章 56: NGJ Chapter 56: Training x Time
Normally if it were up to Rias we would be hiking up a mountain to get to this place. But I don't think some hiking would do anything to prepare you against a goddam Phenex so I had her scrap that idea and instead had her teleport us there.
From the entrance, I saw a GIANT lakeside mansion. I must have misremembered or did not care much when watching the anime but it was certainly huge. I kinda wanted a place like this now but that wasn't a priority right now.
I already gave precise orders to Mittelt to have her care for Asia and hopefully not burn my house to the ground while I was away or something.
Of course, I would return to my house at night to handle some business but that was for later. Now that everyone was gathered in place since Rias was trusting me with all of this as she let the reigns to me I clapped my hands and gathered everyone's attention.
"Alright everyone! Get settled in your rooms and meet me in the courtyard in 10 minutes, be fast." The members of her peerage looked at me strangely but once Rias urged them on they moved to their rooms I moved to the courtyard and waited for them and they arrived.
In front of me stood Akeno, Koneko, Kiba and Rias all wearing tracksuits except for Koneko who wore more revealing gym clothes. As for me? I wore my usual long-sleeved loose black shirt and white pants and sunglasses.
Before anyone said anything Akeno spoke first.
"Excuse Akira-kun why did you want us to gather here? Isn't Buchou(Club President in Japanese and Rias' nickname) supposed to decide these things?" Akeno questioned which was reasonable, they did not know me well after all. Rias also nodded as I did not really explain anything to anyone but she did not object.
"Well, that's because I am the one that's going to training you all for this week." Hearing my words Akeno's eyes widened.
"But Akira-kun, last time I remember weren't you barely able to match Kiba last time? Even if your are undead are strong, while I am not trying to doubt your capabilities can you truly help us train?" I will forgive her for her were words since they weren't meant to demean me and came from a place of genuine wonder.
"Right, but I have come a long way from back then, but I guess a demonstration is still in order." Under my control, my shadow stretched and grew to a large size before my entire army stepped out.
Their eyes widened as tens of Death Knights and Skeleton Demons stepped out of my shadow gate in militaristic order. They stood in formation behind me with Alpha and Wiz standing left and right of me, Wiz already knew army etiquette to a degree as she served in the demon lords' army before and knew to at least not embarrass either of us.
It made for quite an intimidating sight when over several dozen skeletons that were about as strong as low-end devils stared you down along with a Rook and Bishop stronger than your peerage members.

"Oh... Oh my~ you really have grown Akira-kun." Akeno said with some trepidation at the show of power but was still pleased with my development as a friend(?) of mine and a help to Rias.
"...Strong." Koneko released yet another one of the wacky and wild iconic one-liners she is known to make.
"Wow, you really have improved since last time Akira-kun I look forward to sparring again sometime." Said Kiba, the dude out of the bunch who did not care much for.
All the while Rias had a smile watching my undead. I imagine she is thinking that she is glad she put her trust in me. Once the others had spoken Rias went forward and asked.
"So, how do you plan to do this, Akira-sensei." I quirked one eyebrow at what she called me but I kept a serious demeanor regardless.
"Well, first I will spar with everyone to gauge your levels and then hopefully show you the way to best cover your weakness because, within a single week, we won't be able to make any meaningful change to your power levels." I spoke as I stared all of them down.
It was going to be a hard truth but they needed that truth right now.
"Frankly, right now you guys stand no chance against Riser and his peerage. It's 3 to 12, you would need to be massively stronger than his pieces to be able to pull it off. So I will instead make sure you guys have the best chance against them. I will whip you into shape in these weeks."
In that moment Akira's grin turned slightly sinister as all the peerage members of Rias felt shivers go down their spine. Because Akira had no intentions at all of taking this lightly. And he had a good reason to.

"Ara~ Ara~ are you really sure about this Akira-sensei? I can get a bit violent sometimes you know?" Akeno said as her eyes hungrily took in the sight of Akira stretching.
He decided to go with Akeno first, because already knew his way around mages and how to train a mage by Toji. Of course, Akira wasn't using an actual weapon but instead, a wooden shortsword they had in the mansion.
"Don't worry, that won't matter much, you won't even be able to land a hit on me anyway." Akira said with a challenging smirk.
"My my you sure are confident aren't you Akira-sensei? Then how about a bet? If I win I get to make you do whatever I want for one time of course I will also do whatever you want for one time if you win." Akeno almost preened when she saw Akira's hungry gaze wash over her it almost made her wet.
"Fine, if you win you get an unconditional favor." Akira challengingly smirked once more before they both got into position, a 100-meter distance stood between them. Akira saw no need to cast a curtain as Devil Magic could easily fix damage to the area.
But what Akeno had failed to calculate was that she had just challenged a sorcerer who had been trained by the SORCERER KILLER himself.
Akira had less than zero intention of taking this easy, this was to defeat Akeno and find her blind spots. And to get back at her for daring to underestimate him.
The skeleton by the sidelines threw a flag into the air and the moment it hit the ground both of them moved, Akeno opened her wings and flew into the air and moved back to gain distance, a good idea, as she did that she also constructed her favourite thunder magic circle.
At the same time, Akira stood still and activated both Enhancement at maximum level and Dash lv. 74. As he stood still for an additional second or two Akeno's circle had finished and she pointed the circle up at the sky before a bolt of thunder struck down where Akira stood.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
Like a missile strike, the thunderbolt tore apart a large chunk of land, even without fully charging it was a force to be reckoned with. But her eyes widened moments after. In the aftermath of the thunderbolt, a large cloud of dust was kicked up.
Not only that, the moment the bolt struck Akira's energy signature dulled and completely blended in with the mana released from the magic. Panicking slightly Akeno constructed another magic circle of lightning and prepared to strike again.
Suddenly something came out of the cloud of dust and quickly shot toward her, Akeno responded quickly enough by raising the magic circle and releasing a wave of lightning toward it.
But.
Akeno's eyes widened again. Because what she had struck with her lightning wasn't Akira at all, he had thrown his wood short sword toward her to bait the attack out. And Akeno had fallen for it.
At the same moment, Akira sprinted like a cheetah out of the dust cloud under the distraction of the short sword he had sent hurdling. Maintaining Enhancement, Dash and Chameleon at the same time using Parallel Thought Processing.
With his speed nearing Kiba's Akira quickly reached below Akeno before doing a mighty leap like a superhero while Akeno's next spell was being made.
Bringing out his second wooden knife from his back pocket Akira had reached behind Akeno at the same height and wrapped his free hand around her neck while legs wrapped around her legs as his wooden knife pressed against her neck.
Akira whispered in her ear in a hushed voice "I win."

Akeno's breathing grew heavier as she struggled to hold her composure.
'Oh no, this is bad, my panties may have gone through a bit of a crisis.'
