Chapter 77
"Incredible Senji-sama!" Inaho exclaimed.
"Impressive, but I still did better." Usui proudly boasts.
"It was so cool!" Ochaco exclaims, raising her arms in the air.
"It wasn't as powerful as last time, but I didn't know magic circuits could be used in this way..." Iida tries to see the ball in the distance.
"It lacks style." Yuga says.
I let out a satisfied sigh, straightening up and switching off my magic circuits, letting the layer of energy gradually dissipate, evaporating into thin air.
"What the hell, Senji?!" I turn to Bakugo, who charges towards me, creating explosions to go faster, he's completely furious. "How can you do this kind of thing in such a short time...?!"
I move into position, ready to intercept him, when weaves catch him around the waist and head, stopping him in his tracks.
"Gaah!" He gasps, his explosions suddenly stopping. "Guuuh... Damn it! These clothes . I can't... And my explosions...? What's going on...?"
"This is my 'special capture weapon'." Aizawa steps toward us, using his "sling" to grab Bakugo. "A weave made from an alloy of steel wires and carbon nanofibers! Raah! Don't make me use my power so much... My eyes are dry, damn it!"
"Wow! It's Eraser Head!" Inaho exclaims.
(...So that's why Inaho didn't recognize him right away. Eraser Head, an under-the-radar hero capable of stopping powers with a single glance, that's why his eyes turned red...)
"We're wasting time. Get ready for the next test." Aizawa releases Bakugo.
"Is everything all right? You had a nosebleed." Ochaco approaches me.
"Hm? Ah yes, I'm fine, just a slight backlash." I turn to her.
"Senji-sama..." Inaho approaches in turn, worried.
"..." I turn to Bakugo, who seems to be in the midst of an internal conflict, looking at the ground. "It's all right Inaho, it's all behind me. Even if it isn't for him, I won't hesitate to make him understand."
She nods, under Ochaco's confused look, then we head for the next test. I turn one last time, seeing Bakugo's hateful gaze on me.
The final tests went off without a hitch, and I was always able to maintain a good pace and take average marks. Which gives me confidence in the final scoreboard.
"It's time to present the results." Aizawa declares.
"I like that attitude you have." Ddraig tells me.
(What do you mean?)
"You exude confidence and self-worth. Like a true dragon. That's something I hoped to see someday."
(These are just physical exercises, with the use of my power. It's not the most complicated thing anyway.)
"The total is simply the sum of each of your scores." Explains Aizawa. "If I give all your scores, it will take a million years, so I'll reveal them all at once."
"*sigh* Can't you just take compliments when you get them?"
"Ah yes, that whole 'expulsion' thing, that was a lie." Aizawa announced suddenly.
Everyone's eyes widen, mouths agape, completely taken aback by what he's just said.
"It made perfect sense as a ruse to get the best out of your performance." He said with a satisfied smile.
"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" The whole class exclaims, except for me, who hides my surprise, and the girl next to me, Momo Yaoyorozu.
"Seriously, use your brain! Of course it was just a ruse!" She said, stunned by the absurdity of her class's reaction.

"And... well. Yeah. With that, it's over. Your course sheets have been dropped off in the classroom, go take a look. On that note, you're free to go." Aizawa turns and starts to leave. "And Senji. Go see the nurses, you never know with a nosebleed." He hands me a piece of paper.
"Senji Emiya?" I turn toward the voice to see Momo close to me.
She's a tall, beautiful teenager with a fairly mature physique for her age. Her hair is black, long and tied back in a high ponytail. She has a long lock that falls on the right side of her face, dark gray eyes and a generous chest.
"Yes? What can I do for you... Yaoyorozu-san?"
"You can call me Momo, it's easier. I wanted to ask you... Do you..." She looks embarrassed. "Would you mind telling me about your power of creation?"
"My creative power... Oh, you mean my projection. Yes, of course, if you're interested, I could show you."
"Projection? It's interesting to use a term like that. I'll ask you again later this week. I won't bother you any longer. See ya!" She said, before joining the changing rooms.
"So Aki-sensei, can I go?" I ask, sitting down opposite the teacher.
"Hmmm... Let me inspect you." She brings out a monocle and inspects me from top to bottom, frowning.
"Is there a problem? Yet I'm feeling pretty good." I massage my biceps.
