Hey guys, just got done with this chapter, IRL been taking a toll on me, I hope this one will be to your liking.

Ria, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, and Gundam 09 are awake to get started, for some reason Issei and the other would not wake up. Sona saw a sleep spell on them and look at Gundam 09 for answers, 09 saw this and decided to tell them.

"The reasons simple, Sona, in this story the other Akeno thought said something about what Hakuno did to Rias is the same as Rias doing to Asia and Issei."

They now know what he was talking about, Rias sigh, knowing she had not told Issei or Asia about it.

"They will wake up after part 1 is over, now let's get on with the show."

Tsubaki grab the remote and press play.

Chapter 3: - Crimson Haired Servant III -

Part 1

-Akeno's POV-

"Fufufu..."

I'm enjoying a lot while looking at Ise-kun carrying a crazy number of bags.

"Rias what is this?" Sona asked.

"It's training."

Sona stare at Rias and sigh, she has not change one bit.

Right now, we're in the mountains. We were brought here by Buchou, after she said we were going to train.

Raiser's mocking yesterday went through our nerves making Buchou to suggest an immediate training.

The weather is so good that the sky is clear. The surrounding is filled with trees, and you can hear the cries of the birds. In terms of viewing the mountain, it's incredible.

"Hurry, Ise. Quick."

Buchou says to Ise-kun while clinging on Hakuno-kun's arm while smiling. Lately she's been close to him, making me somewhat jealous. Beside the two of them is Asia. She is looking at Ise-kun with a worried expression.

Rias smile and looks at Akeno. "Ara, jealous of me for having Goshuji-sama all to myself?" She said it again, but is not embarrassed about it.

Akeno is surprise at this but smile. "Ara, since when did you started copying me Rias, teasing is my job."

Sona knew this is going to be a headache, now Rias is teasing.

"…I will help as well."

"It's okay, since Ise won't be able to get stronger if he can't do this much."

I can hear the two talking and I'm sure Ise-kun heard that as well. Buchou, you are so cruel as always.

"I'm not cruel Akeno, I just helping them out." Rias pointed out.

"Are you sure?" Akeno tease Rias.

More importantly, carrying that much luggage is impossible... for humans. You can do it Ise-kun.

I made Ise-kun to carry my bags. He has also Buchou's bags as well as Hakuno-kun's luggage though Hakuno-kun was opposed on the idea yet for some reason Buchou made him convince saying that it would help Ise-kun's growth.

Fufufu. Half truth and half lies.

Apparently this is also part of the training.

Sona sigh when hearing this, really, could Rias for once not do this to her servant.

"Buchou, I gathered some herbs. Let's use it for the meal tonight."

Yuuto-kun says that while walking pass Ise-kun with a cool expression. He's also carrying a huge piece of luggage on his back. I can see that Ise-kun lost his words when he saw him walk up the mountains without any difficulty.

He has quite the amount of stamina since he also went to gather some herbs during our way here.

"…See you later."

Then Koneko-chan who is carrying more luggage than Ise-kun walks past from us, making poor Ise-kun to open his jaws wide in utter disbelief.

"You Servants are breaking his spirit Rias." Sona said.

"It supposed to encourage him."

Sona stare at Rias with disbelief.

Suddenly, Hakuno-kun leaned towards Ise-kun's ear and whispered something.

"Uoryaaaaaa!"

Ise-kun then went up the mountain at full throttle! Just what in the world did Hakuno-kun told him?

Everyone has a good Idea what that mite be.

Speaking about Hakuno-kun, recently the rest of us saw him in a different light.

At first, when we learned that he resurrected Buchou from the dead and became his servant, all of us were shocked by the news. In fact, we were grateful to him for saving our [King] and my best friend.

When I heard that, the first question that entered my mind was how did my friend Rias got killed?

She is a High Class Devil and packs a lot of firepower. I can't see her being defeated unless she become careless.

"Ah, Thanks Akeno." Rias thanked Akeno."

"Are, you welcome Rias."

And Rias was not a careless person. She always plans ahead.

So how?

Though I wanted to ask that from the start, Yuuto-kun interrupted me before I can speak.

Yuuto demanded how did Hakuno-kun revived Buchou seeing that his completely human and we found our answers from this so-called [Class Cards] that he presented to us. Aside from how they work like our [Evil Pieces], he refused to divulge anymore than that.

