44 Chapter XXXV: Training and Surprises

October 23rd of 1992. Hogwarts Castle.

Yozora's POV

It's been almost two months since the start of the school year and it has been pretty calm. With the recent addition of Yor/Death being in our "inner" circle of friends though different from us, she was in the fourth year, something that made me a little bit confused since her whole reason for being here was to expend time with me, but her reason was basically "Because I am the One-sama in your life~"... I wonder if Fuga told her about some of my...preferences.

*Cough* But regardless of that even if we take into consideration the class time, we are spending more time together than before since she previously had time once in a while. And it sure surprised me when she could use the time turner with me, honestly, I, thought that the world would implode or something like that if there were two Death's at the same time, but since she was on her vessel that hides her Divinity there is no problem, or so she says.

She also gets along pretty well with everyone and on many occasions, she hangs out with Daphne and Tracey for the "Girl's Time", even Astoria goes with them from time to time and she even likes Death very much… Sometimes the world is just unjust. And one of her favorite activities that do not involve me is to do the girls' hair, especially Luna whom Death is very fond of since she goes from time to time to play and take care of the Thestrals, one of the few creatures that are under Death's domain.

Speaking of Luna, she and Ginny hang out with us from time to time and I must say that the books seriously underrated how much of a fangirl Ginny was, something that earned a lot of teasing from everyone…. Okay, it was just me. But I am not doing it because I ship them, or anything is just for the sake of making fun of Harry because since the end of the last school year, we've been on a silent war of making fun between us at every chance we have but I don't know how but it seems that I am losing…stupid Fate she still salty.

Kise and Nakiri also hang with us on some occasions. Is it like I am ignoring them or anything is it just like they are taking a slow approach with us. After the first day, Kise became pretty chill and we are on pretty good terms, he is pretty popular among the Quidditch players since he is a pretty good player and even the Slytherin captain asked him to join the team but he refused to say that there is a rule that an exchange student can't be regulars, of course, this was a lie but I didn't snitch on him, but I am still decided to play Basketball with him…also he seems to be an Otaku/Geek from the bottom of his heart, something that earned him brownie points with Blaise.

With Nakiri as previously assumed she is a lot less haughty than her anime/manga counterpart, but she still has this "Noble Pride" on her. She befriended the House Elves pretty quickly after she told them about her condition and her need of cooking her food, at first they were a little bit reluctant of letting her do so but reached a middle point where she will go and cook her meals while teaching them a little bit of cooking something that the elves liked very much as soon they started to introduce new dishes in the meals. So far, she has had a polite relationship with everyone though she seems to like to talk with Luna…Not that I can't blame her.

At the start of the school year, Kise and Nakiri asked us to show them around Hogwarts, and since the classes didn't start till Monday, I didn't have much of a problem helping them, and taking the opportunity we also brought Ginny and Luna along. So, we show them around the castle and gave them some tips on how to reach the important places a little bit faster. I also take them to the Black Lake.

*Flashback*

"This is the Great Lake, better known as the Black Lake for the reason that you can see. Some students come here to practice simple spells since it is peaceful, but I advise you not to send any "lousy " spell towards the lake or you will upset Squidward."

"Squidward?" Nakiri asked rather confused.

"The giant squid on the lake is very friendly towards the students but can be a little grumpy when there's is a lot of noise. But hell, he is too skilled on Tic-Tac-Toe."

"You are kidding right?" Kise asked but I just smiled at him. "Right?"

"I saw it," Luna said with her dreamy tone. "He even greeted me on our way to the castle."

"Yup, definitely he is kidding."

Grinning, I took a deep breath. "Squidward come here to play!" I said out loud and after a few seconds the Giant Squid showed itself, but if you look closer it seems a little bit annoyed.

"I think that Mr. Squid doesn't like that name," Luna said looking at Squidward.

"Nah, you are imagining things," I said as I waved my hand creating a Tic-Tac-Toe board, and as soon as I finish there was glitter in his eye, and swan rapidly to the shore and quickly draw an "X" on the center of the board.

Kise and Nakiri deadpanned hard at the scene, and I just started to play with one of the strongest opponents I faced in this world.

"Are you serious?" Kise said in utmost surprise.

"Give up and accept your new reality," Harry said as if he didn't have more give a fuck to give. I mean what the hell did it happen, sure he spent more time at my house, but I toned down what I did in front of him.

"Damn Harry what did happen to you?" Blaise asked wondering why Harry was like this since the start of the year. "...Yor from where you took those flags?" He said deadpanning at her.

"Do your best Yo-kun!" Yor cheered at me.

"Don't give up Mr. Squid." Luna cheered while holding little flags with a draw of a squid on them.

"Can I have one?" Asked Tracey.

"Me too." Daphne also asked.

*End of the flashback*

Currently, we are in DADA's class with Professor Kim, different from Professor Lupin's, Professor Kim's classes are more on the practical side, not that the former doesn't teach any spells rather than that...

"Stop showing off," Blaise said as we were jogging around the castle.

"I'm not." A said jogging beside him, "I'm even going at your same speed."

"You are jogging backward," Blaise said with some exasperation.

"So? If I wanted to brag, I would be 'running' with my arms." I said reminiscing about a certain scene from the strongest disciple. "Besides don't act like you are struggling," I said rolling my eyes.

"True," Daphne said while looking at me. "Yozora's training is harder."

"No kidding," Ron said at this point he was in a friendly relationship with everyone. "Even if I don't do the same crazy training as all of you, the one he gifted me is hard enough."

While did indeed make an effort after I gave him some encouraging words on Christmas/Yule, following the training regimen but outside training to enter the Quidditch team he wasn't interested in martial arts or other forms of self-defense, though I convinced him to learn the basics, as well as some wizardry.

"Well to begin with is not that hard," Harry said nonchalantly.

"Yup, I mean compared to making a thousand swings, this is rather dull," Tracey said not exhausted at all as she besides me, is the one with the most stamina in the group.

"Tracey for the last time I didn't mean it literally," I said with some exasperation, seriously from all the nonsense I say who would think that she would take those so seriously.... well now I know that they are true but in different worlds.

"Meh, I will do it anyway."

"But you know this is not that easy for the rest of the class..."Neville said not referring to himself but to most of the class.

