Issei himself didn't realise how he had gotten himself into this mess. Seemingly having made an incredible plan with his new partner, the talking glove...

I'M NOT A TALKING GLOVE, YOU IDIOT!

...and now he's ready to face the Gods. But no such luck. The city was in chaos. Houses were burning, cars were honking, and there were battles between magical creatures that Issei had only known about in children's books. And now...everything was real. This whole world of madness - that was happening in front of Hyodo's eyes - is real....

Why haven't law enforcement arrived yet? Oh yeah, I guess the demons or whatever did it...

Issei doesn't know if President Rias Gremory is involved, but the guy thinks not. Ddraig, on the other hand, only snorted at his host's words at the time. Probably subconsciously, Issei still couldn't classify Rias and the others as demons. After all, they looked like humans. Exactly the same, you couldn't even tell the difference.

But Issei didn't care about that right now. Who's his mistress or whatever. Even though Issei gets a little disgusted at the thought of someone being his mistress. He's independent! He's free! He's...well, incredibly cool!

YEAH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT! FREE THE PARROTS!

But there's nothing to be done about it. Even though Issei doesn't know what the Evil Figure is in him, but Dragon briefly told him about it. And what Dragon told didn't really please Issei. He didn't want to believe to the end that he was reincarnated simply because he has a Sacred Mechanism. He doesn't want to believe that he's just being used. He doesn't want to believe that he'll be amongst the crowd again....

THE FREEDOM OF THE PARROT...UGH! FREEDOM FOR THE TRUE DRAGONS! LET ANARCHY PREVAIL! OR DEMOCRACY?! I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE TIME...OH, THAT'S RIGHT, FOR THE TSAR!

Issei ran to the Church to save Asia. He won't just let it go that his newly arrived girlfriend will be killed by taking away the Sacred Mechanism. That's what Dragon told him again, by the way. He had told him about a lot of things in general. What an interesting and diverse world lurked in the shadows of mere ludas!

Hyodo ran over to the Cervki, which Asiyah had been planning to go to from the beginning before meeting him. He's just one hundred per cent sure she's there. Even though it's silly to be sure.....

- She's there, partner. I can feel her...

Though no, cancellation, not silly at all. When Dragon personally confirmed his suspicions, all is well!

Another rumbling noise made him turn around. Dragon's sense of smell, as he called this ability, began to trumpet danger. Issei stopped, stood behind one of the trees nearby, and stood

BEHIND, PARTNER-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O....

Hyodo flew a few dozen metres somewhere to the side. Before he reached the tree trunk, he fell to the ground and started breathing deeply. This blow had knocked his breath away, and he still needed to get his lazy arse up and fight back against the stranger.

...YO-YO-YO-YO-YO-YOR. OH, THAT'S IT. WELL, THAT'S IT, YOU'RE ASPHALT ON THE GROUND, KID. BUT YOU HANG IN THERE. I'VE ALREADY PUT A CANDLE ON IT, PARTNER.

No sooner had the lad risen than he sensed a new creature on the hillside where the battle was taking place. Out of the bushes came a huge monster that resembled a wolf, only more massive and on two legs.

- IT'S A WEREWOLF, YOU IDIOT!

Oh, I see. I don't care what it is, though. I'm scared!

The monster was about to run towards him, but....

Issei didn't even realise what had happened. The werewolf started to run towards him, but suddenly something flashed brightly, causing the guy to squeeze his eyes shut, and when the flash passed, the monster had already fallen. But now without a head.

- Get out of here, boy,' Issei looked up at the woman's voice from above, and felt his manhood swell with blood.

The purple short skirt allowed him to look at her gorgeous legs and thighs, and the tight jacket of the same colour did not prevent him from looking at her huge breasts.

They were held up by the last little button and were about to come off, but unfortunately for the guy, they didn't. Her long blue hair fluttered in the wind and her amber eyes glittered predatorily in the darkness.

In her hand was a golden two-handed spear with both ends sharp. Behind her back were four pairs of black wings with feathers. These were exactly what Yuma had when she revealed her true identity to the guy.

Really, Yuma had three pairs of....

- 'Don't look at me, you lustful ape,' the Fallen One said contemptuously, glaring at the guy in a way that made Issei's main weapon no longer rise...

