Hello again this chapter 2 of The Road of Domination

But before we continue with the story, I would like to answer to some of the comments that were made in the first chapter.

1. For those that said that the beginning of the story wasn't original, I partly agree with you lot, but in my opinion, if you want to make Issei change from his completely perverted state and for him to go up the ranks quickly and make him do something other than being a lecher that is only about tits. Then you have 4 or 5 places that you can start with that. First is if the story begins before the event's that took place in LN, second is at who he revives him (like in Jack of Heart, it's extremely good story you should all read it), third is the church before Raynare is killed, fourth before Rating game and rematch with Riser and finally in my opinion is Peace Summit.

2. I would like to point out that, yes, it may, in the beginning, look similar to the other stories out there but after the first 2-3 chapter's it will all change since there would be other things that will show up. So don't think that it will be similar to others.

3. Is about my Grammar, yeah I know it isn't that good since English isn't my language and I will try to fix that issue as soon as possible.

Well, that's all I wanted to say about comments, thank you for the reviews, all are welcome, good and bad it all helps.

Special thanks to Dazzazzel for beta reading it and helping.

I don't own Highschool DxD that right goes to its creator.

Chapter 2. Issei's Return

When he left the run-down church, Issei began to think of how can he become stronger. His first big obstacle came directly from the fact that he was a pervert and an extremely big one at that. That gave others chances to use him and manipulate him in every which way they wanted by just showing him tits and he will do anything.

So his first order of Bisnis came at trying to somehow someway manage to tow down on his lecherous tendency and he acknowledged that he will need help in doing that.

On his way home Issei came across the same place where this whole madness started, at the newly built park, a place where he brought first girlfriend after a date, where he suppressed his pervert side to a minimum and was killed in cold blood and then revived into literally a slave.

To a beautiful red-hair girl that till tonight he idolized so much, to the point that he thought she was perfect, only to find out that she was literally worst than him in a way.

"So I came again here, it's strange how fate has a funny way to laugh at you when you're at your lowest." Mused Issei as he took a look around him, feeling the cold evening wind.

"Oh well, better get home before my parents get there." Said Issei to himself as he departed for home.

After a few minutes, Issei arrived home and seeing that his parents were asleep he simply went to take a shower and eat something before going to bed.

In his dreams Issei found himself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by an inferno and from that inferno two emerald eyes were watching him with interest.

[Iseei Hyoudou, we meet again] Spoke a deep ancient voice filled with power and might.

"W-Who are you? What are you doing here in my dream?" Stuttered terrified Issei.

[You have already forgotten about me? I was the one that gave you the power to defeat that little crow you were fighting after all.] Told the dragon as he stepped out of inferno to be directly in front of Issei. Rising to its full height which was more than 50 meters. A dragon had red scales that looked like it could take a nuclear explosion and still remain without a scratch on them and emerald eyes that sent a shiver down Issei's spine as he looked at them.

"Y-You are Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor, the Heavenly Dragon?" Asked Issei still afraid of the massive red dragon whose power was said to rival gods and maous.

[In deed I am, and I am your partner from now on. You do not need to be worried, I will not harm you.] Ddraig reassured the boy. The dragon looked down on Issei seeing his expression as Issei was beginning to shake in fear at the thought of a massive dragon he was talking to.

"I-Its nice to meet you Ddraig, I'm Issei Hyoudou, but you know that already I presume. " Told Issei now feeling a little relaxed as he felt that the dragon in front of him would not hurt or eat him.

[Yes I know who you are and until recently I couldn't make a connection to you, to speak with you because you were too weak for that, but your emotions and desire for power had made that connection possible. But now the question is what do you intend to do with my power that is at your disposal?] Spoke Ddraig in his powerful voice as he still looked down at his partner.

"I want to get stronger so that I can prevent what happened to Asia to happened to other people I love and care for, I will do anything that is necessary to get stronger, I will even suppress as much as possible my lecherous behavior if it is necessary." Issei honestly told the Red Dragon Emperor.

