// Next Day //
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
The next morning my alarm clock starts ringing
"Kyu" Tsukihime gets up from her basket and gets on the bed and tries to wake her master.
"Hmmmmmm still 5 min"
"Kyun Kyun Kyun *lick, lick*"
"Hum, okay, I'll get up."
"Kyun Kyun Kyun"
"Hello to you too Hime" I stroke the fox's head while getting up
"Hey Zerono-san, why are you getting up so early this morning?" Ruby asks me as she levitates towards me with Sapphire behind her
"I need to stay in shape and get stronger, in this world, there are many people who can defeat me even with my magic I couldn't hold a fight for more than 5 minutes"
"Indeed, you must diversify your range of skills, to face any situation, I Sapphire would help you as much as I can Zerono-sama" replied the Blue Grimoire
"Thank you, Sapphire, Ruby"
"Kyun" Tsukihime gets angry by hitting her little paws against my leg
"You too Hime" then that Hime seems happy to be recognized by her master and shows an expression of arrogance saying that she will become the most powerful of the familiar
"She really has the temperament of a princess.
I put on my training clothes and then I look at my alarm clock it is 4:30 in the morning, I go to the front door with Hime on my head to put on my running shoes and I think to put weights on my arms about 15 Kg each and my legs 20 Kg each, then leave the house and start running all around the residential area
"Come on, Hime, you have to practice too"
"Kyun" Tsukihime gets out of my head and starts running at my pace
After an hour I find myself in the Merchant district, I say hello to the merchant who starts their work day, then I walk past an alley when my interface appears
[ Dungeon nearby Do you want to go in? ]
"A dungeon? In the middle of town? "
"Zerono-san I feel a concentration of magical energy in this alley" signals Ruby
"Okay, I should see what's in there maybe there's a treasure."

]
I press Yes and I find myself in a kind of labyrinth,
[ Shopping street dungeon (Beginner) ]
I activate the minimap in the options and I also activate the auto-loot then I start walking in the corridor I visit the rooms on which I pass to see if there is nothing interesting then in a room I find a chest when I open it I found potions.
Then, while continuing my exploration, I arrive in a room with a lot of wooden crates. And rotting bags in the middle of the room,
"Grrr Grrr" Tsukihime starts grunting
"What's the matter, Hime? "
Then I see the exit just in front of me I walk towards it when black mist starts to come out of the sewer mouth in the corner of the room and sneaks into the bags that starts to look like 4 monsters jumping on one leg with a kind of big sickle instead of their hands.
"Um, why do you look so familiar to me, "Obse"?
And suddenly he jumps on me I dodge the attack by rolling to the right, Hime goes to the left and starts using her [Fox Fire] which does damages

"Demons here why I'll think about that later I have class in two hours I'll finish you now"
"[Reinforcement]"
I thought I'd get out Pure Flame for the battle but Yamato comes out of my inventory by himself and appears in my hand
"What's going on why Yamato's moving on his own?"
A scarecrow makes an acrobatic jump and attacks me from behind, and I take a sickle blow to my back.

"F*ck off" I avoid and deflect the other demon attack with Yamato in my right hand and his scabbard in my left hand.
"I need more speed" I complain while avoiding attacks that keep chaining up one after the other
Then Yamato starts to shine with a slight blue color, and my combat rhythm accelerates, I manage to avoid attacks or trimmed them more easily, it's as if I teleported, I distance myself from them and try to counterattack
"[True Fang]"
I make quick upward movement and lateral movement that leaves green arc in its wake with a slight step back at each strick.
-25 (demon 1)
-20 (demon 2)
-21 (demon 3)
-23 (demon 4)
I manage to do them damage but the scarecrows start attacking by making circular attacks, thanks to the power of Yamato I am teleported out of range of the attack
"I don't have enough power, I do no much damage to them if it keeps going on I'll end up exhausting myself"
I keep fighting these demons when Yamato undergoes another change
This time the blue aura of Yamato and replace it with a red aura, I came back to my base speed my attacks are much more devastating then I think of the Artes that I learned the day before and one seems perfect for this situation
"[Tiger Blade]"
I slash upwards by jumping, which throws two Scarecrow into the air, which ends them.
-65 (demon 1)
-70 (demon 2)
Then slash down when landing to the last two which creates a shock wave.
-50 (demon 3)
-50 (demon 4)
"Hime uses [Fox Fire] to finish them
"Kyn" 4 will-o'-the-wisp runs over the two remaining demons that are weakened and burns them to ashes
[ You've earned 2 state points, 2 Soul Crystal, 2500 Yen ]
"Well let's continue the exploration" I continue towards the exit of the room while taking a potion that regenerates my PV, to find myself in a larger room when I step forward a demon covered with a black mist cloak composed of a gas that allows him to cross solid objects and float in the air begins to appear
"[Observe]."