Looking at the rest of the class besides our group almost everyone seems to be having rough breathing patterns. Even if wizards and witches have bodies stronger than non-magical humans since they are young and most of them have never engaged in any kind of physical training, except some muggle-borns and half-bloods well that would be the case if we were talking about the "formal" members of the houses.

"Ne, Erinacchi why are they so out of shape? This is just P.E,"

"From what Oji-sama told me, that is rather uncommon for wizards/witches from this country to train their bodies."

"I see, so it's a country full of Kuramadoshis(Black Mages) and Shiroumadoshis(White Mages)?" Kise asked in a rather familiar term…

But Nakiri let out a sigh at her friend's question. "Again with your obsession with those muggle games...but not inaccurate. But mind your words or else you are going to create a misunderstanding."

"Who is talking about Final Fantasy?" I said behind them.

"KYAAAA" Kise let out a very masculine scream at the surprise. "What are you doing over there? weren't you at the front of the course?" Kise said, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

"I was but my geek senses were tingling."

"You are kidding right?" Kise said with a clear deadpan on his face.

"Nope"

"So you are also into that stuff," Erina asked and made an expression as if she was taking a mental note.

"Yup, before coming here I thought that it would be awesome to cast magic like that." Maybe one day I can nuke someone with a [Zettaflare] or use [Reflega] against Vali to piss him and Albion off or even better use [Holy] on Diodora's ugly face.

"Mmm but you don't look like any of those if anything you might be a Monk," Kise said trying to hold his laugh.

Well not that I can't blame him for thinking so, after all even if fewer people are actively trying to piss me off, there are still many people that just don't seem to understand… like Malfoy. "While I am technically a Magus, I am more like an Akamajutsushi(Red Wizard) on steroids." And technically Dragoon but without the revenge lore.

But Kise seems confused at my statement. "Huh? But that doesn't make any sen-."

"Everyone stop!" Professor Kim said and all the people in the class halted in an instant, some even dropped to the floor exhausted.

Professor Kim's face looked stoic as always. "You can rest for 5 minutes." At his words, everyone let out a sigh of relief. "But first…" And now everyone looked depressed.

"Choose a partner for CQC practice, you have a minute." He said glancing at me.

I grinned at his words. "Okay, guys who want to…" But in less than a second everyone got away from me, even the ones who were on the floor.

"*sighs* Since there is no volunteer… Blaise, you are the chosen one." I said pointing at my friend who looked at me with despair in his eyes.

/Author notes: Pointing at people is rude, don't do it at home. //

"Why is it always me? Kise is closer than me, he can be your partner." Blaise said throwing the metaphorical ball towards our yellow-haired friend.

"Sure, I don't mind, besides I am confident that I can win against him," Kise said with confidence and a toothy grin.

Everyone but Nakiri deadpanned at him, sure he has seen me dealing with other people with physical violence but… everything ended with a single slap. So thinks that I am just physically stronger than the rest.

"Idiot," Harry said but still made a small prayer for him.

"Kise your sacrifice won't be forgotten," Blaise said with fake tears in his eyes.

"Someone bring a medic…for Kise," Tracey said laughing.

"To think that there would be someone dumber than me…" Ron said self-burning himself…well at least he knows that he is not the brightest mind out there.

"Rest in peace." Oi Daphne, you are exaggerating!

"I feel bad for him… but I wouldn't change places with him regardless of that." Even the kind Neville was making fun of Kise.

But Kise became mildly annoyed at this. "Oi, you are underestimating me! I will win just to prove all of you wrong."

"Sure, buddy sure," I said with a lot of sarcasm. "Well, I will warm up before-"

"Mr. Hoshimura." Professor Kim said earning the attention of everyone. "You will spar with me for today." He said in a definitive tone.

"All right professor," I said to him with a serious face, but internally I was grinning like a madman.

I hope he is as skilled as his Manhwa counterpart; sure I don't think that he would go all with a student…but maybe I can push him to go a little bit farther than he would usually go. I wonder if the others "me" are having fun.

...

Yozora's Clone P.O.V (Ichiban)

"The original must be in classes right now and here am I working my ass off, seriously how shameless can we be," I said with a hint of humor as the blue fire was all around me. "Usually would be the clone that attends classes and the original would go to train....meh whatever is not like we ever followed common sense." Mainly because we need that sense of normalcy that the school gives us...well as normal as a Wizardry school can be.

"Besides it is better than being the one of us that is working on Mental Arts, Aqua knows how much headache is for us to train that kind of ability," I don't envy that bastard, but admittedly is a very good skill to have as even with the protection with the Ring Of The Luci there are some extra benefits about practicing. It is not like we never trained before but at best we did the basis with so many things we have in hand, not that we regret not buying the book when we arrived here since we got in our hands something better, not to mention that it would be a waste of resources back then taking into consideration that it was something that we could get our hands on practically for free in this world.

Every one of us had a mission. Mine was to get used to the Purgatory Flames and even if we had the Time-turner to get some extra time, experience is the best teacher, so we decided to split to different parts of the world for practical "training" except the original and the one practicing Mental Arts.

"But I must say that these flames are pretty neat, they live for their name as they give me some vibes similar to some of the weapons inside Armirger." Even though the name seems pretty self-explanatory we had our doubts about it, as we weren't sure if the concept of "hell" was something symbolic in that world, but they truly are Hell Flames. Now that I think about it I can use "Holy" and "Demonic" elements....suck it Kiba.

"Well the bare basis of Satan Blaze is already done, I still have problems with the Pyrokinesis and "Elemental transformation" but taking into consideration the time we had, it is good to advance however the most interesting part is that the fire is the concept of "burn", Belphegor is an odd one since it's supposed to "burn" special abilities, we can't be certain of how effective it is but at least we learned that it also burns "life force" although not much, maybe we need more proficiency with it. Mammon is an interesting one since technically it counts as two flames, a blue and a yellow one, the first being the hot flame and the yellow one the cold one. In the manga, they were only used together so we didn't have much information about them. The hot flame compared with Satan Blaze is a little bit hotter though the concept of "burn" is not as deep as Satan Blaze, as for the cold one it kinda reminds me of Ultimate Big Chill from Ben 10 although weaker since he can freeze everything to the absolute zero...please nerf. With the other 4, I still have to make any major improvements as they are a little bit unruly, but nothing that a little bit of patience and comprehension can't fix...those are the names of my fist imbued with holy power."