"On the surface, your body is in tip-top shape, but your organs don't look so good. On top of the constant stress of self-inflicted training, you almost died not so long ago, destroying your body over and over again." She crosses her arms under her chest, pulling them up.
"Ah... And it's pretty serious...?" I ask, surprised.
"*sigh* No, you're still young, it can be cured quickly, but still, it's completely reckless! You must learn to take care of yourself Senji! Because if you go on like this, you'll destroy yourself!" Aki raises her voice, surprising me even more.
"What Aki-chan is trying to tell you is that she's very worried about you." Recovery Girl enters the room.
"Chiyo-sama!" Aki is surprised, blushing suddenly. "I didn't phrase it like that, but it's partly true..." She scratches her cheek and looks away. "Promise me to be more careful in the future, okay?"
"...I could tell you what you want to hear, but that would be lying." I reply. "Then I'd rather be honest and tell you I'll do my best."
"..." Aki looks at me, surprised by my answer, and lets out a sigh. "I... I accept it. On that note you can go, I imagine Maken-ki are waiting for you."
"Thank you." I stand up and bow. "Have a nice rest of the day, Aki-sensei, Recovery girl."
"Aki-sensei worries about me... I think it's normal for a teacher to worry about a student, but there Recovery girl seemed to mean something else..." I murmur, heading for Maken-ki's office.
"So, is everything okay Senji?" I turn to see Iida beside me.
"Oh, hey Iida, yeah, Aki-sensei inspected me and everything's fine."
"I must say, Aizawa-sensei really got me! In fact, I said to myself, "So this is how the best academy is!" Now I understand better how a teacher can encourage us with subterfuge..." Iida says, gesturing with his hands.
(I used to think Iida was a bit of a pushover, but he's just a guy who's a bit too honest and diligent.)
"Hey there!" We turn to see Ochaco running towards us. "Hey, you two! Are you heading for the station? Wait for me!"
"You're the 'infinity' girl." Iida greets.
"Hi, I'm Uraraka Ochaco! You're, uh, Iida Tenya and if I'm not mistaken... Senji Emiya!"
"Hi, so that first day, how was it?" I ask her.
"It was incredible but so stressful, Aizawa-sensei got us good!" She exclaims, rubbing the back of her head. "By the way I had a question, is there any history between you and the angry blond... um, Bakugo?"
"Hm, I've noticed it too, he doesn't seem to like you much." Iida adds.
"Yeah... We were friends when we were in elementary school. But then his powers came along and he became the big-headed, self-absorbed guy he is." I explain.
"I see, he's the kind of person who treats people without Alter as inferior, it's becoming more and more common." Iida remarks.
"And he still wants to be a hero? What a strange character..." Ochaco rubs her chin.
"One doesn't preclude the other. But I'd prefer to keep this discussion between us." I look down at my phone, watching the hour tick by. "On that note, I have to go. Have a good afternoon."
We say goodbye, and I leave them, continuing on my way.
Thursday, March 23, 2023.
It's already past midnight and I'm slowly making my way to my room, having trained my magic circuits at my shed. I enter my room and make myself comfortable on my futon.
(It comforts me to see that Asia is doing much better than I am at her devil's job. I think I'll finally be able to leave her alone and stop accompanying her... Rias was still lost in thought, but it looked worse than before, she seemed so sad... I wonder what we can do for her...)
After several minutes of silence as I try to drift off to sleep, the floor of my room begins to glow with a bright red light. The light comes from our group's magic circle.
(The Gremory magic circle? Who could it be? And why in my room?)
Suddenly, the magic circle emits a powerful light, illuminating the whole room, and a red-haired figure appears...
"Rias...?" I murmur, getting off my futon.
When the light goes out, I can finally see her properly, and her face doesn't look good - she seems to be back to the wall. Our eyes meet and she moves towards me and kneels in front of me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Make love to me." She said in a serious tone.
I freeze, taking the time to assimilate what she's just told me, before my mind goes blank, I feel my heart beating at full speed.
(What did she just say to me? Did I really hear that?)
"I want you to take my virginity, immediately." Rias repeats herself to make sure I hear her, since I have an extremely confused look on my face.
"W...Wait..." I struggle to find my words, feeling my body temperature soar. "What's happening... President..."
"Don't worry, I've made your room soundproof, so no one will hear us." She says, sitting on my lap.
