Lexie: You sure we got everything?

You and Lexie were currently in your checking if you have everything for the training camp.

Y/n: Yup. Everything's here.

Lexie: Tooth brush?

Y/n: Check.

Lexie: Deodorant?

Y/n: Yup.

Lexie: Extra pair of clothes? just in case.

Y/n: Check.

Lexie: Did you make sure you but--

Y/n: Yes! Mom! I got everything. Jeez.

Lexie sighs.

Lexie: Did you tell your mom where we're going?

Y/n: She's still asleep so I just left a note in the living room. Now that I think about it, I never really introduced you two have I?

Lexie: No, you didn't. But we don't have time for introductions.

Y/n: Yeah, you got that right.

You and Lexie both put your bags on your back and walked out of your room.

You both headed downstairs.

Y/n: I hope we can get Issei ready for the Rating Game.

Lexie: It's gonna be difficult, but we got ten days to train. But I think you should train yourself.

Y/n: Why?

Lexie hits the top of your head.

Y/n: Ow! What was that for?!

Lexie: Think, Y/n. You're strong everyone knows that. But do you think you're stronger than Riser. He's a noble devil and you're just a human.

Y/n: You got a point.

Lexie: You will not get really strong within ten days, but it's enough for you to get a little stronger.

You looked at your hand in thought.

Y/n:(Thoughts) If only I could use fire. Damnit!

You closed hand making a fist.

Y/n: We should get going. Rias and the others are waiting for us.

Lexie nodded. You both walked to the door and exited your house, Lexie closed the door behind you.

Y/n: It'll take about 20 minutes to get to the ORC, 12 if we run.

Lexie: Why run? When we can fly.

Y/n: Huh?

Lexie wings came out and grabbed the back of backpack lifting you up in the air.

Y/n: What if someone sees us?

Lexie: Don't worry, I'll fly high into the air so no one spots us.

Y/n: Okay.

With that Lexie flew up higher and higher, you looked down and saw everything from above. You looked around in awe.

Y/n: Wow. I haven't been up this high in a long time.

Lexie: You can fly?

You shook your head.

Y/n: No. My dad will let me ride on his back and he'd flew me around, I missed doing something like that.

You closed your eyes and felt the wind hit your face. It felt relaxing.

Y/n:(Thoughts) I wish I had more time with you, Leonidas.

Lexie: We're almost there.

You looked down and could barely see the ORC building.

Lexie: I'm taking us down!

Lexie slowly descended down to the ORC. You looked around the area first before you two could go even further down, when the coast was clear both of you landed right in front of the ORC.

Lexie: Where is everyone?

Y/n: Inside. I can smell them.

Lexie: We should go inside.

Y/n: You can.

Lexie: Your not coming in?

You shook your head.

Y/n: You can tell them I'm outside, I'm gonna do some push ups while I wait.

Lexie shrugs and enters the ORC.

You dropped your bag on the ground and did some stretches. After doing stretches you dropped to the ground and placed both your hands on the ground and started doing push ups.

You keep doing them until you felt an unexpected weight on your back making you nearly fall to the ground. You looked back and saw Akeno on your back.

Akeno: Awww. Is the ride over?

Y/n: What are you doing?

Akeno: Riding on your back of course.

You just shrugged and continued to do push ups with Akeno on your back.

Akeno: I got a question.

Y/n: Shoot.

Akeno: Why are you helping us? I mean we're devils, this isn't your problem to deal with.

Y/n: You guys are my friends. Of course I'll help you the best I can.

Akeno giggles.

Akeno: I knew you were gonna say that.

Y/n: I bet you did.

You continued with your push ups. After a few minutes everyone came out of the ORC. Everyone was wearing appropriate hiking clothes.

Y/n: It's about time. Akeno, can you get off now?

Akeno: Awww, I was just enjoying this.

Akeno got off of you, you stood up and stretched your arms.

Y/n: Alright. So we teleporting there or walking?

Rias: It's better that we walk there, we are training.

You nodded.

Y/n: Sounds good to me.

Rias: We got bags carrying essentials such as clothing and food. Issei, Kiba and Koneko. I would like for you to carry these bags.

In front of you were three bags. The first one was a little bigger than your bag, the second one was double in that size, and the third was 4 times the size of your bag.

