Chapter 2 - Meeting The House of Arcane

I made it to the academy and panted then headed straight to the courtyard, looking for Yuki. Since there weren't many students on campus, I was sure to find her and get some form of answers. I looked around then spotted Yuki talking to some woman at the fountain then walked over to her.

The woman she was talking to was a beautiful woman who had long black hair, purple eyes, and a set of amazing breasts any guy would die for. She had a very voluptuous figure and one of the most beautiful bodies I've ever seen. She wore the Acadia Academy uniform so she obviously went to this academy. After getting a closer look I could tell she was at least a third year at the academy.

Yuki noticed me walking towards her and smiled at me then stood up. Her friend looked at me and smiled as well. "Well good morning, Tatsuya. You're certainly here very early this morning."

"Yuki...I need to ask you something regarding what happened yesterday. What...no...it couldn't have been a dream. Tell me if what all happened yesterday was real. I need to know...are you actually...a devil..?" I asked and looked at her.

"Azuki. Would you mind leading us to our club room? I'm afraid this conversation isn't one that can be talked about in public." Yuki said and looked at Azuki.

"Of course." Azuki smiled and walked ahead, leading me and Yuki to their club room.

I followed Azuki and looked around, noticing a few students looking at me. They had a hint of jealousy in their eyes and I just avoided looking at them. Once we made it to the club room, we walked in and Yuki closed the door behind us then locked it.

"Alright, Azuki...set up the spell." Yuki said as she walked over to her desk and sat on top of it, crossing one leg over the other.

"On it~" Azuki said then closed her eyes and held out her index and middle fingers then a magic circle appeared in front of her fingers then a barrier was formed inside of the club room making it so no sound escaped out of the barrier, therefore keeping our conversation as private as possible.

"Alright, Tatsuya. Now to answer your questions. Yes, everything you experienced was in fact real. Michie was real, the Fallen Angel who attacked you was real, your death was real." Yuki answered my previous questions.

"If so, why isn't Michie in my phone anymore?! It's like she never existed in the first place. I have no idea what's happening, what just happened yesterday wasn't fake. I'm totally freaking out and I don't like that!" I said and held my head. "If I died, how did I come back to life."

"I reincarnated you back using my Arcane Magic and I had to erase the memory of everyone of Michie because she knew about us way before she met you. If she leaked that information the Ruler of Hell wouldn't like that. Before I tell you all about that, allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Yuki Arcane, that is my secondhand woman, Azuki Kojima. This building is where the House of Arcane resides disguised as a club room. We don't have an official club name technically so we just call this the Everything Club." Yuki smiled and shrugged.

"I told her to do the occult club but apparently there already is one at the academy so we chose to just do anything here but we were able to have the whole building to ourselves since no one was using it." Azuki added to Yuki's statement.

"Yes, and now that's out of the way. Welcome to the House of Arcane. I am the Head of the House. Like I said before, I reincarnated you back using Arcane Magic. Arcane Magic is the most powerful form of magic there is in this Realm and within reincarnating you, it's like making you one of us." Yuki explained and got off her desk.

"Wait so I'm like...a member of the House of Arcane now?" I asked.

"Yep." Yuki said walking to me.

"And so that means...I am a devil as well? Specifically an Archdemon?" I asked.

"Mhm, exactly~" Yuki smiled and held my cheek. "Welcome to the House and because you're an official member, we must give you the initiation."

"I-Initiation? What the hell is that?" I asked.

"This.." She said then pushed me down on the couch then mounted on top of me.

'Whoaly Shit! Okay Tatsuya! Calm down! This beautiful woman no man will ever know the touch of is on top of you right now! Don't do anything embarrassing!' I thought to myself and I looked at Yuki, blushing madly.

"We must find out what kind of power you have and for me to awaken that power...I must get physical with you..as in physical I mean we must sin." Yuki said in a soothing voice then moved her hips forward, making me choke on my nonexistent words.

She kissed my lips and I looked surprised and felt an intense burning on my insides and groaned. She pulled away and flew off me, landing on her feet. I gripped my chest and panted and wheezed, trying to catch my breath. My soul began to burn in ways I never thought was even possible. I groaned and my eyes shined then my right arm began to shine. A red and black gauntlet appeared on my right arm and shined then began to extend to my elbow. The burning stopped and I groaned then finally caught my breath.

"Feel that power, Azuki...I believe he's a special one. Usually if one reacts like that...they have great power within their body and are infact destined to be a true member of the house and my servant.." Yuki smiled and gripped her cross necklace.

"Yes...He is a rare breed and I want him..~" Azuki said and held her cheeks and giggled.

I slowly stood up and looked at my arm. "What the fuck...was that..?"

"I just awakened you. Normally these reactions only happen when one has a very powerful ability...you're a special case. You have Seven abilities that you can use.." Yuki smiled.

"Wait what are you talking about? People don't normally react like that? I was definitely feeling like I was dying for a second for more reasons than the burning." I said and looked at Yuki.

