Chapter 54: Class Visit

"... can you two please not participate in this class visit?"

Lucias begged while standing in front of Iris and Shuri who were preparing their cameras with a desperate expression on his face.

"Lucias, there's no stopping us from participating. I want to have a picture of you in school for my album"

Iris said causing Lucias to hold his head as a headache assulted him before glancing at Irene who was preparing her daughter for school.

"Remember to wait for me in front of your school, alright?"

"Understood"

Erza said with a stiff expression on her face before glancing at Lucias who is now her step-father.

"I'm sorry that I won't be able to visit you with your mother, Erza"

"It's ok"

Erza said before pouting her cheeks causing Lucias to guiltily smile.

"I'll buy you your favourite cake, so please forgive just this once, alright?"

Lucias said with a helpless smile on his face causing her eyes to shine as she stared at him in anticipation.

"Remember your promise"

"I will"

Lucias assured as he gave her a small peck on her cheeks before grabbing his bag as he got ready to go to school.

"Then, see you later everyone"

Lucias waved his hand at them before walking out of the mansion with Akame, Kurome, Mikan, and Yoshino by his side causing the others in front the mansion to smile at their direction.

"I forgot to mention this but... who's going to attend your class visit Yoshino?"

Lucias asked the blue haired girl by his side out of curiosity causing her to shyly look down on the ground as she answered his question.

"T-Tobiichi-san a-and K-Kurumi-san will attend... my class visit"

She shyly answered while holding his hand as all of them walked towards the Academy.

"How about you two?"

Lucias asked the two sisters who were following both of them from behind.

"Najenda and Najasho will be attending ours"

Akame answered in a monotone voice while Kurome happily skipped by her side.

"... I guess with all of us there... nothing bad should happen..."

"Oh! I'm fired up!!"

Issei shouted while clenching his fist in front of him causing Lucias who was standing beside the window to look at him with an odd expression on his face.

"... It's quite rare to see you this motivated... Don't tell me that Sandra is planning to come here with your parents..."

"H-How did you know, Lucias-sama!?"

Issei asked while looking at him in shock.

"... You're too easy to read, Hyoudo Issei"

Lucias said with a wry smile on his face before looking out of the window to try and locate the 4 people that would go to his class.

"Who's going to attend yours, Lucias-"

Issei asked but immediately shut his mouth, remembering that Lucias was an Orphan who didn't knew his parents.

"I-I'm sorry Lucias-sama"

"It's alright. I'm already used to it"

Lucias said with a smile on his face, indicating that he wasn't affected by his words.

"But still-"

"Just forget about it, Issei... besides someone is attending my class visit"

Lucias said with a nonchalant expression on his face causing Issei to look at him in curiosity.

"Is it Asia-sama?"

"No... Let's just say that... She's my adoptive mother, I guess?"

Lucias said with a complicated expression on his face but froze when he saw a familiar golden haired little girl who was following a voluptuous woman with long curly golden hair and eyes wearing a simple dress as a single mole decorated the corner of her eyes.

"WOAH! WHAT A BABE!!"

A boys of his class shouted as soon as they saw Iris who was wearing an illusion to make it similar to Lucias' appearance while Hanna followed her with a sweet smile on her face.

"... Lucias-sama... That's your adoptive mother?"

Issei asked noticing the similar facial features that both Lucias' and the woman has.

"... It's... complicated, Issei... That's why I would appreciate it if you don't ask anymore questions about it..."

Lucias said with a forced smile on his face before gazing back at the 2 girls walking towards his school.

"... Where's Shuri?"

He whispered to himself as he searched from the window until his eyes stopped at the figure who was silently flying above the sky with concealment covering her entire body, staring at the 3rd year classroom with excitement.

"Nevermind..."

Lucias said before gazing at Najasho and Najenda who came inside the academy, wearing casual clothes.

"... And here I thought they were busy dealing with the Gastreas and Demons in this city but... I guess everything is already under our control"

Lucias muttered to himself before sitting down on his desk beside Issei who was nervously waiting for Sandra to enter.

"What a day..."

Timeskip

"Onii-chan!"

