~ It's morning already, I hate the sun, it always keeps me from sleeping in peace.
~ Haru, stop complaining, you still need to get ready for the academy. Sona said to the lazy one.
~ Ah! Sona, you're still here?
~ Of course, I want a kiss before I leave. Sona said, making a cute pout.
Haru said nothing more and just kissed her.
Haru was really getting used to this routine of just kissing without a quickie or foreplay.
[Scene change]
Haru arrived at the academy and saw the pervert heading to the club.
As Haru continued toward the classroom, he saw an orange bird with red feathers on its head and tail tip, and a yellow beak.
In Haru's opinion, it looked delicious, so he went to catch it.
Haru approached the bird, which was the size of an adult chicken, climbing the tree as quietly as possible.
He noticed the bird was watching Rias and her stupid pair.
Haru pulled a shirt from his inventory and caught the bird, covering its vision. Immediately after, Haru snapped the bird's neck and tossed it into his inventory, since nothing alive could be stored—it had to be dead.
Haru headed to class, smiling more happily than usual. Why so happy? Well, he was going to eat a type of bird he'd never tried before, and if there was anything Haru enjoyed as much as women, it was sleeping and food.
[Scene change]
After getting home, Haru went to prepare the bird he caught earlier.
After Haru made the yakisoba and placed it on the dining table, Sona arrived via a magic circle.
~ Hey, Sona, I thought you'd arrive later.
~ I finished with the clients early. By the way, Haru, this yakisoba smells really good.
~ Well, wash your hands first so we can eat while it's hot.
After Sona washed her hands, she and Haru sat at the table.
~ Itadakimasu. Both thanked the food.
[Secret mission completed]
[Eat the familiar of the rising phoenix]
[Reward: HP recovery time halved: 50 vitality]
Haru choked on the notification.
What do you mean, familiar? Could it be its child? No, no, no, impossible, it doesn't have a child. I think I saw something in the anime? But what?
~ Hey, Sona, what's a devil's familiar?
~ Hmm, why do you want to know?
~ I overheard some devils talking about familiars when I lived in Brazil, but I didn't understand what they were.
~ Well, familiars are supernatural creatures used as servants or allies of devils. They're also a basic requirement for all devils. They can assist their master with various tasks, gather information, deliver messages, and perform any odd jobs their masters might imagine.
~ I see, sounds pretty useful.
This is going to cause me problems in the future, Haru thought.
After dinner, Sona said it was the best yakisoba she'd ever eaten, but it wasn't chicken—it was a familiar. Sorry, Sona, Haru was mentally crying.
[Scene change]
When Haru left for the academy, he saw Rias training Issei. He ignored them and moved on.
Rias glanced over and wondered why his magic was higher today as well. She started thinking he'd make an excellent bishop, but she only had a rook and a knight.
Maybe one of those could work, a rook, since he always leaves Issei in bad shape. For a human to do that to a devil, especially the Sekiryuutei, he must be pretty strong. Those were the foolish girl's thoughts.
[Scene change]
After Haru entered the classroom, he saw the pervert who'd do the world a favor by being dead. Haru sat down with that innocent little smile the pervert hated so much, lamenting that he couldn't harm a normal human.
After a while, the teacher arrived and introduced the new student, while Haru checked the ex-nun's status.
Asia Argento

Issei is a failure. Sighing mentally, Haru started thinking about what he'd do if Rias challenged him.
Even if I'm slower than Kiba, I'll have an advantage with Observation Haki. Though I'm sure that Maou siscon will drag me into the marriage issue one way or another. Come to think of it, Rias falls for the pervert after he saves her from the marriage. Hmm, maybe I should steal his harem. His middle leg doesn't even work anyway, and the old council members would never accept him like that since he can't continue the lineage.
After plotting to take the pervert's future harem, Haru fell asleep, certain that Asia was impossible. If she were still human, she'd give her soul to the pervert without a doubt.
[Scene change]
After class, as the pervert was heading to the club with the ex-nun, Kiba approached Haru.
~ Kurokami Haru-kun, the president of my club would like to speak with you.
Kun? This emo avenger wannabe called me kun? I'll make him pay for that, stupid emo. Haru thought, irritated.
~ Okay, it better be quick, Yuuto-chan.
Chan? Kiba thought.
Haru knew that to surpass Koneko's strength and Kiba's agility with reinforcement, he only needed to put 50 points into strength and agility.
[Scene change]
~ What a horrible place, you guys should clean it up. Haru said boredly, following Kiba, the pervert, and the ex-nun.
~ Hey, don't talk about our club like that! The pervert shouted.
~ Issei-san, it's okay. The ex-nun tried to calm the pervert.
~ It's not okay, Asia. I can't let this bastard talk about our club like that.
~ That's enough, Issei-kun. Let's go in, Haru. The president is waiting. Kiba said.
After entering, Haru saw how clean the place was inside.
Walking a bit, Haru noticed a door on the right with seals.
That's where the transvestite vampire is. Haru thought, still annoyed with these shitty devils.
After reaching a door, Kiba knocked, and Haru saw Akeno open it for them to enter.
I want to grab those breasts, Haru screamed mentally.
When Haru entered, he saw someone in the shower.
While Haru kept a calm face, the pervert's nose was bleeding, until Koneko hit him.
