章節 294: Truth

"PICK YOUR LEGS UP ATSUI!"

"LETS GO AKASHIYA!"

"YOU BETTER HUSTLE SAIZOU!"

While each of the students Alex called out to, along with those around them, picked up their pace while jogging around the schools track, the last person practically started sprinting in order to avoid a repeat of the mornings incident. Alex nodded approvingly from the side as he watched them run, before giving a quick glance at the actual P.E. teacher who was simply standing off to the side while Alex made sure the students kept going, Kotsubo Okuto. He had a somewhat 'cool guy' appearance with slicked back blonde hair, but Alex was keeping an eye on him for several reasons, one of which being that he could tell he was eyeing some of the girls in the class. Alex was technically the assistant teacher after the conversation he had with Mikogami, but the later had mentioned that should something happen to Okuto he would become the head gym teacher for the year. As he recalled that Alex also thought back to some of the things they had talked about earlier.

*Earlier*

"So what is the real reason you want to teach at my school? I truly doubt it's for such a mundane reason as 'I'm here for a year so I might as well'." Alex shrugged and replied,

"Well it's not wrong, but I guess you could say I'm also looking for potential combatants to join me." At hearing this however Mikogami's smile faded as the surroundings became tense, and he demanded,

"And do intend to have Moka Akashiya join you?" Alex nodded slowly at his question, which made he situation even tenser as Mikogami stated,

"Whatever you're doing, don't involve Moka Akashiya! You have no idea the powers or truth behind her!" Alex frowned as he was slightly caught off guard, due to the fact that Mikogami never actually seemed to show Moka such consideration originally. However after thinking about it for a moment it made sense, as there was a bit of a difference between the fights she was first involved in in the series, and some person seemingly targeting her. Alex decided to take a gamble, and stated,

"Actually I know everything about her background, and her connection." There was a beat of silence before Mikogami barely reacted, though it was obviously he was shaken from what Alex said. The "truth" regarding Moka's background was a lot more than even she thought, as she was told her vampiric nature caused a lot of problems and was sealed because of that. The truth of the matter however, goes back centuries to the oldest and most powerful vampires, the Shinso.

The Shinso lived in the land known as Wallachia, and were ruled over by the most famous and powerful vampire to ever exist, Dracula. Dracula had tried to remove the barriers between humans and monsters to allow them to live in peace, but in the fifteenth century the humans of the surrounding nations attacked them, and slaughtered the entire world population of his kingdom save Dracula himself and a single small Shinso girl. After the slaughter of his people Dracula changed his name and became Alucard instead, a being that set out to do the exact opposite of Dracula's goals and slaughter all of the humans to create a world of only monsters. The girl, who later became known as Akasha Bloodriver, however still believed in peace with the humans and set out by herself to try and achieve this.

Three centuries later however Alucard would start a rampage that was intended to last seven days, as he set out to kill all of the humans while also absorbing any monsters he came across, gaining their powers for himself. Akasha then set out against him along with two companions who shared her ideals of a peaceful world, who would later become known as the three Dark Lords, and launched into battle against the man she once walked beside. After a long and grueling battle in which Alucard seemed impossible to defeat, Akasha and her two companions finally managed to secure victory when she allowed Alucard to eat her as well, where she sealed him from the inside, plunging both into a deep sleep for 170 years.

After being sealed within Alucard for nearly two centuries, Akasha was finally freed by another powerful vampire by the name of Issa Shuzen, before eventually falling for him and birthing him a daughter, Moka Akashiya. However at birth Moka was deathly sick, and so Akasha transferred her own blood into her baby, as well as her Shinso abilities. With their connection after being fused for nearly two centuries, this meant that if Moka's Shinso abilities awoke then so would Alucard, and so when she reached a certain age she was to be sent to live in the human world with her rosary to seal her vampiric powers, but as she left disaster struck the Shuzen household. Even though she was supposed to have already left, Moka returned to their mansion to find her mother sliced into two at the hands of an assassin, and unintentionally woke her Shinso blood, along with Alucard who was slumbering beneath the mansion. Surprisingly Akasha was ok even after being cut in two, as if the whole thing was just a mild inconvenience, however the damage was done and Alucard was awake, and so she was forced to once again seal herself within him to put him back into slumber while the unconscious Moka was taken to safety away from the ruined household by Mikogami. Though he didn't know every detail, Alex outlined the basic story to the stunned Dark Lord before him, before Mikogami demanded,

