Chapter 25
"Since Ise has already met him last night, Asia, Momo, Raynare, Xenovia, this is Gasper Vladi." Rias Gremory introduced while gesturing her hand toward the cross-dressing boy who was hiding behind Akeno while looking at the group in front of them fearfully "He's my other Bishop. For the time being, he's a first-year student at the Academy, and also before being reincarnated into a devil, he was half human, half vampire."
"So that would make him a Dhamphir, a Daywalker, correct?" Raynare asked with a small smile as she crossed her arms on her chest, receiving a nod from Rias in return. Having seen a demonstration of his Sacred Gear's power similar to how Issei had experienced it last night; she decided to continue "Since he's half human with the ability to stop time, his power must be a Sacred Gear called Forbidden Balor View." It wasn't a question, but the crimson haired heiress of the Gremory Clan nodded her head nonetheless.
"Correct, but the problem is that he's not able to handle it." She explained "Because of that Gasper had been sealed till now, unconsciously activating his Sacred Gear was seen as a problem."
"Yeah, I can see why." Momo nodded her head in understanding while looking at Gasper, who was trying to convince Akeno to let him go back to his room "To have the power to stop time… isn't that close to breaking the rules?"
"I would say your doubling and Hakuryuukou's halving powers are both against the rules too, but yeah, that's true. Gasper's power is indeed the closest thing to break a law of nature." Issei spoke to Momo while nodding his head. He could see why the higher-ups wanted Rias to lock Gasper away till now. It was actually not that hard for Issei to imagine what would happen if he managed to reach the most powerful form, Balance Breaker, given the fact that just the basic power of his Sacred Gear itself was extremely dangerous, and he couldn't even control it.
"Still, uncontrollable or not, you were able to make someone with such a powerful gear like that your servant, Buchou." Raynare stated with a smile "You're pretty amazing." On her words, Rias brought out a book, flipped through the pages and then presented it to everyone, showing the explanation page for Evil Pieces.
"Actually, I used a mutation piece to reincarnate him."
"What is a mutation piece?"
It was Kiba who answered Asia's question.
"It's a different and unique piece from the usual ones. People that have special powers and require more than one normal piece to be reincarnated can be reincarnated with a mutation piece."
"Buchou possessed that piece." Akeno spoke up with a smile before Kiba continuing even further.
"Usually, for high-class devils, only one in ten possesses a single piece." His words made the ones who didn't know about it widen their eyes in surprise "It's an irregularity born when the evil piece system was created. It's kinda like a bug in video games but the creator and the authorities like it, so they chose to keep it for fun. Gasper-kun is the one who used that piece."
"Anyway, it seems his Sacred Gear's power increases when he's unconscious." Rias spoke up as he looked at Gasper, who hid even further behind Akeno "Every day his power is increasing. I can say that in the near future, there's a possibility he may attain balance breaker. It's a critical situation. However, it seems the higher-ups had judged that I might be able to control Gasper now. Maybe because I made Yuuto attain his balance breaker, which is an unnatural one." Issei nodded his head in understanding. Kiba's Sword of Betrayer, which allowed him to create Holy-Demonic swords, was indeed an unnatural and irregular Balance Breaker. It was more or less the proof that the balance between holy and demonic attributes had been broken, resulting from the absence of God.
"Judging by ability powers alone, maybe after Akeno he would be next in line." Rias explained with a smile "He's from a pureblooded vampire family with a good lineage, and has a powerful Sacred Gear because of his human half. He is also very strong with the abilities of vampires, and he excels in human magic wielded by wizards as well. If not so, then he probably wouldn't have been made a bishop with just one evil piece."
"W-wow, you're so amazing, Gasper-kun." Asia exclaimed admiringly, but Gasper couldn't even muster a single smile in return.
"So is it alright for him to come outside now?" Xenovia asked curiously with her arms crossing under her ample breasts "Daywalker or not, will it be alright for him to move around under the sun?"
Rias nodded at her question. "I don't think there's a problem, but, he may dislike it."
To further confirmed his master's words, Gasper exclaimed "I hate daylighttt! It's better if the sun disappeareeeeeed!"
"What about blood?" Issei decided to ask in interest "He's a vampire, right? Does he really need blood as much as the full-blooded ones?"
