Bluefang129: R: Story's got potential. Not much has happened yet, but I'm hopeful that when time comes you'll will make appropriate changes and not lazily follow cannon checkpoints without significant differences. I like the MCs attitude and practicality (minus trying to save issei without a plan), please don't change that and turn into a stereotypical cheesy protagonist, who ends up being dense, and doing silly thing like refusing to kill villains. He should keep his cards close, in regard to not being from their world, and utilize/weaponize his knowledgeable of future. Keep up the good work

A: Wow! That's... I think the first serious review I got for this story! Thanks!

But to answer your review!

I'm glad that you think it has potential, I've said it a lot but I'm just writing this in my free time so I'm really not sure if this story is going to satisfy a lot of people but I'm glad that you seem to like it.As for the the other things you mentioned, to be honest they are things that I'm looking to avoid myself, I don't know how well I'll dodge them but I should manage fairly well, I'll try to keep more of an eye on it though.I can tell you this, Tadaaki is more of a pragmatist and won't have much of a problem with killing villains. (Make of that what you will.)

Guest: R: Definitely one of the most well written fanfics I've ever read. Looking forward to reading more of this.

A: Thanks! I think there are lot better writen fanfics than mine, but I appreciate the compliment!

Another Guest1029: R: You know what's really broken about telekinesis that most writers desperately avoid? The fact that there isn't much to stop a telekinetic from squeezing internal organs into paste. It's hard to fight a guy when your brain's leaking out of your ears.

A: Yup, broken as hell, which is why they avoid it unless they're writing an OP MC, which I'm not, or at least I'm not planning to at the moment.

And usually I'd agree with you on that there really isn't much to stop that, but, and it's what I'm gonna go with for my story for now, so if you think there's any holes with it feel free to correct me, I'm kinda figuring out my plot as I go, BUT, in DxD there's magic power, demonic power and all that, and supposedly all beings with it emanate some of it, soooo... can't I just say that that interferes with Telekinetic force and won't let Tadaaki squeeze anyone's brains into mush? (Unless they're normal humans, not to mention that he'd have to learn to do that first)

Again, I'm still figuring it out as I go so feel free to poke any holes in that, and I'll try ti come up with something better.

Okay! That's the Reviews done!

I'd like to ask you guys something, do you think I'm getting to heavy with the Tadaaki x Rias interactions? I was looking back on my chapters and I wasn't sure if I was or not so I wanted your opinion.

Have a good read!

Let me the first to tell you that Issei's voice can be quite obnoxious. Doubly so if you're waking up to it.

"Leave it to me, buchou!"

That yell was followed shush, though I'm not sure by who, since I was still struggling to gather the will to open my eyes, but bless their soul for admonishing the loudmouth and bringing peace to my poor ears.

'You'd think he'd have learned his lesson by now...'

I let out a deep sigh as I finally resigned myself to waking up and opened my eyes, leveling a narrow eyed contemplating glare.

Probably hearing my sigh, Issei turned around to look at me with and sheepish expression, behind him Rias pinched the bridge of her nose before giving me an apologetic look.

Issei scratched the back of his head. "Ah, I'm sorry, Akechi-senpai."

My brows furrowed slightly and I gazed at him strangely, still contemplating.

After a few seconds of silence, Issei started fidgeting, uncomfortable under my gaze and the awkward silence.

"Ehm, w-what us it, senpai?"

I continued looking at him for another moment before saying in a slow and serious manner.

"I am considering whether or not to change my methods of handling you."

He blinked at me in confusion, absently I noted the amused smirked on Rias lips and I continued in the same dead serious tone.

"Clearly you have some sort of masochistic fetish, seeing as you still haven't managed learned your lesson after all the yelling and punishment I've put you through, as such, I'll have to adapt my methods accordingly."

I finished with a thoughtful nod to emphasize my words and relished in the result of my words. Truly, it's amazing the effect a couple words can have.

I watched with a smirk on my lips as Issei's skin turned as white as paper and his face morphed into an expression of complete terror, before he started turning slightly green, gagging.

