Start Of School/Being Watched

Several months later

Sunlight shone through the window of Adam's room, illuminating his flawless figure. He was currently putting on his school uniform. Once he was done, he picked up his school bag and started his first day of the term.

Along the way numerous girls sent him enamored looks with blushes on their faces. How could Adam not notice? He sighed in his mind and ruminated over the potency of his face. Deciding he would do it at a later point of time, Adam stopped in front of a grocery story and looked at the apples on display with a desiring gaze. He gulped, looked left and right and walked out a bit later with a bag of apples.

He didn't have any money but a simple hypnosis spell did the trick. Afterwards he continued onto his way to school. A few minutes later he arrived at the school and went directly to his classroom. When he arrived there he noticed how rowdy it was. Groups were already formed but he didn't really care. His movements weren't loud but still enough to attract attention.

The moment he did so it got really quiet. Adam looked around curiously and saw the same look on the female students. As for the males, that can be left up to one's imagination. Wanting to lower his presence as much as possible, he went directly for the last row's leftmost seat, right next to the window. It didn't achieve the effect he hoped for though so he just let it be.

Thankfully, it was only for a minute or so before the noise started picking up again. Adam closed his eyes and wanted to sleep when he hear a familiar voice "Hey, we meet again." His eyes slowly opened and looked at his neighbour, Issei Hyoudou. Acknowledging his presence, he went back to his hibernation. The class started being filled out and the bell rang a bit later.

In the second to last row sat a small girl with white hair. Her name is Koneko Toujou, a nekoshou and part of Rias Gremory's Peerage. She was tasked alongside another person to watch Issei Hyoudou and Adam. From time to time she would glance at the both of them stealthily. When he looked back at Adam, their gazes crossed. Koneko's pupils constricted when she saw his eyes. What was pictured in his eyes was a picture of a apple with a snake surrounding it. The next second her consciousness started to shake and she fainted. Nobody noticed until the end of the class when the teacher approached her. She was sent to the infirmary to recuperate.

The door to the Occult Research Club was open and Kiba Yuuto, former holy sword wielder ran through. He was out of breath as he looked at the two people infront of him. Rias raised her brows while musing "You seem quite hurried, my dear knight?" Exhaling a few breaths, he spoke "Koneko fainted!" That was all it took for Rias to shoot up from her chair and asking in disbelief "F-fainted?"

It wasn't weird for her to be confused since Koneko was inhuman and wouldn't faint so easily. Rias took a deep breath and commanded "We have to find out what happened. Come on."
