The big day was here. Kuoh Academy was opening its gates today, welcoming its new first-year students. Issei was at home, in the bathroom, getting himself ready. He was going to go dressed in the summer version of the uniform, with the usual black blazer of the uniform being short-sleeved, but being unchanged in rest regarding its white accents. However, as he saw it is in fact allowed, instead of a white shirt, he went with a red, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings and no ribbon to speak off. At rest, he had black pants and brown dress shoes.
He had been preparing for this day as soon as they could start. Mainly by studying, which did end up offering him a total of 6 more INT points and 2 WIS points. Other than that, He and Kuroka mainly took care of Ingvild. The poor girl was really weak, but Kuroka's healing managed to get her back on her feet. She has been resting, eating, and doing minor exercising to help recover her strength. Kuroka and Issei did accompany her for some shopping, buying her some clothes which, due to him being loaded, Issei paid for.
At rest, she has been practicing with her sacred gear a bit, trying to see what she can do. Ddraig told them all he knew about this particular gear, Nereid Kyrie, and it seems like Ingvild could control water. And she was quite good at it, which Solomon credits to her Leviathan lineage being proficient with water magic. They discovered her OTHER ability, which definitely made her gear a new Longinus, later, however.
It was a few days after they got her in when Issei heard Ingvild singing from her room. After that? He kinda just blacked out for a few seconds, waking up in Ingvild's room to a bit of a startled Ingvild. As it turns out, her gear could control dragons, and by extension, those with dragon-type gears through her singing. Ddraig stated that it was quite powerful too since she was able to control him with little to no mastery, but when she tried again, and Issei resisted her control, nothing happened.
She needed to get better at using her gear. But other than that, Ingvild was a very kind girl from what they discovered, and very observant too! She was smart, and she often helped him study during those two weeks, pointing out mistakes he'd made. She was a bit shy at first, but slowly, she opened up to them. He also scored 3 more RP points with her but did lose 2 of them when she asked what was his relationship with Kuroka and how they met.
Despite them not caring - and officially speaking, no longer being mother and son as they did take care of those papers while back in Mei - Ingvild was taken a bit by surprise that they knew one another for ten years. What got him to lose those points, however, was when Kuroka mentioned his dream of having a harem and how she'd not mind. Ingvild acted a bit off due to that, and he noticed how he lost his points. Her message also changed.
Ingvild Leviathan
27/100
She still has a crush on you, no worries. She is just a bit jealous of the fact she won't be the only one, but she will come around. Maybe. Depends on you.
Despite his love/hate relationship with the system, he had to admit the 'love' part of it came when it gave him useful information like this.
She has been avoiding him in the last couple of days, but she won't be doing it anymore. She was coming with him to Kuoh Academy, enrolling in under a fake name. Officially, she was Ingvild Hyoudou, his half-sister. Kuroka actually went out of her way to call up some of the shady individuals she still knew in the underworld, forging them some official documents. No human or human tech can tell the difference between those and the originals, so they were good.
Story? Issei's father simply fooled around before dying during the same year he conceived him, not knowing he got Ingvild's mother pregnant and she not saying a thing until she was on her death bed, revealing everything to Ingvild, and the two having lived in Norway until now. Then, Ingvild tracked HIM down, finding out their common father was dead, and changed her name to Hyoudou in the process. Messy, but believable.
Now, they only had to go to Kuoh Academy. Coming out of the bathroom, Issei went downstairs, where Ingvild was waiting for him. She was dressed in the female uniform of the Academy, which she didn't alter much aside from some high-knee socks that were purple in color. The girl's uniform consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents. Granted, they did need to alter it once home, because holy shit, her chest was not able to fit in at all!
"Sorry for the wait, Ingvild." Issei said, meeting her at the door with Kuroka. "Just finishing up."
"It's alright, Issei. I am honestly a bit nervous, I haven't prepared as much as you had." She said, also referring to his questing. They did reveal to her the secret of the system since they will be living in the same house, which included the Draconic Pieces. He was not going to force her to join his peerage, however, as he knew that decision should be hers alone to make. "I hope I at least get a passing grade. You guys did say the acceptance rate is pretty low."
"Well, there are a lot of applications for it." Issei said. He only found out later how much prestige the place had, being the best University in its own corner of Japan. They apparently received a few thousand applications every year, but out of all of them, based on either their High School grades or, in his and Ingvild's case, their grade on the written entrance exam, only 200 will make it in and become first years. And they had competition. Those who went to High School had it easier, seeing as they just submitted their final grades from there to possibly get in, but those like Issei and Ingvild need to put in ten times the effort.
