It was a beautiful day, the birds were singing. The flowers were blooming. 

Issei Hyoudou, one of the three greatest perverts to walk the halls of Kuoh AcademyV slept peacefully with his head on the lap of a beautiful young woman dressed in a female student uniform of Kuoh Academy. She held a book and read it while another hand caressed the mane of brown hair belonging to the pervert. 

"What is this..." All students who knew of the perverted second year could only gape in shock at the sight of the two. A young woman reading a book about science far above their grade and age could understand casually gave the pervert a lap pillow. 

"This must be a dream..."

"Traitor!"

"Die, normie!" 

"WRY!!" 

Ignoring the audience, the young woman gently looked at her watch. 'Five minutes before we get back to class, huh?' The young woman thought. 'Still, being back on Earth is nice.' 

"Ise," She whispered, shaking the young man. "Wake up, class is about to start," 

Red eyes opened up, showing no hint of emotions, far different from the perverted fool he should be until they turned brown. Pushing himself off the young woman's lap, the Dragonlord of Doom formed a magical circle inside his mind. In an instant, he became wide awake. 

"You know, you might not show it but when it comes to Dragon magic, you are way better than I or the others," Mei said with a smile. 

"Well, I did become a Dragonlord earlier than any of you and I got personal tutoring from Lady Celestia... she was quite the taskmaster," Memories of a beautiful woman wearing white robes and a beautiful smile as he wrestled his baby dragon to get him to behave appeared in his mind. 

"That, along with your nasty habit of somehow beating or killing a lot of dragons, Dragonlord." 

"Stop teasing me," Issei whispered with a smirk. "Should I remind you how many times I became a lightning rod because of your affinity?" 

With a playful punch to his shoulder, the young woman smiled as memories of her teenage years appeared in her mind. A younger/older Issei Hyoudou dressed in Dragonlord Armor walked into her study in his castle only for a bolt of lighting to shoot out and hit him square on the chest plate. Another memory appeared of when they were going on a picnic with all of their friends and how she accidentally shocked him when he covered her eyes. 

Hard to believe that was over a decade ago for the two of them. 

"Well, come on," With surprising agility and flexibility, Issei performed a flawless kick-up and offered his hand to the young woman in front of him, smiling at how her reading glasses reflected his visage a bit. 

"True, but you asked me to tutor you so don't complain," The young woman replied, taking his hand and smiling as she felt herself get pulled up. His hand, not as scarred as it did nor as calloused was still as warm and as strong as it did. 

"Ugh..." 

"Don't be like that, I know you don't like theoretical subjects but you need to learn them too!" 

"But Mei! You're not as strict with her!" 

"Up, up!" A small dainty finger pressed on his lips cut off his tirade. "No complaining," A smile bloomed on her. "You're willing to fight dragons and otherworldly threats without a thought and schoolwork bores you?" 

"Sorry for not being a bookworm," Issei whispered under his breath as he passed by her. 

"I heard that," 

"!" 

-=-=-=-=-

"Issei!" 

"Oh, Matsu, Moto. What is it?" 

"How do you know Raiden?!" The two friends of his asked as they looked at their perverted friend. 

"Yeah!" Katase cut in, slamming his desk while taking a glance on Mei's desk filled with a lot of people. 

Taking a peek over their shoulders, Issei glanced at the Empress of thunder and their eyes met. In that instant, her eyes softened as they usually did after they befriended each other. 

"Well, Mei and I are friends and sparring partners," It was not a lie since while they first started teaming up after their first meeting during his hunt for the elemental orb of wind, they had a rocky relationship and she even hated his perversion at first but they managed to get past those. It also did not help that he had helped pirates on several occasions against ninjas and they did have some fights with him always losing or drawing at best. 

"You're not doing anything bad to her right?" 

"You're a pervert, Hyoudou! Of course you did something to her!" 

"Hey! Issei might be a perv but he won't force anyone!" Motohama said, snapping at the Kendo club duo. 

"Yeah! Just because we like to peek doesn't mean we'll force anyone to do it with us!" Matsuda said, glaring at the two. 

