Today, Chojusen woke up extra early in the morning to get a couple exercises in before heading to school. He was more than a little annoyed with how weak his body currently was, so any moment improving was another better than nothing. Chojusen was "almost" a masochist after all the horrifying things he had gone through; a round of extreme exercising couldn't hurt his spirit.
With his physique, the previous Issei might have gone through fifteen push-ups and called it quits, but Chojusen over here was shaking and shivering while counting through his 234th push up. He only made it up to 268 before giving up.
Next was a bit of running, something Chojusen never had to do in the past as he could just teleport. Chojusen sprinted through the city, completing a round trip of about 55 km. However, he didn't push himself to his utter limits in case he accidentally went too far and it resulted in him being tardy for school.
When he returned home, he was completely drenched in sweat, but there was still one more hour before school. He estimated that walking to school would take fifteen or so minutes, so for the next thirty minutes, Chojusen recklessly and ruthless strained his body to do crunches. His abs were crying when he crossed the 150th sit up, but he only stopped exactly thirty minutes after starting; completing 544 sit ups total.
Now, Chousen's body felt like dying, but his ridiculous will power and pain tolerance shined through and Chojusen dragged himself to take a shower before leaving for school. As Chojusen took a quick shower, he had a couple more minutes so he also took a bath. While bathing, Chojusen started revolving his demonic energy around his body.
This action caused Chojusen to learn of a new property of demonic energy. He wasn't sure if his demonic energy would only heal himself or devils in general, but for now the healing attribute came in handy.
After the nice bath, Chojusen got dressed and walked to school. As he passed through the school gates, he could feel people around him stare at him in disgust; and it wasn't just the girls which made up the vast majority of the school's student body. Chojusen ignored the rude glares, but the whispers were starting to get on his nerve; there was even one girl that direct spoke about how worthless he was, without bothering to cover her voice.
Chojusen was getting a bit ticked off, but he knew that these people more or less had a reason for behaving like this. From the way his parent's couldn't even describe his "past personality" with any redeeming qualities, Chojusen could tell that others, who were more critical, would be straight up hurtful to him.
Chojusen ignored all these annoying comments, he directly avoided even looking at these people. His cold attitude caused several of the girls that knew him as a sex fiend to give him a double take. Never in their lives would they have imagined that Issei Hyoudou, a member of the Pervert Trio, would look at any girl with such derision in his eyes.
Chojusen walked through the school trying to figure out where his class was. He didn't ask anyone for help as he knew that all the people at school would just laugh at him, so he wandered around aimlessly. Eventually, he found his classroom and he gave the teacher his doctor's note.
Issei's teacher was a bombastic beauty that the previous Issei would not spare ogling at, so she wasn't too thrilled to have to interact with Chojusen. However, after she received Chojusen's note, she was surprised to find that he had amnesia. His special form of amnesia was also quite evident as he no longer stared at her breasts openly; in fact Chojusen didn't really take a second glance at his teacher after giving her the note.
The teacher excused his previous absence and told him where to sit. Chojusen nodded and made his way to get ready for class. Before class started though, two students tried to sneak attack him. He might have recently undergone his ascension and lost almost all of his power, but this weak attempt at a sneak attack was child's play in Chojusen's eyes.
Chojusen looked at the idiot before him with some vigilance. Sure they may be weak, but he didn't remember making an enemy out of anyone yet. Chojusen said "Who are you, and why did you try to hit me?"
Matsuda looked at Issei with shock, he still couldn't believe that Issei dodged him as he made sure to sneakily come up behind him. It was just for a joke, as they had been best of friends for years, but now Issei looked at him like he was a stranger. Matsuda could help but say "Issei are you ok? Or has watching all that porn made you think you're a hero." Matsuda started laughing at his own comment, while also getting the derision of the girls in the classroom. What kind of idiot blurts out the word "porn" in a high school classroom?
"Huh?" Chojusen remembered the descriptions of his body's previous owner, so he quickly deduced that these were probably Issei's friends. He said "Look, I lost some of my memories yesterday, so I don't know you. Ok?"
