The Phenex Arrives

In the middle of the forest, Issei was charging towards Lance with his fist pulled back along with his Boosted Gear activated. Issei then started to launch a barrage of attack towards him with Lance dodging each of his attacks without any effort. He narrowed his eyes towards Lance as he continued to dodge his barrage of attacks.

[Boost]

"Let's go, Boosted Gear!"

[Explosion]

Issei released the power that was stored inside of his Boosted Gear and a strong red aura surrounded his entire body, he started to charge towards Lance with far greater speed and power. He continued dodging Issei's attacks, but he was caught off guard as Issei aimed a spin kick towards him. Lance crossed his arms to block the attack, but Lance felt the slight force of his kick. But he grabbed Issei's leg and he threw him towards the ground.

"Alright, I think that's enough practice. But, man you really are a Power-Type Fighter."

Lance had stated he started to twist his arm.

"Lance you know about Sacred Gears right, when do you think I'll achieve Balance Breaker?"

"Well, people awaken Balance Breaker through their change in emotions and through a change in their spirit. Why're you asking about that now?"

"It's because, I don't want something like what happened to Asia to happen to anyone else that I care about."

"Well, I'll continue to help you in anyway that I can."

"Ise-San, Nii-San…hauu."

Both of them turned their head as they saw Asia running towards them before tripping on her feet, they then looked towards her with a nervous smile on their face.

"Even though we're cousins, I don't know why she's calling me her brother."

"Lance, have you ever met anyone younger than you who didn't call you 'Onii-San' or 'Aniki'?"

Lance started thinking about what Issei had asked him, and he shook his head in disagreement.

"Hahaha, no…I guess I have that brotherly aura around me. By the way you're dream girl is coming this way."

Issei then turned his head and saw Rias walking towards them and he blushed slightly as he noticed her smiling towards him.

"I see both of you are finishing, so would you two mind following me?"

Both of them nodded in agreement, and they started walking through the streets until they had stopped in front of the Hyoudou Residence with boxes in front of his house. Issei then looked towards the boxes with a slightly confused expression on his face.

"What're all these boxes doing in front of my…?"

"I had asked Asia where she wanted to live, and she said that she wanted to live with you."

Issei then looked towards Asia who was making a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, the three of them then entered Issei's house and met his parents in the living room. Rias then started explaining Asia's current situation to them and then she asked.

"That's why Kaito-Sama, Mikoto-Sama will you allow Asia Argento to stay here?"

"Oh, enough with the formalities Rias we're retired from the Order."

"Also, we really don't mind having Asia-Chan stay here she is Angela-Chan's daughter."

Asia then made a slightly shocked expression on her face by what Mikoto had just said, she then looked towards her.

"Y-You knew my mom."

"We both did, we were all actually good friends."

Mikoto then left before coming back with a photo album, she then opened it and went towards a single photo. In the photo was a teenage Galahad, Chris, Mikoto, Kaito, standing next to a teen with light brown hair wearing an exorcist outfit, a blonde haired girl with green eyes and wearing a nun's outfit and standing next to her was another blonde haired girl, with blue eyes and wearing nun's outfit.

In the picture all of them were smiling with their arms wrapped around each others shoulder. Once Asia looked at the photo she smiled brightly, after recognizing the blonde haired women with the same green eyes as her.

"That's my mom."

"Yep, I remember the day that we took that photo we were all promoted into our perspective fields. I remember Chris not wanting to get into the photo and Galahad tried forcing him into the photo, both of them then got into a fight. Both Kaito-Kun Touji-Kun tried to separate them, but they still wouldn't stop and that's when they both got scolded by Angela-Chan. I remember her saying, "Stop it you two, you're both brothers and you should be fighting each other. Gala-Kun you're the oldest so you shouldn't be fighting you younger brother. And Chris-Kun we just want to commemorate this special day, so would you please join in the photo…pretty please". Hahaha, even someone nicknamed the 'True War God' or someone as cold and calculating as Chris could say no to her."

