He seemed nice," Tsubaki said in a quiet tone as Nathen turned a corner.

"But he curses too casually." Sona sighed while pinching the bridge of her nose. "At least we know he's not some open pervert."

Sona had purposefully led Nathen to the various girl clubs such as the track and swim clubs to come to train early to see the young American's reaction. Luckily for Sona Nate wasn't a drooling, bleeding nose mess as soon as he saw a bit of skin. Though he was checking out some of the girls, Sona could live with what 90% of the males in school did daily as long as Nathen wasn't an active pervert. The Student Council President had enough on her plate already.

Though she could do without him casually swearing.

"Let's head to class," Sona said before turning and walking away, Tsubaki right behind her.

"Yes, President."

"2-B... 2-B... where the hell is 2-B?"

Nate wandered the halls of Kouh searching for his classroom, getting a few looks from other students as class started.

"Guess they aren't used to seeing Americans." Nate thought before he saw an older teacher walking down the hall. "Excuse me, can you help me?" Nate asked, making the teacher stop and look at him. "I'm new and having a hard time finding 2-B." The young man said while flashing his schedule.

The teacher looked at Nate with a surprised look before pointing to himself. "I'm the teacher of 2-B," The teacher said, making Nathen blink. "And I'm assuming you're the new transfer student Nathen Helwing?"

"That's me, sir," Nate said with a nod.

"Right, well follow me." The teacher said as he started to walk with Nathen right behind him.

The two walked for a few minutes before stopping at a door with '2-B' on a sign above.

"I'll go in, when I look to you, you may enter." The teacher said before entering the classroom before Nate could say anything.

As the teacher entered his classroom filled with students, who were chatting with one another, the teacher cleared his throat, instantly making everyone quiet down.

"Alright class, today we have a new transfer student joining us today, all the way from America." The teacher said, getting a lot of surprised looks and chatter from everyone. "So please give a warm welcome."

From the outside, Nathen could tell the class was interested in who was joining them. From what the Americans could hear the guys were hoping for a sexy American girl would be joining the class while the girls were hoping for an American hunk.

Nate saw the teacher look at him as he entered the classroom.

Instantly Nate got several reactions from his new classmates.

"Damn it, it's a guy!"

"Why couldn't we get a busty blond!"

"Damn it, he looks like a pretty boy!"

"He's pretty good-looking."

"Sexy man has entered the scene!"

Nate couldn't help but smirk at the reactions from everyone, already finding them entertaining.

"Hello everyone, my name is Nathen Helwing, and I'm from America," Nate said with a small bow. "Please treat me well."

"Is there anything you like to talk about yourself?" The teacher asked once the chatter died down.

Nate put his hand under his chin, gaining a thoughtful look before he spoke.

"Well, I've traveled a lot over the years, I speak several languishes..." Nate said while continuing to look thoughtful. Suddenly, the young man grinned as he looked at the class. "And I have two hobbies, tinkering with machines and watching old American movies," Nate said with some pride getting a few looks from the students.

The teacher nodded. "Alright, take the seat in the corner over there."

Nate nodded as he moved through the class to find himself sitting at a corner table right next to a window.

"Welcome to Japan, Mr. America."

At Nate sat down he turned to his neighbor.

It was a girl the same age as him. She had round glasses with a pink frame, golden eyes, and slightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side of her head. Her figure was slim, but she had curves and attraction to her figure.

Before Nate could say anything, the teacher turned to the board and started the class. Not wanting to get called out on the first day Nate pulled out a paper and pencil from his bag and started to get to work.

"I forgot... how boring school was." Nate groaned as his third class finished and lunch started.

Most of Nate's new classmates left without any hesitation. Others reached into their desks and pulled out their lunches from home.

"I'll see what they have in school to eat," Nate muttered as he started to put his books away. "Seriously, I know all this crap before I got here, now I have to listen to it again. Waste of time."

