Chapter 14: Strength and Weaknesses: Training Arc Part 2

A Few Hours Later

Issei eye's open to see a white ceiling with a fan spinning on top, "partner it's good to see that you are finally awake. It appears that the devil is more skilled with magic than I thought. I speculated that you would have been out for a few more days but you were able to wake up after a few hours."

Issei groans as he messages his head, "could you speak more softly my head is killing me." Ddraig sighs, "well whatever, also you're not alone in this room."

Issei lifts his head from the pillow to see blonde hair to his left, it was Asia, she was sleeping at the foot of her bed while sitting. In a chair. Issei smiles and then tries to slowly get out of the bed without waking her up but failed.

Asia sits up after feeling the sudden movement of the bed, and her eyes widen with relief, "Issei you're okay," she then gets up from her chair then jumps into his arms, "uhh…yea I'm fine…thanks for uhh healing me."

Asia lets go of Issei while whipping away a few tears, "no I didn't heal you Lord Anos did." Issei's eye's widened, "oh so he broke through the barrier that he was trapped in. That's so is he alright."

"Well…he is but he wasn't really trapped, it was all kind of a test." Issei tilts his head in confusion, "what do you mean test?" Asia nervously smiles while pushing both her pointer fingers together, "well the Fallen that you guys fought today was actually Lord Anos in disguised."

His eyes then narrow, "wait a second so he attacked us just to test us…he punched me in the stomach, and hurt Rias, Akeno, and Kiba. That's so fucked up we could have died."

Asia jumps back a little slightly startled by his outburst, Issei then jumps out of the bed, and darts out the room leaving a startled Asia, as she follows him seconds after he leaves the room.

After leaving the room Issei looks left and right and finally comes to the conclusion that he doesn't know the layout of the mansion and just runs right hoping that he will run into Anos.

"Partner what are you doing," "I'm gonna go punch that prick in the face for making his own sister and Asia cry." "Partner from what I observed from the fight, I doubt you will be able to hurt him."

Issei stops running and clenches his fist, "I think your anger is coming from somewhere else," Asia catches up to Issei looking at him in worry, "Issei are you okay?"

Issei sighs, "yea I'm fine, did he at least apologize for scaring you?" "Yes he apologized to all of us but after his explanation, we all understood why he did it."

Issei relaxes then turns to Asia nervously rubbing the back of his head, "I guess it's okay as long as he apologized," Issei then continues walking forward, "uhh Issei everyone one is this way."

Issei then looks back to see Asia see her pointing in the opposite direction from where he started running. The duo then walks in the opposite direction as they come across some stairs and make their way down there as they could different voices.

"Ara Ara Koneko you have definitely gotten more aggressive if you keep acting like this I believe Rias will lose her temper." "I think you are being a little too clingy to my brother Koneko?" "Like I said earlier if he wants me to move then I will."

After reaching the bottom of the stairs Issei looks to the living room to see Rias sitting next to a man with similar red hair to her's as Akeno was standing behind her, he also saw two other people he didn't know standing behind the man and was going to say something but when looked the man's lap he saw Koneko's laying on the man's lap and he was also petting her head.

Issei's mouth almost hits the floor as he drops to his knees slamming his fist on the ground, "dam-it he already seduced Koneko."

Akeno and Rias turn around by the loud noise coming from the stairs, both girls sigh, as look up from the sword he was cleaning but just as quickly going back to what he was doing, "Koneko would you mind moving so I could stand up?"

Koneko's eyes narrow already knowing what was about to happen, "I do mind but I will let you go for now."

Koneko's head then rises from Anos's lap as she sits up straight to glance at Issei with annoyance that she had to get up from her pillow, "quiet pervert he didn't seduce me."

Anos stands and turns to Issei looking at the fit he was throwing on the ground as he thinks, "seduce? Really if he wasn't such a pervert women would probably like him as well," Anos then glances at Asia and Rias, "well I guess that's not entirely true."

Anos comes out his thoughts and calls Mittelt, she was currently standing in since along with Rin in the living room. Everyone except Issei and Asia looks at her in distrust with narrowed eyes, Anos then walks around the couch as Mittelt follows tight behind him with a downcast expression.

Issei then looks up noticing some footsteps stop in front of him, he looks up to see some white panties, and perverted grin forms on his face, "panties."

After saying Mittelt screeches and screams pervert as a lot of chuckles ring out through the room except for Asia since she crouches down to pinch his cheek.

Mittelt then turns to Anos glaring at him, "I change my mind I won't be apologizing to him." Anos looks at Issei's pained face and back to Mittelt, "well I can't force you that's on you but remember you are responsible for his and Asia's death."

Issei looks to Mittelt in surprise at the statement he just made, Issei then jumps to his feet with his boosted gear out and positions himself in from of Asia with narrowed eyes, "what do you mean she is responsible for our death. Who is this girl?"

{Flash Back a Few Hours Later}

Asia then bows slightly amazed that he healed them without her noticing, even though she was watching the battle the whole time, "thank you, Lord Anos."

Anos then waves her off, "don't mention it," then he turns his attention back to the trio of girls after hearing Rias say, "who are you?"

Mittelt then looks at Anos then back to Rias wondering if she should reveal her identity, "she is my pawn, and if she wants to tell you who or what she is I will leave it up to her to decide."

Rias then looks back to Mittelt with a raised eyebrow, she was emanating the aura of a devil but from what Anos was saying she could be something else.

Mittelt sighs then take a few steps and puffs out her chest while placing both hands on her hips, "I am the Fallen angel Mittelt," as she says this two sets of fallen angel wings shoot out her back.

Since Koneko already knew this she just continues to hug Anos and ignore her, while Kiba and Asia look at her both feeling different emotions, with Kiba being more angered by her presence but Asia was about to walk towards her to shake her hand but Rias raises her arm halting her path.

"Mittelt you say, your name sounds familiar but I don't recognize you." Mittelt's eyes narrow thinking that Rias actually forgot about her since she was the one who killed her but then realization comes to her eyes, as she looks at her body noticing that the illusion on her body was hiding her true form.

Then a red glow emanates from her body then dies down after a few seconds, then surprise forms in Rias eye's, "wait you're the fallen that plotted to kill Asia," she then looks to Mittelt's wings a little surprised, "and the last time I saw you only had one set of wings."

Mittelt looks to Anos asking for help, "Rias let me explain…it will be easier if I do," Rias then turns her attention to her brother along with everyone else. Anos then spent the next ten minutes telling everyone a made-up story about how he turned Mittelt into her servant.

Rias was rubbing her chin thinking about what her brother had told her, "I see but why a Fallen you could reincarnate someone else?"

Anos glances at Mittelt and back to Rias, "when I came across her in the forest half alive while also being half-dead, we struck a deal I required information and she wanted something else but if you want to know her side of the deal you will have to ask her."

Rias then glances at Mittelt then back to Anos, "so she was able to get another set of wings because she became a devil but why is she here?"

"She is here to train like the rest of you," Rias, Kiba, and Asia look to Mittelt, "I don't personally have anything against her joining but," and Rias says this next part while gesturing towards her peerage, "I can't say the same about the rest of my peerage."

Mittelt looks to Asia she was nervously looking away she then looks to Kiba he was smiling but she could tell it was forced and sighs, "well want do you want me to do."

"An apology would be nice," Mittelt looks back to Rias looking a little confused, "for what," Rias then narrows her eyes, "for killing Asia."

Mittelt scoffs while crossing her arms, "I didn't kill that witch go ask Raynare for an apology," Koneko turns her head to Mittelt as everyone else looks to her in disgust.

Rias was about to say something but Anos beats her to it, "Mittelt," she turns her attention to Anos and see that this wasn't the time to be acting like this, "why do you call her a witch?"

Mittelt shrugs, "I mean that's why she got kicked out of the church for being one…right?"

Anos sighs mentally while petting Koneko's head causing her to calm down then turn and continue hugging him, "I see so you aren't calling her witch because you know the truth but that doesn't excuse what you did," Anos eye's then narrow slightly, "and if Asia is a witch what does that make you?"

