Issei opened his eyes. He blinked for a while because of how bright the room was.
"Issei!" Rias who sat by the bed he was lying on, immediately went and hugged him.
"Rias? What happened?" Issei asked as he hugged her back and caressed it. Rias released the hug and wiped a small tear forming on her right eye.
"After you drank my jug of blood, you stumbled back and fainted on the spot. You've been out for a few hours now, Issei." Rias explained. Issei rubbed his head and slowly sat up.
"I'm sorry for interrupting but what kind of idiot drinks 1 liter of someone's blood and doesn't expect his body to have some sort of reaction? " Raynare asked out loud.
" Apparently Issei doesn't. Hard to believe this was the guy who defeated Freed and that Riser Phenex dude." Kalawarna grumbled. Kiba chuckled and looked at Issei who seemed uncomfortable.
" Hey? Are you alright? " Kiba asked him and stretched out his hand. Issei grabbed it and was pulled up by Kiba.
"I'm fine, man. I'm just a little dazed from what happened. " Issei replied and looked at Asia who stood by him.
"Asia—Oof!" Issei grunted as he was hugged tightly by Asia and Akeno.
"I thought I was about to lose you!" Asia sobbed. Akeno stayed silent and kept hugging him.
"Never scare us like that again. And also, never take advice from ancient dragons ever again." Koneko scolded. Issei chuckled and looked down at the girls hugging him. Akeno looked at him.
"Woah, Issei. Your eyes, they changed colors." Akeno revealed, surprising Issei. She pushed Issei towards the mirror in his bedroom. Issei looked closely.
"Woah..... That's weird. " Issei whispered. The light brown color was completely erased and was replaced by blue colored ones. His eye color was basically a copy of Rias' eye color.
"And the hair as well." Issei whispered as he looked at his new hair. His fully brown hair now had some streaks of crimson color mixed in between them.
"Wait." Issei pulled his pants outwards to look at his dick. Yep, it got longer.
[Race: Devil/ Dragon/ Human hybrid]
"Damn.... I'm part devil now." Issei grumbled, shocking all in the room.
"What!?" Raynare shouted in shock. Rias was even more surprised than she was.
"Issei-san is a devil like us now?" Asia asked, wanting to confirm. Issei looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah, I am. I feel some demonic energy within my systems now." Issei replied to her question.
'Yo Ddraig, what happened? ' Issei asked the dragon.
'What else? The blood you drank fused with you. Now you're part Gremory too, but don't tell her that because she'll freak out and faint. And since you're part Gremory, that means..... '

Issei felt that his demonic power he gained was at least 1/3 of what Rias' has currently. Issei looked at Rias and smiled.
" You can hit me now for scaring you." Issei told her. Rias huffed childishly and looked away. Kiba looked around the room and sighed.
"So, what now?" He asked.

Summer break was finally over, the very next day, Issei was walking around school with a confident smile on his face.
The girls were looking at him as usual. It was hard to believe that a few months ago, the girls were looking at him with disgust and absolute hatred in their eyes, and now they're looking at him with blushes on their faces.
Issei entered his classroom and sat down on his desk. Murayama and Katase approached him.
"Hey Issei. Are you going to spar with us later?" Murayama asked.
" I'm sorry girls but I can't, I have club activities after school. " Issei replied. Katase immediately sulked.
" How about a drawing? Will that satisfy you?" Issei asked them with a smile. They immediately brightened up.
" Yes please!!"

