4 Chapter 4: Magic & Doom

"Are you guys having fun?" Rias asked in a mocking tone.

"Yes," I replied with a smile.

I noticed her expression change when I answered. She glanced at Akeno, who was smiling while hugging my arm and resting her head on my shoulder.

"Sigh, next time, could you please cancel out the noise?" Rias sighed in defeat while opening the door.

"Of course," I replied politely, grateful that she asked me in a normal tone.

With that, Akeno, Rias, Koneko, and I headed to Kuoh Academy, where most of the story takes place. As we walked, Akeno whispered in my ear.

"Why didn't you go all the way?"

"Because it's too early for us to do that kind of thing. We haven't gone out on a date yet. I want to spend time with you without any lust involved. But when the time comes, I will gladly satisfy you, Akeno," I said as I held her hand and intertwined our fingers.

Akeno smiled upon hearing my response.

"You really are a charmer, Yuuto."

I simply smiled at her and continued our walk to school.

Now that I think about it, I haven't looked at my Balance Breaker ability yet. Supposedly, it's just an upgraded version of Sword Birth. Maybe it has a different ability now. I can test it later. But for now, let's enjoy the walk to school with my girlfriend.

...

Class 1-A, Kuoh Academy, Japan

When I arrived at the gate, I noticed the fangirls became heartbroken seeing me with Akeno, and the male students looked at me with hatred. It was fascinating to see the jealousy that came out from both the male and female students.

Wait, I'm stupid. Why didn't I use their jealousy and hatred to power myself up? I can just use their emotions to convert them into Demonic Energy.

Closing my eyes, I imagined the magic circle in my body that specifically targets the emotions directed at me and converts them into Demonic Energy.

Let's call it [Empathic Demonic Conversion].

This is nice and all, but the amount of Demonic Energy I got was very small.

"Sigh."

There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe I can upgrade the magic circle, but for now, class is starting.

...

"RING."

Finally, I can go eat.

Studying is getting easier, thanks to my newly created magic spell called [Enhanced Memory]. Thankfully, it doesn't have any blaring side effects that would affect me in battle, but it does induce headaches when activated for too long.

I left the classroom to search for food and on the way there, I saw the three musketeers, or the perverts, talking about AV in the middle of the hallway. These guys sure are shameless.

Fuck you, Odin, for making Issei like this. He should've been a proper Red Dragon Emperor, but you just had to destroy his life by making him a pervert and coward.

"Urgh."

The only reason this series started was because of that perverted old man who instilled his beliefs in Issei since he was a child.

No wonder in my past life, a lot of fucked-up shit happened in mythology.

As I arrived at the canteen, I saw a lot of people pushing each other to get the rare Yakisoba Bun. It reminded me of that one anime where the protagonist buys food for the heroine. Meh, I'll just buy a simple spicy ramen and go back to class.

....

It's kind of mid, I think I'll buy some ramen from the shop that sells on the side of the road. Usually, that kind of shop is the best at making food.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that I had only 10 minutes left before class started.

Hmm, I should create more spells for me to use in battle and out of battle because I have no way of knowing when my life is on the line. Let's head to class first while thinking about the type of spells that I can create.

As I walked back to class, I looked around for inspiration.

[Full Counter], [Cloning], [Absorption], [Flying Raijin], [Elemental Armor]... There are too many types of spells for me to create. Damn, how am I gonna manage that when I haven't even tried to create a Demonic Sword?

I only have one year before everything goes to hell. The sword can give the user the ability of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Fuck, why does my head become creative all of a sudden? Now, I don't even know which one I want to start with. There are too many options for me.

This is irritating. I have so many possibilities that I want to explore, but time is ticking. I need to choose which one I need later and which one I need the most.

Why is my new life far harder than my past life, even though I had a terrible life in the past?

How the hell did the Transmigrator or Reincarnator who became a Devil not know about the insane possibility to become insanely powerful?

Maybe because they already have a cheat, so they don't focus much on Demonic Energy. By the way, can't I just siphon the power from the Dimensional Gap?

If people from other verses can take power from another dimension, I can too with the help of my Demonic Sword creation and Demonic Energy.

For example, Doctor Doom...

I am crazy to take him as an example because of his absurdity, but I need that absurdity to survive in this world full of conceptual monsters.

Fuck it, I will do the impossible while the White Dragon Emperor walks through it. I will absorb it. I will become the sword that pierces Heaven and Hell.

Shit, that sounds corny as hell. I shouldn't say that.

Well, I'm still a teenager, but the fact that I'm still a kid with a huge responsibility. I cannot use this as an excuse to avoid the big problems that will be heading toward me.

I'm not Superman, I'm not Batman or Flash. I'm just a guy that transmigrated into a Devil's body with Sacred Gear. But I will survive in this fucked-up world.

"Kiba-senpai, are you okay? Why do you have that look? Everyone is scared of you," A voice interrupted my thoughts.

I looked around and saw nearby students trembling in fear. I had let out my aura by accident.

"Thanks, Koneko, for telling me," I smiled at her as I controlled my aura and rubbed her head.

"Hmm," she replied.

She is very cute. I wonder how cute she would be with cat ears and a tail.
