Gwen (curious, maybe a little smug):
"You talk like a grandmaster…
So who did you train under, anyway?"
🐉 Issei (smiling like he just remembered old war stories and bruises that made him stronger):
"Let's see…"
🔥 Issei's Mentor Flex Breakdown™:
😈 Azazel—The Fallen Angel Genius
"He taught me how to think beyond instincts.
Strategy, traps, gadgets, battlefield awareness—
He's the reason I don't just punch problems."
"Also taught me how to drink like a man and survive political meetings without stabbing anyone."
🐲 Tanin – The Legendary Mid-Class Dragon
"My dragon combat teacher. He didn't care about sacred gears.
He made me earn every move."
"If you can spar with Tanin and not end up in a crater, you're doing fine."
🐵 Sun Wukong—The Victorious Fighting Buddha
"Yeah. That's Sun Wukong.
He once hit me so hard I woke up in a future timeline."
"Taught me to be unpredictable. Taught me how to fight gods while smiling. Also told me to never let a celestial bureaucrat date my wife. Still don't know why."
⚔️ Margit – General of the Zero Army
"My instructor in Zero. Harsh at first, but eventually…
She taught me something few ever could:
How to kill without hate.
How to fight with heart and not lose myself."
"She didn't just sharpen my swordplay—she refined my soul."
👑 Odin—The All-Father
"Yeah, that crazy old man. Trained with me in dimensional awareness and rune warfare."
"He literally made me fight illusions of myself for weeks.
Said, 'If you can't beat your own doubt, you'll never defeat fate.'"
🛡️ Rossweisse – Wife. Teacher. Valkyrie.
"She wasn't just a battle partner.
She rebuilt my magical foundation."
"She taught me spell scripting, seal layering, and how to link runes mid-combat.
Also makes the best after-battle healing wine."
😵 Gwen (visibly overwhelmed):
"You trained under… gods, dragons, divine generals, and your own wife?"
🐉 Issei, with a smirk:
"Yeah.
You asked."
💬 Ben 10 Fandom Reaction:
🤯 Lore Buffs:
"That's not a training arc. That's a pantheon crash course."
🧙 Magic Fans:
"Rossweisse is teaching him rune scripting?
Bro casually learned programming for reality over breakfast."
🧢 Casuals:
"Ben trained with Rook, Gwen, and... frogs.
Issei trained with Sun Wukong and Odin. Why are we even comparing?"
💬 Top Reddit Comment:
"Issei's training sounds like Dark Souls meets Hogwarts meets God of War.
No wonder he doesn't flinch when Alien X walks into a room."
Issei, turning toward Ben with that dead serious dragon-husband tone:
"Also… Ben? Don't even think about learning Primordial Glyphs."
"You misplace one stroke—just one—and you don't get a syntax error. You get a multiversal collapse."
😳 Ben (mid-glow, holding a scroll sideways):
"Wait, you mean like... these?"
🐉 Issei, eyes wide:
"PUT. THAT. DOWN."
🔮 What Are Primordial Glyphs? 🧠 Issei's Explanation (as he yanks the scroll out of Ben's hands):
"These are the first symbols. Not language. Not even spells. These are instructions that define how existence behaves."
⚠️ Why They're So Dangerous:
No Margin for Error
"One wrong line? You don't miscast a spell—you might erase a concept like 'color' from every timeline."
Requires Absolute Willpower
"They respond to intention. If your will isn't perfectly aligned with your knowledge, the glyphs go rogue."
Not Meant for Mortals
"Even gods use these sparingly. I've only cast three glyph-based spells in my entire life. One made a realm weep blood for a year."
🧙 Gwen, jaw dropped:
"I thought they were a myth… Azmuth banned even theoretical research on them."
🐉 Issei:
"Smart guy. He probably read the one about 'distance' and realized you could unmake space."
😬 Ben (half-joking):
"So... no Arcanite Glyph User mode?"
😐 Issei:
"You can't even write cursive right now. No glyphs for you."
💬 Ben 10 Fandom Reaction: 📜 Lore Fans:
"Issei just gave us the most terrifying magic rule in the franchise's history."
"Primordial Glyphs are basically the 'Root Code of Creation'—and Ben almost copy-pasted it like HTML."
🧬 Casuals:
"Bro said you don't get a magic fail—you get a cosmic glitch."
🧙 Magic Theorists:
"This is better than any canon spell system. It makes magic feel volatile, sacred, and utterly destructive in untrained hands."
🔥 Top Reddit Comment:
"Ben nearly performed the Ctrl+Z of reality by misdrawing a swirl."
Issei Fans Seeing Him Casually Drop Glyph Theory, Rune Logic, and Multiversal Spell Etiquette:
"Wait. Wait, wait, wait—hold up."
"THIS ISN'T OUR ISSEI."
🧠 Fandom Reaction: "When Did Our Boy Start Quoting Spellbooks?!"
🤨 Casual Fans:
"Bro used to yell 'Boost!' while flying through walls with dragon fire. Now he's warning people about existential grammar?"
"Where's my dumb, pervy, lovable chaos dragon?? Who swapped him with a philosopher-sorcerer?!"
😭 Old-School DxD Fans:
"This man once tripped over Akeno's thighs mid-battle.
Now he's teaching Gwen the difference between mana constructs and conceptual loops.
WHO IS THIS???"
🧙 Magic Nerds (in denial):
"Issei can't do magic! He punches through magic! He headbutts spells!"
"He had to be carried through textbook pages by Rossweisse back in Volume 9!"
💬 Top Comment on Issei Fan Forum:
"This isn't the Issei who made a dragon cry by grabbing a tit mid-monologue.
This is the Issei who makes OTHER dragons cry… by correcting their spell circles."
😅 Meanwhile, High-Level Issei Fans Who've Been Paying Attention:
"Nah, this is our Issei.
He just leveled up while we were too busy watching him flirt."
"Remember: he trained under Azazel, Rossweisse, Odin, and freakin' Wukong.
You think he'd stay a 'Boost and Punch' type forever?"
🔥 Realization Sets In:
"He still loves boobs. He still screams 'BOOST' like a battle cry.
But now he also knows the runic structure of reality.
That's what happens when a dumb perv becomes a wise emperor."
🐉 One Fan Sums It Up Best:
"He's still Issei.
He just learned that sometimes…
Punching a problem isn't enough.
Sometimes you have to rewrite the law that lets it exist."
📜 Final Quote Circulating Online:
"Old Issei: 'I'll fight for my friends!'
New Issei: 'I'll dismantle causality with spellwork so my friends don't have to fight.'"
