Indomitable will

Prologue

Author Note:

This is the actual chapter. Warning some of the content will be exactly as the light novel as I need to build up to the point where the canon timeline diverges. The main content will start from next chapter, this is more of a prologue. Also, the timeline won't be the same. After the Scene in the ORC club...there will be another 2 months till the match with Sairaorg. ON with the story...

Disclaimer: I don't claim ownership of High School DxD it all belongs to Ichiei Ishibumi.

Prologue: A Hero's Choice

After school, after the meeting ended.

Azazel and Rossweisse left because they still have things to do as teachers.

The ORC prepared for the school festival with the remaining members. Looks like me and Kiba have to do power related tasks.

...I then glanced at Buchou. She's looking at the documents used at the meeting and is reading it.

....She still hasn't returned to her good mood. Hmm, what should I do? If I don't reconcile with her before the game, I'm scared that it might cause difficulties. Apologising.....it seems like she won't forgive me unless I acknowledge the cause and apologise to her... And I don't know the cause of it! Hmm...

It happened when I was having my head all puzzled over it.

A light runs through the top of the table. The light drew a circle, and turns into a shape of a magic-circle....

It's a familiar symbol.

"....Phenex?"

Koneko-chan mutters. That's right! It's exactly like Koneko-chan said! This is the magic-circle of Phenex!

It's a small magic-circle which has the size to appear on top of the table, so is it a communication-type? But who? ...Don't tell me it's Raiser? What does he want?

I was in suspicions, but from the magic-circle a holographic image was projected and the face of a young woman appears.

She has a high-class atmosphere and looks. She has her hair up and adorned with expensive looking accessories.

"Okaa-sama!"

Ravel made a shocking voice.

Okaa-sama? Ravel's mother? So that means she is the wife of the current head of the house of

Phenex which also makes her the mother of Raiser. She's pretty. She looks like she is in her twenties. Since she is a devil, I don't know her real age.... But she certainly looks like Ravel!

[How do you do, Ravel. Sorry for the call suddenly. I couldn't get any time, so I ended up calling at this hour. In the human's world Japan, its still school time right?]

"Y-Yes, it certainly is, but why did you call all of a sudden?"

When Ravel asks, Lady Phenex says....

[....Are Rias-san and Sekiryuutei-san here?]

The one who was called by her is Buchou.....and me? Why me?

Buchou stands in front of the projection.

"How do you do, Obaa-sama. It's been awhile."

[Ara, Rias-san. How do you do. It certainly has been awhile. And.....]

The Lady looks around. Is she looking for me? I positioned myself where she can see me immediately.

"Ah, hello. I'm Hyoudou Issei."

[Hello to you too. This is our first time meeting like this, isn't it Hyoudou Issei-san of the

Sekiryuutei. I apologise for introducing myself like this.]
