~~~Day 1 of Training~~~
As Issei stumbled out of bed and got dressed when he opened the door the person on the other side was quite surprised.
"Oh, Issei your already awake." Asia was started as she was about to open the door and wake him up.
He let out a massive yawn then gave Asia a hug. "I'm awake I don't want to but I am." He told her as she moved out of the doorway. "Do you have everything packed for ten days?"
"Yes." She answered as they went downstairs.
"Well, that good and if we are actually going to train then we should probably head out. We can eat later." He told her as they were walking through the house issei went to the door as he was going to leave.
"Are we not going to teleport there?" She asked as they came home via teleportation.
"Nah it's a small walk plus we got time to kill." He told Asia as they proceeded to leave the house to head to school.
After a short walk, Issei and Asia came to the club room and when they walked in they saw Rias Kiba and Koneko. "Good to see the two of you." Rias said, "Once Akeno finishes up we will head out to the training grounds." They took a seat on the couch while they waited for her to return.
After five minutes Akeno came into the room. "Rias the paperwork has been delivered and we have been excused from classes for the time." She said not noticing that Issei and Asia had arrived. "Oh, I see everybody is here."
"Yes everybody is here." She walked over to the open floor and created a magic circle. "Everybody grab your stuff and let's head out." They gathered their bags and teleported away.
When they came out of the teleport there was a wall of trees on their left and a vast plains of grass on their right. The only thing that separated the two was a dirt road the lead on fire miles. Finally, rias spoke "Issei Asia your bags please." Asia handed her bag over but Issei was skeptical.
"Normally the man carries the bags, not the other way around." He told her while still holding his bag.
"Just give it to me." She said while holding out her hand.
"Well if you insist." He handed it over not liking the situation.
As he gave it to her she threw both of the bags into her magic circle and out came out a large bag with more than enough stuff on it to camp out in the wilderness for multiple weeks. "You will be carrying our bags and some other things." Rias told him as she gestured to him to pick it up.
Issei went to grab the straps on the bag and while it was heavier than it looked he was able to pick it up with ease. Rias then spoke after he strapped the bag to his back, " You need strength training, so you will be carrying this as we make our trek up the road." Issei raised his right eyebrow while she was speaking. "It's 10 miles to the house and it should take us about two hours."
"Sounds simple enough." He said while thinking that they were in for a trip later today.
"Alright everybody let's head out." Rias said as she thought she was beginning Issei training.
About two hours later they made it to the top of the hill and saw the house but in reality, it was a mini-mansion. Asia was a bit tired from the walk while Rias was slightly struck as Issei had shown no fatigue after the walk. They proceded into the mansion and set their belongings down. "I must say that was fun." Issei said, "I hope you didn't think that something like that would be hard for me.
"You didn't display to much power beforehand so I figured you were on the weaker side." Rias said while Akeno gave a nod of agreement as well.
"I see no worries but I did go out last night and get us a training partner. Anyways where will we be sleeping for the rest of our time here?" He asked.
Rias motioned them to follow her and they walked into a hall full of doors. "Girls of the Left, Kiba on the right side."
"Uh so am I also on the right side or do I have to sleep on the couch?" Issei asked as he noticed it was only Kiba on the right.
"Door at the end, you're with me." She said making Asia jealous of that. "Pick a room and get changed into gym clothes we start after lunch" Everybody separated and picked to sleep in and ten minutes later they were in the kitchen making lunch.
~~~After Lunch~~~
Everybody was outside ready to go then rias chimed in "So when is this trainer going to be here?"
Issei was looking down at his hand and replied. " Soon, in the meantime let's see how powerful you all are. We all know Asia isn't the type to be useful in direct combat however the rest of us are fighters or spell slingers to some sort."
"So what's your plan then?" Kiba asked not knowing how any of this was going.
"Glad you asked 1v1 fights vs me to start off I want to see where you all are. You may do whatever you deem necessary to take me down. And since you asked Kiba your first." Issei began to walk away from the group taking a position in the field away from everybody. Kiba took a position across from Issei and asked " How do you want to do this?"