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Pure Flame" I make my other sword appear in my other hand and I incorporate my magic of fire into it then take Yamato in reverse handle with his blue aura.
"[Phantasm Flash]"
I teleport to the Mephisto and with Yamato makes a diagonal slice down, which is then followed by a horizontal slice that tears through space-time which causes damage to it.
- 100 (Mephisto)
Mephisto loses his shadow cloak and tries to impale me with his spear-shaped fingers, but I parried it with Pure Flame and Yamato and he keeps throwing his attacks with his fingers while I'm deflecting them, after a moment I think it's time to finish it off
"Burns, [Sword Flare]" I slash it with the sword loaded with fire magic that finishes it off
[ You've earned 2 state points, 2 Soul Crystal, 2500 Yen ]
"Fiu, this not going far, I underestimated this dungeon although it is in easy difficulty and is no less deadly, I think I will go back and come back when I am prepared. "
"I also need to train more"
I turn around from where I come, to the exit
Do you want to get out of the Dungeon?
"Yes"
My surrounding breaks like a mirror and I find myself in front of the same alley I look at the time I look at my watch, it's 7 am
"Damn, I'm gonna be late" I'm running home at the speed of sound
When I get home I take a quick shower and put on my Kuoh Academy uniform, leave the jacket open, open the first button on my shirt and notice the black t-shirt inside, wear the black pants with black shoes and tie the rope that serves as a tie around my wrist and then put my school supplies in my bag
I went down to have my breakfast with everyone arriving in the kitchen I saw Mio, Yuki and Kurumi in their uniforms I can say that they look good on them as for Mio this chest which is already an outrage size, its enhance in a more outrageous way in this uniform
"Good Morning, everyone."
"Kuyn"
"Good Morning, Zerono" answers me Mio, Yuki, and Chisato
"Good Morning, Zero-Nii/Onii-Chan," say Kurumi and Maria
"Where you were this morning Onii-chan I went to your room to wake you up this morning but you weren't there, nor in the training room or in your workshop because of that I didn't get my morning "refill" " reprimands me Maria
"Another time Maria I don't have time to listen to your complaints and I have school today, Itadakimasu"
"Bu Bu Bu"
"Hime"
"Kyunnnnnnn" Hime jumps towards Maria
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, stop Hime-chan I surrender, I surrender" begs Maria with Tsukihime who licks her face
Leaving Maria in a position of defeat on the dining room floor, Me with Hime in my bag, Yuki, Mio, and Kurumi leaving for school
On the way, Mio and Yuki are each at one of my arms fighting over who loves him the most and Kurumi is behind me and holding a piece of my uniform while walking
"Hey you two don't argue on the street bothering the people around you take a cue from Kurumi"
"Zero-Nii don't say that it's embarrassing"
"Ahahah sorry, sorry" I pat her on the head
"Zerono, only Kurumi, it's not fair," Yuki tells me while pouting
"It's not fair" Mio also complains
As I approach the school there are more and more students and most of them are girls and I and the girls do not go unnoticed during this time I take this opportunity to use [Observe] and analyze each student and I have found that has potential but not enough to be trained to protect this world
"Who is he, I've never seen him before? " tell a girl
"A new student, he's too handsome" squeal another
"Seriously, a Bishonen, we don't need a second Kiba" tell a boy
"Look at him with all these girls sticking to him, I'm too jealous" complain another
Arriving at the entrance of the school I am surprised at the size of the school and is really tall when passing through the gate with the girls I feel a barrier but I did nothing because thanks to artifacts of my creation I can hide our origins, the only person who could unmask us would be someone from the Ultimate class or someone who can perceive the vital force or has very sharp senses.
We go to the student council room and knock on the door.
"Enter"
As I entered, I was caught off guard by the beauty of one of the important characters in the DxD plot. Sona Sitri was a beautiful young woman with glasses, short black hair, square cut and purple eyes that complemented her incredibly beautiful face. She was small at chest level, but her slim waist, wide hips, incredible ass and thicker, more toned legs more than compensated for this feeling.
"Hello we are the new students coming to pick up our schedules"
"Yes, we were expecting you, you must be Zerono Akatsuki, Mio Akatsuki, Yuki Nonaka, and Kurumi Nonaka, that's right"
"Indeed, what do you call yourself? "
"Ho, I forgot the presentations, Sona Shitori, president of the student council, and next to me the vice-president Shinra Tsubaki I welcome you to the Kuoh Academy"
"Thank you and enchant Kaicho, Fuku-kaicho" I say looking at Tsubaki and Sona with a smile, which makes me being pinched by my three companions
Then Kaicho gives us our schedules, then we head to our classrooms Kurumi is in 1st year, as for me, Mio and Yuki we are in 2nd year
Arriving in front of the classroom I knock on the door and then a teacher arrives to open the door and to our surprise it is Chisato
"To you must be the new student, Akatsuki brother and sister, and Nonaka, wait here I tell you to come in," she tells us
"Understood" all three of them answer for it
"Quiet, well everyone, we're going to have three new comrades today, come in"
We go into the classroom and then we position ourselves in front of the board looking at the class I recognize several people first Himari who is surprised to see me, Aika Kiryu, Katase, Murayama and suddenly I smell a smell that looks a lot like that of grandfather and the other death apostles, that's right there's a vampire or at least half a vampire here.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zerono Akatsuki, that's all I think"
"Come on, Zero-Chan, you can do better, I don't remember raising you like that"
"Ge, don't call me by that nickname Chisato-nee,"
"At school it's Hasegawa-sensei" she says to me with an amused look
This small exchange does not go unnoticed by other students
"I understand, I come from England, my hobbies are video games, martial arts, and treasure hunting,"
"Here's when you want, follow Mio"
"Yes, my name is Akatsuki Mio, Enchanted"
Some of the boys only look at Mio's big chest, I give them the death stare and a smile that promise pain.
"My name is Yuki Nonaka, nice to meet you"
"Okay, thank you very much."
"Hey, why don't you tell them? "
"Well, do you have any questions? "Chisato says, not paying attention to my question
Then all of a sudden the door at the back of the class opens and a boy with brown hair, looking pale enough, his face to a rather impassive expression.
"Sorry I'm late"
"I know Hyoudo, you can sit down and try not to push too hard."