After a moment, Haru saw a scene he was used to: a woman coming out of the shower with a towel, though he was accustomed to seeing them without one.
~ Welcome, Haru-kun. Rias said.
~ Why is there a bathroom in this room? Haru asked the most logical question in the world. Who in their right mind would put a bathroom in a meeting room?
~ Because if I feel like taking a shower, I can do it anytime during the day.
~ But during class hours? That's very strange. Haru said, and Rias ignored him, going to change behind a screen in the room as well.
What the hell, even a changing screen in the room? Devils are crazy, Haru thought, until Akeno brought some tea.
[Herbal tea: divine class]
[You'll regret it if you don't drink it]
Screw it. Haru thought.
So Haru reached into his shirt, pulled out a flask of whiskey, and started drinking.
Everyone in the room was surprised to see a 17-year-old drinking.
~ I don't like tea, hime-chan. Haru called her princess, leaving the half-devil girl with rosy cheeks.
~ Ara ara, Haru-kun, don't tease me like that. Akeno said with a fake giggle.
~ What are you talking about, hime-chan? I haven't taken you to my bed yet to be teasing you. Haru said with an innocent little smile that Akeno loved, while he heard the pervert grinding his teeth in anger and frustration.
Then Akeno sat next to Haru, pressing her breasts against his arm.
~ Ara ara, Haru-kun, we can change that quickly. Akeno said, leaving Asia blushing and Issei crying on the floor.
~ Perverts. Koneko said.
Kiba stayed out of the conversation.
When Haru was about to tease Akeno a bit more, Rias interrupted.
~ That's enough, you two. She said, thinking she had authority.
After Akeno moved to Rias' side, the moment Haru was waiting for arrived.
Haru had already put 50 points into strength and 50 into agility in case something happened.
~ So, Haru, do you believe in the supernatural? Rias asked.
~ Sitri asked me the same question, Rias Gremory-senpai. Haru said, leaving the devils surprised, Issei and Asia confused, but Rias was the most shocked of all. Her best friend and rival, Sona, hadn't said anything about Haru or called him without telling her. Rias didn't know if she felt betrayed or annoyed that Sona hadn't said anything. They had a deal, after all—whoever saw him first had the right. But Rias knew Sona would let her have him because of her problem. She was certain of it, but now she wasn't, and she started wondering what else her best friend and rival was hiding from her.
A fiancé, perhaps? One who doesn't even know he's engaged?
~ I see. So, Haru, would you like to join my peerage? Rias asked hopefully.
~ No way. Haru replied, crushing her hopes.
~ Why not, Haru? Devils have long lives, you can have a harem, and they're stronger than humans. Rias said, trying to convince him.
~ It's not worth it. Haru said quickly, expressionless.
~ Why isn't it worth it? Becoming a devil only brings good things. Any human would love to be in your position. Rias said with a bit of hope.
~ Besides the weakness to light, there's nothing I'd gain by becoming a devil. Haru said, still expressionless.
~ What about long life, a harem, strength beyond humans? Rias said.
~ Living too long is boring. I can have a harem whenever I want. I don't need power I already have. So, the only thing I'd gain by becoming a devil is a weakness. Haru said with a scowl.
Rias didn't know what to do. Then she remembered him saying he didn't need power he already had, so she did what seemed most logical at the moment.
~ Then why don't you fight one of my servants? You'll see the difference between a devil and a human. Rias said without thinking of the consequences.
The pervert got excited, thinking it was his chance to get back at Haru for what he did to him every day.
Asia still didn't understand. The others were surprised by their King's idea.
Koneko, however, knew something was off with Haru.
~ Very well, Gremory. Why don't you all come at me at once, and I'll show you how weak you are? Haru said calmly, standing up from the couch, making everyone a bit angry for calling them weak, especially the pervert.
~ You bastard! The pervert summoned the Boosted Gear and went to attack Haru.
~ Boost! Came the voice from the gauntlet.
~ Issei, no! Rias shouted, but it was too late.
Then the unthinkable happened: Haru grabbed Issei's arm with ease, shocking everyone, even Asia, who still didn't understand.
~ Is that all, you shitty eunuch? Haru said, leaving everyone even more shocked for calling Issei a eunuch.
Asia didn't know what it meant.
But they were stunned when they saw Issei panic.
~ What? How do you know about that? Issei shouted.
Now they knew, except for Asia, that Issei had no future as a harem king.
Koneko was happy that the pervert's dream would never come true.
After all the shock and surprises, Rias took them behind the old building for the duel, thinking Koneko would be enough to defeat Haru.
Well, I have 136 strength and 138 agility. If I use reinforcement, I'll have 408 strength and 414 agility. Kiba has 340 agility, and Koneko has 320 strength.
With my Observation Haki, they don't stand a chance.
Haru was thinking about how to humiliate the pervert now.
Haru stood 15 meters away from Rias and her peerage. Since Asia couldn't fight, she stayed out to heal the injured.
Asia soon gave the signal to start, and Issei came at Haru with everything, doubling his power.
Haru activated Reinforcement, his body covered in a blue aura, tripling his strength and agility.
In an instant, Haru vanished and appeared in front of Kiba, landing a powerful punch square in his face, sending him crashing into a tree, breaking it.
