Life in DXD

Chapter 5: Meeting the boys



After leaving behind the desperate father and daughter pair Tatsuya went to his class and took the most famous the 'protagonist seat' as it was still empty.

After taking his seat he looked out of the window and saw Irina and Touji still trying to win over each other. He was a little surprised when he saw Irina gave up rather easily.

Soon after that some more students started coming to the class. He looked at the seat beside him and saw a boy with blonde hair sitting there and he looked like he was in the same situation as Tatsuya that is he too didn't knew anybody here.

Just as he was about to introduce himself to the boy, the teacher came to the class.

The teacher looked around the class and nodded on seeing that everybody was present. She introduced herself to them and then asked the students to do the same.

When his turn came he stood up and said, "Tatsuya Shiba" and then sat down quitely. The teacher and the students gave him a second glance but left it at that. Tatsuya looked at the boy who was sitting beside him stood up to introduce himself but Tatsuya was very surprised to meet one of the characters of the show so soon.

The boy who stood up looked at the teacher with an excited smile and said, "My name is Saji Genshirou I hope that we all can be friends" and sat down. Tatsuya looked at him for a second but then looked back at the teacher.

After the introduction classes went on like normal. Tatsuya even though thought that it was easy for him still looked at the teacher and did not looked out of the window or slept on the desk like any other protagonist. Now don't misunderstand he was still not listening to the teacher but was meditating with his eyes open.

After the bell for the break rang Tatsuya looked at the boy sitting beside him and moved his hand forward and said, "Nice to meet you I am Tatsuya Shiba." Saji looked towards him and smiled before shaking his hand and said, "Nice to meet you as well I am Saji Genshirou."

They both talked for a while and Tatsuya confirmed his suspicion that Saji too didn't knew anybody here. They both went outside and had lunch together. There were also some boys who approached them and they too became friends with both of them though the other boys along with Saji were slightly annoyed as many girls came to Tatsuya to talk to him and ask him to play with them.

Tatsuya could only smile helplessly. While all this was happening Tatsuya didn't noticed Irina who was secretly looking at him with a hateful gaze.

After the lunch break was over all of them went back to the class and again Tatsuya did the same thing. Though during the time they were asked to play Dodgeball on the field most of the boys thought of giving Tatsuya a lesson as he got very popular among the girls even though it was his first day at the school. Tatsuya who heard what they were thinking through his telepathy decided to teach them to mess up with him.

On the field the only thing that the game could be called was 'total annihilation'. Tatsuya dodged Evey ball aimed towards him while ruthlessly hitting them back though he controlled his strength to not give them serious injuries.

After that game his popularity among the girls increased further and respect and fear amon the boys also increased.

When the school was over Saji and Tatsuya left the class together while talking to eachother. After reaching the school gate Saji and Tatsuya went their separate ways.

Tatsuya who spotted Irina went towards her. When he approached her he saw that she was talking with someone. To not disturb her he stood there silently while waiting for them to finish their talk.

One they stopped talking he approached them and said, "Hey Irina how was your day?" Irina who heard someone calling her looked towards the direction of the voice and once she found out that it was Tatsuya she 'hmph' and looked away while pouting.

Tatsuya went towards Irina and poked her cheeks and said, "I am sorry I didn't tell you about this as you were very excited for school and would have been disappointed if you knew about this."

Even though she heard him apologising but was still looking away. Seeing her like that Tatsuya sighed and said, "Ok I will cook anything for you for dinner today alright."

Hearing this Irina immediately forgave him and hugged him excitedly.

Tatsuya also hugged her back but soon separated and asked, "So how was your day, did you make any friends?"

Hearing his question Irina smiled and said, "Yeah the school was good though it would be better if you would have been here too and yes I made friends as well." She looked towards a boy with brown hair and said, "Meet my friend Issei."

Issei who was standing there while listening to their conversation jolted in surprise and said, "Hello nice to meet you I am Issei Hyuodou Shidou's friend."

Tatsuya who heard his name was not that much surprised as he knew that Irina would meet Issei around this time he was just a bit excited to meet th MC of the anime in real life. He moved his hand forward and said, "Tatsuya Shiba Irina's friend nice to meet you too."

They stood their and talked for a while before going home as both Issei's and Irina's parents came. Both the families introduced themselves and both Issei's mother and father were surprised when they saw how well mannered Tatsuya was. They initially thought that Tatsuya was Irina's brother but Irina immediately denied it. When she realised what she had done she got embarrassed and his behind Tatsuya.

Seeing her like that Issei's parents, Grace and Tatsuya were chuckling, Issei was confused and Touji again had a conflicted expression as even though he was amused seeing her daughter like that but was also thinking that her daughter was going away from her.

After all that both the families said goodbye to eachother and left though Grace dragged Touji by the ear much to the amusement of Irina and Tatsuya.
