Chapter 8 - I'm so pent up right now

Previously in Hallowed Blade


"This night, we will make an assault on the church! Everyone, get ready for combat!"

"Wow..."


Here I am watching Ise fighting Raynare in the church from my little tree.

Let me recapitulate what happened since this afternoon in the best way I can.

Previously in ORC Quest.

Our pervert Ise has embarked on a journey to avenge Sakuya his brother that took a hit for him from the Fallen Angel Raynare.

Accompanying him are the nudist Rias, the sadist Akeno, the bishounen Kiba and the loli Koneko.

Will they be able to avenge his brother and finally kill their enemy.

That's what happened until now.

And so I followed them as they invaded the church.

I'm a bit far from them, but hey, as long as I can see what's going on. It's okay with me but well, It happens almost the same as in the anime.

On the way, they got ambushed by three Fallen Angels, I don't remember their names but by their appearances. Let's just call them the Gothic Lolita, the fedora man, and the blue-haired woman.

Rias and Akeno decided to stay behind to take care of them and let's say that it was quickly settled.

A quick shot of Rias's Power of Destruction did the trick and they disappeared from this world.

They were extras so it's understandable they were taken in a single hit.

Now, with Ise and the two others. They were fighting against Freed Sellzen. The fight was like in canon and it ended with Freed running away.

Well, he couldn't win against Kiba's speed and his sword. There is also the fact that Ise and Koneko were here too so it was a good idea to escape.

The three of them walked down the altar's hidden stairs. Since they were in the basement, I could not see them without entering the church.

But a few moments later, our three devils came back with Ise who was wounded. Raynare also came out from the basement.

I can not hear what they say but I will describe what I see in a very simple way.

Fallen Angel Raynare wants to fight.

Ise summons Twice Critical.

Fallen Angel Raynare use Taunt.

Ise uses Boost.

Ise uses Punch but Raynare dodge it.

Fallen Angel Raynare use Spear of Light and Ise is hit.

It's super effective.

Ise is in critical condition.

Fallen Angel Raynare use Taunt and Ise screamed loud enough for me to hear.

"Do you really think I will let you kill my brother!"

Ise uses Explosion. Twice Critical has evolved into Booster Gear.

"Blow away, you shitty Angel!"

"Damn you! Low-class Devil!"

"Ah!"

Ise uses Mega Punch and Raynare is hit.

It's super effective. Critical hit.

Fallen Angel Raynare fainted and Ise won.

And it seems that Ise avenged me. I can't help but to be proud of him. Feeling that it's over, I decided to go home before Ise comes back.

While I think about it, I didn't know how Ise would have evolved his Twice Critical into the Boosted Gear without Asia's death. Well, he managed to evolve it so everything is good.


The next morning when I saw Ise eating is breakfast, he asked me if I'm alright.

I just answered that I had a headache but that was from hitting my head on a lamppost. My answer somewhat relieved him.

Looking at the calendar, I saw that I still have 6 days of vacation before I go back to the Vatican.

They still didn't give me any missions yet and I'm bored. After 9 years of continuous training and fighting, this is the first time in my life that I can't stand being on vacation.

Sighing, I went back to my room to watch anime. I can use some imaginations for my Sacred Gear.


Three days later in the morning, imagine my reaction when I saw Rias riding Ise. Of course, she was on his back, Ise was doing push-ups.

"Good morning Ise, Gremory-san." I decided to start a conversation with the two.

"Yo." "Good morning, Sakuya-kun but please call me Rias."

"Okay, Rias-san." I said making her smiling.

"What are you two doing?" I pointed at Ise even if I know why he's doing this.

"He said he wanted to be more stronger so I'm training him."

"I see. Then good luck, Ise." He started to whine.

"Can you two stop speaking to each other as if I wasn't here, it doesn't help that Buchou's training program is hard."

"Ise, wasn't it you who wanted to become stronger?"

"Yes, but..." Sighing, I placed my hand on his shoulder making him stop and he looked at me, with Rias looking at me with curiosity.

"Ise, I'll tell you a universal truth that applies everywhere. A well-trained body is better than a skinny body." I looked more specifically at his body and he started to blush.

"You know that a well-trained body will give you more stamina, you'll be more popular with girls and with more stamina, you know what you can do?" he shook his head and I whispered in his ear knowing that Rias would hear what I'm going to say thanks to their improved hearing.