Mittelt widens her eyes slightly then looks away in defeat and glances at Asia then when she looked into her eyes she saw the same emotions she had when Michael kicked her out of heaven for becoming a fallen Angel.

"Hey…umm… Asia was it," "umm…yes its Asia," there was silence as Mittelt was trying to find the correct words to say, "why did you get excommunicated if you don't mind me asking?" Everyone looks to Asia, and she shyly nods, "sure I don't mind."

A Few Minutes Later

Mittelt was clenching her fist in fury she couldn't believe what she heard, they really kicked her out and called her a witch for something she couldn't control, and it wasn't like she knew he was a devil in the first place.

Her anger then went to Michael as he did the same thing to her all those years ago just to protect the system.

Mittelt locks eye's with Asia just to see if she was lying but deep down she knew she wasn't, Mittelt then bows her head slightly, "I am sorry Asia, it was wrong for me to call you a witch. I didn't know the full story and I hurt your feelings, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me?"

Asia then walks toward Mittelt placing her hand on her shoulder, causing Mittelt to lift her head to glance at a smiling Asia, "it's fine you didn't know the full story and I can see you went through something similar so if you want to talk about it I'm here for you?"

Mittelt's already wide eyes open even further, how could the church excommunicate someone this pure and kind, Mittelt, then stands up straight, "sure but I would like to do that another time."

Then for another time, Mittelt is surprised as Asia extends her arms toward Mittelt, "well if you don't want to talk about it now, can I at least give you a hug?"

For a split second Mittelt swore she saw the spitting image of her sister on Asia's face, and her eyes start to water as she whispers unheard by everyone, "Mattel," Mittelt then pulls Asia into a hug catching her off guard slightly at how fast she hugged but hugs her back.

Both girls just continue to hug each other while the onlookers just look at them in silence, and didn't realize that Akeno had woke and was currently towards, "my…my has our little Asia found a girlfriend when Issei founds out he might be heartbroken."

Both Asia and Mittelt nervously let go of each other as everyone turns their attention to Akeno, "I guess everyone is fine since everyone is smiling," Rias rolls her eyes and glances at her brother, "yea no thanks to someone who decided to test us."

Akeno looks at Anos, as usual, he was just doing what he does best grinning as if he didn't care, "I see," then her eyes trail down to Koneko as she cocks her head to the side playfully, "and what is this our little Akeno is being so assertive?"

Rias then looks back to her brother and Koneko, "you know my brother only likes girls with big breasts," Koneko twitches slightly and looks up at Anos. He doesn't say anything and just sighs thinking to himself, "why does this world have to be so perverted, I mean does a women's breast really determine if she is a good woman or not?"

Anos then looks down at Koneko, "I am very opened minded when it comes to the type of women I like so don't feel too down." Rias just rolls her eyes while Koneko smiles warmly and goes back to hugging him, he then felt someone glaring at him and he looks toward Mittelt and she just scoffs and looks away.

"Akeno," after hearing her name being called she turns to Rias and she had a serious look on her face, "yea is everything okay," "well do you see that girl over there," Akeno then looks to Mittelt her smile turns slightly sadistic, "oh look its the. Fallen that you killed, yes what about her?"

Rias then gestures toward her brother with her head, "yea well my brother decided to save her after she died for personal reasons and now she is going to be training alongside us are you okay with that."

Akeno looks Mittelt up and down closely and nods, "I am fine with it but if she tries anything I will personally make sure she stays dead this time," Akeno had a smile on her face was not a caring smile at all.

Rias sighs her brother was always causing unnecessary stress for her, "Kiba, Koneko what about you two how do you guys feel about it?" Both Koneko and Kiba turn to Rias and nod that they are cool with it, "okay so Issei is the only one left," then Rias looks over to the tree he was still sleeping under, "but it looks like he will be out for a while."

"It's fine I restored his magic so he should wake up in a few hours," Rias nods, "okay well we still need to unpack so is everyone ready to get started." A unanimous yes comes from everyone while Anos just nods, "also I have a personal maid already inside but don't expect her to help you with anything since she only desires to help me out."

Everyone then walks gathers up the bags that were still lying on the ground then heads toward the mansion to unpack.

{Flash Back End}

Issei looks to Mittelt in surprise at the statement he just made, Issei then jumps to his feet with his boosted gear out and positions himself in from of Asia with narrowed eyes, "what do you mean she is responsible for our death. Who is this girl?"

Anos the gestures toward, "this Mittelt my pawn, she is also a fallen angel who happens to be one of the ones involved in your death." Mittelt just rolls her eyes, "and she will be training along the rest of you but only if all of you are okay with it."

Issei's eyes widen then glanced at Mittelt who had her arms crossed and was looking off to the side, "yea but I doubt she is even sorry," Anos was about to say something but Mittelt cut in, "I'm not sorry but I was going to apologize. But after you looked up my skirt I am starting to second guess my decision."

Anos slaps Mittelt on the back of her head, "calm down," Mittelt just grabs the back of her head and glares at Anos, "but he looked up my skirt." "Well, you were responsible for his death now you're even apologizing unless you want to leave?"

Mittelt sighs in defeat and nods reluctantly and looks to Issei, "fine I get it you didn't have to slap the back of my head that really hurt, I think you left a bruise on my head."

"You're fine now apologize," "Issei," Issei then snaps his back to Mittelt, "I apologize for being responsible for your death," Mittelt then lowers her head, "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me?"

Issei then looks to Asia then back to Mittelt, "the person you should be apologizing to is Asia because you guys tried to steal her sacred gear." Mittelt flinches slightly and glances at Asia and she smiles at her, Mittelt then looks to Issei, "I have apologized and I deeply regret what happened to her."

Issei then looks to Asia, "if you are okay with this then I won't protest," Asia smiles warmly, "yes I am fine with it." Issei sighs then look back to Mittelt since she still had her head lowered, "okay I accept but if you hurt Asia or any one of us I will make you regret it."

Mittelt straightens back up and nods then looks to Anos, "are we done here," he nods, "yea," turns to Rias and her peerage, "let's get something to eat, then I shall tell you all how this week's training regiment will play out."

Rias looks toward Akeno, "would you mind making something to eat," "yes I don't mind but I may need some help there are a lot of mouths to feed." Asia raises her hand, "I don't mind helping," "thanks Asia," Akeno then walks toward the kitchen and gestures for Asia to follow and she does happily.

Issei finally stands to his feet and looks at the next unidentified woman standing in silence with a blank expression but she was staring at Anos while he was talking to Rias, "hey president I didn't a maid worked here," Rias turns toward Issei, "that's my brother's personal maid Rin, but she only works for my brother and doesn't talk to anyone so don't bother trying to talk to her."

Issei bites his lip, "dammit first Koneko and now he has a personal maid. I have to get good at this devil shit." Anos glances at Issei while talking to his sister and thinks to himself, "why is he biting his lip and staring at me I thought he liked girls, not boys," Anos then glances back then turns his attention back to Rias, "why is he looking at me like that I thought he like women, not boys?"

Rias turns her head toward Issei and notice that he was staring at her brother while biting his lip, "yea he does he probably is just jealous that you have a personal maid who is gorgeous and well Koneko who is our school's mascot."

"Have? Last time I checked Koneko was in your peerage not mine and I don't own Rin she can leave anytime she wants," Anos then looks toward Rin who was just staring at him, and nods in agreement, "see."

"But what about Koneko what if she wanted to join your peerage," Anos glances toward Koneko who is fake sleeping on the couch, and how he knew she was fake sleeping is because he saw her head towards the conversation slightly, "I only added Mittelt to my peerage because of our agreement and once that is completed or is decides she wants to leave then she can leave."

Rias glances to ward Mittelt as she was mindlessly looking all over the place while standing behind Anos, "I see…well if that's the case then it can't be helped."

After listening to the conversation Issei literally starts crying waterfalls grabbing everyone in the living room's attention, "ahhh come on that fucking bull shit, first you have a smoking blonde in your peerage and you have a smoking hot personal maid.