This time the boy next to Matsuda, Motohama spoke up "Amnesia? This is very serious! We must remedy your illness later today!!! How about we all go to my house to watched my special collection?"
Matsuda agreed loudly, his face turned red from imagining all the weird fetishes that would be in his buddy's collection. But Chojusen was not too keen on keeping these worthless people around him; if he did so, he would only be inviting humiliation upon himself. Chojusen said "Look I don't have time to waste watching whatever collection you have. Please stop talking to me from now on..."
Matsuda and Motohama were shocked that Issei was serious. They couldn't imagine him as anything else other than one of them; a sexual deviant, who would stop at nothing to be perverse.
Chojusen's conversation was heard by everyone as it would be hard to ignore Matsuda's loud mouth. The girls were all somewhat impressed with Chojusen's change in character, but they didn't take this little dramatic event to heart.
Chojusen sat back down on his desk and waited for class to begin. The first subject of the day was Science, Chojusen was deeply interested in the topic after seeing how far the people in this universe had evolved their understanding of it. Chojusen was still a bit behind what was taught in school, but he earnestly payed attention in class, which made the time go faster, and also made his teacher not dislike him as much as before.
After Science was Math, a subject Chojusen currently understood to a higher level than what was required at school. For this class, Chojusen was bored with all the things the teacher taught, so he started training his demonic energy. His lack of focus caused the teacher to call on him several times to answer questions, to get him to pay more attention, but all the questions that were thrown at Chojusen were answered easily; there was even a question that Chojusen solved with differential calculus even though they were still only learning about trigonometry.
Needless to say, the teacher would not mess with him any more with regards to mathematics. After math was Home Economics, a class that Chojusen had no idea why it needed to exist. It was all just body and family management as well as nutrition and cooking. Chojusen was also bored with this class, so he kept messing around with his demonic energy. The teacher for this class was just glad that Issei had stopped ogling at the girls in their aprons, so she didn't bother with Chojusen.
However, she did want to try his food as it looked amazing, even if it was just a basic bowl of soup. When she did taste it, her reaction was so over the top that everyone turned to face her to see what the problem was. She said "Issei, you… you!"
All the girls immediately jumped to conclusions and backed up their teachier, forming a makeshift wall to protect her from Chojusen's grasp. On of the girls said "Issei what did you do to our teacher!"
Chojusen was just chilling in his own little demonic energy filled world. He never expected to be surrounded by hostiles everywhere as he drifted into his world of training. Chojusen said "Huh? I haven't done anything? What's your problem?"
The girls kept staring at him like he was some sort of fiend; he was, just not the kind they were thinking of. It was only until all the girls were shoved out of the way and the teacher came up to Chojusen with stars in her eyes that the girls stopped acting so ridiculously. The teacher took Chojusen's hands and look at him straight in the eyes, she said "Issei~ Show me how you made this soup."
None of the girls in the class could believe the current situation. But as they watched Chojusen's god-like cooking they were amazed. The also wanted some of his soup, but Chojusen only made an extra bowl to stop the teacher from annoying him. He returned to his world of training as the teacher and the girls fought over his cooking.
After that odd exchange in home economics, Chojusen could finally be seen with some passion in his eyes. The next class was physical education; a class where he could tortu… train his body without any odd looks coming his way.
After everyone changed their clothes, Chojusen was brought to a field where the class as a whole did some warm up exercises and a small workout. The class work out had to be done as a class, so Chojusen couldn't blaze through the workout to get to his routine ahead of the others. After the class workout, Chojusen was given an hour to let loose and train to his heart's content.
Chojusen's behavior of not staring at the girls stretching was already a heaven defying act to those that knew of his reputation. But now, as everyone watched his insane workout, they truly started to think he wasn't kidding about his amnesia.
Chojusen did hundreds of sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups. He lifted weights, he ran around the track, and even after stressing his body to the utter limit, he wasn't satisfied and wanted to keep going. The only reason he stopped was because he had other classes to attend, but the image of his soaked and sweaty body had already been engraved in the minds of all those who watched him as a legend.
Chojusen took a quick shower in the boy's locker room before he finished his first day back at school after a history class followed by a literature class.
