Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Later, Riser sat next to Rias, sipping a cup of tea and having an arm around her shoulder, his fingers playing with her hair. Rias herself looked annoyed and needing to be somewhere else. "Ah~, the tea prepared by my Rias's Queen is the most delicious," he stated in a condescending voice as he looked at Akeno.
She bowed down to him and replied, "Thank you very much, my Lord."
The rest of the peerage stood and saw him playing with her hair. Issei didn't like him. From what she's seen of him so far, he's a...
Scumbag, she thought. She then saw him rub her thighs. She clearly looked uncomfortable when he did that and play with her hair, making the brown-haired girl clench her fists.
"Enough," Rias sharply said as she stood up to get away from his hands. "Riser, I have told you many times, I am NOT going to marry you."
He scoffed. "Come on, my lovely Rias. Think about your family's situation. They're desperate enough to not allow to be so inconsiderate."
She looked back at him angrily. "And I will not allow my household to come in ruins. I intend for you to become a part of it, but not as my husband. I can marry whoever I wish."
"But it's a matter of all devils keeping pure-blood devils thriving after significant loses from the last war. Both your father and Sirzechs had decided this arrangement with the future in mind."
Issei muttered under her breath, "Sirzechs?"
"The President's older brother," Kiba replied to her.
She gasped a little, looking at him. "Older brother?" She didn't know about that either.
"My father, brother, and entire family are in too great of a rush," Rias retorted. "I will not say this again, Riser." She fully faced him and said, "I will not marry you!"
He stood up and grabbed her chin, his face inches from hers. "Now, now, remember that I bear the reputation of the House of Phoenix." His glare became as sharp as daggers. "I cannot have you besmirching our good name."
"President!" Issei cried out, looking worried about her along with the rest of the peerage.
Riser then looked at them, smirking. "Even if I have to incinerate every single one of your servants..." He looked back at the red-haired beauty. "I will take you back to the Underworld with me." Both of their eyes then flickered, Riser's orange with flames, Rias's red. Both looked ready to fight each other.
"I must ask you two to put an end to this," Grayfia stated. Their eyes went back to normal as they both looked at her. "My Lady, Riser-sama, since I am here under the order of Sirzechs-sama, I will not hold back one iota."
The blonde-haired man then got his hand off of Rias and continued smirking, shrugging. "When one such thing is ordered by the woman known as the ultimate queen, even I become fearful."
"My master had anticipated that this would happen. This is why he decided to assign me a last resort, if such things could go awry."
The red-haired woman looked curious. "A last resort? Explain, Grayfia."
"If you are very insistent with going on with your wishes, My Lady, you can settle this with Riser-sama through a Rating Game." Rias gasped at that suggestion.
"Rating Game...?" asked Issei. "I've heard that before..." She remembered Sona mentioning it before.
"It's a chess-like game where noble devils engage in a competitive battle, their servants helping as well," Kiba explained to her.
"It's like chess?"
"Correct," Akeno answered. "This is why servants like us are called Evil Pieces, given the powers modeled after chess pieces." Now the female pervert understood why the peerage was made after chess pieces. It made sense.
"I've played through the game time after time," Riser began. "And I have won them all." He then faced his angered fiancee. "You, on the other hand, have not even been qualified for an official game." She looked more angry at him, since she didn't like to be underestimated.
"It's only the mature devils that compete," the dark-haired female added.
Issei gasped. "Then we're at a disadvantage!"
"It isn't our only disadvantage," Koneko stated, making her look at her with concern. What did she mean by that?
"Dear Rias, just to be sure, are these ALL of your servants?" Riser asked her.
"And if they are?" Rias replied bitingly, making him laugh.
He then snapped his fingers, another large orange magic circle appearing, bursting into a large flame. Several girls had appeared within those flames. One had purple hair and was wearing scantily-cladded purple outfit. "I have a full set of servants, all 15," he stated. Three other girls appeared, one Chinese, the other in a shrine outfit, and the other looking like a warrior. Another row of girls appeared, one wearing a kimono, another in a scantily-cladded warrior outfit, two others being maids, and the last in a less scantily-cladded warrior outfit. Another group of the girls also appeared, two of them being green-haired twins, another two being twin cats with different hair colors, and the last of them wearing a suggestive mercenary-like outfit. Finally, the last girl appeared, wearing a pink lolita dress and having blonde hair and blue eyes like Riser's, her hair being in ringlets.
