SHOUTING WHAT EXERCISE I'M DOING IN MY DYING WILL MODE!!!

AND DOING THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT'S DINNER TIME IN MY DYING WILL MODE!!!

KYŌKUGEN!!!

...That is what I've been doing after my spar with Hyōdō and helping her understand the power of her [Boosted Gear]. I have to admit, it's a really intimating power and I'm nit going to mess with any wielder of this power, unless that person tries to harm anyone precious to me.

Back to my training, I had exhaust myself not only physical but my [MP] as well to the near point of collapsing but I pushed until I made it back to the mansion when it was dinner time, completely covered in sweat from head to toe. I have never done this in my previous life, as I was too much of a lazy ass to exercise properly.

*growl!*

...That was my stomach just now, as I moved towards the dining room. I sit down between Asia and Hyōdō. Everyone else is sitting around the table as the food is handed out, we all start eating.

"...You don't look so good, Senpai." Tōjō commented quietly with slight worry in her voice.

"Yeah." Hyōdō said as well with a concern expression on her face "You look like you went through hell."

"...I'll live." I said before shoving down some more rice in my throat. Damn! This is some seriously good rice! Or maybe it just I'm hungry that made the food more delicious? Well, I'm just ignore that for now and continue eating. After noticing that my bowl of rice is empty, I held it out towards Himejima-san "More please."

Himejima-san nodded before taking my bowl of rice before filling it up "Ara ara. We still have more food left so eat as much as you want." She spoke to everyone while smiling.

I swallowed one last mouthful of food before setting my cutlery down "This is absolutely amazing. My compliments to the chefs!"

"Ara ara, if I had known you were so hungry I would have made more." Himejima-san teased "Perhaps I should begin get started right away."

"Don't tempt me woman."

"Ufufu, or else what will you do?"

"I'll marry you." I muttered under my breath and I mean it. she's so good at cooking that I wouldn't mind marrying her! ...I'll just have to get use to her crazy and creepy antics in the long run if I have too.

"Ufufu, you are embarrassing me."

"Did you like the soup, Raiga-san!" Asia asked as she leaned forward "I'm not so good as Akeno-san, but I did my best!"

"Uh, yeah. It was pretty good." Where is this coming from?

"It is!? T-then please have more! I... Can also... Marry..." ...Huh? What did she say? I didn't catch what she said. Hm... I guess it isn't that important, if she mumbled it that is.

"Now, Ichigo. From today's training what have you found out?"

"...I am the weakest among us."

"Yes, that's certainly true." Like that, she immediately made Hyōdō feel upset, if that look on her face is any indication.

"Akeno, Yumi, and Koneko have lots of battle experience even though they have not participated in the game, so they can fight if they get used to it. But you basically don't have any experience yet. Even so, your [Boosted Gear] is something that can't be ignored. I want you to have at least the power to run away from the enemy."

"N-no way! I won't run away!" I was surprised at Hyōdō's sudden outburst and the others are the same way, no doubt... I didn't expect her to react this way, where did this confidence came from? "I'll never run away! Not after Kōjiro helped me discover my [Boosted Gear]! I-If I ran away, all of our efforts will go to waste!"

I have to admit, I felt a bit touched that she saw the train that I gave her as worthy.

Gremory gained a thoughtful expression on her face before explaining the other name of running away and explaining why its important. I just blocked out her words, as I didn't needed to for I already know about a tactical retreat.

"Let's take a bath after the meal. It's an outdoor bath so it's wonderful."

I scratched my head. An outdoor bath, huh? I turned to the Kiba "Are they nice?" I've... Never been to an outdoor bath... I've always bathed in my own home as I didn't live in Japan in my previous life.

Kiba nodded "They ARE rather enjoyable."

I shrugged "Go ahead, I'll probably try and get some more training in before trying it and then bed." I still have a certain technique I want to be completed before the first day of training ends.

"Oh, don't be like that Kōjiro-kun. While I appreciate your seriousness in this matter, I can't allow you to work yourself to death." Gremory warned while tapped an index finger to her lips before smiling innocently "Why don't you take a bath with us?"

I blinked, trying to process the last words that Gremory said and when it did, I have the most logical response "...You can't be serious. Because A) that's hardly appropriate and B) not all of us are comfortable with that."

"Let's put it to a vote." Gremory decided before turning towards her [Queen] "Akeno?"

"I wouldn't mind at all." Himejima's smile set me on edge. She had that smile that's very confusing to me, as I just can't see what her intentions are from it and I don't like it "Asia-chan, how about you?"

Asia turned bright red before timidly raising a hand "I'd like that." She spoke softly. Everyone present turned to Tōjō, who squirmed under the attention.

"I... I don't mind." She whispered, before looking up to glare at me "But perverted thoughts are forbidden."

