3rd Person POV
The Class started and today's subject was history. As the classroom settled into the suffocation of history lecture, Blake felt Rias probe him with her magic and he just smirked under his mask at her wasting her time.
She was only a High Class devil and it was way above her paygrade to try to probe a being about her power level. It can be considered a miracle if she was able to find out anything beyond Blake wanted her to know and right now Blake showed himself as a normal Human.
Blake saw that Akeno also sensed her King's magic brush against him and her body strained for some reason. She looked a bit worried as if her King was going to find out something about him.
He was curious why Akeno had a worried look and wondered if she actually found out it was her childhood friend. Even with the mask covering half of his face, his eyes along with half of his face are visible so he wondered if she was able to match this Blake with her childhood friend but came to realise how wrong he was.
Her strained look eased but Blake felt her vibe turn to some kind of regret when Rias's magic found nothing abnormal within Blake.
Rias lost interest in Blake as soon as she found out he was nothing more than a normal human and that is when Akeno also lost interest in Blake and started spacing out thinking about her childhood.
Blake, having successfully lost both Rias and Akeno's attention, and with nothing else to do, decided to pay attention to the class but was not able to bear even five seconds of this boring lecture.
He held knowledge beyond experts in different fields and this high school call was too boring for him. Thinking of how to pass the time, Blake decided to go through his memories to find out what types of attack and defence moves the previous Blake had created and practiced. He closed his eyes and memories flashed in full speed.
Blake came to understand that imagination was the biggest tool to create moves and control them while his huge magic reserves fueled that imagination bringing it to reality.
The most unique thing about this body is that it seems capable of absorbing other types of magic and energies. Not only that, He can refill his own reserves using that while also understanding the principle behind that said magic or energy.
It was basically a cheat like power and Blake observing through his memories was actually excited to fight someone to test it out. Even though the women of this world are his main priority, his thirst to use his new powers and fight someone is getting stronger.
Classes continued and Blake spent his time going through his new memories until a sharp, piercing ring of the school bell for the lunch break ripped him instantly from his internal review.
He opened his eyes, the mystic blue gaze sharp and perfectly focused.
The classroom immediately erupted into the typical chaos of hungry teenagers. Desks scraped back, bags were thrown over shoulders, and the teacher, looking haggard, quickly made his escape through the side door.
In the middle row, Rias and Akeno rose with practiced grace.
Rias, her crimson hair flowing, moved with decisive urgency like a King who had a serious political strategy to discuss.
Akeno followed, her earlier melancholic stupor entirely replaced by a cool, professional poise—the brief memory of her lost friend successfully shoved back into a locked corner of her mind.
They moved directly toward the main exit, their beauty auras parting the sea of mortal students and just as Rias reached the threshold of the doorway, poised to step into the hall, the space was suddenly occupied.
Sona entered, her expression composed and professional, her sleek black hair perfectly framing her sharp, intelligent beauty.
She was not alone, flanked by her Queen, Tsubaki, whose formidable figure commanded attention just below Akeno.
The two Kings and their Queens stopped, frozen in the narrow doorway.
Rias's crimson eyes, initially filled with finding solutions for her situation, were frozen on the spot and her eyes narrowed slightly.
This didn't feel right to her.
Sona, however, held the advantage of having initiated the collision as she knew running into Rias was unavoidable while entering her class and the possibility of Rias finding out She was interested in someone new but Sona didn't want to miss her early advantage so she didn't let anything stop her from coming here.
She maintained her composure, the professional Student Council President mask firmly in place. Her gaze was over Rias for a second—a friend yet also a rival. And her eyes went straight to the back of the room, locating the true reason for her presence 'Blake.'
The classroom had fallen silent, the attention of every student fixed on the silent, tense standoff between the four most beautiful women in the academy.
Rias was wondering why Sona was here as she and her Peerage usually had lunch in the Student council room.
"Rias," Sona greeted, her tone formal and crisp. Risa hasn't moved allowing passage for Sona to enter the class. Rias returned the formality with chilly precision. "Sona. Are you here for a reason?"
Sona offered a subtle, almost imperceptible smile of victory. 'Looks like Rias hasn't seen Blake's real face.'
The whole class was looking at them and Sona's reply was something they didn't expect.
Sone spoke up "Just here to collect Blake. He has the potential to become a member of the Student Council"
For some unknown reason, Sona is clearly trying to pull rank and seizing an opportunity to claim the celebrity newcomer for herself.
Rias's thoughts were in turmoil and her expression turned to irritation. She has known Sona for a long time and considered her a close friend and the fact that she is here to invite this new student meant she was interested in him. She knew Sona won't be interested romantically as she knew her type which left the only other reason for her to be possibly interested in someone and move this fast to the point of inviting him on the first day itself might be because this human must have some kind of sacred gear powerful enough to get this attention from Sona.
Rias had dismissed the new boy as a useless human, yet Sona was treating him as a vital asset—a potential piece for her peerage. She understood that Sona knew something she didn't.
Meanwhile, Tsubaki, positioned just behind Sona, cast a swift, excited glance toward Blake in the back row, her loyalty to Sona compromised momentarily by her existing crush on the new student.
And Akeno, standing beside Rias, finally looked back where Sona and Tsubaki were looking, where Blake was now observing the entire scene with amusement in his eyes.
For a brief moment, Akeno's eyes locked with his mystic blue gaze, and despite her recent conviction that he was merely a coincidence, the chilling, familiar look for his eyes made her skin prickle.
Blake, the masked human, has unknowingly become the fulcrum upon which the power dynamics of the two highest-ranking Devils in Kuoh Academy revolved.
"Blake, Care to join me in the student council room for lunch so that we can talk about the student council" Sona didn't wait and asked directly to Blake.
The whole class was looking at Blake, but before he could reply they heard Rias's voice "Isn't this too soon to invite a new student into the Student Council, Sona?"
It looked like she was concerned for Sona but Rias was actually stalling for time. She wanted to know what's so special about this new student Blake for Sona to be so eager to invite him into her peerage. If he is indeed strong or has a powerful sacred gear, he could be the key to her break free from Riser.
Sona was too smart for Rias as she didn't let go of her advantage and pressed on "Worry not, Rias, I know Blake is more that capable handling Student Council duties"
Rias was taken back by her reply and it felt like she had to find out more about this Blake and bring him into her peerage before Sona
"So Blake, Care to join us for lunch?" Sona asked and Blake just nodded which brought a smile on Sona's face but Rias face frowned.
Everyone stared at Blake's back as he was walking out with Sona and Tsubaki.
The End