"Who're them?"

Asia then pointed at the both the light brown hair and the other blonde haired girl, Kaito then smirked and answered her question.

"That's Touji Shidou he lived around here along with me and Galahad when we were kids, and that's Griselda Quarta she was partnered with your mother and despite being so nice, she could sometimes be…scary. And this silver haired guy is Christian Ambrosius, your dad."

Asia then looked towards the photo of Chris with a smile on her face, Mikoto then stood the photo out of the album and handed it to her.

"Huh, I can't…."

"We'll always remember the memories that we shared with Angela, Galahad, and the others. And also, it'll be good for you to have a photo of her."

"Thank you!"

Asia smiled brightly and gladly took the photo in her hand and started looking at her parents who were in the photo smiling. Rias then looked towards both Kaito and Mikoto, with a question on her mind.

"I've been wondering how did you two meet exactly?"

Both Mikoto and Kaito blushed at what Rias had asked them, Kaito then started laughing nervously as the memory was replayed in his mind.

"Well, it was thanks to Galahad. When we were still kids, both of us were having a sparing match with the Paladin Gawain watching us. While we were fighting Galahad threw a faint, but I didn't respond to it in time and he knocked me out. When I came to, I found this cute girl with brown checking my injuries and before I knew it I was married with the women that I knew I'd spend my entire life with…my bride."

"Aw~"

Mikoto smiled brightly and started hugging Kaito's arm as he started making an embarrassed expression on his face. Issei looked towards his parents with an embarrassed expression, with Lance laughing nervously, Asia's face was reddened and Rias looked towards them with a sense of longing.

"…Bride, huh."

A Few Days Later

Walking down the halls of Kuoh Academy was Lance, Issei and Asia who was wearing a bright smile on her face. Issei then looked towards Asia, and he asked with a slightly worried expression on his face.

"By the way Asia, are there any problems at school? Are you getting along with other girl?"

"Everyone is very kind towards me. They are teaching me a lot of things so I would get familiar with Japan. I also made lots of friends. I was also invited to go shopping with them."

Issei made a happy expression on his face by what Asia had said, as they walked into the classroom both Motohama and Matsuda walked in front of Asia with a perverted expression on their face. Once Issei saw them his expression darkened a little, along with Lance.

"Asia-Chan! Good morning!"

"Good morning, Asia-san. Your blonde hair is shining today as well."

"Good morning Matsuda-San, Motohama-San."

Both of them then started getting emotional by Asia greeting both of them.

"This is the thing, isn't it, Motohama-Kun?"

"That's right, Matsuda-Kun. Getting greeted by having a beauty say 'Good morning', gives life to us from morning."

As Issei was sighing at what they were saying, he immedately dodged an attack from Matsuda with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

"What was that for?!"

"I hear that you walk to school with Asia-Chan everyday, right?"

"What about it?"

"That's weird. Why? Why do you two come to the school from the same direction? I wonder why?"

"Oh, that's because they live together under the same roof."

Both Matsuda and Motohama made an angered expression on their face by what Lance had said, Issei then glared towards him.

"Why would you tell them that?!"

"Hahaha, because I find the expressions they make completely hilarious and besides it's not nice to hide things from your friends."

"It's a lie!"

"I-Impossible…Ise living with a blonde beauty in the same house…? That can't be…the law of this world will collapse…"

Issei started to sweat drop at his friends insane antics, with Lance laughing slightly at their reactions.

"You! You actually know lots of cute girls, don't you!? Rias-Senpai! Akeno-Senpai! They are the "Two Great Onee-Samas" of our academy, you know!? Then our school's small idol, Toujou Koneko-Chan, and now the blonde beauty that just transferred, Asia-Chan! This is wrong! It's so unfair that I'm about to break!"

Issei later gave up and just started ignoring, Lance then leaned towards him and whispered.

"By the way, we're not meeting for club today so you can help Asia deliver her leaflets after school."

