well its been a week and as i promised here is the double post to celebrate the poll closing. the results are...
it was a close one but by one vote Kenta takes the both of them so i have reworded part of these chapters to that fact, hope you enjoy this double post, and sorry to all those who wanted Rias to go to Issei but don't worry he'll still have plenty of girls.
Ok now for the comments
Ryujomaru15: those were what the harems were looking like up till now, but they've changed slightly ill update it at the end of the chapter again, and a fem Vali could work, I've got a few scenes in mind for those two but ive got time, so ill put it to a poll if im not convinced
Guest: well looks like you got your wish, and then some, Kenta is a lucky bugger =)
ok the current stats are 13 reviews, 15 favorites, 20 followers and 1565 views, I couldn't be happier hopefully i get more as the day goes on.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn, 'man I'm still sleepy after last night, I'm going to have to speak to Rias about those late running meetings, I'm ether going to sleep on my time off or start popping caffeine pills or something, eh I've got a free period first thing today so I'll catch some z's then'
I'm currently walking in the school gate, spotting on of the trees in the shade, I toss my bag to the ground and lie down using my bag as a pillow, I've got two shinai bags beside me in one is my shinai for practicing with, and in my other is my family sword, Rias suggested I carry it with me after seeing me use it so easily. I didn't mind it, better than leaving it in the dojo gathering dust.
I was enjoying the piece and quite when I felt something on my lap, I opened my eyes, and to my surprize, Koneko was using my lap as a pillow.
"Koneko?"
"Hai Kenta-senpai"
"Um, what are you doing?"
"Resting with senpai….free period too"
"Um ok"
I closed my eyes and smiled.
'Hey I wasn't going to tell her no, and she is kind of cute. Ok I take that back, she is absolutely freekin adorable.'
I run my hand over her hair, just to see her reaction.
"Nya~"
'Ok adorable overload, I'm going into melt down.'
But I can't help but feel eyes on us, I crack my eye and see a bunch of male students glaring at me and Koneko, I flash my sword, they take one look and then run for their lives. I close my eye and just enjoy the morning air, along with the cutie on my lap, this morning is perfect.
End of school Kentas' POV
Koneko and I come into the club room only to hear Issei getting a major lecture.
"Don't ever get close to the Church again. To us Devils, the Church is an enemy's territory. Just stepping into it can cause a rift between the Devils and God. Since it was an act of kindness by taking the nun to the Church, they didn't harm you, but the Angels are always on the lookout. You were in a situation where it wouldn't be strange for them to hit you with a spear of light. Don't get involved with people from the Church. Especially the Exorcists who are our biggest enemy. They could easily eliminate us because their powers are supported by the prayer of God. More so if it is an Exorcist with a Sacred Gear. That would be the same as standing on the boundary of death, Issei."
'I was told all this last night so it wasn't news to me, but it was really common sense if you think about it. But then Issei is always oppai on the brain and by the sounds of it a chick was involved so any of his common sense would have went out the window anyway'
"Y-Yes."
"You could avoid death as a human by being resurrected as a Devil. But Devils who are exorcised become completely terminated. They return to nothing. —Nothing. There is nothing left and you feel nothing. Do you know how serious that is?"
Rias shakes her head after seeing Isseis confused face.
"I'm sorry. I got too heated. Anyway, be careful from now on."
"Yes."
I was just about to speak and ask what happened when suddenly.
"Ara ara, did you finish lecturing him?"
Akeno was standing behind me and I didn't even realise it. She is smiling like usual. Dam she's good.
"Akeno, did something happen?"
Akenos' expression changes after Buchou asks her.
"We received an order for a hunt from the Arch Duke."
'Oh a hunt this should be interesting' I was already well informed by Rias about all the necessary information when it comes to stray devils, and how it was her peerages job to hunt them.
Fifteen minutes later outside an abandoned warehouse
On the way there Rias had explained to Issei what a stray devil was, I don't think he got any of it.
Now we're outside this warehouse where apparently every night, a Stray Devil is luring humans to the building to feed on them. As such, there was a request from the High-class Devil to hunt them. And since it was in Rias' territory the task falls to us. Apparently, this is also one of the jobs of a Devil.
I activate my Sharingan and look around, even with just my devil eyes I can see in the dark, but I wanted to be prepared for anything. Hmm, having a clear view of a creepy place like this isn't so good...