- Like you called me...

- I don't care what I called you. Get out of here already,' Fallen waved her hand, flying in directions unknown to Issei. But the boy thought she was going to go on crushing werewolves.

- Tz, she's so...so...so,' Issei clenched his fists, 'Just a sex bomb! How on earth does the earth keep people like that? How much food did she eat to grow such tits! - Issei shouted across the clearing, gesticulating with his hands.

AND IN OUR SOVIET TIMES THERE WERE NO SUCH PEOPLE! WHORES AND SLUTS! BLEEP!

- Can I have her in my harem? - Issei thought seriously about it, but immediately exploded. - Wait, what the hell is a harem?! She's that...winged bitch like Yuma. Now I see why that sex bomb with the incredible tits and hips is a fallen woman. Are all fallen women like that? If so, then...hehehehehe, hehehehehe....

Issei started laughing lustfully on the run that he almost tripped. Hyodo headed straight to the very top of the hill, which was where the Church where Assei was being held was located.

To the lad's surprise, no one met him.

That's great!

Issei mentally summoned the Dragon for help, and he immediately incarnated as a red glove with a green stone on his hand. The boy immediately felt confident in his abilities. Along with him was the Dragon, who had scared away the Gods in the past with his mere appearance!

I'll smash those winged sexy bombshells!

Issei didn't pay much attention to the exterior of the Church. Well, a church is just like a church. It was white, with different designs and a golden dome on top. But inside, things were not so rosy.

There were winged sex-bombs...ugh, the fallen!

And already inside, he was not greeted by anyone again. Which once again surprised the bloke!

- There's something wrong here, partner,' came a growling voice in Issei's head, while the green stone on his glove grew brighter for a moment.

- What is it? - Hyodo asked, looking around at the benches and the various paintings around him.

- I don't know, partner. I don't know. There's a very...unusual barrier here.....

Issei felt uneasy. His confidence slowly began to fade. Even a thousand-year-old Dragon didn't know what was going on around him, let alone a seventeen-year-old boy.

- Did you come for your girlfriend after all? - A mocking voice came from behind the altar, where an underground passage opened.

From there, the same stunning beauty emerged, wearing a vulgar black suit that covered only the most revealing parts of her gorgeous body.

- Yuma,' Issei hissed furiously.

- I decided that I wouldn't wait for you there,' Reynal nodded towards the underground passage, 'I decided that we should finish this as soon as possible and so....

- Where's Asiye, you slut?! - Issei shouted, unknowingly using Ddraig's enhancement.

- I started the ritual without you,' Reynal smiled, ignoring the boy's words.

Now Issei wished he had started his training in magic sooner. Perhaps he could have seen it coming...

The altar on which stood a statue in the form of an Angel with two wings behind it disappeared, and in its place appeared Asia, tied to a cross. Her golden hair covered her face, and she herself was in a motionless state. A circle had been formed beneath her body, from which a powerful magic emanated.

Issei realised with horror what it was.

- Ashiya! - Shouted Hyodo, but the girl didn't respond.

- Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that I finished everything without you,' Reynal giggled, and in her hand appeared a small bright green ball, from which emanated a powerful Aura.

Issei widened his eyes. Assia had shown him her Power. He had seen her. He had seen her help a boy who had banged his knee on a slide. He saw it now...

Just not from Asia anymore.

- Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it, kid. That's the way of the magical world. If you're weak, you're left with nothing. And if you're strong,' Reynal grinned, ignoring Issei's frantic stare at the altar. - Then you're right...

Issei took a step.

- Issei? - Issei asked hoarsely, hoping to see her bright smile again. To hear her lovely angelic voice again. To look into her emerald eyes again....

Nothing...

Asiye continued to stare at the floor, and Issei still couldn't see her face.

- I'm sorry, Issei, but it seems...there won't be a next time....

The chains from the altar disappeared, and Asiye began to fall to the floor. And Issei continued to stare at her falling body. He was paralysed to do anything.

Here she hit the marble tiles squarely with her forehead, and Issei continued to stare at her with goggle eyes. He didn't even pay attention to the fact that Reynal had already flown up to the ruined roof of the building and continued to watch him from there.

- Asia... Asia...

Here, Issei touched her hand. He shuddered. The hand was cold...