As I continue walking I noticed that there are fewer mindless creatures around the castle the closer I get, maybe whoever is that is inside thought that it was not necessary. So far there have been a couple of Inferi, Doxi, Trolls, and to my utmost surprise a Runespoor, not the strongest creature out there but strong for a regular Wizard/witch and problematic with that kind of venom, they were referred to as evil creatures since many Dark Wizards that were Parseltonnge control them, sure they are aggressive and all but usually they just mind their business unless you enter to their territory that makes me wonder how he can control it as even if is not impossible to tame in many times harder to not make them hurt other creatures around.

Once in the castle gates, two stone statues began to move, and with the stone halberds in both of their hand moving towards me but at the end of the day…

"Useless," I said, raising both of my hands sensing waves of blue fire toward the golems leaving nothing but ashes. "Well, these were rather weak, but not surprising since it seems that their purpose was to be merely a distraction." After that, I proceeded to kick the entrance door to enter the castle.

To be honest, the inside of the castle seems to be pretty cliche from what one would expect from a generic Dark Wizard, dark corridors, some torches here and there, and dusty as hell, but once I got deeper into the castle I started to hear something, high pitch cackles, and screams…

"Fuck!" Ignoring the self-imposed restriction made by the original I tore through the fabrics of space toward the direction of the sound and once I passed through the portal I just felt one emotion seeing the thing in front of me...rage, sheer unadulterated rage.

In the room, there were a lot of cages similar to the ones used for dangerous beasts, engraved with some runes, but the thing is that there are no beasts inside them but kids no older than 10 years old. And the cackles were Irklings disgusting creatures that feed on kids, that sound serves like a hypotonic chant toward kids. The flow of Magic Energy around the kids was erratic and in disarray, most of them had several injuries around their bodies as well as malnutrition, but once I used [Clairvoyance(Beast)] on the kids I lost it,

I used [Satan Blaze] against those disgusting things incinerating them in less than a second not even leaving their souls behind.

I ignored the man that was beside the creatures and went directly to the kids. I tore the bars of the cages with my bare hands as I was using the strengthening runes as well as Reinforcement."Everything will be alright, I am here." I said with a soft tone as I didn't want to scare the kids more than there were at the moment.

"You can't take my test subje-" The imbecile tried to say something but he got quiet once I sent my killing intent towards him. If even the so-called "greatest wizard of all times' couldn't go against it, the fool didn't have any chance.

"Can we go?" One boy no older than 8 muttered in disbelief.

"Yes, I will take you to a safe place," I reassured the kid. I will drop them to one of our safe houses near Switzerland for the moment as we don't have a base in this country.

Many of the kids started to cry as somebody finally came to save them. But one of the girls steered at me with a pleading expression. "Kill…him."The little girl muttered as tears started to fall from her eyes. "That monster killed my older sister, she tried to protect me, but, but, he got angry and made those creatures…" The girl could not continue as she started to cry harder.

"Do not worry child, I will handle this, but for the time being I will send you to a safe place before anything else." After saying those words she nodded as I opened a portal to my safe house, as all the kids left the place.

Once the kids were out of the place, I turned around to look at the wizard. Usually, we have the demons on a tight leash but today would be an exception.

Seven shadow-like creatures appeared behind me, giving a dreadful feeling to anyone in the place.

"..M-monster..." The wizard muttered in fear as he was staring at me.

"The nerve you have to call me that way after everything you had done,"

"For someone that has done some pretty inhuman things." Even with all the "cleaning" jobs in the summer, there is always scum lying around, not that we condemn human experimentation as we have been doing it for some months, it would be hypocritical of us to do so, yet…

"Trying to create and control Obscurials." I scowled under my hood. "Torturing little kids just for your benefit, I don't want to even use you as experiment material, and sending you to Death's domain would just tarnish it, sure she has a place to torment souls like yours for eternity but is not worthy."

"Don't fuck with me!" The wizard screamed at me. "You don't understand, that is the key to making us immortal to elevate our existence! A thing like you wouldn't understa-!" Whatever else he tried to say, I didn't care as I raised him and held him by the throat.

"You like experiments, don't you?" I said as Blue flames started to burst from all around my body.

"Let's see what happens to your soul after this."

"S-sto-"

"Burn away," I said incinerating the fool in an instant, usually even his soul would be sent to nothingness with our flames, but oh no this guy will wish that we are so lenient.

....

Yozora's Clone (Niiban) P.O.V

"Some people just don't seem to understand," I said as I evaded some idiot's punch.

Unlike the others that decided to do some sort of "mission", I just decided to wander to a random place as I opened a portal and see what happened. And while I don't have any proof, I have no doubts that Fate is still being petty with me as the random coordinates that took me to China…and to be specific in the territory that is controlled by that damn Peng Peng!

And as soon as they recognized me they charged at me like the bunch of morons that they are as they seem to forget my deal with the Chinese Magical Community. Seriously I know that we make fun of Young Masters and how moronic they are, but I thought that at least they would behave themselves since the last time I was here whatever is the equivalent of this place from the ministry didn't take very well their little ploy.

"Surrender yourself!" One grunt said while pointing his spear at me.

"Look buddy, I haven't done anything…yet. Believe me, if I had any intentions all of you would be talking with your ancestors in this very instant." I tried to reason with the idiot in front of me.

But it seems that my kind words just fell on deaf ears since not only did he ignore my words but he had the gallantry to get mad. "You are courting death!"

Yeah…I don't know why I expected something different from this lot.

Leaving stereotypes aside, not all the people of the Chinese Magical Community act like…well a bunch of Pengs. It just happened that like in most countries, there are some old houses that their arrogance knows no limit.

"*sighs* I might as well use this chance to train." I sighed at the sheer idiocy of these people. [En] I said internally to myself as I extended my aura in a two-meter radius.

I kept my relaxed stand but, in another hand, the bunch of Pengs started to surround me and took a fighting stance. And after a second of tension (not really) one of them charged towards me at a considerable speed, that would take by surprise your average wizard… but I am not an average wizard.