"I know your sacred gear can make swords but do you have a bokken?" Issei asked while Kiba was surprised.
A magic circle appeared in Kiba's hand and out came a wooden sword. "I must say I am quite surprised you know what that is." Kiba said, " I am ready whenever you are."
Issei had a smile on his face, "Oh, by all means, you may have the first go." As Issei finished Kiba had disappeared in a flash, nothing was heard. The onlookers could see his movements yet Asia was lost for her he just vanished. They saw Kiba making a wide turn to attack Issei on his side. Little did they know Issei saw the same thing. As Kiba finished his high-speed turn he increased his speed never more to make a side attack striking Issei in the ribs.
Issei, on the other hand, saw this attack as right before it lept backward and with his right hand, he swatted Kiba's hand causing the wood sword to fly into the ground while Kiba continued on in a straight direction. When Kiba came to a stop he looked back and saw Issei pulling the wooden sword out from the ground. "I must you are faster than I expected." Issei examined the sword he saw many cracks in the wood as it would crack even if was swung at a high speed. He gripped the sword causing it to break and summoned a small metal hilt. "You will have to try much harder than that if you are to defeat me." He gripped the hilt and swung it down as he did a blade unfolded from it and summoned the boosted gear. "Draw your blade."
Kiba obliged him and summoned a sword that he had used against freed. When he had a sword in hand Issei charged at Kiba causing him to immediately got into a defensive stance. They were in a blade lock trying to overpower each other while Issei was winning due to pure strength there was a fatal flaw Kiba saw and exploited it. Issei blade was cracking and they both saw it. Kiba put more power into his struggle snapping the blade however when he did Issei struck him with his left hand causing Kiba to drop his sword and fall on the ground. " That's enough." Issei said. "I've seen enough from you." He swapped the hilt to his right hand and help Kiba up. As they walked back to the group Issei picked up the other half of the blade.
When they got back to the group Issei prepared a magic circle and laid the hilt and the remaining blade. He then summoned a pen and paper and jotted down how the blade broke and sent the items away. Rias then spoke, " Your skilled with a blade and as fast as Kiba what else are you good at." Issei stood up after sent the sword away, "Nope sorry I am far from skilled with a blade. Ares and Athena tried to drill sword arts into me but hand to hand combat is easier for me. I think it's part of the perks of the sacred gear im also horrible with magic outside of a couple things." He then looked at Kiba " Your speed is impressive and your blade arts is beyond anything I could ever hope to have, however you have the same downside every knight has. And sadly it looks like it's worse than it should be."
"Defence" Kiba said as he knew now what Issei was looking for.
"Yah your a bit on the squishy side need to build up taking attacks. While the role of the Knight is to be high speed if you take even a single hit your going to be in a lot of pain, or in the case of a rating game you may be eliminated from the match." Kiba looked down after taking that blow however Issei cheered him up "Don't worry about it to much be proud of yourself you broke one of Hephaestus creations. I just got that sword last night as well."
Kiba however, was now starstruck after Issei finished speaking. "I-I broke a weapon made by a god?" Issei gave him a nod
"Excuse me but who is Hephaestus?" Asia asked as it was not a name she had heard of before.
"Oh, right you not versed in other mythos. Hephaestus is-" Issei was about to finish but Rias spoke. "The Greek God of the forge and other things. Many sword wielders of Underworld have requested weaponry from him yet none have been made." as she finished Issei gave her a small clap "Well look at you. I take it you have done some homework?" Issei asked her "He also makes jewelry and you can bet many women have requested work from him there as well."
"Anyways Koneko your next same thing as Kiba." They both walked out into the field and took a position. Koneko charged at Issei with moderate speed and then let a flurry of punches at him. Issei was able to dodge her attacks as they were well under the speed of Kiba. However, she saw an opening after a dodge and sent a right hook into Issei ribs, As it made contact Issel swung at her but her hit caused his punch to narrowly avoid her and ripped her shirt and exposing her bra. "Thanks for the view." Issei received a left hook to the face at lightning speed. When it connected her fist bounced back off his face yet there was a red mark there. "Well, that's good enough." As they started to walk back issei stuck his finger under her bra strap that was hanging down on her arm and pulled it up back to her shoulder.
