A/N: Guess who's back! Yeah, everything's fixed with my audio and I actually found out that there were about 500 different malware files on my laptop...yeah, so they had to wipe everything! Thankfully, I had written down all of my chapters in one of my many notepads I draw in(or at least, try to draw in), so nothing very important was lost, but I did lose Skyrim, Discord, Pirate Warriors 3 & 4, DBXV 1 and Steam, so I have to re-download all of those again. But yeah, other than that, it's good to be finally writing and I guess let's move on to the chapters.
Two Days Later:
Home/HQ:
Issei's POV:
"Gah!" I gasped in pain as Theo-sensei's fist smashed into my chest, the air flying out of my lungs as I was sent barrelling head over heels across their backyard until I smashed into the wall with a groan.
"Good job, but you can still do more boosts. Go to your limit and attack me!" Sensei shouted and I groaned as I shakily made it to my feet, the blond girl on the porch cheering loudly for him before I sighed as the Boosted Gear appeared on my left hand again.
[BOOST] Ddraig's voice called out and I grinned as I felt the adrenaline rush in my body double before I blasted towards him once again. Skidding to a stop in front of him, I jumped before spinning and sending a roundhouse to his skull only for him to smirk and swiftly duck under it.
Not stopping there, I landed behind him before trying a leg sweep, but it was too slow as he jumped while corkscrewing through the air, coming to an abrupt stop above me and smashing his heel down in an axe-kick.
Quickly raising my hands above me in a cross-guard, I grunted as I felt the ground under me before I looked up and my eyes widened, quickly jumping back just in time as his second heel came down onto the already cracked ground.
A dust cloud hid his form from view before it disappeared as he rocketed out of it, my eyes barely able to follow him before I leaned to the side, his jab flying past my face. Quickly dodging and parrying the follow-up barrage of fists, I quickly lunged into his guard, making him jump back, but I grinned as I also jumped back, a faint orange glow coming from my chest and moving up my throat and to my mouth before I opened it with a roar.
A large fireball flew out of my mouth and it charred the ground under it as it travelled towards Sensei only for my grin to dim slightly as it was extinguished instantly, Theo walking through the embers that was floating in the air before they were all smothered by water orbs forming around them.
[BOOST] With that announcement, Sensei waved his hand and the orbs turned into solid ice before blasting towards me and I moved. An orange glow covered my hands as I punched at the ice, wincing with every blow as I only cracked the ice and not melting it as I expected.
[He's the grandson of Khione, one of the most powerful Ice Manipulators in the world. Don't block them, but try to move around them.] Ddraig advised and I nodded as I let one fly past me only to gasp slightly as another appeared out from behind that one and smashed into my wrist. A crack echoed throughout the training ground as I felt it snap before I quickly moved out of the way of a double attack from the sides.
'Training while injured means you'll get even better at your evasive manoeuvres.' Were the words of Sensei when I tried stopping one of our training sessions because he broke my forearm. While I was moving, the ice followed me around at a blistering pace as Sensei just stood in the middle of the training ground with his hands in his pockets, his eyes tracking me and glowing light green.
As I moved, my eyes lit up with a slightly dangerous yet imaginative plan and I grinned as I heard Ddraig sigh before I stopped. In a flash, I was moving straight towards him as fast as I can, the ice balls not even stopping as they rocketed after me as well. Sensei just looked even more amused as he kept his hands in his pocket, though I saw his legs tensing slightly as he waited for me to attack, but that was not the plan.
Quickly stopping in front of him, he looked surprised as I jumped high up into the air, the same orange glow appearing on my chest, though it grew brighter and brighter as it travelled to my mouth.
[BOOST] Another boost and I quickly stopped that boost from travelling through my body before I redirected it, along with what was left of all the previous boosts in my body, towards the blaze burning in the back of my throat.
[TRANSFER] With a loud roar, my mouth opened before a torrent of bright orange flames flew downwards towards him and I grinned as it melted away the ice balls following me with ease. Through the flames, I saw him taking a hand out of his pockets and pointed to it with his index finger before a small orb of water appeared in front of it. A light green aura covered the orb and my eyes widened as I felt the tremendous amount of Divine energy put into it.
[MOVE!] Ddraig's shout knocked me out of my stupor and I quickly punched the air behind me as I stopped breathing the flames out, a shock wave sending me flying away and towards the ground just in time as Sensei released the orb.