He threw a punch at me which I just backstepped to avoid. But taking the chance I Axe Kicked on the nape, making him drop to the ground but before his head touched the ground I stopped it with the front part of my foot, just to high kick him on the head. And finally, I kicked him toward the other Sect(Wizard clan) Members.

Me taking care of a member of their clan in a nonchalant way, made them piss and made 2 of the members charge against me. I just rolled my eyes at the sheer stupidity of them and once they were near me I used an Aikido throw, slamming them to the ground.

Idiots there are 20 of you and just go one by one or in two have some common sense! When you have the advantage of numbers you need to overwhelm the opponent!! At least use some common sense for Aqua's sake!

And as if someone was hearing my thoughts, 10 of the members ran as fast as they could toward me, but I systematically started to take care of them one by one. Either by punching them on the chin, with a knee kick on the stomach, or by just slamming them on the ground.

Of the advanced techniques of Nen, [En] by far is my favorite one. Letting me know everything about the affected area I could fight with my eyes closed. Of course, we have [Mind Eye (Fake)] but I like this for crowd control, also once my reach gets wider I would use it to make recognition, I don't doubt that in the future I could do better than Neferpitou.

Using Nen is quite a complicated experience to describe for me at least. There are things with Nen that I already have done either with Magic(Potterverse) or Magecraft, so that gave me an edge to learn it. But in another hand, there are things with Nen that are harder to do, well not surprising though as I have just been training with it for a couple of months. But there is something else, the cap that comes with the Nen Affinity, sure there is something similar in Magecraft as well but here it feels more palpable, and I don't quite like it.

'But luckily….[Ken]'. I said internally, protecting myself from an incoming Talisman that exploded once it made contact with my Aura.

'I don't have to worry about that… Mmm, transition from metal to fire interesting.'

Da Vault is my inmate Nen's ability… is that a thing? Whatever, I didn't create the ability so I will call it like that.

With Conjuration, it creates as the name states a Vault, and the vault has three abilities. The first one to store any amount of raw aura or Hatsu inside of it, the best part is that it doesn't have to be mine. I cannot access it in the middle of a battle and can only store or withdraw from it 3 times a day.

The second one [Interest for the finest] is a complementary ability from the previous one, as it increases the amount of aura or Hatsu stored inside the vault, the longer and the bigger the amount of it is inside the vault.

And the third one, a powerful yet risky one [A blind debt shall be collected]. This ability allows me to collect a "debt" to someone I have defeated in battle, and what I collect is the Nen Affinity of said person. And as broken as it is it has some heavy restrictions and conditions.

The first one is that I cannot know the Nen affinity of said person that I collect the debt by any means or else I won't be able to use Nen ever again. The second one is that I must collect the debt within a maximum of two hours after I have defeated that person. The third one is that I am just allowed to use this ability once every 3 months. And the final one is that I can only use it 5 times ever and if I get an affinity that I already have at 100% it becomes null and a chance is wasted.

Usually in this world, it would be impossible to use the last ability since there are no Nen Users in this world, but since we are here and discovered a way to make Nen users, this was solved. But since we can't know the Nen affinity of the person we are using this ability, the original can use the clones and block the link between us or use the Imperious wizards to awaken their aura. Of course, we practiced a couple of times before actually using the ability.

We already used it once before the start of the school year and luckily the first affinity we got was [Enhancement] our worst affinity. The first time it was a given since the number of [Specialist] is low but with every, but with every new Nen Affinity gained, the chances of earning one that I don't have decreased a lot. Is not as simple as having 5/6 or 1/6 since many factors influence this.

But regardless of that, this is the perfect opportunity for us to get rid of weaknesses. Well for now it's the moment to finish this. And I might as well do it with some of the adjacent Nen Affinity from my original one, conjuration

With conjuration, visualization is everything when it comes to creating anything with it. Kurapika once mentioned that he even tasted chains to create his…weird. Whatever but different from people from that world we have [Structural Analysis] that lets us virtually know everything about an object.

So I decided to abuse this and re-create something feared in the whole omniverse.

Its fury knows no bounds.

Realms are shaken at its presence.

No mortal or god can stand against it.

The mightiest weapon of all.

Li Fan's brick…

Nah, as awesome as it would be, we have no means to recreate it at the moment, so it is just a durable brick but with the help of [Shu] well…

"Hey, are you a Dark Magician?" I asked with a grin behind my hood.

"What are you-?"

"Cause your face is full of brick," I said while slamming the brick on his face.

Unknown to me, the members of that sect(clan) developed a phobia against brick so bad that they had to move to the countryside.

Yozora's Clone (Sanbanme) P.O.V

"FUCK!" I couldn't help but scream at the exasperation of the situation. "I fucking hate this, seriously how did this happen?"

*Flashback*

"Okay so for today's activities, we need to decide how we are going to divide the activities, but first of all..."

"Dibs on attending the classes."

"Dibs on The Purgatory Flames"

"Dibs on training Nen"

"Dibs on Shamanism."

"Dibs on Bounded Fields"

"Dibs on...damn it!"

"Sorry bruh," The other 5 said at the same time not being sorry at all, I know this because I am them.

"Oi, aren't the clones the ones to go to classes so the original could train?" I complained to the other me.

"Stop being a sore loser and accept your destiny."

*Flashback Ends*

"*sighs* Well it could be worse, but it is necessary at the end of the day. The fact that our previous name was erased from existence had repercussions in our mind, so we have to fill the gaps of it."

At the start besides the continuous headaches every time I recalled something related to my former name. In the beginning, it was somewhat hard to wander around my memories avoiding anything related to my former name, but with time it got easier, but that was just a momentary solution.

Losing one's name is something that I wish to no one….well there can be exceptions. In my case is not as simple as that. We don't know why but losing our name was more than just forgetting something, it was like losing a piece of ourselves

To put it into perspective, it would be similar to a Servant losing a fragment of their Saint Graph, yeah that bad. So far by how Kazuma and the rest had been treating me we don't think that they know that there would be this sort of repercussions for that, maybe is because of the uniqueness of our soul, as I have been compared to others in my experiments and how Death talked about it.

