Chapter 7: Highschool of the DxD

Currently, I was walking to school in the morning. After having slept for barely over an hour I was pretty damn irritated. My frequent eye aches did not help with that.

Due to having been born with what I assume is light hypersensitivity, I have to wear sunglasses like a fucking chump.

I was currently wearing a fully buttoned-up Kuoh Academy uniform without the stupid ass tie. As I was walking I passed by several female students and...

Holy hell, those skirts barely cover anything. All it needs is a slight breeze to show your underwear to the whole wide world.

I approve.

The only things I disapprove of are the overly complicated school outfits. Why does the girl's uniform have a fucking cape?

Anyways to mostly cover up my incredibly unusual eyes and sunglasses I went full hentai protagonist style and made my hair cover most of my upper face. It was mostly messy as I couldn't be bothered to comb it.

I was barely able to be bothered to come to school. Honestly, I would skip it if it didn't put attention on me. All I wanted was to be left alone for now and build up my army and strength.

I had already gone through high school once and I wasn't looking forward to going through it again. At least now I had superhuman intelligence backing me up so it won't be as horrible.

But as I arrived at the school gates I saw her .

It felt quite weird to see someone you thought was just an anime character alive, living, and breathing.

'Sona Sitri' and the girl next to her whose name I don't remember. Hopefully, they dont notice anything off about me. After all, they shouldn't, I am barely leaking barely if any cursed energy from me. Curious I decided to use observe on them.

I want a refund.

This so fucking unfair. Just how hard are humans shafted? I took a whole ass heavenly restriction and even I don't have anything close to that MP multiplier.

Not only is her stats higher than mine but they are just straight up BETTER than mine.

I really need to cover that gap.

I arrived in front of the gate, hoping that nothing stands out about me other than my paper-white hair and sunglasses and my exceptional height.

Just as I was thinking that Sona and her... Queen? I think approached me.

"Gojo Akira-kun right? I am Souna Shitori, the student council president here at Kuoh Academy. I am here to show you around the school as well as to handle some paperwork."

She was honestly the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life with her rather slender physique and enchanting amethyst eyes. Regardless I didn't let appearances distract me as I answered.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Shitori-san."

Damn, and I was planning on just avoiding the main cast like the plague but this changes things.

I'm hindsight I probably should've expected this. That in a world like DxD that becoming the harem king would actually be a genuine method to power.

And I like power. And I like women.

Whelp, I guess I'll aim to become the "Harem King" then. Fuckin hell.

Hahaha , just what has my life turned into? As I was browsing through the notifications I was also "attentively" listening to Sona and Tsubaki leading me around the school. Thanks to my increased intelligence I could do both.

"By the way, Gojo-kun, why are wearing sunglasses to School?" Sona asked suddenly in an inquisitive tone. Though I could also pick up hints of ice and warning to it. Likely disliking the fact that I am blatantly disregarding the dress code.

"I have photophobia, my eyes are incredibly sensitive to light and without my sunglasses, I get frequent eye aches and migraines. If you would like I can remove it but I would prefer not to." Of course, I prepared for this question. Only I didn't know if I was lying or not.

"O-oh, I see, in that case, it is fine for you to keep wearing them." Hearing my words she seemed slightly embarrassed while her queen slightly snickered behind her before being shut up by an icy glare.

As we were walking through the school I had discovered another use for my sunglasses, I could stare all I wanted without being discovered which was very nice when you are walking behind 2 very attractive devils.

Speaking of, how the hell can I see so well with sunglasses? Even with sunglasses and hair covering my face, the world looks completely normal. Pretty freaky. After a while, Souna showed me the whole school most of the school before dropping me off at my classroom.

After that, the teacher pulled me up to the front of the classroom to introduce myself. Thankfully I think I know the generic introduction you make to a Japanese classroom.

"Hello everyone, my name is Gojo Akira. It is nice to meet you all."

[+20 Affection from Aika Kiryu ( For having a big cucumber ) ]

You know? I am not even going to question the how. I could already assume who she was from the girl creepily giggling to herself with a blush, she was quite cute I guess. I also heard the reta- 'Pervert Trio' moaning and complaining to themselves about me not being a cute girl. I am fairly certain that just by being in their presence that my intelligence is getting a debuff.

Ignoring them I plopped down on my seat and realized after 10 minutes of the teacher explaining the subject that this was unbelievably below me. Thanks to my superhuman intelligence all of this was baby play even excluding the fact that I had already gone through high school.

So I decided to take a nap. Occasionally I was woken up by the disgruntled teacher asking me a question but I would easily answer. But I failed to notice the gaze of one handsome blond devil staring at me from behind.

After classes passed and it was lunch I decided to head down to the cafeteria. But as I was walking down the halls I caught sight of a white-haired loli with amber eyes staring at me from a distant corner of the corridor before sniffing the air and hurriedly turning and running away, for some reason followed by a bunch of people who I assume are fangirls.

[-10 Affection from Koneko Toujou (Bad smell) ]

Whuh? I just took a bath though...

'Touki is similar to cursed energy'

Fuck, she can sense my cursed energy to an extent. Godammit, so much for "staying low". Damm, this must be a fucking record with how fast my cover has been seemingly blown. But, having one of the main heroines at negative affection could be pretty bad for me. So I pulled out my hidden card.

Quite literally.

[Silver card of Hearts: Use to boost someone's affection by +10. Can only be used once per person.]

These bad boys dropped from random chests in the dungeon. I only had one silver and 2 bronz ones.

Tapping on the card I used it on Koneko, getting her back to 0. I dont know how that will change her thought process but I dont care too much as long as it doesn't hurt me. After I used the card on Koneko I resumed my walk to where I remember the cafeteria being.

But as I was passing through I saw scarlet in the corner of my vision. Turning my head to look at exactly what I saw in the corner of my vision I was met with the girl herself mysteriously looking at me from one of the windows in the school. And our eyes locked as she brushed a strand of her ruby-red hair out of her face before smiling at me.

I immediately turned away and pretended to not see anything. Speeding up my pace I arrived at the cafeteria quickly while internally panicking all the way through.

[+5 Affection from Rias Gremory (First impression) ]

Why thank you.

Wait no, can I just last a single moment without attracting the attention of at least 5 supernatural beings per second, please? I was going to reveal myself eventually but not THIS fast.

Sigh. I will just enjoy my meal and worry about them later.

...

After a long day, I was finally allowed to go back home. Although I appreciated the normalcy of the school environment I really did not enjoy the teachers repeatedly trying to catch me slipping like they were trying to prove something.

I of course managed to answer all of their questions thanks to my intelligence. Not many people approached me after class due to me not really giving off a friendly vibe I guess.

Except for that glasses girl. She was weirdly insistent on talking to me. I humored her because I honestly had nothing to do.

Surprisingly, she was quite good company. So I decided to mark her as my first test. She was good-looking, rather humorous, and fun to be around so I have decided to pursue her as my first "love interest" I guess.

Just by interacting with her and cracking the occasional joke, I was able to get her to 30 affection. Which the system marked as Small Crush.

Maybe I will ask her to a date tomorrow. See how this dating system ticks. She seems to be on easy mode considering how much of a pervert she is.

And because of this heavenly restriction penalty, I may as well be a pervert too. Through with more restraint. I really needed to get laid soon or this libido will drive me insane.

As I was contemplating I felt something bump into me before crashing down. Managing to take out an entire 5HP. As I turned around to see who bumped into me my eyes widened.

"Sorry for bumping into you man!" Said the shorter brown-haired boy with the back of his hair tied in a small ponytail that had average looks.

Issei Hyoudou.

The protagonist.
