Hello! First of all, Merry Christmas! Hope you guys are safe and enjoying your days! Now those of my readers that read my Oregairu fic, I am stuck on writer's block at the moment. So to at least post something before the year ends, my mind began forming some ideas, and eventually, this is the one I felt comfortable using. I really hope you guys like this!

For some more information, please check the AN at the end.

Without any further, let's get started.


I do not own High School DXD. It is the property of Ichiei Ishibumi.


The warm atmosphere and humid air brought a sense of relief and calm among the people. More individuals were outside at the present moment compared to a couple of weeks ago. It was already the month of June in the town of Kuoh. The entry of Summer was being internally celebrated by many. Whispers and murmurs of excitement and joy could be heard if one listened closely, especially within the recently turned Co-ed learning institution of Kuoh Academy. Many groups of friends, mostly females, could be seen happily chatting with each other. There were also some groups of boys, very few compared to the opposite gender, having a discussion. An example would be a trio of males, laying under the shade of a massive tree outside, which was near the old and abandoned school building.

"Hey… why did we enroll into this school again?" questioned the teen sitting in the middle, who had spiky brown hair and eyes. His bald companion to his left took the opportunity to give the answer.

"What do you mean why? Of course to woo all the girls and get a harem!" The declaration was made loudly and with vigor, which attracted some stares of disgust from the nearby females.

"Well said, Matsuda!" the last teenager among the trio shouted in agreement. He had a pair of eyeglasses and straight black hair.

"Tch, you guys are down astronomically. Although I can't disagree with some of your views as a man of culture myself," the student in the middle claimed.

"Hyoudou, Motohama and I are so proud that you are growing as a fellow pervert!" Matsuda, the bald teenager, put his arm around Hyoudou's neck, whose full name is Issei Hyoudou.

"By the way man, sorry about what happened in your soccer (football) game yesterday," the teen without any hair continued. This only managed to deepen the scowl on his face. Motohama, noticing this, decided to change the subject.

"Hey, Issei-Kun, Matsuda and I have the perfect plan to lift your mood!" Issei perked up at that sentence.

"What's up?" Matsuda and Motohama made eye contact after Issei's question and through that, they somehow managed to communicate with and comprehend each other. With a wave, the two gestured their sulking friend to follow and with nothing else to do, he did just that.


As the three maneuvered around the outside of the school building, they finally reached a spot where many female voices could be heard. Issei was confused while his two friends began giggling mischievously. It finally dawned on him when he noticed a particular detail on the wall.

'I-Is that…?' the brown-haired teen mentally asked himself.

"So… how do you like my surprise, my dear friend?" Motohama asked with a grin.

'I know it's not right but damnit! I can't resist! What should I do? Walk away or somewhat make this day better by looking at some naked cuties?' the young man contemplated in his head. When his mind was finally made up, his eyes narrowed, and his face hardened while he took some steps forward. He looked ahead just to see Matsuda and Motohama fighting over more space to peep on the female students. Just as Issei was about to warn them about the danger lurking around, Motohama fell on his bottom. Right on top of a small stick that was buried in the ground while the sharp top pointed upwards.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The shriek was definitely heard around the entire school and at that moment, Matsuda was smart enough to realize what was about to happen and began dragging his injured friend away.

"Hyoudou!" Matsuda whisper-shouted to his friend. Issei, who stood stupefied due to what happened to Motohama, finally realized the impending doom and began moving away. Only to trip on the same stick that injured his friend and fall on the ground face down. Matsuda realized there was no way to save his friend at this point and sent a prayer for him before abandoning the site along with Motohama.

"Huh, what's going on?" a pink-haired girl's voice was heard in the area along with the sounds of many footsteps behind her. Once the group noticed the tiny hole in the wall along with the fallen male student on the ground, fury took over their mind. It increased, even more, when they noticed who exactly the male was.

"You again?!" a brown-haired girl next to her companion with pink hair snarled as Issei looked up and had a terrified expression on his face.

