DXD: Reign of Supreme King (Up For Adoption.)

"Ahhhhhh!" Gasper screamed as he ran around the backyard of the academy.

The reason that the young vampire hybrid was running is that Xenovia was currently following him around with Durandal in hand, forcing him to continue running in circles.

"So," Yugo - who was standing at the side with his brothers along with Issei, Asia, and Koneko - said with a sweatdrop. "What is she doing?"

"If I recall, she said something about a healthy body and a healthy mind," Yuri replied as he watched the scene in front of him with a sadistic smile. Unlike the others, who were concerned, he found it nothing short of comical. "Basically, she's trying to force Gasper into shape believing it will get him to control his Sacred Gear."

"While I do agree that he needs some physical training, this is a little... Extreme," Yuto commented with a concerned look. He was all for training, but he can tell that they should definitely take it easy with the young Bishop since he didn't appear like he did much of any physical activity.

"Alright, Xenovia, knock it off!" Yugo decided he had enough seeing Gasper run for his life like that. "Whatever the hell you're doing isn't helping him."

"What do you mean?" Xenovia asked with honest curiosity as she stopped running, which gave Gasper the chance to fall on his knees and start catching his breath. "We were tasked with training him and there's no better training than desperately fighting for survival," the way she said this made it sound like there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The Clearwing dragon groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know you're trying to help, but scaring the kid half-dead doesn't really help anyone," he tried to explain.

"Koneko seems to have the same idea," at Xenovia's statement, Yugo looked confused until he looked at where Gasper was supposed to be.

He barely could believe his eyes. Gasper was running again, but this time it was from Koneko who was chasing him with some garlic in her hand. "Nooooo! Please keep it awaaaaay!" the young Bishop yelled.

"Oh, for the love of..." Yugo stopped as he couldn't help but facepalm before turning to his brothers. "Is this what Lord Haou feels like when he deals with us?" he asked.

Yuya looked away with an embarrassed look. "I really don't want to say this... But I think we caused Lord Haou far more trouble than this," he confessed which caused his brothers to share the same look of embarrassment as he has.

"Koneko, stop that!" Yuto cried out, thinking that Gasper already had enough running from Xenovia.

"He needs to train. He's too pathetic," was Koneko's blunt reply as she continued following Gasper.

Yuri snickered at the reply. "I thought Akeno was the sadistic one," he commented, still finding the situation amusing.

"Alright, stop that, seriously," Yuya stepped between Koneko and Gasper. "I don't think we're helping Gasper at all. The only thing we're teaching him is to be scared," he explained.

Gasper took the chance to stop at a nearby tree and lean on it for support, panting and covered in sweat. "How is this *pant* supposed to help *pant* my Sacred Gear?"

"It's not, I think Koneko just wanted to bully you," Yuto replied as he started walking closer to Gasper. "Listen," he instructed as he narrowed his eyes. "When it comes to Sacred Gears, physical training will barely cover half of what you need. A Sacred Gear requires also a strong will, so you need to start getting stronger mentally as well," he instructed.

However, Gasper got the wrong idea and immediately hid behind the tree. "S-Scary!" he cried out, shivering in his place.

A metaphorical arrow seemingly pierced Yuto as this was the second time Gasper has called him that. "H-Hey! I'm not scary!" he yelled out, but that had the opposite effect as the young Bishop only seemed to hide further.
