3 Kuoh Academy

As I kept on staring at my pallid reflection in the mirror, I suddenly remembered about the Stand I got this morning.

"Hanged Man... How do I summon this Stand?" I wondered to myself only to be get distracted by something translucent standing behind me like a bodyguard. The translucent figure was reflected on the mirror was a mummy with mechanical elements, making it seem less human. Its body is covered in bandages, with half its brain exposed, along with having two right hands.

So I can summon it with just a thought, pretty nice... I guess.

Before I could study the humanoid thing more it disappeared & suddenly I was inflicted by a wave of tiredness. I forced myself to sit down, it's taking a lot of willpower to even stand on my feet. My own body sure was annoying.

'Well, that's disappointing.' I reflexively spat out a dumbfounded chuckle. It was just that pathetic, I have to train my body if I ever dream to use the Stand. Now that I think about it… I still have those unused attributes points.

I ended up investing 3 points in stamina and 2 points into intelligence. Unlike how it was in games, there is no dramatic sound or any prominent change in my body. Though I felt a little better than before, the change is way too minuscule to be noticed, but hey it's better than nothing right?

Dinner with mom and dad was a quiet event, but they did mention something related to my academics. I have to repeat my third year again since the classes already had dissolved for the current batch and the exams already had started.

Tomorrow would be the beginning of my new school life, that fact alone made me stiff with worry. I am a grown-ass man, there is no way I will fit with a bunch of teenagers.

[Next day]

I didn't want to be too early to school, dad did offer to drive me to school… But I declined the offer, it was only 20 minutes away from the house. So I made a mental note to get myself accustomed to the neighborhood before setting my foot on school grounds, I walked over the dresser and began pulling out my school clothes.

Another thing I did after waking up is to pull my daily gacha, this time my luck didn't cooperate with me. From the capsule came out an uncommon sword with 10+ attack, currently, it was stored within my item storage.

Also, I am conflicted with one problem, my mana is so fucking less that it would be impossible to even pull a single gacha, every pull takes 100 mana points, 10 pulls would cost me 1000 mana points, which I'm currently lacking, massively at that.

I can't do jack shit with 10 mana points, I have some idea to raise my strength and stamina; but mana I have no fucking idea, how to.

This is kind of getting on my nerves, all my attributes are below 15. How do I even get them up to a hundred, that is a goal near to impossible at this moment, maybe leveling up would increase my overall stats. While it sounds simple, how do I even do that in the first place? There are no monsters around, hurting innocent animals is also a no no thing for me, & I highly doubt that I will be able to masquerade as a vigilante like Batman.

I neither have proper training nor do I have the will to sacrifice my sleep just to roam the streets at night, some people might think I am wasting my potential and probably thoughts like these are flying through their heads "What a fucking idiot. If I have a system, I will fucking grind my ass day and night, and some other shit." I know those people are eager to say it. So I will get right to the point "I don't care what you think, I will do it at my own pace, it's easier said than done my friend."

Once I finished putting on my dress, I headed out into the hall. The house that I and my parents shared was relatively big and spacious, a four-bedroom abode[Two bedrooms on second floor & two downstairs] with a rustic feel in the middle of a suburban, family-friendly neighborhood where most of the other places dwarfed it in size.

The smell of frying eggs and toast filled the entirety of the downstairs. "Morning, Ise." As I stepped into the kitchen lobby mom greeted me, she smiled at me, her eyes full of care and tenderness.

"Where is dad?"

"He left early, his company is hosting an important meeting with some investors." She said. "I'll have breakfast ready for you in a couple of minutes." I nodded and sit down before the table.

"Do you want me to drop you off at school?" I shook my head. "You remember the route right?" She asked with a worried look.

"You are worrying too much, Mom." Just to reassure her that I have not lost my way around, I had to divulge every route to the academy. Once satisfied with my answer, she served breakfast and after finishing it I grabbed my school bag and headed out.

Upon entering the school grounds, I walked down a little stone path lined with cobblestone... shit! It completely slipped my mind that Kuoh used to be an all-girl private school. When I made my way into the building all I see girls with mini skirts roaming the hallways.

The scene before me raised some questions! First of all why miniskirt? You expect a teenage boy to act normal around you, impossible, I thought Japan have strict dress codes, but that doesn't seem to be the case here! I took a deep breath and headed to the staff room first, where I was greeted by an elderly woman sitting behind the counter.

"Can I help you?" She looked up.

"I'm Hyodou Issei." I informed her, saw the immediate awareness light her eyes. "That Hyodou? Are you okay, Son?" She probably is taken aback by my appearance.

"Yes, I am doing alright I guess. Thank you for asking!" She nods and dug through a precariously stacked pile of documents on her desk till she found the ones she was looking for.

"... The schedule is same as before, but two new subjects were added to the curriculum this year. English and moral studies were added to this year." She brought several sheets to the counter to show me.

I thanked the old lady and went back into the hallways, I remembered the geography of the school, I knew exactly where my new class is.

The classroom was spacious with over 20 desks stationed, and it seems I am the only guy in the whole class. Everyone gawked at me when I entered the room, not so in a good way, and it's creeping me out. Issei, oh Issei, look what your actions have brought upon me.

All the gazes in the classroom were focused on me and all at once they stared at me like I am the worst scum in the world. Heartless Bitches, at least hide your intentions.

Sighing I went to the back of the seats and found an empty table to lodge on, I can already tell that my school life is going to be a grueling one.

A young male teacher walks in with a register in his hands. This must be our home teacher, he drop the resister on the desk and looked up, right in my direction.

"How was your Health?" The atmosphere became somewhat welcoming, at least all the girls stopped staring at me with disgust at the mention of Health.

"I am fine, thanks for asking." The teacher nodded short.

"Now then, let's quickly get over with attendance… Yuki Yamada." After he was done with attendance, he started to teach us quadratic equations.

And God I feel like dying, the first period and it started with the worst subject there is. "Are you following Issei?" I smiled tentatively and nodded my head. He went back to explain the problem, making me sigh in relief.

Just as I was about to write those new steps down in my notebook I noticed something from the corner of my eyes, there is something red floating above a blue-haired girl. I turned in her direction and my eyes widened or more like on the verge of popping out of their sockets on seeing her level.

She was a short girl with shoulder-length hair and matching eyes. She has the basic appearance of a tomboy and has a bishounen face.

Holy shit! Is she Superman's love child or something? How the hell is her level so high? How can a human have such a high level?

The highest level I came across is level 5, that guy was extremely muscular and seem to be on steroids, but she on the other hand look frail and an easy target.

[Level 30! I bet a light slap from her could end my life.] I felt like crying, not good, at this rate I will end up as cannon fodder. I need to find a way to increase my Level & probably my attributes too.

Curiosity got the better of me, I was dying to know what she did to get her level so high. I used the skill observation on the girl and the results were beyond my expectations.

Name: Yura Tsubasa

About: Since she was young and before reincarnating into a Devil, Tsubasa was able to see or touch supernatural beings or phenomena. She would engage in fights with monsters or evil spirits and defeat them with martial arts alone, but could not defeat stronger ones. At some point in her first year, she was reincarnated into a Devil by Sona Sitri and joined her peerage as one of her servants.

I am speechless, literally have no words to describe my current emotions. I am not shocked about her being a demon, no I was shocked about the fact that a human can be reincarnated as a demon.

It finally dawned upon me that being the owner of abilities like this would make me the prime target if words got out, the outcome might not be something I am looking forward to.