Rias replied with a smile "Since he's a half vampire, he doesn't thirst for blood as often as the others. If you supply the blood for him once every ten days then there shouldn't be a problem. Though, it seems he originally didn't like drinking blood."
"I hate blooooood! I hate fish tooooooo! I hate liver as welllllll!"
"What a good for nothing vampire!" Koneko stated emotionlessly and also, mercilessly while looking at Gasper with half-lifted eyes.
"Uwaaaaaaah! Koneko-chan is a meanieeee!"
"For the time being Asia, Koneko, Xenovia and Raynare, I'll leave Gasper's training to you five. Akeno and I will be going to the meeting place for the top of the three factions. And Yuuto, it seems Onii-sama wants to hear in detail about your Balance Breaker so you should accompany us." She then looked at Raynare after receiving a nod from Kiba "Ise and Raynare, you two keep an eye out for Momo's training, and pay some attention to Gasper and the others. We don't want to cause any unnecessary problem."
"Yes, Buchou."
"I understand." Raynare said with a nod of her head.
"Ise-kun, sorry but, I'll leave Gasper-kun to you." Kiba said while chuckling nervously and scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, don't worry about it." Issei responded with a nod of his head "I really don't have any experience with time stopping ability, but I think I can help him with his social skills."
"Gasper-kun, you should start getting used to the outside, you know?" Akeno said as she turned her head around to look at the cross dressing boy, giving him the warm smile she was so famous for, but Issei had a feeling that it didn't put him at ease than it usually would.
"Akeno onee-samaaaaaaa! Please don't say stuff like thaaaaaaaat"
"Ara ara, that's troubling. Issei-kun, I'll leave him to you then."
"Ah well… then I'll do my best." Issei said while forcing a smile to his face. He wasn't really used to having people that had so much faith in him, but he would never betray Rias and Akeno's expectations. He would surely try his best.
"Alright then, Ise, shall I thoroughly discipline him?" Xenovia asked, raising her hand as if she was summoning Durandal from its dimension, causing Gasper to flinch in shock and look at her fearfully "A weak man is no good, and I have wanted to face off with a vampire since I was young. Leave his treatment to me."
"You're… not really asking me that, aren't you?" Issei chuckled while scratching the back of his head.
"Eeeeeeeeek! No way, I don't want to fight against the user of the holy sword Durrandaaaaal! I-I'll be destroyeeeeed!"
"Don't scream, Gasper." Xenovia told him while walking around Akeno. Her hand reached out to grab the cross-dressing boy's collar, but he quickly dodged and ran to a corner of the room "If you like, shall I prepare a cross and holy water, and also attack you with garlic?"
"Eeeeeeeeeek! Garlic, noooooooooo!"
Issei could only chuckle while scratching the back of his head as Gasper tried to run away with Xenovia chasing after him with Durandal in her hand, crying and screaming fearfully. He was about to follow them with the rest, when suddenly Rias poked him in his shoulder to gain his attention.
"Ise, can I have a minute?" Issei nodded his head and followed Rias out of the room. "What's it, Buchou?"
"I told you to call me Rias, didn't I Ise?" Rias asked him with her arms crossing under her bust, making Issei chuckle nervously and nod his head. It was kinda hard for him to address Rias as her real name, after calling her 'buchou' for such a long time like that. "Anyway, Akeno told me."
"Akeno told you?" Issei repeated in confusion, but then made a sound in realization "Oh." He then quickly continued speaking before Rias could say anything "I wanted to tell you Rias, but…" However, Rias stopped him by placing her hand on his cheek and putting her thumb over his lips.
"It's alright. I know you will tell me, eventually. We talked, and sorted things out… peacefully." She smiled rather darkly with a crimson aura covering her body. Issei really didn't want to ask how. "You worked your way up pretty fast, didn't you? First me, now Akeno… in less than a month you successfully have the two of us wrapped completely around your finger." He tried to explain, but Rias beat him to it yet again when she removed her hand from his cheek and continued to tease him "Who's your next target? Is it Asia or Raynare, or Momo Momozono?"
"I… uh… Please don't say it like that." Issei said while scratching the back of his head nervously. "All I know is that I love you, Rias, but I also can't ignore Akeno-san's feelings for me either. I really don't want to hurt you or Akeno-san; you both have always been so kind to me." Rias looked at him for a second with a neutral expression before smiling.