Rias: Issei, you're carrying that one.

Rias points to the smaller bag.

Rias: Kiba, you take the bag next to Issei and Koneko you take the large one.

Issei: Awww man...

Issei sighed. He walked over to the backpack and lifted the straps over his shoulders with difficulty.

Issei: What the hell is in this thing?

Rias: Clothes and bathroom essentials. And some added weight.

Y/n: Good idea.

Issei: Y/n, buddy. What would it take for you to carry this for me?

Y/n: Nope your on your own for this one.

Issei: That's not fair!

Kiba grabbed his back and lifted it onto his shoulders, Koneko did the same. Rias, Akeno and Asia all grabbed their back as well.

Rias: Alright, we're all ready to go.

Y/n: Lead the way Miss Gremory.

Rias nods and leads the way out of the school grounds.

(Timeskip)

You were following Rias through a path that led into a forest. The sun was out with few little clouds in the sky.

You were walking beside Issei making sure he doesn't collapse. Rias, Akeno, Asia and Lexie were in front of the group. Kiba and Koneko were behind you and Issei.

Kiba decided to walk beside you.

Kiba: So, Y/n. I got a question to ask you.

You brought your attention to Kiba.

Y/n: Sure what's up?

Kiba: What kind of training have you been through to get where your at right now.

The girls in front overheard the question as they become curious as well. Koneko picked up her speed and was right beside Kiba.

You begun thinking back on the training Leonidas made you go through.

Y/n: My father Leonidas, made me go through vigorous training exercises.

Kiba: Like?

Y/n: Shattering a boulder with my bare hands, carrying a boulder on my back and sitting underneath a waterfall.

Issei: What was that like? I mean, sitting underneath a waterfall.

Y/n: Well it hurt for one. It felt like a thousand hands were slapping my back. Not to mention it was very cold. And don't get me started on the boulder.

Issei: Why a boulder?

Y/n: Resistance training. It's not weighted clothing, but it does the job. I had to walk around with it, eat with it and run with it. Then when Leonidas told me to take it off and to my surprise, I felt so light. My speed increased and so did my strength.

Issei: Dude, just thinking about carrying a boulder on my back makes my back ache.

Y/n: It's not a big boulder, just small enough to carry on my back.

Kiba: So, do you still keep doing that training regimen?

Y/n: No, I stopped training for a while.

You rubbed the back of head.

Y/n: Every since Leonidas disappeared, I kinda just lost interest in training. I do some exercise here and there just to keep my physique. Honestly if I kept training, I could more powerful than I am now.

Kiba: And here you are getting back into it.

Y/n: Now that I think about it, I remember Leonidas saying that I have latent potential. Whatever that means.

Issei started to pant heavily and slowed down his speed. He fell back behind the group.

Issei: Dude... this is so heavy.

You looked back at him.

Y/n: C'mon Issei. Keep going.

(Timeskip)

Continuing on through the forest while still following Rias. You all eventually come out from the other side and continued up a slope, rocky hill.

Rias, Akeno, Asia and Lexie had walked up ahead on the hill and stopped beside a bamboo water pipe. Rias was the first to take a drink, followed by Lexie, Asia, then Akeno.

Rias turned to see you all still walking up the hill.

Rias: We're almost there!

You were walking beside Issei as he's panting and sweating.

Y/n: We're almost there guys! Last push!

You shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

Kiba picked up the pace and walked past you and Issei.

Kiba: On your right.

Issei: Seriously?! Did they give you a bag of feathers or something?

Koneko doing the same, walked past you and Issei carrying her large bag.

Koneko: Move it.

Issei notices Koneko passes you two, he falls on his back. He quickly gets up on his knees.

Issei: I hate this!

Y/n: Issei, get up. A day hasn't even passed and your here on the ground crying around. Man up.

You put your hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes.

Y/n: Listen Issei, the purpose of this training camp is to build up everyone's strength. You have potential to become stronger than what your already are. And I'm counting on you to beat Riser and win the Rating Game. I have faith in you man, you can do it. Don't give up now.

Issei: Okay... I can do it.

Y/n: That's the spirit. Now let's go, everyone's waiting for us.

Issei: Right.

