[Familiar Forest]

''Where are we?'' Issei asked while looking at his surroundings. All that the Pawn saw were dead trees and the sky is dark red in colour.

''We're at the familiar forest of course.'' Akeno answered him.

''Don't be scared. This is the same place where we got our familiars too.'' Kiba said, trying to ease the Pawn.

''No, I'm cool. Besides the fact that I've just totally pissed myself.'' Issei said.

''You sure know how to overreact, don't you.'' Gray said.

''Who wants me!'' Someone exclaimed, scaring Issei and Asia. When everyone looked up, they saw that there was a man standing on a bough. ''The master of the familiars, a.k.a. Zatouji!''

''He's the familiar master?'' Issei asked.

''If you go to find familiars galore, you've come at the right time, that's for sure. The full moon is out to help you decide and I'll be the one to act as your guide.'' Zatouji said as he then did a weird hand symbol.

''If you can't tell, Zatouji is way obsessed with making things rhyme.'' Akeno said.

''You don't say.'' Gray replied sarcastically.

''Now how can I help you, tell me all of your desires. A strong one, a fast one or one that likes to set fires?'' Zatouji asked the two devils and Gray.

''Do you have any familiars with big tits who really likes nerdy white guys?'' Issei asked the familiar master with a perverted face.

''Tch, tch, tch. This is why amateurs are always annoying. If you seeking something more than a toy then you better think twice with that head my boy. To find the familiar who'll be the best fit, then look for personality and not for best tit.'' Zatouji said.

''Makes sense, but I would like a really cute and fun one.'' Asia said.

''Fun? Done and done.'' Zatouji said.

''What the hell dude!?'' Issei exclaimed at the man.

''And how about the one who is wearing next to nothing? Do you like a sleepy one or one that does wear clothing?'' The familiar master asked the Demon Slayer, annoying him a bit with that last part.

''To be honest, I don't really care what for familiar I'm going to get or if I really want one. But if I have to choose something, then I guess a familiar that can use ice would come in handy.'' Gray said.

''So here we have one with a cool personality who likes a familiar with ice as its speciality.'' Zatouji said as he then jumped from the bough and landing safely on the ground. ''Now let's end this little talk and go for a walk.''

After a minute of walking, the group then stood in front of a lake. ''This lake is awesome, and it feels very fine. At the bottom, you'll find a magical Undine.'' Zatouji told the group.

''Yeah! Undines are hot! We've just hit the familiar jackpot!'' Issei exclaimed. ''She'll emerge from the water while wearing nothing but a soaking wet see-through dress with her hair long enough to tie me up. Then she'll pull me below and we will make sweet love to each other.'' Issei finished with a very perverted look on his face.

But the Pawn didn't notice that Koneko was looking at him with a disgusted face and Gray looked at him with a 'What the hell, dude.' look on his face

'This guy is even worse than Macao, Wakaba and Gramps combined...' The Demon Slayer thought.

''Check out the lake guys.'' Kiba said, making everyone look at it. It was then that something came from the water. But instead of a beautiful woman, a bodybuilder in a pink dress came out of it.

''Take a look, that's off the hook.'' Zatouji said.

''But clearly not off the steroids! What is it, some kind of bodybuilder!?'' Issei exclaimed.

''Undines are water sprites with megawatt power. A familiar like that will make your enemies cower.'' The familiar master said.

''Screw that! He looks like he can pick me up and break me in half!'' The Pawn exclaimed.

''Not he. Sorry, but this he is a she.'' Zatouji told the devil who then lost all the strength in his legs.

''I think I just threw up in my mouth.'' Issei said weakly.

'I think I did as well.' Gray thought as he also didn't see that the Undine was actually a female instead of a male.

After the Undine event. The group then started to walk again.

''That Undine back there, she had really kind eyes. Even though she was tough on the outside, I could tell she had a kind heart.'' Asia said aloud.

'Does she really means that?' Gray thought.