The brown-haired pervert looked absolutely shocked at the number of girls there...and the fact that they were all girls. "Jeez, you have a lot of girls!" she exclaimed. "What do you have here, a harem?!"
Riser laughed again. "You're absolutely right, girl!" he replied to her.
Now she looked appalled. "Seriously?" She did want a boyfriend and a reverse harem of servants, but this looked sad to her.
He scoffed at her. "You wouldn't know the pleasure of having a harem like this, lowly imp."
She pouted at him and without a second thought, she shouted, "I only want a boyfriend and a reverse harem of servants! So YOU wouldn't know the pleasure of having those!" The peerage, including Rias, did sweat-drop when she said that. Kiba did feel a little uneasy about what she said though...
He looked a bit puzzled at her. "A boyfriend? A reverse harem of servants?" He then chuckled. He thought that was stupid, but he got an idea to tease her with. "Well then..." He pointed at the purple-haired woman and gestured her to come to him. "Yubelluna."
"Yes, Riser-sama," the woman replied as she walked towards him.
The blonde-haired man looked at at the brown-haired girl. "You'll never pursue that dream." She gritted her teeth at him, looking furious. "You won't be able to do this with a man." She looked puzzled, wondering what he was talking about.
When they looked at each other face-to-face, he grabbed her chin and pulled up to his lips...kissing her. Rias looked completely shocked and disgusted by this, gasping and tensing up. Everyone else in the peerage gasped and tensed up as well, Issei looking appalled and blushing in embarrassment. The two then began to make it more passionate, using their tongues and moaning.
She gritted her teeth more and shouted, "That's enough!"
Riser pulled away from the kiss, a string of saliva appearing between his lips and Yubelluna's before it disappeared. He laughed once more before turning Yubelluna around and grabbed her breast, massaging it and making her moan and blush more. He rubbed her hair with his free hand. "You'll never have a man do this to you for as long as you live, low-class devil."
Now Issei was absolutely furious, knowing that he was trying to get to her. She pointed at him and yelled, "You filthy son of a bitch! You'll just sleep with other girls while being married to the President! You're a complete scumbag!"
He stopped massaging the woman's breast, making her sigh in an aroused way. "Scumbag? Do you know your place, the place where you ARE placed with scum?"
"So what?! I know that my place is-"
"Issei, please-" Rias said before being cut off.
"-being one of the President's servants!" The crimson-haired beauty gasped at that, surprised she even mentioned it. "So stop being a scumbag and stop telling me I won't have my dream in the future!" She then got out her gauntlet, bow, and arrow, pointing the arrow at him.
"Issei..." Rias murmured.
"Issei-chan..." Kiba also murmured, surprised she was acting like this, but also being worried about her.
"Screw the game! I can just defeat you all, right here, right now!" She ran to them, the pretty boy too late to stop her.
"Wait, Issei-chan!" he called out to her.
Riser laughed once again at her reaction. "How typical," he said before looking at his harem. "Mira."
The girl in the shortened shrine outfit appeared and landed right in front of Issei. She stopped, seeing that the girl had a staff with rounded ends. This girl? she thought. She does look tough, but- Her thoughts got cut off when the girl struck her at the stomach, making her drop her bow and her and making her out of breath. She then got launched up into the ceiling, feeling immense pain throughout her backside before landing on the ground, flinching at the pain.
The peerage looked aghast at this, especially Kiba, Asia, and Rias. "ISSEI-SAN!" the former nun cried out.
"ISSEI-CHAN!" the Knight shouted as he ran to her side and picked her up a little. "Issei-chan, are you alright?!" He looked completely horrified, feeling the need to cry. "Issei-chan!"
"ISSEI!" Rias exclaimed, running to her side and crouching down at her. "Come on, shake out of it!"
