I don't own either Fate/Stay night or Highschool DxD
Chapter 14: Training from Hell
Koneko POV:
My name is Shirone, but better known as Toujou Koneko. Right now I am sitting in the ground, and my location is practically in the jungle. In front of me is the body of Yuuto-senpai he had been taken out by the enemy.
I am completely shocked seeing Yuuto-Senpai body
"KONEKO-CHAN, WE NEED TO RUN NOW THIS PLACE IS NO LONGER SAFE!" Issei-senpai said
Thanks to Senpai voice I snaped back to reality, that's right we need to run we need to reach the goal
After that both me and Senpai started running with our maximum speed
Only a bit more we should be able to reach the goal!
-WHOOOOOSH!
BOOOM!
"WAAAAAHHHH!" Issei-senpai scream
Suddenly an arrow appear in front of us and exploded.
It pushed me and Senpai back
"S-SE-Senpai, are you okay?" I said
"I-I'm Okay!" Issei-Senpai answer
We then continue running once again
Damn! The enemy keep attacking us from all kind of direction there is no place to hide
We need to be careful, but suddenly…
"WAAAAHHHH!" Issei-senpai scream
Issei-senpai got pulled up, it seems he got caught in the trap
'S-Senpai!" I said
"R-RUN KONEKO WE NEED YOU TO REACH THE GOAL!" Issei-Senpai said
I nod
Everyone I will definitely reach the goal!
-SWISH
When I realized in front of me is the enemy
That's right it is that man Emiya Shirou
He then give me chop behinnd my neck and I am blacked out
This is all started 6 hours ago
Flashback Start (6 Hours Ago)
He suddenly dragged us with him back in school
While all of us still tied up we got dragged by his Pegasus, Yukikaze
All of us scream the hall journey because if chain got loose, and we fall we die
He then bring us to the place that if we put in one words is a jungle there is even wild boar here, we will die if some wild animal attacked us he said
He then told us to help out preparing the camp
Suddenly bring out a lot of thing for camping, such as food, sleeping bag, and etc.
He even have prepared changing cloth for all of us, he seems to have received from Grayfia he said
When I ask him, where he put it all of this? He answer
"In my reality marble." Are all he said
I don't know what he mean, but it probably similar to a pocket dimension or something
After we finished the camp we begin training
The first hour we're doing self-training menu he give us,
Issei-Senpai get the most basic training probably because he lack the basic
Shirou-Senpai himself disappeared, it seems that he is preparing something for our training
The second he already back, this time he give me and Yuuto-senpai advice on our fighting style and stuff
He even teach us how to use something called prana burst, it is a technique where you letting out some mana in a certain part of your body and letting it explode
It could be used for hitting somebody with a fist, while doing a prana burst at the moment of impact. It could also allow you to use it in order to increase your jumping and running abilities.
Unfortunately Issei-Senpai and Yuuto-Senpai is suck at magic control, so they given up on learning it.
On the other hand I manage to use it, but I don't think I can use it in battle yet
He also want to teach me magic called reinforcement, but it is similar to Touki so I don't feel the need to learn it
He also didn't force me to learn it
The third hour he challenge us to fight all of us at the same time
He overwhelm us easily
Issei-Senpai is the first taken out probably because of his sacred gear [Boosted Gear] is a threat if you left alone for too long.
I'm the next one on the list, please note that I manage to fight back a little
The last one is Yuuto-Senpai,
Before they fight Shirou-senpai make some sword he call Monohoshi Zao
That blade is way too damn long to use!
Is all I can think about when I see it, it is a Katana with length of 150cm
But betraying my expectation he use the sword so well
Yuuto-Senpai can't break his defence at all, all of his attack deflected, and Shirou-senpai doesn't even move a single step since their battle started
After we all defeated badly he told us our mistake, and how to fix it
The fourth hour is the start of this disaster
He make Yukikaze dragged us again, and throw us to some unknown place.
He told us to return to the camp location before 2 hours pass
He call this [Survival Game]
This doesn't seems so hard, he even gave us a map
Oh! How wrong I was!
He had made a lot of trap along the way, plus he shoot us with bunch of arrow filled with magical energy
One of those arrow even taken out Yuuto-Senpai
Flashback End
Anyway that is how it all come to this.
