Chapter 6
Time: 5:00 am.
Ezra moaned in her sleep while snuggling with her husband after the mating ritual the two had in bed, along with Ravel, who was hugging Erza from the back and enjoyed grabbing her cake, making Erza blush at this since she could barely feel her legs after her husband and wife made her feel like she was in Heaven and given a delicious dessert from Hell that made crave more which her lovers reciprocated, that is until Erza couldn't keep up anymore, especially since they frosted her all over and tasted her delicious strawberries many, many times.
Issei slowly woke up as he smiled at Erza's eyes, struggling since she was trying her best not to moan so loudly. Still, Issei decided to save her by taking her lips once more, making Ezra's moans silent before she opened them to see Issei smiling down at her, making her blush at Issei's dragon side until he spoke to her.
"Good morning, my Crimson Knight. Did you enjoy our reunion and marriage ceremony?" Issei asked before nibbling her neck, making Erza whimper a bit before panting a bit from her body heat rising once more until she felt the gaze of a Phoenix looking down at her like a tasty meal.
"Mm. I think Erza definitely enjoyed the reunion and marriage very much, my love. Especially when she was begging for me to eat her out while she was eating her carrot." Ravel said with a mischievous grin, making Erza blush reach her shade before she hid under the covers to hide her flustered face, recalling the many sex toys and positions they tried out, which made Erza turn so red that Issei even gave her a new nickname: Red Velvet, like the cake.
Ravel giggled at this side of their shared lover since she loved seeing the Knight act strong in battle but weak in the sack since she wasn't experienced in bedroom arts, but after seeing Erza turn into a masochist then, that unlocked Ravel's sadistic side that loved to take a bite of that forbidden fruit.
"Now, now, Ravel. Be nice to Erza. She's still recovering when we marked each other last night." Issei said while Erza blushed and felt the mark that was on her ass, while also feeling the claw marks on her back, which made her shiver in joy recalling how Issei licked them to help heal them, which made Erza love him even more until she poked out of the bed and snuggled into Issei's arms again.
"Can't we stay in for our honeymoon?" Ezra asked with a cute pout, which made the Red Dragon Emperor and Phoenix giggle at her cute face before they both kissed her cheeks and replied.
"Sorry, Ezra, but it's also your first day as an intern at Kuoh Academy. Don't want to make a bad impression, right?" Issei asked, making Erza sigh before nodding since Azazel informed Issei that Erza would be a University student since she is nineteen and twenty-six due to the events at Tenryou Island.
To avoid any confusion, the group decided that it would be better if Erza were nineteen in her new identity, which she didn't mind, but the only part that scared her was that she'd be interning under the new 'teacher' at Kuoh Academy which was none other than Brandish.
Brandish smiled at their reactions and granted she wanted to join in but had to prepare for her first day as a teacher at the school, so she told Ravel and Issei to enjoy themselves with Erza but not to wear her out too much.
"Okay," Erza said as she walked to the shower and relaxed while the warm water washed her body of last night's fun, which made Erza remember their reunion and when Ravel spoke to Erza before last night about something personal.
'I still can't believe Ravel didn't mind me being Issei's wife in Kuoh Town while in the supernatural world, Ravel would be known as his main wife.' Erza said in her mind, not knowing that it was Ravel's compensation for what both Issei and Ravel did to Erza in bed.
Erza was then pulled out of her thoughts as Ravel came into the shower along with Issei making Erza blush as she felt Ravel's small but wonderful bust pressed against her own while Issei's sword pressed into her ass.
"I hope you don't mind us joining you, Ezra. This way, we not only save water, but we all can spend some more time together before school begins." Issei said cheekily, while Ravel had a cat grin and nodded in agreement with him.
"Indeed, especially since we can tell you are still hungry for more punishment, and who are we to deny such a request from our wife, right Issei?"
"Indeed."
