Vercingetorix Rex: Thanks for the clarification and clearing up any misunderstanding, but I would have preferred to see Tsukune keep his harem, would be more logic to fix harem issue imo. well your story.
ThermalsniperN7: Glad we were able to clear things up. As for the harem issue… Meh. We've basically outgrown harem stuff at this point.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah.
Knightmare Lord: Will Mizore get a guy too?
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah she will.
Dragon Emperor0: No cutie left behind!
-Yokai Academy-
Tsukune was writing a letter to his parents in his dorm room not long after finding out that he placed 100th in the school overall.
This was a school with at least 300 students so he was at least glad to be in the top 100. However Yokai Academy apparently had their exams earlier in the year so he wasn't exactly prepared.
Jashin constantly yapping in his head about his answers didn't really help either—nor did the fact that Tamiko apparently placed in the top 20, specifically 18th place—and that the exam happened on his 18th birthday.
That was some crazy luck if there ever was.
"I really gotta brush up on what I know…" The Asura boy muttered.
"No shit, genius!" The King snarked.
"Shut up, Jashin!" The boy snapped mentally, before a moan tore his attention away from his letter and over to Moka, who was waking up after the two of them had spent the night making love after Tsukune spent the first hour or two with Mika or Inner Moka.
"Aaah~! Good morning, Tsukune." The pink haired vampire yawned with a stretch, her beautiful body glistening in the morning sunlight.
"Good morning, Moka." Tsukune smiled as he left his desk and kissed her good morning. "Did you enjoy yourself last night?" He asked as he held her close, kissing her neck.
"More than I thought I would." The pink haired vampire beamed in reply, moaning at the kisses. "Mmm, you did pretty well on the exam. 100th place out of a hundred is pretty decent." She mused.
"You got thirteenth, Moka. That's hardly a compliment in that context." The Asura told her, but his actions made it clear that he was far from offended.
"Ah~! Th-Then, maybe we could study together next time?" She offered with a gasp as he went for her collarbone.
"I'll take you up on that… And hope Jashin doesn't be a nuisance…" The boy replied, muttering that last part. Then he slowly fell back onto his futon with his lover.
"Oh, Tsukune~!" Moka moaned in bliss as the boards of their rooms began to creak.

Meanwhile, Tamiko Toga was currently laying on his own futon, but underneath the covers with him, was his now pregnant lover Shizuka Nekonome—the two facts being very much on the downlow to avoid scandal—but luckily, given that Tamiko was Eighteen by the time Shizuka was actually revealed to be pregnant, that fact would not be as scandalous in comparison to the others.
Even so, he held no regrets, and if anyone tried to harm his children… Well, let's just say their eyes would be missing a moment later.
"Mmmm, I can feel our litter growing." Shizuka moaned as Tamiko held her, caressing her belly with a smile.
"And we'll make sure the world is ready for them." The cat boy purred into her ear.
Shizuka purred back as she kissed him while he held her close, their tail intertwining in a show of affection before the two mates.

Meanwhile, in another part of the school, Kurumu Kurono was currently in her bedroom after taking a morning shower, drying herself off—when she felt a draft rush into her room from her bedroom window.
"Huh? I didn't leave my window open." The blunette blinked in confusion.
"That's because I let myself in." A voice said behind her, causing her to turn around and see a boy her age standing in her room—it was Asriel, the incubus son of Akurama Jashin's second wife Lilith.
"Whoa! Where'd you come from?!" She yelped in surprise, blushing since she wasn't wearing anything except a towel.
"I just broke from a sealed prison—and came straight to you because of the rune on your neck." Asriel told her as he brushed her hair aside, revealing the mark. "It seems my father marked you specifically for me." He purred.
"Wait… You're the one I'm expecting?" The girl blinked in surprise before she smirked. "Well, you certainly seem like a real charmer." She commented.
"Name's Asriel Fullbringer, the Incubus, I'm the second son of Akurama Jashin." The demon stated, his eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger as he looked the succubus over. "And I must say, I certainly wasn't expecting to be paired with such a fine little succubus like yourself." He purred, cupping Kurumu's chin.
"I was told to expect an incubus, but I wasn't ready for you to be so handsome." Kurumu purred, letting her towel drop.
