Before you all read this chapter, I have few things I need to say.
1) I'm surprised that people have noticed that I got the Ki Modification idea from the Human Modification in Rosario Vampire, but none of you noticed that Issei's new appearance is similar to Tsukune Aono's appearance after his modification too. (except for his eyes, which Aono's are light blue/purple while Issei's are sapphire blue/emerald green eyes)
2) Sorry I should've updated this chapter weeks ago, but my flash drive was destroyed and it had my only copy, but the rewrite was a lot better than I expected to be.
Life 10: Battlefield in Kyoto
"So you're the Hakuryuukou of this generation."
"Yes I am."
"You're also the descendant of Lucifer too. You must be the strongest Hakuryuukou in history, present, and future."
"If there really is such a thing as fate and miracles, I'm maybe that. —Just joking."
"So did you come to join my organization, Hakuryuukou?"
"It seems promising. But I came to give you something. Here it is..."
"Wait, that's..."
A Few Days Ago...
I, Rias Gremory, waited eagerly in my seat on the bullet train like a little child waiting to open their Christmas present.
"Ara, Rias, I've never seen you this eager before." my queen, Akeno Himejima giggled in amusement.
"Well of course I am." I respond passionately. "It's very important moment for a Japanese Lover like me to visit the sacred land, Kyoto, that I admire so much."
"If you were yearning to go to Kyoto so much why don't we just teleport there ourselves?"
I made a distasteful look on my face. " I won't do something tasteless like that. It's the Kyoto I long for, so I wanted to walk around with my own feet and feel the breeze with my own skin."
"You really that passionate about Japan, don't ya?" Akeno smiled amused.
Yes, I really do love living in Japan. I experience many great things in the country that I couldn't have in the Underworld. I would gracefully give my thanks to my Onii-sama's knight, Souji Okita, for telling about this great land.
"Huh?" I asked aimlessly while I was giving my gratitude to Souji Okita. Within a small pouch that was in my skirt pocket, I can sense my good luck "charms" reacting unexpectedly. I took the pouch out and opened it.
Inside the pouch were eight small chess pieces. They were all the same type of piece. They were all pawn pieces. Yes they were my unique Pawn Evil Pieces that all of them have been assigned to the same person.
It's been two years since the incident when they began to spark uncontrollably in my room and set my bed on fire. After the incident I gave them back to Beelzebub-sama to see if there were a problem with them. So far he hasn't found anything wrong with them and returned them to me.
Now after two years of nothing, they spontaneously began to react with a red glow. I've seen my pawn pieces glow before, so its nothing special to me. However, I sense something unusual about them. It's as if they are responding to something. Per chance, is there a possibility that the person who's going to become my future pawn is going to be there? Be in Kyoto?
Third Person POV
Within in the Backstreet mansion of Kyoto, there was a basement which has a boxing ring. That boxing ring was currently being occupied by none other than Issei Hyoudou, the Sekiryuutei of this generation, and Sairaorg Bael, the current heir of Bael clan and possessor of the Regulus Nemea, where they're sparing.
Midway into the sparing, Ise stopped as he had a uncontrollable desire to sneeze.
"A-A-Achoo!" Ise sneezed loudly in the ring. He sniffed through his stuffed noise before rubbing it with his boxing glove.
"Is there someone thinking of me?" Ise wondered.
"Never let your eye wonder off in a middle of a fight!" Sairaorg bawled seriously, delivering the a powerful uppercut that send Ise flying out of the ring and through the ceiling of the mansion and crashing out in the mansion's flower garden.
Present Time
1st Person POV
It's been two years since my Ki Modification and obtaining the power of the Hakuryuukou. I, Issei Hyoudou, am currently within the white world of the Boosted Gear. A lot of things happened within the two years and have been pretty difficult. When I want to be somewhere tranquil, the white world within the Boost Gear is one of places where I go to take my mind off of things.
The white world has been pretty quiet and lonely ever since my Senpais sacrificed themselves to save me. This would have been completely empty if it weren't for the two chairs and the one table in this world. Ddraig told me that there supposed to be only one chair that was meant just for me, although there are two of them here. I haven't figure it out yet why there is a second chair here.
And speaking of Ddraig, the poor dragon has been sleeping a lot. My partner rarely wakes up. And when he does, he only stays awake for a few minutes before heading back to sleep. Continue to rest my dear partner, you have nothing to worry out. I'm doing fine so just rest.
I sat down on my seat and summoned a magic circle on the table. The magic circle that I summoned was a recorded message that I found within the Boosted Gear after Ddraig slept. I played the message and a hologram of many familiar faces I know appeared.
[There is a breast-loving Dragon living in the edge of a certain country
The Dragon goes for a walk when the weather is good
DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI DRAGON
GROPE-GROPE SUCK-SUCK PAFU-PAFU
There are so many types of breasts
But he likes the big ones the best
The Oppai Dragon also flies today
In an edge of a certain town, the Oppai Dragon was laughing
Even on a stormy day, the Oppai Dragon becomes happy by pressing breasts
DRAGON DRAGON OPPAI DRAGON
CLICK-CLICK ZOOM-ZOOM IYAAAN
He has seen lots of breasts, but he likes big ones the best
The Oppai Dragon also pushes today!]
Yeah I don't know how, but after Ddraig feel a sleep I was able to find this recorded song that was sang by my Senpais within the Boosted Gear. Despite being a taboo for Ddraig and I, I find it rather soothing. Listening to song remind mes why I'm going through this hellish torture that everyone in the mansion is calling as training.
[Ise-sama! It's time to wake up. Ise-sama...] A voice from the outside world is trying to call me.
Looks like someone from the outside world needs me. I closed my eyes and send my conscious back to reality.
I opened my eyes back to reality. The first thing I saw were a beautiful crimson colour eyes staring directly at my heterochromia sapphire blue and emerald-green eyes. I soon realize that the owner of these lovely innocent crimson eyes were facing above me, who is laying down on my futon.
"Oh hey Valerie." I greeted her casually as if it was nothing. I wasn't perplex or startled by how close a beautiful girl like Valerie was. "Do you need anything?"
Valerie backed away from my face and got back up on her feet. "Yeah, you promised to accompany me with some shopping around town today after your training yesterday." she reminded me with a bright smile on her face.
"Oh yeah I did." I yawned, lifting my upper body up from the ground and stretching my arms out. "Is it the two of us or is someone else tagging along?"
Valerie shook her head to the side. "Sadly Kunou-chan has her daily lessons, and Vali-sama, Bikou-san, Ophis-chan, and the "tramp" aren't nowhere to be found."