"Speaking of which," A small sly smile appeared on Issei's face as he popped open a flask and rested his feet on his desk. Taking a small gulp from his flask, the young man looked at the two. "Ever wonder why the peeping hole in the Girls' Kendo club hasn't been fixed yet since we first discovered it?" 

The Kendo club girls froze as they heard it, even more once they saw how Issei gently shifted his tone. 

"That better not be alcohol," Mei said as she glared at the Dragonlord of Doom. "You know what alcohol does to you!" 

"Relax! It's rootbeer!" Issei said with a smile. 

"Good, speaking of which. Issei is a perv. I should know, he peeks a lot, honest with his feelings... no matter how absurd," Memories of a teenaged Issei flirting and praising the thighs and tits of a certain ranger appeared in their minds, causing one to giggle a bit and the other to smile. "But, he will never force himself on others," Mei said with confidence. "I should know, right, Ise," 

"Shocking," 

"Besides, I'm not that interested in peeking at girls anymore," Issei said with a smile. "I'm still a pervert, don't get me wrong. I love boobs, their sizes, their diversities," Issei proudly announced, gaining the attention of the entire room. "I'm a pervert, I know! Glory be to boobs!" 

"Disgusting," 

"Pervert," 

"Besides, resting on them is much, MUCH, better," Issei said with a perverted grin, shining as brightly as the sun itself. 

"MASTER! TEACH US YOUR WAYS!" 

"WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HONORED ONE!" 

"Rise, my friends," Issei said with a smile, standing on his desk and chair as he finished his flask. "To all those who are willing, I shall teach you! To those who are honest to themselves, I shall guide you! To THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN, I SHALL DO SO!" 

All students, even the teacher who just entered the room could only stare at the charismatic figure of the young man in front of them as he raised a fist. 

"Lord Issei!" 

"Master Issei!" 

The perverted duo whispered with tears in their eyes at the Godly figure in front of them. This man... no, this higher being is worthy. Worthy of their eternal servitude. 

"Rise my fellow perverts!" Motohama and Matsuda rose to their feet, "RISE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! OUR PERVERSION MIGHT BE HIDDEN OR OPEN TO BE SEEN BUT WE ALL STAND US ONE!" 

"WE STAND AS ONE!" Motohama, Matsuda, and some other students, both male and female, repeated as they looked at the young pervert. 

"WE SHALL EMBRACE WHO WE ARE AND STAND US ONE! WE SHALL SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN! MY BROTHERS! MY SISTERS!" Issei announced, his voice roaring and thundering through the room and even the hallways as all that looked at him followed his voice. "GLORY BE TO BOOBS!" 

"GLORY BE TO BOOBS!" 

"ISSEI HYOUDOU!" Souna Shitori, the student council president said as she entered the classroom, looking at him with a twitching brow. "Detention! Now!" 

"NEVER! THE GLORY OF THE OPPAILYSIUM WILL NEVER FALTER! WHO'S WITH ME!?" 

"WE STAND WITH YOU!" Countless voices echoed out from inside and outside the classroom, even Saji said the same thing. 

"Through doom or destiny! Our future awaits!" 

"Okay," Souna approached the desk and stared at the human in front of her, leaking a bit of her magic. 

The moment demonic magic escaped her body. Issei's eyes narrowed as he looked at Souna Shitori. Years of experience as a ninja allowed him to hide his reaction. 

"Fine, fine. No need to get mad," Hopping off his desk and landing on the ground. 

"Hoh? Blue? Not bad," 

"Blue?"

"Pervert," Souna glared at the young man as a soft red mist covered her face. 

"It suits you, president~," Issei said with a smile, going ahead and into the fold of three different Student Council members. 

Following the members in silence, the young pervert's eyes worked as he glanced at each person surrounding him. 'Chess pieces are holding their souls... similar to Necromancers and their Phylacteries... but they turn them into darkness elementals instead,' The young pervert thought as he felt a knock on his mind. 

'Are you going to be fine?' The familiar soothing voice of Mei Raiden echoed in his mind as he entered the Student council room. 

'I am, I have Aegis nearby,' He replied in his mind as he watched the bespectacled young woman sit on a couch with a beautiful glass chess piece set. 

