Author's Note: It is interesting to see people making conclusions when only two chapters are released. This is only the beginning and I haven't unleashed any of the major plot points yet. I am still working on them at the moment.

This chapter mostly pulls elements from To Love-Ru OVA. I hope the events presented here give Issei enough curiosity to keep his eyes on him.

There were some more parts about Issei's curiosity. However, I decided to leave that part out. Depending on how this story goes, I may not need that extra bit of element at all.

Chapter 3:

The Mysterious Student

"Room 251. It must be this room here."

Issei quickly finds his room and moves in. Given his extraordinary strength from the training with Tannin and his red dragon power, Issei is able to move all his belongings in without any trouble. When he finally gets a chance to sit down on his bed, he observes the room he will be bound to for the next year. Like all of the student dormitories in this college, the place looks like a furnished prison cell. The only difference is that there are no bars in front of the doors.

"This is sure going to be a boring place for the next few years. I am already missing Rias and Asia just looking at this place. The probably have a better setup in their dormitories since their college is more prestigious. Maybe it even looks like a hotel with two western-style beds next to each other. There's probably top notch maid service over there too."

Issei tries to lie down on his bed but accidentally bumps his head. "Ouch! Even this bed is hard as rock. What a very cheap facility."

"Hey you man, over here." Issei rolls around in his bed and sees his new roommate on the other side of the room. His roommate is sitting up staring at him with thick glasses.

"You have been here for more than 10 minutes and you still haven't noticed me? From the looks of you, you probably like to hog the room all to yourself with those stupid decorations."

"What are you talking about and who are you anyways?" Issei tries to understand his words as he feels the unwelcome vibes from his new roommate.

"You are Issei Hyoudou, right? You know it is improper not to introduce yourself first. Have your parents taught you this?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to ignore you. Ehehe… Nice to meet you. You are right that I am Issei Hyoudou. What is your name?"

"I am Ken Carbin." Ken quickly shakes Issei's hands and returns to his bed.

"Listen, Hyoudou-san, let's get things straight. First, I hate H. Second, I am not supposed to be here. I was supposed to go to Tokyo Institute of Technology, but I missed the deadline to apply so I am stuck here. That leads to number three, I want a sterile environment that will let me study and earn good grades for me to transfer over there. That means nothing except peace and quiet. Do you understand?"

"Yes, whatever. You should know that this is my room too." Issei pulls out his collection of female model posters, making Ken angry. Ken gets the relief when the dorm supervisor comes to inspect their dorm room.

"Hello. So you are Issei and you are Ken, correct? I am here to make sure that everyone is checked in and there is nothing wrong with the move-in process."

Both of them nod. The dorm supervisor then spots Issei's posters. "Issei, I haven't gone over the rules yet, but one of the rules is not to put any inappropriate decorations up. I know you are at the age, but your posters are too distracting for an educational environment. You can be cited for putting those posters up so put those away." The dorm supervisor exits and leaves Issei with a disgruntled face. Issei, not wanting to deal with Ken anymore, decides to move with his laptop computer to the lounge in the middle of the hallway. Inside the lounge are large sofas and tables. There is also a small kitchen nearby for people who want to cook.

"This place is much better. I really wish I can make this place my room. Why did I get paired up with such as jerk? I don't know anybody here so I really didn't have a choice."

By the time Issei's laptop has completely booted, his ComTalk application starts to buzz. Issei quickly hovers over to the icon and clicks on it.

"Huh? Rias is on the line? I guess I am connected to a network. That was fast." Issei answers it.

"Hello, Issei. I am calling to check on my dear servant. It looks like you made it fine."

"Hey Rias. Yeah, the travel portion went pretty well," Issei enthusiastically answers.

"That's good to hear. So, how is your new life at Sainan? Anything new you would like to share with me?"

"Umm…" Issei organizes his thoughts. "It's horrible. This place is weird. My dorm room looks like a prison cell and I have an annoying roommate to deal with."

"Interesting. I am sure you will have exciting adventures from this point forward."

"This point forward? How? I'll probably feel more miserable than before. Sigh! If only I got into Kuou City University. I really want to be with Asia, Akeno-san, and you."

"Don't worry, Issei. I'll do anything to help out my fiancé. I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you."

"Well, Rias, is it possible for me to transfer to Kuou City University? I still want to be with you. Your school is probably better."

"Don't worry Issei, leave that all to me. You will get your wish. Just focus on your studies."

"Thanks." The conversation ends. Now that Issei feels a lot better after talking to Rias, he starts preparing for his first day of class.

"It looks like I have Japanese History in the morning. Then, there is Chemistry next. To be honest, I don't know where I would go from here. I am still undeclared and I have to make my choice by the end of my second year. Devils have long lives, but humans don't."

Before Issei can look through the rest of his schedule, he hears a loud thump followed by a long stream of noises. Issei walks over to the window and finds a strange boy on the floor with books on top of him.

"This place is sure weird. Now, there is a clumsy boy who falls in the middle of a flat hallway. How is that even possible? Everything doesn't make sense."

