53 The Rotating Gear of Fate (2/2)

”So, what do you think about that kid, Sun Wukong?” Indra asked Sun Wukong with muffled sound as he couldn't help to hold his laugh, when he remembered Sun Wukong and Yu-Long's previous beaten up appearance.

”In that kid's eyes, he may think that your action is rather a busybody, Indra. We really underestimate him. Especially his abilities, which are rather peculiar.” Sun Wukong scoffed lightly at Indra as he saw Indra was holding his laugh, though he still replied seriously when he remembered his previous fight with Rafi.

”What do you mean?” Indra, sensing Sun Wukong was getting serious, became much composed as he discarded his previous playful expression.

”Fighting him is like trying to catch an eel, due to how slippery his abilities are. Particularly his illusion ability which caught me and Yu-Long off guard. And his illusion could not be easily broken, even after we knew it was just an illusion all along.”

”Illusion, huh? It is just like Great Red isn't it.”

”I am afraid so. To make a strong illusion like that, in my knowledge, only Great Red's illusion ability could rival his.”

”Do you think he has a connection with Great Red?”

”...although I said his illusion could rival Great Red's, Yu-Long and me couldn't feel any trace of Great Red's aura on him, which is more surprising. If he has a special connection to Great Red, then we could somewhat explain where his ability come from, unfortunately we are not really certain now. Especially, knowing that Great Red is not interested in the world's affairs.”

”Hmm...”

”.....”

”Well, let's just keep an eye of him. It looks like things will get more interesting with his addition to the mix.

Pity that I can't get him to my side. If we could get his help in dealing with Shiva, then it will be better. Though, I am also itching to try taking him on now, HaHahaha!”

”Well, although I know you are strong, just be careful though. In his fight with me previously, I got the feeling that he still didn't go all out. Which is a more frightening probability, now that even not his full power could dealt with me, Yu-Long, Loki and Fenrir at the same time with him still had leeway around in our fight.” Sun Wukong caressed his beard in depression as he remembered a strange feeling in his fight with Rafi, and thus reminded Indra to be more careful to Rafi.

”HahaHa, now THAT is more interesting!”

.....

At Realm of the Dead, Hades's Palace of Underworld.

Hades became furious after he heard about the successful alliance of Three Factions and Norse Mythology, which was fueled more with the news of several God-class combatants's defeat at Rafi's hand.

As he remembered about Rafi's 'invitation' to him, he gnashed his teeth in anger as someone he thought an insignificant human actually dared to insult the Gods. He had already been merciful to Rafi when Indra came to him previously, due to Rafi's invitation. As Rafi was someone who caught Indra's eye, he put a blind eye to the insignificant human's action which he considered just a weak provocation from a lower lifeform, and it would just lower his dignity as a God by responding to Rafi. Though, now he only felt hate for such human to actually trashed other God.

”Damn, atrocious Devil and Fallen Angel! How dare they occupy my Underworld as they please! Only me, the God of The Dead Hades, is the true ruler of Underworld!

And those souls are mine! They are my authority! Those mythologies should just give those deceased souls to me to handle!

Now, even those Devil and Fallen Angel start to ally themselves with other mythologies. I can't let this continue further! Or else, my share of souls and territory will be reduced in the future. And that human, I will surely get his soul and torture him in eternity of my Hell!”

.....

After Rafi handled the procedure for Rossweisse, he closed the day as he went back to Avalon for a rest. Seeing that school would begin next day, he planned to leave the teaching job to his clone, as he wanted to bring the girls to Heaven.

Though, before he could tell the girls about his plan, he was surrounded and pestered again by them for deciding the position of main wife. Knowing that his fate was still uncertain, whoever he would chose, he decided to be silent on the matter.

When he couldn't handle it any longer, he could only run for his life with an awkward expression, thus evading the tricky question which might put his life in danger. Seeing that he was running, some of the girls pursued him as he fled to Underworld, while some waiting disinterestedly in the Mansion as they knew Rafi would be back to Avalon again later, as they prepared some 'evil' plans, much to the dismay of Rafi's poor soul.

.....

Meanwhile, at Issei's house. Akeno was helping Issei to do his homework, as they spend their time closely in Issei's room.

”You need to finish this part first, before you go to next question, Issei. If not, you will not be able to know the integral factor used for next part.” Akeno explained patiently as she leaned herself at Issei closely, which resulted in some parts of her touched Issei gently.

”Um, Akeno-senpai?” Issei, feeling the heavenly sensation, blushed hard as he stuttered a bit when he held himself from showing some strange reaction.

”Hm, what is the problem, Issei? If there is something you don't understand, I will teach it again, patiently.”

”Um, those, those,... it is too close...”

”Ara, ara, what is too close, Issei~?”

”.....” Issei could only held himself as he felt Akeno's body was closer to his own, which almost causing a certain part of him to harden.

”Don't worry, just say it, Issei. I will properly 'teach' you. All of it~” Akeno looked at Issei tenderly as she pasted herself more at Issei, aware about the implication of her action.

”What are you doing, Akeno?! You are distracting Issei when he is doing his homework!” When Issei was about to really let loose, Rias and Asia barged to his room, as they held Akeno away from Issei.

”It is not fair, Akeno-senpai. I also want to help Issei-san.” Asia looked at Akeno pitifully as she felt being left out, especially as she compared her breast to Rias's and Akeno's.

”Ara, ara, Rias and Asia-chan. There is nothing suspicious going on here. I am just helping my junior doing his homework. It is my duty as his senior to 'help' Issei~.” Akeno was smiling as usual as she saw the look on Rias and Asia's expressions.

Thus, it was the start of the quarrel of three women at the last day of Issei's summer vacation. Though, fortunately for Issei, he finished his homework at last minute of the night. Which unknowingly saved him from a certain teacher who was still in an awful mood due to running for his life from a pursuit of jealous women. Because that certain teacher already swore to vent his feeling at Issei who also had a harem around him, as he tried to find the reason to bully, no, to 'properly educate' Issei, his kindred spirit.