As Nate put his books away, Nate heard footsteps and found three students in front of him, all males. Nate blinked as he took in their appearance.

One was a boy with a shaved head and big ears, kind of making him look like a monkey. Despite the look, Nate noticed he was quite lean and well-fit.

The second boy was quite lankier, with scraggily black hair and large glasses over his eyes. He was also the only one who seemed to be wearing the full uniform.

The last one was a teen with a red shirt, large spikey brown air, and an easy grin on his face. He wasn't skinny or lean, if Nate was honest, he looked the most normal.

"Hello..." Nate said slowly as he continued to put his books away.

"Hey, I'm Issei," The brunette said with a friendly smile. "And these are Matsuda and Motohama."

"Sup," Nate said with a small wave as he throws his bag over his shoulder.

"So, you're really from America?" Issei asked with some excitement in his voice and a grin on his face, making his two friends also grin.

Nate gave the three a grin. "Yup, born and raised in the good old USA. I mostly grow up in big cities like New York City and LA."

"What are the girls like over there?" Motohama asked while pushing his glasses up, which seemed to gleam.

Nate raised an eyebrow at the random question. "Well... girls in America come in all shapes and sizes," Nate said slowly as he looked at the three, who now seemed very eager for some reason. "Why do you ask?"

"S-So is it true that on average most American girls have large breasts? And they're not afraid to sleep around?" Issei practically shouted out with a gleam in his eyes, getting the attention of some of the other students.

"...What?" Nate said while blinking, wondering if he heard that right. "Did I fall asleep in class to avoid the boredom, that's the only thing that makes sense right now?"

"Come one, tell us! Do American girls have large Oppai?!" Issie asked again with a fire in his eyes.

"Forget the Oppies! I want to know if American girls can be petite and cute like a Loli!" Matsuda roared with a fire in his eyes.

"Please, you fools always focus on one aspect. You should be wondering if American girls have even proportions. A perfect ratio on a woman is ideal." Motohama said in a calm tone but made little sense to Nate.

"...What the fuck is going on?" Nate muttered while looking at the three teens casually talking about girls' bodies as if it was the weather. Nate noticed that everyone in the class, especially the girls, was glaring in disdain at the three boys as they continued to rant, yet that didn't even slow the boys down one bit despite the glares. "What have I gotten myself into?" Nate muttered while rubbing his head.

"Haha, don't worry, despite their obsessions they are completely harmless."

The three boys screamed the voice behind them as they seemed to jump into the air before hiding behind Nate.

Standing in front of Nate's desk was the girl that sat next to him in class. The brown hair girl with golden eyes and a mischievous grin.

"Hello again, Mr. America." The girl said with a grin and playful tone, which made Nate smile.

"Just call me Nate if you please. No Helwing if you can help it." Nate said while glancing at the boys behind him, who seemed to be cowering in fear behind the American teen.

"First name basses right off the bat, they must be intimate in America." The girl said in a playful tone. "Well, I'm Aika Kiryuu, and since I can call you Nate you may call me Aika."

"Nice to meet you Aika," Nate said with a smile before glancing at the boys again, who seemed to calm down yet still looked weary of Aika. "So, what's the story with these three?" Nate asked, getting an amused look from Aika.

Before Aika could comment Nate's question seemed to knock them out of their fear and stand tall and proud.

"We are men of Culter on a never-ending quest to gain our dream," Issei said with a lot of passion as Motohama and Matsuda stood by his side, nodding at every word. "And that dream is... to gain a harem of our ideal girls!" Issei shouted with a perverted look on his face, making his friends also gain perverted looks.

Matsuda brought out a large camera from out of nowhere. "With my photography skills, I can always get the best shots of girls from anywhere."

Motohama pushed up his glasses with a cocky smile on his face. "With one glance I can perfectly know a girl three sizes in seconds. That means their bust, hips, and weight."

Issei puffed out his chest with a wide smile on his face. "And one day I will become a Harem King! Having a hundred sexy girls with big Oppai in my harem."

