It's already night.
I just started training the wind magic today and I dare say it's a very fruitful experience. The progress is pretty fast too, because of the fact that wind is, well, everywhere. It's pretty much a common sense that training into an environment where a specific element is dominant would also contribute any nearby practitioners of that specific element.
Wind is basically everywhere, which means that the progress should be more faster than the other elements.
I'm actually glad about the fact that I chose the wind element first. I don't really need to leave the house to train it efficiently and it's pretty easy to control.
The mountains, shores, and grasslands could be a better environment. But even here already gave me a considerable amount of boost. I can tell it already because I accustomed with the magic quickly.
It's pretty surprising that I'm really progressing fast. I though I would hit a slump if I trained multiple things at once. I think I'm actually really this talented, with the fact that I also don't laze when I need to train. A good time management should do the trick if you like procrastinating a lot, which I do.
Even then, I never slacked about training. I am really invested in it, since it's literally my first time of experiencing this kind of lifestyle. I mean doing these kind of things in my old world wouldn't be that useful at all. There are no dangers such like what happened me days ago.
Anyways, I checked my stats and oh boy. The experience I obtained from that fight really gave me a large boost.

Well, my stat line improved. My speed obviously on the top and strength at the bottom. The difference isn't much but the mana section isn't blank anymore. D rank is already insane, but the fact that it could go into B+ if certain conditions are met is truly amazing. The 9,000 amount of magical energy is surely not small in any means.
Still, it would stick into rank D for the most of the time. Maybe if I mastered the mana control, I could truly reach the rank B+. The speed also could rise into D rank, maybe because of the wind element being related into speed in a manner. Strength also might be in the same case.
About the abilities section, everything leveled up. With the new addition of mana control and magic detection. The latter would be really useful, I guess getting exposed into magical barriers and runes like in my dojo should help leveling this ability up.
The
The other abilities didn't raised much, but still progress is a good thing, no matter how small it is.
The wind magic is a blessing. It is very versatile and easy to understand. Although I didn't try applying some applications of wind magic from the anume and novels I read, I think I can copy them as long as I understand the theory about the techniques. This also could be used not only as attacking utility but defensive and supporting mechanisms. Raising your speed with wind magic and creating a wind barrier should be possible because both are the common techniques that could be seen in animes.
Anyways, everything from the stats have grown. The growth should become slower as I kept grinding but the juicy experience I can get from fighting is large. Though, it is not a good reason yet to just fight anybody I see and hunt stray devils because I wouldn't want to get in any unexpected scenarion that I could and I could not think about. I should focus on creating a stable foundation for the next three weeks before school takes most of my time. I shouldn't make haste at everything, after all, patience is a virtue.
Now that we actually talked about the virtues, I used to serve a church for 3 years. It was quite fun, learning about different things about christianity. I had to quit because school takes most of my time and I'm a lazy person. Everything is still memorable, but not enough to return in the same position today.
Three weeks left before the school starts. I'm pretty excited about the canon, I'm not really sure whether if it starts after the opening ceremony or in the midst of the school year. The thing is, I don't remember much the contents of the Highschool DxD. I am academically smart but I am not always the sharpest tool in the shed. I have my blunders too!
Good thing, is that I berifriend Issei anyways, who's going to be the center of happenings. At least, I can actually figure out what's going to happen depending on his actions.
I'm pretty sure that the canon is going to be slightly different with my existence close to the main character of the story, I should try not diverging much because I am not strong enough to survive in any attacks of any supernatural being, even their weakest. I might have killed a pretty powerful stray devil, but it's already weakened and its skillset is too vanilla and predictable.
"Everything should be face with the hard way if you want to learn," I said with a bit of determination.
"I should try my best, starting from now."
I left the dojo as I go to sleep. Thinking about my future and myself. The moment I decided to go here, is the moment I am damned to face the danger. I wished I just reincarnated into a school-themed romantic comedy so that my life would be easier.
There's no way I would backdown. I would face this challenge, whether alone or not would be up to the future events.
Everything is still according my luck. I should capitalize whatever the system can give me in meantime. Hopefully, nothing unpredictable occur in the last three weeks I am going to be able to train whole day. I should work on things that I should.
"Well, whatever, I'm just going to rest." As I say that, I pulled my blankets into my body as I drift away to darkness.
I dreamt of windy grasslands.
---TIMESKIP---
It's been two weeks since I kept dreaming about the windy grasslands. Whether it is portraying something or not is still a mystery to me. It wasn't an unpleasant dream in any sorts. It's only weird and surely not coincidental.
For now, my conclusion about it is it has something to do with the wind magic I am practicing. Nothing really changed, at least, according to what I feel.
It's waste of time to ponder about it anyway if I can't figure out something from it, for now. Its not like it gives me debuff or some sort of that.
It's already the middle of the day and it's cloudy. There are no signs of raining though, and I'm just lazing around because I've already done my fair share of training earlier this morning.
I have already improved in every aspect, this potential I have is something that I even find amazing. My progress in everything is undeniably fast, albeit my pacing is becoming slower. After all, attaining higher level should be done with some sort of experience.