-_-

"How the hell am I gonna avoid that?" I asked her sarcastically. I mean, seriously, how can a health teen like me NOT have any perverted thoughts about naked girls? Especially beauties like the girls around me... Only a homo wouldn't be effected and would actually be jealous of their bodies.

"I-I don't mind..."

"Same."

"I would like that!"

"All of us would too!"

I let out a sigh of defeat, as everybody else agreed with Gremory's suggestion before the red head and Hyōdō took me away by my arms... Like I had a fighting chance as I'm the only guy in the peerage for the time being.

_________________________________________

I closed my eyes and sighed in relief, as my body relaxes while it sinks into the cool water of the open bath. Ho~ If Heaven is a place on Earth then this is the place! No questions asked! If time could stop for me to let this very pleasant experience last forever.

"Enjoying the water?" I heard Mittelt's voice from my left as I felt the shifting of the water, while my senses tells me that she's swimming towards me.

"Yup." I replied with a smile on my face "After all the crazy training that I did after sparring with Hyōdō, I do believe that this is the best reward for all of the hard work that I've done today."

"That reminds me, what DID you do after training with me Kōjiro?" It was Hyōdō's turn to ask a question, and I pretty sure that this got the attention everyone else in the bath. Hm... Should I tell them about it? I'm positive that they will most likely that they'll try and stop me from doing the workout again if I told them.

"Like I said before, its a crazy training that I will say that none of you should do." I said while crossing my arms "It's completely insane and I'm sure that most of you ladies will collapse even before reaching half way."

"...If you say so." Thank you for understanding, Kiba.

I raised an eyebrow when I felt Mittelt's short arms circle around my torso before she pressed herself on my back and I can feel her petite frame through the towel that she's wearing... Why is she being this forward with me? I already knew that she has feelings for me but I'm still sorting out on how I feel for the blondie Fallen Angel.

"You're really warm, Raiga."

"You're warm yourself, Mittelt." I commented before I felt her hands wonder around my chest... I'll stop her if she goes any lower. I felt the jealousy radiant from the other girls, not doubt wanting to be in Mittelt's position right now. Well... I should probably escape before things escalate to bad highs.

"Mou, Kōjiro-kun." A very mature figure pressed up against me, 2 very soft mounds pressed against my chest as wrapped arms around my neck... Despite having felt a pair of breasts before, this is COMPLETELY different compared to feeling them through clothing "Please look at me."

"Are you dressed?"

"Of course not." Gremory huffed.

"Well then, I'll keep my eyes closed a little longer."

"Don't make me order you."

"Order me to open my eyes in a hot spring full of naked teenage girls? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?"

"..." There was silent for a minute before Gremory burst out laughing.

"It does seem rather strange, doesn't it?" She tapped my nose before wriggling closer, her head snuggling into my neck "Fine. You win this round Kōjiro-kun. But I'm going to break you of this habit, mark my words."

Another warm body pressed up against me on the left side, with this person wrapping an arm around my arm to rest it between her breasts... Despite having felt this pair a second time, I can already tell who's pair are this even without my [Vongola Hyper Intuition] telling me who this person is right now.

"Ara ara Ufufufu." Himejima-san let out her signature giggle, making me feel unease near her right now. When she does that, she usually has something planned and that's not good for me "It seems that you have some trouble, Buchou. Do you want me you help you break him?"

...I didn't like the sound of that at all. NOT. A. SINGLE. BIT.

"There's no need, Akeno. I'll find a way." Gremory declared as she brought my face into her chest...

"Woah! The water just gotten warmer!"

?

"Your right! Ah~ This feels so good!"

"How did this happen?"

"Ara, it seems that we have our personal heater. Ufufufu."

I quickly understood her words, so I freed myself from the girls and sank into the water before swimming away while covering myself in [Mist Flames]. I can't handle this LvL of embarrassment, so I'm getting the hell out of here and get some training to cool off.

- an hour later -

Damn... This is harder than I thought.

I stood before a [Mist Clone] at the bottom of the mountain, with scorch marks covering my body... I've been trying to preform a more magic-based [Zero Point Breakthrough: Revised], which absorbs any kind of energy instead of just [Dying Will Flames] to replenish my reserves, before in my house and it's not been so successful. I already have the [Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition] completed earlier, so this is the last none-damaging technique from Tsunayoshi's arsenal.

"1 more time... Than I'll call it a night..." I muttered to the clone, who nodded before charging up an [X-Burner]. I stood up and did the [Revise] stance while I wore the [X-Gloves], which the crests behind started to glow. My clone took that as the sigh to fire and that it did, as a stream of 'hard' [Mist Flames] rushed towards me.

I closed my eyes to think of the steps to perform the technique:

1) Draw the energy into the gap within my hands

2) Turn the energy into [Dying Will Flames]

3) Absorb the [Dying Will Flames] through the [X-Gloves]

4) Purify the flames, and add it to my own.