"You'll last longer in bed." At this, Ise and Rias's eyes widen at this.

"Alright, time to get serious!" And like this, Ise continued his pushup with more vigor. All he need now its to scream about youthfulness.

Smirking at what I did, I noticed Rias staring at me with wide eyes.

"He's a pervert, there is no better way to motivate him." When I said that, she blinked a few times before nodding at me.

Mom is not awake yet so maybe I should make breakfast for everyone.

"Rias-san, do you want to join us for breakfast?"

"Yes, I will join. Ah, I will do it since you invite me for breakfast." Well, it looks like I do not need to cook. I wonder what's on TV this morning. I hope there is anime. Ah, there is Gundam.


"It's Rias who made the breakfast, thank you very much." "Yes, it looks appetizing." My parents, when they woke up, saw the breakfast prepared by Rias.

It looks like a typical Japanese breakfast. Rice, mackerel, tamagoyaki, some vegetables, and miso soup.

"""""Itadakimasu""""". I took a piece of mackerel and tasted it. It's pretty good.

"It's delicious, you cook pretty well, Rias." It looks like Mom and Dad are on the same opinion.

"No, I'm not at your level yet. Okaa-sama."

"Don't be modest, be proud of yourself. If you can cook that well, you'll be an excellent wife."

At Dad's comment, her face becomes somewhat sad.

"... Wife, huh." It seems that only Ise and I noticed that. Oh yeah, there is that Phenex guy. Well, it's not like I can do anything except wishing them good luck.

Well, I think I should go back to the Vatican. I can't stand like that without doing anything.

I need action. Even training with Xenovia suits me. Yes, I'll go back tomorrow.

And this is how I decided to go back to the Vatican the next day but for now, I was in the mood for some Kuoh Fried Chicken.


You know, I curse my luck sometimes. Damn my F-rank Luck.

In front of me is Grayfia Lucifuge in her maid outfit.

Right now, we're in my room. Why is she here? I'll tell you. It happened a few minutes ago.


- A few minutes ago -

Here I am on my bed playing at Final Fantasy on my phone. I hate my luck with gacha. I must have E-rank Luck or something.

Then I felt someone teleport into Ise's room, which was next to mine. I took a glass I had nearby and I put it on the wall to listen to what they say.

"Buchou?" So it was Rias that teleported. Wait, don't tell me...

"Make love to me."

"I want you to take my virginity. Immediately." You know, it's something when you just listen without seeing what happened in this room.

Rias tried to make Ise take her virginity but even if he's a pervert, he won't take the initiative since he's a cherry boy.

But then, I felt another person teleported inside the room. It was Grayfia, Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer.

Even if we aren't in the same room, I can feel her power.

"Please forgive me for today with this. I troubled you a lot. Let's meet again in the clubroom tomorrow."

"Also, Ojou-sama. Please go first, I have something to take care of first."

"I see." Rias's presence disappeared, she must have teleported away.

And at this moment behind me, a magic circle appeared and from it, The Strongest Queen made her entrance.

But with the fact that I was stuck on the wall listening to what they said with a glass next to my ear and how she looked at me like she saw a child doing something bad. It was embarrassing.

For a few second which were like a few hours for me, we stared at each other and it was awkward so I did the first move.

"Hi?" I squeaked.


- Return to the present -

"It has been a long time, young man. While your power is sealed, I could feel your presence. Please tell me, what are you doing here?"

"It's my home and I'm on vacation. It's not like I can do anything as my power are sealed." We stared at each other for a moment. It's not like I lied. I can't use magic. Then she sighed.

"To think they are brothers. But maybe it is fate..." She murmured to herself but I heard what she said.

"Young man, may I request something to you?" I nodded at her.

"As you are an exorcist, do you have any holy objects on you?"

"Yes, I have a cross and some bottles of holy water." She nodded at what I said.

"May you give them to me? I am in need these objects to ... subject a certain Devil." I nodded and searched in my suitcase for a sacred cross and bottles of holy water.

These are objects that we are obliged to wear on us as an exorcist. I put them in my suitcase just by habit.

"Inside the box is the cross and in this one, there are three bottles of holy water inside." I presented her two boxes which she took them.

