Chapter: 21

Inside his house, Karma has been training again and just rested only for two hours so that they can take a break for eating snacks.

"Victini is growing rapidly..." Said Karma as he observed Victini growing exponentially while also benefitting him, the host.

"Shaymin and Manaphy are also doing there best, master." Said Garchomp as it showed Karma a transparent board, showing the rate growth of all his Pokemon made by Metagross.

"So? What do you think of me having chances to win against the guy I met?" Karma asked he told them about how he met Azazel and Metagross was scanning his mind and trying to compute their power difference.

Nodding, Metagross answered. "In truth master, you are equal to him but we still don't know if he is hiding something. But within a week, you will easily surpass him." Metagroos assured.

"Okay, we have been progressing fast, how about our group? Are you organizing about it?"

"Yes, master. As you told me, the name of the group will be Apex Predators. Though, we need human members."

Karma already has plans about the group he was about to establish but he still needs to think about how to represent himself without causing much of a fight, at least for now. There might be ways but he must find it out first because if he will be reckless about it, innocent supernaturals might become victims.

"We really respect you not becoming so selfish and don't want to do inhuman acts, master..." Kommo-O honored.

Shaking his head, Karma answered with a tiny smile. "I want to be the change you wish to see in this world..."

Research Occult Club is a clubhouse with a three-story building, with the third story serving as a clock-tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story.

The club room interior is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. One side is set up to be able to be used as a bath, and a large Gremory Family magic circle is also there to allow teleportation to and from clients.

The Occult Research Club of Kuoh Academy was originally abolished due to the lack of members.

Upon her entry into high school, Rias and Akeno revived the club as the president and vice-president eventually changing it into the home base for Rias and her servants.

The club itself serves as a front Rias' servants and other supernatural individuals who appear later in the series, in order to get out of school activities or lessons in case of an emergency, such as having to hunt down a Stray Devil or to destroy a rogue Fallen, Angels.

Sipping her tea while her legs cross, Rias Gremory closed her eyes while savoring the tea her Vice President made, named Akeno Himejima.

Akeno is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair, and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. She was known as the second beauty in Kuoh Academy.

"It seems like Isami is really doing well in her training," Akeno said then placed the folder at the table in front of Rias.

"Of course, compared to his twin brother, Isami is the best chance we could have in winning the rating game," Rias replied with a smile. Then, her expression changed while pondering "It feels odd though, the beast Isami owned is not from the supernatural world, or even at the place of the familiars."

"Let's us not talk about that for now, we are here to relax." Then, Akeno sat beside Rias and faced her. "Hey, it seems like Issei has a crush on you," she said with a teasing smile.

"Yeah, I noticed about it... But he's not my type." Rias answered quickly.

"So, you really are into our prince, huh. Sorry Rias, even though you are my best friend, president, and king, I will not hold back to win his heart." Akeno said with confidence, he was also a fan of Karma and even fell in love just by his character in the movies he acted.

Smirking, Rias retorted. "As if, you heard rumors about him dating Aika right? Who knows, he might also be dating our Kendo prodigies, Katase and Murayama as both of them are always with him."

"Well? Who cares, we already know that Karma is powerful, and powerful men seek beautiful women, well, except if... nevermind. But it will not be surprising if they will verify that Karma is dating the three of them at the same time. It might not be normal in the human world but it's different from us." Akeno shrugged, saying to Rias about obvious things. It's normal in the supernatural world to have multiple wives or even husbands...

"Well, your right about that," Rias answered.

"But president, are you sure you will not recruit him?" Akeno wondered why Rias didn't make any advances at Karma yet.

Rias shakes her head and answered. "Just by scanning his strength, Akeno, there's no chance of a powerful person be in command or obey rules from weaker ones..." She admitted with a saddened tone. "I will win this fight by myself, without relying on my brother. I really also have to win for Riser's peerage and mother..."

Akeno smiled brightly and suddenly hug Rias. "What do you mean 'I'! We are here for you and don't worry Rias. We will always be with you no matter what will happen. You really do have changed and I like this new you..." she said softly while caressing Rias's hair.

Rias answered her while hugging her back tightly and mumbled "Thank you so much, Akeno..."
