Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 1

"Okay guys. Time to settle an argument. If you were to reincarnate in DxD, what race would you choose and why?"

Under a tree in the schoolyard, were five boys in black and red uniform. While four of them were sitting on the lush grass, the one who posed the question was standing. Holding his backpack in his right hand, he wore a black blazer with red outlines. A black tie was on his neck that matched well with his black pants and shoes. His hair was orange and spiked up. If not for his kind-looking face, one would mistake him for a delinquent.

Pointing his finger at one of his friends, his black eyes zoned in on the boy.

"You can start us of Jimmy boy!"

"Jeez, Ted. Fine then."

Jimmy was a bespectacled boy with a skinny appearance. Dressed like Ted, one wouldn't be wrong if they said the uniform was wearing him. With black hair arranged in a neat bowlcut, Jimmy closed his book before pushing up his glasses.

"I'd choose a dragon. They dominated the ancient times and have strong magic. In the same classification, a high-class dragon will absolutely punt a high-class devil. They have long lifespans which can be extended to immortality should they grow strong enough."

Leaning his head on his backpack, Jimmy gave a content smirk. Ted gave a thoughtful nod before dramatically waving his finger and pointing it at the boy next to Jimmy.

"Johnny boy! I choose...YOU! Tell us what race you would reincarnate as."

Like Jimmy, Johnny's hair was shaped into a bowlcut. But while Jimmy was thin, he was average in every way possible.

"I'll go with my brother Jimmy on this one. Dragons are disgustingly OP. I mean, have you seen Great Red? I'll become a dragon and then strengthen myself enough to reach his level."

Ted grinned before pointing at the next boy.

"What about you Matt?"

Matt was the tallest of the boys. Raising his aviator glasses to his forehead, he shrugged.

"I was thinking yokai before, you know? With all their senjutsu and stuff. But now, I'm on team dragon."

Ted released a sigh, clear disappointment in his eyes.

[Looks like I'll have to restart the selection procedure all over again.]

Turning to look at the last boy, Ted spoke.

"I'm guessing you're on team dragon too, Igor?"

Different from the rest, Igor had blonde hair tied in a short ponytail. Staring at Ted with cold, cerulean eyes, he scoffed.

"Don't look down on me Ted. I have thought this through. But before I give you answer, are you able to ask for wishes prior to reincarnation?"

A spark of life shown in Ted's eyes at Igor's enquiry, causing him to reply with enthusiasm.

"Of course blondy! Let's say you'll get...two wishes! Three is too standard and overused."

Igor paused for a few seconds in thought. His friends were looking at him with curiosity now, wanting to know what his answer would be.

Eventually, Igor finished thinking.

"Two wishes should be enough."

He sat up, grass and dirt clinging to the backpack that was used as a cushion. Balancing himself, Igor began listing with his fingers.

"First, I would want a hyperbolic time chamber like the one in dragon ball. The harsh conditions inside are essential to facilitate evolution. Second, if I cannot wish for an infinite lifespan, then I wish for my lifespan to freeze upon entering the time chamber. Are those two wishes acceptable, Ted?"