I slightly smile awkwardly and had a single drop of sweat down my forehead. "Hey, hey, Kuroka isn't that bad; is she?"
As you can tell Valerie and Kuroka have an antagonistic relationship ever since the day Kuroka made a full recovery from her surgery to remove her evil pieces two years ago. She easily refers to Kuroka as a "tramp" without any remorse what so ever. I don't blame her either. Ever since I brought her to Kyoto, this naughty kitty has been causing nothing but trouble for the rest of us by playing pranks on us and not taking things seriously.
And Valerie still hasn't forgave Kuroka for humiliating her and Yumi with Senjutsuu in front of everyone. Yumi also has a negative view of Kuroka due to her easy-going personality and causing trouble for everyone, though she does recognize her abilities and having potential in her skills.
And speaking of Yumi...
"Has she come back?" I asked.
Valerie frowned, indicating that Yumi hasn't returned yet.
About two years ago after my modification, Yumi was sent away to go to a special training, which Valerie or I don't know where it is or what she's training in. The young archer does comeback time to time to check how everyone, besides Kuroka, was doing and put our worries at ease, yet she doesn't say anything about what she's training in or where it is. The only ones who does know about this is Yasaka-san and Azazel-sensei, but they refuse to say anything about it.
"Give me a minute." I said before sighing. "Let me get change."
"I understand." Valerie bowed before leaving my bedroom.
I got up from my futon and opened the side closet in my bedroom that has all my clothes, including my black hooded cloak and utility belt that I use for my "special" missions.
I took off the training gi that I had on and put on a red t shirt with an open brown jacket on top, a pair of black jeans, and a pair white tennis shoes. I went to my desk to find my wallet.
"Where did I place that stupid thing?" I asked, opening one of my drawers. Inside that drawer was three special objects. There were the Ring of Dispel that I was given by Ophis years ago, the golden pocket watch that was given to me by Father Time, and the red crimson heart shape stone that I obtained from the white realm in the Boosted Gear.
I picked up the pocket watch and stared at it.
"Keep it with you. I set a countdown on it when "reconnection" will happen."
Reconnection... What will happen when the time comes? Can we handle the situation properly and get the curse remove so I can confess my feelings to Rias?
I put the watch into one of my jean's pockets and picked put the Ring of Dispel.
The ring that once belong to the famous knight of Camelot is now in my possession. During the two year period, I discovered many interesting things about the ring that I never knew about. The power to dispel any enchantment that will only affect its wielder in a negative way. For example I won't be under the effect of any illusion type spells, or be entranced by a succubus or the song of a siren. I can even get myself out of a magic barrier or remove curses placed on myself. Plus there is hiding the presence of magic/demonic energy of oneself by using the ring to nullifying it along with its wielder's presence.
So far I have only mastered hiding the presence of my magic and Sacred Gears by nullifying their power ability with the ring. I still haven't mastered getting myself out of the trance or getting myself out of a magic barrier or even removing a curse. During this time, I discovered the many pros of this ring, I also found the cons as well.
Since I haven't mastered the other departments of the ring, I found out its power wasn't absolute. If I'm under the spell of something, the ring will only protect me temporarily, and same goes for curses too. If I tried to remove a curse like the one Father has place on me, it will only last for a couple of seconds. So far I could only say "Rias, I lov..." from using the Ring of Dispel.
Another con about the ring is that if I remove a curse like the one Father gave me, I have to keep the ring on at all times, if i don't I'll stay cursed till I remove it with another method.
The ring can't be use as a shield directly against offensive magic. Nevertheless I can still use the ring to counter offensive magic by using its nullifying ability on others. I'm currently thinking of a way that I can use the power of the ring to nullify the magic/demonic powers those around me. Hopefully I can think of one and hope to pull it off successfully.
And lastly the power of Senjutsuu doesn't apply to the Ring of Dispel. Since Senjutsuu involves around the control of flow of life, the ring can't detect that power and the ring itself could be affected by the power of Senjutsuu.
I put the Ring of Dispel back into the drawer before closing it. I no longer need to carry around with me since I'm not trying to master its power right now and I already know a spell to hide away the presence of my power.
"Ise-sama, are you almost done?" I heard Valerie a cross my door.
"Almost!" I told her through my door. There was one more thing I had to do before I leave my bedroom. I turned to my mirror. My body colour is pale, my hair is greyish black, and my eyes are sapphire blue and emerald-green respectively.
Ever since the modification happened to me to two years ago, my body greatly changed into a different appearance. At first I thought it was impossible to revert my body back to its old appearance, but we two ways to do so.
One of the ways if I use a disguise spell. However like the time I gave up my left arm to Ddraig that one time and the others tried to hide its dragon like appearance, the spell automatically disable from my body itself. If I use disguise spell then its effect would only last for a few hours.
Another way I can revert back to my normal appearance is that I get it "drain" like Akeno and Rias did when they "drain" away the energy of the Dragon to get my arm back to normal. The people who remove this appearance are Valerie and Kuroka with their abilities of their race respectively. After I get drained by them, it takes up to a couple of weeks for my new appearance to come back. I usually get this appearance drain whenever I go stay with my parents or temporarily leave Kyoto for a few of days.
Since I'll be accompanying Valerie, I'll be using a disguise spell and seal up most of my powers. A magic circle appeared beneath my legs and I did a small chant. In a matter of seconds my skin tone returned to normal and my greyish black hair turned back to the natural hair colour I was born with. The only problem that I had are with my eyes.
At first I didn't understand why my eyes had different colours. Eventually everyone in Kyoto were able to think of a hypothesis why my eyes were like this. My eyes represent the colour of the Heavenly Dragon Duo. My right eye represent the colour of Albion's sapphire gem colour while my left eye represent Ddraig's emerald gem colour. Also since I inserted the gem of Albion into my right gauntlet, my right eye became the representation of the right gauntlet that became the Dividing Gear. Same goes for Boosted Gear and my left, though for some reason every time I try to drain or disguised my modified appearance, my eyes stay in its heterochromia state. So I put on brown contact lens to conceal them instead.
"Ah here it is." I said after finding my wallet underneath my desk. After retrieving my wallet, I left my room and accompanied Valerie on her shopping trip.
"Delicious~!" Valerie squealed delightfully after eating some tasteful tofu at the tofu hotstop place that Kunou once took me and my friends during my first time to Kyoto. "I have probably eaten this tofu over a thousand times, yet I never get old of eating it."
"I know what you mean." I agreed with her before taking a bite of Tofu myself.
