AN OK so i have received complaints for Issie bashing now that chapter was about Issie getting beat but it wasn't meant to be me bashing him, it was just me starting a rivalry between my character and him, sorry if it seemed like it was meant to only insult him.

Chapter 3 training begins

They had been staring into each others eyes for a while now, neither willing to look away, both lost in the others soul, trapped for eternity never able to break free... they where pulled out of this trance when Rias had Akeno shoot a blast of lightning in between them.

"Now will you to listen to me?"

Both still dazed from the bolt finally coming to terms with what had happened they turn to Rias and both apologies. Issie and the others had all gone back to the school leaving only Rias, Xavier and Xonovier.

"Xenovier is it all right if i talk to Xavier alone for a moment?"

"Yes of course."

As she walks away Rias turns towards Xavier a stern and judging look on her face meaning that what ever she was about to say was important... or she was just pissed.

"Now you've seen his fighting style and sensed his current power. Can you train him?"

Xavier was taken back he hadn't expected this. Sure he was a good fighter outside of his armor and yes he had extensive knowledge of sacred gears but he was far from trainer materiel he got worked up, angry, he could lose concentration and push himself to far. Sure he was able to concentrate on conserving energy better then Issie but surely she would want the best trainers for her servants.

"Sorry but shouldn't you be looking for someone with more experience then me to train him, i mean i'm just a man hunting angles surely there's some training camp in hell."

"There is but he needs training now, it will only be for a week coming up to the rating game and besides you are the most experienced of all of us i can say iv killed 10 possibly 20 fallen angles but you've killed more then 500 of them.
You don't give your self enough credit."

He thought for a few moments, with only 7 days to train him he wont be able to teach him to master the gear but he will be able to get the balance breaker out, that will be the easy part. Training him to wield a weapon and conserve his energy will be harder he will need complete focus no distractions. seven days isn't much but it will have to do.

"Fine but the training area will be of limits to girls i need his head clear of all distractions including you. however getting his cooperation will be harder as men have something against being taught by someone our own age."

"Fine you start tomorrow"

They returned to the school and Rias called Issie out he could be heard yelling about it and this brought a grin to everyone face sure Issie was a good guy but every girl loves seeing a pervert in pain. the rest of the day went on Rias had not yet enrolled Xavier in the school and had no plans to until after the rating game. she spent all of lunch sorting out a way that Issie can have a weak of school eventually she managed to get it of course Issie wasn't happy a whole weak away from the girls and stuck at a training facility with only one man for company, and why did she have to get him to train him. Xavier spent the rest of the day travelling to and setting up the training facility, first he had gone back to his apartment to pick up his armory so that they could find the best weapon for Issie.

The next day

Issie was awoken before sun rise by Rias.

"Get up or you wont get there before noon."

The trip to the training facility didn't take long he got there around 8 o'clock he could already tell this wasn't going to be fun, there where targets set up all around the training facility, a makeshift course had also been set up leading him to think that not only was this going to be a pain but it was going to be painful as well.

"Ah your early i had intended to start your training as soon as you got here but seeing as you are early lets have a drink first."

They walked into the kitchen and Xavier got out two bottles filled with a green liquid.

"I am not drinking that."

"Don't worry it don't taste as bad as it looks, its a special blend of herbs protein and flavorings that center the mind and help concentration and besides i shut of the running water and this is all there is to drink. the human body can only last two days without water before you start having the negative effects."

Issie regrettably took the drink they sat in silence as they drank, Issie avoiding eye contact at all costs but still not shooing weakness.

"OK so here is the routine, for today we will be primarily focusing on getting control of your balance breaker but for the rest of the weak we will be working on hand to hand combat from sun rise till noon, weapon training from noon to sunset then mental exercises from sun set till bed. Understood."

"Yes."

"Now step one of controlling your balance breaker will be to find what triggers it, now bear in mind it will drain you of energy quickly so it will be better to save it for when you are in extreme danger, I don't have enough time to focus your physical condition to stand that much of a drain. Now tell me when has your balance breaker triggered before?"

"During a fight against phoenix but that was because the red dragon gave me the power to do so."

"No you see although the dragon gave you temporary strength to use it it has already figured out what triggers it but something about who you where fighting and why actually made you trigger it, trust me a dragon resides in my gear it is the black breaker dragon or the dragon of rebirth, the first time my breaker emerged i was hunting fallen angles that i believed helped to kill my parents and the dragon lent me its strength in order to sustain the breaker for more then 2 seconds.

"Oh so it was not only he dragon that activated it but me also. But that doesn't explain why it only lasted ten seconds like the dragon said."

"They don't have the power to activate it but they do have the power to deactivate it, he obviously saw that you did not have the physical strength to sustain it."

"Ah"

"Now i have heard of your fight against riser or as you call him Phoenix and that was about saving Rias from an unwanted husband and the fight against me... where you trying to prove that you where stronger then me and impress Rias by any chance? If so then this will not take long."

"Yes i was."

"Then in that case close your eyes. Visualize her, think of nothing else, now focus your energy imagine her in danger and let the emotions that follow flow threw you."

A red light absorbed Issie blinding Xavier this power was imminence even more powerful then his, now only if he could actually control it he would be a force to be feared. the light faded leaving Issie in full scale armor quickly however the armor buckled and Issie was left on his knees gasping for breath, Xavier quickly helped him up.
"As i said you will need more physical training before you can sustain it but it will be a good last resort should you find yourself in a position where you have to use it. That will be all of the gear training that you will receive this weak after you rest a bit we will start on weapons training."

An hour later Issie is back on his feat and led into a room which has a wall full o weapons of all different shapes and sises from knives to crossbows to freaking bazookas.

"We will see which weapons fit your fancy however i advise a range weapon for today as you may find that you lack the physic to wield some of the heavier melee weapons."

He hands Issie a fully loaded rifle, he aims it and fires at the dummy in the center of the room but the recoil proved to much and he missed the target, considering this Xavier hands him a revolver which he also cant seem to hit with seeing that recoil will be a problem to begin with he hands him a fully automatic crossbow, he seems to have less trouble with it.

"As you grow stronger you will be able to use a wider verity of weapons , now bear this in mind the cross bow is a mid ranged weapon and you will have to take the wind into account more then you would a gun and that one was specifically designed by me for me so if you decide to stay on as my apprentice after the rating game then we will see about you making your own weapon that fits you. however this will be a good starting point."

The rest of the day was spent honing his skills with the crossbow he quickly mastered it which Xavier found surprising sure he wasn't perfect but he had six more days to hone his skills and perfect his stance.
