Chapter 3: We're our own cheat
The moment Masa from the world of One Piece started to talk, he started to show his grievance to the two so he could feel better, telling them what kind of hard work he had just received after he came to the world of One Piece a moment ago.
Masa from the world of Mahouka and DxD didn't say much but listened to his complaint carefully and even comforted him since they had to say that Masa from the world of One Piece was so unlucky!
After all, unlike the two who were born from a good family and relatively good talent, or even could be said as exceptional, their treatment within their family was good or even the best.
Masa from the world of One Piece landed directly on the Sabaody Archipelago, knowing nothing, having nothing, and was also directly chased by the group of criminals to be sold as a slave the moment he appeared.
More importantly, this guy had just died being shot by the criminal!
The two of them had never experienced such a thing, but there was no doubt they felt sorry, and if possible, they wanted to help him since they were all Masa, and wasn't it natural for them to help each other?
"Thanks for listening to me."
"No, it's fine."
"Yeah, you don't have to worry about it."
As expected of Masa, after he released his complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart, he quickly recovered and was ready to move on, preparing for his future life since, unlike Masa from the world of DxD and Mahouka, he had to think about his future carefully.
Masa from the world of DxD and Mahouka also nodded since, while their situation was okay, it wouldn't hurt to become stronger.
Masa from the world of Mahouka was fine since Tatsuya Shiba was a good protagonist, and as long as he didn't touch Tatsuya's little sister, everything was fine. Probably, if he could become closer to Tatsuya, it would be even better since there was no doubt that his life would be nice.
If he couldn't handle the problem, then he could just leave everything to Tatsuya and return to his hometown, living well till death!
Meanwhile, Masa from the world of DxD knew that he had to prepare himself better since even if he was a high-class devil, the life of a devil wasn't that peaceful, especially when the society of devils was divided into several factions.
The Four Satans Faction, the Great King faction, and also the hidden Old Satan faction.
Well, no matter what the factions were, as long as he didn't provoke Issei, everything was good, he thought.
Still, the real problem was Masa from the world of One Piece since he was still in the den of criminals, and more importantly, they needed to understand their new abilities better!
Yet, they had to say this ability of theirs was quite good, they thought.
Sharing.
Yes, this was their ability.
Due to their connection within this space, all of them could share their everything, whether it was knowledge, talents, experiences, abilities, and everything.
In other words, whatever was owned by Masa in the world of One Piece, DxD, or Mahouka, all of them could share it with each other.
Still, if there was something that made them happier, it was the fact that the three of them could pile their everything on each other.
Those words might be strange, but as there were the three of them, whether it was their charms, appearance, talents, or learning abilities, they became three times stronger as there were the three of them!
Once again, in other words, everything that usually takes three days to master could be mastered in just one day!
Still, Masa from the world of DxD and Mahouka felt good that they had become more handsome, but Masa from the world of One Piece felt helpless, thinking those criminals would be even more aggressive toward him due to his better appearance after gaining this ability.
Naturally, the two understood his worry, so they patted his shoulders, trying to comfort him.
"You don't have to worry. You have gained our abilities, after all."
"More importantly, our last ability is pretty good. You don't have to worry about anything."
Yes, the last ability was something that they loved the most.
Life saving.
When one of them died, they would return alive once again.
Yes, as long as the three of them didn't die at the same time, even if there was only one of them left, they would be okay and live once again!
More importantly, when their lives were restored, they would be teleported to a different place, a safe place nearby, so there was no need for them to be afraid of being killed once again.
Masa from the world of One Piece also knew that, so he felt better.
They're their own cheats.
The stronger one was, the stronger the other was, too.
So, at this moment, all of them knew that they had to work hard together to grow stronger together.
As for traveling to the other worlds, there was no option, and they also didn't have such an interest either since even if they could share each other's abilities, experiences, talents, and anything else, it was impossible for them to share their women, right?
So, no one thought to travel to another world, and they were fine with the world they were reincarnated to.
At the same time, they knew that in the future, their number might increase, and by then, they would become stronger as the more Masa, the better and stronger they were.
"By the way, which family are you from, Masa Mahouka? It isn't Saegusa or Yotsuba, right?"
If there were two families that were troublesome in the world of Mahouka, it would be either Saegusa or Yotsuba.
The Yotsuba was obvious since it was the family of the original protagonist, Tatsuya Shiba, who was born too. While they were known as the strongest magician family, they were hated by Tatsuya, and there was no doubt that, as the strongest family, they would be targeted by many, which was troublesome.
Meanwhile, the Saegusa family was even more so since this family had always targeted the Yotsuba Family, which might also try to target Tatsuya, the strongest magician in the Mahouka universe, which was even more troublesome.
"You don't have to worry. I am from the Isshiki Family."
"Isshiki Family?" 2x
The Isshiki Family.
This was a good family; while it might not be within the Ten Major Clans, the ten strongest magician clans in the country, it was a family within the 18 Assistant Houses, which was only second to the Ten Major Clans, so there was no doubt its influence, wealth, and the rest was rather good, and there was no doubt Masa from the world of Mahouka could help them a lot since the better his origin was, the better he could help them.
Lastly, if Masa from the world of Mahouka was just a normal magician from a normal family, it would be hard for him to develop.
Privileges had always been monopolized by the strong, after all, so if Masa from the world of Mahouka had nothing, it might be a little hard for him since he didn't have good backing.
If Masa, in the world of Mahouka, tried to become stronger, if his origin was bad, then he would be targeted, and even worse, he would be killed directly, being turned into a research object, which made his fate far worse than Masa from One Piece.
"Isshiki... what is its specialty and trademark magic?"
Usually, every magician in the world, Mahouka, especially from a famous family, had a unique trademark magic, which made their family famous, and naturally, as they had a trademark magic, they would do deep research on a certain subject to improve themselves, so the two were quite curious and couldn't help but wait for the answer of Masa from the world of Mahouka anticipations.
"The Isshiki Family was born from the First Institute, the research magician institute that focuses on producing Combat Magicians with "Magic that Directly Interfers with Living Organisms" for World War Three and is also referred to as the "Magicians of the One."
"Magic that directly interferes with a living organism?"
"Then, can you control the minds of others?"
"...if we can do so, then you won't see me here and me, and my family, all of them will be killed."
"....."
Still, after hearing Masa's explanation, they also understood that the relationship between the magician and a normal human was delicate, and the normal human was so wary of the magician that they would do everything to push down the magician, turning all them into tools, or even worst, livestock.
Yet, this was normal; normal humans had the advantage of quantity, and in the Mahouka world, they were the majority. More importantly, all the government-related and important positions were still mastered by normal humans, so there was no doubt that if there was magic that allowed a magician to control the minds of others, they would be exterminated from the world and killed completely.
Nevertheless, hearing that the two of them had their opinion changed toward Masa from the world of Mahouka, thinking that this guy's life wasn't as easy as they thought it to be.
However, they had to say that the magic that Masa mastered from the world of Mahouka was all great!