''Oh my.'' Zatouji said, making everyone stop their track. ''Look high.'' He then said while pointing a little dragon.

''What's that?'' Issei asked aloud.

''It's obviously a dragon.'' Gray answered his question.

''Ah~. It looks really cute.'' Asia said.

''Cute, but dangerous too. When they get angry, they have the power to shoot lightning that's blue.'' Zatouji warned the group.

''Hey, that type of dragon is pretty rare, isn't it?'' Kiba thought aloud.

''I think this is the first time I've ever seen one before.'' Rias said.

''Do it now if you want this one claimed. Once this dragon grows up, it can no longer be tamed.'' Zatouji told the group but it was mostly meant for Gray, Issei and Asia.

''Issei, since you possess the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, That little dragon might be a good fit for you.'' Akeno suggested the Pawn.

''Yeah that makes sense.'' Issei said. ''Alright then dragon! I choose-'' He exclaimed but suddenly got interrupted by a couple of girly screams. As all the guys turned around to see why all the girls are screaming, they saw that all the girls got covered by some kind of green slime that was eating their clothes.

''What the...'' Gray said aloud as he saw what was happening to the girls as he then looked back to the other way with a large blush on his face. He may not be a prude or a gentleman, but he does respect the privacy of a woman.

''Green slimes!'' Kiba exclaimed as he readied a sword in his hands. But right after he said those two words, another green slime landed on his face, making the Knight unable to clearly see things.

Meanwhile, Issei was holding his bloody nose. ''This is the best thing that ever happened.'' He said happily. But not a second later and he received a punch to the face by Koneko.

''Suck on that, perv.'' She said.

''It's not my fault that you guys are losing your clothes by those green slimes.'' The pervert said as he then stood up. ''But don't worry, I'll save you! But first I have to save this image for the spank bank later.''

''Are you serious!?'' Gray exclaimed as he was ready to knock some sense into the head of the pervert.

''Eating of the clothes is the random power of this weird slime. Fun for a while, but in the end a complete waste of time.'' Zatouji explained the weird power of the green slime.

''What kind of power is that!?'' Gray exclaimed.

''I've found mine! I want this slime as my familiar right now!'' Issei exclaimed, only to receive a punch against the back of his head.

''Act normal for once!'' He shouted at the pervert as he then decided to stop this slime madness. Using his ice magic, the wizard froze all the green slimes as all of them then broke into tiny little pieces.

''That should do the trick.'' Gray said as he then looked back at the pervert. ''Just what the hell is going on in that head of yours?'' He asked.

But instead of an explanation, he got scolded by the Pawn. ''Why the hell did you do that dude!?'' He exclaimed. ''How could you kill my slime!? Do you even know how many girls he and I could make AAAAAAAAGAGAGA!'' Issei then screamed out of pain as he got zapped by the blue little dragon. But suddenly, the blue dragon landed on Asia's shoulder.

''Sprite dragons don't attack unless they believe their loved ones are in trouble. which, in the familiar world, means that the dragon and the lovely lady should be together on the double.'' Zatouji explained.

''You mean that Asia and the dragon are bonded now?'' Kiba said.

''The way I see it, it looked like it wanted to protect me rather than Asia.'' Gray said

''Probably because Issei wanted to make every girl naked, the sprite dragon thought he would also do it against Asia.'' Akeno explained.

''Guess that makes sense.'' Gray said.

''He's so cute.'' Asia said as she then began to cuddle the small dragon.

''Well isn't that sweet. Now I gotta take a shit so you guys need to beat feet.'' Zatouji said.


[ORC Building]

''They say sprite dragons only give themselves to the most worthy and pure-hearted of masters. And normally, they would never choose to serve a devil.'' Rias told the group.

''Asia used to be a holy sister so who knows, maybe that had some sway over the little guy.'' Akeno said.

The little dragon was happily rubbing his face against the chest of his master Asia, but not in a perverted way of course.

''Hey, bad dragon! That chest isn't yours to nuzzle in, bud-AAAAAGAGAGAGAGAA!'' Issei tried to warn the dragon but got shocked by the little guy.