Now Koneko could join your peerage and you just flat out say no," Anos eyes narrow, and thinks mentally that there is something seriously wrong with this kid, "don't worry Koneko if Lord Anus won't accept you I will."

Anos eye's narrow slightly and walks toward Issei as a red aura starts to emit from his body, "did you really just mess up my name kid?" Issei chuckles nervously, "oh yea sorry it was Lord Anos right my bad."

Anos had an unamused look in his eyes and they were glowing a bright red, Rias sighs and walks back to the couch, "sorry Issei this is out of my hands," "yea pervert I hope you survive."

Issei looks to Rias as she sits back on the couch to watch tv, then to Koneko who was just waving goodbye. He then looks back to Anos he was still walking toward Issei slowly and was now just a few feet away, "I'm sorry sir it was an accident," "Red Dragon Emperor," Issei then snaps to attention as Anos was now staring down on him.

"I was not talking to you I was talking to the dragon inside of you. Don't worry I don't need a response I was just letting you know I am about to put your host under an illusion so don't release him from it."

Ddraig's voice then rings out throughout the room, "fine I was asleep a while ago and just woke from his crying and heard him mess up your name. So I understand your frustration if someone messed up my name after learning it I would be enraged too. So go ahead with your illusion I am going back to sleep."

Issei snaps his attention at the green orb in his hand with a scared look in his eyes, "what the fuck Ddraig you're supposed to be on my side." "Partner just think of this as a part of your training now take it like a man," "don't say it like that.."

But Issei's surroundings change to him standing on an island under a burning sun surrounded by an endless sea, "what the hell if this is supposed to be my illusion then it doesn't seem so bad." "Really…well don't get used to it but enjoy yourself for now."

Issei sighs and takes look at his surroundings while walking around the small island with a single palm tree with one coconut on the top, "this is supposed to be a punishment but the only thing that sucks is the burning sun," Issei then looks up to the sun and lifts hands to block the light from the sun.

"Dam I feel like it's getting hotter by the second," Issei then walks to the singular palm tree with sweetness rolling down his head, he then sits down in front of the tree leaning his back on it and whites some sweat off his forehead.

"Dam there is nothing to do I wish I could see the president again and her, wait what doesn't the president look like, better yet what does any girl look like? I can't remember what bread looks like…I can't daydream about what they looked like. This place fucking sucks balls I can't stay here."

Transition Back to the Outside World

Issei was currently standing motionless staring at the ceiling with his pupils dilated, Anos was about to walk away but Ddraig grabs his attention, "this illusion you put my partner under is very detailed. If I didn't already know it was an illusion I would have thought it was real. But this illusion seems more like a test than a punishment?"

Anos smirks, "you are correct…it is both a test and a punishment." "I see I was planning on going back to sleep but I will watch his progress." "That's fine I will be monitoring it as well," the jewel on Issei's hand disappears and Anos turns around and walks back to the couch to watch tv with everyone else.

{Transition to Dinner Time}

Akeno and Asia walked out of the kitchen pushing out a cart that had food on them, "greetings everyone Asia and I have something special prepared for all of you," "yes it took us a little longer than we hoped but please enjoy," Asia looks around to everyone and notices that Issei wasn't, "umm…is Issei not eating with us?"

Rias sighs and looks at Anos and his eyes glow for a split second, and a scream rings out through the living room. "Yes, I'm free thank the Lord…Ahhh….fuck my head that hurts," Asia then darts out of the room with a terrified look in her eyes.

Koneko had a puzzled look on her face while everyone else was just chuckling, "I guess I missed something exciting." A few moments later Issei walks into to dining room leaning on Asia with a crazed look in his eyes, "it's over thank God…ahh… I'm back that was horrible."

Asia then helps Issei to his feet and looks at him cautiously, "are you alright you look like you have been through a lot."

Koneko then tugs Anos sleeve grabbing his attention, "what did you do to him he looks mentally exhausted," since Kiba was sitting next to Koneko and leans closer to listen as well to hear what Anos was about to say, "well I put him on an island alone for an entire year, with no food or water, and only one tree as a source of shelter. I also blocked all his memories about women."

"What do you mean a year it's only been like an hour." Anos smirks and winks at Koneko causing her to blush slightly and look away, "when you get really good at illusion you will be able to do a lot of spectacular things."

Koneko looks back to Anos and she had the same determination in her eyes when she first asked him to train her, "I want you to learn." "Sure no problem," "Lord Anos I would like to learn as well."

Anos then turns his attention to Kiba with keen interest, "you want to learn how to use illusions and why is that?" "I already know some but I'm not as good as Koneko and I figured now would be a good time to learn."

Anos nods accepting his answer, "fine I can fit you both into the schedule I have made for guys this week but we can discuss that later I think Akeno is tired of just standing there and Rias seems a little angry since she hasn't eaten yet."

Kiba and Koneko look at both Rias and Akeno respectively, Akeno was just standing in silence with a smile while Rias was just tapping the table with her finger with her eyes closed, "Anos I'm not angry but I would like to eat so if everyone could get settled that would be great."

After looking over Issei one final time Asia walks toward the cart Akeno was standing behind patiently, "sorry everyone, and thank you for your patience."

Akeno and Asia then decorate the table with cups and plates the finally place a large pot with a top on it, Akeno then removes the top to real a seafood hot pot, "Asia and I have prepared a delicious seafood hot pot there is shrimp, lobster, scallops, oysters, clams, mussels, and a different assortment of vegetables."

after saying this Akeno graciously bows and Asia does the same, "we both hope you all enjoy this meal." After saying that everyone digs into the hot pot to eat, Rias then glances at her brother's maid who was just standing in silence behind him while he ate, "hey brother, is Rin not hungry."

Anos looks back at Rin and she just continues to look at him, "are you not hungry Rin," Rin blinks a few times and says, "no I do not require food."

Everyone at the table looks at her except for Mittelt since she knew who Rin truly was and Issei since he was trying to come back to reality and would mumble something about his best friend Mr. coco but everyone except for Asia just left him alone.

"What do you mean you don't require food are you not hungry," Rin turns to Akeno, "don't worry she does but right now she is fasting, just look at her waist do you think she stay that thin by eating a lot of food."

Akeno then turns to Anos curiously, "I see but if she doesn't then she won't develop in the right places," while doing this she winked at him playfully, "I think she looks fine the way she is."

Rin then cocks her to the side looking at Anos more closely, "is this form more to your taste in women." For a few seconds, the dining room was silent with it only being interrupted by Issei's ominous mumbling about Mr. coco and with Asia trying to get him to eat.

Anos then coughs softly to break the silence, "well that's not completely wrong but let's talk about something else," out the corner of his eye Anos could see Koneko looking at her chest and back to Rin's and a small smile formed which didn't go unseen by Kiba since he was sitting next to her.

Mittelt also picked up on that as well and pinched Anos's leg glaring at him out the corner of his eye, Anos then looks to Mittelt pinching his leg, and smirks you could do that for eternity and I still wouldn't feel it.

Mittelt then pinches his leg harder and even attempts to add a twist to increase the pressure but Anos just smirks more and looks away at Rias and Akeno who both had a mischievous glint in their eyes, Akeno then chuckles, and a smirk forms on Rias face.

"Oh Anos I think I finally get it now after all these years it took me a while but I think I finally figured out your type right Akeno," Akeno nods in agreement, "yes for a while I thought he didn't like a girl but now I am finally starting to see your type."

Anos eyes narrow slightly, "my type," Anos then crosses his arms and looks at his sister and Akeno more closely, "well that does sound entertaining to listen to but I'd rather talk about what we are gonna this week."

Akeno and Rias sigh in defeat and just look at him like wanting to have this conversation, "good now let me disclose how this week will go," Anos then raises a hand with a magic circle forming on it and a red beam of magic shoots out striking Issei in the head causing him to blink rapidly, "wait what…" he then looks up with the razed look in his eye's gone, "I feel a lot calmer now it feels like post nut clarity."