I never really have any some sort of encounters like that particular night. The sign that the owners are making sure that the town is safe. It's unnerving in a way, having nothing to gather experience that could help me in many ways. I should somehow try to contract one of the princesses, which could be safely done if I ever receive one of their outlets.
I could try to patrol on my own, but I'd rather not to alert them and make myself known as a possible danger. I don't have any sort of skills that could conceal my presence.
I'm not willing to take any risks yet. I can certainly say that I almost adapted my environment completely but everything could be taken down, slowly.
Currently, I'm confident that I could kill a low level stray devi by myselfl. My basis is how strong the main casts of Highschool DxD early on, I am even confident enough that I could clash in equal grounds with Kiba, though that's more of a speculation if anything.
I have considerable growth over the week, it's not the fastest but it's progress nonetheless. I have already a solid control with my wind magic, I can already shape them into weapons like arrows. Though, it take some concentration and I can currently manipulate two arrows, four if I focused completely with my magic.
Whether they would be effective against any enemy would be up according on how much magic I used to form the shape in first place, at least according to what I have figured out. There are no target dummies or any objects that I could use, I don't know how much the runes in the dojo could hold up so I won't take any risk at all.
Honestly, I don't know if I'm playing it too safe or I'm doing the right thing. While I prefer for things to be quiet, there should be times that battle is inevitable. I should find a way to try any magic of mine, I wouldn't want to leave any holes or affect the neighborhood, after all.
There aren't really much option. I can only use some of less destructive abilities I have. But, still, I should actually go around in the house for once. I have a feeling that this house supposed to have some sort of secret underground training room. Oddly specific, isn't it?Anyways I should try to get a feel with this house so if there are some sort of secret door mechanism, I should be able to find it through magic.
My ability to feel magical things have gone up considerably ever since I trained my magic. Think of it as bonus for training myself everyday not only physically, but spiritually. Currently, I can feel magical presences within 15m around me. It isn't that big yet but still a good thing.
My body flared a bit as I open my magic circuits. I felt my 150 magic circuits and the flowing mana in my body as I control it according to what I trained. After a while, I have started to feel through magical signatures throughout the house.
Now that I noticed it, there are also the same runes around my house which are scattered in different places. Judging from their feel, they 'strengthen' the walls in certain extent.
I move as I kept feeling the magical signatures in my house. I need to move slowly as I focus myself on magical signatures rather than my 5 senses. It's necessary to focus my mind in the task so that I can feel any subtle signatures around. I'm not really that great yet to feel any magical signatures. It should take around years to pull it into some extent that I can feel any underlying magical signatures around me, not to mention, experience.
After 2 hours of going around and stumbling sometimes, I found some sort of trap door behind my bedroom. It's kinda scary to know that there's something like that just below my resting place. Curiousity got over me so I accessed the trap door without even thinking of possible consequences.
There is a wooden ladder that leads into a spacious room after opening the trap door. The ladder wanst that long, but the room can atleast house an 8 footer without their heads getting bumped in the upper part of the room. There's also dim lights around which is enough to lighten up the room without being bright. Everything is almost colored black, except for the ladder. There are nothing but walls could be seen around.
After some minutes of walking around, I can say that the room was definitely large. It is exactly large as my entire house + the backyard. There are also much more runes in here compared to the dojo and inside my house combined. There are total of 6 varieties of runes here below. The brown one feels 'indestructible', the red one feels 'powerful', the green one feels 'refreshing, the pink one feels 'full, the blue one feels 'cold', and the black one feels 'quiet.
I have no knowledge what the runes are, not even my system provides any regarding information about the runes itself. Maybe it is something that higher powers or intelligent magicians have only information about, maybe even only the Gods? If there's something that I'm sure of, it is not threatening, to me atleast. Any of the runes doesn't really give much of the bad vibes, not even the red one. I can assume that whatever this is, everything I store in here is safe.
Maybe the feeling that I can tell in every rune is their exact function, I mean, there are black ones which is the same as the runes in my dojo. The runes inside my house is color grey.
I tried punching the black wall, I am physically stronger than most human. I am confident enough that I can break rocks through my punches. Yet, the wall didn't even have any some sort of marks after the punch.
I tried amplifying my punch with wind magic, this time, my strength rank is supposedly at rank D temporarily. This is currently my physically strongest punch that I could give. This is already enough to actually bend any steels bars without damaging my fists.
*thuk*
A weak sound was made after I launched the magic-powered punch.
The wall still didn't show any signs of being damaged. I guess the 'indestructible' feel I got from the black runes around the large room is somehow correct. The room isn't hot too like what you'd expect into this kind of rooms, in fact, it is quite cold here. Ranging from 15-10 degree celcius. The air also feels clean and the magic here is pretty dense. It must've been the work of the other runes.
This rooms feels like a training room, which is literally the thing that I exactly wanted currently. So I couldn't be happier with the results of the search. Though, it's quiet disappointing that I found this a week before the classes. I should use this to its fullest before the classes eat most of my time.
