After the long and waiting days for this to happen, the Demon Sword Tournament has begun. Azazel, the man who is instructing this whole tournament sends messages to everyone who is part of this, telling them to make their way to a colosseum design arena. Over twenty four fighters and a few other spectators arrive to the arena first, arriving to this massive colosseum that could hold up to thousands of people. Azazel help design this arena, wanted to use an amazing human architecture design and recreate the colosseum so they could fight in style and to fight like gladiators.

Millicas and his friends arrive to the colosseum, arriving into the centre of it all and got a good look at the stadium, shocked to see how many people could fit in here. "Bloody hell..." Millicas said when entering the arena and getting a good look at the place. "This is amazing."

"I've never seen something like this before." Maria said

"I've seen something like this on Earth." Stella said when looking to the others "I've seen this in Rome. It was once an old and ancient arena, fit for gladiators to fight each other for survival and for freedom."

"Well Azazel has done a pretty good job." Samuel said. He turns around and notices him coming towards them. "Speaking of yellow eyes."

Azazel sighs and rolls his eyes "It's bad enough hearing it from Vali, now I got to hear it from you two."

Millicas laughs a bit "Hey we can't get it out of our heads. Your probably the only one we know of who is from that show."

"Well… Have you two figured out the five principles of who can't die from that gun that could kill anything yet?"

"Kind of." Samuel said "We got Great Red, Ophis, Trihexa, angels and…. Millicas' mon?"

"Hey…"

"Can we go or are you planning on talking about this for a long time?' Adria steps in with her hands on her hips

"Uhh anyways… When is this place going to get crowded?" Millicas asks Azazel

"In a few hours." Azazel said "There are some who haven't arrived yet, so we'll be seeing them soon." He looks back to Millicas "Rias Gremory and her friends have arrived."

"Rias…" Millicas mutters her name, he looks back to the others "Guess it's time to see my aunt again."

Samuel looks back to the other side of the arena, noticing Ayase coming towards them. He looks to Millicas and the others "You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up."

Millicas turns around and notices Ayase "Going out with your girlfriend?"

"Shut up." Samuel walks over to Ayase

"Forget him." Millicas looks back to Azazel "Is it still just Kiba and Xenovia taking part of this?"

"Yeah. Rias and the others are playing as spectators, so you don't have to worry about Issei using that 'ability' of his against your friends."

"Good."

"His ability?" Stella looks to Adria

"You don't want to go down that road." Adria replies

"At least he didn't use it when he came to the tournament." Maria said

"That's good." Millicas said "Now I got one dragon to face in this arena."

Elsewhere, outside the arena, Rias and all of her peerages arrive at the front of the colosseum through teleportation, using the symbol of the Gremory Clan that brought them all here. Rias and her friends all wore different casual clothing, all except for Xenovia who was wearing her casual battle gear clothing.

"Holy shit!" Issei looks up at the colosseum "This place is epic!"

"Azazel really wanted to make this tournament great." Kiba said "He changed the architecture of this place again, didn't he?" He looks to Rias

"Yes." Rias said while still looking up at the structure and crossing her arms "Azazel design the other tournaments in different areas, I guess he just wanted to spruce things up for every tournament."

"It was such a shame that Issei isn't part of this." Akeno starts to giggle "We'd be all rooting for you, Issei." She comes up to him from behind and presses her body against him, making him blush and smiles a bit.

"Akeno!" Rias looks back to her with a furious look "Hands off my husband."

"Oh come on…" Akeno lets go of him and looks to Rias "You can't have him all to yourself."

"Yes I can."

Asia turns around and notices Millicas and the group approaching them from behind "Hey, it's Millicas!"

Rias' peerage all turns towards Millicas' group, seeing them coming towards them and meeting together in the centre of this arena. As the two get closer, both Rias and Millicas embraces each other with open arms, giving each other a nice hug.

"Millicas." Rias said while wrapping her arms around him "So good to see you again."

"You too." Millicas said "I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"So she's Millicas' aunt." Stella whispers "Rias Gremory."