Anos sighs he has seen many things in his lifetime but he has never been exposed to this much perversion in his life, "Issei keep your perverted thoughts to your self Anos was about to tell us the game plan for the week." Issei nervously rubs the back of his and apologizes and Anos continues from where he left off, "thanks Koneko so as I was saying this is how this week will play out…"

One hour Later

After telling his sister and her peerage game plan for the next seven days the only ones who seemed excited being Koneko, Kiba, and Mittelt since they were kind of excited about getting stronger.

Rias and Akeno were both skeptical about what they were going to be doing since Anos gave a very brief description of what they would be doing. Asia out of everyone probably had the easiest training but it wasn't gonna be a cakewalk and finally was Issei he was completely scared shitless about tomorrow.

Anos told him what they were going to be doing in the morning but wouldn't elaborate more saying that it would take too long to explain but he did say he wouldn't surprised if he dies. So once he heard that Issei did get a little more anxious but Rias said that he should be fine as long as he gives his all.

Currently, Anos was walking to his room with Rin following behind him having a mental conversation, "you are usually gone by now why are you still here?" "I did say I was going to observe you," Anos then glances back at Rin, "what about your organization have you abandoned them."

Rin just shakes her head, "no I will return to them but they don't need me to be with them every day, they can survive on their own. But I do have a question what do you look for in a mate?"

Anos stops walking and turns his head to look at Rin then continues walking, "don't know it has never crossed my mind." "I see but it is obvious that the little cat has feelings for her. Do you not find her attractive?"

Anos doesn't say anything for a while and reaches his room and walks inside, "I don't have time to be worried about relationships, I am more concerned about my people." Anos then walks to the bathroom in his room as Rin stops in the middle of the room just staring at Anos, "I understand but what will you do if you can't return?"

Anos turns on the shower and walks out the bathroom without a shirt with a towel on his shoulder, "why does everyone keep asking me that, I'm starting to sound like a broken record."

Anos stops talking as Rin walks closer to him looking at him more intensely, "what's up is something bothering you?" Rin just shakes her head, "no," "good," Anos then walks past Rin and walks to a suitcase on his bed pulling out some soap to use in the shower.

While Anos walked past Rin he didn't notice her poke her chest over her heart, she then turns back around, "are their dragons in your world?" "Yea but they aren't as powerful as the dragons of this world. But why do you ask that should be obvious?"

Anos then walks past her and into the bathroom to shower, "I wish to see your world with my own eyes." Anos was about to close the door to the bathroom but stopped and looks at Rin, "why do you wish to come to my world Ophis, this is a little out of character for you?"

"You and your world intrigue me that is all." Anos chuckles mentally, "you are changing, just a few days ago you kept talking about wanting to regain your silence."

Rin nods, "yes I have noticed that as well, the more I have observed you and your power. I find it intriguing but I still desire my silence. Though the same could be said for you. From what I saw in your memories you used to be more arrogant, aggressive, chaotic but now have changed?"

Anos pauses and just stares at Rin, he knew he hadn't been acting like his old self but it felt different hearing someone else say it, "and how am I now?"

"I'd say you are more passive than what saw in your memories less arrogant and a lot less aggressive," Anos nods in agreement "well I guess you really have been observing," after saying that he closes the door to the bathroom.

A Few Minutes Later

The shower stops in the bathroom and Anos walks in some pajamas, "I assume you don't sleep but standing over me while I sleep is weird." "Yes I don't but I don't intend on leaving so I shall sleep here," a dark purple then surrounds Rin's body and her clothes disappear.

Anos pulls the sheets back and looks at Rin with a raised eyebrow, "why are you naked," Rin then cocks her head to the side, "I am a dragon I am used to sleeping naked, and I am positive you won't do anything anyways.

So I see nothing wrong with me sleeping naked." Anos sighs and climbs into the bed, "sure but at least wear pajamas," Rin nods and a soft glow surrounds her body and she creates the exact same pajamas Anos was wearing. "Cool now let's get some sleep tomorrow is gonna be a long day."

{Dream Sequence}

Anos was having a dream about a solid gold throne room with many gods standing while two blonde girls were kneeling down to a man sitting on a throne.

The man had an annoyed look on his face while the other go in the room were talking amongst themselves, "but father why does she have to do it there are more capable Gods," the girl on the right gestures to other gods who were standing around then, "I am the king of the gods and I will not be questioned by my own daughter," the lowers her head back down but she had an annoyed look on her face.

The girl looks to her sister, "say something I can't always speak up for you." The other girl nervously looks up, "well if father needs me to go then I guess there isn't any other choice."

The other girl sighs, "come on sis." "Silence," after saying this a loud boom rings out through the throne room as the King of the Gods slams his fist on his chair causing his aura to flare, "if no one has anything else to say, raise my daughter," the girl on the left stands.

He lifts his hands as a magic circle forms as the girl's body is engulfed in a bright golden glow, her right blue eye turns black with the pupils turning into a golden eight-point star. She drops to her knees grasping her right eye feeling an intense burning sensation, she then let out a deafening scream in agony.

The other gods had smiles on their faces while her sister just had a furious look in her eyes, "good now pick up a weapon this will help harness your true power," the girl rises with a hollow look in her eye's as blood started to fall from her face.

She looks off to the side to see a weapons table that had a golden and black spear, a giant bow, and golden sword, and a book of spells. She lazily walks over towards the bow glancing back toward her sister, she had a nervous look in her eye and she chuckles slightly then walks to the spear.

"This one I will take the two-sided spear," she looks back to her father and he nods, "take it," she grabs the spear and it glows a black light from the bottom and golden light from the top and the dream goes black.

With it being replaced by another of the same girl sitting ontop a throne of bones with an annoyed look in her eyes as the right one was glowing ominously, next to her were seven individuals kneeling next to her thrown.

She was looking down at a group of fallen angels who were bowing to her in fear with a communication circle next to her ear, "I see so that's why you sent them here but why not kill them and be done with it?"

There was silence for a few seconds as the voice gives his reasons for sending his children to her domain, "I see…so you want me to give them a piece of my domain but why not lock them in heaven and throw away the key…I see but you will owe me a favor should the time arrive's."

The communication circle disappears and the woman turns her attention to the group of fallen as they cower in fear under her gaze, "listen up because I won't be repeating myself."

The fallen snap their heads up as fear forms in their eye thinking they are going to die, "you are going to the first level and if you decide to piss me off I will kill you all with the snap of my finger," and she demonstrates this by snapping her finger and one of the fallen turns into a blue light and float towards her.

She takes it into her hand as her eye glows making her power rise more causing the fallen sweet more. She ten levitates from her throw walking toward them, "I am not your father and I do not share his kind heart so do your best to not piss me off."

She then bends down to look at one fallen as he looks up to her, he had a prideful look in his eye and her eyes narrowed, "but I do not care for your kind but I do like to see to memories of the dead...so have fun up there." After saying this a sadistic smile forms on her face, and a smile forms on the fallen face understanding what she was saying, "understood goddess I'll make sure to send you a lot as thanks for your kindness."

{Dream Sequence Ends}

Anos awakens with an unfamiliar feeling on his chest and removes the covers to see Koneko lying on his chest in nothing but her underwear. Koneko eye's open to see Anos staring at her impassively and she smiles, "good morning Anos did you get enough sleep?"

Anos sighs, "what are you doing in my bed and with nothing but underwear on," Koneko's eyes narrow seductively, "well I got lonely in my bed so I decided to come in here, I tried to ask but you didn't wake up so I just climbed in here."

Anos nods but a question did pop into his mind, "why didn't he wake up when she tried, and better yet why didn't Ophis try to wake him."

Anos removes the covers over Ophis to see her staring at him passively, "why didn't you wake me up," "I didn't think she was going to kill you so I found no need to awaken you, and plus she tried so I figured since she tried to would be no need for me to try."

