Story Start!

A Rook and a Pawn belonging to Riser Phenex has been retired.

"This is... too easy." Issei saw a chainsaw coming at him and was actually able to dodge it, he was using his Balance Breaker since his base had barely increased over the training for the most part. He was only using 4 boosts to increase his abilities, so his time limit was nowhere close. He attacked the girl with a punch to the center of her chest and knocked her flying into the wall.

A Pawn belogning to Riser Phenex has been retired.

That left 1 Pawn in the building for Issei to deal with, before he was suppose to go meet up with Yuuto to help him with the Knights and some of the other pawns.

5 Pawns belonging to Riser Phenex have been retired.

1 Bishop and 1 Rook belonging to Riser Phenex have been retired.

"So Yuuto and Koneko are doing their jobs... which leaves Akeno to take care of the queen... and you." Issei looked at the other chainsaw wielding loli waiting for him, and she was visibly freaking out as she heard the rest of her comrades getting retired from the Rating Game at record speeds. She was the last pawn remaining, there were NO rooks remaining.

1 Bishop, 1 Queen, and 2 Knights wereall that remained, while they had everyone in their group still active.

"No... you were weak sauce the other day... how have you already come so far... even Mira, the weakest of us, easily destroyed you!"

"... I had... a very evil teacher." Issei responded as he rushed towards her.

-With Koneko-

Riser Phenex's last pawn has been retired.

Koneko had come across the knights long before Yuuto had found them, though one of them had ignored her and went to go find the swordsman of the group. That left her with the wielder of the larger sword. Koneko was already using her full strength, both of her tails were out and she was covered in a thin layer of touki to enhance all of her abilities.

"You might have defeated the rooks, but my swordplay-guh!?" The woman had a fist imbedded deep into her stomach, and she kneeled over as blood poured out of her mouth. Koneko just allowed her to fall to the ground, her body vanishing in blue sparkles.

1 Knight belonging to Riser Phenex has been retired.

1 Queen belonging to Rias Gremory has been retired.

"... Akeno lost?" Koneko asked in shock when she heard the anouncement that Akeno, their priestess of thunder, had been defeated. She would have expected somebody of Akeno's skill and power to easily do away with Riser's Queen like it were nothing at all.

"Seems like I'll actually be your opponent, which sucks... because I don't actually ever really fight in these Rating Games." Ravel Phenex spoke as she approached Koneko, her arms uncrossing as she summoned a fireball. She sent a stream of fire at Koneko, who had the instinct to dodge when she felt the heat from the flames.

The instinct.

She shoved her hand into the ground and ripped up a chunk of earth, and while the stone started to melt under the fire, she punched it and sent it flying at Ravel. Her flaming wings came out and she took to the sky before the rock hit her.

'... Funny, a weeks ago, she would have been out of my league. She's nearly as strong as her brother, and I hear her flames are even hotter... but somehow I'm not worried in the slightest.' Koneko thought as she summoned a white flame, and she added purification power to the flame. She surrounded her fist with the flame, burning away her boxing glove she was wearing.

Light and purification properties were super effective against devils, which meant that even the healing of a Phenex could be slowed down and defeated if such an element were used against them. They would heal faster than a regular devil, but the effect on them would wear down their mental abilities enough to seriously slow down their regeneration.

"Not going to say anything pussy cat?" Ravel asked with an amused smile.

"No need, this is a sport, a competition. My Teacher-" Koneko dodged out of the way of a fire and launched a fireball up at Ravel. Ravel just allowed the fireball to hit her and explode against her.

"GAH!?"

Ravel fell out of the sky and held her chest in pain, her clothes ripped and a burn appearing on her chest. The burn quickly healed as her own flames coated the wound, and her clothes returned to the state they had been in before. Ravel looked at Koneko in shock when she realized she had been hurt by fire, and that her healing had taken more time than it should have to heal such a wound.

"-would beat me to near-death if he saw me waste my time on you." Koneko rushed towards Ravel.

A purification punch to the face before Ravel could do so much as block it, because even if Ravel could see the attack coming, she wasn't fast enough or experienced enough to do anything about it. Koneko felt satisfaction when she chained a combo of punches together, and ended it with an uppercut to the jaw that knocked Ravel against a brick wall, and then through the brick wall. After one shotting every enemy that she had gone up against, and after having never been able to land a real hit on Naruto, it felt nice to actually be able to chain combos together.

Ravel, a half-healed Ravel, glared at her as she came out of the hole in the wall.

"... you shouldn't be this strong. I'm stronger than brother's Queen, and Rias' Queen is her strongest piece... you shouldn't be this strong. You're just her Rook." Ravel glared at Koneko when it registered to her that she had been ragdolled and toyed with.

"I wasn't as strong as Akeno, until I trained with my teacher. Thanks to him, I'm now stronger than your brother. You see, me, Issei, and Yuuto have a bet... on which one of us is going to defeat your brother." Koneko couldn't resist the urge to taunt.

1 Knight belonging to Riser Phenex has been retired.

1 Queen belonging to Riser Phenex has been retired.

"Impossible... you, stronger than my brother."

