After the morning's intense "workout" with Kuroka, Alex stood under the steaming spray of the shower, feeling the 50% synchronization of his power humming through his veins like a live wire.
[System Notice: Daily Reward Initiated...]
[System Notice: Congratulations Host! You have received: Ebony & Ivory!]
Two sleek, heavy semi-automatic pistols materialized in Alex's hands as he stepped out of the bath. One was finished in a dark, midnight black—Ebony—and the other in a brilliant, polished silver—Ivory.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Well, the "Dead God" must have been busy, but I'll take this. My babies are back! They aren't just guns; they're masterpieces of craftsmanship and death. Ebony for the heavy impact that can stagger a God, and Ivory for that rapid-fire precision that shreds through crowds.]
Alex spun the pistols on his fingers with a practiced, lethal grace.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Combined, they are the ultimate crowd control. I can juggle an enemy in the air with Ivory and then send them through a skyscraper with a shot from Ebony. Honestly, if Issei even breathes in Sona's direction today, I might just see if Ebony can take off his "little dragon" from a mile away.]
The "Safety" Check:
Issei Hyoudou: (Waking up in bed next to a snoring Malty) "Gwah! Why did I just feel a cold wind between my legs? I feel like I'm being targeted by a sniper!"Malty: (Groggily) "Go back to sleep, Issei... you're probably just dreaming of those Runcandel maids again."
The Legend of the Gun-Lover
Alex looked at the intricate engravings on the slides, a nostalgic smile softening his sharp features.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: I remember Enterprise. She was one of my most beautiful lovers, but once she got her hands on these guns, she refused to give them back. She looked so stunning dual-wielding them in the middle of a naval bombardment. I'm going to have to hide these very well when I finally reopen the dimension to Avalon, or she'll snatch them from my holsters before I can even say hello.]
The Audience Reaction:
Sona & Rias:'Enterprise? A naval lover? Does he have a wife in every branch of the military?!'Grayfia: (Looking at her own hands) 'I wonder if I could learn to use those... if it means getting closer to the Master's past.'Serafall:"Guns! They look so cool! Alex-chan, can I be your 'Gunner Girl' for a day? I promise I won't lose them like Enterprise-chan!"
Monday Morning: Departure
Alex holstered the twin pistols at the small of his back, concealing them perfectly beneath his designer school blazer. He checked his reflection—he looked like a high-tier noble, but he felt like a walking armory.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Ciel, keep the Gnosis energy suppressed. I want to walk through those school gates as a "Beginner" again. Let's see how many people fall for the trap today. And keep a lock on Raynare's location. I have an appointment with a Fallen Angel.]
Ciel:[Understood, Master. The "Babies" are loaded with mana-infused rounds. It's time to show Kuoh Academy that you don't need a sword to be the most dangerous man in the room.]
Alex walked out of the mansion, where Darius and Valeria were waiting to see him off. He hopped on his Ducati, the engine roaring like a dragon, and sped toward Kuoh Academy.