Hanna who came inside the classroom shouted with a sweet smile on her face as she hugged Lucias who looked at her in bewildered by the way she called him.

"Onii-chan?"

"... Lucias... do you expect her to call you "papa" while at school? It will cause a lot of trouble if they found out that you have a 6 year old child"

Iris said in a strict tone while watching Lucias hug his daughter in his arms with a soft and gentle smile on his face.

"Where's Kunou?"

"She's being registered as a member of the faction starting today, Yasaka also signed an agreement with us to send reinforcements to their faction since they're getting pressure by the Heroes Faction back at Kuoh"

Iris answered in a calm tone causing Lucias to frown while remembering the hero faction who escaped their grasp even before they arrived at Kuoh a few days ago.

"You should go back to your seat, class is about to start"

Iris said as she took Hanna from his embrace.

"Everyone sit back down, class is about to start"

Their english teacher who just came inside the classroom said causing Issei to narrow his eyes while looking at their teacher.

"... He... more pumped up than usual?"

He muttered before glancing at Sandra who gave him a thumbs up to show her support.

"Try making something you like with the PVC clay I handed you just now. An animal is fine as well. A person is fine as well. A house is fine as well. Whatever image you're thinking about in your mind right now, try making it into a shape. That sort of English conversation is also there"

He said as several pieces of clay wrapped in a cloth were handed out to each of them.

"... How is this related to english?"

Lucias muttered while looking at the piece of clay in front of him in confusion as he couldn't understand the purpose of this activity.

"..."

Issei who heard his instructions sweated profusely as he didn't expect for this to happen, especially when he was planning to show off in front of Sandra.

"Just relax, Issei..."

Lucias comforted while unwrapping the cloth around his clay with a casual expression on his face.

"A-Are you also bad at this, Lucias-sama?"

"... I have no experience in clay molding but... I have experience in every field of craftsmanship so..."

"No... Forget that I asked..."

Issei said in depression before lifelessly grabbing the clay in front of him.

"Do your best, Onii-chan!"

Hanna shouted while waving her hands at Lucias causing him to unconsciously smile as he started to play around with his clay.

"Let see what I can do..."

Timeskip

"Papa, why are they all there?"

Hanna whispered close to his ears while pointing her finger at the end of the corridor as several flashes of camera came out of the open doorway.

"I don't know..."

Lucias answered before noticing Kiba who was on his way inside the room.

"Kiba, what brings you here?"

He asked causing him to stop in his tracks as he looked back at Lucias who was holding Hanna's hand.

"I heard a witch was doing a photography event so I thought to see it a bit"

He answered causing Lucias to narrow his eyes before noticing Issei and Sandra who were both making their way towards the room.

"Lucias-sama? What's going on inside?"

"It seems like a photoshoot is being held inside..."

"A photoshoot?"

"Yeah, judging from the way Kiba described her as a 'witch', I guess we have a cosplayer inside the academy"

Lucias said before walking inside the room together with Hanna while both Sandra and Issei followed both of them from behind.

Inside they saw a young girl wearing a mahou shoujo cosplay while being surrounded by several men who held cameras in their hands. Taking her picture as she did several poses while spinning the magical wand in her hand.

"Oh! Mil-tan!"

Hanna said as she excitedly ran towards the girl while Lucias frowned from the sense of nostalgia that he felt while looking at the cosplayer on the stage.

"Why does she look... familiar?"

Lucias muttered before placing Hanna on his shoulders for her to see the cosplayer due to the amount of people that was blocking the way.

"Hey hey! You, who's doing a photography shoot on a public path"

Saji shouted as he entered the room before walking closer to the crowd of people.

"Hey hey, disperse disperse! Today's the day for displaying classes to the public! Don't make a ruckus at this kind of place!"

He shouted causing the crowd to disperse as they ran away from the scene, leaving only Lucias, Hanna, Issei, and Sandra on the scene.

"You too, please don't wear that kind of costume. Wait, would you be a parent perhaps? Even if that's the case, you know there's a dress code according to the place. This is troublesome"

"Eh, but this is my uniform☆"

The girl said with a pout until her eyes met with Lucias who was looking at her with a weird expression on his face.