Ravel and Issei said while Erza was then peppered with kisses, hugs, and so much affection that she was surprised the water wasn't able to cool her down.
'This is even more challenging than the time we faced Hades. Fairy Tail, give me strength!' Erza shouted in her mind as her mind, body, and soul went to Heaven so many times like a rollercoaster.
Time Skip
Time: 6 am.
Rossweiss was shocked to see Issei and Ravel come down in their uniforms, looking refreshed, while Erza was refreshed as well but limped a bit before eating with the Phoenix Heiress and Issei.
"So, what's happening in the Underworld since my battle with Saiorag? I can only imagine the lower classes are being affected by the impact when I made my little speech to Saiorag in the middle of our battle." Issei said before sipping some of his coffee while Ravel giggled and replied.
"The lower classes are rallying together and helping each other get stronger than you thought, and they also see you as their champion who not only fights for them but also many people are calling you a new nickname: The Dragon Guardian. Many other kids especially like your new Balance Breaker and the new direction of the show since the kids liked the original, but the new one is just as popular since it helps the kids gain more confidence in themselves. Plus, Sona Sitri is also receiving help from lower-class families who support her dream of building a school for them."
Ravel explained as she went into business mode and began to explain the progress and the increased status of both Issei and Sona, which made Rossweiss surprised since she knew Issei supported Sona's dream as well, but seeing the changes after a few months still was a shock to her since she was getting used to this new Issei before Issei waved over to her to join them which made the Valkyrie smile as she was the one who didn't bond with Issei as much so Rossweiss took this opportunity to get to know him more and see if she could help him.
"Morning, Rossweiss," Issei said, which made the Valkyrie smile before Issei asked about Rias since she seemed to be out, which surprised him since he recalled the Gremory Heiress being more of a night owl than a morning person.
"Rias said she was going back home for a while since she was able to complete a month's worth of assignments as well as her senior thesis and work, so she wanted to go see her parents. Something about wanting to learn more under them." Rossweiss explained, which surprised Issei before shrugging it aside since he figured that Rias wanted to gain some advice on the upcoming battles, like how Xenovia and Asia were practicing for the upcoming war with the new Cao Cao and his army.
"Huh. Well, I hope Rias enjoys herself and doesn't push herself too much since she will be graduating soon. Oh, and before I forget, how is Brandish?" Issei asked before Rossweiss replied.
"Oh, she's actually excited for a new job and to see her assistant/intern join her at school," Rossweiss said before looking at the time and freaking out a bit.
"Oh no, I should get going!" Rossweiss said before Issei calmed her down.
"Rossweiss," Issei said, grabbing her shoulders before pointing to the clock, which showed six thirty. "I get you scared, but remember you can teleport to school, and you should have some food first before you have an anxiety attack. I appreciate you working hard, but you also need to take care of yourself first. The school will still be there, so don't be so stressed about running a bit late."
Issei said in a kind voice, which made Rossweiss blush a bit as she was a bit flustered by his voice. She also expressed how worried he was about her wellbeing before Rossweiss pushed him away and replied nervously.
"W-Well, you make a point." The Valkyrie said, not noticing Ravel's smirk and Erza's amazed expression before Rossweiss took some food and thanked them before teleporting to school, making Issei chuckle in response.
"Heh. Still the same as ever, Rossweiss." Issei said before sitting next to Ravel and pecked her cheek before clearing away the dishes, which made Ravel smile at Issei.
"Aw, thank you, my dragon husband, but I should get going too since I'll be getting some more training before I come to the academy in a few weeks," Ravel said before the two shared a final kiss until Ravel teleported away, leaving Erza and Issei in the kitchen.
Erza was happy to be alone with Issei as the two then began to head out to school, which made Erza so happy. She enjoyed doing solo missions with Issei even before they became a couple back in Earthland.
Issei also enjoyed walking with Erza but chuckled at her fascination with the new world around her since it was different from Earthland, which relied on magic for almost everything in day-to-day life.
