New Hero In DxD Chapter 10
Advertisement
After the classes of the morning, Soma was already tired of being there and started to wonder if he should look into homunculus creation, if only to have a body double to come to classes for him. It should take about two or three weeks to set something up if he had enough materials, it would be a massive undertaking that would cost him some time, but it honestly was looking like a better option than staying in class by now.
He was not learning anything and from the class his only friend was Aya. Earlier today some other kids tried to approach him but Soma noted the eyes they shot at Aya so he promptly shot them all down since he was not interested in having idiots like those around.
In truth Soma wanted her to ask for help already, if only so he could start the rampage he was planning since the first day he met her, but if she didn't say anything then he wouldn't act. She had to take that first step, as infuriating as that might be.
When the lunch bell rang Soma was about to go talk with Aya when the door to the classroom opened.
"Soma-nii, Kaichou wants to see you." Momo said making Soma sigh a bit. He hasn't yet found any devil so he didn't yet know WHO to avoid, as such being the center of attention to any larger degree sounded like an awful idea to him, and having a meeting with the Student Council president who garnered so much attention sounded awful.
However, Soma knew that just saying 'no' would just make Momo keep yapping about it and that would be very much annoying and bring possibly even more attention. Sighing he decided to just get done with it and go for this stupid meeting once and just say whatever it was that was needed to make this president no longer mind his existence.
"Aya, I will go to this meeting or whatever. Enjoy your lunch and if anyone annoys you or try anything then tell me afterward, I will make sure to let those who didn't let you eat in peace can eat their own teeth." Soma said with a smile that made everyone in class shiver a bit and Momo sighed, not knowing from where her cousin learned to talk and act like that.
'And he was such a good kid before his coma.' Momo thought and shook her head.
Aya just nodded her head and then started eating quietly at her table to which Soma nodded before leaving class, sending a single glare and a very small dose of killing intent at the girls he felt would be trying something as soon as he left.
Strangely enough, the red-haired one of them actually smirked back at him and send him a kiss, Soma thinking it weird as the girl seemed to get excited at his glare.
Deciding to ignore the strange girl he moved along with Momo.

Soma's P.O.V.
"So, Momo-chan, what exactly does the Student Council do?" I question. It is honestly weird to be called n day three of school to the Student Council and, even if that is so, I need to know if I actually have to worry about anything.
"Well, we do a lot of things that go well beyond what normal student councils do. As the school focus on giving autonomy to the students and help them learn the most of whatever area of expertise they are we of the Student Council have quite some influence. We manage the budget for the clubs of both High School and Middle School divisions, mediate disputes between students whenever possible, manage the field trips for all school below the University, help regulate the students' morals with check-ups, are responsible for buying any resource that is spent during the school's functions, and a few other things." Momo explained and I for the gist of it.

Basically, the Student Council is not important for me in any meaningful way beyond Momo-chan being there. Got it.
We move through the halls of the school and there is a clear difference between High School and Middle School in terms of equipment. There is also a commotion in the distance as three male students are running away from a bunch of girls, maybe they are too popular or something? The girls over here do seem too horny if I am to be honest, there is even a twin braided one that dropped her books after looking at me and just a glance and I can tell she was about as horny as Kiyohime sometimes, which means it is entirely possible she would rip away mine or whoever she was fixating pant's off and force themselves on them.
True story.
Reaching my destination I look on at the student council room. I have to admit that it was far more opulent and extravagant than I think it should be, even the doors are not like those of the rest of the school being of pure Sandalwood. Not only that, the place was classy but as, far as I can tell, this place was clearly more than what one could rightfully expect from what should in fact amount to little more than a club of the school.
The chairs are all brand new, clearly, all bought in the last two years at most, and are of the very expensive type that would normally be reserved to only the chairman, if that. The main table which the president works at is made out of mahogany and is intricately carved, which should cost a small fortune, and the chair which the president is sitting on clearly is of far too high a quality. There are also several other things throughout the room that would cost a lot of cash, even a cappuccino machine on the corner I am pretty sure is brand new and should cost more than a teacher's three months salary.
... For all that, pretty sure she is redirecting the budget from the school for her own benefits, it would certainly explain the lackluster clubs that can be found in the Middle School division if she is redirecting the money that should be spent in other areas to herself.
