[BOOST!]
[You have been affected by the Status Effect [Boost!]! Your power has been doubled!]
[World Pause is being undone. Please prepare for imminent mortal combat]
"Oh crap!" Issei muttered. He looked at the madman who had been trying to kill him. He was moving, albeit fractionally. The boy scowled.
"He who strikes first, wins!" Issei roared. He was seriously pissed at this guy for terrorising his family for the past several hours and for almost killing him just now.
As he drew his left arm back, he absently noticed sothing floating above the man's head.

[Purifier Outcast]
Filing the titbit away for later, Issei drove his fist forwards as the World Pause (whatever that ant. It surely couldn't an what it sounded like...could it?) ended, the armoured fingerless gauntlet slamming into the centre of the man's balaclava-clad face.
"GAAH!" the man scread as he reeled back, dropping his knife as he clutched at the wreck of his nose.
"Otou-san!" Issei called.
"R-right!" the salaryman nodded. He joined his son in restraining the man as Issei's mother called the police. Issei quickly dismissed both of his Sacred Gears and hoped his parents wouldn't ask about them.
When the police ca and arrested the man, that subject did in fact co up.
"I could have sworn that I saw sothing glowing around Issei's arms." his father said with a frown.
"A common reaction to being in stressful situations." the police officer said soothingly, "Your mind tricks you into seeing things that aren't there. Given that you were being held at knifepoint for several hours, it isn't surprising that it happened, sir."
The elder Hyōdō looked dubious, but nodded.
"Now, we'll need to take statents from you at so point." the officer said, "How would two days from now be?"
"I think my boss will let off on that day." Issei's father replied, "Is it necessary for my wife and son t get involved? I'd really rather they not have to get involved in this affair more than they already have."
"I completely understand your sentint sir, but I am afraid that your wife will have to give a statent at least." the policeman said firmly, "Your son does not as he is a minor. Speaking of whom, he should go to the hospital to have that cut seen to."
That cued Issei's mother to start fussing over him and scolding him for being so reckless. He put up with it as he could see how worried she was. The rest of the night passed in a blur of the hospital, stinging stuff on his cut and a drive ho before he passed out on his bed, exhausted.

The Next Day
Issei's Room
Issei lounged on his bed with a sigh. His parents had insisted that he take the next few days off school to recover from the attack and he was bored out of his mind. He had finished all of the eroge that his friends, Matsuda and Motohama, had lent him the previous day.
'Well...I guess I could work out how to use my other 'Sacred Gear' and see what makes it tick.' he thought as he looked at his right arm. Considering the way that the [Boosted Gear] had been activated...
He threw out his right arm and said, "Ga on!"
As he thought it would, the [Gar's Gear] appeared on his right arm. He took the ti to look over it carefully and discovered an odd rectangle on the area where back of his hand was hidden. Gingerly, he pressed it, making a screen pop up.
[Greetings! This is a one-off tutorial on how to use [The Gar's Gear]. To continue, please close this screen.]
Befuddled, Issei did so.
[Excellent. [The Gar's Gear] is one of only two of its type in the world. One blue, one orange. One created by Gaia, the Titaness of Earth, the other created by Tartarus, the Primordial of Darkness. The wielders of these Sacred Gears are bound to fight each other, so prepare yourself for that.]
"Oi!" the brown-haired boy tsukkomi'd.
[Moving on, the [Gar's Gear] grants you several powerful abilities, two of which are called 'Skills'. Skills are repeated actions that have been codified and turned into abilities for you to use. This can be sothing as mundane as washing dishes to breathing fire.
The first Skill is [Gar's Mind]. This allows you to remain calm and in control at all tis. Bluntly put, you cannot be affected by fear, terror or insanity. The instant you feel these things, the skill will activate and calm you down.
Next is the skill called [Gar's Body]. This allows you to live your life like a video ga. Unless a skill specifically lists it in its description, you cannot lose body parts. You have HP that represents your life, stat points that represent your physical and ntal abilities and sleeping in your bed allows you to restore your HP.
The rest is fairly simple. From this point on, you can receive quests in order to gain 'EXP' or experience points, which will allow you to level up. Fighting monsters, clearing dungeons and completing quests will allow you to level up faster than completing basic tasks.
Your life is yours to live and, with this Sacred Gear, the sky is the limit. In order to view your status screen, rely say 'Status' aloud. The sa applies for you to view your Skills.
Fare thee well.
-Han Jee-Han, the Original Gar.]
The boy sat back with a sigh as he digested everything he had learned. On one hand, this was really, really cool. On the other, he was fated to fight so unknown person with a matching orange gauntlet on his arm. This did not fill him with glee.
"{Status}" he said with a sigh.
