Seconds passed, and a powerful green glow emerged from his right forearm, making everyone in the room stare in amazement at the light and sense of power.
"What a... shiny thing." Kiba whispered, watching that enormous glow coming from Kentaro's forearm, sensing that something huge might be coming.
[Imminent faults, disconnect and relocate...]
However, as not everything is flowers... that powerful glow was only an empty consequence, as the Boosted Gear unfortunately didn't appear on his arm, the glow faded and his forearm was only visible to his tattoo.
Koneko and Kiba blinked rapidly, confused that nothing had happened and wondering if they should ask him something without making him think that he was just a crazy person trying to impress them for nothing.
"Wait... nothing happened after that glow, what happened?" Kiba was the first person to ask Kentaro politely when there was no holy weapon on his right forearm.
"It's your choice whether you want to answer him, okay?" Koneko butted in just to let Kentaro know that it was his own choice to answer this question without looking embarrassed, but he didn't care.
"I don't know either, shouldn't he have appeared after that glow?" Kentaro gets a doubtful look on his face and begins to stare at his own arm, unable to understand what has happened.
"Can I take a look to help you?" Rias asks politely, approaching Kentaro so that she can ascertain what might have happened to his forearm during the summoning process.
He accepts her help only by nodding his head while pointing his arm towards Rias, and she begins to smooth her delicate hand over Kentaro's right forearm... and while smoothing and trying to feel some inner energy coming from his body, she realizes the problem.
Unable to say anything, Rias lowered her head with her eyes closed and moved away from him so that she could explain to everyone what had happened.
"There's something stopping him from using Boosted Gear at the moment, I can't feel what's stopping him from summoning it... but according to my thoughts, next time he'll be able to." Rias clarifies with everyone in the room, and they all quickly sit down in their seats, with Kentaro standing up in disbelief.
Kiba's eyebrows rose, as he had never before seen a user of a sacred weapon being prevented from using it by supposed third parties... even though he knew of its existence and his style of summoning mastery.
However, Kentaro sits down and reflects for a moment to find out what happened in that summoning process... and quickly remembers that he heard a strange sound coming from his mind and didn't notice it at the time.
He clicks his fingers with his right hand and figures out why he couldn't summon his sacred weapon... but he'll have to sort it out alone, away from everyone for a short while, so he can get some satisfaction.
"Everyone, if you don't mind... can you wait for me for a few minutes? I need to go talk to a good friend of mine." Kentaro asked Rias and company as he got up from the sofa next to Koneko to take a short break.
"Make yourself at home dear, we still need to talk about more things around here and I hope you'll be back soon." Akeno agreed to his little absence in a gentle tone and the rest of the group accepted his little getaway to sort themselves out.
He left the room he was in and quickly left the old building where his club was so he could go to the restroom where Motohama and Matsuda ended up getting beaten up by the girls for snooping in the women's restroom.
Entering the men's room next door, he locked the door with the key that was tied to the side of the sink and washed his face so he could focus on scolding someone.
"Right, tell me why you stopped me using the Boosted Gear? You old piece of shit." Kentaro raged, questioning the action his twilight system had taken and realizing after a few minutes of reflection that it was her fault that the sacred weapon hadn't appeared.
The system opened to Kentaro's eyes, and he invoked a panel in front of him to visualize the sound waves of the technological voice.
[Master Hyoudou, there was a purpose for the failure of the summoning… and I can explain it as best I can without causing you any more hatred].
He slams his hand down on the sink with hatred, causing a loud noise around the bathroom from the slap he made on the marble surface.
"Right, and what's your weird explanation for stopping me from using a sacred weapon that has belonged to me since birth?" Kentaro is still waiting for a clear and coherent answer so that he doesn't leave that bathroom wanting to commit a homicide-level atrocity with some random student.
Through the system's sound waves, it ends up making the sound of a throat swallowing saliva, showing a sense of fear for its owner.
[Well, I don't know if you know or remember, but Ddraig hasn't granted permission and hasn't activated 100% in his body yet... he would only really activate with his first dangerous fight as a consequence of getting used to the future invocations of his sacred weapon].
The system ended up revealing itself on the panel where she herself digitally illustrated Kentaro's body, showing his diabolical energy circulating over every blood vessel, organ and especially in the half of his soul that is located in the deepest part of his brain.
[Memories, thoughts, or phrases linking families and friends are not inflicted right away as was the case in the fight against Yuuma, the invocation is inflicted only in states of danger or death that will cause your sacred weapon to develop for the first time and at any time in your life you can activate it as you wish].
"Right... so to summarize stupidly, you didn't leave it because it would spoil the mood of the story, right?" He asked with a neutral expression on his face and a calm tone, hoping that she would be direct rather than go into too much detail.
