The next day, I woke up and was guided was guided to the main house my master Ravel said "we eat breakfast and dinner as a peerage if possible. If you and you will help with at least part of the meal if possible and you will get a box for lunch as well." I then asked, "could you help get Keiko or maybe Kuwabara into this school, I know both would like a chance to come here." The blond girl replied, "there are three conditions for that, first you have to be on your best behavior and the second is to preform the duties the Japanese Buddhist faction requires of you and the third will be revealed at a later date."

I then asked, "What's the deal with the Shinto faction and what do I have to do for them?" one of the blond girls spoke up and said "due to an error in your rival both Ravel and the Japanese Buddhist faction have claim to your soul, so I worked out a sub-lease deal in which they pay us for your service to the faction. In a few days, a representative from their faction will come to pick you up and start your work for them. as well they will provide training that, we can't offer until you synchronize with your devil magic fully."

Then Shirou spoke up and said, "Ravel will pick you up after school and introduce you to the other peerage in the occult research club and after that we will get into the next stage of your training." It was then, I walked to school with my new peerage and then the large man Halsin and I split off from the group as he said "I will introduce you to your homeroom teacher and you will be off on your own until the end of the day. Mistress Ravel doesn't expect you to the best student and just refrain from embarrassing her." With that, I was introduced to my class and then went through the day in peace. I did meet a few interesting girls, but I mostly kept to myself.

After meeting the girl and seeing her panties, I had to help the girl find her way but looking at the cross around her neck made me leery. I did notice she had the power to heal people as she helped a hurt kid and then I lead her to a church, but said church made me feel sick. As I knew the old church was strange. I knew my city had two churches but never saw this old church get usage, at least compared to the more staffed Kotomine church.

When I got to school and finished my classes Rias warned me of the church and to do my best to avoid going to either the old church or the Kotomine church, if possible, both were bad news and both would likely try to kill me, even if each was led by different factions of the church.

After that, there was a meeting between Rias' peerage and Ravel's peerage and with that, I learned that Halsin, Shirou, along with the blond triplets were all in the Ravel peerage then she introduced a middle school age boy and said "Yusuke Urameshi and he will be in my peerage as well as in a agreement with another faction, but we can meet up and talk later. We must deal with a few fallen as well as teach our new peerage member the ropes." With that she teleported the group away.

Rias then said "we are dealing with a similar situation for your training we have to hunt a stray devil now. it was then Rias explained how the devil peerage was divided into each chess piece, and each has powers based on each piece. It was then we met the stray devil that was a human above the waist and a monster below. Then Rias revealed each member of the club was a different piece and each had different powers. Kiba is a knight, and he has the power of speed. Koneko a rook and she has offense and defensive powers then finally Akeno is the queen, and she is an all-rounder with magic specialty. Then Rias said, "I am the king and I finish things off" as she killed the stray with a bolt of magic. after that she told me "You are my pawn, and you have the ability to promote but I will get into that later."

After that. I had to do some a job for Koneko and ended up meeting a nasty priest that referred to Kotomine sempai and killed the person that summoned me. I was nearly killed but the priest until the blond girl Asia saved me and have me the chance to fight back. Then at the last-minute Rias and the other peerage members came to save me and teleported me away before I could save Asia.

It was after I had the experience of being teleported to a strange empty field that I asked what I will have to do for the next part of my training and what have fallen. Will they beat the shit out of me?" Shirou then spoke up and said "Fallen are angels that went against the world of God and claimed half of the underworld for themselves. As for the beating, I won't be doing as much of that anymore, you won't even have to fight them. I am going to set a trap and lure some trap and get some come, your other peerage mates can show off what we can do."

With that, Shirou said "Ravel is the king and leader of the peerage, she is the runaway daughter of the noble Phenix family of devils." After that Shirou pulled a sword out nowhere and said "this is a copy of Watanabe no Tsuna's holy blade, and it will bait some fallen to come our way. I just must stick it in the ground and wait."

With that he did so and after a minute, five women with black bird wings descended on the field. Then Shirou told me "Watch and wait." After that Halsin pulled off his hood to reveal two pointy ears and then turned into a bear and then jumped up to attack an angel as Shirou said "Halsin is a very old elf that trained in druidic magic and can turn into a bear, he is also the only rook of our peerage and uses the piece abilities to enhance his defense and attack. With I saw the bear jump high, rip the angel from the air and begin to maul her to death.

After that an angel tried to attack Shirou, Ravel and I but Artoria cast magic dome as Shirou said "Artoria is a fairy of paradise as well as the bishop of our peerage and is a master of defense magic." then Mordred and Jan in turn attacked two more of the fallen as Shirou said "Mordred and Jan are twin demigods that are daughters of a human witch and are the knights of the peerage. Mordred is the daughter of hades and uses the sacred gear Caliburn- Clarent, then said girl swung her sword and a burst of lightning came out and killed an angel. then the eye patch girl attacked with a surfboard that changed forms as Shirou said, "that's the other knight Jan and her sacred gear is a weapon many legends called Prydwen, and it can change forms as she wishes to defeat her enemies and she is the daughter of the sea god Neptune." It was then the board turned into a thank that fired guns to kill two more angels."

After that Shirou came out and said "I am Ravel's queen piece and both a master of magic and armed combat I am many things but for now, my main power is to turn my magic into weapons and control them, with that Shirou magically pulled said magical sword out of the ground and changed it into an arrow, made bow out of magic and fired said arrow to kill the final angel. After that we returned home, and I helped Shirou cook dinner then after that we went to our rooms for bed.

