za worlda: Don't worry.

Sasuke75249: I'm actually debating on putting Yasaka in the harem. I'm trying to figure out how it will work.

Hooddies: You are not the only person that has thought of Kalawarner as a secretary. And were not alone 'Angeldoctor' also thought of it in his story 'Devils and Vampires'. I'm not sure about Raynare and Kalawarner in the harem I just don't think it will work. No, Issei will not have a peerage he is a Human.

WishingForNoErrorsSoHard: No I don't think Koneko will be in the harem and there are other ways for Issei to learn Senjutsu. Also Koneko doesn't start learning Senjutsu til Volume 5 so yea.

Animeloverq8: No Issei will not be a Devil the tags for the story say Human and Magician Issei. So Issei will still be human through this whole fic. Yes Issei will have a harem it's in the summary and the end of the last chapter.

Bunny153539: Yeah this story was inspired by The Magician and I actually didn't like the whole summoning from fiction thing in the story to.

SpecH82: I completely understand your reservations about Elemental Sight. But let's look at this logically. Issie is an average human who just discovered magic and found out he has magic. While Tatsuya is the very definition of prodigy his ability to comprehend knowledge is way above that of a human. Remember Elemental Sight uses the brain to build what the user sees. Also Tatsuya has known about magic all of his life and trained in it extensively. And still after years of using the Elemental Sight Tatsuya still can't see into the future. So Issei being able to see into the future will most likely not happen in this fic. But I might find ways to cheat that. :)

Apocalups Dragon: Issei will get Decomposition but I might change the name of Gram Demolition. But i'm not sure about Regrowth.

Chapter 2: Familiar Time

(Magic is Real)

Abandoned Warehouse

Issei stared at the magic circle with no expression on his face. How could he possibly react to the situation that he is in. He expected a powerful monster that could dominate like a dragon, or a beautiful women he could perv on. But what he got is neither of those, it's actually quite underwhelming.

"Your a crow." He said blandly to his new familiar.

That's right what he is currently staring at is a baby black crow with weird red eyes the hold three tomoes in them.

"No i'm an Uchiha." The crow said back to Issei. It's tone clearly held annoyance at his assumption.

"Your a crow."

"I'm an Uchiha

"Your a crow."

"I'm an Uchiha."

"I'm pretty sure i'm staring at a fucking crow."

"No you're staring at a fucking Uchiha."

…

…

…

"Okay, how about you tell what an Uchiha is before I blast you into oblivion." Issei said to the crow who he is seriously regretting summoning. The crow then flew over to Issei before landing in his messy hair. It ruffled inside the hair getting itself comfortable.

"I have a name you know, it's Izumi." The now named Izumi said to Issei with annoyance lacing her voice. Issei just nodded wanting to get to the explanation.

"Well you see we Uchiha were originally crows but were blessed by the some of the Shinto Gods giving us amazing abilities." Izumi said in a haughty tone and Issei was almost sure if she had a chest it would currently be pushed out.

…

"So you're a crow with special abilities." Issei said flatly looking at Izumi with a deadpan stare. His stare plus tone caused izumi to deflate slightly before coming back full force.

"NO!" She yelled into Issei ear causing him to jump in surprise and stumble. He rubbed his ear with his right hand and glared at the crow. She didn't have to yell so loud! As he was thinking this Issei's mind stopped and he stared at the crow with no expression on his face.

"Hey… your a girl right?" He asked the question completely serious. Izumi glared at Issei with her weird eyes which was incredibly intimidating.

"Of course i'm a girl you FUCKING IDIOT!" She started off slow before yelling in Issei's ear causing him to fall on his butt in surprise. He rubbed his ears again to get rid of the ringing.

"What the hell! Why did you yell again?!" Issei yelled right back towards the cro-Uchiha. Izumi just continued glaring at the magician before huffing and crossing her wings over her chest.

"Because you question if I was a girl." The Uchiha said annoyed the useless questions her new master were. Ugh why did she accept the contract in the first place, a powerful, charismatic, handsome, and intelligent man with a harem that could kick ass and solve every problem himself.