"…Smell of blood." Koneko covers her nose with her uniform after she says that.
'Smell of blood?' I focus my senses, 'yep I can smell it to. Koneko sure has a good sense of smell. It becomes quiet.'
'I don't like this it's the calm before the storm, I can feel its presence but I can't pin point it, dam my weak Sharingan, if it was full active id be able to pinpoint this bastard already and end this'
Isseis' legs are shaking. He's sacred shitless, hell so am I but I keep it buried. Rias who is up at the front putting her hands on her hips looks very reliable!
"Issei, Kenta, it's a good opportunity to experience what it's like to fight." Rias announces
'Hey I'm all up for that, a week in my mind of fighting Ehecatl, I'm more than confident I can take on a stray devil'
"Wait, are you serious!? I'm positive that I won't be of much use!" Issei speaks out.
'Grow some backbone' I roll my eyes
"Yes. It's still impossible now." She says it straight at us.
'Just wait till you see what I can do.' i chuckle inwordly
"But you can watch what a Devils' battle is like. Today, just concentrate and look at how we fight. Oh, yes. I will also explain the traits the servants have."
"Explain? The traits servants have?" issei asks
"Is this the whole peerage thing you said you would explain" I pipe up.
Issei has a confused look, but Rias nods and continues.
"Devils, who are the master, give traits to those who will become their servants. …Yes, it's probably about time I explain about it and also about the history of Devils."
Rias starts to explain about the current situation of the Devils.
"Long time ago, there was a three sided war between the Devils, the Fallen Angels, and God with its Angels followers. All three sides had a large army and they fought for almost eternity. As a result, all three sides lost most of their troops and the war finished several hundred years ago with no side winning."
Yumi continues after Buchou.
"The Devils were no exception. Big Devils with peerage who commanded about 20 or 30 troops lost most of their underlings because of the war. They lost so many that they couldn't even form new armies."
Akeno continues on from there.
"I heard that most of the pure Devils passed away in that war. Even after the war, there are still problems between the Devils, the Fallen Angels and God. Even though the Fallen Angels' and God's side also lost most of their troops, we are still in a position where we can't let our guard down, or else we will be in trouble."
Then, Rias speaks again.
"Then, the Devils decided to use a system to form a small group of soldiers. And that is the "Evil Piece"."
"Evil Piece?" Issei asks in confusion.
'yep that got me curious as well.'
"Devils with Peerage decide to use the traits of the human's game "Chess" to their Servant Devils. It was also sarcasm, because most of the servants are Devils that were reincarnated from humans. Since then, Chess became a popular game in the world of the Devils. We'll leave that aside. Devils who are masters are a [King]. In our case, that is me. From there, they created 5 special traits that consist of [Queen], [Knight], [Rook], [Bishop] and [Pawn]. Since they couldn't make an army, they decided to have a small number of Devils and give them enormous powers. This system was made in the past few hundred years, and this unexpectedly became popular amongst Devils with peerage."
"Popular? You mean the Chess rule?" I asked
"They started to compete against each other. For example like, "My Knight is stronger!", or "No, my Rook is stronger!" As a result, High-class Devils started to play a game like that of Chess against each other using their Servant Devils. We call it the "Rating Game". Anyway, this game became very popular amongst the Devils. Now, there are even tournaments for it. The strength of their [Pieces] and also how strong they are at the game affects the Devils' social position, and their peerage. There is a thing called [Piece Collect] where they gather humans with talents and make them into their [Pieces]. It's very popular recently. Talented servants become their status."
'I see. Pompous pricks'
"I'm not a matured Devil yet, so I can't participate in the official tournament. Even if I could, there are things that I need to go through, or else I can't play. In short, you two and my other servants here won't be participating in a game for a while."
"So does that mean that the others haven't played in that game yet?" Issei asks
"Yeah." Yumi answers my question.
'There is something that is bothering me. Yeah, my position as a [Piece].'
"Rias, what is our roles and traits? And what pieces are Issei and I?"
"You are—"
Rias stops there. I also know the reason why. I can feel chills all over my body. That's because of the presence of the enemy and its intent to kill became much stronger. There is something approaching us! I can see it clearly with my Sharingan. I point towards it, and everyone turns.
"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?" A low voice which is coming from below the ground.
