Here I am with another translated chapter!
This time it is another corrected chapter, and, this time it was me who corrected this and the next 2 chapters, so, if you see translation errors, keep in mind that it was much worse before. At least I want the reading to be smooth and not annoying in terms of your brain constantly correcting mistakes in pronouns and other things.
Putting that aside, it's time to get started.
Enjoy!
"If you don't wake up, I will kill you. If you don't wake up, I will cut you to pieces..."
The clock was slammed hard against the wall suddenly, courtesy of Issei.
Issei tossed and turned several times on his bed while squatting on it, in a karate stance, as he looked all around him with an icy expression on his face.
"*I'd say good morning, but you don't seem to be in a good mood*" The voice in Issei's hand made the young man visibly calm down.
Issei looked around with a bored look on his face, feeling that he had experienced this before. "I think waking up alive is quite comforting..."
"*Good thing you were being followed by your allies, otherwise you wouldn't be here right now."
Issei rubbed his hair at the same time as he let out a big tired sigh. "Great. Two days, two attempts to make me disappear..."
Issei looked at his school bag intently for several seconds, then frowned slightly.
"I think I'll do something about that..." Thought the brown-haired man.
CHAPTER 1: THE NUN.
"See you later!" Issei exclaimed as he adjusted his shoes and propped the suitcase behind his shoulder.
"Whatever you say, bye." Issei's father's voice would echo, causing the young man to shake his head in disgust.
Issei walked out of his house, only to look towards the window of his home to make sure his parents weren't watching him. Suddenly, Issei would run off in the complete opposite direction of Kuoh Academy.
"Are you sure about this, mate?" Ddraig's voice would echo inside Issei.
Issei would just give a small smile, then speak telepathically to his mate. "My parents won't notice, since they don't care much about my academic results and other matters around me. If I miss a day or two at the Academy they won't notice."
"|I'm really glad you decided to train so soon.|" Ddraig mentioned with a somewhat excited tone.
The way Issei was, the dragon never expected him to take the whole thing so seriously. But if he thought about it, there was something very important at stake, and Issei knew it VERY well.
Issei kept running at full speed towards a nearby park, as his face grew serene at Ddraig's words. "They already tried to make me disappear twice, and they'll try a third time for sure. But they won't take my life, just a defeat."
"I like the way you think, mate."
A few moments later...
"Are you sure this will do?" Issei thought as he gritted his teeth hard from doing some push-ups with a railing found in the park.
"|If you increase your stamina, strength, speed and other attributes, you'll be able to awaken the Sacred Gear at will in no time. But it will require much more effort to master it completely," Ddraig replied with a wise tone in his words.
Issei fell to the ground exhausted, while breathing heavily. "It's enough for me to wake it up. I don't want to get killed just for having this thing inside me. No offense."
Ddraig chuckled internally, causing Issei to get a little confused.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, it's just that all my bearers feel special when they get to awaken my power, and you're the first bearer who doesn't seem to like the idea of being the Dragon of Domination."
Issei shook his head, then wiped away his sweat and opened the suitcase. Inside was a large amount of sandwiches and two bottles of water, but no book.
"I'm not the Dragon of Domination, you are." Issei picked up a water bottle to give it a big sip.
"You've been working out for two hours already. You should take a little break, since your body isn't used to training like this," Ddraig commented with a somewhat concerned tone, causing Issei to give a small smirk.
"Are you telling me that a Demon's body is quite weak?"
"Not if you train it properly. Though it doesn't compare in the slightest to a Dragon's body." the dragon replied, with a clear tone of pride in his last words.
Issei got up from the ground and would close his suitcase, then start running in the park.
"That sounds great. But unfortunately I'm a Demon, and I'm left with no choice but to overtax my body for quick results." Ddraig smiled to himself as he saw how his bearer was over-demanding himself too much.
"Maybe it was a good thing the brat is a scrawny nobody, because now that he awakened his power he has no choice but train to control it, otherwise his life will hang in the balance." Ddraig thought to himself with a pleased smile, then turned serious. "Speaking of that... seemed like that demon already wanted to reveal her true identity to Issei." Finally, the dragon bowed his shoulders with an apathetic expression. "I guess she'll have to wait another day or two."
