WELCOME BACK! Once again super sorry about the huge gap between this chapter and the last, I've been trying to balance my life enough to continue writing. So without further ado let's get back into Ouroboros Dragon Emperor!

Still own nothing from Highschool DxD

{Ddraig Speaking}
'Ddraig Speaking to Issei'
[Abilities Being Used]

'Characters Thinking'

Issei woke up with a pounding headache. 'Ddraig, what the hell was that?'

{I apologize partner, you summoned my sacred gear but it somehow mutated... and well lets just say you should look in the mirror}

Issei got up out of bed slowly, his headache slowly fading with each step he took. He made his way to the bathroom and flicked on the light and barely stopped himself from yelling out in shock. The figure standing in the mirror was vastly different to what Issei normally saw. His body only slim before was now sporting a six pack and plenty of other musculature to spare, as his eyes traveled up himself he found two more shocking discoveries. His canines had sharpened and elongated almost like true fangs, they fit perfectly just like he had been born with them, after that he noticed his eyes. Before they had been brown, but now they were a deep emerald green and his pupils had become slits and resembled those of Ddraig's.

'Uhh Ddraig what's up with the new look?'

'Well the mutation from the gear flooded your body with draconic energy, I did my best to allocate it into less obvious or easy to explain places. I figured a boost to your metabolism and muscle groupings would be better than having you grow scales everywhere. Not sure how the fangs and eyes happened though, call it a side effect I guess.'

'Fair enough, and thank you for making the transformation subtle enough I guess. So what should I expect from all this?' Issei asked Ddraig gesturing to his whole body.

'Well you'll be much faster and stronger than any other human without a sacred gear, and you'll be able to hold your own against most low level creatures and that's without your gear'

'Damn, any downsides?'

'Well, any weapon with dragon slaying properties are now much more dangerous to you, and any creatures that can sense auras will see you as a dragon for all intents and purposes'

'Okay so dragon slayers bad, be wary of people who can see auras, and I'm basically part dragon now… nice. Well I better get ready for school'

'Alright partner, I shall be asleep but if you require me just ask. Also the Gremory girl will most likely call for you at some point today, so be prepared' Ddraig's presence slowly receded from Issei's mind as he spoke before disappearing entirely.

Issei quickly got ready for school, thanking the fact that his uniform had been a bit big and baggy before as his new body filled them out to a decent fit. He made his way downstairs, and saw his parents sitting there in a slight daze as if they were just moving through the motions, and they didn't comment on his new looks at all.

'Must be some sort of spell Rias put on them. I'll have to thank her for keeping them out of all this' Issei thought to himself as he made his way to school.

"Alright let's see what this new body can do" Issei said aloud as he started stretching and moving into a good position to take off running.

'Alright, 1… 2… 3… GO!' Issei thought as he took off, though his speed took him by surprise because without hitting a full sprint Issei was already moving faster than quite a few of the cars on the road. Slowly he reigned it in to what felt like a nice jog to him but to anyone else he would have looked like a track star going all out. He made it to school in record time, and nodded to Sona as he made his way through the gates with 15 minutes to spare before class. Unbeknownst to him Sona was staring him down and taking mental notes of his newfound 'look'.

While sitting through class Issei had found a new downside to his draconic abilities. He could hear the whispering of everyone in his classrooms

"Did you see Issei's new look? He's kinda scary now"

"I don't know, I think the fangs are sexy"

"I wonder where he got those contacts, they're super realistic"

"I wonder if every part of him got bigger"

Issei tried real hard to pinpoint whoever said the last one, but gave up after their voice was covered up by everyone else's. Issei did his best to ignore them all, and just focused on getting through the school day waiting for Rias to fetch him. Finally within the last hour of class, Kiba walked through the door. He bowed to everyone before politely asking to borrow Issei for the rest of the day. "the Prince and his Knight, do you think they're together?" That time Issei found the culprit, Aika Kiryuu. Instead of saying anything though he just winked and smiled as he followed Kiba out the door, taking pride in how red her face went.

"So Hyoudou, what's with the new look?" Kiba asked, looking Issei up and down and as they walked through the halls.

"No clue really, Ddraig said the way my gear manifested released a bunch of draconic energy into my body. He shifted it to different parts of my body so I'm a human-dragon hybrid now I guess" Issei replied shrugging nonchalantly.

Before long the 2 of them reached the clubhouse and made their way inside. Everyone was already waiting in the main room, with Rias sitting at her desk with Akeno behind her. Kiba joined Koneko on the couch and gestured for Issei to sit on the opposite couch. Rias stood from her desk and made her way over to the couch sitting between Koneko and Kiba, and took a moment to compose herself before speaking.

"Issei, I would like to offer you a position as an honorary peerage member. You wouldn't be required to do anything and you could leave whenever you wanted and it would give you a chance to learn about the supernatural" Rias had started the offer calmly but started rambling nervously towards the end.

"Sounds good to me, I'm in way over my head and you guys are the only supernatural entities who haven't tried to kill me yet." Issei replied jokingly. All of them spent the rest of the day catching Issei up on a basic crash course to the supernatural world and he explained his new look and his newfound speed and strength to the group. As the day was winding down to a close Rias received a message and found the perfect opportunity to show Issei how the Devils worked and possibly get to see him in action as well.
