Right now Izuki could only sigh after eating breakfast with Rias with the girl leaving him before he finished getting ready for school, Izuku was in his seat listening to his homeroom teacher while ignoring the whispers from his classmates who were talking about him....the reason they've seen him interact with two of the great Sisters of UA high, seen him interact with the only Gentleman of the school who was entitled as a white Knight and also they've seen him eating with the one who was entitled as a Midget Mascot.
This placed Izuku in a war with most of the boys in school who gave him glares because they wanted to be in his place but to Izuku he didn't care what they think.
But Izuku was thinking about what Rias said to him about her being the one to deal with the sleeping arrangements for Ibara and Asia...he did wonder when he'll see them again but he'll have to wait a bit longer when...
"OI, YOU FUCKING REJECT!"
This made Izuku stop in his tracks and sighed just as when he was so close to go home, he turned around to meet the one and only douche Fucker, Katsuki Bakugo with what looks to be his classmates with one of them reprimanded the pomeranian for his colorful words towards Izuku but the bastard simply ignored him.
"What do you want?"
With the way Izuku was glaring at Bakugo it just made him pissed.
"What I want? I WANT YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF THIS SCHOOL IS WHAT I WANT! YOU THINK YOU DESERVE TO BE IN UA?!"
"...So...just because I'm in UA YOU think it's your mission to make my life a living hell? I'm not even part of the Hero Course, I'm not even harming your chances in this school...and just because I'm alive you hate me?"
Izuku then walked towards him with a look of rage that made Katsuki silent which put his other classmates into wonder.
"I'm not your punching bag, I'm not your friend....and I'm not someone you should mess with anymore Katsuki Bakugo, so leave me the hell alone cause if you don't...you'll wish I taken your fucking advice"
And then he left but not before waving at the one known as Ochako Uraraka who waved back.
With Bakugo he felt his hands shake with a shock look on his face...feeling fear for the first time and the one who made him like this....was the Quirkless freak himself.
It was later in the evening where we see Izuku taking a nice walk on the park enjoying the sound of children playing, having fun and being so innocent...it made him go through his past....his past? Right, it's hard to even remember while only seeing bits of it and seeing the puzzle not showing the full picture.
He just sighed while checking the time, with that he head home.
And he wasn't expecting the situation that was infront of his apartment, seeing stacks of boxes in front of his apartment, with both Rias, Asia and Ibara standing right next to them. Rather than answering what the boxes were for, in which she said she would do later, Rias only told him to bring them inside.
"Let me get this straight…" Izuku said slowly, making sure that he had heard it right the first time, "You want Ibara and Asia to board in with me?"
Izuku was looking flabbergasted at Rias request thinking this was a moke but seeing her face with a smile on it...he knew it wasn't and it looks like both Ibara and Asia seems to like the idea of living with him...but to him having two girls here was a mixture of danger for him and it might get worse when Rias starts her shenanigans.
"Izuku, think about it," Rias said towards the Greenette, "You're the only one who's shown the drive to help them in need and they seem to enjoy your presence and I know they make you feel at ease, right?"
"Uh...I don't deny it but...come on, isn't there something else you can do?"
"Well in that case," Rias continued, moving in for argument #2, "What would you say if both Asia and Ibara use the time while living with....as Bridal Training?"
She said this with smile on her face with Izuku, Asia and Ibara blushing at the words Rias just said.
"ROSE DON'T JOKE ABOUT THIS!"
"Who said I was joking and besides this might help with you interacting more with girls who are around your age besides me and if I remember correctly you still feel a bit anxious when you meet new people don't you?", Rias said with a giggle that it made Izuku steam up.
"Um I know that I'm inexperienced but please take darw of me Izuku-san!" She said this while bowing her head.
"Same as I, Midoriya-san I hope that you treat both me and Asia with care while we're living with you", Ibara said this while also bowing towards Izuku, who could only sigh at this but he did smile.
"I understand...I promise that I'll make sure you two have the best years of your life."
Rias smiled as she watched Izuku patted the two girls on the head. Turning to the side, her smile dropped as a weary look appeared in her eyes.
'A bride, huh…?'
"Hey, you okay?" Izuku asked after he noticed her current behavior, but didn't get an answer from her as she was still looking at the ceiling with her look still intact. He also noted that this was the second time she started spacing out like this.
'This time she did it after I talked about marriage. Could she be in a forced marriage and she wants no involvement in?' Izuku could only guess this as he had no idea what she really was spacing out about and made him rethink about the bird that disappeared during Asia's and Ibara's welcoming party.
The thought of that, made him narrowed his eyes.
The very next day, with Izuku do his early workout him, Asia and Ibara left home and made their way to school. And right now the many boys and girls who were among the school were staring both oddly and enviously with a hint of suspicion at Izuku and the two girls.