When they got back to the group Issei spoke up again. "Well, you and Kiba are polar opposites. He lacks the durability of a rook and can't take to many hits while you lack the speed of a knight and cant hit fast enough." Koneko knew she had downsides but all she gave was a nod "Pervert" Issei shrugged off her comment, "Yes yes nothing new you're not the first girl to call me that it comes via blood. Ironically you moved the fastest when I exposed your bra I wonder if you would have moved faster had I tried to cop a feel." As he finished she threw a punch at him but he caught it with his right hand. "About that fast, I'm guessing." He said however Akeno gathered some electricity in her finger and when he released Koneko fist she gave him a shock.
Everybody laughed at Issei as he was electrocuted. "Anyways I have no real way of measuring the rest of you." as Akeno was about to say something Issei spoke up again. "Yes, I know what your thinking just shoot more lightning at me. But without hitting you physically I can't test anything. However, our trainer can and she's here."
As Issei made his pink magic circle Rias asked a question. "Is the trainer someone you trust?"
Issei looked back at the group "Ehhhhhhh It's complicated." He turned back and focused on the magic circle while the asked him "What do you mean it's complicated."As the circle materialized the first object came out and the group saw a white horse with a woman sitting on the horse. The woman got off the horse and the group saw long flowing blue hair yet it was far from vibrant. Sporting a navy blue pair of pants and color matched blue shirt. She stroked the mane of the horse with its perfect white hair then she walked over to the group.
"Is all you wear is blue? No wait let me guess your underwear is blue as well." Issei asked as everybody except Asia were able to sense her power yet did not know who she was.
"It seems you attract Crimson, so are you no better?" she glanced over the group then looked back at Issei "They don't know do they?"
"From their reactions to your power that's a big no, I never told them who you are." Asia interrupted them while looking extremely confused and asked "Is something wrong because I don't feel anything from her."
Everybody looked at her in amazement as they could feel raw power dripping of the woman. "Are you sure you don't feel anything from her?" Akeno asked as Asia shook her head.
"So who exactly are you?" Rias asked the woman.
She smiled and proclaimed her name. "I am Tiamat the Chaos Karma Dragon."
"I see what you mean by it's complicated." Akeno said.
Tiamat looked at Issei with a face that even she didn't want to talk about it. "So you told them."
"A maid kinda forced me." He said while walking to the horse.
"A maid? Oh, you mean the mate of Lucifer."
Issei summoned a carrot and started to wave it in front of the horse before he fed it to her. "Before we go any further, Issei is that what I think it is?" Rias asked pointed to the horse.
"Huh... Her?" He pointed at the horse. "This is Rel and she….." as he said that a pair of wings appeared from above her front legs "She is my pegasus." The wings retracted back into her body.
"Is this why you didn't get a familiar in the forest?" Rias asked him
"No, we were unlucky with the forest. Even if I made her into my familiar she would never deliver papers. She to lazy for that the only thing she wants to do is be fed groomed and be touched, by other women."
"Other women?" Akeno asked.
"Hermes and I are the only men who can touch her anybody else get bitten. Ares got bit and so did Zeus, but if you girls wanna touch or ride her she will be fine with it but that's for something later." He walked away from Rel as she flew up into the air and teleported away "Anyways Kiba the Knight has low defense and Koneko the Rook has low speed you know the basics."
"I see and the other three?" Tiamat asked while beginning to formulate a plan.
"Don't know. Anyways got a plan?" He asked her.
"I do, nothing crazy for today. But it looks you all need basic training in a hard condensed form." Tiamat pulled out badges out of her pocket. " Everybody come get one and put it on your clothes." They all went to grab a badge a put on and when they were all on she waved her and the badged lit up.
"What do these badges do?" Rias asked as they lit up.
