Chapter 1
2015 years have passed in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Humanity as a whole has technologically and socially advanced very far in that time, reaching heights that even the most imaginative of men from that era would have deemed an impossibility, a mere fantasy, a dream a child would have as they slept.
And yet, in that time, humanity hasn't changed at all. Not really. Because you couldn't really change mankind. Not at their core. They were greedy, gluttonous, l_u_s_tful, deceitful, envious of their fellow men, relatively quick to come to blows and with a d_e_s_i_r_e to have things done for them and not do them themselves.
Their instincts and intrinsic nature have made it such that, at their most fundamental levels, they are the same as those from the thousands of years that have passed. All that has changed is the knowledge they have amassed as a species, the information they had access to, and the ease with which they gain said access.
An excellent example of that would be the pair sitting beside me. Each wished to dominate the other emotionally and psychological by having the other confess their undying love to them, hence putting them in a position where they believe they will hold power and superiority in the relationship. 'Wearing the pants' if you will. Both are willing to deceive the other and their friends around them as a means of accomplishing this goal even if it would be simpler to just come up and confess themselves and being all the happier for it. Their pride prevents them from doing as such.
As a result, their pursuit of love has become a nonsensical war of minds and battle of wits.
And yet, their current predicament was almost inevitable, whether it be by fate or by the knowledge of the future I was privy to. In that case, who exactly am I?
”Oh, that reminds me! I won a pair of tickets to a movie, but I can't go see it myself because my parents won't let me. So if any of you are interested, I was thinking of giving them to you. The movie is only playing this weekend, so…”
Ah, so this story's canon has finally begun. Although it is quite strange that this is happening 5 years before it was ever meant to. At least according to the plot. But there were far more important changes than merely the year this was taking place in.
”Oh?” Miyuki opened up his notebook. ”Now that you mention it, I'm completely free this weekend. Shinomiya, would you-”
”Oh, and...they say that if a boy and girl go to see this movie together, they're guaranteed to start dating!” There was a sense of longing on Chika's face as she spoke. ”Isn't that wonderful?”
From my perspective, I could already see the panic in the President's eyes.
”Oh? President, were you about to invite me to go with you? A movie that makes boys and girls who see it start dating...Are you going to say that we should see it?” If you looked closely enough, you could see a bead of sweat roll down Miyuki's neck listening to Vice-President Shinomiya's words. It was doubtless that Kaguya did notice as she gave a quick glance towards his neck and smirked. ”Wouldn't that be the same as...a confession?”
And now, Shirogane's face was stuck. Clearly, he was trying to figure out a way out of this hole he had found himself in. Normally, this would be the part where the viewer could see how Shirogane perceives the situation would be played out and-
[I sense a devil nearby.]
'Shit. Are you for real? Where is it?'
[A couple of blocks away from the front gate. They've stopped in what seems like an alleyway.]
'What are the chances that it's just a stray?'
[Does it matter? A devil has encroached upon your territory. As a dragon, you have every right to smite them. I cannot understand why you wish to hide from the world as you do.]
'For f_u_c_ks sake, Albion. We've been over this.'
”President, I need to leave.” Miyuki looked up at me, still lost in thought. ”I just remembered that there was something important I have to do right now.” I didn't even bother waiting for his response, instead electing to walk straight up to the window and opening it.
”Oh, okay Shiroi-kun. Do be sure to fulfil your duties. Shuchiin Academy does not need a slacker General Affairs Officer.”
��Hai, hai. See ya.” And with that, I had jumped out of the window. After all these years of physical training from hell and all of my parkour training, falling from the third floor was a non-issue. Of course, I couldn't be too eye-catching, so I would swing from the flagpole on the first floor. The drop from there is safely within regular human limits and, as such, would be completely acceptable by the general public.
”Kyaa! It's the White Dragon Demon!”
”I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”
”Do you think he's in a relationship with Fujiwara-san?”
”I heard that he and Tepes-san are really close.”
”Seriously?”
”Of course someone like him would be close to one of The Impossible Girls.”
”Hah, I wouldn't even mind if he dated someone else on the side...”
