Chapter 1 - I'm A Transfer Student At Kuoh Academy
Kuoh Academy!
It was still time for the last class. Outside the corridor of the first-year, students gathered, taking advantage of the short break to do their things.
Mahiro Toma stayed outside the classroom and looked inside with a complicated expression.
This classroom is different from where Toma is, but the area of the first year is so large that you could pass by the class if you walked around.
And this class is next to Toma's class.
In Toma's line of sight is a cute girl with short silver hair.
The girl with short silver hair was sitting on the seat, surrounded by a group of girls.
Around her, five or six classmates were talking to her with smiling faces.
While her classmates were enthusiastic, the silver-haired girl's cute face did not show much expression. She sometimes responded dully, sometimes silent, and her cold expression never changed, as if she were indifferent to everything.
The silver-haired girl's attitude would make people feel a little rude. However, at this moment, such a thing did not arouse the classmates' dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, an answer from the silver-haired girl would cause the person who asked the question to laugh as if they had received some considerable gift from her, making them extremely satisfied.
This shows how popular the silver-haired girl is among her classmates.
–Toujou Koneko.
This is the name of the silver-haired girl.
Because of her cute appearance, petite body, and expressionless face, she soon became a first-year mascot after entering school and is one of the famous students of Kuoh Academy.
Toma knew Toujou Koneko.
Of course, it is only one-sided. He knew Toujou Koneko, but the other party didn't know him.
However, it is not just a matter of knowing that Toujou Koneko is a high school student at Kuoh Academy.
There is a secret. Toujou Koneko is not human.
More precisely, a devil. If Toma's memory is not wrong, Toujou Koneko is a reincarnated devil.
Not only that, in addition to the Devil's identity, Toujou Koneko has another identity that matches her name.
- Nekoshou
That is, the Nekomata.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this identity that Toujou Koneko looks like a human, but people can't help but compare Koneko's appearance to that of a cat.
As for why Toma knows this.
Because he is not a native of this world but a reincarnated person.
In his world, Toujou Koneko was just a character in an anime.
Information about Koneko is also known from the anime.
Only now...
"Although I have long accepted that I have been transmigrated but I still feel a little dreamy."
Looking at that figure, Toma sighed helplessly, feeling a little tired.
In the beginning, the town where Toma was transmigrated was not Kuoh Town.
Of course, Toma did not find any trace of supernatural creatures in that town and always thought this was just an ordinary world without magic like his world.
He just wanted to be a writer. Toma lamented in his heart.
He has a better understanding of light novels and anime; even if he cannot retain the details of the anime or light novels, Toma still remembers the general plot.
Toma began his writing career before high school with some general stories. Although his light novel was not a big hit, it got along well.
However, because of the notice board, Toma learned about the existence of Kuoh Town.
A familiar name in memory naturally aroused Toma's interest.
Because of this, Toma left the town and went to Kuoh Town to enroll in Kuoh Academy.
Initially, he was just curious and wanted to verify whether this Kuoh Academy was the one he remembered.
However, when the familiar characters from High School DxD appeared one after another, Toma was perplexed.
When he didn't know about Kuoh Town's existence, Toma fantasized about an excellent high school life.
But now it's all over.
Suddenly, it changed from a slice-of-life to a world where supernatural creatures roam freely.
This world is not ordinary.
It is a world where mystery still exists. Gods, devils, monsters, and dragons—these creatures that only exist in fantasy—all exist here.
Moreover, according to his memory, these supernatural creatures are still connected to the ordinary world; they secretly govern different territories.
On the bright side, humans are leaders, but the real ones are these creatures.
Toma was apprehensive about his life.
According to the previous plan, he wanted to live peacefully and knew nothing about the world.
But now...
He is perturbed that, at some point in the future, he will accidentally die from an attack or be eaten by a stray devil.
After all, the destructive power of these creatures is terrifying.
Especially those leaders of factions that can be called humanoid nuclear bombs.
Destroying Kuoh town is also an easy task for them. Toma is not worried about being targeted. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and those supernatural creatures won't trouble him.
He was just worried about being affected.
If he gets involved in the battle between them, At that point, he can only blame himself for being unlucky.
To cover up the truth, they will modify and erase the memories of some related parties.
Even traces of their existence may disappear. That's the absolute misery.
Kuoh Town, especially as the center of the plot, is even more dangerous.
There are monsters like the Super Devils, and even the stray Devil that may appear at night can kill Toma.
Toma was worried that his life would be threatened, but he was unwilling to be ordinary.
Although it is very dangerous in Kuoh Town, the opportunity here is also the greatest.
It would be fine if he didn't know the existence of supernatural creatures before, but now he already knows the truth of this world.
"If there is an opportunity," Toma thought to himself. The power of these creatures made him yearn.
He also wants a solid power to be equal to those creatures.
Thinking of this, Toma could not help but clench his fist and prepare to leave.
Perhaps noticing the gaze of others, Koneko couldn't help turning her head to look out the window, and her golden eyes just met Toma's gaze.
"..."
Toma didn't panic.
The moment his eyes met Koneko, he twitched, revealing an unnatural smile, and then he avoided her eyes with a guilty conscience.
Toma sighed helplessly, stopped, turned quickly, and returned to class.
After Koneko glanced at him, she didn't care much and quickly retracted her gaze.
It's just that Koneko's sense as a Nekoshou and a reincarnated devil is many times sharper than that of ordinary people.
The class bell rang shortly after, and the short break after class ended.
Toma sat, and the teacher started the lecture, but Toma's thoughts had not returned to the class.
He was thinking about the way out in the future.
In the end, should he stay in Kuoh Town or leave this place?
"It's so hard to choose!" Toma rubbed his eyebrows irritably. It was easy to leave Kuoh Academy; just go through the transfer procedures, and it was not difficult for him.
Only...
If he leaves here, he is afraid he will never be able to enter the mystical.
Because the main plot/story is only here at Kuoh Academy.
If he changes to another place, he is afraid that he will lose any advantage.
"The presence of the host is detected, the system is starting to load."
Suddenly, a mechanical and cold voice sounded in Toma's mind.