"Yeah. Just look at them, like brothers and sisters." Adria said

Rias lets go of Millicas and looks back to his friends behind him "I notice Samuel isn't here. Where is –" She stops looking at the others when seeing Stella Vermillion. "Hmn… You're new."

"Uhm…" Stella looks to Millicas

Millicas speaks for her "This is Stella Vermillion, she's…." He hesitates at first, but he looks to Rias and says it clearly to her "She's my girlfriend."

"What!? You have a girlfriend?"

Millicas sighs while looking to the side and placing his hands in his pocket "Here it comes."

"No way…" Issei mumbles while checking out Stella as she just stands there with her hands together in front of her "Millicas got a good looking girl like that…"

"What's that supposed to mean!?" Millicas looks towards Issei since he heard that. Issei ends up looking away and whistling just to ignore him.

"She looks cute." Akeno said "Perfect for Millicas."

"I agree." Rias said when looking back to Stella "It's a pleasure to meet you, Stella Vermillion."

Stella simply bows to Rias and responds "Thank you."

"Don't be embarrassed." Rias said "Tell me about yourself before the tournament can begin."

"I'm dying to know your relationship with Millicas." Akeno said

Stella looks back to Millicas as she was not sure how to deal with this right now. Millicas says to her "You can chat with them if you want, we got time until the tournament begins."

"Okay then." Stella looks back to them

"Let's have a chat somewhere private, just girl talk." Rias said while coming to the side of her, placing her left hand over the back of her and walks with her and Akeno somewhere private.

Stella looks back to Millicas as they walk away then looks forward while the rest of the group comes closer to one another and watches them leave. Issei says to Millicas "You sure have a gorgeous girl."

"Yeah, don't even think about it."

"What?" Issei takes a step back from Millicas "I haven't done anything?"

"And that is exactly what you will be doing." Millicas looks to Issei 'Because if you even think of perving my girl or even think about using that 'ability' of yours. You Are Going To Die."

"….."

"He's… Not joking." Adria said to Issei

"So… How did you two meet?" Xenovia asks Millicas

"Well… Complicated."

"He met her on the first day of school and was force to fight her." Adria said

"That's similar to how I met Raynare." Issei said

"I just knew you would become a type of bachelor." Kiba said

"I always expected that would happen."

"Maybe you can make a TV show called the Devil's Bachelor." Issei said while laughing a bit

"Isn't that already a show?" Maria asks

"If I was on that show then I'd probably do a better job than your show." Millicas said

"Hey, you like my show. You were such a fan."

"Well not anymore!"

"Ah, so you're all here now." Azazel interrupts them and got their attention "Good, you best be saying goodbye to one another, because everyone else is coming and the tournament is about to start."

"Well, give it all you got down there and don't submit." Issei says to Kiba and Xenovia

"We won't lose the first round." Xenovia said while raising her right fist in front of her

"Somebody's going to lose the first round and it is not going to be me." Said Samuel

"Unless you're fighting me." Millicas said "Which I'm going to win."

"Yeah right." Samuel turns around, but stops when looking back towards the entrance, seeing some more competitors arriving. He soon saw Kuraudo coming into the arena, which got him tense when he saw him.

All the competitors make their way to the underground complex and wait for them to come back out to introduce themselves to the crowd. As they wait underground, more competitors arrive while the stadium begins to fill up the seats with many devils and fallen angels who want to watch this tournament. This here takes a while, but almost all of the competitors arrive underground and began to either talk to friendly competitors while those who do not care for others, stays away from them.

"This is going to take a while." Samuel said when sitting back on this bench and leans back against the back of the wall with his hands at the back of his head

"I can't believe it's actually here." Millicas said who sits next to Samuel

"Nervous?"

"A little."

"Well you should be, because thousands of people are watching this and even your family. If you screw this up, there probably going to kick you out."

"…."

"Samuel!" Adria shouts out to him and got him to startle when hearing her near him. "Don't say such a thing."

Stella comes down into the complex to join the others, coming towards Tilmitt who was nearby and stands beside her. Tilmitt asks her "You alright?"

"Yeah… I'm fine."

Millicas notices her and got off his bench and went over to see her "Hey. How did everything go with Rias and Akeno?"