"H-Hey, Murayama and Katase. Listen, I-I can explain," the teen chuckled nervously. The girls however were firm on their original stance and began punishing Issei, which meant beating him mercilessly with their shinais.


The beating went for a couple of minutes nonstop. No one approached the situation and Issei was now sitting with bruises and tiny cuts all around his body and face. The girls from what seemed like the Kendo club were all satisfied with their actions.

"Don't you have the least bit of shame? First, you cost the Boy's Soccer (Football) Team a playoff spot in the Summer championship with your selfish stupidity. Now you are peeping on us to indulge yourself? What is wrong with you?" Katase scolded the brown-haired teen. As soon as those words left her mouth, the entire aura around Issei seemingly changed.

"Shut up…" the male quietly said those words.

"Huh?" Murayama was confused as to what Issei was trying to imply.

"Shut the fuck up if you only know rumors and not what actually happened!" The girls took a step back at Issei's outburst. At this point, there were other students crowding around the Kendo Club girls and the member of the 'Perverted Trio'.

"Hmph! The truth is that you were playing badly and couldn't keep your frustrations from taking a cheap shot at the other team's player. You're just a sore loser. That's all there is to it," Katase continued in a smug tone. Only Murayama was feeling somewhat bad for the male's situation.

What the girls didn't expect however was Issei instantly standing up on his two feet and grabbing a spare shinai that was on the ground near him. Without wasting any more time, he threw it like a spear at Katase with incredible speed. Only years of practice helped the pink-haired girl partially dodge the attack. Katase held onto the middle of her arm in pain, right where the shinai hit her. The girls' shock turned into terror when the enraged male began stomping towards Katase.

The nearby males, realizing what was about to happen, immediately rushed to the scene and attempted to hold him back. Their attempt was futile as Issei threw away everyone grabbing onto him and continued on his way. Some of the girls from the Kendo club, excluding Murayama and Katase, chose to run away in fear while the furious teen picked up his space. Katase finally broke out of her stupor and decided to escape. She then realized that it was too late and Issei was too close for her to run away. So she shut her eyes and waited for him to do God knows what.

THUMP!

Everyone looked shocked and relieved as a blonde male tackled Issei and stopped him from causing the girls any more harm. With his bright blue eyes, the newcomer looked at his fellow male student in concern. He ignored the swooning from the nearby females and focused on the current matter.

"Hyoudou-Kun! You need to calm down!" Yuuto Kiba, also known as the Prince of Kuoh, beseeched.

"Get out of my way you pretty boy bastard! I'm gonna give that bitch a piece of my mind!" Yuuto seemed to be physically stronger than Issei and was able to hold him down by himself without any issues.

"I understand your frustrations. I believe you. But you have to stop right now!" Kiba tried again with his words.

"Fuck off!" Kiba noticed with surprise that Issei's strength was almost about to take over his own despite the fact that he had some physical advantages. So before things turned any uglier, he sighed and mustered up as much strength as he could before punching the raging teen, effectively knocking him out.

"Kyaaaahhhhh~ The Prince took down the Beast!" a random girl from the crowd that formed yelled out. This was followed by many claps and declarations of love as Kiba picked up the knocked-out teen over his shoulder and headed towards the old school building. This action of his brought confusion among many since the infirmary was not located there. However, some girls in the Manga Club kept watching him with glee as many ideas for a new romance story ran around their heads.


"What do I do with him?" sighed a beautiful woman with neck-length black hair and a pair of glasses over her bright violet eyes. Sona Sitri, known as Souna Shitori around the campus, was a Second-Year student and also the President of the Student Council. Across from her sat her childhood friend and also the President of the Occult Research Club, the Second-Year student Rias Gremory. She is regarded as the most beautiful female in the school. Her crimson hair and blue eyes along with her body only solidified the consensus.

"Koneko, you said that the boy from the other team antagonized him first, correct?" Rias asked a girl of short stature who also wore the uniform of Kuoh's Middle School. Her name is Koneko Toujou. Koneko nodded at the girl's question.