Its been a few hours after we left Kyoto to do some shopping. Valerie needed to buy some material to make home-made Kimonos and Yukatas. She enjoys making them by scratch. She even makes some for me and everyone else in the mansion. She currently wearing her favourite violet Yukata that matches will with the purple gem she's wearing around her neck.
If you look carefully at the gem, you can see it lighting up.
Yes the gem that Valerie carried around with a piece of string on her neck is the soul of Shuri Himejima, the mother of Akeno and the wife of Baraqiel. There's a reasonable explanation why Valerie carries the soul of Shuri Himejima.
It all began when Valerie started to use the power of her Longinus, the Sephiroth Graal. The Sephiroth Graal has the ability to make contact with the principle of life, where Valerie has been forcefully told about how the life and soul is made. Due to the nature of the Sephiroth Graal, Valerie also takes in the mind and the concept of the dead, the living, and various other things as she uses the Holy Grail which resulted in her into a broken state by the abundance of thoughts that enters her heart and soul when overusing the Sephiroth Graal. A side effect of overusing the Sephiroth Graal is she can talk with the dead from the other world.
Sensei thought of an idea of giving the soul of Shuri, who is a spirit stuck inside of a gem due to Ophis sealing her spirit inside of it, to Valerie to help her go through the pain when she contact the principal of life. The plan turned out greater than any of us suspected. Valerie can speak to Shuri without focusing all her energy to communicate with her and act as a liaison for Shuri and the rest of us in the mansion.
Plus I think Valerie enjoys having Shuri with her. I believe they manifest a mother daughter relationship. Valerie did talk about her life trapped in her former family's castle. Her mother died at a very young age so she never knew what its like to have an actual mother figure. I was overjoyed that Valerie and Shuri have a good view of each other, however there was a side effect that Sensei nor I were aware about.
A Year Ago...
It all began when Sairaorg decided to bring his Peerage to the Backstreet of Kyoto after sometime after Yumi left for training and Valerie was given the gem of Shuri Himejima. His peerage began to figure something odd about their master over the last year. Lately the noticed how their master and his only pawn been coming and going from his household and are getting concerned about him.
So Sairaorg decided not to hide about secretly training with me and asked Yasaka-san for passes to give to his Peerage and bring them to Kyoto.
"Allow me to introduce you all to this generation's Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei." Sairaorg greeted me to the rest of his Peerage.
"Um, hi..." I waved hello to his comrades awkwardly. I wasn't aware about this at all. Sairaorg brought them in the last-minute after he told me.
"Are you sure he's this generation's Sekiryuutei?" One of his Rooks asked sceptically, unable to accept the truth. It was Ladora Bune, the one devil who comes from the house of Bune, that's one of the extinct family of the 72 Pillars and has the power to tame Dragons and to transform into one.
"Oh believe me he is." Sairaorg argued calmly. "For the matter of fact he defeated me in my Regulus Rey Leather Rex with power that far greater than the Juggernaut Drive." he added.
! Did Sairaorg really have to confess that to his peerage! All of them had shock expression on their faces. None of them believed the truth that Sairaorg just said.
"Surely you kid?" asked his queen, Kuisha Abaddon, in disbelief.
Sairaorg nods head to the side. "Do you think I would kid about something like this?" Sairaorg questioned with a serious tone in his voice. "You may not believe that this man is the Sekiryuutei due to the fact that the spirit within his Sacred Gear entered a deep sleep."
"Was this immediately after your fight with him?" One of his knights, Liban Crocell, the knight who posses a Sacred Gear called Gravity Jail, which allow him to control gravity in his sight.
"No, no. It happen a few weeks after our fight." Sairaorg explained. "If you want to pry over this, then allow Hyoudou Issei to explain?"
"Well I don't mind explaining." I respond, scratching the back of my head. "Where do I begin?"
I was able to explain most things to everyone to some extent. Sairaorg was able to convince the rest about my background story and agreed to help me to train in return of making contracts with people of Kyoto. Yasaka-san and Sensei agreed to those condition in return of aiding Kyoto's Youkai Faction in time of need and collecting data on Regulus Nemea.
After we got the situation subdued, we began our training. We entered an artificial space that similar to those of a Rating Game. One day we divided into groups. One group was me, and Sairaorg's two knights, Liban Crocell and Beruka Furcas in sword training. The second group was Sairaorg and his two rooks, Ladora Bune and Gandoma Balam in pure muscle training. And for our final group was Valerie, Sairaorg's queen, Kuisha Abaddon, and his two bishops, Coriana Andrealphus and Misteeta Sabnock in wizardry training.
Regulus wasn't training with us. Instead he was doing is own personal training against one of Slash Dog's Longinus, Canis Lykaon, Jin. The first time they seen each other, they had a fierce rivalry like typical cats and dogs. Slash Dog, who is one of my mentors, decided to test Regulus with Jin personally.
But that isn't important right now. Where was I? Oh yeah Valerie!
It all happened with Valerie, who already in possession with Shuri's soul, training with Kuisha Abaddon, and Sairaorg's two Bishops. I was middle in training with the two knights of Sairaorg with my Ascalon and the Excalibur Nightmare in dual wielding when it happened.
"HHHHIIIIYYYEEEE!" a high pitched voice screeched came from where Valerie and the others are training at.
The two knights and I hastily ran towards their direction where Valerie and the others are. There we see Ladora, in his dragon form, down on the ground with Valerie oddly enough smile as if she was enjoying it. The two bishops, who were hiding behind a cairn, hugging each other in fear along with Kuisha, who also hiding behind the same cairn with the bishops.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Ladora apologized cowardly, cupping his hand over his head and covering his face with his elbows.
"Ufufufu, I hope you learn your lesson." Valerie said with a ruthless smile and a familiar sadistic look in her eyes as a familiar purple gem, which being hold around by a piece string around Valerie's neck, began to glow. She had a whip made of magic and I look down at Ladora's back with whip marks that was clearly made with magic. "Now what are you apologizing for?" Valerie asked, whipping poor Ladora in a familiar manner.
The way she whips that magic rope! She's like Akeno when she was whipping her father back in the Grigori institution after the Rating Game match with Sairaorg. I shivered when I thought back to the negative view I had of Baraqiel. Geez this isn't the time to think about it.
I rushed over to Valerie and put my hands on her shoulder. "Valerie, what happened?"
Valerie blink for a second before she had that pure, innocent look in her eyes. "Huh? What happened?" she asked puzzled.
We weren't aware but when Valerie blinked back to her normal self, the light that was glowing within the gem faded away.
What happen was that Ladora accidentally provoked Valerie about her performance in magic and everyone else were terrible magic instructors. Valerie got offended by it and used the Sephiroth Graal to weaken Ladora's strength. When she used the Grail, Valerie's personality completely changed. Instead of being in a broken state, we discovered that she end up in a sadistic state.