"Hey Yuuki-kun! Are you alright? I can help you if you want." A blue-haired girl offers this boy some help.

"That's OK. I can do it by myself." The person gets up and tries to pick up all the books he dropped. Being heavy, the books disrupt his balance, making him fall all over again, this time with a surprise.

"Gyaaaaa!" Issei could hear screams followed by a series of slaps. He quickly races over to see the aftermath of this boy. The boy has fallen again, this time under the blue-haired girl's underwear. There are also many girls kicking and yelling at him.

"What a monkey!"

"You're such a pervert!"

"You're the worst."

Issei watches as the boy quickly begs for forgiveness. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

"Seriously, you're getting too old for this. Who the hell slips on carpet?" The girls walk off, leaving the boy alone.

"I feel so ashamed to be in the same dormitory with such a weird kid. He slips on rough carpet and manages to lunge himself towards girls' underwear."

Issei then compares the boy to him. "But… it does make me feel jealous. I wish such accidents happen to me too. No, I must be pure. If I copy him, I will get frowns from Rias and Asia. This kid probably doesn't have any girlfriends or engagement yet so he can do it without much trouble. Sometimes I wish I can be free like him."

Issei's theory is questioned when he sees another girl approach him. She has short pink hair and is shorter than the blue-haired girl he saw earlier.

"Good evening, Rito-san! Don't worry about what just happened; accidents always happen. Here, take this. This plant will decorate your dorm room very nicely. It will also help you refreshed after a long day of difficult lessons."

"Ah, thanks. Momo. I'll take it into my room later."

"Oh, you better hurry. Onee-san is waiting for you upstairs as well." As the boy walks off, another girl with pink hair approaches him. This time, her hair is slightly longer than the person before.

"Hey, Rito. I have a present for you too. It's a nice teddy bear that Haruna and I picked at the mall."

"Oh, thank you," Rito takes the teddy bear as well.

"Don't get me wrong! I am here to make sure you don't act perverted. You better remember that you are also Ane-ue's fiancée."

"Same here. I am here to keep your morality on your toes, Yuuki-kun. You are already an adult and your actions are unacceptable in the real world. Got it?" A black-haired girl approaches the boy from another angle. As more girls approach the boy with gifts and invitations, Issei is stuck trying to analyze the situation.

"Is this a dream? How can it be? Isn't this the same person that got beaten up by the girls? How can this person grope girls while getting the same level of admiration as Kiba? …and he has a girlfriend too? How was he able to get one?"

"I see you're watching that boy over there. Doesn't that make you feel jealous?" Issei turns around and finds someone standing next to him.

"Well, a little bit. Do you know him personally? How can get girls despite his mistreatment of them?"

"I don't know him personally, but I went to the same high school as him. You are looking at Rito Yuuki, the biggest pervert back in high school. His perversion is so horrible that he is always discussed by the Morals Committee. I was one of the members. His acts of indecency includes showing up in school naked, wedging himself between the legs of girls, and groping girls' breasts. He has been moderated many times, but with a principal as bad as this boy, he was always let go. I hope this university thoroughly gives him the makeover he missed out on in high school."

"What! No fair." Issei thinks in his mind. "I wanted to do those too and get away with it. When I was in high school, the farthest I have ever gotten is peeking into the girl's locker room. Before I met Rias, I would never get the chance. Matsuada and Motohama always take the jackpot and I get the beating. Why can't I have a high school life just like him? Life is just not fair!"

"Don't you feel enraged when you see this? You are probably thinking how this boy is able to attract so many girls too. There's nothing spectacular about him. He has good athletic skills, but that's it. He is always near the bottom of the class rank and always has to take remedial classes. It's surprising he somehow made it here. If I could, I would throw all my hatred and stress on Rito."

"So his name is Rito, eh?"

"Yes, that's all you need to know about him. Don't even try to befriend him. He'll make you angry. All those beautiful girls around him will defend this worthless boy vigorously so there's no hope if you wish to lure them away."

"Interesting analysis. Thanks for the input." Issei watches the boy next to him leave and join the other boys in beating down Rito. The fight lasts for a good minute before the dorm supervisor arrives. Issei has something else on his mind.

"That Rito boy has the ability to attract girls even though he does many indecent acts on them? The girls would also defend him? Why would the other boys get insanely jealous at him? I am sure there is something inside of him that gives him such powers. Maybe it's a Sacred Gear."

Issei becomes more curious about Rito that his head starts to hurt. Issei sees the same blue-haired girl guiding him upstairs. Waiting for him at the stairs is another pink-haired girl, this time with extra long hair matching the length of Rias's hair.

"I don't understand. How is it possible that he is a ladies' man? He doesn't have the looks and intelligence of Kiba. This is beyond my thinking power."

Issei's curiosity reaches a point where he summons his familiar to watch over Rito. He outfits his familiar (a flying ship) with cameras, microphones, and sensors to spy and track all of Rito's movements.

"Now, show me all the secrets of this Rito boy."

In the meantime, Issei tests his Bilingual technique.
