<POV RYO>

After telling my answer to Sona's offer, now I'm walking towards the classroom.

'I missed lunch again' I thought as I rubbed my rumbling stomach.

"RYO-KUN!" Someone called me from behind when I turned around I saw Akeno rushing after me.

When the other boys see Akeno running like this I'm sure they must be short on blood from the nosebleeds.

'This sight is dangerous!' I also felt embarrassed for Akeno for seeing her chest shaking like that.

{AN :( ͡≖͜ʖ ͡≖)}

"Haah…haah...haah" Akeno stopped right in front of me and took a breath for a moment.

"Akeno are you okay?" I asked her who was still catching she breath from running.

"Ryo-kun...are you going to have a match with Sona's group this afternoon!?" Suddenly Akeno grabbed my collar and brought our faces closer even our lips almost touched.

I nervously answered she's question "Where did you hear that?" I'm also confused as to how Akeno knows that I have a match later with Sona's group.

"That's not important Ryo-kun! Just answer my previous question!" Akeno snapped.

'That's important to me! has someone been eavesdropping on me and Sona?' I thought, I got a little closer because my body isn't stable in this position because I'm taller than Akeno so when she grabbed my collar, I had to crouch down a bit.

I broke away first and answered while looking at her with my head slightly lowered since I'm taller than she.

"That's right...and as for Rias I haven't given her any answer yet" I answered.

"Then...do you have any preparations?" Asked Akeno which gave me goosebumps remembering when my grades dropped or I had problems, She helped me before Samuel and also because I remembered she was a sadistic person.

"Nnnn...No, I haven't thought about any preparations" My answer somehow made her excited.

"Then...we have a few hours before the match starts so let me teach you how to fight them!" Akeno volunteered to help me win against Sona's group.

I don't think it's necessary Akeno That's right, I don't need any preparation since I know the characteristics of every peerage Sona.

"Ryo-kun!...it's not like you fought those thugs! You fought supernatural beings whose physical strength was twice as strong as human bodybuilders! And magic, you can't fight like you beat up those thugs!" Akeno said in a low voice. That worried tone made me suspect why She actually went this far for me or else.

[Heh...don't worry miss! My partners won't lose even if they're outnumbered!] Ddraig shouts the idiot because his voice won't be heard by her unless I manifest the form of my Sacred Gear which is the Dragon Gauntlet.

"Haah...I understand your worry but Akeno, they won't kill me this is just sparring" I tried to quell her worries.

'I've felt it since I was in my first year, she always wanted to be close to me. Unexpected incidents happened to her, did she actually like me?' I thought suspiciously if it was true that Akeno liked me since when?

"Even so!…You haven't been able to summon a Sacred Gear yet have you?" Akeno asked, I just kept quiet because that was my answer.

"Then let's go! At least you can control your Sacred Gear even for a moment!" Akeno said as she grabbed my arm, I could only helplessly follow her.

...

We were now in an empty field behind the old school building as hardly anyone walked past other than members of the Occult Research Club this was the perfect place for their practice.

"So what should I do?" I asked Akeno who was fixing her hair for a moment.

"Ryo-kun already knows what kind of thing a Sacred Gear is?" Akeno turned to ask me.

In response, I nodded my head.

"Then I can only explain a little how Sacred Gears work!...You can create Sacred Gears by imagining something strong and Ryo-kun you can try it now!" Said Akeno who told me to imagine something strong.

In the canon to be able to realize Boost Gear Issei imagines even demonstrating Son Goku's signature moves from this world's version of the Dragon Ball anime.

But I didn't need to do that, imagining a powerful thing...'then how about a Nuclear Bomb!'

Instantly a green light appeared from my right hand that blinded Akeno and me simultaneously.

After it calmed down it was seen that I managed to make it happen but it was still in its early stages, the form of the Sacred Gear itself was like Twice Critical.

Akeno was shocked to see that my Sacred Gear did not live up to her expectations "This is weird, we are sure that it is a Longinus" Akeno said while feeling my Sacred Gear.

"Hmm... I don't know about that" I said pretend not to know.

Akeno then thought for a while "Maybe this is just a disguise! because past owners of Boost Gear died because of being hunted and died before being able to awaken the power of the Boost Gear" Akeno speculated.

[Tch...guess] Ddraig admitted that what Akeno said was the truth that was directly confirmed by the Crimson Dragon Emperor himself.

"So what should I do?" I asked Akeno who was still feeling the object that was attached to my hand.

"Mmm...it's okay I still believe that you are a Longinus carrier!" Said Akeno who looked at me with eyes of trust.

"And how do I wear this thing?" I also asked who touched the object.

Akeno then thought for a moment before continuing to speak "According to the book I read and asked my other kohai who have the same Sacred Gear...you just need to think about the power to activate the Sacred Gear" Akeno said which made me confused about her explanation.

And just to be sure I asked Ddraig directly 'Nee...is what Akeno said true?'

[Mmm...she's not wrong, it depends on the carrier's emotions whether it needs our strength or not if necessary we will actively respond to those feelings or emotions and give our bearer strength otherwise we will never be active]

Hearing the answer from Ddraig made me think about his words. 'Depends on the carrier's Feelings or Emotions' and suddenly the Boost Gear activates.

[BOOST!]

It gives off a green glow when active.

Having it activate suddenly made Akeno happy that I succeeded in such a short amount of time.

And for me of course happy because it worked even though earlier I was shocked by the sudden sound and the power that entered my body.