"O-Oh, alright."

After school had finally ended with the sun starting to go down, Lance started walking towards the front door of his house and walked in. Lance started walking passed his living room and towards the stairs, but he stopped after noticing that his lights to his kitchen were in. Lance stopped and started walking towards his kitchen with a suspicious expression on his face.

Once he made it there he was surprised by what he had saw, which was a ten year old boy may older, with short brown hair and blue eyes sitting at the table while drinking a soda that he got from his fridge. Lance then made a confused completely confused and decided to ask him.

"Kid, who are you? And how did you get inside of my house?"

"…."

The boy only looked at Lance with an emotionless expression on his face, by Lance's question and he started walking towards him.

"Okay, why are you in my house?"

"…."

Lance could only stare blankly as the kid continued to stare at him without any emotion in his eyes.

"That's great, but seriously how did you…?"

"You're not going to get a response from him."

Lance had reacted after hearing a young man's voice coming from behind him along with a powerful demonic aura, and he summoned Secace and aimed its blade towards the person standing behind him. But Secace as collided with a demon sword wielded by a handsome young man who looked to be slightly older than him and possessing silvery-white hair, which Lance had told himself reminding him of a white haired Kiba.

"Alright, I'll try this again. Who are you? And why're you inside of my house?"

"My name's Siegfried, descendant of the Original Siegfried. Lancelot Du Lac."

Lance had almost immediately recognized the young man's name along with the sword that he was wielding in his hand and he immediately though of the Exorcist who formerly belonged the Orthodox Church.

"Siegfried, so I'm guess that Sword is Gram. Which means you're the former Exorcist, Chaos-Edge Sieg."

"So you know who I am, Lancelot Du Lac. The Chivalric Order's Smart Alec Magic Knight."

Lance had narrowed his eyes towards Siegfried as he noticed as both of their demon swords began to collide against each other with both of their swords' demonic aura began to smash against each other. Lance then clicked his tongue and stepped back away from him and aimed his foot towards Siegfried's abdomen, but Siegfried had jumped back away from him dodging his attack.

"Alright, that's one question answered Siegfried. Now why are you here?"

"It's recruitment, for you're certain status."

Lance turned around as he noticed a magic circle beginning to shine on the ground, once it vanished the light vanished and three people appeared. One of them was a young man with black hair, spectacles and wearing a combination of a Gakuran Japanese School uniform with Mage-Styled clothing over it. The second was a young man who stood two meter tall, with a well-build body and wearing a Greek-themed armor. And the last one to appear was a handsome young man with short black hair, wearing a combination of a Gakuran Japanese school uniform along with ancient Chinese armor and wielding a spear that had released a silent holy aura. And Lance had immediately took notice of the certain presence that each of them had released from their bodies.

"Okay, I seriously wasn't expecting guests. So if you guys can just get out of my house and come back another time…."

"You're just as much of a smart aleck as the rumors stated…annoying bastard."

Heracles had declared with an irritated expression on his face, however it didn't affect Lance in the bit.

"Sticks and stones Goliath."

"I can rip you apart with my bare hands you little bastard!"

"Would you mind waiting right there while I find a slingshot and a rock? Also, mind your manners there's a child in the room."

The tall man continued glaring towards Lance with an angered expression on his face, while he looked as if he was preparing to attack him. But the black haired young man with the spear held his hand out with a slight smirk on his face.

"That's enough Heracles, he's just trying to goad you into attacking him."

Heracles stopped, but continued looking towards Lance with an angered expression on his face and the young man looked towards him.

"Alright, seriously who're you guys?"

"Right, my name is Cao Cao the descendant of the original Cao Cao from the Three Kingdom Era. This is Heracles, the descendant of the Hero Hercules and Zeus. This if Georg, the descendant of Johann Georg Faust, you've already met up with Siegfried and the young boy over there it Leonardo. I'm the leader of the Hero Faction and I'd like to recruit you the descendant of both Sir Lancelot and Merlin. Along with the holder of the Welsh Dragon, Issei Hyoudou the child of the former Paladin Kaito Hyoudou and Arch-Knight Mikoto Hyoudou."

