School had been over for a while as club activities were in full swing. Issei was hanging around as he knew when the kendo club was going to end their daily activities. And he was right on schedule as he entered the main hall of their club room as it was empty but he could hear sounds coming from one of the rooms off to the side.
That noise was the key, he walked down the building as he made his way to a door where all the noise was coming from. He pulled on the door handle as it closed the door and knocked on the door in a pattern. There was a loud knock followed by a soft one as it repeated two more times. It was more or less a code for him to let the girls inside know who it was.
Opening the door he was greeted with a wonderful sight of girls standing in front of lockers, some were getting changed as they were putting their uniforms back on and others had towels wrapped around them. Issei was quick to close the door behind him as the girls looked at him "Hello Issei." He heard a variation of friendly greetings towards him.
"Hello, ladies. Has your practice been going well?" Issei walked down between the girls as he got plenty of happy responses from them. Seeing a few girls he tugged on their bra straps as they were stiff. He looked at them "I told you that you need to go up a size."
A few of the girls looked at him as it was weird for a high school student who was more of an expert on bra's than they were. "Are you sure your not gay?" It was an idea that was floating around between all the kendo girls except the two who knew.
Issei laughed at the fact "Most definitely not. There's a group of girls in front of me in their underwear and I'm doing all I can not show off a boner." Issei rubbed the crotch trying to flatten his pants. They all got giggles and laughs out of Issei's expense as Issei pointed over a few rows. "Are Katase and Murayama over there?" Issei knew that they were there but it was best to ask.
Issei made his way over a few rows as he peeked his head over around the locker "Heeeeeeeeey." He saw the pink-haired Katase and Murayama with brown hair with pigtails.
"You have fun flirting with the girls?" Katase asked
Issei sat down between them as he wrapped his arms around them and started groping their breasts through a towel. "Oh don't be like that you know how I am of you two."
"So what brings you here today?" Murayama asked trying to get Issei to the pointed before something happens.
"Would it be so bad if I said I wanted some of you girls?" Issei asked them.
Murayama sighed as she pulled his hand away as she stood up only to partially crouch down in front of Issei before he grabbed her face. Issei pulled her closer as he planted a kiss on her lips swirling his tongue around in her mouth to get her warmed up. When he backed away she knew what was coming next as it was a revolving cycle for them. Murayama got all the way down on the ground as she unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock as it was already stiff to a degree from his earlier escapade. She got to work without hesitation as giving Issei a blowjob that he so desperately enjoyed. It didn't matter if it was Katase or Murayama they were both just as good as they learned equally and Issei didn't favor one over the other, that's when he reached his other hand into Katase's towel and moved his hand down towards her crotch as he started to finger her.
"So what did you…" a moan came from Katase as she was feeling it. "want to talk about."
Rubbing his other hand on Muraymas head telling her she was doing a good job he told them "Your girl idol Rias Gremory wants to talk to you. And I kinda told her that you have sacred gears." Issei was being hushed on the last part as he looked over and saw Katase's face was flush.
"You told us to stay." Katase said as Murayama pulled back "So what changed." She asked real quick as she went back down.
"I didn't want the two of you getting mixed up in her family problems. But those have been dealt with as of recent. And I want the two of you to join her it would be best for your development." Issei tapped on Murayama's head a few times as that was the signal as she soon felt a stream of warm thick liquid flood her mouth as she swallowed it like a champ.
When Murayama pulled away he stood up picking Katase up as her towel fell revealing her toned body as he pushed her into the lockers and rested her legs atop his shoulders. He slid his cock into her with ease as the two girls played with one simple rule whoever sucks first gets to be the finishing act. Issei was plowing away in Katase as she was unable to ask questions as she was preoccupied. "Why should we join her," Murayama asked.
"The world is changing. It wasn't like how it was all those years ago. There are forces of evil out there looking for things and active non-aligned sacred gear users have always been a hot commodity." Issei had no problem talking and fucking a Katase was breaking down as her insides turned from warm to on fire in a matter of moments and it was almost as smooth as silk.