'He had it coming...' Gray thought who was leaning against the wall while taking a bite from his cookie just like Koneko, who was thinking the same thing as the stripper.

''Now Rassei, you have to be nice to uncle Issei.'' Asia said to her familiar who we now know as Rassei. ''But it's time for you to say goodnight.'' She said to the small dragon as he then got teleported away.

''Looks like Asia was the only one of us three to get a familiar, huh? To be honest, it kinda makes me a bit jealous.'' The Pawn said who just recovered from the lightning.

He then looked at the Demon Slayer who was still wearing nothing but his underwear. ''How about you man?''

''Not really.'' Gray said as he then took the final bite of his cookie. ''It may be fun to have a familiar by my side. But like I said before, I wasn't really that interested.''

The wizard then walked towards his school bag and picked it up. ''I'm heading to home now, so I'll see you all tomorrow.'' Gray said as he and everyone else besides Akeno and Rias walked out of the building.

''Issei sure has a long way to go.'' Rias said.

''He's a newbie so give him some time.'' Her Queen said.

''You're right.'' Rias said as she then grabbed one of the headbands that Issei made for them. ''That he is.''


[Next Day, ORC Building]

''So to put it simply. Koneko punched you because you locked yourself and your friends in a locker of the girls changing room so you three could peek at them, right?'' Gray asked the Pawn that was getting healed by Asia.

''What, my friends invited me to go so I just accepted it. Don't wanna be rude to them'' Issei said.

''Unbelievable.'' Gray said with a heavy sigh as he then took a sip of the delicious tea that Akeno made.

''I can help out! If it's that important for you to see nudity, then look!'' Asia exclaimed as she then raised her skirt a little bit, making Gray spit all the tea from his mouth.

''No! Stop Asia, you got me all wrong!'' Issei exclaimed.

'Never expected that she would be so bold for him.' Gray thought as he then took another sip from the tea.

But if he only knew what would happen next.

''She's just trying to help.'' Rias said, gaining the Attention of the Pawn. ''You know, all you have to do is just ask and I'll show you anything.''

This made Gray again spit all the tea from his mouth again, but with the addition of coughing this time. 'Dear Mavis she can't be serious!?' The Demon Slayer asked in his mind.

''Seriously!?'' Issei exclaimed.

''Of course I am. You've already seen me naked, a lot.'' Rias said

'S-She actually is...' Gray thought with a sweatdrop.


[Couple of Days Later, Kuoh Academy]

''You're right. I think something is bugging her.'' Kiba said as he, Issei, Asia and Gray are walking to the ORC building. And somehow, Gray was still wearing all his clothes.

All of them have recently notice that Rias was acting a bit different for the last couple of days. And all four of them were currently talking about it

''If I had to take a guess, it's probably some House of Gremory drama.'' The Knight then said.

''You think Akeno might know something?'' Issei asked Kiba.

''She is her right-hand lady so if anyone would, it's her.'' Kiba said. But the Knight then suddenly stops his walking while he had a very serious look on his face.

''Something wrong?'' Gray asked.

''Well, there is one thing that I know that would upset her. And it's pretty bad news.'' Kiba said, making the other three curious of what it could be.

When the four were finally walked inside the ORC building, they not only saw Rias, Akeno and Koneko. But also a silver-haired woman who was wearing a maid outfit as well.

''Miss Grayfia?'' Issei said, making Asia and Gray confused.

''You know this chick.'' Gray asked the Pawn, making almost everyone sweatdrop that he basically called the woman a chick

''I know her because... certain things have happened.'' Issei said. Afterall, he still hasn't told anyone about yesterday. How Rias wanted her virginity taken by Issei and that Grayfia came, unfortunately, just in time to interrupt them. ''But don't worry, she's a devil.''