It IS the responsibility of the Student Council to manage the budget destined for the students in general and a preferential treatment is to be expected from any organization led by people, but isn't this too much? Is it possible that no one noticed this or does she use her influence to silence everyone that tries to speaks up. It is the only logical explanation, either that or she bought everything with her own money which means she is a rich idiot that needs to have too many comforts and flaunt her wealth at everyone.
No good, no good, I am not good when it comes to dealing with these sort of people. I want to crush people like that, but I should not do it with this girl. She works with Momo-chan, so I should at least try to be nice.
"Tea?" the president asks me and I nod, the vice president quickly moving along and bringing forth some teacups and serves me a tea that at a glance I can tell is expensive.
... Is she showing off how much she had stolen from the school?
I am no good with corrupt people, ya know? My teachers always told me that I should crush any corruption I see as it only causes chaos and damage, seeing someone flaunt the fact they are stealing doesn't sit well with me. I wonder if I could hypnotize her and make her an upstanding member of society.

... No, I can't. Well, I can do it very easily but I don't want to risk the devils noticing when I turn someone like her into an upstanding citizen that doesn't make me want to drop-kick her.
Well, not that these considerations will stop me from drinking the tea anyway. The tea is innocent and I could use the drink, my throat is slightly dry after all for a while now since I have seen it.
Walking to this place I have passed by some of the demons that are in town, all acting as if they are humans and it made my skin crawl to see it. Especially that red-headed one, the energy she was letting off was as if it wanted to destroy everything around her, it was toxic to the point I almost gagged and felt as if my very instincts were telling me to stab her with the pointy and of my new sword and keep stabbing until this energy stopped polluting the world, but she was smiling about and trying to act as if she was a normal person instead of a demon. An energy like that is all-consuming and I do not believe someone with such a power should be allowed to roam the world freely at all. There were even many girls calling her 'one-sama' or things like that, as if she was the school's idol or something. I need to be careful around her, this person is far too dangerous.
At least in this room of the Student Council there are no devils around me so I can be slightly more relaxed, even if only slightly. I have identified the Gremory king (the red hair was a dead give away) of the town but not the Sitri one. If the Sitri king's very existence is also equally toxic then I will have to see the devils in town as extermination targets and move accordingly.
"So, why have you called me here Shitori-Kaichou." I questioned the president, Sona Shitori.
She was a relatively attractive woman with short black hair and a slender figure, her face having rather unique eyes of purple color and glasses that made her have a unique aura about her. In truth, after hearing that her name is Sona I thought she might be Sona Sitri, but I can't sense any energy from her and I rather doubt a devil would change only their last name. If you intend to disguise yourself you either change your full name or just don't bother, changing only your last name is stupid.
If I were to guess she might be working for the actual Sona Sitri and was put in a position of relative power due to having the same name, make the enemies gather to attack this decoy and letting the devil move about in relative incognito and find out any enemy this way.
... It is what I would have done in their place, at any rate.
"I have heard that you have awakened from a rather long coma about a month and a half ago and has returned to your education recently. I would like to know if everything is alright considering you seem to have caused some commotion on your first day of classes after arriving late and missed classes the day after."
"Oh, that? To be honest, I am quite alright, I just don't really care about classes all that much and I had more important things to do." I answered simply enough. Anyone who would put stupid classes as being more important than the health or safety of someone just because of societal rules is stupid anyway.
"More important things? What could be more important to you than your education and future?" Sona asked and I smiled serenely at her.
"N.Y.B." I answer easily enough.
"... What?" Sona asks not understanding what I am talking about.
Sheesh, that is why corrupted administrators are annoying, they are all stupid and can't understand anything beyond flaunting their meager power and causing inconvenience to others.
"Not. Your. Business. I have no obligation to answer you about what I do in my life nor do I have any need to answer your inquiry. My reasons for not coming to class sometimes are my own and I honestly would have rather not have had to come to this school at all, I could have easily enough just done some tests to get my high school diploma next year and then bought my way into a university. My only reason to come here was that my uncle and aunt sent me here and I want to make sure Momo-chan is doing well, beyond that I don't give a single fuck about it."
There, now they should stop carrying about me and just let me in peace.
"... I see, interesting. But, as the student council president I can't just let you do as you please." Sona said and I snorted.
"Sure you can, I am not even in the Highschool division and you can just pretend I don't exist, it is simple enough really." I say before taking out my bento.
"Even if you say so as the student council president I... Are you seriously eating right now?"