"So why Rias then why not your side?"
"I'm officially neutral. But anybody in the know knows that's bullshit. My side was picked years ago, I work for Gabrial and I'll also for hell and the Shinto. I can't say much something is going to happen and it's going to force people to look the other way for the first time in thousands of years. And I want you two on that side that can protect you."
"Oh fuck." Katase said as her body turned limp as Issei felt a stream of a liquid jet out of her. Issei pulled out of her and picked up her towel to wipe her off as he placed her on the bench to recuperate.
Murayama received the same thing as it was always fair with them as she was pinned to the locker and legs over his shoulder. As Issei thrust into her he rubbed on this one spot "I hate that you can reach that so well." Murayama whispered in his ear.
Katase had recovered enough as she looked over and saw Issei sawing in sawing into Murayama. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"What we do all the time. Nothing is going to happen."
She tried to kick him in the ass but was too far away to reach him "The thing with Rias."
"Oh yeah, there are some things that she will have to discuss with you two regarding responsibilities. But it's the right choice, I'll also be training them so with you two tacked on it should be all sorts of fun." Murayama's eyes had rolled into the back of her head as her body had gone limp. Pulling her away from the lockers he laid her down on the bench and covered her up with the towel. Katase motioned for Issei to come over to her as she immediately leaned down to finish the job that was started.
After Katase had her fill Issei had to change his pants but it was a simple feat as he stored a spare set of clothes that he could reach at any time. Katase and Murayama got dressed reluctantly as time was ticking down. They looked at each other "All right let's go."
They made their way out of the locker room as it had cleared out and back into the kendo hall. Seeing as there was nobody around Issei pointed over to the room next to them as it was the bathroom. "See if it's empty," Issei said as Katase went inside. After a few moments, she came back out "It is." As she Issei walked in as he dragged Murayama behind him. "Shortcut time." A large red magic circle with a dragon in the center appeared on the floor as he pulled the two girls into it "Exhale." When he heard them breathe out the circle collapsed as they were transported away.
They appeared on the other side in a dimly lit hallway on the other side of the school. He heard them breathe in as he knew what was coming next. "That is so weird." Katase said to him as if she was recovering from being shaken too much.
"It's not that bad, we only went from one building to another across the school. Think what would happen if we went to say the other side of the country, or across the ocean to the States."
Murayama looked at him "I'd rather not."
Issei started walking down the hall as they followed him "We could have crossed dimensions." He heard them groan. They passed a few doors along the way until they came across a set of double doors. Issei leaned on the left door frame as he pointed to the doors "This is the room are you ready?"
They looked at each other one last time and nodded as Issei knocked on the door. "Come in." Rias's voice was heard as Issei opened the doors as there was no pillar in the center. When they entered Issei followed behind closing the doors as there were little to no lights on making the club room moderately dark as there was still light from the window.
"I see you brought them." Rias said as waved her hand from behind her desk. "As you well know I am Rias Gremory, and this is my Club the Occult Research club. But as you no doubt had been told that is more of a front." She saw that their subtle movements confirmed her worlds. "Issei has told me that you two hold Sacred Gears, can you show me them?"
The two of them looked back to Issei as he nodded, Katase focused inward as it had been a while since she summoned her gear. In her hands was a Katana in a sheath. The Sheath was made of gold as she pulled the blade out it was metal but it had a gold hue to it that was almost reflective on the base of the blade before the guard there was an etching of a rose in the blade. "Katase has an Elemental Sacred Gear called the [Rose Gleam]."
Rias Akeno and Yumi were flipping through books of Sacred Gears that had many of them listed in the books. "I found it." Akeno called out as she handed the book over to Rias. In the book, Rias saw a picture and a drawing of the blade but it did quite add up. In her book, it wasn't a katana but a rapier with thorns running down the blade.
"Are you sure she has the Rose Gleam?" Rias turned the book around so Issei could see it. "What she has doesn't match up with what we have."
"I'm sure of what this is." Issei pointed to the book "When does the book say it was last seen."