"Oh, please, you two will do just fine!" Solomon said, offering some reassurance. "You just need to trust yourself, Ingvild. You are a smart, beautiful girl, and you have an observant eye as well! I am certain you will pass with no problem!"
Ingvild smiled. "Thank you, Solomon! It means a lot coming from the wisest man to walk the earth."
"Oh please, I am sure someone with more wisdom came before me at some point." Solomon replied, trying to act more humble. Ever since Ingvild got to know Solomon better and vice versa, the two seemed to get along better. Apparently, at first, Solomon was under the impression she was somewhat like her ancestors, which he loathed.
"Still, this is quite exciting, and scary at the same time." Issei said. "This will be the first time I will interact with people my age in years. It's a new town - well, somewhat new. I wonder if I will meet anyone I used to know when I was younger there."
"Nya! Hopefully! It would be so nice to have some people over for dinner!" Kuroka said. "I am a bit sour that I cannot come with you, but I guess I am a wanted criminal and my presence would give you away instantly."
"Hopefully, I can maintain my cover long enough." He said. "Thanks to Shirone covering for me, however, I am not that worried. So, Ingvild, shall we?" He asked, extending his hand to her. Slowly, Ingvild took his hand, showing a small smile. They then went out the door, heading to the Academy with their bags in hand. The real challenge begins now.
"Alright, everyone! From this moment, you have exactly two hours to complete the exam, not a minute sooner. You are allowed to submit your papers when you want, but we urge you to make full use of the time offered and not rush in order to minimize mistakes and increase your chances." The teacher who was supervising them said, Issei and Ingvild were in the same room, with Ingvild sitting in front of him. When they arrived, he noticed some guys looking at her with the same eyes he once had - before he learned to control such looks. Thank you, Kuroka, for getting him used to the sight of boobs.
"We also stand to remind you that any attempt at cheating the exam will be met with a ban from our prestigious Academy, and a permanent stain on your file." The teacher continued. "If you are caught cheating, you will be kicked from the exam. Now, begin!"
The teacher said, and so, Issei turned around his sheet of paper to see what he was dealing with here. From the start, he was met with a notification from the system, making him gulp.
In order to pass this test, you need a minimum INT stat of 40.
Ok, it was not a load of bad news.
Minimum INT met! Current INT: 61. With your current intelligence, you have a 100% chance of passing, but not a 100% chance of getting a MAX score. The current chance for the max score is 90%.
He will take it. 90% didn't mean he was not going to get first, and if anything, he was going to spend his Stat Points to increase his INT stat. For now, however, he got to work. It was a simple test, the kind where you simply must select the right answer from multiple options, but he noticed that some had multiple answers. He also almost fell for a trap or two. Damn, those guys were not kidding. He noticed Ingvild struggling a bit with her exam paper, but he left her to it.
"Young man, what do you think you're doing?" That got his attention, letting him look to the side to see someone with a sheet of paper that was not from the exam. He was escorted out. They had tried to cheat, which was no good here, but now he saw that those individuals didn't lie when they say they will kick out anyone who tried to cheat. Issei kept focusing on his own exam sheet, occasionally glancing at the clock.
Time seemed to pass quickly as he went over his sheet, noticing they were already past the midpoint. He looked down at his sheet, noticing he was almost done. He was most satisfied with his answers as well, so he continued. The questions became increasingly harder as he went on, requiring him to take a bit of extra time to think them through, but said time was precious. He finished his sheet, looking around to see more than half of the room out. The only ones left were him, Ingvild, and a couple of other guys.
Ingvild sighed, leaning back on her chair. She finished as well. The Academy promised the results within an hour, so both Issei and Ingvild submitted their papers and then went outside.
"That was difficult…" Ingvild said as she and Issei stood in the hallway. Issei got them something to drink from a vending machine. "I didn't know some of these questions at all, so I mainly went with random solutions. Hopefully, I did them right."
"Let's hope we both got in." Issei said, trying to lighten the mood. "Ultimately, that is what counts the most."
Ingvild smiled a bit. "Thanks, Issei." She replied, taking a sip from her drink. "But I don't imagine you had any difficulties with you-know-who helping you."
"Actually, they refused to help me." Issei said, being truthful. Solomon and Ddraig didn't give him any help whatsoever during this. "Everything was all me."
