It did feel weird, but Issei doesn’t let that show on his face. Shame, but… well, this was the end of the rivalry, he guessed.įeels weird, winning against Albion like this… tch. They would have their fight, and Vali would likely lose in seconds, if she didn’t surrender outright. See, even Ddraig agreed! All the same… it was what it was, he supposed. Hmm… it’s certainly a little anti-climactic, isn’t it? When all is said and done, this is how it ends for the woman that’s supposed to be his rival? … Issei can’t help but be a little disappointed. She’s so shaken by her encounter with Issei’s Focused Intent that she can’t seem to get out of her own head. Clearly, she’s been using that ability of hers to spy on them for who knows how long rather than actually train. Her stuttering and stammering has Issei lifting a brow as he studies her for a moment. “Y-You… I c-challenge you, Issei Hyoudou, R-Red Dragon Emperor! I challenge you f-for it a-all.” Shaking like a leaf, the leader of Team Vali lifts a hand and points it in Issei’s direction. Possible, but not something you’d ever notice unless you were focusing on it. She’s still there, but it’s like trying to sense an ant. Vali has Divided her presence down to such a miniscule amount that she’s gone completely undetected by their senses. Gabriel has realized it around the same time as he has. After all… Issei can’t feel her presence, despite what his eyes are telling him. But then to be fair, even with the sight of Valentine Lucifer staring them both right in the face, it’s still a little hard to believe. Issei can tell from the way Gabriel tenses in surprise that she’s just as caught off guard as he is. He’d certainly waited long enough, but how to go about things? Before he can ask Gabriel for her opinion however, the two of them turn the corner, only to stop dead in their tracks.
The leader of Team Vali was still out there after all, like a ripened fruit waiting to be plucked. Regardless, as they leave Lavenia to her rest, Issei finds himself contemplating just what he’s going to do about Vali. He might have turned Gabriel into one… but even if the Fallen Seraph is a monster, she’s HIS monster. They clean her up and tuck her into bed once they’re through with her, of course. A/N: Vali is ready to succumb to temptation.