"Of course it's possible... because right now, I'm almost able to compete with my sister. You see, my sister is the Nekoshou Kuroka, and under my teacher, I'm way stronger than her when she was my age."

"That would mean... you're nearly equal to an Ultimate-class devil!? You're lying... you can't be that strong after only 10 days! There isn't training harsh or a teacher skilled enough to draw out that much strength from a student in such a short amount of time... it's impossible." Ravel stepped back from Koneko in shock, surprise, and most of all disbelief when she heard the insane statement that Koneko was getting close to ultimate levels of strength.

"Not yet, I'll still got a ways away from Kuroka... my Senjutsu still needs work. But you see, I'm not afraid anymore. My teacher showed me death... he showed me genuine fear, and he taught me what I needed to not fear Senjutsu anymore... are you ready for round-"

Riser Phenex has been retired, the match goes to Rias Gremory.

"... Which one of them did it." Koneko frowned when she realized she had wasted too much time taunting Ravel.

Ravel dropped to her knees in shock.

"Brother... lost?"

"I'll bet it was Yuuto, he did make those swords to cancel out Riser's abilities. Damn, and I wanted to be the one to tell Naruto-sensei that I defeated Riser." Koneko spat into the dirt in annoyance. She had wanted to show off, which led to her wasting far too much time. Still, unlike Issei and Yuuto, she had run into Ravel, who had healing nearly as fast as her brother's healing thanks to her being younger than him. She had come across an opponent that would be time consuming to defeat.

If either of them had come across her, then she would have been the one to defeat Riser, but she got the unlucky straw.

"... Do you mean... you aren't the only one..."

"Of course not, Issei the pervert is just as strong as me... when he uses his Balance Breaker, and Yuuto might not be as strong as us, but he's still skilled enough to keep up. You guys never stood a chance, the second we finished the 7 days we had with our teacher." Koneko might not have won the bet, but she could rub it into Ravel's face some.

"... 7 days... you all reached this level of strength in 7 days... because of this... Naruto-sensei?" Ravel bit the tip of her thumb.

"Yes, and Buchou is going to hire him to train us again soon."

"Hire..."

"I'm going to impress him with my growth, and hopefully become his genuine apprentice... he's a very kind man, even when he was beating us to near-death, he always took care of us, and accepted us for our faults. He helped us every step of the way." Koneko had a goal.

That bastard of a teacher, she was going to impress him enough to pick her as his true apprentice, so that she could learn his secrets. Then she was going to confess to him.

"... So this Naruto-sensei can be hired... good to know." Ravel stood up, dusted herself off, just as the entire place started to glow, and their bodies started to glow as well. They were all being called out of the Rating Games now that they were over. "... I'll admit defeat today... but I'm going to get revenge on you Koneko Toujou, Rook of Gremory. I will not take this humiliation lying down."

"That's right, you'll take it standing like a bird."

"... Cats aren't the only creatures who can steal prey."

"What the hell are you...?" Koneko couldn't quite get what Ravel was talking about, or why she seemed so confident for some reason.

"This teacher of yours... I bet he would be far more interested in having a cup of tea with a high class lady, than rubbing knuckles with a brute... wouldn't you say."

"Oh hell no, that man is mine. I'm staking my claim on him, a fried chicken can't take him. He's got a heart of gold, a greedy bird like you has no business butting her head into my plans to make Naruto-sensei mine." Koneko pushed her forehead up against Ravel's face, and the girl sent a cocky glare down at Koneko.

Ravel pushed her MUCH LARGER chest out for Koneko to see.

"... and how are you going to stop me kitten girl?"

"At least my body is athletic and toned, and my boobs aren't just chicken breasts... I bet your bra smells like fried chicken, and your panties smell like BBQ sauce."

-With Naruto-

"So... is this normal?"

"It's... very normal for young devil women to become attracted to powerful men, and it seems that Naruto is Koneko's type. She's always been more attracted to kindness." Grayfia palmed her face with red cheeks, having been watching the match as the referee the entire time. She and Millicant were both seeing what was happening in real time, before the screen cut out. She was having to explain to her son something normal, but at the same time embarassing for her to have to explain to him when he was young. "... I'm just glad that Naruto is not awake, or Koneko would have been very humiliated."

"I see, I would much like to meet this man when he's awake."

"Somebody say my name?" Naruto yawned and woke up from his nap.

The game had been one sided and very boring, so he had taken a nap halfway through it. Naruto rubbed the top of Millicant's head, before he stood up and walked out of the room.

"See you guys later... who defeated Riser?"

"Yuuto defeated Riser, but it was a closer match."

"Good for him, shame that Koneko and Issei are going to lose the little bet they had. Still, watching this Rating Game was way too boring. If you people need me, I'm going to be relaxing in a nearby park." Naruto had no interest in watching something as hilariously one sided as it had been. Rias had only lost her Queen during the entire Rating Game, but the loss of a single soldier in a one sided war was still very one sided.

Millicant smiled and waved to Naruto.

"I really like him, he seems cool."

"... He's quite the brute."

"That's super cool too."

Grayfia really hoped that Naruto wasn't going to be hanging around more often.