"I see. Well, even then, I am sure you will at least be in the top ten!" She continued, making him smile a bit. Those who were watching them, including boys who were jealous, found the two a bit strange. Ingvild was foreign, so there was that, but Issei simply looked odd to them and he didn't blame them. Not a lot of other students decided to change their uniform up a bit, and even fewer had a 'sister' as hot as Ingvild.
Suddenly, multiple students heard their phones buzz, being the indicator they were waiting for. "Hey, the results are up!" One of them said, already checking the internet page where the results were displayed. Issei immediately got his phone out, since Ingvild didn't have one yet, and they went to check the results.
"Here! I got in! I am in the top 50 at 46!" Ingvild said, happy that she did well. "How much did you get, Issei?"
"Let me see." He said, scrolling up until he reached the top, but…What he found was pretty confusing. "Ummm. Ok, so I am first, that is good, but…Why is my name spelled in red ink?"
"Because that means you are under suspicion." Spooked by the sudden appearance, Issei and Ingvild turned to their side to see someone Issei hoped not to bump into. Sona Sitri. "My apologies for spooking you, but I am here for you, Issei Hyoudou."
"W-what for? You said I am under suspicion, right? Suspicion of?" Issei asked, trying to remain calm.
"Cheating." Sona said, plain and bluntly. She fixed her glasses. "You answered every question almost perfectly, earning a score of 99.65%. Your only mistake was a small typo in some of the written answers."
"Nice!" Issei said, happy to hear about his high grade. But his little outburst seemed to have irked Sona a bit as she fixed him a glare, making him sit back down again. He didn't need to screw up now, too much was on the line! "Anyway, miss, I assure you I did not cheat." He was trying to defuse the situation.
"That is to be seen. I am Souna Shitori, the President of the Student Council here. I was asked to offer a secondary opinion regarding your results, and as such, I ask you to follow me towards a room where you will be tested again." Sona Sitri, Issei didn't need to be reminded twice who she really was.
"What? But Issei didn't cheat!" Ingvild said, sticking up for him. Sona's gaze immediately locked onto her. Both Issei and Ingvild were masking their presences to remain hidden.
"Ingvild Hyoudou. Judging from your family names, are you two related?" Sona asked, to which Ingvild nodded. "I see. Well, either way, there is nothing you can do about it. But I assure you, we won't be holding you for long. Your little re-test will consist of five random questions taken from the test. If you are able to answer all of them correctly, then you have proved the legitimacy of your initial exam, and your score will be unchanged. Fail to correctly answer at least 3 of them, and your score will be removed, and you will be banned under the accusation of cheating."
Issei gulped. "Fine." he said, agreeing to things. "But I expect a small apology if I prove to not have cheated."
"Very well. Follow me, please." Sona said, leading Issei away. He looked back at Ingvild really quickly, offering her a reassuring smile before he went with Sona.
Issei arrived with Sona in a room where there were no teachers, only him, her, and that boy Saji. "Where are the teachers?" Issei asked, feeling somewhat unsafe being there.
"They are busy with preparations, hence why I was asked to do this." Sona said, then Saji handed her a sheet of paper. She gestured for Issei to stand down at one of the desks, and she put the paper before him. "Open it. You have 3 minutes to answer all the questions."
Issei nodded and opened the exam sheet, starting the timer, but he immediately noticed something. The questions were from the exam, yes, but they were the ones that had multiple options to answer. Said options were no more, instead, they expected him to write the full answer. And he only had 3 minutes…Fuck, what a trap! However, he decided not to call them out on it. He began to write, Sona and Saji both looking at him closely. Saji, especially, went around him and seemed to take a long look in Issei's ears, likely checking for something like a Bluetooth earpiece. His phone was on the desk, where Sona could see he was not touching it or using it in any way.
"Time's up." Sona said, Issei putting the pen down just in time and sighing a breath of relief. Sona took the sheet, looking it over, then back at him. She narrowed her eyes a bit, but not in malice, but interest. "You got all the questions correctly." She said, which was a stone off his chest. "Well, Mister Hyoudou, I guess this means we will be seeing each other in the hallways. In the name of the Academy, I formally apologize for suspecting you of cheating and also welcome you into our prestigious Academy. You may leave now."
"Alright. I just hope no one tried any funny business with Ingvild while I was away…" Issei said as he went out, leaving Saji and Sona behind.
"He had nothing on him." Saji said, offering his input. "We were with our eyes on him constantly, he used nothing! His exam is legit."