Issei who was now determined, started to make his way up the slowly. You stood there watching him slowly walk up the hill with a smile on your face. You decided to continue to walk as well.

Issei finally made up the hill. He was panting heavily, sweat from his face was dripping off from his chin. Issei had his eyes closed while leaning forward. Issei straightened himself and stood upright straight, be begun to fall backwards.

You were already behind him, you quickly put your hand on Issei backpack from behind and caught him.

Y/n: Gotcha.

Issei: Thanks... man.

Y/n: Last push. Come on.

Issei: It's... hard.

Y/n: I know, Issei, but wait till you see the results. After we're done with training, you'll be stronger than before.

Issei: If you say so. You make it sound so simple.

Y/n: It never is. You gotta work for it.

I walked to his side.

Y/n: C'mon. Let's get up there.

Issei: Y-Yeah, let's go.

You could see the determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath and continued up the hill.

You watched him walk up the hill. You decided to stay behind him, just in case he falls backwards again. You noticed that Rias was staring at you with a smile on her face. You smiled back at her.

Issei finally made it to the top and was panting loudly.

Rias: Here you go Y/n.

Rias hands you a water bottle. You accepted it and started to chug it down.

After a short rest, you all continued on the path.

After another short rest walk, a white building started to come into view through some tree's. The building Rias was talking about comes into view.

Everyone stopped and stared at the building.

Asia: Wow, it's so beautiful.

Y/n: It sure is. Not a bad place for training, plenty of space in the area.

Rias: All right, you guys. Let's head inside and get going on this training!

Rias started to walk forward.

Issei: But we just got here! That's evil and nowhere even close to fair!

Rias turned around and looked at Issei.

Rias: Why, thank you.

Rias then lead you all inside the building. You stood in awe of how beautiful the place was. Everyone set their bag onto the ground.

Y/n: Are we getting separate rooms? Or are we all just gonna sleep in the same room?

Rias: Yes. Me and Akeno in one room, Koneko and Asia in another. And you boys all sleeping in one room.

Y/n:(Monotone) Yay. I get to sleep with the pervert.

Issei: Hey!

Y/n: Hold on. Lexie where are you gonna sleep?

Lexie: With you obviously.

Y/n: Oh. Okay.

After that arrangement, You, Kiba and Issei went to your room. Upon entering the room, you see three beds already made for each of you.

With one leap you jumped from the entrance of the door all the way to one of the beds in the room.

Kiba: Well, that bed is claimed. Which one you want Issei?

Issei: Probably the one next to the wall.

Kiba nodded and went to the only bed available for him. He puts his bag on top of his bed and begun taking clothes out of it. Issei did the same over at his bed. You continued to lay on your bed with your hands behind your head. You closed your eyes and relaxed.

You can hear both Kiba and Issei taking their clothes out of their bags. You decided to do the same. You sat up and grabbed your bag from the ground. You pulled out a shirt with a pair of tracksuit pants.

The three of you were just finishing up with changing. Kiba was packing the shirts he took out, back into his bag.

Issei: Kiba, I have a question. Y'know when you said... that stuff about hating fallen angels? You never really explained what happened to make you feel that way, and I've kinda been wondering.

You looked at them confused. You tilted your head to the side.

Kiba: Are you seriously asking me about that right now? It shouldn't matter... all that matters is winning this Rating Game... we need to focus our energy on the present not worry about the past... Okay?

Issei: You're right! Let's do this!

Y/n: Someone's fired up.

After changing You, Issei and Kiba left your room and headed to the main lobby. Upon arriving you see all the girls changed into their own clothes. You approached them.

Y/n: You guy's ready?

Lexie: Yup. We were just waiting for you guys.

Akeno: All set.

Koneko nods.

Risa: Issei and Asia will take priority due to them being less experienced.

Issei: Make sense.

Rias: Kiba, you will train with Issei out on the grass field beside the pond. Then Koneko will spar with him after. Then Akeno will go over magic control with both Issei and Asia.

You said nothing the entire time. Rias turns her attention to you.

Rias: What's your training plan for everyone?

You placed your finger underneath your chin while looking at everyone.

Y/n: I guess I can take Kiba after he's done with Issei. After that I'll take Issei so we can work on his power control.

