This has got popular quick, I'm actually quite surprised.
Thank you guys for the support you are all giving me.
Day 1
The first day of training and I was alone in the large, spacious basement with Azazel who stood several meters away from me in a black kimono. He stood across from me completely composed and relaxed, it was like his mind didn't even recognize that he was going to train me. Well, it's just how he does things I suppose.
Then out of nowhere a light spear appear and was launched at me, my ears twitched alerting me to it's position and ran my arm downwards in the air and created a thin wall of ice that caused the spear to explode on contact. From the midst of the explosion came two even stronger light spears, I then brought out my ice wings and deflected the two spears away before flapping them once to make some more distance between Azazel and myself.
"Your senses are sharp enough and you had plenty of time to defend. Let's see you deal with this."
Dozens of light spears shot out of the ground with the tips having a small bulb that was glowing and rapidly changing colour through the rainbow up until it black ad exploded causing a chain reaction setting off all the other.
"Guardian Frost."
I dropped down by bending my knees and placed both of my palms against the cool ground and multiple spears of ice shot out of the ground around me making a circular barrier. The inside was clear compared to the outside so I watched as the remainder of the spears exploded and took my palms off of the ground as I did so.
"Good, your defence didn't look cracked at all. Now, I want you to break a wall in the room."
"Break it?"
"In one hit. It'll regenerate after one hit but takes a few seconds to do so when broken."
After saying that he just walked off, presumably to write some more manga. I then moved to the wall on the opposite side of the room, the wall opposite the one with the stairs up to the main floor.
Then I went to town the whole day on that wall and was only able to make a metre long crack, that was when I covered my left fist in ice and Senjutsuu to create a multiple-hit single punch. It bloody hurt, my knuckles started to bleed early one and I was able to freeze them dry when they started again.
Day 2
The second day was pretty much identical to the first with the only differences being difficulty and a phone call.
Azazel has strengthened his light spears from before. I had to create a thicker and sturdier wall and put more force into my wings to slap away the two light spears that came at me. My icicle shield did perfectly again against the exploding spears and didn't have a scratch on them according to Azazel.
The phone call was from Takawaguchi-san and she said that everyone had been cast and they were going to hold a meeting party soon, the tenth day of my training so everyone could get to know each other. Supposedly the creator of KoG was a fan of Azaryuu-sensei's work. So my day off to rest would be dealing with VAs and getting to know them along with a possible few drinks that I may or may not be allowed. Plus we were all in the dark until we got there, all the others just knew that each role had been taken and not by who.
This party could possibly be a photo opportunity to show us getting along and have a group photo of the Voice Actors.
After the phone-call I took to trying to destroy the wall again. I did not fare better at all, it's hard to say that I even increased the size of the crack I caused.
Day 3
The third day of training went a little like this. Fight training, I got to see the strength on Raynare and Kalawarnar then I got to go Youkai Vs. Youkai with Asahi. That was the plan anyway, the only change was this.
As I stood opposite Raynare and Kalawarnar who were in their Fallen Angel mode, I saw Azazel sit down to the side of the basement with a table. The table held drawing and writing equipment, our questions were answered pretty quickly by him.
"Gin-nya, as you know you are very popular in the Underworld especially with the devils. I will write a chapter on this fight, I spent yesterday and the day before doing the lead up to this. The devils are going to love you beating two fallen angels."
"You are confident I'll beat them?"
"Yeah, you are using your 'Kami Mode'."
"Kami mode?"
"That armour which you used to only have the boots of."
Oh that. I can see why he called it Kami mode though, I wonder why I could make armour just through my powers as a descendant.
"You want to go that standard manga route? I'm outnumbered and on the verge of being beat but I'm somehow unable to unlock a new power that let's me destroy them despite the fact that my shit was being pushed in moments earlier."
"It's like you are reading my mind Gin-nya."
Good god why?! What kind of standard battle manga is he writing with me in? Plus why did he bother doing the Yaoi version? This man is beyond twisted in so many ways.
Ahh well, I can just summon the armour now if you could even call it that. The vision of it has been floating around my head for a while now, the weird thing is that it can be summoned at any time without warning. I just have to make sure I'm careful with the movements of my right hand.
