Lack of reviews, huh? Surprising...
Here's the next episode! Enjoy!
Issei, all well and standing, was walking beside Asher, who was carrying a large backpack full of things needed for the club's trip. He had offered to carry the bag (just to impress Issei), so he had to. She wore her hair in a ponytail and wore a yellow jacket, a red tank top underneath, short jean shorts, and sneakers. He wore a plain light-blue shirt, a pair of khaki shorts, and sneakers. He was sweating and panting.
"Uh, Asher-kun, are you going to be alright carrying all of that?" she asked him, a bit worried for his well-being.
He chuckled and smiled at her. "No...I'm fine...Issei-san..." he replied through pants.
"I mean, if you want some help-"
"No! I'm fine! Honest!" She smiled at him and looked down at his chest. Since he was sweating, his light-blue shirt was almost see-through, outlining his semi-well-toned abs. She blushed a little before looking away.
Yes! Issei-san's looking at them! the former priest thought happily. And she smiled at me!
"Come on, you two!" shouted Richard from far. He wore a light-tan collared shirt, a blue tank top underneath, dark brown chino shorts, and hiking shoes. "Hurry up!"
Akihiko, drinking from a handmade water fountain, sipped the water and shouted to them, "The water's delicious!" He wore a light-tan jacket, a white tank top underneath, a pair of relaxed jeans, and sneakers.
"Yes, sir!" the two devils shouted back.
"I'll be going on ahead, if you two don't mind," Yumi said before walking right past them. She wore a red tank top, short brown shorts, and flip-flops. She was also carrying a large bag full of things needed for the trip as well as a plastic bag in her hand. However, she managed to walk with all of that like it was nothing.
Issei pouted at her. "Stop showing off, princess!" She felt jealous that she could carry all of that and walk with ease. Maybe she'll show off to her by helping Asher with the supplies.
"Excuse me," said Kabu as he carried a MUCH larger backpack full of things the club needs for the trip and walked like he was carrying nothing. He was wearing a varsity jacket, a pair of jeans, and sneakers. Both Issei and Asher looked shock at the sight, making the blonde-haired male fall down on the backpack.
"Ugh, now we'll just be more slower..." he grumbled. However, he saw Issei hold out a hand for him.
"Come on, we can beat these show-offs," she encouraged. He blushed a little at her generosity, but smiled and grabbed her hand, standing up. Suddenly, she managed to squeeze in next to Asher and carry one strap of the backpack on her shoulder. He looked puzzled. "Issei-san?"
"Whoa! This is heavy..." she exclaimed, trying to stand. She looked at him with a confident smile. "D-don't worry, Asher-kun! I'll help you carry this!" He smiled at her, feeling more attracted to her and her personality.
As the two tried to walk with the bag together, Richard smiled, feeling great that Issei was generous. However, the club was taking the trip for a reason...
In the clubroom the past day, the female pervert was laid on a couch, Asher sitting next to her and healing her entire body with his powers. He looked pained to see Issei hurt like this. Everyone else just stood and watched, Richard still looking pained at the sight.
"The game will be held in 10 days," Grafier told the red-haired male.
He looked at him. "10 days?" he asked him.
He nodded. "Given the differences between the experience and resources of Risa-sama and you, I believe it would be necessary to level the playing field."
Richard looked back at Issei again. "I hate to admit it, but I agree," he replied before turning his face from pained to serious. "I'm going to take up your offer and use the time to train."
Isa... Richard thought as he saw her and Asher panting and sweating together. I'll use this training trip to make you stronger. A LOT stronger...
Episode 9: I Begin Training!-Part 1
The entire club arrived at their destination: a lovely ivory mansion with a glistening pond and a stargazing platform near it. Both Issei and Asher looked awed at the sight.
"W-wow!" he interjected. "This looks...pretty!"
"Let's get inside and start training right away," Richard said.
Issei shot back a little, almost tipping both her and the Bishop down before regaining their balance. "Tr-training?!" she exclaimed to him. "Y-you're a monster, President!"
He turned to her and smirked. "I'm not a monster, Isa," he replied jokingly. "I'm a devil."
