Chapter 3: Issei's gets some training
"Wait are you trying to tell me that I'm not actually an orphan and I was kidnapped. As a child." Millacus asked.
"Yes, you were kidnapped by a bunch Magician's. For years big Brother and father have been searching for you to no avail. We finally gave up a believed they killed you to spite big brother. As he is the one who succeeded the throne of Lucifer, and the changes made to the underworld aren't liked by all." Rias explained
"I see, well why would it be your fault. If I was kidnapped it would have been my own fault for being too weak to defend myself." Millacus stated
"You weren't taken in a fight the used a drug to knock you unconscious in a sneak attack. Though I would like to know what you've been doing the last seven years, and how come your aura is less than a fraction of what it used to be, your aura used to be 5 times what mine is now. Now yours is about a fifth of mine." Rias asked
"As I told Sona are you sure why automatically assume that this is my full power, did you sense the massive power release this morning? That was 10% of my true power. For you see I always suppress my power, though these days I've been lax in my suppression if I wasn't you would sense a thing. I could stand right next to you and you wouldn't notice me unless you were looking at me actually." Millacus told her
"You mean that Massive Power was yours and not even half of your true power. Looks like your dangerous if you're that stealthy. Good thing I'm not a target of yours or I would be crushed in a second. Wait here while I contact big brother and father and mother they'll be relieved you're still alive." Rias said
"Unfortunately I must ask you not to do that. As we're not even 100% sure that I am Millacus Gremory. Also I would rather avoid the supernatural as much as possible, as I'm trying to live an as normal as possible life. I kind of owe it to the one that helped me escape my personal hell I went through the last seven years. If given basic information about what I went through to Sona, I really don't want to repeat it as honestly I would rather forget everything what happened no that island hence me distancing myself from the supernatural." Millacus explained.
"If you want I can tell just Father and Mother they would be happy to keep your existence secret. If it's to keep you happy so long as you remain safe they will be happy to oblige with something like that as all they would want is to have you back. By the way even if you've been through hell you are no longer there so don't be afraid to be yourself." Rias told him
"We haven't seen each other in seven years, not to mention the fact that I don't even remember my past, so how do you know anything about my true self!" Millacus exclaimed
"Simple because the house of Gremory have one trait that they all share that doesn't change no matter what. And that's our great affection towards those who are close to us. Most of our strength comes out when protecting what's precious to us." Rias explained
"I suppose you're right as I have experienced that before but I tend to withdraw that as much of as emotion is a weakness that can be exploited, and in my previous position I could afford no weaknesses. So I concealed that as much as I could and remained as aloof as possible." Millacus explained.
"Well that's over now, so I guess you want to stay away from the supernatural so that you can try and return to normal. So my guess is that you have PTSD, as whatever you've been through was obviously something that you shouldn't have faced." Rias Stated
"You can say that again, however the regular people had it worse than me. As at least I had the power to defend myself they however were simply cattle the monsters that lurk on that island. My job was to hunt them and exterminate them, what really got to me is the fact I may never see my sensei again or my best friend. You see my best friend was the only warrior that could challenge me. However she broke the one of the two laws that warriors can't she killed a group of humans. You see because the humans fear us the organization set a law to help the regular folk realize that we are there to help them not harm them. A warrior is not allowed to be the cause of death to a human. Regardless if it was intentional or not. Nor are they allowed to kill humans even for self-defense. So for her crime she was marked for death. She will be hunted till they take her head, and I used this as a distraction to escape that hell. In doing so I broke the second law, I became a deserter to the organization. So they will start hunting me as well. However they have no influence outside of the island, and I'm top secret so they may just ignore me. I mess Teresa, and now I don't know whether she's alive or dead." Millacus told Rias as he broke into tears finally releasing some of the pent up emotion that had been building ever since he became a warrior.
"Wow, I had no idea you had it so bad. However deserting is a crime to devils as well however your situation is different. As you were taken against your will and forced to fight and if a devil deserts and doesn't resist arrest he gets a trial and if his former master is proven to be abusive then sometimes granted his freedom. So after everything you faced even if you weren't a noble in devil society you would be granted an exemption, and if they send hunters after you we will protect you. If you truly wish to live a normal live then suppress your aura entirely like you used to. That way the chances of you being dragged in by the supernatural will be minimal." Rias advised.
"I was about to say that I was about to do that." Millacus told her.
"By the way your ability to conceal your power is actually an advanced technique of the house of Gremory. Currently the only one from our family capable of doing it is father. We originally believed big brother and I couldn't do it due to the power of destruction we inherited from our mother. However you proved us wrong it seems that we just don't have the talent. So if dad suppresses his power entirely would you mind if he visits you in your new families' house. As he would love to see you again." Rias asked Millacus
"How about we wait until parent conference day that way we can spring it as a surprise." Millacus suggested
"Not a bad idea, although one thing I would like to ask you would you mind if I tell Ajuka Beelzebub about you so that I can retrieve your set of evil pieces. He may give them to me as a memento for you, as they were meant to be a surprise ninth birthday present. He may agree because they were already aligned with you so I can't use them myself. If not the only way I could possibly retrieve them, would be to tell him about you and possibly arrange a covert meeting between the two of you." Rias explained
"I don't mind, however I just really want to rest a while it has been a real long day for me. The longest I've had in a while emotionally at least. So do you mind postponing this meeting till tomorrow?" Millacus told her.