"Well then, why don't I give my pretty little lover plenty of affection like she deserves?" The incubus purred as he kissed her before his clothes disappeared in a puff of smoke—and he got Kurumu on the bed.
Needless to say, the succubus was forever grateful that her dorm was soundproof…
(Timeskip)
It was the following day and Tsukune was walking to class with Moka, like usual, when they noticed three things that caught their attention—two surprising and one deeply alarming.
The first was that when they passed by their homeroom teacher's balcony, she was talking with Tamiko. They couldn't quite hear what they were talking about clearly.
The second was that Kurumu was being doted on by a new face. Jashin informed Tsukune that it was one of his sons, which made the boy make a mental note to make friends with him.
The third, more demanding thing: There was a little girl a few years younger than them getting harassed by three morons.
"Oho ho… Fuck no!" He growled, storming up to the scene.
Quickly, he grabbed the leader by the face and slammed him against the outside wall of the school, causing it to crack.
"I don't know who you shits think you are, but nothing excuses harassing a little girl! Now piss off like good little bitches!" He barked, throwing the leader to the ground.
He then proceeded to elbow a second guy in the stomach and then grab the third guy by the leg—and then batted them clear across the courtyard with said guy. He was effectively hitting a motherfucker with another motherfucker.
"That'll make 'em stay down." The boy huffed before returning to Moka, who was making sure the girl they saved was okay. "How're things here?" He asked.
"This girl seems okay, no injuries, luckily." Moka told him.
"Posers. If I had to guess, they're C-Class monsters. Mid tier monsters." Tsukune scoffed, popping his hand. "No match for a Z-Class like me." He added with a huff.
"Or me, but I digress." Moka shrugged.
"Get over yourselves, whee!" The same bat from before deadpanned before flying away.
Moka seemed to ignore the radar guided vermin before returning her gaze to who she was assessing. "What were those three harassing you over?" She questioned.
"Those three are always looking to harass me because I'm a witch, so they became sticklers about the rules to have an excuse." The girl replied.
"That's something I never really got." Akurama chimed in. "One of my wives was a witch, and I never understood the relevance of the discrimination against them." He added, and sounded genuinely confused as he said it.
"From what I can gather, it's a strength based thing on top of them being basically humans." Tsukune noted.
"Again. That doesn't make sense, because I value strength more than most traits, and my witch wife Agnes—may she rest in peace, that sensual little minx—was by far one of the only women monster or otherwise that could make me regret picking a fight with her." The monster king stated.
"Marrying her was a big brain move, my guy." The Asura boy acknowledged. If a woman can kick your ass, then marrying her was the way to go if you had chemistry with them.
"Her prowess with magic, the combative arts and carnal relations could be summed up in one word: Unparalleled in her day. Hell, she along with Lilith, Ryuko and Akasha were the best out of all my wives in bed—all for different reasons. Her claim to the title was that she was the most well rounded of the three… in assets and technique." The Asura man chuckled fondly at the memory of his beloved seventh wife.
"She sounds like she was one hell of a woman." Tsukune chuckled mentally.
"Uh, are you okay?" The little witch asked in confusion, snapping her fingers in his face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, I was just thinking." The teen replied. "Did you and Agnes have a kid at all?" He questioned.
"Seraph. He's my second youngest and currently in need of resurrection. Why?" Jashin nodded.
"Because I think we just found his significant other." Tsukune replied, and Jashin immediately caught on.
"You are absolutely right." He agreed. "The fact this witch is already here despite being so young is very promising." He added.
"Say, Yukari." Tsukune said, getting the girl's attention. "Slightly unrelated subject, but are you familiar with the First Monster Emperor, Akurama Jashin?" He questioned.
"Yeah. I actually did a whole essay on him once. Why?" The witch asked, tilting her head curiously.
"I used to be in possession of one of his fingers, until a fight against Saizo Komiya forced me to swallow it in order to unlock my monster form." The Asura explained.
"Tsukune was a late bloomer." Moka elaborated.
"I'm wondering if you might know where I could try looking for the remaining nineteen fingers." The boy stated.
"Well, odds are that they're in the possession of other high level monsters, so you'll have to fight them in order to get them." Yukari explained thoughtfully. "Given that you're an Asura, that should be a cakewalk." She added with a shrug.
"And a pain in the ass." The boy groaned, seemingly despondent at that.