Stella looks to him and sighs deeply "They… Well… Akeno, made me tell them that I am your servant."

"Oh… Knew that was going to happen…"

"Akeno was going too much, I just couldn't say anything because I might accidently say something worse to her."

"She's like that."

"And Rias is nice. She wanted to give me a few pointers on handling this relationship and handling your harem."

"Rias said that?"

"Mhmmnn…"

Millicas sighs and looks back "Unbelievable."

Tilmitt looks to Stella "Are you feeling nervous of this tournament?"

Stella looks to Tilmitt "To be honest, I feel kind of nervous right now, but not sure if it was because of Rias and Akeno or this."

"Stay strong." Tilmitt said

"I bet the people are strong."

"You should have seen the previous tournaments." Millicas said when looking back to the two "The final match was the longest."

"It was Vali, right?" Stella asks

"Yeah. I saw Vali Lucifer struggled to defeat his last opponent, the girl he fought was pretty powerful and those two could have gone on for hours, but Vali won the match."

"Who was it who fought Vali?" Samuel calls out to Millicas

Millicas looks back to Samuel "It was some girl named Ein."

During the wait, Sara arrives to join the group and gave Millicas a hug, which got Stella into a jealousy look, but she calms down and thinks about what she is going to do to her if she faces her in a match. Afterwards, Tohka and her friend Kanata arrives to join them, standing alone together while the others are talking to one another. Later on, more arrives and stays from one another for the time being, but only one new face comes to see Millicas again and to cause serious problems with the others.

A woman comes towards Millicas, appearing in her late twenties with long black hair that reaches down to her waist, pale skin with pointy ears and red eyes. She wears mostly black clothes, wearing a black dress with a black underdress, which shows her cleavage, a skirt that reaches down halfway her thighs and has black long boots with black stockings underneath them.

Millicas looks over to her, getting into a pause state when seeing her approaching him and the others. Millicas and Samuel got up off their seats, getting Samuel to move back with Adria while Millicas stands where he is.

"Who is that?" Sara asks while standing near Adria

"It's Beatrice."

"She's a vampire." Tilmitt said quietly, which got Stella's attention as she now realises it now and remembers a time when Millicas said that there was someone he knew is taking part of the tournament, a vampire who knows him very well.

"A vampire…" Stella looks back to Beatrice and Millicas. "So it's her."

"Beatrice. It's been a while."

"Yes it has…" Beatrice whispers to Millicas while smiling to him "It's been a while, Millicas."

Beatrice moves closer to Millicas and without warning, she gives him a sudden kiss. Everyone who saw it gasps while Stella almost let loose a jealousy flame around her body when she saw Beatrice kissing her boyfriend.

"What the hell!?" Stella shouts out towards the two.

Beatrice remains where she is for a few seconds, keeping her lips against his while Millicas just stands there with his eyes widen and blushing. Beatrice finally moves her head back, smiling to him and says "Really wanted to do that to you."

"B-B-Beatrice…"

Stella walks over to the two while showing a lot of sparks happening around her "Alright you bitch, get away from Millicas!"

"Stella…" Tilmitt comes behind her and grabs her shoulder "It's not the time for killing your opponents yet."

Beatrice turns towards Stella "And who might you be? I don't like fire, but if you do stand in my way from being with Millicas, then you are going to regret it." She suddenly covers herself with this aura of black and red around her body, as if she was using Millicas' destructive aura.

"She's using your power." Adria said when taking a few steps back from Beatrice

Millicas sighs "Yeah… Beatrice…" He steps forward and grabs her shoulder, making her stop her aura and looks towards him. "Enough."

Beatrice lowers her powers and calms down, she changes her mood to innocent to Millicas "I'm sorry, Millicas."

"Hey." Stella calls to her and made her look back to her "Millicas belongs to me, so you better get lost."

"Why don't you make me?" Beatrice returns to her serious look back at Stella.

"Hey!" Someone calls out to them and got their attention. "You people better not be picking fights down here before the tournament begins. If you do, then you'll be dealing with me."

Millicas moves to the side next to Beatrice to get a look at the person who said that. He gets a surprise when seeing another familiar face "Hey… Beowulf!"