Ddraig was very amused at what his host said. Sure he was weakling, but he had great potential and if he has was willing to go through the pains and horrors of what he was going to teach him. Then maybe, some others that he knew if they were willing will teach him and train him. But he first needs to confirm it with his partner and see if what he was going to do with it when he gets what he wanted.

[That is very interesting partner, I can see a strong will and desire from you, but if you truly plan on getting stronger that you must do it quickly because now that your Sacred Gear is activated you will attract both strong enemies and allies to you. Many of them, stronger than you. Are you ready for that Issei Hyoudou? Because if you try to run away they will go for those you love and care to get to you.]

Issei gulped at that. That was something that he wanted to avoid at all cost, to fight the foes that are much stronger and have much, much more experience in combat than him was dangerous and even worse is that the said foes are going to go after the people that he wanted to protect if they can't get to him.

"Yeah, I am ready as I ever be." Said Issei to Ddraig as he looks up at him with a strong desire in his eyes.

[Very well, I, Ddraig, The Red Dragon Emperor will aid you in your quest but for now this is all the time we can talk here. But rest assured we can now talk even when you are not dreaming. But you'll need to become stronger enough for that] Told Ddraig as inferno suddenly disappeared just as it appeared waking Issei from his slumber just before his alarm came.

"Wow, that was a strange dream I had." Mumbled Issei as he looked around his room.

[That was not dreamed partner, it was real.] Said a deep and powerful voice.

"W-what? So I wasn't just dreaming." Issei muttered.

[Correct partner, what we talked about was all real and it will happen if you don't become stronger.]

"O-okay than, what do you suggest Ddraig? What should I do to get more powerful? " Ask Issei filling a little dread creeping up his back.

[You should start with your physical strength, since from what I can see your magic is down to the bottom to almost non-existing. That will help you maintain more than a few boosts in a fight and will also increase your stamina.] Adviced Ddraig as he analyzed Issei's body and magical reserves.

"Hmm, that is a good idea, I'm more of a close-combat fighter that a magic user, never liked magic anyway."

With that the conversation's done Ddraig returned to his slumber, telling Issei to if he needs his help to just summon the Booster Gear and he will wake up.

After getting up and putting on his school clothes, he started packing his training clothes into his bag, as he planned for the next three to four weeks train himself to become stronger, with his mindset, he went down to the kitchen to eating breakfast with his parent before going out to train.

Of course, he didn't tell his parents that, because he was sure that all hell will break loose if his parents found out what he became and that just by knowing him that they were in danger.

With his preparations completed Issei set out to go train and if the dragon was in a good mood, maybe he could learn some other things from the Heavenly Dragon that would be helpful in the future.

After about half an hour, Issei made it to his destination. An open field outside Kuoh, far enough for him to train and not be bothered by anyone. He stood in the opening with his bag on his shoulder looking at the field in front of him, and with satisfied nodded he began with his training.

For the first hour or so Issei just did simple exercises, running, jumping-jacks, push-ups, sits-up. After doing the basics and feeling a little tired, Ddraig instructed Issei that he should try doing the same exercises as before but with one boost.

[Partner you should try using one boost and it will give you enough power to do those exercises easily, but it will leave you exhausted after the effect wears out. It will also be good to your expending stamina and for your body to get used to added strength. So the side effect of the Booster Gear won't affect you later on.] Explained Ddraig as Issei took to the heart what the legendary dragon said.

Of course, Ddraig warned him that the more he uses the Booster Gear and the more he boost, the drain on his stamina will be greater, so it would be smart to start small and after few days to increase the number of boosts.

So for the rest of the day, Issei did the exercises with adding some new ones to make it even more difficult for him as much as possible to grow more.

This patent was repeated during whole month and during breaks in between exercises, Ddraig educated Issei on what he knew and what was important for him at the time to know, about the supernatural world, about three factions, dragons, youkai, vampires, nekomata etc.