Just hearing its voice sends a chill down my spine, so this is a stay devil.
"Stray Devil Vaizor. We are here to eliminate you." Rias announces that.
"Ketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketa…" The abnormal laughter echoes around us.
A topless woman appears from the shadow. But the woman's body is floating. No. Using my Sharingan I can see the rest of its form.
STEP
A heavy footsteps. The next thing that appears is the body of a gigantic beast. It's a grotesque being with an unnatural form having a woman's upper body and the lower body of a monster. It's holding something that looks like a spear in both of its hands. The lower body of the monster has four fat legs with sharp claws. Is it a snake tail? Wow! The tail is moving on its own! From the size of it, it's definitely more than seven meters tall. If it stands on its hind legs, won't it be much taller? Man, there are things like this as well!? I confirmed it again. Devils are scary!
"Leaving your master's side and rampaging as you please definitely deserve death. In the name of Duke Gremory, I will gladly eliminate you!"
I just face palm myself as Rias words, which gets everyone's attention
"What"
"seriously, do you have any tack at all, announcing yourself and then stating your intentions so openly, like it didn't already know that it was being hunted, so why announce it"
"Cause it sounded cool"
I face palm again at her words 'great I've got a tackles idiot for a king'
"Why not just attack quickly and end it rather than trying to act all high and mighty or is this a devil thing"
"And what makes you such an expert, Hm you're younger and less experienced than me"
"Yes and it's a wonder you've survived this long, oh Maou, have you even read art of war, or any war strategy book"
"N-No"
'that would explain a lot' while we were chatting, my eyes were following the stay devils movements as it was getting irritated, probably because we were flat out ignoring it now.
"Ahhhhh don't ignore me you little shiiiiiits"
The monster roars, but Rias just turns and laughs with her nose.
"Grunts sure do speak in a stylish manner. Yumi!" Rias orders
"Yes!" Yumi responds
Swoof!
Yumi, who was near me. Sprints ahead as soon as Rias gives her an order. Fast. She's insanely fast. But my Sharingan can follow her for the most of it, by the looks of things the stray devil cant.
"I will continue from the lecture before." Rias says.
'She really does have a death wish'
"Yumi's position is [Knight]. Its trait is speed. Those who become a [Knight] have their speed increased."
Just like Rias said, Yumi's speed increases, and eventually I wasn't able to follow her movements with my Sharingan. "Dam that's cool"
The monster is using its spear to attack, but it missed completely.
"And Yumi's ultimate weapon is swords." Yumi stops and suddenly she is holding onto a European sword. She took it out of the scabbard, and the drawn sword is reflecting the light of the moon.
SU!
Yumi suddenly disappears again. Next moment, the scream of the monster echoes. "Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
I watched as both of its arms are cut from its torso along with the spear. Blood gushes out of its wound. I couldn't help but grin.
"This is Yumi's power. Speed that you can't follow with your eyes, and sword skills of a professional. By combining these two, she becomes the fastest Knight."
'There is a shadow near the monster's legs… Wait! That's Koneko!'
"Next is Koneko. She is a [Rook]. The trait of a Rook is its—"
"Damn inseeeeeeeeect!"
The monster raised her foot to stamp on Koneko, I was about to react when I saw the looks on Rias and Akenos faces, I held back.
STOMP!
The enormous monster tries to stomp on Koneko! But the foot never touches the ground.
Looking closer with my Sharingan I can see Koneko is holding the foot up with little effort.
"The trait of a [Rook] is simple. Absolute strength. And also very high defence. It's impossible for a Devil with that calibre to stamp on Koneko. It can't crush her."
LIFT! Koneko completely lifts up the stray devil.
"…Fly" Koneko jumps high and punches into the stray devil's stomach very sharply.
BANG! The enormous body of the stray gets thrown backwards.
'Dam remind me never to piss her off, Ehecatl'
{Definitely, she would destroy you, and to think she was so cute this morning}
"Lastly, Akeno."
"Yes, Buchou. Ara ara, what should I do?"
Akeno-san is laughing while walking towards the monster that is on the ground after being hit by Koneko-chan.
"Akeno is a [Queen]. She's the one who is the strongest after me. She is the unbeatable Vice-president of our club who has all the traits of [Pawn], [Knight], [Bishop], and [Rook].