"Take a seat, Mr. Hyoudou, I have some questions to ask you," Souna Shitori said as her eyes focused on him. "But first, do you play chess?" 

"I have some idea how to play it," Issei said with a shrug as he took a seat in front of her and at the black chess pieces.

"Good, now. Do you remember what happened before you disappeared?" The student council president asked, moving a piece. 

"Yeah, Moto, Matsu, and I just finished buying a new set of goods when I had to separate from them," Issei replied as he moved a piece. 

"I see, then what happened next?"

"Well, I can't explain it but I was taking a long walk in the park to relax when I saw this book," 

"A book you say?" Souna moved another piece as Issei immediately moved a piece after she moved hers. 

"Yes, it was in English too. Around Medieval-ish... but after I picked it up, I saw a black feather falling," 

"Black feathers, you say?" 

"Yep!" Gently, the young man took a piece from her side, taking the first blood while he looked at her. "Like a crow's. Next thing I know, I woke up in an unfamiliar place," Issei said, scowling as one of his pieces got eaten. 

"Interesting, I hope you have had reported it to the police," \

"Wasn't I supposed to say it to you," Issei said, lowering a piece on a tile. 

"And why would you say that?" 

"Souna Shitori is not a bad disguise," Hearing this, numerous weapons and magic circles formed all around the room as numerous student council members glared at the pervert. "But to anyone who knows the occult, your family name is close to your disguise, Sona Sitri." 

"When did you find out?" 

"After I got back from wherever that place is, I studied up on the occult," Issei said with a smile, uncaringly ignoring the weapons and spells surrounding him. "It's not that hard to find information since there are a lot of occult things online. Speaking of which, I have to say you're family member is quite the celebrity and her show is quite captivating," 

"... Everyone, stand down," Sona ordered her peerage. 

"Check," Issei said with a smile as the chessboard now had a lot of missing pieces from her side that weren't supposed to be.

"That's cheating, put them back, Hyoudou," 

"Why should I? You never told me I can't take them with just pieces alone," Issei said with a smile. "It was your fault for turning away, president. A commander must never let their guard down," 

"The moment I turned my attention away, you took them," Sona said with a sharp look in her eyes. "Would you like to join my peerage, Issei Hyoudou?" Potential. No, she saw his talent. 'To steal something from me in that instant and under the eyes of my peerage,' Taking a discreet glance at her peerage members, they all shared some looks of shock. 

One look at her queen and she saw the shake of her head. 'Tsubaki did not notice it too,' Sona noted and looked at Issei. 

"Sorry, but no can do. I'm not interested in joining a faction I have no idea about," Issei said with a shrug as he moved a piece, several of them as she looked at Tsubaki. "Checkmate," 

Silence echoed in the student council room as the numerous pieces boxing in the king piece belonging to Sona were far too many to count. With her disappeared pieces and the position of her pieces... it was no use. She lost. 

"Well, that's it for me, pres." Ignoring the stunned members of the student council, the young man turned to leave. 

'Impossible! I lost...' Sona thought as her eyes analyzed the chessboard. She lost... for the first time. Her mind analyzed each move she can make and it was no use. She truly lost. 

"I lost..." she whispered. "Nice game, Issei Hyoudou," 

"Is this an official match?"

"No... but this hurts my pride a bit..." 

"Well, you heard her, right? She admitted defeat," 

"We did..." Tsubaki whispered quietly as she looked at the chessboard. "President Sona lost."

"Well, that's all I need to know." With a snap of his fingers as he left, a small blanket of light disappeared from the chess board, revealing the chess board at the same position as it did before Issei took her pieces. "I want to get all my former violations wiped from my record," 

"Illusion magic using Darkness-based magic as a base while connected to numerous people in this room?" Hanakai Momo whispered as she analyzed the illusion spell.

"No... it's only a minor charm using darkness-aligned elements as a base while a minor invisibility spell made them completely invisible to our senses," Sona said as a smile broke out of her face at the sheer simplicity and effectivity of the illusion she was put under. It was her win, technically speaking since she is still sitting and her opponent left. But as a tactician, she lost. She lost to the pervert known as Issei Hyoudou even when he was under the suspicion of her peerage. 

