Here's the next episode! Enjoy!

Issei held a nearly naked Kabu in her arms, tears escaping her eyes. "No..." she muttered in sorrow. She looked up at Yubel angrily. "Are you Risa's Queen?!" He only chuckled in response.

"I'm...sorry..." Kabu said weakly with eyes full of sorrow. She looked down at him.

"K-Kabu-kun!"

"I...I wish...I was more of help...to the President..."

She shook her head at him. "N-no way! I'll bring you to Asher-kun so he can-" Suddenly, the shouta glowed light blue and began to...dissolve. He let out a pained cry as he dissolved completely, leaving light blue dust behind. "K-Kabu-kun...?" Her hands shook. What the hell just happened to him?! "KABU-KUN!"

Episode 11: We're In The Middle of The Match!-Part 1

"Richard-sama's Rook has been knocked out," Grafier announced.

Issei stood up, looking furious. "Damn it!" she cried out. "What the hell did you do to Kabu-kun?! I won't forgive you for it! Come here and fight me!"

"Isa, calm down," Richard said to her through the transceiver magic.

Richard clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes, feeling frustrated. "Those who are rendered to be unable to fight are teleported outside and being treated, therefore, Kabu didn't die," he explained. "So please, just calm down!"

She did feel a bit relieved that Kabu didn't die, but still, he was severely hurt. "B-but-"

"Just give it up, little girl," the purple Queen said to her, causing her to look up at him. "No matter how hard you fight, you can't win against us." He pointed his staff at her, making her look and feel pissed off.

"Eeto, eeto~," Akihiko said, appearing before the Pawn, flying. She looked surprised to see him. "Look what we have here~."

"Akihiko-san?" she exclaimed.

He turned to her and said, "I'll deal with this man, Issei-chan~. You go hurry on ahead, so don't worry about me~! I'll avenge Kabu-kun with all my might~." He turned to Yubel and starting glowing yellow, chuckling.

She nodded at him. Seeing how powerful he was, she'll trust him. "Okay, Akihiko-san!" She began to run off and out of the area where the Queens were at.

"Well, I was wondering when I would fight you someday, Priest of Thunder," Yubel said with a smirk.

"Eeto, eeto~, you will be fighting me now~," the raven-haired man replied with a smile. "Bomb King~." The purple-haired man smile and glowed lavender, grinning and chuckling evilly.

...

While Issei was running, she heard Grafier say, "Risa's three pawns have been knocked out."

"Wait, three?" she said before a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her away. She saw that Yumi was the one who pulled her out, making her relieved.

"Hello," she greeted calmly, smiling at her.

She smiled at her. "Wait, did you defeat those three pawns?" she asked her.

She nodded. "Thanks to Akihiko-san's barrier, it was really easy to defeat them."

"With this, that would mean that Risa-sama has nine pieces left," Sora stated. "And Richard-sama with six pieces left. From here, we can't predict the winner yet."

In the school storage room out in the field, both the ladies of Richard's peerage were in there, talking. "Kiba...I'm sorry that Kabu-kun was..." she said to the blonde-haired beauty sadly.

"It's alright," she replied. "He may not be that outgoing, but he was actually pretty excited for this." She sighed. "What a pity..."

Though he was gone from the game, Issei wanted to avenge him so that his "death" won't be in vain. She stretched her hand out to Yumi, making her look at it. "Let's win this together, Princess. Kabu-kun will be avenged!"

Yumi smiled at her and replied, "Alright!" They both then shook hands, feeling like best friends.

"Yumi, Isa, do you copy?" Richard asked through the magic, getting both the girls' attention.

"Ash and I will launch a surprise attack on their main base," Richard said with Asher right behind him. "So I need you two to distract as many enemies as possible to buy us some time."

"A surprise attack?" Issei questioned.

"I'm running out of choices and this is the only one, Isa. The plan was to wait for Akihiko to recover and destroy every building individually, but it won't work as long as Risa's Queen is out."

"But President, it's too risky for a King to leave his base," Yumi said, worrisome.

"The enemy must be thinking the same as well," the red-haired male replied to her. "That's what I am going for. Phenex's body may be immortal, but her mind isn't. So if I deliver an attack strong enough to make her lose her fighting spirit, I will reign the victor." He smiled confidently. "I will crush Risa's spirit myself!"

Nodding, the two girls looked at each other. Issei said, "So, if that's the plan..." She paused to smile. "Why don't the ladies of the Occult Research Club..."

Yumi smiled back, knowing what she was thinking. "Show what they are made of?" she finished.

They got out of the storage room and into the track field, ready to fight. "Wherever you all are, show yourselves!" the female pervert shouted. "Come and get a fight!" A male chuckle was heard, causing both the ladies to look and see a collection of dust stirred, a man that looks like a fantasy soldier stepping out of it with a sword in his sheath.

"I am Lady Risa's Knight, Carl," he greeted. "You two must be out of your mind to come to me directly. However..." He paused to pull the sword out of his sheath and point at them with it. "I like stupid girls like you!" The blade of the sword erupted into flames.