Issei was breathing calmly, but something...strange....

It was as if something was holding him back from showing any sincere emotion outwardly. Inside, he had already cursed Reynal a thousand times and screamed for help just as many times, but to repeat that in life...

It wasn't working...

Here he took her, laying her head against his chest. Here Issei pulled the hair away from her face and saw a drop....

He put his other hand to her face and felt...

His own tears...

- So he broke the seal? - Reynal whispered in surprise so that even Issei heard her, but he paid no attention.

He heard a stomping from somewhere from behind him. Issei didn't even turn around. He 'felt' who was standing there.

After a few seconds of inaction, Issei decided to turn around after all. He took Asiye's hands in his and saw the shocked facial expressions of Rias Gremori's entourage with her at the head.

Wait, the entourage...

The thought flashed as suddenly in the guy's mind as it appeared....

- President,' a voice came from the boy, calm and husky, but even more frightening, "You can," hope settled in his chest. - You can save her. Like me. With the help of the Figures of Evil? You can, can't you?!

Rias didn't answer anything, but continued to look at Asia's body with a concerned look. Afterwards, she faintly grimaced, whether from disappointment or from her servant's pain, no one knows....

- Issei, I can't,' Rias's sad voice announced the silence. Already her servants wanted to object, but immediately took a steady stance and looked at Issei with glassy eyes.

Rias pressed her lips together, lowering her head down.

Kiba lowered his sword, Koneko stared indifferently at the guy, and Akeno put her hands behind her back and stared at the floor.

Issei stopped before reaching Rias five metres away.

- But...why? - Issei asked sincerely. Does she have some kind of restriction? Or has she run out of Figures?

- 'She has no Sacred Mechanism, my dear Issei,' Rias took a step, but didn't look up. - She's useless...

Issei widened his eyes.

- What?

No Sacred Mechanism? Useless? Then why did she resurrect me...''

A hunch pierced Issei's head.

Because I have the Sacred Mechanism. And not just any Mechanism - the Longinus, a weapon that can kill Gods. She resurrected me because I'd be useful to her? Because I have the Sacred Mechanism? And the common people... don't care? Nobody cares?

In the short time he'd known demons, Issei had sincerely believed that President Rias was really kind. Not like the others. Not like Yuma. That's how friendly she was with her entourage - which she called family - that's how she interacted with him. Welcoming, friendly - not like the others.

But here's one incident...

And the true face for real....

- 'Let her go, Ise,' Rias began affectionately, raising her bright red eyes to the boy. - She's just one of trillions. She's just like the others. Ise, you have Akeno, Koneko, and me. Let's go home, my dear Ise....

When the enemy's will is broken, it's easiest to manipulate his mind and influence his psyche. Rias took advantage of this, she didn't even pay attention to the fallen woman who continued to watch her efforts with a smile.

Rias was sure that the fallen one had put a curse on her servant, which was the reason why he couldn't fully release his emotions. By influencing the mind, she can tap into the guy's most blatant desires and desires by finding out what the fallen one had placed the curse on.

Curses are an incredibly nasty art in magic. It's poorly studied, so there's no telling exactly how to properly get rid of it. But Rias needed to be taken home now, and then call her brother who could remove the curse.

Issei, on the other hand, did not react to Rias' words in any way.

A wild, unfathomable, animalistic... began to rise in his chest.

Rage...

- Why...

You will be used, partner. Demons, humans, fallen, yes even angels, they will all use you because of what you possess...

They will manipulate you, but I will try to do something to save you in your time of need...

Issei turned away from Rias, who darted her eyes at him. Hyodo placed Asiyu on the bench and turned to Gremory.

She recoiled from the guy with her eyes goggling in fear.

- You...

The pupil in Issei's brown eyes went vertical....

The green stone on his glove glowed even brighter....

- How could you... Issei, calm down, I'm ordering you! - Rias shouted, concentrating the Power of Destruction in her right hand.

Issei took a step forward...

Blood began to pound furiously through his veins...

His heart was pounding like a car engine....

- The same...

- Koneko, Kiba! - Rias called out to her servants, who immediately stood in front of the Mistress. - Akeno, the barrier!

Akeno obediently created a barrier around their little skirmish.

