Chapter 6: One Fish, Two Fish, Dead Bird, New Bitch!

Spectator Room (3rd POV)

The Spectator Room was located within the east wing of the Gremory Mansion. Within this room were several figures of large importance in the underworld. Among these figures were two of the leaders of the entire devil race. These two being Sirzechs Lucifer, and Serafall Leviathan.

Sirzechs is a handsome man that looks in his mid twenties with shoulder length crimson hair and deep blue eyes, much like his sister and father. To his right was a beautiful woman who looked the same age as her husband with black hair tied into one long braid and green eyes. She also had a very large bust and a body to rival that of her mother in law. This is Aiyanna Gremory, formerly Aiyanna Sitri.

To Aiyanna's right is a beautiful girl; looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and blue eyes. She also has a child-like body albeit with large breasts. She is dressed in a magical girl uniform. This is the Satan Serafall Leviathan.

"I don't think something this exciting has happened in centuries." The father of Sirzechs and Rias, Zeoticus said with a wide grin. He has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like his two children, Sirzechs and Rias Gremory. He also has a short, red beard with protrusions similar to fangs or horns.

"Your daughter was born 18 short years ago, Dear." His wife, Venelana Gremory said with a smile that wasn't a smile. Venelana looks very much like her daughter, albeit with shorter, flaxen hair and violet eyes.

Zeoticus froze for a few moments before putting on a nervous smile. "I mean the second best thing!" He corrected.

"Your grandson was born a decade ago." Venelana's face had not changed. Millicas was sitting beside his grandmother and knew her face well. He offered a silent prayer to the satans that his grandfather would survive tonight. Millicas has short crimson hair and bright green eyes. He's also the youngest Gremory at 11 years old.

Zeoticus shivered as he looked back at his wife with a face full of fear. "I mean, the-"

"I think it would be best if I stop you before you dig yourself into an even deeper hole, Father." Sirzechs chuckled.

Zeoticus sent his son a silent thank you as a crimson magic circle illuminated the room.

From the circle emerged Grayfia Lucifuge, along with the ORC and Student Council.

"I have returned with Lady Rias, and Lady Sona as well as their peerages." Grayfia bowed.

"Ria-tan!" Sirzechs personality shifted a full 180 as he teleported to his little sister and gave her a long hug.

"Please…don't call me that." Rias begged. She was already very stressed due to the match, and hadn't even gotten a wink of sleep last night.

Sirzechs understood Rias' distress and stepped back hesitantly, although his mood was still through the roofs.

"So-tan!"

Sona cringed. She had hoped all attention would be on her, but of course she could never be that lucky. Sona's sister came barreling into her. Wrapping her into a bone splitting hug that Sona didn't…couldn't return.

"I missed you so much! Why are you such a meanie!? I just wanna squeeze you!" Serafall cried tears of joy, rubbing her chin on Sona's face.

"I can't believe it…The satans are sis-cons!?" Sona's pawn Genshirou Saji shouted in disbelief. Silence descended on the room as everyone stared at the poor idiot.

Serafall released Sona and the latter facepalmed at her pawns' stupidity. All of Sona's peerage took several big steps from Saji, and the girls who had feelings for him gave him well wishes.

He looked confused until the low emanating aura of Grayfia was felt from behind him.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I called it how I saw it!" Saji begged, not believing for a second what was about to happen to him.

"Calm down, Fia! If you kill him, So-tan will be sad, and we can't have that~" Serafall said pointing at her sister with a toothy grin. Grayfia relaxed her aura and bowed.

"I believe it would be best if I go retrieve Lord Riser and Mr. Satoru." Without another word she disappeared.

"You're lucky." Yuuto chuckled, helping Saji up from the ground. Everyone found the boy's petrified state rather hilarious.

"So it's finally going to start." Lord Phenex who was on the other side of the room with his wife and daughter chuckled.

Zeoticus grinned looking at his old friend. "Yes, and how I can't wait!"

