Chapitre 43: Chapter 45
Volume1: The high school life begins
It had been a week since Naruto rescued Rias from her engagement with Riser Phenex and things had returned to normal, as normal as it could be under the circumstances anyway.
A week ago, Rias had told Naruto that she needed to do a few things first before going with him to the human world. Naruto always wondered what Rias was doing during that time as she had begun to act a bit strangely the past week. Rias didn't let him come near her room at the Gremory Castle or her house at the human world even for just a visit. She said that it would ruin the surprise she had in store for him. When Rias told Naruto that, Akeno began to tease Rias a lot more, even for her. Meanwhile, Koneko just looked at her master with a more expressionless face than usual, if that was even possible.
Unfortunately, that was the least of his problems…
First, the girls had fully grown up to become beautiful girls in their own ways and were incredibly attractive. Now, Naruto didn't have the problems other males would face when they were surrounded by beautiful girls. He is considered an absolutely pure soul even by the high standards of an Archangel like Gabriel for a reason after all. The problem was that ever since Naruto fought and won against Riser's entire Peerage by himself, he had become a celebrity of sorts in the underworld.
Naruto understood the consequences his actions that day would have, there was no way people were going to ignore his achievements after that stunt. So Naruto was prepared to face the amount of attention he would get, in fact it was kind of like the first few months when he stayed at Gremory Castle, only on a larger scale. What he wasn't prepared for was the frequent arguments and fights he had to resolve between his female admirers and companions.
Akeno's teasing and the resulting 'spars' between Rias and Akeno that were demolishing the Gremory Clan gardens weren't helping matters either.
And then there was the matter between him and Ravel, Naruto was practically a member of the Gremory Clan while Ravel was a full blooded member of the Phenex clan. Both sides agreed that Ravel was still too young to get married and decided to wait a few more years for her to fully mature. Plus, it also gave both Naruto and Ravel time to decide whether they truly wanted to be together.
Both the families agreed that the engagement would only be carried out if they both were willing, the lesson of Rias and Riser's disastrous engagement still fresh on their minds.
Rias wasn't pleased about the fact that Ravel may get married with Naruto before her but she accepted the fact. One reason was because there still was a chance for her to get married to Naruto first since he didn't say anything about marrying Ravel first.
The other reason was because she liked Ravel as a person and was very thankful for her caring for him when he went to Heaven two years ago. Still, that didn't stop Rias and Akeno muttering something about being the first girl after Rias's parents decided Naruto could choose his own partner if he wanted to.
However, the one girl in the Gremory Clan who was openly displeased about the arrangement was Koneko. Naruto guessed that feline and avian could never stay with each other without having a fight, his fight with Riser being a prime example. However, his intuition was telling him that there was something more to the matter than at first glance.
And there was the problem with his new peerage. Basically, they had been traded from Riser to Naruto. However as Naruto didn't take the latest promotion so he still couldn't have any authority over them in a Rating Game or anything like that. Naruto remembered what happened a week ago, when he met them in Gremory territory, where the girls decided to move to instead of staying at the Phenex's territory like before.
(Flashback.)
"What did you just say Naruto-sama?" Yubelluna said out in shock while the other girls looked at him with wide eyes "You know we can't do that."
"Can you repeat that again Naruto-sama? I think I still don't understand." Xuelan asked with a frown, with some of the girls around her already had tears in their eyes.
"Lle-chan, Nel-chan, please calm down!" Naruto tried to calm the green hair twins down when he saw them almost crying, Ravel was standing behind him in concern "I'm not going to leave you girls. It's just the higher ups forbid me from having you girls as an official Peerage until I become a high class devil."
Naruto want to sigh seeing the girls in front of him. He wondered why everything had turned out like this. The information of Naruto defeating Riser Phenex and his peerage have gone to the higher-ups, or should he say the elder council. They have summoned him to their office and forbid Naruto from having any authority over his new peerage, citing his rank as a low class devil and his relative inexperience as an excuse, saying that who knew what could happen if he couldn't control the girls and let them become stray devils.
Naruto nearly snapped when the elders said those words, he nearly transformed into his Kyuubi form again but calmed down when he thought about it a bit further. Even though the elders said those words with a straight face, everyone knew that they were scared of Naruto's power if he went stray. The boy had become powerful over the years and they planned to keep the boy from having even more power until they could be absolutely sure that he could handle all his abilities. He admitted it was a good reason and that they had ultimately good intentions, as a devil like him going stray with his Peerage would be disastrous for the Devils. That didn't mean he had to like it though.