"I can see that now. Too legit." Sona said, suspicion washing over her. "He is clearly pretty intelligent, but did you notice his handedness?"
"Huh? I actually didn't until you brought it up, but I did notice how he seemed to favor his left." Saji said. "Why?"
"Well, left-handed people are particularly rare." Sona said, her suspicions growing, but she was not going to act upon them yet. "Regardless, we better go, Saji. We have quite a bit to do."
"Yes, Ma'am."
Later, after arriving home with the good news that they passed the exam, Issei and the girls decided to party a bit. Granted, he also collected the rewards from his quests, finally completing them.

Damn this system…At least it was an easy one. But for now, as their celebration died down, Ingvild, due to her drinking a bit of beer, went to her room to sleep. Issei and Kuroka didn't really touch the beer they brought, but as soon as Ingvild was gone, Kuroka made her move. She grabbed his head from behind and kissed him deeply. It was quite a surprise as well to Issei, seeing her act so bold.
She broke the kiss, looking at him with lust in her eyes. "Since you pulled through, Issei…Let's go upstairs. Your reward awaits you." She purred into his ear, going upstairs to their shared room. Issei needed not a second more to process the meaning of her words, and without wasting too much time, he rushed upstairs. They will clean tomorrow, for tonight, they are going to bask in the glory. And in love juice!
SMUT AHEAD! SKIP IF THIS AIN'T FOR YA! Seriously, skip, I am doing these as a warning for those who like more plot rather than smut. But hey, if you wanna see it, be my guest.
Arriving upstairs, Issei entered their room, eager for his reward. But when he got there, strangely, Kuroka was nowhere to be seen. He went in further, but then he felt her jump onto his back. "Surprised, my dragon?" She asked, and Issei replied with equal amounts of teasing.
"Not quite. I am more surprised you'd hide." He replied, then he turned around to look at her. His jaw nearly dropped when he saw Kuroka, seeing her dressed in an all black kimono that hung loosely on her body. Chances were she was not wearing underwear either, which was a situation that really got him going. "Damn, Kuroka, you look…"
"Beautiful?" She asked, pushing her breasts against his chest.
"And smoking hot." He replied, hearing her giggle at his compliment before she went forth and kissed him deeply, Issei returning her kiss in full. However, it was not long until they began using their tongues, letting them dance and explore each other's mouths as Issei backed down a bit, sitting down on their bed with Kuroka nestling herself in his lap and locking her legs around his hips.
His hands went to hold her tightly, but Kuroka's hands pressed themselves against his body to feel his muscle more. Even without looking, she was able to open his shirt, letting her touch his abdomen and enjoy the feeling of his muscles. And slowly, ever so slowly, she shook her kimono down, exposing her entire upper body to him, her breasts pressing against his chest.
They eventually broke the kiss, and no words were required as to what followed next. Well, on Issei's side, as Kuroka was quick to shush him. "Let yourself in my care, my dragon. At least for now." She told him, then she got off his lap, putting herself on her knees before him. Her hair was undone, glowing down her back with her kitty ears twitching ever so slightly and tails swinging from side to side. Using magic to hold her hair back a bit, to be sure, she began to undo his belt, then eagerly, she slid down his pants, leaving him in his underwear.
Issei further stripped, throwing away his top clothing and exposing his scarred upper torso. And eventually, Kuroka pulled down his strained underwear, releasing his cock to the air. She giggled seeing it, already hard and twitching. "Is this for me?" She asked, wrapping her fingers around it and moving her hand up and down to tease him. Issei didn't even need to reply as she went down on his dick, putting as much of it as possible in her mouth before starting to bob her head up and down.
"Damn! Kuroka, that feels-holy!" Issei said, taken by surprise by her skill. Did she practice when he was not around? She had to have practiced! From what he knew, and she confirmed, she was never with a man before him! The feeling of her tongue and the sight of her boobs was intoxicating - addicting even! You'd expect cat girls to have harsh tongues like cats, but that was not the case at all.
But it was only going to get better. Kuroka pulled his dick out of her mouth, using her hand to continue jacking it. "You want more, my dragon? Tell me! Tonight, I am all yours, here to fulfill all your needs!"
Hearing those words, Issei knew what she meant. "Use your breasts!" He demanded, and Kuroka giggled and smiled as she did as told, grabbing her chest and placing his dick between her mounts, using them to offer him a boobjob. She did also take the part that was sticking out back into her mouth, teasing it with her tongue and drooling as much as possible on it, even if it got on her cleavage.
