Chapter 7

"Hmm? Is that one of those... cards?" Julis asked as she walked over to him.

She brought a plate of sandwiches and a cup of tea for him.

"Yes… it appears my death no… earned me an extra spin…" Alex said while looking at the blue card.

"...that's…" The pinkhead was out of words, on one side she was happy that he gets something out of this, and on the other hand she is annoyed for how his power is treating him.

"Anyway, I am joining the club of elemental users…" He showed the card to her.

Julis eyes slightly widened seeing what's written on the card.

After showing the card, Alex focused on it, the blue card glowed before scattering and entering Alex body.

Moments later Alex felt a surge of some sorts in his body, like a current washed him over.

Seconds later he tried to 'pull it', and electricity crackled between his fingers the very next second.

'This is going to take time to get use to…' Alex said to himself, he can feel that it's connected to his emotions as well as his body in general.

If he is not careful he can easily electrocute people…

"This is good! Now you will have some means to defend yourself!" Julis said with a happy and relieved tone.

Alex slowly nodded to her, now he needs to master it…

He then looked at the sandwiches she prepared.

"...they look amazing…" He said to her as he looked at her sandwiches, she didn't just make them from toasted bread, nope she pulled out the sandwich toaster and, put a bunch of stuff inside of them.

"But, you don't need to make such amazing sandwiches in the morning…" Alex said that with a smile.

Julis gave him a deadpan look.

"Look who is talking… I felt like I was in a restaurant yesterday." She said with an exaggerated look.

"Well, I am the guy who wants to impress his girlfriend." He said while smirking.

The pinkhead almost flustered hearing that, but she could not hide the obvious blush.

"A-And I want to show that I can cook as well!" She said that while fighting through her blush.

"I see then why don't we reach the middle ground and do things together?" Alex offered a solution and the pink head nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Good, then let's eat."

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

Kuoh City is not a big place, Shinto Pantheon wouldn't give a large city over to Devils, even if it just to rent it out, unlike other religions Shinto is quite a powerful faction, because unlike the Greek Pantheon or Norse Pantheon they still have a large number of followers, this in turn made the Shinto gods quite powerful, as faith still plays a part of it.

Unlike other realities, Gods in DxD don't fade away or something like that, no...they just get empowered, like Hindu Gods… a few of them are in the top 10 strongest being of this reality.

This means that most of the pantheons have their full lineup of gods,

Just thinking about it made Alex somewhat terrified and quite excited, he won't be lying to say that he dislikes how stale his reality was, after being exposed to media and all the fantasy stuff he really, wanted to experience all that.

Now he has it, and… he realised how dangerous any of the pantheons are…

'I wonder if Aztec Pantheon is around? Those guys are complete bloodthirsty and insane…'

Even more so he needs to train and reach a respectable level of strength before he can even think about relaxing and lazing around.

"Alex, we need to know about each other as much as possible," Julis said to him as they were walking towards Kuoh academy.

He didn't visit the place but he knows the general direction from his house, the city is not that big, plus the brochure showed where the academy is.

"Sure, why don't we start with the most obvious…likes and dislikes?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

The pinkhead nodded with a small smile.

Alex started first and Julis listened attentively, as they were getting close to the academy both of them could see more and more teenagers dressed in Kuoh uniforms appear.

That moment Julis grabbed his hand, he gave her a questioning look and she just gave him a sharp look back.

"Isn't it obvious what I am doing!" She said with a nearly whispering voice.

While Alex could only shake his head internally, didn't he just ended up in one of those weird settings?

'Wasn't that anime called Nisekoi? Or something similar with a bunch of those weird relationships?'

He obviously won't going to complain when Julis wants to get all touchy with him.

The pinkhead girl quickly noticed that Alex quickly started to adjust to the whole situation.

Not only that but she could see a small smile on his face.

She realised that he looks more natural in this 'relationship' that she does!

'Alright! Julis, just relax!' The Princess pumped herself up.

Alex for a second saw Julis doing breathing exercise, he could only smile in amusement, she truly is a tsun tsun, so easily embarrassed.

Eventually, they arrived at the school, which was quite a huge complex of buildings.

The anime doesn't do justice to the school which was shown just like some Victorian-era mansion, nope it's so much more.

For a second Alex remembered the harem anime called 'Princess Lover' where school was a massive complex of buildings, from horse riding club to fencing.

'Ah, yes… Code Geass, the Ashford Academy, that place is even more posh.'

His previous school would look like a joke in front of those.

"Not bad… But, Asterisk is more impressive…" Julis said with a small smug look on her face.

Alex rolled his eyes at her.

"A floating island with a bunch of schools and academies?, and is financially supported by the entire world? I quite doubt there is anything that can match that…"

Julis just smiled at him, she could hear some envy in his voice.

