High School DxD: Lustful Ascension

As the summer heat arrived in May and June, Tokyo's weather felt even hotter, and the girls dressed more and more breezily.

Beneath the almost barren cherry blossom trees, Su Qingqiu suppressed the turmoil in his heart as he gazed at the black-stockinged, ultra-short skirt before him. He spoke calmly, "Classmate, my goal is to get into Tokyo University, so I'm not considering such matters for now... Sorry."

The charming blonde girl seemed unfazed. "Oh... Sorry for troubling you, Uesugi-kun, but... I'll be back."

Her black-stockinged long legs swayed as she disappeared to the end of the playground.

Su Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the tree trunk, his expression flickering between light and shadow.

"This is the eighth time this month... Damn it, why doesn't it work..."

Due to an accident, Su Qingqiu had found himself in this parallel world of neon lights.

Coincidentally, his name was still Qingqiu.

However, it was now Uesugi Qingqiu.

Full name Uesugi Qingqiu, 16 years old, a first-year student at Kuou Private Academy.

At first, his excitement about crossing over was boundless, but as he merged with the memories of his former self and understood this world, his excitement turned into introversion.

Firstly, this world was an incredibly chaotic, two-dimensional world.

There were both explicit and implicit elements, with humans, gods, demons, and yokai all living together.

A classmate standing with you in detention during the day might be a ruthless monster at night.

Moreover, this world leaned more toward a darker side.

Anyway, the characters he had encountered so far from more "normal" stories were anything but serious.

Being in this chaotic world was one thing, but Qingqiu's former self was the typical "protagonist" template.

With black, tousled hair, a delicate and handsome face, a slender and weak body, and a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose, his gentle personality made him courteous to everyone, eager to help, and constantly pursued by girls...

In a typical two-dimensional world, he would naturally be the classic harem protagonist, but in this world...

He was definitely a "troubled protagonist"!

Realizing this fact, Qingqiu had tried countless times to change his fate.

For example, he tried working out and rejecting requests for help from girls.

He also switched his glasses to contacts, dyed his hair blond, and tried to join the delinquents...

He tried everything he could think of, but with little success.

Not only did cheats fail to appear, but his efforts seemed to have no effect at all.

No matter how much he trained, his body showed no signs of becoming stronger.

His dyed hair faded quickly, at most lasting two or three days, and the delinquents wouldn't accept him.

The girls still had a high favorability toward him, constantly "self-strategizing" even if he did nothing.

And as time went on, the fate of being a "troubled protagonist" loomed ever closer to Qingqiu.

Initially, he only faced a confession once a month, but now it had increased to twice a week.

Not only in quantity but also in quality.

From pure and cute classmates to voluptuous older sisters, and even angelic faces with devilish bodies in black stockings...

Qingqiu also noticed that ever since someone confessed to him, various troubles had continuously sought him out.

Things like picking fights, extortion, and bullying had become all too common.

For now, he could still rely on his two lifetimes' worth of experience and various tactics to barely cope. But if he ended up getting too close with a beautiful girl, causing the troubled protagonist template to fully activate, he might not live to see the next day.

Thus, Qingqiu forced himself to suppress his desires and impulses.

Compared to getting intimate with beautiful girls, preserving his life was more important.

Adding to Qingqiu's helplessness and despair was the fact that his former self seemed to have offended a demon delinquent at the academy.

Kuou Private Academy had two parts: ordinary students and those with supernatural abilities.

The most typical among the supernatural students were demons and their followers.

Ordinary students couldn't possibly know this, but Qingqiu knew the truth because he had watched the anime "High School DxD" in his previous life.

Though his memory of Kuou Private Academy was somewhat vague due to the passage of time, he remembered the name Rias Gremory very clearly.

Since catching a distant glimpse of that long-haired, voluptuous, pure-blooded demon girl... no, beauty, Qingqiu immediately recalled details about Kuou Private Academy.

The academy had its rules: students from the supernatural department couldn't attack ordinary students on school grounds. The delinquent's earlier actions were already out of line.

But even if they were pursued, the other party wouldn't face severe punishment, at most a few days of suspension.

In other words, if something happened outside school, the school wouldn't care much, at most seeking justice after the incident.