Rias read the description listed in the book as she came to the all-important part. "1723" It dawned on her what was sitting in front of her. "Okay… so what about Murayama?"
Murayama didn't have any trouble summoning her gear a matching katana appeared in her hand this time it was silver instead of gold and where there was a rose on one there was a pair of small dragon wings. "This is another Element Sacred Gear called [Wyvern Strife]."
Rias slammed the book shut hearing that. "I give up." She put the book down as she stood up and moved into the front of her desk as she pointed to the open couch as they sat down. "I take it as much of this side of the world has been explained to you."
"Yes." They both responded.
"Good that saves plenty of time." Out of her back popped out a pair of leathery devil wings. "I am Rias Gremory, heiress to the Gremory family of the 72 pillars." Rias held her hand out "These are my servants Akeno my Queen, Yumi my Knight, Koneko my Rook, and Asia a Bishop." They each waved as their names were called. "And after hearing about your sacred gears I would like for the two of you, to join my peerage."
"What are the downsides." Katase asked beating Murayama to the punch.
"Downsides." Rias thought about it for a moment. "Technically you two would be my servants, but I don't treat people like that, I treat them like family. You do have to do some work making contracts but it's not like your taking people's souls, we stopped that long ago turns out it was bad for business. Also, we don't do sexual contracts."
The two girls whispered in each other's ear discussing what would happen next. "If we join what would we be?"
Rias summoned a box in her hand as she pulled out some chess pieces. "I got a knight a rook and plenty of pawn pieces left." She walked in front of them a waved the knight pieces in front of them seeing if it was reacting. Nothing happened as she frowned as she did the same with the rook. This time the rook lit up as it got near the girls. "That can't be right." She walked around the couch to see if it was Issei and not them.
She waved it at him as it didn't light up. Issei flicked her in the forehead as she rubbed it. "I'm not looking to change species again it was painful enough the first time. That and you cant reincarnate me so don't bother."
Rias rubbed her head as she put the rook away and pulled out and all of her pawn pieces. She doled them out throwing three into each of the girl's laps seeing if they would react. When she tossed the final two the piles lit up and began to float. "Really? Each of you is worth four pawns."
"They eat their Wheaties and work out. What were you expecting?"
Rias shook her head as she thought about if she went through with it she could only have nine total members. "Okay… so would you like to join us and becoming a devil?"
"Yeah, Yes." They responded as the pawns floated up into Rias's hands.
"Come over here." Rias moved over to the open space. "Lay down next to each other." They did as such as Rias laid the pawn pieces on their chest. The pieces began to glow again as a large red magic circle appeared under the two of them. "I Rias Gremory order you. Bind your soul and rejoice as you will be reborn. You shall become my pawns." The pawn pieces sank into their chests as the magic circle disappeared.
The two girls sat up and looked their bodies over "That was painless." Murayama said as Katase looked at Rias "Should I feel any different?"
Rias shook her head "No there is no discomfort at all."
"Must be nice." Issei said giving them some snark as he looked at the two girls as they stood up and move back over to the couch. Everyone chatted for a while getting to know each other better as Issei laid down in his dragon form on the window sill listing to them.
A knock on the door was heard "Come in." Rias said as the doors opened up.
Sona entered the room by herself as she looked at Rias. "We have a slight issue." Sona's words were careful placed as she saw Katase and Murayama.
"Don't worry they just joined us."
Sona made a note of that as she continued " There are two exorcists at the front gates requesting to speak with you now." Issei's fun relaxing window spot was disturbed by that news as he shifted back into human form. Sona looked over at him "What do you know of this?"
"Go get your crystal ball, because you're going to need to call Ms. Cleo. You know as much as I do." Issei was lying through his teeth but if he spelled everything out for them what good would it do.
"What do they want?" Rias tried to get it back on the subject.
Sona pushed her glasses up "They wanted to speak to the ruler of the territory."
"Fine bring them here." Rias watched Sona leave the room to get them as everybody moved things around to make the room presentable.