'Holy shit I can't believe I actually kissed THE Yuki Arcane, oh my buddies are gonna flip out.' I thought to myself and chuckled.

"What I mean by seven abilities is you obviously have more than one power. Are you familiar with the Seven Deadly Sins?" Yuki asked.

"Uh yeah. Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, and Wrath." I answered.

"Yes, those are your seven abilities with Lust being the most predominant ability. You are the most powerful male in the House of Arcane, but that isn't saying much." Yuki said then walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Eh? Why?" I asked and watched her.

"You see, the House of Arcane is a house where the women are the strongest gender. Our bodies are made to wield such magic and men are rarely to be known to wield Arcane Magic. The only two men known for this feat are Yuki's dead father and brother therefore making you the new strongest man of the house on paper but you are nowhere near the level of children who were born devils." Azuki explained.

"Wait..so you're saying the only members of the house are women?" I asked.

"Yep." Yuki smiled.

I held my arm out to Yuki. "Pinch me so I can make sure I'm not dreaming."

Yuki pinched me at my request and looked at me.

"Youch! Okay! Yeah this is real, how many women are currently in the House of Arcane that are active like you and Azuki?" I asked.

"three including me four." Yuki answered.

"Last question, are all of you single?" I asked.

"My my~ You wish to date us huh?~" Azuki asked and held her arms.

"Yes. I'm gonna be blunt, I've had wet dreams of you and Yuki since the day I met you and even when I was dating Michie. I wouldn't help it but you two are so fucking fine." I said.

Yuki laughed softly and facepalmed.

"Well well, you're the first male to ever make Yuki laugh...having you around maybe will actually be fun..~" Azuki smiled.

"To answer your question, yes all of us are single, but we aren't gonna just allow you to go out with us. We are not as simple as Azuki is." Yuki looked at me, smiling.

"I have my standards as well alright! Besides he's cute." Azuki crossed her arms and smiled.

I grunted a little and held my head. "The hell is going on..?" I said and squinted.

"What's the matter?" Yuki stood up and looked concerned.

I took my glasses off and everything became clearer. I rubbed my eyes a bit then blinked. "My glasses don't work anymore...when I took off my glasses...my eyesight magically became clearer. What's up with that?"

"Us Supernatural Beings don't need those normal human items for our senses. We have Supernatural Senses and because of that we are vastly superior than any being on this planet." Yuki said.

"Oh yeah speaking of Supernatural Beings...who was that bitch who killed me?" I asked.

"She was a Fallen Angel. Just like Azuki, but the difference is Azuki has been reincarnated as a devil but keeps her former Fallen Angel abilities and on top of that she also wields demonic abilities. Fallen Angels are those who fell from Grace whether it be from the Holy Plane known as the First Heaven or from the higher plane known as True Heaven. They are now members of the Underworld who still wants to please God and by doing so they kill beings like us. It's too late for them anyway however." Yuki said.

"I see you hold the cross. How are you able to do that?" I asked.

"That's because I am an Ascended Devil. I still have a pure heart and because of that I am able to wield holy abilities as well as maintain my demonic powers. It is also to note I used to use Arcane Magic on myself when I was younger to be able to wield Holy Objects to the point I am immune to the purification effect of the Angels from True Heaven." Yuki said then showed her demon wings which were white.

"Huh. Interesting." I said then looked down. "I want revenge on that Fallen Angel bitch...I want to kill her with my bare hands and make her pay."

"Well she's way too strong for you right now. You're still a rookie, but we can arrange some form of training camp for us so we can get you used to the process. After all you're one of us now." Yuki smiled then the bell rang. "Meet up here after classes. I'll give you the run down on everything after all has been done."

I nodded and Azuki let down the barrier then I hurried out of the room and exited the building. I was extremely excited to start this new life. I looked at my demon arm and stopped then lightly grunted. I managed to make it disappear and sighed in relief. I continued to hurry to class.

"So does he truly have the power of the Seven Sins?" Azuki asked.

"Yes. All of the previous Demon Kings who wielded that Devil Tool are all connected to that weapon. The Kings of Lust, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Pride, Wrath, Sloth. They are all within that one weapon and you should know how powerful they were in olden times." Yuki said then walked over to the door.

"Yes I know just how powerful they were. Angels from True Heaven feared them. If Tatsuya manages to awaken his true potential...he would be unstoppable." Azuki smiled.

"Exactly~ Anyway, I'll see you here after classes." Yuki smiled.

"I know." Azuki smiled back.

The day has begun to look brighter. I was now a member of the House of Arcane and the active members of the House are all women! My own personal harem can finally begin! Swimming in bitches even though there are only four active members, four is more than any guy in this academy will ever experience.

'Oh I'm so bragging about this to my friends!' I thought to myself.

