Chapter 20: Training (2)

"Wow..."

Issei muttered as he looked outside the glass wall of the elevator in amazement, observing the incredibly beautiful scenery of the beach with an excited expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Issei. If all of you manage to reach my desired strength then, I'll let all of you play around the beach as much as you want to"

Lucias said causing his motivation to rise, looking forward to see the girls in their swimsuit with a perverted grin on his face.

"Now then, let me give you a brief tour around this building. This 25 story building is the training ground of this island, complete with all of the equipments that you'll need in training be it from magic, swordsmanship, archery, etc."

Lucias introduced as all 6 of them went out of the elevator, arriving at the 21th floor where the gravity room is located.

"This is the room where you'll be training for a full 5 days after that we will move to the floors below to train your skills and apply to real world situations using the immersive simulation machine on the 3rd floor"

Lucias explained before guiding them towards the glass wall of the building and pointing at the large hot spring below them.

"That hot spring is a special type of hot spring imbedded with runes that recovers all type of fatigue and injuries once you take a dip in the water. So after training at 10 pm, all of you can relax at that hot spring to recover your fatigue during training"

Lucias explained as both Koneko, Rias, and Akeno excitedly looked at the hot spring with anticipation written in their eyes.

"The time now is 10 am so let's immediately start, we only have 9 days left until the match with Riser"

Lucias said while pointing at the watch in his wrist causing the devils to nod their head before following him inside the gravity room.

"The room where in now is called the gravity room, it basically increases the gravity inside the room by... well how much I desire it to be increased. The floor itself is created using a powerful ore called Orichalum imbedded with elven runes to increase it's durability and resistance against pressure and magic so if I increase this rooms gravity by 100x, the floor will not be affected and break so you 5 can rampage here however you want"

Lucias explained as the 5 of them stood in front of him in an upright position, listening to his words with extreme interest and curiosity.

"... How did you create this kind of room?"

Rias asked with amazement from hearing his explanation about the gravity room.

"You'll find out in the future..."

Lucias said with a mysterious smile on his face before switching his expression into a serious one while looking at their direction.

"... So, how are you planning on training us?"

Rias asked as she stood in front of him along with her entire peerage as all of them wore the tight black suit that Lucias gave to them for their training.

"Honestly, it's impossible to teach you everything in 10 days, so I have no choice but to just teach you some basic techniques and some basic physical training for this 10 days... well that is except for Rias and Issei since I have a separate training routine for them"

"I have to train too?"

She asked with a confused expression on her face while staring directly as his eyes.

"Isn't that obvious? A king should lead his soldier in battle, even though you're the one that will strategize about your pieces's movement, that doesn't mean that you have to be useless in combat"

"But-"

"And honestly, even if you have inherited the Gremory Clan's [Power of Destruction]..."

Lucias cut her off as he stared at her status with a large frown on his face.

"... I'm guessing your haven't trained it at all, in fact Riser can easily crush you with your current strength"

"Don't underestimate me, Lucias Frey!!"

Rias shouted in an angry voice from being looked down upon by a human like him.

"Sometimes you just have to accept the truth, Gremory"

Lucias said as he snapped his finger creating 3 golden magic circle behind him.

"All of you will be under the supervision of 3 of my... teammates while you train so that I can make sure that not one of you will slack off during training"

Lucias smiled as three figures appeared behind him causing Issei to scream in excitement from seeing three beautiful girls appear behind Lucias.

"Why didn't you tell me that you know such hot chicks Lucias!?"

Issei shouted with a perverted grin on his face as he stared at Lilia, Artoria, and Asia standing behind Lucias with a large frown on their faces as they gazed at his perverted smile.

"I advise you to wipe that smile off of your face Issei, before I do it myself"

Lucias warned with an ominous smile on his face as he gazed at Issei with extreme killing intent, causing him to tremble in fear as he froze on his spot.

"The new transfer student?"

Rias muttered in shock from seeing a familiar faces behind Lucias, one is the transfer student who was in the same class as him.

"I'm glad you already know them, this makes my job easier"

Lucias clapped his hand to attract all of the attentions of the devils to him as he introduced the three of them one by one.

"This is Lilia, she specialises in all types of magic, and has complete proficiency in control and proper utilisation of different spells, but be careful because her temper is much worst than mine"

Lucias said as Lilia hugged his waist with a neutral expression on her face as she gazed at the devils in front of them.

"Weak..."

She muttered before burying her face to his clothes, causing all of them to glare at her direction with a frown on their faces.

Lucias then walked next to Artoria wearing a simple one piece dress on her body that Lucias gave her as a gift during her birthday 2 years ago.

"This is Artoria Pendragon, one of my... Knights, unlike Lilia, she specialises more on close range combat and has reach the peak in terms of sword mastery"

"Pendragon? She is a descendant of the Pendragon family?"

Rias asked out of curiosity as he gazed at Artoria's graceful and majestic aura around her body, looking at all of them with a large frown on her face.

"Master..."

