The Shadow of the Paranormal (High School DxD)

Chapter 3: The Nun and the Stray Hunt

(Carlos POV)

* Some Park of Kouh

Another day, another sunny morning and another walk to Kuoh Academy. I think the things started to work out, but like a boa, a way all curved and crooked. But it's what I have to work with, so I just have to accept and not be a baby.

I was following a different path than I usually have done, it was a good idea to relax and pay attention to the environment. Despite the supernatural, paranormal and perverts of this place, even Kuoh is pretty.

Boy: ''Hey, Carlos-senpai!''

Looking to the side, I saw Issei approaching as he waved, so I waved back and greeted him. When I realized, we started walking together.

Carlos: ''Good morning, Issei.''

Issei: ''Good morning. How are things going?''

Carlos: ''I think the things going okay. What about you, how's your devil-life going?''

Issei: ''I think I can say that I'm doing well, at least I think. I started delivering the flyers that we, devils, use to make contracts.''

Carlos: ''Look at that, you have already evolved in life! From student to interns exploited! The next is to be exploited as a normal worker and receive a crap as payment. I wish you luck!''

I just played with him and by his annoying face, he did not like.

Issei: ''Although I thought I'd die once again yesterday.''

I turned to Issei, but was not worried since he was not divided into more than one piece.

Carlos: "What exactly happened yesterday?"

Issei: "Well, a fallen angel attacked me last night and I was able to make appear my sacred gear. Not only that, but her clothes were vaporized with my new power."

I stop in my tracks because of the new bit of information, which caused Issei to stop walking and turn to me.

Carlos: "I'm not sure if I should be proud or disappointed. While I am proud you were able to alone kick ass of a witch who tried to kill you, I'm also disappointed that your new power is pervert as you. But, hey... Great job, dude!"

Issei: ''Thanks man. I will do everything to be useful for the President! I will evolve, have my own servants and be the Harem King!''

Carlos: "I can see you're really good at making promises, you should start a career in politics."

I think I have the suspicion that he did not appreciate my comment... I just think.

Carlos: ''But apparently we had a lot going on last night.''

Issei: ''Hm...? You too?''

Carlos: ''Yes. After the club meeting, I finally found my master's recording diary.''

Issei: "Wow really? That great news for you!"

Carlos: "Yeah... But even so, I have absolutely nothing useful for now.''

Issei: ''What'd you mean? I thought a clue like that would help you much.''

I turned my eyes to Issei in a tired way and I think I made dark circles magically appear on me.

Carlos: ''You not wrong it just... So, here's the thing...''

(Flashback)

* Carlos's Apartament

After a second, my friend and teammate answered. A man in his 30s with brown hair stuck with a strip of white and beard. He had a prominent scar on the left side of his face, a little one crossing the nose and wears goggles on his head, in addition, it had several other scars around the arms. He was dressed in a black t-shirt, dark green cargo pants, yellow and black combat boots and wearing his typical white coat.