I opened my just in time to see the [Mist Flame X-Burner] about to hit me... Only for it to go into the gap within my hands like there's a miniature black hole within it. Then I feel my power raising slowly but surely... I did it!

Once the attack finished, I heard a familiar sound.

*ding!*

You have gained a new skill through a special action!

[Zero Point Breakthrough: Revised] - Active - LvL: 1/100 - EXP: 18%

Description: A technique created by Tsunayoshi Sawada, The Vongola Decimo. Using this technique, the user is able to absorb his opponent's energy, turn it into [Dying Will Flames], purify it, and add it to their own store of energy.

Note:

You can only use this technique if you're wearing something similar to the [X-Gloves: Version Vongola Ring].

I smiled, completely ignoring the note as I already know about, at my second achievement of the day. I have finally gained access to the 2 versions of the [Zero Point Breakthrough], so I think it's time for me to go to sleep.

- the next day, earlier morning -

DOING THE CRAZY EXERCISES THAT I DID YESTERDAY IN MY DYING WILL MODE WHILE WEARING MY CYCLING SHORTS SO EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!

SHOUTING WHAT EXERCISE I'M DOING IN MY DYING WILL MODE SO EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!

AND DOING THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST IN MY DYING WILL MODE!!!

After getting my fill of food, I was ready for another round of physical training but Gremory decided to do some study time. Like I'm not against the idea, wouldn't it be better to discuss about the enemies instead of a bunch of beings that have no relation to the current problem that we're going to face.

Hyōdō and I had an incredibly long study time to learn things that Devils had to know. It wasn't too difficult to remember. I was always good at studying and memorising when I wanted to be.

Once we were done, Kiba decided to do a quiz "Our greatest enemy are the Angels led by the Biblical God. What is the name given to the highest rank Angels? And what are their names?"

"The Seraphim." I answered easily "As I recall, Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, and Raphael are the bosses at the top serving under the Angels' God."

"Correct." Kiba replied with a smile.

"Next is our Maō-sama. What are the names of the [Yondai Maō-sama]?"

"Lucifer-san, Beelzebub-san, Asmodeus-san and Leviathan-san." I answered after stifling a small yawn. I didn't have any proper honourifics to random people, as I don't give those them to anyone that I didn't respect.

"Correct..." Kiba said, at bit unsure on why I didn't gave the proper honourifics "Then next, I will ask you to say the names of the leaders of the Fallen Angels?"

"The main group is called [Grigori]. The name of the Governor is Azazel-san and the name of the vice-governor is Shemhaza-san. The names of the other leaders are Benemue-san Penemue-san, Kokabiel and Shariel-san."

"Correct..."

Asia coughed into her hand to begin her own lecture "Then now, I, Asia Argento, will explain about the basics of the [Exorcists]."

I began clapping my hands with a small smile. Asia's face turned red in a way that looked adorable "U-Umm. From the place I used to belonged to, there were 2 types of [Exorcists]. The first type are the ones that appears in films and novels. The father reads a section of the book, then he uses the holy water to get rid of the Devil from the person's body. They are known as the [Usual Exorcists]. Then the [Other Exorcists] would be the ones that are of a threat to the Devils."

"Kōjiro-kun and Ichigo, you also have met them before, but the greatest threat to Devils' are exorcists who received the divine protection from a God or the Fallen Angels." Gremory continued where Asia left off "We have been fighting against them for a very long time behind the scene. They come to destroy us with the Light received from the Angels, and with their physical bodies that they trained to the uttermost limits."

I remembered the [Heretic Priest], Freed. He was a hypocritical psychopath who murdered Devils and anyone who associated with them. He was an [Exile Exorcist] who killed solely for the pleasure of killing. I wouldn't mind killing him the next time I meet him.

I only snapped out of my thoughts when Asia started taking things out of her bag. Gremory picked up a small bottle with water inside it with her fingers. She held it as if she was touching something disgusting.

"Now I will talk about the traits of holy water and the Bible. First of all, the holy water. It will be very terrible if a Devil touches it." Asia explained "I will tell you how to make one afterwards. I don't know if it will be useful but there are a couple of ways to make them."

"Next is the Bible." Asia continued energetically "I have been reading it every day since I was a child. Hearing a single sentence from it will hurt a Devil, especially if they hear it too many times. This is my favourite phrase-"

"Asia." I called out to her, stopping her from saying a sentence. That was close...

"Yes?"

"You're forgetting that everyone else part from you, Kalawarner, Leone, Mittelt and Raynare are Devils." I pointed out "If you continue, you'll unintentionally harm us."

"Oh... Gomenasai!" Asia realised before giving a bow.

"It's alright, you were just trying to give an explanation."

"That's right, Asia!"

"Just be careful next time, Asia-chan."

"Hai!"

After that, we continued our regular training, as I having rested enough during the study time. I'm sure that we'll win... Because we have no other option.