So the best solution that we had was to overwrite our memories, a slow and complicated process, and painful in a way. Basically, we are inserting the name "Yozora Hoshimura" in every single memory that we have where our previous name, whatever it was, is mentioned, that's why the process is so painful.

By no means do we have an eidetic memory but our memory has been always good and with some tricks, we learned in our previous life among them the method of loci or better known as Memory Palace. And on top of that ever since my body becomes stronger all my functions become better including my memory. So even if I can't recall all my memories, I still can remember a pretty big amount of them.

In many fanfictions Occlumency is some sort of OP bullshit, that lets the user create Memory Palaces that hold every single piece of memory that the users have given them eidetic, creating mental shields that let them create Eldritch abominations to defend their minds among other things.

But the reality was often disappointing. Occlumency at least in this world is not OP, sure it has its benefits like helping in controlling emotions, a little increase in memorization, and defending the mind from outsiders, but useful at the end of the day so we are, still learning it. Maybe in the system store, there is, some book with that description since there are multiple versions of that book with different price ranges. But at the moment it is out of my range, besides it is not like in the future I can't find a way to have that kind of mental protection.

But returning to the overwriting of our memories, as painful as it is the effects of doing so are great, is like recovering a part of myself or becoming whole little by little, an interesting experience if we have to say. But since it is a delicate process we are doing this at a slow pace, though with time it has become a lot easier and smoother.

"Hopefully this will give us an edge against him."

Yozora's Clone(Yondaime)

//The one training Shamanism/Onmyodo.//

"Annoying pests!" I said throwing a shikigami at the horde of cursed spirits to block their advances. "Seriously who thought that it was a good idea to practice Necromancy in a fucking cursed graveyard!"

Usually, this wouldn't be a problem for us but we could just throw a bunch of holy weapons at those things, but since this branch of magic is too new for us, it is kinda hard for us to create a large-scale ritual since we only focused on the Materialization aspect of this branch.

{Winged Kuriboh, go inside the town and protect the people, make sure they don't see you.}

{Kuri-kuri!} Winged Kuriboh nodded as he flew towards the town.

I mean we wouldn't put innocent people in danger just for the sake of training, even with our "beginner" abilities the situation is not something too difficult, just annoying at best.

"*screams*" Something on the other side of the small village roared.

"Damn it, now what?" Focusing my sight on the noise direction I could see two undead animals that resemble a jaguar but the odd thing is that they were too big to be that animal. Around 2 and a half meters tall and 3 meters long. Another uncommon thing was the miasma that was falling from both of their jaws..."So a couple of Undead Nundus, no wonder why the necromancer was already dead as even after death their unruly nature still lingers in their bodies. Good thing that I send Winged Kuriboh to protect the villagers as the venom that they release can kill them almost instantly. That is one of the reasons many would rather face a dragon instead of them." Well, how should I take care of them?

{Roar!}

{Rooar}

It seems that my partners didn't like the fact to be compared with those "oversized" cats...their words, not mine.

{Are both of you sure that you want to make this your debut to the world? While we don't have a problem with that, those undead are not...worthy of you.}

{Roaar} Both of them roared affirming their desires.

{Fine, just remember that the spell is not finished so I will only be able to materialize your bodies for a short while} That's one of the other reasons that I haven't materialized them along with my other two partners, though the other one is on the calm side.

Taking a breath slowly the Magic Energy around me started to go wild as if a tornado surrounded me.

In my right hand, there is a silver bracelet with a Resurrection stone in the middle. With the help of death, we could modify the stone a little bit, and along with the enchanted bracelet engraved with runes together, they make a Mystic Code...weird to be one while the core is a Divine Construct, that facilitates the materialization of my Spirit Partners, though the spell still needs improvement to let them materialize for longer and to even materialize the other two.

"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation of shaking power!"

"In the deepest dark, the dragon of light will show, no darkness will prevail."

"Come forth our pride! Our soul"

"Double Oversoul!"

After finishing the aria, two dragons materialized.

The first one is a large humanoid bulky body. Most of its skin is back-colored but some red accents are running down from its neck, stomach, and legs. With three horns, the outer ones curved in a demonic manner, and his shoulder darker red shoulder pauldrons, thigh armor, forearm guards, and wing membranes. It has two wing fingers, each tipped at the top with a claw. His yellow eyes were staring at the Nundus.

The second one is a large western-like dragon. Its scales are a pristine white color with some blue shades. It has a long neck, body, and tail with some segmented-looking parts. It's with long and big sharp claws in all of its extremities. With big leather wings with some sharp-looking bones coming out from them and their jaw.

"Red Demon's Dragon!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"ROOOOAR!" With this my partners let the world know about their existence.

"Have fun guys, show this world what a true dragon is," I said with a grin on my face.

Yozora's Clone (Godaime)

"Thanks again, for helping me out," I said to Oberon who is currently helping me in the development of some Bounded Fields that will help me for my travel at the DXD World and in the upcoming battle against the Outer God.

"Don't mind Yozora-kun, it is fun to learn something new after so long," Oberon said with a gentle smile.

We asked him for help since he was able to create a whole dimension for his people, maybe we are talented in space magecraft/magic, but my knowledge is just from what I got from Cu's memories and some other books. But Oberon has more experience in this field, and experience is something valuable.

"Honestly is refreshing to have someone to talk about this field as most of the people outside here are…." I tried to search for a word that didn't sound rude.

"Incompetent?" Oberon asked with a small smirk.

"Yeah hahaha." Well, he said it. "While their wards have a lot of very useful effects they are not that strong and the really strong ones have a lot of requirements to properly work"

"It's not surprising, even before Somnus curse the number of people that were competent using them was so little and the ones that were capable of creating spells around them were even less, and as far as I remember besides Somnus, and I there was just one other person capable of creating pocket dimension."

"I see." Well, is not that surprising even if this world's magic system is very flexible there are always things that are limited depending on the world. In DXD healing is one of them, they can do a lot of bullshit things, but they are severely limited in options when it comes to healing.

"But this Anti-Flying Bounded Field is very interesting, sure it would limit us the fae on the battlefield but since Wizards and Witches lack a way to fly without enchanted items, so in zones where we are not deployed in direct confrontation would be very useful against many of "It" minions."

