Chapter 10 : Drama
The following day, Issei's parents left for their vacation. They seemed a bit unhappy about it being on such short notice, but Issei knew they would change their mind once they got there.
He rode his motorcycle to school, and actually decided to park it more appropriately today. He was surprised when he saw Tiamat and Vali waiting by their bikes when he pulled up.
'Damn…are they waiting for me?' Issei thought incredulously as he pulled up.
"Yo, Issei, about time you got here. Do you make it a habit to show up five minutes before class?" Vali asked with a laugh.
Issei shrugged, "Pretty much. I like to spend as little time around this place as possible."
"I meant to ask you yesterday, Issei, what kind of dragon are you?" Tiamat asked as the three began to walk towards the school building.
"Just a high-level flame dragon…nothing crazy," he replied.
Tiamat looked at him curiously, "Hmm…is Issei your real name?"
He nodded, "Pretty much."
"I've never heard of a flame dragon having the ability to transform and conceal his power. You're stronger than that," Tiamat said shaking her head.
"Well I'm sort of unique…but seriously I'm nobody important," Issei replied.
Vali stared at him for a moment, "Hey, Issei…would you be interested in meeting Ophis? She could make you more powerful if you wanted."
'So much for not trying to force me to join the Khaos Brigade. These chicks are seriously being pushy,' Issei thought.
'Technically they haven't actually asked you to join again. But this is definitely them trying to get on your good side. They're remarkably persistent. Although considering it's Tiamat, why am I surprised?' Ddraig remarked.
'It makes sense I suppose. Ophis did send them to this town to find a dragon and recruit people for their little faction. I wonder how she knew I was here? If we meet her, she'll immediately be able to tell I'm the Red Dragon Emperor,' Issei thought concerned.
"I don't really have much of a reason to get more powerful. I'm trying to stay out of all these wars and shit, you know?" Issei tried to talk his way out of the corner.
Vali frowned, "Yeah, but you're a dragon. All dragons want to get more powerful, famous, and rich. Greed is in their nature. You seem too strong-willed to have no ambition or goals to get more powerful."
"What the hell would you know about dragons…devil?" Issei said darkly.
Vali sighed, "No need to get mad. I'm just going off of what I know from seeing Tiamat."
"Heh, she's not wrong, Issei," the blue haired dragon said with a chuckle.
As the three passed into Kuoh Academy's front doors, they were met with the wide-eyed stares of everyone present. Every single guy in the room was radiating envy at the sight of seeing the two new sexy transfer students following Issei.
The girls all began to cluck around and gossip like made hens.
"Issei-kun is hanging out with the transfer students?!" one declared.
"They're so beautiful…why are they following that prick?" a guy said sadly.
Issei appeared even more desirable to all of the girls in the school now as the two bombshell hotties followed him to their class.
"Is he dating one of them? Both maybe?" one girl gasped.
"I saw them riding motorcycles away from school yesterday. Are they in a gang or something?" another said.
"Issei-kun is taken? How is he ever going to notice me with girls like that hanging around him?" Issei overheard one girl whisper to her friends.
Just a simple stroll to class, and it already seemed to be spreading like wildfire that these two girls had a thing with him. Issei found it amusing, but was slightly embarrassed because Vali and Tiamat undoubtedly heard it all too.
Right before they made it to class however, Issei noticed Sona and the gorgeous red haired girl from the other day talking to each other further down the hallway. They both turned and stared at the sight of him, Vali, and Tiamat all walking into a classroom.
'Oh shit…now the devils are going to think I'm with them. Ughh…the drama never ends at this school,' Issei sighed.
