Gabriel groaned, pushing himself up, but I didn't give him a chance to recover. Leaping into the air, I spun and came down with an ax kick aimed straight for his shoulder. The blow connected, creating a small shockwave, but in his desperation, Gabriel stabbed me in the shoulder with a light spear.

….

Pain shot through me, but I gritted my teeth and snapped the spear, shattering it into glowing fragments. Blood trickled down my arm as I jumped back, immediately activating Observe to assess the situation.

[Observe]

• HP: 7890/12500

Not bad—I had him on the ropes. I gathered my energy and unleashed my next attack.

"Icicle Lance!" I roared.

Three shimmering spears of ice materialized and shot toward him. The first pierced his left shoulder, the second lodged into his right leg, and the third impaled his chest. He staggered, struggling to stay upright.

I wasn't done yet.

"Hell Flare!"

The flames consumed him again, melting the icicles and leaving a pool of water beneath his feet. Smirking, I manipulated the water, causing it to snake up his legs before freezing it solid. Gabriel's movements stopped—his legs now locked in ice.

Summoning my katana, I infused it with flames, channeling magic until the blade ignited with a fierce glow. The fire intensified, burning brighter as it shifted to a blue hue.

One last Observe flashed before my eyes.

[Observe]

• HP: 3459/12500

"This ends now!" I growled, raising the katana high above my head.

"Super Nova Slash!"

A wave of searing flames erupted from the blade as I brought it down, splitting the air with an ear-piercing roar. The attack struck Gabriel head-on, engulfing him in an explosion of fire and light. His form disintegrated into ash, leaving nothing behind but a glowing orb of energy that hovered momentarily before fading away.

[Secret Quest Completed!]

[Secret Quest: Take out an Archangel.]

• Rewards: 10,000 EXP / $20,000 / 2 Skill Books / 2 Mystery Items

I grinned, exhaustion hitting me as the notifications rolled in. Opening my inventory, I checked the new loot.

[Skill Books Acquired!]

• Skill Book: Jeweler – Allows the user to craft and enchant jewelry.

• Skill Book: Alchemist – Grants the ability to create potions and alchemical items.

Would you like to learn these skills?

• Yes / No

I mentally selected Yes, and the knowledge flowed into me instantly. Ideas for new items and potions flooded my mind. My focus then shifted to the two mystery items.

[Inventory]

• Alchemist Set: Complete tools and ingredients required for potion-making.

• Jeweler Set: Equipment for crafting and enchanting magical jewelry.

"Perfect," I muttered, closing the inventory. With this, I was one step closer to building my shop.

I activated Escape Dungeon and returned to my living room, breathing heavily as the transition completed.

….

Elsewhere…

Rias leaned back in her chair, her eyes closed as she spoke. "Yes, he said he has no intention of becoming a devil, but he did promise to help us if we ever needed it."

Sona adjusted her glasses, her expression thoughtful. "I see. Well, I might try my luck with him, then. But why hasn't he or Koneko been coming to school?"

"Koneko told me she had a fever and didn't want to make it worse, so she stayed home," Rias explained with a slight smirk. "And her 'lover boy' decided to stay home and take care of her."

Sona chuckled softly. "That's actually kind of sweet."

"I know, right?" Rias replied, unable to hide her amusement.

….

[Progress Toward Balance Breaker: 34,709 / 500,000 EXP]

I glanced at the progress bar in my interface. Still a long way to go, but I was getting closer. Smiling to myself, I leaned back, already planning my next move.

….

Rias sat across from Sona in the student council room, her fingers gently tapping on the table. The conversation had circled back to the same topic it always did lately—Shiro.

"I can't help but be intrigued by what's inside him," Rias said, her crimson locks falling over her shoulder. "It feels like it's more than just a sacred gear."

Sona adjusted her glasses, her expression thoughtful. "I agree. Even though I've only spoken to him a few times, there's definitely something he's hiding. Whether it's another sacred gear or something else entirely, I can't say. But I do know one thing—he's strong."

Akeno, who was leaning against the nearby desk, smirked as she chimed in. "Not just strong—he also knows magic."

Tsubaki's interest piqued at that. "What kind of magic?"

Rias leaned back slightly as she thought it over. "Fire magic, for starters. I gave him a few books on magic—one dealt with ice, another with lightning, and the last one had something to do with metal manipulation."

"So, he's a magician?" Sona asked, her tone curious but skeptical.

Rias shook her head. "Not exactly. Koneko told me he's very skilled with a sword. Plus, his hand-to-hand combat skills are even better. He's versatile—like a warrior and a mage rolled into one."

"His grades are even higher than ours," Sona pointed out, flipping through a document. "He's smart. Too smart for someone who just transferred here."

"Exactly," Rias said. "Oh, by the way, I found out what Issei's sacred gear is."

Sona looked up. "And?"

"The Boosted Gear."

Sona's eyes widened for a moment before she smirked. "Looks like you've landed yourself a very strong pawn."

Rias allowed herself a proud smile. "Yes, I have."

Sona's expression shifted as she rested her chin on her hand. "This might mean you finally have a way out of that arranged marriage with Riser."

"If it comes down to it, I know my brother will arrange a rating game," Rias said with confidence.

"Well, at least I don't have an arranged marriage hanging over my head," Sona said, standing up.

Rias rolled her eyes but smiled as the conversation shifted topics.