Yup, we are doing this for the Judeo-Christian faction, while I have my ways to be on the air, it is still out of my element so I may do things to fight on even grounds no pun intended. We are trying to create a zone where the concept of "Flying" is denied. Sure, some wards have similar effects, but since we are taking this to a conceptual level so even beings with the natural ability to do this would be unable of doing so, but doing so it's quite hard.

"As for your other projects, the one involving creating a small Bounded Field around you makes me a little worry as it could have several repercussions in your body."

"Yup, or that would be the case if I had a normal Wizard's body, but as you know my body is stronger than even most of the Fae here so even if it would stain my body, it is not at the level that would do irreparable damage." Besides, the last time I checked my status…

"Speaking of wizards, there is something I've been curious about." Oberon interrupted my inner monologue. "Why do you still go to classes with them?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yozora-kun even if we only have met each other for a little time, I noticed that you are the kind of person that is constantly working, so going to a place where you know most of the things that they can teach you seems a little irrelevant."

It's understandable for his confusion, after all, if it wasn't for the mission I would have dropped Hogwarts since the teaching material is quite irrelevant to me now, I don't think that I know all the knowledge of this world, but at the very least when it comes to the studying material that Hogwarts as I already have a copy of it and we memorized a fair share of it, but…

"It's for my mental health," I stated. "Not so long ago I wasn't even aware that the supernatural existed, of course, I decided to dwell on it but regardless of that, there is a part of me that still likes the mundane affairs… well as much as a Magical school can be hahaha. So for me, those hours are like a break in a sense, you know." Besides is not like the original drops all the work to us, since there are things like enhancing and creating Magic Circuits as even if we share a link the level of our [Body Double] is still too low to directly interact with the soul, also when it comes to physical training only him can do it.

"I see, well it is understandable after all everyone needs a rest from time to time." He says with an understanding smile. "Speaking of time, would you mind if we set a Time-Dilatation Bounded Field on Avalon when we finish it? It would be helpful for the incoming battle."

"Of course, we can, I'll be insulted if you didn't ask." I mean we are allies and he is helping in the development of the Bounded Field, so it's fair if he can have the benefits of it, but for the nature of the Primordial Runes, an essential part of it, for the moment I am the only who would be able to set it up.

"Thank you Yozora-kun. Not only you are helping us by sparring with my soldiers but also Lee-san takes part of his time to come and teach a thing or two and everyone is eager to learn from him, especially Lean-kun."

Oh yeah, Gramps first big fan of this world. "Hahaha don't mind besides we like to spar with different people, and it gives us some experience against people that can fly." Besides the fact that is fun to look at other people being berated by Gramps training.

"And finally, we should talk about your other project," Oberon said more seriously this time. "If I have to be honest, I don't know if you are just crazy or a genius for trying to pull that out."

"Hahaha, you make me blush," I said awkwardly. "But is not that crazy, since that is a watered version of my final objective, I am already capable of doing the first phase."

Oberon's eyes widened at the surprise at my statement"*sighs* you are going to make me have a premature death if you give me surprises like that like it was as common as buying cabbages."

"Hahaha, well it is something that I've been developing for a couple of years." Besides the fact that I can't take the whole credit for it as I am pulling an Edison.

.....

Yozora P.O.V (Original)

Finally, was the moment of sparring with Ma-Professor Kim. Honestly, I was quite excited for this sure there have been some skilled martial arts in this world outside of Gramps. But most of the time since I am in mission mode everything ends rather quickly. But since I am in "training" mode now there is no problem.

I used [Clairvoyance (Beast)] on Professor Kim to see what intention he have by sparing with me and it was more boring than I thought. He just wants to use this spar to asses how good I am at hand-to-hand combat since he had heard some rumors about me, but most of them being me using physical strength, so he won't take this seriously. Understandable since he is a former military personal from both the muggle and the magic community of Korea so going all out against a student would be unreasonable and dangerous.

Well, if he wants to test me I might as well comply with what he wants but, maybe I can have a little bit of fun doing so, of course, I sealed my physical strength to equal his, or else it would not be a challenge.

"Are both of you ready?" Nakiri asked us since we were in a fighting stance.

"Yes," Both of us said at the same time

"Then begin!" Nakiri exclaimed as she swung her hand down.

Not wasting any further time Professor Kim low kicked at my left knee which I predicted and just sidestepped, but my evading his kick didn't seem to surprise him as he quickly send a punch directed at my head.

I depended on crossing my arms and protecting my head, but the strength behind his punch made me go back a little, of course, Professor Kim didn't waste this chance and side-kicked my right side which I protected lowering my right arm making his kick connect with my forearm.

'Jezz it seems that I misunderstood what "light" means to him, that kick would hurt like a bitch for a normal person, most likely he heard about me defeating a troll, though he still controlling his strength.'

CQC is a realistic self-defense system that combines various martial arts, military, and police tactics. In a nutshell, is beating the shit out of your opponent as fast and efficiently as possible, something I am certainly familiar with.

Professor Kim's barrage continued as he grow punches and kicks at several parts of my body but for the most part to my joints, but there were others who even if I purposely left an opening he avoided like my neck, crotch, and eyes, since it was just a spar.

With a kick directed at my chest, Professor Kim made some distance between us but I noticed a small frown on his face as he took off his glasses to wipe them. "Mr. Hoshimura, I would be grateful if you stopped playing around."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Professor Kim."

"Maybe you could fool the least experienced people around here, but since the beginning of the spar, you haven't even once tried to counter or taken the initiative, no you just moved around and defended. It's clear that you are well versed in hand-to-hand combat and experienced on top of that…"

"Hahaha is not that Professor," I said half lying. "I was just interested in comparing your style with some other I know but it seems that I ended up offending you so…" I said I I took off my jumper.

*Snap* *Snap* *Snap*

What was that? Did someone take a photo? Meh, it must be Death.

I took the same stance as Professor Kim, one remaining a practitioner of Jet-Kun-Do. "Shall we start once again?"

After saying those words I dashed in a blur of speed low-kicking him on the knee which made him stumble a little but in no time regained his stance. But I decided to not give him time to rest so I tried to punch him on the head but to my surprise, he directly headbutted the punch making the force behind it null.