A few minutes passed as a knock at the door was heard as Rias was sitting down on the one couch with everyone behind her. The door opened up as Sona let them in there were two young women draped with white robes and a standard hood. It was the standard church equipment for hiding things needed for exorcists. As they let down their hoods, there was a blue-haired girl with a green strip carrying a large something on her back wrapped in cloth it was most likely a sword. The other girl was a chestnut girl with twin tails. "Please sit down. So what can I help you with?"
"My name is Irina Shidou." The brown-haired girl said as Issei's right eyebrow twitched hearing that name. "Recently the Holy swords of Excalibur that were being kept in the Vatican Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches have been stolen."
"Excalibur's?" Katase asked "I thought it was a single sword."
"I'm sorry she just became a devil and isn't aware of Excalibur's story." Rias said.
"Excalibur isn't a singular sword anymore." Issei said as he stood up from the window sill and moved over in front of the desk. "After the war, Excalibur was split into seven swords. Don't know if it was God of the bible if he split it to spite anybody who tried to use it after Arthur died or if it was cursed by the lady of the lake to split once Arthur's job was done."
"Iss…...ei" Irina studdered out as Issei waved her off.
"This is Excalibur now." The blue-haired girl lifted her blade as the wrappings fell off the blade revealing a large two-handed blade with a small ax-like handle next to the grip. There was a wave of holy aura that washed over the room, it was nothing for Issei as it wasn't that powerful but it was still holy power for the devils. Chills run down their bodies as Issei watched as Katase and Murayama shivered.
"Excalibur was reforged into seven new blades through alchemy, and this is one of them. I hold Excalibur Destruction, one of the seven swords created. Currently under control of the Catholic Church."
"Then that makes you Xenovia Quarta with the running nickname Violence permitted by God."
The now named Xenovia shot Issei a dirty look "You know her?" Rias asked as Issei shook his head.
"Only by name, nothing more that."
"How do you know of that Issei-Kun?" Irina was cheerful seeing him.
Issei wagged his finger "A lady never… a magician…"
"Your brain stopped didn't it?" Akeno asked Issei as none of those analogies were going to work.
"Yes, it has, rather painfully as well." Issei rubbed his head
"Mine is Excalibur Mimic!" Around her left arm was a wrapping that unravels off her arm as the cloth shifted form into a plain-looking Katana. "It can change its shape into anything I want it to. It makes it so easy for carrying around especially air travel. "
"Irina we don't need to tell these devils about our abilities."
"We have to form a trust relation, even if I tell them my ability I won't lose to them."
Issei looked over to Rias and saw Yumi in the back fuming over something. He made a note to find out what that was all about, but considering the subject matter, it felt obvious. "So what does stolen Excaliburs have to do with Japan? We are in the Land of the Rising Sun, Excalibur tends to be a European issue."
Xenovia spoke up "Each sect of churches were in possession of two swords as the seventh blade has been missing since the war. One Excaliber was stolen from each church and escaped to Japan, specifically this town."
"It seems as if my territory is a hotbed for incidents. So who stole them and brought them here?"
"The holy blades were stolen by the Grigor." Xenovia said shocking everyone aside from Issei.
"Your holy swords were taken by the fallen angel of the Grigor? No mistake, you're 100% sure of this?" Rias had to make sure this was true.
"Somehow I doubt Azazel ordered the blades to be stolen. He already has enough stuff to do." Issei said somewhat unenthused.
"We know the culprit is one of the leaders of the Grigor Kakabiel."
"Ahhhhhh the Star of God or the Angel of the Stars. The Angel who supposedly brought Astrology to humanity in its infancy." Issei mused hearing the name.
"I never expected the name of somebody from the bible to appear in my territory."
"We have sent priests and exorcists to this town in secret but they keep coming up dead." Xenovia said as she continued "Our request…" Xenovia shook her head "No our order is that there will be no devils in our fight with the fallen angels. Don't interfere with this incident."
"Let me get this right, you want me to ignore a threat in my territory and let the two of you roam around as if nothing is wrong? Or is it that you think that we might team up with the fallen and do something to or with Excalibur?" Pride is a fickle thing and Rias wasn't going to be ordered around by some nobodies in the grand scheme of things.