"Why not rest here, I have a spare room here that's fully furnished, and about your new sister I can send a member of my peerage with a note saying you joined my club. It's well known that my club activities are late, not to mention it's one of the most popular clubs. However I have a strict recruitment rule. Which is family only, as a Gremory my peerage is considered family. So now the only members are my peerage. Of course I don't announce it, I simply give an impossible recruitment test to anyone unqualified to join. You see this club is actually a cover for our devil activities. Because of this your new parents would be delighted that you joined such a prestigious club on your first day. Though it hurts seeing you be a part of another family I understand how it happened. I just wish I found you first that way we would have been together again." Rias said with a sad smile.
"I think I'll take you up on that offer." Millacus told her
"Very well if you'll follow me." Rias said as she led Millacus to the spare room.
I'm glad Akeno and the others aren't here right now as that makes it easier. As Millacus's presence would unsettle them. I should hurry and lead him to the room before they come back. Rias Thought as she arrived she showed him in and closed the door allowing him to rest.
A couple of minutes later
Rias was back at her desk awaiting the arrival of her peerage to start their activities however unlike most of the time her mind was distant and thinking a thousand things at once.
The doors opened revealing the two first arrivals, being a Girl with long black hair held in a ponytail. Amethyst eyes and a ridicules sized chest. She had an aura around her of grace and elegance that demanded respect. The second was a small girl with silver hair, hazel eyes and had a cat shaped hair clip in her head the most notable thing about her was her nigh emotionless face. "Koneko take a seat please, and Akeno please go make us some tea." Rias ordered the two so the little took a seat while the older one went to make some tea.
Within 10 minutes there was a knock on the door, and since Rias wasn't expecting visitors she knew it was the last member of her peerage, as he always knocks even though it's not necessary. No one else in her peerage knocks so why should he? Rias would never know.
"Come in" Rias told the person knocking. The doors opened once again revealing a blond haired blue eyed boy that could be mistaken for prince charming from fairy tales.
"Now that everyone's here let's get to business. Currently I you have noticed there is an increase in the activity of fallen angels in this city, they seem to have targeted one Issei Hyoudou For some reason or other. Admittedly I have had my eye on Issei for a while as well. As it seems that he possesses a powerful sacred gear. So I presume that the fallen angels will make a move to eliminate him soon. When they do I'll make my move and have him join my peerage. As you know I can't save him without risking war with the fallen. Which would resolve in the restart of the Great War, and as you all know we cannot risk this right now. As this would without a doubt spell extinction for the devils." Rias said
"True, we all wish we could help Issei then offer him the choice of joining us. Unfortunately we can't as you said we can't risk war. However what will we do right now then?" Akeno Asked Rias
"Simple I'll have Koneko shadow him, every day for a while till he goes home. And after that I'll decide what to do. Other than that it's business as usual." Rias answered. Koneko left for her assignment and the rest resumed their contract deal.
Four hours later.
Knock Knock
The door was knocked upon Rias automatically began wondering who was at the door. Kiba, but then it dawned on her that Kiba was in the room, Koneko? No it couldn't be she never knocks.
"Ara, Ara, looks like we have a guest, and a stray at that maybe Koneko dragged it here." Akeno joked.
After the statement with speed beyond what the others could see Kiba was right in front of Millacus with a sword to his neck. Millacus just sighed grabbed the sword a kicked Kiba in to the wall. Akeno started charging electricity, Rias was about to stop them when she noticed a discreet sign from Millacus to let them push their attack. So Millacus wants to test them then fine. So long as he doesn't hurt them too badly I'm fine with this. Rias thought to herself.
Akeno blasted her lightning at him, she thought she got him so she let down a little till a voice sounded behind her. "Your aim is terrible to think you actually aimed in the wrong direction how shameful." Millacus said as he stood behind her a placed the sword he took from Kiba to her throat.
"Akeno, Kiba Stop it this man here is our guest. You shall not attack him again." Rias ordered.
"Why, wouldn't we attack a stray isn't it the law to destroy strays?" Akeno asked.
"Yes, however this man's not a stray. In fact he's a noble and if he remained in devil society he would be ultimate-class right now." Rias told them.
"Him Ultimate-class! Impossible after all he has an aura of a low-class so how can he be ultimate-class, and if he's a left devil society that makes him a stray regardless of rank." Akeno rebuked
"I'll answer your questions one by one. Firstly, he's concealing or rather suppressing his aura to virtual non-existence. Secondly, no he's not a stray as he was kidnapped at the age of eight, his parents and older brother searched for him for years to no avail. Finally after two years of his disappearance he was marked as dead." Rias explained
"Impossible, if this is so, how do you know he's not lying." Akeno asked.