(Later)
"Wait, you did what to Miss Nekonome?!" Tsukune questioned as he sat on the school balcony with Tamiko after classes were over, him having a canned coffee and the cat Yokai having milk.
"I knocked her up." Tamiko admitted in reply. "I'm eighteen now, so it's not gonna matter." He added.
"Being a dad at eighteen is no reason to be smug, ya cheeky Nekomata!" The Asura snapped.
"I'm a Bakeneko, dude, my grandmother is a Nekomata." The boy retorted.
"Still!" Tsukune grunted. "This could be disastrous!" He added.
Tamiko only took another sip of his milk instead of immediately responding.
"Don't worry about it, alright? I got this." The cat Yokai grinned, his tail and ears wiggling while he hummed to himself.
'I really hope something stupid doesn't happen…' Tsukune groaned mentally.
(Timeskip)
Tsukune was training again like he usually did in his free time, but as he proceeded to pulverize a boulder into fragments—he heard the sound of someone being dragged away.
"Hm?" He hummed as he followed the noise from the trees, and to his anger, the three dipshits from before were dragging a struggling Yukari along. "Oh, they must be gluttons for punishment!" He hissed.
The three dragged Yukari to a river and revealed that they were Lizard Men, and it would seem that they had every intention of eating her alive.
However, before they could do anything, Tsukune—now in his four armed demon form—socked one of them in the face and sent him crashing to the ground.
"I fucking warned you, you little cockbites!" He yelled angrily, his arms flexing in response to his anger. "Now I'm going to turn all of you into leather accessories!" He boomed.
"Who the hell're you?! Why are you defending this worthless witch?" Their leader hissed.
"I'm the same guy that thrashed you fuck ups around earlier!" Tsukune snapped. "And witches aren't worthless! Akurama Jashin had one as one of his wives, so he'd know!" He added.
"Tch, that senile old coot probably didn't know a good woman if one fell on top of him." One of the lizards scoffed.
"Oh hell fucking no! Aono, let me loose so I can give these runts a piece of my mind, along with my fists!" Jashin barked, furiously indignant. "No one insults one of my wives and gets away with it! Especially not some snot nosed overgrown tote bags!" He added.
"You got it." Tsukune acknowledged as he gave the monster king control. One of the lessons his late grandfather imparted onto him: Never get in the way of a man who seeks the blood of whoever insults his wife. It just leads to disaster.
In only a moment, Jashin was in control of Tsukune's body, his trademark tattoos appearing all over his body along with his extra eyes opening.
"So, you little shits think you can live after insulting my Agnes, do you?" The Asura growled as he stood menacingly in front of the three.
"That's just a voice cha–" The leader started to say before…
BAM!
He was nailed in the gut, causing him to keel over since the force felt like a magic enhanced cannonball shot.
"Wrong answer, idiot!" Jashin snarled. "I'm going to annihilate all fucking three of you." He growled, cracking his knuckles.
"What's going on here?" Kurumu questioned as she landed with Asriel.
"Clearly dad's pissed." Her lover noted, recognizing Jashin in Tsukune's body on the spot. "So, what happened, pops?" He questioned.
"Short version, Asriel: These three insulted your stepmother Agnes, and I'm gonna make them bleed for it!" Jashin snarled in reply.
"... Oh, well, have at 'em." The incubus shrugged after a beat passed. He wasn't about to stop this.
"Yeah. Go nuts." Kurumu added her two cents.
"With pleasure." The Monster King growled as he made a chopping motion with one of his hands. "Dismantle." He intoned.
Instantly, the three lizardmen had their arms, legs and tails cut off, causing them to scream in agony. Jashin, however, seemed disappointed.
"I was hoping to only slice you into three." The asura hummed with a sigh. "But it turns out you're weaker than I thought." He sighed as he turned around and walked towards Yukari, who he picked up while the lizard men burst into flames.
The king of monsters placed his thumb on the girl's forehead, causing a rune similar to her wand to mark her.
"Make sure she gets home, Asriel." He stated.
"Got it." The incubus nodded in reply before he took off, Kurumu following suit.
After they were gone, he handed control back over to Tsukune.
"Wow, those guys were total wimps." He remarked as he looked at the burning remains of the lizardmen. He saw the one sided beatdown while Jashin was in control, and was honestly disappointed by how much of a slaughter it ended up being. "… I need something to make me feel better." He sighed as he headed back to school.

