"Great, time to make the preparations," sighed Morrigan as she returned to the Otherworld, to organized a meeting with Lugh and contact a certain sorceress.

Issei yawned as he awoke from the best sleep he had had in a long time before panicking as he checked the time, only to breathe in relief as he saw that he hadn't slept in. Honestly if he was nearly late again then the Student Council would have his head, and he was in no mood for an eternity of detention.

Stretching the teen climbed out of his bed and glanced once again at the Class Cards spread out on his table, along with that weird flyer from the cosplayer, before placing them in their holder, the Lancer and Archer cards glowing slightly at his touch. Thinking back to the Archer card Issei frowned as he made a mental note to research the legend of Atalanta later, who knows it might help him forge a better connection with the card.

[You're up? About damn time to, I was getting bored waiting for you.]

Upon hearing the male voice Issei instantly grasped the Lancer card from its holder and summoned Gae Bolg, getting into a stance as he searched his room for the intruder. "Come out intruder!" he ordered.

[Relax partner I'm not here to hurt you, in fact I want the exact opposite.]

"Oh really?" scoffed Issei. "Then why don't you come out of hiding and show yourself then?"

[I'm not hiding partner, just look at your damned fist. It really shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.]

Frowning Issei did as the voice said and was surprised to see the Boosted Gear suddenly appear on his arm unannounced. Then the voice started talking again and Issei just watched as the gem lite up with every word, his brain refusing to comprehend what its senses were telling it.

[See partner not that hard to understand is it? I am the Red Dragon Emperor or Welsh Dragon, but my hosts refer to me as Ddraig.]

"Nope," replied Issei as he dismissed Gae Bolg and placed the card back into its holder. "My hand isn't talking to me, I'm not hearing voices and I'm going to get a cat scan on the weekend."

[I don't know whether to be insulted or amused by this. Still at least my current host is an interesting one and for once, I have company to watch with me.]

Issei just ignored the mumblings of the 'imaginary' dragon and continued getting changed into his Kuoh academy uniform before heading down to make breakfast. His dad arrived shortly after as the smell of the meal began wafting throughout the house, making both the house's inhabitant's stomach rumble loudly before they devoured their breakfast.

[Oi partner I know you're not listening to me but I thought I'd let you know that you're late for class again.]

Issei just froze mid bite before he slowly looked at the kitchen clock and spotted the time, 'that's not possible the clock in my room said I had heaps of time left!'

"Oh Issei I forgot to tell you that I messed up your clock," stated his father, obliviously.

"You what?!" cried Issei in horror.

"Well I was trying to set an alarm on it so you wouldn't keep being late to class," he replied.

[Partner, your luck truly is incredible.]

Issei just growled at his new partner before leaping up from the table and grabbing his bag, wasting no time as the teen bolted out of the door and rushed towards school. In his rush to beat the clock Issei failed to notice his body performing feats of parkour that it certainly wasn't capable of doing before, nor did he notice the Archer card glowing slightly from within its holder.

However even with this newfound skill the teen cried as he saw Kuoh Academy's gates closing in the distance as the last bell rung. Trapped outside the teen sighed in defeat before something caught his eye, looking at the side of the school wall he saw a large tree branching over the barrier and smiled.

"Maybe Kaichou won't put me in detention after all," he grinned as he climbed up the tree before swinging himself over the wall and gave a cheer as he landed safely on his feet.

"Impressive work Hyoudou-san but in the future you might want to check your surroundings next time before you celebrate," commented a female voice, which caused Issei to freeze as he slowly turned around.

Souna Shitori just glared at him with cold eyes as she marked his name off the list, "late for nearly three consecutive weeks. This must be a new record."

"Kaichou there's a perfectly good explanation for this," replied Issei.

Souna nodded, "I'm sure there is and you can me all about it in detention."

"You mean you're holding the session personally?" he questioned, fearfully.

The teen's face just paled as he remembered the last detention he'd had with the Student Council President and he immediately feel to his knees, "Kaichou isn't there something else, anything but that?"

"My decision is final Hyoudou-san, I'll be seeing you in detention," she replied, stiffly and caused Issei to slump to the ground as his last hope disappeared.

[Oi partner, if you want out of this then just do exactly as I say.]

Blinking as his new 'imaginary' friend explained to him what to do Issei nodded and just did as he was told; after all, it couldn't get any worse than it already was. "Kaichou what if we made a bet?" he offered.

"A bet?" repeated Souna with raised eyebrows.

Issei nodded, "if I win you let me off the hook this time."

"And if I win?" she replied, obviously curious as to what he had in mind.

"I know you've been looking for people to help with the parent's day coming up, if you win I'll help set up the decorations and act as staff during the event," he answered, causing Souna's eyes to gain a worrying gleam.

"Very well but under one condition," proposed the Student Council President.

"What's that?" replied Issei, eager to escape his detention.

Souna just gave a small smirk, "I get to decide the game."

[Be careful partner she'll have the ad-]

"Sure so what are we playing?" agreed Issei, ignoring Ddraig whom sighed in disappointment.

The president's smile grew tenfold, "tell me Hyoudou-san, how good are you at chess?"

"I wonder what he did this time?" whispered a student.

"Lucky bastard getting punished personally by Kaichou herself," growled another.

"Yeah going into her office for their own punishment time, who knew those two were into that kind of thing?" replied a third student.