"Hey Millicas. Good to see you." Beowulf looks at the others and takes a few steps towards them "I want a perfect tournament, so I don't want to deal with any outside battles. If you want to fight someone, take it in the arena. If you even think of causing any shit down here, I'll throw you out."

Everyone went quiet after hearing that and lowers their powers down to minimum, after that, Beowulf turns back and returns to the surface.

The Demon Sword Tournament went underway and the people who are taking part of this went underneath the colosseum so they could wait until they are brought out together. Everyone else, both devils and fallen angels came to watch the tournament, quickly picking their seats and prepare for an amazing tournament.

Azazel and the council of the Underworld came to the V.I.P area with him, sitting in a perfect area to watch the tournament. Azazel greets some friends like Lord Phenex and Lady Phenex, Lord Zeoticus Gremory and Venelana Gremory, Sirzechs and Grayfia, Rias and Issei. They all got a comfy seats near each other and wait for the crowd to fill up the seats across this large stadium.

After an hour has gone by, the stadium was set and ready to go, but the only thing they need is a speech from Azazel who is in charge of this tournament. He got off his seat and addresses himself to the crowd, saying "Welcome to the fourth annual Demon Sword Tournament! We have put up an amazing show this time and we have new faces making their first appearances into the tournament. So without further adjure, I bring to you the finest and youngest fighters you will ever see here!"

One of the people from the underground complex came to the surface, revealed as Beowulf, the man who is a referee and a pawn in Sirzechs Peerage. He came to the surface and brought everyone underground with him, following him from behind and making their way to the middle so the crowd could cheer and to see who is in this tournament. They could see a handful of competitors from Hagun Academy like Millicas, Sara, Stella, Kanata, Samuel, Ayase, Adria, Ikki and Shizuku. The rest of the people are from either different academies or peerages from high ranking devils who wishes to take part of this tournament and nearly half the people here are the youngest ones of them all.

"Wow…" Millicas said while looking out at the crowd, hearing the crowd cheering for him and everyone else

"Stand up straight." Beowulf calls out to them "If you can't handle this many people then you're better off out of this tournament."

"This is going to be amazing…" Adria said while standing next to Samuel and away from Millicas

"I hope everything goes well for all of us." Ayase said to Samuel who was standing in front of her.

Samuel looks back and responds "Yeah." He then turns his head towards Kuraudo who was standing at the back.

"Hmmnn… I smell a dog." Beatrice said when looking around at the competitors and stops when seeing Loup Garou in the mix of the competitors. He did hear her and turns his head towards her, getting a staring competition against one another.

"Alright, listen up." Beowulf calls out "I am the referee of these matches, so when I say the match is over, the match is over. If you don't do as I say then you'll be dealing with me. Okay, so the rules are a simple all out fight against your opponent, you can use anything you want against them and you don't have to worry about hurting the spectators." Beowulf looks out at the crowd "They have a powered protection dome done by Azazel to absorb anything it makes contact with, so you won't harm anyone but your opponent. So when you face your opponent, you will be fighting everything you got, including techniques that would result in your opponent's death."

"No way, for real?" Xenovia mutters when hearing that last part

"It's going to be difficult to show mercy to those who would want only to kill." Adria said

"Don't need to worry about that." Kiba says to Xenovia "They have people behind the scenes, waiting for a near death experience happens to one of the fighters. I've seen it before in the last year's tournament, everyone lives in these tournaments."

"You really mean it?" Xenovia asks him and got a simple nod from Kiba

"This is going to be troublesome." Stella said

"Cheer up." Tilmitt says to Stella who was standing behind her "We'll be alright, trust in yourself."

"Hmmnn I know."

"I guess I could go all out with my powers in this tournament." Millicas thinks to himself "Now I know how Vali and the others were able to fight all out without hurting the spectators."

"Now. When I call out your name, you will come to the arena and face your opponent. I have the list of who will be facing who, but you will not know of your opponent's identity until I say so."

"That's going to be tough." Stella says to herself

Samuel sighs and mutters to himself "That means we can't prepare for whoever we face until it's too late."

