Zelretch smacked a fist into his open palm as an understanding smile spread across his face, "oh now I understand! You see Issei-kun, you're reaching the age where your body is changing. Hormones are flooding through your body, your voice is breaking and you're noticing some strange feelings stirring-"
"I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE CLASS CARDS! YOU GOD DAMN TROLL!" shouted Issei as his eye continued twitching violently and he took out the Lancer card.
"Oh is that all? You should have just simply said so Issei-kun, would have saved us both some time," remarked Zelretch in a scolding tone.
'MUST NOT STAB! MUST NOT STAB! MUST NOT STAB!' growled the teen as the Lancer card began glowing while his eye continued its nonstop twitching.
"Zelretch do these cards have side effects to using them?" he asked, once his temper subsided.
The magician just frowned as he stared at the teen, "what do you mean by 'side effects' Issei?"
Seeing that the troll was finally taking him seriously Issei elaborated, "Well recently I been seeing memories of the Heroic Spirit's pasts for one."
"Odd but not that unusual, the Heroic Spirits are stored in the cards themselves after all. In fact that's probably a good sign, it means you're connections to the cards are growing. By the way congratulations on unlocking Atalanta, I didn't think you had it in you," laughed the magician.
"Gee thanks for the loving support," grumbled Issei before shaking his head as he got back on topic. "What about seeing the Heroic Spirits while I'm awake?"
Zelretch just waved this concern away with a laugh, "Issei-kun I think you're simply hallucinating from stress and exhaustion. It is impossible to see Servants in the outside world, the Class Cards simply don't work like that."
"I know what I saw Zelretch, both Cu Chulainn and Tamamo appeared before me in broad daylight," argued the teen.
"You know about Tamamo? Interesting…and did anyone else see them?" asked Zelretch with raised eyebrows.
"Well no…" answered Issei as he thought back to the number of people that completely ignored Tamamo when she appeared, including Asia herself.
An irritating grin spread across Zelretch's face, "so you're saying no one else can see them but you? Tell me Issei-kun, are they in the room with us right now?"
Issei just growled, "I know what you're doing."
"I'd like to talk to these ghosts Issei-kun," continued Zelretch, ignoring the death glares being sent towards him.
"Stop psychoanalyzing me! I'm not crazy damn it! Ddraig saw them too, right Ddraig?" asked Issei, only to growl at the dragon's amused response.
[See what partner? I'm afraid I didn't see anything.]
"Ddraig don't you start! One troll in my life is bad enough, I don't need a second," shouted the teen before taking a deep breath as he turned back to the magician. "Zelretch I felt one of them touch me, as in physically touch me, these are no hallucinations."
Zelretch's eyes widened slightly before a neutral expression appeared on his face, "Issei I need you to describe exactly what they looked like, leave no detail out."
Blinking at the magician's sudden change in attitude Issei nodded with a frown as he explained, "they looked exactly like the ones from the memories that I was shown. Only they seemed less…solid? They appeared to be almost like a hologram and yet I felt them touch me."
"I see, sounds like a partial incomplete manifestation, but that shouldn't be possible. The Class Cards can't manifest Servants, not even weak manifestations like that, unless…" trailed off Zelretch as he looked at Issei with analyzing eyes.
"Yes that would explain how you were compatible with all seven cards…how interesting I didn't expect this to happen," he laughed. "Issei Hyoudou, you just keep finding new ways to keep me entertained."
"So you know what's going on?" asked Issei, hopefully.
The magician just nodded, "I have a theory, yes."
Issei's eye began twitching again at this response, "are you going to tell me about it?"
Zelretch just gave him another irritating grin, "come come now Issei-kun, you know me better than that. Rest assured there is nothing to worry about, now run along; you have a surprise waiting for you when you get home."
Realizing he wasn't going to get anymore answers from the troll, Issei growled in frustration before he was instantly teleported out of the cavern. Now alone in his cavern Zelretch smiled, "how interesting, I can't wait to see how this will affect the Install states. Still to think I would find a user here of all places…"
"That damned troll, what has he done this time?" growled Issei as he cautiously opened the door to his house, testing the floor with a stick before he entered.
Sighing in relief as the floor remained solid Issei cautiously made his way into the house, wary of the so called surprise Zelretch said was waiting for him. The teen was surprised as he heard the sound of his father laughing from the living room and as he opened the door Issei blinked before slamming the door shut again.
'Nope, I'm hallucinating. They're not really there,' denied the teen desperately as he rubbed his eyes and opened the door again, praying the sight would disappear. Unfortunately, the sight didn't disappear and Issei just sighed again as he saw his father laughing with a smiling Scáthach while Morrigan was staring at him from across the room.