Anos looks back to Koneko, "and where are your clothes," "it got hot so left them on the floor," Koneko then points to her clothes next to the bed. "I see but I need to get up so do you mind," Koneko sighs reluctantly and gets out the bed grabbing her clothes and putting them on.

"Rin are you coming," Rin rises from the bed, "I have no reason to stay so I shall," her body glows and her clothes change from the pajamas that Anos was wearing to her black maid uniform. Anos gets changed and walks out of the room with Koneko and Rin following behind, "hey Anos why are you up so early?"

Anos glances down to Koneko then back forward with a smirk, "well we are going to Issei's room to start his training." "This early what do you have planned," "well at the moment he is undoubtedly the weakest member of my sister's peerage but he does have the most potential."

They reach Issei's room and knock once there was no answer then he knocks again but there still wasn't an answer, Anos then attempts to open the door but it was locked. Anos looks down to Koneko and she looks at him, "are you gonna kick his door down like you did mine," Anos smiles, " I was thinking about it but I don't want to wake anyone up."

Anos then looks back to the door knocking again but like last time there wasn't an answer but Anos just decides to knock the door down. The trio walks into the room to see an extremely exhausted and startled Issei, "what the hell is going on?"

"Calm down and get changed we are about to start your training," Issei glances at his clock it was 4:30 in the morning. "It's way too early for this we can start in like another hour," Koneko's eyes narrow, and walk toward Issei as he hides back under his covers.

She then lifts the bed causing Issei to roll out and land on his butt, "fine I'm…up I'm up," Koneko then puts the bed down then walks next to Anos, "good now get dressed," and after a few minutes Issei walks out in a tracksuit, "I'm ready…now what am I going to be doing."

"Good now start boosting your power to the max while we walk there," a confused look then forms on Issei's face, "like right now right now…why?" "Because your body needs to get used to the power of the Ddraig so start boosting," Issei still didn't really understand but just summons the boosted gear and starts to boost his power, "good now let's go."

After walking for ten minutes Issei had reached his max boost five times, "why are we at the steps that led to the bottom of the mountain," Issei was looking between the steps and Anos, "because you are going to run up and down this mountain, while boosting your power as a warm-up then we will move onto something else."

Tears start to form in Issei's eyes as he starts to plead with Anos to not make him run up and down the mountain, "quiet I haven't even told you how many times you are running."

A smile forms on his face as he starts to hope that he will only have to do it once, "you are doing this ten times," and with that declaration, all of Issei's hopes are crushed. It took an hour just to reach the top the first time but now he has to do it ten times, "but that will take up to much time I won't be able to work on other things."

Anos eyes narrow he was starting to get annoyed by the boy; from what his brother told him Issei seemed really determined to fight for his sister but it looks like that was all talk, "I thought you wanted to protect my sister, or was all that stuff you said to Riser just a lies."

Issei's eyes narrow and he looks Anos directly in the eyes, "hello no I would lay down my life for the president," "then show me by completing this warm-up before breakfast in two hours."

Issei salutes Anos and turns to start his run but stops when Anos says, "also Issei continuously boosts your power while you did this and if you stop I will know and you won't like what I do."

A chill runs up Issei's spine and he nods then starts. Running down the mountain while boosting his power. Anos then looks to Koneko, "do you want to start that illusion training now," she nods, "what about Kiba," a red teleportation circle forms underneath the trio, "we are going there now."

They then teleport in front of Kiba's room with Anos knocking on it seconds later, after a few seconds a soft could be heard on the other side of the door. Then footsteps could be heard walking toward the door and it opens, "oh Lord Anos…Koneko how may I help you?"

"I am here to start your training on illusions are," Kiba nods, "yes just give me a second and I will be out." After ten minutes Kiba reopens the door, "I am ready let's get started," the four of them teleport to the forest, "good now let's get started."

Ten Minutes Later

After Anos gave an explanation of what he would be teaching them both Koneko and Kiba had a confused look on their faces, "um…Lord Anos, I'm not saying you didn't explain it well but I still don't understand."

Koneko just nods agreeing with Kiba, "I understand I guess it would be easier to understand if I give you an example." A magic circle then forms around Anos and spins while expanding to the size of a small house then disappears.

Koneko and Kiba look around in confusion and amazement, "Lord Anos what did you do," Anos smirks and the area changes to a beach. But the thing that surprised both Koneko and Kiba was that they could feel the heat from the sun and when they bent down they could feel the hot sand.

Koneko then looks back to Anos after looking at her new surroundings, "wait is this all an illusion or reality?"

Anos shrugs, "go walk around and find out," Kiba and Koneko look at each other then start to inspect the beach they were walking on, and while they did that both Anos and Ophis were having a mental conversation, "this illusion you created is quite good I'm pretty sure it could fool dragons that aren't dragon king level,"

"that makes sense illusions don't really work on dragons so something like this wouldn't even fool the weaker ones but for other beings, they wouldn't be able to tell this from the real world."

"I see but how it is so detailed you created things that you shouldn't be able to with illusions like taste, smell, touch, and hearing." Anos mentally chuckles, "thanks those are signs the illusion is working, and the more a person notices that the stronger the illusion will work on them."

Kiba then walks to Anos after kicking a few rocks and cutting down a nearby tree, "I can't tell if this is an illusion or not. Obviously, you told us you were going to give us a demonstration but everything here is way too detailed to be fake."

Kiba then points to the tree he chopped down earlier, "for instance I could feel myself get tired from chopping down that tree, and plus I don't know how I can feel heat and sand between my fingers."

Koneko then walks to them after wandering around for a bit, "yea he is right you said you were going to give us a demonstration but I can't tell what's real or fake."

Anos then points behind them with a smirk, "walk that way." Both devils look back in confusion then back to Anos with faces asking him why "go on just walk that way," they both shrug and walk for about fifteen feet and smack their faces on something invisible, "what is this an invisible wall."

They both touch the invisible barrier with realization coming to Koneko's eye, "do you remember the magic circle he created earlier." Kiba looks to Koneko confused for a second then realization comes to his eye, "I see so that's what that was,"

cracks then form on the invisible wall and it shatters like glass revealing the forest they were once in moments ago, "now does my explanation make sense now. Illusions can literally rewrite the world and depending on your mastery of illusions."

They both turn back to Anos, "I see so that's why everything felt so real it basically was." Anos nods at Kiba, "yes and no…all the sensations you felt were real but the world itself wasn't."

Kiba and Koneko look at Anos in amazement but Kiba was more amazed since she already Knew Anos could do a lot cooler things. Anos opens his mouth to speak but lifts his finger to the sky and a bolt of lightning shoots up and sails north then a few seconds later girly scream echos in the forest, "now let's begin."

Time Skip to 6:00 am

That's enough for now let s head back to the mansion for breakfast, Kiba and Koneko nod and follow Anos to the estate, "excuse me miss Rin…I don't think we formally met I am Yuuto Kiba."

Kiba warmly smiles toward Rin and she looks at him blankly then nods, "yes it is a pleasure," Kiba nervously smiles, "yea it is a pleasure…if you don't mind me asking how did you meet Lord Anos?"

"I wish not to talk about it…I leave it to my master to explain," Kiba sweet drops a little and glances at Anos, "to keep a short story short I saved her life and she chose to stay with me."

Koneko was listening as well but something about Rin made her feel uneasy; after walking for a few minutes they arrive back at the mansion to see Issei walking toward the building with a limp.

His clothes had burn marks on them and he was sweating a lot, "hey Issei looks like you have been working," Issei turns around with an exhausted look in his eyes, "oh hey you guys…I see you all were training along with Anos."

He then opens the door and walks inside and Asia scream, "oh my gosh Issei you look exhausted and smell kind of bad I think you should take a shower." "Thanks, Asia I appreciate that I have been running for almost two hours straight."

Anos and everyone walk inside to smell a delicious aroma in the mansion, "hello everyone how was training." Kiba is the first one to speak like him and Koneko stops to talk to her while Anos and Rin walk toward Rias and Mittelt sitting on the couch watching tv, "hello Rias I see you are watching all of Riser's past rating games good have you learned anything."