I scratched my nose, silently lighting a candle for the pervert as I saw that, at Rias side, Akeno's eyes had adopted a strange shine as she looked at Issei.

'Then again, he might be happy at the attention?' I reasoned to myself as I waited for Issei to recover from the mental blow.

Eventually Issei regained some semblance of thought locked at me with an imploring gaze. "Please spare me Senpai! I'll be careful in the future! I promise!" He tried to plead his case.

I rested my elbow on the armrest and leaned my head on my fist as I looked at him thoughtfully, as if pondering his case.

Of course, I wouldn't do anything of what I was threatening, as much as the pervert annoyed me he wasn't all that bad, not to mention that in all my skills and limited patience, dealing with masochists and or sadists wasn't something that I could or wanted to do, not to mention that said pervert, to my knowledge, didn't have said fetish.

Of course, if that's really the case or not is not something I care to find out.

"Alright, that's enough Tadaaki, Issei-kun seems to have learned his lesson, he also has a job to do, no time to waste."

Issei let out a breath of relief and I sighed in mock regret before my brain processed Rias' words properly, making my new memories jump in surprise at the lack of honorific, confusing me.

'Why'd she drop the honorifics already? We've know each other for less than a day, at most she'd be interested in me for saving Issei, right?'

I couldn't think of why she'd drop honorifics, our relationship wasn't one that'd encourage her to drop them, if anything it was the contrary, she should be trying to sound me out, to figure me out, understand what made me tick.

'Is it because I'm in her peerage now? No, then Issei would get the same treatment, he didn't though...'

I looked at her as she got up, trying to pick apart her brain for answers.

'To get me comfortable? To get my guard down? A trap?'

My eyes sharpened and my muscles tensed for but a moment before I dismissed the thought.

'No, that'd be counter productive, she'd have wasted her last Rook and she's seen that I have value, it'd be an action with all cons an no pros.'

I closed my eyes and cleared my mind trying to open up my thought process.

'To show that she trusts me?...Possible. Then she already saw through my dubious character and is taking steps to counteract it.'

Smart. Insidious, even, but she acted to fast, setting off alarms, ruining the process.

'No, it'd still work, still will actually.'

My eyes snapped open and a laugh escaped before I devolved into a laughing mess and everyone in the room looking at me strangely, but I couldn't care less at the moment, not with the amount of relief that flooded through my brain, a strange relief that even I couldn't justify, but felt strangely... nice.

'It'll still work, because it shows she cared enough to actually think about it.'

I rubbed my eyes clearing the tears that had formed, even as a stray chuckle escaped my lips and locked eyes with Rias's shocked, joyful one's, a grin on my lips, bobbing my head up and down, before finally saying.

"Good move."

She understood what I meant, if the way her lips widened into a grin of her own and her eyes glimmered with joy were any indication.

"Thank you." She bowed her head in acceptance of my praise, the grin still on her lips.

"Would someone mind explaining me what's going on? I feel like I missed something." Issei asked, confused, to no one in particular, but only got head shakes in response since they were just as confused as he was.

I took the fall and 'explained'. "Let's just say that Rias just got one over on me and leave it at that."

Issei let out a confused noise at my words and I shook my head in response. "Didn't you have a mission to do?"

His eyes widened in realization, as he discarded all the sophistry to the back of his mind "Right!"

I looked at him with an amused smile at how quickly he could switch trains of thought, the others however looked at me strangely for a couple more moments before letting it go in favor of continuing on with the schedule

I fell in line beside Rias as Akeno made her way to an empty space in the room and in order to prepare the teleportation magic circle and Rias started explaining to Issei what he needed to know for his first contract.

I turned to her in confusion as she finished. "Shouldn't I be doing one as well? After all, I just joined, right?"

She nodded, acknowledging my words without looking at me. "Usually that'd be the case, but this contract was an extra one from Koneko, she got two and couldn't take care of both of them since she was lacking the time, hence why it was given to Issei, not to mention that you have already awakened your sacred gear, so, I want you to start getting feel for it."