Issei just grumbled to himself while trying to remember his earlier train of thought. When Issie finally remembered he started crying while getting on his hands and knees muttering to himself.

"Dammit, that womanly voice that could have been a beautiful kimono-wearing Nekomata with big tits. But nooooo he got an annoying crow." He sadly said to himself while Izumi just glared at him.

Somewhere in another dimension a seductive kimono-wearing Nekomata with giant tits sneezed before looking around confused. She then shrugged her shoulders causing her bountiful jugs to do something amazing.

Meanwhile Izumi sighed to herself at the actions of her master. She then noticed something peculiar about her master.

"Hey master, what is wrong with your left arm."

Issei looked up from his misery confused at her question before looking towards his arm. It had red dragonic-looking gauntlet on it with a green gem on it and two yellow spikes. Issei just stared at his arm before reacting rather violently.

"AAAHHHH. What the fuck is wrong with my arm?" Issei screamed while flailing his arms around. Izumi just stared at the scene with a sweatdrop, seriously this is her master the person who proclaimed they would be the 'Strongest Human.'

As Izumi was lost in her thoughts Issei had already calmed down and is looking at the gauntlet in curiosity. He closed his eyes and took a calming breath, he soon opened his eyes and noticed the gauntlet is gone. The gauntlet had apparently been sapping his magical energy, when he cut the connection it just dematerialized. He sighed in relief, happy he didn't have to explain to his parents about his arm.

[It would be annoying to explain your arm.] A deep voice resonated within Issei's mind causing the teen to look around for the origin of the voice. When he found no on he just shook head trying to get his head around the situation.

'Okay I must be going crazy. First magic now a mysterious voice in my head. I should get myself check out.' Issei thought to himself sighing while reviewing how weird his life had become.

'You're not the only one that heard the voice master.'A feminine voice that Issei recognized as Izumi's resonated within his mind. Issei looked over at the Uchiha to be sure it was her voice he heard. When the crow-like creature stared back at him silently it confirmed the question.

'Wait, how are speaking to me in my mind?' Issei asked confused about the whole situation.

'It's part of one of the clauses within the Familiar Contract I sighed.' Izumi answered while huffing in annoyance. Issei just blinked not remembering putting that clause within the contract. It was probably part of the generic contract since he didn't add much to the contract. He only added an empathy link between which is why Issei can easily tell Izumi's emotions.

'Ookay so what was that deep voice.'

[That would be me.] Again the deep voice was heard causing Izumi and Issei to look around. Whoever the voice belonged to was most likely intercepting there metal conversations which is something neither are comfortable. The deep voice just sighed at the incompetence the two were showing.

[Down here you fool! Your hand!] The voice sounded annoyed. It's words causing Izumi and Issei to look at Issei's left hand where a green glow was emanating from. COnveniently the glow is exactly where the green gem from the gauntlet was.

'Sooo it's safe to assume you're the gauntlet that materializes on my arm?' Issei questioned the voice to assure his thoughts.

[Yeah]

'Well can you tell me what the gauntlet is and what your name is? Assuming you have one at all?'

[Sure. The gauntlet is one of the thirteen Longinus-type Sacred Gears known as the Boosted Gear. And I am Ddraig the Red Dragon Emperor and one of the Two Heavenly Dragons.]

(Magic is Real)

Abandoned Warehouse

Half an Hour Later

"Wow." It was all Issei could say, and Izumi is in the same shape as him.

After Ddraig's introduction followed by quite a lot of yelling the group of three decided to share information about themselves with each other. Safe to say they are all being who seriously have a lot of potential in Issei's and Izumi's case or already incredibly powerful in Ddraig's case.

[Were prime potential lab rats.] Ddraig muttered darkly and you can't blame him he was once experimented on before.

Where the hell do you think those useless Twice Criticals come from. (AN: Seriously those things sounds useless and are useless. Unless your Siegfried who was lucky. Please tell me you agree with me.)