"Simple because I was there when he was kidnapped. He was kidnapped by a group of powerful magicians, the kidnap actually happened in the gardens surrounding my family's main estate." Rias told them.
"How come we never heard of that? After all we are your servants surely you wouldn't keep such a big secret from us." Akeno replied
"I couldn't tell you as the memory was far too painful as you see we were best friends and his kidnapping devastated me, after the event I stayed in my room for six months. Eventually my brother forced me out of my room and made take a trip to the human world. That's where I met you I put on a brave face for you as I saw you had faced a similar pain and I decided that we could help each other through that pain." Rias explained
"Rias, you don't have to edit the story there your peerage there's no harm in them knowing the full truth." Millacus told her
"What did he mean by full truth? You were lying to us?" Akeno asked in outrage
"Rias only changed one detail, and in truth it's insignificant detail. That detail was the nature of my relationship with Rias. I wasn't her friend, I'm her younger brother." Millacus told the group.
"Impossible, everyone knows that every true blooded Gremory has crimson hair you on the other hand have silverish blonde. Making it impossible for you to be a Gremory." Akeno told them both.
"Normally you would be correct, however due to a certain experiment I was forced to be a part of my hair changed to the color you see before you. Also the trauma from the experiment caused me amnesia. It was Rias that recognized me not the other way round. You see I only came under orders form Sona for a magic test. Still don't know why she didn't do it, but oh well." Millacus stated.
"Actually, Sona had probably figured out who you were, so the magic test was just a way to prove to me who you really are. You see everyone has a slightly unique qualities to their aura that's how it prove that you are you. By the way I thought you were asleep. I was hoping for some time to explain things to my peerage be" Rias explained
"Sorry another result of the experiment I only actually need about four hours sleep for three days, so me sleeping four hours is the surprise. Sorry for not giving you a heads up. By the way, your peerage skills a way subpar I beat them all without releasing my power and without my claymore. I would even need my claymore to beat a high level yoma which is the equivalent of a low class devil. And I would definitely need it for a low level awakened being. After all a low level awakened is at least mid-class level if not a high class in devil terms." Millacus told them
"You, mentioned a Claymore? Why it's far too heavy to be wielded effectively." Kiba asked.
"That's because you don't have the body strength to wield it. In my hands it's as light as a feather. And your swords would brake like a twig. Thus there useless at high level. While as far as I've seen the claymores the organization make are unbreakable. Anyway I must be going home now so I'll see you guys tomorrow." Millacus said, as he left at breakneck speed nothing more than a blur to Kiba to everyone else he just vanished.
"Incredible, I thought he lost all knowledge of magic but looks like he has a neat teleportation spell." Rias said.
"Rias, that wasn't teleportation that was pure speed, I've never seen anything even a fraction of that speed to me it was a blur, and I'm a knight a devil specialized in speed. So I'm not surprised that you couldn't even see it. However what scares me is that wasn't even a fraction of his true speed. As he hadn't released a single drop of his aura. So in other words he can be at least three times faster than that." Kiba stated in awe of the amazing feat he just witnessed.
"That's faster than Big brothers knight, who's said to be the fastest knight. No wonder he doesn't need magic with his strength and speed he's untouchable." Rias said in shock
Scene break Taizohara Residence
"Good to see you home I'm surprised you got into the Occult research club. You see before Murayama joined the kendo club she tried to join that club but they gave her an impossible task they asked for a feather of a fallen angel. What human can get a hold of that? I know you can in fact it's an easy task for you. Seeing as fallen angels are so beneath you it's not even funny." Tsukune said.
"So you know of the existence of the supernatural? If so did you know I was a devil?" Millacus asked.
"I wasn't entirely sure seeing as if never encountered a warrior before so all I know about their auras is what I've heard, and the description of the aura is similar to a devils so I wasn't sure if you were a devil or not. Since you're asking you've already been attacked was it a fallen or a devil?" Tsukune inquired
"Fallen, but I also encountered devils today. On a side note I met my sister by blood today." Millacus trying to distract Tsukune.
"Really, who is she?" Tsukune asked
"Easy, Rias Gremory the president of the occult research club. So in other words the club the club is just a cover that's why Murayama couldn't join the club. Not unless she decides to join Rias's peerage." Millacus explained
"I see, well then you are at a crossroad. You have two choices one you can deny what you are, and pretend to be human. The second is accept what you are and rejoin your family, but know that if you pretend to be human you must be careful as if anyone discovers what you are it would put us all in danger. If you decide to accept what you are I will not be disappointed in the slightest, and you'll be free to visit as you wish." Tsukune told him
"Admittedly I always accepted what I am. I knew that my pretending to be human wouldn't last. So in truth this is just a reprieve so I can relax after the ordeal I've been through. Though admittedly I underestimated you in two ways. The first is I presumed you had no knowledge of the supernatural. The second I presumed you would have the natural fear of the unknown that most humans subscribe to, but you surprised me I could kill you a thousand times in a single minute yet you show zero fear of me. Despite the fact that if I decided to attack you would have no defense that could protect you from me." Millacus explained
"That's an easy answer, you're not one to attack innocence. So long as I haven't wronged you severely you won't harm me." Tsukune explained
"True, but you didn't know that upon meeting me yet you still took the risk. You knew that I was marked for death the moment you saw me. You knew I broke the law. Which means I could have been a murderer or anything. Yet you threw that to the side and decided to trust me. Thank you, I really needed it. Admittedly I've only been acting as a machine recently, but you helped me to actually start living. I think I'll live here for a while and when I'm ready I'll return." Millacus told him.
