The next day Sirzechs and his partners began preparations for the arrival of Rias and her peerage
Anos(Turning to Sirzechs): Rias mentioned that she would be arriving by train.
Sirzechs: Yes they are aboard the Devil Express as we speak.
Anos(With a devilish smirk): Why don't we prepare a small surprise for them.
Azazel Michael and Sirzechs throw each other a look. They all think about the same thing: "Rias is gonna be doomed".
Sirzechs: What did you have in mind.
Anos: Nothing special really, Why dont we have them fight Tannin over there the moment they reach this area.
Tannin(Rubs his hands in glee): I love the idea, I want to see what Ddraig's new host has up his sleeve.
Anos: Then my friend I am afraid you shall be disappointed.
Tannin: Never the less it will help us train them.
Anos: There are not going to be any problems I assume
Sirzechs: No my lord. Just be careful not to kill them.
Anos: That won't be a problem I can simply resurrect them if they die
Azazel(To himself): As if anyone is stupid enough to disagree.
Anos sits back while the others prepare the are for the not-so-fortunate arrivals.
Soon a large red train appears overhead and Anos sees the floor of one of the carriages dissolving causing several figures to fall to the ground.
Issei pov
Issei(To himself): I don't know what the hell is happening, One moment I am fantasizing about all the boobs around me, and the next thing I know Everyone is falling towards the ground of who knows where.
Rias: Akeno cast levitation magic, make sure no one is injured.
Several magic circles light up the air as the group's fall slows down. Once they land they seem to be ok just a little dazed.Before they can recover however the huge form of tannin appears and Anos must admit that his performance was more than satisfactory with rias and her peerage being completely crushed by Tanin's sheer power. In the end after Issei's, full power dragon shot completely failing to do any damage to Tannin Sirzechs decides that it was enough and he along with the rest of the group proceeds to explain Rias and her Peerage. The moment Issei hears that this was all Anos's plot he shakes his red fist at Anos
Issei: I should have known that this was your idea.
Anos: You don't need to make me look bad you know.
Issei: Who else here do you think is capable of making a plan this demonic.
Seeing Issei waving his hands while trying to give Anos a scolding prove too much for him as Anos bursts out in mild laughter.
Anos: I knew there was something about you. You are simply too amusing to ignore.
Sasha flies down with the other two.
Sasha: I swear Anos I haven't seen you laugh that much since who knows when.
Issei(Visily drooling): Who are those three babes.
Sasha: Who's the worm.
Anos: Just the resident clown, And let me tell you he is a big pervert.
Sasha Misha and Eleonor take one look at Issei and shoot a look of loathing towards him.
Azazel(Gesturing to Eleonor): Anos iv been wanting to ask you but that girl isn't real is she.
The whole group shoot Azazel a questioning look.
Michael: What do you mean by that Azazel.
Azazel: Well simply put her body isn't living. There is something strange about her I just can't put my finger on it tho.
Anos: Well I guess there is no point hiding it, Eleonore here is a being made up purely of magic, My magic to be precise.
Azazel: Fascinating, to create a being purely out of magic.
Sirzechs: Azazel you can have a chat later we need to get started with this training camp.
Azazel: Fine, would you do the honors Sirzechs.
Sirzechs: Gladly. (Turning towards his victim... I mean Rias's peerage): Ok you guys listen up, The three of us had originally planned a training camp for you guys to improve your power. However Anos here has decided to personally train some of you, So I will call out the names of those who will be personally trained by Anos and his friends.
Issei(Jumps up): What were you guys thinking about letting him train us, Half of us will die by the time he's done.
Misha: I don't believe that will be a problem.
Sasha: Ya I mean if u die then he can simply resurrect you.
Issei: That's not the point.
Akeno: That's enough Issei, It cant be as bad as you think right.
Issei: Anyway there's no way I am going with him.
Anos: I don't think you have a choice.
Issei(With a scared look): Whyyyy.
Anos(With a big smile): Because I am going to personally train you.
Issei:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Sirzechs: Ok enough of that. Everyone get going I will teleport your to your destinations.
Sirzechs gets up and a large magic circle forms beneath their feet. The next thing they know the group is divided into student-teacher pairs. Anos and Issei find themselves in a large canyon surrounded by trees.
Anos: Enough loitering around let's get started.
Issei resigns himself to his faith and tried to give his best knowing the consequences.
Anos: Good looks like you are fired up now. For now, I want to see what you can do so come at he with your all.
Issei summons Ddraig and then charges at Anos with full power. Anos sidesteps and brings a hand at Issei's cheek and pulled it.
Issei: Ouch Ouch Ouch let me got that hurts.
Anos(Sighs): You're going to need a ton of work, I like I will take up this challenge.
Issei gulps but does nothing. Meanwhile, Anos casts 'Rivide', Issei is surprised to see that everything around him seeps to slow down completely as the world becomes black and white.
Issei: What did you do now.
Anos: I just slowed downtime to a thousandth of its original.
Issei: You can do that.
Anos; Yes I can now 'Ibis'.
A pair of arm and leg bands paper in Anos's hand.
Anos: Put these on and I want you to wake up that dragon in your hand and charge up your power to the maximum.
Issei complies and in a few moments he powers himself up to the maximum before Anos tosses him the bands which Issei tries to catch but is instead hurled back a few meters.
Issei: Just how much do these things weigh.
Anos: Depends on the user, For me that weighs abt a hundred megatons each but for you, they should be abt 50 to 60 kilograms.
Hearing this Issei simply looks at Anos like he'd seen a ghost.
Anos: Well what are you waiting for, put those on.
Issei hesitates for a while but complies. The moment he wears them his hands move to his sides and his feet remain rooted to the ground not moving.
Issei: I can't move.
Anos that's the point, these bands get heavier the longer you wear them but the rate of increase varies from user to user. Your body is pitifully weak right now, they will help you increase your physical strength and your magic.
Issei: Fine ill keep trying.
Anos: Good then I will be back in a few days, I want to see that you have made some progress or you are going to be punished, Ans as a bonus if you do better than I expect an ill reward you with something.
Issei perks up after hearing the part about a reward.
Issei: Fine ill do my best.
