Chapter 24: A Day at Kuoh Academy

[3rd POV - Issei] [Kuoh Academy]

Within Kuoh Academy, where the teens of the small city of Kuoh went for schooling, Issei walked. She was on her way to her first class, with Lint and Zekka having already gotten to theirs. A pout was on her face as she remembered the deal she made with Morgan, which entailed going on a fake date with some Fallen Angel, and in return, she'd get a date with Morgan. Not really something she wanted or cared for.

'Stupid fallen angels having to make me go on a stupid date! I only want masters oppai, not some skank fallen angel!' Issei grumbled, she had long since lost any sort of desire for other women, and now it was only Morgan that caught her eye, especially her "Oppai".

'At least master is taking me on a date afterwards! And maybe I can even get a good look at her naked oppai!' Issei thought with a perverted grin, excited at the mere idea of seeing them. She had almost gotten a look at them before, but Morgan always noticed and covered them before the girl could. Both because of her age, and more so because she found the girls reaction to be amusing.

Walking outside the school, Issei ignored the stares of the Gremory heiress, as Morgan had warned her that the girl would likely be interested in her. As she would with Zekka. She knew that Lint was Morgan's knight, so she wouldn't dare go anywhere near the girl, unless she wanted to piss off Morgan.

'I wonder if Morgan-sama is gonna make her one of hers too?' Issei wondered, glancing at Rias. She knew Morgan just as much as the rest of the peerage, which means she knew that the woman was incredibly possessive, to the point that she was pretty sure that when a guy was trying to follow her home, Morgan had found him, ripped his...member off and made him choke on it to death.

So...possessive was a bit of an understatement when it came to Morgan and her feelings for her peerage. From what Yasaka had told them, she was even more possessive of her, which, from what they could tell, was due to her losing her entire family over the years, which led to this desire to never let anyone else die or be touched by another. ESPECIALLY not the ones she deemed as "Hers" as all of her peerage was.

'Well, I'm sure Morgan-sama will warn us beforehand' Issei thought with an inward shrug, as Morgan wouldn't bring another in unless she warned them. Especially not someone like Rias Gremory.

She didn't dislike Rias or anything, it was more so Rias's family that she and the other members of Morgan's peerage didn't trust. Her father was a manipulative man that was forcing his own daughter to marry a man that would gladly turn her into his sex slave. Her mother was not as manipulative, but she still was, and was also the one who helped set up the marriage. And then there were Sirzechs who would gladly kill Morgan and force them into Rias's peerage if it meant that his sister would get out of the marriage.

Rias herself was actually quite kind in comparison, and not even remotely as manipulative.

Although the way she was constantly staring at her and Zekka was a little creepy, but it was for a reason, so she wasn't going to get too mad over it.

'Well, either way, it's up to Morgan-sama if she does. As long as I get to see some oppai by the end of all of this, I'll be happy!' Issei inwardly cheered as she walked off.

In a room in the school, Rias looked down at Issei, watching as she walked off. She was currently in the student council room with Sona, playing a game of chess for the 107th time, with her winning a grand total of 0 times, and Sona winning every single time. But, recently due to the training by Morgan, she has gotten a lot closer to winning.

"That's the new girl, the one you want in your peerage, correct?" Sona asked Rias who nodded.

"I plan on giving her the offer in a couple of days. She has a sacred gear, I just...don't know which one. Whatever it is, it's draconic in nature, from what Koneko has told me" Rias replied as Sona raised an eyebrow.

"Draconic? Do you think she's like Saji?" Sona asked, as Rias shook her head.

"Koneko said that it was different, stronger"

"Do you think it's one of those two?" Sona asked as Rias went silent, before slowly nodding.

"I think it's a good possibility. But enough about my potential pawn, how is your research into the other girl, Zekka was it?" Rias asked, as Sona sighed.

"Not much to go off of. From what I can tell, she had a grandmother that took care of her, and only recently enrolled in this school around the same time as Issei. I'm confident that she has sacred gear, it's just hard to know which one. I doubt it's as powerful as Issei's, but it's enough for her to be a good addition to my peerage" Sona replied.

"And are you going to give her the offer?" Rias asked, as Sona nodded. The "Offer" they were talking about, were the ones they'd give new peerage members when they were able to recruit them. This more so applied to Sona and not Rias, as all of Rias's peerage came to her thanks to her brother, which was...a little concerning.

"I plan to, yes"

"Well, it looks like we'll both be trying our hand at recruiting a new member for our peerage" Rias said with a small giggle, as Sona smiled.

"Yes well, after I met Morgan-san, it became blatantly clear how lacking I truly am. That woman is..." "Better than us in every way? Frustratingly genius? Very attractive?" Rias finished her sentence as Sona raised an eyebrow at the last one.

"I'd say yes for the first two. The last one...is also correct, but I wouldn't say it out loud" Sona replied as Rias shrugged.

"A girl can like both sides" Rias replied, as she was indeed, Bisexual. She leaned towards men more, but she had to admit that Morgan was...hitting all the right spots for a partner in her book.

A genius, smart, incredibly beautiful, powerful, kind, and doesn't look down upon her.

"Yes well...I suppose that is true. Have you interacted with her knight yet? I do believe she has some of the same classes as you" Sona asked, remembering that Lint had enrolled in the school.

