High school dxd: As Sukuna

"This is Koneko, and this is Kiba," Rias introduced the only other members of her peerage for now.

Even though I knew most of Rias's peerage, she didn't know that, so I played along. Even if Rias and I weren't as close as Sona and I, I respected her as Sirzechs' sister and Sona's best friend.

"He looks like a reincarnated human. Does he have a Sacred Gear?" I asked, nodding towards Kiba.

"Sword Birth," Rias replied.

"Nice. And I can't identify her..." I said, looking at Koneko with an inquisitive gaze. I was really curious to see her cat ears.

She got scared and hid behind Rias as she saw me looking at her weirdly. "Don't bully my rook," Rias said, holding Koneko protectively behind her.

"Fine, I was just curious. I'm sorry, Koneko. I didn't mean to weird you out," I smiled. Koneko huffed and looked away.

[Get her some snacks; she likes chocolates.] Rias said to me telepathically. She seemed pleased that I wasn't being an asshole and was talking to her peerage like equals.

I put my hand on Koneko's head and rubbed it a few times before pulling away as she swatted my hand. Seeing the tinge of red on her face, I chuckled at her glare.

"Cute..."

"Let's go. Or else you're going to bully poor Koneko to tears," Rias said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the school building. "You both can get back to your stuff," she told Koneko and Kiba.

"We could just teleport," I suggested.

"Then I wouldn't be able to show you around the school that you'll be going to from tomorrow," she smirked.

"I'm going to go to school?" I asked, suddenly dreading my stay here.

"Not really, just show your face every once in a while. It gives you an identity," she shrugged. She herself didn't attend many classes.

"Works for me. Doesn't seem that troublesome."

"Lazy..." Rias snorted.

Just then the room lid up and a person came from the magic circle.

"And Al.. Can I call you Al." Rias asked.

"Yes,"

"Al, This is Akeno, the queen of my peerage."

"Fufu, I heard lot about you, Alastor-sama." Akeno said.

"Alastor-sama? We are of same age, no need for formality, Akeno, Just call me Alastor."

"Alright, Alastor, " Akeno said.

Then I turned to Rias

"Do you want to learn how to use the Power of Destruction better?" I dangled the carrot in front of her, knowing full well how much she desired that mastery.

"You'll teach me?" Rias perked up, eyes wide with excitement.

"Sure, why not? But I'll lord it over you every living moment of the rest of your life," I said with a smirk.

"I don't care. I'll agree to any condition. Just teach me. Sirzechs doesn't have any time, so if you'll teach me, I'll be so, so grateful..." She said hurriedly, almost desperate.

Well, Sirzechs was the one who told me to help you, after all, I thought.

Rias just looked at me for a moment without saying anything.

"What's wrong?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing," she said, shrugging it off. "Just that, You are different from what I thought of You, I didn't think that you would kind enough to teach me to master my power of destruction, so thank you, Al."

I shrugged. "Don't mention it. It's not like I'm doing it for free, remember?"

She nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "I won't forget. And I'll hold you to that promise."

I laughed. "Looking forward to it. And tell me Rias, the reason why you want to become stronger is to avoid you wedding."

"Was it that obvious?" she sighed, her smile fading a bit.

I gave her a knowing look. "It's not hard to figure out. Power can be a means of freedom."

"Yes, I'm engaged... And I don't want to marry the fucker. It's all going to boil down to a rating game in the end." She sighed as she told me.

"I see," I said thoughtfully. "Well, If I remember it right, Riser is your fiance, Right."

"Yes,"

"Then you should ready for some tough battle and I haven't had a match against him, I really need fight him to see his regeneration power." I said with a smile.

All Rias see, when she looked at him was the crazy Rating game master, who pick fight with anyone without a ounce of fear.

Rias also remembered the famous incident in underworld, which give him the name Annihilator.

The incident in which the person in front her break opened Sona's Ex-fiance house nearly killed him after learning Sona was forced to engage with her Ex-fiance.

Because that incident, he was nearly banned from Rating Games. But because her Brother and Serafall interfere that incident was quickly suppressed.

But Sirzechs warned him not cause such incident and he couldn't initiate a rating game without a proper reason.
