My reasoning for that is that basically Ingvild was his first servant that wasn't traded to him. And Issei hasn't even had any pawns yet. So I believed it is being saved for one person. And I believe this became more feasible after Bennia was traded to him and his rook was revealed to be a mutation piece. As I don't think Ishibumi is going to introduce a possible servant of Issei at this point that doesn't have a lot of potential. As having more than one pawn would just have whoever his pawns are pale in comparison to all his other servants. Ingvild is a Longinus possessor and the descendant of Leviathan, Rossweisse is a genius as a magician who wields a Mistelteinn wand, Xenovia wields both Excalibur and Durandal and also possesses Avalon(Excalibur's sheath), and Asia has a powerful healing Sacred Gear and has contracts with several dragons including the Dragon King, Fafnir. Ravel is a Phenex who has the power of regeneration and very powerful flames. She is also Issei's manager and strategist. Bennia is the daughter of Orcus and could help improve his relations with Grim Reapers. Not as much with them on the power front compared to Ingvild, Rossweisse, and Xenovia although they are both very impressive. His pawn(and to be honest any new character introduced in the main series) at this point can't be any less powerful than Xenovia or Rossweisse. |

And she's not Tannin. She already can create contracts with dragons. Why would she need a peerage full of them? But Ishibumi is already struggling with all the characters already in the series. I doubt he'll introduce 8 new servants of Issei that he would have to put into the cast and Issei's harem. |

I have an idea for who Issei's pawn could be.
What if Belzard or one of the other previous male Sekiryuutei had an illegitimate child(because the males were chick magnets as Ddraig said) and that child inherited some of Ddraig's power and passed it down to his descendants. And one of his descendants who is a high-school age girl has just moved to Japan and is now attending Kuoh Academy. And when Issei meets her he feels like she's familiar mostly because of her having Ddraig's aura which is very dormant inside her. Ddraig says she seems familiar as well and feels he has seen her face somewhere. Turns out the reason she came to Japan and to Kuoh Town specifically is because of someone behind the scenes wanting her to come in contact with Issei and awaken her dormant power. Thus the person gave her father a job offer he couldn't refuse which was based in Kuoh Town. And a plot develops from there, a whole bunch of stuff happens, and she becomes Issei's pawn. Or rook. She also has a powerful Sacred Gear that the Grigori think has the possibility of evolving into a Longinus because of Ddraig's aura and they talk about how Ddraig's dormant aura that was inside her had already changed the Sacred Gear's original ability. |

And I doubt her ability to heal others would surpass Asia's. |

It is different. Mystics fight with mysticism related powers and can summon thralls so they can directly fight whil simultaneously healing othefs and themselves. Ravel can only herself while fighting, but she has fire elemental power not supernatural like a mystic. Asia can just do only healing and cannot directly fight. A mystic is more useful than Asia and Ravel because it's a combination of them both.

And what would be the point of Issei having such a servant if she didn't add anything that he didn't already have? Issei already has Asia and her healing Sacred Gear. And Ravel has her immortality. You think that she would be more useful than Asia and Ravel although if we have such a character it is unlikely her healing ability would be better than Asia's and her ability to heal herself would be better than Ravel's immortality. So tell me again, what use would such a character bring to his peerage that isn't already covered? |

Right... Any class of power is automatically moot just because YOU say so. Let me turn your own illogical argument against you. You are saying a mystic would be useless because there's already a healer, but ironically your own argument applies to the CQC fighters lmao. Xenovia and Bennia should go away then since Issei was the first CQC fighter of his peerage (technically). Another character with a healing ability is pointless you say? Then you are saying the two CQC fighters other than Issei are pointless. Very silly to say characters with similar skills are pointless additions when common powers in general are similar to each other, but they work very differently in truth.
I should add that mystics provide buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies. Asia cannot do such a thing nor Ravel. Also before you mention Ingvild, she can only provide buffs.

I said mystics are moot simply due to there being no evidence of them existing in the story. I really don't see Ishibumi implementing mystics in DxD. I just think it wouldn't do to introduce a peerage member of Issei that has a healing ability when that's already covered by Asia. Just don't think Issei really needs more support members especially when her healing would be inferior to Asia's. Also, Ishibumi has put a limit on healing in this series. Just introducing a mystic that could just easily heal while fighting would just be Ishibumi breaking his own rules. Just introducing a character like that, you would have to make the healing ability just as good as Asia's Twilight Healing and the Phenex Tears. Buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies? Isn't that just the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing? I'm pretty sure Issei would far surpass any mystic on that front when it comes to buffing his allies. Xenovia and Bennia both have unique weapons and abilities. Xenovia has Durandal, which can cut anything, Excalibur, which has seven unique abilities, and Avalon, which basically makes Xenovia immune to damage from attacks. Bennia is a Grim Reaper who can basically cut a person's soul with her scythe. |
