Welp, today is Monday, which means it's time for my first day of school. I let out a long sigh, mainly because I know this is going to be EXTREMELY BORING. I have 2 lives worth of high school memories so I don't think I'll have any issues with the work. These past few days have been hell for me, most of my days consist of me training with my servant on swordsmanship, and I'm getting better surely but slower than I anticipated. I mean I can already project black keys, and they aren't just normal swords, I projected them to have the scripture inside the weapon not just hollow in the inside. Which is a good feat in itself with the, Normally, even Executors take a decade to master embedding scripture properly, but for me? I managed it in a handful of days. Maybe I really did get on ROB's good side. I'm pretty sure the black keys will be insanely useful when it comes to taking care of any stray devil or fallen angel that approaches me. I'm also really proficient with reinforcement, so at the moment I think I could take in anyone in Rias Peerage with no issue. With reinforcement and my current progress, I could probably handle anyone in Rias' Peerage one-on-one. Though if they came at me together, that might be a problem.
I can only project basic weapons and even later on I don't think I'll be able to project noble phantasms like how Emiya Shirou does but I'll manage for now, the series hasn't even started yet from what I'm aware of. Also the grail in my dreams gave me some insight about it. I can use the grail's powers once every 3 days to summon a servant, but the longer I wait the better chance I can summon a strong servant. I hope I can summon more strong servants soon. Ushiwakamaru is good but having more would put me at ease.
Welp, today is Monday, April 7th and this is my second year of high school. It's my first day at Kuoh Academy so I'll have to make a good first impression. I made breakfast for Ushiwakamaru even though she doesn't need to eat, but I figured some breakfast wouldn't hurt and I'm a pretty decent cook even if I do say so myself. I think she'll enjoy the modern cuisine a little bit so I'll buy more snacks on my way back from school. After that I set off to walk to the new first day of class. I was Canadian in my past life and even though I merged with this body's soul, going to a Japanese school feels like a new experience for me.
TimeSkip, First Class
The classroom was buzzing when the teacher finally walked in, a man in a plain gray suit with a stack of papers under his arm. He called for quiet, and just like that the chatter died down. "Alright everyone, settle down. Before we begin, we have a new transfer student joining us this year. Come in." That was my cue. I slid the door open and stepped inside, thirty pairs of eyes locking onto me instantly. The first thing I noticed was the complete lack of boys in the classroom. I know this used to be an all girls school but they weren't kidding about the lack of men in the school.
The teacher, a plain man in his forties, cleared his throat and gestured toward me. "Please introduce yourself." I straightened, keeping my expression neutral, and gave a small bow. "My name is Shirou Kotomine. I'm a transfer student. I look forward to learning with you all." I heard a couple of students muttering in the class and my eyes fell on the 3 pervy guys giving me looks of disdain and jealousy. Those boys were Issei, Matsuda and Motohama. The pervy trio of Kuoh Academy, their taste in women is rather lackluster. While they like submissive girls with big breasts I prefer to have a tall dominant chick with a fat ass, none of those three are enlightened individuals. I actually prefer being shorter because this way I have to look up talking to most girls.
I went to my desk in the classroom and took a seat, the next thing the teacher started talking about is math. It wasn't really a difficult subject either, it was just functions, at least this school year won't be as much of a shitshow as I thought it'd be because the work is easy. Next was Japanese literature. I'm happy that this body was really proficient with it because if it wasn't I would've had to learn this myself. Then came English class, this class was probably the easiest class I will ever have, there's nothing wrong with how they teach it but the fact is I can read anything they throw at me, so this class was free sleep. Science came right after that but this class still wasn't any trouble for me, I was never really good at science back in my old life but they're just covering the simple stuff like displacement and reactions.
Lunch rolled around the corner and I could still hear Issei and his group of friends muttering about me. Then to my surprise Issei walks up to me, slings his arm over my neck and asks a question loud enough to make his voice stand out a little amongst the crowd. "What type of girl do you like?" I set my food down and look at him right in the eyes. "I don't have a preference, as long as she is compassionate then I don't need anything else." He looked at me in pure disgust before scooting away back to his friends. I could hear some of the girls muttering while looking at me. "…that's actually kind of nice.""…he doesn't sound shallow at all." "…wish more guys thought like that." It was exactly how I predicted, the standards for men in this school are so low that even that obvious lie was easily believable by these fools.