Huh, if I was a normal person my hand would be broken, or if he was normal his skull would crack if I didn't properly control my strength. But not minding this I continued performing the same techniques that he did previously though I had to make some minor adjustments because of our height difference.

Some surprise could be seen in Professor Kim's eyes, although he had defended pretty well at my advances it was clear that his surprise comes from the fact that I was copying him. Acquiring Daniel Park's card was a big boom to my repertoire of abilities, so maybe I should surprise Professor Kim with one of the techniques that Daniel learned from his counterpart.

Setting my right foot forward, knees bent, and my right arm low with a slight bent on my elbow. With my hand almost touching his crossing arms. Using the strength coming from the bottom of my legs driving to my hips leading to my shoulder. Extending my elbow and driving my arm forward, and just a second before making contact with Professor Kim I snapped my wrist into a fist. And once it made contact with his arms I pulled my wrist back to maximize the impact.

'One-inch punch' And soon as I thought of the name of the technique Professor Kim got tracked a few meters back at the strength of my punch.

Pretty neat, obviously not as strong as Gramps [No Second Strike] but useful at the end of the day, I wonder how devastating it would be at full strength, plus [Reinforcement] [Ko] and my rune enchants plus some pretty neat tricks that I learned from Oberon.

I look at Professor Kim's direction who was moving his arms a little bit to cease the numbness. "I think that we warmed up enough already," I said with a grin on my face. "Shall we take things to the next level?"

Professor Kim looked at me directly in the eyes and for the first time, he made a small smile. "No"

"Huh?" I brilliantly expressed.

"It would be meaningless to continue the spar as it would only have a negative influence on the other students as they would only develop an unhealthy inferiority complex if you…continue to show off." Professor Kim said with a little hint of humor at the end.

'*tcht* spoilsports but looking at the faces of the other students I could somewhat understand what he was saying… Kise-kun please close your mouth, a pixie could enter if you continue like that.'

"Understood Professor," I am not going to lie, I feel a little bit down since it was pretty hard to find a sparring partner as good as him.

Professor Kim nodded at me and started to walk in my direction and when he was close enough he started to speak once again. "But as a Professor is my duty to help my students, so if you ever need a sparring partner my doors are always open for you."

Once again, a smile crept out of my face. "Thank you."

…

October 28th of 1992. Hogwarts Castle. Room of requirements. 19:32

"Everything hurts," Blaise complained while panting on the floor.

"Come on man it was not that bad," I said looking at Blaise.

"Not that bad? You were not the one who had to be slammed on the floor by Hermione or spar with a fired-up Harry after your spar with Professor Kim."

"Sorry," Said an embarrassed Hermione."I usually just spar with Yozora so it was hard to measure against different people."

Yup, Hermione was here, since the start of the year she has been coming with my help to our training twice a week since it would be more practical for her to come here instead of me going to France. Although she liked the fact that we were "alone" at that time, she also missed our friends.

"Don't apologize, Hermione," Daphne said placing one hand on Hermione's shoulder and staring at Blaise. "Is not your fault that he is weak."

'Emotional Damage'

"Ouch, Blaise will need some ointment for that burn," Tracey said with a smile.

"Fatality," Neville mumbles. "Daphne Wins."

"What was that?" Blaise asked rather mildly annoyed.

"Sorry, is something from a Muggle game that Yozora showed me in the summer vacation and it got stuck in my head."

Yeah, one of the advantages of being "sent to the past" is that you get to see the release of some legends, Mortal Combat being one of them. But curiously enough in this world, it was released a little bit earlier than I remember.

"Sorry dude," Said Harry scratching the back of his head. "The spar between Yozora and Professor Kim was so exciting that I got forgot to hold back. And even if punching Malfoy to the ground was fun, he was not a challenge."

Yeah, the dumbass thought that it was a good idea to try to challenge Harry to a spar since he, and I quote "Wouldn't have a chance this time, since the last time he just got him by surprise." And to no one surprise, Harry beat him pretty easily though he took his time. It seems that even if I took most of Malfoy's hate, both of them still hate each other like Shirou and EMIYA… okay I am exaggerating with this but you get the idea.

"Of course, you would." Death/Yor said holding me from behind. "My Yo-kun is the best." This of course earned the jealousy of the rest of the girls, recently they tried to be a little bit more… proactive.

'Soft' I thought to myself but looking at Death's/Yor's smug face I think that she noticed.

"*Sighs* Whatever just be a little bit more careful." Blaise tiredly said not even making fun of me.

By no means he is bad at hand-to-hand combat I would say that he is pretty above average when it comes to natural talent, but Hermione is just brutal and efficient when it comes to neutralizing people…what have I created… And Harry is the one who likes to fight the most so he spends quite a bit of his time training.

"I will go to take a shower and to bed after that, see you tomorrow," Blaise said leaving the room.

"Me too, it's almost 9:00 in France so I should leave before the curfew," Hermione said stretching a little bit.

I nodded at Hermione and opened a portal to her room in Beauxbatons. "Take care, see you next week…also don't sleep too late reading the new books you got."

Hermione blushed a little bit at my comment, "I know that…see you next week."

"Bye-bye, Hermione," Tracey said waving her hand.

"Take care," Daphne said with a nod.

After Hermione left I closed the portal and briefly, I could see that Harry and Tracey shared a look with the latter nodding.

"Daphne we should also go, today is the turn of the second-year students to use the bathhouse," Tracey said with a cheerful face.

"But I-" Daphne tried to say but ended up being dragged by her friend.

"Bye everyone," Tracey said her usual cheerful expression.

Once both of them left the room Harry looked at me and Yor. "Excuse me Yor, I want to talk in private with Yozora, could you leave us alone? It is not like I don't trust you but-" Harry tried to explain but he was interrupted by Yor.

"Fufufu~ don't worry Harry, I understand," Yor said nonchalantly. "Have a good night guys."

But before leaving the room she gave me a look that it seems that she will use me as a body pillow once again…not that I minded.

"So Harry what's up? Are you finally going to tell me why have you been acting weird around me lately? I noticed the glance that you gave Tracey" He has been acting pretty weird since the start of the school year, sure I could have used [Clairvoyance (Beast)] to see what was happening, but I decided some time ago to not use it with people close to me as it is not healthy to do so.

