Rias vs Raiser part one
Issei P.O.V
I'm ready. Buchou and everyone is counting on me. Today, we were able to do anything we wanted, as long as it wasn't something that tired us out. So, Makoto-chan and I spent the day together. I think we get along well! She's really cute and nice! I just don't see why people think she's a boy. She's sweet and always nice to me, unless she's pissed off with me.
Makoto-chan and I are in my room, just sitting on my bed, alone. I believe we had fun today. I had fun at least.
"I-Ise-kun..."
"Y-Yeah, what is it?"
"Erm...I-I...am...a...little...n-nervous."
"You're nervous? Why? I'm going to protect you Makoto-chan!"
I say strongly! Makoto-chan wont get hurt! Even I realize the fact that since she is the healer of the group, she's way more important than anyone else in the group. If she goes down, then everyone else will. Buchou even said that she's a main part of the team.
"Ise-kun. I-I am n-not a g-girl. Please s-stop re-referring t-to me a-as a girl."
"Eh? But, you are so nice! You can't be a boy, right?"
"I-I am one. I-I just l-look like t-this. I-It makes m-me feel s-sad when y-you think I-I'm a g-girl. I-I want t-to be a-a man w-who protects p-people a-also."
...Is she really a he? Is it possible? I've, hurt...him so badly. Damn it! I didn't mean too! I honestly thought that he was a she! I've never seen a guy that looks cute before. I best apologize to...him. I still find that strange, but I guess that she is really a he after all. Makoto-chan is actually Makoto-kun.
Dreams shattered. No, I have a new dream! Protect the healing boy! We will be best friends instead! I still like him more than Kiba. For one, Makoto doesn't flirt with me. And doesn't creep me out like Kiba does.
"I'm...sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you for a girl. I am sorry. Start over?"
He nods and takes my hand...eh? Whys he holding my hand all of a sudden? Well, at least it is someone who's a trap. If it was Kiba, he'd be across the room right now. But I'm still finding it hard to believe that this cute looking thing is actually a boy.
"I-Ise-kun...t-thank you f-for...b-being my f-friend."
"Eh? Why'd you say that all of a sudden? Of course I'm your friend! Lets be best friends forever!"
"B-Best friends? My b-best f-friends a-always e-end up l-leaving me."
"Leave you? Your friends...leave you?"
"Y-Yes. E-Either leave t-the country or j-just d-d-d-die."
Die? Someone's died that he knows? Should I ask him about it? Or, should I leave him alone? Hmmmmm, no, I shouldn't ask about it...
"A-Are you t-thinking a-about what I-I said?"
"Umm...yes, sorry. Ah, it doesn't matter! We should be going soon anyway."
"Y-Yes, I-I guess s-so. But. I-I will tell y-you a-about it...Ise-k-kun. My f-friend w-was...shot...in f-front of m-me w-when I was e-eight years o-old...and I-I screamed a-and cried a-as his b-blood went a-all over m-me...then ever s-since that d-day. I-I can't s-stop stuttering."
His friend...was shot infront of him when he was eight? Wait, if he was eight...that happened around eight years ago? I think Makoto is 16 so, that happened eight years ago. I think I remember it being on the news.
A boy, 8 was shot in a cross fire with the police and someone who...erm...I can't remember who the other person was but it was at a park, and a child died...I believe. It was a tragic accident.
"That's...the reason?"
"Y-Yes. T-That's w-why I don't l-like being c-called s-stutter boy. S-Since it m-makes me f-feel like t-they a-are making f-fun of m-my friend d-dying. D-Don't tell a-anyone. Y-You said y-you was m-my f-friend right?"
"I see...I understand. Yeah, of course I wont tell anyone! Haha! Don't worry! Lets do our best, for Buchou! Lets win, together!"
"Y-Yes! F-For Buchou!"
We hit our knuckles together! Ok, this is it! The birth of the Pawn/Bishop friendship duo!
...At 11.40 pm, the other members and I are in the clubroom. Everyone is wearing their school uniform, on Buchou's orders.
