[Shigure Soen Ryu] - Passive - LvL: 7/100 EXP: 98%

Description: the [Shigure Soen Ryu] is a sword style that is called the 'Invincible Sword Style' for several reasons. This style originated with one man and like a family tree, it grew. As the style was passed down, the more the tree grew. It is common for a generation to add a new form to the [Shigure Soen Ryu]. This is a sword style that varies, depending on who your master was. Thus, there could be many different variations of the [Shigure Soen Ryu] and is a notoriously deadly sword style that is only passed down to worthy successors. Each 'form' of the style is only shown once to the student.

If the student is worth to succeed, he only needs to see it once to remember how to use it from then on. It originally only had one form that was passed down through generations of successors, with each successor creating and adding their own forms resulting in many branches of [Shigure Soen Ryu]. However, as new forms were created, the weaker brances deteriorate, and others disappear as there is no worthy successor; hence, this style can be called the perfect, flawless style.

1st Form: Shajiku no Ame (Axle of Rain) - Offensive. The katana is gripped with both hands and the user thrusts forward keeping the katana in the center and following after a blast of water shot at the target directions. [Rain Flame] can be used as a substitute if theirs no water.

2nd Form: Sakamaku Ame (Rolling Rain) - Defensive. As the enemy or a projectile comes closer the katana is held in the right hand with the tip of the blade touching a surface of water as the target get close enough the user spins around to the right on the ball of the foot and swinging the blade up to it's highest point, the blade will have brought up a wave of water that forms a wall around the user as they turns fully facing the wall, will hold the katana vertically between themselves and the thin wall of water. [Rain Flame] can be used as a substitute if theirs no water.

3rd Form: Yarazu no Ame (Last Minute Rain) - Offensive. The katana is dropped and the hilt is kicked, propelling it towards the target, occasionally followed by a blast of water adding to the attacks power and the force of the blade when hitting. If a target is hit and wearing light armor, the blade is still likely to pierce all the way to the hilt of the katana is stopping the blade from going straight through.

4th Form: Samidare (Early Summer Rain) - Offensive. The user holds their sword in one hand and slashes at their opponent, but instead of actually attacking, pulls off a feint. Meanwhile, the actual katana is falling to the user's other hand to create a genuine slash after the intended target is caught off guard attempting to dodge the first feint attack, additionally no water is needed for this strike.

5th Form: Shibuki Ame (Splashing Rain) - Defensive. The user holds their blade backwards and spins it to create a whirlwind-like shield, while spinning the wind created brings droplets of water into the air, these droplets, however, do not add to the power of the shield created, they simply make it look nicer.

6th Form: Gofuu Juuu (May Wind, October Rain) - Defensive. The user synchronises with their opponent's breathing to evade their attacks at high speed once used the user and opponent gain a temporary insight into the others movements.

7th Form: Shinotsuku Ame (Pelting Rain) - Offensive. The user cuts the opponent horizontally, which causes 4 geysers of water to erupt. [Rain Flame] can be used as a substitute if theirs no water.

8th Form: Beccata di Rondine (Swallow's Beak) - Offensive. To use it, the user rapidly thrusts the katana numerous times towards a target with one hand, much like a flock of attacking swallows, hence the technique's name.

I looked at my stats with a satisfied smile in my face, while pretending to read a book in my hands. After grinding every evening, nearly getting myself killed in some of those situations, gaining new skills and training with them left we with a sense of satisfaction at my small achievements.

On a side note, I've been 'looking' through the school with my [Vongola Hyper Intuition] and noticed a few more Devil auras around and they mostly came from members of the Student Council. So, the entire Student Council are Devils and their boss must be the Student Councel President, Souna Shitori.

"Hello, is Raiga Kōjiro-kun in here?" I heard a feminine voice asked, bringing me back to reality. Nearly everyone, expect me, screamed in joy. Looking towards the person who called out to me, I saw a busty girl with long blond hair, grey eyes and a mole underneath her left eye. Like all female students, she wore the girl's student uniform.

MP: 200/200 Regen: 2.4 per minute

"Yes?" I asked curiously as the pretty girl walked towards my desk, having a hunch on why she's here. I noticed that I've gained a few outraged looks from the boys of the class and even a few girls, I guess it's because at how calm I asked Kiba.

She stopped near my table and gave me a bright smile. If it was the old me, I would be a blushing mess from see a smile from a beauty such as her right now but thanks to [Gamer's Mind], I have more control on my emotions.