Elsewhere...
"He didn't come to the academy, and he didn't even pass by on the way to it." Rias, Akeno and Kiba looked seriously at Koneko for the recent information.
The four demons were in the Occult club, in the old school building.
"Shall we think of the worst?" Kiba asked as he rubbed his shoulder with a serious look on his face.
Akeno leaned back even more on the couch, as she watched Kiba, who was on the other one.
"I don't think so." Replied the woman with her typical relaxed and somewhat unsettling smile.
Rias nodded at Akeno's words, as she looked at some papers on top of her counter. "Akeno is right. Issei's house is located near Kuoh Academy. I don't think the Fallen Angels would have wanted to go that far into my territory a second time."
"So, what do you propose?" Kiba questioned with a smile, not paying too much attention to the subject. He didn't even know the boy, so he didn't care much about the matter.
Rias looked at Koneko with a smile. "Koneko, I need you to keep an eye on Hyoudou Issei's house first thing tomorrow morning. If you see that he doesn't leave for the academy, try to infiltrate the house and find out if he's there. If he's not, just open up dead." Rias ordered as she bowed her shoulders at her last words, returning to her papers.
Akeno simply chuckled somewhat strangely, looking at Rias. "It's a pity. Just when you had the chance to add someone else into your peerage..."
Rias rested her hand on the counter with a somewhat downcast expression after hearing those words.
"That's quite an addition to my servitude, considering he took my eight pawn pieces. Speaking of which, it's very strange that his soul never bonded one hundred percent with the demonic pieces..."
"Now we'll have to find his grave to extract the pieces from his body, if he really died." Koneko commented in her typical vacant tone, while eating a chocolate. Rias put the papers down on the table, giving a tired sigh.
"It's a bummer that the bonding didn't turn out as I expected. Because of that, I can't track him with my pieces..."
"It's certainly a very curious specimen." Akeno declared as she licked her lips.
A few moments later, in the park...
Issei continued to run through the huge park. About an hour had passed and he was still running without stopping, although he was going at a fairly moderate speed.
A large amount of sweat was pouring down his face, but even so his facial expression looked very calm. That was thanks to the fact that he was talking to his fellow intern.
"Hey, now that I'm in doubt, earlier you said that cases of a Demon without Demonic Corruption were rare, do you have any idea if there are any others alive that are like me? I mean, after all, you told me you were locked up a millennium ago and maybe you know someone..."
"Vanishing Dragon..."
Issei stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed how Ddraig's voice had a much more serious tone than usual.
"|I don't know if he's awakened yet, but there's a chance he's either a Demon or a Fallen Angel. So both would be special cases between their respective species. However, that doesn't mean that you two will become friends...|"
Noticing the tense atmosphere that had been generated by the last question between the two, Issei was forced to change the subject as he resumed his jog absentmindedly.
"Speaking of Albion, you told me that their fight was a millennium ago. So how many years can supernatural beings live?"
"Hmmmmm... I don't know exactly how old I am. But dragons were the first supernatural species to populate this world. First came Great Red, and after a while Albion and I were born. Calculating the times, I think I am about two hundred thousand years old."
As he had forewarned, the conversation had again shifted to a calm atmosphere. But Issei did not expect such a response.
"Two hundred thousand-Wait, WHAT?!" Issei shouted in his mind, slowing down in his tracks as he had an expression of complete shock on his face.
"If I follow your logic, how the hell is it that my mistress is still at the same school!"
"Supernatural beings have a period where their aging slows down almost completely. It's from 21 until death. Probably, when she turns 21 she'll have to go back to Hell, that or start erasing memories like crazy."
Issei placed both hands on his knees, breathing shakily. The young man sat down on a nearby bench to rest, as he rummaged through his briefcase for food and water. "So, considering that all supernatural beings have the same life expectancy, how old can you see a supernatural being physically speaking?"
