High School DxD: Return of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Chapter 254 - 244 Looming Malice

"...Ngh... Haa..."

What?

Consciousness hazy, a voice reached .

Early morning. No clock needed—my body's rhythm's sharp from habit.

Last night, chatted with Miu, slept early. Teaching kids was exhausting. Miu stayed, slept with .

But now—soft, plush sensation in my hand... sweet taste in my mouth. Swallowing, power surged within.

More.

Awareness sharpened—

"Ahn... No, Issei... Not so rough... Nn!"

Sweet moans. Red hair. Two large, round shapes.

Each move of my hand, mouth—her body jolted.

"R-R-R-Rias!? Why're you here!? And I—"

Sucked Rias's oppai!?

Morning blunder!?

This is Sona's dream dorm! For kids' futures!

I yanked back, sitting up. How long was I... Rias's body trembled wildly.

Half-off negligee, oppai bouncing with her breaths, tips wet with my saliva.

Rias wiped them, smiling. "So eager, Issei... Like a baby. That good?"

Embarrassing, even half-asleep. Done it with Miu, but...

"Rias... produces too?"

"Just found out. Catching up to Alice?"

Switch Princess powers up. Like Alice, exclusive to ? Alice restores hunger; Rias boosts aura. Power welled inside.

Rias hit a new stage.

Never thought I'd get her first squeeze!

Exhaling, I asked, "When'd you get here?"

Wasn't here when we slept. Slipped in?

"Last night, Xenovia and Irina dragged Asia to the n's dorm. Akeno, Rayvel, and I spotted them sneaking here to ambush you."

They planned that!?

Flattering, but their raids spell trouble. Demon mode auto-triggers! Irina could fall! Okay with that?

"We played rock-paper-scissors. Winner sleeps with you. I won. Proud of my scissors."

Why rock-paper-scissors? But explains her presence.

Nodding, Rias hugged . Oppai pressed—mnyu, mnyu! Classic Rias! Irresistible!

Morning vigor surged!

"W-What's up?" I asked, restraining.

Silent, she held on, then let go.

"Recharging Issei essence. Can't live without it."

Smiling brightly. Issei essence? Felt like I got Rias essence too.

Fixing her negligee, she stood. "More classes today, busier than yesterday. Count on you."

"Got it. Maybe talk about ki?"

"Fired up, huh? I'm helping Sona too."

Kissed my cheek, left.

Ready for the day!

Post-breakfast, pre-morning eting, I talked with Asia, Saji.

"So Fafnir's with Albion?"

"Yes. He appeared in my dream, said he's struggling to persuade past White Dragon Emperors' remnants. Ddraig and Albion called him."

Saji added, "Vritra told in a dream too. Rare request from Two Heavenly Dragons. He's there. Gear works, but control's tough without him."

Saji's improved, but fine-tuning needs Vritra.

"Sorry..."

"Don't sweat it. You've helped my training. I can demo for kids without Vritra. He'll return if needed."

Relief. Hope Ddraig handles it.

"Last resort: ," Ignis hugged from behind.

Why so excited?

Not... SM with past White Dragons?

Unacceptable!

"Instructor! Whip us!"

"Step on us!"

"Insult us!"

No way!

Vali wouldn't tsukkomi. Can't imagine him trying.

"Shut up the predecessors. Whip, candle, anything."

"Too early. Gotta tease more."

"Tease play!?"

Exhausted.

Ignis: "How's your training with girls?"

"Done."

Morning chaos! Spanked, tied with rope, used vibes—why's that in my Gear!?

"Ignis left it, right?"

"Yeah. Well-stocked. Classic Ignis."

Even Elsha and Belzard! Tsukkomi, please!

"Sorry, can't."

Instant no!?

Done!

Asia pouted nearby.

What?

Ignis smirked. "Asia wants to cling too?"

"I... wanna be spoiled by Issei..."

"Say it clear. Issei's still dense. Look at her!"

Thought I improved. Still lacking?

Asia's stressed (thanks, pervert dragon). Gotta spoil her.

Pulled her close, patted head. Her pout turned to a smile, leaning in.

"Anything you want, just say. This much, anyti."

"Yes! I'll spoil myself lots!"

Glad she's happy. Pouty Asia's cute—makes wanna dote.

"Showing off!" Saji groaned. "Otherworld experience gap!?"

Not really. Grew up knowing girls, thanks to Miu.

Grinning, I asked, "You and Sona?"

"Nada. No kiss, no hand-holding."

"Confessed?"

"Not yet! Am I worthy!? Not enough! What do I do!?"

