Chapter 8: Chronicle 5: Kuoh Academy
Hi, everyone, it's Zero, the devil arms <Yamato>, Devil Bringer and my demonic side are awakened and I have a lot of training to do but today I have school and hope not to attract the attention of the Devil s at the school before I finish my program. But given my luck, it's not likely to happen.
I go home practicing while my Shundo in making sure nobody sees me and then arrived home in time to take a shower and have breakfast, after my shower I notice in the bathroom mirror that I have white streak that appears on my hair and not only that my look is more wilder while remaining cool and my body starts showing the effort of training
Zero: It must be Sparda's blood
I didn't think the change would be immediate it seems that my compatibility with the black knight is very high, then I put bandages on both my hands to hide the runes on this one and then I put on my uniform via the inventory and head to the dining room for the breakfast.
Zero: Hello Dad, Mom, Illya, Kuro, Miyu
Dad: Hello Zero.... (spit out his coffee)
Mom: What is it, honey? Ara...Maa
My family looks with their eyes wide open when they see my appearance
Dad/Mom/ Illya/ Kuro/ Miyu: Who are you?
Zero: Zero desu
While Dad and Illiya recover of seeing my new look, my mom looks at me with dangerous eyes like a predator that found it prey and she didn't hide it that give me shivers as she put her hand on my streak of white hair
Zero (mind): Hey mom, I don't mind mom-son skinship but if you think of me like that it's no, and you dad stop mom she scares me
Mom: What did you do to your hair that surprised me?
Zero: I don't know maybe my puberty kicking now, and for my hair, I wanted to change how I look that all
Yamato: <Master shouldn't have to tell your family about our existence and about the supernatural? >
' I don't want to lie to them but I'm not strong enough to protect myself if they're exposed to this world. And something tells me I don't need to tell them '

Dad: Okay, but next time consult us when you make changes like that.
Zero: What do you think of your big brother's new look?
I asked my little sister
Kuro: Onii-chan is cool!
Illiya: Onii-chan look like a superstar
And Miyu only give me a smile
Zero: Thank you
I stroke Kuro's head while smiling at her, as this is the first time that her brother pet her head Kuro's lets herself be overwhelmed by the feeling of joy and affection that she was longing for him
Illiya: Kuro is lucky, I want Onii-chan to pet my head also
Tell Illiya a little jealous of Kuro then I also pat Illiya heads then Miyu head
What surprises their parents is that their son smiles again and shows affection for his little sisters is something they haven't seen in a long time.
Zero: We should finish eating if we don't want to be late Itadakimasu
3 Sisters: Itadakimasu
After breakfast the girls and I and pick up our Bentos in addition of the pastries that have stayed from the day before and then left together for school during the journey the girls stayed behind and talk to themselves, saying no words, I decided to walk at my sister's level and started talking to them about everything and nothing about the school of their hobbies and many other things that gave them a smile.
When I arrived near the school I used [Observe] on all the students it increases by 3 levels I separated myself from the girls who look at me with beaten dog eyes I had to promise to have lunch with them so that she would leave because they going to the elementary school part of the academy and I go to the entrance gate of the high school.
When I arrive I was flabbergasted although in the anime and novel the number of girls is greater than the number of boys (ratio 4/1) it seems normal but living the situation live there is enough to be confused with lots of pretty girls everywhere I understand why Issei and his friends never get tired of watching the girls in school and the school is mega-giant.
Normally Zero goes unnoticed but with the changes I had almost all the girls staring at me whispering about my hair color and appearance, I keep walking as if I hadn't noticed. Arriving in front of the gate once again, I was caught off guard by the beauty of one of the important characters of the DxD plot.
Sona Sitri is a beautiful young woman with glasses, short black hair, square cut and purple eyes that complemented her incredibly beautiful face.
She was small at chest level, but her slim waist, wide hips, incredible ass and thicker, more toned legs more than compensated for this feeling. I decided to use [Observe] before she noticed that I was staring at her.
Name: Sona Sitri
LVL: ?
Title: Heiress of the Sitri clan
HP: ? /?
MP: ? /?
