As the weeks went by on Kuoh academy the new group on the school had risen up in popularity pretty quickly as Enji and Ei quickly found themselves respected as they practiced their sword fighting in open air along with Akame showing precision and fierceness with each duel as Yae quickly got popular due to her willingness to help everyone she was mostly sought after helping with homework or other questions Kurome was on the background most of the time just enjoying the cookies Alex baked for her and reading a book during her free time.

Alex and Esdeath quickly grew to a power couple arriving with their bikes daily and the air of authority they emitted did good for their reputation as no one dared to cross them. everything seemed to be going fine well that was until a certain meeting with the most notorious members for the school: ''the perverted trio'' as said group first found out what happened to the people who got on Yae's bad side as she busted the trio trying to peep on Enji, Ei and Akame as a feral smile got on her face she had trapped the boys alerting her sisters of the peeping toms as the group found themselves surrounded Yae took out a nearby sparring bokken handed to her by Akame as the perverts made a run for it Yae made sure that when they eventually made it a safe distance more than half of their bodies were bruising and turning blue as Yae whilst clumsy and friendly was able to rain down blows with precision much to the trio's horror. 

the trio tried to make Yae look like a supposed demon but those allegations were quickly shot down by the girls of the Fencing club who held more respect in the student body over said perverts who were hated by most of the female school population. 

Most students were surprised by the apparent animosity between the kendo and fencing club but quickly realized it was between the captains of said clubs as they started recognizing Enji and Ei as the former Hokkaido kendo club team captains that destroyed them last Kendo match for the National championship qualifiers as there still stood a tension between the two club captains but Enji liked to gloat that they eventually became national champions thanks to the Shogun herself as Ei often rolled her eyes at her vice captain when she would taunt the kendo club.  

It was the end of the school day as Alex found himself in the student council office along with Esdeath as he sat opposite of Sona and her queen their peerage standing dutifully to the side "so Sona why have you called me here?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow as he took a sip of his tea the devil heiress sighed "It seems Rias had failed to inform me that apparently we have a small group of fallen angles hiding in our territory and they had targeted one of her newest servants a student of this academy going by the name of Issei Hyoudo" Sona informed her "the pervert?" Esdeath asked with a raised eyebrow and Sona nodded "I had the same reaction when she first told me" Sona chuckled as Alex pinched the bridge of his nose "okay so there are fallen here how many and are they alone?" he asked her "well we figured out there are four of them along with about 20 stray exorcists" Sona revealed Alex nodded as he got a sinister grin on his face he nodded at Esdeath who also smirked darkly "it seems we will be hunting crows for dinner" Alex spoke as they stood to leave the room making Sona sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose as well "Rias what have you gotten us into" she mumbled.

On the other side of the town a spiky brown haired young man was making his way back home as he stopped in the local park where images of a previous night filled his mind to his own confusement as the sky suddenly turned purple as he yelled out in pain as a spear of light pierced his knee making him fall to the ground in pain "where is your master" a man in a trench coat wearing a fedora asked as the Issei could only groan in pain and cough a bit of blood "hmm seeing as they are no where near you must be a stray" the man said as a grin formed on his face and he raised his hand as another spear appeared ready to throw it at the boy and kill him but he was stopped as  a teleportation circle appeared next to the boy and a group appeared next to him "it would be best if you leave my dear servant alone fallen" a female voice said making the boy look up "Gremory-senpai?" he asked confused only to be even more bewilderd as most popular kids from his school that were all members of the occult research club were with her; Akeno Himejima , Kiba Yuuto and Koneko Toujo stood there in their school uniforms behind their club president glaring at the man in a trench coat "crimson hair...mhmm.. you must be the Gremory heiress" the fallen angel observed "i am but it seems you mistook my servant for a stray and it would be best if you disappeared." Rias stated as an orb of crimson energy came a life into her hand "i apologize my name is Dohnaseek my our paths never cross again" the fallen angel now named Dohnaseek said as he readied himself to fly away but before he could try a chill filled the air as ravens swarmed the sky  "I don't think there will be a chance for that" a female voice rang out as Esdeath appeared from an icy fog that covered the park as next to her stood Ashaf and Guido along with Ei as His wings froze solid making him unable to go anywhere "who the hell are you?" Dohnaseek asked gritting his teeth "may I?" Guido asked a menacing grin on her face as Esdeath shook her head "not yet" she said softly making Guido scoff "tell me Rias were you about to let this fallen get away? whilst he's breaking the cease fire agreement?" Esdeath asked raising an eyebrow making Rias grit her teeth as Akeno sparked lightning in her hand and Kiba and Koneko got in fighting stances preparing for a confrontation as Esdeath looked on amused the thought that they had a chance was hilarious for her.
