The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 47 - A Dark Challenge

How did it came to this anyway?

"Are you ready, Sekiryuutei Hyoudou Issei?!"

Sairaorg-san shouts.

That's right, before our trip to Kyoto, Buchou had us all gathered in the Gremory castle so she could celebrate completing her entire peerage as well as introducing the new members to her parents.

All was going well untill it was time for us to leave and Sirzechs-sama appeared in the castle.

Buchou wanted to talk to her older brother so we went to a special entrance in the castle to greet him, but Sairaorg was also there.

He said he had no demands for our upcoming rating game excpet that all restrictions be lifted, that's right, whether it's my pailingual or Gasper's ability to stop time, he said he and his peerage will take them head on! Talk about a brave guy!

Sirzechs-sama told us this was an opportunity for us to have a sparring, something that Sairaorg had mentioned some time ago and since both Sairaorg and Buchou were okay with it, I had to agree as well! I can't look weak in a situation like this!

So here we are now, in the training hall of the Gremory castle's basement, facing each other.

"Ddraig, let's go."

[ Leave it to me. ]

I summoned the gauntlet on to my hand and the Balance Breaker countdown began.

Though as long as nothing serious happens in that short time, the Balance Breaker armour could be sustained for a long period of time, but battlefields are unpredictable and I would always get nervous during the short time limit.

But during the countdown, Sairaorg-san patiently waited.

...Is he that confident? It must be because he wanted to see my full strength and didn't want to do anything unnecessary. Everyone here understood that.

I cannot show cowardice in front of all the other servants, as well as Buchou. Even if I lose, I must fight to the death and lay everything out on the line... —Now, the countdown has ended!

[ Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker! ]

As the gauntlet sounded out it gave off a flash of red light, covering my body. The red aura took on the form of armour—Boosted Gear Scale Mail!

Pak! Giant dragon wings spread from behind my back and I readied for attack. With a flowing motion, Sairaorg-san also entered a stance.

...Though I have already seen the match video between Sairaorg-san and the delinquent from the Glasya-Labolas family, Sairaorg-san's speed was still faster than expected.

Even god speed Kiba would feel threatened by this speed. Probably, it is definitely faster than me.

It reminds me of Tatseyo's speed... no, he was faster, Tatseyo barely seemed to move when he fought against us, but when he moved I didn't even had the chance to think about reacting before I was hit.

...I cannot keep letting my opponents make the first move.

I must take initiative with suicidal abandon!

GOOOOOOO!

Firing up my back boosters to the max, I fly straight forward!

Preparing a straight right punch, I thrust forwards! Next is the fist in one motion—!

...Why isn't he dodging!? Faced with my formidable straight punch, Sairaorg-san was not making any effort to evade!

Bastard! Are you saying there is no need to dodge?! Fine, you can take my punch head on!
