(Y/n) POV
"Come on, put your back into it" I said while Issei hauled his huge backpack while I laid on the top
"You know you can help me?" he said struggling to walk
"I could, but I'm not going to" I said fanning my face. Kiba went past him with a equally large bag and just to add insult to injury, Koneko had a bag twice as big and she held it up like it was nothing, one of the benefits of being a rook. Rias, Akeno and Asia were waiting for us up ahead and I jumped off and said to Issei
"You can put the bag down now" and he dropped it with a loud thud
"Now, you'll be pulling me the rest of the way" I said getting a cart out and Issei was about to protest but I put something around his waist to pull it
"I'm not doing this" he said when I sat in it
"Yes you are"
"Not, I'm not"
"Well, if your going to be like that" and I pulled out a whip Akeno lent me
"Mush" I said spinning it
"Who gave him a whip!" Issei said now pulling me
"Thanks for the whip" I said to Akeno as I rode by
"Your welcome (Y/n), if you need anything else, just ask" and I kept whipping to make him go faster. Once we got there he stopped and was breathing heavily
"Were here" he said between breaths
"Were not done yet, do 20 laps" I said and he groaned and started running, of course when he slowed down I whipped at him and we got done pretty quickly. When we got back out front Issei dropped down breathing very heavily and completely exhausted
"Better perk yourself up, you and Asia are going to learn magic from Akeno" I said getting out of my cart
"But *huff* I c-*huff*can't" and I pulled out a candy bar
"Here, eat this" and he picked it up
"Snickers charged?"
"Yeah, they don't make them any more, only have one though, having more may have some unwanted side effects" and he pealed off the wrapper and ate it. In about five seconds he was back to normal
"Where did you get those" Issei said and I turned to go inside
"I have my ways" and I went inside where everyone else was waiting for us. Akeno took Issei and Asia off to do magic stuff while I went to my room and put my stuff away
"So, what is your assessment of him?" I heard Rias ask while she stood in the doorway
"He's got potential, I'll give him that, lot's of it" I said and Rias nodded
"I feel there's a but coming"
"there is, he's just not ready for it yet, if he tried to go balance breaker for longer than a few seconds he would die"
"Is that why you made run that much?" and I nodded in response
"You can't have magical strength without physical strength, but that part is not up to me" and Rias went over to the window and looked out at Koneko and Kiba practicing
"Do you think we can win?" she asked me while I shrugged
"Rias, I'm not going to sugar coat anything, you have got one hell of an uphill climb here, and it is not going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination but that's why your brother sent me, to hopefully give that pervert a fighting chance" I said sitting down and Rias sighed
"I know, and I thank him and you for doing that" and she turned back around
"So, what are some of the side effect's of that candy bar you gave him?"
"Well, one time I ate two, and I spent the next 2 hours speed walking up and down the palace just to get the edge off of it and by the end of it I felt like I got hit by a bus" and Rias laughed at me
"So, you never told me about your sacred gear, what is it?" and I put my finger up to my mouth
"It's a secret" and she went over to my door
"One that I hope to learn one day, come down in an hour, dinner will be ready by then" and she left out my room
"You can't hide it from everyone" I heard a voice say
"Yeah, I know" I said as my hand glowed purple
"If that kid put as much energy into training as he does in trying to touch females breasts he could probably go toe to toe with us by now" the voice said again and I chuckled at that
"Your not wrong Revenant". Revenant, the Black Dragon, like Issei I have a dragon inside me, unlike him, I've lived with Revenant for almost a few years now and I've been working with it and I can go into my balance breaker at will, while the red dragon emperor would have to be put under enormous stress. I shut my eyes to get some sleep before I go train the red dragon emperor again. Apparently I slept longer than I intended and when I woke up it was night time
"Damn it, overslept" I said getting up. everyone else must have been asleep by now so I decided to go get some fresh air. I went out to the gazebo and sat on the bench while the full moon gave a ghostly glow to everything
"I now your there Rias" I said and she sat down next to me
"So, why are you out and about?" she asked me and I sighed
"Get some fresh air, you?"
"I could say the same thing, but that would be a lie" and she looked up at the moon
"I don't know how were going to win, they outnumber us more than two to one, 6 to their 16, that's almost a three to one advantage" she said and I chuckled
"What's funny?" "Rias, your not one to back down from a challenge, I have faith that you'll win, and when you do" and I got up and turned to go back into the building
"Kick Phenex's ass for me"
