"Hmmm...", Issei put his hand on his chin as he thought, "I think I got everything, so power is just a sort of... like... an extension to the energy that we already have"
"Yes that's it, when Rias reincarnated you, she gave you an extension of demonic power and opened that door for you to cultivate it. And like you already know, it works like a muscle the more you train by using it the bigger the well becomes. Also just like a baby's muscles grows with time so does your demonic power if you take care of it", Akeno answered with her generic smile.
A magic circle flashed under them and they teleported away.
The magic circle in the middle of the occult research club flashed, and from it walked out three people.
"So basically when I use my powers I just dig into my demonic power reserves and take from it right? So... basically... I CAN make Kamehameha's If I work enough!"
"Well… yeah, but it depends on how much power you have and how well you can control the power leaking out."
"Oh, you were talking about demonic power? How nice," Rias said with a smile. "Asia, come here and listen as well." She walked toward them, her long crimson hair swaying gently behind her with each step.
"Uh... Hello, welcome back", A girl with long blonde hair and green eyes bowed slightly as she welcomed the three people that arrived. The girl was Asia Argento, a former nun and newly reincarnated bishop in the Gremory Familia. She sat comfortably on a sofa, while looking toward Issei.
"We were explaining to Issei how power leakage works and how demonic power works in general", Akeno answered
"Oh? but didn't we discuss this already Issei?", Rias asked, her blue eyes focusing on him. He averted his gaze, he couldn't really tell her that he didn't hear a word of it because he was so focused on her boobs.
"Well it's alright, repeating those important stuff is necessary after all", she said as she patted his head and sat next to him.
"So, yes the amount of demonic power, the amount of leakage and how much your body can sustain are all important factors on how much you can use your powers." Seekvaira finished what Akeno was saying previously.
Rias lifted her hand and the cup of tea that was on her desk flew to her hand, "Another Important factor is Imagination. You need to Imagine what you want to do with your demonic power and will it to work. Understanding the principle behind it is also important, especially when you're casting elemental attacks."
"Yeah I get it, but what is your red power prez? Like I've seen it do crazy stuff, but I can't use it right?", Issei asked.
"Oh, you don't even remember it's name? you silly goof, you should focus more on what I'm saying instead of my breasts".
"NO! I wasn't looking... it's just that... you know...", Issei stumbled on his words causing the girls to chuckle, only Asia was pouting, her cheeks puffed out.
"My power is called, 'Destruction', It's an innate ability of the Bael clan. Most pure-blooded families have their own innate demonic powers that only they can use, it's like their DNA. Another example of innate powers are the Agares clan, Seekvaira's family. Their innate power is called 'Time'"
"Time! so you can control time!?", Issei looked at Seekvaira eyes wide open. Even Asia was taken aback, controlling time wasn't anything to scuff at.
"Yes, our demonic power can control time to a certain extent inside a limited area", Seekvaira answered plainly, without going into too much details.
"Whoaaa! That's awesome, can you like stop stop time and do all sort of perverted stu- OUCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR.", Rias had hit Issei on the back of his head.
"You know I don't really mind when you talk like that, but she doesn't, so I just acted before you were hurt even more", Rias said pointing at Seekvaira, with a slightly amused expression.
Seekvaira didn't say anything she just glared at Issei for a second, "must be hard for you, Rias."
"You don't know the half of it", Rias said while looking teasingly ay Issei.
Suddenly a yellow magic circle flashed in the middle of the clubroom.

Andy,
I finally found time to send you a letter, we finally used the method we prepped for. One, I can't believe you went away without me! What the HELL! why didn't you take me with youu. I'm really pissed off and you're gonna hear about it.
Anyways, a few things happened in the estate in the past few days, first of all, Lord Agares sent Lady Seekvaira to search for you, and he asked Lady Rias Gremory for help because he thought you would have gone somewhere close to her place. I really hope this bitchy seductress of a queen that she have doesn't approach you again.
So while Lady Seekvaira was there, by pure chance, Riser Phenex appeared. It seemed they had a minor dispute and the boosted gear wielder got his ass handed to him by one of Riser's pawns, pretty embarrassing to be honest. Ahh also the Rating Game will happen in 5 days.
Just so you know, Lord Riser also mocked Lady Seekvaira for some reason and cussed you out, which only made the situation worse. Well, you did burn down a part of their forest.
Anyways hope to see you soon.
your favorite maid.