After my battle, I needed to wait and heal before my next move and also asked Rias about Kotomine. But she told me, I don't know much about a priest called Kotomine besides the fact Shirou Emiya was his killer. I know my brother will need to talk to him sooner or later and that's about it. I would recommend talking to Shirou. On the Asia side, I couldn't do much besides ask Shirou for help. Rias mentioned they do a few higher-level jobs than we do, with their major specialties being legal help, mechanical repairs, animal care and gardening.

It was the next day that I met Asia again and discovered she was alive and safe. Then I took her out on a date. But during said date, she used her power to heal my injuries. Then she told me about her power and how she was a miracle healer, but when she healed a devil by mistake, she was expelled from the church and branded as a heretic. But after I accepted her as a friend, the same fallen angel that dealt me the fatal blow came to take her back. but revealed my sacred gear wasn't that special. But not enough as I took a spear of light through my gut, but thankfully Asia saved me. but the fallen forced Asia to leave with them to save my life.

It was the next day and I ended up meeting a blue haired girl that revealed she was a Shinigami from the Enma faction of the Japanese Buddhists and would assist me as a spirit detective. That help came in the form of giving me some tools to help find rogue Yokai and helping to catch them. I brought her to the dojo on the Emiya house so she could show me how to use said tools and give me the first bit of my training. The only skill I would have so far been the ability to fire my spirit energy from my finger as a weapon called a spirit gun. Then my first job was to root out and take out one causing trouble at my old school.

I soon did as she said and freed Kuwabara from an oni possessed then learned I have other work to do very soon. but once I got back to the house Ravel then asked me "did you learn anything on your first duty for the Enma faction?" I replied with "I was taught how to fire spirit power from my finger." She replied "that will have to do, we will need your help with a joint mission to get rid of a nest of fallen angels with the help of the Gremory peerage." we are going to meet up and prepare to attack soon.

It was after that, I returned to Rias, and she told me about my powers as a pawn and that of my sacred gear. Then she revealed to me "your power isn't as weak as just Twice Critical, if it was, I wouldn't have had to use eight pawn pieces. Your power is on the same level as Shirou Emiya if not stronger. You just need the same level of push that he had." after that Rias left and that gave me the chance to go after Asia and Kiba and Koneko decided to come with me. before leaving Koneko said to me, I called Emiya sempai while you were recovering, so Ravel's peerage will come to help us as soon as her new pawn is ready."

It was then we headed to the old church and soon met the priest that hurt me last time. With the help of Kiba, Koneko and my power of promotion we were able to overpower him. but then a boy in shining armor came and he said, "that's the one that killed Kotomine, and if he is I better get out." with that the priest used a device to escape in a flash. Then the man shed his armor to reveal Shirou Emiya and say, "your help has arrived." But as we made it into the lower chamber of the church the fallen killed Asia.

Seeing that and the fallen stealing Asia's power filled me with rage. So I went to her body to discover she was barely holding on and with that Shirou called to Artoria and said "share your power of Avalon with this girl to keep her alive until we get that sacred gear back." while Artoria was holding the girl, the fallen kept taunting me.

Shirou pov

I watched Issei cry over his fallen friend as the dragon within me said "I know its painful, but the boy needs this push to grow even stronger. He has the entire red dragon within him that your former partner had. his life hasn't reached the point he can fully use it yet." I saw Issei take more and more damage as his magic power was slowly surging. With that his devil wings grew out as he walked through the pain and his arm bracer evolved into a complete dragon claw and I said to the fallen, that's not twice critical "its boosted gear." Issei then punched the fallen out of the church and I then shoot a killing arrow sword at the fallen.

Then as she lied dying, Rias explained about Issei's sacred gear and that it is one of the thirteen Longinus scared gears. As I explained "my gear is an otherworldly version of the two dragon emperor gears but lacks the power to kill gods." After that Rias did the final blow to the fallen as she tried to plead her innocence.

After that Ravel came to join us and said, "you can revive Asia Rias, your peerage is lacking a proper bishop that you are free to use." With that Rias revived Asia as a devil. After that she healed our party members and had to get used to life as a devil.

Issei pov

The next day of school, I had to deal with Asia in my room and then physical training. I knew I wasn't up to specs. Rias ended up asking Ravel for her peerage work on routine and learned they spent early mornings working on in the dojo. Rias then said "sounds like a good plan for my peerage to use. but Issei needs catch up first."

After that, it was set up that Asia would live at my house. after that she transferred into my school and into my class. after that we got into working as devils and doing contracts and I asked Ravel's peerage what they did and Shirou said "each of us has different specializations: I am good at cooking and repairs, Mordred is good at legal and administrative work, Jan is good with horses and all things water. Artoria is a cook and Halsin is good with plants and animals and then Yusuke is being subleased to the Enma faction.

For the job I had to help with it was dealing with a large man in magical girl cosplay. But after that, I ended up taking a nap with Rias while she was naked. After that I did a pact job with Rias, and we ended up match making two weird people that had armors on. I started to figure out that I might have to deal with strange people like this and even got to play with Rias boobs.

Yusuke pov

It was after going with each peerage member on jobs to get pacts that I ended up getting contacted by the Shinigami Botan saying "we need your help in catching three yokai criminals that stolen items from king Enma's vault, and you only have a week to find and capture them.