"The higher-ups don't trust devils and fallen. We were ordered to retrieve the swords and we will do that even if you are the little sister of a Maou."
Rias glared at Xenovia "If you know who I am then you must have connections inside of the church authority. In the name of House Gremory, I would never form an alliance with fallen angels to tarnish our family."
"Good enough. Kokabiel is hiding with the three Excaliburs in this town. So if something happens headquarters will hold me liable so I'm not going to ask for your cooperation. But if you were to form a temporary alliance that would tip the balance of the three factions." Issei was getting a mental laugh hearing Xenovia speak as she was clueless about the reality of the world.
"Where is the last sword dispatched currently?"
Xenovia answered Rias "That last person is on standby. They are planning to protect the last Excalibur if Irina and I fail here."
"Just the two of you?" Rias pointed at the two of them "The two of you are going to retrieve three blades from a Fallen angel leader who has seen more combat than all of us combined? Are you dumb or trying to die on purpose?"
"Yes." Irina said as Xenovia backed her up "I have the same view as Irina, but I don't want to die."
"So you hopped on a plane from Italy to Japan prepared to Die? Your beliefs in your teachings are far too extreme as is the norm."
"Do not speak ill of our beliefs Rias Gremory." Irina said as Issei shook his head hearing this.
"The church has decided that it would be best to eliminate all of the excalibers than letting them be used by the fallen angels. Our objective is to take them back at a minimum. If we do that death is acceptable as the only way to fight against Excaliburs is with other Excaliburs."
Rias accepted their stupidity and continued "Is the two of you enough to accomplish your task?"
"We won't die in vain." Xenovia was quick to answer.
"That's not what I asked, so you must have a secret weapon.?"
"Maybe. I'll let you think of that." Xenovai said as they stared at each other.
"I'll bite it ends with the letter L." Issei looked at Xenovia with an almost Cheshire cat grin on his face.
"I think it's best we take our leave, come on Irina." Xenovia stood up as Irina followed. Xenovia glanced over to the group of people behind Rias making sure she saw what she was seeing was correct. Xenovia looked at Asia "Tell me are you the witch, Asia Argento? To see somebody like you in a place like this."
Asia's body trembled when she was called a witch " I ummmmmm." She wasn't able to string a sentence together.
"To be a devil when they called you a Holy maiden. Do you even believe in God?"
"Xenovia, There's no way she could believe in God she's a devil." Irina said as she put her hand on Xenovia.
Xenovia shook her head "No it's there I can smell it radiating off her."
"It's… hard to put aside. I believed my whole life." Asia responded as she had her head down thinking of her past life.
Xenovia lifted her sword and pointed it at her. "Is that so? Then I should cut you down where you stand. Even if you have sinned God will forgive you."
"I think it's best you put that sword down." Issei said to Xenovia as he pointed at her. "You call her a witch yet where were you when she needed help? Where were those around her when she needed things you don't understand." Xenovia was glaring daggers at Issei "Remember it was your organization that propped her up and made her the Holy maiden, and it was your organization that abandoned her when she needed help."
"That matters not. God's love didn't help her because she didn't believe in him or she had a false belief."
"Maybe it's best I send you two back to the Vatican for reeducation. Because it sounds like you missed the whole first part of your special book. I don't live by those codes so if you touch Asia you're going to get your assed kicked."
"Is that a declaration against us or the church? Because that's a big threat coming from a lone devil." Xenovia looked over to Rias. "You didn't educate him well."
Rias sighed "Issei isn't a devil."
"That's perfect." Yumi stepped out from the group and moved over in front of Issei. "I will be your opponent." She was holding onto a sword in her right hand as she was letting out plenty of aura.
"Who are you?"
Yumi simply smirked as demonic swords flooded the room "I'm your elder, apparently I was a failure."
A few minutes later everyone was out behind the clubroom as a red barrier formed over the area. Yumi was standing in front of Xenovia and Issei in front of Irina. The church members took off their white robes showing that they were wearing a black combat leotard that was borderline erotic for the church as it not only showed off their features it enhanced them as they drew their weapons. "This will be an interesting test of the strength of your servant Rias Gremory."
