Third Person POV

Issei was feeling a bit confused. Ever since that strange dream, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about it. Even after telling Dante all about it, the Devil Hunter proved to be of no help whatsoever. It couldn't be the work of a demon, and that was also backed up by Trish, who, surprisingly, was a demon herself and possessed more knowledge than both Dante and Vergil combined. Trish told Issei that no demon, besides Mundus, could possibly be responsible for what he had seen. However, it couldn't have been Mundus because he was still sealed away.

So Issei had been feeling strange ever since that morning, even after being dragged outside by Vergil who had grown tired of waiting. Vergil wanted to begin Issei's training immediately.

Dante: "Jeez, Vergil. Give the kid a break will ya? He just had some weird dream and he's still thinking about it"

Vergil merely scoffed, rolling his eyes at his younger siblings words.

Vergil: "Dreams are nothing to think about, they are illusions that keep one from their goal by making them weak"

Dante deadpanned at his brother.

Dante: "Then why the hell do I keep hearing you sleep talking about your dreams?"

Vergil: "I do not dream, when I close my eyes I train my mind in countless combat scenarios"

Dante: 'Press X to doubt'

Dante let out a small sigh and looked at Issei who was still in deep thought, the boy was still wearing the clothes that he had when he arrived in the Demon World. Sure, Dante could have given him something better to wear, preferably a clear pair of clothes but.... he doesnt have anything in the brown-haired boys size.

Dante: "Hey, Issei!"

Hearing the Devil hunter's voice caused Issei to snap out of his thoughts as he looked at him.

Issei: "Yeah, Dante?"

Dante: "You sure you are still up for training? You dont seem to be in the right mind there kid"

Issei was about to say something, but no words came out. Dante had a point, he has been worrying about that giant eyeball all morning and it was making him lose his fucking mind.

Maybe he should just stop worrying about the eyeball and focus on the start of his training, after all he could use it to find a way back to his world.

Issei: "No, I’m totally fine"

Dante: "You sure? You dont have to do th-"

Vergil: "Enough! If he didnt want power than he would have left already"

Dante: "Jeez, Vergil. I was just concerned about the kid"

Vergil looked at his brother.

Vergil: "When were you concerned about anyone, Dante"

Dante: -_- "Wow, that's rich coming from the dude who once again ripped off his own SONS arm"

Issei blinked once, twice, and a final time.

Issei: "Wait, what?"

Dante: "Long story. Vergil wanted more power so he ripped off his own kid’s arm"

Issei grew a face that literally said 'What the fuck' on it as he looked at Vergil.

Issei: "That's fucked up, I feel bad for the mother"

Dante: "Your not the only one k-"

Vergil: "Enough!"

Vergil sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. They haven’t started training and already they’re being a pain.