"And together we are... The Perverted Trio!" The three said together while posing.

"..." Nate had no word. He shut his brain off to save whatever brain cells he could, the ones that died screams will forever haunt his dreams.

Once Nate's mind rebooted, he looked to Aika, who was the only girl in the class who didn't look angry or disgusted. Aika looked downright amused by the three.

"So... are they high or something?" Nate asked Aika, the American knowing that some drugs did mess with people's heads in strange ways.

Aika gave a small laugh as she waved their hands. "Afraid not, this is all of them." The girl said with an amused look as the boys glared at Nate for thinking they were on drugs. "As you can probably guess they aren't the most popular in school and have never had a girlfriend," Aika said without mercy, making the three teens stagger before looking down in depression.

Nate chuckled at the brutal words. "So, this is going to be a thing, huh," Nate said with a shrug, he's seen strange, but this was taking the cake.

"Don't trust that woman Helwing-san!"

"Call me Nate," Nate said calmly as Issei pointed at Aika with frustration and fear on his face, while Aika continued to smile.

"Yeah, despite her smile and calm looks she is just as big a pervert as we are!" Motohama said while pushing up his glasses. "She has a skill very similar to my Size Scouter, only she uses it on men and can tell the size of their... manhood."

Nate slowly turned to Aika who continued to smile in a carefree manner. "So... you're a pervert too... and you have a perverted skill to go with it."

"Guilty," Aika said without any shame.

"...I think I'm okay with that," Nate said with a shrug.

"WHAT?!" The Perverted Trio shouted in shock. "How can you be okay with her?!"

"Double Standards," Nate said with another shrug. "If a guy is perverted in public, he's a creep, but if a girl does it, she's not. At least to me, that's the case. Plus she's way more chill about it than you guys."

"How is that fair?!" The three shouted at Nate angrily, who didn't look fazed in the least.

"It's not, that's what Double Standards mean," Nate said with an eye-roll. "Like parents will encourage their sons to go out with girls but will hold back their daughters from hanging out with guys," Nate said with a snort. "It's not fair, but that hasn't stopped the last billion parents from doing just that this year alone." Glancing at the time Nate started to make his way out. "Now if you excuse me, I'm hungry and I need to eat, so bye."

Nate made his way out of the classroom, leaving the perverted trio behind.

"Well, that was a little crazy," Nate muttered as he walked down the hallway. "Seriously, who shouts that in the middle of class with such pride."

"Those three, it's kind of their thing."

"AH!" Nathen yelped as he whipped around to see a grinning Aika.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Aika said in a tone that was anything but sorry.

"I'm sure you are," Nate said while rolling his eyes. "So, what do you need?" Nate asked as he started to walk again, Aika walking next to him now.

"Oh, I'm just curious," She said while tilting her head at Nate. "It's not every day we get a transfer student, especially one from the other side of the world."

Nate shrugged as he continued to walk, not at all bothered by Aika's presence. "Well, I guess you can follow me, as long as you lead me to where they sell the food here."

That seemed to make Aika grin as she started to lead Nate through the school.

"I'm surprised you letting me stand so close to you," Aika confessed with her playful smile on full blast. "When most guys find out what I can do they usually steer clear of me like the plague."

"Because of your 'power'?" Nate quoted the word while raising a brow at the girl. "Yeah, not the most intimidating power I ever heard. I mean if you could read minds, then that would be pretty scary."

"Oh but I can," Aika said with a small laugh. "For instance, I can tell you're having very dirty thoughts right now about the track club we just passed." She said while pointing out the window to show a group of girls in track clothes running.

"That's not reading minds, that's stating the obvious," Nate said with a snort, not denying he was checking out the very fit girls in short shorts. "You could say the same thing to a hundred different men and 90% of them would be thinking the same thing." The young man said before looking at the perverted girl. "So, have you used your power on me?" Nate couldn't help but ask.