However, Erza needed some clarification, such as the traffic signals when waiting for the light to change.
"Grr. What is this foul contraption that forces us to wait!?" Ezra shouted as she summoned a sword and was about to destroy the traffic signal before the light changed to a walk sign, which calmed her down.
But the trouble soon continued.
Erza tried to help a lost child, but the child was more scared of Erza when she tried to make a funny face, which made him cry even louder.
Fortunately, the mother soon found them and thanked them for helping her child before the duo left, which made Erza a bit happy but sad due to the child being afraid of her.
Issei noticed Erza's mixed emotions and gently took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Hey, it's alright. You're still adjusting to this world, and it can be not very clear sometimes. But you'll get the hang of it."
Ezra looked up at him, her eyes softening with gratitude. "Thank you, Issei. I'll do my best."
As they continued their walk, Issei pointed out various landmarks and explained the customs and norms of the human world, helping Erza acclimate to her new environment. They eventually arrived at Kuoh Academy, the imposing building standing as a testament to the blend of human and supernatural realms.
"Welcome to your new school, Erza," Issei said with a smile. "Ready to make some new memories?"
Ezra nodded, her determination renewed. "Yes. I'm ready."
They entered the school, navigating the hallways filled with bustling students. Erza's presence drew curious glances, her striking red hair, and confident demeanor making her stand out.
The girls were captivated by her beauty while wondering why Issei was with her; as for the guys, they were jealous of Issei being around another beauty, but they quickly turned away after Issei glared at them to turn away from his wife.
Eventually, the duo made their way to the faculty office, where Brandish was waiting.
"Ah, there you two are," Brandish greeted them with a smile. "Ready for your first day, Ezra?"
Ezra nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Yes, I'm ready to learn and do my best."
Brandish handed her a schedule and some materials. "Great. You'll be shadowing me for the first week to get a feel for how things work here. Don't worry, you'll do fine."
Brandish said before leaning into Erza and speaking to her quietly. "And if you do so well, I'll give you a treat during our break," Brandish said while drawing circles on Erza's stomach, making Erza blush at the atomic levels again since she remembered who she was with.
The second most terrifying person loved to tease her and make her legs feel like jelly, but nothing like when Issei made her shiver in joy from just a touch.
"Now, now, Brandish. Save the teasing for later, and don't be too rough on her." Issei said with a grin.
"H-Huh?" Ezra asked as she was suddenly stuck in the middle of the two people who made her so red she could paint a person with her blush.
"Oh, I take it she enjoyed her honeymoon then?"
"Oh, she most certainly did, especially since her cake was well-frosted and served to perfection."
"Oh, now I want to take a bite of it," Brandish said, making a small bite action, making Erza clap her hands over her rear to defend it against the Nation Destroyer.
"Oh, I'm sure it's still delicious as it was yesterday, but don't spoil your dinner since I still have a wonderful meal for you tonight, Brandish," Issei said, making Brandish excited since she had been waiting for her fun with Issei and Erza as well as Ravel, but business before pleasure, as they say in the workplace.
"Fair enough. Now get to class before I write you up." Brandish said before Issei chuckled but did so while waving goodbye to Erza, who was scared since she was now trapped alone with Brandish.
"Ara Ara. Ready for today's lesson, Erza, or should I teach you about the lesson today?" Brandish said as she was wearing a dominatrix uniform along with a whip in her hand, making Erza blush at the weapon before praying for her guild to lend her strength to survive this.
'If this Cao Cao doesn't kill me, then Brandish, Issei, and Ravel will do it with their teasing!' Erza shouted in her mind while scared but turned on by Bandish leaning into her ear and whispering.
"Now, let's begin, shall we?"
Ezra nodded dumbly as her rear was assaulted by the Nation Destroyer, who loved the marks that Issei gave to her before placing her mark on Erza to show she conquered the ass of the Dragon Knight.