"You're most welcome, as I said when I first met you. I hate when kids have their childhood taken away, I'm glad I was able to give some of it back." Tsukune told Millacus.
"I have a feeling trouble will be rearing its ugly head soon. So I better get back to training as so I don't get rusty. After all I'm marked for death so I must be strong enough to defeat the enforcers that come to enact my punishment." Millacus told him
"I hate that you have to be so serious at your age but your right. You truly are in a dangerous situation. So how long will you stay? After all we will miss you like crazy after you leave." Tsukune asked
"I won't leave until I have to, so in other words till either some big activity involving fallen or angels. Or my enforcers show. Or if the devil world learns I'm still alive. Whatever comes first. However even if I leave, I will visit, after all we are family even if not by blood." Millacus explained
"True, well you better get to your training. After all you only have the night to train. As I presume you don't want prying eyes watching." Tsukune said
"True well I'll be in the backyard if you need me." Millacus said as he went out to train.
Time skip morning
Knock Knock.
(No answer)
Knock Knock
Could it be could I have for once woken up before Millacus. Murayama thought as she was doing a victory dance in her head.
Murayama opened the door only to see Millacus wasn't in. damn I knew it was too good to be true no one wakes up before Millacus.She thought as a rain cloud appeared above her head.
Murayama went down stairs to ask Tsukune if he knows where Millacus.
"Tou-san do you know where Millacus is." Murayama asks Tsukune.
"Yes I think he's practicing his kendo outside. Or rather I think it may be Kenjutsu or some European swords style seeing as the sword he's wielding is a European style sword." Tsukune said
"Ok, I'll go see. I want to see how good he really is." Murayama said as she went to the back yard. She saw Millacus standing near a huge log on his back was his claymore. He wields a claymore? Those weigh about half my weight if not more so he wields two handed swords well there's no way he can swing that around fast so a good kendo swordsman can dance circles around him, and predicting it's path is easy due to it being sluggish however even one strike would be devastating. Murayama analyzing the weapon that Millacus choose. Millacus picked up the log and tossed it high in the air higher than a human should be able to. Millacus closed his eyes and put his hand on the claymore. So he's going to cut the log in half while it's falling if he succeeds then dodging his attacks would be difficult as he isn't really that sluggish. Murayama continuing her analyses. The moment the log came into range, Murayama noticed a slight twitch in his muscles for approximately half a second after that they relaxed completely. He couldn't even swing the blade. A little disappointing but not unexpected after all a fully grown adult would find difficulty in swing that monster of a blade. Murayama thought, she turned around to go get breakfast. She decided to tell Millacus to follow as he must be hungry. The moment she turned back her jaw dropped in shock all that was left of the log was small cubes. That were cut with ridicules accuracy as each cube was a centimeter. Unbelievable he cut them all precisely while in midair and to 1 centimeter. To have achieved this the sword must have moved at speeds that cannot be perceived even a machine cant's produce the same results in that small amount of time. Just what is Millacus? Does dad know that he's not human?" Murayama thought while subconsciously taking steps back in slight fear of Millacus's abilities.
"So what do you think of that demonstration. I hope you enjoyed the show." Millacus asked
"How is that even possible? No human has that level of ability what are you, an alien, a monster, or a devil?" Murayama asked.
"Well that's a difficult question to answer, the easiest way to explain would be to say I'm half human, half monster. Though it's nowhere near as simple as that though. If you're up for a tragic story I could explain how. Though I think it wouldn't be a good idea as the story would give you nightmares." Millacus stated
"I don't care, sorry I backed off I was just shocked at what I witnessed I trust you. I don't care if you're an alien, a monster or even the devil. After all I know the real you and you're a kind person that wouldn't harm a fly without good reason after all it takes for two swordsman to understand each other is a crossing of blades. So I would like to know your story." Murayama told him
"I'm glad you trust me. However I recommend you forgo the story after all it's not a pretty one and it will most likely give you nightmares as it really gruesome. More so than most horror movies that you watch. So I'll ask you once more are you sure you want to know, also I would recommend that you ask your father to tell you, as he knows the truth, and he found hard to believe, however he knew before meeting me, as I'm not the first. Though I am one of the youngest" Millacus told her.
"Why can't you tell me after all you lived through it, which would make your telling far more accurate." Murayama asked
"True however he can give you that base facts my story will probably scar you for life. Which is unnecessary. All you need to know is the basics." Millacus told her.
"Anyway as you said it's time for breakfast. After school you can talk to dad about it. After all I've got a meeting at the ORC (Occult research club.) that should give you plenty of time for you talk with dad." Millacus told her.