Rias now decided to take more serious measures. She began to concentrate on Issei's Figure...

Issei felt an incredible pain in his chest, causing him to cry out and fall to his knees.

- I'm sorry, Issei, but I have no other choice,' Rias sighed.

It was as if Issei didn't even hear Rias' words. He just stood up...and kept walking.....

- What?! How?!' Rias was genuinely surprised.

Issei looked directly at Gremory. So wild was the desire to kill in Issei's eyes that Rias almost fell over in fear.

Hyodo stretched out his left arm....

- Reinforcement! Reinforcement! Reinforcement! Reinforcement! Reinforce!

- Kiba, you're my shield! Koneko, knock him out!

- Aye! The Rias servants responded in unison.

- Reinforcements! Reinforcements! - A bright red orb appeared in Issei's hand.

The expression on his face was detached and his gaze was so maddening that he wanted to be in his parents' warm embrace so they could tell him it was just a nightmare....

- DRAGON POOSH...

Before Issei could utter the rest of his technique, Koneko was behind him and knocked the guy out with a blow to the head.

Issei's Sacred Mechanism disappeared, and the guy himself fell face-first onto the floor. Rias exhaled.

- What on earth had happened? Why didn't the mind and figure effects work? - Rias whispered and remembered that there was a guest here. She looked up, there was no one on the roof anymore.

- Akeno, take Issei home! Put a barrier around his house and then go back to the Club.

- Yes, President,' Akeno bowed and took Issei's carcass behind her back. She created a teleportation circle and disappeared.

- Follow me,' Rias commanded, feeling lousy. What was it like to communicate with her servants when you knew you could control their every move.

They won't even remember this incident....

- Bingo!

***

In Issei's room, the bright red circle of the House of Gremory lit up. After a bright flash, Akeno appeared there with a weight on her shoulder.

Akeno placed Issei on the bed and turned her attention to the furnishings in the room. There were dirty clothes piled in one corner, and in another corner were various pornographic magazines.

All over the room were various posters of beautiful girls in bikinis, or even naked. Some of the ones that were too raunchy were even covered by a homemade small curtain. Probably so their parents wouldn't see...

Akeno felt someone's eyes on her. She turned around and saw a black kitty with golden eyes sitting on four paws near the door to Issei's room.

Suddenly the kitty disappeared in a puff of smoke and instead a beautiful girl with black hair and the same colour eyes stood in front of Akeno.

She was wearing a black kimono with a yellow obi with bells emphasising her perfect waist. The kimono was open at the top of her body, exposing part of her magnificent breasts to everyone's attention.

On the top of her head were cat ears, indicating that this girl was not of the human race exactly.

Two black ponytails peeked out from behind her back, wagging contentedly from side to side at the sight of Akeno. The new guest smiled cheerfully.

- Hello, Akeno, nya,' the catwoman immediately found herself in front of Akeno and buried her head firmly in her soft chest.

- P-Hi, Kuroka,' Akeno would probably never get used to this greeting, but she wouldn't lie - she liked it...

They first met in one of his castles at a training session led by his Queen. Then she had brazenly shown them how insignificant they were...

Akeno was a rather withdrawn and closed girl back then, no one wanted to accept her because of the Figure in her. Even though the Gremory trusted the Queen of Rias, but something could have clicked in their 'smart' heads that would have caused them to check the girl out and that was it...

She made notes in her head then about future mates or perhaps friends, and immediately noted to herself that she and Kuroka were too different to be friends. But here, after training...

- Hey, Akeno, do you want to go for a walk?

Just like that. Just like that, she brazenly and uncompromisingly suggested that Akeno go for a walk. The half-breed didn't even know how to react to such a thing, since she had never been treated like that. But Kuroka found her own answer by taking her hand and leading her along.

Since then, Akeno and Kuroka have been friends. Yes, Akeno doesn't fully understand what friendship is, but she thinks it's what it should be. Like her and Kuroka.

A girl who can only charm men with her looks and smile seductively while giving out vulgarities doesn't know what friendship is....

- It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Akeno, nya,' Kuroka pressed her friend even more tightly against her chest, 'How are you? How are you? How is that boy? How is my sister? Tell me, Akeno. Tell me, nya! - Kuroku pulled her friend away from her chest and stared straight into Akeno's eyes.

