DxD: The Fox and Demons

The Hero Tribe sent her to this academy as a 'watcher', which gave her two important responsibilities; to watch over the confirmed devils in the area while keeping a lookout for stray devils, and eliminating them if required.

As was her duty as a 'hero'.

...That being said, she has recently received two more objectives by her faction's leadership.

To find and determine whether the new foreign energy that a sensor of theirs has picked up near Kuoh Town was hostile to humanity or not, and to keep an eye out for the last descendant of the original Lucifer.

The Hero Tribe's duty must be fulfilled for the sake of humanity, which it has safeguarded for two thousand years as the best line of defense against the supernatural.

The organization was said to have been founded by the God of the Bible and has since spread across the world to continue their mission in secrecy, none of the supernatural factions were aware of their presence, but they were aware of the heroes that they created throughout history.

They were where humans with Sacred Gears were supposed to go if they wanted to fight instead of live normal lives.

Things have changed however...

The introduction of the devil's evil piece system has made recruiting new blood difficult, as many devils have snatched up any human with talent or a Sacred Gear like collectibles.

The Hero Tribe, thus, had to keep better vigilance over the devils and the other supernatural factions to prevent their fellow humans from being reincarnated into what they saw as a slavery system.

A sentiment that Nonaka nominally agreed with.

Now, with this strange power in this ostensible human, there was another point of concern to the heroes of this world, one that, given their already difficult circumstances, they couldn't let pass.

Which was why the young woman continued her intense stare, finally moving her sword away from his face after a few more tense moments. A green aura appearing on her arm once more, which took her armor and sword away from her.

"I will trust your word for now, Uzumaki-san. But if you give me a reason to doubt your sincerity...then I, Nonaka Yuki of the Hero Tribe will end you." Nonaka Yuki stated with utmost certainty.

After all, she was well-trained, and she was sure that she could deal with whatever this boy could throw at her.

Her warning to him was not really for her own benefit either, but more for the ordinary humans around them.

For the sake of humanity.

That was the duty of a hero after all.

Naruto could have cried in relief, happy that he didn't have to show his hand in a school filled with supernatural beings. He could go back home and regroup from this unexpected wake up call.

"Understood, Nonaka-san, I promise you that I won't cause any trouble here! In fact, I was forced into Kuoh because a police officer said I was too young to be working. So I'm not here of my own free will, ya know?" Naruto stated, in the hopes that she would see that he had no ulterior motives.

Nonaka didn't bother to respond as she turned around to leave the rooftop, heading towards her next class since school was still ongoing. She just needed to make sure that Uzumaki wasn't a threat before he could be allowed to leave the premises.

Moreover, how stupid did she take her for? There wasn't any kind of law in Japan that dictated that teenagers had to go to high school.

Either he was lying, or he was tricked.

Though, she was pretty confident that he was lying.

Meanwhile, as the blond watched the young woman leave, he couldn't help but believe that he seriously needed to get back to his house in order to figure out how to approach this new problem.

Apparently there were also strong humans among the other strange creatures that inhabited this world, giving him more to worry about.

He just couldn't catch a break here could he?

The worst part was that...if this girl knew about him, then it was possible that other groups knew about him too.

The blond quickly left the rooftop in order to leave the academy and get back home, where he wouldn't feel like everyone was waiting for him to blow his cover.

It was suffocating for someone like him to constantly be aware, forced to be on edge all of the damn time, and keep himself from standing out too much.

It just wasn't what he was used to. Even if it was necessary...he still didn't like it one bit.

He, very simply, needed to wind down a bit in a place that he could feel like himself without being constantly watched.

Hopefully this would be the last 'incident' with this world's supernatural that he would have for a while.

Naruto quickly jogged at an 'average' human pace towards the front of the academy, getting ready to leave, up until he muttered a curse under his breath.

Unfortunately for him, he ran head first from one problem into another, this time in the form of one of those strange beings that he still didn't really know about...yet.

The girl in front of him was a teenager with black hair that has been shortened and shaped to a bob-cut style, with piercing violet eyes that were framed by a pair of glasses focusing on him as he approached.

She wore the typical Kuoh Academy female uniform and had a petite figure, usually befitting one of her age.

She went by the name of Shitori Sona; the student council president of this academy, and quite possibly a supernatural being that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with.

"...Uzumaki Naruto...the transfer student." Sona stated matter-of-factly, giving Naruto a sudden chill from her tone.

It was the tone he was somewhat familiar with now, the tone of an upcoming lecture.

But before Naruto could make an attempt to escape, the student council president continued. "The transfer student that should be in class in order to continue his education, rather than roaming around the school, skipping class, and sleeping during lectures."

By this point, Sona's glasses took in the reflection of light, which gave her a natural glare without having to make the expression for it.

He had to admit, that was pretty cool.

"Listen I had a good reason for it..." Naruto began, before getting cut off by Sona again.

"I'm sure you have your reasons, Uzumaki-san, but attaining an education is your most important goal right now. It is what you should be focusing on so that you could become a good and prosperous citizen. This is for your future." Sona claimed with conviction.

Naruto was momentarily stunned at the complete faith that she held in her statement, thrown off by it a bit.