Kiba is equipped with a gauntlet on his hands and has some armour on his lower leg. He has his swords against the wall.
Koneko-chan is sitting on the chair and is reading a book. On her hands, she is wearing gloves that allow her fingers to be seen. Its one of those gloves that martial artists wear. It looks pretty intense if a girl with a loli face wears it.
Akeno-san and Buchou are drinking green tea elegantly. Just to be expected from our Onee-sama's, they sure are calm...
Lastly, Makoto and I are just sat together in the corner, quietly.
Ten minutes prior to the match, the magic-circle glows and Grayfia-san appears from it.
"Is everyone ready? Its ten minutes before the match."
Everyone stands up after Grayfia-san confirms us. Grayfia-san then starts to explain about the battle.
"When it becomes the time to start the battle, you will be teleported to the battlefield through this magic circle. The location of the place is in a different dimension used for battles. You may fight with all your power. Its a disposable space so feel free to fight to your satisfaction."
I see. A battle purpose field, huh. So Devils can prepare something like that as well.
"Hey, Buchou?"
"What is it?"
"Buchou, you also have another Bishop, right? Where is that person?"
She makes a sigh at me.
"I killed the other Bishop. They annoyed me, and I had to take action. You know, you annoy me, and I will murder you." I'm scared at her comment. She took action and killed her other Bishop. Seeing my face, Buchou laughs. "I was kidding. The other Bishop can't participate. I will talk about it more in the future."
Grayfia-san then speaks under this weird atmosphere.
"This Rating Game battle will also be viewed by members of both households from a different location through broadcast. Maou Lucifer-sama will also be viewing this battle. Please do not forget about it."
"Onii-sama is? …I see, so Onii-sama is also going to view this battle."
"U-Umm, Buchou, you just called Maou-sama Onii-sama…? Did I hear wrong?"
But Kiba answers me straight away.
"No, Buchou's brother is indeed the Maou-sama."
"M-Maoooooou!? Buchou's Onii-sama is Maou-sama!?"
"Yes."
Buchou confirms it straight away.
"Are you confused because Buchou's family name is different to the names of Maou-sama's?"
Kiba guesses what I'm thinking. It's a bummer but he has it correct.
"Yeah, that's it."
Kiba starts to explain after I admit it reluctantly.
"In the previous Great War, the Maou-sama's was in a critical condition and has passed away a long time ago. But there would be no Devils if there aren't any Maou-sama's. That's why..."
The Devils decided to keep the names of the Maous and let it be inherited to the ones with enormous powers. So the current Four Great Maous are the Ultimate class Devils that are the successors of the first generation Maous that has inherited their names.
"To tell you the truth, out of the three factions of the God, the Fallen Angels and the Devils, the Devils have the least power. We are actually in a tight spot but we are still safe because the current Maou-sama's has a power equal to the previous Maou-sama's."
"So Buchou's brother was chosen to be a Maou from the Ultimate class Devils then?"
Kiba nods at my question.
"Sirzechs Lucifer...who is also known as the Crimson Satan. He is Buchou's brother and the most powerful Maou-sama."
"Its about time. Everyone, please head to the magic circle."
We gather to the magic circle after Grayfia-san urges us to.
"Also, once you get transported, you cannot use the magic circle until the game ends."
So we can only return here after the outcome. As I'm thinking that, the light covers our bodies, and we disappear.
...When I next opened my eyes, we have...not gone anywhere. Everyone doesn't seem shocked. Not even Makoto seems shocked at all.
[Hello everyone. I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phenex.]
School broadcast? Its Grayfia-san's voice.
[In the name of my Master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match. By using both Rias-sama and Raiser-sama's opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kuou academy, which Rias-sama attends to in the human world.]
What! T-Then this clubroom is a replica? Its exactly the same! The location of the furniture and even the scratches on the wall is the exact same so it really has a high reproduction of the real thing!