The small orb, which was the same size as a marble, expanded to release a jet of water with the width of a double decker bus as it completely smothered the blaze before rising even further and piercing the clouds. I just stared in shock at the gaping hole in the clouds before I gasped as I was smashed hard into the ground, a crystal clear ice ball sitting snugly on my chest before it melted into cold water that made me groan in relief as it cooled my burning chest.
"Hahaha! Good job on the last attack, but never drop your guard when the battle is not over." I faintly heard Sensei say before I groaned in relief as a light green glow covered my form, my wounds slowly disappearing as the blond angel healed me. After a while, she jumped up to her feet with a bright smile before she giggled as Theo patted her on the head.
"Good job as always, Kunou." She gave a gleeful giggle as she nodded before skipping to the house as Sensei grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me up to my feet with ease.
"Come on, I'm sure Yasaka and Rossweisse are already done with breakfast." Ah right, the hot blonde milf and the silver-haired beauty…damn lucky Sensei. A quick smack on the back of my head made me yelp and I glared as he just raised an eyebrow at me.
"I was a teen once. I know exactly what's on your mind." I just groaned as he chuckled and ruffled my hair, with me quickly slapping his hand away before fixing it back to my unruly look.
"Hey, sensei, how strong do you think I am?" I asked and he turned to me as he quickly glanced at my form before shrugging.
"Without any boosts, you're on the same level as the upper echelon of High-Class, but with your Balance Breaker, I'd say about Ultimate-Class to Satan Class, depending on how many boosts you got." So, on average I'm a B+ ranked bounty in the Organization's bounty books if I remember correctly from what Sensei had me read.
"So, that would mean if I turn bad, you would sent a Division Lieutenant to take care of me, right?" I said and he just chuckled as he shook his head.
"No, we would send a Division Commander, because of just one reason. The Juggernaut Drive." Ah yes, the thing Ddraig won't talk about.
"What is that exactly?" I asked, hopeful that he would at least tell me about it. "Why don't you ask Ddraig? He's probably the best to inform you of that."
"He won't. Says I'm not ready to hear about it." I grumbled and Sensei chuckled before he grinned.
"Well, then if he says you're not ready, then you're not ready. He's probably seen too many Red Dragon Emperors that want to test it out only to lose themselves in the power and die because of it."
"…It's that powerful?" I asked in shock and he smirked.
"Let's just say there's a reason every single supernatural being tries to prevent the Red or White Dragon Emperor from using their Juggernaut Drive at all costs."
"Wait, there's a white one too?!" I exclaimed in shock and Sensei looked slightly surprised at that before he sighed.
"Let me guess, Ddraig didn't tell you?"
[I was waiting for the right moment.] Ddraig supplied with a sigh and Sensei frowned before he shook his head.
"Inform the young man of what you truly are, Ddraig. If you try to keep too much information from him, then that could lead to some disastrous consequences when the information could have been vital to know beforehand." Was all he said before he continued walking and I looked down at the emerald glow on the back of my hand as I heard Ddraig sigh before he spoke.
[Well, if you want to know everything, let's start at the beginning. A few centuries ago…]
With Theo:
Theo's POV:
"So, how goes the torture?" Yasaka asked with an amused smile as I walked into the dining room and I chuckled as I gave her a quick kiss before walking to my side, patting the humming Kunou on the head and giving the blushing Rossweisse a quick peck on the head that made Yasaka giggle before I sat down at the head of the table.
"So far, so good. He has a good grasp on his Sacred Gear, but he seems to be too focused on power only. He forgets about the technical and support aspects of his Sacred Gear, but that will come to him in time when he gets used to his Sacred Gear." I said and she nodded before the door opened and Issei walked in, though now he looks a bit disgruntled as he sat in a chair next to Kunou and fell face first on the table.
"So, how do you feel now?" I asked and he groaned.
"Well, I just found out that I have a move that can make me as strong as the gods at the cost of my life-force and that there's someone out there in the world that wants to kill me just because I have the Boosted Gear."
"So, mad?" I asked with a smirk and he just sighed.
"Mad doesn't even begin to describe." He muttered and I grinned as Kunou patted him on the back.
"Don't worry. Theo will protect you until you're strong enough to take on the White Dragon Emperor." That just made him groan even louder as Yasaka and Rossweisse giggled and I smirked.
"Good morning, everyone!" Mom exclaimed with a happy grin as she walked into the room, Kunou waving at her happily as Yasaka and Rossweisse smiled at her. Issei looked up before his eyes widened as he saw the strange woman plop down in the seat next to him.