Akia hummed while rubbing her chin, her glasses gleaming under the sunlight. "I thought about it... but decided not to." She said while giving Nate her winning smile, which had a wicked grin attached to it. "Why waste a surprise on a boring day like this? I'll find out whenever I feel like it." She said in a carefree tone.

"Right..." Nate said slowly. He admired that the girl was saying what was on her mind with no hesitation, but she had some strange things on her mind. Though it did help she was pretty at least.

Suddenly, Nate stopped as he felt eyes on him. Looking around Nate soon looked up into another building to see a redhead, a very voluptuous redhead at that, looking down at him with a curious smile. The strange redhead seemed to give Nate a smile before disappearing from the window."

"That's Rias Gremory, one of the great Three Big Sis of the school," Akia said as she followed Nate's line of sight. "And as you can see, the one with the sexiest body in the entire school. She's president of the Occult Club, and from what I hear it's an exclusive club, and only she's allowed to invite people into." Akia informed Nate.

"Well, she has that air of mystery going on for her," Nate said as he shook his head and turned to Akia, making the girl blinked. "So, how far are we from the cafeteria?"

"So, that's the new student Sona was telling you about," A light female voice said. "He's quite cute." The voice said with a playful giggle.

Rias gave a small laugh as she looked at her best friend. "I thought so too, though he seems too serious for me," Rias said to Akeno Himejima.

Akeno was Risa's Queen, which made Akeno Risa's right hand on and off the battlefield. Akeno was also Risa's best friend and someone the redhead could always turn to whenever needed.

Akeno was a beautiful young woman with a figure that rivaled Rias's. She had long black hair tied into a ponytail that reached down to her legs and deep violet eyes. She seemed like the definition of a typical Japanese beauty, though Risa knew there was more to the girl than meets the eye, especially with her personality.

"So, you won't be adding him to the peerage?" Akeno asked with a pout. "A shame, I would love to see that stoic face break when I play with him." She said with a glint in her eyes.

Rias gave a small laugh as Akeno's sadistic personality surfaced for a moment, already used to her Queen's habits. "No, we won't be adding him." She said with a small sigh. "It's unfortunate, but Nathan has no Sacred Gear, no magic, and seems to have no connection to any past hero. Adding him to the peerage would be a gamble, and I can't take gambles at the moment." The redhead said with a frown before smiling a bit. "We may be able to get him as a client, though I believe Sona is already planning on making her move." She said with a small pout, making Akeno giggle.

Suddenly the three girls were brought out of their conversation by the sounds of angry yelling and fearful screams.

Looking out the window Rias and Akeno saw the infamous Perverted Trio running away from the entire Kendo Club, who all had anger in their eyes as they chases the boys with wooden swords in hand.

As the Perverted Trio ran Rias's eyes narrowed at one person in the group, catching Akeno's attention.

"So, that's him, Issei Hyoudou?" Akeno asked while the group ran around the school building. "He will certainly make things interesting should he join."

Rias couldn't help but bite her thumbnail, an old habit she did whenever she was frustrated or worried. Issei Hyoudou had a Sacred Gear, a magical artifact created by God himself to arm humanity against the supernatural. Issei's Sacred Gear was dormant, meaning he had no idea what he had inside of him. That also meant Rias herself had no idea which Sacred Gear Issei had, for he could have one to rival the strongest Devils or a weak Sacred Gear that could barely take on a Stray Devil. It was a gamble and Rias hated gambles.

Giving a small sigh Rias made her way to the ClubHouse, Akeno following in tow. She would have to make her decision soon. Would Issei Hyoudou join her peerage or not?

"First day of school... and I hated every second of it."

Nate couldn't help but groan as he walked down a quiet road with his bag thrown over his shoulder.

After lunch, the rest of the school day was mundane, to say the least. Nothing exciting or even interesting, just normal school work and Nate hated normal.

