Chapter 5: Training Camp and the Promise
It was morning and everyone in the ORC (Occult Research Club), Sanatos, and Grayfia are walking on a mountain path.
Takashi, who has Asia and Sanatos walking next to him as he carried a large backpack filled with supplies, asks Rias ", were are we going, Buchou?"
"We are going to an estate my family owns so that no one will noticed us using our powers. Also Takashi, do not use your sacred gears without my permission," Rias said from the front of the group.
"Ok, Buchou," Takashi said through the fatigue from carrying the bag. He then noticed that Yuuto and Koneko were carrying bigger bags and not tired from the work.
Everyone continued walking until they got to a mansion. Everyone entered and looked for their rooms. After everyone got settled in, they changed into their school gym clothes and met in the front yard.
"Ok, everyone. I want to spend this day getting Takashi and Asia used to the basics then spend the rest of the time training," Rias said with determination on her face and in her voice.
"Let's get going," Takashi said eagerly. He caught a wooden sword that was suddenly tossed to him by Yuuto.
"Why not start with some sword practice," Yuuto said as he got into a sword stance.
While watching the sparring match between Takashi and Yuuto, Grayfia said to Rias ", Rias-sama, after today, I will supervise Takashi-sama's training."
"That would be best. You are the only one who can teach Takashi about his powers as a Lucifer," Rias said in reply.
After the sparing match Takashi and Asia meet Akeno in the dining room. On the table is a glass bottle halfway filled with water.
"I'm going to teach you two how to use magic," Akeno said with her usual smile. She lifted her hand until it was over the glass bottle. A magic circle appeared in her had as the water expanded and turned into ice in an instant. "Now, Takashi-kun. Asia-chan. To use magic you need to first imagine what you want to do, then focus your energy into what you are imagining. I want you to imagine a ball of energy in your hands. This is a basic exercise," is what Akeno said to the new members of the Gremory household.
The two beginners did what they were told. Asia got the knack for it quickly and formed a green ball the size of a golf ball.
"Akeno-san," Takashi said in a worried tone.
The black haired senpai looked over to see Takashi holding a silver ball the size of a large beach ball. "Oh my, oh my. Takashi-kun you seem to have a great talent for magic," Akeno said as she put her hand on her cheek.
"Takashi-san, you're amazing," Asia said in congratulation to the silver haired boy.
"Thanks, Asia," Takashi said in thanks.
After the magic lesson. Takashi is having a sparring match with Koneko. Well it's not really sparring, more like Takashi getting his ass kicked.
It was after breakfast the next day when Takashi left with Grayfia and Sanatos to go train. The trio walked through the woods until they got to a clearing.
"Takashi-sama, starting today I will be guiding your training for the Rating Game," Grayfia said to the young Lucifer.
"Ok. Where do we start," Takashi asked the maid?
"We will start with the Lucifer family power, Demonic Light," Grayfia said with her usual straight face.
"Demonic Light," Takashi asked with a confused look on his face?
"If you master it you will be immune to the weapons of light made by angels and fallen angels," Grayfia said in explanation to Takashi.
"So what do I do first," Takashi asked?
"Concentrate your magic into your right hand as a small ball," Grayfia instructed.
While Takashi was training with Grayfia and Sanatos, Rias was watching over the others training. Yuuto and Koneko were sparring with each other while Akeno was teaching magic to Asia. They were interrupted by a large tremor.
"What was that," Yuuto asked in surprised?
"It came from the direction that Takashi-senpai is training," Koneko said with her usual stone face.
"Takashi," Rias yelled as she ran towards the direction of her Pawn!
Everyone fallowed her. When they got there they could see a large crater with Grayfia and Sanatos standing at the edge of it. They ran to the edge of the crater and looked down into it. What they saw was Takashi covered in smoke and in torn up gym cloths.
"Takashi are you ok," Rias said as she and Asia slide down into the crater?
"I'm ok," Takashi said in response.
"What happened," Asia asked as Twilight Healing appeared on her hands as she began to heal Takashi's wounds from the blast?
"I was practicing my family's magic, then boom," Takashi said as he rubbed some dirt off his face.
Grayfia flew down with her wings. "I was afraid this would happen so I prepared this," she said as she took out an armband with magic runes on it from one of her pockets.
"What is it," Takashi asked with a curious tone as he examined the armband?
"This armband will limit how much Demonic Light you can produce. More you master it greater the distance and amount you can make. Right now at most you can produce the light from your hands but can't make projectiles," Grayfia said to Takashi, who nodded in understanding.
"Is there anything else I need to know," Takashi said as he took the armband and put it on his right upper arm?
"I have set it up so that the armband will hide your identity, we cannot have the fact that you are a Lucifer be known right now. Unfortunately you will not be able to use your devil wings," Grayfia replied to the question.
"That's fine. I'm used to using Divine Dividing anyway," Takashi said as he looked over at Sanatos. "Hey, can we use familiars in the Rating Games," Takashi asked?
"Yes, familiars can be used in Rating Games. Why you ask," Rias said in confusion?