"Morning, mom." I said and that made his eyes widen even more as Mom giggled.
"Morning, my lovely son. How was bullying the lizard and his host?" Issei just ate his breakfast with a sullen face as I smiled.
"That's for us to know and for you to never know." Was all I said and she rolled her eyes before she began bothering Issei, trying to see if she couldn't crack his walls down.
"Anyway, since today is the start of summer break, that means we have no school for about a week. Issei, I want you here at 6 AM and I'm going to be training you in both your studies and your physical training until at least 6 PM, okay?" Issei just gave a thumbs-up as he devoured an entire plate of eggs and toast before downing it all with a glass of apple juice, Yasaka giggling as he gave a smile.
"Thank you for the nice breakfast, Richards-san." I don't know why, but that made me blush as Yasaka and Mom giggled.
"It was my pleasure dear."
"Uh, no, we're no-!"
"Ah, what he means is you're very welcome." Mom interrupted as Yasaka was trying not to burst out laughing. Kunou giggled at my blush, with Rossweisse pouting slightly at Mom's words as Issei nodded before standing up.
"Well, my parents are probably wondering where I am, so I'm going to leave now. See you tomorrow, sensei."
"Take care, Issei." I said with a smile and he grinned as he nodded, nodding to everyone before walking out of the room and I kept my sensing on him for the next few seconds until he finally left the house.
"So…Richards-san, huh?" Yasaka asked with a smirk and I rolled my eyes, the blush dying down as Mom shrugged.
"Meh, you're already together so why not get married too?"
"…Mom?" I began and she smiled.
"Yes, my lovely and cheery son?"
"You're nothing but chaos." Was all I said and she giggled. "
Tell me something I don't know." She retorted, making me sigh as the other three girls giggled.
This…is why I never call her at all.
A Day Later:
Kuoh Academy Sports Field:
"And one final lap, ladies! Come on, come on!" I exclaimed as the last few girls from Class 2-A ran past me, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno, Kiyome and the Soccer Club running at the forefront with ease. The first four because of what they are, Kiyome because of what her parents are and the Soccer Club because of my glorious training regime.
"And not surprisingly, Akeno wins." I said with a smirk as she finished her laps, Rias giving a pout and Tsubaki, Sona and Kiyome looking slightly miffed as Akeno giggled.
"So…what's my prize?" Akeno asked with an innocent flutter of her eyes and I rolled mine.
"Do your cooldown stretches. I'd rather not have you whine tomorrow about your body being too sore to move."
"Oh~But a stiff body sounds so deserving, especially after such a strenuous workout~"…This girl can turn anything into an innuendo.
"…I got nothing." Was all I said as I walked away, Rias ranting at a giggling Akeno as the rest of the girls just sighed.
"Should I be worried about you seducing one of the Two Great Onee-samas of Kuoh, coach?" Yagami asked with a giggle and I rolled my eyes as the rest of the club giggled.
"Not at all. Having to search for another job sounds like a pain." I said with a deadpan, making Shiho smirk before she gave me a cute glare as I patted her on the head.
"And how have you been, chibi rabbit?" "
I hate you." She muttered with a growl and I chuckled.
"Yeah, sure thing. Now then, how do you feel after your debut?" I asked and I caught the small smirk on her face before she smothered it.
"The same as always. It wasn't that impressive."
"You're such a tsundere." Yusada said with a smirk, making her glare at her as Yagami and the rest of the girls giggled.
"Okay, ladies. None of that fighting or else, I'm making the club do triple in training later." I warned and both of them quickly paled as everyone of the club glared at them.
"Now then, do your stretches and go take a quick shower before your last class for the day."
"Hai, coach!" All of them saluted and I chuckled as I nodded before walking towards the starting line, waiting until every girl finished their laps before I blew my whistles.
"Okay! Those, who have just finished their laps, start your cooldown stretches! Those that have finished their cooldown, go and take a shower, because you guys reek!"
"Sensei, it's improper to tell a lady that she stinks." Rias said with a pout, the rest of the class nodding at her words as I smirked as I looked down at my watch. They all looked confused as the Soccer Club sighed and started jogging as I spoke.
"There's about 15 minutes left for the period, so thank Rias for the 5 extra laps you all are getting."
"B-But-!" Sona tried to speak, but I cut her off.
"No buts! If one speaks, everyone suffers! That's my motto. Now, everyone, thank Rias for the laps."
