AN: I had a bit of a brain bug running around my head, so I figured I'd put it on paper, text? Whichever way you want to view it. So here we go.
While the adults talked Asta was drug through the large manor by Rias an Akeno, Yuno, Leo, and Koneko followed easily enough all while chuckling at the way that the short male was being drug around. The rest of Rais's peerage followed behind everyone, still looking at the ash-haired boy with some shock and confusion as to the source of his power and just who he was to their King to begin with. It didn't take long for them to reach a larger bedroom where Rias quickly sat on the bed pulling Asta down beside her with Akeno taking the other side, while Yuno sat on the couch to the side, with Koneko quickly sitting beside him while pulling out a bag of her sweets and popping one into her mouth to begin eating. While this was going on Leo and the rest of Rias' peerage took seats around the rest of the room.
"So, um who are you three?" Issei asked as he looked at the group, somewhat annoyed by the fact that Rias and Akeno were sitting so close to the ash haired boy. Said boy was the first to stand up, breaking away from Rias and Akeno's grip to point his thumb at his chest, with a large smile.
"My name's Asta, I'm from Hage village, and I'm going to be the Wizard King." He proclaimed loudly and proudly, while poking his thumb against his chest. Only for the Redhead to quickly stand up while laughing.
"Wrong my rival, I Leo Vermillion will be the next wizard King." He proclaimed smiling at Asta who looked about ready to argue with him, only for them both to pause as a small chuckle was heard from the couch.
"You're both wrong, my Yuno will be the next wizard king." Came a small female voice, all eyes easily finding the small green flying woman who was currently floating next to the black-haired boy, obviously the Yuno that she was referring to. Yuno was sitting beside Koneko both currently eating the rice snacks that Koneko tended to carry with her. It was clear that both Asta and Leo were about to start arguing with the fairy, only for Rias to once more yank Asta down, leaving Leo standing by himself. The redhead paused for a moment as he looked around before quickly sitting down and looking at Rias.
"Now my turn, who are you? And the rest of them, also where are we?" Leo asked quickly while looking at Rias who was currently holding onto Asta's arm, with Akeno holding Asta's other arm. Rias smiled as she slowly let go of Asta's arm before standing still wearing the dress from her party.
"My name is Rias Gremory, those who surround us are my Peerage, on Asta's right is my queen Akeno." Rias stated while Akeno slowly stood up before bowing to Leo, only to quickly sit back down beside Asta and once more taking his arm. "Sitting beside Yuno is my Rook Koneko." She continued after giving Akeno a brief glare of jealousy, unlike Akeno, Koneko didn't stand up she simply nodded to Leo with her rice treat between her lips. Causing Leo to nod back to her, before noticing how close she sat to Yuno, gaining a small smirk, before turning to look at the blond male who seemed to be staring at Asta for some reason. "Kiba" Rias stated causing the blond to quickly look at her before nodding and looking at Leo.
"My name is Kiba, I'm Rias knight." He explained while bowing to the three, before looking back to Rias for a moment only to once more stare at Asta, more specifically the strange book that sat on his hip. It was clear the ash-haired boy wasn't paying a lot of attention to him right this moment, but he could tell that Rias was watching him somewhat, he'd have to talk to her about the boys strange swords that he couldn't recreate with his magic, as well as the bad feeling that his book gave him. Kiba nodded as he sat back down before Rias smiled once more and pointed to the blonde in the nun's outfit.
"This is one of my bishops her name is Asia." She stated with a smile as the nun bowed while giving the three boy's smiles. Although she couldn't help but to notice the way that Rias and Akeno clung to the ash-haired boy, giving her some comfort as she had been having to deal with a fair bit of jealousy from the way that Issei would look at the two. Her eyes couldn't help but to find the brown-haired boy with the now red arm sitting beside her, she couldn't help but to wonder what he might do next. Rias was about to introduce Issei to the two boy's he hadn't met before, but before she could he stood, pointing his now red gauntleted thumb at his chest.
"I'm Issei Hyoudou, and I'm going to be the Harem King." He proclaimed loudly and proudly causing both Yuno and Leo to raise their eyebrows, while Asta simply looked at him with a smile, still clueless about what a harem even was. But judging from the looks that Yuno and Leo were giving him they both knew exactly what he was referring to, Yuno having learned about it during his time in the Golden Dawn as many of the nobles would talk about the numerous women they planned to have, and the fact that the current monarch had his own small harem at this point. For Leo, the way he had gained the knowledge was rather similar but his was firsthand knowledge from his life as a member of a noble house. Judging from the fact that Asta was opening his mouth though Leo realized that he should probably say something before his admittedly dense rival said something foolish.