Yeah...still... she thought before pouting. Although the training has been useful to her, that didn't mean she liked it...
The boys began to undress when they were inside in a room. Richard took off his pants while shirtless, showing his yellow trunks outlining his butt and underbulge. Akihiko and Kabu took off their shirts. Akihiko was halfway through taking it off, showing off his well-toned abs. Kabu had his shirt off, showing his chest. Asher also took off his pants while shirtless, showing his white boxer briefs outlining his average-sized bulge.
In a separate room, Issei also took off her clothes, her white underwear in plain sight. She didn't like undressing with another girl such as Yumi though. She always felt awkward doing so. Something about the time they were in the church popped into her head. She looked at Yumi...who was shirtless...wearing a lace bra...the female pervert couldn't help but sweat-drop at the sight. She wasn't surprised Yumi wore that kind of underwear.
"Hey, Kiba," she said to her. "Back when we were at the church, you said something about hating fallen angels and nuns." She remembered the pretty girl's quote:
"And personally, I'm not fond of fallen angels, priests, and nuns myself. I despise them all."
While Yumi was getting a tank top to wear with her track pants, she replied, "Just like with you and Asher-kun, the President also helped us. That's why we have to win this game." She looked at her ally, closed her eyes, and smiled. "Is that right?"
The brown-haired girl nodded and clenched her fists. "Yeah, of course that's right!" She was surprised she wasn't ripping on Yumi, almost like if she were a friend to her...
Outside in the lawn of the mansion, everyone was dressed in track clothes. Issei was holding a practice sword as Yumi did. Both were distanced from each other. "Lesson one," the blonde-haired beauty said.
"I hope I can do this right..." the brown-haired pawn whispered to herself, encouraging herself. She then let out a battle cry and charged to Yumi, swinging her sword at her. She managed to block every swing with ease.
"This is not about just swinging your sword," she explained to her. "Watch your opponent and their surroundings." As Issei swung her sword once more, Yumi dodged it and knocked it out of her hands by her practice sword, surprising her.
Just like what a knight would do... Issei thought, still surprised by Yumi's action.
"Keep up. Don't let your guard down!" She then tapped her head with the sword, making her grab it with her two hands. She looked at her with an annoyed face.
But you're still an unlikable princess...
Akihiko, Issei, and Asher were inside and in what looked like a dining room. "Lesson two," the raven-haired man said. "Direct your entire body's aura flow to one area so you can concentrate your magic." With a nod, the brown-haired female extended her arm out, trying to do what Akihiko told her to do, but was failing. She was shaking and was trying too hard to do so. Asher was doing the same thing as well, only he looked relaxed while doing it.
With a chuckle, the dark-haired devil walked next to her and traced up her arm and hand with his fingers, causing her to blush and him to say, "Focus your mind and feel the flow of magic~." For her, it seemed very hard to do that when he traced her arm like th-
"I did it!" Asher exclaimed happily. The two of them looked and saw him hold a green orb of magic. Akihiko smiled at him.
"Eeto, eeto~," he interjected with joy. "It looks like Asher-kun has a talent for magic~!"
Issei did feel great for him, but felt jealous as well. Se looked away and smiled nervously. "Well, I'm glad that Asher-kun is getting stronger!" she stated.
...
Later, a bottle of water appeared on the table. Akihiko managed to shake the water in the bottle and make them freeze up, the bottle having holes in it. Both the Pawn and the Bishop gasped in amazement.
"Amazing!" exclaimed Issei.
"Once you get used to magic, you can manipulate things such as fire, water, or lightning," the raven-haired male explained to the both of them. He looked at the blonde-haired male. "Asher-kun, this is what you'll be practicing next."
Asher smiled and replied, "Sure thing!"
The Queen then looked at the perverted devil. "Issei-chan, you could continue focusing your magic."
She frowned a little, but nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
"The source of your magic is from your imagination. Forming a clear image in your head is essential."
Issei put a finger on her forehead. "A clear image?"
