Chapter 49

Is this sword good enough?

The Cursed Sword has the ability to grant me the power to manipulate Cursed Energy.

Let's hope it works as I thought it would.

I summoned the sword into my hand, and I felt the other energy source within my body.

"Ooh, this is how Cursed Energy feels," I gathered it up into my hand.

Hmm, blue energy.

This is going to be hard to control. Let's see if I can use it without holding the sword.

I unsummoned my sword and tried to do the same thing, but I can't do it for some reason.

This is going to take a while before I can use it without relying on the sword.

I wonder if I can create another sword that allows me to manipulate other fictional power sources.

Chakra won't really work because I don't have Chakra. Ki from Dragon Ball can work, and Nen also could. What other power source can I create?

Haki, Aura (Manhwa), and Senjutsu, are there any other power sources I can use to get stronger?

Maybe there are more?

Ah, I got it. Reiryoku

I think that is all for now. Let's create that sixth sword.

Yeah, I can make one sword that has all of those, but that will take longer to make, so let's do it separately in my room.

.....

-10 hours have passed-

"*Yawn*"

Is it finished?

[Aura Sword complete]

[Senjutsu Sword complete]

[Reiryoku Sword complete]

Now I have a lot to learn. Today, the mentor who should be teaching me hand-to-hand combat should be arriving here.

Let's clean myself up and walk around the town because Asia should be arriving today.

I snap my fingers, as usual, to clean myself and head out to Kuoh Town to begin my search for Asia near Issei's house.

The first time she arrived here, she helped a kid in a playground.

I search around the town for quite a while, and I also put an observer just in case I miss her for some good reason.

But I cannot find her at all, which is weird. Based on the timeline, she should be here already. This makes it more confusing.

Wait, has she already arrived at the abandoned church? If that is the case, this is gonna be a problem.

"*Sigh*"

This is going to be a lot of work. I head to school, but then someone calls my phone, and it is Rias.

I answer the call and say, "Yo, Buchou."

"This is new. Yes, it is me. About that favor you asked me, Tannin-san will be teaching you," Rias said.

Woah, that is amazing—I got a dragon to teach me.

"Great, I can't wait. See you soon then, Buchou."

Before I can hang up the call, Rias said, "Wait, I have something to ask you."

"Okay, what is it?" I asked.

"Is there any reason you want to do this? I'm curious because this is the first time you've asked for something," Rias said, sounding a bit surprised by the way I greeted her.

"To increase my fighting chance, that's all. I'm pretty much useless in a fight if I can't use Sacred Gear. So, to remove that weakness, I decided to learn hand-to-hand combat," I replied to her.

"Oh, if that is the case. Bye, Yuuto," Rias said.

"Bye, Buchou," I said, and I hang up the call and put my phone back in my pocket.

I stretch my arms and let out an "Ahh."

Damn, my body is sore even with Symbiote Sword's healing ability; the fatigue still can't be removed.

I head back to school because I can just learn how to manipulate the power source in the class and hide my sword using Demonic Power.

....

- 2-A Classroom -

I never thought it would be that hard to control my Ki. Apparently, my Ki is very large, and this may be because of Ophis blessing.

I have already decided that I will master Ki first before any other power source.

My Demonic Ki is very hard to control because of its wildness and the large quantity of it. I don't know if my Ki has been influenced by my genetics and Demonic Power.

It's a question that I need to find out on my own because I'm sure the other power sources that I will be learning have been influenced by my Demonic Power in one way or another.

Also, I'm trying not to show any distress in the classroom. I'm sure that if I try any harder, my body will start to sweat like crazy.

My classmates and the teacher would be worried about me just because of my appearance and grades, which are good in a certain field but not this one.

This situation is calling out discrimination, but now I'm just trying to feel the Ki itself and let my body adapt.

....

"*Tap, tap*, wake up! The school is over," a male voice is talking to me, very intriguing.

I open my eyes and see the only male student who has the least hatred or jealousy toward me.

"Thanks," I said as I unsummoned the sword.

"No worries," he said and left the classroom.

His face reminds me of some anime character, but who cares, it's not that important.

Before I can get up and leave the class, the girls began to surround me, which I don't like; it is very troublesome to handle.

"Can you guys move away? I want to go to my club room," I asked them while using a bit of Demonic Power to hypnotize them so that they listen to what I said.

They open up a way, and I quickly leave the class and head to the clubroom building.

When I arrive at the meeting room in the building, I open the door and am greeted by a handsome man sitting on the couch and a white-haired maid standing next to Rias, who is doing her paperwork.

"Oh, you are here, Kiba," the handsome man walked up to me and said, "I heard that you want to learn hand-to-hand combat."

"That is true," I said to him, and then I greeted Grayfia with, "Good to see you, Grayfia-san."

"It's good to see you too, Kiba-sama," Grayfia greeted me back. "I hope you learned a lot from Tannin-sama."

"I will do my best," I said and looked at Rias. "See you, Buchou."

Now, I look at Tannin and say to him with a smile, "I assume the training starts today, right?"

"Of course, Kiba," Tannin said with a smile.

I'm going to learn a lot from Tannin. This is gonna be fun for me to get stronger and improve my form and skills.