"Guuuuuu…!"
The monster stares at Akeno. Akeno makes a fearless laugh after seeing the monster's gaze. As a bright flash engulf her and her attire changes from the academy uniform to a shrine maiden attire.
'Very nice indeed'
i look to issei and a trickle of blood is coming out of his nose,'dam pervert'
"Ara ara, seems like you still have some energy left in you. Then how about this?"
Akeno-san puts her hands towards the sky.
FLASH!
Next instant, the sky sparkles, and a lightning bolt strikes down the stray devil.
"Gagagagagagagagagagagagaaa!"
I grin widely as the monster gets electrified violently. Its entire body gets burnt and smoke are coming out from it.
"Ara ara, looks like you still have some energy in you. Looks like you can take more."
FLASH!
'The sounds of its screams are music to my ears'
{You battle crazed sadist}
'I'm not denying it, we trained for a week. If you don't know me already then you really are hopeless'
Another lightning bolt hit the monster.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
'Soooooo nice'
The monster gets electrified again. It already sounds like its dying. Even so, Akeno-san strikes down the third lightning.
Akeno-san's face while striking down the lightning bolt looks scary and cold even though she is smiling.
'Oh could she be one too'
"Akeno excels at attacks using demonic-powers. She could use natural elements like lightning, ice, and fire. And most of all, she is the ultimate sadist." Rias confesses it like if it's nothing.
'A sadist! Hahahahaha at least I'm not alone'
{Oh great another one, you two are perfect for one another}
'Only if she's willing to be the M to my S'
"Usually, she's very kind, but once the battle starts, she won't stop until she calms down."
"…Uuu, I'm scared of Akeno-san." Issei confesses aloud
"You don't have to be afraid, Issei. Akeno is very kind to comrades, so it's not a problem. She even said that you were cute, Kenta. Next time, get spoiled by her. She will definitely hug you kindly."
"Ufufufufufufufu. How much of my lightning can you take? Right, Stray-san? You still can't die yet, okay? The one who finishes you off will be my master. Ohohohohohohoho!"
'Oh I'm liking her even more now, but just watching isn't enough, I want a piece of that thing now'
Suddenly the monster breaks out of the lightning Akeno is attacking with and rushes for her. Everyone's eyes go wide. I just grin. 'Time to shine'
A straight bold of lightning intercepts the stray devil as it lunges for Akeno. The attack blasts the monster into the wall as it crumbles around it. Everyone turns in the direction of the attack, to see me with my hand raised with lightning pouring out of it.
I grin maniacally, as I lower my hand and start walking forward, lightning sparks from my other hand as I continue walking forward.
"Oh Akeno, mind if we share, it not as fun for me if I just watch" I asked out of curtesy
Akeno smiles and I take that as a yes, "sure, but the death blow belongs to Buchou so don't go too far"
"Party pooper, fine" I joke
I come up beside Akeno with lighting pouring out of my hands. 'Time for some fun'
Rias' POV
'Well I certainly didn't see this coming, Kenta. Just how much did Akeno teach you?'
The stay devil busts out of the rubble it was trapped beneath.
"You baaaaaaastardddd, thaaat hurrrrrt!"
Kenta just stands there with his Sharingan active and lighting pouring out of his hands.
The stay devil rushes them both, Kenta raises his hands in to a single point as the lighting grows and covers a wider area, and the sound, it sounds like thousands upon thousands of birds, but then something strange happens with the lightning at the end of the bolts, they look to be forming smaller forms. Are those birds. There's at least fifty of them.
Kenta just grin as he thrusts his hands forward, the small newly formed lightning birds shoot at the stray devil, shooting straight through it hundreds of times as is screams out in pain.
"Chidori no yari" (one thousand bird spears)
Kenta is laughing like he's having the time of his life.
'Oh no not another Akeno, as if one wasn't bad enough, now I've found her male counterpart, though i do have to admit he dose look bad ass.'
And now Akeno is joining him in electrocuting the stray devil in unison, as they both look like their having the time of their lives, 'absolute mirror images of each other, i never would have guessed Kenta was this strong.'
Kentas' POV
Ah this is turning out to be a great night, both I and Akeno are enjoying ourselves to the full, and I'm getting to try out my new magic, talk about a win, win.
I lower my hands, with a huge grin on my face, Akeno stops also. She looks like she's finished having fun to.
