Chapter 2: Chapter 2
"Please go out with me!"
Hyoudou Issei was anything but a normal high school student. On the surface, he might be, but after a few years of seeing the worst the world had to offer, most of his innocence hadn't been scrubbed away as much as it had been retched from his soul. He still attended school, still did his homework, still did a few odd jobs here and there to make ends meet, and still ogled (peeped) girls at every chance.
He was quite average looking. He wasn't handsome, but he wasn't hideous either. Most would say he was boring to look at. Which was good because of his hobby hardly anyone gave him a second glance… unless he got caught of course.
Though he was far more fit than a normal high school student should be, the way he wore his uniform over a long sleeve undershirt left him looking like a scrawny weakling. Whenever he changed for physical education he kept on the undershirt so no one would see the series of muscles underneath.
…Or what lay on his back.
Issei would have to say he did everything he could within his power to avoid attention like the plague. And it was working so far. It also wasn't that hard to do. Why, even Rolan-sempai encouraged it when the shrimp suggested he should continue being a pervert, to the extreme no less! Perverts never get much recognition other than to be despised by everyone around them. They were rejected by society most of the time and quite shunned.
So, other than his fellow perverts Matsuda and Motohama, no one ever gave him the bit of time to get to know him.
It was a sad and lonely life, but he at least had the company of his seven senpais if he ever asked. But he didn't because they all scared the living shit out of him, especially the Divine Beast and the Dragon Slayer, the former hating him for being a pervert while the latter was his natural enemy.
So, Issei was at first confused as all hell when this girl approached him on his way home and asked him out. She was very cute, no doubt a highly popular girl with the boys at her school.
However, Issei couldn't trace a hint of honesty coming from her.
"I think you have the wrong guy," Issei sighed.
This wouldn't be the first time a girl had asked him out. And not once had they done so because they wanted to. Always, always, always they had done so because they lost some bet or this was some rite of passage. He was known as the 'ultimate test'— such was the fate of a super pervert like him.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun, a second-year at Kuoh Academy," the girl responded. She blushed, bowed her head, and fiddled with her hands.
"M-My name is Amano Yuuma. And I've b-been wanting to meet you for some time. B-But if you don't want to…"
There it was again, that trace of insincerity. Her words weren't forced, but they weren't natural either. Without a reason of a doubt, she was deceiving him.
"Okay!"
…But Issei was a pervert before he was anything else. So what if this girl was going to go on a date with him with impure motives? He was a huge sucker for cute girls and this performance was the best one so far with the way she was behaving and expertly putting on blush.
He felt weak in the knees with how kowaii~ she was behaving.
"R-Really?" the girl looked up with hope in her eyes.
"Un!" Issei nodded vigorously. He was so excited steam was about to shoot from his nostrils.
Yuuma gave a lovely smile as she said, "Then please meet me at the shopping center tomorrow at noon."
With that, she turned and fled in haste with a large blush covering her face. And Issei shot a fist into the air in triumph as though he had achieved the unachievable, despite it being given to him.
However, when he turned away to continue onward home, he did not miss the presence of murderous intent coming from the girl. As one who had been surrounded by it constantly throughout his exhibitions, he hadn't grown numb to it but had been able to acknowledge and shrug it off.
Killing intent wasn't some actual presence often expressed in anime. It was a concept in which can only be assumed by the intended like any other emotion.
Love, hate, joy, sorrow— these such things had to be recognized by reading body language and nothing else. Killing intent wasn't something that floated in the air and struck him like an arrow.
Yet, because of what he was, Issei had been able to sense what his favorite anime heroes could. This girl, without a doubt, was planning his death. The smart thing to do would be to avoid her from here on out. Some of his senpais would strike her down now just to avoid any future problems.
But, again, Issei was a pervert before he was one of them. He was going to spend as much time with the super cute girl as he could. He might even get the chance to take the first step into achieving his ultimate goal.
To build a harem!