Lynn
"Wow, what a way with words", Adrien whistled as he read the letter that his personal maid, and pawn sent him. "Wait! this bitch ass chicken mocked my sister? I'm gonna stick his feathers inside his butthole the next time I see him, no homo."
Adrien was pissed, he found the letter in his storage when he woke up in the morning. It had been 10 days since he left Agares estate and he hadn't heard about anything that was happening in the devil-world.
"So the demonic power output that I sensed yesterday was Seekvaira's doing huh. Must have been Akeno with her, then."
Adrien put on his uniform and went to school like normal. As he walked through the hall, he saw a short girl with white hair walking with the help of a cane, he glanced at her and kept walking.
The day passed uneventfully, he just spent it working on an idea that he came up with while watching an anime recently.
As he walked toward the exit of the school building, he saw that it was pouring outside
"Shit, it's raining. Damn it, I didn't bring an umbrella". Adrien looked around for a second and saw three first year students talking, a boy that looked way too unhealthy for some reason, and another boy and his girlfriend. He approached the unhealthy boy who had an umbrella in his hand.
"Yo, I'll buy that umbrella from you for 10 thousand yen"
"Deal!", the boy with the girlfriend said in an all too serious voice.
"Wait that's not even yours to begin with."
"It's 10 000 yen dude, that's like 5 times it's price", the girl said.
"Yeah, it's a deal only I would make", Adrien said.
Adrien ended up buying the umbrella from the unhealthy looking kid for 12 500 yen, though he didn't care at all, that wouldn't count as pocket money for him. As he walked toward his apartment, he walked passed a park, but then something caught his eye. He suddenly stopped, and walked backwards. Swinging back and forth on a swing under the rain was a beautiful girl with blonde hair.
Adrien approached the girl and covered her head with the umbrella, the girl slowly raised her head until her golden eyes met his green ones.
"You're gonna end up sick."
"Adrien... please, I just want to be alone for a bit."
"Yeah, not happening." Adrien closed the umbrella and sat on the swing next to her.
"Wait... what are you doing?"
"Might as well join in you in your public rinse."
"But you would become sick."
No he wouldn't but anyways.
"And that'll be your fault, either we go together or we stay here under the rain."
"But…" Mahiru lowered her head. Her conscience would never let her rest if Adrien got sick because of something she did. Logically, it would not be her fault. After all, who was the one who pinched his ass and told him to stand in the rain like that? And could he not have just kept the umbrella open over both of them? Yeah, he could have.
Still, after watching Mahiru for a while, Adrien understood that this way would work best for their current situation. Mahiru was too kind for her own good, and she would blame herself if he got sick, even if it was not really her fault at all.
Mahiru finally stood up, head still lowered, "Okay... let's go."
"Glad to hear it, I really don't like wet clothes". Mahiru sent him a look as if asking, 'who even asked you to get in the rain'.
Adrien opened his umbrella again, and they both walked underneath it, heading to the building where they both lived.
"So, why was the 'angel', sulking under the rain".
"Please, don't call me that, I don't like it."
"Yeah, right? you're way better than those annoying angels, trust me they're very overhyped."
"Pardon?", Mahiru asked looking up at him, Adrien was grinning while reminiscing something. "Um, Adrien?"
"Ah yeah sorry, just remembered something."
"What did you mean earlier?"
"Ahh, that's nothing, just take it as an old sage's monologue."
"You're barely older than me."
They walked in silence for a while before Adrien spoke again.
"You see, I ran away from home," he said. "I come from a very far place, and I left because I felt trapped. So right now, I'm living here undercover."
Mahiru's eyes widened a little, but Adrien kept going.
"They're probably looking for me like crazy. My family is kind of like a royal family, so they expect their children to behave like nobles. But I was a huge troublemaker, so they never gave me much freedom. Well… I guess that makes sense, considering all the stunts I used to pull."
Adrien wasn't lying but also wasn't telling the whole truth, he did leave because he felt trapped but he came here to cause have fun.
"Wait, you're a troublemaker? No, you don't look or act like one," Mahiru said, sounding slightly puzzled. Her bigger-than-average eyes stayed fixed on Adrien's, and that only made him smile.
'She's cute'
"Yeah, I haven't been causing much trouble since I came here, but I would act out on my impulses normally, I just do what my intrusive thoughts tell me to do."
Mahiru suddenly laughed softly, "I didn't expect you to be like that, you're normally a bit pushy yes, but I thought you were instinctively calm."
"If my sister heard you she would have probably cussed you out". That only made Mahiru laugh more, they continued talking while slowly approaching their apartments.