But the gratitude that we felt for him changed when Rias-Buchou began crying and ranting how it was unfair for her to become a servant of someone. That scene was awful for us to bear. I never saw her like that aside the omiai she and that bastard Raiser gotten onto.

Rias growled at this. "Please don't remind me Akeno."

"Oops, sorry Rias." Akeno said. There might have been some teasing in it.

I wanted to say that what Hakuno-kun had done to her was almost similar to what she had done with Ise-kun and Asia-chan before but I can't speak that information out loud in front of everyone.

Only the two of us knows this.

We were hurt when we saw her in that state. At that time our view on the guy went to the negative side.

And I admit that our mind and sense of judgement from that time began clouded.

"At least you admitted it Akeno." Rias said.

Akeno sigh, she and her fellow peerage member can get a list judgemental.

One day, Buchou wanted to talk with Hakuno-kun alone and I was opposed with the idea. But Rias said that I shouldn't worry about it and interference isn't allowed.

I don't know what happened that day, but since Rias entered the club she was smiling.

A genuine smile.

Rias is annoyed by what Akeno said. "You saying I don't show Genuine smile Akeno?"

Akeno smile at her. "Ara, what ever do you mean Rias?"

Tsubaki looked at her [King], Sona looked back, they both sigh.

Everything went a full 180 degree turn that day. I went and checked on her to see if she is under a curse or something but turns out that nothing of that sorts were present. Then she started explaining everything to us about what really happened.

It turns out that she trailed Hakuno-kun by herself without informing us. I reprimanded her for her selfish actions much to the others agreement. When we asked how did she died, she only said she will reveal all the details at the right time.

Though I wanted to ask her personally about it, I didn't poke any further seeing that she's in a good mood that day.

That good mood changed when both of us were informed about Raiser's visit.

Like Buchou, I didn't like the guy so I concocted a plan for the meeting in a form of a tea.

That day arrived but what surprise me was that Hakuno-kun was present in the meeting. I put the laxative-induced tea in front of him that was originally for Raiser and his peerage, just to tease him.

"And it was because of that that Goshunji-sama had a stomachache." Rias said in an angry tone to Akeno.

Akeno sigh, guess Rias didn't let it go yet.

I trust my judgement that Hakuno-kun won't drink it knowing that I made it.

But I was wrong.

During the heated argument between Raiser and Rias Buchou, I didn't notice Hakuno-kun started drinking the toxic tea. It was too late to warn him.

In the end, all the misunderstandings were cleared up on that day... And I received 1000 spanking from Buchou.

That's okay though, I love being spank~

Akeno smile at the though of being spank, Rias sigh, knowing full well that Akeno liked her punishment then hated it.

Sigh, I messed up. Now I wanted to make it up with Hakuno-kun. The others also felt the same way too.

How should I do that?

Hmm...

Fufufu.

I can't wait to see Rias Buchou's reaction.

While thinking various ways on how to snatch Hakuno-kun from Buchou, we reach the mansion.

"Don't you dare touch my Goshunji-sama!" Rias shout at Akeno

Akeno smile at her but her eyes had a hint in danger in them.

They all hear a yawn and turn, it seems like everyone is awake now.

Issei rubs his eyes, when he was done and looked he is shock. "Bucho, your stared without us."

"Well you guys wouldn't wake up, so we decide to start without you, now let get back to the t.v."

With that out of the way, they all seated down and watched the show.

Part 2

-Hakuno's POV-

This mansion made from wood belongs to the House of Gremory.

Usually it is hidden by blending in with the scenery from humans by using demonic-powers, but it has appeared since we will be using it. I can smell the scent of wood after getting inside.

I went to the living room to put the bags away, and slept on the floor after drinking a glass of water. The girls went upstairs to get changed into a clothing where they can move easier.

"I will also go and get changed."

Yuuto went to a room located on the first floor carrying a blue jersey.

"Don't peek."

Yuuto says something messed up jokingly.

"I will seriously punch you, bastard!"

Issei didn't have the strength to stand, so he glared at him with eyes filled with killing intent.

Issei is angry when hearing this, really, Can't Kiba see that his words is just asking for a beating.

Geez, if girls from our school saw this, then they will cause an uproar again. It's already bad since the BL pairing of "Hyoudou x Kiba" and "Kiba x Hyoudou" are getting popular lately.