Takashi smiled as he said ", oh, nothing. I just got an idea."
Rias decided to call it a day and everyone returned to the mansion. Everyone waited in the dining room as Grayfia prepared diner.
After everyone was done eating, Rias said ", time for a bath. Want to join us, Takashi?"
Takashi nearly fell out of his chair at the question Rias asked.
"Asia, do you mind if Takashi joined us," Rias asked the blonde haired girl?
"I don't mind," Asia said with a blush forming on her face as Takashi stood up in surprise to the response.
"Akeno," Rias asked the smiling beauty?
"Not at all. I would love to wash Takashi-kun's back," Akeno said as she licked her lips. Takashi then did one of those anime shock poses as blood began to flow from his nose.
"Koneko," Rias asked her rook?
"No," Koneko plainly stated.
Takashi fell over with an expression of 'thank god' and 'dammit' on his face.
"Sorry, Takashi. Maybe next time," Rias said as she and the girls left for the bath.
The rest of the training camp went smoothly, except the occasional explosion or two.
It was night after a day of training when Takashi got back to the mansion. When he entered he saw Rias coming down the stairs in a silk night gown with a book in her hand.
"Buchou, you're still up," Takashi asked his master?
Rias looked over to Takashi and said ", yes, I'm reading about strategy for the Rating Game. Do you mind talking with me for a bit?"
"No, not at all," Takashi said to Rias. The two of them went out into a garden behind the mansion.
"Why was I born as Rias Gremory," Rias said in an angered tone.
"What do you mean, Buchou," Takashi asked his master?
"I am seen as Rias Gremory, the heiress of the Gremory clan. I have to live up to the expectations of my family. And because of that I am not seen as Rias. A normal teenage girl, who wants to fall in love with someone who loves me for me, not because of my family," Rias said in a sad tone.
While rubbing the back of his head with a blush, Takashi said ", Buchou, you will always be yourself to me. To me you are Rias, my first friend and someone very close to my heart. I would gladly risk my life for your happiness and safety."
Rias looked at Takashi with a surprised look and a small blush. "Thank you, Takashi," Rias said with a smile filled with joy.
"Buchou, I promise you that I will beat Riser and give you back your freedom," Takashi yelled with determination in his voice! The next thing he knew was the feeling of soft lips pressed against his own.
Rias broke the kiss. "Thank you, Takashi. You just gave me the courage to face this head on. And for your reward I gave you my first kiss," Rias said with a smile.
"Your first kiss," Takashi said in shock with a blush on his face.
"You deserve it Takashi. I know you can beat Riser. Not because of your blood or sacred gears but because of who you are," Rias said in a loving tone as she moved Takashi's head between her breasts.
"Buchou," Takashi said but it was muffled by Rias's breasts.
"Takashi, promise me that you will not do anything reckless," Rias asked as she let go of Takashi's head?
"I promise, Buchou," Takashi said with his blush getting bigger.
It was the day before the game, Rias decided to check up on everyone's' progress.
"Takashi. Yuuto. I want you to two spar. I give you both permission to use your sacred gears," Rias said with determination.
"Yes, Buchou," the two boys of the Gremory said as they summoned their respective sacred gears.
"Yuuto-kun, you start," Takashi said as he and Yuuto got into their battle stances.
"You better not regret that, Takashi-kun," Yuuto said as he vanished in a blur.
"Boost," yelled the Boosted Gear as Takashi held his left hand up, fingers spread open.
"Protector Shade," Takashi yelled as a field of black light came from his open hand as Yuuto's sword collided with it.
"What," Yuuto said in shock as he backed away from Takashi when the field vanished.
"Protector Shade, a wall of light is formed from my hand to block attacks. I came up with this so I can defend myself," Takashi said with a grin.
"That's quite innovative, Takashi," Rias said with her arms crossed.
"I also have this," Takashi said as his hand became covered in black light. He then rushed Yuuto, who moved out of the way in response. Takashi's attack then hit the ground, causing an explosion.
Yuuto just stared at where Takashi's attack hit. The area looked like a waste land. "What was that," he asked?
"Broken Magnum. It's just a powered up punch," Takashi said as he went back into a battle stance.
"You two can stop there. Just from seeing this, I can tell that Takashi has improved a lot from just throwing his power around," Rias said with a smile.
"Buchou, I had more stuff to show you," Takashi said to Rias.
"It's fine Takashi. If you came up with stuff like that I believe we can win against Riser," Rias said as she put her hand on the silver haired boy's cheek, who formed a blush on his face.
"Rias-sama, should I start to prepare to leave," Grayfia asked?
"Yes. Ok everyone ready to win," Rias asked her servants?
They all yelled in agreement as they cheered.
THE END
Dark-K: what do you think of the Demonic Light power? I came up with it from the fact in the original theology Lucifer fell from heaven. But Demonic Light is not the only power Takashi has as a Lucifer, so you all have to wait and see. For Takashi's moves I used the moves from the main robot of the King of Braves Gaogaigar series.