She did this to please her man, for he earned it in full! And quite frankly, she could not hold herself back any longer! She was going to fuck him all night long, and she will make sure they both enjoy themselves plenty.
She kept going, purring into the service she was offering and listening to Issei breathe heavily. Not a moaner, but that was alright by her. She can do plenty of that for both of them. Eventually, Issei grabbed her by the head, and she read about that! When a man did that, that meant they were getting close. Knowing that she began putting in more effort, all the while her pussy was becoming more and more drenched in anticipation of HER reward.
Then, it happened. Issei pulled her head down on his shaft roughly, and she felt the taste of his seed enter her mouth as he shot it inside her mouth. She moaned at the feeling and had to admit the taste was not half bad. A bit sour and salty, but she can get used to it. Letting out a sigh, Issei let go of her head, allowing his dick to plop out of her mouth. "Shit…Sorry, I should have given you a warning, Kuroka, I was-" However, his words were interrupted when he heard her swallow, followed by the nekoshou opening her mouth to show him there was nothing left.
"No need to be worried~" She purred as she got up, reaching for the rope holding her kimono around her waist. "This kitty likes her dragon milk. But she wants more." She said, pulling the rope and letting her kimono fall on the ground, exposing herself fully to him. Issei widened his eyes seeing her wet pussy. "But I want it in this mouth!" She said, then she leaned at him, licking his neck, and whispering into his ear. "Please, Issei! Fuck me! I've been waiting for so long, I cannot wait any longer! Do me, make me yours! Take my virginity and with it get rid of yours!"
Issei suddenly threw her on the bed, hovering over her as Kuroka took in deep breaths, her chest heaving and rising with each breath. He was not going to kiss her now, knowing where her mouth had been, but he knew how to continue pleasing her. Besides, the walls were pretty thick and soundproofed, and Ingvild was sleeping from a couple of beers. She was a bit of a lightweight. "Please…" Kuroka begged more, her tails winging on the side. "Do me!"
"No need to tell me more!" Issei said as he aligned his dick with her entrance, Kuroka wrapping her arms around his back in anticipation. Then, slowly, he began to enter her. Issei's senses went into overdrive at that moment, as the feeling of her warm, wet tunnel enveloped him like a warm hug, welcoming him in. Kuroka moaned loudly as she felt him travel up inside of her, but eventually, the moment of judgment came as Issei hit a small barrier of some kind. Her hymen. Past this, there was no turning back. "Ready?"
"Give it to me strong." Kuroka said hungrily, then, in one move, Issei pushed in, and pleasure was temporarily replaced with a sharp pain that had her yelp and grab onto Issei tightly, her claws digging into his back. However, she noticed him stopping, likely considerate of her current position. That was sweet of him, waiting until the pain faded. "Move, Issei. You can move now." She said, and Issei listened to her, beginning to move inside her and earn the moans from her as well.
He started off slow, but with each thrust, with the sound of flesh hitting flesh, he began to thrust faster and faster inside Kuroka. He even went for her breasts, using one of his hands to grope her left breast, making her moan more out of sheer pleasure. Kuroka wrapped her legs around his hips, locking him in as her nails made bloody lines across his back, but Issei ignored the pain for the pleasure he and Kuroka found themselves in.
"Yes-fuck! Ise- I'll- I am- AHHHH!" Suddenly, Kuroka dug her nails deep, easily drawing blood. Issei slowed down to a halt as he felt her pussy clench down on him, and felt liquid coat his dick. She came. His first time, and he was able to make his woman cum from his dick on the first try! That gave him confidence, so as Kuroka was recovering from her orgasm he acted. "What-Wow!" he flipped her over, going into the doggy position. "Oh my, Issei, you are so-AH!" She didn't get to finish, however, as he suddenly went back inside her. "C-careful! I just c-came!"
He went in as much as he could. It was not lost to him that he could use his Boosted Gear to further enhance the experience, but he decided against it. This was THEIR first time, he won't ruin it using his sacred gear. He was going to use all his OWN knowledge he gathered from watching, reading, and even playing porn games! And one such piece of information regarded the tail. He grabbed Kuroka's tail by its base, which immediately made Kuroka shake from the surprise. He felt her clench down there too!
No way she came from him just grabbing her tail!
"I-Ise, m-my tail…It's sensitive." She just confirmed it. Knowing that he began to thrust in while holding her tail, making sure not to be too rough with it. Kuroka's moans were becoming mixed with her 'nya' sounds, creating a unique sound that resonated throughout the room. He doesn't know how long they have been fucking for, but he knew one thing for sure: he was getting close.
