Life: 21
I was approached today by Issei with a stride in his step. He looked to be on cloud nine as he held slunk over to me with a goofy grin on his face and long exaggerated steps with a picture of Raynare on his phone in hand.
"Sallos, this is Yuma she's my girlfriend and the best part is she asked me." He boasted and I looked at the picture of Raynare.
"Okay, I'm happy for you." I say with a smile and his smirk loosens.
"Aren't you jealous?" He asked and I tilted my head.
"Why would I be jealous?" I asked with a raised brow.
He didn't seem to like my question as he looked insulted.
"Yeah right. I know you don't mean it." Issei crossed his arms in anger, I just rolled my eyes at the display before looking at him directly in the eye.
"Enough of that Issei, would you mind talking to me in private there is something I need to discuss with you." I say using the hypnosis ability of devils along with the Fated King.
"Sure, I see no reason why not." He droned out with a dazed look in his eyes.
I'm not sure why this ability didn't get used more in canon, using it with my Fated King power made it a Jedi mind trick just waiting to happen. Anyway, we walked to the club room ignoring the various whispers from the crowd that followed. Upon entering the club room I had Issei take a seat and brought out the device I had Leo make for me.
"Now sleep." I say and Issei immediately falls unconscious.
Now it's time to get to work. I attach the device to Issei and start it up, before long the boosted gear appeared on his left hand that I quickly remove from his arm. I check Issei to make sure he was still breathing and upon seeing that he was I take the device off of him. I place the boosted gear on and feel as it melds with my soul.

This speed is equated to instantaneous movement, and for everything that enters into his field of vision, the distance between the player and his target can be closed instantly!
Interesting I'll have to experiment a little later but for now I should get Issei out of here and to class or the infirmary. I'll also alter his memories so he won't recall this.
Following the end of the day I decided to use the boosted gear. It seems that my stats themselves don't double but rather their value has, as I can feel the difference. Speaking of which it seems my interference has completed my quest.
Quest Complete!

I can only assume what will happen next that now that Issei is no longer the protagonist to this story. How has my existence utterly fucked up the plot I wonder? Not that I should focus solely on such matters, I have other things I need to do first.
"So the device works perfectly." I inform Leo who looks at me for a moment before realizing what I had just said.
"Wait you mean to tell me that you actually used it already?" He asked and I nodded in confirmation.
"Used it on Issei Hyoudou this morning." I say and Sairaorg looked confused.
"Why him?" He asked and in response I held up my left arm and allowed the boosted gear to appear.
"Gentleman I would like to introduce you all to the boosted gear." I say smiling causing the two of them to do a double take.
"The boosted gear? That's the sacred gear the pervert had this whole time?" Sairaorg spoke in disbelief.
"What have I done?" Leo bemoaned when I revealed the sacred gear to him.
"I thought you were going to use it on the vigilante as a last resort." He held his head in his hands.
"Oh I am." I say before dismissing the sacred gear.
"Then I intend to give the sacred gear to Sairaorg afterwards." I say causing the aforementioned devil to point to himself.
"Me? Why?" He asked and I place a hand on his shoulder.
"Because it would suit you the most. And I'm not about to let something so valuable slip through my fingers again." I say and he nods in understanding.
"This is madness." Leo mutters to himself.
"Relax, I only plan on using it once more on the vigilante and then never again." I say and he becomes relieved at that for a moment.
"Because after that I intend to use it as a bargaining chip." And immediately he grabs his head in aggitiation.
"You can't be serious?" Leo asks and I smile.
"Yes I am. Look it might not be what you had intended for the device but as it stands it could prevent a lot of unnecessary bloodshed, you managed to create a method in which a sacred gear can be safely removed without resulting in the death of the user. That's a big accomplishment. As it stands this could have the potential of opening a dialogue with the forces of heaven and the grigori." I say and he starts to raise up at hearing that with a starry eyed expression.
"You're right! I could very well be the man that brings peace to the three factions on account of my invention!" Leo beams and I raise my arms up.
"I don't know about that but it could help in the right direction." I say and he coughs into his hand.
"Right of course. I simply got a little excited is all." He said only to have Sairaorg give him a slap on the back.