Rias was wearing glasses and a track uniform with notes in her hand, "yea for one I can tell Ravel makes all the ideas and he just goes with it," she then points to the screen, "look he just sits in his territory with his queen while Ravel goes on the front lines exciting the plans."

Anos then sits next to his sister picking up some of her notes to take a look, "these are good notes but some of these plans you are coming up aren't really good no offense."

Yesterday Anos told Rias to watch Riser's past rating games and to take notes on things she noticed and make plans for them, "it's fine they are only rough drafts as I learn more I will change accordingly."

Anos goes through a few more notes and notices something strange, "I don't see any countermeasures for if someone has Phenex tears." Rias looks at Anos a little confused, "I mean he hasn't used them in a single one of his rating games so figured it wasn't worth worrying about."

Anos sighs, "not a bad idea but you have to remember to expect everything. I won't lie it's impossible to plan for everything but it is possible to plan for the obvious and you should be prepared for him to use Phenex tear or one of his peerage members to use them."

Anos then lifts his right pointer finger, "remember that during rating games members are allowed a max of two Phenex tears for the game." Rias then nods, "you're right it was kind of foolish to not expect he might use them if push comes to shove, who do you think might have them. I suspect his queen and probably Ravel."

Anos pats Rias head causing her to blush as she moves it away, "you're not foolish you are learning and I would suspect those two as well; I can't see him giving them to anyone else."

Anos then gets up leaving Rias to study the footage some more and walks to Mittelt, "how are you doing this morning?" She just yawns, "I haven't woken up early this much since the great war," "she almost didn't get up Asia had to come in there multiple times," Anos glances back at Rias then back to Mittelt with her nervously rubbing the back of her head.

"Not entirely my fault I was having the best and weirdest dream. I was in a dark room and this girl was on her knees…" but Rias cuts her off, "could you not say that dream again it was absolutely disgusting?"

Mittelt rolls her eyes, "whatever but when I woke up I felt really happy and I don't know why." Anos nods now kind of wanting to hear the dream in full detail but something about it did sound familiar but he couldn't figure out where he was going to ask what the girl looked like in her dream but pauses when Akeno screams from the kitchen that breakfast is ready.

Everyone then walks to the dining table and right on time Issei walks down the stairs for breakfast still looking completely exhausted. "This looks absolutely delicious Akeno but I'm afraid Issei may be too exhausted to taste the food," Akeno and Rias glance at Issei, he looked mentally and physically drained.

"Hey, Anos could you tone it done on Issei's training," Anos smirks, "training we haven't even started all he did was a warmup."

Rias looks to her brother in disbelief, "well could you tone down his warmup, I don't want me Issei to drop dead from exhaustion," Anos was about to say something but to his surprise and everyone else at the table except for Mittelt since she didn't care and Rin who only listens when Anos talks to her or about his world, "no I can take it.

At the moment I am the weakest link when Riser said all that stuff I was powerless to stop him but now that Anos is training me I feel like I can finally achieve the power I need to protect you.

Well, not just you everyone here so please president I can do this," Everyone had different expressions on their faces Rias was completely taken, Koneko and Kiba were smirking at his determination, and Asia and Koneko just smile at him warmly.

But the one Issei was looking at the moment was Anos and he just nods at accepting his determination, "fine but just don't go too far, I don't want you getting hurt." Issei nods with determination in his eyes, "yes ma'am."

Breakfast ends with Kiba and Koneko washing and putting away the dishes then everyone gathers in the front of the mansion waiting to start their week-long training.

At the moment Anos was in a communication circle talking to someone but he wouldn't say who, "okay are you on the way…okay cool well when you get here we will be in front of the mansion."

The communication nation disappears and Anos looks back to everyone else, "Kiba, Koneko, and Asia we will be starting your training now come with me. The rest of you stay here until I return this won't take long."

Anos then walks to a separate area of the mansion with the trio and after a good distance from everyone else Anos stops, "this should be far enough," he then turns around the trio, "okay now this will sound harsh but I will be telling you all of your weakness and I teach you on how to resolve those weaknesses."

Anos looks to Kiba first, "your main problem is your lack of creativity with your swords and your pride as a knight. When we fought yesterday I intentionally turned around multiple times and instead of attacking me, you repositioned yourself in front of me.

There is nothing wrong with being nice but you can't do that. In a real battle take every opportunity to win, now does that make sense?" Kiba nods reluctantly he couldn't deny Anos words had merit, "now when it concerns your swords you need to work creating more diverse swords."

"Do you have any ideas that I could use," "yea but I will leave that up to you to figure out." Anos then lifts his hands as a magic circle forms on the ground a few feet away from him off to the side.

A wooden soldier about the same height as Kiba rises from the magic circle with a wooden sword, "this wooden soldier will copy any sword you throw at it and become immune to any strikes you throw at it but be warned the wooden soldier will fight back as it learns your attack pattern."

Kiba nods and walks up to the wooden a soldier and creates a fire sword since wood works well against fire, and cuts the soldier in half burning it to ashes. Then a few seconds later a magic circle forms and under the ashes and the wooden soldier reforms, with a fire sword in hand and takes the same position that Kiba had when walking up to it causing Kiba to smirk.

Anos then turns his attention back to Asia and Koneko, "okay for you too, Koneko I assume you already know what I'm gonna say," Koneko nods, "I lack range attacks and if I can't get in close I am as good as dead. Plus I need to work on controlling my other abilities as well."

"Yes you are correct," hen then looks to Asia, "and as for you Asia you lack any offensive or defensive for a battle which makes sense since you are a healer. But that also makes you a liability since you can not defend yourself."

Asia grasps her hands together, "I'm sorry I just don't like hurting people I rather help them," Anos smirks and drops to a knee, "and there is nothing wrong with that but you must learn to defend yourself and an easy way to do that is learn how to create a barrier and learn some defensive combat and lucky for you Koneko is an excellent combatant."

Koneko nods and puts a thumb, "don't worry I won't go too hard on you." "Asia do you know how to make a magic barrier," Asia just shakes her head, "no I don't know how to use magic."

Anos smiles, "here follow my movements," Anos then lifts both his hands in front of him and Asia does the same, "now think of the strongest thing you know and think about that thing protecting you. Then once you do that focus on fusing magic."

Asia nods and closes her eyes and starts imagining Issei standing in front of her than a green magic circle forms"in front of her, "good now focus don't worry about trying to make it stronger just try and maintain it." But Anos noticed something interesting she wasn't struggling but seemed totally relaxed, "how are feeling Asai," "fine can I open my eye?"

Anos chuckles, "sure I thought this might be harder but it looks you might be a prodigy must be because of your bishop piece." Anos then lightly flicked the barrier and it cracks a little and when Aisa saw this and she apologized, "don't worry about it I was just testing the barrier now let's work on infusing magic into them."

Asia nods and starts to focus on putting magic into it, Anos then raises his hand to Koneko, and a target dummy forms in front of her, "use different ranged attacks on this test dummy.

Also, this test dummy is quite durable and it won't break unless hit by a strong attack." Koneko nods and takes a few steps away from the target dummy and lifts both her hands and a small blue flame forms are she fires it at the test dummy but it doesn't even leave a scratch, "no need to hold back I am here so don't worry about holding back."

Koneko nods reluctantly and does the same thing the fire was three times the size it was before but like last time test dummy didn't have a single scratch but she kept firing more shots with the fire getting larger and stronger with every shot.

Anos then turned back to Asia, "when you think you are ready to test your barrier ask Koneko to test it and if it cracks then that means you need to work on putting magic into it but if it breaks completely then you need to focus on maintaining the barrier."

Asia nods and looks back to her barrier and it starts to glow a little brighter and starts to walk away in the direction of where he left everyone else, "I will be back in two hours to check on your progress if you need something just yell and I will be here in a flash."

As Anos then walks back to everyone else then a magic circle forms and a female voice says, "I am here in the mansion but where is everyone else."