Issei is a human that was just introduced to the supernatural world and yet he has surprisingly large magical reserve. And probably the OP magic in the world that takes the form of Elemental Sight.

Izumi is and Uchiha which isn't that special unless you take into consideration there rarity. Uchihas are highly desired familiars and have practically been hunted into extinction. The only reason Izumi accepted becoming his familiar is because of his use of the Familiar Summoning Ritual. Which is said to try and pair up masters and familiars that fit well together, and Izumi took a chance and ended up with Issei.

Uchihas are being that are high skilled in Fire and Illusion Magic, along with having a type of Eye Magic called the Sharingan that is seriously awesome! They also fly faster than most supernatural beings thanks to their blessing they received from the Shinto Deities. (AN: If you don't know what the Sharingan is, please search it up. I don't want to explain it.)

Finally Ddraig is one of the Two Heavenly Dragons, who can be considered God-Class beings. Considering Ddraig is an oddity is his own right considering he was born with the ability to double his own power. If that isn't OP than Issei doesn't know what is.

They really are the perfect lad rats.

"Definetly, do you know how many would commit genocide to possess the Elemental SIght? I suggest you try and keep that secret." Izumi said to Issei her voice clearly showing her worry. Issei looked at Izumi hoping for her to give him more information on the matter, luckily Ddraig answered his unasked question.

[She's right partner, Hecate is a prime example of this. If dhe can't have the Elemental Sight herself she'll try to find a way to control you.] Ddraig's voice sounded through the warehouse. Issei looked at Ddraig in confusion on 'Hecate' is.

"Who's Hecate?" His voice showed confusion on who this person is. And depending on the feelings he is getting from Ddraig and Izumi he really should know.

"Hecate is a goddess of Greek Mythology who represents magic, ghost, and a bunch of other stuff. She's a woman who would start the apocalypse if i meant discovering something new about magic. Studying furthering her magical ability is all she cares about in her immortal life." Izumi said incredulous at the fact Issei doesn't know about Hecate, Ddraig is currently having similar thoughts as well.

Issei looked at Izumi and 'looked' Ddraig confused at their silence, seriously what is so wrong about not knowing about a goddess of a a country he has never been to.

[Partner, Hecate is well known for her shrewd and cocky personality along with her drive to do anything to further her magic as the Uchiha said before. And she is willing to do anything, she was willing to sleep with Hephaestus just to get information on crafting Mystic Codes, another perfect example would the Siege of Mount Hiei.]

"The Siege of Mount Hiei!" Issei exclaimed in shock at the revelation. Of course he knows what the Siege of Mount Hiei is he's Japanese it's practically impossible not to know.

The Siege of Mount is an event that happened during the reign of Oda Nobunaga a japanese warlord born during the Sengoku Period of Japan. When Oda led an army of warriors against the warrior monks of Mt. Hiei. The battle was more of a massacre considering Oda's overwhelming numbers versus the warrior monks lesser numbers.

"Wait what role did Hecate play in that massacre?" Issei asked Ddraig frantically to know the the answer.

[Simple, The Siege of Mount Hiei never happened.]

…

…

"Wha-."

[Oda Nobunaga never charge the mountain with 30,000 men, he never set fire to the mountain. What actually happen is Hecate set up a giant ritual around the mountain to forcibly summon Great Red into the Human World using the warrior monks and civilians as power sources. Fortunately the ritual failed, unfortunately all the people that unknowingly powered the ritual died along with setting fire to the mountain. Hecate then used her abilities in magic and implanted memories into everyone that Oda was the cause of the whole event.]

Silence.

Just pure silence, there was no sound coming from Issei as he thought over the words that left Ddraig's 'mouth'.

To think that one of the most famous warlords of Japan actually never committed one of the biggest massacres ever. To think such an historic event never actually happened.

What else in history was actually caused by supernatural beings.

Safe to say Issei fainted from the implications.

