I'm Very Confident in My Marksmanship

Rias was not satisfied with this result. After resting on the ground for a while and recovering most of her magic power, she gathered her strength for a second attack.

Ren glanced at the screen a couple of times, then pulled out his phone and started scrolling through videos, watching the girls train.

It must be said that Rias does indeed have great potential.

The destructive range of the Power of Destruction was increased by a very small margin in both instances.

Although Rias's strength is not high at present, and it can even be said that she is still in the nascent stage with extremely unstable combat power, Ren remembers that in the anime, she, Akeno Himejima, Koneko and others went to fight a plant-type monster. As a high-level demon, she not only failed to kill it in an instant, but was also grabbed by tentacles, and her clothes were dissolved by an unknown liquid.

Although they eventually managed to eliminate it, they were in a very sorry state.

Later in the story, there's a plot involving dealing with an awakened ancient mummy, where the protagonist is again forced to perform an Egyptian erotic dance before the incident is resolved.

As for her subsequent experiences, Rias showed little enthusiasm for training, and most of the events had to be resolved by the male protagonist, the Red Dragon Emperor, while she could only fight off some henchmen.

If we were to change her personality, she'd probably end up with the same personality as Rias's current fiancé, Riser, and we'd completely ruin it.

Fortunately, Rias realized her mistake and returned to the right path.

Ren only gave him a casual lesson, yet he made progress. This ability alone is astonishing and enough to surpass the vast majority of pure-blooded high-ranking demons in the Underworld.

Putting everything else aside.

Since her brother reached the level of a Transcendent with his Power of Destruction, Rias's talent couldn't be low either.

If one could completely master the Power of Destruction, even if one didn't become a transcendent being, reaching at least the level of Serafall would be more than enough.

Although Ren didn't have any particularly good advice for Rias, her method of training Power of Destruction was to increase its magnitude and power, which was completely different from the technique-based Sirzechs. Therefore, it wasn't impossible for her to increase the power of her Power of Destruction if she put in the effort.

This is just like an ordinary person practicing swordsmanship.

At the beginning, we definitely won't learn any fancy tricks, but will start with the most basic sword swing movements and the number of swings.

The proficiency gained from swinging a sword once is completely different from that gained from swinging it ten thousand times.

After shifting his attention away from Rias, Ren, now with some free time, finally got to focus on watching short videos.

However, he soon felt a finger poking his back.

Looking back, I saw a cardboard box with two holes cut out.

"I smell a NEET vibe."

"Um... Mr. Ren, I... I don't want to be a shut-in anymore! I've decided to change!"

Gasper's muffled, weak voice came from inside the cardboard box; it sounded like he was about to cry at any moment.

"I... I want to become stronger too! I want to train! To become as strong as the club president and senior student Akeno."

"So... Mr. Ren, could you... could you give me special training?"

"I heard you, shut-in. If you want to master your own power, you need to follow your heart."

"?"

Gasper looked somewhat bewildered.

Have you heard this phrase somewhere before?

Chapter 149 I'm very confident in my marksmanship

Chapter 149

However, unlike Rias, Gasper didn't improve at all even after holding it in for more than ten minutes.

Seeing how poorly the shut-in was performing, Ren decided to increase the intensity of his workout.

Although it was just a casual remark made out of interest that day, it still made Gasper change in some way.

Considering Akeno Himejima and Rias, Ren felt it would be better if he could lend a hand.

"In that case, I'll create a special training plan for you."

Ren put away his phone, then looked around before pulling out his Desert Eagle, which he hadn't used in a long time, from his storage space.

"We'll have to wait a while to buy a Jeep, so we'll have to make do with the gun in the meantime."

As he said this, he pointed the gun at Gasper was huddled inside the cardboard box.

Although Gasper is a shut-in, he still has common sense.

Gasper knew very well what Ren was holding, thanks to the knowledge he had accumulated from playing games.

It doesn't feel plasticky and has a dazzling metallic sheen in the sunlight.

It's clearly not just for show.

With a gun pointed at him, Gasper asked in a trembling voice and with a fearful expression, "Mr. Ren... what are you doing with that gun?"

"This is part of the special training program."

Ren skillfully ejected the magazine, checked its full load of.50AE caliber bullets, then chambered a round and aimed at a pine cone on a tree fifty meters away.

Bang--!

Sparks flew from the muzzle, and the bullet, propelled by the gunpowder, shot out of the barrel in an instant, spiraling through the air and shattering the pine nuts.

The sudden gunshot startled Gasper and the other girls.

If Gasper hadn't felt safe hiding in the cardboard box, he probably would have screamed already.

"How... how do we do special training?"

Gasper swallowed hard.

"It's simple. I'll shoot you, and you just run. But you're not allowed to run into crowds or leave the barrier. You can run however you want anywhere else."

After speaking, Ren turned the gun around and aimed it at Gasper.

At that moment, Gasper's hair stood on end, and his brain frantically issued warnings.

"Huh? This... this won't do, will it?"