Oh, hold on. If I look out of the window, the sky is white. It's supposed to be very dark since it's midnight. So did they make a replica of the school in this world of white?
[The location where both teams were transported will be their base. Rias-sama's base would be the Occult Research Cub's clubroom located in the old school building. Raiser-sama's base would be the Student Council's room located in the new building. For the Pawns to use promotion, please head to the enemy's base to do it.]
That's me! So I can't promote unless I go to the enemy's base.
"Everyone, will you all please put this transceiver in your ears."
Akeno-san gives everyone an earphone type transceiver.
Buchou says it while putting it in her ears,
"At the battlefield, we will be using this to communicate with each other."
[Now it's the time for the commencement of the battle. Also, this match will continue till dawn in the humans time. So, Game starts now.]
RING RING
The school bell rings. So this is the ring to signify the start of the match huh.
Like this, our first Rating Game begins!
"First we have to take down Raiser's Pawns. It will be troublesome if they all promote into Queen."
Buchou says it while sitting on the sofa.
"B-Buchou, you seem pretty calm…"
"Ise, the battle just started. The Rating Game is originally a game that doesn't finish in a short time. There are times when it becomes a blitz, but mostly its a game that takes very long. Just like the actual chess game. The Rating Game has a meaning only if you use the battlefield to the fullest. Usually the base would be a fortress, a castle or even a tower. There are forests and rivers between the two bases and we battle using those areas. This time the school is our stage. Yuuto."
"Yes."
Kiba spreads a map on the table after Buchou urges him. Wow, the whole map of our school.
Buchou draws a circle around the old school building and the new school building with a red pen. Oh, I see. She marked our base and the enemy's base.
"There's a forest near our base. Its safe to assume that this is also our territory. In other words the new school building would be Raiser's territory. It's quite possible that there will be an ambush when you enter their territory. The school field is visible from the new school building. So its dangerous to pass through here."
"Then do we have to go through the sports ground to get to the new school building?"
Buchou chuckles at my question.
"Normally, yes. But the enemy will also know that. So he'll have his servant positioned at the sports ground. …He'll have his Knight or Rook positioned at one of the clubrooms located in the sports ground. No, if it's a sports ground, you will need a person with mobility. So he'll have one Knight and three Pawns, a total of four servants positioned here. Then he'll have control of the whole sports ground."
Then Kiba says his thoughts.
"Buchou, its about the gym near the old school building. Shouldn't we occupy this location first? If we capture it here then we will have a route to the new school building. The gym is a passage to both of the buildings so we could also restrain the enemy's movements."
Buchou nods at Kiba's opinion.
"Yes, I also have the same opinion. First we will capture the gym. …In terms of location, the opponent may have his Rook positioned there. Since its inside a building, it would be better to use the Rook with destructive power over Knight with mobility. …Yuuto and Koneko, you two set a trap in the forest. Take another map with you and make sure you mark the places where you set the trap in. I will make a copy afterwards and hand it to everyone."
"Yes."
"…Roger."
Koneko-chan and Kiba leaves the room straight away and takes a map and a weird looking tool box with them.
"Everyone else will be on standby until they finish setting up the trap. Oh, Akeno."
"Yes."
"After Yuuto and Koneko returns, can you cast illusions and mists around the forest and the sky? Obviously a trap that only reacts to Raiser's group. That's how the start of the match will be like, though it seems like this battle will become intense midway through it. So I'll leave the issue regarding the mists and the illusions to you, Akeno."
"I understand, Buchou."
Akeno-san confirms. The strategy has already begun. But, what are Makoto and I supposed to do?
"Makoto. Remember what we discussed the other day?"
"Y-Yes Buchou."
"Are you able to do it?"
"I-I am. B-But it d-doesn't h-heal as m-much a-as I would l-like."
"I see. Well, any healing is better than nothing. So, will you please apply the runes?"
He nods at Buchou. Right, he's going to do what exactly? Apply the runes?
"Buchou..."