He was getting close, and in this situation, he didn't know if he could control himself. He couldn't. He kept pounding and pounding, until, eventually, as Kuroka's moans were growing louder, he pushed inside her one last time and then Kuroka stopped moaning for one split second. A split second in which her brain processes the information. Issei was cumming inside her. He was BREEDING her, shooting his warm, white seed deep into her womb and coating it. She was his now, forever, marked both inside and out. The warm feeling that was inside her sent her over the edge as well, her juices squirting out mixed with his, staining his pelvis, but they didn't care.
This was bliss.
Issei eventually pulled out, feeling the exhaustion from their session, and allowed Kuroka to rest. He looked at her, and her pussy, noticing the white substance slowly oozing out. At that moment, panic overtook him. "Shit, I came inside!"
Kuroka, however, turned around to look at him, a sly smile on her face. "You did." She reached back at her pussy, scooping some semen in her fingers and bringing it to her face. "Oh my, this is quite the quality." She licked her fingers, giving them a taste. "This is sure to get me pregnant if I didn't use magic on myself to prevent it before we began."
"Thank God…" Issei said with relief. "Not that I wouldn't want to one day have children, but right now it is way too early."
"I agree." Kuroka said, laying herself on the bed next to him. "But when the time comes, I hope you remember me for your first child." Issei smiled at her, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead.
"I won't." he said, then he yawned. "Man, sex takes it out of you quick…"
"Yeah…" Kuroka said, also yawning. "It's also pretty late. You also need to be up early, and you need to shower. Tomorrow will be such a busy day."
"But worth it." Issei said, wrapping his arm around Kuroka and bringing her closer to him. "Very worth it, seeing the reward of yesterday."
Kuroka giggled. "This is no longer a reward, Issei. Every night, if you want it, I will gladly open my legs for you."
"I will keep that in mind." He replied, then he noticed multiple notifications from the system. He will ignore them for now. Now, he was only going to go to sleep with his loved woman. But unaware of Issei, Kuroka noticed something while they fucked. Their door was slightly ajar, and she noticed one curious eye looking in.
They had a peeping tom.
Outside their door, Ingvild stood sitting on the floor, her pajamas in disarray. Her shirt was over her breasts, and her hand was in her pants, which had a clear damp spot on them. She didn't want to, but she stumbled upon Issei and Kuroka doing it, and watching them…Seeing Issei's manly dick and how Kuroka enjoyed it inside her got her all hot and bothered, making her need some relief of her own. After the two were done, she went back to her room, but she was not going to forget what she saw.
She only wanted to know more.
SMUT ENDED! From here on out it is SFW land, folks! Kinda.
The next day, Issei and Ingvild went to Kuoh for their first day, but Ingvild seemed a bit off. He still had yet to check his notifications from last night, as he currently wanted to get through the day. There was the opening ceremony, then the orientation, and so on. Today promised to be both boring and interesting at the same time. Arriving at Kuoh, he and Ingvild were met with that boy from yesterday, Saji, yet again.
"Hello, Mister Hyoudou." He said, addressing Issei.
"Please, just call me Issei." Issei said, not feeling like being called 'Mister' or anything.
"Oh, in that case, I guess you can call me Genshirou, or Gen for short." Saji said, trying to be friendly. "That is what people usually call me. With permission, or if they are good friends, that is."
"Well, in that case, you can call me Ise. This is my sister, Ingvild." Issei said, introducing Ingvild as well, who mostly went to hide behind him. "She is a bit shy."
"Y-yeah, no problem." Saji replied, gulping a bit as he saw Issei's 'sister'. He, like other guys, was feeling a bit drawn to her due to her chest. However, looking at Issei, Saji got a strange aura from him, so he didn't take the chances. "Anyway, I was sent by Souna to accompany you until you give the speech today."
"Oh right. So, where am I supposed to give it?" Issei asked.
"I will lead you to the auditorium. It is where we do all the announcements and events." Saji replied. "Please, follow me. You can bring your sister along if you want."
Issei and Ingvild followed Saji toward the auditorium, where a crowd had gathered. Issei had to admit, there were quite a bit of people there. He gulped, feeling nervous. "I have to hold the speech in front of everyone?" Issei asked, to which Gen replied.
"Yup. Those are all the students who passed the exam or got in with high enough grades. All of the first years, together with the teachers. Here at Kuoh Academy, every year, we let the top dogs freestyle their speech for a more natural feel. You know, doing away with mechanical speeches."