Ah, yes. The fangirls. Because one cannot be accepted into the Student Council without being exceptional, after which, you would be put onto a pedestal by the rest of the students. In a school of rich second generations that would come to rule the country, only the truly exceptional can be readily accepted to rule over them.
Which is probably why Ishigami is almost never in the Student Council Chambers. Shame.
And White Dragon Demon? Really? I get angry one time and they put 'demon' at the end of my name. ONE F_U_C_K_I_N_G TIME!
[You forget that you are a dragon, Ryu-kun. Your anger is far more potent and oppressive than a mere human.]
'Gee, I wonder why that was the case? Maybe if an idiot dragon didn't decide that there was nothing more to his life than trying to kill another idiot dragon, neither of us would be in this mess.'
[I admit that I may have made a few small mistakes in the past.]
'Few? Small? Your fight ended a three-way war between all the biblical factions because THEY COULDN'T HAVE THEIR F_U_C_K_I_N_G WAR WHILE YOU TWO WERE FIGHTING! How does one fight even get in the way of a multi-dimensional war between gods anyway? Just what in the world were you and Ddraig even doing?���
'So they're not teleporting. I wonder what's going on over there.'
I ran past the front gate and began to run down the main road towards the devil's location. There were too many students in the way, so there wasn't enough space to properly sprint all the way; school had just finished not too long ago so most of the students were on their way home.
[Take a left by the 7-Eleven, and cross the street. They're in an alleyway 50 metres from the junction.]
I got there as fast as I could. Upon arrival, I came across what could only be a stray devil. They had black, twisted goat horns sticking out of their greasy brown hair. Their b_a_r_e b_r_e_a_s_ts, although very sizeable, had mouths filled with sharp teeth and a very long tongue where there would normally be n_i_p_p_l_es and a_r_e_o_l_ae. Past her waist, her body looked serpentine but was covered in red fur that had red slime oozing out of it.
Most importantly, there was a man's gelded p_e_n_i_s sticking out of her mouth. Said man was lying lifelessly on the ground beneath her. There was nothing left of his arms but bloody stumps at the shoulder leaking out blood onto the floor. From the pained look on his face, it was safe to assume he did not go to the afterlife peacefully.
”Look what the cat dragged in! Another shitty human to the slaughter, eh? I wonder how you will taste like when I'm done with you! Hey, shitty meatbag, how do you think you'll taste like!? Oi, tell me! I'm asking you a question!” Her voice came out manic and deranged, but it seemed one couldn't expect anything less really.
Pretty much all the stray devils I had come across were insane and deranged in some form or other, and all seemed to think they were invincible. Must be a fail-safe from Ajuka to make hunting strays that much easier. In their madness and arrogance, they wouldn't even bother hiding or assessing the strength of the person they're fighting.
That was an attribute I was completely willing to exploit.
In these scenarios, a typical anime character would strike up a conversation with their foe or adversary, trying to figure who they are and their motives for doing whatever they're doing. This gives the opponent time to power up and/or come up with a plan to fight the character they're facing.
I dashed right into the stray, my right arm beginning to glow white with touki. I pulled back and punched as hard and as fast as I could without drawing outside attention straight to their nose. Upon impact, their head exploded and bits of bone and brain matter flew every which way. Including my clothes and my orifices. Eurgh, gross.
Did I need to use that much force? No. But I wasn't willing to take any chances in this universe for her to get some retarded power-up or for someone who was 'interested' in me to pass by. I wanted to be in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible without any hiccups.
Animes had a habit of escalating meaningless scenarios after all.
I felt a vibration in my pocket and Unravel began to play. Sticking my hand inside, I pulled out my phone and saw that Valerie was calling me.
”Yo, Val.”
”Did something come up, Ryu-kun? I saw you running out of the school.”
”Oh, no. Nothing much.” I looked down at the headless and c_o_c_kless corpses. ”Just a stray passing through. I'm kinda covered in blood and guts, so I can't go back into the school grounds. Can you pass by the Student Council Chamber and pick up the papers and doc_u_ments I left behind?”
”Hmm, well, I'm kind of busy right now.” I could hear the smugness through the phone. ”You're gonna have to go get it yourself I'm afraid.”
”Hah, is this because of yesterday?”