We later figured out that having the gem with Valerie for so long could actually have had an effect on Valerie's personality over time. I wasn't affected to the gem since I didn't carry it around. We tried to take the gem away from Valerie before she inherit the Himejima's sadistic trait that been pass down to mother to daughter. But since Valerie became emotional attached to Shuri's soul, she protested against it and promise to contain her new sadistic side.
"What's wrong Ise-sama?" Valerie asked, noticing that I was being absent minded..
"Nothing important." I sighed.
There was no way I was going to tell her what I was thinking. If she I told her the truth, she'll become upset and that's the last thing I don't want to see.
"I was thinking of something as well." Valerie revealed too. "I would love to eat this delicious tofu with Gasper around. I'm sure he would loving eating here if there weren't many people around."
"Valerie..." I muttered her name. She haven't seen her best friend for over two years now after I rescued her. I did promise her that I'll take her where Gasper is. She been worried sick about him all this time.
"I also want Yumi here too... with her brother of course." Valerie added with a force smile. "I also want Okaa-san here too with her family... Heck, I even want Kuroka and his little sister here too... And I also want Ise-sama with the woman who he loves to be here too. I want everyone who been friends with Ise-sama and Gasper for so long here eating tofu with me."
Valerie... You truly have a pure heart. I place a hand on top of her free hand and gave it a light squeeze.
"Don't worry Valerie." I assured her confidently. "After I go back to my old home and settle things down with Rias and the others, we could all come to Kyoto and eat here for your birthday."
Valerie's face become blank before turning completely red. She pulled her arm away turned her face toward the window.
"My, isn't weather just lovely today?" She asked spontaneously.
? I wonder what's wrong with Valerie. Is she getting sick or something?
While I was thinking over Valerie's health, I carelessly gazed over the exit, where two familiar girls walked in wearing school uniforms that I recognized.
"Oh this isn't where the national kendo tournament is being held!" a brunette with long hair tied in twin tail complained.
"This isn't right." a girl with short length pink hair panicked when she looked at a tour guide map. "Did we made a bad turn or something?"
Those girls... I know them! Those girls are Murayama and Katase from the Kuoh Academy's Girl's Kendo team that I use to peek at them changing with Matsuda and Motohama in my past life! But why are these two girls here in Kyoto? Shouldn't they be freshman!?
They both turned to my direction and flinched in surprised. They quickly rushed over towards table where Valerie and I sat in.
"Um, excuse me." Murayama spoke reluctantly as if she was nervous to speak to us. "Are you, per chance, Hyoudou Issei?"
"Yeah..." I replied awkwardly.
Reason why I'm responding like this was because I had a bad history with them in my past life. I use to peek at them change their clothes back then in my past life and they usually catch me in the act with my use to be best friends Matsuda and Motohama. The three of us make a break of it after we were caught, but it ended up with either just me getting a beating, or them, or all three of us getting beaten to death by these two girls and the girl's kendo team.
These girls initially resent me in my past life, yet for reason they acting completely shy in front of me right now. But why? Don't tell me that they're fifth!
"M-M-May we h-have an autograph?" Katase stuttered nervously while pulling out a pen and mini notebook from her purse in front of me.
"Huh?" I asked completely flabbergasted. I never though in a million years that these girls will ask me, the pervert who peeked on them multiple times, for my autograph!
"We r-r-read an article on you!" Murayama explained nervously. "I-It was on a sports magazine that Katase and m-me read occasionally."
Article? Sports Magazine? When did I-oh wait! Now I remembered!
It happen a month ago when I competed in a national martial art tournament that involve all types of fighting styles from Karate, Judo, and Jujitsu to simple street fighting.
I won the junior championship and was interviewed by a reporter. I never thought that these girls would actually read it.
"Sure I don't mind." I said with a sweat drop and laughed weakly. I took the pen and notebook and wrote my signature. "Forgive me, but I overheard that you guys are lost. Per chance, did you need help?"
"Oh! Are you per chance resident of Kyoto?" Katase asked.
I nodded. "I've been living this peaceful town for the last few years."
"So you can help where the national kendo tournament is being place then?" Murayama asked. "Supposedly the tournament is supposed to be held in..." Murayama told the location of where the tournament. "... But we got lost and ended up here."
"Oh I know where it is." I said. "All you have to do is..." I told her where the tournament is being held.
"Ah thank you!" Katase smiled cheerfully.
"Now we can head to the tournament!" Murayama said. "Let's go Katase! The captain and the couch aren't going to be happy if we don't show up in the competition."
"Oh isn't the 2nd years of our school here too?" Katase asked as both she and Murayama head for the exit. "I hope Rias-senpai comes and see our match!"
"Oh I doubt it." Murayama said sceptically. "It's the last day for the 2nd years. They are returning back to Kuoh Academy tonight."
! Before I had a chance to speak to them, both girls walked out.
"Well that was rude of them' they didn't say "thank you"." Valerie said offended, obviously unaware what Murayama or Katase just said. In a matter of seconds, the young Dhampir noticed something wrong with me.
"Ise-sama? Are you alright?" she asked concerned.
"She's here..." I murmured.
"Who's here?"
"The woman who I love is here..." I answered. "The woman who the master of Akeno and Gasper... is here... and so is Akeno... too..."
I, Rias Gremory, sighed in disappoint along while walking towards Kyoto station with my best friend, who's also my queen piece, Akeno Himejima.
"Ara, what's wrong Rias?" Akeno asked innocently with her usual cheerful smile, pretending to be clueless on my reason of feeling gloomy. "I thought you'd be happy that we visit your precious Kyoto."
"I am happy that I finally visited Kyoto." I told her. "But..."
"But what?"
"But there are only a limited number of places you can visit within three days and four nights."
"Ufufufu, I told you we should have planned a head for this trip." Akeno giggled at my dismay. "Because of that we lost the time to go to the Nijou-jou which we were planning to see last."
"Mou, don't remind me!" I pouted my cheeks and stomped my foot on the ground like an upset child.
*Bump Bump*
Those depressing feelings I just had suddenly disappeared with great apprehension.
My Evil Pieces... My pawns... they're beginning to react differently now.
The pouch from the skirt pocket came out on its own. All eight of my pawns popped out from the pouch and flew off south of town.
Akeno and I became utterly speechless on what occurred.
"Um... Rias..." Akeno said, trailing off when she doesn't know what to said to me. "Should we... follow it?"
"Yes..." I nodded weakly. "We need to catch them before the train... leaves us..."
