Issei

Since that day, Akeno and Rias stopped avoiding me. I even managed to convince Akeno to join our training. I had an idea that I wanted to try since she was good at lightning magic. But first I wanted to know at what level is her actual power.

The magic she showed was a simple lightning strike. It was powerful, but to me it seemed a little lacking. I can't comprehend how a devil living in modern society wasn't trying applying some science into their magic. They can just imagine everything as long as they have enough demonic power.

"You know, you devils have a very enviable power. Demonic power. Just by imagination you could create almost any kind of magical application that would take years for a normal human to make." I said." So really I wonder why most of the devils I saw keep using only simple elemental manipulation magic. Maybe there is some limitation to what you can imagine?" I asked her, since I really did not know how it worked in real life.

"Only demonic power." She said.

"Do you know what is the magnetic force?" I asked.

"Obviously. " She said. " What about it?"

" Here." I said as I tossed her a coin. " Try repelling this coin."

She seemed a little unsure but did it anyway.

"Point at the sky please. We don't want someone to die, right? And don't touch the coin, throw it in the air and apply the magnetic force then." I said.

So she tried. I could feel her aura swelling. It seemed like she was putting a lot of demonic power in the technique. In the next moment Just when the coin was in front of her palm, it disappeared. Only when it parted away the sky I was able to see it.

"I was able to do it, but it took a little too much demonic power from me. This is really incredible though. I never thought of applying science to techniques like these." She said.

Since then I kept trying techniques like these with Akeno, training with Kiba and Koneko the navy six style. It really was fun. Rias did not like very much fun. It's a shame, all that talent wasted, but I honestly did not care, as long as she kept giving me magic books. I couldn't use magic but I wanted to have the knowledge in order to apply it to my ki once I managed to recover.

I managed to become friend with Akeno too. She even hugged me when she left for Kyoto with Rias. The only thing that disturbs me is when I ask her to help me in training. She was supposed to use lightning, in small amount, to help me forge my body, but the face she makes when I am suffering in silence is really scary.

In that moment I remembered she was a little sadistic and made a little prayer for her future husband. May you live in peace. She was a master cook, the tea she made was incredible and had magic that repaired clothes though. I guess I am a little jealous. After all the moment I discovered the cloth repair magic I knowtowed to her in respect. I was finally saved. Thank to whatever God was listening.

Just like that the year passed and I was becoming really fond of them. They were the first friends I had managed to make in this world. With Rias was more of a business relationship though.

Just a little after the 2nd year begun I heard someone saying with a very loud voice that had gotten a girlfriend finally. When I saw that it was Issei I was reminded of something. The story was about to begin and he was about to be killed by the fallen angel, Raynare. I decided to follow him after that. If I remember correctly he should die after a date with her, impaled with a Lance of light. Like hell I would allow that in my city.

I kept myself hidden and followed them, until she activated her barrier. Then, after the transformation, I launched myself with monstep and cut her wings with tempest kick. Without allowing her one moment, I punched her with an arm clad with touki right through her heart.

She seemed a little shocked, but after some seconds, her eyes lost light.

Then I turned around to face Issei, still a little shocked.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He did not respond, but just kept backing away from me as if I was some serial killer following him. I guess I did kill someone, but this reaction did hurt a little. It made me think what would my parents say, if they saw me do the same thing.

Since talking with him was becoming impossible and really tiring, I just summoned Rias and left the scene, dumping him to her. It was her turn to appear anyway.

...

The next day. In the occult research club we were gathered because Rias wanted to present us the new addition to the team. Honestly, hearing that made me feel really disappointed. After I saved him, he chose to become a devil anyway. I guess promises of harem, money and near eternal life would tempt anyone. I would have accepted too, if I had not discovered the cultivator path.

There was something that was really disturbing me in this moment, these fucking scumbag kept staring at Akeno, more precisely her chest, like she was some piece of meat in front of some hungry beast.

I don't know why but it made me really angry. So much that I was thinking of giving him a touki infused slap. He showed us his sacred gear too. I guess Rias showed him how to use that.

I really can't understand how can a simple gauntlet like that contain so much power. I was really tempted to try cutting it open, maybe take some pieces to analyze. He was saved by the fact that he become a part of the family.

I kept ignoring him and doing my training. He seemed to dislike me too. I guess he must remember that I gave him the cold shoulders when we were kids.