"Well, I'm not interested in joining any faction that I've never heard of before."

Lance had responded with a slightly blank look on his face.

"We're really not the people you'd want as an enemy bastard!"

"Right back at you Goliath, now if you would please get out of my house before I throw you out."

Despite saying that in a slightly joking tone, Lance released malice directed towards him with his eyes glowing slightly with a green light.

"It's a shame, but you're only holding yourself by being associated with the enemy you're only holding yourself back."

"The enemy?"

"Devils, Fallen Angels, Youkai, Vampires, etc. and as the descendant of Heroes, it's it our job to eradicate them?"

Lance looked towards Cao Cao with a slightly irritated expression on his face and his eyes sharpened.

"Our ancestors fought against evil, they just didn't go genocide against the entire race…and if you lay a hand on any of my friends and I'll destroy you."

"Cao Cao, it's useless he did advise us that he wouldn't agree."

"It's a shame, but I guess it was inevitable. Come on, Leonardo."

Leonardo wordlessly started walking towards them, and stood next to Cao Cao along with Siegfried. Lance then looked towards them with his eyes narrowed.

"Who told you that I wouldn't join you guys? And who told you that I was even here?"

"The strongest Magician in History, the Mage God."

After hearing the name Lance's expression darkened, and the suddenly vanished from through a magic circle. Once they were gone, Lance sighed slightly out of irritation and placed Secace back in it's dimensional storage.

"What was that about? But that spear that was in that guy's hand, that kid Leonardo and that Magician…I could sense insanely powerful Sacred Gears coming from them. Man, I'm too tired to even think about this right now."

Tomorrow Morning

After what had happened last night, Lance still had unnerving thoughts going through his mind and he walked outside of his house only to find one of his request on the door with the Gremory Clan symbol on it.

"Rias? That's odd, why wasn't this delivered at the clubroom instead?"

Lance took the request off of the door and started going through, once he did Lance started walking towards Kuoh Academy with a slightly suspicious expression on his face.

"Why would I get a request like this?"

As Lance was walking towards Kuoh Academy, he immedately ran into both Issei and Asia.

"Oh, hey Ise and Asia."

Lance had greeted both of them.

"Hello, Nii-San."

"H-Hey, Lance."

Lance looked and noticed that Issei's expression, with a confused expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Something…happened last night with me and Rias-Senpai."

"What did five people break into your house late at night?"

"N-No…wait someone broke into your house?!"

"That's not important right now, by the way someone sent us a request. So we're heading towards the Occult Research Club."

Issei looked towards him with a slightly confused expression on his face, later on they started heading towards the Occult Research Club and ran into Kiba and Van.

"Oh, hey guys."

"Hey, Kiba has Rias-Senpai had some problems the past couple days."

"With Buchou? Well, now that you mention it she's been a bit distant."

"Buchou's problem? Maybe it has something to do with the House of Gremory."

Issei slightly became depressed by what Kiba had answered, suddenly a thought came into his mind and he decided to ask.

"Akeno-San would know, right?"

"Akeno-San is Buchou's most trusted servant, so she obviously would know."

As they were walking towards the Occult Research Club, once they made it in front of the door they felt demonic power that even shook Lance slightly. Kiba then stated, with a slightly frightful expression and narrowing his eyes slightly.

"…For me to finally realize the presence here…."

"If this is who I think it is, then we might have a bigger issue than I thought."

Once they walked inside of the room, the caught the sight of Rias, Akeno, Koneko and a silver haired maid dressed in a blue french maid outfit. The maid then looked towards Lance with a slightly surprised expression on her face, but she later smiled slightly. Lance noticed her looking towards him and he leaned towards Kiba.

"Kiba who's the silver haired maid?"

"Her names Grayfia Lucifuge, she the Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer-Sama."