"I know. I told you, didn't I? It's normal for a devil to have multiple partners, which is the reason why I am 'okay' with you starting a relationship with Akeno." Rias reminded him, but he was sure she wasn't very honest about it, which he didn't blame her at all. "I really don't want to share you with anyone, seriously I don't, but if things have to turn out this way then all I can do is making sure I am the best girl in your heart, the one you will love and care for the most. So about your relationship with Akeno, you have my support, but remember that I am not going to lose to her if thing really work out between you two. She's my best friend, you know. I want her to be happy, and I know you are the right one to make her feel so." The crimson haired young woman smiled as she leaned a bit forward and pressed her body against Ise's, with her arms wrapping around his neck and her soft breasts pouring over his chest, making him blush slightly. "So, do I get a kiss from my cute Knight for being such a generous master?"
"Rias…" Issei smiled and placed his hand on her hips as Rias used that opportunity to kiss him softly on the lips, which Issei was more than eager to return.
It took them a moment, but eventually, Issei and Rias separated and pulled back from each other. "We should get going." She told him while their lips were only inched away.
"Yeah." The Knight nodded his head and finally let go of Rias, allowing her to take her arms back and remove herself from him.
"I will see you later, Ise."
"Yeah, see you later as well, Rias."
Line Break
"Hey, start running. If you're a Daywalker then you should be able to run in the day." Xenovia shouted while slashing her holy sword left to right, letting out a dangerous sound while emitting a holy aura and forcing Gasper to run as fast as possible while ducking his head under his hands.
"Eeeeeeek! Don't chase me while swinging the Durandaaaaaaal!"
As they approached the evening, the cross dressing vampire was continuing to be chased by the Durandal wielder. Koneko, meanwhile, was chasing Gasper alongside Xenovia, while holding garlic in her hands. It was the first time Issei had seen the petite white haired girl having so much fun doing something and actually looked like she was bullying her fellow first year.
"Hey, Gya-kun, if you eat garlic you'll become really healthy."
"Nooooooo! Koneko-chan is bullying meeeeeee!" Gasper shouted in desperation. Apparently, he didn't like garlics as much as a normal vampire did.
"Well, at least they're having fun, aren't they?" Momo, who was standing next to him, asked with a smile. Issei nodded his head in agreement, he couldn't say anything about Gasper, but it was quite clear that Xenovia and Koneko were having a lot of fun. Even Raynare and Asia, who were observing the trio from afar, was also smiling and laughing to the scene.
"They are training hard." Issei said determinedly as he held up the wooden training sword he was holding in his hand and then turned to Momo "There's no reason for us to not do the same as well."
"E-eh… do we really have to?" Momo asked nervously as she looked at the brown haired young man who suddenly took a fighting stance before slashing his wooden sword down her head, forcing her to raise her own weapon and block his attack. "H-hey, don't suddenly attack me like that." Issei was currently the one teaching Momo how to fight, and he wasn't giving her an easy time. "Why do I have to learn how to fight with a sword? Am I going to fight Hakuryuukou with a sword? Can Boosted Gear create a sword?" She asked, throwing question after question at him.
"It's about reflex and decision making, Momo-chan." Issei replied with a smile. However, before he could continue, Issei suddenly felt a dangerous presence approaching them, and turned his head, widening his eyes when he saw a man wearing a full set of Yukata making his way toward them with a grin on his face.
"Heh, the servants of Maous' family's devils are really playing with each other over here."
"Azazel!" Issei blurted out in surprise while everyone was looking at him worriedly.
"Yo, young man, it has been some time since that gaming night, hasn't it?" The leader of the Fallen Angel grinned as he stopped in front of Issei and Momo. "Raynare, how do you do? I hope you're behaving."
"Azazel-sama." Raynare greeted him and lowered her head respectfully, but she too was becoming rather uncomfortable by his presence.
In a blink of an eye, Xenovia appeared next to Issei, with her sword at the ready. Momo was nervous, while Asia hid behind Raynare.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. Then suddenly he remembered Rias telling him Azazel and his strange obsession for Sacred Gear, especially the rare and Longinus-tier ones. He made his sword appear, and stood protectively in front of Momo, who was also surprised by his sudden action. He felt no hostile intention, but Issei didn't want to test their luck.