"Yeah your right thanks for giving me some time alone." Murayama tells him.
"Thank me after you know the truth. As I'm afraid you'll see me as a monster afterwards, and know this if you want me to stay away from you after you know the truth I shall." Millacus told her
"Thanks." Murayama replied and they went to have breakfast after breakfast. Dashed to school again at speeds no one could comprehend.
Scene Break Kuou academy
Three boys where lying on a hill on Kuou academy campus.
"Remind me why we are he." The one with glasses asked.
"Yes the curriculum here is harder than most other schools due to it being for the elite. So why did we sign up here." The bald one said.
"Easy you forget that until last year this was a girl's only school so the girl boy ratio is 8.2 at third year, 7.3 in second year, and finally it's 6.4 in first year. We came here so we can form harems." Said the boy with chestnut hair. And golden eyes.
"Pathetic, I presume you three are the perverted trio. i bet there's not a girl in this school that shows interest in you. After all from the way your acting all you guys are nothing more than perverts, and before you try defending your perverted antics that wasn't what I was shooting down. What I was saying is your NOTHING more than perverts. You need to find something else otherwise your nothing more than a waste of space." Millacus said as he passed by.
"Says the new pretty boy. Who can get any girl he wants. Even managing to join the most popular club on his first day." The one with glasses says.
"Idiots, and to think I was trying to help." Millacus said as he started walking off.
As Millacus was walking off. Someone grabbed his shirt stopping him from moving on. "Stop please can you please explain what you meant." The chestnut head asked.
"So one of you actually has a brain." Millacus said in a chuckle
"Cut it out Issei this guy is simply mocking us. He won't help." The bald head said
"Idiot, listen Issei I won't tell you explain to you in front of these morons. Meet me near the tennis court and I'll explain what I meant." Millacus told him
"Sure, I'll see you there." Issei told him
"See you there then." Millacus said as he walked off
"What the hell TRAITOR." The on with glasses yelled
"Simple, he may teach me how to pick up chicks so I'll give him a chance. Motohama you're the one that's being stupid." Issei said as he walked towards the tennis court.
Scene Break Tennis court.
"So you actually showed. I'm impressed. Now I suppose you want to know what I meant." Millacus said
"Exactly, I did what you said so tell me." Issei said
"As, you wish, right no you're a pervert a nothing else. Find something else to do that could impress people. Like football, kendo or tennis. It doesn't matter what you choose so long as you get good at it. Your skill will eventually outshine your perverse nature in the eyes of others and you'll get a chance to get a girlfriend. Another recommendation distance yourself from those two idiots, as they'll make what I told you an impossible task." Millacus said
"Sorry, I won't abandon them. They may be hopeless but they're my friends. I'll stand by them." Issei answered
"In the eyes of some what you just said is foolish, however only a fool can change the world. I would be honored to have you as a friend after all you loyalty is a great trait shame others can't see it. If you find a way to show your loyalty you'll have a girlfriend by the end of the day." Millacus said with a slight smile breaking its way on to his face.
"Thanks, I guess you're not a jerk like I thought, consider us friends." Issei said with a smile.
"That I shall tell me tomorrow how the new Issei did." Millacus ordered
"Of course, friend." Issei replied as he headed to class.
He's a fool, but a fool that has great potential. Millacus thought with a shake of his head.
Scene break Issei's class
As Issei was walking to his desk he was slugged in the face. "What the hell do you think you were doing met with one of those prince charming types." The bald one of the trio asked
"Give him a chance to explain himself before you hit him. After all he may have a good excuse. Matsuda." Motohama replied.
"Honestly, punching me over meeting with my new friend. Maybe you're not worth being friends with, anyway he simply gave me advice to help me get pick up some chicks." Issei replied with a shrug.
"Bastard." Matsuda yelled as is fist went flying towards Issei's face. Issei dodged the fist and casually sat in his seat
"We'll give you the benefit of the doubt, we found another VIP spot would you like to check it out." Motohama asked.
"Sure right after class." Issei said
"Everyone sit down a turn your textbooks to page30." The teacher yelled
Time skip two hours.
The perverted trio walked up to a building, the two showed Issei a Small hole in the wall. "Is this what I think it is?" Issei asked with shock on his face.
"Yes, this is the spot where we will find bliss." Motohama said as he and Matsuda started to look through the small hole.
"NO fair I wanna look too." Issei shouted
"Looks like we have some peeping toms on our hands." A feminine voice sound from behind the wall. Immediately afterwards Matsuda and Motohama, rushed like bats from hell knocking over Issei leaving him to take the beating in their place.
Within seconds Issei was surrounded by girls in full kendo gear tapping their gear against their hands getting ready to deal Issei a massive beating. When a figure jumped of the roof and landed between them. When he lifted his head it revealed to be Millacus carrying a shinai.
"You know it wasn't Issei that was peeping on you girls it was the other two idiots, so I if you want to get to him you have to go through me." Millacus told the girls.
"One vs. all of us too easy," A girl with pinkish hair said.
