Chapter 8 - A Parallel Universe

"Ouch! Fuck, that's hurt!" Hyoudou Issei yelled in pain as one of the thugs kicked him in the shin. His whole body is full of bruises and scratches. Where the hell is 'She'!? Isn't she supposed to bring help for him!? It had been a freaking whole ten minutes!

"Look at you, trying to play knight in shining armor." The thug said with spite; he hated the look in Issei's eyes. Freaking creepy fuck!

"Look at me? How about you look at yourself in the mirror..." Issei said with a weak smile; he wasn't scared of an adult who tried to hit on a minor. "If I had a face like you, I would sue my parents for giving birth to an ugly ass..." His word ticked the thug off while the others just silently giggled.

"Tch, you are talking too much for a brat."

"If I got 100 yen every time you said stupid shit, I would have become a Tony Sta- UhukkK!." The thug kicked Issei repeatedly in his abdomen, making the latter vomit blood. He always hates a smart-ass like Issei, fucking kid needs to learn his place.

The other thugs just laughed at the pathetic sight of Issei...

"Oi, what are you guys doing?" Due to his experience with shitty bullies in his past life, Anakin decided to interfere. Issei may have been a pervert and a loser, but beating and ganging up on him when he can't do anything is a dick move.

"Huh? Who the fuck are you!?"

He didn't hesitate and pushed the [Yes] button.

"Who the fuck am I? Well, I'm the one who will beat the shit out of you." Knowing that he is above these thugs, he can't help but act a bit cocky to piss them off. He cracked his fingers and gestured them to come at him.

"Wait...Don't come-" Before Issei can finish, the thug kicks him in the face.

"So another knight trying to save a failed knight...What a drama." Anakin doesn't really know why they called Issei, of all people, a knight, but he doesn't have time to ask. They are rushing at him.

"Hiyaaaa!" Is that how their battle cry sounds like!?

It wasn't a challenging fight, as the thugs who rushed at him had never laid a finger on his body. "Come on, is that the only thing you got? What a disappointment... You guys fight like pregnant women; they're probably even better than you!"

"Shut the fuck up!" One of them tried to hit him with a baseball bat, but Anakin dodged it by lowering his body and kicking that guy in the face, thus knocking him out.

"Welp, my turn," Anakin said with a grin; he then elbowed the guy on his left repeatedly before throwing the thug at the guy on his right. "Three downs, three more to go."

"Don't get cocky, you piece of shit!" Anakin ducked down when one of the thugs swung a bat at him; with a smile, he pulled the thug's pants along with the boxer, revealing a really... "Oh wow, So small, way smaller than my family's dog," Anakin said in awe as the thug had a one-inch penis.

*Punch*

Without showing any mercy, he punched the thug in the dick.

"Okay, two more too....go? Huh, they already running away." Anakin muttered as he lost sight of the two thugs. He then stares at Issei, who is looking at him in disbelief. "You okay?"

"Somehow...That was so awesome, man."

"Thanks; by the way, what are you doing with those thugs?" Anakin asked curiously about what led Issei to his current state. Issei just chuckled at his question.

"Ahahaha, they tried to hit on my girlfriend, and as a man, I can't let that aside."

"I see, so they tried to-" Anakin froze during the sentences. Did Issei just say, girlfriend!? Does it mean that today was the day when Issei died!? But he can't recall Issei receiving such a beating like this.

"Errr...Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, I just didn't expect a plain guy like you will score a girlfriend."

"You said as if you aren't a plain-looking guy," Issei murmured at Anakin's tasteless joke.

"Well, at least I got laid; how about you. Cherry boy?" Anakin asked with a teasing smile, making Issei look away from him.

"I already touched breasts! So that doesn't mean I'm a cherry boy, okay!?" Anakin narrowed his eyes at Issei's statement. Does it mean that this Issei in front of him had already turned into a devil? But then again, it is impossible, considering that Issei just got his ass handed by a bunch of human thugs.

"Oh, is that so? So which breasts did you touch? Your mama?"

"Listen here yo-"

"Ise! Are you okay!?" Before Issei can finish his sentence, a girl rushes to Issei and hugs him passionately, making Anakin blink in surprise.

The girl who hugs Issei isn't Amano Yuuma...

She also is not Rias Gremory or any girls from Rias's peerage...

"Ouch, don't you see I'm hurt, Katase!" Issei groaned in pain as his girlfriend hugged him tightly, her eyes watering. She had been worried about Issei.

It was one of the two kendo girls who beat Issei's ass in the canon story.

What the hell is going on here?

Everything starts to look more confusing and confusing!

Even if Issei was Katase's Ex from the canon story, why has Issei never brought that up!?
