The Maniac of DxD (Highschool dxd insert/ semi-crack): Chapter 4

Ok, mission failed successfully.

What do I mean by that? Well, my mission was to gain Touki as quickly as possible, emulate the characters from Dragon Ball, and become an invincible badass flying in the sky and raining death on the heads of some poor fools.

I succeeded in gaining Touki after relentless effort and some pointers from Akeno’s old man.

So, why did I say, ‘Mission failed successfully?’ well, because, once again, the universe said fuck you and directly put all the awesome shit I wanted behind a paywall called Touki reserves.

Hence, mission failed successfully.

Turns out, gaining Touki is the easy part. The hard part is training the newly awakened touki enough for it to matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

In short, training Touki would be a masochist's wet dream and a common man’s nightmare. Which is neither here nor there as far as I am concerned. Again, I really cannot deny the allegations of insanity leveled at me with how easily I am accepting bodily harm in pursuit of power and memes.

Anyways, with Touki now in my grasp, it is only a matter of time before I bring down the paywall c*ck-blocking me and get my sweet, sweet death beams.

Let's get this show on the road.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New update for my imaginary audience, things have gone up shit creek with Akeno and the Himejima family.

Turns out, the cute but strange girl that always clung to me was a half-human all this time and the man who gave me pointers to unlock Touki was a Fallen Angel in hiding.

It makes sense now why Akeno was bullied so much before I stumbled on her and why Shuri-san and her husband lived away from the main compound of the Himejima family despite being part of the main branch.

It is a truth that was already known to the higher members of the family for a long time now but was kept a secret from all this time due to Shuri-san’s parents and their status.

However, recently, some idiot let slip the truth to the lower members of the totem pole which resulted in the truth spreading like wildfire through the clans.

When I found Akeno the next day, the bullies who had left her alone after my help had returned with reinforcements in the form of nearly all the children in our age group.

For the first time since my reincarnation, something other than madness took hold of my mind.

What followed was a fight filled with right jabs and left hooks that left all the kids on the floor and me with a broken right arm and a deep cut on my forehead.

For an adult like me, it would be a shameful thing to say, but I couldn’t care less since these were not normal children.

The burning classroom around us was the evidence for my claims.

Seriously, children can be really scary due to their lack of self-control. During the fight, some of the kids were genuinely aiming to kill Akeno and me with their powers.

If it were not for my Touki taking the brunt of the attacks and Akeno doing her best to heal me from behind with her newly learned healing skills, we would have been six feet under by now.

However, this did help fend off the bullies again and served to reinforce my nickname as the Maniac of the Izayoi clan even further.

Again, I couldn’t care less about what they thought.

Things really went south when my birthday rolled around.

I would be turning ten this year just like Akeno and we planned to celebrate together since our birthdays are only a few days apart.

Of course, the universe, being the bitch she is, threw a wrench in our plans, hence my current situation.

As I ran through the large woods separating the Himejima compound and the small cabin that Akeno and her parents called home, I enhanced my entire body to the limit with Touki.

Instantly, I felt everything about me be amplified a hundred times, allowing me to clear the distance in record time.

By the time I arrived at the scene, it was already clear to me that I was too late.

Akeno was holding her mother’s dead body while surrounded by the sundered forms of her assailants while screaming at her father.

The Fallen Angel must have sensed my arrival since he immediately assumed a combat stance before relaxing after seeing me.

However, before I could utter a single word, he simply took off into the night.

What the hell man?? Are you seriously going to leave your grieving daughter or her by herself like this?? Shame on you!!

Shaking my head to get rid of those thoughts, I ran towards Akeno who had already gone catatonic and shut out the world around her.

I don’t have much time before the forces I spotted some time ago in the Himejima compound catch up to her.

“Akeno! AKENO!!”

I shook the girl awake, bringing her out of her state and making her stare at me.

“Look, we don’t have much time. Here.”

I pushed the bag I had with me into her hands and forced her to stand up.

The original plan was to warn Akeno and her parents about the incoming attack and have them escape. After that, I would take advantage of the chaos to slip out of the compound as well.

I even had fake IDs and bank accounts made for myself using the Izayoi clan’s resources in secret.

Now, those plans have gone down the drain. However, these assets could prove to be valuable for the stupid but kind girl from now on.

“Take this. Use them sparingly since they won’t last long. Survive, Akeno. Don’t let your mother’s sacrifice be in vain. Go. Run!!”

My shout must have triggered some kind of instinct within her as flooded her body with spiritual power and rushed out while sobbing. A heartbreaking sight for me but one I had to endure since I didn’t want that kid to die in a place like this.

My enhanced senses picked up the hurried footfalls from a distance, alerting me to the incoming forces.

Without wasting any time, I picked up Shuri-san’s body and shot into the distance, heading straight for a small hill located at the edge of the Himejima territory that no one but Shuri-san used to visit since it houses her parent’s grave.

Given the state of the Himejima clan, I cannot trust them to give Shuri-san a proper burial. Hell, I can’t even trust them to not desecrate her body in some twisted form of punishment or something.

That is why, I am going to bury her myself. It is the least I can do for the woman who looked after me like a mother ever since my mom passed away.

It took me nearly an hour to find the place since it was warded to hell and back by Shuri-san and her husband. They must have included me in the wards since I managed to pass through relatively easily despite getting lost a little bit at the beginning.

In the end, I managed to bury her according to the Himejima traditions and placed incense for her.

With the way the wards are set up, it is highly unlikely for anyone to know that she has been buried here.

Now, its time to return to my ‘home’ and start preparing a new plan from scratch.

After watching the kind of lengths these people will go to for their narrow-minded views, there is no way I am going to be a part of these people any longer.