Yumi closed her eyes, smiled, and walked to him. "And I am Sir Richard's Knight, Kiba Yumi," she greeted as she pulled her sword out of her sheath and pointed it at him, opening her eyes to reveal the competitive spirit in them. "I'm looking forward to cross swords with a fellow knight."

Carl smirked. "Well said, Richard Gremory's Knight!" They both then ran to each other and engaged in an intense sword fight. While they were fighting, the Pawn looked in awe.

"Amazing..." she muttered. "So I don't have to do anything here?"

"Oh no, you will," a deep male voice replied. She gasped and turned to see the mercenary who looked to be in his mid 20's and is muscular. His mercenary outfit consists of an open military jacket exposing his well-sculpted chest, a pair of black fingerless gloves with metal ends, tight dark grey pants outlining his bulge and butt, and combat boots. He wore a white mask that covered his left eye and had spiky light brown hair with three dark red highlights on it.

"Jeez, all that Carl thinks all day is swords, swords, swords," said the boy in the blue-colored suit and tie. Issei saw that he was leaning against a tree, looking down and closing his eyes. "He seemed pretty upset to sacrifice some pieces too." She stopped leaning against the tree and walked to Issei's direction. "Seriously, what a hard-headed guy. And I thought I finally found a refined hottie..." The mercenary man and a man in an indigo kimono approached the perverted Pawn. "Until I realized she's also another sword freak." Issei felt troubled as she was surrounded by more men. A man that looks like he belongs in Final Fantasy appeared by the boy's side as well as the two neko boys in sexy school uniforms. The boy opened his eyes and grinned evilly. "Well, well, how unfortunate."

While the blonde-haired girl blocked an attack from Carl, she looked back to see Issei surrounded and thought, She's using all of her remaining pieces to deal with us? She turned to her opponent and smiled at him. It looks like President's prediction was right.

...

While that was happening, Richard and Asher were out of the old schoolhouse and hiding behind a pole of the pathway to the school. They saw the situation the ladies were in, both thinking, Good luck, ladies. They both then sneaked into another hiding spot.

...

The boy looked as if he were thinking with a puzzled face. "Well, from the looks of it, Richard-sama seems to have a strange interest in women," he stated. "She's neither hot nor decent."

That outright pissed Issei off. "A cute boy with a sharp tongue?!" she exclaimed as she went into position. "Boosted Gear!" Her gauntlet, bow, and arrow appeared, her arrow pointing at the boy.

However, he smirked at her and turned away. "Sorry, but I won't be fighting," he said, making the female Pawn look confused. "Isiah."

The mercenary then walked to Issei, his fists clenched. "My name is Isiah, Lady Risa's Rook," he introduced himself. "Here I come, Richard Gremory's Pawn!" He then charged at her and swung punches at her, making her dodge and block with her gauntlet, her bow and arrow in her free hand.

"Wait! Who the hell is he?!" she asked him, pointing at the boy in blue, making him shoot an annoyed look at her. "Why ISN'T he fighting?!"

Isiah continued throwing punches at her, making her dodge and block each one. "In our peerage, he's a Bishop," he answered. "But in this game, he's more or less a spectator!"

"What do you mean?!"

"That Sir is Ravon Phenex!"

"PHENEX?!" Did that mean he's...

As Ravon snickered and waved, Isiah continued, "Although he's considered a subordinate serving under Risa-sama, he's actually her younger brother."

"LITTLE BROTHER?!" She looked at the blonde-haired shouta in disbelief. How...?

While in a sparkly background with Risa sitting on a couch with her arm around Yubel, Miran sitting next to her, and Isiah sitting on the arm of the couch while the other boys stood around the couch, the blonde-haired woman explained, "Have you ever heard of the little brother moe~? It's rare, but girls dream and envy it~, though I am not one of them. So he's just going to be my subordinate as a formality~."

"That's what she said!" Isiah finished as he swung an uppercut at her, leaving her to barely dodge it.

So that bird whore's a perv AND an idiot?! Issei thought before putting on her lecherous face. But I can completely understand why he'd want her little brother to be in her harem~! She snapped out of her thinking when the mercenary's fist came close to her face, making her dodge it in a millisecond.

As she kept dodging his punches, he stated, "You're not bad for a girl like you!"

"I didn't train with Kabu-kun and Kiba for nothing!" she replied. However, he managed to hit her by kicking her in the stomach, causing her to go back several feet and landing on her face. She stood up slowly because of the pain in her stomach and muttered, "But until my power builds up more, all I can do is run-" Isiah then panted an uppercut on her as her gauntlet glowed green and shouted, "Boost!"

That's the 5th power-up! she thought. Might be enough against a Pawn, but a Rook?!

As she landed on her bottom, Isiah commented, "You seem pretty different from when Miran defeated you." He smirked and crack his knuckles. "Looks like Richard Gremory trained you well."