Gasper's face turned ashen; he had never heard of this kind of training method before!

"Don't worry, my marksmanship is excellent. As for the effect, scientists have already studied it. Humans often unleash amazing potential in life-or-death situations. Although you are not human, you are a demon and a vampire, so your talent should be even better. Therefore, when facing danger, there is a very high probability that you will break through your limitations and have an epiphany, and you might even unlock your genetic lock."

Upon hearing Ren's words, Gasper inside the cardboard box widened his eyes.

They actually wanted to shoot him? Isn't that playing with people's lives?!

Even though he's not human, a vampire's life is still a life!

"Um, Mr. Ren, could I... could I request a different training method? I really think Jeep is quite good..."

Because of extreme fear, even his speech became punctuated by verbal tics.

However, Gasper quickly realized something terrifying.

If Mr. Ren can even come up with this kind of training method, wouldn't the training related to Jeeps be the same?

"Don't rush, Jeep training is also an essential part of the experience. Run it for one minute first, and I'll come find you right away."

"What if you get injured?"

"It's alright. With Asia and me here, even if someone loses an arm or a leg, we can save them."

Seemingly having heard her name, Asia waved to Ren from a distance.

"Run! The one-minute countdown has begun!"

"That's what Ren said."

"Can... can I change it? Waaah..."

"Crying? Crying also takes time."

Upon hearing this, Gasper had no choice but to bite the bullet and hide inside the cardboard box, running away into the distance.

He didn't know where to run, but running was the right thing to do.

Moreover, the countdown from Ren behind him sounded like a death knell, making Gasper run even faster.

"The countdown is over~~~"

After saying that, Ren fired a shot in Gasper's direction.

The two were only two hundred meters apart, a distance from which Ren could easily hit him on the head.

However, Ren would not do that, so he simply aimed at Gasper's feet and fired.

The bullets hit the dust, and the flying pebbles struck Gasper, making him scream and run away while yelling.

While Ren was having a great time, Rias was taking a break, walked up behind him.

Watching Gasper running and crying amidst stray bullets, he said with some disapproval, "Isn't this too dangerous?"

However, Ren chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very confident in my marksmanship. If I aim for the small head, I won't hit the big head. Even if a small stone hits me, it will only hurt for a moment."

"And the reason he's like this now is mainly because you've protected him too well."

"If he can hold on, he will definitely be the strongest member among you at this stage."

Gasper is not merely a holder of the Sacred Gear, but rather the reincarnation of a fragment of the consciousness of the Celtic demon god Balor. Therefore, the Sacred Gear "Forbidden Balor View" can only be reincarnated into him.

If the power of a demon god is awakened in the future, and it is fused with Sacred Gear, it can be upgraded into Longinus, which is pure cheating.

"I see."

Rias nodded knowingly, and the worry on her face disappeared.

However, seeing Ren's smiling face, I always felt that he was just using the special training to tease Gasper for fun.

In fact, most of the reasons were indeed as she thought.

But since nothing serious is going to happen, Rias doesn't plan to interfere any further.

After all, Ren's training methods were indeed effective; just a few hours of training had already made her feel an increase in her own magical power.

The only cost is that it's a bit tiring.

And so, while shooting at the screaming Gasper, Ren chatted with Rias.

"By the way, what do you know about Grayfia Lucifuge?"

"Your Excellency?"

Rias was somewhat surprised, wondering why Ren would suddenly ask about this person.

However, since it wasn't a secret, Rias told everything she knew.

"She is the regent in charge of assisting the Four Great Satans of our Underworld. She is responsible for issuing policies large and small, and her position is equivalent to that of the prime minister of an ancient human dynasty."

This alone makes it different from the original series.

"I've heard that the Lucifuge Family used to be a family that served the Demon King Lucifer, so what kind of relationship do they have with Sirzechs now? Is it something special?"

Upon hearing this question, Rias looked at Ren with a puzzled expression.

I didn't expect you to be so gossipy.

Rias chuckled softly, "That was a long time ago. The Lucifuge Family is now a noble family and doesn't need to serve Lucifer, my brother. Actually, a long time ago, Lady Grayfia and my brother did have some rumors circulating about them. At that time, Lady Grayfia was a vanguard of the Old Maou Faction, while my brother was a vanguard of the Reformist Faction, so they did have some competition on the battlefield, but that was all."

"I've asked my brother about things like romance and affection, but he's always denied it."

Chapter 150 Rias's Decision

Chapter 150

Rias's description was completely different from what Ren knew.

However, since even the protagonist, the Red Dragon Emperor, is nowhere to be seen, it's understandable that the storyline of Grayfia, a supporting character in the original work, has been changed.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

Because of prior communication, Rias brought a bento box that had been prepared in advance.

Asia and Lavinia, who were not required to participate in training, helped set up the sunshade. After training, everyone gathered together to eat.

After resting for a while in the afternoon, everyone resumed training.

As the sun was about to set, Ren announced that the day's training was over.

Upon hearing this voice, Gasper felt as if it were heavenly music.