Once again, Izuku was walking to school with two very attractive beauty's but Izuku did his best to ignore the stares, settling for the company Ibara and Asia gave him...with Asia shaking nervously.
"Hau~..." Asia whispered nervously, twisting the handle of her schoolbag with both hands. "My first day at a school for he first time, I'm really nervous about this..."
"Ibara, did you go to school? Maybe Asia can learn what it was like" Izuku asked the vine Quirk user, who patted Asia on the head to at least calm her nerves.
"I don't remember much, just a single small elementary school," Ibara told him. "But when I became a Holy Maiden along with Asia, I was made to stop going to school altogether and given a private tutor. They told me that the Holy Maiden was far too prestigious to learn 'menial lessons'." Izuku could hear some hint of loneliness in her voice as she said it.
Izuku cringed sadly. Both Ibara and Asia really did felt lonely after they became a Holy Maidens. Both were adored and admired, but never loved for the person they were. The fact that Asia was kicked out of the church just because she healed a devil with Ibara who followed her just because she knows how good hearted Asia is but it further reinforced the point of how the people there were selfish and ignored the needs of a girl still in her adolescence.
With that Izuku gave Asia a smile which she lightly blushed "Don't worry. We'll be in the same class so both me and Ibara will be there for you."
"Thank you, Izuku-san," Asia smiled, a light blush on her face with Ibara having a smile on her face as well, feeling a burden close to leaving her chest at seeing the interaction between Asia who she sees as a sister and Izuku who saved them both with his will power and his strength alone.
Later on in the day, Izuku, Asia and Ibara were in the Occult Research Club room lounging around with Rias, Yuuto, Koneko and Akeno. Even without anything to do, both Former holy Maidens enjoyed the company. It was warm and welcoming. Quite unlike the loneliness thry felt back in their home village. Izuku was sitting on one of the sofas with Ibara right beside him and Asia on his left side, enjoying the bag of sweet pastries in his hand that he was lucky to buy. Both Akeno and Komeko were sitting on the couch across from them, enjoying the pastries also with Koneko who had gotten hold of the bag and had already eaten half of it, much to the surprise of Izuku who sweatdropped at the 2nd years love of sweets. Yuuto was sitting in a chair nearby, reading a book while Rias sat at her desk, fulfilling paperwork.
Each of them chatted among themselves, having fun. At least, that was the case until both Asia and Ibara explained where they'll be staying. "Ara ara, you're living together now?" Akeno asked, a sly smile on her face. "So, when can we expect a wedding?"
"Akeno-san!" Izuku stuttered, his whole head glowing red from embarrassment.
Ibara and Asia, though equally as embarrassed, silently liked the idea.
Deciding to change the subject, Rias spoke up. "You can tease Izuku a bit later Akeno" [this made Izuku narrow his eyes at Rias with a light blush that covered his face]"But enough about that, here's why we're really here," Rias got up from her desk and pointed at Izuku and Asia. "It's time we got you two familiars."
"Familiars?" Izuku asked.
"What are they?" Asia asked.
"Familiars are very essential in devil society. Think of them as like sidekicks. They can back you up with various tasks and can assist in battle." Rias snapped her fingers. In a puff of smoke, a small cartoony bat with dark red fur appears next to her. "This is my familiar, Moka. You actually already met her, Izu-kun."
"I did?" Right as Izuku said that, Moka changed into a young woman, wearing a vampire-style outfit. Izuku recognized her right away. "You're that girl who gave me the flyer!"
"And it was a lucky thing you kept the flyer," Rias nodded as Moka turned back into a bat.
"This is Shiro, he's mine," Koneko said, showing a small white kitten in her arms.
"Aw, he's cute!" Both Asia and Ibara cooed at the total adorableness of Koneko's familiar, leaning forward to scratch the feline on the ears. The little cat gave a small purr, enjoying the scratches.
"And this is mine," Izuku looked over at Yuuto, showing a small bird on his forearm.
"So Asia and I are going to get familiars now?" Izuku asked, admiring the bird.
"Well, about that..." Rias was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "Oh, we have visitors. The door's opened!"
The young devils stood up as the door opened up, and stepping into the room was a group led by a girl the same age as Rias. She was slender and a little shorter than Rias. She had short, bob-cut styled hair being held together by a single clip. Her eyes were strangely pinkish and were behind a set of red glasses with oval frames that gave her a cute and professional look.
Next to her was a slender woman with split bangs long black hair that freely fell to her knees and blue rectangular glasses behind heterochromic eyes, the left being violet and the other one brown. The rest of the teens behind them consisted of five girls and one boy, some wearing U.A. uniforms...with one one the girls staring at Izuku with a smile that dawned her face. "Sorry to interrupt," the bob-cut greeted the group with a small smile.
"Who are they?" Ibara whispered.
"They're mostly U.A. students currently running for positions in the Student Council," Yuuto answered, having overheard. "The one in front is Sona Shitori and the other one next to her is Shinra Tsubaki."