Akeno only laughed lightly at that.

- Let's get to the point, Kuroka,' Akeno smiled, not really wanting to answer the question about her sister. If she answered the truth, then the nekomata, disregarding his orders, would destroy the House of Gremory...

- Oh, yes, I'm sorry,' Kuroka perked up, 'But we don't have much time. Why don't we meet somewhere in a coffee shop in Balagor territory? Or Dinari? How about tomorrow, nya? I mean today. Now it's...it's 2 a.m., nya! - I almost screamed when I saw what time it was.

- Yes, we'll meet, but later. Right now you know...I can't,' Akeno replied with her head down, though deep down she was glowing with happiness because of meeting her friend, but she didn't show it much outwardly.

So much she had been changed by living in the shadow of her own emotions. So much she had been changed by living at Gremory's.....

- Oh, that's right,' Kuroka was upset, causing the cat's ears to hang down, 'You should be on your way back now. Rias will be looking for you, nya,' Kuroka continued in a serious tone, but the frustrated "nya" was hardly indicative of the seriousness of this amazing girl.

- Of course we'll see each other again, Kuroka, nya,' Akeno smiled brightly, mimicking her friend, causing her to pout her lips "resentfully," but the sparkle of amusement in her eyes said otherwise.

- Kuroka walked over to the sleeping boy, but Akeno just smiled even more and disappeared into the teleportation circle.

Kuroka walked right up to the guy and started sniffing him.

- Yes, it's already the second stage of the Sacred Mechanism, nya,' Kuroka said aloud, 'And the Dragon Aura is already flowing from you. But I'm sorry, my Lord's Aura is much more powerful than yours. So I can't be yours, nya, because I already belong to the strongest, nya! - Kuroka raised her fist up, -And we will have many, many strong children who will rule this world in the future! And then we'll make more kitten babies, and then more, and more...and more, and more, nya! - Kuroka became a tomato, and steam was already coming out of her ears.

She shook her head, warding off any vulgar thoughts.

- Hmm, so, you didn't hear anything, got it? - Issei remained silent. - Silence is a sign of agreement, nya. Here, if you tell someone, then I...then I...oops...

Kuroka flushed again, and her hand reached down to her crotch. To her wet crotch.

- Damn, nya,' Kuroka began to breathe frequently, taking hold of the bottom of her kimono, 'Here it goes again. This time, Master, you're not getting away from me, nya! - Kuroka spoke out resolutely, straightening her back.

She put her hand right up to the guy's head.

- The first part is on me, nya. The rest is up to you, Dragon,' Kuroka said mentally, closing her eyes.

- Yes!' came a growling voice in Kuroka's head.

It wasn't long until the denouement....

***

When Kimimaro woke up, it was pouring rain. It was hitting the water surface of the lake like a military recruitment centre, causing Kimimaro's ears to ring slightly. How could he have fallen asleep here? And how long had he even been here?

Kimimaro stood up, cleaned his clothes with mana, and turned his attention back to the frowning sky. The rain immediately began to whip down his cheeks, sometimes getting in his eyes. But the fringes sticking to his forehead saved Kimimaro.

Was he doing the right thing? Should he continue on this path of madness? Or is it something he doesn't understand? Does he need to do something about it? How to keep fighting for what is wrong. And the most important question of all, how to sp...

Before Kimimaro could finish his thought, he immediately felt someone else's presence. He wouldn't have felt it at all, if it weren't for centuries of training and battles that had given him a keen eye for interesting people coming up behind him.

A figure stepped out from behind the trees. It wore a long cloak that dragged on the ground, but it was not dirty. The cloak was completely dry, as the rain - it seemed to Kimimaro from the outside - had bypassed the figure without even touching it. The cloak covered all parts of his body, and the hood covered half of his face, but it was hard to tell anything about the creature from his lips.

Kaguya sensed no danger from the arrival. But he was already circulating mana throughout his body, immediately preparing to put on his bone armour and attack his opponent.

His face was impassive, maximum concentration and focus - Kimimaro was ready to rush at his opponent right now. But something was holding him back. This was getting nowhere!