"Because you only have ten days to train we need to speed up your basic fitness. Right now the badges are calculating how much you can take." Tiamat finished with a sadistic smile.
"Oh fuck." Issei said and as they did everybody fell down to their knees.
"Gravity is a bitch." They all stood up slowed adjusting to the weight their bodies were under. "Each of you is under different gravity settings based on what your basic power is like." She went over to each person starting with Akeno. "Interesting 2.2x Gremory is 2.3x" Rias got a smile out of that as she was above her queen. "1.2x I take it as you don't fight." Asia shook her head as Tiamat moved on to Koneko "3x not bad I'm going to guess the raw power of the rook is aiding you however." Finally, she moved to Kiba "3.5x color me surprised."
"Can't you're blue." Issei told her.
"Shut up. Anyways I saw you have a track over there so you are going to run laps. Under the effects of this gravity magic, you will increase your basic fitness by a minimum of a factor of 2 in less than ten days. You will run 10 laps and that will be the end of your training for the day. After these 10 laps dinner and a hot tub will sound like the best thing you ever heard of."
They walked over to the track and began to run while Tiamat sat down to watch them run laps. She saw how the knight was able to cope with the weight but it still was slowing him down. The rook was slower than expected but still moving along while the King and Queen were keeping pace with each other after completing two laps. While under the lowest amount of pressure she was the slowest of the group. She thought to herself 'Is it for the best that I didn't tell them that he was under 5x? I wonder how much he has kept from them.'
An hour passed as they were at the end of their run and they were tired. As each one finished she deactivated the badge letting them return to their normal states along with a bottle of water. First Kiba finished followed by Issei then Koneko Rias Akeno and finally Asia. As they were taking time to readjust to normal gravity Tiamat spoke "I told you that hot tub will be amazing."
They all agreed as they had never worked so hard before, muscles have now worked harder and harder then they could have ever thought they would have. " We devils have enhanced durability but I never knew how far it could go." Rias said
Tiamat got a small chuckle from that. " You may have some enhanced durability but you are far from a dragon. Go make dinner and after then I will meet you in the hot tub. I have to prepare some things for tomorrow as I know more about how to train your skills." As they got up and walked to the house she teleported away to begin preparing for tomorrow. "Food…" Issei said as Koneko looked at him with an agreement as they all went inside to prepare dinner.
True to her world after dinner Tiamat returned back to the mansion. As she came back the group had already moved into the split springs. However, she had something else on her mind as she entered the men's room. When she entered she saw Issei standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist as he was about to get into the springs. But before he entered the water he noticed something was wrong, he was now slung over Tiamat shoulder and she was leaving the men's room. "Oi what's up with that, I was about to relax in the springs." Issei yelled at her while flailing around trying to get loose.
"Nothing much we're going to have some fun." She said as she walked into the ladies room. "I'm back ladies." The all looked and saw Tiamat along with Issei in her arms.
"Issei what are you doing here?" Asia asked with a blush
"Oh you know abducted from the men's room." He said as he waved to everybody.
"Here" Tiamat lifted him up and threw him in the water however she held onto something quite important. Issei went sailing through the air naked as the day he was born. When he landed in the water he noticed not only did he not have a towel around his waist he was at the far end of the room. The only thing between him and the door was five naked girls in springs.
"I see where this is going." He sat down in the crystal clear water and didn't even bother to attempt to cover himself up.
"Oh my, I see the cock is in the henhouse." Akeno said while eyeing his body along with lower half. As Rias moved over to him to sit next to his right side.
"Well, the imagination needs to flow somehow." He said while putting his arm around Rias.
"Disgusting thoughts are prohibited" Koneko glared at Issei.
Tiamat came into the spring and sat down on the left side of Issei. "This is quite a nice spring you have here. For humans or in your case devils it's perfect it's on the colder side for us dragons but still relaxing."
"Thank you." Rias said "The one near our home in the underworld is what everybody wants to get into. However, this one is a very acceptable replica. About tomorrow will we be doing more running?"