Issei was smiling as he looked at his phone before his old friends spoke to him.
"ISSEI!" Matsuda and Motohama shouted before Issei blocked the two and slammed their fists into each other's faces, causing them to yell in pain before yelling at him.
"Why didn't you take your punishment?!"
"Yeah! This is what you get for ditching us for three months."
"Look, I'm sorry for being gone so long, but it's because I had family business to deal with, and I also did a bit of soul searching, too," Issei said before continuing. "And it was very enlightening since I needed a change of pace from the norm to better myself."
Matsuda and Motohama sighed before they left their jealous sides and replied.
"Well, you should've still contacted us since we were worried about you."
"Yeah, I mean, we're friends, aren't we?"
Issei smiled at this since he really cared about his friends before patting their shoulders.
"Well, I'm back, but enough about me. What's been going on with you guys since a little bird told me that you both finally got a girlfriend?" Issei asked before Matsuda smiled and replied.
"Indeed, and it was actually Hase from our class."
"Hase? Isn't she that shy girl you saved that one time from the stalker?"
"The one and only. Apparently, Hase has been trying to ask me out for a while, but since I was so busy hanging out with you guys, she never had the chance to speak to me. She was super shy, which I'm trying to help her with, but I don't know how." Matsuda said before Issei replied.
"Why not take her to a place where both of you are comfortable? Maybe a nice trip to the park might be a good way to help you two break the ice since that's where I can feel at peace." Issei suggested before the Perverted Trio continued to talk about dating suggestions and the fact that Motohama was actually dating Aika Kiryuu. This made Issei win a bet he had with his bald friend that they'd get together since they had so much in common.
The Perverted Trio continued chatting until the class began, and the day went by as usual. Still, the class was shocked by Issei's increased intellect since he was actually able to answer the questions in class and did an excellent job on a test and pop quiz today. Still, the class was surprised when Issei was physically stronger and able to beat even Matsuda, the most athletic person in their class.
Later, during their lunch break, the trio, along with Aika and Hase, were at the rooftop where Issei was eating an extra large bento, which shocked the group until Aika asked.
"Okay, answer us seriously, Issei. What the Hell happened to you?!" Aika shouted in shock before Issei replied to her.
"Three months and a spiritual awakening that helped me better myself."
"And then some," Matsuda said, still a bit sore from losing to Issei before his friend patted him on the back.
"Hey, don't beat yourself up. I had to push myself to get this strong, and I know you can, too, if you put in the work." Issei said with a grin before the group chatted about Issei coming with Erza today.
"So, what's the deal with Erza? Is she your new girlfriend or something? And what's up with the ORC girls? They seem to be a bit different, especially since Rias, Asia, and Xenovia asked for leave due to family reasons." Motohama asked before Issei replied with their cover story.
"Well, Rias has family reasons and some issues to deal with, so she had to go away for a month. As for Asia and Xenovia, Asia's birth parents may not have been part of her life, but they did leave her some money, so Asia is going to claim her inheritance. However, I'm just surprised they even remember they had a daughter since they didn't seem to give a shit by ditching her as an infant." Issei growled a bit before saying that Xenovia went as moral support, which made sense to the group since the duo, along with Irina, were a good group of friends who looked out for each other.
"By the way, did you hear about the new fourth-year students that came in today?" Hase asked shyly, looking away before Matsuda encouraged her to continue, which led to Issei learning that Vali, Dimaria, and Kuroka were at the school. At the same time, Ultear is the new school librarian, which made Issei smirk, knowing Ultear would more likely enjoy reading than her work.
After lunch, the group was surprised when they ran into Vali with Kuroka, Dimaria, and Erza, which made Issei smile as he saw his rival, friends, and wife.
"Vali! Kuroka! Erza! Dimaria! I'm so happy to see you three!" Issei said, hugging them, making Vali blush a bit. He was embarrassed by the hug until the girls began to question what their relationship was, which made Dimaria stifle her snickers. At the same time, Kuroka shook her head in amusement with a smile on her face, knowing Issei would enjoy this.
