"Get out of here!!!"
Looking at the Boosted Gear, which was still in its initial stage and hadn't been upgraded, Abel felt a bit helpless. It seemed that Issei, who hadn't experienced the Asia incident from the original story, hadn't grown yet and was still stuck in place.
But now was the best time.
Come on, Issei, for your dream of building a harem (of men)!
Issei stood in place, gathering strength, then clenched his fist and smashed it towards the pickup truck.
Bang!
The ideal was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Issei was sent flying out again. After rolling a few times, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He propped himself up, looking at Abel with resentful eyes.
Seeing Issei's expression, Abel blurted out, "What kind of look is that?"
This was essential training for beginners.
Issei was silenced by that one sentence.
"Can that look make you stronger? Can it make you protect your companions? Or can it make you achieve your dream?"
"Issei, tell me loudly, what is your dream?!"
Issei was left speechless by Abel's barrage of questions, but upon hearing the last words, his eyes cleared.
His dream...
What was his dream?
Issei murmured, "My dream…"
His eyes became unfocused.
Abel silently took out his phone and played what he had asked Gasper to say last night.
"Issei-senpai. You can do it."
Elsha looked at Abel in disbelief. She had seen all sorts of scenes but she had never seen this one.
Master… no one can outplay you.
Sometimes Abel felt like he wasn't human.
No, he wasn't human to begin with.
Then there was no problem.
Issei instantly snapped back to attention upon hearing Gasper's voice.
What was he being indecisive about?
Rias gave him a second life, he can't let her down.
Akeno took care of him.
And also…
Yuuto, Genshirou, and the adorable Gasper.
His dream was to build a harem! To gather all the handsome men in the world!
Thinking of this, Issei stood up. In an instant, he was back to full health.
Issei clenched his fists, and then his voice grew louder. "I want to protect my companions!"
"I want to clear the obstacles for President!"
Issei roared, "And my dream! My dream is to become a Harem King! To collect all the handsome men in the world!!!"
Immediately after, his gauntlet began to emit a green light.
"Boost! Boost! Boost!…"
As the voice of the gauntlet faded, it emitted a dazzling light.
At this moment, the gauntlet sublimated. What was originally just a gauntlet now covered Issei's entire arm, and its appearance had also changed.
Issei felt that the power within him had increased again.
He looked at Abel, then shouted loudly, "Abel! Come on, for President! For my companions, and even more so for my dream, whip me hard!!!"
At this moment, his eyes glowed.
Abel said, "Very good! Very spirited!"
"Issei, charge at my pickup truck!"
Saying that, Abel enchanted the pickup truck. There were many of these things, but with Abel's frugal nature, it was better to add more enchantments.
Issei's previous punch had dented it a little.
Thorns.
Solid.
Recovery.
...
"Elsha, go."
"Understood."
The roar of the engine echoed again. Then it charged towards Issei, who clenched his fists, his expression excited.
"Boost! Boost! Boost!"
"For everyone and for my dream!!!"
Issei used his right hand to charge up, then swung it at the truck, which Abel had enchanted with who knows how many layers of magic.
Bang!
At the moment of impact, Issei's eyes widened, and the next second, he was sent flying out again.
Flying in the air, Issei looked incredulously at Abel, who was sitting in the car and their eyes met.
Issei: The feeling before wasn't like this.
Abel: You're not mistaken.
Issei: Are you tricking me?
Abel: No. I can't bear to damage the truck.
Bang!
Issei fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Cough cough, that was a bit too much." Abel looked at Issei and laughed awkwardly.
Elsha rolled her eyes.
But this kind of life was much more interesting than before.
"I'll go call Asia and Valerie over. You stay here and guard him."
"Okay."
After saying that, Abel ran outside. Only the two Red Dragon Emperors remained in the entire training ground.
At this moment, Issei's gauntlet made a sound.
"Elsha!? You're revived!?"
"That's right, I was revived by Master, and it's been a long time, Ddraig." Elsha smiled as she looked at the gauntlet.
Ddraig, who had just been in slumber, was awakened by Issei's conviction and was still marveling.
It had only been a little over a month since the gauntlet awakened, and it was already fully upgraded. It seemed his current host was a genius.
It would certainly be interesting if Ddraig discovered that his host's sexual preferences were not widely accepted by society, and that he awakened so quickly because he wanted to collect handsome men from all over the world.
However, Elsha wasn't going to tell him. Instead, she would let Ddraig discover it slowly on his own. That would definitely be fun. This could also be considered a small revenge for the soul curse.
Afterward, Ddraig and Elsha began to reminisce like old friends.
After a while, Abel returned with Asia and Valerie.
"Asia, Valerie, I'm troubling you two."
"It's nothing."
The two shook their heads and walked towards Issei, who was lying on the ground.
Twilight Healing!
Sephiroth Graal!
One Sacred Gear and one Longinus activated simultaneously.
Issei felt as if he was wrapped in cotton. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and all the pain in his body had disappeared.
Issei moved around a bit and felt fine. But the next second, a devilish voice rang out.
"Issei, since you're well, let's continue."
"Huh!?"
"Elsha, go."
"Yes, Master."
The roar of the truck echoed again.
The following scene was not suitable for children.
Abel looked at Asia and Valerie and said, "You two just stay here and help Issei with his treatment."
"No problem, Abel."
"Okay, Abel-nii."
