The Chains that Bind (Highschool DxD x Ghost Rider Reader)

Chapter 9

(F/N) rode into the next town, after hearing about the four guys at the garage shop. While his mind lingered on that moment for a bit longer, he currently focused on his more apparent task; enrolling in high school. Such a difficult thing for a kid his age, it would be a miracle if he was able to do it (the author types sarcastically). This town had a different change of pace than the previous. Though there were stares, some of them were merely looking at the bike itself, as if they were trying to identify the sound of the loud engine. There were very few that looked at (F/N) with concern, with news of the dead bodies and the biker reaching here, but they weren't very concerned, given that it involved Kuou Town.

The young biker got himself familiar with the surroundings, finding some places of interest that could help him remember the direction he went, and then eventually came towards the school.

True enough to its name, it was a high school. He was able to make it in time before the first bell rang. But in the next couple of seconds, the first bell did ring. He parked his bike over by the gate and kicked out the kickstand, and proceeded onto the campus.

What caught (F/N) off guard was the uniforms in this school, compared to the ones in Kuou; the boys were dressed, in a manner, similar to Kuou - a button-up shirt and tie. But the girls, on the other hand, wore short, red skirts, thigh-high socks, a white button up beneath, what could probably be best described, as black aprons or corsets with suspenders. The article of clothing in question was black, with three buttons on each side where the clothing parted, and black, adjustable, straps going over their shoulder.

The girl's uniforms in Kuou had the same kind of skirts as well, and the white button-ups, but a ribbon loosely like a bowtie and even some small capes.

(F/N) examined each student he could see. And each of them looked at the stranger with curious glances. But one student that kind of got his attention was a green-haired girl with a headband and two extended ribbons, similar in appearance to bunny ears.

"Excuse me," a voice spoke up, leading (F/N) to turn and look to the source of the voice. The person was a teacher, a slender lady with red hair, going down till it reached her lower spine. "Would you care to explain why you're wandering the halls?" She asked, before she better examined (F/N)'s clothing and attire. "And a lack of a uniform? Who are you?" (F/N) faced her.

"I'm (F/N) (L/N)," he said, "and I was recommended to come here and attend this school."

"A transfer student then?"

"No, actually more of a late enrollment," (F/N) clarified.

"I see," she said, before giving (F/N) a once-over. Though unknown to (F/N), the teacher felt a sense of familiarity. She then turned and looked down at the other end of the hall, towards the nurse's office. She stared for some time, before looking back at him again. "If you want to enroll here, then you should make your way towards the headmaster's office." She approached (F/N) and stood next to him, pointing her finger and giving him directions from where he started. When she was done, she gave a small "pardon me" and explained that she had a class to teach and left.

(F/N) followed her directions, using the signs to help point him in the right direction, before eventually making it to the office in question. He walked up and knocked on the door.

"Come in, (F/N)!" A voice inside called back. (F/N) paused for a moment. How did the headmaster know his name? He cautiously entered, only to find the room darkened. He can barely make out everything in the room, but how can one work in a dark room? "You know, I've often dreamed of being a headmaster, you know?" He asked. "Though in one dream I had, I was headmaster to a school of exorcists." (F/N) looked at the person with a confused expression. What was he talking about? (F/N) walked closer to the desk and looked at the person, who's face became clear when he parted the curtains a bit; it was the guy who hit Mrs. Hyoudou's car!