"I might be a good example of that. Considering I had an appearance of 40 years when I died, I can say that every 5000 years of mine is a human year. Although, obviously that 5000 years is A LOT OF TIME, regardless of whether you are a supernatural being or not. Now, did you get that?"
Issei set his bottle aside as he rubbed his cheek quizzically. "I think so..."
"Chances are that everyone will continue to meet at that academy in the future, because it's no coincidence that of all the institutions, your mistress just happens to be at that one."
Issei rubbed his hair in confusion as he didn't understand exactly what Ddraig meant by the latter, but quickly widened his eyes when a realization hit him very hard.
"Wait a second!...if I'm a demon now, does that mean... SHIT! HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN TO MY PARENTS?!"
"|I was wondering at what point you'd figure it out...|" Ddraig commented with an amused tone in his voice.
The next day...
"I'm leaving!"
Koneko watched from afar as Issei left his house with her typical stoic expression, though she changed her face a bit when she saw Issei look towards his house with a mysterious aura and left in the opposite direction of Kuoh Academy.
"At least he's alive. I'd better get him to the President before his luck runs out." Koneko thought, as she began to follow him from close behind. "But first, I'd like to know what exactly he's doing."
Issei would keep running with a smile on his face, oblivious to his spy.
"I thought I'd be sore all over today, but I feel fantastic!" Issei exclaimed with a somewhat goofy grin on his face.
"|Good thing I pointed you to the proper stretches, or else you'd be lying in your bed like a dead man right now. Also, you should thank your demon body. I wonder at what point your excessive improvement will slow down...|" The dragon said in a deductive voice.
Issei simply increased his smile, as he began to run with increased speed. "The longer the growth spurt lasts, the better. Being a demon has its advantages..."
"What the hell is he doing?" thought Koneko as she quickly followed him.
3 HOURS LATER...
"Shit, I'm completely exhausted already..." Issei thought, as he wiped the sweat from his face and tried to regulate his breathing.
Issei was in the same park, sitting on one of the benches facing the street.
"It's normal for you to be tired. You've been running for 3 hours with almost no breaks." Issei simply smiled nervously, and later focused on eating a sandwich.
"Doing all this leaves me completely hungry." Issei thought, then took a big bite of the sandwich with a goofy grin on his face.
"Ouch!"
Issei set his food aside as he watched a girl who was dressed as a nun stumble as she walked up on the sidewalk.
Issei set the sandwich down in the suitcase to offer help. "Are you okay?" He asked with a slightly concerned tone as he held out one of his hands.
The young woman looked at Issei with a smile as she accepted the gesture of help. "Yes, I'm fine. It's just that I'm very clumsy."
Issei only increased his smile. "No problem."
Issei quickly knelt down to gather the things the young girl had dropped, causing her to be a bit surprised by the boy's gentle gesture.
Issei rose from the floor with all of the nun's belongings with a friendly smile. "This is yours."
"Thank you very much." The nun thanked with a slight blush as she made a small bow.
Issei simply waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was nothing. He was about to return to his pew, but noticed that the nun seemed to have a confused look on her face as she looked in several directions.
"Is something wrong?" Issei inquired as he closed his suitcase, without first removing one of his sandwiches.
The young woman lowered her head in embarrassment at the boy's question. "Well, it's just... I'm new around here and I don't know where I am..." She answered him with a blush of embarrassment on her face.
Issei gave her a chuckling smile, extending the sandwich towards her. "If you want I can help you. It wouldn't be a bother, since I have the whole day off."
"Are you serious? Thank you so much!" The nun exclaimed, as she accepted Issei's sandwich with a big smile.
"Hyoudou Issei, why were you absent for two days at the Academy?"
"Shit." Was all Issei could think, as he began to sweat excessively.
Issei turned his face like a robot, to see that his Academy's mascot was looking at him with her typical expressionlessness on her face.
Issei's frozen expression would change to a very confused one at the sight of Koneko. "Koneko? Why isn't she at the Academy?"
Koneko quickly grabbed Issei's hand and started dragging him towards the Academy. "Let's go now, before the principal expels you for vandalism."