I hummed in realization as I felt Issei's envious gaze try to burn me alive. "I see" I then turned to my pervert an rolled my eyes at his look.

"Don't you have an objective?" He looked at me still annoyed that I could skip menial work but confused at why I'd asked that and nodded, prompting to me release a helpless, annoyed sigh.

"Even if it's not the most noble of goals it's still something to work towards and this'll contribute towards it right?"

His eyes widened slightly in realization before he nodded eyes glinting in determination and I let out another sigh, slightly mollified by the giggle I heard beside me.

Issei proceeded to walk to walk to the teleportation magic circle with a grin, spreading his arms with a delighted smile as the circle started shining a bright red in a grandiose manner, the circle coming to start, ready to do it's duty and sole function... Until it went out in the most anti-climatic fashion ever.

I barely held back my grin of schadenfreude managing to suppress it to a faint smirk before I heard the distinct sound of skin slapping against skin, turning my head to the side to see Rias covering her eyes slightly as she looked at Issei through the gaps in her fingers, helpless at his situation.

I could also hear Akeno's 'fufu's' as she seemingly took amusement in the situation, Kiba shook his head, as helpless to the situation as his King while Koneko just took it as stoically as always.

As for our favorite pervert he was looking at where the magic circle used to be still stunned at what had just happened.

Rias coughed lightly. "Issei, it would seem like you can't jump."

'Jump. So that's the proper name for the teleportation thingy, probably should've paid attention when she was explaining that...' I thought before tilting my head as I remembered something. 'Wait, she explained that while I was sleeping didn't she?'

While I was thinking that Issei was looking at Rias dumbfounded. "What...?"

Rias let out a light sigh. "Your demonic power can't support the amount needed for a jump." She finished with apologetic smile as she looked at him in pity.

I leaned my weight on my back leg before saying to him, the same smirk I had in the beginning still on my lips. "Looks like you'll have to take the long way around."

"So what should I do?"

I was once again alone with Rias in the club room, she was sitting on one of the couches while I sat on the other

She wanted to make sure of what I could do, get a felling for my capabilities, the abilities of the my sacred gear, which she supposedly didn't have much information about.

Now, for that, there were two possible reasons, first, it was as she said and this sacred gear is a pretty rare one and I, previously already had it, either past me, for some reason, or past Tadaaki.

Second... Whatever threw me in here also gave me this sacred gear for whatever reason...

'Well, there's also a third, which my instincts agree more with which is some kind of mixture between the two.'

Either way, I didn't have enough clues to make any kind of guess about it, I was pretty much just taking shots in the dark and following my gut.

'There's only so far you can go that way though.'

I was pretty sure that whatever threw me here didn't have any malicious intentions towards me, or it wouldn't have given me power, so I decided to disregard it for the time being and focus on the situation at hand.

'She said that my Sacred Gear had something to do with the mind, disguising Telekinesis as part of it's power shouldn't be to hard, since in a way, Telekinesis is related to the mind as well. As for besides that... I'll just have to roll with the punches.'

With a plan of action slightly formed I turned my attention back to Rias.

"Try to do what you did earlier with the papers."

I nodded at her words inwardly annoyed at said experiment I did with the papers. Even if it was kinda what I wanted to do, they weren't supposed to go flying everywhere!

Anyway, what's done is done, not to mention that it was my first time that I used this new power of mine so I sorta have an excuse... right?

"Sure." I answered back to her instruction, not letting my inner conflict affect my outward actions.

I concentrated and thought back to my memories of the paper experiment.

When I was trying to will the paper into lifting to the air it didn't work immediately, in fact only once I concentrated on the paper so much that everything else seemed to fade did it go launching into the air like a hound let loose, not at all like the slight float that I wanted.

There was a gain from this little experiment though, just before the papers launched into the air, I felt a something in my head, I'm guessing this is whatever lets me have Telekinetic powers, either a new energy like demonic power, which I still don't know how to use, or... something else, I'm not exactly sure what else it could be, I'm mostly just banking my guess in it being some sort of energy, since that's kind of what it felt like.

