The entrance to Kuoh Academy was already a chaotic scene of hormones and hierarchy. When the roar of the Ducati finally cut through the morning air, the atmosphere shifted from typical school chatter to an idol-tier event.
Alex parked his bike with effortless cool, stepping off and adjusting his blazer. The reactions were instantaneous.
"Alexander-sama! Look at him! He's even more handsome today!" the girls shrieked, clutching their chests.
"Check out that bike... that's a custom Ducati. He really is on another level," the boys muttered, eyeing the machine with pure envy.
Alex offered a charming smile to the crowd, causing several girls to literally lose their footing and collapse from "mana-induced" lightheadedness. He ignored the drama and walked straight toward the student council leaders waiting by the gate.
"Good morning, Sona-tan, Tsu-chan," Alex greeted them smoothly.
Sona's face flushed at the nickname. "G-good morning, Alexander."
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Look at how cute Sona is today. Between that ruffled dress from Saturday and her serious President look now... I just want to pack her up and take her away like a baby doll.]
Sona's head practically began to steam. 'Pack me up? Take me away? He's so bold!' she thought, her face turning a deep crimson.
Tsubaki looked a bit dejected until Alex turned to her. "Tsubaki, about our date—let's do this Saturday, okay?"
Tsubaki's eyes lit up, and she bowed gracefully. "I would be honored, Alex."
The Gremory Proposition
Alex made his way to class, where the air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume. Rias and Akeno were already there, leaning against the window like sirens.
"So, what are the Kuoh Onee-samas thinking about so early in the morning?" Alex asked, leaning against a desk.
"We want a date, Alex," Rias stated directly, her blue eyes locked onto his. Akeno nodded beside her, her eyes trailing over his shoulders.
"Sure. I'll take you both," Alex replied with a smirk. "I know just the place for a pair like you." Both women nodded, their hearts racing as they wondered what kind of 'monarch-level' date he had in mind.
The Mystery of the Casting
Sitting at his desk, Alex leaned back and let his mind wander.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: When I get home, I'll officially ask Grayfia, Sylpha, and Kuroka to join my Peerage. They're already waiting for it. But something's weird... I checked for Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner, but their magic signatures aren't in Kuoh yet. Looks like I have about six months before the 'Fallen' plot officially kicks off. I can take it slow.]
The Girls:'Six months? We can't wait that long for the action to start!'
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: What really bugs me is the roster here. Sona is here to learn how to build her school. Rias was born here. But Malty? Why did she show up? I know the 'Plot' demands everyone gather around the Pervert Dragon Emperor, but... where is Seekvaira?]
Seekvaira Agares: (In the Agares estate, her heart skipping a beat) 'He's thinking about me?'
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: My 'Cry-baby Seek-chan' should be around the same age as Rias. If this is a gathering of the Great Houses, why hasn't she transferred in yet? She's probably too busy with her mecha models and crying over her lack of a social life. I miss teasing her.]
Seekvaira: (Face exploding in red) 'C-Cry-baby?! I'll show him who's a cry-baby when I see him!'
Alex chuckled to himself, staring out the window. He didn't know that his internal "nickname" for the Agares heiress had just motivated her to pack her bags and demand a transfer to Kuoh immediately.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Well, if the plot won't come to me, I'll just have to make it interesting myself. Ciel, keep an eye on the enrollment records. I have a feeling the population of 'High-Class' beauties in this school is about to double.]