"I see…" He wished he knew that BEFORE! He only hoped he had what it takes, as this seemed to be a challenge for his CHA stat. And despite its doubled increases, he didn't feel that confident in it. Maybe he could pour 8 points into it to put it up at 50? He knows he always gets a new perk when his stats increase, and that seems like a milestone.
But before he could bring up his hud, he felt Ingvild squeeze his hand. "You can do it, Ise. Just go out there." She said, trying to encourage him. He let out a sigh, then he faced Genshirou again.
"Sorry, I am somewhat nervous." He said, being honest.
"Understandable. No one will blame you for stumbling with your words during the speech." Genshirou told him. "Maybe respect less, but that's life at this stage. Anyway, go forth and do your thing, chief. They are waiting. Also, don't be worried about your sister, I will keep an eye on her if you wish."
"Do something to her and I will break your arm." Issei said in a quick response, which was enough to make Gen to get defensive.
"Alright, boss!" he said, putting his arms up in surrender. "So…Good luck?"
Issei walked past Genshirou, going to the stage. Once he arrived at it, he saw Sona there, likely giving her own little speech to begin the year. "And now, I present you all with the new student who took the highest score on our exam: Issei Hyoudou!" Sona walked past him, leaving him on the stage.
Issei took his position in front of everyone, feeling nervous due to the attention. However, luckily for him, Solomon had his back. "Don't worry, Issei. Repeat after me, and try to add in your own bits to make it seem more natural."
Gulping, Issei began. "I have to say, I never imagined myself here." He began, which seemed to draw in the attention of the crowd. "I don't mean the Academy, I worked hard to be here, just like everyone else present. I meant being the first, the apparent best among the first years. But all in all, I think I just got lucky." Mutters began to be heard. "And if I am to live up to my name more, and be more honest, I am even nervous to be speaking with all of you right here and now, and as I sit here, I find myself at a loss as to what to say. Most of you might be waiting for a speech to encourage and bolden yourselves, to help you be more motivated for the four years that await you. But I won't pretend to be that optimistic."
At his words, the crowd seemed to get a bit rough, with some people giving him odd looks. "I will be honest! We all have secrets that eat away at us and drag us down. Personal issues. And more. Some of you carry them all the way here, and most want to hide them away. But if I am to deliver a message, that won't be a message about how everything is ok. It will be a message to help you understand that from this onward you are on your last stretch to adulthood. Once we graduate, we won't be treated as kids anymore, but as adults. And as adults, we will be expected to deal with those issues accordingly, with maturity. In those four years, we will all grow together, under the guidance of our teachers, but we won't grow until we make peace with ourselves."
The crowd looked at him closely, listening to him. Issei saw this, and a smile crept up on his face. "I look forward to the next four years as much as everyone else here, and I hope that we will all be here at the end of our fourth year. Who knows? Maybe I will give the speech again. Although, I'd rather not have to go through this stress again." In his words, with the tone he said it, the crowd presented a few chuckles and giggles. "So, to conclude, I wish you all good luck in the years to follow. I will see you all later, in the halls." He said, then Issei went off the stage, the crowd offering him applause. He also got notifications about his quest and likely level, so, he decided to excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Once there, he began to go through his notifications.

+2 RP with Ingvild Leviathan.
Huh? That was strange, looking at the time of the notification that happened during his- Oh…Oh shit. Did Ingvild peep on them? It felt strange to be the one peeped on rather than the one doing the peeping. And if she did, did she like it? How else is he to explain the RP points otherwise? He had to check her Relationship status quickly!
Ingvild Leviathan
29/100
She still has a crush on you, but after seeing you lay the cat, she is starting to get some unholy thoughts running in her head. Ironic, considering her nature.
"Hahahah!" Ddraig began to laugh as soon as they read that. "Oh, the irony! It's killing me!"
"Shit…This is a pickle now."
"Don't worry, Issei. If anything, this might play out in our favor. Well, yours. For now, keep going."

Well, that was pretty much that. Coming out of the bathroom, he washed his hands and then returned to where he left Ingvild at, finding her talking with some of the girls from there. However, once she saw him, she excused herself to go to him. "That was a wonderful speech, Ise!" She congratulated him.
"Thank you, Ingvild." He replied, then he looked past her, noticing the girls whispering and gossiping. He wished he had some skills to let him hear further, but perhaps this was for the best. Rumors start, but few believe them. "Shall we go to our classes? If I am not mistaken, we will be introduced to our teachers for the next four years. I am in 1-A."