Kaguya watched the arrival carefully, tried to follow the movement of his hands under his cloak, the slightest movement of his lips on his pale face - all to no avail. It felt like it was a soulless living dead man. Like Leila...

Kimimaro created a bone sword from his hand and squeezed it harder. It helped him concentrate better and gather his thoughts. He felt more confident this way. When a swordsman had a sword in his hand, no one could stop him. Right now, however, that was a dubious statement.

It was as if the figure was floating, not walking. No matter how much mana he poured into his ears for more sensitive hearing, Kimimaro heard no footsteps, no rustling of clothes - nothing!

- 'Child,' came a voice echoing from the figure, 'Tell me, who are you?

Kimimaro was slightly taken aback by such a question. It wasn't what he expected to hear.

- Some stranger is asking me in my territory,' Kimimaro decided to take a different route, 'I don't know who you are. Introduce yourself and I'll identify myself too.

The figure was silent for a while, but it didn't stop swimming towards Kimimaro. It was making Kaguya tense. But the stranger was already heading in his direction much slower than before.

- The Wanderer, the Giver, the Gifted One, the Messenger - I have many nicknames, child. And I know who I am. But who you are, even you don't know,' Kimimaro seemed to hear a great many people around him. They were all coming in his direction to...why?

- I am Kimimaro Ka.

- Lies!' the figure said in the same cold, detached tone.

But there was no emotion in those words - absolute calm.

Kimimaro shuddered again.

- You are but a speck of the entire Universe. You are only a part of something bigger. You are a nobody. You don't know who you are....

- My name is Kimimaro Kaguya! - Lelouch's horse challenged, not noticing how quickly he was losing concentration.

He was starting to get annoyed by that calm voice, as if he was sure of everything he was saying. Partly Kimimaro began to understand his opponents - they too were constantly angry with him.

- 'And you are wrong again, child,' the figure continued to float towards him, and Kimimaro produced a second sword in his hand, 'The property has no name - only a target.

Kimimaro recoiled a step back, nearly falling over. What exactly the creature wanted to say with that, no one knows. But Kimimaro understood the meaning of those words in his own way.

- No!' he gripped his swords tighter, 'I am not his property! I am Kimimaro Kaguya, Horse of the God-Emperor and his me-.

- And that's the truth, child,' Why Kimimaro still hasn't attacked - he doesn't know himself, 'You are a simple and weak child who doesn't understand the true meaning of his words.

Kimimaro began to tense every bit of his body, straining every muscle in his body.

- From words, the world was created. Words are limitless power in the hands of mere beings. And throwing them away for nothing is not a good idea, child....

Kimimaro has had enough of this. Now he is completely calm and focused. Now he is ready...

No sooner had Kimimaro taken a step than an incredibly huge shadow covered him for a moment, then suddenly disappeared. Kimimaro's hands involuntarily trembled. He had only felt this kind of power from...Master. No, this Power was much stronger than what Lelouch had once thrown out.

- You are in doubt, child,' the figures' voices did not change, nor did their gait, 'You do not see your way. You don't see the right way. But the truth is, there is no right path. We are only capable of correcting the path, the goal of which is only chaos.

The figure grasped Kimimaro's face with its cold, pale hands, like Death itself, causing him to become paralysed.

- When you are ready - accept this,' the voice suddenly turned soft, 'And make a choice, child.

Kimimaro felt a brief pain, after which he suddenly collapsed and closed his eyes.

He stood up abruptly from the ground, activating his bone armour and throwing his Aura around, preparing himself for any attack from the outside. But there was no one. The same clearing, the same lake - everything was still there.

He sensed someone's approach, and was about to throw out small bones in their direction when a familiar voice called out to him:

- Kaguya-san! - It was one of the group of Vampires that Kaguya had personally trained at Gasper's request, -Are you alright?

Kimimaro only looked at him more closely. From the outside it might have looked like not a single muscle in Kimimaro's face moved, but his students knew his behaviour well.

- We felt a huge surge of Force and you've been nowhere to be found for a while,' the Vampire immediately rushed to explain, 'Have you been training?

Kimimaro looked at his bone swords. Was it a dream? A vision? What had even happened before this? Who was he...was he communicating with? It was more like a delusion.

- Yeah,' Kimimaro replied languidly, detachedly, sinking into his own thoughts, 'Training....
