THE DEVIL BACK IN DXD !

The previous night certainly did break my boring routine. I woke up quite early today, around seven o'clock— Kiryūin is undoubtedly a messy sleeper, during the night she would occasionally hit me with her hand on my face or cling to me intensely, not that it bother me though.

She was on break today, just like all second years so I used teleportation to leave bed without waking her up, as I don't see any purpose in so. I covered her with the bed sheet and made sure to lock my room with sealing magic from the outside but openable from the inside.

Next I proceeded to take my breakfast then leave to school. After classes, there's the tutorial lessons or TCs in short. Also, I was signed up to a swordsmanship club, in the afternoon, our private coach organized a little tournament and I ended up crushing everyone up, after the finale, I got challenged by Manabu Horikita himself who witnessed the duels and wanted to test out my limits. I accepted surely his request for a duel.

The fight starts. Three minutes in...

Clack Clash Clench

Manabu swinged his wooden katana in all directions as he tried to break through my impenetrable defense but I deflected every single one of his hits with ease, my power far surpassed his and the momentum thrown at me was actually knocking him back.

"Not bad, Manabu. But it's time to end this." My katana was starting to decay from lack of durability so I swinged my sword horizontally with force so great I threw his weapon very far away, out of his range, this caused my katana to break in half.

Still...

During that moment of confusion from his, I pointed the sharp broken tip of my katana at his neck which declared myself winner of this post-finale.

"Stop! Morningstar-kun wins!!" The coach says. The crowd then erupts into sheers and shouts as well as claps to congratulate my victory.

Even Manabu takes his time to smile and clap his hands, cheering even though he lost. "That was a refreshing duel, Shiro-san. I'll get to you someday. But for now, you're the best when it comes to sword-handling." He said.

It's his way to invite me to the student council. He's already demanded me this one proposition many times considering my grades, charisma, talent and popularity, even offering me exclusive privileges as vice-president and a guarantee to beckne president next year, but I always decline his offers, it's not like I would stick to this world much longer before moving on.

The coach came at me and felicited me personally. He grinned in satisfaction then put his hand in my shoulder casually, "That was some amazing show of power you just displayed there, Shiro. I can see some great potential in you, this is not something I ever asked anyone but... Did you ever think about going professional?" He asked me.

Ha...

I get this same question from every club teacher. The answer is always "No. I'm sorry but I think of this activity as a simple time killer nothing more, nothing else." I told him, which disappointed him.

'...Damn. What a waste of talent... This kind of geniuses, you see them only once in a century...' He said innerly as he watched me leave to the banch.

There, some girls were staring at me as if wanting to talk to me. The three most notable were Manabu's secretary Akane Tashibana, Ichika Amazawa then Ichinose Honami.

Akane walks to me then immediately starts talking, "Even though I'm saddened by the president's defeat, I must admit I'm impressed by your amazing feats, Shiro-kun." She said with a poker face, trying her best to hide her secret admiration.

"It's nothing. Now if you'll excuse me—" But as I was taking my leave, she held my sleeve then added a sentence, "Please consider the president's offers. I'm sure the student council will thrive more with you backing it up."

'What a silly girl she just wants to see me more she doesn't give two shits about anything else.' I said in my mind.

A smirk appears on my face but I close my eyes and simply say, "I'll do." Before moving on to the next. —Ichika—

"Fufu~ I'd love to continue staying with you, Shiro-kun for the rest of the day but I'll try keeping the mystery factor~ Nice duel, I didn't expect anything less from my secret love~ twink." She said with a grin and a Twink at the end.

"I— I agree with Amazawa-chan! We already knew you were strong but now it's clear that you're definitely the strongest here, Shiro-san!" Ichinose added with pink cheeks of admiration painted on her face.

"Ahem..." All our attentions turned to the origin of this voice, it was none other than Suzune Horikita herself.

"If you may, I'd like ti have a word with you, Shiro." Horikita says, walking away to a more private place.

'Who does she think she is??' Ichinose thinks.

'What impertinence...' Akane says in her mind.

'Did she address him without honorifics? Are they close...?' Ichika thinks.

The girls look at each other, unimpressed by Suzune's behavior. Still, Shiro proceeds to follow Horikita and see what this is all about, "Umm Shiro-kun wait a second! Ichinose gets in front of him, can I please have your number, please...?" She asks, looking in different angles because of embarrassment while smiling bitterly.

"Sure." Shiro replies, giving her a small paper with his phone number written in it. Ichinose thanks him then he leaves with Horikita. Arriving at a more private spot, Horikita and Shiro look at each other for a few seconds.

Then... The two get closer to each other and proceed to kiss each other on the mouth, a passionate and lewd french kiss, both licking and sucking with their tongues while their hands travelled across the other's body.

It's only after a minute that the two calm down and settle down. Suzune looks at Shirk with shiny eyes and a bitter smile, "You were amazing there, Shiro." She says happily

The relationship between these two evolved in a healthy and loving manner. It all started around a year ago when they first met in Class 1—D, Shirt gave his unconditional support to Horikita and helped her get through all obstacles in her both her private life and school life. Shiro did it at first out of pure boredom since he wanted to experience the plot of Classroom of the elite for himself but unbeknownst to him, his simple acts had a huge impact on Horikita and her developing personality, to a point where she started breaking character more often around him and actually smile and laugh, her personality evolved positively and she started trusting him. And when time was up, Horikita suggested a slightly above best friends relationship considering her unchangeable tsundere persona but it was obvious that she was in love with him, of course Shiro found no problem in that and reciprocated the mutual feelings.

Now they're a couple madly in love with each other and Shiro is probably the only one to have seen that caring and womanly side of Suzune, not even her brother, the student council president Manabu knew about this secret relationship between him and his sister, not like he could do anything to be honest.

"I love you, Suzune." Shiro said with a smile on his face. Suzune's eyes widen for a bit and her mouth slightly opens in shock, her expression flusters and she tries not to show a lot of emotions, her heart and mind were in a great conflict.

But in the end her heart always won.

Suzune smiles then reciprocates, "I love you too, Shiro. You were always a great support in my life." She said in admiration and happiness.

"I'm happy ti hear that, he says while swaying her silk and smooth hair, What's the plan for this afternoon?" He asks, curious.

"Nothing much, I'm thinking about spending some time to study and plan for the next events. Things have been very calm these last moments, it feels suspicious. I don't like it." She says.

'If it's suspicious then it means that it's gonna be interesting...' Shiro thinks.

"What do you think if I come to your dorm and study together with you, we could enjoy some time face to face, maybe watch a movie, eat snacks— if you're down for it." He suggests.

This proposition surprises Suzune, but instead of feeling flabbergasted for a while, she responds with a smile and accepts, mentioning that it could be very productive to be in his company.

And suddenly, a robotic voice makes itself heard inside Shiro's mind.

(( Ding! Skill [Absolute World Travelling] has been successfully created and ready to use at a moment's notice! Congratulations, Lord Morningstar! ))

'So it's finally time huh.' Shiro responds.

"Well I'm looking forward for our meeting this afternoon, Horikita. Take care." Shiro says, abruptly taking his leave which surprises Suzune, she wasn't expecting him to be leaving so soon.

Then, she lifts her arm and waves her hand in goodbye.

And then, the world turns gray and shatters as Shiro stopped the motion of time, preparing to leave. A gate appears in front of him and swallows him whole. Onwards to the next anime world— Highschool DxD pre-canon!