Azazel smiles bitterly "Now now, lower your guard down young man. I really don't feel like fighting. Plus, you should somehow know that even with the bunch gathered here, you wouldn't win against me, right?" He smirked before saying thoughtfully while scratching his chin "But, with Sugari no Ontachi, the sword of the lightning empress, in your disposal you might have a small chance to give me some fun, but you can't control it, can you?" Issei growled in annoyance but Azazel did not stop there "Anyway, since I was taking a stroll, I came to visit the devils place. Is this Sekiryuutei?" He looked at Momo "What about the holy demonic sword wielder present? I also came to see him."
"He isn't here, and Momo-san has nothing to say to you." Xenovia answered simply.
"I see, the holy demonic sword user isn't here. This is so boring." Azazel then darted his eyes to Gasper, who was fearfully hiding behind a tree not too far away from them "So, that vampire over there is the possessor of Forbidden Balor View, isn't he?" He asked Issei while pointing his thumb toward his shoulder toward Gasper, who had started panicking as if he was being attacked at the moment "Well, I remember Leviathan's sister has a servant with the Absorption Line. His name is Saji, as I recall. I recommend you to bring him here and keep him around while training Gasper. With him around, if the vampire invokes his power, he can absorb Forbidden Balor View's excess. I am pretty sure it can make the time stopping effect run less wildly." Everyone widened their eyes in surprise, no one more than Raynare.
"I see!" The young woman exclaimed in surprise "Why didn't I think about that?"
"Pretty sure you can figure it out eventually." The governor of Grigori smirked before continuing "Also, in order to improve his control over the sacred gear, the fastest way would be to drink the blood of the host of the Sekiryuutei."
"E-Eh!" Momo exclaimed in shock as she slapped a hand to her neck "W-what are you talking about!?"
"If you let a vampire drink blood, they'll gain some power." Azazel explained with a small chuckle "If you let a vampire drink the blood of a powerful mystical beast then they will have a lot of power for a short period of time until the blood run out. I believe that you already know because of your Boosted Gear and the dragon inside it, you're particularly a dragon." Momo nodded her head nervously. She still wasn't very into the idea of letting a vampire bite into her neck and drink her blood. "You can cut your finger and drop your blood into his mouth. I don't think drinking traditionally is necessary." Azazel reassured the female idol while waving his hand around while laughing loudly.
"Jerk…" Momo muttered, and even if Azazel could hear it, he didn't say anything.
"By the way, I'm sorry about Valenne. Our Hakuryuukou came into contact with you on her own accord. I am sure you would have been surprised, right?" Momo nodded her head. Even now, she could still feel the overwhelming present of the white dragon. It was hard for her to imagine herself fighting against someone like that and might actually manage to stand a chance.
"So her name was Valenne, not Albion?" Issei asked in curiosity, which Azazel nodded his head in confirmation.
"Albion is the name of the dragon sealed inside her Sacred Gear. She doesn't like to give up her real name to others easily." He said, crossing his arms on his chest. "Well, it's time for me to take my leave. There isn't anything else for me to do here so, yeah, bye… See you later." With that said, he left, almost as quickly as he had come to meet them.
"Well, that's about it… Issei-kun, want to come find Saji with me?" Raynare suggested with a smile, to which Issei nodded his head and put away his wooden sword, making Momo breath out a sigh in relief. "The rest of you, continue your training, okay?" She turned to the others and they all nodded their heads, with the only exception being Gasper, who wasn't trying to sneak back to his room but was grabbed by Koneko before he could go anywhere.
With that, the group parted, with Issei and Raynare making their way to the main school building and heading to Saji's classroom to find him. However, halfway there, something or rather someone caught their attentions and the two couldn't help but take a stop to look.
It was a beautiful girl looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and blue eyes and wearing a set of pink magical outfit. She had a child-like body, but extremely large breasts. Standing at a corner of the corridor, the girl was spinning her stick around and around as she danced and posed to the crowd of male students that had gathered around her. With their cellphones and even cameras in their hands, the boys were taking her photographs, excited by her cute but also very sexy movements. Her pink skirt was so short that her panties were being intermittently flashed and exposed every time she swayed her hips or spun around.
"She… looks familiar." Raynare told her best friend with a thoughtful expression on her face while looking at the cutely posing magical girl "I swear I have seen here somewhere before."