The rest of them who had just walked in made a slightly nervous expression at the atmosphere inside of the room.

"Looks like everyone is here, though I have no idea why Lance is here with Ise. Before we start the club, there's something I need to tell all of you."

"Ojou-Sama, do you want me to explain the situation?"

Grayfia had offered to explain her current situation, but Rias waved her hand and shook her head.

"The truth is…."

At that moment, a magic circle appeared on the ground and flames started spewing out with Kiba looking towards it with a shocked expression on his face while Van narrowed his eyes.

"…Phenex."

The silhouette of a man appeared from inside of the flames, and he waved his hand causing the flames to disappear. Standing in the middle of the room was a handsome man in his 20s wearing a red suit with his shirt opened and no tie.

"Fuu, it's been a while since I came to the Humans' World."

The man then looked around the room until he caught sight of Rias who was sitting down with a slightly disgusted expression on her face.

"My lovely Rias. I came to see you."

At what the mysterious man had said, Issei had gained a tick mark on his forehead and he started grounding his teeth. The man then approached Rias and grabbed her my her arm.

"Now then, Rias. Let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date of the ceremony is decided so we need to check it before then."

"…Let go of me, Raiser."

"Hey, you. You are being rude to Rias-Senpai. Actually, what's with that attitude towards a girl?"

The man now named Raiser looked towards Issei with an uninterested expression on his face and he asked him plainly.

"Ah? Who are you?"

"Issei Hyoudou, holder of the Boosted Gear."

"Hmm. Ah, okay."

Issei gained an irritated expression on by face by Raiser's plain response to his question.

"Who the heck are you?!"

"…Oh? Rias, you haven't mentioned me to your servants? I mean, are there guys who don't know me? A Human? Even so."

"I didn't tell them because there was no need."

"Oh my, harsh like always. Hahaha…."

Grayfia then caught Issei's attention, she then answered.

"Hyoudou Issei-Sama."

"Y-Yes."

"This person is Raiser Phenex-Sama. He's a Pure-Blood High-Class Devil, and the third son of the House of Phoenix."

Issei understood that much of what she had said, thanks to his parents explaining to him in detail about the 72 Pillars, Pure-Blooded Devils and the Great War. But it was the next thing that caught his attention.

"And he is the husband of the next heiress of the House of Gremory. He is engaged to Rias-Ojou-Sama."

Issei's expression darkened slightly after hearing that and Grayfia had added, with Lance making a nervous expression on his face.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!"

"Well, this isn't going to end well."

After everyone had settled down, Rias started sitting down in front of Raiser with an irritated expression on her while Akeno started serving them tea. After Raiser sipped some of the tea he smiled and stated.

"The tea made by Rias's Queen is superb."

"Thank you very much."

Even though Akeno responded with a smile, her expression was more irritated than anything else. The rest of them only looked as both of the High-Class Devils started talking, Issei then turned towards Kiba and asked with a whisper.

"What's with this guy?"

"It's normal for other High-Class Devils."

"Right, the holier-than-thou nonsense that a good number of them spout out none stop."

"Stop it already!"

Rias' angered voice echoed throughout the room, when they turned towards them Rias had stood up with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Raiser! I told you before! I will not marry you!"

"Yeah, I heard that before. But Rias, that won't do, you know? I think the situation of your household is quite serious."

"That's none of your concern! If I'm the next heiress for the House of Gremory, then I will choose who will become my husband! My father, brother, and everyone in the clan are rushing it! Also it was a promise that I will be free until I graduate from university of the human world!"

"That's right. You will basically be free. You can go to college and you can do whatever you like with your servants. But your Otou-Sama and Sirzechs-Sama are worried. They are afraid that your household will become extinct. We lost a great number of Pure-Blood Devils in the last war. Even if the war has ended, our rivalry with the Fallen Angels and God hasn't ended yet. It's not rare for the successors of Pure-Blood Devil to get killed in the worthless battle against them, which leads to the household becoming extinct. So for a Pure-Blood Devil that are also happens to be a High-Class Devil, getting together would be the obvious solution for the forces of Devils. A Pure-Blood High-class Devil. Even you know that these children will be important from now on, right?"