But it seems that my statement made him panic a little bit "Don't think badly of that," Harry said in a hurry. "I just asked her to take Daphne after Hermione left since I know they like to spend some time alone with you, I knew that if I asked Tracey and Yor would not have a problem but Daphne sometimes can be a little bit… stubborn."

"Hahaha don't worry Harry, it didn't though badly," I said with mild amusement of his worries. " And she can be like that, I think that me being too close with Yor surprised her."

"I'm glad that you didn't misunderstand this or else maybe I would be slapped to death." Harry breathed in relief…I think that he really believed that I would slap him. "But being serious there is a favor that I need to ask you."

"If you wanted to be alone to ask me this I doubt that is a simple favor." I mean he rarely acts shy so this must be personal.

Harry nodded at my statement. "I need you to train me…to kill someone."

My eyes widened from the surprise at Harry's words. "Oi Harry I know we often joke about how a beat to death people but you are asking is not a joke. But to begin with, who do you hate so bad that you want to kill him?" I mean I don't have to be a genius to guess who is he talking about, but there can be always surprises.

"Voldemort." He said with a lot of hatred in his voice. "During my time with Sirius, we talked a lot about many things, especially about my parents. What did they like, how he and the rest of the marauders pranked all the people in the castle when they were students, many good things but things got dark when we talked about their last living years since it was when Voldemort was on the rise."

"At first he didn't want to talk about that and told me to just focus on the good things, but after nagging him a lot he complied. And told me how they were constantly pursued by his followers until that damn rat betrayed them. Hagrid once told me that he didn't believe that Voldemort was not dead, just weak and regaining his strength, Sirius believes the same, or else Dumb-Ass-Door wouldn't send me with the Durdsley." Harry thighed his fist in anger in the last part.

"And lately there has been some activity from his followers outside the country so this only makes Hagrid and Sirius's words more believable. So I want to kill him, I want to make him suffer for what he has done, for killing my parents."

Honestly, I am a little bit concerned for Harry, such hatred for a young man is not a good thing but I cannot say that his hate is unfounded. A good person would tell him that revenge is a bad thing, that even if he kills him that would not make his parents bring his parents back.

But I am not a good person, if I was in the same position as Harry I would act the same as him. Even if I act like a fool for the most part, I am a vindictive person. Besides in this world at least he has to do this since it was related to Fate, "Either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives." Even if that is the case I wanted to wait a little bit until he was older to do help him with this and since he is asking I will help him but…

"I understand Harry, I will not give you the bullshit that revenge is not the solution and I will help you with this. But you haven't answered my question, why are you asking me? There must be a better person to help you with this."

But Harry shook his head in denial. "No there is no one better than you for this, after all…"

"You are Luxu, aren't you?"

…

Hello niece and nephews. I hope that everyone enjoyed the chapter.

Sorry for the big delay in the chapter, but like they say: If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans." Honestly, at this point, I should've known better hahaha. This week's extra hours were killing me. I just had 3 hours of sleep on the weekday between work and things that I had to do, I just had little time to finish the chapter and with the problem with the app well, it sucks. But at least this chapter's word count is almost 11,000 hahaha.

So the next chapter will be the last one from the Potterverse for a while. Jezz can you guys believe that there have been almost 8 months since I started to publish this fanfic, honestly, this has been helping me a lot with my problems as this is my way to relax though I must admit that there are times that I feel bricked when I write the chapters hahaha.

So even in this chapter, almost everything happened in one day. So obviously there will be time-skipping in the next chapter….yeah, I am not a big fan of time skips but meh, sacrifices need to be made. In this chapter, I wanted to use the clones to show a little how Yozora a little bit of how he uses them and also to show a few of his abilities besides using Armirger, Displacement Magecraft, or Runes, since it would be pretty stupid of me to give him those abilities to just leave them to gather dust.

Speaking of that, what do you think about Yozora's Nen Ability(ies)? I thought about them pretty much and I think that is somewhat balanced. I mean if I wanted to create a Nen Stealing ability it would be useless since there are not many Nen Users outside the Hunter x Hunter worlds, besides if he wanted to create that, he could always pull a Touko Aozaki one.

Now I want to talk a little bit about DXD, as you know Grayfia will be a part of the harem it was never a secret to begin with hahaha and I already have a plan of how to achieve that since in many DXD fanfics most of the time they use the route of NTR Sirchezns…fuck no. The one that the marriage between them is just a cover or that she never married. But I think that I have a way to do this a little bit differently, I am just going to say that changing something little about a certain character can change many things in the plot.

Also, I have a question, why do people hate Rias so much? I mean she is not my favorite and she is somewhat annoying at times, but she is not bad though. But I cannot believe the amount of hate that she receives, not that I am planning to add her in the future, or at least is not in my plans for now, I am just curious about the reason. And with Issei… it's complicated, usually, I don't like over-perverted characters for personal reasons, but he is not a bad person leaving aside his perverted tendencies, he is sure annoying but not to the point where I would hate him with passion. In another hand his two friends Motohama and Matsuda….god I can't allow them to be near Yozora or else he will commit murder in less than a second.

I've been reading one again the DXD novels in my free time on the bus or in my break since it's been a while since I have read them like 7 years or so. And OMG I can't believe that I felt so disgusted with a character in less than a second. One of them literally said out loud to the girls in his class that he would r*pe them on his mind. Bro/Sis… I mean it wouldn't be the first time that the MC kills, it would be just another one into the dead count. Jezz honestly it's going to be tough if the MC decides to go to Kuoh Gakuen as a student, though I hardly doubt it.

So I decided to give the MC, Divine Dividing.....

Kidding hahaha he already has Dragon companions and cooler ones if I have to say, but like he said in the secret report he is not interested in becoming a dragon sure it has its advantages but if that were the case why would he just settle with a Heavenly Dragon when he could….ops spoilers hahaha.

Since the next chapter is the last one before going to the DXD world, I will release a "Secret Report" chapter like the previous one along with his "Status".

So, with anything else to say, thank you for reading this chapter.

If you like this ff so far, please make a review on the main page, this will help me a lot so more people get interested in reading it.

Also, leave a comment with your thoughts on this chapter and maybe drop a stone or two hahaha.

See you again in the next chapter!