"That was quite fun, Kenta-kun, I didn't know you were so adapt at magic, I only gave you one lesson, and you've advanced so far"
'Oh you have no idea' I grinned
"Y-you l-little shiiiits!"
The stray devil lunges at us again, 'still not had enough'
I turn my glair on it and disappear in a burst of static, its eyes along with everyone else's go wide seeing me disappear, I then reappear in front of the stay devils face with my palm drawn back with lightning sparking out of it.
"Raisō" (lightning claw)
I grip the stay devils head and I release a massive surge of lightning through its body, while I squeeze with all my strength. After a few seconds, it drops to its knees, and I stop my attack, I burst into static again and re appear beside Akeno.
"Well that was fun" i say with a very big grin on my face.
The stray devil collapsed on the ground, sparks still coming off it from my last attack.
"Don't worry Akeno and I aren't going to kill you" I grinned
"Yes that honour is reserved for our master"
We both stepped to the side as Rias stepped forward.
"Any last words?" she asks
"K-Kill me."
That's the only thing the stray devil says. 'oh how the mighty have fallen.'
"Then disappear." A cruel reply. Rias's voice gave me the chills.
DON!
A gigantic black mass of demonic-power is shot out from Rias's palm. It's so big that it can cover all of the monster's body. The mass of demonic-power devours the monster's body. When the demonic-power disappears, so did the monster's body.
'Just like she said, it disappeared'
{The power of destruction, anything hit by it is reduced to nothingness}
'That's scary'
Confirming it was gone, Rias makes a sigh. "It's over. Good work everyone."
I give a grin before I'm hugged from behind.
"Ara ara, to think my little kohai has come so far after just one lesson with me, you must have been practicing on your own, to have gotten so good in such a short time"
She presses her bust into my back, I smile. "You have no idea"
She then leans in and whispers into my ear "to think you were a hidden sadist just like myself, oh the fun we could have" she then nibbles on my ear. I grin. Before I reach behind and grip her backside, getting her to moan.
"I look forward to it"
I turn to see Issei, looking wide eyed at my actions, and me getting dotted on my Akeno.
"Hey if they tease you it's only fair to tease back"
Rias is at the side with a smile on her face, 'something tells me she predicted this when she saw us having fun together' but then i seen her blush slightly,'what was that'
{Ah partner look to your left}
I look to my left to see a rather angry looking Koneko, 'oh shit'
She throws a punch at my gut, but I was prepared, her punch passes straight through me, along with the rest of her, she comes out the other side with her hair standing up on end. I couldn't help but giggle.
"What was that punch meant to be for?"
"…..perverted senpai"
I walk over and kneel down to her height.
"Could it be perhaps that the little kitten is jealous?"
I had dubbed her kitten after that "Nya" that came out of her this morning, she didn't seem to mind
She throws another punch at my face it passes through.
"I'll take that as a yes"
"Ara ara, don't worry Koneko I'm willing to share"
"…Senpai's lap is mine"
"Deal"
'Great now I'm being divided up like a piece of meat.
Isseis POV
'That lucky bastard, not only Akeno, but Koneko to, he's getting ahead of me with the ladies it's not fair, at this rate he'll have a harem before me'
Then I remembered the problem. The thing about position of Evil Pieces from earlier. Since I'm a servant of a Devil with peerage, then I should have a certain [Piece] too.
"Buchou, there is still a thing that you didn't tell us."
"What is it?"
Buchou responds with a smile.
"Mine and Kenta's Piece…more like, what is our roles are as a servants."
'To tell you the truth, I already predicted the worst case. More like I knew it is that. But I still have a naive hope. If Kenta is higher than me, I won't be shocked after that display he just put on, I never knew he had that kind of skill'
There are two [Pieces] left since, Akeno is a [Queen], Koneko is a [Rook], and Yumi is a [Knight].
The [Bishop] and…the [Pawn]. 'Please don't let me be the pawn.'
The crimson-hair beauty smiles at me and says it clearly.
"You are a [Pawn]. Issei, Kenta you are both Pawns."
'Well at least he's not higher than me, but does that mean I have the same strength as Kenta'
After that we all returned to club room and Buchou explained about how we can each get our own peerages once we're recognized as high class devils.
"I WILL BE HAREM KING!"
