Entering The World Of High School DxD - Chapter 64 Awakening
Time passed by quickly after that day. Kuroka and the girls would ‘come over’ every day for the next 2 weeks. This pleased Mom and Dad since they always wanted a big family and I got to enjoy a very peaceful recovery through this. After I recovered the girls still continued to stop by every once and a while since Mom kept pestering me to bring them over but that was only on Sunday’s since after my recovery my schedule was really packed.
During school days I would regulate my Primordial Energy inside my body in order to get a better grasp of it. I don’t know when it happened but when I awoke my Primordial Energy most of my energy reserves were devoured by my newly acquired Primordial Energy. Along with this, it became harder to control this energy because it was a lot stronger than normal energy and thus needed a stronger hold on it.
For mana, I can use it unconsciously without putting much detail into the action I want to make, but now if I want to use Primordial Energy I have to give my full attention or else on miscalculation could cause many unwanted results. So in order to get my level of control to the level, where I can use it unconsciously, I practice during school hours.
Besides that, after school, I’d probably go home or hang out with Kiba but, to my surprise, I found out not long after I came back to school that Kiba invited me to join the Occult Research Club. I had no clue why he did that, but it was probably orchestrated by his master Rias Gremory. As for why she wanted me in the club I could think of 2 reasons. 1 was that she wanted to recruit me into her peerage after hearing about my swordsmanship through Kiba, but obviously, I wasn’t going to accept even if they asked. The other option was that they probably suspect me of something since not long after a global wide storm occurred I was nowhere to be seen for 2 weeks.
I wasn’t really too worried about my identity being revealed now that I had fully healed, even if I was worried a lot of mid-tier factions and above probably have a few clues on my true identity but are too scared of my faction and me. If I wasn’t scared of real members of the supernatural world come to get me why would I be scared of some teenagers who a way weaker than me. I’m not being arrogant or anything it was just confidence that made me think this. When the effects of the lightning in my body started to subside rather than fade away, the lightning began to merge itself with my body further increasing my physical capabilities.
Anyway back to the event with the Occult Research Club sadly I overestimated them since rather than have suspicions on me they were instead trying to recruit me. It wasn’t anything direct like what she did in the anime with Issei but rather we had some small talk. As for what we talked about it wasn’t really important for me it went in one ear and went out the other. In the end, when I left to go home I left a very confused Rias Gremory as for why she was confused that’ll be left for another day… maybe.

After my weekdays were done and over with my weekends were the times I really got into training mode. I would leave the house in the morning telling my parents I was going out with the girls for the weekend much to the displeasure of Tuskihime-chan and left the house for the weekend.
In that time I would teleport into Haven and from their go into UBW. The time ratio there was 10:1 so training there was better than in Haven. For 10 days in UBW or 1 day, in reality, I would enter closed-door training to perfect my basic combat capabilities. Whether it was martial arts, weapon techniques, meditation, energy control, or even magic practice.
While I didn’t really put much effort into putting magic into my usually combat style it wasn’t like I ignored it or anything. I always had magic as one of my trump cards since ever since I acquired my Primordial Energy even the weakest magic spell could spell disaster if I didn’t minimize the damage to the extreme. In a way, while the system did say that my magic was maxed out level wise that only represented the amount of attack power my magic had it didn’t really calculate my control over magic. But that was why I was training to begin with so I could get better.
Once my closed-door training was done for the week I would spend the remainder of my weekend with the girls take a walk around Haven’s landscape with Kunou, take naps together with Kuroka, bake sweets with Shirone, help out Valerie with her research, or even just quietly drink tea with Yasaka before we -*cough**cough*!! let’s move on shall we.
After that, I’d come home early the next morning and appease the angered Tsukihime-chan with sweets I made with Shirone. Have I become a sis-con yes I won’t deny that don’t judge me okay. Days like that went on for a while and Issei and I eventually became second years, and it was also on the first day back too school that Issei would finally awaken his sacred gear.

Since the first day back to school was pretty exhausting after we finished eating dinner Issei made his way towards his room and I did the same with mine. If it was a normal day I would have just gone to sleep the moment my head touched my pillow but coincidentally as this was about to happen I got a message from one of my friends through a magic circle.
He called asking me for some help in one of his new projects but I really didn’t want to go. Sadly he didn’t take no for an answer and kept pestering me for a long time. As I was listening to his constant pestering my mind started to wander before eventually, I felt a slight burst of mana come from Issei’s room. Feeling something odd going on I told my friend I had something to do before hanging up on him.
Not wasting any more time I entered into my void form and entered Issei’s room. There I saw the usual Issei sleeping in his bed, the only difference was that his left arm was now covered in a gauntlet and the emerald gem at the center was glowing brightly. If this was the usual phenomenon then at most their would be a simple glow, but the gauntlet didn’t materialize before.
After giving it some thought I came to the conclusion that Ddraig had finally made some sort of connection with Issei and they were currently talking to each other through Issei’s dreams.
Yu – You know I always wanted to see what Ddraig looked like in real life, so seeing as we’ll be seeing each other more in the future I might as well introduce myself to him.
Thinking this I used a simple soul technique to separate a part of my consciousness and send it into the Boosted Gear’s Gem. The process took mere moments and by the time it was done I had already entered my consciousness into the Boosted Gear.
