While I wanted to hurry up and get the god killer 9000 on my hands right this moment I still had to make preparations. After all, haste makes waste. And god knows I would rather shove a jar up my ass than to waste the motherfucking Boosted Gear.


That thing was the key to my future, it was what would make or break everything. I was not going to mess it up.


So I went back to the church and checked everything over 3 times. Created some more condensed vitality before going to Issei's house. It was night already, and as I arrived in front of his house I gave myself a final moment to think.


Am I sure about this?


If I stop right now, the plot can continue without too much interruption. Issei will be his perverted but determined self and save the universe or something along those lines.


By taking the boosted gear here, I will be putting a stop to that. Which means if I take it here, I am ready to shoulder the responsibility that he shouldered.


If I take this, it will now be my job to fix everything that will go wrong, it won't be Issei who has to fight gods and whatever thingamajigs, it will be me.


Hah, bring it on.


A man's dream will never die.


Either I will exceed Issei, the original protagonist or I will damn sure die trying to.


There isn't much left to think. I walked up to the door, gathering moisture into a small ball of water that I fit into the door lock before freezing it and turning it, unlocking the door with a makeshift ice key.


"Huh? Who was that?"


Hearing their front door open the Hyodou couple got up from the living room couch to investigate, and seeing the strangely dressed young man Miki and Gorou were surprised.


"Wha-! Who-"


*Snap!*


"Mental Stun." I snapped my fingers in front of me as Miki and Gorou suddenly stood still with dazed expressions. This was a basic mind control spell that would make the target dazed and basically unconscious for up to half an hour. The target would also forget around a minute of memory before the spell.


Of course, it couldn't be used on anyone with above-average mana but it was a good beginner spell that was mandatory for any supernatural to know until they learn better mind control. I learned how to cast it just for this situation.


Yes, I did get a skill for mind magic too.

I will be honest, I am very, very interested in mind control magic. Call me a creep or whatever but having control over someone else's mind can be a very useful thing.
