A week had gone by like usual and Issei was walking to the ORC clubroom. He stepped into the main room and was met with the sight of Xenovia standing in the club room. Issei was on guard for a moment before he heard Rias speak. "Issei stand down, she's no longer an enemy, she is now the newest member of my peerage, she is my new knight.
Xenovia then summoned her devil wings and confirmed that she had indeed become a devil. "So why did you become a devil?" Issei asked the sword woman.
"I was excommunicated from the church after discovering that God was dead." Said Xenovia.
She then turned to Asia and bowed her head. "Also I'm really sorry for what I had said to you before." Said the blue haired girl.
"No no it's okay and we are comrades." Said Asia with a smile.
Xenovia smiled and held her hand together as she began a prayer. But she was not able to recite the words she had said so many times before as a splitting headache formed. Everyone in the room chuckled remembering how Asia had done the same thing before and still does occasionally. "You can take the girl out of the church but now the church is out of the girl." Said Isse who was met with a laugh.
The next day at the start of class Issei's teacher had an announcement. "Good morning class today we have a new transfer student." Said the teacher as Xenovia entered the classroom.
"Hello everyone my name is Xenovia Quarta. It's nice to meet you." She said, bowing her head slightly.
At her entrance the guys began to cheer having a new tomboyish beauty. Raynare, Asia and Issei just smiled seeing how their new friend had quickly gotten accustomed to the school. She quickly made friends with the girls of the class and caused Issei to get more glares when she walked up to him and Raynare during lunch to eat with them. Asia usually went to eat with her friends during lunch.
Meanwhile in the ORC clubroom Rias and Sona were in an argument. "Look Issei missed his last chance to go to the familiar forest because he was unconscious and I have a large group of new servants so he will be coming with me to get his familiar. Said Rias.
"That doesn't seem fair if you're taking a much larger group anyways. I'll let you take this month and I'll take Issei with me next month." Said Sona.
"Well I want to reward him for all his hard work in saving me from my engagement and taking down Kokabiel. I feel like I haven't done much for him lately so I want to be the one to take him to the forest." Sona didn't reply thinking of a way to make this worth her.
"Ok fine but your club has to help us clean the pool." Said Sona.
"Deal!" Said Rias in an instant.
"Ok everyone today we will be going to the familiar forest so you can each get a familiar." Said Rias.
"What's a Familiar?" Asked Issei
Rias summoned a bat, Akeno summoned a few tiny oni, Koneko summoned a small white cat and Kiba a brown sparrow. "These are familiars; they are animals and creature servants who help devils with any task they request."
Everyone quickly stood in the transportation circle and teleported into the familiar forest in the Underworld. Waiting for them was an old man in shorts and t-shirt and a backwards cap. "Welcome young devils I am the familiar master, what kind of familiar are you looking for?" Asked the old man.
"I want a cute one." said Asia.
"I'd like one that can hunt." Said Xenovia
"I think one that can fly." Said Raynare.
"I'd like summing fluffy." Said Mittelt.
"I'd like something like a fox." Said Kalawarner more specifically.
"And how about you dragon boy". Said the familiar master. "Or do you want to be someone familiar?" he joked.
All the girls raised their hands playing along with the joke asking for Issei now. "Hey guys I'm not gonna be a familiar." He cried comically.
"But actually I'd like something like a snake." Said Issei.
After a bit of searching Kalawarner found a black and white fox and contracted it. "That is a moonlight fox, a beautiful one at that" Spoke the Familiar master.
Mittelt found a rabbit nearby as it seemed that was what the fox was following. "And that young lady is a midnight rabbit." Said the old man to the blond girl.
After a bit of a walk to the Avion section of the forest Raynare noticed shadows but no figure of a bird in the sky. Looking up she was able to see the slight silowet of what looked like a raven. Spreading her black fallen angel wings she flew up and met the bird in the air. After what seemed like an air dance she landed with the bird beside her.
"That young lady Is a celestial raven, quite the rare catch." The old man said, impressed.
Around them they heard the rustling and steps of what sounded like multiple animals. Looking there left the noticed bright red eyes staring at them and forward walked a blue wolf. "There is a young wolf, a blazing timber wolf."
Xenovia smiled as she instantly loved the canine. She walked up to the creature and began her contract.
Lastly was Issei and Asia, they now were heading deeper towards the middle of the forest. "Up ahead is where the draconic familiar are." Said the familiar master.
But I warn you it is dangerous so I suggest staying as far as you can as we do not want to alert Tiamat the Chaos Karma Dragon. Said the man.
Issei was intrigued and looking around she noticed many small lizards, snakes, and what seemed like a little blue baby dragon. The small dragon fled over to the group and landed on Issei's head. "Wow that is quite odd, usually baby dragons are quite aggressive towards other males." Informed the man.
"Hey Issei, you should contract with the dragon." Said Raynare.
"Hmmm, I'm not sure I feel like there's something out there that I can find." He said as he grabbed the dragon from his head and put it down. But it quickly flew back on.
"I think it believes you to be its Mother." Said Ddraig from Issei arm.
"Or it could be your peaceful aura which is quite rare for a dragon." Again said the gauntlet.
Issei this time kept the small dragon there as they walked through the forest. They had arrived at the base of a small volcano and looked around. They noticed that the volcano seemed to have an unusual shake. "Man what a weird looking volcano." Said issei as he walked forward.
"Boy stop, that's the Infernal Boa." Said the Family master. "It is a quite dangerous and powerful snake who's body consists of fire."
The large snake began to uncoil and a large head stared at the group.
Issei gave a large smirk and began to March forward. "I want it" he said.
"Boy I suggest you find something smaller as to tame such a beast you need to over power it in a fight." Cautioned the hipster man.
Issei however fully understood and turned into a demonic dragon form giving him a similar glow to the snake.
Issei flew to the snake's head and dodged its strike. Flying to its side he gave the snake a massive kick that sent it into the air. Issei grabbed the tail and spun the snake, whoever it began to wrap around him. As it squeezed around him Issei began to laugh. He stretched his cries out and pushed the snake off of him with pure strength. This surprised the snake as nothing could handle its heat or crushing force. Issei flew up again and with his arms out yelled, "Balance Break." And his armor appeared.
"Now let's finish this, DRAGON SHOT" with that the snake had fallen back and bowed its head to Issei.
Issei contracted with the snake as Asia took the baby dragon. Whoever the dragon refused to get off Issei and it also made the youngest couple look like parents.
Arriving back to the clubroom everyone was waiting to begin cleaning the pool, after everyone saw the new familiars of the Gremory servants. And to say everyone was impressed was an understatement. No one expected Issei to have such a powerful familiar, though at the moment it was just a normal snake that sat on his shoulders.