"The baseball tournament is already next week. We can't lose in the battle against the other clubs! " Rias declared while resting a baseball bat over her shoulder.
There's going to be a 'Ball Tournament' school event very soon. And in that, the ones maintaining the stakes is the club tournament.
What the clubs will compete in will be announced on the day of the event, so Rias her peerage and Issei were practicing the main type of ball games that might come up before our club activities, like this.
"Next is Asia! Here I go!" Rias declared and swung the baseball with the metal bat.
*BANG!!!*
Asia narrowed her eyes and dove down to catch the rolling ball. She caught it. She got up and waved the ball she caught happily. " Yay!!! I caught it!! Hihihi!!" Asia giggled happily. Rias smiled.
"Great job, Asia! Next is Kiba!" Rias shouted and swung another ball high up in the air. Issei looked at Kiba who was not even focusing at all. The ball came closer to Kiba's head and hit him.
*Bonk!!!*
Kiba clutched his head in pain. Issei, Asia and Rias ran over to him immediately.
"Kiba-san! Are you alright! Let me heal you!" Asia used Twilight Healing and started healing up Kiba's bump injury he got from the baseball.
"Sorry guys, my mind was somewhere else." Kiba forced a smile.
'Something is clearly bothering him. He's been zoning out like this ever since he visited my house yesterday. I need to ask him about it. ' Issei decided.
"We'll take 5." Rias decided. Issei sighed and went to drink some water from his own water bottle.
"Issei, do you know? Recently, Rias Buchou started reading a love manual. " Akeno revealed. Issei was surprised but then he smiled.
" Did you borrow her that book, Akeno?" Issei looked at her. Akeno blushed a little and looked away.
"A-ara Ara~ Issei~ How could I borrow her something s-so unnatural." Akeno stuttered. Issei chuckled and kissed her head.
" C'mon, let's go tease her about it. " Issei changed the topic. Akeno smiled mischievously.
" Let's go! "

Another day has passed, Issei was currently sitting on his seat while sketching Asia with a warm smile on his face.
He looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Ah. It's time for the club to gather." Issei packed up his stuff in his school bag. He looked at Asia who was chatting with Aika Kiryuu, the most perverted girl in the whole Academy.
She wears spectacles, has gold colored eyes and lightly messy brunette colored hair tied into braids on each side. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform.
He was glad that she had finally stepped out of her comfort zone and made some friends of her own, but business is still business.
"Asia, finished eating?" Issei asked her. Aika looked at Issei and her glasses flashed dramatically.
" Asia, your pervert of a boyfriend is calling you. " Aika teased her with a straight face.
" B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-boyfriend!!?" Asia squealed with a big blush on her face.
"Eh? Am I wrong? You guys hang out together literally everyday. So I naturally thought you two are dating." Aika replied, feeling confused. Seeing, Asia's flustered face, she smirked.
" Hmm... I see. But you know, from an outsider's perspective, you guys are always together in the evenings. One could only imagine you two to be a couple you know? " Aika explained in a factual tone. Asia blushed even more. Issei smiled at the interaction.
" You guys are also even living together too! Who knows what kind of things you two are doing without anyone to bother you? Hehehe! " Aika giggled pervertedly while looking at Issei.
"By the way, it was me who taught her about skin ship. How was it, was she good? " Aika asked. Issei sighed.
" I would appreciate if you would give us some privacy, Aika. How would you like it if I revealed your private life to everyone in this school hm? "Issei asked her.
" Well, I obviously wouldn't be very happy about it. So I guess you guys have a point. " Aika grumbled. Issei smiled.
" I'm glad you understand. Anyways, let's go Asia. It's time to assemble, so let's go to the club room. " Issei grabbed Asia's hand and exited the classroom with Aika smirking slyly at them.
When they exited the classroom, Issei sighed and looked at the still blushing Asia. "Sorry about her, Asia." Issei whispered.
"No, it's fine. I enjoyed the banter." Asia smiled warmly at him.
'Shit! I'm about to melt! My demonic powers are dwindling from this smile!!!' Issei panicked in his mind while maintaining a calm face on the outside.
They arrived and entered the Occult Research Club building.
"Sorry for being late, Rias." Issei grumbled nonchalantly and looked at the additional people in the same room as him. It was Sona and her peerage. Sona looked at Issei and smiled a little.
"Hello, Issei....
