Summary
When Rias walks to school with him, she bids him goodbye at the gate and promises to return for him later. During the school day after Issei's usual class ends, Issei is visited by second-year student Yuuto Kiba (nicknamed the "Handsome Prince"), who came to escort Issei to the Occult Research Club. In the clubroom, Issei meets two other members of the club, third-year schoolgirl Akeno Himejima and first-year schoolgirl Koneko Toujou. Reintroducing herself as the president of the Occult Research Club comprised of the three devils, Rias explains to Issei about the Great War between the Three Factions comprised of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. Rias then proceeds to explain the function of the Sacred Gear as a high-powered mechanical attachment and heroic ability, though not developed in him yet. She also reveals that Yuuma, who he once dated before, was a Fallen Angel that was sent to kill him as she explains to Issei the trappings of Devil society and her lower Elite-level clan the Gremorys.

As Rias and Akeno expected, Issei does not have the magical power to teleport to a summoner's location via the magical pentagram with Issei's inscription. After finishing distributing the pamphlets given to him by Rias, Issei is forced by the other devils to travel on foot to his first summoner, who is revealed to be a cross-dressing male cosplayer who requests to be turned into a "magical girl". When he fails the request, Issei is forced to watch hours of anime with him. Issei goes to the park to worry about his failed summons when suddenly, a nun (Asia Argento) bumps into a rock in front of Issei's bench, falling over.