Rias then smiled at Sona. "Good to see you again, Sona," Rias greeted. "What can I do for you?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to congratulate you on increasing the number of your servants," Sona replied. She then smiled slyly. "It took you long enough."
"Wait, how does she know?" Izuku asked.
"Because her real name is Sona Sitri," Yuuto told them. "And just like Buchou, she's a high-class devil and next in line to lead the House of Sitri."
"Huh? So then, other students at U.A. are devils just like us?" Izuku blinked until his eyes widened when he saw someone who's in his class but just was when he was about to walk towards her, he was stopped by a male voice.
"It's pretty surprising you haven't told the newbie about us, Buchou," the sole male of the Sitri group said. He was somewhat average looking with grey eyes and shaggy light brown hair. He wasn't wearing a school uniform. "But if you can't trust him with inside info then I guess he isn't worth much."
"It's considered bad form for devils from other households to interfere with one another, Saji," Sona reprimanded him, causing Saji to look at her in surprise, "It isn't all that surprising that Rias hasn't told him anything about us yet. And that's the point of this visit anyway." Sona then turned to the others. "This is Saji Genshirou, my second and newest Pawn," Sona introduced, smiling.
"This is Midoriya Izuku, my new Pawn. And this is my second Bishop, Asia Arigento," Rias smiled, gesturing at the two of them.
"Oh, what about her" Sona said while pointing at Ibara who felt like a fish out of water until Izuku toched her shoulder calming down her nerves.
"This is Shiozaki Ibara, she's went through the same thing as Asia and is living with me" Izuku said this while bowing his head.
"Um, I'm pleased to meet you," Asia bowed, "I hope we'll get along."
"Sure! I'm all for it! Let's be great friends!" Saji greeted back with a friendly tone as he shook her hand. Izuku was slightly unsettled by Saji's forwardness. He simply let it slide as he introduced himself next.
"Pleased to meet you, Saji-san. I'm looking forward to working with another Pawn," Izuku smiled, extending his hand.
Saji, on the other hand, snorted as he cooly smirked at Izuku. "Yeah, yeah, sure," he scoffed arrogantly. "Dude, you might be nice and all, but you're nowhere on my level. I took up four Pawns on my own!" the braggart continued after a breath for dramatic effect, "Maybe someday you'll be able to meet me on equal footing and we'll see who's the better Servant."
This placed Izuku in a position that made him think if he wants to just put this dude in his place while his eyes had a faint glow.
"Midoriya took up eight pieces. It's always better to get your facts straight before you make a complete fool of yourself," Sona quickly spoke.
Saji's eyes widened at Izuku's Evil Piece worth, "What? Eight pieces? This guy? How did he manage that?!"
"My apologies for my Pawn's naivety," Sona told them. "He's young and eager, but he still has a lot to learn and needs to appreciate the finer points of civility."
"Y-yeah," Saji frowned apologetically as he rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry about that."
Izuku didn't say anything for a few seconds until he showed Saji a smile that held...rage
"It's okay," Izuku said, with Saji sweating while feeling like he just saw a dragons image behind the Greenette
"That reminds me, you're planning on getting your two recruits familiars soon, right?" Sona asked Rias.
"Yes, what of it?" Rias asked.
"Then it looks like we've got ourselves a deadlock," Sona frowned worriedly. "I planned on getting Saji a familiar for him around the same time. And only one of us can enter the Forest of Familiars."
"In that case," Rias smiled, "How about a friendly little contest to sort this whole thing out."
"A contest?" Sona repeated, looking surprised.
"Whoever wins earns the right to find a familiar first," Rias challenged, "Does that sound fair?"
Sona arched an eyebrow, "Surely you aren't talking about a Rating Game."
Rias chuckled humorously, "Oh, no. We'd never get permission to do something like that."
Sona gave a relaxed smile, "You have a point about that. Besides, this isn't the time to call attention to yourself, now is it?"
Rias suddenly frowned as her eyes flashed slightly. "Don't go there." Izuku looked at Rias at the sudden unpleasant look on her face. His look of womder were eased somewhat as she gave a smile, "I know, let's settle this the old-fashioned high school way with sports."
"Oh? Sounds interesting. I'm game," Sona smiled back. From the way the presidents were looking at each other, sparks seemed to fly between them.
"Uh, Kiba," Izuku whispered, "Is this going to be okay?"
"Don't worry so much," Yuuto answered with a smile. "Buchou and Sona-senpai are childhood friends and they've been competing with each other since they were in diapers. They always challenge each other when they get the chance."
"Healthy competition? If you say so..." Izuku noddedhis head but deep down he knows this healthy competition might be a bit...chaotic.
'Interesting way of seeing it Partner'
'...glad to hear your voice Ddraig'
Seeing that Izuku was busy talking with the knight of Rias Gremory, the girl could only sigh.
'We'll be able to talk later'
