High School DxD: The Final Finish

Chapter 4 - Was It Really That Simple??

The Occult Research Club was situated in the old school building next to Kuoh Academy, an old looking two story building that was much longer then it was tall. It was the current base of Rias Gremory and the meeting place for the devil servants that included people like Kiba and Akeno.

"We'll be heading in there," Kiba pointed as they followed the path leading up to the immense building. "That's where our club meets up nearly everyday, though why you would want to meet with us I have no idea."

"I just want to talk to Rias Gremory a little, give some important information before offering a request, one that would prove beneficial to your group." Doug smiled as he followed Kiba inside of the building.

"Well, honestly one isn't allowed to enter into our clubroom without permission but since your with me, I don't think it'll be a problem." Kiba said as he closed the front door behind them. "Also, try to be respectful when talking to Rias as the people around her can get a bit defensive."

"Noted," Doug said as he was lead through a series of doors and down a hall before finally reaching a rather large set of doors.

'Okay, poker face Doug' He thought as Kiba pushed open the large door allowing Doug to enter. 'Your about to meet some of the main characters in the Highschool DxD saga, don't freak out.'

The interior of the room was pretty basic, but also felt a bit cozy. Two couches were set up in the center of the room, with a rectangular table placed in between them and dividing them apart. A large desk sat at the head of the room, a place where someone important might sit. The way the whole room was decorated gave it a mysterious feel, and the candles gave the impression of some type of cult meeting, which was probably the d.e.s.i.r.ed result.

This was the description of the room, but the three females that were INSIDE the room made it look like a scene from a movie. A short girl with white hair was playing chess with a black haired girl. The last female had an amazing shade of blood red hair and was sitting at the front desk scribbling over something. It was only when Kiba had cleared his throat that she finally looked up from what she had been doing.

"Oh, Kiba, your finally here," The redhead said as she set down her pen, rising up from her seat. "I'm glad you could make it....oh I see you brought a guess."

Kiba nodded, flashing his usual smile. "This guy wanted to meet with you as well as Sona Sitri, though he didn't explain why." Kiba walked over and sat on the sofa next to the short white haired girl.

"Hello there, my name is Rias Gremory," Rias said, a light frown on her face, a face that could easily have been mistaken for curiosity but Doug saw something else, suspicion. "Your Issei Hyodou right?"

It made sense for her to be a bit cautious in the world she lived in, and if someone she barely knew suddenly barged in and demanded to ask for the leader of not one but TWO leaders of devils, then she had every right to be on guard.

Doug had been thinking it over as he walked towards the building, thinking up a way to get into Rias's little circle of devils without gettin killed. He eventually figured out a strategy, one where he simply acted dumb and innocent. He had to spin a believable lie while also backing it up with small details to make it seem truthful.....talk about a lot of work.

"Actually my name is Doug Chosen, Issei is just a nickname....," Doug explained with a small smile. He then shifted his face to one of confusion. "I hate to bother you all, but I was sent here by someone calling himself a devil. He said that the Occult Research Club was a group of devils and that I was an important part in the progression of things."

The whole room had gone silent, even the girls had stopped playing chess to look over at the stranger in the room. Doug was still in the middle of talking though so none of them made a sound.

"He said that in my left hand was something called a Sacred Gear also known as "Boosted Gear," Doug said, touching his own left arm. "He also told me that if I want to learn about what he meant then I should join both groups lead by Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri."

It was silent for a full minute until Rias broke it by clearing her throat. "And you believe all of that? Why would you be so foolish as believe this persons nonsense?"

"I didn't, at least not at first," Doug explained, taking out a hand and pointing to his own back. "Except that he showed me his wings, and that lead me to believe that he was telling the truth."

Rias was silent once again before nodding her head, walking up to him. "Very well, you may join."

"Wait, as easy as that?" Doug asked, a bit surprised. "Aren't you gonna test me or check if I'm trustworthy or not?" Things were progressing too smoothly for him and he wanted things to at least become a bit more difficult. If it was too easy, it would feel like someone else was pulling the strings behind this.

"Well, while I will admit I'm curious about the mysterious devil, I won't deny that your special....," Rias stopped in front of him and tapped him on his forehead. "Therefore I wont ask many questions right now, but after your part of my team then we'll see about what you know."

He tilted his head to the side, keeping up his act, giving them a curious stare. "So then does that mean you guys are really devils? Can you show me? I'm actually pretty curious."

Four pairs of black wings appeared in front him, each and every one of the members flashed their wings for Doug to view them. It seemed that after Rias gave the okay, they all immediately trusted him even if it was only a little bit. It showed just how much they all respected her judgement.

"Wow," Doug said, taking a step back, his eyes glancing back and forth at everyone in the room. "That's a lot to take in at one time."

"I know its a lot to take in but try and b.a.r.e with it," Said the black haired girl as she stood up from the ground brushing off her school uniform. "We're devils and we serve Rias Gremory, the club president. My name is Akeno Himijima, its nice to meet you."

Akeno Himijima, a beautiful girl with black hair and violet eyes. She was one of the main women involved with Issei in the original story and while he wasn't going to actively pursue her, he still admired her beauty and her rather.....large assets. She was also into S&M which made him feel really weird, although she probably changed her attitude about that after meet Issei.

The next person to stand up was the small white haired girl who had been playing chess with Akeno earlier. She stood up and gave Doug a nod, an indifferent look on her face.

"My names Koneko Toujou, its nice to meet you as well." Koneko said, her face not giving away any emotion.

Koneko Toujou, a first year high school student with a small slim build and was also part of Issei's harem back in the original story. Throughout the whole first season, she had been more or less indifferent towards Issei, but she had gradually accepted him and even developed feelings for him.

"Its a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet all of you," Doug replied, giving a slight bow while shoving his hands deep into his jacket pockets. "Please take good care of me in the future."

//I dont usually like doing this but I took the easy route and used "Plot Arnor" becuase I'm dumb and couldn't think of any other way for Doug to join without them asking questions or without them killing him

I'm stupid so go ahead and slander me in the comments section or drop a 1 star review, but I shall continue to write this regardless of what the haters might say!!! The support from the viewers who have been with me since my first novel will give me strength BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS ON MY SIDE!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