After the training we all eat the food Shirou-Senpai made and it is tasty as usual
According to him from tomorrow he will increase our training, I better eat as much as possible if even the first day is like this
Kiba POV
Today is the start of our training, and just as he said this is training from hell.
But I also gain a lot experience from this
What I didn't expect Shirou is a swordsman of my master level 'Okita Souji'
His defence is so solid I can't break through at all
He even teach me, how to make a magic sword better
Based on his story his ability to make sword is thanks to magic he use
I ask him is it possible for other to learned
Then he answer!
"While people might able to project the sword, they will not be able to recreate the sword magic ability, in case they're copying it magic sword. Also normally people can't even maintain the form of the object for a long time, probably it will lost it shape in matter of seconds." He said
"The reason I can use this is because I born with a unique trait that only belong to me, so you don't have to worry about this." He said
Well that is a relieve if there is many people capable of recreating magical sword that my [Sword Birth] will lost it's value
Is it because of this ability of his [Sword Birth] like him so much
Well, I can thinking those thing some other's time
Issei POV
"OUCH! That's painful." I said
"Yo! How are you doing?" Shirou ask
"I don't feels good at all my whloe body is screaming. But, I know this is all for Buchou sake so I will make sure to do all the training."
"That's good! That is a good enough for now, I don't you dare thinking anything unnecessary. All you need to is thinking, why are you doing this? Only those that have a clear goal, and have strong resolve and preparation can truly become strong." Shirou said
"You, said it like you have many battle experience?" I said
"Well, I guess I did." Shirou said
Shirou have a distant look, he probably reminded of some unpleasant memory
This is bad! I better change topic
When I thinking this thing Shirou look at me with a smile
"Anyway, you better rest now tomorrow I'm going to increase the training, and also I will give you guys a mission tomorrow. This is will be the requirement you need to do, in case you want to win against Raiser."
"ALRIGHT! I will definitely do it no matter how hard it is. Then, I will beat that Yakitori bastard!"
He then smile at me, with a look of someone older looking at someone younger, after that he left me alone with Kiba that already asleep.
After that I fall asleep because I am so tired, and for some sort of reason I am dreaming about dragon in my dream
Shirou POV
It seems the training is going well for Issei, based on my structural analysis it seems the consciousness of the dragon in hiss Sacred Gear have awakened.
Anyway I better make preparation for their task in this training camp
Then a hammer and nail appear on my hand
Huh? You ask how I do this?
Well you since the end of Fifth Holy Grail War, my reality marble starting to change it's form it no longer just a dessert neither it is stone field like Archer.
This is really a new form of reality marble, it has also many several effect
One of it is to put real object inside it, I can also later take them out anytime I want.
All in all it is similar to Gilgamesh Gate of Babylon
There is also many new ability some I have mastered, and some not
I will show it to you if we have enemy that can make me use it
Anyway, back to work
The Next Day (Shirou POV)
"Today, all of you will be given a task." I said
"A task?" Kiba said
"What kind of task?" Koneko ask
"Well let's just say you guys better off not going to the game if you can't finish this?" I said
Then Kiba and Koneko changed their look
They face full of determination
'Well here it is!" I said while handing offer a paper of what they supposed to do
…..
"""EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!""" The three then shout
Well I guess I did give too much task for them, but this is absolutely necessary
Rias POV
Me, Akeno, Asia had been training our magic for the past 5 days in the villa I own
The reason we trainin here is to not attract attention
Asia show quite the talent in magi in both reserve and control I have lot of hope from her
It had been the sixth day since the three was taken by Shirou, I hope they're okay
It is now 7 AM, we just have our breakfast
RIIINNGG!
Suddenly the phone ring, I wonder who is it?
I then pick up the phone
"…Hello…" I said
"Ah, Rias-senpai! This is Shirou!" It is Shirou on the phone
"What is it?" I ask
"Well, I am just want to tell you that the three seems to be heading to your place." Shirou said
"Wait! Are they running away from your Training?" I ask
I ask to confirm the situation.
In case they did I will not let Shirou train them again he must have done something terrible to the three.
"It's the opposite. They have finished all the task I ask them to do earlier than expected, and now they will be joining your training." Shirou said
"I see, that's good." I said
It's good they had finished their training safely
Then a magic circle appeared on the floor, and three shadow appear
"""BUCHOU!""" The three shout
Yup, it is my cute servants and they all had returned to me.