We're only a few centimetres apart, and as she's taller than me, my face is level with her chest. Suddenly, she starts to take off her uniform, unbuttoning it.
(Wait! What the hell is going on?! My mind can't keep up! Why is she doing this? She clearly doesn't want to do this...)
She removes her shirt and unzips her skirt, leaving only the white underwear, feeling her bare thighs on mine doesn't help to calm the situation at all.
"President... please..." I'm panicking.
I've always avoided seeing this kind of thing because it scared me more than anything else, but now Rias Gremory, perhaps the most gorgeous girl on campus, asks me to have sex with her and undresses right in front of me, inches from my face. We're so close that I can see her big breasts rising and falling with the rhythm of her breathing. Then she reaches behind her back to unbutton her bra. Seeing this, I grab her shoulders to stop her before it goes too far.
"President, please... explain to me what's going on..."
"..." She lets out a sigh, then looks me straight in the eye. "Senji, am I not good enough for you?"
"N..No! Absolutely not! But... But that's not the point! I can clearly see that you don't want to do this! Please explain what's going on!" I do everything to control myself, avoiding thinking with where all my blood is.
"...I've thought of lots of things, but this is the last method I have left." She said regretfully.
"...What's the heart of the matter? Why has it come to this?" I ask, starting to calm down.
"If there's proof, then they can't complain about it. The only person close to me who's capable of doing that is you." She said, placing her hands on mine, caressing them gently.
"Me?! I'm sure Kiba is much better than me, especially for you president..." Vivid memories of my father hitting my mother and me flash through my head.
"..." She raises her eyebrows, not expecting this. "...Yuuto won't do. He's a pure knight. He would categorically refuse. That's why you're my only solution, Senji."
"But... I too have refused since the beginning..." Rias cuts me off, resting her index finger on my lips.
"And then..." She moves closer to me, resting her body on mine, to whisper in my ear. "You're my type, so it's not that big a deal."
Hearing this, my body suddenly loses all its strength and my head starts to spin. Rias frees herself and unbuttons her bra. She quickly looks down, before refocusing on my face, completely flushed. She puts her hand on my torso and gently pushes me down onto my futon, removing her bra to let me see her bare chest.
"You say you don't want to but..." She places her hand on my member, and strokes it up and down, causing sensations throughout my body that I don't understand, making me see stars. "Your body seems to think otherwise... Look." She takes my hand and makes my fingertips touch her panties, which are wet. "That makes two of us."
Suddenly, she sits on my member, moving back and forth slightly. She gets on top of me, letting her red hair fall on and around me, her scent invading my head. She runs her hands over my body, her gaze completely changed from regret to lust. I turn my gaze to her chest, dangling and pointing, her nipples already erect and bouncing with every movement.
"Are you already experienced or is this your first time, Senji?" She asks impatiently.
"My... my first time..." I only manage to say a few words.
"I see. It's my first time too, so let's do it all the way even if we both have no experience. It's quite simple, you just have to put it in here." Rias digs her fingers into her panties and touches her private area.
Seeing this makes my brain feel like it's going to explode. Then Rias takes my left hand and makes me grab her right breast. I feel a real soft sensation as my fingers sink in. I'm speechless, the more time passes, the more I tell myself that it's no longer worth holding back, at this point.
"Do you realize it?" Rias asks me in a seductive voice. "I'm nervous too, you can tell by my heartbeat, right?"
Now that she says it, I can feel her heart beating rapidly through the chest I'm holding. I can also see that her face is as red as mine. Then she lies down on my body, her lips very close to mine.
"But with all that... It looks like you've been spoiled by nature, so I know at least we'll have a good time. You see, I'm pretty confident in my body..." Rias murmurs, nibbling her lips.
Something explodes in my head and all I can think about is devouring her. I take her in my arms, sticking her soft skin to mine, and move closer to her lips to kiss her. She places her hands on my cheeks and closes her eyes, ready.
Suddenly, the floor of my room begins to glow again, releasing me from this strange state. I can feel that I'm embarrassed, disappointed. Disappointed, it surprises me enormously, starting to scare me.
(What's going on...)
"...It looks like I'm too late..." Rias sighs, releasing herself from my grip.
She sits down next to me, looking at the magic circle with disgust. I look at it in turn, seeing that it's the Gremory symbol?
(Who can it be? Kiba, Akeno Koneko? Whoever it is, being caught in this situation is very bad...)
