*A few days later.*
"So it's him, huh?" Rias said as she looked at Gilgamesh, who was walking home.
"Yes. Gilgamesh, his magical aura seems quite strong, strong enough to be aware that there is something wrong with us, very skilled in Kendo and Archery, but stopped going to clubs for unknown reasons, with grades high enough to become the number one in the entire school," Sona said as she listed everything she knew about Gilgamesh, though she showed a bit of annoyance at talking about him stealing her first place.
"He's called the 'King of the Kuoh Academy' or the 'Golden Lion of the Kuoh Academy' for all that," Sona said.
"Koneko also felt something inside him. Something powerful... Maybe he has a strong Sacred Gear... And maybe he even descended from a legendary hero," Rias said and Sona nodded.
"He probably does" Sona nodded and Rias hummed.
By the way, I still don't get it. Why 'Lion'?" Rias asked.
"Because he's not wild... He's in control of himself and he's smart... He's not just a fierce animal that attacks anything. Lions are calm and intelligent while hunting their prey, they don't attack you if it's a problem, and you don't mind. Gilgamesh is like that, but mostly they're above the rest." Sona explained as she adjusted her glasses.
"Hoo... That was pretty descriptive..." Rias chuckled. "You're pretty accurate, huh? As expected of you..."
Sona in response just fell silent, her expression still was stoic as she caught a few women talking to Gilgamesh.
"I want him" Sona said bluntly, making Rias pale. "He's a good person for my date and the Student Council. He's smart enough to participate and we can clearly use a boy. His reputation isn't really an issue and I still have a few pieces I could use for him." said her rival before sighing.
"The only reason I haven't recruited him already is because of you, Rias. If Gilgamesh contained a hidden talent, he would be good for your peerage against Riser."
Only silence was Rias's answer to that. In fact, she knew how interested Sona was in Gilgamesh. Rias was not the first to set eyes on the boy The boy was quite smart and also often helped other students, sometimes even repairing old school equipment, saving the school the costs of hiring a technician.
Sona had planned to recruit the boy a few months from now, because she wanted to watch Gilgamesh a little more and get to know him better after he started school. Originally, her plan was to recruit him this month, but she didn't. The reason was because Rias had asked.
There was news that her engagement to Riser was being sped up somehow. Rias, of course, was angry and demanded to know why, but her father hadn't told her and her older brother was also the same. So Rias asked Sona to give her the chance to recruit Gilgamesh, if the boy really was that special then he could become the key to her freedom.
Sona, of course, wasn't happy at all. She had been after Gilgamesh for over a month and the only reason she hadn't invited him before was because she wanted to watch him grow. In a way, Sona was a farmer who slowly and carefully cultivated her crops and just when she was ready to harvest them, someone else came along and tried to harvest them.
If it had been anyone else, Sona would have fought for Gilgamesh. Oh yes, she would have fought. However, Rias was her friend, her best friend since they were children and had grown up together... And so she was willing to give her a chance, a chance for Rias to recruit Gilgamesh.
However, if she failed, that would be it. There would be no other chance for her.
"Don't worry Sona, when I get to Gilgamesh, I'll make sure he passes by the Student Council a few times..." Rias tried to reassure her friend and Sona snorted inwardly.
"I don't think you will. If there's one thing I know about you Rias, it's that you're very greedy and protective of your peers." Sona thought, but didn't speak out loud. She knew Rias knew that too. She even noticed that Rias said 'when' and not 'if', indicating that she saw this as an agreement.
"The fallen have already made a move on him as you predicted... Hope you get what you want." Sona simply responded with a stoic face.
"I must..." Rias said firmly as he faced Gilgamesh. "For the sake of my dream, I must" She muttered.
What they didn't realize is that all the time a ladybug watched everything.
*With Gilgamesh.*
It had been some time since Gilgamesh moved to Kuoh City with the others.
And it's also been a lot since he and Mordred started studying at the Kuoh Academy.
In this time Valerie's training with her Sacred Gear increased making her gain better control over her.
At the Academy, the devils were still trying to get close to Gilgamesh, who ignored them.
During this time Gilgamesh became known as the 'King of Kuoh Academy' and the 'Golden Lion of Kuoh Academy', titles that Gilgamesh had no idea how he achieved.
Mordred was also known as one of the 'Princesses of Kuoh Academy' a title that she didn't like one bit.
She also joined the Kendo Club, where she quickly became the captain, although she actually just beat up everyone there.
You must be wondering how the devils didn't feel her power?
Mordred wore a special necklace that hid her power, Gilgamesh wore the same but he could make his power leak if he wanted to.
Now he and Mordred were leaving school after another day, which while cool was tiring.
"Hey master look at that," said Mordred, pulling Gilgamesh out of his thoughts.
Looking at the Gilgamesh gate he saw Issei talking to a girl.
She was an attractive young woman, with violet eyes and a slender body. She had long, silky black hair down to her hips. Her attire was her school uniform, which consisted of a dark red jacket with the letter "P" embroidered in gold, a white t-shirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a thin white sash at the bottom end of it.
Gilgamesh recognized the energy coming out of her.
It was that of a Fallen Angel.
And that could only mean one thing.
The plot was starting.
A big smile appeared on Gilgamesh's face.
*With Rias.*
"Akeno, is everything ready?"
"Of course, you don't need to worry, President."
Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima were talking. They were currently in the club room, just the two of them. Koneko Toujou and Kiba Yuuto were nowhere in sight. Rias Gremory's [Rook] was running errands for its master, while Rias Gremory's [Knight] had gone to his first summons.
Today was the weekend, the day Issei Hyoudou went out to meet his girlfriend who was a Fallen Angel. And it was also the day when some Fallen Angels would intercept Gilgamesh. At the same time, today was the day Rias would get two other members of his peers, or that was how it should be.
"Rias are you sure about that?"