"Be careful Yumi they are still holy swords."
Yumi had a slightly disturbing smile on her face as it was making everything around weird. "The thing I want to destroy the most is sitting in front of me." Yumi activated her sacred gear once again as she pulled a sword out of the ground.
"Sword Birth… you can make any demonic sword you imagine. Quite a unique sacred gear when it comes to blades. I have heard that there was a subject that avoided being disposed of during the Holy sword project. That was you wasn't it?" Xenovia felt a wave of killing intent wash over her as it confirmed her suspicions.
"Issei-Kun, it's been so long since I've seen you."
Issei put his right arm behind his back "Dwelling on the past is painful." With his left hand, he motioned for the fight to begin
"This must be a trial from God." Irina griped her katana as she ran towards Issei as she got near him she started slashing at him. Issei leaned his body ever so slightly to dodge the attacks but it was only just enough for them to miss.
"Watch his movements." Rias said seeing him dodge while simple attacks while in person this time and not a video.
"I didn't know you could move like that." Koneko looked on unenthused but interested.
Irina swung her sword down as Issei raised his left hand catching the blade with his bare hands between his and index fingers. She was starstruck seeing that he caught the blade but that there was no blood or damage of any sort. Irina pulled on the blade trying to do something but it was almost as if the blade was jammed and unable to move. "Sun Tzu once said Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak." Issei pushed and pulled on the blade jerking her back and forth as she was unwilling to let go of the sword. "Sun Tzu also said The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
At the time Issei's words were lost on Irina as Issei lifted his arm dragging Irina along with the ride. He tossed the blade behind him as Irina held on for the ride as she rolled on the floor. Katase was clapping "I get it."
"I get the first part but what about the second part, he still had to fight." Murayama asked.
"Is it fighting if he never swung a sword or threw a punch? Tossing the sword aside showed that he had one before the fight even started. She chose to hang on and lost because of it." Katase explained.
"Huh, not a bad explanation." Rias said as everybody's attention moved over to Yumi and Xenovia as the ground shook and dirt flew up into the air.
"Excalibur Destruction does what the name implies as destroying this is a simple task." As Xenovia spoke Yumi shifted the blade in her hand from a one-handed sword into a matching two-handed behemoth. The two of them began to swing their blades as small craters started to firm in the ground around them. But it was obvious that two-handed blades were far from Yumi's expertise as she was clearly outclassed in each swing.
The two of them made one more clash as a massive crater formed in the ground. Issei walked over to them as he held out his right hand as a sword began to form in it. It was a massive but thin sword that was black with a few trims of gold that was almost as tall as he was. When he made his way over to them he swung his blade down on top of their connected swords sending them flying into the crater as the two of them tumbled back.
"Sun Tzu once said who wishes to fight must first count the cost." Issei said as they were confused as Issei hiked the blade up to his shoulder. "This fight is over you lost Yumi." She wasn't happy to hear that as Issei took hold of his blade and with the tip flicked Excalibur Destruction to Xenovia as it revealed a cracked sword under it. "You lost based on the fundamental flaw of talent vs skill." The boosted gear appeared on his left hand as Issei pointed at her with it "And you if you say something again that I don't like while you are here. I will make your life as an exorcist hell as I will bypass the fucking pope who sent you here and take it straight to Gabriel." Xenovia saw the boosted gear and was able to put the strings together. "Now get out of here."
Xenovia was quick to pick herself up and get Irina as they made their way off campus after securing their gear. Issei however had other plans as he moved down into the crater as he picked up the almost broken blade. He looked over to Yumi as she was getting ready to leave as he picked her up as slung her over his shoulder. They made back over to the group as Issei shoved the black blade into the ground just so it would stand. He threw Yumi onto the ground as he was holding onto her two-handed sword looking at all the cracks in the metal as it was just able to stay together.
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Issei dropped the sword on the ground as it shattered "What one were you in that battle?"