"I know that you hate some of them, but please endure it, Artoria"

Lucias whispered close to her ears, causing her to reculantly nod her head in agreement while holding a spare sword given to her by Lucias.

"Yes she is the descendant of King Arthur-"

Lucias tried to introduce but was hit on the stomach by Artoria from his weird introduction.

"I'm a descendant of myself?"

Artoria whispered with a frow on his face.

"They won't believe that your King Arthur, since according to history King Arthur was a male... But I can turn you into a male if you want to"

"... No, I like this body now... especially when-"

Artoria glanced at him before averting her face with a bright red face causing Lucias to grin as his effort of trying to make her accept herself was not all in vain.

"Do you want me to confirm if you're a woman by tonight, Artoria?"

Lucias tried to tease her causing her to deliver a powerful punch at his stomach with mercy with an extremely bright red face.

"Y-You pervert!!"

"I was just teasing you"

"Can you stop flirting in front of us?"

Rias suddenly intervened with an irritated expression on her face as stared at their intimate interactions.

"Shit..."

Issei cursed as he glared at Lucias with envy visible in his eyes, while Koneko glared at him for a different reason.

"*Cough*... Let's move on"

Lucias ignored Issei's glare as he walked towards Asia who was sweetly smiling at his direction.

"As you already know, this is Asia Argento, the transfer student in the same class as me. She specialises in support magic, hand to hand combat, and she is the holder of the sacred gear Twilight Healing"

He introduced as he patted her head before facing the the devils with a serious expression on his face.

"You better not target her for your peerage, Gremory"

Lucias warned with a large frown on his face as he gazed at the expression on her face.

"Now then... where should I start"

-in Grigori-

"AZAZEL! Look at what your so called ally has done! He killed many of our numbers, why are you tolerating that tyrant! He is not our ally"

A man with long black hair and red eyes shouted in anger towards Azazel as all of the cadre's were gathered inside the meeting room.

"Azazel is right, we can't afford to make them our enemy when we got this opportunity to place them on our side, Kokabiel"

A handsome man in his twenties, with silver-white hair and purple eyes wearing a purple beret hat, purple trench coat over a black vest, white pants and black boots said in a calm voice as he gazed at Kokabiel's direction.

"What are you so afraid of!? All of the rumors about his faction could've been all a lie to make up a strong font for them so that no one dares to attack their faction!"

Kokabiel retorted with a large frown on his face while Azazel tapped his finger on the table with an extremely displeased expression on his face.

"Quite"

He ordered in a deep voice causing the cadres inside the faction meeting room to quiet down and look at his direction.

"Shemhazai, what's the progress of your investigation about this incident?"

He asked the silver haired fallen angel with a serious expression on his face, signifying how serious their current situation is.

"We currently have no leads since they killed all of the fallen angels involved in this incident but... I do have my suspicions"

Shemhazai said while gazing at Kokabiel who was silently sitting in his chair with a large frown on his face.

"Are you saying that I'm involved in this incident, Shemhazai?"

Kokabiel who noticed his gaze asked in an angry voice as he slammed the table in anger, standing up from his seat while glaring at his direction.

"... You are the only one who is opposed to the alliance with the Forsaken Faction, and you're the perfect suspect since this person has dispatched a lot of fallen angel of our faction which only a cadre can do"

Shemhazai calmly retorted while glaring at Kokabiel with his arms crossed on his chest.

"That's because I just don't understand why are you so enthusiastic about the alliance with them! They killed many of our kind are we just going to stand back and watch as they massacre our people!?"

He retorted with a large frown on his face as he gazed at all of the cadres inside the meeting room.

"Shut up"

Azazel ordered as he released his killing intent at Kokabiel who was making a fuss at his table.

"I want any of you to find who is responsible for this attack, or else this might be the day that the fallen angels face extinction in their hands"

"That's wh-"

Kokabiel tried to say something but was cut off by his glare causing him to mutely sit down on his seat while gritting his teeth.

"It's a blessing to us that they only killed a few us considering how we attacked one of the founders of their faction, also named as the Dragon Empress by the dragons"

Azazel slammed his hand on the table, crushing it with his hand from the incredible force contained as he glared at Kokabiel's direction.

"I want someone to fix this mess before I send anyone of you to them as a sacrifice to sooth their anger. The lives of the fallen angels in our faction is in stake, we're already considered as lucky because Lucias-sama restored and revived the innocent fallen angels that he killed"

He said as he stood up from his seat with a large frown on his face.

"Kokabiel, I hereby place you under house arrest and supervision for being one of the major suspects in this case"

"WHAT!?"

Kokabiel shouted in shock causing him to stand from his chair as he stared at Azazel with wide eyes.

"I said your under house arrest, is that hard to understand?... Kokabiel, if I find out that you're involved in this horrible mess..."

Azazel said in a very deep voice, releasing all of his killing intent and hostility toward Kokabiel who trembled in fear from his horrible aura.

"... I'll kill you myself"