After lunch was over, next it was history. This is easily the most boring class of all time. Thankfully, most of it just consists of me memorizing dates and famous people. My last class was PE. The class lined up outside, and we were thrown into basic stretches and a short run around the field. After that, we played a game of volleyball which was surprisingly fun to play, but the girls were more competitive than I expected. After school, I caught sight of Issei and immediately burst out laughing inside my head. The guy was being chased by a group of furious girls, and I mean chased like his life depended on it. Apparently, he'd pulled one of his usual pervy stunts, because the next thing I saw was him tripping over his own feet and getting stomped into the pavement like a cockroach.
I helped him to his feet after the whole commotion completely subsided, but he still looked at me with a little contempt in his eyes. "Thank you," he muttered under his breath. "Tall girls with a big butt." Issei blinked at me. "Huh? What'd you say?" I looked at him dead serious. "That's the type of girl I'm into. A tall girl with a big ass." He stared at me with a brief look of surprise, then grinned at me. "Even though tastes stray from each other, I respect it. It's a way better answer than the first one you gave me during lunch." "We've never formally introduced ourselves. My name is Shiro Kotomine." "Issei Hyoudou."
After my brief introduction with Issei I decided to head my way back home, but before I left I went to buy some sweets for my servant. I bought some donuts with multiple flavours that she could choose from and then went on my way home.
When I got home I changed out of my current school uniform to a training outfit and went straight to the backyard. The first thing I decided to practice was my mage craft. I produced 3 black keys and threw them into the air. "Set" I muttered under my breath. In that instant the black keys stopped in mid air with a magic circle appearing under them and then launching in different directions. The next thing I moved to was reinforcement, I mainly focused on prolonging how long I could reinforce my body at a sustainable level more than reinforcing myself to the max. I focused more on longevity then durability. After tampering with my magecraft a bit I called Ushiwakamaru to practice my swordsmanship training.
Ushiwakamaru appeared, drawing her sword. I tightened my grip, readying myself. She struck first. I barely managed to block, stumbling slightly from the force. I swung back, careful not to overcommit, but she easily sidestepped, keeping the pressure on. The spar continued. I blocked, parried, and dodged as best I could, focusing on maintaining my stamina rather than landing strong hits. Every move she made was precise, and I had to stretch myself just to keep up. My reinforced body helped, but I could feel the strain building. After several minutes, she stopped, lowering her blade. I was breathing hard, sweat running down my face, but I forced a nod. "Thank you… I learned a lot."
We practiced for a total of 3 hours and I could tell I was improving. My improvement with the sword is actually happening way quicker than a normal person. I decided to take a long bath before eating dinner. After my soak I went back into my room to change into my normal attire. A sleek black turtleneck and over it I wore a long, silver cross necklace. The same fit that Shirou Kotomine wore in Apocrypha without the red overcloak he usually has on. I went to the kitchen to dig into the meal my wonderful servant made for me.
I was greeted by a good sight, Ushiwakamaru was cooking a traditional Japanese dinner. The smell of miso soup, sautéed vegetables, and perfectly grilled fish hit me immediately. Ushiwakamaru moved around the kitchen with surprising grace, chopping, stirring, and plating everything with precision. Even the steam rising from the pot seemed almost ceremonial. "Hello, Master. I decided to cook dinner for us today," she said, not looking up from her work. "I hope you like it." I leaned against the counter, taking it all in. The sight, the smell, the sheer care she put into it—it was… comforting. "It smells amazing," I said, a small smile creeping onto my face.
After dinner I went straight to my room. I went to bed. The first thing I did was roll servants, I decided it's time I roll a new one and I'm banking on having good luck. It spun, and spun and spun until it landed on a servant I'm all too familiar with. Medusa of the rider class, after I woke up I was greeted by her standing above me, looking at me. ""Greetings, Master," she said, her voice smooth and steady. "I am Medusa, your Servant of the Rider class. It is an honor to serve you." I gave her a small smile, "make yourself at home." Thankfully they already get a decent amount of information about this world when they are brought in. They don't know the future but they know about the factions, angels and demons running rampant. I decided to get some rest and go to sleep. Soon, Issei will get himself killed, I don't plan on stopping it but when it happens I really need to focus on getting stronger because then the story will all start rolling and at some point I have to make my debut.
END OF CHAPTER
Ok so when I said I haven't consumed ANY high school dxd media since I was 13 I wasn't lying. I haven't consumed any high school dxd media since I was 13. So as I'm writing this I'm rereading the manga jotting everything down. I think I'm decently knowledgeable about Fate, not so much as the game Grand Order though. I watched the movies but I still think I'm lacking in some areas. I'll see how far I go with this story and I'll reread High School DxD. I might genuinely forget about this story so if I don't upload for a while my Discord is v2timbit so you can just spam me. Alright bye lets see how far this fic goes.