"Aha yes. Makoto, being the little genius that he is, has found away to apply healing runes onto people. And, he has found away for Devils to make them react with demonic power. From what he has told me, he can apply a single use rune onto someone so that once activated, it will heal you, or at least heal you as much as it can."
Makoto nods at Buchou as he takes my wrist and then he makes his finger glow bright red. He then draws some kind of weird symbols on my wrist.
"I-I can only a-apply o-one and it w-will only h-help r-recover from m-minor injuries. I-I couldn't e-ever m-make it s-so it could h-heal big injuries. P-Please come to m-me if y-you have a m-major injury."
"Still, a minor injury could be a hindrance out there. Even you Ise, who doesn't have good demonic power can use these. See? My cute Bishop is able to do things like this. Combing Rune symbols and the healing formula. It is said that it is extremely hard to do and it requires a special kind of talent. And only Amaya-sama and her child are able to do this. And well, now Makoto can do it also."
"I-I can't d-do much but I-I can at l-least do this."
After he finishes doing what he is doing, the symbol disappears! What happened? Did I do something wrong? Didn't it work because of me?
"Whats wrong Ise?"
Buchou asks as Makoto goes over to her and starts drawing on her wrist also.
"T-The thing disappeared."
"Yes, that's supposed to happen. When you need it, just concentrate demonic power in your left wrist. Remember, left wrist. If you do that, it will heal what it can. Any injury, as long as it is minor. Now, sit here." She pats her side. I go over and sit next to her. "Lay down here."
W-Wait, is that…the legendary lap pillow!?
"I-I will be in your care!"
I unconsciously bow my head to Buchou politely. I place my head on her nice thighs while crying to myself happily.
"Fuck sake. Why are you crying?"
"Sob, getting a lap pillow from Buchou, I'm so moved that the tears won't stop. I will never forget this sensation. Sob, I'm happy that I was born."
"If its just lap pillow, then I will give it to you again. You seriously are an overreacting bastard that haunts me all the time."
Why does she say I haunt her? Have I ever said anything about haunting her? Buchou then puts her hand on my forehead.
"…I unlocked a small portion of the seal that I had cast on you."
"Huh? Seal?"
The moment I say out the doubt I had, there is a big change in my body.
"Do you remember? The talk about where I used all my eight pieces of Pawns to reincarnate you?"
"Yes."
"At that time, your strength as a Devil was low so I had to put a limit on your power as a Pawn. You, who just reincarnated from human, didn't have a body that could endure the power of eight pieces of Pawns. To put it simply, you would be the strongest after Akeno, so you needed to attain more power or else your body would break. So I just unsealed a bit of the seal."
Unsealing it. Then this power that is flowing within my body is my natural power.
"That training was meant to have you cope with the power of Boosted Gear and the Pawn. Though there are areas you still lack in."
So there was actually a meaning to that harsh training! I'm glad that I went through that training by training hard!
"Listen up, Ise. You have to beat your opponent even if they are girls, okay? You can't hold back. They won't hold back against you because they might think you will haunt them all the time."
"Y-Yes, I understand!"
"That's a good haunter. Use the promotion to change into Queen. The battle will change if you promote into the Queen that possess the strongest power."
"But it feels weird for me, who am a guy, to turn into a Queen."
"For the love of Maou. Why are you against me? Just promote! You wont turn into a girl, you will just have a boost in power! Is that ok with you? When I say do it, you do it!"
Uwah, she's scaring me again.
"Buchou! I will definitely make you win!"
"Yes, I will be relying on you. My adorable, Ise."
I then hear an adorable noise coming from the other side of Buchou. When I looked, I saw Makoto pouting cutely. Hey, even if he is a guy, he's still got the trap look. So, he still looks cute when pouting!
"Whats wrong my adorable Bishop?"
"Uu, B-Buchou...I-I will d-do my b-best also."
"I know you will, since you are my cute Bishop. Is it, you want a hug good luck Otouto?"
"...Y-Yes Onee-s-sama."