"So you know the dangers and yet you want to awaken Moka Akashiya's Shinso blood anyways?!" Alex nodded and stated,

"I can defeat Alucard using one of several methods if need be, and so the only issue would be when and where he'd be awoke." Mikogami was dumbfounded when he saw how casual Alex was acting about facing the greatest threat the world had ever seen, leading him to confirm that Alex was either severally underestimating Alucard, or was grossly overestimating his own capabilities. Seeing the turmoil Mikogami was going though, Alex couldn't help but crack a smile. Though it was fairly annoying when he was constantly looked down upon in a new world, it was somewhat entertaining when people tried to grasp just how strong he was using their own "common sense". As if he knew what was going through Mikogami's mind, Alex stated,

"If you doubt my abilities so much, how about a match between us?" Mikogami looked up him suddenly in alarm, but Alex could see interest in the eyes that glowed within the hoods shadows as the edges of his mouth curled up. Alex's own smiled widened as he felt his blood start boiling at the thought of facing Mikogami in combat, but as the tensions started rising they suddenly disappeared, as Mikogami stated,

"As much as I'd really like to accept your challenge, I cannot. I am nearing the end of my own life, and needlessly using my abilities will only prematurely hasten my end, besides I refuse to go before that perverted bastard Touhou." Alex smirked as Mikogami mentioned the third of the Dark Lords, before stating,

"What if I told you that I could restore your youth?" Mikogami looked at him incredulously, but before he could properly react Alex was already behind him and the space around him had been sealed to prevent his movements; even if he wasn't as skilled in Spatial magic as Kuroka, that didn't mean Alex hadn't been training in it when he had the chance.

"W-what are you d-doing?!" Mikogami demanded as best he could, while Alex didn't answer and instead channeled Restoration magic through his body, reversing his age by years, and then decades. Even if none of the changes were drastic, such as affecting his appearance, Mikogami still noticed as strength steadily returned to his body. Alex stopped channeling the magic after reversing just a few decades, and released the Spatial magic locking Mikogami into place, causing him to stagger slightly as he tried to adjust to what just happened.

"What did you do?!" He demanded while Alex smirked before he calmly explained,

"I used a special kind of magic called Spatial magic to hold you in place, and another called Regeneration magic to restore some of your youth. The basic abilties of Restoration magic allows you to restore something to a previous form, but when you've learned its true functions you can even reverse the age of a person. You've already got a taste of its effects, now what do you say to our duel?" There was a pause as Mikogami tried to process what was happening, before a grin spread on his lips and he said,

"Restore my youth, and I'll give you whatever position at the school you want, and I'll most definitely fight you as much as you want!"

*Presently*

In the end Alex got the assistant gym teacher position so that he could interact with the students somewhat, while he and Mikogami had set the date for their match to be in a week, so that he could readjust to his newfound youth. Though Mikogami was still against awakening Moka's Shinso blood, he seemed to be eager to see what made Alex so confident after seeing him perform his previous feats with ease. As the class finished their last lap around the schools track, Okuto made his way over and started giving them instructions to finish warming up before explaining what they were going to be doin for that period. As Alex made his way through the students he passed by Moka, who smiled at him before asking somewhat mischievously,

"So does this mean I have to call you 'Teacher Alex' now?" Even though she was mostly joking Alex nodded and stated,

"And during class I'll have to refer to you as miss Akashiya, but that's only during class." Though she looked slightly dispirited at first, Moka brightened up when she heard they could be more casual outside of class. This was actually something Mikogami brought up when he agreed that Alex could be a teacher, that he didn't mind Alex getting into relationships with female students, but that he couldn't show favoritism or abuse his authority to make them accept him. This was something Alex readily accepted, as he had absolutely no intention to do either of those things. Alex chatted with Moka for a few more seconds before moving on to check on other students, but he could tell that the majority of the boys were practically glaring daggers at his turned back due to how casual he was acting with Moka. This got the attention of a certain light blue haired beautiful girl who batted her eyes charmingly as she saw Alex approach, though her actions had a literal 'Charm' to them. Thanks to his 'Mental Resistance' skill however the only effect the 'Charm' had was alerting Alex that someone had tried to charm him, making him smile wryly as he pointedly ignored the culprit, much to her dumbfoundment.