During his education, he found out that when the wielder of the Sacred Gear dies a small part of his soul was transferred there and kept. Ddraig also mentioned his eternal battle against his rival the "Wight One" or also know as Vanishing Dragon- the English Dragon Emperor- forbidden move Balance Breaker that Issei was still far, far away to unlock it.

During his training Ddraig started to teach Issei magic and as expected Issei found that it was even harder and difficult for him that physical part of the training, since Ddraig's most powerful move was Fire breath that was so powerful that it would burn even Gods and wouldn't die down until only ashes are left, that was what the mighty dragon taught Issei.

And so his monthly training slowly finished, Issei knew he improved in stamina and strength, but he also knew that it was far cry from being at some decent power level that he can begin to try and do things that will lead him to his peace and safety of his loved ones. While his physical training showed some improvements his magical training was still an area that he was extremely lacking.

With all the training and education on his new life and what he can expect in future courtesy of Red Dragon of Domination, Issei was finally confident to return to his "normal" way of life.

It happened to be Monday that he return to school and his "friends". As he walks through the school gate he was meet with a sight that made him want to laugh, all students eyes landed on him the moment he stepped through the gate, some people were wondering who was the new guy, some girl were also thinking that he looked cute and handsome.

It looked that they all forgotten him during his month of training, although to their defense he did look a little different from before.

Before he looked a little skinnier and had an average built body, but after his whole month worth of training he gained little more muscle and more athletic, let his hair grow slightly to his shoulder, and his face became a little sharper than before.

While walking to his classroom he could hear thanks to his devil senses what other people were talking about and that made him almost burst up laughing.

"Wow look at the new kid, his cute isn't he?" Spoke some girl to her friends will looking at him with stars in her eyes.

"I wonder if he single?" Told another, as he walks past them trying his best not to start laughing.

As he entered his classroom he was met with silence as everyone was looking at him with confusion as to why was a new student at the entrance of their classroom.

"Sorry for being late, teacher, I overslept." Spoke Issei as he bowed to the teacher that still looked at him with a confused expression.

"I didn't receive anything about a new student coming to this class. Who are you?" Said the teacher, still not recognizing Issei.

"It's me, teacher, Hyoudou Issei." Told Issei to the now shocked whole classroom.

"What!? That guy is the pervert beast Hyoudou!?" Yelled in shock females in class.

They still couldn't believe that they didn't recognize him the moment he entered through the gate, and when some of them remembered that they called him cute and asked if he was solo it made them go green in the face.

"Issei, man we are glad that you are finally back, the school wasn't the same without you bro!" yelled two male students. One had athletic built body and was both bold and bald, his name was Matsuda he was one of the biggest perverts in school, a self-proclaimed lolicon, and his nickname was "Sexual Harassment Paparazzi". while the other was skinny, had black hair, and was wearing glasses, his name was Motohama he had an ability that can get accurate female's measurements at sight- his nickname was " Three Sized Scouter" .

They with Issei were known as "Perverted Trio", for their tendency to peek at girls while changing, their special target was the Kendo Club that had some of the most beautiful girls in it. The said Kendo Club was also their main enemy since every time they peek at them it was almost for sure that they would end up getting the beat down.

With the classroom in an uproar, the teacher began to calm down the students, after regaining some control over the situation he asks the million dollar question.

"Where have you been Hyoudou? It was over a month since you disappeared ." Stated the teacher.

"I had some unexpected family problems that made it impossible for me to come to school." Answered the brunette.

"I hope that the problem is solved now and that you will have your full attention on the lectures that are coming up. Also, come to teacher hall during lunch break to get all your missed assignments."

"Yes, the problem was solved and thank you, teacher, can I go to my seat now?"

"You may."

With a bow, Issei made his way to his seat, all eyes were on him, as he started to pull out his school supplies. One pair of purple eyes were narrowed and specifically glued to him as they watched him.