"I am sure one of these days you will get a ticket to my world."

Instead of saying anything Alex just squeezed her hand and looked forwards, this time it was seriously, Julis followed his gaze and saw two girls with glasses.

For a second the pinkhead tensed, she knows from the description that these two are devils, not only that but her gut feeling is telling her that these two are dangerous.

Most of all there is that aura around them which she can't put her finger on.

'My powers have changed, maybe that's me sensing magic?' Julis could only frown, back at her reality there was only Prana, and she would be always prepared, but this reality is different, from what Alex has said to her, pretty much every type of group have their unique powers.

It's going to be a nightmare to prepare for every possible situation…

'So, these are the devils… they look like humans!'

Julia already knew that they are just like human, but it doesn't change the fact that she was standing in front of a devil from the Bible!

"Good Morning you two must be the transfer students, my name is Sona Shitori, and I am the student council president." The smaller girl with glasses introduced herself.

Alex was feeling quite excited meeting another anime character, especially non-human.

He can finally see the 'difference'... Which was none, the only difference was that she had a different vibe to it than normal people.

"And this is Tsubaki Shinra, she is the Vice President of Student Council." Sona introduced her 'Queen' of her peerage.

Alex told everything he knew about the two peerages so that Julis would be prepared.

He knows that his girlfriend wants to know everything she can about devils, as someone who comes from Asterisk, the girl wants to be prepared for everything.

A good mentally… but, in this place? He is going to need to keep her in check otherwise she mind lose herself…

"Nice to meet you Shitori-san and Tsubaki-san." Alex did a proper Japanese greeting, he came prepared to this place after all.

Alex behaviour slightly caught both of them off-guard, they were not expecting to meet someone who is already fully prepared for cultural difference and knows the language and etiquette.

"...I am impressed, it's seems you came prepared." Sona was quite pleased already, she likes people who are prepared and don't rush in without a plan.

Julis followed Alex example and did the same, she was slightly off-balanced, the princess didn't expect Alex to be that prepared, he didn't say anything to her!

She didn't even know that they still doing that bowing thing!

Sona did noticed how Julis reacted to Alex, she was curious on that front.

"Yes, I did. So, will you show us around or we will be going to the faculty office?" Alex quickly changed the theme of conversation when he saw Sona looking curiously at Julis.

"There is no time to show the school grounds, as classes will start shortly, but if you are interested I can show you the school grounds after classes are over."

Alex slightly was put on edge when he heard that. Devils, especially the smarter ones, can say simple words but their words usually have several different meanings.

He has not expected for student council president to offer that… personally.

"I don't wish to impose on your private time, Shitori-san. I am sure you have some people who can do that for you?" Alex don't want to be close to Devil Heiress at this moment.

He by any stretch was not ready yet, but it will be impossible for him not to be involved, he stands out like a sore thumb, and Sona already looking at him greedily…

"It's fine, not every day we get students from abroad, especially from this far away." The Sitri Heiress brushed his words aside, she is not letting him get rid of her that easily.

The Devil Heiress can already feel that they are special, she has suspicion that both of them have elemental Sacred gears.

The pink-haired girl has a fire-based one, and the guy has an electrical-based one.

For her senses to pick that up was quite easy, especially since these gears are unlocked, which means they already know about the supernatural to a certain degree.

The best part in all of this is that they don't belong to any faction, if they were part of the Norse Pantheon the Norse gods would already picket them up or would have notified the devils not to try anything funny.

In other words, they are ready for pick up, and devils are best when it comes to good offers and deals.

"Follow me, I will show you to your classroom." Sona motioned for them to follow her.

Sona then began explaining about the facilities in general, to a certain degree Alex knew about them.

But, the light novels don't explain much on the whole thing, thus many of the things Sona said was new to Alex as well.

The best part of all that is that once you get into the school, one doesn't need to look for college or university since everything is in one place.

This whole thing was smelling like devil business, especially Serafall and Sirzechs, they don't want Rias and Sona to go anywhere from this city...

Thus they created a world-class learning institute…

The power of sis-con are off the charts in those two…

Alex realised that he will need to be extra careful around those two.

Apart from those small 'details' Alex likes the new place, it's a complete makeover from his old school which was built nearly 50 years ago…

While Alex was taking in all the sights, his girlfriend was looking at the devils, she already noticed how the Heiress was looking at her boyfriend.

She doesn't like that at all!

Still, she is very happy that the emphatic link she has wit4h Alex didn't react much when they saw the devils for the first time.

It a good indicator of how he feels around these girls.

"This is your classroom 2-B." Sona showed the doors for the classroom.

Alex first reaction was... lip twitch.

It's the same classroom where the so-called protagonist is...