"Back straight miss Shirayuki." Alex said to a certain purple haired girl, surprising her as he took her attention away from Okuto who was a little ways away. She then got a little annoyed as he helped her right her posture by physically touching her, but she was unaware that he placed a tracing magic onto her at the same time. After everyone was finished stretching it was then time for Okuto to welcome the new students, and to announce what they were doing that day.

***

At the end of the school day Alex found Moka eagerly waiting for him outside the gyms office, before the two started walking around to explore the school together. As they did they gathered the attention of all of the straggling students, boy and girl, as all the boys glared at him with envy, and the girls seemed to be admiring his looks. It admittedly took a while for Alex to notice this, but that had only been because he was used to the envious glares of the guys, and so he hadn't noticed most of the girls looking at him with admiration, and even some longing. Moka on the other hand seemed completely oblivious to all of the looks they were getting, as she eagerly and excitedly dragged Alex around the school grounds until they finally ended up in front of the dorms.

"Doesn't it have such character?" Moka eagerly asked as they admired the dorm building, which looked more like a haunted mansion just like the school. Alex nodded in agreement as he actually felt quite comfortable within the atmosphere of the school and the chilling surroundings, something he contributed to his demonic powers. He then said,

"Sorry Moka, but I think we'll have to call it quits here for today. It was really nice meeting you today." Though she looked slightly saddened, Moka quickly rebounded and asked,

"If you're leaving, then can I maybe have a little sip of blood before you go?" Alex almost face palmed as he recalled that this girl always seemed to prioritize her stomach over everything else. Resisting the urge to roll his eyes he nodded again and said,

"I don't mind, but my bloods fairly potent so try not to over do it." Her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement despite Alex's warning, and the duo quietly made their way to the side so that people didn't see them and misunderstand what they were doing. Moka got closer to Alex as she closed in on his neck, and Alex gently grabbed her waist as if to steady her as he felt her breath on his exposed skin, before there was a sudden pinch as she sunk her fangs into him with the characteristic 'Chu!'. They stood there for nearly a minute as Moka slowly drank blood from his neck, the previous urgency she displayed earlier nowhere to be found as she instead got close enough that Alex could her breasts pressed against his chest. Eventually she let go of him before lightly licking his neck a few times like she had done earlier, as if intending to savor every drop of blood, before saying,

"Thank you for the meal." Despite how close they were she seemed hesitant to move away, until the sound of a twig snapping made her jump away suddenly. As if she suddenly realized how close they were previously Moka started fidgeting with her fingers slightly, while Alex resisted the urge to chuckle before bidding her farewell once more. As he walked away Moka let out a sigh and turned towards her own dorm, but before she left a voice called out,

"How scandalous, the most popular girl in school is already taken, by a teacher no less. I wonder how your fans would react if I confirmed the rumor for them?" Moka turned suddenly as a blue haired girl stepped out from behind a tree, a condescending smirk on her face as she seemingly looked down on her. Feeling hostility from the mysterious women, Moka demanded,

"What do you want?" The woman's smirk disappeared as she pointed at Moka suddenly, and declared,

"My name is Kurumu Kurono, and I came here to declare war on you!"

***

Alex watched the interaction between Moka and Kurumu through his 'Domain' as he slowly walked towards the teachers dorms, mostly to make sure they didn't actually start fighting at the moment. He watched as Kurumu explained her plan to enslave the boys at the school in order to find her "destined one", but it was ruined due to Moka's existence, as all the boys were paying attention to her instead. That was why Kurumu declared that she would steal the one Moka seemed attached to, Alex. He shook his head as she made her declaration as, even though she was actually a succubus, Kurumu was still too inexperienced to be able to seduce him away from anyone, not even counting the fact that her 'Charm' didn't work on him.

With her leaving after making her declaration of war to Moka, Alex stopped spying since it didn't seem as if they'll start fighting, and instead focused on his new "home". The faculty dorm building wasn't too far from the students, but it was a bit more extravagant since the teachers were assuming to actually live there for several years, while the students dorm rooms would change with each year. Alex quickly made his way to his own room, which was similar to a studio apartment with the bedroom and the kitchen in the same room, with only the bathroom being separated. He did appreciate the size though as it was fairly large for only having one room, and he also didn't mind it since he didn't plan to actually stay there unless something happened and he needed to.