"Thank you. You have the gratitude of the House of Gremory and my master, Sirzechs Lucifer." She bowed to me she teleported away.

I blinked a few times before thinking about what happened.

Oh yeah, she wants to use them on the Phenex guy. Thinking it was for that reason, I felled asleep.


- In the Underworld -

"I see, so the apprentice of Dulio Gesualdo is the brother of Rias's new pawn."

"Yes, Sirzechs-sama. When I asked him if he could give me those holy objects, he gave them to me."

Grayfia showed him the two boxes with the object inside them. The two of them are trying to help Rias with her arranged marriage and they are talking about the presence of our exorcist in Rias's territory.

"Grayfia, did he tell you why he was in Kuoh?"

"He told me he was on vacation. He didn't seem to lie and he had seals on his body." For a moment, Sirzechs started to pout at the mention of 'vacation' but the stare of Grayfia made him stop immediately.

"I see, does Rias knows about that?"

"No, she only knows that he is her pawn's brother."

"Did he had some bad intent toward Rias? Because of Diodora's actions, I don't know if he thinks that all Devils are the same..."

"No, he didn't felt once a bad intent from the young man. He was only listening to what happened from his room.

From the way she talks about him, she seems to have a good opinion about him. What should we do?"

"Nothing. I will give him my thanks the next time we meet and he didn't do anything bad.

The relations between the Church and the Devil Faction is bad enough and I think he didn't want to complicate the situation so he stayed low-profile." Sirzechs resonated with a smile on his face.

"Understood then I will leave for tonight." Grayfia left the room leaving Sirzechs alone.

"I don't know why but I feel that the peace between the Three Factions will come soon." He mumbles for himself as he looked at the artificial moon in the sky.


The next morning, I prepared myself to go back to the Vatican, I already told my parents that I will be going sooner than expected.

They were a little sad but when I said that I may come back later with some friends, they calmed down.

But when I saw Ise this morning, he was lost in his thoughts, he must be thinking about what happened last night. Being the nice big brother that I am, I decided to cheer him up as his birthday present.

I offered him to accompany him until Kuoh Academy before going to the airport.

As we walked, Ise was silent. Sighing, I started to say what I wanted to tell him.

"Ise, I don't know why you want to become stronger and why you are thinking so hard right now but I will tell only one thing.

Just trust on what you believe, on what you desire. Just focus on why you want to become stronger. That's all." Ise seems to ponder over my words before smiling.

"You know you just told me more than one thing." To answer that, I kicked his ass. I'm nice enough to cheer you up so don't test me.

"Well, I'm going so good luck with your problem." I said before giving a slap on his back.

I did my job as a big brother so now, it's time to go back and before I forgot, I have to buy some mochi.


On my return to the Vatican, I was greeted with a hug from Jeanne and Asia. I feel bad for them but I need to have some actions so I went to Griselda if she didn't have a mission.

"No." She refused.

"Why? Don't you have something for me to do?"

"In the first place, you should be on vacation."

"Yeah, but it was boring. I couldn't train without gaining attention from the Devil. My magic was sealed and they weren't any missions.

Please, Sister Griselda. I'm so pent up right now. I need to release all the frustrations I accumulated during this vacation so please, give me a mission."

With a sigh, she started to browse over the missions available.

"I have no choice. Here at this place, there are fallen angels who occupy the church of this city." She said as she handed the details of the mission.

"Do I have permission to go at full power?" I asked her which she nodded with exasperation.

I had stars in my eyes and I knew it. When she unlocks all my seals, I headed to the place of my mission.


Jeanne POV

Since Sa-chan returned, he was acting strangely.

When we greeted him, the first thing he did was run to see Griselda if she had a mission for him and he just said hello on the way.

I thought that with his vacation, he would be more relaxed but it looks like it did the opposite.

I decided to accompany him for his mission as I worried about him.

But here he is singing music, something he has never done before.

"Bakuretsu~ Bakuretsu~ La La La~" This is the only line of his song.

"Sa-chan?" He looked at me with a big smile. Are you that happy to go to a mission?

"What is that song about?"

"That song was once sung by an Arch-Wizard that could create an explosion at the size of a nuclear bomb once per day.

It symbolizes the fact that the Arch Wizard wanted to create the most beautiful explosion of her life. Explosion is both her life and her joy." … What …

"We're here." Just like he said, we reached the town.