The class after Issei came, returned relatively to normal as it could be, some students were still surprised, some upset that the pervert beast returned, and some shell-shocked that they thought that he was a new student.

After the class was over all of his classmates surrounded him and started bombarding him with questions about what happened to him and where he was….

"Where have you been Issei we were worried sick about you! You didn't tell anyone what happened to you and even ORC didn't know where you were!" Yelled Motohama and Matsuda at the same time.

"Like I told the teacher, I had some family emergency that left me in no condition to come to school." Said Issei.

"Okay, then with that done, what do you say about getting to see some nice pieces of the body? We found some new places that will give us all that could dream." Motohama told Issei while pushing his glasses up.

That made all female in the room to send death glares at them. They were shocked at Issei's answer as they never in a million years thought they will hear it.

"Nah, I'm not in the mood today guys, maybe next time." Said Issei as he put his head on the table. While that was a technical a lie, it was also a good opportunity to tow down his less popular tendency.

"Wh-What? Issei what are you saying? Are you feeling well?" Stuttered Matsuda.

"Yeah, I'm all right, I'm just not in the mood today to go with you guys."

That made some girls that were listing the conversation to pull the two perverts away from Issei so that they could confront him.

"Well, that was the unexpected answer coming from the 'Breast Beast'. What, we aren't good enough for you now, ne Hyoudou?" Mocked a pink-haired girl as she stood in front of Issei.

"I thought that with me gone for a whole month and not peeking on you, and not doing it today would at least make you happy a little bit more Katase." Muttered Issei, his voice tired of the constant sarcastic remarks of the pink headed girl.

"We are very happy about that Issei, but it's really strange hearing it from you of all people, you know that right?" Spoke brunette girl that was a few centimeters taller than Katase.

"Well, as much as it is strange hearing it from me, Murayama, even I have those days, that isn't to say that both of you are not good enough, heck both of you are very beautiful, if I may say so myself." Told Issei as he moved his head so it was resting on his cheek and looking directly at Murayama. Both girls blush their cheeks turning a little red at the comment he made about them.

That left both Murayama and Katase dumbfounded. They were very both happy at what Issei said. Happy that he wasn't going to peep on them at least for today, and maybe there was a slim chance that the "Pervert Trio" will be cut down to "Pervert Duo". That would be a miracle that both Murayama and Katase would gladly pray for- Issei suddenly got a headache.

Whit all that said and done the rest of the day went as one can expect, Issei was under a constant barrage of questions about his disappearance and return, he didn't even acknowledge his King and rest of ORC as he made sure to be as distant as possible.

"Well, well, well, look at who came back after a whole month." Spoke a familiar voice filled with sarcasm from behind him.

"Oh, Raynare didn't know that you are in my class." Said surprised Issei as he turns around to the familiar voice, only to look at Raynare and was not surprised to see her in her Yumma form that she used to get him on that fateful day.

"My name in school is Yumma, remember that." Hissed Raynare as she stepped closer to him.

"Yeah, yeah, so what do you want "Yumma" ?" Ask Issei in his uninteresting voice.

"Where have you been you jerk? And Rias wants to see you after school." Nearly yelled furious Raynare at the boy who ruined her life.

"Where I was isn't important and you can tell Rias that I don't care what she wants. I will come to the clubroom when I feel like it." Issei told her in a serious voice while rising a little bit of his aura for her to get a point that Issei was serious.

Raynare cringe a bit when she felt his aura come near her, she still remembered well that night at church when he was close to snapping and when he almost killed her.

"F-fine, be it your way." Said the half-breed as she made her way towards ORC to tell her King what the Pawn said.

"Well, that went better than I expected." Said to himself Issei as he when home.

As he went going home Issei didn't realize that he was followed by someone who was going to change he life upside down even more.

And done.

Also, I have already selected his peerage but he won't receive his evil pieces until later, but he will meet some of his future members soon.