"No, I will have some constructs that with prey on your weakness and they will be your training partners." She got some looks of a question as they didn't know exactly what she was going to do. "Think of it like this they will force you to understand what your weakness is and will force you to adapt to overcome it." She eyed two of the girls knowing they were hiding something.
After a couple of minutes of silence, Tiamat summoned a small device. Out of that device came a picture of a woman wearing a black and red dress. She had long brown hair matching brown eyes while the dress emphasized her features. Tiamat passed the photo around to the girls showing off the girl. When it came around to Issei and Rias she held the photo looking at it and spoke up "She is cute but who is she?"
"It's better off you don't know. Where ever she is trouble follows her around and it's usually another goddess." Issei said as he was looking down into the water.
"So you know this girl Issei?" Akeno asked him
"Yep."
"You're not going to tell them are you?" Tiamat asked him while giving him a nudge.
"Nope I don't like to talk about that, It's weird." He said still looking down.
Tiamat sighed "Fine" She looked at the rest of the girls. "That girl is known as Isumi and she only comes out when an Alchemy crazy goddess like to experiment."
"That girl is me." Issei said while all the girls went wide-eyed.
"What!" Rias and Akeno screamed while Asia was still confused.
"I hate talking about this. Frejya decided to work on a potion that temporarily changes genders and I was her test subject. She asked for my help one night but it was a trap and she gave me her potion and I fell asleep. I woke up the next day as the girl in that photo and before I could even figure out what happened she is drooling over the outcome." Issei was extremely uncomfortable speaking about what happened.
"Did dress up all the way and have fun?" Akeno asked with a smile on her face.
"Are asking if a perverted 14-year-old boy who just got changed into a girl explored? What do you think." He looked at her as she knew what transpired. "Anyways Tiamat why did you even bring that up?"
"Honestly I wanted to see how truthful you would be. And I know you haven't been completely truthful about us.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked her.
"What you remember and what actually happened are two different things." She said while Issei looked on
"So are you saying that nothing went as it did?" He asked her while giving her the stink eye. The girls all looked on as they were left out.
"Some of what you remember happened. I wanted to talk to Ddraig and as his host, you get dragged along. I did torture you not as much as you think you remember but Ddraig talked real quick so it didn't go very far, and we did have sex." She said shocking everyone while Issei stood up and was now pissed.
"Bullshit you're saying that my memories were altered." He was pissed to find out everything he remembered of that time was now false.
Tiamat pointed at his left hand "Ddriag show him."
The boosted gear appeared on Issei arm [Very well but to put those memories back requires him to be asleep.]
"That is a simple problem that can be dealt with." She waved her hand in front of him casting a spell to put him to sleep. When he was hit by the spell he immediately fell asleep causing his body to go limp and fall over to crash into that water. Luckily for him, he was caught by Tiamat as she brought him over and sat him down next to her. She looked at the rest of the girls "Since he told you what he thought happened but I will tell you the history between him and myself."
"About 15 years ago I received a box. I had not ordered anything yet outside of my cave was a box, so I brought it inside and opened it I found something I never thought I would ever see again. Inside of it was three jewels and not just any jewels they were the same jewels that Ddriag asked to borrow but never returned when he went to fight Albion near the end of the devil war. Whoever returned them to me wished to remain anonymous and I was fine with that. Three more years went on and then I was delivered a letter by the God Hermes. I was requested to go to Olympus as Zeus wished to speak to me as this was a time before the Greek pantheon and the Devils made a peace treaty." As she told the story the girls were intrigued in her tale.
"At first I was going to ignore the summons but I had nothing better to do. So I made my way to Olympus and when I spoke to Zeus he wanted to give me an Item. Turns out they had recently found all the parts of a bracelet however it was in pieces. It took a while but we were able to put the puzzle back together and confirm that it was one of mine. When Zeus got confirmation that it was mine he offered to have it remade by Hephaestus and I accepted it." She paused for a moment and summoned the bracelet. It was sold gold with intricate etchings into it of a dragon with slots for the gems.