"I sure hope I'm facing someone who could stand a chance against me." Millicas said while looking to the left then to the right at the ones near him.

"Now then, when I call out your name, you will be fighting first in the first round while the rest of you can stay underground and wait until the match is over." Beowulf takes a few steps back then places his hands at the back of his waist and shouts out to two people to come forth. "Ikki and Kiba! Come forth."

Kiba gasps lightly when hearing his name, surprised to be put at the start of the match and so did Ikki too. Both of them did as they were told, they came to the front and stood together in front of the group, both looking at one another then back towards Beowulf.

"You two will be fighting first, so the rest of you, get going."

Everyone turns back and starts walking back inside, but Xenovia calls out to Kiba, saying to him "Good luck." Then turns back and walks back with the others. Both Ikki and Kiba turns to face one another then takes a few steps away from each other so they got some space while Beowulf stands back and spectates the battle from here.

"So Kiba is fighting first." Issei said when looking at this screen in front of him, seeing the view up close of the two then looks back out towards them "But who is he fighting?"

"He's from the Kurogane Clan." Rias said "One of the nobles of the Underworld."

"Yes, and only two of the children out of three are here right now, taking part of this tournament." Sirzechs said

"It was difficult to put some of these fighters against one another." Azazel said "But I may have pulled it off."

"Let's hope your right." Sirzechs said "So who is Millicas fighting?"

"I can't tell you that." Azazel said to him "You got to have to wait."

Both fighters are set and ready to begin, but all they need to do now is call upon their weapons and prepare for battle. Ikki becomes the first, calling upon his katana blade known as 'Intetsu' while Kiba places his hand on the ground, creating a couple of swords of his choice that rises up out of the ground around him. Once he grabs a weapon nearby and holds onto it, Beowulf calls out for those words they have been waiting for.

"Begin!"

Ikki charges in with both hands to his sword and the same goes to Kiba when he grabs a blade in front of him and charges towards Ikki. The two clash swords against one another, holding each other's ground for a while, but they start clashing rapidly against one another. The two fight on until Ikki manage to break the sword Kiba was using in pieces, he quickly went to grab two blades from the ground and attacks Ikki through dual wielding. Ikki continues to block most of his attacks, but could see that Kiba began going on serious offensive against Ikki by using stronger weapons that makes things difficult for Ikki to defend.

Meanwhile, back inside the underground complex, everyone was watching this battle from television sets that are put against the top corners of the wall, allowing the competitors to watch it while they are down there. They were seeing a tense fight between these two fighters and it looks like Kiba is getting closer of defeating Ikki.

"Your friend is really strong." Millicas said to Xenovia

"Well of course he is, but he hasn't used his secret weapon yet." Xenovia said while crossing her arms and keeps watching the screen

"Secret weapon?" Samuel asks

Kiba knocks Ikki back with his two swords he wields, pushing him back and causing Ikki to breathe a bit heavily after taking a few cuts from Kiba. Once he catches his breath, he looks back to Kiba and finally masters his opponent's technique in battle. He clashes against Kiba, suddenly pushing him back and predicts every movement he makes against him, making Kiba struggle to lay a strike against Ikki.

"What's going on?" Millicas asks "Kiba had this in the bag."

"It's my brother's technique." Said Shizuku who stands behind them, getting them to look back at the little girl in the room

"Who the…"

"You're Shizuku Kurogane." Adria said

"My big brother has perfect vision and a technique called 'Blade Steal'. He just stole your friend's skills and is now using it against him."

"No way." Xenovia looks back at the screen, seeing Kiba losing another sword to Ikki and forcing him to quickly take out a much better weapon. "No matter." She looks back to Shizuku "Kiba can still beat him."

"I don't think he can." Millicas said while still watching the screen

Ikki Kurogane overwhelms Kiba and knocks him back, but as close as Ikki is getting from winning, Kiba prepares to launch a desperate attack against him. He plans to unleash his Balance Breaker, his technique where he begins creating a small platoon of knights that surrounds Kiba, forcing Ikki to jump back and stay away. Kiba continues, bringing the knights out of the ground and making them wield holy weapons. Kiba also equips himself in the same armour like the others, as well as a new weapon so he could protect himself well against Ikki and to also trick him by hiding within the ranks of his soldiers. However, Ikki could see Kiba clearly and knows where he is, but taking him out and the knights out would be difficult.