"For vandalism?" thought Issei with a roll of his eyes. He quickly looked at the nun with a faint expression of guilt. "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help you. Ask someone here for directions. They'll surely help you."
The nun just smiled and nodded, then looked at Issei's sandwich and took a small bite.
"It's delicious." Thought the nun with a blush on her cheeks.
"Koneko, can you explain to me what's going on?" Issei asked as he tried to free himself from her powerful grip.
Koneko let go and looked him straight in the eyes, making Issei a little nervous. "What I did was stop you from killing that nun."
"What?!" Issei would roll his eyes at the answer.
"Maybe that nun belongs to the Angel Faction, and you would get the President in trouble if you killed her without warning." The Demoness clarified with narrowed eyes.
At Koneko's response, Issei widened his eyes in surprise. "You know about the Factions? Wait a minute, you're at Kuoh Academy and the woman who reincarnated me is there..." Issei pointed at Koneko with wide eyes. "You're a Demon!"
At Issei's shout, everyone around would look at the boy in confusion, then go about their business.
Koneko quickly covered his mouth as she looked to the sides. "I don't know how you found out about the Factions, but you're coming with me right now." She whispered softly.
Issei just nodded as he saw that the little girl albino didn't seem to be dangerous. Besides, she would most likely take him to this President and he would have the chance to meet the woman who reincarnated him.
Although he was no longer human, Issei was very grateful to her for giving him another chance to live.
At the Academy...
"We're here, President." Koneko advanced into the living room, giving a slight bow to Rias, then sitting in an armchair quietly.
"I was already beginning to think we were unlucky..." Rías thought aloud.
"I never imagined that the President of the Occult club was a demon..." Issei commented as he walked into the living room and looked in several directions, being amazed by the cleanliness of the place.
Akeno, Kiba and Rias looked at Koneko with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know how, but he already knows everything. He made it quite clear to me when we were heading to the Academy." Replied the girl albino with her typical expression, as she picked up a box that was on the small wooden table, starting to take out different sweets.
"Well, I guess that saves us the more complicated introductions..." Kiba mentioned as he motioned with his hand to his side. Issei picked up on Kiba's intention right away and sat down next to the blond.
Issei swung his legs excitedly as he looked around at everyone present. "Koneko already mentioned your piece to me, can you tell me what yours are?"
Again, everyone but Koneko looked at Issei in surprise at his knowledge.
"How does he know so much?" Rias thought, frowning slightly.
"My name is Kiba Yuto, I am the knight." Introduced the blond with a small friendly smile, as he bowed his hand.
"I don't know why, but I don't really like this guy's face..." Issei thought with a slight grimace, as he shook the knight's hand.
"My name is Akeno Himejima, and I am the queen. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hyoudou." Akeno would introduce herself with her typical sassy look, causing Issei to blush slightly and make an idiotic face, but he would quickly shake his face and put on a serious expression.
"Remember what you promised. It will be hard, but I will keep it." After that thought, Issei gave a friendly smile and gently greeted the queen.
Finally, Rias stood up from her desk and placed one of her hands on her chest, making Issei look like an idiot for a second, but he would quickly correct her.
"My name is Rias Gremory, and I am the king. Therefore, you are my servant." Replied the redhead as everyone spread their bat wings, Issei included. "Welcome to my family." Rias commented as she widened her smile a bit more, only to have her eyes take on a slightly dangerous gleam.
Before Rias could say another word, Koneko quickly stood up from her seat.
"I found Hyoudou talking to a nun without him feeling like killing her. This means that somehow he didn't suffer from Demonic Corruption." Koneko stated quickly, interrupting Rias.
Everyone looked at Issei with wide eyes at the statement.
"That's fine. Thanks for letting me know, Koneko." Rias said, making Koneko sit back down on the couch. Rias sat down at his desk as he put a hand to his chin. "Demonic Corruption is supposed to happen one hundred percent when it comes to humans... but you know a lot about Factions, and on top of that you don't have Demonic Corruption... that just leads me to think that-"
"*Effectively, Miss Gremory!*"
The thick voice coming from Issei's hand made everyone look at the young man somewhat quizzically, ah except for Rias who had a somewhat triumphant smile on her face, as if she had hit the jackpot.