"Hephaestus remade it to an exact and I was surprised. I knew he had talents but I did not expect it to be that perfect. About 10 years ago I was on a job as the arbiter of a rating game match between Ruval Phenex and Tannin and during the match, I felt Ddraig energy coming from the VIP boxes. I wasn't able to get too much information about it but I now knew Ddraig had a new host and I let it go by. However 2 years after that game I was once again summoned to Olympus but this time I was given back a coin. Now I was suspicious about all of what was happening."
"Issei told us about his time at that match." Asia told her.
"I see, after some time tracking him down I did eventually find him in the outskirts of Olympus. When I did find him I took him back to my cave and decided that I wanted to get some information out of him about why Zeus was giving me back some items that Ddraig borrow. Issei was after a while I found out he was totally clueless to what Zeus did. Eventually, I got Ddraig to speak he was most likely asleep was my best guess for the day. But when I did speak to him he also said he had no clue that Zeus was looking for my treasures. With that settled we had dinner and I took care of his light injuries. He slept till around 4 pm the next day and when he did wake up he happened to see me in my dragon form waiting for him to wake up. While waiting I had called Aphrodite and told her I had him and nothing was going to happen to him. When he and I talked about other thing pertaining to dragons and talked about them. Eventually, we got to the marking system and how it worked. He tried to bite me but in my dragon form, a single scale was harder than all of his bones and teeth combined. After that failed he activated his mothers magic without knowing and was able to use it on me. While it wasn't as potent as he can use it now but when you on mating cycle and now extremely aroused it does a number on you as you might have figured out." As she looked over to Rias she blushed to an extreme and shook her head.
"Count yourself lucky he hasn't used it then. Anyways I cut him a deal I would give him what he wanted IF he promised me to continue to retrieve my treasure. Naturally, he agreed so I marked him as an Insurance policy and we had sex. The problem was he wanted to keep going and going to the point where it was three days later during the time I tried to shut off his magic yet whatever I did nothing worked. After those days a handful of the leaders showed up while we were still having sex. Aphrodite had to cast a spell to shut off his magic and then I had to explain what happened and Yes it was awkward."
"So how did he come up with a different story?" Akeno asked as she finished.
"After I was cleared of what happened we thought it was best to change his memories. We fabricated a story that would work and Ddriag got to work implanting that story. Problem is the human mind is a complicated thing, for the most part, he accepted the story as what happened but it decided to twist things. His mind made the questioning into full-blown torture, he doesn't even remember us talking about other things. And the worst part is that it made him scared of attachments." As she said that Rias eyes lit up remember something.
"He never lied to you it's just things went wrong. And I have to ask you, girls, to fix him." Tiamat looked at them.
"That explains why a tear came out after he had sex." Rias said while looking at issei sleeping
"So what can we do for him." Asia asked
She looked around to each of the girls "If you have feelings for him then just be with him he is not going to reject a girl. If not he does his best to work through other peoples issues."
As she was talking she saw Koneko pointing "Pervert hands."
Tiamat looked down at his hands and saw them near both her and Rias butts. "I guess Ddraig is working hard." She started to laugh "Anyways I think we should get out of here we been in here for quite a while." As she got out of the water a blue magic circle and went up her body drying both her and Issei off and dressing them. "What room is he staying in?"
"Down the hall make a right door all the way at the end." Rias said as they were all getting out the water
"Very well, I will see you tomorrow." As she was leaving she saw the bra's folded up of all the girls "Oh before I leave one more thing. Those lace bras are nice but for tomorrow you will need something more supportive otherwise you will be in some pain." She walked out of the door and closed it behind her.
~~~Day 2~~~
As morning came Issei woke up however he felt a weight on him. He looked over to see red hair draped all over a naked body that was holding onto him like a hug pillow. He wanted to get out of bed however he tried to move her arms off of him but as he found that it was futile as her grip was solid. She was not budging and poor Issei was her hug pillow till she woke up. Issei, however, had to get out of bed so he decided that a hands-on approach was needed.