It got popular because it was the "Beauty and the Beast" pairing. I don't understand what's going on in their heads. Wait, that means that Issei was the beast... I don't want to be in his shoes right now.

Issei sits in the corner while in despair, Asia tray to cheer him up at best she could.

I got changed at the empty room after I rested for a bit. Even the empty room comes with bed and equipment necessary for everyday use. But it doesn't come with a television.

By the time I finished getting changed, everyone has already gathered in the living room. Rias who is wearing a red jersey smiles and says it after she sees me.

"Now then let's start our training outside right away."

Well that's the spirit.

"Thank you Goshuji-sama." Rias said while smiling.

As soon as we gathered at the backyard, everyone was waiting to receive some training from me. Most of them were calm even Rias but they don't know that I will give them a training that they will dread for as long as they live.

"So Goshujin-sama, what kind of training have you prepared for us?"

Rias asks while trying to put up a cute act. The way how he address me with such words out in the open in front of his peerage bothers me a bit.

And based on the reactions of everyone else, they are still getting the hang of it.

"The training will be a 3 stage program. Physical training, battle training and strategy meeting. For the first stage, I will give you a proper training menu depending on your current physical capabilities. Stage two is you guys will be fighting me and make you adapt towards different situations. The final stage would be studying Raiser's rating game tapes and come up a plan on how to defeat them."

Sona is impress by Hakuno plans, he really is a great strategist, she hope he can face her someday.

Rias is smiling, know that her Goshujin-sama is helping her peerage get stronger.

"Then shall we begin?"

Rias' voice is full of enthusiasm. Though I already briefed her about the certain boosts that she receive from being reincarnated as my servant, I still haven't teach her about class skills, personal skills and such. But now is not the time for this.

"Okay before we start I will need to check each of your physical conditions."

"How will you do that?"

"Like this."

My body began to glow in green hue as I activated True Name Discernment skill, a Class Skill for [Ruler] Class. In the past I was a [Ruler] Servant under a certain friend's peerage before I become a [Master].

Everyone is confuse by this, Rias turn to Gundam 09. "What is True Name Discernment?"

Gundam 09 stay silent for a few minutes, then he decided to say it. "It a skill for [Ruler] class servants have, it can look up someone's name, abilities... and past."

Akeno and Koneko froze, that would mean that Hakuno knows about there-

"If your worried about him spilling the beans on you, don't worry, he not like that."

Akeno and Koneko is relieve when the hear this, glad that Hakuno is not like that.

Using True Name Discernment each of everyone's overall status information entered my mind like data flowing to a software. The things that I discovered were very intriguing nonetheless.

"Done. Now then let's start. I want everyone of you to come at me with all you've got."

I say to them as I entered myself into a battle stance.

"Umm... you said earlier that you will check our physical conditions..."

"I just did."

"You mean all it took was to just touch us for his skill to work?" Rias question Gundam 09

"Yup."

"But you didn't do anything."

"I sure did. Now come on guys let's not waste anymore time."

Shrugging, they entered in a battle formation. I quickly dashed forward as I struck my first victim.

Part 3

Later that night.

The Gremory team finished today's training. It took me just a minute to take them all out.

I began making some training regime for each of them.

Yuuto and Asia needs to train their physical abilities. Rias' [Knight] excels in speed but lacks strength while her [Bishop] is better describe as a support type and had the lowest physical abilities but is compensated by her large amount of magical energy.

Kiba and Asia understand that, Kiba is really great in speed but does not have Strength to deal damage, and Aisa is more support then attack type..

Koneko has the biggest physical strength among all of them but needs to enhance her speed further.

Koneko sigh at this, she really need to work on her speed.

Rias and Akeno without a doubt are the strongest in the entire team but they're reaction towards surprise attacks are not that good.

Rias wish that Goshuji-sama didn't mention that, while Akeno understand him.

As for Issei, he was the worst of all of them. His physical abilities are just a bit higher than an average human and his magical reserves are so low that he won't be able to use complex magic.

Issei fell in despair when being called the words of them all.

After everyone finished their training regime, each of them were all in the living room each resting on the first spot that they could find. They are very lucky though, this level of training is still a heel from the training that I went through.

To reward them with their efforts, I made a delicious and revitalizing dinner just for them. They all need it after all, we will be doing this for ten days.