Aha! He wants attention off Buchou! That's so sweet! Otouto! Onee-sama! That's the best relationship between those two! Because he can't steal Buchou from me! He can't! He can have the loli!
...Sometime later, everyone's ready to go! Koneko-chan and I head out of the school building. Everyone else has already gone, to do what they are doing. Our target, is the gym.
"Alright!"
I went towards the gym along with Koneko-chan.
Since the main entrance is connected to the new school building, we can't enter from there. That's because our intrusion will be caught by them.
We need to go in from the other door located on the opposite side of the gym. We went there and turn the door knob. It's opened. It's not locked.
But this gym, even the appearance of it looks like the actual thing. It's the same with the old school building where it looks like the real thing. I will believe it if they tell me afterwards that the stage took place at the real Kuou academy.
We come into the back platform from the back door. Since the curtain isn't down, the inside is visible.
I try to look at the court from the corner of the platform, but then Koneko-chan mutters.
"…Presence. Enemy."
"We know you are there, servants of Gremory! We watched you coming inside."
The voice of a woman. Raiser's servants! So they saw us coming inside! We show ourselves.
There are four female Devils standing at the court. If I remember right, the woman with the china dress is the Rook. The twins are the Pawns. And the small girl is also a Pawn. I know it because we were explained about the enemies while having the photo of them shown to us at the clubroom before we came here.
"Boosted Gear, standby."
[Boost!]
"…I will leave the Pawns to you, Ise-senpai. I will take care of the Rook."
"Yeah!"
Both Koneko-chan and I stand in front of our opponent. The china dress woman makes a kung fu stance and the small girl makes a stance with her stick.
Lastly, the twin girls grabs their chainsaws with a smile, hey, a chainsaw!? The chainsaws starts while making a dangerous sound.
""Disassembling time~""
Both of the twins say that happily! Don't be happy about such things!
BANG! BANG!
Koneko-chan and the china dress woman have already begun their fight a bit further away from us.
It looks like a martial arts match because of all the punches they are throwing at each other! Each hit looks powerful since both of them are Rooks. I think Koneko-chan is at an advantage because of her small build, which allows her to move more freely. But the china dress woman is also moving swiftly while doing tricky attacks.
The Pawn girl spins the stick professionally while making a sound. If my memory is right, I think her name is Mira.
""Hey Pawn-kun!""
The twins shouts to me. Ugh, what do they want!? We are about to fight here!
"W-What?"
""Your Bishop is totally cute~ Is he single~?""
Eh? They want...eh? Makoto now? Uwah. They want to date him!?
"He's single!"
"...Don't say that Ise-senpai."
I look to Koneko-chan who is giving me a death glare...uwah, that's not good. She's going to kill me! I'm going to die if I don't refute what I just said!
"He's not single!"
"...Good senpai."
I somehow avoided death by loli. I turn back to the twins.
""Split, split, split, split, split!""
The twins come right at me while grinding their chainsaws to the floor! The chainsaws are making sparkles and they swing them at me!
I tackle one of the twins with my shoulder and put some distance between us. If it's a simple move like this, then the Boosted Gear won't reset. If I get too carried away and attack them, the power will return to the original state!
SWISH!
A sound of something being pointed at me from behind.
"Wow!"
I also dodge this attack by a margin as well. The stick passes through my armpit sharply! It's an attack from the girl called Mira! I dodged it this time!
When I showed some confidence, the chainsaw grazes my cheek! From the pain I felt, it's certainly bleeding. When I look carefully, my uniform is cut in different places. Ugh, looks like I'm in a pretty dangerous situation.
[Boost!]
The second power up! They don't hesitate to attack... I dodge the attacks that are coming from above me by moving my body to the side, and I dodge the attacks coming from the side by jumping and ducking down! I guard the attacks of the stick that is coming from the front by crossing my arms!
"Ah, geez! This is so frustrating~!"
"Why isn't it hitting him!?"
The chainsaw twins seem pissed so they start to step on the floor violently.