She stood up and replied, "You bet! I, President's subordinate, was trained intensively by him! That's why I won't lose to you!" She went into a refined position with her arrow pointing at him. "I'll defeat you for his sake!"

Meanwhile, Richard and Asher successfully entered into the new schoolhouse without the other pieces noticing them. They both looked around cautiously before hearing Risa's voice.

"About time you've come, baby~," she said in a taunting manner. The Bishop looked up in surprise while Richard looked up at her in disbelief. She was sitting on a rail with her legs crossed, grinning and her laced hands on her lap. She giggled.

Damn it, she knew all along? the Ruin Prince thought.

Carl managed to break Yumi's sword, turning it into ashes. She gasped and exclaimed, "My Holy Eraser!"

"Sorry about the misfortune of that attack not working on me," he said to her.

She stepped back from him and replied, "Then how about this?" She tightened her hold on the grip and shouted, "Freeze!" From the grip a sword formed by ice before it broke, showing a new sword.

He gritted his teeth at her. "Damn you! You have two Sacred Gears?!" He then lunged at her and clashed his sword with hers. However, it froze up and broke. He looked shocked, but threw the grip away. "No matter!" He then brought out a dagger and jumped over her to stab her with it. "We, the proud members of the Phenex family, control fire, wind, and life!" His dagger then burst into flames and shattered Yumi's sword. She was smiling, however, as she formed a new sword with a shaped edge. Carl looked at her in disbelief and utter shock. A black hole appeared in the middle of the shaped edge, sucking in all the fire from his dagger. "Damn it! Just how many Sacred Gears do you have?!"

"Only one," she replied. "I don't have multiple because I am just making these. It's all thanks to Sword Birth." Once all the fire was sucked out of his dagger, she swung her sword at him, only for him to quickly dodge it. "In short, I can make any magic swords I want!" She then crouched on the ground and pressed her hand on it as Karl landed, causing multiple sword to appear where he was at once. He barely dodged it.

"This is-" Carl muttered.

Amazing! Issei thought in awe. I thought that princess was strong before, but holy crap! Her possessing that much power?!

"Hey!" shouted Isiah, who made her look at her about to swing a punch at her. "Pay attention because we're fighting!" He then landed it on her face, causing her to fall back several feet once again. She sat up and rubbed her nose, which was bleeding because of that punch.

"Come on, just a little more-" she muttered before her gauntlet shouted, "Boost!" She looked down at it, relieved. "Finally!" She stood up and pointed her arrow at Isiah, a small amount of energy emitting of its head.

"Explosion!" shouted her gauntlet.

As Isiah ran closer to her, she shouted, "This may not be a Dragon Wave, but get a dose of the Dragon Shot!" She then shot it, taking the mercenary a mere second to stop, look in horror, and dodge it in a bare millisecond as the beam/bow went straight across the field and into the forest, blowing it up. Issei looked embarrassed that she missed that. "...Or not. And I saved a lot of energy for that one..."

Isiah stood up and looked at her fiercely. "With a Sacred Gear as dangerous as that..." he said before charging towards her. "I need to defeat you!" As he swung his fist at her, she dodged it and grinned, shouting, "Gotcha!" She then punched his shoulder, a small magic circle appearing on it.

"How weak," he commented, oblivious to the magic circle.

"Now burst it open, Clothing Break!" The female pervert snapped her fingers, the clothes on him shredding in an instant, leaving him bare naked.

"What the hell is this?!" he exclaimed.

Her usual lecherous face went on and she whispered gleefully, "Saving this to the ladies' folder on my neural hard drive~. Saved~!" She then generated another arrow emitting small red energy and pointed at Isiah, who was covering his penis. "Now get a dose of THIS!" She shot it at him, causing to scream in agony as it hit his entire naked body, making him disappear into blue dust.

Ravon looked aghast at the sight. "No...Isiah can't be-" he muttered before Grafier announced:

"Risa-sama's Rook has been knocked out."

Issei smiled widely and pumped her fist in the air. "I did it! I won!" she exclaimed happily.

"What a terrible technique for a girl to have," Carl commented. She looked at him with disbelief. "And it's quite terrifying for a man since his entire body is all out there in sight."

Yumi, who also saw the technique, stated, "This IS my first time seeing it, but how should I put it in words...?" She then turned to Risa's Knight and bowed down to him. "I am so sorry that Issei-san is very perverted."

Issei stomped her feet angrily. She could not believe Yumi would say that about her! "Hey! Don't you apologize bluntly like that, Kiba!"

"But-"

"Hey you, pervert girl!" Ravon shouted, making her turn to him. He pointed at the top of the new school building. "What do you think THIS is?" She looked up and gasped to see Richard and Asher flying up there. Why were they up there? Did the plan fail?

"President, Asher-kun!" she shouted.

Eye Catch #21: Asher is sitting on the floor, looking shocked as if he tripped and fell down on his butt. He's only wearing his white briefs. His semi-sculpted chest is shown. The mere focus was on his underwear, showing his average-sized underbulge and his butt cheeks.

Done! What do you think?