Issei: C-Cool.

Y/n: When Issei and Asia go with Akeno for their magic control, I'll take Koneko with me out in the woods for some sparing.

Koneko nodded.

Y/n: And I was thinking...

You looked over at Rias and Akeno.

Y/n: We can have a little sparing match.

They looked at you surprised. Akeno giggles.

Akeno: So, you want to fight us both?

Y/n: If you can hit me once, we'll declare you two the winner. How about that?

Rias: I see. We could use some practice.

Y/n: Sounds like a plan.

Rias: With that out of the way. Let's head out and spectate Issei and Kiba.

You nodded.

Everyone made their way over to the grass field. Kiba had two wooden swords with him. He handed Issei one of them and begun their training. You stood right next to the girls with your arms crossed.

Kiba: Lesson one.

Issei: Yup. Bring it blondie bear.

Issei charged at Kiba with the sword held in the air.

Kiba blocked his attacks with his sword.

Kiba: You're a little off. Don't limit your focus to just the sword. Keep an eye on your opponent!

Issei goes for another attack, but Kiba quickly whacked the sword out of his hands disarming him.

Issei looked at Kiba with a dumb look on his face.

Issei: I meant to do that.

Kiba: Come on, you gotta focus!

Kiba hit Issei on the top with the wooden sword.

Issei: Owwww!

(Timeskip)

Issei was done with his training with Kiba. He stood to the side with the girls holding his head in pain.

You stood a little ways from Kiba.

Kiba: Now that I think about it, this will be the first time we ever fought.

You stretched your arms.

Y/n: You ready?

Kiba: Sure thing.

He got into a stance. You took notice of his wooden sword.

Y/n: How about you use your sword.

Kiba looked at you surprised.

Kiba: You sure?

Y/n: Yup. And I'll give you the same offer as I did with Rias and Akeno. If you can cut me one time we'll call you the victor.

Kiba: If you say so.

Kiba threw the wooden sword aside and summoned his sword at his waist and drew it. He had a serious expression on his face.

Kiba:(Thoughts) I know he's incredibly strong... but how fast is he? Time to find out.

You stood there with your hands in your pockets.

Y/n: Ready when you are.

Kiba leaned forward. With a battle cry he dashes towards with incredible speed. Kiba appeared in front of going for a slash, but it turned out to be a faint as he quickly spins around you and tries to slash your back.

You quickly ducked down to the ground surprising him. You smirked and quickly spun around and sweeped his legs knocking him down on his back.

Y/n: Nice try.

Kiba quickly got him. He got back into another stance. Feeling cocky, you took one of your hands out of your pocket and gestured for Kiba to come at you.

Kiba charges you again. He appears in front and tries to slash at your chest, you quickly caught his sword with your hand surprising him.

Issei looked at you wide eyed.

Issei: What the shit!

Everyone else was surprised as well.

Kiba quickly summoned another sword with his right hand and quickly tries to slash you. Acting quickly you caught his sword with your left hand. You smirked at Kiba.

Y/n: You surprised me Kiba, I didn't know you could do that.

Kiba: Your impressive Y/n, you easily caught my swords. I haven't seen anyone do that before. I knew you were strong, but I can't help but feel that your way faster.

Y/n: Despite knowing I'm faster, you still try to land a strike on me. Shall we continue?

Kiba: Let's.

You let go of Kiba swords and let him back up. Kiba once more charges at you. You keep training with Kiba until he had enough.

(Timeskip)

Kiba was sitting on the grass. Trying to catch his breath.

Y/n: You did a good job. You definitely worked up a sweat.

You chuckled.

Kiba: You're in a different league from me, I couldn't even land a single hit on you. You didn't even break a sweat.

You walked over towards Kiba and held out your hand to him. He grabs your hand and you pulled him up.

Y/n: I'm guessing you'd want to head inside and rest up a bit.

Kiba: Yeah, I'm gonna need it.

Y/n: Alright, I won't stop you.

Kiba nods and makes his way over to the estate.

You walked over to the girls. You looked around trying to find Issei but can't find him in the area.

Y/n: Where's Issei?

Rias: Him and Koneko went into the forest to train for a bit.

Rias points to the forest. You sniffed the air and caught Issei and Koneko scent.
