Trials of the God-Harem King [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

[X] Call Asia
----

'Alright.' You decide. 'But I will let Kitsukawa decide of his own will. And if he accepts, you better have a way for him to hold his own even without a powerful Sacred Gear.'

{You worry too much. Under the guidance of a Solar everyone can surpass his limits. Just go on with it.}

'Hai, hai.' You look up to Yang and Ruby. "Alright, here's the gist of it: Bright saw potential in Kitsukawa, and she wants to add him to our group."

"Does he have a Sacred Gear?" Yang asks.

"No, but both her and Ddraig said he can grow strong without it."

"But, it's okay for a bad guy to join the good guys?" Ruby asks with a cute perplexed expression.

'Good question. Wait no he isn't a bad guy, just annoyed with life. What to say...Oh!' "This way we can redeem him?"

"Ooh." Ruby's eyes sparkle. "Awesome."

"I am okay with it." Yang grins. "More sparring partners are always good."

"I will also need to ask Asia and Mittelt. And of course the final decision lie with him." You take out your phone and dial your house's number. "Hello Dad. No I am not skipping homework, I already did them all. Can you give me Asia-chan? Is Mittelt-chan also there? Thanks Dad."

Asia and Mittelt agree, trusting fully in your decision. Half an hour later they come: under your guidance Asia heals Kitsukawa, not completely but enough to let him move.

As the green healing aura washes over him the former gang's leader twitches and stirs. Asia steps back and joins the girls, leaving you and him alone.

"Did you have a good rest?" You ask him, in front and above him as he opens his eyes.

"I guess." He sits up straight. He blinks in confusion and looks at his arms. "...It should hurt more. How long was I asleep?"

"Not even a hour. I can explain of course. But to do that, I first need you to make a decision." Your face turns all business, and you try to express how serious what you are going to say is. "First, tell me something. You said you live a boring life: is fighting against someone stronger the only thing that you enjoy?"

He doesn't answer immediately. He looks around the area, raising an eyebrow at the group of girls waiting in the distance before focusing on you again. "I was always strong. When I began going to school I discovered I was stronger than anyone around my age and even a few years above me. Until you I had never lost actually."

He shrugs. "Things like reading or watching TV...they are okay I guess, but too mild to satisfy me. Only the fights sometimes made me feel truly alive, but once it ended with me standing at the top of my enemies' broken bodies all that high came crashing down, and I would find myself in a boring world again."

How the saying goes? [Born in the Wrong Century]. Bright is right: this may be dangerous for him, but it may be the best for his soul. "The world can indeed be a boring place at times. But! Shougo Kitsukawa!" You cross your arms over your chest. "This is only on the surface. This world is wilder than you've ever imagined. You fight like a Berserker, wild and unrestrained, discontent with ordinary life. You seek excitement, you seek to bask unrelentingly in the joy of battle, to becoming stronger and conquer more and more challenges. Know that one of my Masters took an interest in your plight, and she wants me to make you an offer." You hold out a hand. "Join me, and you will enter a world crazier than anything you could have imagined, a world, I assume you, will never allow you to feel bored ever again."

He's stuck silent, but soon eyes light up with interest. "Is this world you spoke, are there people strong like you?"

"Strong like me?" You grin. "Plenty. And there are even more who are stronger than me, capable of feats that would blow up the mind of ordinary people. You can live for decades, even centuries: but no matter how much you train, you will always find someone stronger than you. It will also be dangerous." You turn back serious. "You may lose your life. Are you okay with that?"

He starts laughing, ignoring any pain he might had. "Hah! Interesting, so interesting! This world of you sounds so interesting, much different from the boring one I lived until now. If it can make me feel alive, risking my life is worth it." He stands up and shakes your hand. "I accept. Show me a new world.."

"Issei Hyodo." You grin and shake his hand back. "Welcome into the Moonlit World Shougo Kitsukawa. Asia."