I open my right hand until it's the shape of a crescent with the tips of my index finger and thumb are pointing at each other. This sparks the transformation starting with my right arm. White ice collects around my hand and travels to just under my elbow before stopping, as it stopped black stripes appeared over the white ice in multiple places sculpting my right forearm and hand into an ice tiger using my open hand as it's open jaw. Then normal blue ice started to form around my left arm much akin to a gauntlet but it was thin with a thick band of ice gravitating around my left wrist. As the band formed, white spikes jutted out of the ice covering my forearms much like the two spikes on my boots which had already started to form. In the centre of each metallic spike was a small turbine engine for added thrust in each palm thrust.
The tip of each strand of hair turns to ice and the 'D' formed from becoming a devil went from it's black colour to black ice, which was actually pretty cool … a shame really. Around my ears formed metallic earmuffs that were silver in colour with a circle in the centre that was an ice blue. Across the face of the ear muff was a silver 'X' that hit the diagonals of the circular ear muff and sprouted off into ice spikes that were at least 3 inches in length.
Strangely, that was it. My armour from my Tsukiyomi powers is just that, I still don't understand it but I do understand what Serenity said being that it wouldn't help me against a sword. I can say that the ice tiger around my right arm is friggin' cool. It even has eyes sculpted into it with the very centre of the eye having a speck of black.
"Europa."
My left hand shone as an icy blue European-styled sword appeared in it. While holding the sword in my left hand I raised it and rather easily showed Azazel a thumbs up who returned it happily.
"Start whenever."
As soon as Azazel finished the two fallen opposite me formed multiple light spears and shot them at me seconds later. They were strong but nowhere near the spears Azazel could make while putting very little effort into it. I just simply smacked them all away with my sword easily.
Despite being weak like Azazel had subtly said, they would move around unlike Azazel who would probably just slap the attack aside. I let out my ears and tail then start to run towards then after Raynare when the two of my opponents split up. While using my tail as a detector for behind me I concentrated everything else in front of me, with my tail helping me balance it shifting knocks me off balance and easily notifies me of an attack.
With each sway of my tail I move to the left or right depending on where Raynare was going to keep up the chase. I was yet to attack due to just following them. It wasn't that I couldn't hit them, I could but probably only just. They were both quite nimble in the air. I was waiting for a moment where I could hit them straight on, I might be able to do so if I upped my speed but I need to concentrate on fully committing with my strikes.
I am fast and accurate, I know that for definite and am not being conceited but my attacks are shallow. My attacks lack the full power and effect they could have, the secondary effects are more likely than the primary. That's what I'm going for mainly because this practice fight is for me to dodge and strike them. My objective wasn't what I was trying to do, it was to just hit them. That's easy for me with being a Nekoshou, I can read their movements and body language easily so I can attack in the direction they go and hit them before they can change the direction.
My problem is that I'm an unusual Nekoshou. Our race likes to fight whether it's simply for training, for fun or to kill it's what we enjoy to do. It's almost like a hobby for most of our race. I find joy in doing other things, a lot like humans. I much prefer to watch anime or even read a book compared to fighting but my puberty is kinda in the way of that right now. Puberty heightens near enough everything and makes our blood-lust evident, as long as there is blood we are fine. Catching fish, killing people, there have even been males that search for virgins to alleviate their blood-lust. There are even the Nekoshou who just settle for small wounds which cause a trickle of blood.
Actually, thinking back on the situation kinda brought back a bit of my blood-lust. I stopped abruptly and backed onto the heel of my left foot while forcing all of my momentum into my tail to start spinning my body round while skidding to a stop from the speed I was at. While starting to spin Europe lit up in an azure light.
"Aurora Wave."
As I spun around thin ice started to shoot out from the blade forming a spiral from the spin and continued outwards as more formed fluctuating closer towards me and further away which each consecutive spin. The waves of ice was thin and weak but that worked for it as the speed and amount that's shot balances it out and allows it to catch it's target if they are stupid enough to try and parry it rather than create a type of defence, and guess what Raynare and Kalawarnar did.
Both Raynare and Kalawarnar fell from the sky with cuts all over their bodies as they were way to slow to be able to parry them all but they did do alright and kept up at the start. Azazel was less than pleased, he was unhappy that my attack was not more precise which is dumb because it's a wide/all-round attack but I do know what he meant from his gaze. A good amount of skin was being shown, by both of them, he probably wanted the attack to destroy more clothes around boob level.