"Will you stop that, Issei? It's things like that make people think we're a...thing." Vali said before Issei replied with a head tilt.
"Oh, come on. It's not that bad since you, Kuroka, and Dimaria are dating. Besides, your Amazon girlfriends say they accept all parts of you." Issei said before Vali groaned, recalling Dimaria and Kuroka being amused by his alter ego.
"I told you not to bring that up!" Vali shouted back before Issei replied to him with an embarrassed expression.
"Please, Vali! Control yourself. I'm just a defenseless teenager."
'Defenseless my ass!' Vali shouted, hearing Pieces laugh in response to this since they were amused by their Momma's reaction to Issei's reply, which made the girls around them shocked before their imaginations went wild, especially the manga club, as they began to write a new book.
"Will you stop saying stuff like that? We are not a thing! I never slept with him!" Vali shouted to the girls, making them cringe, but it was the fuel that Issei needed to keep the fire going.
Issei faked a blush, which made Dimaria's grin widen because she was expecting what was to come as Issei spoke to Vali. "But Vali, you didn't mind sharing that sleeping bag with me when you were cold that night."
The girls blushed like tomatoes as their imaginations ran wild, and Erza thought of what her husband did with the White Dragon Emperor on some of their missions. Vali blushed and yelled back.
"That was because I didn't want to freeze to death from swimming, and you know it!"
"Oh, and is that why you snuggled next to me and wrapped yourself around me?" Issei asked with a teasing grin that made Vali groan. Kuroka did a spit take and struggled to breathe, while Dimaria laughed while rolling the floor.
"S-Stop, Issei! You're going to kill me! AHAHAH!"
Vali blushed as he looked away from Issei while Albion laughed his ass off.
{Aw, there there. I'm sure your husband will stop if you ask.}
'ISSEI IS NOT MY HUSBAND!'
{Pfft! Whatever you say, 'Momma'.}
Suffice it to say, it was an eventful ending to lunch, which made the students wonder what the heck happened to Issei after three months while he was gone.
But let's see how the others are doing outside of Kuoh Academy.
Gremory Mansion.
Rias was panting heavily as she was taking a hiatus from an intense exercise
session, the sweat glistening on her skin as she wiped her forehead. She had been pushing herself to her limits, determined to improve, and ready herself for the upcoming battles. She wasn't alone, however. Standing across from her, with a composed yet focused expression, was her father, Zeoticus Gremory.
"You've improved a lot, Rias," he said, his voice carrying a hint of pride. "But remember, it's not just about power. Strategy and understanding your opponents are just as crucial."
Rias nodded, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "I understand, Father. I want to be ready for whatever comes next. We can't afford to be complacent, especially if Cao Cao really has turned his army of humans into demons now."
Zeoticus smiled, placing a hand on her shoulder. "And you will be. But don't forget to take care of yourself too. Balance is key, as well as understanding your limitations."
Rias returned the smile, feeling a sense of reassurance. Her father's support meant a lot to her, and she was determined to live up to the expectations placed upon her.
The Gremory heiress then headed to her room where she was staying. She wipes sweat on her forehead before looking at her palm and summoning an orb of her magic. Still, it seemed difficult to control before she let the orb dissipate, which made her collapse on her bed.
"Dammit. I still can't get it to hold." Rias muttered while cursing her pride for being her glaring weakness since she was trying to form a concentrated ball of the Power of Destruction to throw at her enemies before it exploded, similar to a time bomb. Still, sadly, she could only hold it for a few seconds, unlike her brother, who could do it like it was child's play.
"Don't stress about it so much, Rias. I know that you are trying to get to Issei's level, but we haven't even seen him at his full strength. I guess that he might be as powerful as the Super Maou forms your brother and Beelzebub-sama have in their Arsenal." Akeno said, glad that she came during her free period at school to check up on Rias's wellbeing.
