On the black board, the name, Austin Moore, was written.
At the same time, the girls in the class were stunned as they looked at the tall and blonde haired man who looked as if he had jumped out of a fairy tale. They couldn't believe that such a man could exist in the real world, but when they looked at the name on the black board, their shock doubled because it was the name of the most famous scientist in the world, the man who literally rescued the entire human race from the brink of extinction years ago.
As the weird virus was something that none could understand or analyze by looking at its composition and try to find a counter against it to create a safe and harmless antidote. The only one who managed to do it was a scientist named Austin Moore. No one saw his face or where he was living as his information was a top secret only very few knew about. Not even the leaders of the world knew about him or even saw him as he didn't show up for meetings at all preferring to stay in his lab.
But more than that, the entire world revered him as the Savior of the human race. Although he didn't know about it, yet.
But as they were shocked by that, they immediately rethought again and reached a conclusion: maybe the name was similar and he is not the real deal. Even the principal thought so and didn't dwell in the matter for long. As someone like the great Austin Moore wouldn't be showing up as a mere teacher in some highschool like Kouh, even by coincidence.
That made them calm down a little, but they were still excited as they now knew that their new homeroom teacher was a blonde hottie that only appeared in novels and fairy tales.
"Kyaaaaa!! He is so handsome!" Suddenly, a girl screamed with blushing face.
"Oh my king, please make me your concubine!" Another said.
"Give me your child darling!" Then came another with black framed classes and twin braids resting on each shoulder.
'That girl is wild, I admit.' Austin thought as he looked at the flushed faces of the girls in the class, while the guys at the back, the perverted trio, looked as if they had eaten dog shit and their faces looked green from envy.
"Handsome men must die!" All three of them said in unison but no one spared them a glance as they were busy admiring Austin's looks.
But secretly, Austin glanced at Issei for a brief moment before sighing while shaking his head slightly.
'What a waste for the Boosted Gear. Well, it's not my problem anyway.' He thought before looking at the fan girls in front of him.
"That's enough, I require your silence." He said with a natural deep voice and an indifferent look making all the girls shut up and look so docile and submissive in front of him for some reason like cute obedient puppies.
"Good. For introductions. I'm your new homeroom teacher for this year and responsible for teaching biology. The name is Austin Moore."
"Let's have a good and fruitful year together."
After that, he started the homeroom class.
During that time, no one dared to speak or sleep in his class, they were paying attention with their brain working full power, except the trio in the back who didn't look at all concerned with the class, but a cold look from Austin made them act obediently and pay attention.
Time passed quickly with the homeroom ending and then came the next class before the lunch break.
At that time, the rumors about Austin spread in all of Kouh making the girls excited to catch a glimpse of him.
Of course, these rumors reached the third year students, especially the two queens of the academy, Rias Gremory and Himejima Akeno.
Both girls looked at each other before they headed to the student council room.
.....
Inside the student council room, Rias and Sona were sitting opposite to each other on comfortable couches with a coffee table between them and a chess board on its surface. Both their queens were standing behind them as usual.
"You heard of the new teacher, Sona?" Rias said as she made a move on the chess board.
"Of course, he caused quite the stir when he arrived." Sona replied with a strict face as she made her move.
"I think he is a supernatural." Rias said.
"In agree with that."
"Oh, why so?" Rias asked quite confused that Sona agreed with her without asking for evidence as usual.
"The first day he arrived, all the girls who saw him looked entranced as if their minds were under the effect of some strong charming spell, even me and my queen were affected by it if not for using a protective spell at the last moment." Sona said making her queen who was standing behind her blush a little as she could vividly remember it. Such a shame.
Rias who heard it looked surprised as Sona was someone so serious and always had a strong will and mentality for any cham spell to affect her mind, her queen was understandable as she didn't train her mentality to fight mind controlling spells.
But Sona was different, since she was young, she trained hard both body and mind, to get stronger to be able to make her own choices without any enforcement from the noble society and her family, especially her father.
"At that time after he left, I felt the mana around behaving differently than usual." Sona said as she looked at the chess board remembering how the mana moved and behaved around him.
"In what way?" Rias asked, confused.
"Well, how should I put it? It felt like the mana was happy being in his presence? Like meeting your father or lover after a long time." She tried to describe the feeling as best as she could as she herself was confused.
Since birth, she had a high sensitivity to demonic energy and mana by extension, she could feel it and communicate with it in ways no one could, that's why she was hailed as the prodigy of the Stiri Household.
"That make things different. An enigma decided to come to our territory, but for what reason?" Rias said her eyes flickering to crimson for moment.
Then silence filled the room, each one with their own thoughts.