"Everyone is outside," "okay I am walking outside," the magic circle disappears and Anos looks at the mansion and sees his mother walking out of the door she waves to him and he waves back, "Anos who are you waving at?"

Rias then turns around and her eyes widen in surprise when she sees her mother, "hello Rias are you really that hurt to see me?" "No mother I just didn't expect you to be here and why are you here," Venelana then looks to Anos but to her confusion, he wasn't looking at her he was looking at a boy who was drooling at her.

"Anos dear why is this boy looking at me like that is he okay." Anos doesn't say anything and just snaps his fingers and the boy's eyes roll in the back of his head and his body goes limp.

"Don't worry about it," Venelana nods and glances at her daughter noticing that she has a worried look on her face while looking at the boy and she chuckles slightly, "well okay let's get started Rias."

Rias then looks back to her mother with a confused look, "wait…what do you mean," but Venelana then sadistic smirk forms on her face. "Well obviously I am here to train you," Rias then looks to her brother for help but he just a similar smirk, "don't worry sis mother will be a better teacher than me since she is the strongest woman in the underworld who can use the power of destruction."

Venelana then lifts her right hand to the sky and her body emits a red glow as her clothes change to a battle uniform with a medal staff in her hand.

Authors Note: Venelana's battle uniform is similar to Faora's battle armor from Zach Snyder's Man of steal. The main difference is she obviously doesn't have the mask just the armor and it is red instead of black. With the Beal family crest in the center of the cast plate.

Akeno, Mittelt, and Rias had surprised looks on their face, with Rin looking at her then back to Anos who just had a satisfied smirk on her face. Venelana then twirls the metal staff around then points it at Rias with Akeno and Mittelt taking a few steps back, "hey mom I'm not ready yet I need time to prepare."

Venelana playfully smiles at her daughter as the tip of the staff starts to glow red, Rias then looks to her brother with tears in her eye and he just shakes his head with a smirk.

In the whole underworld, there were only two people she swore she would never train with and those people were her brother and her mother because they didn't understand the meaning hold back.

That is why she only went to Sirzech's for help on her training with the power of destruction, the staff then starts to glow brighter and Rias just lifts her hands to form a barrier.

Then after the barrier erupted a large beam of the power of destruction shoots out the tip of the staff knocking Rias off her feet and straight into the forest behind her. She then extends her four pairs of wings and starts to hover off the ground and nods to her son with him nodding back then she shoots into the forest after her daughter.

Anos then looks to the last two he opens his mouth to say something but stops, "uh…Lord Anos will I be training with the thing to my left," Anos just raises his eyebrow, he knew Akeno hated Fallen but he suspected that she would put it behind her in the name of Rias.

Anos looks to Mittelt, "how do you feel about working with Akeno," Mittelt looks to Akeno and they both roll their eye then looks back to Anos, "well if I had a choice I wouldn't want to work with her but if I need to work with her to get stronger then I can put up with it." Anos nods then look back to Akeno she had her arms crossed and was glaring at Mittelt out the corner of her eyes, "well can you put up with it for Rias sake?"

Akeno sighs and looks back to Anos, "I don't know," Anos's eyes narrow making Akeno look away feeling guilty, "fine then you can go inside until you figure it out." He then walks away, "Mittelt come I going to have you train with Koneko."

Mittelt looks at Akeno she had a surprised look on her face and was just staring at Anos completely shocked, Mittelt shucks slightly jogs off to go catch up with Anos.

"Wait Lord Anos are you not going to train me as well," Anos stops walking and turns slightly, "if you can't put aside your anger for a little while so you can protect your friends then I don't have a reason to waste my time training you. But whenever you make up your mind let me know and I can start your training."

Anos turns around with Mittelt and Rin behind leaving behind a completely dumbstruck Akeno to her thoughts, "wait is he really not going to train me why…that isn't fair he already knows why I refuse to work with that."

Akeno clenches her fist as tears form in her eyes, she then turns toward another part of the forest to go train on her own. "Hey, Anos was that really the right thing to do…I mean I'm not upset. I'm just saying…" "if she doesn't want to put her past behind her for the sake of her best friend then I have reason to waste my time training her."

Mittelt just rubs the back of her head nervously, "I mean I guess but can't you make an exception." "No everyone else is fine with training with you but she wants special treatment," Anos then shakes his in disapproval, "I have ten days to get them ready and I don't have time to personally train two people."

The conversation ends when Kiba literally comes flying towards Anos with bruises all over his body, Kiba lands on his feet but he had an amused look on his face, "having fun Kiba."

Kiba turns back to Anos and nods yea, "at first he wasn't much of a challenge but that quickly changed when he started mirroring my moves and copying more of swords." Kiba then stands straight up cracking his neck and rolling his shoulders then created another sword then dashes back toward the wooden soldier.

Anos had a satisfied smirk on his face he then turns to Koneko she was shooting her blue fire at a barrier that Asia had in front of her but to his satisfaction, the barrier wasn't even cracking and appeared to be stronger than it was when she first started, "good it appears her barriers are getting stronger and it looks like Koneko's fire is getting stronger."

He then walks towards the duo with Mittelt, "hey do you guys mind if Mittelt trains with you guys," Koneko stops and looks toward Mittelt and nods with Asia agreeing, "sure I don't mind but I thought she was training with Akeno."

"She didn't want to train with Mittelt so brought her here and decided I won't train her until she decides to put her past behind her." Asia had a confused look on her face, "her past," but Anos drops the topic, "don't worry about it, for now, let's work on you creating two barriers just in case you have to protect yourself from two people."

A Few Minutes Later

Anos walks away after teaching Asia how to create two barriers and she now was working on defending herself from two attacks just in case she was ever in that situation. "Anos I have a question about the memories you have been showing me," Anos looks toward Rin slightly then back forward.

A while ago Anos created a spell that would allow Ophis to look at his memories, "I knew you would eventually." "What are your eyes of chaos, I have heard them mentioned numerous times but I have yet to see them or see you use them?"

Anos ponders the question for a while thinking if he should disclose one of his strongest abilities since the only ones who know are the individuals who were at the meeting eighteen years ago, "you do remember our agreement the information you find out goes to no one," she nods and he continues, "well ill tell you later I need to train Issei," "fine."

Anos and Rin walk up to Issei Anos lifts his hand to release the illusion but stops when the boosted gear forms on his hand, "Anos Gremory I have a question regarding your maid."

Anos doesn't react he had known that this illusion wouldn't work on some supernatural being, "yes what is it?" "She has the aura of a devil but I can tell that it is fake what is she really. She gives off the faint aura of a dragon."

Anos chuckles and looks to Rin she looks at Anos then they both look to the boosted gear, "well why don't you ask her yourself." "Well, girl who are you," Rin's eyes narrow and her eyes turn to slits, "have you really forgotten one of your dragon gods Ddraig."

There was an ominous silence for a few seconds, then there was a burst of loud laughter, "you want me to believe you Ophis…the infinite dragon god." Ddraig's voice then turns serious, "don't ever make that joke again Ophis would never subject herself to some hight class devil's maid."

Anos rubs his chin then looks at Ophis, "shall we prove it to him," Ophis doesn't say anything and just nods. Anos then outstretches his toward the green jewel and touches Ophis's shoulder with both of them closing their eyes and reopening them seconds later.

To see an enormous surprised red dragon, "what the hell how did you get in here," Ddraig then gets in a stance ready to attack, but Ophis steps in front of Anos as her dark purple aura illuminates the dark mindscape causing Ddraig to look at her in surprise.

He then calms down and in a more respectful tone says, "apologies Ophis I didn't know that it was actually you but why are you the maid of a high-class devil?" Ophis looks back to Anos non verbally seeing if he was okay with her telling the secret, "I'll let you explain."

Ddraig then looks to Anos curiously, "who are you? The only one who can enter sacred gears like this is the God of the Bible and I doubt that he would reincarnate himself as a devil?"

Anos smirks while placing his right hand on his hip, "well you are correct I am not the God of the Bible. But before Ophis reveals my true identity I will tell you what I told Ophis you must keep my true identity secret because at the moment there are only nine people who know?"