Meanwhile, in a small grave in the backyard of a shabby old shack in the middle of a sunflower grove—the bones of a young boy burst from the ground and slowly regained what they had in life.
This revealed a small silver haired boy with yellow eyes and a complexion similar to Yukari who seemed a similar age as well, he also was wearing warlock clothes.
After taking a moment to gather himself, he used a spell to blast his grave open.
"Ugh… How long was I out…?" He groaned as he sat up. "… Doesn't matter, I guess." He muttered as his ears rang, and wind seemed to be blowing in a direction it wanted him to go in.
Wondering what was going on, he decided to go in the specified direction.
He hoped he'd find someone nice.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile, back with Tsukune and Moka, the two were at long last able to unwind after the serious issues of the day—and the Asura boy decided to do so by undressing them both and cuddling with the adorable vampire under the covers of his futon.
"This entire academy is one giant recipe for chaos." Tsukune sighed as he held his lover.
"It's why we're hidden from the human world. If the sealed barrier is broken—it would be chaos." The girl told him.
"Sealed Barrier?" The boy questioned.
"It keeps everyone's monster energy from spilling out into the human world and revealing our presence. An object like my rosary maintains it." Moka replied.
"I see…" Tsukune nodded. "Does the existence of the barrier have anything to do with Jashin and why he was executed?" He questioned.
"A bit. After his execution, humanity got bold and the resulting hunts drove monsterkind into hiding." The pink haired vampire nodded in reply. "Several monster species were rendered either endangered or nearly extinct because of these hunts. Succubi, incubi and Angel Dragons are a few examples of these." She explained.
"Well… I may have wanted some brand of alone time, but I have half a mind to do something about that." The Asura boy hummed. "Especially given that context." He added.
"The monster races I just mentioned are in need of a good defender." The pinkette hummed. "Think you're up to the challenge?" She asked.
"Yeah." He nodded. "Come to think of it, are there any other members of the races you mentioned we haven't already met?" He asked.
"Besides Kurumu and Asriel, no I don't really know of any other Succubi or incubi here at school or elsewhere." Moka replied. "Though that could be because both were subjected to a Monster world purge by a clan of Kitsune purists. Particularly the Incubi." She added.
"Like we talking Kitsune as in Inari? Or Nokitsune?" The Asura questioned.
"The latter. Malevolent foxes, not the benevolent kind." She amended. "The women of these Purist clans also purged the Succubi and female angel dragons while the males attempted to purge the male angel dragons. On account of the race being by far the most benevolent of all monsters and neigh equals to both lust demons in bed." She explained.
"I'm putting those stagnant purists to the torch for this!" Jashin growled in displeasure. He already felt displeasure at the Succubi being endangered, but to hear that the Incubus and the Angel Dragons were in the same boat?
He had an Angel Dragon as one of his wives, so he was pissed the fuck off about this!
"Easy Akurama, you'll get your chance." Tsukune told him. "Is there anyone here related to those same fox demons?" He asked as the two slowly started to wind down.
"The head of the Public Safety Committee of the academy is, from what I've heard." Moka yawned in reply. "Why?" She wondered.
"Because Akurama is gonna show just how furious he is with them when the time comes." The Asura boy yawned in reply before the two of them fell asleep.
But as he slept, he couldn't help but wonder if he could use the safety committee to try and find the rest of the finger talismans…
Worth a shot, he supposed.
Dragon Emperor0: Hey guys. Sorry about the wait. We have a lineup of other stories to do and needed to figure out what time would work to get this one done and that unexpectedly took a bit. That aside, though, here's chapter 3. And if you guys are noticing that the ones that are just introducing the other girls are a bit short, don't worry, the more plot heavy ones will end up being longer. Trust me.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. We just wanna get things set up for the rest of the girls as we go. But in regards to what happened this time around, those Lizardmen really poked the sleeping demon, didn't they? Jashin didn't even bother hesitating to kill them… Well, that's what happens when you insult his taste in women along with the loves of his life.
Dragon Emperor0: That's the thing about a lot of evil emperors, you can throw insults at them or maybe their kids and family if they don't particularly care about them. But if they do care and you start insulting them? Dude, you'd be better off poking a polar bear.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. No surprise the three lizard idiots died in this context. Anyway, see you guys next time.