"Hey, you can't do that here!" Before Issei could ask anything, a familiar young man from the student council, Saji Genshirou, also the one they were looking for, said loudly and came jumping through the crowd, being followed shortly by Mira Hanakai and Ruruko Nimura, who were also members of Sona Sitri's peerage. "Disperse this instance! Don't make a ruckus at this kind of place!" He shouted and pushed the students away.
"There's nothing to see here everyone." Momo said "Please go back to your classroom!"
With the help of his two fellow members of the student council, Saji managed to disperse the crowd and made them go back to their classrooms, not very willingly however. When they were the only ones left in the corridor, Saji finally turned to the mysterious magical girl and told her with an annoyed smile "You too, please don't wear that kind of costume. Do you know there's a dress code according to the place? This is troublesome."
"Eh, but this is my uniform " The girl winked cutely, making Saji ground his teeth in annoyance, before she looked around and finally noticed Ise "AH! It's you!" She shouted while pointing her finger at the young Knight, making him take a step back in caution when she suddenly ran forward and threw herself at him. It was at that moment Issei realized she wasn't a normal human, because the way she was running at him was anything but human. Issei was known for his speed, but it appeared that the girl was much faster, and she was able to tackle him with her arms wrapping around his head and her boobs smashing into his face, nearly knocking him to the ground if it wasn't for a certain muscular old man who appeared behind him without even making a sound and then used his gigantic hand to stop Issei from falling.
"Oh my, Serafall-chan, it appears that you have found my grandson." Hayato Furinji laughed while stroking his beard, making Serafall to look up at him before looking back at Issei, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Eh… this is your grandson, but I thought." She said and released Issei, standing up and raising her hand to ask him with the same cheerful now "You're an old man now?"
"What a surprise?!" Hayato laughed boomingly.
Serafall then snapped her head back to look at Issei as he stood straight up. "So, this is really your grandson? He's cute." She said and grabbed his face with both hands "He looked just like you when you were younger."
"Indeed he is. How have you been, Issei-chan?" Hayato gave his grandson a smile before nodding his head at Raynare, who smiled and lowered her head to greet him.
"I have been doing fine, thank you, Ji-chan." Issei smiled back at his grandfather before noticing Rias walking out of the classroom and making her way toward them, following shortly behind by Sona Sitri, the student council's president and also the heiress to the Sitri Household. "Buchou." He and Raynare greeted her.
"Hey there Ise, Raynare." She smiled at them beautifully.
"Rias-sempai." It appeared that Saji took notice of Rias first "You came at the right..." However, he immediately became lost for words when he saw Sona, approaching him with a stern look on her face.
The black haired young woman then looked around and asked stoically "What's the meaning of this? Saji, I always tell you to settle things concisely-." However, when she saw Serafall, she immediately stopped speaking, and it didn't take it long for Issei to notice the similarities between Serafall and Sona.
"It can't be…" Raynare gasped in surprise, having already putting the puzzles together and figuring out who she was.
"Sona-chan! Found you ." Serafall cheered and happily clung to Sona after removing her hands from his face, making the young president of the Student Council to become extremely uncomfortable.
"You're Leviathan, Serafall Leviathan-sama." Raynare's words made the other members of the student council to cry out in shock. Issei would have done the same, if he hadn't figured that out himself beforehand. They both lowered their heads to show respect to one of the leaders of the Devil Faction, making the others to follow suit.
"Ah, please raise your head." Serafall smiled, waving her hands while having both arms wrapped around her sister's body.
"Serafall-sama, it's been a long time." Rias stepped forward and greeted her with a smile.
"Ara, Rias-chan," Serafall said "Long time~ Have you been doing well?"
"Y-Yes. Thanks to you. Did you come here to check on the meeting place?"
"Yes, but also to check on So-tan as well, it's been such a long time since I last saw her." Serafall said while crying fake tears, making Sona's expression to become even heavier, to the point Issei didn't know if she was feeling annoyed, or embarrassed. "Also, it's been a long time since I last saw you too, Hayato, you're an old man now, but you're still huge!" She said, looking at Issei's grandfather.
"Ah yes, indeed I am." Hayato laughed while stroking his beard "I see that you have taken a liking to the outfit of magical girl. Quite suit you, by the way."