Koneko still wish she could taste his cooking, Gundam 09 looked at her then sigh.

"Ah what the heck."

He snap his fingers and a lot of fish made from Hakuno appear by her, she took the first one and bite it, she stay there for a minute and her Nekomata part came out, she happily ate the fish and went to the next one.

Rossweisse is glad that Gundam 09 gave Koneko fish made from Hakuno.

Gundam 09 looked at Gasper and gave him a video game.

Gasper looked at it. "Fate Extella The Umbral Star?"

"Just something for you to play.

Gasper got his PS Vita out and started playing it.

Everyone of us then went to a hot spring to relax. It's been a while since I went to a hot spring.

That aside, a certain someone is trying to peek at the women's side through a 5 inch thick wall.

"You know, it would be easier to climb the wall."

I only said it as a joke but Issei actually take it literally to the heart and started climbing...

PAK

Only to meet a blurry fist from Koneko.

After Koneko finish her last fish she punch Issei really hard in the stomach, he fell holding his stomach.

"Pervert."

Seriously when will this guy started to tone down his perversion?

That I will never know.

Part 4

"Why did you gather us here Hakuno-senpai?"

Issei voiced out his opinion to me. The others are also have a look of wonder on their face.

We are currently gathered in the living room. I stood up as I face them, while trying to move a moving whiteboard next to me. I draw ten symbols on the board, earning me puzzled looks from everyone.

Why did I do this?

It's simple.

"The reason why I request your presence here tonight is that I will be discussing the relationship between me and your Buchou... and subsequently to all of you."

Everyone is Confuse by this, what did he mean by that?

I can see the confusion on their face even with Rias. It's true that they already know the master-servant relationship between me their [King] but that's not it. There's more to it rather than just recruiting peerages and such.

Should I tell them all the truth?

Maybe not. Maybe just half of it.

I need to tell them this. Sooner or later they will be embroiled on something that this world, no, this universe have never seen before. Though I don't want them to participate on something would defy their own understanding, I have no choice.

Rias sigh, she is sad that Goshuji-sama is not telling them the whole truth but understand that he is worried for them.

"So any questions?"

I ask them while holding a board marker in the air. Akeno raised her hand.

"What do you mean by saying subsequently?"

"You know that Rias is my servant, right? So by that definition she is part of my peerage and since she's part of my peerage, where will you be guys in this picture?"

All of them fell silent, trying to ponder or find a decent answer until Yuuto, Rias' [Knight] raised his hand and answered-

"Extension."

Now Everyone know what he ment, still why is he talking about this?

I nodded at him in agreement.

"Yes. In this case all of Rias' peerage are officially part of my peerage by extension, though your official Master is Rias. If I'm correct this setup is also present in the current Devil Society, am I correct?"

I got a few nods from them except from Issei and Asia who are currently new the Devil's peerage system.

"I see but I don't see the connection of this to the doodle that you created in the whiteboard."

"Oh there's a connection and that would help you during your Rating Game against Raiser."

Now Rias is paying attention at what he said, if this connection will help her defeat Raiser, then she is listening.

Well that caught their attention, if those widen eyes of theirs says it. Chuckling, I gestured my hand on the board.

"What you are seeing here are symbols of my 10 Servant Classes; [Saber], [Lancer], [Archer], [Rider], [Caster], [Berserker], [Assassin], [Shielder], [Avenger] and [Ruler]. Each of these classes have certain skills that belongs to their own class."

I pointed the tip of the marker at the first three symbols.

"First are the Three Knight classes of [Saber], [Lancer], and [Archer]. [Saber] are Servant of the Sword. They are considered a jack-of-all-trades warrior and are very agile and powerful in close quarters and most of all are extremely adept at swordsmanship. Next comes [Lancer], Servant of the Lance. They are gifted with extreme agility and proficient in hit-and-run tactics as well as ranged melee weapons such as spears and lances. The last of the Three Knight Classes is [Archer], Servant of the Bow. They are excellent scouts and master of long ranged warfare."

I paused for a second before continuing,

"Second are the Four Cavalry classes of [Rider], [Caster], [Assassin], and [Berserker]. [Rider] are Servant of the Mount. They are experts of the mount able to tame any beasts, be it mythical or mechanical. [Caster] like Rias, are Servant of Spells and Sorcery. They are adept in magecraft, being one of the few able to use sorceries of the highest caliber. [Assassin] are Servant of Assassinations. They are extremely skilled at covert, stealthy and silent operations. Last of the Cavalry classes is [Berserker], Servant of Madness and Rage. They are crazed warriors that have lost almost all traces of their sanity in exchange for great power."

