"So, you find it amusing when they try to fight me?" Issei shook his head in disbelief, still trying to comprehend Red's perspective.
"Damn right. I get to witness my little protégé build his reputation as a dragon," Red proclaimed with pride.
"You seriously find this entertaining?" Issei scoffed, struggling to understand his mentor's amusement.
Red chuckled once again, surprising Issei. "Surprisingly, yes. Seeing you take on challenges and grow stronger is rather enjoyable."
Interrupting their banter, Ddraig urged Issei, "Regardless of that, you should tell Red about what we learned recently."
"Oh, right," Issei said, shifting to a more serious tone. "Ddraig and I discovered that Ophis is actually building an army to fight against you, Red. That's why I thought that dream might have been real."
Red seemed almost offended by the suggestion. "Kid, do you seriously think they stand a chance against me? In that dream, I wasn't even moving at full speed or using my true power. If that were real, I would have turned around and unleashed my full fury, torching that creature and running it over!" he declared proudly.
Issei shook his head, realizing his mentor's invincible strength. "Of course, I don't think they can take you. It was just a stupid dream."
Clearly unbothered, Red asserted, "Let Ophis come at me with her weak little army like that! She knows better than to cross my path!"
Concerned about the situation, Issei inquired, "Do you think we should do something about it?"
Red's response was a rough growl, "You're implying that I take this seriously? C'mon, kid... really? Miss me with the concern. I thought you were a dragon."
Feeling the need to reaffirm his determination, Issei immediately retorted, "I am a dragon! You're right; it's nothing for you to worry about. I'm just furious that they even dared to consider such an idea in the first place!"
"Then teach them a lesson. Watching them all try to fight you might be quite entertaining," Red suggested, his amusement evident.
"Fuck that... I seriously don't want to get involved in all that mess," Issei retorted, shaking his head firmly.
Red couldn't resist teasing, "Yeah, well, you're the one who wanted to go to school like some riajuu dweeb instead of doing awesome stunts with me."
"It was only supposed to be for a few more years! I never expected all this chaos to start happening," Issei protested, feeling overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events.
"Well, since it is happening, make sure you do me proud out there. I'll be cheering you on the whole way, kid," Red declared, his pride for his young protégé shining through.
Issei rolled his eyes playfully, "Gee, thanks for the encouragement."
"Also, make sure you're free next week. I'm planning a FOUR PORTAL EXPLOSION STUNT, and your ass better be here to witness it! It's going to be one hell of a burnout!" Red bellowed excitedly.
"I'm kind of pissed I missed the three portal one," Issei admitted, feeling a hint of regret.
Red's grin widened, relishing the memory, "Oh, it was the best rush I've had in forever! There was so much destruction!"
"I wouldn't miss the four portal one for the world, aniki!" Issei said with genuine enthusiasm.
"Cheer up, kid... and if your little human life gets too mundane, I'll come visit you," Red offered with a hearty laugh as Issei's vision started to fade to black.

Issei's House
Issei gradually awakened to the sound of his alarm clock going off. His eyes opened to see the time on the clock - 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday. He let out a tired yawn as he sat up in bed, trying to shake off the remnants of his strange and unsettling dream.
"Good morning, senpai! I cooked you breakfast…you know I wouldn't mind cooking for you all the time if you'd like," the alarm clock's voice chimed, followed by an offer that seemed to be a mix of affection and humor.
Issei chuckled and turned off the alarm, knowing that today's alarm clock personality was a lovestruck cook. As he got out of bed and stretched, he couldn't help but think about the peculiar dream he had, with Great Red and Ophis in the midst of a fierce battle.
"Great Red doesn't seem to think they're a threat. I suppose if it doesn't concern him, then I shouldn't let it bother me either," Issei mused, communicating with Ddraig in his mind.
"You're right, Issei. Focus on your own challenges for now. Your priority is to get Xenovia and Irina enrolled in Kuoh Academy," Ddraig advised.
"I wonder how I'm going to convince the president to get them in," Issei sighed, pondering the task ahead as he got dressed and checked his phone.
Surprisingly, there were no messages from Serafall this time. Instead, there were two unread messages. The first one was from his parents, updating him on their vacation. He quickly skimmed through it, not wanting to be bogged down with details.
The second message, from an unknown sender, caught his attention. It seemed to be some kind of religious advertisement or preaching, urging him to find purpose in life and embrace God and the Kingdom of Heaven. Issei rolled his eyes in annoyance, wondering how on earth his number got into the hands of such people.
"Is this some kind of spam or prank? How do these people even get my number?" he grumbled.
Frustration and curiosity mixed in Issei's mind as he decided to reply to the mysterious sender's messages. His response was straightforward and unfiltered, "Whoever this is, go fuck yourself. God is dead, and angels are weak."
To his surprise, the sender replied again, seemingly aware of Issei's identity, "You know about that, Issei Hyoudou?"
His eyes widened, realizing the situation might be more serious than he initially thought. He quickly fired back, "Who the fuck is this?! How did you get this number?! Answer me!"
The mysterious sender's response was cryptic yet intriguing, "You're a nice person for helping those exorcists. You carry God's light within you even though he's gone."