She opened her eyes a little to look at them. "Kiba-kun...President...I'm sorry..." She then became unconscious, the two of them gasping.
"No...no, Issei-chan!" The pretty boy shook her a little. "ISSEI-CHAN!"
Riser only chuckled at this sight. "Ha! Imagine, the bearer of the Sacred Gear, Boosted Gear, being completely worthless like this!"
Kiba looked back at him furiously, looking ready to fight him before the red-haired beauty placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. He looked at her, giving her fiancee a sharp and serious look. He managed to calm down, but he was still angry at him for it.
"Riser, I have decided," Rias said to him as she stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "We'll go through a Rating Game to decide this." Kiba, along with the rest of the peerage, gasped in shock.
"What...?" Kiba muttered under his breath.
"As you wish, My Lady," Grayfia replied to her. Riser chuckled again as he, Yubelluna, and Mira went back to the harem.
"Riser." The blonde-haired man looked back at her. "I swear, I will wipe you out!"
He smirked once more, now facing her with his back against his whole harem. "I'm looking forward to that, my sweet Rias. Until then..." Finally, the entire Phoenix peerage disappeared in a large flame, Riser laughing once more before disappearing.
Kiba and Rias looked down at the hurt girl with worried faces. "Issei-chan..." he muttered.
...
The unconscious girl was laid on one of the couches, Asia near her and healing her. The rest of the peerage watched in sorrow. "Just so we're clear, the Rating Game will be held in ten days," Grayfia stated.
Rias looked at her. "Ten days?" she asked.
She nodded. "In light of Riser-sama and My Lady's experiences and strengths, I had wondered if an appropriate handicap would be given."
She sighed and looked back at Issei. "As much as I hate to admit it, it's true that I am inexperienced. I will gladly use that time as a training period." The peerage looked at her, thinking that it was a good idea.
Kiba looked back at the female pervert, frowning. Issei-chan... he thought, feeling bad for not stopping her before she went unconscious. However, he planned to make up for it.
The next day, Issei was awake and well, but went on a trip with the rest of the peerage to the mountains. Her hair was in a ponytail and she wore a red tank top, short jean shorts, and pink and white sneakers. She was walking up a path with a large bag of things over her shoulders. She was panting and sweating, since it was hot out and the load was heavy.
"Come on, Issei!" Rias called out to her, wearing an outdoorsy outfit and being next to Asia and Akeno, who also wore outdoorsy outfits. She waved at her. "We're waiting for you!"
"H-hold...on..." she replied, taking another step.
The former nun looked worried about her. "Um...should I help her?" she asked the President. "I don't think she handle that much..."
"She'll be fine," Rias answered. "She has to handle that much."
Kiba, wearing a red checkered shirt, brown pants, and sneakers, also carried a large bag of things, but was bigger than Issei's. He saw her struggling. He couldn't exactly carry it with her, but he wanted to encourage her, so he walked up next to her and said, "Issei-chan." She looked at him. "You'll make it through just fine. Just keep going!"
She blushed and smiled at him. She'd do anything for him! Though... Kiba-kun's carrying that like it's nothing... she thought. She then decided to ask him, "How...do you do it?"
He looked a bit puzzled. "Do what?"
"Carry all of that like it's nothing."
"Oh." He nervously chuckled. "Well-"
"Excuse me," Koneko said as she passed the two...with a bag much larger than the both of theirs combined. Issei looked absolutely shocked that she was carrying that much, gasping and falling right on her bag.
The blonde-haired male immediately came to her rescue, lending his hand. "Issei-chan! Are you alright?" he asked.
She grabbed his hand and he pulled her up. "Yeah...it's just...Koneko's carrying that much..." she answered.
He nervously chuckled again. "She is the household's Rook, after all." The two then looked at each other for a few seconds, enjoying seeing each other. But then they broke it off and kept going.
The girls did notice that, Rias smiling as well as Asia. Issei, the crimson-haired beauty thought, seeing the two enjoying each other's company. With this training camp, I will make you much, much stronger...
