章節 558: ‘Reality’

"Boy, do you want to get stronger?"

Kisuke's question startled Gasper. And not just that as a cold breeze that should be impossible went down his spine, "Y-you can make me stronger?" But despite the bad feeling he was getting, the dhampir was very interested.

From the start, Kisuke had always been interested in Gasper's Sacred Gear. Not just because it was a Time-based ability, but also because of the remnant soul of the powerful and malevolent being inside it. Curious about what it could do, Kisuke took the rare chance.

"That depends on you," replied Kisuke, "Do you want to?"

Kisuke's 'confident' smile gave Gasper hope, "Yes!" He answered as he wiped away his tears. However, although this is the mysterious 'Kisuke-senpai' that he heard had taught Issei, there was still skepticism within him so ask, "B-but even the Grigori couldn't do anything, can I really get stronger?"

Kisuke's grin grew bigger, "Of course~ Though unlike their kind approach, you'll have to suffer for a bit. If you're fine with that, we can even start now. But with the situation right now, you don't have much time to decide."

Gasper gritted his teeth and nodded, "Please!" If suffering for a bit can change the tide of the battle, then he'd gladly take it.

Asia, on the other hand, didn't know what to do and couldn't join in their conversation, so she just focused on healing those who're fighting right now.

Seeing the naive dhampir agree to it, Kisuke felt delighted, "Great~ But for it to work, you have to disable all of your magical defenses."

Gasper was confused. Although he had a passive magical defense, it's not strong at all. However, knowing that this was his chance, he nodded yet again and closed his eyes to disable everything. After a few seconds, he looked towards Kisuke again and answered, "It's done!"

"Good." Kisuke then put his hand over to his face and a magic circle appeared in between them. A few seconds later, the circle disappeared without anything happening and Kisuke stood up.

"D-did it fail?" asked Gasper.

But Kisuke shook his head, "Nope~ It's a success." He then suddenly disappeared in a flash but not after leaving some more words, "Give me a great show~"

"I-it's a success? But I don't feel anything different..." muttered Gasper.

However, before he could inspect any further, the flow of magic suddenly changed and Gasper looked towards the battlefield to see a large-scale summoning magic was completed by the Magicians.

From the large magic circle, two shadow-like and lanky humanoid figures emerged. Though they look strange, they don't feel threatening at all. Nevertheless, that perception soon changed as one of them suddenly disappeared from its spot and reappeared behind Xenovia, piercing her heart with its thin arm.

"...W-what?" muttered Gasper in astonishment.

"Xenovia!" shouted Irina and flew towards Xenovia who was already falling forward and coughing blood while looking at her own mangled heart on the ground.

"No!" Asia immediately used her remote healing to mend Xenovia's wound but at that time, Gasper noticed a shadow flashed past him and went beside him. However, the moment he looked at it, which was coincidentally in Asia's direction, he could only see Asia's detached head spinning in mid-air as her headless neck was spurting out blood, "...What?"

Despite the shouts of despair echoing around him, Gasper heard none of it and could only stare at Asia's lifeless eyes on the ground. It took some time for the events to register in Gasper's mind, "...No way... No... No..." he started muttering like a broken record, unable to break his stare.

"No... No... No. NonononoNoNoNONONONO... NO!!!!!!" All of a sudden, it all gushed out. Hate, despair and unbridled rage. As Gasper wailed to the sky, his negative emotions exploded.

Along with his cry of desperation, darkness started covering him and extended towards the humanoid monster, devouring it, "I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!!!" A ghastly voice emerged from the darkness.

The Magicians were shocked at his sudden transformation and tried to retreat but the darkness encroached on them, "Ahh!!! What's this!? My magic is being eaten!? I'm being eaten!?" One of them shouted.

Although they tried running away, Gasper's darkness was faster as it exploded in their direction, "I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU UNTIL NONE OF YOU ARE LEFT!!!" Instead of his former sweet voice, Gasper's voice was distorted beyond recognition. It's as if an ancient monster was speaking for him.

Everyone from the Occult Research Club and Student Council froze in their spots as the darkness chased and devoured the Magicians.

Seeing his sudden change, Asia asked Kisuke who came to her side after casting the strange magic on Gasper, "Kisuke-san... What did you do to him?" she asked in concern.

While watching Gasper massacre the Magicians, he replied, "He desperately wants power, however, he didn't have a reason to really attain it. All I did is show him the reality of the battlefield and the tragedy that may happen at any time."

Asia didn't fully understand what Kisuke meant, but she asked, "Is he going to be fine?"

"To be honest, this is more than I expected, however, it's still within the range of possibilities. Since I started it, I'm going to take responsibility for stopping it too, so you don't have to worry," answered Kisuke.