"I am also in 1-A!" Ingvild added. "I hope it's a nice class."
"So far, the people around here have all been pretty nice, so I doubt there is anyone particularly problemat-" Suddenly, Issei's words cut themselves short as [Danger Sense] spiked up. He activated his [Aura Sense] after, sensing the presence of a Devil. Well, apart from Ingvild, obviously, and as he turned around, he came face to face with the one person who might recognize him.
Akeno Himejina.
"Oh my! Look who we got here if it is not the boy at the top of the chart!" She said, looking at Issei with a small smile. He used [Observe] on her, trying to check for any changes since the last time he did this, but he found nothing changed. "Hmm. I think the last time we met you were snooping around the old school building, correct?"
"Y-yes." Issei said with a small stutter. "Forgive me, but I don't know if I can recall your name." A small lie.
"That's alright. My name is Akeno Himejima." She then looked at Ingild, her smile straining a bit. "And who is this beautiful girl with you? Your girlfriend?"
Ingvild blushed deeply at that, but due to her shyness, she remained silent, letting Issei do the talking. "She's my half-sister, Ingvild." He replied, adding another point for his lying skill. "Also, my name is Issei Hyoudou. Nice to meet you, again."
Akeno let out a small laugh, likely at the small awkward air. "A pleasure as well. Say, Issei, are you still interested in joining the Occult Research Club?"
"Of course!" He replied, this time being truthful since he needed to get close enough to Rias to become her contracted magician. However, given the lie Shirone had to tell before, that might be a bit complicated. "When I get my chance, I will be sure to apply for it!"
"And what about your sister here?" Akeno asked, referring to Ingvild.
"I…If Issei joins, I might try for it too." She replied shyly.
"Marvelous! It is always a pleasure to welcome new members in." She said, trying to be as friendly as possible. However, within Issei, Solomon was not convinced of her acting. He saw through her easily. However, the knowledge of her being a hybrid still interested him. If she was a Devil now, meaning reincarnated by Rias, it meant she was a hybrid of human and fallen before. Very, VERY interesting. "I will be sure to notify you when Rias opens up the club to new members."
"Thanks. Now, however, I and Ingvild should be on our way to class. We will see you around, Akeno." Issei said as he and Ingvild took off, leaving Akeno behind. But when they turned the corner, Akeno's expression changed, then she walked back the way she came, rounding a corner. "Just like before, I didn't sense anything on him."
"I see…" Rias said, leaning on the wall. "I tried to also sense him, but I found nothing. This is unusual, as even the weakest human should present a signature of some kind, but he is either as Koneko claims to be, born under an unlucky star, or there is more. But on that note, his 'sister' doesn't seem as able to hide her presence."
"A sacred gear, yes." Akeno said. "I sensed it as well. What should we do, President?"
"Welcoming Issei and Ingvild into the Occult Research Club might provide us with the opportunity to recruit Ingvild, as there is a chance her gear is something useful. As for Issei…Something seems off about him, so I had done some digging."
"Digging?" Akeno asked, and Rias brought out an old paper.
"His parents died 10 years ago. He used to live here, in Kuoh, but then a fire robbed him of his home. He was the only survivor; they found him in the bathroom, having used the cold water from the shower to keep the fire away." Rias said. "From there, all I know is that he was taken to the city of Mei."
"Hmm. That is quite a distance away." Akeno said. "Yet he returned to Kuoh, correct?"
"He did, and although we cannot say when for sure, we do know that it was AFTER his return that our guest began causing trouble." Rias said, and her suspicious eye began to be cast even harder on Issei.
"Rias, you don't say he is possibly the Red Dragon, right? We would have sensed the power of a Longinus such as the Boosted Gear if that was the case." Akeno said, bringing up the point. "Besides, Koneko would have told us if…He had such a Gear…You are not doubting Koneko, are you?"
"Sorry to say, but I am." Rias said. "We both know her; she was never a very sociable person or willing to meet new people easily, yet she brings him up from nowhere. I would not exclude the fact she was able to open up to others, but lately, she has been growing more comfortable with her Nekomata side as well."
"Hmm. True, things are somewhat suspicious." Akeno added. "What are your orders then?"
"Against my better judgment, I will allow him into the club, but with that being said, we will try to keep our activities on the low. Until we can be certain he is the Red Dragon, or at least trustworthy enough, we won't reveal ourselves to him." Rias stated.