The peerage finally arrived at their destination, which was nice-looking white mansion with a glistening pond and even a stargazer. Both Issei and Asher looked awed at the sight of it. "Wow, it's amazing!" Asia said.
"Yeah, I've never seen a mansion like this before!" Issei added.
Rias smiled at the two. "Then let's go inside and start training right away." The female pervert looked shocked that she said that.
"Start right away?! President, stop being a monster!"
She giggled at her. "I'm not a monster, Issei, I'm a devil." She pouted. Another training session would have helped her...
The girls were in a room together, undressing and changing into track clothes. Issei didn't like this since she was changing with women whose bodies and beauty she envied a lot. When she was done changing, she looked around, hoping to find...something to make her peek at Kiba changing next door...
You know what, speaking of him...she remembered something he said before...
"Besides, I'm not that fond of fallen angels and priests. You could say I despise them."
She wondered what he meant by that. Maybe she'll ask him when she gets the chance?
Next to the room the girls were in, Kiba removed his pants, showing his gray briefs before putting on a pair of track pants. He was told by Rias that he will be conducting Issei's first lesson, so he hoped he could do well and she could learn from him.
Finally, they were outside, Issei and Kiba completely dressed like everyone else and holding wooden swords. The rest of the peerage watched from the sidelines. "Lesson one," announced the blonde-haired male.
The female pervert took a deep breath and murmured to herself, "Here I go..." She then let out a battle cry and ran to him, swinging her wooden sword at him. He managed to block every swing easily.
"Not like this, Issei-chan. Don't watch your sword's movements, watch your opponent and your surroundings as well." She swung at him once more, but he dodged it and knocked it out of her hands, surprising her.
That IS what a Knight would do... she thought as she looked at his serious face, smiling and blushing a little. He does look handsome being serious like this though~...
She then suddenly saw him point the tip of his wooden sword at her, instantly breaking her thoughts. "Don't let your guard down, Issei-chan. Alright?" She nodded at him. So she just needed to watch the enemies and the battlefield too? But how...?
The pretty boy was getting worried about her. He did want her to keep her guard up, she just needed more practice.
Later, her and Asia were inside the dining room with Akeno. "Lesson two~," the raven-haired beauty announced. "Take the magic power of the aura surrounding your body, then stream it to a focal point~." The ladies nodded, Issei trying it out first, though it was obvious she was struggling with it. Asia tried the same, though she looked more relaxed. Akeno decided to help her out, walking towards her. "Just focus your attention..." Her hand then hovered above her arm, trailing up to her hand. "...and you should feel the surge of magic~." She nodded as she tried to do that-
"I did it!" Asia called out, both of the females looking to see her have a small green orb hovering above her hands. Issei looked completely shocked by this.
"Ara, ara~, it seems like Asia-chan has a talent for magic~." She then giggled.
The brown-haired girl sighed. "Well, she IS getting better, not gonna deny that." She did feel happy for her achieving it, but also a little jealous too...
...
A minute later, Akeno brought a bottle of water to the table. She hovered her hand over it and in two seconds, it burst into icicles. Both Issei and Asia looked awed at that. "Whoa, that's so amazing!" the female pervert exclaimed.
"Once you become familiar with it~, you will be able to control the elements and create them out of nothing~," she stated to them before looking at the former nun. "Practice this next, Asia-chan."
She nodded and smiled at her. "Yes, m'am!" she replied.
Akeno then looked at Issei. "Issei-chan~, continue to concentrate your magic~."
She nodded at her. "Yes."
"Visualization is the key of magic~. The most important thing is to make whatever comes to mind materialize~."
Taking that into consideration, the brown-haired girl began to think. "Whatever comes to mind..."
"Correct~. Now concentrate~, think~..."
Issei tried to think of something, then Kiba suddenly appeared. Kiba-kun... she thought. She then thought of him...naked, showing off his chest and body. She began to blush. That's right! I couldn't find a way to peep on him changing! She then shook her head once she realized something. "What am I thinking?! That's not important right now!"
Akeno giggled and was curious about what she thought. "Is something the matter, Issei-chan~?" she asked.