Just great... First I don't have time to go see the lovely Nijou-jou temple and now my own Pawn pieces are running away from me. What else could possible go wrong?
"To think this would happen to us." Valerie said with a bitter smile when we're were surrounded by a mysterious group of people in alleyway.
It all happened after we paid our bill and left the hotstop restaurant. After I explained to Valerie that Rias, the woman that I love and the master of Akeno, the daughter of Shuri, and Gasper, Valerie's first friend and family, is here in Kyoto with Akeno, she insisted going to visit Rias and get an impression of her.
But there was a problem on the way.
When we walked out the restaurant, we quickly picked up suspicious auras following us. They were auras of pure human, but they also posses Sacred Gears. We couldn't ignore it and decided to head towards the abandoned alleyways where we could confront these Sacred Gear users ourself.
"So you were able to detect our presence." said one of the Sacred Gear users with a disgusting smile on his face. "Impressive for a martial artist like yourself. What kind of training did you have to sense us? Or did that blood sucking freak tell you?"
"Don't you dare call her that." I snarled threateningly, positioning myself in combat stance.
"You really think you have a chance with people like us?" the same Sacred Gear User smirked arrogantly. "Do you know who we are?"
"Let me guess; you're from the Hero Faction of the Khaos Brigade." I guessed correctly.
The speaker of the group put on a quizzical look on his face after hearing my answer. "Yes, but how... No never mind. This make things simpler."
His became calm and composer soon after. "Issei Hyoudou, we, the Hero Faction, would want you to join us."
! They want me to join the Hero Faction! But why? And how did these creeps find out about my name?
"Why should I?" I asked warily.
"Our leader, Cao Cao, has one main objective in his beloved Hero Faction and that is to push the limits of mankind itself." The speaker explained.
"And? What does it have to do with me?" I questioned him.
"We heard you won a famous tournament last summer." The speaker said, slowly taking something out from his jacket. It was a sports magazine and on the cover was... me! I'm on the cover of a sports magazine! This is so cool! I never realized the fame I'm getting from that article.
"When Cao Cao saw this magazine of you, he became obsess with you." the speaker explained casually.
"Geez, don't say that like that!" I exclaimed sourly. "So you want me to come to the Hero Faction because your leader has an obsession with me?"
"That's about right." The speaker nodded. "Cao Cao would love to have you also the commander of the unarmed division of the Hero Faction."
Cao Cao want to give me the role of commander?
"Forgive me but I rather not join you terrorist." I refused politely. "I know what kind of people you are!"
"Is that so?" the speaker asked sarcastically.
"Yeah I know the main members of the Hero Faction are descendant of the Hero Faction." I told him. " there are also a large number of Sacred Gear wielders who were abducted and brainwashed. Many of these members, however, were sacrificed in battle during the Hero Faction's attempts to force them to achieve Balance Breaker. All those who didn't reach Balance Breaker were eventually captured and later died as a result of Ophis' snakes destroying their Sacred Gears, while those who did achieve Balance Breaker were called back before they could be caught."
"Your very knowledgeable about us." the speaker pointed out. "But how does someone like you know so much about us?"
The gang began to approach us slowly.
"Meh, it doesn't matter any more." the speaker shrugged. "Since you don't want to join us the easy way, looks like we need to do this the hard away."
Crap! They all are summoning their sacred gears at once! Ddraig is still asleep so going balance breaker won't work! I could use the Senjutsuu techniques that I learned from the First Gen. and the others, but I don't have enough time to transfer my Chi and perform a technique. There also my "Trump Card" but this isn't the appropriate time to use it. Oh no, they all are attacking at once!
Flash!
In a blink of an eye, Valerie and I were completely unharmed and all of the Sacred Gear users that were going to attack us were all down on the ground. And I know the reason to it too.
The both of us were underneath the protection of a triangular pyramid made of crimson light. But where did this pyramid come from?
Fling!
A noise of a archer's bow's string was strung nearby. Valerie and I looked up in the sky and saw over a hundred of holy swords raining down toward our direction. The Hero Faction members who were on the ground were able to evade in time before the tip of the swords made contact to the ground.
"Ise-sama... these holy swords are inferior to the ones you have." Valerie whispered to my ear quietly. "These swords came from a Sacred Gear."
"Yeah and these came out from the sky." I acknowledged. "There was one person I know who can use this technique."
The crimson light of the pyramid barrier began to fade. The barrier cease to exist and eight small objects began to surround me.
"What are those..." I muttered quietly when I tried to take a closer look at the eight small objects.
"Look out!" Valerie shouted, shoving me to the side when an Hero Faction member charged directly at me.
"Valerie, I need you to fog up the place!" I requested loudly when I looked at her.
"Alright." Valerie understood my command by bobbing her head. Valerie waved her hands and began to speak in a Vampiric language. Soon the temperature began to drop and the surroundings was covered up a a thick fog. The only thing that I can see visible was the eight small objects that were glowing around me, exposing my location to my enemies.
"There he is!" one of the Hero Faction goons pointed out loudly.
Sigh... the only way I'm going to getaway from this is fighting then. Looks like I'm going to test out my new techniques that I training for the last few years.
I quickly undo the spell that sealed away my powers and true form. My hair turned greyish-black, my skin turned pale, I took off my contacts to expose my glowing heterochromia sapphire blue and emerald green eyes, and my aura changed drastically.
"Where is this pressure coming from?" one of the other members asked frightened.
"Don't tell me that guy is Sacred Gear user too!" another exclaimed.
I had a small smile on my face as I gathered a nice amount of Chi into my left hand. The Chi that I gathered into my left hand forged into a neon blue magic circle with Yin Yang insignia in the centre. I waited patiently till a couple of the members of the Hero Faction come and attack straight up. I sense three members around me beginning to charge at me, and I quickly slammed my left hand straight into the members around me. The members of the Hero Faction were wall pushed back by a powerful backlash that was created from the magic circle that hit the ground.
When I began my Senjutsuu training, the First Gen. told me that I was going to learn only three Senjutsuu offensive techniques, which aren't perverted ones, for me to defend myself. This technique I just used was an melee range anti air Senjutsuu technique called Bakuryuujin (Explosive Lapris Circle ). This technique allow me to releases explosive power as I smash my fist into the ground, sending a shock wave with great speed and force through the air, pushing back enemies.
Depending amount of Chi I put into that technique, I could also destroy the insides of a living person and kill him or her. Fortunately I didn't apply much Chi into my left hand. The three that were sent back flying from my Bakuryuujin were unconscious.
"What was that!?" one of the Hero Factions gasped, properly the one who witnessed my Senjutsuu technique. "That couldn't be magic; could it?"
