"..."
All the classmates in the room focused their gazes on the figure at the door, falling into a brief silence.
After a moment,
"Ah! It's Kiba-kun!!!" Excited screams erupted from girls in the hallway and classroom alike.
Kiba Yuuto, Kuoh Academy's top-ranking handsome boy. With his short blonde hair and charming face always adorned with a bright smile, he ranked first on the list of boys girls most wanted to date.
By the way, Haru was also first, if you counted from the bottom.
Although the question was, "Is Haru here?", Kiba Yuuto's eyes were fixed on Haru, who was smirking while resting on his desk.
Following Kiba Yuuto's gaze, the girls noticed Haru's grinning face.
"Why would Prince Charming come looking for that guy?"
"Wait, you guys... take a closer look. He i... is actually kinda handsome."
"Who just said I'm handsome?" Hearing someone praise him, Haru quickly turned his head, running a hand through his hair as he looked toward the source of the voice.
"...Forget I said anything." The female classmate immediately looked embarrassed, stepping back a few paces and whispering softly.
"Um... Haru-kun." By this time, Kiba Yuuto had walked up to Haru's desk, tapping it lightly as he spoke.
"...Yuuto-kun, it's impossible between us. The one I like is Rias-senpai." Upon seeing Kiba Yuuto, Haru's expression dramatically changed. He stepped back several paces and spoke loudly.
Kiba Yuuto's face stiffened. Though he maintained his bright smile, sweat began to trickle down his forehead.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" The girls present screamed in unison.
"Blonde paired with silver hair, and both are hotties! How wonderful!!"
"Did you hear that? It's a real-life school love triangle!"
"The key point is that Prince Charming is the... uke?"
Kiba Yuuto's face darkened. His gaze carried a chilling intensity as he looked at Haru, gritting his teeth. "Um... Rias-senpai wants to see you."
"Sorry, just kidding!" Haru grinned mischievously, patting Kiba Yuuto on the shoulder. But this friendly gesture only deepened the misunderstanding. At least, more than half the girls in the class were now watching the two of them with heavy breaths.
Ten minutes later, Haru followed behind a visibly annoyed Kiba Yuuto as they headed toward the old school building.
As the name suggests, the old school building was the former campus facility now abandoned. Due to its dilapidated exterior and frequent sightings of shadows flitting by, it was commonly recognized as a forbidden area on campus.
But Haru knew the real reason it was off-limits: this was the territory of devils.
Following Kiba Yuuto into the surprisingly clean old school building, they arrived at a classroom door.
"President is inside," Kiba Yuuto said softly, standing at the doorway.
Haru glanced at the sign hanging to the right of the door that read "Occult Research Club" and said quietly, "Quite fitting for your identities."
Kiba Yuuto's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face before he regained his composure. With a light chuckle, he said, "Seems you know quite a bit! But you got one thing wrong, it's fitting for our identities."
The corner of Haru's mouth curled into a sly smile. "If you want to recruit me, you'd better show me what you've got."
With that, Haru pushed open the classroom door forcefully. Soft light spilled out from within.
The room was adorned with strange symbols and patterns, with several sofas and a desk placed in the center.
On one of the sofas to the left sat two people: one with vibrant red hair, the other with a long black ponytail. Haru immediately recognized them as the academy's two "big sisters."
Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.
On the sofa to the right sat a petite girl with white hair.
Koneko Toujou, affectionately known as Koneko-chan, had amber eyes and shoulder-length silver hair. A black cat-shaped hairpin adorned the left side of her hair. She had the adorable traits of being taciturn and a foodie.
At this moment, she was seated on the right sofa. She glanced up at Haru, gave a slight nod as a greeting, and then continued to focus on the yokan in her hands.
"Oh my, nice to meet you. I'm Akeno Himejima. I look forward to working with you, Haru-kun," Akeno said to Haru with a perfect smile.
"Ah, you can just call me Haru, it's my nickname, Akeno-senpai," Haru replied with a cheerful grin.
"Oh my, letting someone use your nickname upon first meeting?" Akeno lightly covered her face with her hand, speaking in a shy tone. However, her eyes gleamed with a teasing light.
"Alright, Akeno, don't scare him off."
Rias gave her friend a slightly exasperated look and said softly.
"Well then, everyone's here. Hyoudou... no, Haru!"
Rias looked seriously at Haru's face. As she changed her demeanor, everyone else straightened up.
"Welcome to the world of devils, Haru-kun."
After a while,
Everyone sat around a tea table, forming a circle on the sofas.
Akeno handed Haru a freshly brewed cup of green tea. "Please enjoy."
"Oh, thank you." Haru quickly accepted the tea, expressing his gratitude before taking a small sip.
"So, Haru, you probably know about us already," Rias said, her emerald eyes reflecting Haru's image.
Snap! Haru lightly snapped his fingers. A pair of devil wings sprouted from his shoulder blades, flapping gently.
Then, a red glow appeared on his hand. A crimson, menacing gauntlet covered his entire left forearm.
"I've learned quite a bit from Ddraig."
Rias gaze fixated on the gauntlet on Haru's arm, more precisely, on the red dragon pattern on it.
"Ddraig... So it really is the Boosted Gear of the Red Dragon Emperor, one of the thirteen Longinus."
Koneko and Akeno's expressions turned serious as they looked at the gauntlet on Haru's hand.
Sitting beside Haru, Kiba Yuuto showed a look of realization. No wonder Haru had acted like he knew everything earlier.
Haru stood up, dusting himself off, and looked sharply at Rias. "If you want me as a servant, show me your capability. Dragons don't bow to the weak."
"What kind of capability do you want to see?" Rias asked seriously, looking directly at Haru.
Haru glanced at Rias, his eyes scanning her figure. His gaze settled on a particular spot, and he nodded slightly.
"Your 'measure' is sufficient. Nice to meet you, President."
Koneko's hand, which was holding a piece of yokan, froze mid-air. After a moment, she whispered, "Hentai. Pervert."
"Hehehe! Just as President said, it's like having another silly younger brother," Akeno covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking as she giggled softly.
Rias looked at Haru, who was staring intently at a certain part of her, feeling both amused and exasperated. She wasn't sure whether recruiting Haru as a servant was the right decision.
...
At 6 p.m., Haru had just finished his initiation into the club and was leisurely walking home.
"Oww!" A cry of pain came from behind him, accompanied by the sound of someone falling onto the road.
Haru turned slightly to see a nun who had tripped and fallen.
She lay flat on the ground, arms outstretched, face down. Despite the smooth concrete surface, she managed to fall quite disastrously, a talent in itself.
Just then, a gust of wind blew away the nun's veil.
Golden hair, originally tucked under the veil, cascaded down before Haru. Her straight blonde locks shimmered under the setting sun.
The nun slowly lifted her head, her emerald eyes reflecting Haru's figure.