"You've really outdid yourself." Ikki said when lowering his sword and looking at the knights "However, I've been trained for this and I'm ready to attack with all the strength I have." Ikki takes his right leg back and his left leg forward. He aims the point of his sword forward to the side of his face and holds onto the handle with both hands onto it. He suddenly covers himself in this strange white aura the moment he says these words "Ittou Shura!"

Kiba sends three of his knights to charge towards Ikki while the rest stands around him just to analyse the situation. Once the knights got closer, Ikki activates one of his abilities when saying these words "Saigeki!" He suddenly went straight through the three knights and shatters them to pieces with this technique without Kiba and the others knew what just happen. Ikki appears right in front of Kiba since he uses his quick speed to appear in front of him and quickly attacks. Kiba blocks it on time, but it sent back with this overwhelming power from Ikki and lets his knights handle this. His knight's surrounds Ikki, but they are unable to deliver a single hit against him as he evades them so fast with his technique and manage to take one of them out.

"He's gotten faster." Kiba said to himself then quickly backs away when Ikki comes charging towards him. He stops moving back and decides to charge in, charging straight towards Ikki, but the moment the two clash, Kiba manage to go straight through him as if it was a mirage. "What?"

The real Ikki Kurogane stands right behind him, having his back facing Kiba and says these words before ending this "The secret technique. Shinkirou." He turns back and charges and so does Kiba when realising that he was standing behind him.

The two clash weapons against each other one last time, causing a pause between one another and a pause for the crowd as they have no idea who is going to collapse. In the end, Ikki moves and stands tall while Kiba felt a strong strike across his chest and collapses onto the floor. Kiba falls to the ground while his knights and his armour shatters. The crowd cheers for Ikki Kurogane while those in the V.I.P area applauds to this fight, but Rias and Issei was bit of a surprise when they realise that their best friend and knight falls in the first round of the tournament.

"I don't believe it." Issei said when leaning forward on his chair "Kiba lost."

"I'm surprise as much as you are." Rias said "How did this happen?"

"Looks like your friend underestimated your opponent." Azazel said "Ikki wields incredible skills with the sword, he caught your friend with one of his skills and your friend thought he was hitting something."

"I guess that's one member down of team Rias." Sirzechs said

Rias leans back from her chair, sighing to herself and crossing her arms and legs. "I knew I should have put Akeno in this tournament."

Beowulf steps in while the two competitors leave the colosseum, having the two check for a medical examination before Ikki could return with the other competitors while Kiba joins the rest of the crowd. "The next match will begin right now. The next contestants will be Stella and Adria."

In the underground waiting room, one of the security notifiers approaches the others and calls out Stella and Adria to move to the arena. Millicas, Stella and Adria was shock to see that the two will be fighting in the second round, which is a surprising start for the tournament.

Adria sighs while getting up off her seat and looks towards Stella "I guess we'll be fighting each other after all."

Stella gets up and nods "Yeah."

"I can't believe you two are next already." Millicas said

"I wonder who's going to win this round." Samuel said

"Well, no matter what happens out there, were going to give it our all." Adria said

"Yeah."

"Although I plan to beat this princess to the ground." Adria takes her leave from the others while Stella raises both eyebrows up for a moment when she heard that.

"Seriously?"

Adria looks back "Too much?"

"Yeah pretty much." Samuel said

"Well, best of luck then." Adria looks forward and makes her way to the arena

"Good luck out there, Stella." Millicas said to her before she leaves too, getting her to look back to Millicas and smiles to him

"I'll be alright, just as long as you cheer for me."

"I will."

"Then I'll win." Stella looks forward and began taking her walk to the surface.

Both Stella and Adria arrives to the surface and stands together to face each other in the arena. Once Beowulf gives the word, the two prepares for their turn to battle against one another to determine who is strong enough to reach the second round and who is to fall right here and now.