"That's our Leo always thinking ahead." The Bael heir said causing me to chuckle.
"So true." I agree much to my Bishop's embarrassment.
"Now if you don't mind me I have a meeting with four fallen angels." I say before taking off in a teleportation circle before any of them could say anything.
I appeared just a few meters away from the church right next to Regulus, who looked surprised at my sudden entrance.
"Master?" The orange haired boy looked surprised at seeing me appear.
"Regulus, you've done a good job so far." I say with one of my smiles on my face to reassure him that this wasn't a negative visit.
"I live to serve." He said taking a bow.
"No need for that." I waved off.
"Right now I simply need you to be ready to storm the church should I give the signal. I intend to seek an audience with the fallen in town and have a chat with em." I say and he looks up with his arms wide open.
"Surely I should accompany you to better guard you." He suggested but I had to shake my head.
"I'm afraid that I can't let you do that this time around Regulus. Like I said before, wait for my singal if you would." I say and he nods albeit reluctantly.
Having established my fail safe, I head to the church were upon opening it up I was greeted by the four fallen angels.
"Who the hell are you?" Kalawarner asked glaring at my abrupt arrival.
"Wait I know him!" Mittlet said shooting up upon seeing me.
"That's magical boy Bari-tan!" She declared happily.
"Can I have an auto-graph I'm like your biggest fan." She said and I smile at that.
"Maybe later right now I need to speak with the four of you about more serious matters." I say before turning to raynare who I believed to be the de facto leader of the group.
"And what would that be?" She asked sneering at me.
"Well that would be simple. I would like a word with your leader, Azazel." I say causing the four of them to look amongst themselves.
AN: I know short chapter please don't be mad. Anyway Barisol now has the boosted gear meaning Issei really has no reason to be in this story from here on out. Anyway, next chapter will involve a meeting with Azazel and Barisol talking with Ddraig.
But there is something that someone brought up to my attention. Lemons. Do you guys want me to try and write some? If so who first? If not let me know why.
Anyway let's move onto answering some reviews.
Illumi22: here you go and thanks for the review and I agree there are too many fics out there where they stick to canon too closely. I can understand keeping some things the same but when you just retread the same material with a different character that doesn't change anything it kinda gets boring after a while.
narutoxasuna25: Thanks I'm glad you like it!
Harbinger of Mayhem: Means a lot to hear that. I honestly like writing those bits the most but they are also the parts that make me the most nervous out of fear of it coming off as forced, good to know that it's organic and natural that saves me a few dozen heart attacks, joking of course.
Hoxto: Fun fact I already use a d20 for the gacha, as well as a d6, d4, d100, ect. But thanks for suggesting it and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
TheSixTails: Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to this, it could be fun writing how he gets different class cards that end up making him stronger or he gives them to other members of his Peerage. To be honest I didn't really intend to give Barisol Achilles noble phantasm that just what I rolled but I think it would be cool to gain the whole package so maybe depending on a few things. Also I don't think Atalanta will be a member of Barisol's Peerage but she could always appear depending on what rolls I get.
orion399: Probably not, unless Barisol shows him the fate he saved Ddraig from, you know, avoiding being known as the Oppai Dragon and what not.
Loke13: Thanks!
Mrsiri: He does, I should probably say it here for everyone but skills and spells are different.
sykartracer: Man if the game AI could be seen I know for a fact it would do something like that just to screw with Barisol.
The One True Demon Lord: Thanks for the suggestions! As for your questions, first maybe depending on how many people want me to. Second yes I am, I just happened to roll a nat 20 twice now, which I use for servants and other broken characters. Third, I would love nothing more then to write that because honestly it bugs the hell out of me as well.
OechsnerC: Thanks and here you go.
NazgulBelserion: Here's more hopefully it does the trick (:
Nayrcon: No problem!
Yousef wick: Man its scary how many things you've put on that are things I'm actually going to put in. Can you read my mind? not that I'm complaining. Also don't apologize for the long review I love them. And yes he does have a familiar he'll also be gaining more in the future.
Shadic21: Thanks!
Maxinonor: Thats a good idea, I could see that happening too. I like it.
Guest: Thanks for the reminder.
belamy20: It has been taken!