"Ara, of course, it is the fashion in this country." She then turned her head back to look at her sister, whose face was completely red, almost matching the color of Rias' hair. It was like looking at her elder sister, her speech and conduct, she was feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Sona-chan, what's wrong? Your face is completely red, you know? Since it's the long awaited reunion with your onee-sama, me, I think it would be better if you were a bit happier? 'Onee-sama!' 'So-tan!', calling like that and embracing each other in a Yuri way, that sort of development is fine with me as well!"
"O-Onee-sama." Sona stuttered while looking at her sister "This is my school and I am entrusted with the job of the student council president here… No matter how close relatives we are, Onee-sama's behavior is too much… I can't also approve of that sort of outfit."
"No way, Sona-chan, if I am told that by Sona-chan, your Onee-chan will be sad! Sona-chan doesn't know that her onee-chan is admired as the Magical girl! Since with the glittering stick, I erase angels and fallen angels."
"Onee-sama, Please be prudent." Sona then ran away with tearful eyes. It had been the first time Issei had ever seen the usual calm and collected Sona Sitri acting like that. "Uuh, I can't bear it!"
"Wait! Sona-chan! Where are you going and leaving your Onee-chan behind?!" Serafall cried out and immediately chased after her sister.
"Please don't follow me!"
"Noooooo! Don't abandon your Onee-chaaaaaaan! So-taaaaaan!"
"I have asked you so many times not to add 'tan'!"
"This is probably a bit much to take in…" Issei muttered while scratching the back of his head. It was quite clear that Serafall had a sister-complex, and she really loved her sister, Sona. "So I take that this happens a lot." He asked, looking at his grandfather, who nodded his head in response.
"Serafall truly love her sister, I actually have never seen anyone so happy in my life the day Sona-chan was born." The muscular old man said "Ah~, it's good to be young, isn't it?"
"It sure is…" He then smiled before asking in surprise "What are you doing here, Ji-chan? Are you going to attend the meeting too?"
"I am, Issei-chan. Because of your involvement and its importance, I have been assigned by Amaterasu-dono and her council to participate in the upcoming meeting between the Three Great Factions." Hayato nodded his head seriously.
"I… see." Issei nodded his head in understanding. He had never met any of the gods of his country before, but he knew that they cared a lot for his wellbeing, as he was one of the protectors of their Sacred Shrines, the one dedicated to the leader of the Shinto Pantheon, Amaterasu herself. His grandfather had told him that he would meet them soon in the near future, probably as soon as he returned to his duty as the guardian of the Ise Grand Shine, something that he was sure he could manage while continuing to serve under Rias.
"So, do you have any luck with the Empress' spirit?" His grandfather asked, and Issei shook his head "I understand. You will find her, Ise-chan. I am sure of it." He said encouragingly, putting a hand on his grandson's shoulder. Issei looked at him, and couldn't help but return his grandfather's warm smile with his own.
End of Chapter 25
Yagami's note: Hey there everyone! It's been awhile since I last updated this story.
I actually stayed up late to finish this one, it's actually 4:23 P.M when I finished writing this chapter, not to mention that I am have a stomachache for drinking outdated milk (something I was not aware of until it was too late) so I really hope that everyone will like it and forgive me for putting this story on hiatus for such a long time. This chapter isn't much, almost identical to cannon, and I know that I also skipped the pool and class meeting screens, but I don't think they are both necessary for this story and I also really want to get to the fun stuff: The FIGHTING!
Also, I would like to point out that because Issei is not the weilder of Boosted Gear in this story, he won't be the one who will recieve Ascalon, Momo will. However, it doesn't mean that he won't use it, but I will let you know that it won't be his second sword among the three legendary swords that he inherited.
Next chapter, we will have the meeting between the leaders of the Three Great Factions, and Issei's first actual battle with Sugari no Ontachi, the Sword of the Lightning Empress, who will also appear next chapter. I have left a hint in the early chapters of how she will appear, and her whereabouts at the moment, so I seriously hope someone will notice it and leave a review telling me that you know what I am going to do with her.
Next chapter will be a really long chapter, but I am sure that I will be able to finish it in no time at all.
As always, READ and REVIEW
I will see you in the next chapter.
Ja ne!
P/S: Issei's second legendary sword will be appearing really soon.