"I know, Akeno, but Ravel was right about me," Rias said, taking a sip of her water before downing the rest of it. "I've been hoping that the old Issei that I knew would be part of our group again and wishing that maybe our relationship could continue, but now that Issei's back, he's not only changed but matured. It's like he became more of a King while I was stuck in the back just watching him grow into such an individual who was able to perform such amazing feats."
Akeno listened while understanding Rias's anger at herself, which made Akeno look at her left hand before summoning some lightning, which made her recall how she despised the magic that she inherited from her father. Still, looking back on it, Akeno realized that she was a stubborn person like her friend and understood why both of them were the same.
Stubborn girls have so much power but waste their talents due to their lack of desire and their pasts to accept their powers and train to become truly stronger.
"Well, after your break, why don't we have a spar?"
Akeno asked, making Rias look at her in surprise before smiling at her best friend and hugging her.
"Thanks Akeno."
"That's what friends are for, and perhaps you'll impress Issei that you two can repair your relationship," Akeno said while Rias pouted at her friend.
"You're just saying that since he took you on a date, as well as Asia, Irina, and Xenovia!" Rias said before Akeno giggled at her expression. Rias then looked at the training ground and readied herself for more training.
'I promise to improve myself for not just Issei to prove Ravel wrong but also to prove to myself that I'm not going to be that same person anymore!' Rias shouted in her head, firing herself up and punching her fists together as her aura radiated on her body.
"I have a month until I have to go back home, so let's get back to work," Rias said before looking at the last day marked on her calendar, which was marked in red.
Challenge Issei to battle.
And it's not just Rias getting some more training but also Xenovia and Asia.
"Agh!" Asia grunted as she flew back and hit the wall while Ophiuchus sighed at the nun's attempt to fight her with Durandal.
"Is that all you really capable of, little girl? At this rate, you won't even make me take this seriously." Ophiuchus said while yawning and resting on a floating bed of shadows, which annoyed Asia when she got out of the wall.
Asia dusted herself off, her eyes narrowing with determination. She tightened her grip on Durandal, feeling the weight and power of the sacred sword.
Asia isn't yet ready for ExDurandal, which made her but still, she understands since the sword is testing her worthiness; unlike Xenovia, Asia is a caster and support who relies on her partner Rassei to fight for her in battle but not anymore.
"Don't underestimate me," Asia declared, her voice steady. She yelled before charging at Ophiuchus again, swinging Durandal with all her might. The blade glowed with a brilliant light, cutting through the darkness.
Ophiuchus effortlessly dodged the attack, her movements fluid and graceful like a snake. She flicked her wrist, and tendrils of shadow snaked toward Asia, aiming to trap her.
Asia anticipated the move and leaped into the air, avoiding the shadows. She spun in midair, bringing Durandal down in a powerful arc. The sword sliced through the shadows, dissipating them into nothingness.
"Impressive," Ophiuchus admitted, a hint of amusement in her voice. "But you'll need more than that to defeat me."
Meanwhile, Xenovia was utilizing her new abilities as a Bishop. She stood back, supporting Asia with powerful magical spells.
It made her sweat quite a bit since she didn't even realize how little her magic reserves were, which made her envy Asia a bit. She couldn't imagine how draining using Twilight Healing was for her being. Griselda was surprised by Xenovia's class change from a Knight to a Bishop, but the exorcist still supported her daughter's choices.
Gabriel was able to help Xenovia better understand magic, help the former Knight learn Light spells, and inform her of her unique magic that was currently locked within her being.
Xenovia was grateful for Gabriel helping her. Her hands glowed with a bright, holy light as she chanted incantations, summoning barriers and enhancing Asia's attacks.
"Divine Shield! Divine Reinforcement!" Xenovia shouted, creating a shield around Asia to protect her from Ophiuchus's shadow hands that slammed into the said barrier before being repelled. The barrier shimmered, its holy energy fading while it kept the dark tendrils away from it.