Asia sighed in relief as she trusted Kisuke. Although a few seconds later, she asked, "If you show me this 'reality', will I get strong too?"

Kisuke first looked at her before looking away, "No... Such a thing will only weaken you. Not your power, but your resolve. If you want my opinion then you shouldn't really have any business in this kind of thing. You're too kind... Far too kind. Though one could say that's also your greatest strength."

Kisuke then started walking away from her, "You don't have to change, nor you need to find something new to do. That kindness and innocence are what your group needed to get through many things. Though if you really want to improve yourself in a practical way, instead of seeking personal strength, you should find someone or something that could protect you anytime as you support your comrades from the back."

Asia put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes before muttering, "Thank you..."

Not minding her, Kisuke turned his attention towards the still frozen group, "Are you all seriously just standing there? This is your chance. Don't waste it."

Everyone woke up from their stupor. Though they wanted to ask many things from Kisuke, this was indeed their chance and with renewed vigor, counter-attacked.

"Geez... They're too green... How did they survive until this point? This is practically a miracle." muttered Kisuke in frustration, 'If the Hero Faction was a bit more unforgiving, they wouldn't be standing here right now. Though I didn't want it, I'll have to look out for them since their survival is indirectly linked to mom and the rest's safety.'

28th00: Ah, Gaspers Balance Breaker? It's got a super weeby name Forbidden Invade Balor the Beast and Shadow Beast Master of the Forbidden Night and True Darkness. It's pretty damn strong. Showing people 'reality' ain't the nicest thing to do to a guy, but it is a very violent and very effective 'wake up' call. They are too green though, definitely. They're missing chunks of their plot armour because Koneko and Sona aren't there also, Kisuke is working on repairing the holes though.

Goyya: Yep, due to Kisuke, they are weaker than their canon counterpart. However, it isn't his job to save the world so he'll have to start working on these holes.


章節 559: A Fan

Concluding that they wouldn't be able to continue their attack anymore due to Gasper slowly but surely culling their numbers, the remaining Magicians decided to retreat and escape through teleportation circles.

Everyone from the Occult Research Club and Student Council should have been able to sigh in relief after their enemies retreated, however, Gasper was still out for blood and searching for more Magicians.

At the same time, a strange teleportation circle appeared before a small Grim Reaper appeared from it, "Tsubaki-san! The Magicians started retreating so I returned here... Whoa! What's that!?"

The small Grim Reaper thought that the darkness was an enemy and readied her scythe.

"Bennia! Stop! That's Gasper!" Tsubaki shouted at her.

"What? The Dhampir? How?" asked the small Grim Reaper. It was also at that time that she noticed the new person, "...You are..."

Kisuke looked at her with a surprised expression and murmured, "A Grim Reaper? Now that's a surprising new character~"

However, before he could even greet her since she was looking right at him, the small Grim Reaper suddenly removed her skull mask and shouted at him, "B-Boss Hat!"

The small Grim Reaper had the appearance of a little girl with pale skin. She was a cute girl with long, dark purple hair and sleepy golden eyes. Her hair was tied in a long braid by a bow with a purple skull, reaching all the way down to her hips. Bennia also had 3 black markings on both her thighs while also having gold neon lines in its interior.

She wore a white skull mask in conjunction with her Grim Reaper clothing, which consisted of a light blue dress and a black and white hood resembling a jesters cap with an emerald gem at the tip. She also wore black elbow-length gloves covered in gold neon lines with gems at the back of her wrists.

"I've been called a lot of things in the past, but this the first time someone's called me 'Boss Hat'," Kisuke chuckled, "Nice to meet you, Grim Reaper-san. The name's Kisuke Urahara, not 'Boss Hat'."

As if not listening to him at all, the small Grim Reaper also introduced herself, "Nice to meet you, Boss Hat! I'm Bennia Orcus! I'm a fan! Please shake my hands! If possible, a signature too!"

'A fan, huh... How did I become a celebrity again?' Kisuke thought as he shook his head, "Now's not the time Bennia-san. See that?" pointed Kisuke at the darkness, "I've still got to deal with that."

With eyes filled with light and excitement, Bennia replied, "I see! Boss Hat is about to make his move again! Please go ahead and don't mind me!"

Kisuke's first impression of Bennia was that of a very upbeat and lively girl, much different from most of the cold Grim Reapers that he'd met before.

Thanks to him talking to Bennia, the rest of the students finally arrived around him and the first one to call out was Irina, "What happened to him, Kisuke?"

"He just lost himself for a moment. I'm going to bring him back," replied Kisuke as he approached the darkness that was still expanding in search of its prey.