"Wait Katase, you have no idea just how good Nii-san is. Normally I would agree 1 vs. all of us would be no challenge. However Nii- san or Kiba then it's one hard battle. Plus Nii-san doesn't lie so if he said that Issei didn't peek then he didn't peek." Murayama said her face paling at the thought of facing Millacus in battle even a mock battle after witnessing what he was capable of earlier, and the revelation of what Millacus truly is.
"so the pervert still needs to be punished and beating, and if going through that boy is what's need to do so then I say we beat him to, after all what can one student do against the whole kendo club." Katase said.
"do as you wish but leave me out of it." Murayama told them.
"Relax I won't hurt anyone too badly. So you have nothing to fear Nee-chan if you want to join in." Millacus told her.
"Fine then, I'll join in." Murayama said as some of the club members charged in from all sides.
"A group attack hmm, may seem like a good idea however against anyone with enough skill useless." Millacus said as he ran towards one and knocked her on conscious with a single blow turning a taking down two more the same way.
"Impossible he took down three members like nothing." Katase said.
"I did tell you, that Millacus is an amazing sword fighter. The only way we stand a chance is to attack as a coordinated team." Murayama said with a shrug.
"So, how do we do this captain?" Katase asked knowing that without leadership, victory was impossible after witnessing his skills.
"well I'll engage and try to keep him distracted, and we keep wearing him down till we can win, in other words turn this into a battle of attrition." Murayama told them.
"That's cowardly tactics, but it maybe our only chance so even if I hate it I'll follow your lead captain." A random girl of the kendo club said.
"Normally your plan would work, unfortunately since I'm your opponent it won't as I'm used to long fights I can fight continuously for ten hours straight at full strength without tiring. You know that Murayama. As you've seen it yourself. By the way you need to work on the rest of the members of your club as they are all pathetic with you and Katase being the exception. If this is all you guys can do then give up there's no chance you'll succeed." Millacus told them.
"No way you're not all that good." A random girl said.
"Open your eyes and look. He's playing with us, he's not even broken a sweat yet and he's almost fresh despite fighting us. If you want to get strong ask him for advice and he'll give it. He gave me advice and I'm a lot stronger for it." Murayama said.
"I tell you what if you guys want I'll give you guys a training session tomorrow but right now I gotta go I got a meeting to attend. Come on Issei let's go." Millacus said as he grabbed Issei dragging him away from the kendo club.
Scene break the hill outside the ORC
Millacus dropped Issei in front of Matsuda and Motohama. "You two idiots, how could you abandon your friend like that. Issei I'll tell you once more choose your friends more wisely." Millacus said as he walked off.
"What the hell happened you don't have a single bruise on you did Millacus save you?" Motohama asked in surprise.
"You know, Millacus is right about you two. You abandon me to take a beating. Millacus saved me from it risking his own hide to save me. Not to mention he defeated all of the kendo club together in a duel. I'm beginning to see what he's saying about only being a pervert and nothing more. I think I'll ask him to teach me some kendo. If I learn from him I may actually become liked by girls so I would like some time to myself. Some don't talk to me till next week." Issei told the two as he started to walk towards the gate.
Scene break crossroads
Issei was walking home on his way, as he was crossing the pedestrian bridge he walked past a girl who called out to him. "Issei Hyoudou do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Issei replied confused
"Because, I've always been watching you. And I was wondering if I could volunteer myself for the position. Sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is Yuuma Amano." The girl said introducing herself.
"You do know my reputation right, because most girls would run for the hills at just coming close to me?" Issei said.
"Yes, but I don't mind I can see past you're little antics. I see the same thing in you that Boy saw in you." Yuuma answered.
"I see, then I'll accept, how about we have our first date on Sunday." Issei suggested
"That's sounds great, tomorrow I'll walk you to school ok." Yuuma told him
"I'd like that. See you tomorrow then." Issei said as they parted ways. After she was out of sight Issei pinched himself to see if it was a dream.
"OUCH" Issei yelled. "Well at least I know it's not a dream now" Issei said out loud as he was walking home.
Scene break ORC
Millacus walked in to the room. As Rias was talking to her peerage.
"Millacus why are you here?" Rias asked in surprise not expecting him to come.
"What I'm not allowed to come and visit my sister." Millacus said in a teasing voice.
"Of course you are. It's just I wasn't expecting you here is all." Rias answered honestly
"Well I did join the ORC didn't I, or hasn't it been made official?" Millacus asked
"Actually I thought you were just visiting yesterday, so I didn't register you as a member." Rias answered in a sheepish tone.
"Oooh, well I would like a good excuse to hang out with my sister without revealing my status. So sign me up. By the way what do you think of my suppression?" Rias said with a smile.
"Very well, I shall register you immediately and great suppression, had you been like this yesterday I wouldn't have known you were a devil. As I can't since you even though you're standing right in front of me." Rias said
"So you don't think that anyone will be able to recognize me now." Millacus asked.