Day 4
Today was a more lax day. I was doing mental type of training and coming up with ways to use attacks and how effective they would be and in what occasions would bring out their full potential … pretty much a test. The other was a break but I expect it to be no such break anyone would anticipate, my teacher is Azazel of course.
"So Gin-nya, what do you use your Senjutsuu for?"
"Sensing enemies at a distance, messing with people sexually and … I think that's it actually."
"Very, very good uses for it but there are still more."
"I know that I can affect the flow of Ki in other people's bodies to stop there movements. Like punching a certain area with it infused around my fist can stop them."
"Yes, that is correct. There are more things you can do, other aspects and there is also Genjutsuu."
"Genjutsuu can allow me to create clones and whatnot but what do you mean by other aspects?"
"Other aspects as in making immortals mortal."
Oh … I never thought about that.
"Senjutsuu is the ability to control Ki, basically. Ki is an alternative term for life force. Thus by manipulating the Ki of a Phoenix you are able to kill it or just disrupt it's ability to regenerate perfectly momentarily. This all depends on your ability to control Ki and the level of the Phoenix's power."
"Sectioning it off could work. I could section all of his regeneration to his limbs making them come back almost instantaneously but his torso and head wouldn't making them vulnerable plus they are the worst parts of the body to hit because they hold the vital organs."
"Yes that works but I believe that'll also depend on your skill plus possibly an amount of time that could end up dangerous for you."
That is true, trying to siphon something like that would be hard while on the go or in a tense situation. Perfect for assassination though, if you are skilled enough to do it at a distance.
Thud!
A dull sound reverberated around the basement as a large, nicely smelling bag was placed on the table in front of me with the top open but faced away from me. The scent was extremely familiar to me and something I enjoy every few days.
"Your task for today is to think of new uses while completely blazed out of your mind."
Azazel then tipped out the contents of the bag, there was at least 6kg of catnip there. Looking to my watch I saw it was 4:20, the perfect time to blaze it up.
Day 5
The fifth day was completely uneventful, all I did was drink milk in the restaurant all day. Azazel was writing his manga, that seemed to be his real intention behind getting me blazed outta my mind and not helping me try to focus when not in the right state of mind.
I also caused a hell of a lot of trouble in the town and got took to the police station where I was tested and seen as perfectly alright. Otou-san was still called to come and get me though, that was not the funnest of car rides I've ever had in my time as a cat. Also my ears and tail were taken as accessories that were implanted into my body because I am one of those weird otakus, I don't know whether to take that as an offence or luck that they couldn't tell that they were real.
Just sitting in the corner drinking milk was also how I got the most looks in one day, maybe due to something I did last night. But what I did eludes me, probably something ridiculous or sexual if it's me. I don't know whether I'm classed as a pervert or not but I do know that the torture I give is in the Ecchi category. I wonder if that constitutes to being branded a pervert, I think it's possible.
Day 6 & 7
Nothing happens as it's a Wednesday and a Thursday, nothing ever happens on those days why would it. I also went to school on these two days, who knows why. I was bombarded with questions by Sona when one of the damned student council told her I was in school or maybe over hearing gossip that I was there, both seem extremely plausible. As per normal, I neglected to answer her questions which got her blonde pawn on my back so I tapped his back making him join Issei as one of the school's perverts.
Actually, I went around those two days manipulating everyone's Ki. My home room teacher was extremely out of sorts by the end of my first day turned on by someone staring at you is just plain weird in my books but it's funny to see and by proxy cause. Unfortunately, she didn't turn up the second day of my time back at school. Some might say that it was the reason that I didn't go back on the Friday, others would say that I had better things to do. The people who said I had better things to do were the fan girls who enjoy reading manga.
Day 8 & 9
Could I say that these two days were eventful? No, probably not. Was it any different from the first three days which were the only training I did? No, not at all. For the 8th day I did what I did for the first two days but improved on it slightly by using my Senjutsuu a little better and firing it like a cannon from my tiger arm. The 9th day was fighting Raynare and Kalwarnar but Asahi actually joined in at points firing arrows made of light at me, they were really annoying especially with those damn mirrors.
