However right before he left Issei could have sworn he heard the sound of something cracking and crumbling near one of the sealed doorways.
Opening his eyes Issei found himself once again in the comfort of his room and yawned as he did his daily stretches.
Unfortunately as he did so Issei failed to keep track of the time and when his alarm rang again the teen froze as he stared at the clock before getting changed and bolting from his room and out the door.
"Issei where are you going? What about breakfast?" his dad called from inside.
"Sorry dad there should be some leftovers from last night you can heat up," replied Issei before he slammed the door behind him and rushed towards school.
Looking at his watch Issei began picking up the pace, "oh man I'm going to be late."
Memories of the Student Council President's last punishment for being late filled his mind, making Issei reach speeds that would make even the Flash himself impressed as he desperately tried to beat the clock.
Finally, Issei allowed himself to feel some form of relief as he saw Kuoh Academy appear in the distance, bringing tears of happiness to his eyes.
Cheering with joy Issei made it into the school grounds just as the bell rang making Sona Shitori sigh as she ticked me off the list.
"You're cutting it a bit close Hyoudou-san. In the future I would recommend you keep a better track of the time," she commented, glaring at him.
"R-right I'll get right on that Kaichou," assured Issei as a chill ran down his spine.
Dismissing him with a wave Issei ran towards his first class, desperate to get there on time and not get himself further in the Student Council's bad books.
He was in such a rush that the teen didn't notice the person in front of him until it was too late and the two of them collided into each other.
Groaning Issei got up from the ground and froze as he saw whom he had knocked over.
Yuuto Kiba otherwise known as the Prince of Kuoh Academy rubbed the back of his head as the school mascot Koneko Toujou helped him up from the ground.
"Good morning Hyoudou-san, I hope you're not injured," greeted Kiba.
Before Issei could reply he was immediately tackled by the horde of Kiba fangirls, "Issei Hyoudou how dare you hurt our Prince!"
Seeing this Kiba just sighed before he and Koneko turned and left, trying to ignore the cries of pain coming from Issei as the fangirls continued their beating.
"Kiba-kun," said Koneko, breaking the silence.
"What is it Koneko-chan?" asked Kiba as he turned to face her.
"Hyoudou-senpai has a large number of different scents coming from him but the strongest is of a dragon," stated the girl, causing her companion to stumble.
"Could he have a Sacred Gear?" he replied with a frown.
"Possible," replied Koneko.
Kiba sighed before heading to the clubroom, "We'd better tell Buchou about this."
Issei sighed as he rubbed his recent wounds from the fangirl beating and headed home as the last bell of the day mercifully rung, "um excuse me are you Issei Hyoudou?" asked a female voice.
Spinning around he saw a female teen in a uniform he didn't recognize standing shyly in front of school gate, "that depends why are you looking for him?" he replied, cautiously.
God knows he'd had enough with the girls here beating him up for 'touching their Prince' and he was in no mood for the beatings to continue.
"Well my name is Yuuma and I was wondering if you're seeing anyone right now?" she asked, hopefully.
"No not right now…why?" frowned Issei.
"I was hoping we could go on a date," she replied, cheerfully.
Issei's brain literally came to a crashing halt at this, a girl who he has never met before asking him out on a date.
If he were part of those 'Perverted Duo' he would have leapt at the opportunity to go on a date with a woman like that.
Don't get him wrong, he loved Oppai as much as the next guy but it was tempered by common sense, something that is apparently sorely lacking in those two perverts.
As it was this was definitely odd and a little suspicious but his mother did always tell him to give people a chance, besides what's the worst that could happen?
Giving her a smile he nodded, "sure why not, is Sunday at the shopping district any good for you?"
"Yes I'll see you there!" she shouted, happily before running off.
"Well maybe my abysmal luck is finally about to change," grinned Issei happily, not noticing the watchful eyes of Koneko as the girl emerged from her hiding place with a frown.
All in all the date was going rather well; it had started off a bit weird with some cosplayer giving him a flyer which he then placed in his cardholder but after that,
everything seemed to be going great, in fact Issei couldn't remember the last time he'd had this much fun."
Hey Issei-kun, could you do me a favor?" said Yuuma as the two stopped by the park water fountain.
"Sure Yuuma-chan what is it?" he asked, although an uneasy feeling began spreading throughout his body.
"Could you please die for me?" she replied with a sickeningly sweet smile as black crow like wings appeared on her back.
Issei's eyes widened and he immediately dodged to the side as his instincts screamed at him to move, only to cry out in shock as a light spear hit the spot he had been standing previously.
Issei quickly backed up and glanced at the spot had a just vacated and blanched as he saw a smoking creator remaining.
Yuuma what the hell are you doing?" he shouted, fearfully.
I'm sorry Issei but you're a threat to us and need to be eliminated. If you want something to blame then blame your own terrible luck for having being born with that Sacred Gear inside you,"
replied Yuuma uncaringly as she readied another light spear.