According to the report, the church is in the forest next to the town.

After a few minutes, we found it. We are quite far from the city enough so there aren't witnesses.

We could feel the presence of multiples Fallen Angels, our targets.

"We do like always, we go in and screw everything with swords?" I said summoning Excalibur Blessing.

"No." When I heard that, I looked at Sa-chan just to see that he was smiling like a child in front of a candy shop.

"Then, what is the plan..." As I was speaking, Sa-chan started to cast one of his spells and judging by the power he's emitting. It's not good.

"I stand in the place bathed in heavenly light, thou art where the gate to the Underworld opens, come forth, divine lightning!"

As Sa-chan chanted, several magic circles appeared enveloping the church and some appeared in the sky just above it.

"Hum, Sa-chan?" He had a Cheshire smile on his face. Electricity began to gather in the last magic circle.

"This is the end!"

I quickly hid behind Sa-chan not wanting to be caught in the spell.

"Indignation!"

And like this, a massive bolt of lightning was summoned and destroyed the church and everything inside.

There was only a crater where the church was.

"Ahh... it feels so good..." Sa-chan looked so happy right now but I had other things in mind.

"You blew up everything! You overdid it!" I screamed at him and then he looked at me.

"Tehe!" I slapped him.


Sakuya POV

"Sakuya-san, are you alright?!" Asia said worriedly as I had a red mark on my face, Jeanne's hand mark.

It seems that I got too excited but thanks to Jeanne, I managed to calm myself.

"I'm fine, Asia. Just my cheek hurt." When I said that, she started to heal it. What a sweet girl. I couldn't help but to think that while having my eyes closed.

"Um, Sakuya-san..." When she said my name meekly, I opened my eyes to see that I was petting her head.

"Ah, sorry I did it unconsciously..." "No, it's fine. I don't hate it..." Please don't look at me like that while blushing. It's unfair.

"But Sa-chan, you were acting really strange before. What happened during your break?"

"I was cursed by my own luck." It only confused the two girls. While I think about it, I didn't see the two others since I came back.

"Are Xenovia and Irina in a mission?" They nodded at my question. *GROWL* How embarrassing.

"Can we go eat something, It's been a while I didn't eat." The last time I ate was the food on the plane.

Well, everybody knows that the food there is not so good, just edible.

They agreed on this and we went to the church's cafeteria.

When we were eating, Asia asked us a question.

"Sakuya-san, Onee-chan. Do you think I can go with you on missions?" We blinked and looked at each other.

""No."" When we answered, she became sad.

"But, I want to help you all."

"But A-chan, you don't know how to fight aside from healing and you are too nice I can't imagine you hurt someone." At Jeanne's comment, her expression became more crestfallen. Then I had an idea.

"Asia, how about learning magic?" I got the attention of the two girls and I started to explain.

"Asia, with magic, you will be able to create barriers so you can protect yourself and people and you will be able to fight alongside us." The hope in her eyes started to brighten.

"Then, if I learn magic. Will I be able to fight with you?" I nodded at her making her smile while Jeanne was looking gloomy. She took my sleeve under the table.

"Why?" was all she said.

"Jeanne, you can't always be babying her like that. You don't know what will happen in the future and we won't be always with her if she stays like that. It was also by chance that we came back before that Devil tried to make Asia excommunicated from the Church.

She has to learn how to defend herself if she wants to help us. And if she is with us, we will be at her side instead of having her waiting for us at the Vatican.

It's better to have her learn how to fight." Once I explained why I wanted Asia to learn magic, she started to have a conflicted expression but I know she understood my point. It's not like I can't understand her.

Asia is a nice girl that is capable to love everyone unless that you are a sociopath. It doesn't help that she looks so frail that she can be killed with a single touch.

But I won't deny her wish. Not while knowing what will happen in the future.

I know already I changed many things just by existing and the actions I took those 9 years.

Jeanne is still in the church with us so she didn't end up in the Hero Faction.

Asia is still with us but because of that, Rias won't get her second Bishop. I wonder how she will manage that.

I wonder who will heal Ise if they didn't win their Rating Game. Rias should be preparing for her ceremony. Koneko, I don't think she would. Kiba ... it's too soon. It must be Akeno. Well, I can only wish them luck.