"Well, duh. It is lunchtime and I feel like eating." I answer. I don't know if after getting out of this classroom I will be followed by the devils walking around so I probably won't have a chance to eat in peace after leaving this place. Even if these people of the council look at me weird I don't care, better to be known as a disrespectful person by them than being attacked while eating by the devils in town. Besides, I like my own food and I made some chicken pie that I really like.
"SHOW SOME RESPECT." An annoying blond extra said as he tried to be intimidating by coming up to me who was sitting up. He has a forgettable face and seems angry about the way I am acting, he was trying to seem big by coming onto me that is sitting down and seems to want to beat me up for not groveling at Sona's feel. ... He is annoying so I just punch him in the nuts.
... I don't like when people shout at me or try to intimidate me. I can handle that when the person in question is stronger than me, I can hold in the grudge for later, but a weakling has no such considerations. Besides, he was right at the right angle so I can just think of him as a stupid idiot who comes up to me while showing off his weakness.
Some of the other members of the council are getting agitated and are spouting nonsense, but I don't care since the food is good and I would rather enjoy my food instead of carrying about them. They were the ones that pushed me into coming over and cut short my own lunch, and then their corrupt leader is trying to push me around as well to follow her orders.
Why should I give a damn about what they are spouting? The only ones in this school I care about at all are Momo-chan and Aya-chan, beyond them I don't give a single damn about the rest really. If the school literally exploded and all the students died inside except for Aya and Momo then I wouldn't give more than a passing glance at it really.
"Soma-nii, apologize to Saji." Momo said and I rolled my eyes.
"Do I have to? He was the one who shouted at me and he tried to threaten me by moving onto my personal space as if he wanted to punish me for speaking the truth. Shouldn't it be the contrary and him apologizing for overreacting over the fact I didn't grovel at the feet and whims of the president? If he wants to be a pet dog who waves his tail around like a little bitch then it is up to him, but why should I try to emulate him?" I ask honestly.
There was considerable silence after my words and Saji's face, which was contorted in pain, also contorted in anger before he tried to lunge at me.
I let him pull me along as he pushed himself on top of me, but as he did so I kneed him in the balls again and he almost passed out from the pain. Getting off from underneath him I dusted my uniform before sitting back on my chair and continuing to eat.
Sona was stunned as well before speaking.
"You do know that you could get a suspension over what you just did, right?"
"So, my punishment for not coming to class would be to not come to class? Yeah, that sounds terrible." I chuckle at her words.
"I meant punishment over attacking another student." She says with slight traces of irritation in her tone and I shrug.
"I doubt this will happen seeing as you would also have to punish mr blondie over there since he also attacked me and I only acted in self-defense. Considering he is one of your subordinates it won't look good for you if he is suspended and if you only do it to me then I can easily enough spread the truth of things to other students and you will look like an authoritarian and corrupt person who hides away the blame of your subordinates while punishing those who are not working under you command." I say easily between bites. These eggs are quite nice, but maybe I could put some extra peppers on them next time.
Oh, maybe make mapo toffu tomorrow, it should taste great.
"You are quite a... unique student." Sona says and I shrug.
"Not really, I am quite average in my own opinion. It is just that I am not some idiot sheep nor a bitch who obeys others blindly. I follow my own rules, simple as that." I say between bites. I then drink some tea and burp at the end there. Yep, this tea is high class alright.
"... How about a wager then?" Sona asks and I continue eating, savoring my bento. "We play a game of chess and if I win you apologize to Saji here and will take your schooling more seriously."
I think for a moment before swallowing the food in my mouth.
"Sure, and when I win I don't want you to summon me anymore nor will there be any repercussion over what I just did." I say easily enough. The less I have to come here the better, there would be less of a chance of me being noted by Rias Gremory, the devils walking on the town, and Sona Sitri who is much more devious considering she is hiding amongst the staff or student body of the school.
///---///
It took 13 minutes to finish the game, Sona may be a corrupt administrator that likes to act like a Queen with everyone having to obey her and show respect, but she is good at chess at the very least.
She even managed to take out four of my pawns and one bishop, not bad at all. She did lose all her other pieces and ended the game with not a single piece left, but she was still quite good.
Well, she still can't begin to match Holmes and Moriarty when it comes to chess and with those two as teachers, it is only natural that I am decent in the game. Her lasting 20 minutes against me is a testament to her skills, I will give her that much.
Going back to my classroom I note that Aya isn't around the class anymore. Looking around I turn to one of the other students and ask nicely.
"Hey, where is Aya?" I ask and the little boy in front of me tries to act tough.