"Congratulations on your engagement—,"

The student council president froze. In her excitement at the magical capabilities of the perverted young man, she forgot one part of her engagement contract that whoever can beat her in chess, will be engaged to her.

"Miss President," 

-=-=-=-

"So, you made contact with the devils of Kuoh?" Mei asked as she opened the pot inside the Hyoudou household. Her long purple hair was tied by a ribbon into a ponytail as she worked with his mother, Miki Hyoudou. 

For his part, the Dragonlord of Doom looked at the floating book in front of him. A copy of the legendary Eggnognomicon, the greatest spellbook of Cryomancers. It was destroyed by the Pyromancer Xan during a Frostval (Lorean equivalent to Christmas) event but he found one on his bag a while back. 

"Yeah, House Sitri," 

"Father told me the current Satan Leviathan is the sister of the current heir," Mei said as she looked at Miki. "This is good!" 

"Thank you, sweetie," Miki said with a smile as she watched the young woman take a sip from her special stew. 

"Well, it's better than what Issei can make," 

A bundle of green scales along with a fully red and black, growled at the same time. 

"I heard that!" Issei said as he glared at the dragons. "I already finished putting up some seals in the house. It's not the same level as what Elysia and Lady Celestia have on Sunbreeze Grove and I don't want to use any forbidden Magick," 

"That should be fine, with either Draco or Aegis in here, your mother will be safe," Mei said as she started cooking more food. 

"Say, Mei-chan. You moved into Kuoh, right?" 

"Yes, Auntie. I wanted to get reunited with the others and I only knew where Issei's specific location so I went to Kuoh first." 

"Well, why not stay with us? We have a free guest room," 

"That's a good idea, mom!" Issei smiled at his mother, remembering how both he and the Empress of Thunder lived in the same place, his castle. It certainly helped lessen the loneliness he felt with another dragonlord and friend by his side. Not only that, Draco will be able to play with Kurikara. 

"I wouldn't like to impose," 

"Nonsense! It's fine with us!" 

"Mom's right! Besides, it will be just like back in Kaer Draconis," Issei said with a smile. Memories of him and his fellow Dragonlords hanging out in his castle between adventures as they all had fun. 

"If you really insist, then I accept. Please take care of me," The young woman said with a bow while Issei chuckled at the action of his friend. 

"Speaking of which, I managed to find a mage with one of those monsters I fought a few nights back,"

"A grimoire?" 

"Energy magic, your specialty," 

"Well, put away those books first," Miki and Mei said at the same time as they looked at Issei with a stern look on their faces. 

"At least it's not porn this time," Mei said with a weak, nervous chuckle. 'I don't want to make my best friend's mother think I'm not respecting her place in this house!' 

"Well, it seems like our Issei will be in good hands," Miki said with a smile. 

"I'm home!" 

"Dear!" Miki removed her apron and wiped her hands before rushing to the door. 

"Piece of advice, prepare some soundproofing later," Issei said with a smile as he floated the tomes on a bookshelf. "They can get loud," 

"Speaking from experience?" Mei whispered with a smile as she reached out and playfully pulled at his cheek. 

"Sadly, yes... several times..." 

"Issei Hyoudou, the fearless Hero of Falconreach, brought to despair by his parents," Mei teased as she lowered a pot of rice on the table.

"Your girlfriend will get jealous if she sees this," Issei said before... "DO THAT IN A ROOM AND NOT IN FRONT OF OUR KIDS!"

"Sorry, honey!" 

"Wow, you weren't kidding," A red mist covered the cheeks of the Empress of Thunder as moans entered her ears. "Now I know why you're a pervert..." 

"Gross!" 

-=-=-=-=-

"Big sis, we're heading out now," A young woman dressed like a nun with locks of white hair peeking out of her habit said. 

"Thank you for letting me stay with you, Lady Bianca!" A blonde-haired young woman by the white-haired sister's side said. 

"Take care, you two," A tall blonde-haired woman said with a smile. Compared to the two, she wore a set of casual clothes. 

"We will!" 

"You too, Bella," 

A small bundle of golden scales chirped in the arms of the smaller Blonde.