"Alright, let's get to work!" Alex said as he started setting up various things around the room, mainly to make it look like he was living there for any future guests he might have. This meant stocking the kitchen, closet, and dresser, and adding several small things here and there like appliances, necessities, or small decorations, he then topped it all off with applying every kind of barrier and protection he could to prevent intruders and spying. After about half an hour of work Alex felt like he really was in a lived in home, before collapsing onto the bed and spreading his 'Domain' to finish his last task before returning to Asora for the night. He needed to know his surroundings in case of an emergency, so he used his 'Domain' to send his consciousness in as wide a circle to take in everything over the next minute, and regretted it almost immediately.

Whenever Alex did this for long periods of time he usually experienced a headache afterwards, similar to Sona when she was transformed into her super devil form for too long, but this time that wasn't all he had to deal with. As he spread his 'Domain' it encompassed the entirety of the faculty dorm, the girls dorm, and most of the boys dorm, and Alex was fed with all of the information within it at once. Wether it was Ririko's second S&M dungeon that was located in the unused dorm next to hers, or Moka's home room teacher Nekonome using her own tongue to clean herself(or at least that's what he hoped she was doing), Alex saw it all firsthand along with whatever every other teacher in the building was doing, no matter how private.

That wasn't all though as he saw the entirety of the girls dorm as well, and the dozens of women within who were even in the middle of their baths, changing their clothes, or enjoying even more intimate and private moments alone. The one he regretted the most however was the look he got into the boys dorm, as he witnessed dozens of teenage boys doing what they do at once, making Alex want to soak his brain in bleach afterwards. It wasn't all bad though as he did manage to achieve what he wanted, which was basically mapping the entire area as well as locating the rooms of several individuals he wanted to keep an eye on. He also learned the specific location of the rooms of Kurumu, who was currently dancing around her room in nothing but a pair of pink panties, and Moka who was one of the ones Alex accidentally caught in the middle of changing as she as well was wearing nothing but a white bra and panties. Though he didn't intend to spy on the two girls, he felt it was good that he knew where they were in case something happened in the near future, as Alex didn't intend to let things take their course in this world. He then focused on the main person he had been looking for, the crimson haired twelve year old boy he had seen that morning with his mother, and focused his intent in his room before transmitting his thoughts,

'Millicas, it's time to head home.' As the young boy heard the familiar voice he jumped up from his bed, and stated,

"Ok, I'll see you there Alex!" The two then used magic to teleport to the manor they had built at the same time, where they were immediately greeted by a purple haired individual in a black suit, who bowed slightly before stating,

"Boss, welcome back. We've been dutifully surveying the property and ensuring there's no trespassers during your absence." Alex nodded before replying,

"Thanks for the effort Rana-"

"Please boss, it's agent R now." Alex was slightly taken aback when the rabbit girl interrupted him, but tried to hide the fact that his lips were curling up slightly at her seriousness, before saying,

"Right, agent R, keep up the good work." Rana saluted him as he walked by with a "sir!", while Alex and Millicas made their way to the elevator that would take them down to the lower levels of the basement. Though the manor they had built was only a few floors high, there were several subterranean levels that were used by those who would be staying there, such as the R.I.B, for housing and training. In the lowest and most secure levels of the basement was the portal to Asora, purposely put there to avoid anyone trespassing once they started poking around the mysterious manor. As Alex and Millicas stepped through the constantly hovering wall of mist, they were immediately met with a gust of chilled air as a few flakes of snow assaulted their faces.

"Brrr, I should've brought an extra coat!" Millicas said as he pulled his uniforms coat tighter around himself, before Alex summoned and gave him an extra sweater, which Millicas swiftly put on before saying his thanks. While he was doing that though, Alex glanced around a bit worriedly before muttering,

"So it's already snowing here, huh?" With each world he went to Alex had noticed that the weather in Asora shifted immediately, starting with spring while he was still in the DXD world, and then transitioning to summer when he went to Tortus. The problem was when he came to the Rosario+Vampire world immediately after leaving Tortus to Arifureta's earth, where they only had a week of fall. Now the temperature was dropping quickly, and while they hadn't gotten to dangerous levels yet, the fact that it was already snowing told a lot. Deciding he needed to talk to the girls about this, Alex quickly teleported himself and Millicas to Misty Manor, where they were immediately greeted by an eager Grayfia who already had a couple cups of hot chocolate ready for them.