"I already know myself." She said as she stood up leaning on the clubroom for support.
"Apparently not." Issei reached back and grabbed a hold of his weapon. He held it out for all to see
"You have a lot of black things in your equipment." Rias said remembering that he had a cloak that was just like the exorcists that were black along with the clothes he was wearing.
"I didn't commission this blade to be black." Issei said as he looked to Yumi "Do you know what this blade is?"
"It's just a sword."
She couldn't be any more wrong as Issei held the blade out as he funned some of his power into it. It started to shift from a black and gold blade to a white blade with gold trim that radiates off some holy power. "Just a sword." Issei mocked her as Yumi watched the transformation. "It is a Holy sword that you so despise yet you couldn't see the forest from the trees. This is Arondight the holy sword that followed Lancelot into his descent to madness." Issei let go of the blade as it stuck into the ground reverting to its black and gold look. "The sword is either Holy or demonic never both. Tell you this now you were the 3rd option you knew nothing about your enemy or yourself. All you know is rage and hatred"
"I'm leaving." She tried to walk away but she fell to the ground lying on her back as Issei was pressing his knee into the center of her chest spreading her breasts apart making them uncomfortable in her bra as they were spilling out the side.
"Let me take a guess. You survived the Holy Sword Project because of all of the children that were there. And all of their regrets fuel your powers to strive to destroy Excalibur with your demonic swords? Something like that?"
She reached up to strike at Issei only for him to make a cat-like strike as he smacked the side of her left breast with his fingertips that were poking out. All movement ceased as she was in extreme pain as her arms retracted as she grabbed her breast trying to soothe the pain. "Listen well and don't make me hit your other one. The path you are on as you are will lead to being a corpse and seven Excalibers still existing. Your so-called revenge will die with you as a failure. But you have a choice, you can run off and possibly get yourself killed. Or you stay here have Asia fix you up and talk to the exorcists and rid this town of a problem. And if your good maybe your good I'll let break one."
"How can I be sure you will even make good on that?"
Issei smiled "And you think two humans are going to stop me from getting what I want?"
"Fine.." Yumi said as Issei let off her helping her up.
"Asia, can you take her inside and heal her? She may not look it but she's hiding the pain like a champ." Issei asked as she nodded and watched them head back to the club room. Once the two of them were off in the distance Issei spoke up again "Go on ask the question."
Rias sighed "How long and how much did you know about."
"When you moved in a learned that they had dispatched two exorcists and they were already on the flight. As for how much I knew I would say everything."
"Do you know who has the Sixth Excalibur?" Akeno asked him
"No, but I can guess who might have it. Griselda Quarta would be my guess who would carry it if they don't plan on hiding it in the armory of Heaven."
"Wait Quarta as in that blue hair girl's mother?" Katase picked up on that name.
"The church loves its orphans…" He hooked his thumb a tapped the building "Just like Asia and Yumi were orphans. Griselda is a diehard member of the church…" Issei pointed down. "She isn't using it for breeding only natural uses."
"What do you know about Heaven's plans?"
Issei shrugged "Don't know honestly Heaven is generally a wait and see hands-off kind of thing. That explains why the Holy Sword Project happened. But I wasn't there long enough to find out what they were going to do, but I get the feeling that Michael plans to let me clean up this mess but not ask me to do it."
"You mentioned the Holy Sword Project twice now what is that?" Murayama asked as Rias Akeno and Koneko braced themselves for what was to come.
Issei walked over to Arondight as he pulled it out of the ground. "The holy sword project is a permanent shit stain on the Catholic Church underwear and I'm not talking about the white granny panties, I mean Sunday's lace thong. This all happened around when I woke up so I don't know all the details. But what I do know is some priests thought it would be a great idea to murder kids in search of a way to wield Excalibur. When the Church found out it was happening Heaven found out and they flip every known Church, hideout, and storage spots for information while they investigated what happened. The only thing I know after that is that the body count didn't add up as one was missing. Turns out I just smacked her in the tit. Other than that I don't know much more only that the documents are sealed away." Issei channeled power into Arondight as it turned into a Holy Sword "Not every exorcist can use a holy sword. Hell, even I can't."