"…I can't break through his guard."
Looks like the stick girl is also irritated that her attacks aren't hitting me effectively.
Too bad. I also trained like hell as well. I won't be able to face Buchou and the others if I lose instantly!
[Boost!]
Here it is! My third boost! It's here!
"Let's do it, my Sacred Gear-kun!"
[Explosion!]
I will fight them in this state! My whole body is getting overflowed with power! A powered-up state for a temporarily time! I won't waste it even for a bit!
"I will take care of you two first!"
I run towards one of the twins. Fast! It may be weird coming from me but that's a good dash!
The opponents can't react to my movements for a slight moment. She swings her chainsaw after she realises the situation she is in, but my fist has already reached her!
BANG!
One of the twin Pawns went flying with my hit.
"You! How dare you hit my Onee-chan!"
The little sister of the girl I just hit aims her chainsaw towards me, but I twist my body and hit the girl! The younger sister of the chainsaw twin falls down to the floor.
"Haa!"
The stick girl with a childish face thrust her stick towards me! I will make sure it works this time!
"Daa!"
BREAK!
I cut down her stick with my karate chop. Ouch! The stick is harder than I thought!
I hit away the girl who just lost her weapon without a moment to spare!
"Kyaaah!"
The young girl rolls on the floor while making a scream.
"Ku!"
The sound of the china dress woman. When I look, the china dress woman has her hands on the floor and Koneko-chan is still maintaining her fighting stance.
"Geez! If we lose to a guy like him, Raiser-sama will get mad at us!"
One of the chainsaw girls fixes her position and makes a negative comment.
"We will definitely dissemble you into pieces!"
The twin turns on their chainsaws once again.
Fufufu, you won't be able to act in such way any longer. I already accomplished the necessary conditions for activating my ultimate technique.
"Take this! My new ultimate technique! Dress Break!"
Click! At the same time I click my fingers, the chainsaw twins and the stick girl's clothes gets blown away.
Yes, even their underclothes are blown to pieces! The white curvy bodies of the girls are exposed right in front of me.
Wow, all three of them still need some growth, but this is also wonderful in its own way!
[N-Noooooooooooooooooo!]
Their scream echoes within the gym. All three of them ducks down to the floor and are trying to hide their private parts.
"Ahahahahaha! How's that!? This is my technique! And the name of it is Dress Break! I just kept on imaging the girl's clothing getting blown away into pieces! I spent all of the talent I have in making a technique that will make all of the girls naked!"
"You are the worst! You are the enemy of every woman!"
"Beast! You sex fiend!"
The chainsaw twins starts to bad mouth me while having tears in their eyes. I will gladly accept those words.
"...Mako-senpai protect me from the predator."
[Ise, the thing that haunts me. Koneko, the loli. Can you hear me? Its me. Its lovely Buchou!]
Lovely Buchou! She's amazing as always!
"Yes! Both Koneko-chan and I are safe! More like we are doing well right now!"
[That's super good to hear. But Akeno's preparation is also completed! I want you two to move accordingly with the plan! Move your buns out of there! Buchou style!]
Buchou's order! I nod after exchanging a glance with Koneko-chan.
"Are you running away!? This location is supposed to be a crucial place!"
Raiser's servants become shocked by our actions.
Yeah, you are right. This certainly is a crucial place. A location that connects the old school building with the new school building. In chess, it will be the centre. Its apparently very important. That's why both sides came here! To obtain this place!
That's why there is a meaning to this! To make this place as our decoy!
Koneko-chan and I leaves from the central entrance.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
A huge lightning falls down onto the gym with a sound.
When the lightning stops, the gym that is supposed to be in front of us gets wiped out.
"Mako-kun owes me four now~"
Akeno-san's voice. When I turn around, I can see Akeno-san with a smiley face that is flying through the air with her black wings spread. She has her right hand raised upwards. And her hand is sparkling with electricity. But, what did she mean by, Makoto owes her four? Owes her four what?