Both of them then started getting into an argument about the 72 Pillars, Pure-Blooded Devil, Reincarnated Devils and the Great War. Rias then clenched her fist and declared.

"I'm not going to crush my house. And I am willing to take a husband."

"Oh, to be expected from Rias! Then let's…."

"But I won't marry you, Raiser. I will marry the one I acknowledge. Even the Devils from the Old Noble House have the right to choose."

Raiser then made an angered expression on his face by what Rias had just declared, and he looked towards them.

"…You know, Rias. I'm also a Devil who carries the name of House of Phoenix behind me. I can't let that name get tarnished. I didn't even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Rather, I don't like the human world that much. The fire and wind of this world is filthy. For a Devil like me who rules fire and wind, I can't stand it!"

At that moment, Raiser made an irritated expression on his face while releasing a large amount of flames around his entire body.

"I will take you back to the underworld, even if I have to burn all of your servants."

With both his killing intent and hostility being released from his entire body directed towards everyone in Rias' Peerage. At that killing intent, Asia had hid behind both Issei and Lance while everyone else got into a battle ready stance. At that moment, Grayfia intervened with a low yet frightful tone.

"Ojou-Sama, Raiser-Sama, please calm down. If both of you were to continue, then I won't be quiet about it. For Sirzechs-Sama's honor, I won't hold back."

With those few words each of them started calming down and got out of their fighting positions.

"…To be told that by the "Strongest Queen", even I would be scared…. I definitely wouldn't want to fight the people from Sirzechs-Sama's group, which is known to be made up of monsters."

After everyone had finally calmed down, Grayfia sighed slightly and looked towards them.

"Master, Sirzechs-Sama, and those from the House of Phoenix knew it would turn out like this. To tell you the truth this was to be the last discussion meeting. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be solved, so they decided to make a last resort."

"Last resort? What do you mean, Grayfia?"

"Otou-Sama, if you wish to push your opinion forward, then how about you settle it by having a Rating Game against Raiser-Sama?

Rias became speechless at what Grayfia had said, Issei then looked towards Lance.

"Wait, isn't that the game that's played by High-Class Devils who has a Peerage."

"Yea, High-Class Devils even Ultimate-Class Devils fight against each other in a specially created field and it's also viewed in the entire Underworld even some of the other Factions. Even the children and Knights within the Chivalric Order watches it sometimes."

Grayfia then continued her explanation to Rias.

"Just as you know, Ojou-Sama, only mature aged Devils can participate in official Rating Game. But if it's an unofficial match between Pure-Blood Devils, even immature Devils can participate. However, in this case…."

"When it involves the family and household problems."

"In other words Otou-Sama and the others decided to have a game as a last resort if I was to decline, right?…Just how far are they intending to interfere with my life to feel satisfied…!"

"Then Ojou-Sama, you are saying you would also decline to participate in the game?"

"No, I won't, since this is a chance. Alright then. Let's settle this with a game, Raiser."

Raiser then smirked at what Rias had said and he responded with an overconfident tone.

"Hee, so you're accepting it. I don't mind. But I'm already a matured Devil and I have already participated in the official game. Right now, I have won most of the games. Even so, you still want to play, Rias?"

"I will. I will blow you away, Raiser!"

"Fine. If you win, do whatever you like. But if I win, you will marry me immediately."

Both of them started giving each other an intense glare, Grayfia then added.

"Understood. I, Grayfia, have confirmed both sides opinion. I will be in charge of the game between the two household. Is that okay?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Both of them had agreed to the conditions of the match between the both of them.

"Understood. I will inform the two households then."

Raiser then smirked and looked Rias's Peerage members, and asked.

"Hey, Rias. Would the ones here be your servants?"