Gray looked at the Pawn for a couple of seconds. 'What does he mean with certain things?' He thought for a second until he finally averted his gaze from him. Not carrying about it anymore

''If you say so.'' The wizard said, making the Pawn sigh out of relief that he didn't need to tell anything about last night.

Asia was the first one to introduce herself to Grayfia. ''My name Is Asia Argento and I'm the Bishop of Rias. It's a pleasure to meet you.'' She said with a small bow.

Grafia gave a small bow back. ''My name is Grayfia, and it's also a pleasure to meet the Bishop of Lady Rias.'' She said as she then looked towards Gray.

''And may I also know your name?'' Grayfia asked the Demon Slayer.

''The name's Gray Fullbuster, nice to meet you.'' The wizard said.

''Likewise.'' Grayfia said as she then suddenly raised one of her eyebrows. ''May I also know why you took your clothes off in front of everyone?''

''Huh?'' Gray said as he then realises what he just did. ''Ah crap!'' He exclaimed as he then began to search for his clothes to put them back on.

''Don't worry Grayfia. He has a habit of taking off his clothes without realising it.'' Rias explained for Gray who was now wearing all his clothes.

''I see.'' Grayfia said as she then looked at Rias. ''My Lady, if you don't mind? May I have the permission to speak openly?'' She asked.

''Let's hear her out.'' But as soon as Rias said, an orange magic circle appeared with flames coming out of it. Once the flames died out, they all saw a young man with short blond hair and dark blue eyes.

''And Riser has arrived in the human realm. I've come all this way to see you, my beloved Rias.'' The young man said as he refers himself in third person.

''Okay, who's this douche?'' Issei asked.

''This gentleman is Lord Riser Phenex. He's a pure-blooded devil of the House of Phenex.'' Grayfia told him

''That's not all, is it?'' Gray asked, knowing that there is more than that.

Grayfia complimented the young wizard in her head for being able to see that as she then continued. ''He's also the fiancé to the next head of the House of Gremory.''

''Fiancé to what! You're joking, right!?'' The Pawn exclaimed.

''I'm not. Lady Rias has been engaged to Lord Riser for quite some time now.'' The silver-haired woman said, making the eyes of Issei, Asia and Gray to go wide.

''So Rias, are you ready for your wedding day with Riser?'' Riser asked his fiancée.

''Forget it Riser and just let it go. Why can't you understand that I have no intention of marrying you.'' Rias told him

''But my darling, Riser believes that your family circumstances are still such that you can't afford to be so selfish.'' Riser said.

''I will not bring my family to ruin!'' Rias said. ''But I'll be the one who chooses my husband and not someone else.''

''Remember that it's import that devils remain pure-blooded. We're still recovering our numbers from the last war. Both your father and Sirzechs decided on this arrangement with the future of the devils in mind.'' Riser stated.

''My father, my brother and my whole clan made this decision because they are rushing everything. But for the final time, Riser. I will not marry you!'' She said to the young man.

Riser then held the chin of Rias with his right hand. Causing the peerage of Rias and Gray ready to help her if needed.

''For the final time, Rias. Riser is the next heir of the House of Phenex, And I will not allow that title to be tarnished.'' He said to Rias as he then looked at her peerage and Gray.

''Riser doesn't care if he has to incinerate everyone in this room.'' He then looked back at Rias. ''You will return to the Underworld with me.'' He finished as his eyes then began to glow orange and Rias' eyes began to glow red.

Before Grayfia could warn the two devils, she was surprised to see that Gray was suddenly between Rias and Riser, while holding the shirt of the latter one in a threatening way.

'Such speed for a human.' Grayfia thought.

''Listen to me, flame brain. I don't care if you're some kind of noble devil or not, but I won't allow you to hurt my friends. You got that!'' Gray said angrily.

''You dare to threaten Riser!'' Riser said as he then created two balls of flames, one in each hand. ''If you want to die that badly, then Riser will be happy to oblige!''

''Bring it!'' Gray exclaimed as he then released the shirt of Riser, making his fists covered in ice.