"How was your first day of school?" She asked her son, who immediately beamed as he began telling her all about his new school, and the friend he had already made called Yukari, who was only ten because similarly to him she had gotten into the school early due to testing so high. Even though Sona had pouted a bit when Alex suggested it, he had recommended that Millicas try to enter Youkai Academy so that he could actually experience a proper school experience for a year without being tied to the Gremory family like he always had. Up until now he had always been homeschooled, and even if he were to attend Sona's academy then he would mostly be known as a Gremory, this was a chance for him to break away somewhat and grow past the Gremory name. As Millicas was retelling his first day at school, Alex tried to slip away to find the rest of the girls, but Grayfia noticed and seized his ear suddenly before hissing into it,

"Don't think you're off the hook for that stunt this morning." Alex grimaced, but instead of backing down he responded by quickly reaching back and once more grabbing Grayfia's amazing ass, causing her to jump slightly and release his ear as he danced out of her grasp.

"Don't worry, I'll make up for it later!"" Alex stated as he left, leaving Grayfia glaring at his retreating back before she turned her attention back towards her son as he told her all about his new friend. Alex made his way through the manor until he reached the room where several people were gathered, one of the lounges that had a roaring fire going in the giant fireplace. As they noticed him Alex plopped down on a couch between Anne and Serafall, before Rosswiese quickly asked,

"So did you end up becoming a teacher?" Alex nodded and answered,

"I'm the assistant gym teacher for now, but if something happens to the current gym teacher, such as if he got caught attacking female students against their will, then I'll end up taking his place." Shia narrowed her eyes at him somewhat, before saying,

"That sounds like an oddly specific prediction for someone who can't see the future." Alex shrugged and explained,

"It's not too hard to guess, in every single class today I could see him focusing almost entirely on the female students, as if he was evaluating them." A series of icy expressions met Alex's words, as the girls briefly imagined getting their hands on such a teacher. Though they didn't particularly care about student-teacher relationships, the idea of a teacher abusing their position to target students was despicable. Alex was about to try and calm the atmosphere when Rosswiese saved him the troubles by suddenly asking,

"Do you want me to teach you a few tips and tricks for teaching?" As she was a teacher when they attended Kuoh Academy her offer was much appreciated, but Alex couldn't resist the chance to tease her somewhat first as he said,

"Let me guess, tip number one is to seduce your students? That's what you did with me." Rosswiese's face immediately started turning Crimson as she recalled the fact that Alex was still technically her student when they began sleeping with each other, which made the others around them give her pointed looks as well. Once they got her to calm down after Alex's teasing, Rosswiese began to seriously give him tips about teaching, how to treat and talk to students and so on, until a voice cried out,

"Papa!" They all turned and saw a little five year old girl running towards Alex, even though she was still wearing a few layers of coats and such that were wet from the snowfall outside. Not minding the wet clothes, Alex eagerly picked up Myuu as she rushed into his arms and sat her on his lap, before he began helping the giggling girl remove some of her wet and heavy outer clothes.

"Did you like playing in the snow Myuu?" He asked, to which she eagerly nodded and stated,

"Yep! I even got to play with Edith and Mai when they came out, I can't wait until I can really get to play with them!" Alex smiled as he thought of his other two daughters, who were already able to walk a little, right as Gabriel and Koneko entered the room with said daughters in their arms. The two girls became excited when they saw Alex, before their mothers gently put them down and allowed them to waddle to him on their own, putting an even bigger smile on Alex's face as he scooped them up when they got close enough.

"And how are my two little monkeys today?" Alex asked as he settled them into the crooks of his arms, before Gabriel answered,

"Probably tired with how much they played today, it's the first time it's snowed here so we spent quite a bit of time outside so they could see it." Gabriel's words were spot on as it didn't take long with the warm fire, their full bellies from the dinner they just ate, and their comfort from laying in their fathers arms, before both girls were fast asleep. He then had the reluctant Myuu get up as he went to lay the two toddlers down for the night, before going to put Myuu to bed after she had her own dinner and bath. After putting them to sleep Alex went and said goodnight to Anne, Serafall, and Ravel before entering the space-time orb, as the three of them weren't spending more time than needed in it in their current condition, unlike Gabriel and Koneko had.

Once he entered the space-time orb Alex started heading for his room to rest, but not before he grabbed Rosswiese, Asia, Xenovia, and Irina to come with him as he simultaneously started planning how he intended to spend the next several 'days' training.

(A.N. So for those of you who had only seen the Rosario+vampire anime, I hope you can tell that it was very different that the manga, which is what I'm going off of. Please keep that in mind as there were several things they changed between the two(such as Moka's mother and father))
