She was the third most popular girl in Kuō Academy after Rias Gremory and Himejima Akeno, popular with girls and slightly masochistic boys among others. She was a strict disciplinarian and had a cool, unshakable air about her that was attractive. Her body may not have been comparable to the other two but it was svelte and lithe. The name floating above her head gave him pause, however.

Sona Sitri LV41

[Heiress of the House of Sitri/Kuō Academy Student Council President]

What the heck was going on here? Another Heiress to a family he had no idea about? Things were getting more and more confusing. He would [Observe] Sōna-kaichou later as she was around far more often than Rias Gremory.

"[Observe]" he whispered as he walked towards the two girls. He ignored the screen that popped up as he walked past, nodding politely to them as he passed. When he got to the boy's bathroom, he took a stall and locked it tight before having a look at it.

"What the fuck?" Issei breathed. Devil? Gremory-sempai was an actual devil? As in fire and brimstone from western mythology? What the hell was going on here?

Shaking his head, he looked at the stats. He couldn't see any numbers! Reaching out to press the question marks replacing the numbers in HP, a screen popped up at his touch.

This person is too high of a level for [Observe] to read their HP at its current level. Additionally, they are of a supernatural race with a high degree of skill in magic, which is interfering in the use of [Observe].

This made the brown-haired boy frown. His [Observe] was at Level 10 right now as he had been exhausting his MP every day for the last five days to get it up as high as he could get it in case of something like this and it still wasn't high enough?

'Lesson learned.' He mused with a shrug. Next time, he'd have it considerably higher.

Moving on to the Special Status, the [Devils Wings] one was obvious. Opening it up, he discovered that she could manifest her wings whenever she pleased using her 'demonic energy,' which was the devil's version of MP, he presumed.

[Pureblooded Devil] on the other hand was probably what it sounded like, but he didn't think Devils were concerned about bloodlines, so he clicked on it to see the details.

[Pureblooded Devil]

The bearer of this status is 100% Devil and has no non-Devil personages in his or her ancestry. This grants their Demonic Magic a bonus of 20% power with -15% DEP (Demonic Energy Points) cost to all spells. Additionally their body will naturally be far stronger than that of a human from a young age, starting off with a base count of 20 per physical stat. It also bestows the Flaws [Light-Bane] and [Holy Weakness], as well as the Perk [Seduction from the Darkness] and the Special Status [Devil's Temptation] upon the holder.

Issei had to silently whistle in amazement. Looks as if being a Devil seriously had its perks! The bonuses to their own brand of magic alone would be worth it, let alone the physical stat bonus! The [Devil's Temptation] was an application of the natural charm and persuasion abilities of devils.

The [Joint-Ruler of Kuō] status would explain why she was so angry at him for basically ignoring her. Still, when he pulled up the list of people who had to give her notice before doing something in her territory, humans were only included if they were a member of any Church or the Shinto Pantheon. Other than that, it was a list of supernatural races, like Yōkai.

Filing that as a counter-argument if she pushed the point should they meet later, he checked out her Perks and Flaws.

[Heiress of the House of Gremory] (Passive)

The person who bears this title is the first person in line to inherit the title of Gremory, one of the few remaining 72 Pillar families. This grants them nigh-untouchable status and authority within the Gremory Territories, as well as the [Leadership] stat.

[Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess] (Passive)

This title denotes the holder to be a female descendent of the Bael Family and one who has inherited their talents at that. The title will always retain the 'Ruin Princess' section, but the first section will change depending on the hair-colour of the holder. The holder has access to the unique Demonic Magic of the Bael Family, the Power of Destruction, as well as a further 20% increase to the power of all Demonic Magic.

[Seduction from the Darkness] (Passive)

Devils are well known for taking on the appearance of handsome men and beguiling females, especially in the case of the succubae and incubate. As such, the holder of this Perk has the optimal appearance for being seductive for their gender and general appearance, granting them the Charisma stat and a further +10 to all [Persuade], [Seduce] and [Charm] actions.

[Light-Bane] (Passive)

Created by Lucifer, the first Maō, Devils are the very antithesis of Angels. They gain power in the darkness and shadows, while the weaker among them lose power in the sunlight. Any who hold this power gain +10 buff to all stats during the night. Additionally, those who are below Level 20 suffer a -20 Debuff to all physical stats and a -10 debuff to all mental stats during the day, regardless of whether it is sunny or not. Light-type weapons will also be 20% more effective against any Devil, regardless of level.

[Holy Weakness] (Passive)

The God of the Bible's Holy power is even worse for Devils than Light, attacking their souls as well as their bodies. Should a Devil become injured as a result of Holy-type weaponry, spells or auras, the effects will be 50% more effective and reduce any healing spell or item's effectiveness by 60%.

[Cares Too Much] (Passive)

The holder of this Flaw is very empathic and caring towards those he or she cares about. This is usually a good thing, except it can lead to them being paralyzed if something happens to those they care for in the middle of battle. The holder receives a 25% bonus to Reputation gains to those he or she is at [Friendly] status or higher, but should those at that status be harmed around her, there is a 50% chance of he or she freezing up and hesitating.
