A red teleportation magic circle of the house Gremory appers in a luxurious room. From the middle of the circle appear a beautiful red haired girl and a hansome blond boy.
"Ara, Rias you are finally here."
She looks at the boy and says,"Is this the surviving boy with the sacred gear. It seems now he is your servent."
"Yes Akeno. He was the one my mother told me about."
"So what did you reincarnate him as?".
"Knight and had to use both pieces to reicarnate him because only one wasn't enough."
"Ohhh." Hearing what Rias said Akeno looks at Izaiah with intrigue.
While Rias and Akeno were convesing Izaiah was star struck by Akeno's beauty the whole time.
'Damn are all women this beautiful or are heroines the exception? They aren't even wearing any makeup.'
"Hello there I am Akeno Himejima nice meeting you".
"Ahh Hel-llo. I-I am Izaiah".He replies stuttering and flusterd.
"Araa, he is quite cute isn't he".
'Fuck! This is so embarrassing. You need to act more mature Izaiah. You cannot be getting flustered like this.'
Should I create a skill to solve this problem?Nahh.. making skills for every problem I face just makes me incompetent and who's to say that my original abilities are permanent. If for some reason they just disappear I will just be a good for nothing that can't do a single thing without them.
So I should only make skills when I really need them and make skills that will assist me to reach my goals faster not to reach them instantly.
"Here take these clothes go to the room just left to mine and take a bath. Dinner will be brought to you shortly but remember tomorrow you will be having dinner with the rest of the family. So prepare yourself for that. Now go."
I take the clothes and just nod before leaving.
"He is a shy one isn't he" says Rias.

I lay in the king size bed after taking a bath and wearing the new clothes. I am 13 so I have 4 years untill the plot starts. I need to prepare myself for that because the world of highschool DxD is not a safe one.
I have all the skills I need to be potentially as strong as the balance breaker Issei and more. Now I just need to put in the work and be patient. But just being strong cannot elevate you to the top of the world. You need to have good connections and influence.
As an introvert who is bad at communication and socially awkward how the hell am I going to make connections and gather influence. I do have the opportunity as I am one of the important characters and will be around other strong and influential people but how do I grasp those opportunities.
Well it's actually very simple. I need to just do it. Yes, actively communicating with people and learning from my faliures and mishaps is the rightway to do things. I should try to network myself instead of making a skill for it or else it will be no fun and I plan to thoroughly enjoy this life in this world.
As I formulate my plans for the future I slowly drift to sleep.

I eat the breakfast the maid brought me. It was delicious to say the least. Now I should head to Rias's room as the maid said.
Knock knock
"Come in".
Rias smiles at me and says,"It time to teach you some basic knowledge come and sit opposite to me Isaiah."
I sit as she told me to and look at the two beautiful flowers sitting opposite to me.
'Okay! Just say it Isaiah. It's just a simple greeting.'
"Good morning Rias-sama and Akeno-san."
'I hope they don't mind me using there first names'
Rias and Akeno look at each other mildly surprised and greet me with smile.
"Good morning Isaiah/Isaiah-kun".
"I am surprised that you know japanese honorifics Isaiah-kun".
'What's that supposed to mean. Wait fuck!!! just because they are from anime doesn't mean they are japanese. Well Akeno is japanese but most devil aren't'.
'You dumb ass how could you forget that we are speaking in English.'
"I don't mind it really. Language you speak is not any problem to me. Akeno can you bring us some tea before we start his lesson."
'I need to fix this mess and redeem myself!!!.'
"Let me help you Akeno-san."
"Ara. Thank you Isaiah kun."
Ship.
"Now let's start with Devil's hierarchy. There are five of them. Low class devils, mid class devils, high class devil, ultimate class devils and satans. I and Akeno are currently mid class devils and you are a low class devil. The class of the devil is not determined by there status but by their strength. The satans are the....

For the rest of day I listened to Rias and Akeno talk about basic stuff about the supernatural society which I was already somewhat familiar with. Nevertheless I listened to them attentively as I didn't know all the nuances.
I was able to absorb all the information pretty easily so it wasn't any problem for me. The reason for that is
'Status'.
Strength:5
Agility:10
Stamina:5
Intelligence:20
Luck:99
Average Devil Stat Value:10
Max:100
Also because of thought acceleration and parallel thinking. My overall cognitive abilities have been booseted a lot. I have become more creative, imaginative and also a fast learner.
Now I need to prepare for the dinner with Rias's parents and sister in law. Her brother won't be here since he is the Lucifer and a very busy man.