The classes zoomed by and the final bell rang. I collected my things and raced out of the class and headed to the club building. I walked inside and went to the room I was told to go to then walked inside. I heard water running and noticed someone was in the built in shower. I couldn't help myself but to look in that direction, I wanted to get a peek very badly.

"You know...it's bad to peek while someone is in the shower, pervert." A woman said in a stern, disapproving voice.

I let out a yelp and looked behind me. It was a woman and I moved out of her way. I watched her walk over to the couch and sit down. She was a woman with a petite figure and was fairly short. She couldn't have been over four feet and maybe around eight inches. Her eyes were golden and her hair was fairly short and red, only stopping at the bottom of her neck and having two bangs that extended past her shoulders. She wore the uniform as well so she went to this school but I never really see her around.

"Why are you staring at me, you peeping bastard. Like seriously, how did a pervert like you even get invited here? I thought this was a woman predominant House so how did you get so lucky..?" The woman asked.

"Y'know for someone who's snack size, you sure talk big." I said and crossed my arms.

Her right eye twitched and she went from mildly annoyed to completely annoyed. "Yeah? Well I'm surprised you aren't in jail for being the world's biggest pervert!"

"Alright Nekona, let's be nice okay?" Azuki said as she walked to the front.

"What?! You're taking HIS side?! How much did he pay you?!" Nekona asked in shock.

"Puh-lease, like I'd pay a woman to take my side when I'm clearly the innocent one." I said with my eyes closed my my hand on my chest.

"HAHA! Innocent. Didn't know Yuki hired a fucking comedian." Nekona rolled her eyes.

"Just don't worry about her, Tatsuya. She's one that's pretty hard to get close with at first but once you get to know her, she'll come around." Azuki smiled.

I noticed another woman walking in the room and she walked over to the couch then sat down beside Nekona. She was a woman with blonde hair that was chin length with blue highlights in multiple sections of her hair. She had a fit body with medium sized breasts and slender legs. She had heterochromia so her left eye was light blue and her right eye was gray. She also wore the uniform but I also never see her around.

"That's Erika Oshima, she's very quiet and only speaks when needed. I'd like for her to open up to us, but it takes time with this kind of stuff." Azuki introduced.

I walked over to Erika and held my hand out to her. She looked at me and I gave her a sincere smile. "Hey, my name is Tatsuya Hayashi. It's nice to meet you."

She just stared and turned her head. "Nice to meet you."

I gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of my head. "Tough crowd huh? I'm just gonna...yeah." I pointed with my thumb and cleared my throat then walked over to Azuki.

"Don't worry, they'll lighten up." Azuki smiled.

The water stopped and a few minutes go by then Yuki walks out of the shower area then walked to the front. She noticed we were all here then smiled.

"Alright good. We are all here. Let's have a seat please." Yuki said then walked to her desk.

Azuki and I walked over to the other couch and sat down. We looked at Yuki as she sat on top of her desk and held her cross pendant in her hand.

"I am pleased to welcome a new member to our humble abode of the House of Arcane. Our new member here is named Tatsuya Hayashi and currently he is the strongest male of the house." Yuki started.

"Wait what?! This clown can wield Arcane Magic?!" Nekona asked in shock.

"Yep, this clown has a couple of tricks up his sleeve." I smirked and rubbed under my nose with confidence.

"Yes, while that is an achievement it isn't anything noteworthy, but what is noteworthy is his weapon. He wields the Devil Tool named the Sin Bringer." Yuki said.

"The tool Satan used during the Old War between Heaven and Earth?" Erika asked.

"Yes, the weapon the old King of Wrath used. His power was the only thing missing for that Devil Tool to be complete. With all Seven Sins in that tool, Tatsuya can wield all Seven Sins to his desire but not without training. That is why I am thinking we start up a training camp so we can get him used to the ropes. Sound good to everyone?" Yuki asked.

"Sounds good to me." Azuki smiled with her eyes closed.

"Tch, finally I get to punch that pervert's face in without getting suspended for aggravated assault." Nekona smirked.

"If you believe this will make him efficient, I will tag in when necessary." Erika nodded.

"Good. Training Camp starts this Saturday Morning. Be in the training grounds, I'll grab Tatsuya to show him there when the time comes." Yuki said.

"Right." The three other women said.

I raised my hand and looked at Yuki. "Question."

"Mhm?" Yuki asked.

"How will you get me? I'm not sure my parents would allow a stranger in their house." I said.

"Just let me handle that..~" Yuki smiled.

"O-Oh. Alright then." I lowered my hand.

"If there aren't anymore questions, you all are free to go home." Yuki said.

Everyone got up once the meeting was done then left to head home. I stood up and grabbed my bag then left.

I walked home and noticed I could see clearer at night time. I decided to visit the park and just reminisce on the events that brought me here. The place Michie and I both died...only difference is Michie wasn't reincarnated. She's gone forever. I walked to the fountain then touched it then closed my eyes. I sighed softly and stood up straight then headed home for the night.