"Hmm~"

She hummed as she circled around Lucias like she was studying his entire body before her eyes landed at Hanna who was staring at her with sparkling eyes.

"What a cute child! ♡"

"..."

"Mil-tan likes me!"

Hanna said in a childish voice causing the girl to smile as she tried to take Hanna to her embrace.

"... I would like it if you don't touch my dau- my little sister..."

"Mou~ I just wanted to hug her, you're such a meanie!"

"..."

"Oh, it's Rias-senpai. You came at the right time. I was just guiding Maou-sama and senpai's Otou-san"

Saji respectfully said at the back as Rias came inside the room followed by Sona who froze at the sight of the woman.

"Sona-chan! Found you ☆"

The girl said as she clung to Sona who standing still with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"Aah, it's you, Serafall. So you came here as well"

Sirzechs called as soon as he noticed her figure causing Issei to look at her in confusion.

"No wonder that I found her... familiar"

Lucias muttered while placing Hanna gently to the ground causing Issei to look at him with a questioning look on his face.

"It's Serafall Leviathan... one of the four current Maous, and... Sona's elder sister"

Lucias revealed causing Issei to look at her in surprise.

"Ehhh!?"

Issei shouted in shock as he couldn't believe his words causing Sandra to giggle from his reaction.

"Serafall-sama, it's been a long time"

Rias respectfully greeted as she approached Serafall with a friendly smile on her face.

"Ara, Rias-chan☆. Long time~☆Have you been doing well?"

Serafall said in an overly cute tone causing Rias to smile wryly as she answered her question.

"Y-Yes. Thanks to you. Did you come today for Sona's class visit?"

"Yeah☆Sona-chan is really mean. She didn't tell me about today! Geez! Because of the shock, Onee-chan was going to attack Heaven☆"

"What a unique sister you have... Sona-chan"

"Please don't call me that Lucias"

Sona retorted in a tired voice while looking at the teasing expression plastered on his face.

"Issei Greet her."

Issei immediately bowed his head in front of Serafall as he introduced himself her.

"N-Nice to meet you, I am Hyoudou Issei. I am Rias Gremory-sama's servant, pawn! I'll be under your care!"

"Nice to meet you☆. I am the Maou Serafall Leviathan ☆. Call me Levi-tan☆"

She introduced causing Issei to smile wryly at her direction.

"And you are?"

Serafall asked while looking at Lucias' direction.

"Lucias Frey, a student of this academy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Serafall-san"

Lucias said with a light smile on his face while Serafall observed him closely in curiosity.

"So you're that Lucias that Sona-chan keeps talking about"

"Hmm... So Sona likes to tell you stories about me, huh?"

Lucias muttered as he glanced at Sona who was hiding her blushed cheeks from him.

"Hey, Sirzechs-chan. Is this boy the rumoured Dragon-kun?"

"Yes, he's the person in which the Welsh Dragon resides, Hyoudou Issei-kun"

Sirzechs answered, ignoring the way Serafall called his name before they all conversed with each other together with Rias' parents.

"They get along quite well"

Lucias muttered before teleporting Hanna out of the room and back at the mansion so she wouldn't get involved if anything bad happens inside the academy.

"What's wrong with you, Sona?"

Lucias asked, noticing the brightly blushing Sona behind them as she tried to control the embarrassment that she felt from elder sister's actions.

"Sona-chan, what's wrong? Your face is completely red, you know? Since it's the long awaited reunion with your onee-sama, me, I think it would be better if you were a bit more happy? 'Onee-sama!' 'So-tan!', calling like that and embracing each other in a yuri way, that sort of development is fine with me as well, Onee-chan!"

Serafall said as she hugged her little sister in her embrace.

"…O-Onee-sama. This is my school and I am entrusted with the job of the student council president here… No matter how close relatives we are, Onee-sama's behaviour is, too much… I can't approve of that sort of outfit"

"No way, Sona-chan! If I am told that by Sona-chan, your Onee-chan will be sad! Sona-chan doesn't know that her onee-chan is admired as the Magical girl! Since with the glittering stick, I erase angels and fallen angels ☆"

Serafall stated causing Issei and Lucias to oddly look at her direction.

"What an... odd pair they are"