He nodded. "Yes~." She then began to think more clearly. "That's right. Keep going~. Concentrate~." When she looked up at him though, she began to imagine him shirtless, revealing his sculpted abs and pecs. She began to blush really hard, but got it away and shook her head.
"Gah! What am I thinking?!" she muttered to herself embarrassingly.
"What's wrong, Issei-chan~?" Akihiko asked as he leaned towards her. Her blush returned, looking under his white shirt to see his pecs and abs.
"Oh-um-n-nothing!" she replied. "I'll do my best next time!"
In a forest near the mansion, Issei was punched, making the trees and bushes rustle while she was flying, and hit a tree. Kabu, the person who punched her, said, "Lesson three." He was distanced from her. He had the permission to punch her for training and she insisted, so he decided to go all out with her. "Weak," he commented.
The female pervert stood up and shook her head, charging towards the white-haired shouta. "I'm just getting started!" she yelled. As she swung her fist at him though, he dodged, kicked her head, and brought her head into a headlock with his feet. Both landed on the ground.
"Aim for your opponent's body line of symmetry," he explained to her as she was struggling to get out of his lock, despite the nice feeling on his small bulge... "And try to deliver a deep, precise blow."
...
When evening came, the female devil was thrown at the bottom of a very short hill. She sat up and cried, "Damn it! Why can't I stand a chance against Kiba or Kabu-kun?! And why is Asher-kun better at magic than I am?!" She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "I'm worthless..." Her confidence slowly began to shrink. She did feel as if she were a lost cause.
"As much I hate to admit it, you're not," the shouta said as he went on the edge of the very small cliff and knelt down to look at her. "Everyone has their specialty."
She looked up to him with a puzzled face. "Specialty?" she asked. "Then what is mine?"
His small bulge can be seen, outlined by the tight shorts he was wearing. "You're a perverted girl," he replied. She sighed. "But you're one other thing too: a hard worker." She looked up at him once again, surprised that he, himself, said that about her positively. She felt her confidence build up in her again. He was true about her working hard.
"R-really?" she asked him happily before standing up. "I'll try really hard then, Kabu-kun!"
He smiled at her, something rare to see of him, at least to Issei herself. "Alright. Come." She nodded as she climbed up the hill and ran to him, letting out a battle cry. However, she was beaten by him once again...
"Lesson four," Richard said...in a kitchen. Both the Pawn and the Bishop were wearing aprons, both of them puzzled.
"We're using magic..." she began to ask.
"...to cook food?" the blonde-haired guy finished.
"Do you what you can. Good luck." The crimson-haired male then waved at them and left the kitchen. The two of them began to do what they were told.
"Water, boil!" Asher commanded a pot of water as he hovered his hand over it. The green energy emitted out of his hand and began to heat up the water, surprising Issei and even himself.
The brown-haired girl only looked at an onion sadly. She began to remember that during Akihiko's lesson... I could only conjure a mere speck of magic... she thought before her usual lecherous face came on, thinking about his abs. But thinking about his chest makes me so- Suddenly...the onion she had in her hand unpeeled by itself, surprising the two cooking devils. Wait, what? She then grabbed a potato and thought about Akihiko's chest, making its skin unpeeled completely. She gasped and smiled.
"Wow, this is actually really easy!" she stated in glee. She finally did something right for once during her training!
"That's awesome, Issei-san!" Asher commented, his face filled with awe.
She giggled and posed confidently with the potato. "I just wasn't in form earlier! This is my true power!"
"Amazing!"
She giggled once again and grabbed another onion, looking at it and focusing. "I think this might have happened before..." she muttered, imagining the abs once again. The onion unpeeled once more. She gasped. "Just like when my Sacred Gear first activated..." She remembered hitting Galanaki with the blast of energy, ripping all of his clothes off. She grinned and looked at the onions and potatoes. "With this power..." All of the onions unpeeled. "I might..." The potatoes then unpeeled. "Become invincible!"
"Uh, Issei-san..." the former priest said to her as he tapped her shoulder. She snapped out of it and saw that the entire kitchen was littered with peels. Her eyes widened. "What should we do about this?"
Good question... she replied in her mind, aghast that she made quite the mess.
Done! What do you think?