"As a proud member of the house of Vermillion I Leo am proud to have met you." He proclaimed managing to prevent Asta from saying something foolish as the muscular male had sat back down his arms being claimed by the two women once more, as Rias had sat back down. He watched as Rias and Akeno seemed to be silently arguing about who would cuddle with Asta more.
"Hey Rias, why didn't you tell me you were being forced to marry someone you didn't want to?" Asta asked, one of the rare times he managed to ask a question without yelling. But it was a question that all three of the Magic knights happened to be curious about. Rias paused as she slowly let go of his arm before folding her hands in her lap as she looked away, Akeno also let go of Asta's arm as she looked to her oldest friend.
"I didn't want to drag you into that, I thought I could handle it on my own." She admitted while pushing her thumbs together, in a mix of embarrassment and slight shame that she couldn't handle it by herself. The fact that the rest of her peerage ducked their heads in slight shame showed that they too were embarrassed by their loss to the older devil's peerage.
The next hour would be spent by Rias explaining her history to Asta and the boys, as well as telling her peerage about how she had met Asta and his friends. Akeno and the others would join in on occasion to explain things that Rias might have forgotten, before Asta and his friends would go on and tell them about the star festival which led to a rather interesting revelation.
"Wait Asta, for these stars that are gained do all the squads start from zero?" Asia asked, having been rather enthralled by the boy's tales, they sounded so like the old stories that she used to read. Asta paused as he looked at the blond with his usual smile, before scratching his cheek.
"Actually, when I joined the Black Bulls, we were at negative fifty." He proclaimed while chuckling, causing everyone to stare at him in surprise, how bad did you have to be to get negative stars, but as Asia looked at him it was clear her mind was still working through her thoughts.
"And I'm assuming you had to earn a star to get rid of a negative star, right?" She asked causing everyone to pause as Asta agreed with her statement, only to turn his head as he heard the cracker that Yuno had been holding his the ground, his eyes wide and his mouth somewhat hanging open in shock as he realized exactly what point Asia was trying to make, before he looked to Leo whose eyes were equally wide. Rias couldn't help but smile as she looked at her still clueless crush, Akeno doing much the same before turning to look at Rias both giggling at his clueless look. "Asta that means that technically if you had to earn fifty extra stars just to begin getting a count." She explained, causing him to pause and look at her in confusion for a moment as if trying to understand what she was getting at before his eyes widened as he jumped up from the couch pointing at Yuno as he did.
"That means we earned more then you guys." He proclaimed proudly causing Yuno to narrow his eyes slightly before he turned his head to the side, giving a little grunt as if he didn't care. But in truth he was rather annoyed that Asta had managed to beat him, even if only on a technicality but he wouldn't give the shorter boy the pleasure of a reaction.
Asta would continue telling them about what had happened to him leading up to when Akeno had come to inform him of Rias predicament. Unfortunately, his story had a particularly obvious reaction that Yuno and even Leo, who had only recently met the group, was able to predict as Rias and Koneko turned to look at Akeno glaring.
"I'm sorry Asta did you just say that Akeno picked you and Yuno up from a hot spring?" Rias asked while Koneko simply stared, both girls glaring at her, while Akeno simply grinned at them, the fact they were jealous bringing her some form of pleasure, before her cheeks went red as she remembered Asta in just his towel the water running down his muscular chest. The conversation would devolve before Asta could answer, leading to Rias, Akeno and Koneko gathering in a circle as the two began trying to drag information from Akeno about what Asta had looked like and Yuno, as well as trying to figure out when they could go to visit it themselves. While Issei's mind devolved into fantasizing about the girls in just towels, his mind also conjuring images of the girls he had seen when they went to visit Asta the last time. At the same point Kiba simply chuckled at the way they were acting, while Asia herself couldn't help but to cover her bright red cheeks in embarrassment as she started fantasizing about Issei in a hot spring.
This conversation would continue for a few hours, causing the Rias and her peerage to forget to ask Asta about his unique transformation. As the night wore on it was decided that the three knights would stay, leading to Rias and Akeno leading Asta into Rias old room, Koneko leading Yuno into a room that had been set aside for her and the others each taking a guest room, except for Asia who chose to room with Issei. Much as he usually did Asta would fall asleep shortly after his head hit the pillow, so he wouldn't see as Rias and Akeno stripped, having decided to take a more forceful step towards showing Asta their feelings, smiling to each other as they crawled into the bed naked beside him, smiling as they easily fell asleep mere seconds after their heads came to rest on his chest.
It would be nearly an hour later when Rias door would open again, this time revealing SirZechs, he couldn't help but to narrow his eyes for a moment, after all though he was grateful to Asta for saving his sister he wasn't exactly happy to see her wrapped around the muscular male. But that wasn't why he had come to this room, no that was the dirty book that sat on the bedside table. The instant his hand touched the books cover, SirZechs world shifted his eyes widening as he found himself floating in a blood red void.
"Well, what do we have here?"