Sona Sitri is the heiress of the Sitri clan, one of the 72 pillars of the underground world. She is president of the student council of the Kuoh Academy. She is very strict with her accusations but kind and understanding. Her hobbies play chess with his friend and rival Rias Gremory and study. She loves her sister very much, even if she is easily exasperated and annoyed by her.
It seemed to me that I was still too weak to see all her abilities, even with [Observe].
However, what [Observe] told me was more than enough to get a good idea of Sona's character. I admit that she is one of the girls I want to know the most because I like her personality a little too analytic but good at heart, I approached the portal and she finally sees me and I noticed that she was quite surprised by my appearance
Sona: Hello Akatsuki-san. It's a surprise to see you arrive earlier
she commented as a greeting as I approached her. I stopped by her side and noticed that many boys were looking at me with murderous eyes as I started talking to the third most popular girl in the academy. To tell you the truth...
[ skill has been created by a special action. ]

Description: A skill that detects any thirst for blood directed at the user. It is an instinctive skill. Detects bloodthirst within a radius of twenty meters from the target's location. It also alerts the user of the location.
I smiled at that in my head and ignored the pitiful attempts to stop me from talking to Sona, so I directed a shrug in her direction.
Zero: Hello Kaicho, for arriving so early, some situations at home made me realize that the way I was acting was not the right way and then I wanted to change how people perceive me so as not to cause problems for my family.
I replied to Sona, who seemed surprised by my admission, she gave me a sign of approval.
Sona: I see, I'm happy because your actions over the past few months have left much to be desired, but if you're ready to change for the better, then whatever happened to you, it's a good thing, all things considered. I look forward to seeing you live up to your full potential
She said and sent me back with a look.
I nodded and began to walk away to the school with Sona Sitri's eyes glued to my back.
Heading to where my classroom was located, I started to spam [Observe] on my classmates. I managed to get another level on [Observe] as I arrived in my classroom and sat at the back near the window.
I remember that I'm the few boys in this class but I don't talk more than necessary with the girls this gives me the nickname of "Lone wolf of Kuoh ".
The girl looks surprised because they don't recognize me at first and think I was a new student when they come to talk to me and I tell them that it's me Zero they realized who I was.
I was also hoping that not many people while suspecting my new personality.
Then entered the classroom two girls I know for the DxD Murayama and Katase, they are the most popular members of the Kendo club. In the anime, they beat up Issei and the other two perverts for watching them all the time.
During the whole morning I studied how to make a Build Driver and a Ziku Driver with all the knowledge of Kiriyu Sento and Katsuragi Takumi as there is no Pandora box or Full-Bottle and Nebula Gas in the DxD world, I decided to use magic to replace the essence and make Full-Bottles and then Riderwatches, it shouldn't be a problem.
During physics class when the teacher sees that I was busy writing in my notebook and not listening to his class he called me to the board to answer the question, of physics, when I get to the board I look at the formula which is the university level.
I look at the teacher as if he was waiting for me to tell him that I can't answer it then lots of equations rush into my head I scratch my head then a lock of hair rises from my head then I answer the question which is correct and I also correct the error the teacher made in his lesson then I go back to my seat under the amazed eyes of my comrades and my teacher.
Zero(mind): 'Easy I have the knowledge of a genius physicist in my head it's a piece of cake'
I think myself with the most neutral expression possible
Yamato: <Good job Master>
[ You won +1 in INT and WIS ]
During the break, I went looking for Issei so I might as well start being friends with him. But I didn't find him, I went all over the school, I even asked around nobody knows him, and the perverted duo is not here.
Which normally leaves me perplexed, he should be in first year, I think of three possibilities:
1- Issei is in another school
2- Something happened to Issei in his youth and he is somewhere else
3-Issei does not exist in this universe and someone fulfills his role (if there is not one, I will have to do it)
4- Maybe he'll be enrolled only next school year
So I'll have to wait until the beginning of the main plot to see if he will appear or not, because in my current state I can't even fight with a low-class devil or a fallen angel, if I have to replace Issei as best I can, then I go back to my class.
As I returned to my class I passed near the corner of the corridor and bumped into someone and found myself on my butt, looking at the person I pushed and it was Tsubaki Shinra, the vice-president of the student council
Zero: Sorry, are you all right? I'm sorry I'm not looking where I was going.