''That's enough.'' Grayfia said, gaining the attention of the two that were about to fight. ''I'm here by the order of Sirzechs. Which means, there will be no disruption of peace.''

Riser slowly made the flames in his hands disappear. ''When told such an ominous thing by one who's known as the Ultimate Queen, even Riser can become somewhat fearful.'' He said.

Seeing that Riser had no more intention to fight, the Demon Slayer made the ice around his fists shatter into millions of tiny pieces.

''My master anticipated that there would be a conflict of some sorts. As such he has assigned me a last resort should communication breakdown.'' The silver-haired maid said.

''Of course he did. Would you care to be a little more specific.'' Rias said.

''That if my Lady really doesn't want to marry Lord Riser, she has to settle this with a Rating Game against Lord Raiser.'' The maid said, making Rias surprised.

''Riser has played through numerous Rating Games and has scored several wins for himself. Unfortunately, my inexperienced bride has never even qualified for an official game.'' Riser said, earning a glare from the crimson-haired devil.

''He knows that only matured devils are allowed to participate, so it's not as if she had many opportunities.'' Akeno said.

''Seriously!?'' Issei said.

''So that means that you guys are at a disadvantage, huh?'' Gray asked the Queen.

''That's not all that we need to worry about.'' Koneko said.

''Rias, I have to ask. Is this group the extent of your servants? Are they all you have?'' Riser asked his fiancée

''Everyone except for Gray.'' Rias answered his question. ''And in case you wonder who that is. He's the one who you almost had a fight with.''

'Too bad it was almost.' Gray thought.

Riser began to laugh as he then snapped his fingers, creating a Phenex magic circle and making fifteen girls appearing on it. ''Riser has fifteen pieces. In other words, I have a complete set.'' He said

''Fifteen, and they're all as hot as well. Damn it!'' Issei exclaimed the last two words as he then began to cry. ''Why can't I be this guy!''

''My dear, why is your servant looking at me and weeping uncontrollably?'' Riser asked.

Rias let out a small sigh as she then answered his question. ''Because his dream is to have a harem.'' She said

''Ew, what a total barbarian.'' A blond-haired girl from the peerage of Riser said with a disgusted face. But in a split second, the girl suddenly had a blush on her face, like many other girls of Riser's peerage. ''And why the hell is only wearing his underwear!''

No sooner she said that and Riser looked at the servants of Rias to see that she was right. Right now, Gray was actually only wearing his underwear without a single care in the world.

'Does Riser even wants to know why...' Riser thought with a sweatdrop

But Rias and her servants acted like it was nothing special. Afterall, this isn't the first time that he took his clothes off for no reason, so they all got used to it. Hell, even the whole school got used to it.

''Hm?'' Gray hummed at the blond-haired girl that shouted at him until he finally realises what she meant. ''Well would you look at that.'' The wizard said while looking at the 'clothes' he was wearing.

''Dude, you're not even bothered this time?'' Issei asked with a deadpanned face

''Not to mention that it happened only five minutes ago.'' Kiba said.

''It's not like I'm doing this on purpose, you know.'' Gray said.

''And it's not like I'm bothered by it.'' Akeno said with a certain look on her face, giving Gray the chills.

'How does she do that?' Gray thought.

Suddenly, Issei decided to change the subject. ''But I still can't believe that this grilled chicken has a harem.''

Riser looked at Issei with a serious look. ''How dare you. It would be best if you remember your place when you speak to me.'' Riser said

''Screw you! The only one person I need to impress is Rias!'' Issei exclaimed, surprising the crimson-haired devil. ''I don't give a shit how you think of me!'' He exclaimed while he summoned his Boosted Gear.

'Issei...' Rias thought.

''We don't need to play some damn game! I'll kick your ass right here and right now!'' The Pawn exclaimed as he then charged towards Riser.

''Issei no!'' Asia shouted.

''Mira.'' Riser called the name of one of his girls. Not a second later, a girl with blue hair that was holding a stick jumped in front of the Pawn.