Issei slowly slid his right hand down her back. The contact of her warm skin and his cold hand could be felt as she twitched when contact was made. He slid his hand further down to right above her butt. He moved his left hand to her breast and started rubbing it. As he was playing with her breast he felt her nipple getting hard and once he touched it he heard a voice "Having fun?" Rias asked him as she caught him red handed.
"Yes quite a bit of fun as well, however, I need you to let go of me. I kinda need to deal with the morning drain." Issei was looking at while still playing with her.
"Very well." She said as she let go of him and rolled onto her back. While looking at the ceiling she looked over and saw Issei rush off to the bathroom. She rolled over to get and got out of bed and started to get dressed.
Once Issei came out of the bathroom he saw rias wearing something not exactly expected. Lace in origin yet not a normal bra. He walked over to her and was looking at the red and black lace sports bra and looked at her "A regular one wasn't good enough?
Rias continued to get to get dressed "I have others but I just grabbed one and this was the one." Issei started to get dressed as Rias finished getting dressed she was watching him getting dressed. As he was getting dressed Rias spoke "So what do you have to say about last night?"
"Her and I will have to talk in private later as I am conflicted about some things." Issei continued to get dressed and as he finished they walked out and saw everybody else in the kitchen starting breakfast.
After breakfast, the group set outside for another day of Training, however, there was something missing. They noticed that Tiamat was not yet here wondering what was going on Kiba asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "Issei do you know where Lady Tiamat is?"
Everyone looked at him for an answer "After last night no. I'll give her a call." he created a communication circle waiting for Tiamat to answer yet to no avail she didn't respond. He looked at the group and just shrugged. However, as his shoulders came down an arm came around him and pulled him back into the person. Issei looked up to see none other than Tiamat. "You don't call you don't write." He gave her some snark as he stepped away from her.
"I would have been here earlier but sometimes others have to go one for longer than they have to." She created some space between the group and summoned a golem. As they saw the golem it started to change first it became slimmer then it reversed course 180 and became fat and spikey. "The three of you physical fighters will be training with the golem. It will adapt to your combat styles and already knows your basic weakness. It will punish you and the golem will break you and you must push beyond your limits to defeat the golem." As she summoned two more golems the three of them went there separate ways to train.
After they left Tiamat looked at the remaining girls and Rias spoke up "What about us?" Tiamat knew these three were the worst for her to train. "Well besides some more running under the gravity you two are going to need to teach blondie here magic. She has potential but I can't teach devil magic as for the obvious reasons. If she was like Issei I could teach her fire but that's not the case." She threw the badges from yesterday on the girls "2.64x for Akeno 2.76x for Gremory and 1.44x for Asia as you still need to teach her 7 laps and come on in." The girls scurried off to complete their laps all so they could teach Asia magic after they were done.
After eight days of grueling training the last night before the game came upon them, everybody knew their bodies were weak and they knew their limitations. Kiba had gained the ability to take hits from stronger foes however there was still a limit. Koneko, while she didn't gain the speed that was expected of she, did acquire a more precise striking ability. Rias and Akeno both gained stamina and durability but not as much durability as hoped for. While Asia was the real breadwinner her overall fitness was increased and she had learned defensive spells as that is what her nature allowed her to conjure.
Tiamat looked at them "Well this is my last night with you and I am surprised. You came just where I expected. As you know tomorrow night is your big game so you will develop your strategy for the game and rest." She saw the improvements were there but knew there was still an uphill battle in the rating game.
"Before you leave I have one more question," Rias asked while Tiamat gestured as she would allow it. "You listed out all of our problems but you never once said what Issei's is so what is it."
Tiamat and Issei both spoke at the same time "Stamina" This caught everybody off.
Issei spoke up "My stamina has always been garbage when it comes to fighting. When it comes to the bed, however…" he trailed off not finishing it.
"Anyways my job here is done. I wish you luck in your conquests." As Tiamat began to walk away from them a large set of blue wings came out from her back. The wings flapped down causing a huge gust of wind and she took to the skies.