"I never thought to have the Sekiryuutei under my servitude, but it's a pleasant surprise to know."
Ddraig's maniacal laughter was heard throughout the room, and this time everyone had to be confused and surprised by it, including Issei.
"*Servitude? I will never serve a Demon, nor an Angel, or Fallen Angel! Have you forgotten how they left our kind after the Holy War? The only one I will listen to is my mate*."
"Hey Ddraig, you never told me about this..." Issei thought somewhat uncomfortable with the situation.
Rias simply bowed her shoulders with a smile.
"As you say. Just the same, it was the dragons' fault that their own kind ended up that way. Though I should also thank them, because if it hadn't been for the constant dragon fights that were going on in all the regions, the Holy War wouldn't have ended on good terms regarding the Three Factions."
"*Battles? They only came together when the battle between the Dragon of the Apocalypse, Great Red and Ophis nearly destroyed all existence. Otherwise, they would have continued with their constant stupid attempts at world domination. Moreover, if the Demonic Revolution hadn't happened in those times, I'm sure the demons would have continued to struggle for power, but the countless massive casualties they inflicted on themselves made them ridiculous as a species. And look how they ended up now, being tamer and smaller than mere cockroaches." Countered the dragon with a defiant and amused tone in his voice.
Rias lowered her gaze and clenched her teeth tightly at what the dragon mentioned. Apparently, he had totally crushed her in the verbal argument.
"Hey Ddraig, let's calm down. Please." Issei would scold with a frown.
Was it so necessary to resort to something that happened over a thousand years ago?
It's fine that as supernatural beings they can live much longer. But a thousand years is a thousand years, and even if it's an ephemeral part of their LONG life, it's still an absurdly gigantic amount of time.
Do I need to tell you how many is 1000 years in days?
"*It's okay, mate. It's just that it gave me a bit of courage...*" Ddraig mentioned, somewhat regretful for getting carried away in the heat of the moment.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll understand." Issei soothed the dragon with an understanding smile.
Rias gave a tired sigh, causing Issei to look at her a bit embarrassed.
"Relax, there's no need for you to apologize. You're not the one who said all those words after all." stated Rias with a kind smile, causing Issei to reply in kind.
"Thank you, Buchou."
"Listen well, as you are now part of my peerage, you will have to join the Occult Club. You will also have to do some errands as a Demon that humans ask for and other things that will raise our reputation as demons."
Issei just nodded in understanding. "Ddraig had already told me about these things, so I already have some idea what it's about."
Rias just nodded in satisfaction at Issei's answer. "That's very good, because it saves a lot of explanation. Now, I'd like to ask you a question..."
Issei looked at her somewhat intrigued. "Any one you want, Buchou."
Rias frowned slightly. "Why did you miss two days at the Academy, don't you realize how your parents will get if they find out?"
Issei would simply laugh dryly, causing everyone to look at him quizzically.
"My parents? They're better off the farther I stay away from home. They can't stand me much because they always wanted a daughter, and somehow that frustration was getting on me over the years. They tolerate me anyway, though."
After hearing those words, everyone had the same thought.
"'They tolerate me'?"
At Issei's answer, everyone fell into an awkward silence.
Issei smiled again, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere that was being generated. "And regarding the first question, I'm trying to awaken my Sacred Gear voluntarily so that I have a chance to defend myself."
"I thought so..." Koneko thought with her typical expression as she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and ate a chocolate quietly.
"I understand your concern, but you can't miss the Academy because of that. Especially, because you're safer here with us. And besides, this Academy is Gremory and Sitri Family territory. No one will dare to enter here without permission, unless they want to get into a lot of trouble. Especially, if we are talking about other Factions." Rias would explain/reprimand seriously.
Issei lowered his head a bit in embarrassment. "I understand. I won't be absent tomorrow."
Rias smiled at Issei's reply. "Well, you can go now. There's no point in entering classes now. Tomorrow I want you to be here after class."
Issei simply nodded in agreement.
The next day...
