After Karma was done with reincarnation he was led out of the school building down the forested path to an old school building which also hosted the main base of the Gremory peerage also known as 'ORC'.
As they entered the clubroom they saw Issei crying since he couldn't awaken his sacred gear. When he saw them entering he was extremely surprised at Karma's arrival. " Hey man how you doing? I see that you became a devil, congratulations. So what piece did you take? " Karma said cheerfully to Issei. Issei looked at him with shock and then answered " uhh pawn ". Karma looked at him for a moment then nodded " nice don't worry I'll help you awaken your sacred gear. It should be Twice Critical if I'm not wrong " Karma said while patting his shoulder.
Rias decided to interject from the sides at this moment, " I don't think it's twice critical " Karma looked towards her " and he took all 8 pawn pieces for me to reincarnate him so it should be something stronger " Karma looked shocked after hearing that then he turned towards Issei and reassesed him once more " I can't wait to find out what it is now ".
Issei seemed to have come back to his senses since he nearly shouted while pointing his finger at him and said " WAIT you know about them being uhh devils....you were there yesterday so that means you saved me? but then why did you deny it this morning? are you a devil too? " Issei kept shooting questions at him. Karma was seriously holding himself back from cutting off the finger which was pointed at him but he held himself back and answered him patiently with a forceed smile on his face " uhh yeah I know about all of them being devils and yeah I saved you yesterday or more like healed you and I didn't admit it today in the morning was because you wouldn't have believed me even if I told you the truth...plus it would have been a hassle and I already guessed that Rias would eventually tell you ".
" Speaking of which, did you know that he had a powerful sacred gear on him before you reincarnated him? " asked Karma while looking at Rias. She simply answered " no, infact I only realized it after he took all of my pawn pieces. I was saving them to reincarnate you since I didn't think I would have been able to reincarnate you with any of my other pieces on me. Infact I was quite nervous while I was trying to reincarnate you with my bishop piece but luckily you chose to be a rook and I happen to have a mutated piece for it so it was ever a suprise to me. But I'm extremely happy to have both of you with me " she finished with a dazzling smile at the end ' ugh what sorcery is this? ' thought Karma in his heart while Issei seemed to have petrified by her charm.
After hearing Rias' answer, he realised one thing, that his deductions aren't always right. He had previously thought that Rias had purposely let Issei get killed before reincarnating him to gain his absolute loyalty but he seemed to be wrong because if she knew that he was this strong from the then she wouldn't have let him get killed because it would have been extremely risky. What if he got mutilated? or recovered in parts? she wouldn't have taken that chance whereas it was much easier to just tell him about his sacred gear and fallen angel and then just offer him protection in her peerage. While it also meant that she really saved him out of the kindness of her heart. ' Heh a kind and not so scheming devil huh.....she seems to have mutated ' thought karma while he gave a kind and real smile towards Rias which caused her to be dazed this time.
' ugh what sorcery is this ' thought Rias in her heart.
" Anyways Issei can you show us your sacred year? " asked Karma eagerly waiting to know what sort of surprise he will present him. Issei looked dejected at that and downheartedly said " ugh man i can't seem to manifest it no matter what I try. I already tried looking into my heart, calling out to it and even trying different poses and phrases but it just doesn't work. What do I do? " Issei directed the last question at him.
Karma pondered for a while then looked at him and said " think of the moment when you felt the strongest and bring out that feeling and try to manifest your sacred gear " after saying that Karma looked at him expectantly waiting for him to try it but all he got from him was silence. He looked around and saw that all of them were looking at him awkwardly. Issei looked at Karma and said " what the hell is that supposed to mean? " Karma awkwardly scratched his cheeks and realized that he seemed to be explaining the theory behind the smooth movements of a circular bicycle wheel ( it's round and it rolls ) to a high schooler, ( who coincidentally also happens to be an idiot ) it's simple for Karma but it might not be so simple for Issei. So he explained it to him in his language " have you seen dragon ball Z " Karma asked, to which Issei enthusiastically responded " of course it's my favourite show ". " Good so you're Goku, now go and transform into a super saiyan " said Karma with a poker face.
Issei excitedly placed both his arms parallel to his hips placed his feet wide apart and shouted at the top of his lungs.
All of them closed their ears and waited. After shouting for 2 minutes straight, A green gem appeared on the left hand ( it's not right? right? i hope it's not right and I'm right ) a green aura covered his whole body ' he fucking turned into a legendary super saiyan. I knew 8 pawns wouldn't warrant for just a super saiyan ' thought karma excitedly in his heart. Then suddenly all the light show disappered and a red gauntlet with dragon like claws jagged edges and a green gem appeared on his arm covering his entire forearms. ( It honestly looks like a certain revived ancient Pokémon to me. Don't remember the name )
Seeing that his sacred gear has manifested, Issei looked at him like he was his God which made Karma quite awkward but in his heart Issei was thinking ' Karma is also a fan of dragon ball Z. Ahh a kindered spirit ' but Karma misunderstood him. Everyone else was also looking at him with a worshipping gaze but it was because he managed to explain the awakening process to this idiot so they simply thought of him as a genius but Karma didn't know that.
After all that when Karma looked at Issei's sacred gear closely, he suddenly exclaimed loudly " HE FUCKING GOT HIMSELF THE BOOSTED GEAR ".