Akeno POV
Issei-kun and the other's had just returned to our place, right now they're sharing their story with us
They just finished their story about their first day on training
Ara, Ara, it seems Shirou-Kun sure give them a good lesson
"Oh, all of you so pitiful!" Rias said
She then hug those three in her arm
"GUHEHE!" Issei-Kun laugh
Ara Ara it seems Issei-Kun having dirty thought again
"…Hei!" Koneko delivering a punch at Issei-Kun face
"….W-Why?" Issei-kun ask
"You're having perverted thought." Koneko-Chan said
"Ara, Ara, I really can't get enough of that routine. Ufufu." I said
"I-Issei-San are you okay?" Asia-Chan said while walking to Issei direction
Ufufufu today going to be a fun day
"Anyway, it seems Shirou-kun give you guys some task. What kind of task is it?" I ask
"Each of us receive different task, but there is one task where all of participated." Yuuto said
"What is it?" Rias ask
"It is the [Survival Game] that is done on the first day, he gave us 2 attempts a day on it." Koneko answer
"Is it that hard?" I ask curously
"Hard doesn't even describe it we fail to reach the goal 9 times." Issei answer
Yuuto then nod
"Not to mention, he increase the distance, the amount of trap, and shooting us with more arrow every time we fail." Yuuto said
"He actually make us climb a cliff without any equipment on the last day, thankfully with our cooperation we manage to send Koneko-Chan to the goal." Issei said
"What about the personal task?" I ask
"Well, it is mostly a countermeasure to defeat Raiser immortality. Outside of Issei that was told to talk to his [Boosted Gear]" Yuuto answer
[Hey There!]
"""!""" Me, Asia, and Rias surprised by the sudden voice
Rias POV
"It seems this dragon is called Ddraig the dragon sealed in the Sacred Gear" Issei said
[That Shirou kid sure do an amazing job. With just 1 days of training he manage to strengthen my partner body strong enough to allow me talking to him. Here I thought I will never be able to talk to him because his physical strength is crap!] Ddraig said
"S-S-Shut up!" Issei said
"Issei-Senpai has learned 2 great ability during the training." Koneko said
"What are they?" I ask
"[Gift] and [Dragon Shoot]! [Gift] is the ability to transfer energy [Boosted Gear] accumulated to anyone or anything. [Dragon Shoot] is a magical blast so strong it actually has enough power comparable to High Class Devil." Yuuto answer
"T-That's amazing Issei-san" Asia said
Indeed that is amazing, I had to agree on that
"D-D-Don't give too much praise too me, I will get ahead of myself. Anyway Koneko-chan and Kiba also learned new."
"Oh! Can I hear this?" I ask
"Well I personally barely improved, at most it is only improving how fast I create my sword, as well getting tip to craft sword a lot better. If there is something noteworthy I manage to learn new sword technique but it really isn't that amazing." Yuuto said
"I manage to master Prana Burst a lot better, but it only improve my mobility a little bit. It can't be compared to Emiya-Senpai that can jump over 10 Metres and can run straight as fast as a bullet." Koneko said
"What is Prana Burst?" I ask
"It is a technique where you letting out some mana in a certain part of your body and letting it explode. It could be used for hitting somebody with a fist, while doing a prana burst at the moment of impact. It could also allow you to use it in order to increase your jumping and running abilities. Shirou-Senpai come up with this." Koneko said
I then smile at the 3 of them
It seems they have gain a good result from their training
I then remember what they said before…
"And what do you mean when you say countermeasure to defeat Raiser immortality?" I ask
"When we told Raiser is immortal, Shirou-Senpai told us many way to defeat it." Koneko add
"!"
Are they serious? Is their really countermeasure for it
"….H-H-How?" I ask
"Phenex Clan immortality really isn't that awesome, after all it just high regeneration. Shirou told us 7 method to actually manage to defeat him without overpowering him." Yuuto said
S-S-SEVEN!
There is actually that many method
"W-What are they?" I ask
"The first is something anyone can do locking technique on martial arts." Koneko said
LOCKING TECHNIQUE!
Why I didn't think of this?!
Although Raiser have high regenerative power he still can feel pain, doing lock technique and making him give up on his own is the best.