The moment Kisuke approached him, the darkness also extended towards him, but instead of defending himself, Kisuke let the darkness wrap around his arm, 'Hmm... Breaking it into pieces before bringing it to another space, huh. If one doesn't have enough Magic or Ki, one won't be able to resist this. Though I wonder what it can do with the things it has 'eaten'.'

Shaking off the darkness, Kisuke dived and pierced through the darkness and brought out the rampaging dhampir, "I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!!!"

Kisuke didn't say anything and removed the hypnosis magic that he'd put on him and used healing Kidou to calm his raging soul and separate it from the influence of his Sacred Gear.

A few seconds later, Gasper settled down and the light within his eyes returned, "...W-what?"

"Good morning~. Did you enjoy that nightmare?" asked Kisuke with a grin.

"...Nightmare? What happened?" Gasper held his aching head and recalled what happened. When he was about to start rampaging again, he saw the rest of his comrades running towards him, including Asia and Xenovia in good health, "Asia-senpai...? Xenovia-senpai...?"

Kisuke let him down and Gasper started running towards them with tears gushing down on his pretty face, "Asia-senpai!!! Xenovia-senpai!!! You're alive!!!"

Asia and Xenovia were taken aback when Gasper came crying to them, but Asia recalled Kisuke's words from earlier and figured that he must have seen something terrible and comforted him, "It's alright... Everything is already fine."

"What's going on?" asked Xenovia to Asia but the latter only smiled at her.

Kisuke then looked towards a certain direction and muttered, "He's back."

A teleportation circle then appeared and Issei, in his Balance Breaker emerged from it, "Everyone! Are you alright!? Wait... Kisuke? You're here too?"

"Yup~. For now, let's all calm down and drink some tea in a nice room," Kisuke proposed.

Half an hour later, Kisuke heard everything from Issei, "In summary, you were in a meeting with this Mephisto Pheles for the Magician that can enter a contract with you and he also warned you about the circulating imitation of the Phoenix Tear's. Although it can heal, not as much as the original and those after its completion might target Ravel-san here."

"Yes." Issei nodded, "So I immediately made some arrangements to keep her safe since Rias, Yuuto and Azazel-sensei left for Romania to negotiate with the vampires. I just knew that if they wanted to attack, this would be a good time. I just didn't expect that they'd be targeting Gasper too."

"There's something I also need to report to the Underworld and Rias. The man who led the Magicians inside of Kuoh Town, Euclid Lucifuge... Claimed that he's Grayfia-san's younger brother."

The Devils were shocked at Issei's revelation and questioned him about it. However, Issei just shook his head and said that he wasn't even sure if that guy is really telling the truth. Though he admitted that he had an uncanny resemblance to Grayfia.

"Another point of concern is the Evil Dragon that was with him. Ddraig told me his name is Grendel, also known as the Crime Force Dragon. He's an aggressive, psychotic Dragon that is only interested in fighting and killing. He's a battle maniac who loves physical combat and destroying more than anything. However, Ddraig also pointed out that he was already slain long ago and shouldn't be roaming the world right now."

Only Tsubaki, Akeno, Rossweisse, and Kisuke got the implication within Issei's words, "I see... Someone or something was able to revive a long-dead Evil Dragon. Then it's safe to assume that there are also other Evil Dragons or some other beings revived to work for the Khaos Brigade." Kisuke made it clear to everyone and made them shudder.

Issei sighed, "I can't even defeat this Grendel... He had seemingly unlimited stamina. He and Euclid only retreated because Vali was apparently giving them some headaches in some other place." Issei then stood up and added, "I have to make a report to Sirzechs-sama first."

"Go on. I'll talk to you later." Kisuke nodded at him.

As Issei tried to leave the room, Ravel also followed him, "I'll come with you! I also need to contact my House."

"He sure has grown, huh," muttered Kisuke with a smile of satisfaction before turning his attention to everyone else, "Now then, since I've got some free time, let's go over and review your fight from earlier."

Kisuke was about to give them the lecture of their life.

28th00: On the plus side, it's nice to see Issei has grown so much and is actually getting the political ramifications of some of the stuff going on, including timely reports on paradigm shifts. Kisuke is gonna tear them apart while in Lecture Mode, but it's gonna be a massive plus since this guy is a veteran at training people, somewhat. They usually call it torture, but what do they know?! Boss Hat Bennia? Man, I can't remember but I think she was there when Kisuke went to beat up Hades. She's always a joy, loli reaper fangirl that she is. Sona ain't here to recruit her, but she's definitely hanging around cause she's a hardcore fangirl.