The training was boring and bad for my eyes, so many light sources and not even moonlight for me. Maybe I should become a nocturnal animal, it sounds so much more appealing than my current life. All the good things come out at night, unless it's outside that's full of predators. My precious night-time is not that safe of a place, plus a lot of supernatural beings are stronger or more effective at night. The damn devils.
Day 10
As today was the final day and I wasn't going to be training today due to the meet-up with the other VAs for KoG, Azazel decided to upgrade my glasses and clothes. My clothes was just black long sleeve t-shirt, black skinny jeans and black canvas shoes, the norm for me but as a good-luck present from Raynare and Kalawarnar I was now wearing a blue and black shemagh scarf. Why they picked that I don't know but it goes surprisingly well, especially when I put the earmuffs from my Azazel-dubbed 'Kami Mode' which now have the addition of wireless headphones so its all good. The silver glasses have just been upgraded further, whether it's a good upgrade I'm still in debate about that. They have their own built-in magic to allow others to see what I see like a camera, shows sizes of people and everything at it even the personal ones and has some more knowledge about the devils. Azazel is really half and half when it comes to things, he makes great things but he also makes ridiculous things.
Last night I was texted the meet-up address in Akihabara and it turned out to be the Maid cafe that Asahi makes me frequent whenever we go there, he might have the hots for one of them there. With my earmuffs/headphones on, I stepped off the train into Akihabara and slowly took my time to walk out of the station before I was bombarded by otakus and the possible fan-girls/fujoshi.
The one problem with the maid cafe, this one in particular is that it's in the centre and most cluster fucked part of Akihabara. It's also the place where I am recognised the most and not by the fan-girls so it could get hectic, i'm surprised though that just by being the model of the main character in Azaryuu-sensei's manga I become so well known and liked. Additionally, I found out that a 100% of the proceeds from the Manga go straight to my devil account just like working in the restaurant. It's not like Azazel was lacking money in the first place, the Governor has his hands in many pots whether it's taken as an innuendo or not it's true.
The walk through to the centre of Akihabara was fast just to keep out of view but I was lucky to just be called out to by the store owners of the stores that we frequent. My also rise to fame has gotten me discounts in those stores so it's great. It's kinda weird though to me, why give discounts to those who get more income. They may of liked me as a customer but now there is that added fame I now have, maybe as an incentive to continue shopping there. Businesses are a strange and complex thing, I need to get myself an agent too. It's possible that this is much harder than the devil contracts are, probably more satisfying though.
Entering the centre of Akihabara is one thing you can't do half-heartedly even if you aren't an otaku because you will get lost either by being carried of in a large group or being so small that you can't see and lose your way. It's a strenuous place, don't think otherwise.
As I entered the elevator to take me up to the floor that the maid cafe was on, I started to think about who was there. If I remember correctly, this cafe holds a table that has girls there and all the others hold guys who are slightly rotund and sweaty. Making my way out of the elevator I was greeted by the maid/waitresses there and by habit the looks of all the patrons there, it's almost like a rule to look at the elevator when it opens. Unfortunately, they have a camera in the elevator so they knew that I would be arriving, not for the party but just because.
I was greeted by extremely happy faces when the elevator doors opened.
""Okaeri Gin-sama!""
The happy faces of the maids, jealous faces of the otakus and the interest of the one group that has girls. Three girls and a guy that is, one of those girls looking out of place.
"Ohayo Girls!"
Two of the maids at the end started to direct me through the place and subsequently take me past the table that was out of place where I heard something directed at me along with a mumble shortly after. I turned my head to look and the four faces and they smiled at me. I then turned back to the maids briefly.
"Can you tell them i'll be there in a sec?"
"Takawaguchi-sama is already annoyed that you are the last to arrive. The one to voice act the main character should be first, according to her."
"Then she can continue to wait if I'm last. If she shouts at you then you'll have to come by on your time off, the manager knows where I work."
I gave the two maids a short wave as they walked off with happy grins. I turned to the four sitting at a lone table and grabbed a spare chair to sit in between a girl who I recognised as a model and a girl who was cosplaying as the love interest in KoG. This could be fun.
"What does the model, Kirino, want with with me?"
My knowledge of her name slightly surprised her and caused her to redden.
"Why are you here in a place like this, Tsukiyomi-san?"