But my predictions are wrong, and the person who appears from the magic circle is a silver-haired woman wearing a maid's outfit.
"Are you trying to break the deal by doing something like this?" The beautiful silver-haired maid speaks silently after seeing me and Rias, she says it plainly as if she is astonished.
"If I don't go this far, both father and big brother won't listen to me right?" Rias twitches her eyebrows hearing that.
"Sirzechs-sama and the master will both be sad when they hear that you tried to give your purity to someone as low as this." Said the maid.
(Her father and an older brother, Sirzechs... So it's with them that it's complicated? But lowly... Yeah, that about sums me up...)
"My purity is mine only. What's wrong with giving it to someone whom I acknowledge? Also don't call my cute servant lowly. Even if it's you, I won't forgive you, Grayfia." Hearing the maid woman say that, Rias becomes unpleasant immediately.
"Anyway," The woman called Grayfia picks up Rias's bra. "you are the next heiress of the House of Gremory, so please don't show your skin to a man recklessly. Even more so if you are in the middle of this situation." She then puts the bra on Rias's body. She looks at me and bows her head down. "How do you do. I'm a maid that serves the House of Gremory. My name is Grayfia. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
(How do I do? Is she really asking me with this absurd situation?! I feel like my brain exploded!)
I still receive a polite introduction from her, even though I'm extremely embarrassed by the situation. But if I look at her more closely, she's quite beautiful, she seems to be in her twenties, calm and collected, with her silver hair shining in the moonlight. She has her hair split into three strings, which are then knotted with each other.
(Grayfia-san huh... No, wait, what's happening to me, I'm thinking like Usui and the other two, it's not good, not good at all... Rias' seduction has completely ruined my brain!)
While I'm in internal conflict, I can see Rias looking at me and I don't know what to think, is it jealousy, envy, regret, it's strange, maybe a mixture of all three.
"Grayfia, did you come here of your own accord? Or because the household sent you? ...Or is it big brother?" Rias makes an unpleasant face. Somehow she's acting like girls her age. This is a new side of her I haven't seen.
"All of them." Grayfia answers like that.
"Is that so?" Rias sighs as if she is giving up. "You, who is brother's [Queen, came to the human world personally. So it can only be one thing. I understand."
Rias takes her clothes and dresses quickly, then turns to me and crouches down in front of me, placing her hand on my cheek. But the sensation is no longer the same, no longer one of lust, but of apology, almost regret.
"I'm sorry, Senji. Let's pretend everything that happened here never happened. I couldn't think straight, and I almost did something you didn't want... Let's forget about tonight's incident."
This nightmare is finally over, I hold back as best I can, but I can feel my body trembling, still in shock from what has just happened.
"Senji? Wait, is this person?" Grayfia looks at me with a shocked expression. I never expected a cool woman like her to be this shocked.
"Yes, Emiya Senji. My [Pawn]. The user of the [Boosted Gear]." Rias replies, proudly.
"...[Boosted Gear, the one possessed by the Emperor of Dragons..." Grayfia look at me as if she's looking at something extraordinary.
(You've made quite a name for yourself, Ddraig...)
"Hm? Normal, after all, as I told you back then, I showed them the power of a dragon. That sight of power must have stayed with them. That's how strong I am, and that's how you must become."
"Grayfia, let's go back to my room. I will listen to what you have to say over there. Akeno can also attend, right?"
"I don't mind. It's a must for High-class Devils to have their [Queen] by their side all the time."
"Very well, Senji." She brings her face close to mine and gently presses her lips to my cheek. "Please excuse me for tonight with this. I've upset you enormously. Let's meet again at the club tomorrow."
She stands up and approaches Grayfia, who begins to create a magic circle beneath her. Rias greets me one last time and the two of them disappear into the magic circle, leaving me alone in my room. I sit on my futon, staring into space. I look down at the hand that held Rias's breast, still feeling its warmth and scent, and touch my cheek, completely stunned by what has just happened.
I try to lie back and close my eyes, but the darkness is quickly replaced by Rias, her body bare and her hair red. This image anchored in my eyes transforms to give way to my imagination, which makes me hate myself even more.
"No... I mustn't see her like this, I mustn't think about this, or I might end up like him, like my father... Please, please all but this..." I murmur, curling up on myself under my sheet.
