Red Dragon Emperor of Domination

Chapter Two: Another Day at The Office

It had been a year since Issei started to attend Kouh Academy. He had been training with Ddraig in his mind, and his Sister in the real world. He still pursued power. Issei had also been hunting down hostiles; Stray Devils, Oni, Revenants, Vampires, and other creatures. 

He was a Shinto Demigod, afterall, it was his job to make sure "guests" didn't attack his people- especially in Devil Territory, where Issei's right to rule was twofold. Issei mainly took to monster hunting as a hobby, due to boredom and in the hopes of a challenge.

He only found a few enemies he felt were worthy of him actually fighting instead of playing. Every offday, Issei trained with his sister. Every break, Issei trained with Athena, Thor, or the Shinto Trinity- all they had to do was flare their power a bit and he could crash down with a bolt of lightning no matter where they were. And, everyday, he called Amaterasu- who was as doting, scary, and compassionate as always.

He also occasionally had run-ins with the Devils, but there were three he saw regularly.

First was Kiba, who had asked him to train him. Obviously, the training had started as one-sided beatdowns. Over the last year, however, Kiba had started to become stronger overall. His sword production rate was quicker, his swords more durable, sharper, and stronger- with a more defined energy signature. Overall, Sword Birth was slowly evolving and Issei was interested in seeing the Balance Breaker. Yuuto himself, on the other hand, had gotten physically stronger and more durable. His stamina had improved as well, his speed and reflexes also grew a little. 

All in all, giving Kiba an ass-kicking everyday afterschool seemed to be just what the doctor ordered.

The next one he saw frequently was Koneko, who had only begun attending school this year. Koneko reminded him of her, so he was somewhat fond of the neko. It also helped that she always came to him for sweets... which he still kept on him at all times for no reason other than habit.

The final one was Rias, who seemed to have a bizzare infatuation or obsession with him. At first, she was incredibly irritating... but he quickly grew desensitized to her offers and temptations. Afterall, Amaterasu was worse... much worse.

Now, in his second year, Issei was walking home with his hands behind his head. He was TIRED. He had faught his sister in the morning, which wasn't easy. He then had to fight an unusually powerful Revenant and an Oni, along with two Strays, on his way to school- which was a bit difficult after his morning exorcises and fighting his sister. Difficult enough that the revenant managed to slip away. He had also reached school a little early, so he fought Kiba then. Then, during school, arm-wrested Koneko for amusement- matching her strength so they didn't reveal they were using supernatural levels of power- he was a bit winded by the end. After school was over, he faught Kiba for the second time. 

All of that had drained his energy noticeably, especially when combined with the bullshit from Rias and the Perverted Duo. Finally, he had faced off against the Revenant from that morning. He was unusually powerful due to dual wielding a demonic sword and Holy Shotgun, and his Sacred Gear(s?) being somewhat difficult to handle. He guessed the Revenant had been stealing Sacred Gears for some time, unless it really had a Sacred Gear with many abilities.

Needless to say, by the time he got home, he was somewhat worn out. He'd wasted energy, so he was more tired than he should be. Nevertheless, he let his sister cook while he took his shower. Afterwards, he ate and laid down but he didn't sleep. Instead, Issei stared at the ceiling in thought.

It had been a year since meeting the Devils. In that time, he'd seen them in action a few times. Since both he and they hunted Strays, it was only natural. Though, recently, he'd been sensing Crows laying in wait.