"What did the other dude say to make him this mad even now?" an androgynous female with blue hair questioned. She had an intense look in her eyes as she kept staring at the unconscious and muddy teenager laid down on the couch before her.

"Something that involved cursing his mother out. At least that's what Koneko told us. Then Hyoudou-Kun chose to headbutt the boy and in the process break his nose," A female standing behind Rias spoke this time. Her long hair was dark and she also possessed violet eyes. Akeno Himejima was the assistant of Rias Gremory and considered the most beautiful after the crimson-haired girl according to the student body.

"This caused him to get a Red Card and left our team shorthanded and without their striker. This was why the boys from the team were especially angry towards him throughout the entire day," softly explained a female with reddish-brown hair.

"Were you at the game, Kusaka-san?" Kiba questioned.

"U-Um, yes. I like soccer (Football)," Kusaka replied.

"Does that fully explain the situation to you, Yura?" Sona asked the blue-haired girl.

"Yes, Kaichou," Yura confirmed.

"Umm… I still don't understand why Hyoudou-senpai attacked the girls like that," another student from the same school as Koneko asked. The short girl had styled her brown hair in a ponytail

"Good question, Nimura-san. I was there right before the words were exchanged. Katase-san from the Kendo Club further antagonized him. Before I could do anything, Kiba-Kun managed to stop Hyoudou-san, which led to where we are right now," a female teenager standing behind Sona answered the young girl. She also had glasses like Sona.

"I want to add that it was those two friends of Hyoudou-Kun that actually peeped on the Kendo Club. Some commotion happened and Hyoudou-Kun got caught in the middle of it and was accused of doing the deed by the girls," another girl with reddish-brown hair claimed.

"Umm, Meguri-senpai, you were here this whole time. So how did you know?," a confused Nimura asked the redhead.

"O-Oh. Well… I was passing by and would've done something but I really needed to use the restroom at that moment so I left quickly," Meguri replied with a slight blush.

"Hmm, Tsubaki, please bring Katase-san here once you ask about her condition. Nimura, I believe you should go home for now. I'll call you later at night," the Middle School student nodded at her order.

"See you later, Kaichou!" she yelled out before leaving.

"Koneko, you should do the same," Rias suggested to her junior.

"Alright. Please call me if needed," she quietly spoke before leaving.

"Ah, I guess I will take Hyoudou-Kun to the infirmary to not rouse any suspicions," Kiba suggested as he walked forward to the couch where the unconscious Issei was laying down.

"Wait," the blonde male stopped at the voice of the Student Council's President.

"We haven't altered his memories yet since the entire process would require us to do the same to many students of the school that witnessed the entire thing. Doing that is not possible until later at night. If he by any chance manages to wake up, there is a probability that he will fight you due to the fact that you knocked him out. So I think it's better if someone else takes him," Sona explained her reasoning.

"I'll do it!" Yura immediately offered, which didn't seem unusual since she liked to do physical tasks.

"Alright then. Please take him to the infirmary," Yura didn't waste any more time slinging Issei over her shoulder with ease and giddily began walking out of the room.

"Meguri, Kusaka, you guys are free to leave now. Come back around the scheduled time please," the two girls nodded towards Sona and bid their farewells before walking out as Tsubaki entered the Student Council's Office.

"Yuuto, please go ahead and console the traumatized girls from the Kendo Club if needed," Kiba gave a nervous smile at Rias' order but nodded nonetheless and walked out. Now, there were only four individuals left in the room.

"Hmm, Akeno, you told me an interesting thing about Hyoudou-Kun sometime ago. Mind reiterating those things again?" Rias asked the girl behind. Akeno nodded and smiled as he cleared her voice.

"I've been to a couple of his games in the past to observe him as you ordered. What really sets him out from the rest of the team is his incredible physical abilities. Compared to other boys around his age, he is much faster, stronger, flexible, and athletic. He also tends to lose his temper very easily in the heat of the moment. His stamina is also amazing from what I've heard," Akeno shared with them.