Ddraig then looks to Ophis and she nods letting him know that she agreed to this as well he then looks back to Anos, "fine I give you my word as a dragon that whatever Ophis says about your true identity will stay between us."

Anos nods with a satisfied smirk on his face then and leaves Ophis behind in the sacred gear.

On the outside, Anos waits a few minutes to Ophis to return and after a few minutes she does, "before you awaken Ddraigs host he has a question to ask you," Anos raises an eyebrow and reenters the sacred gear, "welcome back Anos Voldigoad I have a request of you."

Anos eyes narrow suspiciously curious as to what Ddraig could want with him although he did have a feeling as to what it could be, "what is it?" Ddraig exhales as smoke as smoke leaves his nostrils,"if what Ophis told me is correct then I belive that you have the power to release me from this sacred gear."

Anos raises his right eyebrow, "and what makes you think I would do that?" "If you release me I will indepted to you and you may request anything of me," Anos crosses his arms and ponders Ddraigs request. In theory if he studied the sacred gear he could figure out how to release Ddraig but he sees no value in releasing him and if he did release him that would cause problems since he was supposed to sealed away in the boosted gear.

"What will you do once I release you? Continue a pointless battle between your rival...get into other pointless battles and possibly be killed again or selead in something else?" Ddraig looks away and sighs, "honestly I don't even remember why me and Albion keep fighting...so I can't give you a decent answer."

Anos then shakes his head in disapproval, "plus releasing you would not further my plans of going home and releasing you could easlily hinder my own plans." Ddriag nods in understanding, "well I can't say releasing me would help you or not but if you ever desire my help I will never hesitete to give it to you."

Anos smirks, "interesting propostiton but Ophis said they same thing to me and I denied her but if you have a good enough reason for me to release you I will consider it."

Ddraigs nods in acceptance of that answer and curls back into a ball to go back to sleep while Anos leaves with Ophis, on the outiside Anos snaps his fingers with the illusion ending bringing Issei out of the illusion, as he drops to his with excitement in his eyes, "yes I'm free."

He then pauses as his eyes narrow after seeing a familiar face looking at him, "hey you put back in that place why," Anos eyes narrow as he looks at Issei unamused, "you look at my mother like that again…I will put you in a worse illusion."

Issei's sweat drops as his right eye twitches in fear, he then nods his head up and down, "yes sir I understand sir."

"Good now stand," Issei then jumps to attention as Anos circles him like a shark analyzing him very closely, "Issei I'm going to be blunt you are the most useless person in this peerage right," Issei doesn't dare move, and just continues to stand attention but a sad that he was the weakest person in the peerage.

Then Anos stops circling him and stops in front of him causing Issei to glue, "but with my help, I can make you into the strongest red dragon emperor this world has ever known."

Issei jumps for joy while pumping his fist, "fuck yea let's do this," "But we don't have two hundred years only ten days so I turn you into something more acceptable." Issei then stops jumping with a downcast expression, "now let's see how many boosts you are able to use now."

Issei then stands and reluctantly summons the boosted gear and starts boosting his power and after a few minutes he reaches his new of eight boosts, "good I see your power has increased slightly."

Anos then cracks his fingers as a sister smirk forms on his with him lifting up his, "hit me," Issei raises an eyebrow, "I want to see how much stronger you are now."

Issei nods and reels his arm back then punches Anos with all the strength in his body but to his surprise, Anos just looks at the gauntlet curiously analyzing his punch and the amount of power he just released.

"I see you definitely aren't close to awakening your balance breaker…oh well this is to be expected." Issei drops his hand and looks at Anos curiously, "balance breaker what's that," "that is a discussion for another time for now let's get to work."

Transition to the End of the Day

Anos had trained his sister peerage for the entire day and had them all completely exhausted except for Akeno who had spent the entire time training on her own but wasn't as exhausted as her peers.

For a full four hours, Rias spent her time running from her mother as she kept throwing the power of destruction at her making her run for her life. On top of her training after she was finished Anos had her come up with different plans on how to defeat Riser's peerage after watching all the videos.

So after all of that she was completely mentally and physically exhausted and it was only the first day and she got more distressed when she found out her mother would handling her physical training for the next seven days.

For Kiba, he was in worse shape but unlike Rias, he was satisfied with how his training went because thanks to Anos he created two new swords but still felt uneasy about attacking an opponent from the back but after speaking with Anos he made him change his mind.

Plus while fighting the wooden soldier he was able to sharpen his swordsmanship since he hasn't been able to practice with a good opponent since leaving the underworld.

For Asia, to everyone's surprise, she had excelled very well at creating barriers but she still had trouble staying focused and that only increased when she had to keep two barriers up at the same time but was slowly getting the hang of it.

Mittelt and Koneko then both spent their time focusing on putting more power into their lighting and fire attacks respectfully but didn't really progress like the others since they didn't really do anything else but after five hours of constantly firing off magical attacks they both were completely exhausted as well.

Lastly was Issei he had spent the entire day with Anos personally training him first they tried to see if Issei could any elemental magic but he couldn't so then a moved on to working on his physical abilities since the more physically stronger he got the more boost he could use.

So Anos taught Issei some easy fighting techniques he could use to defend himself and also taught him some good ways to avoid being hit. Another thing he worked on was evasion which entailed him running away from Anos while trying not to get blown up by magic and for some reason, Ddraig kept laughing in amusement and excitement saying.

"Saying this is excellent training at first I thought this would be a waste of time but now I can see if you indeed train with him for two hundred years you could definitely become the strongest of my host to ever live."

Hearing this numerous times filled Issei with hope but also a little fear since Anos didn't know how to hold back since any time he shot magic at him he would always hit him causing Issei's painful screams to ring out through the forest.

Currently, everyone was in the living room laying in different spots with Issei on the floor, Koneko laying on Anos lap, Kiba was almost passed out on the couch, and with Rias laying her head on her brother's shoulder fast asleep while muttering stuff like, "no mommy," or "please just give me a few seconds of rest before you shoot me."

Mittelt just like Koneko wasn't as tired as the others but still was feeling exhausted as well laying on the floor next to Asia with them both sitting back to back.

Akeno then walks into the living room after cooking breakfast by herself since Asia was too tired to help but it was fine she kind of wanted to be alone after Anos denied training her after saying she didn't want to train with Mittelt.

So because of that Anos had made up a new training regiment for tomorrow but it could change if Akeno decided to join in the training session. "Hey guys I'm glad you like my cooking but you guys stink you should take a bath," everyone glances at Akeno standing in front of the hallway leading to the outdoor bath.

Anos then moves his shoulder waking Rias upon his shoulder to her discomfort, "hey what are you doing," "you should take a bath then head to bed?" Rias rolls over and reluctantly gets up and taps Koneko to get her to wake but Koneko was awake the whole time, "hey Anos would you like to join us…I can wash your back?"

Anos looks down while rubbing her head, "no you guys go on ahead," Koneko puffs out her cheeks to pout then gets up reluctantly. Rias then walks over to both Mittelt and Asia sitting on the floor, "hey come on guys let's take a bath it's getting late."

Both girls nod and get up but Mittelt glances at Akeno and she had a disapproved look in her eyes, "I have something to discuss with Anos I'll take one later." Rias nods as she walks to the outdoor bath with Asia following her, Kiba then walks to Issei laying unconscious on the floor and kicks him softly but doesn't get a reaction out of him.

So he just bends down and picks him up barely waking him up in the process, "come on you smell worse than any of us so you need to take a bath." Issei just groans as he walks toward the bath with Kiba leaving Mittelt, Anos, and Rin in the living room to themselves.

"So Mittelt what do you want to talk about," Mittelt then sits down next to Anos as Rin continues to stand in silence as she goes through more memories in her head. "Actually I don't have anything to talk about, Akeno didn't seem too happy about me showering with them," Anos nods and glances back to where Akeno was standing, "well you aren't wrong."