"Not really. Kiba has though, he's sparred against her a few times, and has been crushed each and every time. And I hear that she frequents the Kendo club, and seems to have hit it off with the members, even becoming a pseudo member of sorts" Rias replied, as Sona raised an eyebrow.

"Truly? I knew she was skilled, but not to that level. Even when we train with Morgan-san, she's almost never there. So to hear that she can crush Kiba is a surprise" Sona said in surprise. Kiba was the best swordsman out of both of their peerages, so to hear that Morgan's knight could effortlessly crush him, was a bit of a shocker.

"Trust me, I was shocked too. I can't remember the last time Kiba was so thoroughly crushed by someone of the same age. Morgan-san I can understand, but her Knight? She truly is incredible" Rias said with a small smile, as the woman who wasn't much older than them (Being only 21) was far more impressive than any of them.

"Well, I suppose it's a good thing she's our sensei then, isn't it?" Sona replied with a small smirk on her face as she sipped on her tea. Rias hearing this, smirked and replied, as she took her own sip of tea.

"It certainly is...it certainly is"

[3rd POV - Lint]

"You want me to what?" Lint asked, as she stared at Kiba, who spoke again.

"Fight me again" Kiba said again, a serious glint in his eyes. He refused to lose to someone the same age as him, not again. Last time they fought, he lost in 3 moves, this time, he would win, and he would prove that he was the best swordsman in Kuoh, not her.

"No" Lint replied bluntly before walking past the teen. She had no interest in fighting him, as the only swordsman she has fought that actually pushes her anymore, was Zekka, Jeanne, and of course, Morgan. Morgan being the only one who can defeat her with ease, a scary amount of ease at that.

Morgan may not use her sword often, but thanks to her various abilities, she was monstrously talented in the art, and while she didn't grow as fast as Zekka, Jeanne, and Lint, she still grew rapidly. All it would take was one sacred gear, clan trait, quirk, or technique, and she'd grow faster than even them.

"Why? Are you scared to lose?" Kiba asked, as Lint snorted.

"No, I'd just rather not waste my time again. Last time you lasted 3 moves, and I wasn't even trying. You think you can beat me with only a little time having passed? Yeah right dude. The only person that I've met that can defeat me with the sword is my master" Lint replied, this was a lie. Zekka and Jeanne were both comparable to her and have both beaten her on several occasions. Each of them had 25 wins and 25 loses, making them all completely deadlocked with one another in terms of wins and losses.

Kiba stared at her before sighing "What would it take for us to battle once again?"

"Reach High-class in power and then we can talk. You're barely Middle Class right now. Whereas I'm way beyond you. Oh, and learn how to use that sacred gear of yours, that thing has more potential than mine, you just need to learn how to use it properly" Lint responded, as the teens eyes widened, understanding what Lint was saying.

'If she wishes for me to reach high class then...she's at least High Class!' Kiba thought in shock, understanding now why the girl was able to crush him so easily. He was but a Middle Class, while she was comparable to Rias in power, if not higher thanks to her sacred gear.

"Oh, and could you tell your King to stop staring at me so much? It's kinda creepy" Lint added, before the other knight could even react, she walked off, leaving him behind as she made her way to her first class, as Kiba watched her go, with only one thought on his mind.

'I-I've gotta tell Rias-sama!'

[3rd POV - Zekka] [Later, Lunch Time]

Sitting outside, Zekka bit into her lunch that her master had made her, sighing at the delicious taste before blinking as she turned, a small petite hand snatching a piece of candy from her.

"...Can I help you?" Zekka asked, as she looked at Koneko, who munched on the candy with slightly wide eyes, savouring the taste.

"...Can I have some?"

"You-You already took some" Zekka said with a small pout, as she watched Koneko grab another piece, munching on the hard candy with a pleased smile.

"They're good" Koneko said simply as she tried to grab another, only for her hand to be slapped away as her eyes narrowed.

"These are mine, go find your own" Zekka said with a small glare of her own, as she smugly put a piece in her mouth as Koneko looked to the side, trying to hide her pout as she silently began to eat her own food, glancing at Zekka's the entire time.

All the while, Zekka was thinking 'Master was right, she does have a sweet tooth'

[3rd POV - Issei] [Later in the day, after school]

Walking away from the school, Issei let out a groan as she dragged her feet, knowing that it was likely the fallen angel would appear soon. And low and behold...

"Are you Issei Hyoudou?" A voice echoed as Issei turned, before she groaned inwardly and nodded.

"I am" Issei said, inwardly begging for the girl to go away, only to inwardly scream as the girl asked a rather "Important" question, one that would be the true beginning to everything, and that question was...

"Will you go out with me?!"

That's the end of the chapter!

I decided that the others decided some POV's of their own, so this is that chapter. The next chapter will have a decent bit going on, and will likely be around the same length as this one.

This is also the end of Volume 1, aka the "Prologue" arc. Volume 2 "The Rise" is going to have a LOT more going on, and will no longer have the chapters that are half full of details and no dialogue. There's also going to be more and more power growth, new peerage members, reveals, and SO much more.

I can tell you now, that this fic will be shorter than any of my others, and will likely last for around 100-150 chapters or so.

Anyways, have a good day!
