Highschool DXD True Harem King (+18 lemons)

Double Digit Ranking

===== Monday - Day 8 (part 1) =====

----- Outside school gates - Issei POV -----

Can't believe I'm coming to school by myself today. It's been so long. When I first came to this school, I was an unpopular nobody, but now every day I'm surrounded by hotties. If it wasn't for that damn (y/n), I would be top dog around here. He has only been here for a week, and he has already stolen all of my harem, and now, thanks to her brother, even Rias is over there with him.

Issei looks over at the school gates, to see a white haired boy in a leather jacket, leaning against the wall.

Who's that?

Stranger: You don't remember me? This is the second time we've met here.

Issei: It is?

Vali: You're Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor. I'm Vali, White Dragon Emperor, but you can call me the Vanishing Dragon.

Issei: Holy crap.

Issei glances down at his arm where his Sacred Gear usually appears, and in the fraction of a second that he is looking away for, Vali is standing right next to him with his finger pointing directly at Issei's forehead.

Vali: How vulnerable you are. It wouldn't take much to defeat you with my magic. Almost too easy.

Issei jumps back in fright, but Kiba is there and has a sword to Vali's throat.

Issei: Boosted Gear.

Kiba: Don't you think this joke has gone on long enough.

Koneko, Asia and Xenovia turn up behind Issei. Xenovia materialises Durandal and rushes forward to assist Kiba, and Koneko steps in front of Issei to protect him.

Asia: What's going on?

Xenovia: It wouldn't be smart for us to allow you start a fight with the Red Dragon Emperor here, now would it?

Vali: Is this really the best move? If all of you fighting still couldn't bring Kokabiel down, you'll never beat me. But don't take my word for it, keep going if you don't mind causing a scene.

Xenovia and Kiba lower their swords and let them dematerialise, then walk over to stand either side of Koneko.

Vali: Tell me Issei, how do you think you compare to those with the power in this world?

Issei: What do you mean?

Vali: I'm talking about your Balance Breaker. It looks rather incomplete if you ask me. And still a four digit ranking, on a scale of strongest to weakest that is. I'd say between one thousand and fifteen hundred.

Issei: That's great, so what's your point?

Vali: My point is that you're a valuable player. You should be taken care of and nurtured. Don't you agree Rias?

Issei spins around to see Rias and Akeno standing behind him.

Issei: What the hell?

Rias: I don't need your advice. Mind telling me what this is all about? If you've come here on behalf of the Fallen Angels, I can assure you it's a huge waste of time.

Vali: Ha, were you aware that the Welsh Dragon and the Vanishing Dragon are destined to fight? People involved with the Red and White Dragons have never had the best of luck. I'm fascinated, makes me wonder how your life will turn out.

----- (y/n) POV -----

You are finishing your morning routine, and running to school, when you see Rias and the others in what seems to be a standoff with some white haired dude. You run up behind Rias in time to catch the end of what she is saying.