"Youth..."

"Don't act old, Issei! You're flirting with Miu, Alice, everyone at twenty!"

Don't ntion twenty. Feels like a gap. Makes wanna cry.

Alice is twenty, though.

To Saji, clutching his head: "Baal clan's out this morning, right?"

"Yeah." Pointed to window—Agreas. "Emperor's filming. Sairaorg, his clan, and Agares heir helping. Baal too."

Sairaorg's tied to the champ; Siegweira's there for location.

Gremory, Sitri, Baal, Agares—Rookies Four gathered.

Rias, Akeno, Sona, Shinra—third-year quartet—entered.

Rias t my eyes, blushed, waved.

Morning incident's embarrassing.

I led physical training, others scattered to support classes.

Xenovia, Kiba: 'Knight' class on the field.

Xenovia, sword in hand: "A sword mirrors you. Doubt shows in the blade. Stay calm. Strike before struck—slash when they talk!"

Last part's iffy...

Kiba swung, adding: "Don't rely on strength. 'Knights' need skill, speed. Outmaneuver, strike precisely."

Contrasting styles captivated kids.

Irina, Reyna: special lecture on angels, fallen angels.

Angels: ultra-rare in Underworld. Kids, awestruck by Irina's wings and halo, reacted.

"Real angel!"

"Dad said bad kids get taken by angels!"

So scared. Reyna too, less so. Despite alliance, angels/fallen scare devils.

Irina: "No way! Angels are allies! Pray with ! An! Homade bread—eat, deepen faith!"

Her bread: from Akihabara's bread maker. Church trio shocked—'saves lost lambs.' Thirty grand, pricey for students, bought with Heaven's card. Ingredients self-funded.

Parents vetoed bread proselytizing. Irina's 'Angel' class: chaotic.

Reyna's 'Fallen Angel': "Grigori studies, stores Sacred Gears, develops artificial ones used by Sitri."

Proper lecture with whiteboard, materials. Parents nodded; kids found it too serious.

Post-class, gave dejected Reyna a canned coffee.

Asia shared exorcist knowledge, Casper vampire stuff, Koneko youkai. Rossweisse, Miu continued magic.

Rias, Akeno: 'King' and 'Queen.' "Their bond's vital, private and in-ga. 'King' needs 'Queen' beside—"

As young, they were humble but shared experience. Kids, aiming for Rating Gas, listened intently.

Alice and I overheard during break. Senior wisdom—educational.

To Alice: "Listen up. 'Queen' doesn't pin scandals on 'King.'"

"Huh? No idea what you an! Anyway—" Slapped a mountain of printouts on my arm.

Heavy.

"What's this?"

"Volunteers asked, but I'm tired. Your turn!"

"All of it!?"

"Yup!"

"Where you going!?"

"Later!"

Swore to punish her.

In a classroom, I taught, Rayvel assisting. Covered basics, ki, my experiences—otherworld omitted. Only faction leaders know; public doesn't.

Talked why I sought power, how I wielded it. Tough for kids, but key.

Facing them, parents: "Strength's good. More power. But it needs resolve, responsibility. Wield it wrong, you destroy what you protect."

Kids listened, took notes. Parents too.

Continued: "To get strong, know why. Never forget. It keeps you straight through doubt, despair. That's true strength. ...Heavy stuff, huh? Rayvel, ti?"

"Yes! Now, 'Boob Dragon Q&A'! Questions, raise hands!"

Kids' serious faces turned lively.

"Favorite oppai?"

"Great question! Big, small—I love 'em all!"

Laughter erupted. Gotta teach boys this!

Questions poured: "Ever sucked oppai?" to "Training routine?" and "Do contracts?"

Showed what intrigued them.

My turn: "What do you wanna be?"

Hands shot up.

"Boob Dragon!"

"Rating Ga champ!"

"Maou lab researcher!"

"Maou guard!"

Dreams flowed. Human, devil—no matter.

"I wanna join this school!"

Others echoed.

Right—their biggest wish.

This school's their step toward dreams. With guidance, they'll get closer.

Without my master, where'd I be?

I wished: May they attend.

Then—

Chill ran through .

Purple Underworld sky turned white.

Everyone stared, stunned.

No event—would've been announced.

Rayvel approached. "Issei-sama, this..."

"Yeah."

Mage assembly here. Trihexa researchers—kidnap targets.

By—

"Trial students, parents, staff on the field, enter the building imdiately. Repeat—"

Broadcast cut my thoughts.

"Rayvel, evacuate kids. I'll contact Rias."

"Understood."