-TIMESKIP-
It's been 3 days since I discovered the training room on my house, and I've been using it to its fullest. Ise doesn't come as frequently as he's very busy so I've been spending my whole time training and doing different things.
I stopped caring already for any risks. I believed that the training room could conceal anything that I do. So, I've been experimenting different attacks using wind magic.
I want to mimic Arturia's strike air. Although we are using different swords, there is no doubt that it could also work on my sword as it's easy pretty to imagine. I also have large mana reserves, meaning I can do trial and error for multiple times.
Obviously, I didn't managed to mimic it completely. I haven't mastered my magical control yet and it might took longer than what I expected first. I only managed to produce a weak airblast which only can push a normal human at its best. My wind magic mastery isn't high yet so another reason why I couldn't really pull any stronger moves.
My strongest technique currently with my wind magic is the
I can also make myself two times faster with wind magic, I called it
I can also make some sort of barrier using wind magic. My unoriginality came to life and called it
The first variation of
The last one that I created is a skill derived from synthesizing wind magic with my unique blade. I called it
Currently, I have 4 magic techniques from wind magic. A pretty neat progress, considering I need to conceptualize my own techniques because my system
doesn't provide anything like grimores or skills books. I kinda enjoy it this way though because it won't feel easy at all and it would contribute my mindset. As much as I would like to be an easy going guy and laze around, the laws of the world won't allow it. The moment I learn magic is the moment I enter the supernatural.
Another thing I noticed is that my blade feels more powerful than the first I helf onto it. It also sympathizes with magic easily, and I felt it was also 'growing'. I have a thing on a mind what's all about that feeling but I could only conclude until 'that' time comes.
I should continue on improving my skills, the progress is obviously slower compared to what is it when I first trained but I wouldn't want to stay rusty for the rest of my life.
The room provides a boost on my training, I don't know why but it is welcomed anyway. I didn't felt any bad vibes in the training room anyway so I just accepted it as a gift.
Four days until my 2nd year of school starts. I'm pretty excited about it, and at the same time, very nervous. Though the former is more dominant, because the fact that I'm going to see the main casts of Highschool DxD in fresh is something that does come normally to anyone. I am not an avid fan of the series, or some sort of geek, but I always find the show interesting and fun to watch. I might not now the greatest details of the series itself but there's no way I wouldn't look forward about the fullest experience of my reincarnated life.

---3rd POV---
The sun rises up as it welcomes an another day. The winds are refreshing as always. The birds are singing as the woods chriping with the melody. A young man who is standing tall, wearing a brown uniform. A plastered smile could be seen within the young man's face. Yet the aura of excitement could be seen into the young man's posture. This young man is Lugh Rusherie, preparing to enter Kuoh Academy as he patiently awaits for a ceratin brown-haired boy.
Seconds have passed, and the brown-haired have arrived into the front gate of Lugh's house.
Blue meets brown, as the copper-haired boy speaks up.
"Hey, let's go already, I know you are excited." Ise said with excitement as he opens the gate leading to Lugh's house.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. You're just excited for the beautiful girls, aren't you?" Lugh replied with a hint of amusement. A large smile could be seen to Ise's face as Lugh sighs.
"You know me so well, aren't you the same?" He replied happily. Lugh approach him as he gestured to go already.
"Those are just bonuses, I'm more rexcited to see you oogling around and getting your advances rejected by every girls you try to approach," Lugh replied sarcastically as a tick mark appear in Ise's head.
"Damn it! I will show to you that I'm going to get a beautiful, big-breasted, and sexy girl as my girlfriend!" Ise said the first part with seriousness, which slowly becoming to sound more perversed as he says the second part.
"You'll never change, do you?" Lugh sighed in resignation as he confirmed that Ise is rotten to the core, at least he is also a genuinely kind person, according to what his experiences from him.
"I'm going to be a harem king!" He shouts as we walk down after Lugh locked the gate in his house. This is one of those moments that he is thankful that there aren't any people around them.
The canon continue to approach faster and faster as the time passes. What kind of fate that the two young man would face? What are the roads that the two young man would walk into? Only destiny would bring them to their own places, or is it?
Author Notes: This story is in fact, not dead yet. The hardest part of our school have already passesoso I have more time currently to mess around. So, I'm sorry for one month delay.
Please say if there are some sort of inconsistencies in the story, I will change it later since I'm planning to revise the previous chapters if I have more time, including this one. I still suck at grammar as English is my second language and I'm still in highschool level so don't expect any better sooner or later. I haven't even checked this chapter yet regarding the grammar. But, another timeskip would be included to the next chapter so canon would arrive earlier. I will be putting the foundation for our OC.
Constructive critism is accepted as always and any reviews would be useful for my own improvement. I might be doing thus for fun but learning is a crucial part of everyone's life.
Anyways, thanks y'all for your patientace and I should be able to consistently release chapters for now. Though, don't expect much. Also, thanks for supporting this shitty fanfiction of mine. Hope y'all are safe during these hard times. Peace out.
