Murayama and Katase were walking closer and closer to Issei. The moment they were a few feet away, they realised that it might not have been Issei as the person looked different. From the similarities, a relative, perhaps? When Murayama and Katase arrived in front of Issei, the duo had the same thought.
'Oh, my God! He's tall! Definitely not Issei!' Murayama and Katase thought. They looked at Issei and wanted to ask who he was, but they were mesmerised by his looks. To them, Issei looked like a prince charming.
"Ahem! You both have been staring at me for a while now," Issei pointed out. It's been a few minutes since Katase and Murayama arrived in front of him. Issei thought they would ask him a question, but all they did was start at him. "Is there something I can do for you girls?".
"Sorry for staring. It's just you look similar to one of the perverted trio," Murayama said. She then looked at Issei intently. "Although, that's only true from afar. Up close, I can definitely tell that you're not him. Your Height, muscular frame, mannerism and looks are vastly more alluring than that pervert".
Issei was laughing on the inside. Technically, he is the very same person, just without the perverted natured…at least not to the extent of being a sexual deviant. Sure, there are times he does have perverted thoughts, and he does get aroused by the people he loves, but he would never do something as fucked up as peeking at women undress without their knowledge. What's the point? Isn't it better to watch your girlfriend/wife striptease for you? At least that was Issei's opinion.
"Oh! I forgot to myself," Murayama said. She looked at Issei and spoke. "I am Murayama, the captain of the Kendo Club here at Kuoh Academy. And this lovely girl beside me is Katase, my vice-captain".
Katase waved her hand at Issei, and he returned the wave with a smile. Murayama and Katase had their heartthrob rapidly.
"Can I ask what you're doing here? You don't seem to be a new student or a current student since you're not wearing our uniform," Katase said. Although the person she talked to isn't one of the perverted trio, she was still wary of strangers being in the school.
"I here to meet my cousin, Hyoudou Issei," Issei said. He was here to monitor Issei and to make sure that fucker was not doing anything stupid. When he read the manga, he saw that the idiot would get stronger with the prospect of breasts. According to the manga, Issei-II was threatened by Vali with the death of his parents, but he didn't have much of a strong reaction until Vali told him of the ability of Half-Dimension. The prospect of making Rias and the other's breasts smaller is what got him worked up, not the safety of his parents. "I was asked to monitor him to make sure that he isn't doing anything degrading towards women".
"Oh, if that's the case, I can take you to him. That pervert would probably be with his stupid friends peeking somewhere," Murayama said. Whenever the Kendo Club is done with their morning training, the perverted trio would be peeking at the girls changing. This has been the routine since their first year.
Murayama and Katase then brought Issei to the location of Issei-II, at least the expected place he would be. Sure enough, he was there. Even after Issei told him the other day, he has already forgotten the fear of being beaten up. So, Issei grabbed the head of Issei-II.
"Who the hell is…?" Issei-II was going to shout and scold the person that disturbed his peeking session, but when he saw Issei, he was horrified. "T-This isn't what it looks like!".
"Oh, it looks exactly what it looks like. It seems that a single beating wasn't enough for you!" Issei said. He then started dragging Issei-II away, but not before saying his goodbye to Katase and Murayama and leaving the rest of the perverted trio to them. "I'll see you girls later, I'll deal with this little shit, and I'll leave the other two to you girls".
Murayama and Katase nodded at Issei, and they took out their shinai and started bashing Matsuda and Motohama. The duo ran for their lives. As for Issei-II, he was getting another beating from Issei. This time, the beating was a lot rougher than the previous day.
"I'll be keeping an eye on you. Whenever you do anything derogatory towards women, I'll make you feel pain," Issei said. He then took out a bottle of potion. "The next time I catch you, I'll use this pain enhancer on you. And the more I catch you doing said act, I'll increase the potency of the potion I use on you. I used this potion to torture someone once, but if it's not enough, I'll cut off your manhood instead. Don't test my patience".
Issei started to walk away from Issei-II, but he was stopped by Issei-II's shout.
"W-Wait!" Issei-II shouted. He was struggling to stand up due to the pain he was feeling. "You said that I was weak. Then, teach me to be stronger! I know that I'm weaker than the White Dragon Emperor, Vali. And with the way I am now, I'll be nothing more than a hindrance. If that's the case, then teach me to be stronger!".