(Magic is Real)

Rode to the Hyoudou Residence

Half an Hour Later

The resident magician Is currently walking towards his home. He had just finished cleaning the remains of the Familiar Summoning Ritual so no one will find it, he has to keep magic a secret and all that.

Through the trek home Issei was in deep thought about the fact Hecate had caused such a huge massacre just to summon a being that probably would have killed her. Issei never had a real opinion about the supernatural world before, even though those legends depict dragons as ferocious monster that just kill, kidnap, and eat through their whole lives before some hero or god comes to slay it. Ddraig had completely broken that assumption with his attitude and knowledge.

So when they were legends like Medea of Colchis he thought they were just exaggerated a lot. But the story of Hecate broke that assumption again. To put it simply the legends of the supernatural world and it are backwards.

Dragons are depicted as animals that should be put down. And Gods and Goddesses are depicted as beings that always act for the good of humanity.

Yeah bullshit.

So far Ddraig and Hecate are the complete opposites of what they are depicted as in legends. SO Issei decided to stop trusting the legends of the mundane world and learn about them from someone more experienced with the supernatural world.\

How the hell is he going to do that though. Solomon's book only contains information on magic and supernatural races, not anything about legends and myths. Ddraig has knowledge but he never bothered to learn that much just stuff that was relevant to him. How the hell Hecate was relevant to Ddraig he doesn't know. But considering Ddraig's burst of anger whenever Issei asks for more information about Hecate, she most likely slighted him in the past.

'Hey Izumi why is it no one is questioning the fact there is a crow in my hair.' Issei said over the mental link to Izumi who is currently resting in his hair. And for some reason no one is paying attention to that fact. It's like having a bird in your hair has suddenly become the norm.

'I told you master, Uchihas are skilled in the use of Illusion Magic. So I placed an illusion around us to avoid attention, to everyone else you're just a generic middle school student walking home.' Izumi said to Issei pride practically oozing from her 'voice'. Issei was stunned at her sentence before waving his arms around like an idiot. Depending on the people around him his assumption is correct. The people see him walking but they don't see do anything else.

That means…

Issei giggled perversely and shameless ogled a woman with huge breasts as she walked by. His attention was soon shifted to another one, and another one. Without any of the woman or anyone for that matter knowing.

Issei's two companions had varied reactions to his actions. Izumi had a massive sweatdrop while Ddraig groaned in anguish.

[Why is it I always get the perverts. First Belzard, then Elsha, and Damien. Why do you hate me world, why?] Ddraig mutter quietly and you can practically hear the pain in his voice.

'Wow master you can at least show some tact and be subtle about your desires.' Izumi said through the link while chuckling internally.

"Why should I Izumi? This is heaven I can perv on all these woman and not get slapped for! Maybe we should go into the girl's changing roo-." Issei said excited for the possibilities of Izumi's skills.

"I'm going to have to stop you there master. I'm not going to let you abuse my abilities for your perverse desires." Izumi's tone clearly held no room for argument.

"What! Why?" Issei protested hoping to keep his peeping tool.

"No!"

"Izumi please?"

"No!"

Issei visibly sank at Izumi's denial, he sulked the rest of the way in sadness.

As Issei and company came upon his house, Issei stood in front of it and thought for a moment.

'Hey Izumi do you know how to make a nest?'

Issei heard a scoff over the mental link when he asked his question.

'Of course I can make a nest master. Why?'

'Well you can you make a nest on that tree right there, the one right next to my window?'

'Sure.'

As Izumi flew forward to start building her nest while Issei went inside. As he walked up the stairs to his bedroom on the second floor his mom called.

"Issei is that you?" Issei's mom called from the kitchen, the distinct smell of spices told Issei she is cooking.

"Yes mom." Yelled back Issei to make sure his mom heard him.

"Okay just going to let you know i'm making meatloaf for dinner tonight."

"Okay."

Issei soon entered his room and dropped to the floor. He looked under his bed and reached for Solomon's book. Issei wiped the small amount of dust that had gathered on the book before sitting at his desk and flipping through pages. The silence was soon broken by Ddraig's voice sounding through the room.

