The Kitsune (High School DxD x OC)

Ch.6: Let The Games Begin

Raizo POV

The ten days have passed, and everyone's training was complete.

Now here's a summary of what everyone has learned or achieved.

Issei and Shirone's teamwork improved a lot. During our sparring sessions, then we're able to give me a proper 2v1, and would focus more on regrouping when separated. I also noticed a little plan they would form. Issei would act as a distraction for Shirone, while also boosting his own power. Meanwhile, Shirone would try and whittle me down as much as she could, so when Issei was ready, he could hit me with a powerful attack. Of course it never worked on me, but it was a good plan for when they face other, stronger, opponents.

Speaking of Issei. He managed to increase his maximum boosts from 15 to 18. Doesn't seem like much, but considering we only had 10 days, it's a good amount. His hand-to-hand has improved, and he was able to use his drogon shot abilitie more easily. He also did something really, REALLY stupid. He was talking to Ddraig one night, and asked him if there where any ways to increase his power faster. Ddraig told him that he could sacrifice parts of his body, and turn them into that of a dragon. And, without thinking, he gave Ddraig both of his arms.

How I found this out was due to Issei's sudden screaming in the middle of the night, which also alerted everyone in the house by the way. He described it as though his arms were being ripped apart and put back together. Probably because they were.

Anyways, his power did increase. His punches felt a lot heavier and faster, but now he has the problem of both his arms randomly turning into dragon arms. The only way to fix this, was to have Akeno "suck" the dragon energy out of his hand. Although I'm sure Issei didn't mind that one bit. Also one of the benefits he acquired through this exchange, was the ability to use balance breaker, but he can only use it for 10 seconds. I obviously told him to save it for the game, to which he agreed.

Now. On to Shirone. She's improved a lot since the start of camp. Training in martial arts with me, and using her Nekoshou abilities with her sister. She's become quite the powerhouse for Team Gremory. I'd go as far as to say she's the strongest member of the peerage right now. Now when I come to the martial arts I could teach her, I had to take into account her size. She's not tall, but she's not short either. Only a few inches shorter than Kuroka. Putting her at about 5'2. With that in mind, I figured she would be better at learning Muay Thai. Due to her size, she'd have to get in close to strike anyway. So knowing a style that revolves around close range striking is perfect for her.

And she was a natural. She was able to get the basics down in about 3 days. Her training with her sister was also improving. Her ability to use Senjutsu and Youjutsu is at a pretty good level. Not as good as her sisters, but good enough to handle Riser's peerage. She even learned how to produce the same poison mist as Kuroka, though it's not as potent.

As I've stated before, Shirone might just be the strongest member of the peerage right now. But, that can change in the future.

Now on to Kiba. His swordsmanship was decent at best, but now, he's improved quite rapidly. He's a fast learner, and he took to learning the techniques I showed him pretty well. I decided to teach him the old fighting styles of ancient demon slayers. Total Concentration. He struggled with the breathing for the first day, but he soon got the hang of it. With him using his breathing properly when he fights, he's able to gain the strength he needs to match his speed. I also taught him one of the many forms of breathing techniques. I took into account that his biggest asset was his speed, so what better form for him to learn than Thunder Breathing. Now, since we only had 10 days to train, I told him to just learn the first form. He was able to get it down, with the occasional fail, but he got the hang of it nonetheless. Now, when it came to how long he could keep the pattern of breathing. He could only do it for five minutes before his lungs would start to hurt. But, as long as he does it in short bursts, he should be able to last the whole match.