Asia nodded in gratitude, feeling a surge of strength from Xenovia's support. She charged at Ophiuchus again, her movements faster and more precise, bolstered by Xenovia's magic.
Ophiuchus frowned, realizing the growing synergy between the two. She summoned a wave of shadows, attempting to overwhelm the barrier and strike at both girls.
Xenovia's eyes glowed with determination. "Not so fast!"
"Oh, blessed Gabriel. Bless us with your protection as we repel the darkness with you, DIVINE LIGHT!" Xenovia yelled as she unleashed a burst of divine energy, dispersing the shadows and creating an opening for Asia.
Taking advantage of the opening, Asia pressed her assault, her sword glowing with divine power. Ophiuchus found herself on the defensive, forced to take their attacks seriously.
"Not bad," Ophiuchus conceded, a glint of respect in her eyes. "But let's see if you can keep up."
The battle raged on, the clash of swords and the crackle of energy filling the air. Asia and Xenovia fought with everything they had, determined to prove their strength and protect their friends.
In a separate training arena, Rias observed her friends' battles, glad that she let Asia and Xenovia train with her at the Gremory Mansion with Issei's third familiar, a mixture of concern and pride in her eyes. Rias knew they were strong, but Ophiuchus was proving to be a formidable opponent. They needed to find a way to break through her defenses and turn the tide of the battle.
Asia and Xenovia exchanged a glance, a silent agreement passing between them. They had to work together if they were going to stand a chance.
With renewed determination, Asia charged at Ophiuchus head-on while Xenovia chanted another spell, summoning holy chains that wrapped around Ophiuchus, attempting to restrain her.
Ophiuchus raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by their teamwork. She conjured a barrier of shadows to block their attacks, but the combined force of Durandal and Xenovia's holy magic shattered it, sending ripples of energy through the air.
Taking advantage of the opening, Asia and Xenovia pressed their assault, their attacks perfectly synchronized. Ophiuchus found herself on the defensive, her earlier confidence waning.
"Divine Judgment!" Xenovia cast another powerful spell, sending a beam of holy light toward Ophiuchus from the sky above, forcing her to dodge and giving Asia a chance to close in.
Asia swung Durandal with all her might, the sword blazing with divine power. Ophiuchus barely managed to block the attack, her shadowy form flickering under the intense light.
Rias watched, her heart swelling with pride. They were strong, and together, they were unstoppable. She knew they would find a way to defeat Ophiuchus and emerge victorious.
"Hehehehe. Oh, now that was impressive." Ophiuchus said with a chuckle before the smoke cleared to reveal her human form was fine except for her arms that were burned severely, which shocked both Asia and Xenovia before seeing the wounds heal completely.
"I'll admit that if I were still my weaker self, then I probably would've been in worse condition than a couple of burns, but thanks to my master's training," Ophiuchus said while cracking her neck, which scared the duo before her human form began to twitch and bend in inhumane ways until her mouth extended beyond human comprehension as a massive snake emerged from her human body, which made the two freeze in fear before the snake spoke to them.
"What do you say? Round Two?"
Scene!
I hope you all enjoyed it since I wanted to show more of the others and how they'll be part of the Kuoh Academy staff, which was easy since Erza would be excellent as an intern from Kuoh University and Brandish being a history teacher suits her, as for Ultear, she'll be the librarian but be more invested in learning more about the world and Japan more than her job.
Asia and Xenovia are also getting adjusted to their new roles while training under new teachers, which is why Asia will be maturing a lot faster, thanks to Griselda. At the same time, Xenovia is shown how to be more gentle and calmer with Gabriel as her teacher.
Rias, on the other hand, is learning how to use the Power of Destruction from both her parents and Sirzechs when he has the time to assist her, so she'll wish to get to Issei's level one day and clash with him.
