I truly pity the fool who thinks of annoying me today.

I am an irritated Necromancer and Sorcerer combo running on 2 entire hours of sleep after heavy dungeon diving. Anybody who wants to piss me off today will end up as Issei's neighbor.

And I still have to go to school. And I also have to avoid the fucking gang of imps that run the place.

I would skip but I vaguely remember how strict Soba was. I would rather not lose affection points with Satan 2's sister.

Also, I am fairly certain that they would approach me today anyway so I should be able to gain something from this goddam school.

They aren't the type to strong-arm people to their peerages and are overall quite peaceful so as long as I don't threaten them or trample on their pride I should be fine.

As I reached the I saw Sora and Tsubasa waiting by the gate making me sigh angrily internally.

'Speak of the devil and she shall come. I am too tired to deal with this infernal demon-shit.'

As I was about to pass by them they stopped me. Basically confirming my doubts.

"Good morning Gojo-kun. Would you mind coming with us to the Student Council Room?" Said Sora with a slight confident and charming smile adorning her lips.

Yep, they are at least 80% sure that I am supernatural and are dragging me in for a thinly veiled interrogation. But I can't and won't let them hold the reigns of this conversation.

I didn't flinch or show any sign of nervousness as I casually tilted my head.

"Sure? But what about classes?" I said as if I gave the slightest smidge of a fuck about classes.

"I already talked to your teacher about it. Hurry and follow." She said as she and T something started walking toward the student council room while I remained deep in thought as I followed.

For sure today I would meet Rias as Sona will likely tell her about me and she already most likely knows of me. Even more likely is that she is going to offer me to join her peerage. Question is.

Do I want to join either of their peerages?

...No, not really.

Rias is arrogant and willful while Sona is strict. While there is definitely a humongous benefit to becoming a devil it is not worth collaring myself for.

Now that I think about it, I may have also fucked Rias over heavily as there is not a chance in hell she is winning against Riser. Well, it's not my problem.

But then think about it for a few seconds longer my already pale face paled even further.

Wait fuck it might be.

Without Issei, she will be even more desperate. Since she lacks the assurance that she has a Longinus wielder on her side. And with the sudden disappearance of the person she was going to recruit, she will be more insistent on recruiting a new member.

After all, she was willing to settle for recruiting Issei of all people for fucks sake. Now without him, she will surely be more insistent on recruiting the mysterious transfer student with unique abilities resembling a sacred gear.

After all, if the sacred gear user I wanted to recruit disappeared suddenly before I got a chance to recruit them, I would be far more active in recruiting the second one.

As I was thinking about this stuff we reached the student council room and I sat down in front of Sona while Tsubaki stood attentively at Sona's side.

After we were all settled in Sona interlocked her fingers as she rested her elbows on the desk and leaned forward like Shinji's father from Evangelion.