At your call the blonde Italian walks to you. "Hi! My name is Asia Argento. Nice to meet you." She says before she crouches and starts healing Shougo again.

The blonde Viking's only response is to tilt his head at the display. And Asia is done he flexes his arm. "Convenient."

You grin. "And that's the tip of the iceberg."

----

"So...you're a demigod and a dragon?"

"I'm fully human." You answer back. "I just have additional pieces inserted into my soul that let me surpass human limits without my body exploding like an overinflated balloon. I trained hard to control those abilities."

Your group, plus Shougo, is walking down the river's bank, explaining to the new addition all he needs to know.

"Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils and Youkai?" He laughs. "Who would have thought such things exist for real!"

"Don't forget about Yatagarasu!" Eiko jumps up from behind and latches her arms around your neck.

"When did you get here?!" You yell.

"I am always by Master's side!"

"Get your hands off Ise, you fire-bird!" Mittelt tries to grab Eiko, only for the Sun Raven to gracefully jump away.

"Still a brute I see." She mocks, prompting Mittelt to begin a chase and the other girls to try to calm them down.

Shougo tilts his head at the display. He turns to you. "I was wondering, with all those girls...are you a pimp?"

Faster that he can react you have an arm around his neck. Your voice is emotionless. "Shouko-san. You are now my comrade, but the bro-code dictates that bros don't butt into each other's affairs when it comes to girls. Alright?"

He blinks before grinning like a shark. "Only if I get to fight against you again."

"Deal."

You shake each other's hands.

"What's more, defining me a 'pimp' is completely wrong." You puff out your chest with pride. "I'm a chivalrous pervert!"

"...That's hardly better." He deadpans.

"TOO SLOW!" "DEVIL!"

Your quarrel and the girls' one are interrupted by a bizarre sight: a young boy in a Gi is running along the bank at top speed, pulling behind him a tire tied to his waist by a long rope. And sitting on the tire is a guy in a kimono cracking a whip at the young boy.

"TOO SLOW! YOU WOULD LOSE TO A TURTLE! GO FASTER!"

"I WILL DIE! I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO DIE! PLEASE SPARE ME KOETSUJI-SENSEI!"

"I AM HELPING YOU GETTING STRONGER! THAT'S ALL THE HELP YOU NEED!"

"AAAAH!!!"

They disappear in the distance.

You nod in appreciation. "That's a good training regime."

"...You did something similar?" Shougo asks.

"Yes. Just with tanks, tigers, Underworld dogs, ninja robots wielding light sabers and robot maids powered by resentment armed with machine guns and missile launchers:"

"What."

----

Later as you rest inside your room, the suit neatly folded on a chair, you begin a dialogue with your mentors. 'So, any idea to how give Shougo-san an edge?'

[Bright is in the laboratory.] Ddraig answers. [You will have to wait until she's done.]

You snort. 'And you? Do you have a dragon technique or something?'

[Uhm...there are some techniques, but they make the target more a dragon than his original race. Plus you can't use them yet....Oh! I forgot about that. There is a minor trick available to low-level Dragons. You transfer part of your energy into the target's soul: this 'blessing', so to say, increases one's affinity with Dragons and allows him to be slightly stronger when under a strong emotion.]

'Better than nothing for now. How I do it?'

[You do it like this...]

You spend the next hour learning the new Knack from Ddraig.

"It wasn't so hard-" You starts to say before being interrupted by a sound you are familiar with.

[BLINK! BLINK!]

"Again?!" Against your will Boosted Gear assumes its Gauntlets form. The green gems on both start blinking with a golden light.

[EVOLUTION! TRANSFER! EVOLUTION! GIFT!]

The blinking intensifies before the light starts flowing through the red metal in golden rivulets, gathering on the centers of your forearms and forming the image of a stylized burning sun.

Sol Invictus' Symbol.