I leaped backward to give myself more distance from the other members. I gathered more Chi into my left hand. All the Chi that I gathered into my left hand began to morph into an orb of the size of a beach ball. This is the my second Senjutsuu technique I was taught by the First Gen. and the other two users. It's an energy orb that I used for long range distance. It's like a Rasengan technique from a ninja manga Ophis likes to read. Though I can't remember the name of the manga.
I position myself as a baseball player who is prepare to pitch and threw it.
"Oh no you don't!" the enemy created a magic circle right in front of him. That magic circle is acting like a shield for him against magic spells. I couldn't help but to grin suspiciously when the energy orb was centimetres away from making contact wit the magic circle.
"Ggguuaah!" The user of the shield of a magic circle was sent flying after the energy easily went through the magic circle like a ghost.
What happened was that the energy orb was created from pure energy and not magic. It's nothing complicated. Too bad the poor bastard didn't know that was coming to it.
"Snipers! What the hell happen to the snipers? I can't get hold of them!" One of the other members speak to a small magic circle next to their ear. It was a communication circle. Snipers? There were more Hero Faction members here in Kyoto than I thought they will be.
"V-V-Vampire!" there was screams within the thick fog. In the direction where a small purple light can only be vaguely seen, I could only hear the screams of horror.
"Is that all?" Valerie asked in a sensual, yet dark tone.
I couldn't do anything but gawk when I saw Valerie using a magical whip to scourge her enemies around, enjoying very moment of it. Sigh... I should have taken the gem away from Valerie before her sadistic personality developed any further.
[Boost!]
That sound! I recognize that sound anywhere! That's the sound of someone doubling their power! That means someone posses the power of Twice Critical! I turned where the user of the Hand of the Dragon was. There within the mist was the speaker of the group was. He was doubling his power to face me.
Looks like its time for me to counter-attack with an ace of my own. I put my right arm out and concentrated all of my thoughts on my Sacred Gear.
"Come forth to me! Sacred Gear!" I chanted.
A white light soon the gather around my right arm. It took form of a tiny western dragon. The light began to solidified and turned into a real life white dragon.
"Rhwar!" the little white dragon on my arm roared out cutely.
"Sacred Gear!" the owner of the Twice Critical gasped. "So your a Sacred User like the rest of us then!"
"That's right." I admitted nonchalantly. "Now are we here to fight or what?"
The Twice Critical user and I clash into combat with pure martial arts. I have to admit, this guy is good when it comes to hand to hand combat. He was able to block most of my attacks, but I effortlessly dodged most of his without having the little white dragon on my right arm getting hurt.
We both perform a powerful round house kick before leaping backwards, making a nice distance between us.
"You're not bad." the Twice Critical user remarked with an conceited smirk on his face.
[Explosion!]
"Hehehe..." I began to chuckle suspiciously.
"What are you laughing at?" the Twice Critical user asked dubiously, thinking that I have no hope against him.
"You fell right into my trap." I replied as the small wings of the white dragon around my right arm began to spread out and white aura began to surround the Twice Critical user and I.
[Divide!]
Alright even I found it a bit uncanny the way the cute little dragon to have a voice of a deep grown adult.
"W-What the...!?" The Twice Critical user fell on his knees and looked as if half his strength was taken. "Shit...! Why do I feel so weak! What did you do you bastard!"
"I simply divided your strength." I explained as I felt a surge of power enter my body. "And gave the other half to me."
"Shit! I need to escape!" The Twice Critical user chided. "Cao Cao needs to know about you!"
A magic circle appeared beneath underneath the feet of the Twice Critical user. That bastard is going to escape! I need to stop him before he heads back to the Hero Faction, but I won't make it in time.
"Ha! Just wait till Cao Cao and the core members come! You're finished!" the Twice Critical user smirked arrogantly.
Shit! I won't make it! If those guys come, then-no I don't want to imagine what they will do to me! I need to stop him!
"In the name of the Excalibur Ruler, shall the teleportation circle be nullified." a voice came from behind ordered. As if by command the magic circle disappeared into thin air.
"What the?" the Twice Critical user panicked. "Where's the magic circle?"
"Now the user of the Twice Critical, follow my bidding." the same voice ordered.
The Twice Critical user winced and his expression drastically changed into emotionless expression. "Yes, my majesty." the Twice Critical user went down on his knee and bowed.
"Looks like we made it time." A voice of a young girl came in the same direction from the older male voice who posses a sword that only one person should have.
"Valerie, remove the fog now!" I pleaded hastily.
"Yes!" Valerie understood my command and the fog quickly faded away and the there two recognizable people I knew in my past life.
"No way! You're Arthur and Le Fay!" I gasped in surprised.
I, Rias Gremory, and Akeno searched very where for my Pawns pieces. Unfortunately we had no luck in finding them. And the worst part that train is about to leave soon.
"Forgive me Rias, but we need to leave." Akeno informed me. "We need to head back to the Kyoto station, and soon. I hate to say this, but we won't be able to find them in time."
"You think I already don't know that?" I sighed in defeat. There no way we could find them before the train leaves for home. I need to call Onii-sama and Beelzebub-sama about this and hope they locate them.
"Arthur... and Le Fay... Pendragon..." I gaped in shock.
"It's good to see you again Hyoudou Issei," Arthur greeted me with my name. "You've changed over the years."
"Oh this must the effect of the Ki Modification that Vali-sama told us about!" Le Fay clapped her hand together excitedly. "Ah its good to see you again Issei-sama."
"Ise-sama," Valerie, who grabbed my left wrist from behind, whispered into my left arm. "Do you know these people?"
I nodded. "Of course I know them. These are Arthur Pendragon, and his little sister Le Fay."
"Pendragon? You mean from the Arthurian tales?" Valerie asked loudly.
"The one and only." Arthur said, looking in a different direction. "Also Hyoudou Issei, can you get your friend over here?"
"My friend?" I asked confusedly. I looked at the direction where Arthur is staring at.
From top of the roof of an abandon building stood a figure covered in all black. The figure was staring directly at us, but to be more specific the figure was eyeing me. I waved at the figure and gesture it to come over. Within the blink in the eye the figure disappeared from the rooftop after I beckoned it.
"You call me; my master?" a voice from behind asked, that caused me to flinched in surprise.
"Huh? That voice." I turned around to see a masked ninja in all black kneeling in front of me. The ninja female and the voice was something very familiar. "Yumi...?"
The ninja took off her mask to reveal a face a beautiful bishoujo with long shiny blonde hair and blue eyes. The young girl looked up to me with most emotional smile that I've seen as of now.
