The New Face in Kuoh Academy

Ayush had heard whispers about Kuoh Academy long before he set foot on its grounds. Unlike most schools, Kuoh wasn't just a place for academic pursuits—it was a hidden battleground for the supernatural. Devils, angels, and fallen angels all operated under the surface, disguised as normal students. But what intrigued Ayush the most were the rumors about two particular students: Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima. They were legendary, both for their immense power and their breathtaking beauty.

Rias Gremory was the school's devil princess, and her reputation alone was enough to make any normal boy's knees weak. Her crimson hair and striking blue eyes made her the focus of everyone's attention, but there was more to her than just looks. Rias exuded an aura of authority and seduction. Her presence was intoxicating—commanding yet inviting, with a body that could turn even the most composed man into a trembling mess. She had curves that hinted at temptation, a slim waist that flowed effortlessly into hips that swayed with every step, and a chest that seemed almost too perfect to be real.

Then there was Akeno Himejima, Rias's closest companion and second-in-command. Where Rias was elegance and poise, Akeno was pure seduction. Her long black hair framed her face like a dark halo, her teasing smile and playful eyes concealing a much more dangerous nature. Akeno's beauty was darker, more mysterious. Her slim figure and sensually confident demeanor added a dangerous allure, making her both feared and desired.

Both girls were with Issei Hyoudou, the perverted boy who somehow, through sheer luck, had managed to win their affection. Ayush couldn't believe it. He had learned about Issei's story long before he came to Kuoh Academy. Issei wasn't special—he wasn't smart, he wasn't charming. He was just lucky.

Ayush didn't believe in luck. He believed in power. And now, with the artifact in his possession, he had everything he needed to take what he wanted.

Before arriving at Kuoh Academy, Ayush had spent weeks researching the rumors about the school. Most of the stories he heard seemed far-fetched—tales of devils, secret battles, and supernatural encounters. But the more he dug, the more consistent the stories became. The Occult Research Club, led by Rias Gremory, was the epicenter of it all.

However, Ayush wasn't interested in joining the club just yet. He had a different plan. He didn't want to simply be another member, another face in the background. He wanted Rias and Akeno to notice him—to desire him. And with the power of the artifact, he could make it happen.

The artifact itself was something Ayush had found by chance, buried deep in the forest behind Kuoh Academy's old shrine. It was a simple stone, glowing with an ethereal light, but the moment he touched it, he felt its power course through his veins. According to the legends, the artifact could amplify the desires of those around the wielder, making them irresistibly drawn to him. It didn't matter if they were human, devil, angel, or otherwise. The artifact worked on everyone, as long as Ayush willed it.

This was the advantage Ayush needed. He didn't want to rely on brute force or loud declarations of intent—he wanted to slowly pull Rias and Akeno into his web, to make them notice him without fully understanding why. He wanted to break Issei's hold over them and replace him in their hearts without anyone realizing it was happening.

The first time Ayush saw Rias and Akeno in person, he could immediately feel their supernatural allure. He had seen pictures of them online—stolen snapshots from school events—but they didn't come close to capturing the real thing.

Rias moved through the hallways like a queen. Her presence was commanding, but not in an overt way. She didn't need to assert her power verbally—it was there in every step, every glance. Her hair, long and crimson, framed her face perfectly, drawing attention to her striking blue eyes, which seemed to look through everything around her. Her body was equally stunning—perfectly proportioned, with just enough of a suggestive curve to leave people wondering what lay beneath her uniform.

And then there was Akeno. Where Rias was refined, Akeno was temptation itself. She walked with a teasing confidence, her eyes scanning the room as if daring someone to come closer. Her lips were always curved into that knowing smile—a smile that made every boy wonder what secrets lay behind it. Akeno's body was mesmerizing as well—long legs, a slender waist, and a chest that seemed almost too perfect to be natural.

They were perfect. Too perfect for someone like Issei Hyoudou, who trailed behind them like an overeager puppy.

Ayush watched them from a distance for the first few days. He didn't make his move yet—there was no need to rush. He wanted to learn more about them, to see how they interacted with each other and with Issei. It didn't take long for him to notice the small cracks in their relationships.

Issei was always boasting about how he had won their hearts, always pushing his luck with perverted comments or attempts to grope them. But Ayush could see the truth. Rias often looked away when Issei talked, her smile polite but distant. Akeno laughed at his jokes, but her laughter was hollow. There was no real connection between them—no real affection. Issei was a novelty to them, someone they tolerated because he was useful.

That's where Ayush would come in. He would show them what it was like to be with someone truly worthy of their attention.

The next week, Ayush made his first move. It was subtle, just as he had planned. He didn't try to approach Rias or Akeno directly. Instead, he used the artifact to influence their subconscious desires, making them notice him without fully understanding why.

It started with Rias. He passed by her in the hallway between classes, and as they crossed paths, Ayush willed the artifact to take effect. He felt the familiar pulse of energy surge through him, and as he walked by her, he gave her a small smile. Nothing too forward—just enough to make her curious.

Rias blinked, her gaze lingering on him for a moment longer than it should have. Her lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something, but then she shook her head and continued walking. Still, Ayush knew she felt it. She felt the pull, even if she didn't understand it yet.

The next day, it was Akeno. She was sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea with a few other club members when Ayush walked by. He could feel her eyes on him even before he willed the artifact to work its magic. But when he did, the effect was immediate. Akeno's teasing smile faltered for just a moment as their eyes met, a flicker of something darker passing through her gaze.

Over the next few days, Ayush continued his quiet seduction. He didn't approach them directly—that would come later. For now, he was content with planting the seeds of curiosity. Rias and Akeno were starting to notice him more often, their glances lingering longer, their conversations subtly shifting whenever he was nearby.

And Issei? He remained as clueless as ever. He was too absorbed in his own perverted fantasies to notice the slow change in Rias and Akeno's behavior. But Ayush noticed. He could see the subtle shifts—the way Rias's smile seemed just a little less genuine when she was with Issei, the way Akeno's laughter sounded a little more forced.

It wouldn't be long now.

One afternoon, Ayush found himself standing at the edge of the courtyard, watching as Rias and Akeno walked together, Issei trailing behind them, rambling about some new perverted scheme. Ayush smirked. They deserved better than this. They deserved someone who could truly challenge them, who could see through the childish games Issei played and offer them something more.

Ayush decided it was time to take things a step further. He had been content with playing the long game, but now that he had their attention, it was time to move closer to his ultimate goal.

That afternoon, Rias and Akeno noticed him again. This time, they didn't just exchange glances—they stopped, Akeno giving him one of her trademark teasing smiles.

"Ayush, right?" Akeno called out, her voice laced with curiosity. "You're always around here. Why don't you come say hi?"

Ayush smirked, walking over to them. "I didn't want to intrude," he replied smoothly, letting the artifact's power flow through his words. "But it's hard not to notice you two."

Rias looked at him with a curious expression, her eyes studying him carefully. "You're new here, aren't you? But I've seen you around. You've been... hard to miss."

Exactly how I want it, Ayush thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud.

The stage was set. Rias and Akeno were now curious about him—enough to notice him, enough to want to know more. It wouldn't be long before they invited him into their world. And when they did, Ayush would show them exactly what he was capable of.