"I need you-" Kiba said before turning towards Hyōdō "-and Ichigo Hyōdō-san to come with me to the [ORC]."

[EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!]

"The pervert!?"

"How is this happening!?"

"NO!!! Our [Princess] is going to get corrupted by Hyōdō!"

My classmates made their shock verbal as the entire room erupted in a roar of confusion. Each and every last 1 of them shot a look towards the [2nd most perverted girl], who was confused and shocked as well.

"Why?" I asked, gaining the attention of everyone in the room.

"Gremory-senpai wants to talk to both of you." Kiba answered back.

I nodded "Sure, lead the way."

_________________________________________

I stared at the old school building we (Kiba, Hyōdō and I) are walking towards behind the school. I have to admit it, the place is well-maintained and rather fitting for the hideout for supernatural beings.

Kiba finally broke the silence that had somehow fallen upon us "Buchou is here."

I raised an eyebrow. Buchou? Is she talking about Rias Gremory?

As we made our inside the building and up some stairs 2 the second floor, I can't felt but feel a very dark energy... What the hell is in this place other than the Devils?

We kept on walking before stopping before a specific room with a sign over the door:

[Occult Research Club]

...I see. This club is nothing more but a front to hide the real activities, which are Devil related events.

"Buchou, I have brought them." Kiba said to whomever was on the other side of the door.

There were a few seconds of waiting before a voice replied "Yes. Come in."

I followed the blonde-haired princess into the room and I had to admit, I'm a little surprised but some part of me expected what I saw. The entire room was covered in various weird signs and symbols that looked like some sort of magic circles. There was an especially large one right in the middle of the room. There were a couple of sofas and desks scattered around the room.

On 1 of said sofas sat an adorable little white-haired girl with hazel coloured eyes, eating youkan. She wears the Kuoh Academia girls' school uniform without the shoulder cape. I don't know why... But I have this urge to pet her right now.

[Observe]

Character Name: Koneko Tōjō

Fame: Most adorable girl in Kuoh

HP: 300/300 Regen: 1 per hour

MP: 120/120 Regen: 0.5 per minute

After a few seconds of looking at her and getting a feel on her aura, I realised that she was the stalker for last week. She has a sleepy expression as she continued eating her youkan. She turned to Kiba, Hyōdō and I as we entered the room, acknowledging our arrival.

Kiba walked forward and gestured slightly to me and the brunette beside me "This is Raiga Kōjiro-kun and Ichigo Hyōdō-san."

Koneko nodded to me "Nice to meet you."

I nodded back, acknowledging her greeting "Likewise."

"K-konichiwa." Hyōdō greeted her with a small bow. The petite girl then return to her youkan.

[SHA-]

That is when I heard the sound of flowing water. I blinked. A shower? A little out of place in a place like this. I looked towards the back of the room where a shower curtain had been drawn closed. I could make out a shadow behind it.

The shadow of a girl. So a girl was taking a shower in the middle of a clubroom filled with other people... What clubroom has a shower?

Then I heard the sound of the water being turned off, as the person using it probably became aware of my presence.

"Buchou, take this." I heard another voice that did not belong to the shadow.

"Thank you, Akeno." If I had made a bet, I would've won by a landslide due to the obviousness that the shadow had been Rias Gremory.

"...what a lecherous face." I heard Koneko mutter so quietly, it was almost inaudible. I rose an eyebrow in confusion before noticing the lecherous face on Ichigo Hyōdō's face...

Why am I not surprised that she's a lesbian... Or maybe she plays both sides?

I looked at the curtain as it opened to reveal boss in her school uniform. Her wet hair made her look very seductive, but I have more control in my hormones. She smiled when she turned to me and Hyōdō, I just raised my hand in a lazy wave for a greeting.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't take a shower last night because I stayed the night at your place, so I took a shower now." She said while putting on her school uniform.

I blinked at the info in confusion for a bit before realisation hit me on the head, she must be talking about Hyōdō.

Then I looked behind Rias Gremory to see another person standing behind her. She was apparently the resident Yamato Nadeshiko and was admittedly beautiful just like Gremory.

[Observe]

Character Name: Akeno Himejima

Alignment: Peerage of Rias Gremory

LvL: 30

Profession: Student of Kuoh Academia, Devil, Half-Fallen, Vice-president of the ORC and Queen of Rias Gremory.