She shook her head at her again. "No, m'am! I'll continue to try my best!" The raven-haired female did like her enthusiasm.
"Lesson three," Koneko said as she punched Issei, making her hit a tree. Both were in the forest outside of the mansion, being in their gym clothes. She then fell to the ground, flinching at the pain. "No offense, but you're weak."
She stood up, still determined to hit Koneko as part of the training. "I won't stop!" she cried out as she ran to her and tried to punch her. However, she quickly dodged her punch and kicked her back before bringing her into a headlock with her feet, both landing on the ground.
"Aim your attacks at your opponent's central axis of the body, then strike with a precise blow." She took that piece of information in, wondering how she will do that with her bow and arrow.
...
It was evening now and Issei was now just thrown down a very short hill, screaming and getting up, feeling pain all over her body. "I knew I wasn't a match for Koneko-chan, but jeez..." she muttered under her breath before adding, "And Kiba-kun too..." She frowned. "I'm also worse at magic than Asia-chan, and we're both new devils. I'm good at nothing..." She sighed. "I'm worthless..." She was getting unsuccessful with her training so far. It was just the first day, but still...
"You are not worthless," Koneko said, walking to the edge of the hill and kneeling to her. "We all have our special properties."
She looked up at her. "Special properties? Then what's mine?"
The white-haired loli thought about that for a few seconds before stating, "You're a pervert towards men." She sighed. Of course she was... "But you're also a hard worker." She smiled at her, relieved that her lechery wasn't all she saw in her.
"Thanks, Koneko-chan! I'll try my very best!" She nodded. She knew she would, considering her determination. Issei then ran up to her and they both continued to fight in the forest. However, she lost again...
Issei and Asia were in the kitchen of the mansion, along with Rias. The two new devils wore aprons. "Lesson four," the red-haired beauty announced.
The girls looked down at their aprons. "So, we need to use our magic..." Issei began.
"...to cook food?" Asia finished.
"To the best of your abilities," Rias replied. "Best of luck to the both of you." She then left, making the two start.
The former nun looked at the water in the pot and said, "Water, please boil!" She put her hand over it and used her magic, the water instantly boiling. Both the girls smiled. Issei did so because she was proud of her.
However, she looked at an onion and held it, frowning. Even with Akeno-san's lesson, I could only produce a spec of magic, she thought before thinking of a naked Kiba in a seductive position, looking perverted now. But that's because I couldn't stop thinking about Kiba-kun like this~! Oh, if only I had seen him change- All of a sudden, the onion completely unpeeled, surprising both her and Asia. How did she do that? She then grabbed a potato and thought of a naked Kiba in another seductive position, unpeeling that completely as well. Now they were both awed. "Whoa! This is so easy all of a sudden!"
Asia felt proud of her, smiling. "That's amazing, Issei-san!" she said happily.
She giggled a little, looking a bit confident now. "I guess I was just not in my form earlier. I'm glad I can be capable of this!"
"That's awesome!"
She grabbed another onion and looked at it intently. Where did this come from though? It kinda feels familiar... A flash of Kiba's naked body appeared in her mind, making her realize something as the onion unpeeled too. Wait, that's it! She then remembered the time she got out her Boosted Gear and tearing every inch of Galanaki's clothes off. It's like when my Sacred Gear first deployed! She then grinned. "So if I can do that..." She then looked at the rest of the onions, unpeeling them all. "Then it's possible that..." She then looked at the potatoes, unpeeling them all as well. "I'm unrivaled when it comes to this!" She felt very confident now, like nothing was going to stop her.
However, Asia tapped her shoulder, looking a bit worried. "Issei-san..." she said, making her snap out of it and see the peelings of the onions and potatoes all over the kitchen. She gasped. "What do you think we should do with all of this...?"
Uh...good question... she thought in shock. Best option was to clean up...
Done! What do you guys think?
I'd figured that Riser would still have Yubelluna make out with him, but just to spite Fem!Issei for her dream, so yeah. Hope I handled that well.
Review, follow, favorite, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
