97 Practice Makes Perfect

It was the next day and the whole Academy was practicing for the Sports Festival. Issei and his classmates changed into their tracksuits and were currently practicing on the school grounds with a mix of boys and girls.

"I challenge you, Xenovia!"

"Bring it on, Irina!"

Irina and Xenovia were running at the grounds. Issei's classmates were cheering them on.

"To be honest, the only people that would rival them a little are the student council members. More specifically, several girls in Sona's group who are in the same grade as us. " Kiba whispered beside Issei. Issei hummed, half listening to the conversation. He was busy trying to observe Xenovia's and Irina's bouncing Oppais.

"They're moving too fast. It's hard to see the bouncing of the Oppais. Like I thought, a proper velocity is needed for them to bounce. " Issei whispered while taking down some notes.

"Yo, Issei." Saji greeted him while carrying measuring tools and such.

"Hey man." Issei greeted him back.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh nothing, I'm just observing bouncing Oppai." Issei answered nonchalantly. Saji groaned.

" That must be nice. Meanwhile I'm here working my ass off because we're 'lacking manpower'. They could've just recruited other people to help them instead of pushing every single job to me. " Saji grumbled while having an irritated expression.

"What activities are you participating in?" Issei asked.

" I'm doing the bread eating race. " Saji answered.

" You're lucky. You get to eat to your heart's content while me and Asia have to run around this shitty race field. " Issei grumbled. Saji snorted.

" Tch! You're the lucky one here, man. You get to race with a beautiful girl while I need to stuff my face until I either vomit or win. " Saji replied. Issei chuckled.

" It does seem that way doesn't it?" Issei said with a small smile on his face.

"Saji, what are you doing? We will be checking the setting of each of the tents, so follow us quickly. " Sona's voice snapped Saji out of his relaxation.

"We, the student council, lack manpower anyway so please work. " Tsubaki added. Their glasses were shining brightly under the bright sun. Saji sighed and went to their sides.

Issei chuckled and approached them. Kiba meanwhile was helping a girl out with her stretches, Issei threw him a sly smirk, prompting Kiba to blush back shyly a little.

Issei stood in front of Sona and Tsubaki.

He smiled down at them. "Hello Sona. Hi Tsubaki." Issei greeted them while leaning down to kiss Sona. Sona smiled and kissed back eagerly. Tsubaki gulped at their show of affection.

Issei looked at her uneasy expression. "What? You want a kiss too?" Issei asked her bluntly. Tsubaki's face turned deep red.

"N-no! It's not that! It's just weird seeing Sona smiling out in the open." Tsubaki explained. Sona looked at her.

" Oh? Are you saying that there is something wrong with my smile?" Sona asked her. Tsubaki got even more flustered at her misunderstanding.

" N-no, Sona! I didn't mean it like that! " Tsubaki replied and coughed awkwardly to regain her composure. Issei laughed a little.

"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. See you guys later." Issei waved at them and went towards Asia who was being teased profusely by Kiryuu.

" And when you sit on his lap, start moving a little to get him hard. Then slowly but surely, increase your intensity and voila, you guys are gonna have hot sex!" Kiryuu grinned pervertedly at Asia's embarrassed face expression. Issei cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Asia. Let's practice." Issei held up a rope for the three legged run. Asia nodded.

"Y-yes!" She replied, still feeling flustered about Kiryuu's constant teasing. Kiryuu giggled pervertedly.

"My my, Issei. Are you perhaps interested in BDSM?" Kiryuu asked him. Issei chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm not, fortunately. Akeno is an expert at it though."

"And how do you know that hmm? Perhaps you've experienced it before?"

"She's an S&M. So maybe she has some secret stash of sex toys somewhere." Issei replied while tying the rope to Asia's and his legs. Asia's right leg and Issei's left leg are now one. He stood up and looked at Kiryuu.

"Now shoo. We need to practice." Issei deadpanned at her. Kiryuu chuckled and walked away, finding her next targets to tease.

Asia blushed and shyly wrapped her arm around his waist. Issei looked at her shy expression and smiled.

He leaned in her and sniffed the smell of her hair. He loved it. Asia blushed even more as he kissed the top of her head after he finished sniffing.

"Let's do it slowly alright?" Issei told her while giving her a small smile. Asia smiled back and nodded.

"Now, one two, step." Issei whispered and they both took a step. They repeated this process a lot of times, until Issei stopped and suggested something to her.

"Why not try walking around together? If we do, we can keep our rhythm the same and it could serve as the next step before running together. " Issei said. Asia hummed and nodded.

" That sounds like a great idea! Let's do it slowly. " Asia agreed with his plans. Issei smiled and they started walking together slowly.

Some time passed, Issei and Asia somehow got the hang of walking together while having a rope tying their right and left leg together. They were like a three legged monster with two heads and four arms.

Asia was surprised with her ability to get it down quickly. Issei praised her a lot, prompting her to give him a lot of shy smiles and cute blushes.

After school, Issei made his way towards the club room along with Asia, Xenovia and Irina. Rias and the rest of her peerage were gathering around while wearing serious faces. Xenovia and Asia went and stood beside Rias.

"Did something happen?" Xenovia asked her. Rias nodded.

" Yes. Our next opponent for the Youth Devil Rating Game has been decided. " Rias revealed. Issei wasn't surprised at all, but what Rias said next definitely did.

"Our next opponent is..... Diodora Astaroth.

.

.

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. " Issei counted. Asia and Issei were currently practicing for the three legged race, as well with Xenovia helping them out.

Lately, they have been practicing it every morning behind the gymnasium. Compared to the time they began practicing, they've gotten much better at it. They've actually started running slowly.

Asia was keeping up. Issei wasn't surprised. Ever since the Rating Game with Riser. Asia has been training daily. After all, by working hard little by little, she can get one step ahead of her enemies.

"You guys are practically pros at it. Now, let's have you guys run as if it's the actual race." Xenovia encouraged them while fixing our rope. Issei looked at Asia who seemed a bit gloomy.

'Well, she's gonna fight her pedophile and his team soon. She doesn't even smile as much anymore. I need to ask her about it. ' Issei thought and ruffled Asia's hair.

"Asia, tell me what's concerning you. Maybe I can help...