[Raiser Phenex-sama's three Pawns and one Rook retires.]
Grayfia-san's voice who is the arbiter echoes through the battlefield. Akeno-san took them out with one attack! Akeno-san is amazing!
"We did it, Koneko-chan."
I try to put my hand on her shoulder, but she avoids me.
"...Horrible..."
She says that with a scorn voice and she's glaring at me.
"Hahaha, don't worry. I won't use it on my comrades."
"…Even so, it is a very low technique."
[Everyone, can you hear me? Its lovely Buchou! Akeno did a perfect attack and finished it! With this, the first phase of our plan is completed! Be proud of yourselves!]
I can hear Buchou's voice from the transceiver I have in my ears. She sounds really happy.
Buchou's plan has succeeded! To throw aside the important location and use it to attack is something to be reckoned with! Defeating one Rook and three Pawns was a big plus! We still haven't lost any of our members, so we started off with a good start!
[That lightning takes time to charge it to use for the second time after she uses it. So using it continuously is impossible. Though the enemy still has a greater number than us. We will also head out as soon as Akeno's demonic power recovers, so I will leave the rest to each of you till then. So please move on to the next phase!]
"Yes!"
So Buchou and Makoto are heading out!
Me and Koneko-chan's next move is…to regroup with Kiba and defeat the enemy located at the sports court!
It happens then.
BANG!
A sudden explosive sound is made nearby. When I look at where the sound came from...
"…K-Koneko-chan!"
Koneko-chan is lying on the floor a bit away from me while smokes arise from her. I went to her quickly and hold her!
"K-Koneko-chan! Use that healing thing that Makoto placed on you!"
"...I already have...too much damage...it hurts less...thanks to...Mako-senpai."
"Take."
An unknown voice. When I look up, there is a shadow up in the air flying with its wings spread. It's a woman dressed up as a mage and wearing her hood. It's Raiser's servant! So Raiser's servant did this to Koneko-chan! I'm sure that is Raiser's Queen! The sudden appearance of the strongest servant!
"Fufufu. When you hunt a prey, the best time to take them down is when the prey accomplished something because that's the time when the prey is the most vulnerable. Its enough for us to sacrifice many of our pieces in order to take down one of you. Your group has a small number of members to begin with. That alone will be enough to give a huge damage to your group, right? Even if you defeat us, you cannot defeat Raiser-sama. Its useless to resist."
The magician woman laughs as if she finds it amusing. Then it happened, Koneko-chan's body got covered in lights. And then she disappeared from here.
[Rias Gremory-sama's Rook retries.]
A cruel announcement.
Buchou explained it to me before. When we take a certain amount of damage and get into a condition where we can no longer fight, we retire and get teleported out of the battlefield by force. The destination is a place with medical equipment.
My body shakes with anger.
"Come down heeeeeere! I'll be your opponent!"
I ignored about the next plan and started provoking the enemy who defeated Koneko-chan. Even I know it's a foolish act.
"Fufufu. What a noisy Pawn boy. Do you want to explode like that girl from before?"
The mage put her hands towards me! I'm going to get shot!
"Ara ara. I will be your opponent. Raiser Phenex-sama's Queen, Yubelluna-san. Or should I call you the Bomb Queen?"
Akeno-san comes between us as if she is trying to protect me.
"I don't like that name because of its bad taste, Priestess of Thunder. Though I was hoping I can fight you."
"Ise-kun, meet up with Yuuto-kun. I will take care of here."
"B-But!"
"Ise-kun. You have your own role, correct? Go then. This matter here is my job. Besides, if I defeat this Queen, Mako-kun will just have to treat me to something good~"
A golden aura covers Akeno-san's body! I can tell how powerful she is just by looking at it. Akeno-sans demonic power that is. The strongest person in our group, our Queen!
"Akeno-san! I will leave this place to you!"
After I say that, I turn around and head towards the sports court where Kiba is waiting for after that, a violent roar of lightning and explosions echoes from behind me. The battle changes from the opening to the mid game.