"Yes my Ise-sama." the ninja assured me. "It is I, Yumi. I have came back to your side."
"That girl... she looks like..."
"The Holy Demonic Swordsman, Yuuto Kiba."
I turned back to where Le Fay and Arthur, who don't look surprised to see Yumi at all.
"Is she also from the Holy Sword Project?" Le Fay asked. "Our clan got word that the Sekiryuutei went in and stole an Excalibur Fragment and rescued a survivor."
"That's right." I assured Le Fay. "And with the help of everyone, Yumi now can wield holy swords."
"Did you use the power of the orb that contains the Light attribute?" Arthur asked.
"No I didn't." Yumi responded to Arthur's question. She smiled nostalgically before continuing. "I was able to become a holy sword user without it. It's actually a pretty interesting story."
"Well we have to save that story for later." a new voice said. "For now let's head back to the mansion and continue to talk there."
We all turned around to see... Vali! And he's isn't alone either! He was with Ophis too! But not just one Ophis! But two of them! But how!?
"So these last two years you've trained to become ninja then?" I asked Yumi to clarify on what she was doing for the last two years.
"Yes Ise-sama." Yumi confessed earnestly with a nod. "I wanted to train other ways I could use my Blade Blacksmith. I saw a movie about ninja and asked Yasaka-sama and Azazel-sensei if I train myself to be one."
"So it was you who took out the snipers then?" Valerie, who was sitting next to me, asked and Yumi continued to nod.
It's been an hour after the event of the alleyway. With the power of Excalibur Ruler and Valerie's hypnotism abilities, we were able send all the Hero Faction members back with no memory of them able to search for us.
Now most of the members of Team Vali, Valerie, Sensei, Yasaka-san, Kunou, Azazel-sensei, the Ophis twins and I were sitting in the living room, discussing about Yumi's special training.
"I couldn't handle the guilt of not telling my Ise-sama the truth." Yumi explained with teary eyes and a tissue to wipe them out. "So I decided to confess the truth to my beloved master and when I discovered that you were being chased I decided to help within the shadows."
"I see..." I said awkwardly as a drop of sweat came down my forehead as Yumi had a bright, determined look on her face, looking straight at me. Now I turned my attention to Pendragon siblings.
"So both of you remembered your past lives then?" I asked them.
"Yes." Arthur answered calmly, drinking a cup of tea. "We remembered our past lives a few years ago. If weren't sure how we regain our memories of our past lives if I didn't reunite with Vali back in the Khaos Brigade HQ."
"But for the both of you to remember your past lives... It was same scenario for Yasaka-san, Kunou, Sairaorg, Nemea Regulus, the First-Gen, Bikou, and Kuroka." I pointed out. "But is there a clarification for all this?"
"Um... I think I have a proper explanation for this." Le Fay spoke up softly with her right raised up.
"You do?" Yasaka-san asked. "Well we're all ears. Please enlighten us with your words."
"Oh, um, okay." Le Fay said before clearing her voice and clasping her hands. "Well it all happened two years ago when my parents, Onii-sama, and I went to Japan. My parents had very important business to do in Japan and my brother and I accidentally got separated with them..."
"Are we lost?" I, Le Fay, asked my Onii-sama worrisome.
"I won't lie to you, so yes." My Onii-sama replied earnest. "We should go to the police station since we don't know where the hotel is at."
"We could go via magic circle." I suggested.
"We can't." Onii-sama disapproved my idea with no hesitation at all. "There to many people here. It's best just to wait at the police station."
"Okay Onii-sama." I said without having the urge to protest against him.
So Onii-sama and left to go find the nearest Police Station and wait there. On the way to the station, I saw it.
"Huh?" I asked when something seize my attention. I was staring at electronics store window where it television was place, broadcasting a certain television show that was I somewhat familiar with, albeit it was the first time actually seeing it.
"Le Fay?" My Onii-sama asked, noticing that I was a world of my own.
"Ahhh..." I began to groan in pain. I place my hand on my head and feel down on one knee. My head... Something wrong with my head...
"Le Fay!" Arthur, who usually a man who doesn't show much emotion, panicked worriedly. He grabbed on to my hand and then it happened.
"The headaches?" I, Issei Hyoudou, asked her.
"Yes." Le Fay nodded.
"Then after Arthur and I regain our memories and wondered what exactly happened. Soon we eventually heard word about the Sekiryuutei and the Holy Sword Institution, the Sekiryuutei spotted in Romania and the death of Kuroka." Arthur spoke up. "We eventually found Vali and the other members and told us what exactly happened."
"But that still haven't explain why most you all remember your past lives." Yumi pointed out.
"No... I think it does." Sensei claimed while he realized something important. "It was possible for both Arthur and Le Fay to remembered their past lives because the contact they had."
"Contact?" I asked with head tilt.
Sensei nodded. "Skin contact to be exact. Since Arthur grabbed on to Le Fay, who was about to regain her past life, in time when the headache happen, then he was able to remember his past life too."
! That actually explains a lot. It explain how Kunou, Nemea Regulus, Sairaorg, and Yasaka-san all remembered me. But something bothered me.
"But what about Vali and the Senjutsuu users?" I brought a question. I remembered back that Vali was in a full nelson by a group of punks in my old town and that doesn't explain how the Senjutsuu users also remembered.
"It would properly be that this effect only works with someone who were close to you." Vali hypothesized the first part of my question. "As for the Senjutsuu users... Sairaorg awakened right when the last needle inserted in you and everyone was engulf by the explosion when the needle touched the heart."
"Yes that could explain it." Sensei acknowledged with his hand under his chin. "As Sairaorg received a headache, the explosion from Ise's heart and needle were also affected from the rebound effect and cause the Senjutsuu users to remember Issei as well."
"Ah!" I said as I remembered something important back when I was with Father Time.
"You overdid the time travelling spell." Father grimace distasteful. "There are more rebound effects you are unaware of."
"Father did mention that there were more rebound effects to the spell that even Ophis wasn't aware of! Could this be one of them?" I asked.
Sensei nodded. "It seem so. This could be an advantage for you Issei."
Huh? What did Sensei mean?
"If you get the other four people to remember you and let Rias touch one of them when they receive the headache, you can easily explain to her about the curse that was place by you by Father Time." Sensei explained.
! I never thought of it that way! If I can find the other four members with Rias... then I won't have to hurt Rias on why I can expression to her so easily! This is very convenient rebound effect indeed. Something crossed my mind as I was thinking of the rebound the effect.
"I win." said Ophis.
"Damn." cussed another Ophis. "You're good."