After all, without any measures, ordinary students at the academy would soon disappear completely.

Even if the punishment after the fact was severe, Qingqiu doubted that the delinquent demon would spare him out of fear of punishment…

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.

Under the bare cherry blossom tree, a figure in black, with a cold expression and blond hair, walked arrogantly up to Qingqiu.

The last rays of the setting sun were blocked, the orange-golden glow on the face disappeared, leaving only a deep shadow, mirroring Qingqiu's current mood.

"Kid, it seems the last lesson wasn't enough!"

The delinquent's voice was gruff, his eyes fierce, his demeanor clearly displeased. "Why would Reina and the others be interested in a loser like you?"

Suppressing his gloomy mood, Qingqiu managed a smile and was about to explain.

But the delinquent had no intention of listening to him.

Bang!!!

A gust of wind swept past, stinging Qingqiu's cheek, accompanied by flying wood chips, as a loud bang echoed in his ears.

"Listen up, kid."

The delinquent, looking thin and weak, grabbed Qingqiu by the collar single-handedly and lifted him effortlessly.

"This is your final warning. If I see you with Reina and the others again, you're dead!"

"If you don't do as I say, unless you stay on campus forever, otherwise... heh heh heh."

Qingqiu, suffocated and turning red, could only nod with all his might.

"Tch."

Seeing Qingqiu powerless to resist, the delinquent spat disdainfully, released him, and turned to leave.

Once the delinquent was far away, Qingqiu stood up with a gloomy expression.

Just like the confessions, the troublemakers' strength was also increasing, and this delinquent was someone his former self had already offended.

Qingqiu even suspected that half of his former self's sudden death was due to the delinquent's previous "lesson."

The deep fist mark on the tree trunk and the fact that the delinquent, despite being under 170 cm tall, could easily lift him single-handedly, indicated that he was no ordinary person.

"Damn it, those three girls are really trouble."

Dusting off his pants, Qingqiu couldn't help but curse. "And this delinquent, is he visually impaired or mentally deficient? I've rejected them so many times, and they still cling to me. What can I do?"

The "Reina gang" mentioned by the delinquent were Qingqiu's classmates.

There were three of them, all stunning beauties with great figures: Hamazaki Reina, Sasaki Yukina, and Kurumizaka Ruri.

Not long after school started, Qingqiu had been entangled by them. His former self couldn't resist the temptation and agreed, only to be taught a harsh lesson by the delinquent that very day.

After three days bedridden, the former Qingqiu somehow suddenly died, and when he woke up, he was no longer the same Qingqiu.

Now, until he found a way to resolve the troubled protagonist template, he absolutely wouldn't get involved with any women, let alone these three, who were main characters from darker storylines.

If he consented, he might end up dying with his head metaphorically "greener" than a lush pasture.

Yet, the three girls wouldn't give up.

Earlier, the owner of the long, black-stockinged legs was Hamazaki Reina, and then the delinquent, suspected to be a demon, came looking for trouble again.

This time, the delinquent definitely wouldn't just let him off with a simple warning.

Qingqiu felt unwilling, but he could only curse inwardly. Not to mention the pressures from the troubled protagonist template, as an ordinary person, he had no means to combat such a special existence as the delinquent.

Even a lower-tier demon was an insurmountable mountain for an ordinary person.

"If worst comes to worst... I'll have to risk seeking help from the Occult Research Club."

Since seeing Rias Gremory, Qingqiu had wanted to make contact. She was not only a highly popular beauty but also a pure-blooded upper-tier demon.

Moreover, she was currently the underground ruler of Kuou Academy, the ruler of the supernatural side.

With her help, the delinquent's threat would be nothing.

But Qingqiu was just an ordinary person, with no way to reach Rias, who stood at the academy's pinnacle.

Additionally, even if he did obtain Rias's help, he'd inevitably be dragged into troublesome matters afterward.

As the main character, her smallest troubles could spell doom for Qingqiu.

Thinking more wouldn't help. No matter how he chose, there was no perfect solution to his current predicament. Ultimately, it was because Qingqiu's power was too low.

An ordinary person, in a world full of demons and monsters, was, frankly, not even as good as a dog.