I closed my eyes and relaxed my body, turning as much of my focus as I could towards my head, paying attention to each and every feeling that I could catch, becoming hyper aware of each breath, every hair rubbing on my skin, each twitch in my muscles, each itch, each-.

I let out a frustrated breath, opening my eyes and scratched my hair.

"It's okay, there's no hurries, take your time." Rias gave me a reassuring smile.

I looked at her for a moment before taking a deep breath while rubbing my face. "Right, no hurries." I let out the breath I took and leaned back into the sofa, letting my body fall limp against it.

'No hurries, huh?' I almost let out a snort at the words. 'I... no, we, don't exactly have the luxury of time, I can't just leave it all to fate and believe that Issei will somehow harness the power of boobs to save the day as he did in cannon, for all I know this is a different universe from that one, after all, I'm not supposed to be here, what else will change.'

I shook my head slightly to clear the dark thoughts out of my head, whether things will be different or not isn't what I need to worry for now, my worries right now is taking control of Telekinesis and using it to my advantage.

I let myself relax again, focusing once more on my head.

This time I focused mostly on my breath and let everything else fade out.

A breath in, one out... One in, another out.

I kept going like that for a while, until eventually everything besides my breathing faded into nothing, still though this wouldn't get me anywhere so I threw something else in.

I started willing that what was around me lifted into the air, while still focusing most of my attention on my breathing, leaving some of it to try and catch anything new that popped up.

For a while I just kept like that, a breath in, another out.

It felt like minutes, but my logic side told me that it was probably only seconds, but eventually something did pop up.

'Gotcha!'

Turning all of my attention from my breathing to this feeling I sort of managed to lock onto it, and started to try and prob it for any reaction it had to me.

After doing that for a while I came to the conclusion that it pretty much did what I willed it to, only thing being that it seemed... sluggish.

It was slow, it seemed almost... weak? That's what it felt like to me anyway, like any and all action was a tremendous effort, kinda of like when you were dead tired and couldn't move a muscle.

I needed it to move though, needed it to do something, cause there ain't no way in hell I'm wasting any bit of potential I have in this world.

I slowly cracked open my eyes still keeping most of my focus on this new energy of mine, idly noticing that the pen that was resting on the coffee table was now floating above it, and willed the energy to slowly bring the pen to me.

The pen started moving almost immediately this time, slowly drifting towards me.

When it was in front of me I let out go of any and all focus I had and started panting, feeling like I had just ran 3 laps around the school, only now noticing how drenched in sweat I was.

'Guess this is more draining than I thought it'd be...'

"Congrats!" Rias cheered with a bright smile at my achievement.

I gave a weak smile. "Thanks." I took a couple more breaths before saying. "I'll have to work on my stamina if I want to make proper use of it though, it drained me too much for just this little use."

She nodded in agreement with a thoughtful look as she murmured more to herself than to me. "If your Gear drains you this much, then, I think it'd be best to start your training early, probably focus on stamina for now..."

I smirked at how thoughtful she was being and hummed in agreement. "I'd also like to get started with demonic power."

She looked at me in pondering, making me wonder if I pushed to much and started to take back my words. "If it's too much trouble I-"

"I'll help you with it in my free time." She looked me in the eyes and nodded firmly, as if confirming her words with herself. "Demonic power is important to any Devil so it would be best if you knew how to make use of yours. I was planning to teach you and Issei later, but learning a little earlier wouldn't be a problem." She turned to look at me strictly. "When you reach the stamina requirements I'll teach you, but not before then." She looked downwards slightly in thought. "I'll also have to get Issei started on his training..."

I nodded at her conditions, knowing that it was probably for my own good before smirking wryly at her following words. "Well..." I sighed in reluctance at what I was going to say. "I know I shouldn't encourage this but..." I looked at her with the same wry smirk. "At least he's easy to encourage."

Rias eyebrows rose in realization before she started to giggle. "I suppose that is true."

I rolled my eyes jokingly at her before looking at her in a mock know it all smug face "Of course it is, I said it, I would never be mistaken."

We stood there looking at one another for a couple seconds before breaking down laughing.