I just smiled to her before answering.
"I'm here to meet other Voice Actors but I'm a popular customer here. Is it wrong for me to be an Otaku?"
"No no, I didn't mean that. Voice Actors? Here?"
She started off defending herself with her hands up, the way girls do it just add a lot more to it than guys do.
"Uh-huh, couldn't tell ya who though. If you promise to stay quiet then I can tell you the series it's for."
The brown-haired Kirino in front of me nodded blissfully along with the two girls, the lone boy looked a little annoyed and bored. I then pointed to the girl in cosplay earning her surprise.
"King of Gehenna!"
A sudden outburst came from her making me chuckle slightly.
"Yeah that's it , Nightmare-chan. I got the role as Drake Lucifer."
"Tsukiyomi-kun!"
Along with the change of four gazes in front of me I turned my head to see Takawaguchi-san looking rather riled up coming my way.
"We are all waiting for you. Tell your friends you'll speak to them later and come on."
"Yes Ma'am."
She stomped off as I replied and I turned back again after digging out four cards from my pocket, some things Azazel made for me. I then passed the four occupants of the table the cards.
"There is my number if any of you ever wanna talk plus if Nightmare-chan wants any gossip on the series. Kirino's onii-san, if this culture ever confuses you then talk to me. Finally Kirino, tell your fashion agency that I'll be replying to them in a day or so."
Along with a salute-style wave I get up from the chair and run to the back of the cafe where the private booths are located. As I start to turn round the divider for it's privacy the glasses caught someone with a supernatural signature. The tag read 'Serafall Leviathan'. Turning the corner I saw who Serafall Leviathan was and she was not like what Azazel said. According to Azazel she was a pink Mahou-shoujo but not today, she was wearing a dark green shirt, long black skirt and brown boots.
"And last but not least we have Tsukiyomi Gin who will voice Drake Lucifer. He is known as the model and voice of Tsukiyomi Gin in Azaryuu-sensei's hit manga 'Silver Moon'."
Along with Takawaguchi-san's slightly irritated expression were multiple happy looking faces on the actors that I'd'd be voicing characters with. The other actors weren't well known or to me at least, I hadn't heard of them before. I was the only one there who was slightly famous, if you excused Leviathan in a human setting.
Leviathan made sure she could have private time with me to talk and it's not what I expected but I should of. Serafall Leviathan was an anomaly, mainly due to her exceedingly happy outlook on … everything. Her happiness just seemed like it would never falter. She was one of four devils that I don't hate from the off. The four are Vali Lucifer, Koneko, Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan. Showing a constant good side to Leviathan can mean a possible rescinding on the order to destroy the Neko race, thankfully I have the Gremory protection until I can get it done.
She was surprised to see me there and was quite interested in the person that was Azaryuu-sensei, something I neglected to answer whenever I was asked. I continued that streak here with the Maou, childish Maou. During our time together I was asked way too many questions about being with Rias but my point was definitely brought across, Rias was a girl that I could not like. Leviathan was surprisingly easy to get along with, the childish exterior helped with that. Her form was very childish until you took her chest into account with it's ridiculous size, I thought it would be a long time before I found someone with larger breasts than Rias or Akeno.
One good thing she told me was that I was allowed to go all out in the rating game and suffer no repercussions from showing that I was a Nekoshou. What I was told about that was that the male Nekoshou were taken hostage by female devils and eventually killed when the husbands on those female devils found out, the females were killed on sight. It's not hard for me to tell why the male Nekoshou were taken hostage, especially when you look at who took them. After registering this fact in my mind I then looked to Leviathan and saw why she mentioned it. There was a look of interest or intrigue in her blue eyes. Though from that look I couldn't tell whether she just wanted a piece or the whole thing, I may learn what afterwards.
Well there is the semi-training/other things chapter. Barely any training done but what's important is the 4th and 5th day.
Both Serafall and Oreimo characters have been introduced. Serafall will be back again briefly in the next chapter and have the chapter afterwards hopefully to herself if I can get it done. The Oreimo characters may be back either for KoG references or brief instances where I decide to bore you with modelling stuff.
Next chapter will be the rating game and a chance to troll Issei.
I'm hungry so I'll let you read whatever else you want, Ciao-nya.