"What else?" Akeno asked
"The second and third is something that only magician can do, one of it is by attacking him electricity to affect his nervous system causing him unable to move properly or to make him down from the pain. The other one is too use element attack like water and ice magic which is opposite of Raiser element. I think Akeno-san and Buchou can do this 2 method" Yuuto said
A-Amazing!
There is also that, huh!
I've only been thinking overpowering him all this time, and don't realize there are this many method
"The fourth and fifth is the cause of death of Phenex clan during the Great War of 3 factions. The fourth can only be done by Angel and Fallen Angel using holy energy to kill him. While the fifth is done by using purifying water or Holy weapon. The fifth can be used by Kiba, he can make a Demonic Sword that produce purifying water now, although it take him several day because [Sword Birth] specialise in making Demonic sword." Issei said
That's right if they're immortal then there will be almost no death from Phenex Clan during the Great War. However it is fact that there are many death on their side as well.
Although we can't ask Akeno to use her holy energy I should have ask Yuuto to make weapon with similar function
"What is the last 2 then?" I ask full of expectation
"The sixth is the need to use curse magic or weapon that eat away his life energy or at least weakening him, this is not really possible for us, even [Sword Birth] can't make cursed weapon like that. And none of us is black magician." Yuuto said
"That's a shame, and what is the last one?" I ask
"Self-Suggestion…." Koneko said
"Self-Suggestion?" I ask
"Yeah, or you can also say a hypnotism, this is not exactly the weakness of Phenex family, but Raiser himself." Yuuto said
"What do you mean?" I ask
"It is exactly what it mean. Raiser is one that have been relying on his talent all of his life. If we show his ability can be countered easily he will be in panic. It will affect his pride little by little, and make him think that we are so strong that he can't beat us." Issei said
"….If we want to use this we need to make sure we can at least fighting Raiser on at least the same level with Raiser even if it's only for a little while." Koneko add
"I think Buchou can use this because if you use maximum output of your power of destruction without caring of your control you can make Raiser flame useless and even might kill him. Although this mean you will be too tired to stand later if you didn't beat him, Raiser will be too afraid to deliver the finishing blow. This will buy us enough time to send a support." Yuuto said
I can't help but gape at the idea
This is nut, but at the same time it might work
After that we continue discussion, and then continuing our training
The night finally come
Issei POV
I can't sleep today because I worry I can't do anything
Although thanks to Shirou training my basic strength had gone up, and I had master an attack called [Dragon Shot]
I don't know if I can be any use in the battle
I then see the light of certain room still on
I see Buchou wearing glasses while reading book
"Buchou, what are you doing here?" I ask
"Oh Issei! I'm just reading some strategy that might be useful to beat Raiser, after all we can never be prepared against an opponent stronger than us." Buchou said
I see!
As expected of Buchou to do this kind of thing by herself
But seeing her I really end up wondering about one thing
"Buchou, why are you refusing marriage with Raiser so much? I mean sure he is a womanizer and a jerk at that, but from what I see that is not the whole thing…"
Buchou then look at me while blinking several time, it seems that she is surprised at what I say.
She then started to talk
"…I'm a "Gremory"." Buchou said
"Huh? W-Well, you certainly are…" I said
"No. I didn't re-introduce myself. I'm a Devil from the House of Gremory, and that name will follow me to wherever I go." Buchou said
Oh, I think I get it.
"Do you hate it?" I ask
"I feel proud of it. However, this is also something that is a burden to me. Everyone looks at me as Rias from the Gremory. I can't have them look at me simply as Rias. That's why I'm enjoying my life in the human world. The only time I can enjoy my life as myself is when I'm in the human world." Buchou Said
Buchou has a distant look. She also has very sad eyes.
I then said this
"I like Buchou as Buchou."
I just said what I thought. But Buchou stares at me in wonder.
"I don't know anything about Gremory or about the Devils' world, but to me Rias-buchou is Rias-buchou."
"And, I don't understand all the complicated stuff but to me the usual Buchou is the best!"
I said everything I can think of with a smile.
Buchou face suddenly turned crimson red
"B-Buchou? D-Did I say something weird?" I ask
"I-It's nothing." Buchou said while her face still red
I see it's nothing
Anyway, I can't stay depressed and worrying about something I don't know yet, just like Shirou said "Don't thinking anything unnecessary."
All I need to do is work hard in order to achieve my goal
The night then past just like that