I give them a momentarily look before going on. So far they are listening attentively to my explanations. Good.

"The last but not least are the Extra Classes of [Shielder], [Avenger] and [Ruler]. [Shielder] are Servant of the Shield. They are one-of-a-kind warrior boasting near impregnable defense. [Avenger] are Servant of Vengeance. They are vindictive warriors that bears great hatred in the past or rather the embodiment of hatred itself. Finally [Ruler], Servant of Guidance. They are virtuous warriors that guide other Servants and act as an administrator."

Everyone is impress by this. Kiba and Xenovia thought they make great [Sabers], but Kiba remember what he said about [Avenger], with his others self's revenges, he might get that power. Rias, Akeno, Aisa, Sona, and Tsubaki would make great [Casters], Rias might get powers of a [Berserker] because of her [Power of Destruction], Sona liked the [Archer], it seem perfect for her. Koneko though of [Assassin] skill is pretty great if they can make them stealthy, Rossweisse is interested in the [Lancer], while Issei have know Idea which class is good for him.

I sat on one of the couch before adding some valuable insights.

"Aside from Rias which is my [Caster], if I would categorize all you here based on this Akeno and Asia would be [Casters], Yuuto would be [Saber], Koneko would perfectly fit as an [Assassin] and Issei would be [Berserker]."

Everyone stay silent after hearing that, Issei an mad warrior?

The room was filled with gasps and awes after hearing my explanation. But then again someone blurted out.

"[Berserker]!? Me a mad warrior?"

It was Issei who shouted out. If I'm him I would be shocked like him. I hope that he won't poke more about this or demand an explanation.

For the explanation itself is very awkward, or more even absurd.

"...Senpai, I don't see why Issei-senpai fits the [Berserker] Class."

"I agree with Koneko-chan, Hakuno-kun. Can you please elaborate further?"

Well I'll be damned. Koneko and Akeno seem to have read my thoughts.

Rias did not like the fact that Akeno read his thought somehow, while Akeno just smile when hearing this.

Oh well.

"Breasts..."

I muttered softly.

"Breasts?"

All of them said in unison.

Even the one here said it.

"Issei-kun's obsession of breasts can be equated as madness in a sense, a requirement for someone to be a [Berserker] candidate."

Everything made sense after that, and surprising both sides said the same thing.

"If you think about it..."

"Yup."

"No doubt."

"...I approve of your assessment, Senpai."

Gundam 09 laugh. "Echo."

Not much words had been said. Everyone in the room accepted my explanation. The guy's perversion is a given fact.

And both Issei said the same thing.

"Haha! I would gladly become a Mad Warrior in the name of Oppai!"

"Echo again."

He says while laughing, his fist high up in the air. Man, this guy is so straightforward with his perversion motto. But then again Issei is Issei.

"I'm glad that you explained this to us Goshujin-sama but I still don't get it what is the connection with this to ourselves."

Rias says as she points to the board then to her peerage.

"It's simple. Master, Servant, Abilities, Peerages, Extentions. I'm sure you get it by now."

There was long pause of silence as everyone to ponder what I have said.

"Oh! No way..."

Finally.

Everyone started thinking what he ment, then they figured it out.

Rias finally realized what I'm trying to point out, her mouth in a small O shape while looking at me with her blue-green orbs.

Excitement. Trepidation. Thrill.

I only reply a smirk.

Tsk, tsk. I already started praying for the soul of a certain Yakitori.

After that night, the rest of the mountain training went smoothly.

Then we reached the day for the decisive battle.

With that they t.v. turn off.

The battle with Raiser just got turn there favor to them.

Rias is smiling, Raiser in for a big surprise, Issei is grinning, he not losing his first rating game this time, Akeno has a smile/grin, Raiser queen is in for a world of hurt, Kiba has a serious face, his other self will show them the power of a true [Knight], and Koneko crack her fist, she will not go down so easily now.

Sona looked at them and smile, it appears that Raiser won't win this time.

Then everyone decided to gets some rest for tomorrow.

The real battle will be in soon, don't forget to review, until next time, good night.
