After the altercation with the gremory, naruto returned home where he told Rayner what happened with the demons, which made the girl feel a little bad since it was her fault that the boy he was helping almost got hurt but he calmed down when Naruto told him not to worry about it since he didn't blame her after that they went to sleep and that leads us to the next morning where we see naruto and Rayner having breakfast since naruto told her that she would go to the academy with him today.

"Hey, Naruto-Kun, I have a question," Rayner said, catching the blonde's attention. "How am I supposed to go to the academy without being discovered?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Hmm? That's easy," Naruto replied with a grin, taking her hand gently. He traced a seal on her palm, and as it glowed faintly, it gradually disappeared. "This seal will make sure no one can see or sense you," he explained confidently.

"Wow, that's amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration. "Where did you learn to create seals like this?"

He scratched the back of his head, a proud yet modest smile on his face. "Let's just say it's an art passed down through my family. They developed techniques that almost seem impossible," said the blonde, his words catching Rayner off-guard.

"That's incredible," she said, clearly impressed. "In the supernatural world, we use seals too, but even creating a basic storage seal is difficult. Your family must be really powerful," she added, her admiration growing.

His expression softened as he spoke. "Well, they were... a long time ago. Now, I'm the last one left," he said calmly, though the weight of his words lingered. "But that's a story for another day. Right now, we need to head to Kuoh Academy," he added with a cheerful tone, lightening the mood. Rayner nodded, and together they set off.

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at Rayner's wide-eyed wonder as they walked through the bustling streets. She marveled at how people walked right past her without noticing, though the occasional collision startled some into a confused panic. Rayner had to stifle her giggles as a few of them ran off scared, while Naruto simply grinned.

After about 15 minutes, they reached Kuoh Academy.

"Just remember, try not to draw too much attention," he reminded her.

Rayner spent the day sitting in Akeno's usual seat since she hadn't shown up to class. Naruto wasn't surprised; Akeno had a habit of disappearing when it suited her. The day passed uneventfully, but Rayner couldn't shake her excitement as she observed the school life from the shadows.

Finally, the bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

"Alright, Ray-chan," the blonde whispered so only she could hear. "It's time to meet them."

Her eyes lit up with determination. "Let's go see those demons," she said firmly. Naruto simply nodded, and together, they made their way toward the Occult Research Club.

CLUB OF THE OCCULT

We see the nobility of rias gremory in the hall of the occult but the strange thing is that all except the redhead have some scratches and bandages on their bodies and this is because their injuries were a little more serious than what it seemed since Kiba has bandages on his chest and head from the impacts received, on the other hand, koneko has bandages on his head and on his right arm which was the one with which he tried to hit naruto and for the last akeno that although she is always next to rias right now she is sitting on the sofa with bandages from her neck to her waist that were covered by her uniform although those on her neck were still visible and swears she still feels the blonde's palm on her chest when he never touched her.