Pulling out his phone Nate made sure to follow the GPS to his house, and after taking two bus rides and walking a few blocks, Nate came to a stop and looked up.

The building in front of Nate had a modern look to it. It was a two-story building with a balcony, a garage on the side, and a large backyard.

This was Nate's new home for the years to come, and he could say he didn't mind the look of it.

Walking up to the front door Nate pressed the doorbell and a camera zoomed in on his face.

"Ah, Mr. Helwing, I see you have arrived from school." A voice from an intercom said as the front door to the house unlocked.

"Hey, Sam, how are things with our new home?" Nate asked as he entered the building.

"This new home is technologically sophisticated and outfitted with the latest in home safety, by your standards of course," Sam said through the house. "I have also set everything to your liking, so you do not have to worry about unpacking."

"Thank god for that," Nate said with a sigh. "So where are you?"

"I am in the basement, please make your way to the screening room."

Nate did what he was told and found himself in the screening room. It was a big room filled with several chairs all facing a large TV on the wall, it was Nate's movie theater, and he loved it. Off to the side, Nate saw a large bookshelf filled to the brim with DVDs, his collection.

Walking up to the shelves Nate took in his collection before spotting a movie that didn't quite fit it wasn't a movie at all.

"Last Half of Darkness? Putting it on the nose Sam!" Nate called out as he pulled the game out.

A moment later the shelves parted to reveal a staircase that lead down, a secret elevator.

Stepping into the elevator Nathan placed his hand on the scanner before pressing the level 1 button before the elevator closed. It took just under 10 seconds before the elevator stopped and the metal doors parted to reveal a room.

A massive white room filled to the brim with tools, tech, gadgets, and dozens of other goodies that made Nate feel nothing but joy. As the young man scanned the room his eyes caught the sight of a massive computer on the far end, which he made a B-line for.

Sitting on the expensive leather chair Nate looked at the computer with a grin on his face.

"I see you followed all my instructions to the letter Sam," Nate said with a grin as he looked around.

"Of course sir, I know how crabby you can be when things aren't to your liking." The computer said while jabbing at Nate.

Nate ignored the jab and glanced around. "So how big is this lab?"

"Along with this floor, you have three other levels for various needs. One of which is an armory filled with passed inventions."

"Amazing what our client can do in a matter of weeks," Nate said as he sighed and gained a serious look. "Speaking of our client, we have a job to do," Nate said as he started to type on his computer. "Send drones 1 through 20 out into the city, camo activated along with scanners."

"Right away sir," Sam said and after a few moments, the large screen split into 20, all showing various images of the city. "All drones are active and set to scan."

"Keep an eye out for any magic or other supernatural energies, no point in using facial recognition as our friends will no doubt change their faces to hide."

"Should I ignore the Devils and their activities sir?"

Nate gained a thoughtful look before shaking his head. "Scan them too, they aren't the target but I want to know as much as I can in case things become dicey."

"Very well sir, scanning now."

With that Nate spun around in his chair and made his way over to one of his workbenches. "Update me when you pick up anything unique," Nate said as he grabbed a wrench with a grin before pulling out a box of scrap metal, and already ideas were growing in Nate's head. "In the meantime, I've got work to do."

21N: And that's a wrap-up for this folks!

I hope everyone like the opening chapter of this story. Some parts may feel rocky but I promise things are going to look good as the story goes on.

Now to answer some questions I know people are going to have, though I will leave some questions up as they may be answered in the next chapter.

1: I know everyone is wondering if Nate is going to get his harem... and the answer is yes. Come on people, it wouldn't be DxD if there wasn't a harem for the MC of my story. And for those wondering, yes there will be lemon later on. I won't spoil who will be in the harem yet, but I will once people start to get an idea.

2: I won't just be using DxD characters in this story. I plan to use characters from other media to add to this story as it progresses. Some of you may already see where I dropped a few notable characters.

I wish I can answer more, but if I do I would spoil the story. I hope you continue to follow, like, and comment on my stories.
