While in the 'Anime' side of the story the fact a student could easily be pulled out of class and pardoned because he had to speak to some important character, I was fairly sure that with how things were currently unfolding, the situation was quite the illegal by the school's rules.

I've never heard of a school that could allow students to be literally pulled out of a classroom mid-lesson and given as justification the fact that 'they were going to talk with a big name'.

By anime standard, it was the rule presented above… but considering that this was now meant to be considered the 'real world', I could see only one mean to gain this kind of 'power'.

Bribery.

It wasn't that much of a novelty for me to considering that the headmaster, which I was sure was aware of the true nature of many of his students, was quick to cave in to the demands of the major economic donors to the Academy.

That was both a good thing, because of the fact I can weave odd circumstances thanks to Baraqiel's support by having the man ignore some happenings, and a bad thing, because Rias could outbid any of my effort if she ever discovered my little games.

It would be dumb for me to abuse this new opportunities.

Just like the blasted shower in the middle of the room.

Seriously, who would really want to shower in front of people? And why?

Rias was someone that, from my limited understanding, didn't have any issue in showing some skin around, my mind reminding me how she would spend her nights sleeping 'with' Issei without clothes, but she had also showed some moderation after the Phenex Arc.

Still, it's a miracle the boy hadn't regressed back to when he was well-entrenched with his perverted ways because of this daily occurrence, but I was quite certain that the reason behind his 'resistance' had all to do with Asia's presence by his side.

The former nun was technically not sensing any reason to make competition, at least that was what I could feel by her eased attitude towards people. She was still nervous as she was growing more accustomed to her new scenery, but she seemed to be less worried about losing Issei to someone as attractive as the redhead.

It was a strange change in her attitude towards the brunet compared to her canon self, and I had been genuinely surprised when I noticed this.

The blonde would still seek to be by the boy's proximity, happy to be around him as much as possible much to my glee, but the girl wouldn't exert herself in showing her interest about it by going too far with her actions.

My only theory about this strange development was connected to the first encounter they both had, and how the initial interactions weren't as intense as in Canon.

Issei didn't get to give her a full tour of Kuoh Town until I was mid-training with Azazel and, without Raynare there to interrupt and cause a heroic rescue to save the blonde, Asia's idea of the boy was better formed and more intimate than the partial one she had back in Canon.

There wasn't much of the Knight in Shining Armor kind of idea within the girl's mind when thinking about the boy she cared for, and that offered her the chance to slowly learn more about his inner thoughts to a moderate pace.

Plus there was the fact that Issei himself didn't present himself as a teen that constantly launch himself at every oppai he saw nearby, thus mostly removing the chances of the blonde to get any hint of silly jealous about other girls and end pushing herself to 'catch his attention' with some awkward actions.

That is why I could only suppose Rias was having a particularly difficult time with the brunet and Asia.

In the show the redhead would have some sort of advantage over both 'Kohais' as she was quite resourceful and gave off quite the confident presence compared to both the boy's and girl's uncertain reactions to everything about the supernatural world and their newest situations.

With Asia standing on some strong foundation and becoming an important part of Issei's current life, the Gremory's chances of teasing and playing around with the boy's (now non-existent) embarrassing habits turned quite useless if not antagonistic.

The brunet had still some trouble thinking back at the first time he had to face Raynare, but he never had the chance of actually braving that fear, only learning that the fallen angel had been forced away from Kuoh Town after hurting Asia.

The atmosphere at the club felt quite tense for some unknown reason and the room was divided in two visible sides.

Occupying both sides of the couch I was now sitting by were a nervous Issei and the stoic-looking Koneko, the little Nekoshou munching at some candies and paying me just minimal attention as silence reigned all around the place.

Kiba took one of the chairs near the center of the room, Rias was sitting in the couch to the opposite of the one I was currently seated and Akeno was humming happily as she finished preparing some tea.

I had long contemplated the fact that they could possibly reveal themselves at this, but this theory was discouraged by the fact Sona wouldn't allow that.

As I had said long before, the Sitri heiress still considered me part of some 'honorary peerage' as I was a member of the Student Council despite the fact I was still part of Grigori.

So having Rias even come close to deprive her of the 'honor' of the short-haired girl to introduce me to the Underworld's situation… would have ended up with dire consequences for the redhead.

So I knew that whatever was going to happen, it wasn't going to be incredibly big or important plot-wise for me to be worried about.

Finally the silence came to an end when Akeno came to pass by the couch and, even though I had already declined as politely as possible her offer of a cup of tea, I was presented with a steamy one of it.