[What are you looking for partner?]

"I'm looking for a type of magic to learn. I've been debating between what to learn next. I'm stagnating now in my training since all i've been doing recently is learn how to write runes for the ritual and magical exercises. If what you and Izumi said is true, then I need to learn how to defend myself." Issei's voice held a surprisingly amount conviction in it at the end. Enough to actually silence Ddraig who is currently reevaluating his opinion of Issei. So Ddraig to the liberty of looking through Issei's eyes and helping him in his search to learn a new type of magic.

(Magic is Real)

Unknown Place

Unknown Time

A deep voice chuckled through the colorful void known as the Dimensional Gap.

The Dimensional Gap is the space in between the different dimensions of the world. A vast area that a person can easily be lost in, it's effect causing madness to all those not protected.

The being that is chuckling is a huge and i mean HUGE red dragon with large wings and orange eyes. It's body covered in thick red scales so thick and strong that not even an atomic bomb can scratch them.

The being is Great Red a Dragon that is tied 666 for the strongest being in existence.

"Your life is interesting boy." Great Red spoke as his eyes shifted to the person sitting in a throne-like chair next to him. The person is male that seemed oddly familiar, he has dark brown almost black hair and brown eyes.

Well he should be familiar after all this is Issei Hyoudou.

300 years in the future.

And in front of the two being is a massive screen made of light showing a video of a younger Issei looking through Solomon's book.

"You know it's weird, you can dream of the past yet not the future. You'd think you would have stopped Trihexa before it was unsealed." Issei's accused Great Red but voice held a softness showed he wasn't serious. Great Red just scoffed at the notion of what he is saying.

"Don't patronize me Issei, you know I don't meddle in the lives of the weaker."

"Yet you helped during the Siege of the Underworld and willing to watch my life. I know you're many thing Great Red but surely not a hypocrite." A smirk formed on Issei's face.

"Because you're not weaker than me. If you really tried you could kill me."

"If you tried you could kill me too."

Great Red begrudgingly accepted the fact even though he doubts it. Issei is too damn slippery to kill, it's scary especially when you he's human. Issei wasn't strong, but he's skilled and smart and that's all anyone needs to take down any opponent, even Great Red.

Especially if Issei uses those. Great Red shivered at the thought of those things. Even though don't looked frightening they are scary as hell.

It reminded Issei that in the supernatural world they are tied for the top with Ophis. The three of them are often called the 'Three Primordials'.

Two Dragon Gods and a single Human.

Issei Hyoudou is the perfect example of the potential humans hold.

The screen soon grabbed both his and Issei's attention and they both returned to watching the life of Issei Hyoudou.

The God of Magic.

End

Hey readers this is the second chapter of 'Magic is Real'. I'm sorry for the short chapter I meant to make it longer but i'm really tired. I promise next chapter will be longer.

I bet you're all wondering what 'those' are? Well your questions will eventually be answered.

As you see Izumi, Issei's familiar is a blessed crow. Pretty much she's just a blessed crow from Shinto Mythology that have been hunted into practical extinction because of their usefulness. Tell me your thoughts about her as a whole.

If you haven't already figured it out this whole story is basically Issei and Great Red watching Issei's life and how his legend started.

Also do you readers want Issei to use a weapon or just stick to magic.

Also just because of the way I introduced Hecate doesn't mean she's the big antagonist of the story. It was just a way give Issei an opinion on the Gods in general and gives him a drive to learn more. Hecate is basically a magus from Fate, willing to do anything to further their studies in magecraft. Like I don't know kidnap and experiment on children or kidnap and kill children ritualistically.

But here's the real kicker do you readers want Issei to slay Hecate. That's right slay, kill, destroy, do you readers want an epic fight between Hecate the Goddess of Magic and Issei a human who will become the God of Magic

Finally title change? Anyone think this story needs a new title? Oh and I opened a forum for my stories look on my profile for that information.

Also anyone willing to become my beta for the story.
