Forrest of the Greats

Prologue: The moonlit world

"Issei you traitor!" Said a teenager with glasses while glaring at Issei

"Issei you lucky bastard!" A bald teenager said while crying comical tears

""How could you score a total hotty like her!"" Both of them yelled while pointing at Issei

Issei scratched the back of his head and laughing awkwardly at his best friends antics

A girl next to Issei with long black blushed slightly and looked away

After talking a little...

"See ya guys later!" Issei said, walking to the gate with his girlfriend Yuuma

""Bastard!"" Matsuda and Motohama yelled together

When Issei and Yuuma were no longer in sight

Motohama crossed his arms and cracked a smile

"Well, at least one of us can get a date. I'm happy for him" The glasses wearing Motohama said nodding to himself

"Me too" Said the bald Matsuda with a goofy grin

"Who knows, maybe she has hot friends she can introduce to us" Motohama said jokingly

"I'm gonna head to the arcade, are you gonna come with?" Motohama asked

"Nah, I'm busy" Matsuda shook his head disappointingly

"Suit yourself, well see ya tomorrow!" Motohama said walking away

Matsuda was left alone in the courtyard

He lost his goofy smile and narrowed his eyes deep in thought

Amano Yuuma was definitely not human. He concluded

He took his phone from his pocket and pressed a button

(Hmmm~? Matsuda, something to report?) A girl lazily answered the call

"A supernatural has made contact with one of the students" He said Seriously

(Explain) All laziness disappeared from the voice

"You remember Issei, right?"

(Yup~ one of your perverted buddies, so what does the supernatural want with him?)

"It only came recently, but I've been sensing some form energy build up in Issei"

*Silence...*

(Why have you not reported this?)

Matsuda sighed

"I don't wanna drag Issei into the moonlit world"

(*Sigh~* I know how you feel, but you need to report this kind of stuff, okay?)

"I apologise"

(Apology accepted~ Now what do you think she wants from him?)

"I've narrowed it to 3 most probable scenarios. First is the least likely, she just genuinely likes Issei and has no malicious intention. Second, she was either sent to seduce or recruit Issei for whatever organization is behind Yuuma. And the third..."

Matsuda narrowed his eyes

"Is to assassinate Issei, whatever power Issei has, is strong based on the energy I sensed. So to stop Issei from being a thorn in their side in the future, is to nip the bud before it blooms"

(Hmm~ well this is interesting... Do you think his a Returner?)

Matsuda shook his head

"Unlikely, I didn't sense any petals around him"