"I can attest to Himejima-san's explanation. I've also noticed the same when I've gone to the games under Kaichou's orders of observation on Hyoudou-san," Tsubaki Shinra added.

"Plus if you remember Yuuto's testimony, he did say that he had to use a lot of his strength to knock out Hyoudou-Kun. Usually, that should not be the case as Yuuto is a reincarnated devil while Hyoudou is supposedly a normal human," the leader of the Occult Research Club spoke her mind.

"Hmm, the chance of Hyoudou-Kun possessing a Sacred Gear has slightly increased. Still, all we can do right now is keep him under our observation," Sona claimed while the other three in the room nodded. Before anyone else could share their thoughts, a knock was heard from the door.

"That must be Katase-san. We should take our leave right now. Stay well, Sona," Rias stood up from her seat.

"Same to you as well, Rias," Sona responded as the two women walked out of the room, surprising a disheveled Katase on their way.

"Now, Katase-san, would you mind answering some questions?" Sona asked the pink-haired girl as she gulped and nodded before entering.


"Ugh! My head..." a brown-haired teenager drew some stares from the public due to the state he was in. Many bruises and cuts were noticeable on his body and face as he walked out of the Karaage shop. His stomach was really craving for some chicken at the moment. However, the memory of the blonde bastard knocking him out soiled his already terrible mood even further. He would've hunted him down had it not been dark outside already and the fact that he already had over 10 missing calls from his mom. He already knew that he was in for some pain when he got home. So in order to help his chances, he bought one of his mom's favorites.

He was out alone in the infirmary for some time. At least that's what he realized until he noticed a blue-haired feminine dude sitting on the empty nurse's chair. He had mistaken the guy for a flat-chested girl at first since Issei only looked at the person's body. Later on, he took a look at the person's face and he realized how tall they were. With that, Issei reached the conclusion that it was a feminine boy who liked to crossdress. Plus his bishounen face didn't help either. Before he could say anything, the guy rushed out of the infirmary. The fact that he mistook a guy for a girl and checked him out still brought nothing but shame to him.

'Mom is gonna chew my ear out no matter what explanation I give her,' he mentally surmised while walking through an alley to reach the street his house was located in.

Issei's instincts suddenly told him to look to his right and he did exactly that. Once he did, he automatically took two steps back due to the pair of intense and golden eyes staring him down. He however calmed down after a moment and realized that it was just a black cat. The teen also stared back at the cat and watched as the cat licked its paw and began rubbing it behind its ear.

'Cute,' thought the high schooler as he slowly and carefully approached the feline. The cat surprisingly didn't run away and kept staring at him. He then slowly crouched down and took out a piece of Karaage to hand it out to the cat. The cat stared at the cooked piece of chicken for a moment before taking a bite off of it. It didn't take long for the cat to finish the piece. Issei then took out another one and the cat finished it even faster. After gulping down the two pieces, the rubbed its head against the back of Issei's palm.

"Aww. You're so cute. Sadly, I have to rush home or mom will get even angrier than she already is. Hope I get to see you soon again," Issei patted the cat's head one more time before finally heading for home without any stoppage. He however failed to notice the cat following him all the way to his house.


Hope you guys liked the beginning!

So if you are wondering, Issei will still be a pervert but unlike canon, his childhood after Irina left went differently in this AU so his perversion won't show up all the time. Think of him as a closet pervert.

Koneko was able to hear conversations during the Soccer (Football) match since she has enhanced hearing.

This is not a sports fic so I won't really focus on that in this story.

I still don't know if Issei will stay human or join Rias' peerage. And by the way, he is 16/ a First-Year student here unlike at the start of canon, where he is a year older.

Just to clarify, it is stated in the DXD Wiki that Tsubasa Yura likes men who like to get muddy, hence why she seemed so interested in Issei.

I don't know when I will be able to upload the next chapter but it'll be coming!

That's all for now. Stay safe and healthy! Enjoy this wonderful day and Merry Christmas yet again! Catch ya later!