Title: 1 of the Great Onee-samas, Queen of Rias Gremory, Priestess of Thunder and Ultimate Sadomasochist

Fame: 2nd most popular girl in Kuoh

HP: 300/300 Regen: 1 per hour

MP: 500/500 Regen: 0.5 per minute

Her smile... I feel that there's more that smile then meets the eye... Especially when I read the [Title] of [Ultimate Sadomasochist] from her.

"Ara ara. Hello, my name is Akeno Himejima. Pleased to make your acquaintance." She introduced herself in a polite manner. I can tell that it's just a front, yet it feels so natural at the same time... She must a good liar like the rest of the people here, besides me and Hyōdō.

I bowed politely. "Raiga Kōjiro. Nice to meet you, Himejima-san."

"K-konichiwa." I saw Hyōdō greeted her with a blush on her face, the brunette's eyes locked in a particular area and I didn't need to look to know that Hyōdō is looking at Himejima-san's breasts.

Once all of the introductions had been completed, Rias Gremory-san had apparently decided it was time to get down to business "Looks like everyone is here. Raiga Kōjiro-kun, Ichigo Hyōdō-chan. No, let me call you two Rai and Ichigo."

I crossed my arms with a disapproving frown "I mean no disrespect Gremory-san, but calling someone with nicknames is a way to show that 2 people are friends... And last time I checked, You and I aren't friends." I said back, getting a frown from her.

"I don't mind." Hyōdō said a bit quietly, bringing the red head back to business.

"Alright then, Kōjiro-kun and Ichigo... We, the Occult Research Club, welcome you 2 as Devils."

"Eh?" I heard Hyōdō gasped out in confusion.

"I believe you..." I started, surprising everyone in the room.

"Y-you do?" Gremory-san asked in shock and confusion in her voice, clearly not expecting me to say those words and that's something mirrored by the others in the room right now.

"...As much I believe that pigs can fly in the air." I finished sarcastically. Despite already knowing that I'm a Devil way before, that doesn't mean that I don't want to mess with her head right now.

I mentally smirked when I noticed that Gremory-san's left eyebrow twitch in annoyance. I heard Himejima-san giggle in amusement, I noticed the dumb folded expression on Kiba and Hyōdō's faces while Tōjō stared at me with deadpanned eyes.

Gremory-san cleared her throat before shaking her head "I assure you. This is the truth. You are not being deceived, Kōjiro-kun."

"I doubt it. There's no way that anything you're telling us can be true, since that there's no evidence on your claim." I 'argued' back, seeing that playing like a none-believer would be more believable.

"I... Have to agree with Kōjiro here, Gremory-senpai." Hyōdō said, a bit unsure on what's happening right now.

Of course my argument didn't last long as I saw Germory-san lay something down on the table in front of us. A photo of attractive black-haired girl with violet eyes in picture.

"Y-yūma..." I heard Hyōdō muttered out loud in disbelief, looks like the girl in the picture has a former relationship with her and, from what I can eyes, it didn't end well.

"Yūma Amano." Were the first 2 words Gremory-san said "That day, you were on a date with Yūma Amano, right?"

"...as must I wouldn't like to interrupt you and your suffering, Hyōdō. But I have my part time job, so I have to go now." I suddenly said while turning around and walking towards the door.

"Wait!" Gremory-san called out to me, causing me to turn around and look at her again in mild annoyance. I was serious about my part time job and I didn't want to get fired for being late "You want proof? Then we'll show you! Akeno, Yumi, Koneko!"

[Hai, Buchou!]

All 3 people immediately stood at attention, behaving as though Gremory-san's word is law. The red head stood as well, possessing an amused expression, as though she were about to do something fun. Wings sprouted from her back. Midnight-black, bat-like wings that were as apparent as the nose on his own face. Not just her, but Kiba, Himejima-san and Tōjō as well. All 4 of them sprouted wings with appearances similar to those of bats.

And then I felt an odd sensation on my own back. Not unpleasant, but abnormal. Having a faint idea as to the cause, I slowly turned my head to look behind me to see the same black wings as theirs, poking right out of my own back.

Looking back at Gremory-san to see her with a smug expression on her face, like she's victorious against me. How foolish, she didn't even realised that she's been the person who has been played with from the beginning.

I let out a sigh, before crossing my arms "Alright, I'll stay and listen for a while..." I just hope that Yamamoto-san won't fire me for being late.