"Thank you, Rias." Everyone growled out as those that were tired from just finishing glared at the sheepishly grinning girl before I chuckled as they began jogging. Five minutes later, most of them were heaving of air as I stood in front of them.
"And now, we're done! Does anyone have anything to say?" I asked with a cheerful grin, no one daring to speak as they all stared at the silent Rias before I nodded.
"Good then! Now, go off and take those showers! I was joking before, but whew~ It actually reeks this time." I said as I waved the clipboard in front of me and Rias quickly covered the smirking Akeno's mouth before everyone rushed off to the showers as I packed up all of the equipment and put it all back in the shed. Walking back to the field and getting ready for my off-period, I was surprised to see Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno standing on the field, their faces lighting up as soon as they caught sight of me.
"What's up, ladies? Are you here for more extra laps?" I asked with a smirk, making Akeno and Tsubaki giggle as Sona rolled her eyes and Rias gave a sheepish smirk.
"Actually, we wanted to come ask something of you, sensei."
"I'm not joining any peerages." I denied instantly, making her pout.
"No, sensei. It's something more serious than that." I hummed as I crossed my arms with an amused smirk and she sighed before she spoke.
"Lord Lucifer and Lady Leviathan would like to meet you, sensei." That made my smirk disappear as I grew serious, already coming up with contingency plans in case anything happens.
"Sure. When?"
"Now, if possible." I heard a voice behind me and I turned my head to see three beings behind me. The first I recognized as Grayfia Lucifer née Lucifuge, still in a maid outfit as she stood behind the two beings and slightly to the right of the man on the right.
The second being was a beautiful, curvaceous woman with long, raven black hair, wearing a white dress shirt, a black pencil skirt with black stockings, black heeled shoes and a dark green dress jacket over her shirt. An aura that felt not too dissimilar from that of my grandmother's chilling-cold aura flowed around her and her eyes were a shining violet as she analysed mebefore she looked back up into my eyes with a smirk, licking her ruby red lips.
This was none other than Serafall Leviathan, the Satan Leviathan and Queen of the Arctic Tundra. An S-Class threat in the Bingo Books.
The third being was the one I was most wary about. He was dressed in formal garb that looked fit for that of an emperor, his shoulder-length crimson hair the same colour of blood shining in the sunlight and his eyes a dark blueish-green that shone with power. Even with how compressed his aura was, it still felt as if it was eating away at everything around him, barely able to keep itself from devouring everything and everyone around him.
This was the man who had wiped away a chunk of the Underworld with just one attack in his True Form during the Civil War, a man that was praised by all Devilkind as the strongest Devil in history, a man that made even the gods fear as soon as they saw him.
Formerly the prized heir of House Gremory, he was now husband of Grayfia Lucifer née Lucifuge, fellow colleague of Serafall Leviathan, older brother of Rias Gremory and the Satan Lucifer.
Sirzechs Lucifer, the Monarch of Destruction, He who Destroys All and an EX-Class/ FOS-Class threat in the Bingo Books.
'Flee on Sight, no matter what.' I thought with a frown in my head as I turned to face them.
I guess the fleeing won't be happening, huh?
"I didn't expect two Satans to leave the Underworld just for a meeting with a human." I began and Sirzechs chuckled before Serafall spoke.
"When that same human can kill two Dragons on par with the Dragon Kings with ease, fight against Hades himself for more than 3 hours, is renowned throughout all of the pantheons for killing Angra Mainyu, the embodiment of Evil itself, and his subordinate Aka Manah, and is just a stone throw away from our little sisters, then two Satans seem adequate for the meeting." I chuckled at her words before I smirked.
"When you put it like that, it makes me seem far more powerful than I actually am." I countered and she giggled.
"Are all of those then just rumours you yourself spread for a slight bit of fame?" Sirzechs asked and I chuckled.
"Oh no, I did kill Angra Mainyu and Aka Manah, but that battle with Uncle Hades was just me venting some of my frustration and Ladon and Grendel weren't even that strong." I said with a shrug and he smirked before Serafall spoke.
"Well, before we begin with the actual reason why we're here, may we ask that we do it in a somewhat more…comfortable place?"
"Oh, please, can we? My feet are just killing me." A familiar voice came from the side and I turned before all of our eyes widened as Amaterasu walked onto the field, with me nearly bursting out with laughter as Yasaka walked behind her with a smug grin aimed at the Devils.
Oh~I'm in love~!
A/N: Another chapter, another week! See you all in the next one! So busy writing.
Until the next one…
Ba-Bye~!