Diodora is dead which is good for the world so he won't appear against Rias's peerage in the Young Devils Gathering.

While I remember vaguely of canon events from the anime. I am already sure that it will not go in the same direction.

All I can do it to act now to dodge against the worst that will happen.

"Don't worry, we will protect Asia. That's a promise." I said while taking her hand in mine and she nodded.

"But for now, let's finish eating. We will teach you what we know and if Sister Griselda is available, she can teach you some spells."

"Yes!"

"Can we really teach her magic? You know I don't really use magic unless to store object." She whispered at me so Asia can't hear her.

"What are you talking about? You can teach that to her and I'll teach what I know." She deadpanned at me.

"You know only Strengthening magic and Elemental Magic, no, I shouldn't call that Elemental when you can only use Lightning and Light Magic."

"At least, she will be able to boost her body and attack. Sister Griselda can teach her how to make barriers."

"Please don't teach her your most destructive spell, I don't want to see Asia casting Indignation like you did." Somehow, it tempts me. I want to try to cast Indignation together with Asia.

The three girls don't really want to learn magic so I felt a little alone in this department.

"Don't worry, I'll teach her the basic." If she can learn magic, Asia will become a good team member.

She protects, she attacks, she heals but most importantly ... she will boost the morale of our team with her cuteness.

And this is how we decided to train Asia to become the mascot of our team.


A/N: And that was the eighth chapter of Hallowed Blade.

I wanna say thank you all for the reviews and a great thank you again to Darklord331 for beta reading my chapter.

And now, I will try to answer to the review.

GGPD: For the Sacred Gear, I had an idea like that but at the level of a Longinus. We will see.

Honestly, the power scaling in DxD is quite something but we will see for the OC. I don't plan for a Gary-Sue or I try not.

Velzon: Thank you.

Mnorsyafiq92: Thank you. She may be most of the time the Big Sister of her peerage but she has her cute moment.

LMaltez: Honestly, it's mostly for the plot and the vacation came from a good intention from his angel guardian.

It won't be relaxing of course, it's like getting a child who passes his time on the internet and has to go to the countryside for two weeks without anything related to the internet.

Sometimes, even actions that come from a good intention can give more harm than good and in this case, frustration.

Mrsiri: While Sakuya isn't arrogant like Gilgamesh, there is some quotes that can be used so watch out for future chapters.

Morregen: Thank you.

Lio4567892012: Thank you.

Guest: Thank you.

The Last Kenpachi: And it was at this moment Jeanne became Jeanne Alter. Let's burn that little shit! La Grondement du Haine!

TacoTues13: I'll take everything on order.

Not really, well it can seem forced. But without sealing his power, he will get attention from Rias and Sona which the Church doesn't want that to happen.

Since he trained his magic, he will have more magical power than normal humans.

He has a large amount of holy energy in him which is something Devils are aware of since it is their natural weakness.

And normally, you won't let your warriors take a vacation. They were kind of ordered by you know who to give him vacation so the seals were the Church's last resort.

The only magic Sakuya learned is Strengthening Magic ( buff ), Elemental Magic ( Light and Lightning ) and Storage Magic ( inventory ).

He never learned Sealing Magic so he can't take them off and certainly not reapply them. You can see the different types of magic in the Magician page of the wiki.

The relation between the Church and the Devil are bad. They may not be killed on sight but he will be under surveillance the whole time if he introduced himself as an exorcist in vacation. In the first place, he was supposed to be undercover.

Only Ajuka, Sirzechs, and Grayfia know that he is an exorcist because of Diodora's case and his real identity.

In the case of Irina and Xenovia, there were in a mission of the greatest importance. The fact that Excalibur was stolen had nothing to do with the Devils except that Kokabiel set his base in Kuoh, Rias and Sona's territory.

They also had to confirm themselves that they didn't have anything to do with Kokabiel and if they aren't, they have to make sure that they won't aid him.

Honestly, Xenovia and Irina being rude is normal, they grew up with the teaching that Devils and Heretics equal Evil. Xenovia, in particular, because of her own personality.

He may have grown up in Kuoh but only for 8 years. The Devils King would be suspicious of Sakuya if he were to come like that with his power not sealed.

Even with just his physical abilities and Sacred Gear, he is stronger than Rias's peerage so it's was a minor nerf.

I'm sorry if the chapter falls slat for you.