''What's she supposed to do?'' Issei Questioned. ''She's tiny.''

Right after Issei said those words, Mira aimed her stick with full force against Issei stomach and sending him flying against the ceiling. The Pawn was stuck against the ceiling for a whole second as he then fell towards the ground. But instead of hitting the ground, he was caught by none other than the Demon Slayer.

Gray caught the body of Issei with one arm as he then threw the Pawn perfectly on one of the sofas. Rias was the first one to walk towards Issei, only to see that he was unconscious.

''To imagine that the current wielder of the Boosted Gear would be so unbelievable worthless. What a tragedy for you, darling.'' Riser said

''Grayfia, tell my brother that I'm ready for the Rating Game.'' Rias said, surprising her peerage.

''I will inform him immediately.'' Grayfia said.

''Riser, mark my word that we will defeat you.'' Rias told him.

''I look forward to it dear.'' Riser said as he then activated a magic circle underneath him and his servants. ''Riser will see you at the game.''

But before Riser and his peerage left Rias and the others, he got a quick look at the eyes of Gray. He was looking at him with eyes that were filled with anger, seriousness and many other things that made his eyes look that way.

'Those eyes are screaming that he is ready to fight me anytime and anywhere. Too bad that I can't fight him in the Rating Game, or else it may have been a worthy fight for someone like Riser.' Was the final thought of Riser as he and his peerage disappeared from the ORC building.

The moment Riser disappeared, Asia began to heal Issei while Grayfia and Rias had a little chat.

''You sure you still want to go on with this, Lady Rias?'' Grayfia asked.

''If there is any way to stop this engagement then I'll happily take it. Even if I have never done a Rating Game before.'' Rias said with determination.

''Then how about I give you and your servants two weeks to prepare for the Rating Game?'' Grayfia suggested the crimson-haired devil.

''You sure?'' Rias asked.

''Considering the differences between you and Lord Riser, I've decided that a handicap for you will be appropriate.'' Grayfia told her.

Rias looked at her Pawn that was getting healed by Asia. ''As much as it pains me to admit it, I think you may be right. Extra time to train would be useful for all of us.''

Rias then looked back at the silver-haired woman. ''Thank you, I'll accept the offer.''

Grayfia gave Rias a small bow. ''There is no need to thank me, my Lady.'' Grayfia said as she then prepared a magic circle. ''Then I'll wish you luck at the Ra-''

''Wait a minute!''

Grayfia stopped her magic circle as she then looked at the one who told her to wait, which was none other than Gray Fullbuster

''Something you want to ask me?''Grayfia asked the Demon Slayer.

''I may not be a devil like you guys, but is it still possible for me to participate in this Rating Game?'' Gray asked the silver-haired woman, surprising everyone in the room, except Issei of course who's still unconscious.

Grayfia was quiet for a second until she gave the wizard an answer. ''There's only one way for you to participate.'' Grayfia said, as she also surprised everyone except Issei and Gray.''

''There is!?'' Rias exclaimed.

Gray looked at Rias. ''But I can already tell you that it's not for free.'' He said as he then looked back at Grayfia. ''Right?''

Grayfia complimented the young wizard for the second time in her head. ''You're right, it doesn't.''

''Looks like Gray can be pretty smart outside school.'' Akeno said, teasing the Demon Slayer.

''Very funny.'' Gray said with a small bit of annoyance in his voice as he then got back on track. ''But what must be done so I can fight together with Rias and her group.''

''In a Rating Game, each team is allowed to bring two items with them that they can use in battle. So if you want to join Lady Rias, she has to sacrifices those two items.'' Grayfia told everyone.

''But does it matter that Gray is only a human.'' Kiba asked Grayfia.

''It does not matter what kind of race he may be. Even an angel or a fallen angel is allowed as an extra player.'' The woman said

''Is there something else?'' Rias asked the maid.

''Only one more thing.'' Grayfia said. ''Since sir Gray-''

''Just Gray is fine enough.'' Gray interrupted her for the second time, not really one of the formalities.

