Isamu arrived to an empty house. He immediately started cooking dinner for the old man. He went to take the ingredients and immediately went to work. His movements were fluid and mesmerizing and within 40 minutes he had finished cooking. 

He wrapped the food meant for Juzo so that it doesn't get cold and left a note .

' I'll be in my room . Do not disturb ' 

It said. 

He took his own share of food and went upstairs with it. He wanted to eat it after having practiced. He placed the food at the study table then positioned himself in a lotus position on the ground. His breathing became rhythmical and steady as his consciousness searched for the perfect foundation technique.

Foundation played a vital role in any form of power if you were not the protagonist. Issei was really lucky. His future endeavors ought to have brought him in prison or gotten him killed but he always survived.

' Should I kill that asshole ?' 

Isamu was enraged but he eventually quenched his anger. Revenge was a fool's errand , nothing good ever came from it. Desire+Self-control on the other hand was what was truly important. 

Isamu finally found the perfect technique to build his foundation on. An ancient technique that only a select few in the Blossoms Technique knew. It was incredibly slow at it's foundation but it's roots were without a doubt the best. 

It would take him 200 years to return back to his original strength with this technique but he only wanted to build his foundation with it then discard it. 

' So a week full of training this painful and absurd technique then I can change to another four times as painful and a more absurd technique. ' He planned himself.

His consciousness slowly drifted away with the only focus being his breathing and the world. Ki slowly entered him through his pores making him slightly groan in pain. Once inside they would rush in through his meridians , always moving .

This brought even more pain to him but it's benefits were extremely high . Usually to start on a foundation one had to focus on one meridian but this easily bypassed it as it focused in all of the meridians and also further enhanced the spiritual veins.

Isamu beared with the pain for a while longer until 3 hours passed and his body could take no more. Isamu felt a pungent smell originating from him. He let his body fall down to the cold hard floor as he stretched his limbs. He than woke up from that position and headed to laundry area downstairs. He passed through the old man's room and heard some heavy snoring .

' Glad to hear the old man is still ok ' Isamu thought with a smile before going to the desired location. Once there he stripped his school clothes remaining only with his underwear. He placed the clothes in the machine while grabbing his towel to the left top of the machine and pressing it on. 

The shower was relaxing to his body and nerves and he had never felt that relaxed since being reincarnated here. After the shower he prepared his clothes for tomorrow and went to sleep. 

The next day he woke up unusually early .He went to prepare breakfast then did as he did previously , leaving Juzo's breakfast and lunch at the table.

' Today , he hasn't woken up early but he is old after all. Let him enjoy a little bit of rest ' Isamu thought.

He saw it better to let the old man sleep especially since he has been working hard more for the past two months than usual.

Today the clouds hang low in the sky promising a gloomy day. Isamu might not be superstitious but something definitely fell wrong. An ominous aura seeing to have descended on him and it was as if luck had rejected him this particular day.

" Wow , that is really a lot to take in " Issei said. 

He had recently learned that Devils existed , Rias was one of them and everyone in the occult research club was a devil. The reason why he was also killed by his girlfriend was because he had longinus boosted gear that could double his power. 

Issei felt overwhelmed however that did not take long. He imagined the possibilities , the girls , the girls and the girls he would gate. His eyes shone with determination,

" So I get power right ? And I can get all the girls . I can become the great harem king " One could feel the determination in his voice .

Rias just gave out a smile , Akeno was distracted , Kiba was surprised and Koneko could only mumble ' pervert ' under her breathe.

Issei didn't mind what they thought , he would become the harem king no matter what but little did he know there was an anomaly that would crush his dream , the anomaly known as Isamu.

Issei and the rest eventually got out remaining with Akeno and Rias.

" So what have you found on Isamu ?" Rias asked her gaze becoming serious.

Akeno who was absentminded snapped back to reality .

" Ah yes Isamu . He isn't a threat in fact I think he might be a good addition to our group. " Akeno said.

Rias raised an eyebrow . She knew Akeno hated fallen angels so her defending Isamu was a surprise.

" May I know why ?" Rias asked.

" He seems unaware of his heritage , he would be a very good addition to our forces considering the nearing of your marriage. " Akeno said , her voice was ever serious.

Rias adopted a thinking pose as she thought of what Akeno suggested and she understood the logic behind it . However she noticed that Akeno was hiding something from her.

" Is that the only reason ?" Rias asked. 

Akeno's usual face contorted to a slight frown. She wanted to tell her master and best friend but .... No , Rias deserved to know the truth .

" Well it's also because ..... "