"So what?"

"Then this match will be a laugh. Only your Queen, the 'Priestess of Thunder' can fight on par with my adorable servants."

As Raiser was laughing, he suddenly snapped his fingers and another magic opened inside of the room with several shadows appearing from it. And fifteen girls came from the magic circle, symbolizing that Raiser had a full set.

"Well, these are my cute servants. Someone who only has a hand full of pieces wouldn't even be a challenge."

"That's it, I'm tired of you constantly bad talking Rias-Senpai! A womanizer like you isn't good enough to be with Buchou!"

"Heroes love women. That's a saying in the human world, right? A good phrase indeed. But this is just a close relationship with my servants. A Low-Class Human like you wouldn't understand."

"Hero my ass! You are just a bird guy! Fire bird Phoenix? Hahaha! That's the same as Yakitori!"

At that moment, Lance started laughing to himself at Issei's sudden comment along with Kiba, Van, Akeno and even Koneko cracked up a smile. Raiser on the other hand made an angered expression on his face, and he glared towards Issei as both of them started approaching each other.

"What that that you Low-Class Bastard?!"

"You heard me!"

Both of them started glaring towards each other with great intensity, with Issei summoning his Boosted Gear and Raiser surrounded flames around his fist. They then charged towards each other with their fists pulled back, as both of them preparing to hit each other. But suddenly Lance had appeared in the middle of them and caught Issei's Boosted Gear cladded fist with his right hand and Raiser's flame cladded fist with his left hand.

"Alright, I think that's enough. Why don't you two just settle this little skirmish later?"

""Tch.""

Issei clicked his tongue as removed his hand and deactivated his Boosted Gear, while Raiser snatched his hand away from him. He then turned towards Rias with an uncaring expression.

"Rias, how about we have a match in 10 days? We could do it now, but that wouldn't be interesting."

"…Are you giving me a handicap."

"Are you against it? Is it humiliating? Rating Game isn't something simple that you can win with only your feelings. If you can't use your servant's power to the fullest, then you will lose immediately. So it's not weird for you to train with your servants for your first Rating Game. I have seen Devils who lost without using their power to the fullest countless of times, no matter how great their potential and power was."

Rias only remained silent at what Raiser had said, he then turned Lance with a slight smirk on his face.

"Wait, you're the Du Lac families' heir from the Chivalric Order…I feel sorry for you."

"What?"

"The Six Paladins and the Head Paladin are nothing but jokes, in the past they were like the boogeymen to the High-Class Devils for their supposed monstrous strength. But look at what happened one of them lost their nerve and quit, while the other Paladins were weak enough to get killed in combat. And your weak father was known as the Head Paladin, a man known as the 'True War God' left his little kid all alone…how pathetic is that. I guess Human truly are weaklings."

At Raiser's comment Lance's expression darkened slightly while Issei started clenching his teeth out of anger, after what Raiser had said.

"Bastard! Our dads weren't…."

"So, you believe my dad was weak along with the others who gave up their lives to save the lives of the kids and fellow Knights. You're a pathetic overconfident High-Class Devil who only relies on nothing but his clan's ability."

"U-Uh, Lance…."

Issei looked towards Lance with a slightly frightened expression on his face along with the rest of the members of the Occult Research and Raiser's Peerage, as he started sensing the immense killing intent coming from Lance's body. Lance's eyes started turning sharper with his pupil becoming slightly slitted and turned pale green, but he closed his eyes and sighed out of irradiation.

"I'm not even the mood to deal with you, so if you hate the Human World so much then you're free to stay in the Underworld and rot for all I care. And by the way that quote 'Heroes love women' is reversed…women loves heroes, not losers."

Lance stepped back away from Raiser with his fist still clenched, Raiser only scoffed towards Lance as he went towards the magic circle. Before vanishing from sight, he looked towards Rias and stated.

"Rias, the next time we meet will be at the game."