"That's right, since your joining the club can you write the report on a supernatural creature. As I need at least one report a week to keep up the cover, and it's hard to do that with my devil responsibilities on top." Rias explained
"Sure no problem, I don't mind doing a little thing like that for my sister, especially since I've already finished all high school material. In other words I'm just here to hang out with kids my age. As I never got to do that back there?" Millacus explained
"Well seems your intelligent to, then I'll give you some homework that'll help you get reintegrated into devil society if you decide to return. Since you have a lot of free time on your hands." Rias told him
"You're evil. How could you do that to you little brother?" Millacus asked in a mock childish voice.
"Well I am a devil after all." Rias replied, after a couple of seconds they both burst out laughing as did Rias's peerage watching the funny scene of Rias interacting with her little brother.
"So have you contacted mother and father, and that Ajuka guy?" Millacus asked.
"Yes, and they're overjoyed that your alive but are also a little skeptical. After all it is a little suspicious, but they'll get over it, and it's Ajuka Beelzebub. Or Beelzebub-sama to you. Not that Ajuka guy. Honestly you just dealt a massive insult to one of the four leader of our race, but yes he'll be here tomorrow to pay you a visit." Rias said telling Millacus off.
"good maybe I'll actually like this guy, as long as he doesn't try to lord over me, as I never did do good with authority figures, last one I threatened to behead if annoys me by giving me an order." Millacus told her with a shrug.
"You, really need some nobility training when you come back mother will take care of that." Rias said with a dark smile.
"She's welcome to try, Teresa certainly did, and she failed, and SHE'S ACTUALLY ALMOST AS STRONG AS ME." Millacus told Rias putting emphases on the almost as strong as me part. The two got to their work.
Time skip 4 hours Taizohara residence.
Knock knock
Saizo opened the door. "Millacus why are you home so late?" Saizo asked Millacus
"Sorry but the ORC Activities last till a late hour." Millacus explained
"No Problem, just worried is all." Saizo replied
"Did you explain my condition to Murayama?" Millacus asked
"Yes, she took it better than I expected. She no longer has the slightest fear of you. And she's asking if you can train her as she realizes just how good with a sword you are. Just don't make her a warrior nor tell her who can do it to her. As she gave me the impression that she wants to become one to become more like you as you've become her role model." Saizo said
"Relax, the last thing I want for her is to suffer as I have. I shall train her. Funny I now have two students I wonder if I should train them together or separate." Millacus wondered.
"Talk to her now she's in her room." Saizo told him
"Will do." Millacus told him as he went up the stairs.
Knock knock
"Come in." Murayama told the knocker
Millacus opened the door and walked up to her. "What do you think of me now that you know the truth, and have no fear I won't harm you regardless what you say, and if you want me to leave you alone I shall." Millacus asked
"I'm horrified." Millacus started to walk off at this. "At what those bastards did to you. They had no right. However at least they did a good job, and I heard you got a private teacher rather than being put thought the regular boot camp." Murayama said.
"True but my sensei was a lot harsher than all the trainers at the boot camp combined. Although she was far more efficient. She taught me that I would ever need in the life as a warrior. In truth I mess her terribly. She was one of the two that made life bearable on that nightmare of an island." Millacus explained
"Well that's normal after all I suppose you saw her as a surrogate mother or something. Or she's just someone you respect. Know that I have no fear of you. You may be half human half monster but your heart and mind are human that's what matters in the end. I wish I could be half as strong as you are someday." Murayama told him
"Well I could train you, but know this even with my training you most likely won't reach my level of strength. But you'll be stronger than almost any other regular human. My guess is you'll be able to reach the level of a low number Claymore which is good enough." Millacus
"I thought that it's impossible for humans to reach even the strength of the weakest claymore?" Murayama said
"Not entirely true, but those that can reach that level are exceptionally rare. What truly reinforces this idea is that the organization sniff out those that can match them and turn them into claymores for two reasons. The first is for stronger claymores. The second is so that the surrounding humans remain weak so that they'll need to call the claymores to defend them." Millacus explained some of the organization's twisted logic.
"I see why you hate the organization now, they truly are evil. By the way is it true that you're being hunted by other claymore?" Murayama asked.
"Yes it's true but I don't expect them to show up for quite some time. As it's hard for them to believe I got of their hell. So they'll search every turn every stone on the island till they find me. Which they won't. Then one of two things will happen. One the simply believe I died. Which is unlikely seeing as I wouldn't die easily and a battle that could result in my death would be felt over the whole island. The second is they'll start searching this city for me." Millacus explained
"Well if they come then I want to fight with you, this means I want you to train me." Murayama told Millacus
"No problem we'll start your training on Monday, but first I want you to get some sleep." Millacus told her
"Right I shall. See you in the morning." Murayama said as Millacus left her room to get to his own to get some sleep.
Time skip morning
Millacus made Breakfast leaving out the portion for Tsukune and Murayama. He eat left a note explaining that he needed to go to school early and dashed.
Scene break Courtyard outside ORC
"Are you ready to begin, but before we begin, you need to know that I don't normally use Japanese swords, which means your training will be with a wooden claymore." Millacus said
"WHAT A CLAYMORE! BUT THAT WEIGHS A TON!" Issei yelled in surprise.