There is a sound of metal torn and stone shattered before Bright's icy voice comes from your mind. {What. Did. You. Do?}

You wave your hands in denial. "Nothing! Ddraig was just teaching me a new technique. Boosted Gear did everything by itself!"

{Let me see.}

For a few minutes there is silence. Then it starts: faint at first, but slowly building up until it's deafening.

Bright is laughing.

{Hahahahaha. Worm, I honestly don't know if you are just that lucky or if the Unconquered Sun himself is personally watching over you!}

"Okay." Your voice is hollow. "Now that you are done creeping me out, can you explain what happened?"

{Haha. Remember when I taught you about Half Caste?}

"The offspring of a Celestial and Sidereal Exalt that, while not Exalted himself, received a strong affinity to his parent's power. Right?"

{That's right. Now, care to guess what new power was unlocked by Boosted Gear?}

"...I give up. What was unlocked?"

Bright tells you.

Your eyes almost bulge out of their sockets.

----

"What do you want to talk about Ise?" Mittelt asks with curiosity. You and her are sitting seiza in front of each other inside your room. The door is locked.

"Er.." You scratch your head, searching for the right words. "I don't want to make you think I'm taking advantage of you, but..." You sigh. "Earlier, by accident, Boosted Gear acquired a new power. One that allows a person I trust to align with my Essence. Technically this procedure makes the person stronger and able to learn some Solar Charms. Bright insisted I do it with everyone of you, and.."

"I am the toughest one, so I am a good first test subject?"

"...Basically yes. I completely oppose it, but that's Bright-sensei for you."

"That's okay." Mittelt leans forward and plants a kiss on your lips. "I already swore myself to you Issei-sama. I trust you."

"Mittelt..." You hug her and kiss her back. The two of you remain like that for awhile before separating.

"Alright." You cough. "Let's do it."

You close the window, put a candle in the middle of the room and light it. "Mittelt!" You say with an ominous tone, your fingers making twisted movements. "Are you ready to partake, even if only in an infinitesimal part, of the glory and perfection of the Unconquered Sun, chief war god of Heaven, divine ruler of the Celestial Court and the patron Incarna of the Solar Exalted?"

"Yes?" Mittelt's hand is over her mouth, trying her hardest to not burst out laughing.

"Then receive it." Boosted Gear forms on your right arm. "The Gift of Radiant Destiny!"

Your fingers gently tap her forehead.

And then light explodes from her.

----

"Ooh..." Slowly, Mittelt opens her bleary eyes. "W-What happened..?"

"Are you are alright?" You ask with concern while holding her in your arms. "You fainted and sleep for a hour. Bright said it would happen, but I was worried."

"I'm okay, just a little disoriented." She stands up. She blinks. "Uh? Wha...Ooh.."

Her raised hands begin glowing of a faint golden light, identical to your own Aura. She licks her lips. "This...feels similar to when you use Prominence. Ugh, my wings ache!"

With a shudder she release her wings.

Her completely golden wings.

Her mouth opens in a 'O' of surprise at the sigh. Just like you. "My wings. They're golden." She whispers.

"That...was not supposed to happen." You apologize. "Listen, I'm so-"

"THEY'RE GOLDEN!" She cries in joy, her hands fondling her wings as her eyes shine with amazement. "Just like Archangel Michael? Does this mean I am a pure angel now?" She does a fist-bump. "Only one way to find out."

"Wha-" You tries to say before Mittelt's lips lock on with yours.

----

One hour later

"They're still golden!" Mittelt cheers while straddling your naked, sweaty chest. "Angels who have sex without purification Fall, but they're still golden! Thank you so much Issei-sama."

"That's good." You groan. "Now can you please-"

Her kiss silences you again.

----

Three hous later

[Oni and Fallen Angel. What a scary combination.]

'...You can laugh. I will not stop you.'

[Okay. Uhahahahahahahahaha!!!!]

Asshole Dragon.

As you let the hot water of the shower falls on your sore muscles you consider what to do next.