"I don't know and I don't care." He says and I put a hand on his shoulder and begin t pressure.
"You sure you don't know? If you know it and don't tell me I would most be displeased." I said easily, he begins to squirm as my pressure increases and he tries to pull back, but fails.
"I, I really don't know. All I know is that her brother came over to talk to her and the two left together." The boy said and I left his shoulder.
"See, was that so hard? Next time, be a dear and tell the truth when someone asks a question, who knows what the other party could do to you otherwise." I say happily while giving him a slight tap on his cheeks.
These sort of people are the types that are cowards at heart, if you want info from them then just give them a slight threat and they will tell you all you need to know.
Leaving the classroom I begin to search for Aya. It took until near the end of the break until I found her, she was sitting on the back of the shed used by putting some sports equipment.
Sitting beside her I can almost taste her fear and discomfort. With a glance, I can see her wincing and with the way she moves I can see she got injured again, her scalp is also slightly red which shows her hair was most likely pulled or something to that extent. My hands close tightly at this scene but I hold it is.
"I have to go back home today. My parents were w-worried about me since I just vanished like that." she says and I frown, my anger rising, but I don't let it consume me. If she intends to go back I will let it happen, but before she does so I will need to put some insurances in regards to her situation. Even if she returns home I can't let her go back just to be abused and hurt like that.
I won't hurt anyone directly unless she talks to me, I won't express my desires freely unless she asks me to protect her, but I can covertly do something about it to improve her situation at home. As for a little revenge over her 'brother' who is clearly a piece of trash if what I am saying is any indication, that won't be me doing the talking. I promised Aya to not do anything and only act after she asks me to, and i will keep my promise.
"I see, I won't stop you but please remember you have a room at my house for whenever you want or need a place to stay the night." I say and she nods slowly before getting up. "I have to go the bathroom real quick, see you in class." I tell her as I leave her go in her own way. As soon as she is no longer in sight I take out my phone and make a call.
It takes a bit before someone answers me.
"Yes?"
"Rintaro, did you find anything of those I wanted you to find?" I ask.
"Yeah, yeah, I found four gangs that mess with drug dealing, prostitution, and all sorts of shady business as well as two stray devils near the industry district. Oh, and I also found three loan shark companies, this town really is badly managed. If in one morning I could find so much shit, then I have to wonder how much more there is, truly a town managed by devils." Rintaro asks and I snort.
It makes sense that scummy people like Rintaro can find other scum more easily than proper little ladies of devil high society or their little lackeys, if Mittlelt's information about them is to be believed. It is a bit weird that it was so simple to find two stray devils just like that, but even if they are little more than potential nuisances for my plans I might go and capture them later tonight. I need to learn more about devil physiology, their weaknesses, their strengths, and especially need to find out what I can make using them.
"I want you to temporarily stop any further investigation of the town, I have more important things I want you to do. You are to go to those drug dealer gangs and steal a lot of drugs from them. At least 30 kilos of their stock, if possible more, but make sure no one knows it was you, if that proves impossible kill whoever gets in your way and leave no witnesses nor energy signature that it was you. Remember, stealth is the most important since we want as little attention to this robbery as possible and that no one connects it to us. Oh, and if they have videos of child molestation or any other twisted shit of the sort I want you to take it with you as well and bring it all to me." I say.
"Okay, that works for me and all, I did that a lot before for quick cash. But what you want with all that junk though? You planning on selling this shit or something for cash?" He asks.
"No, I don't want to distribute or spread such trash around, but I have some ideas over how to make use of said trash to my own benefit." I say, an evil smile on my face no doubt.
I promised Aya I would not do anything directly unless she asks me, but whoever almost choked her to death was a member of her family. I won't kill any of them, nor rip out their souls, or serve their heads and make them survive as only a head before I bury it underground in the pathway of the sewer systems, or any other of the other hundred 'small' punishments I was thinking of doing to whoever almost chocked a little girl to death for no good reason.
But, even if I won't do that (for now, who knows about the future), it doesn't mean I can't get some justice. Just the thought of what will happen makes me smirk, a plan on my mind all the while.

AN:
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and the fic so far. People have been requesting for Soma to start taking action in regards to Aya's situation and, while he won't show himself doing anything there is just so much he can handle before he goes for the kill. Instead Soma will be 'merciful' and do things in a less overly violent manner.
Well, kinda.
Anyway, for those who are wondering who the characters I am using are from other series, they are as such:

8 157The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