[If he wants to get stronger, why don't you bring him to the Danmachi world? That way, you can complete the Challenge Card while training your counterpart]
'But I still have a month to stay here?" Issei said. He can't leave until the restriction of the Dimension Travel is reset. 'Remember, every time I enter a new world with Dimension Travel, I need to wait a month before I can return to my world'.
[That's true, but you're not using the Dimension Travel, you're going to be using the Challenge Card to head to Danmachi]
'Good! This is going to be fun!' Issei thought. He then grabbed Issei-II and brought him to the hotel where he, Raynare and Serafall were staying. 'If I was to throw Issei-II into the dungeon, would he be able to survive, or will he die? With the Boosted Gear, he should be able to survive'.
[The real question you should be asking is what floor can he achieve on his own when you leave him inside. You can enchant his body so that he can't leave the dungeon and force him to fight his way down the dungeon]
'Oh! That's a great idea. I can give him something as a reward as an incentive,' Issei said. It was getting more interesting thanks to the system. He didn't even think about enchanting magic on Issei-II to prevent him from leaving the dungeon. 'You said I can activate the Challenge Card, and it would transport me to the world of Danmachi, right? Would that even allow me to bring others?'.
[It would allow you to bring companions. However, only the person that activates the card can access the challenge. Essentially, the challenge is meant to be a long term commitment; hence there is no restriction on bringing companions]
Issei laughed, and he opened a portal to the hotel room. Once he was inside, he saw that Serafall and Raynare were watching a show. However, his presence made them ignore it and focus on him.
"You're back already?" Raynare said. She was sure that Issei wanted to mess with the people of Kuoh Academy. But seeing that he was back would only mean that he has other plans now. "What are you planning? And why do you have him?".
Raynare pointed at Issei-II, who was being dragged by Issei by the feet. Raynare feels sorry for Issei-II, but not to the point that she would care too much.
"I plan to head to another world," Issei said. Serafall was excited the moment she heard his words. As much as this world was fascinating, it was no different from their world. "Normally, we would have to wait for a month before we could return, but with something I got, it would send us to another world. I plan to bring Issei-II with us since he asked me to train him".
Raynare gasped cold air through her teeth. Training with Issei was brutal. She remembers how hard it was for her. Looking at Issei-II, she prayed to the dead God to give Issei-II mercy, for he was about to experience actual hell.
"I feel so sorry for you," Raynare said. She looked at Issei with a look of pity. "What your ex-girlfriend did to you would be nothing more than a love tap compared to Issei's training. Good luck, and I hope you don't end up dying".
Raynare knew the ability of the (Training Room – Legendary) and its ability to reject death as it has no concept of death. However, the trauma of dying isn't light. Raynare experienced it when she was trained by Issei, and she hoped never to experience it again.
Issei-II looked at Raynare. Dying from her counterparts Light Spear is a love tap? Is she deranged to the point that gutting someone is merely a love tap? Issei-II thought that the Raynare from another world was different, but it seems that it was only on the surface, and deep down, she was still the same bitch that killed him and Asia.
Poor Issei-II. He thought that Raynare was deranged due to her words. Issei-II would know that Raynare was not the psychotic one but his counterpart. At least when it came to training.
"By the way, Issei? What is the world like that we're heading to? Is it similar to our world, or is it another ancient setting world?" Raynare asked. She was hoping that it wasn't another one of the cultivation worlds as she didn't want to deal with young master or weird cultivators that likes to court death. "I don't think I have the patient at the moment to deal with idiots like that moron when we were exploring the Ancient Orchid Ruin City".
"I'm not sure about the world since it's not a place I've been to before," Issei said. He then spoke to the system mentally. 'System, can you give me details of the world of Danmachi? Other than it has a dungeon, I know nothing else'.
[The world of Danmachi can be considered to have a medieval setting. It's similar to some of the RPG games that you've played. You fight monsters and level up. However, the difference is Gods and Goddesses walk amongst the mortals. They bestow a blessing to adventurers to gain the ability to level up…]
The system continued to explain the situation of Danmachi. It described the Familia system, the Guild, Babylon, and others. Issei then repeated everything he heard from the system to Raynare, Serafall and Issei-II.