"I had a lot of practice." Though first Ophis spoke monotonously, I sense the gloat in her tone.
"What about the two Ophis?" I pointed awkwardly while the two Ophis played a board game.
"Oh we reunite Ophis with her other half." Vali explained.
"I already know that, but why the hell are there two of them!?" I asked loudly that you can clearly hear the irritation in my tone.
"Oh we took the other half after she immediately after reuniting her with her other half." Bikou said causally as if it was nothing wrong with that.
"''"YOU TOOK THE LEADER OF A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION JUST LIKE THAT!?"""" Everyone except for Sensei and Team Vali exclaimed.
"Relax," Kuroka said nonchalantly. "One of the Ophis twins will go back to the Khaos Brigade while the other stay here in Kyoto."
"We made sure that both Ophis's power are split evenly between the twins." Vali added. "You keep on to the original Ophis while we keep an eye on the other."
"Well that's good to hear." Sensei yawned. "But we have one more important things to talk about."
Sensei pulled out a pouch from his pocket and opened it. What came out in the pouch were small eight objects. These were the same eight objects that floated around me when I fought the Hero Faction member a couple hours ago. There were...
"Evil Pieces." Sensei said, picking one of them up. "And not any pieces, they're your pieces."
"What?" I asked.
"Look," Sensei said when he picked up for certain pieces in his hand. "These four pieces are mutation pieces."
"Mutation pieces? If I remembered correctly Rias didn't posses any mutation pieces except for a bishop piece that she use on Gasper." I told Sensei.
"She did." Sensei agreed. "But when I talked to Ajuka in my past life, he informed me that normal pieces can evolve into mutation piece. He told me when he witness your Crimson Cardinal Promotion. Three of these piece represent your Illegal Triana and the other one is your true queen form."
He did? Wait he did told me that there are many hidden factors with the Evil Pieces themselves. So this is one of them huh.
"Ah shit! Today was Rias last day here in Kyoto and I missed her!" I shouted after I realized it.
"Well you can return them." Yasaka-san informed. "I got a message from Yondai-Maou about the disappearance of the Evil Pieces and ask us to keep an eye for them when we get a chance."
So I can return my pieces to Rias when I returned to my old town! Yeah I can have her recruit right the stop too!
"Now we settled that, we have one more thing to discuss." Sensei said, putting my Evil Pieces aside and passing to me.
"Oh? What's that?" I asked him.
"The future." Sensei answered solemnly.
Many Months Later...
It's been a over a half a year now since I lost my beloved pawn pieces in Kyoto. The Youkai Faction of Kyoto couldn't find them and these last few months have been a bit terrible. My parents are being forcing me on the future of my Clan with the stupid engagement with the douche bag Raiser. Gasper's power is still uncontrollable and he's not trying at all to control it. And lastly I feel like I missing something more important that aren't my pawn pieces, but I can't find out what.
"Alright class, settle down," the home room teacher said as he entered the classroom. "Today a new student well be joining the class."
Oh a new student? The school year just started last week. We have a large, noisy class and everyone has assign seats. The only available seat left is right next to me. Though I don't have my spirits up for this new student, this the first time in my high school life to experience something like this. All my time in the human world, I never had the enjoyment seeing a new student in my classroom.
"You can come in now." The teacher informed the student, who was properly in the hallway.
We all waited quietly as the new student walked in slowly. He turned around towards everyone in the classroom.
'N-N-No way!' I thought shockingly when I saw face of the new student.
"Hello everyone." the new student greeted the class with a small and quick bow. "My name is Issei Hyoudou."
Man I'm so happy that I was able to finish my First Arc! I'm so happy! XD! Now things are going to get interesting since we are now in the actual Canon part of the story!
Yeah, you guys have finally seen Ise's senjutsuu technique in action! Since I don't want Issei overly OP, I decided that Issei will only learn 3 offensive, non perverted, techniques. Yes I got Bakuryuujin from Rosario Vampire and the Energy Orb from Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero. But there is one more close range range I won't reveal till later in the story. Yes I know that Bakuryuujin from Rosario Vampire can be close combat, but in this story its mid range, though I can make it close range though.
Issei also knows other techniques from Senjutsuu, but its perverted and only works on women (figures.)
Okay originally when I was writing this chapter, I had planned that Issei would fight the Hero Faction members lead by Heracles and Jeanne. During the fight Issei's Evil Pieces come to his aid and he temporary awakened Ddraig's power and entered Balance Breaker and easily defeat him. But when the chapter was gone, I had no choice but to remove it.
The first time also wrote this I also had a lot of flashbacks of Issei training with Sairaorg and the Senjutsuu users, but I'll save it for a Side Chapter if I had the time. Plus I wanted to reveal what abilities Issei's modified body had and the true power of the baby Hakuryuukou dragon had, but I'll save that for the first arc.
Plus when I wrote this I had Kunou accompany Issei and Valerie on their shopping trip and Issei meets Kiyome Abe after leaving the Hotstop restaurant. I also planned Beowulf to come too, but sadly that didn't happen.
Also Yumi is a ninja and Valerie has inherit the Himejima's Sadistic personalty! Yeah I planned that. Why? Because I can! What do you think? A ninja could a useful member of a peerage and I almost forgot about Shuri, so having her mention in the story will be helpful.
Also if you guys want to know how Yumi is able to use Blade Blacksmith and holy swords with the help of the Orb of Light and without Valerie, there will be a flashback about this. Don't worry you'll see a perfect explanation.
Also did you accept how everyone from Team Vali (except for Fenrir) Sairaorg, the First Gen., Regulus, Yasaka-san, and Kunou remembered Issei? So its Ise's job to find the other four members and its Issei job to get the other four to remember their past lives with Rias at least touching one of them so she can regain her past life too! His real challenge is, can he do it?
The Poll on Raynare's life is finally over. Will she live? Or will she die? You have to wait and see.
Also before I go, let me explain how long I'm writing this story.
I'm only working the first three arcs for this story. In the sequel will take place in the beginning of Volume 14th and so forth.
This is what you guys have to look forward to to the next Arc in dialogue form:
"I have gave up my humanity a long time ago."
"Gasper, you have grown."
"Tell me, what are you!?"
"My eye! My eye! You fuck'in took my eye!"
"Why!? Why do you have the Excalibur!?"
"Tell me; what would happen to you if I shot you straight into the head."
"Shall the match begin!"
"You may be a High Class Devil, but I'm a mother fuck'en emperor!"
Next time in High School DxD A Second Chance 2nd Arc: The Reawakening of the Red Emperor Dragon: Life 01: The Heroic Enigma.
Issei: Your world is going to change now that I'm here.