"True, however wouldn't wielding a heavy weapon prove you're manlier than a guy wielding small sword like a katana. Plus believe me when I say that sword suits you more." Millacus told him
"IF you say so, anything for my new girlfriend." Issei told Millacus.
"Oh, you already got a girlfriend good on you, do I know her?" Millacus asked.
"No, she goes to a different school if you want I can introduce you to her tomorrow." Issei offered
"Sound cool, but I don't want to be a third wheel. First though let's start your training. " Millacus told him as he removed a bundle from his back. Opening it revealed two wooden claymores within. He tossed one towards Issei and picked up the other. "Now then, here's how this will work, all you have to do is to get one hit on me. I won't attack I'll only dodge or parry. We keep this up till you either hit me, break down or the school bell rings whatever comes first. The first and last are highly unlikely, as you hitting me is almost laughable as if trained for years and you only just picked a claymore up, not to mention you can hardly hold it straight. The last is unlikely as I doubt you'll last the three hours till the bell rings. Normally I would use real claymores but it's not easy brining those to school, not to mention you wouldn't be able to even pick it up so that's out of the window till you get stronger. Learn from my stances, and pay attention to my footwork. Now then whenever you ready." Millacus said as he raised his claymore to a ready position.
Issei charged thinking he could get a hit but Millacus lazily danced around Issei's sloppy strikes. "How come I can't even land a single blow, this is so frustrating." Issei said complaining at how easily Millacus was dodging his strikes.
"Simple, you're not used to the weight of the claymore not to mention you telegraph you next strike so clearly that even a child could predict your moves so dodging them becomes easy. Stop focusing on hitting me till you're used to the weight or let your frustration turn to determination for an adrenaline boost, but either way focus on lasting as long as possible the first few sessions when training with a claymore are always familiarization with the weapon." Millacus explained
"No, I'll hit you no matter what you'll see." Issei stated as an aura started to become visible around him and his eyes flashed between brown and silver. With a yell Issei charged faster than any human should be able to, Millacus caught by surprise by Issei's boost of speed. Had no choice but to parry the strike.
"Impressive I wasn't expecting you to make me parry today, however calm down we're done for today. You must learn to control the energy you just released if you don't you will turn in to a monster. Sorry if I had noticed I wouldn't have even begun training you, however no that the power has emerged. You either have to have the willpower to never use it or learn to control it. Otherwise you will lose your humanity and become a monster that feeds on the innards of humans." Millacus Told Issei
"What is this power you're talking about? It feels really good are you sure that it will do that?" Issei asked Millacus
"Yes I'm sure, the power we're talking about is yoki, it's a power no ordinary human should possess, normally humans obtain it via a nasty surgery that involves cutting out a part of the stomach and replacing it with the flesh of a yoma which are the monsters that yoki originates from, but don't think that it's easy to control what you released is approximately half a percent of your entire yoki aura. What I'm trying to puzzle out is how you possess yoki in the first place as I can tell you most certainly didn't go through said procedure. Anyway I first want to teach you to control your aura before we begin with claymore training, and this is non-negotiable unless you want to risk turning into a monster." Millacus said
"Ok, I will train with you, but if it's that dangerous surely a boost of speed and strength isn't all it can do right." Issei asked.
"It can do way more than just that, however it's different in everyone. Some can stretch their limbs to ridicules lengths. Some can regenerate limbs that are cut off. However there are some powers that are universal. One the ability to reattach severed limbs. Second is increase of speed." Millacus explained
"Cool, now I really want to control this power." Issei said.
"Sure let's begin start by judging your reserves and draw out only ten percent and not a drop more." Millacus instructed.
Time Skip after School
"Issei go home you need your rest and don't practice your power without my supervision till I green light it ok." Millacus checked with Issei.
"Sure." Issei replied
Authors notes:
This is certainly the longest chapter yet. Now then I'm going to set a pole as to whether Issei dies to Raynare, or she kills him. But either way he's likely to become a devil.
About Issei possessing yoki, I figured since in claymore verse yoma originate from dragons and boosted gear is a dragon type sacred gear. That's power comes from D'Draig, a dragon more powerful than an abyssal one. So it's only natural that in a claymore xover he possesses yoki
Now then I've decided who will be in Millacus's peerage, I had help from Tsunashi777 deciding on who to put in the peerage.
Queen: Teresa (Claymore)
Knights: Arturia Pendragon mutated knight (OC based on saber FSN, hero descendent), Siegfried
Rooks: Herakles (OC based on Berserker FSN, hero descendent), Lancelot Du Lac (OC based on berserker FZ, hero descendent)
Bishop: Ravel Phenex, Madea (OC Based on Caster FSN, hero descendent) mutated bishop
Pawns: Lucelia of the south (Claymore) 4 mutated pawns, Clare 4 pawns (Claymore).
Please note that it will take Millacus a lot of time to build his peerage, next chapter Millacus will gain two new peerage members, not mentioning who though.
As always please review, and please enjoy
