Chapter 2 Evil

Kuoh Noah`s Aparment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slightly disappointed, Noah took a shower after he got home.

"Do I still have to sleep?" Noah asked himself, because he felt only slight exhaustion.

`Hm, my body is comparable to a low-rank Devil/Being, so I should still need sleep, though not as much.`

In the three hours Noah spent searching for opponents, he also tested his power and came to the following conclusion:

In Foundation Realm, I should only be able to use Physical Power as far as I have tested it.

I think that in Qi Gathering Realm I can also use my Qi externally, and possibly strengthen my weapons with it.

As for Golden Core Realm? I should then be able to awaken my element(s).

For Nascent Soul, I'm not sure and will have to see when the time comes.

`I should continue cultivating`

5 minutes later

`Crap, I can't empty my mind.`

A requirement for meditating is to have nothing in mind.

`Is it because of my first kill?`

Of course, it was only a "devil", however, devils are intelligent living beings and are nothing other than human beings in principle.

Why should devils be allowed to be killed, but humans not?

What is the difference between them?

Only because devils are another race?

Just because they are evil?

But who decides that they are evil?

We humans? Why do we have the right?

What makes us different? We humans kill, fight among ourselves and kill other races, and so on, so where is the difference?

20 minutes later

POV CHANGE Kuoh Cinema

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Noah walked past a movie theater, he was surprised to see a young girl in a magic-girl outfit running cheerfully and singing into the Cinema.

The girl was singing: 🎵"So-tan, Onee-sama is coming soon."🎵

When Noah looked at the title of the movie, he couldn't help laughing.

The title of the new movie was "My Sister and I".

After a short laugh, Noah decided to go ahead and buy something to eat at the store.

1 hour later

Noah decided not to go home yet, but to train with the sword in a park.

The reason he did it so openly is that it was during the week, and it was already dark, which means the park is empty.

Even if someone sees him, it doesn't matter because he doesn't use any super power, but only trains with the sword, which is nothing unusual in Japan.

`Should I just start swinging?` Noah thought cautiously.

In the end, he decided to bring the sword above his head and swing the sword forward.

He repeated this about 100 times.

*ding*

[New Skill: [Sword Mastery: Beginner(E)]

[Sword Mastery: Beginner(E): You have made the first step, you can now be classified as a beginner. Fight against stronger opponents to increase your rank.]

`Hmm, that was easy`, Noah thought delightedly.

`I should join the Kendo Club at school.`

Speaking of school, Noah decided one thing. I will definitely not join a peerage.

After all, it wouldn't give me any advantages anyway, since as a Cultivator I don't need to worry about my life span.

Whereas something else came to mind.

`How do I explain my strength? This was a matter I thought about and found a solution, but I don't need it yet, because I don't have any energy at the moment, since the Qi in Qi Gathering Realm only strengthen my body.`

After Noah came out of his thoughts, he decided to look at his skills.

[Skills: Inspect(D), Mediation(?), Sword Mastery: Beginner(E)]

`Not bad for a day,` Noah thought happily as he headed home.

There he tried to cultivate again.

This time with success.

----------------------------------------------------------

Timeskip 1 week

----------------------------------------------------------

In a street filled with students, one boy stood out in the crowd.

The boy wore a standard boys Kuoh uniform. What made him stand out were not his good looks, No, not even his pretty long silver hair

What made him stand out, was the fact that he was happily singing without the world in front of him.

🎵I'm blue

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

I'm blue

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di🎵

Yes, the boy was none other than Noah.

The reason he was singing so happily, was because today was his first day of school.

Normally a young man should hate school? Shouldn't he?

Especially Noah, because school takes away his time to train.

Noah saw it differently though, the reason:

`Finally I can fight someone with a sword.`

In the last week Noah killed some Stray Devils, but none of them were stronger than him, and hardly any of them used a sword, which didn't let him improve his sword skill.

When he arrived at the school, he went to the teachers' room to find his homeroom teacher.

On the way, he saw Sona and Tsubaki standing outside, but he was surprised when they didn't approach him to show him around the school or anything.

`The script is wrong,` Noah thought immediately.

After all, it's basic knowledge that in the DxD universe, you're approached by Sona on the first day of school, then perceived as special despite using cheap pick-up lines and then being led around.

Was Noah disappointed? No, not at all, because it saved him time. Time to become stronger.

Others would be disappointed to miss the chance to become friends with two pretty girls, but Noah's priorities were as follows.

Power>Women

After all, the only thing that can protect him in this universe, is his own power.

After he found his class teacher, the teacher led him to his new class.

---------------------------------------------------

Scenes change, classroom

----------------------------------------------------

"Today we get a new student," said the teacher in a monotone voice.

"Please introduce yourself."

"Hello, my name is Noah Ward. I am originally from America and have decided to finish my school education in Japan."

"I'm happy to meet you, if you have any questions feel free to ask me," Noah said with the best smile he could muster.

His seat was in the middle of the class next to 2 other boys.

The boy on his left was called Mob 2.

A young man with short brown hair and an above average face.

The boy to his right was Mob 3.

The young man was what you would call a typical otaku. Short black hair, glasses with thick frames.

One would like to note that he gives off that typical Loner aura.

`Well, better than some arrogant asshole,` Noah thought as he relaxed during class.

During the lunch break, Noah went to the cafeteria with his seatmates, and ate there.

During class, Noah scanned his classmates, but they were all normal.

It should also be noted that none of the main cast is in his class.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After School, Kendo Club

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After class, Noah decided to immediately go to the Kendo Club and join.

Arriving at the club, Noah saw that all the members were female. This did not surprise him, since he already knew that with his prior knowledge.

"Hello, I would like to join the Kendo Club" said Noah as he slowly entered the club room.

"Who are you? I have never seen you here before, why do you want to join. It's not for the girls, is it?"

This was the first thing Noah heard from the side as he entered the club room.

"Of course not, I want to join the club because I am interested in Kendo. In case you don't believe me, I can only tell you that I already have some experience when it comes to swordsmanship, even though I'm still a beginner."

Noah said directly to defend himself and make it clear that he is not some pervert.

When Noah turned in the direction from where he heard the voice, he saw a girl.

She had long blonde hair tied up, and was wearing kendo clothes.

She had a pretty face. However, most people wouldn't call her face pretty.

The reason? She had a large scar that went over her right eye. (Now worry, he won`t heal the scar, so that she will fall in love with him or something like this)

Personally, Noah didn't find that ugly.

"Shall I show you what I can do?" Noah asked with a smile on his face.

"Gladly". she answered without expectations.

"Could you lend me a sword?"

She bent, as she went into a back room and brought a kendo sword.

"How would you like to prove yourself?"

"Can I just do a simple form? After all, someone who's doing this for the first time shouldn't know the proper stance and angle?"

"Ok"

After Noah picked up the sword, he took a straight stance, raised the sword above his head and swung it down vertically.

After a few repeats, he heard a voice from the side.

"Enough. I believe you. It's not perfect, but you shouldn't practice that long, am I right?"

"Yes," Noah agreed with her.

"Good, come here tomorrow after school, since we don't usually have boys here, I'll have to discuss it with the president first."

"What's your name?" Noah asked as he walked out the door.

"Yui Yaegashi"

"See you tomorrow."

Was the last thing Noah said before heading home.

When Noah came home, he immediately heard a system notification.

A few words from Author.

Stats will come next chapter.

I decided not to go the usual

Sona route.

Why did I already decide to start the first world travel? I had planned Demons Slayer all along, but Noah would be too strong for a world like Demons Slayer later on.