??? : It's not your fault... are you alright?
Zero: Yes I'm alright
By helping Tsubaki to get up I notice that her face blushing in a little while
Zero: I'm for 1-B Zero Akatsuki how should I call you sempai?
Tsubaki: Please to meet you Akatsuki-kun I'm from 2-A Tsubaki Shinra
Zero: Nice to meet Shinra-sempai and still really sorry for earlier as compensation I would like to give you this
I put my hand in my pocket and take out a pack of Kastera from the day before that I had set aside for lunch and give it to Tsubaki.
Tsubaki: You should not
Zero: Don't be so reserved, I have to go back to class until next time
Then I go back to class leaving Tsubaki perplexed, during the rest of the morning I continue to follow in class what gave me +2 INT
When the lunch bell rang I got ready to head towards one of the cherry trees where Illiya, Kuro, Miyu and I will have to have lunch when I notice noise in the hallway as I leave the classroom I see the cause of all the noise Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima whereas they are called Kuoh's One-Sama I look around me all the girls are in admiration and all the boys have their heads full of lust.
I do not want to interact with these two more than necessary I summarize my path what does not escape these two because I am not blinded by their beauty and ignores them as if it does not exist what arouses the curiosity of a redhead.
When I arrive at the meeting point I see my sisters but also my cousin Ruruko waiting for me but the person with her leaves me perplexed by all the probabilities that it will happen, it has to be on me that it will happen to, a little girl of about 15 years old with white hair and hazel eyes.
On the front, her hair has two long fringes that extend beyond her shoulders and several loose fringes that hang on her forehead, while her back has short hair.
She also wore a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her head. Wearing the female uniform characteristic of the Kuoh Academy, but without the shoulder cloak.
Zero: Yo everyone, sorry to have been long.
Ruruko: Zero-Nii, no we just arrived and I introduce you to my friend and classmate Toujo Koneko
Zero: Nice to meet you Toujo-san, I'm Illiya, Kuro and Miyu older brother and Ruruko cousin, Zero Akatsuki
Koneko: Nice to meet you Akatsuki-sempai.
She answered me with her monotonous voice
We have lunch under the cherry tree I take the rest of the cakes I made the day before for Miyu out of my inventory from my bag not to look suspicious we eat our lunch calmly while enjoying the time, and I notice that Koneko eats at a speed not possible almost all the cakes I took there have been eaten and she looks satisfied with the taste of the latter after finishing eating the girls are going to get drinks at the machine during this time I lie against the cherry tree looking at the sky
Zero (mind): Koneko has been staring at me during all the lunch I guess she must have felt that I wasn't completely human I don't have enough control over my mana and demonic energy although I regress my aura not to attract attention but with a Nekoshou I'm busted but the damage is already done I must do with it
Zero: What's up Toujo-san, do you want to ask me something?
Koneko: Sempai, you're not human, are you?
Zero: * sigh * I wanted to remain anonymous for the time being, you're right that I'm a half-human/half-demon, even though I was human a few days ago.
Koneko is suspicious and warns herself although I remain in my place with my eyes closed.
Koneko: For whom do you work, what are your intentions?
Zero: Calm down Toujo-san I don't work for anyone and yes I know that this city is the territory of the Gremory and Sitri family and I just want to live my peaceful life with my family. Of course, if someone or something threatens my tranquility or that of people close to me.
My eyes flash red for a moment and then return to normal
Zero: Know that I don't want to hurt you or your friends.
Koneko: Why are you telling me this?
Zero: First you are Miyu's friend, second a person who eats my food with such enthusiasm can't be a bad person and even if I wanted to I couldn't do anything against you.

Zero: What about your verdict?
Koneko: Sempai doesn't seem hostile and the cakes were very good.
Zero: Say could you do a favor for me Toujo-san?
Koneko: What?
Zero: Could you not tell your master anything about my true nature until she discovered it by herself, of course, I would make you sweets as payment, please.

Then the girls came back with the juice and the bell that announces the end of lunch rings and I went back to my class without noticing that Rias Gremory is watching me from the Occult Club in the old building and Sona from the student council room.