"You just turned that sword from Black to White." Rias jabbed him in the arm as she said that.
"Your right I did, but I can't. I have some of Gabriel's power, when I nearly died she gave me some of her energy to keep me alive and my body stored it and set it aside as I turned into a dragon. That's why I can purify Arondight of Lancelot's madness, it's not effective for me to do it or use that holy power so I don't ever use it." The sword returned to its Black state as he put it away. "Power donation is a fickle thing if it's not done correctly."
"So what about Kokabiel?"
"All warfare is based on deception." Issei said as he pointed at them.
"Let me guess.." Rias said unenthused "More Sun Tzu."
"Yes, but it was more of a statement. How does Kokabiel deceive us to make something else happen?"
Rias and Akeno looked at each other as they were drawing blanks on how to answer that. "I don't know he hasn't shown that he's here."
"Exactly, that's why I'm taking Yumi tomorrow and we are going to have a work with the exorcists so we can start working off that murder boner." Issei waved his hand as the ground filled itself back in. Once that was done he headed towards the front of the building.
"Where are you going?" Rias asked as he was walking away.
Issei pointed at the club room "Inside" Issei made his way into the clubroom. When he made his way to the main room everyone had caught up with him. When they walked in Issei was greeted with a sight to see as Yumi was sitting on a couch next to Asia without her shirt or bra on. Katase and Murayama were quick to put a hand over his eyes as they blocked his vision. "Only two left." He pulled their hands away from his eyes as looked at her as she was now covering herself with her arm.
Issei walked over to her as he pulled her arm away "How is it, Asia?"
"It looks fine, just going to need some time for it to heal." She pulled her hand away from Yumi "You did some damage but I was able to fix it."
That was good news for them as Issei ran his finger underneath her breasts. He felt a smack hit him on the side of the head as he saw that it was Yumi's hand. "Calm down." With his other hand, he lifted her breast as his other finger ran down the edge and hit a tender spot. "Asia can you get her here." The green glow flowed out from Asia as Issei went back to playing with her breast under the guise of healing her. "You should be fine by morning. It looks like I didn't do any major damage so I would say don't sleep on that side or with a bra on."
"Are you done molesting her?" Rias was sitting down in her chair as she asked him.
"I wouldn't call that molesting her. Just making sure things heal properly." Issei defended himself
"You have a fetish for breasts don't you?" Akeno looked at him
"Yes." Katase and Murayama answered in unison "If you let him have fun you better be prepared." They were getting looks from everyone.
"Have the two of you…" Akeno's hand moved back and forth as she was trying to imply something.
"Yes." Issei stood up as he picked up the clothes off the couch so he could sit down. When he sat down holding onto Yumi's clothes he looked at everyone as even Asia was somewhat surprised. He handed Yumi her shirt as he looked at the tag in her dark green bra "Well done Yumi I found what many girls have been searching for, you don't look like a 32C."
Yumi wasn't happy having that factor revealed "She's a 32C? I thought she was bigger." Murayama was surprised to hear that.
"I'm going to hurt you." Yumi threatened him as she was putting on her bra.
Issei simply patted her on the head as she finished putting on her shirt. "Self-harm is not on the roadmap to recovery. What is on the roadmap is the two of us ditching school tomorrow and working on things." Issei kept it vague so she wasn't going to get wise to what was going to happen.
"Why should I…" Issei cut her off as he pinched her lips "It's best this way."
"Be honest with us Issei. How much of a chance do we stand against the threat." Rias moved the subject away from Yumi.
"As you are now? Just the six of you? Zero percent."
"What about Sona's help."
Issei shrugged "Unless she has some freak like me it's still a zero."
"Sona is lacking that." Rias sighed when she finished "So what do we do?"
"We play the game. Devils like to think of everything as a game of Chess where everything is a calculated move. But in reality, some things are as simple as checkers or connect four."
As of posting this, I'm editing up other chapters then back onto my mainstory. But I do plan on writing more for this.
