Chapter 8: Game Time, Gremory vs Phenex

                                    

                                          
y/n POV
Our training duration of ten days has almost come to an end. This was the last day, and everyone has shown tremendous improvement. Still not quite on my level, not to be egotistical, just stating facts. Kiba has improved his strength and was easily going around the entire property a couple of times in less time then we started. Koneko has improved her reaction time considerably and managed to stand up and throw a few punches wearing those weights. Issei improved on his stance and general fighting knowledge, as well as working on strengthening his body, allowing him to boost further. Asia has also increased the range of her twilight healing by an impressive amount, she can easily heal from three feet now. Rias and Akeno improved their reaction time and magic consumption, they began taking out more ice chunks with more ease, and using the appropriate amount of magic for each ice chunk. Generally just impressive results all around. We were now standing outside as I wanted to see the improvements from the least experienced of all of us.
y/n: Issei, come here for a sec and summon your sacred gear.
Issei: Sure man.
Issei walks up to me and summons his boosted gear on his hand.
y/n: Good, now start boosting. Don't stop until you absolutely can't go any further.
Issei begins doubling his power over and over. After a while, he begins shaking and turns to me with a strained look on his face.
Issei: A-alright, this is m-my c-complete limit.
y/n: Hmm, eighteen boosts. Not quite twenty, but still good improvement. Now then, I want you to unleash it all at once, on me.
Issei: Y-you sure m-man?
y/n: Of course I am, I couldn't be your trainer if I was done in that easily. Now go ahead.
Issei: S-sure, no p-problem. Boosted Gear!
Boosted Gear: EXPLOSION!!!
A small orb of glowing red energy forms in Issei's hand.
Issei: What, that's all I've got?
y/n: You're being indecisive, that can get you killed out there!
I send a wave of ice at Issei, speeding towards him.
y/n: It's now or never, do it!
Issei: Go!!!
He punches his hand at the small orb as it explodes into a powerful blast of energy. I shift my right foot sharply and create a large magically enhanced iceberg all around myself. It takes the blast, but rumbles a lot, taking a large chunk out of the front, but not nearly enough to reach me. I melt my way out and look at Issei.
y/n: See? That's how much improvement you've made since we started.
Issei: What do you mean? I hardly dented the damn thing?
y/n: Exactly, it would've taken all of you together to get anywhere near that sort of damage before. My ice is very durable, especially when magically enhanced. 
Issei: Woah, sick.
And Issei isn't the only one who's improved, you've all gotten much stronger, and have definitely increased your chances of beating Riser tomorrow.
y/n: Since it's the last day, just take some time and give your muscles time to rest.
Everyone: Right!