"I think I know why I had a feeling I was going to hate this guy." Issei thought as his eyes seemed to be empty and a depressive aura surrounded him completely.
Issei was watching as Kiba was completely surrounded by women, while the blond-haired man had a nervous smile on his face from the huge commotion that had been generated at the exit of Kuoh Academy.
"How the hell? It's barely the fifth day of school and he's already surrounded by women, that bastard...!" Matsuda gritted his teeth in great jealousy.
Motohama adjusted his glasses with a very serious look. "I agree with Matsuda. Just because he has a pretty face he's already better than us..."
Issei turned around and started walking like a zombie towards the old academy building. At this, his two friends looked at him somewhat worried.
"Are you still a little sick?" they both asked in unison.
Issei turned his face over his shoulder with a fake smile. "It's not that. I joined a Club today and I have my responsibilities."
Matsuda and Motohama looked at each other with a raised eyebrow.
"A Club?" asked Matsuda really confused.
Motohama smiled greedily. " He probably signed up for the Kendo Club. You know, there are a lot of pretty women in that place."
Matsuda started to cry comically. "Is he seriou? And he didn't invite us being his best friends?"
A smile broke out on Motohama's face as his teeth flashed, indicating that he was up to something. "I got something better than that. I found a hole in the wall of his dressing rooms."
Matsuda acquired a dangerous gleam in his eyes as he became incredibly serious. "Enlighten me with your great knowledge, sir."
"Well... this might be a problem." Rias commented with a hand on her chin, seriously observing how Issei couldn't create a magic circle.
"Ddraig had already told me. The amount of magic reserves in my body are almost nil." Issei clarified the obvious with a depressed aura and a defeated posture.
Rias simply shook her head somewhat amused as she thought of a way to complete the errands without Issei's need to use a magic circle.
"I know!" Rias snapped her fingers with a smile.
At this, Issei snapped out of his depression and looked at her intently.
"We can use a more conventional method, like going house to house."
Issei quickly shook his head with great disapproval. "No, no, no, no, no! What will happen to my training?"
"Oh, you're right..." Rias looked up at the ceiling, searching for a possible solution.
"*Can't you lend him the bike outside? That way he'd get the errands done quickly, and incidentally he'd get a good warm-up too. We'd kill two birds with one stone*."
Ddraig's voice echoed in the room, and they both had to agree with that idea.
"All right, but be careful. That bike is Akeno's." Rias warned as she handed some pamphlets to Issei.
"Don't worry!" Issei exclaimed with a big smile between his teeth, then quickly left the place.
Rias changed her smile to a serious look. She put one of her fingers to her ear and a small magic circle came out of it.
"I need you to keep an eye on Issei. He doesn't have enough magic to use magic circles and something might happen to him on the way. The customers are the usual."
A familiar voice would echo through the magic circle.
"As you command, Buchou."
A few minutes later...
Issei was going at a high speed on the bike, but he didn't seem to be tired at all. Apparently, the effects of the training were starting to show much faster than normal. Though, of course, he wasn't someone very normal for obvious reasons.
"|Mate, why do you follow his orders without reproach?|" At Ddraig's question, Issei would put on a thoughtful face.
"It's true that I want to awaken my Sacred Gear now so I can defend myself. But I also owe the Buchou a lot for reincarnating me, and I think this is a good way to repay her. I guess fulfilling my services will make her happy, and that way I'll feel happy too." Issei smiled as he thought about his next words. "Besides, she doesn't seem to be a bad person, despite being a demon. Just like everyone else, they seem like people I can trust." Ddraig lowered his head as he thought carefully about his bearer's words.
"I have to agree with you. Their attitudes completely surprised me." Issei increased his smile as he saw that his mate thought the same thing.
Ddraig frowned as he didn't understand certain things. "Still, in all this time, just after the Holy War they master their instincts? And that they did it together with the Fallen Angels seems even stranger to me... there's something that doesn't quite add up in this story."
"By the way Ddraig, there's something that's been haunting me ever since you told me about the life expectancy of supernatural beings." At Issei's hesitation, Ddraig stepped out of his little world and brought his attention to Issei.
