Chapter 12 - 12(2/2)
The 'boy' who entered did not look like a boy in the slightest. If anything 'he' looked like a beautiful young girl with short soft blond hair topped by a red ribbon, a very cute face with pretty and expressive green eyes. She was using a girl's uniform and was trying to give a cute smile but the reaction of most of the rest of the class was very negative.
The girls were glaring at her due to, well, be prettier than most of them despite being a guy. And the guys were looking in disgust at her due to dressing and trying to act like a girl despite being male.
In other words, Kiyoharu Suirenji was a transgender girl.
Soma looked in slight interest since he was used to people like this whose gender was somewhat complicated to decide (*COUGH* Astolfo and D'eon *COUGH*). That she actually had the guts to dress like that in class in middle school, Soma had to admit that Kiyoharu was already braver than anyone else of this class in his eyes.
It was not simple to actually do something like that and being courageous enough to do it, at the very least, earned some of Soma's respect.
The teacher looked around in search of somewhere that Kiyoharu could sit and noted that the back of the class had some empty seats. The reason? Soma was there and most of the people in the class were terrified of him after he acted out on the very first day and the fact that his introduction to the class included several threats to anyone who annoyed him.
"You can sit over there." The teacher spoke, pointing to the back of the class.
"Thanks, teacher." Kiyoharu spoke as she moved in that direction, murmurs from the other students as she passed being quite negative and very insulting. With practiced ease she ignored them all and sat at the back, looking to her side she saw Soma sitting there and offered her hand for a handshake. "You must be new in class, my name is Kiyoharu. Nice to meet you."
Soma extended his own hand as well and shook hers, which made her slightly surprised at his lack of, well, disgust at doing that. Many people acted as if she was somehow toxic to be around or touch even when she was just being friendly, especially if it was the first impression. That he showed no such issues was a positive in her eyes.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Soma Hanakai. First things first, Kioharu-san. Which gender you prefer being addressed as?" Soma said and she raised an eyebrow before he continued. "Well, I have met other people in your situation before so I know that you have a gender you prefer to be addressed at. I would rather use that over just making assumptions." D'Eon was always very mad when people called him a girl so asking this made sense for Soma.
Kiyoharu smiled widely as she answered.
"I am a girl. I mean, biologically I am a male but I AM a girl and intend to do the operation to become a full girl when I am old enough to do that." Kiyoharu admitted and Soma nodded.
In all honesty, the act of changing gender, for Soma, was nothing that big in terms of modifying the body. He certainly was modifying his body much further considering the changes he was doing to it daily to the point where calling him a 'normal human' will be impossible soo enough. If she wanted to change herself like that and already identified herself as a 'she' then that is her issue.
"Freak lover." A girl in the front mentioned loud enough for Kiyoharu to hear while sending a peek at Soma who had actually been friendly with the 'freak' of the class. Kiyoharu's mood worsened quickly and Soma just looked at the girl who spoke before opening his mouth.
"Two bucks bitch."
At this, the girl and everyone else froze and the teacher yelled.
"Soma Hanakai, to the director's office NOW! Such language is not something admissible in a classroom."
Soma just looked at the teacher before answering.
"So what I said is wrong but the homophobic and offensive language that was said by half this class in the last five minutes is completely alright? Is it a school policy to allow for such a thing or is it just you choosing to be deaf when it is convenient?"
The teacher glared at Soma who glared right back.
In this tense situation, Aya looked on as Soma did that, facing the teacher like that for someone he had just met over an injustice that should have been noted before but was never addressed. Aya was not stupid, despite what her grades might show. She knows that, in class, the only other person as bullied, if not more, than her was Kiyoharu. They even tried to be friends for a time but due to Aya always needing to go straight home after class and the fact that they couldn't really spend much time talking during time period due to various reasons, their friendship was only that of a close acquaintance. historical
That Soma so promptly stood up in the defense of another target for abuse made Aya feel like maybe she could really ask him for help. That he would really stand up for her as well if she asked.
As for the other student that was going to be introduced to the class, she could only stay in the door looking at the scene happening inside with wide eyes. Not really at what was happening, especially since she actually agreed with Soma since, as a devil, she knew how things like gender and stuff like that could be complicated in some cases, but because this class was insane.
'Three, no, there are 4Sacred Gear users in this single classroom. I know Kuoh is one of the 'hot spots' for Sacred Gear users to show up, but isn't this a bit absurd for a single class? How did so many users pass by Sona and Rias without either noting or doing anything about it?' Ravel thought to herself in shock as she observed the four people in class that had a sacred gear inside them.
Trois, Aya, Sarina... and Kiyoharu.
Ravel made a decision as she looked at those four. She had to investigate this and approach them, four users so close to each other in this place, they could become targets for fallen angels or any number of things. As one of the devils responsible for the town (she damn well knew her brother wouldn't do a thing about it and just delegate to her anyway), she had the responsibility to look after the citizens of Kuoh.
It was a matter of pride, after all.

AN:
Well, I am trying to avoid speaking here via PMs but I can already see problems appearing from some of the viewers so let me say this here.
Kiyoharu is a character from Mahou Shoujo Site, she has the mind, personality, and honestly the looks of a girl but she was born in a male body. She fully intends to do the operation to change genders and it is her right to decide this sort of thing. I met someone who went through this sort of thing and the treatment she got was terrible from those around, there is a lot of negativity around this sort of thing which I find absurd.
So, if anyone reading this fic finds this mere concept as 'disgusting' 'wrong' or decides to call me homosexual or make comments in any way related to this sort of thing, then don't. I will make sure to erase any such comment and if you refuse to read the fic after this chapter it is completely up to you. I am trying to show more realism in this fic, make this world something that could actually happen in real life (to a degree, this still is a world of magic boobies and gods), so hard matters to deal with can and do happen.
On a happier note, I hope you all enjoyed the little 'punishment' Soma set up for both Jirou and Kaname. Kaname prided himself on being a winner, now his body and mind will ensure he can't ever call himself normal, and as for Jirou, he used his body to do whatever he wanted all the time to his family, and now his body will ensure he can't be called a man NOR will he be able to use said strength anymore (chemotherapy really fucks with the body, my grandma went through it a few months back and it is devastating, PS: she is alive and well now).
But don't worry, they will still suffer more soon enough, I am vindictive, and even if I was the one who decided what they did I still feel like they can still suffer some more.
One more thing, I am discussing who I can base Trois. There are a few options and I want you guys' opinions on who would be best, if you have a better option please say so. I am still deciding and will only really have a final decision by the end of the week. Regardless, the powers and appearances will be adapted to suit the world of DxD. The options I figured out are these:
1 - Meredy (Fairy Tail)
2 - Juvia (Fairy Tail)
3 - Flare (Fairy Tail)
4 - Mary Hughes (Fairy Tail)
5 - Mami Tomor (Madoka Magika)
6 - Tattletale (Worm)
7 - Mariam (Toaru Majutsu Index)
Anyway, thanks for reading and until next time.