And Raiser completely vanished from inside of the Occult Research Club along with his servants, once he did Issei sighed out of relief and looked towards Lance.

"Seriously, you had me worried…for a second I thought you were going to go berserk."

"What was that about? One second, you're your usual nonchalant else and then you're releasing killing intent that I've never sensed even from a Demon."

At Van's question, Lance started scratching his cheek out of embarrassment until Grayfia interjected and explained.

"It's common for an immature War God Mode, since its creation was partly because the original Sir Lancelot fought in many battles and surpassing his bodies' normal limitations. At times Lancelot completely gave into his anger and tore through a large number of men hence why it's called the 'War God Mode'."

"Wow, you seem to know about my families' odd trait despite the fact that me, my dad and grandmother were the only ones who were ever able to use it."

"Well, Galahad-Sama were good friends of the Maou and I, but that can be explained a different time Now, I'll take my leave."

Grayfia bowed her head towards them, as a magic circle appeared under her feet and she vanished from sight. Once she was gone Rias sighed slightly, but another question had entered her mind.

"Lance, what are you doing here?"

"Huh, didn't you send me that request? It had the Gremory Clan symbol drawn on it."

Lance reached into his pocket and pulled out the request that was stick on his door and showed it to Rias. The request read:

To: The Knights of Chivalry
From: Anonymous

Request Description: Come by the Occult Research Room and assist them in anyway possible.

She looked at the request with a confused expression on her face, as she read the request.

"Wait, I didn't place that on your door and that's not even my handwriting…it's…."

Rias' eyes then widened slightly out of surprise, but she smiled slightly and mumbled to herself low enough for no one else to hear here.

"Onii-Sama."

"Well, it seems that you guys got into a harsh situation and so I'll help you guy."

"But, why this doesn't have anything to…."

"I really don't need to have a reason to help anyone that includes my friends…and besides I really want to see the look on that guy's face when he's beaten. Even though the Phenex Clan is widely known for the so-called Immortality. There are several ways around it, one way you'll need someone preferably a Power-Type fighter who can completely overwhelm him and fight against him in closer quarters without getting burned."

"But, I don't have a Power-Type Fighter in my Peerage."

"You do now."

Lance smirked as he directed towards Issei, who made a slightly embarrassed expression on his face and then he looked towards Rias.

"Rias-Senpai, I would like to join you in the Rating Game and apart of your Peerage."

Rias looked towards him with a slightly shocked expression on her face, but she later smiled towards him and answered.

"Yes, it'll be a pleasure to have you in my family. Everyone, I apologize for getting you all involved in this."

Each of the then shook their head disagreeing what Rias had said, Akeno then responded.

"We're apart of your Peerage, so we'll always have your back."

"Akeno-San's right, as a Knight of Rias Gremory I'll defend you."

"Same here."

"…I feel the same."

"I'll also assist in anyway I can."

Rias smiled towards all of them close to tearing up at everyone's response, Issei smiled and then looked towards Lance while stated.

"Lance, even with my Boosted Gear I don't think that I'll be able to completely overwhelm him."

"That's why we'll be working on awakening the full forbidden power of the Welsh Dragon."

"You're talking about the Balance Breaker, but you told me that…."

"I thought of a special training method especially for you, to help you achieve Balance Breaker. If it's you, then it'll definitely work."

"This training is going to be extremely painful or extremely odd isn't it?"

"Eh, I wouldn't say odd. But, I'll definitely be putting you through hell."

Lance smirked toward Issei, who looked towards him with a slightly confused/terrified expression on his face and he sighed slightly.

"Well, I'll just have to trust you."

"That's the spirit."

A/N: And there goes chapter Six of the Magic Knight. It's been days since the incident within the church against the Stray Fallen Angels and Exorcists. Within that span of time, Asia found out more about her family, Lance had some visitors at his house and the most arrogant Devil who was so close to being torn apart by Lance. Next, Chapter is the training for the Rating Game. I wonder what Lance has in store for Ise, until next time.