"How did you manage to have so many carriers, if you were only sealed for a thousand years?" Issei asked with genuine interest.
Ddraig chuckled a little under his breath, due to his bearer's curiosity. "That's simple. All of my bearers are always human, and have never become demons. That, and other factors, make my number of bearers somewhat levelled to speak of only one millennium. Obviously, you are the first bearer to become a demon. And while we're on the subject, I'll also tell you that supernatural women are extremely 'infertile', because they can only have between one to three children in their entire long life. There is also the possibility of a supernatural man impregnating a human, but that is highly frowned upon and happens once in a very, very long time. And yes, before you ask, if someone is half human and half 'something', they will still have a normal lifespan, unless they get involved with some Faction."
Issei squealed in surprise. "Wow Ddraig. You have all the knowledge in the world, but I guess that's normal if you lived that many years. I wonder how smart those who lived that many years are..."
"Having absolute knowledge doesn't make you smarter. It just makes no one in the world can call you ignorant." Exclaimed Ddraig with a clear wise tone in his words.
The conversation with Ddraig was suddenly interrupted when the whole atmosphere changed drastically.
Issei did a big braking with the bike, while looking in several directions gritting his teeth.
"Shit! It's this atmosphere again... And I know it can't mean anything good!" thought the young man, quickly getting off the bike.
"Took me a while to find you, but I was finally able to do it."
Issei turned around quickly. "Who's there?!"
Issei saw the black wings again, causing him to frown and automatically, his arm glowed red.
"Boost!"
Issei looked at his arm with wide eyes as he saw that he had activated his Sacred Gear just by thinking about it in a split second. Besides that strange sound that made him feel that much stronger.
A black winged woman slowly descended from the sky, until she touched the ground.
"A Twice Critical? I see you haven't been wasting your time these past four days, but a little toy like that won't be enough to beat me."
The woman's eyes widened as she felt how something cold and metallic was brushing the surface of her neck.
"Sorry to interrupt your grand entrance, but you won't hurt Hyoudou."
The woman glanced back sidelong with a small smile. "I take it you're another slave of that Gremory, or am I wrong?"
"My name is Kiba Yuto, it's a pleasure to meet you." Kiba said, flashing a condescending smile.
"Oh, Prince Charming has arrived." Issei commented to no one in particular, showing complete reluctance to accept help from Kiba.
"Prince Charming?" Kiba thought with a roll of his eyes.
"My name is Kalawarner, and would you do me the favor of putting down your sword? I didn't come with the intention of fighting, just to warn you."
Kiba's sword would further squeeze Kalawarner's neck, causing the woman to lose her smile and a small trickle of blood to run down her neck.
"I think you can still talk without cutting yourself." Kiba replied, still holding his condescending smile.
Kalawarner again smiled and proceeded to explain. "We are with a group of Fallen Angels in the abandoned Church of Kuoh, just outside their territory."
"So what of that?" thought Issei with a raised eyebrow.
"One of our new companions arrived today, and she had traces of demon on her belongings. We quickly asked her if she had run into anyone and if they had tried to harm her, and she mentioned the brown-haired boy." Kalawarner stated, pointing at Issei.
Kiba just shook his head. "And how could you know it was him?" At that question, Kalawarner gave Issei a sly smile.
"Because the nun explained his physique to us very well, and coincidentally we have another girl who also knows him very well." Issei lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
"Yuuma..."
The woman folded her arms, looking sideways at Kiba. "I'm just telling you guys to stay out of our business, and that way we'll avoid unwanted circumstances."
Kiba withdrew the sword with a gentle smile. "I'm sure it was a misunderstanding."
Kalawarner gave a sideways smile. "Yes, a misunderstanding..." After those words, she soared through the skies and disappeared with a magic circle, causing the whole atmosphere to return back to normal.
Kiba disappeared his sword and changed his smile to a somewhat worried look when he saw Issei's expression.
Issei stopped clenching his fists, picked up his bike and started walking.
"I'll go run errands." Issei mentioned, half of his face shadowed.