''Very well then.'' Grayfia said as she then started again. ''Since Gray will be joining the group of my Lady, Lord Riser must agree with the request.''

Gray didn't seem to be bothered by it. ''Since that guy thinks so much about himself, I don't think he would mind a single bit.'' He said.

Grayfia prepared a magic circle underneath her. ''I'll inform Lord Riser about this right away and I'll let you know his answer as soon as possible.'' The silver-haired woman said as she then teleported away.

The room was quiet for a second until Akeno decided to break the silence. ''Thank you for joining us, Gray.'' Akeno thanked the wizard.

''Yeah man, there's no way we gonna lose now.'' Kiba said.

''No biggie. Besides, I didn't like it how that guy treated Rias or when he said that he wanted to incinerate all of you.'' Gray said. ''But we still don't know if I can join this fight.''

''It's like you said before. That guy is too full of himself.'' Koneko said. ''So I'm sure he would accept it.''

''And if you can't join us, then you can always train us so that we can become strong enough to win.'' Asia said.

Rias looked at how Gray and her servant, minus Issei, were having a talk with each other. She then thought about the moment that talk she had with Gray, about being friends with her and the others.

'But it's still ain't something like I can be great buddies with you devils. Demons or devils, in a way, they are both kinda the same.' '...I'll think about it.' Rias remembered that he said those words and it looks like he did think about it.

The words he said today about him not liking how Riser treated her and her peerage, made Rias finally able to see that their friendship may now be official.

'Thank you, Gray.' Rias thought. as she then joined the talk.


[Gray's House]

It was almost eleven o'clock and Gray was just done taking a shower as he was only wearing his underwear and having a towel hanging around his neck right now. The wizard then headed towards the kitchen to eat and drink something before he wanted to sleep. But the moment he arrived at his destination, he was greeted by a white/silver magic circle.

'Who could that be?' Gray thought, never seen a magic circle of this colour before. Well, at least in this world. But no sooner he thought about it, he then saw the person that came from the magic circle, which was none other than the silver-haired maid.

When Grayfia's vision wasn't covered with light anymore, the first thing she saw was the young wizard of Fairy Tail. She could tell by the looks of it that Gray just came out of the shower. There was a towel hanging around his neck and he also had some droplets running down his toned and muscular body.

We all know that Grayfia would never admit it aloud or tell anyone about this. But even she had to admit that Gray has an amazing body for a human of his age.

''When you said 'as soon as possible', I didn't think it would be this soon. Not that I mind though'' Gray said.

''I'm sure you don't. Afterall, it's always pleasant to know things as soon as possible.'' Grayfia said.

''You're right about that.'' Gray said as he then opened the door of the refrigerator. ''You need something to drink.'' He asked the silver-haired devil.

''I appreciate the offer, but I don't need any.'' Grayfia said.

''If you say so.'' Gray said as he then grabbed a bottle of soda for himself. ''But I guess you're here to tell me if he agreed or not.'' He asked the maid as he then took a sip from the bottle

Grayfia gave the young wizard a nod. ''That's right.''

''And...'' Gray asked.

''He agreed that you may fight alongside Lady Rias and her peerage.'' Grayfia said.

''I knew that guy would agree. Guess I'll tell everyone the good news then.'' Gray said with a smirk on his face. ''But thanks.'' He thanked the woman.

Grayfia looked at him with somewhat of a questioning look on her face. ''Why thanking me.'' She asked.

''For asking him of course.'' Gray said like it was stating the obvious. ''If I would go there, then no doubt there would be nothing but trouble. So again, thanks.''

''It wasn't much.'' Grayfia said with a small bow as she then prepared a magic circle. ''I'll be going then.'' Were her last words as she then teleported away from Gray's house.

Gray took the final sip of his bottle. Placing his now empty bottle on the countertop, Gray was now having an even bigger smirk on his face.

''You better watch out Riser, because me and the others will definitely beat you in the Rating Game.''