Venelana gestured for the ORC and Student Council to take their seats and they complied.

"I'm curious." Aiyanna said with a small smile, looking towards the students. "Who do you all think will win?"

The students looked nervous as they were all suddenly put on the spot. Seeing this, Sona decided to put her bet down early.

"While I do not know much about Isamu-san besides his lineage, I do know that he is not to be underestimated."

"I would have to agree with Sona. I do not know the full extent of Isamu's power, but I believe in him." Rias added. Everyone had expected as much. After all, her future was in his hands.

All of the other students nodded. None of them were betting against their fellow schoolmate, but most of them did not know the extent of his power.

"An Egyptian Demi-God vs The Immortal Phenex. This will no doubt be an interesting match." Sirzechs said, looking at his father.

"That actually reminds me. You never did tell us which God is his father, Rias." Venelana reminded her daughter.

The day Rias had told her parents she met a demi-god she had bragged to them for several minutes about how he gave her peerage blessings before leaving.

Rias looked at the screen that projected the arena. Within it Riser was standing but Isamu was still yet to appear.

"His father is Anubis."

All the devils' mature devils raised an eyebrow.

"...That was not who I was expecting!" Zeoticus said standing with a wide grin. He had thought Isamu was a lesser god. Even lesser divinity is fun to watch after all. However this changes everything!

"I had not expected you to make such reliable friends, Rias." Venelana giggled before narrowing her eyes at her daughter. "Oh, my mistake. I had forgotten you both were so close. After all, if he wins, I'll have to get used to calling him my son in law."

Rias' face reddened at her mothers teasing tone.

The Phenex family certainly had not been expecting such a development, but they still had faith in Riser. Especially Riser's little sister, Ravel. Ravel is a beautiful young girl with dark blue eyes. She has long blonde hair tied into twintails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose.

"While Anubis is a very powerful god, I doubt his son will be much of a match for a Phenex." Lord Phenex expressed his thoughts.

"Pftt!" Everyone looked at Issei who was trying his best not to laugh. When he managed to stifle it down, he noticed everyone's eyes on him.

"Was something funny?" Ravel asked with an annoyed face.

Issei looked at Asia who was holding his hand before smiling at the drill haired girl. "I think Buchou left out one thing about Isamu."

Rias widened her eyes before scratching the back of her head nervously. With so much going on, and Isamu always being so powerful without using it she had actually managed to forget informing her family.

"And what would that be?" Zeoticus asked, barely able to take the suspense.

"Isamu is the Red Dragon Emperor."

All the devils, excluding the Kuoh students, dropped their jaws at Rias' pawns announcement.

"T-That's absurd!" Lord Phenex shouted getting up from his seat.

'How the fuck is something like this possible.' Zeoticus thought before an evil glint appeared in his eye. He just ended up getting an even better son in law! This match was over before it began!

"Not to mention his mom is a nekoshou." Sona added while fixing her glasses.

'This kid is a jackpot!' Zeoticus fantasized about all of the strong Gremory children Isamu and Rias would make. Even if they wouldn't be full devils, this would no doubt secure the Gremory's future!

"Quite an overwhelming background this boy has. Let's see if it will be enough." Sirzechs smiled and everyone turned to the screen as Isamu's figure entered the arena.

Everyone couldn't help but notice that Isamu looked completely different in his current attire. He was wearing a gold striped headpiece, a golden neck collar, golden wrist cuffs, and a golden adorned belt around his black pants. Apparently he had changed before coming to the arena. To everyone watching, he looked like the personification of an Egyptian God. He was shirtless and his chiseled brown skinned chest and abs looked like they had been refined for power.

"He looks like an idiot with that weird hat." Issei deadpanned.

"Don't let the Egyptians hear you saying that, Issei." Rias facepalmed.

Everyone turned to the crimson magic circle as Grayfia appeared. She gave a small bow to the satans, then to the heads of the two families before taking her seat next to Aiyanna.

"I can't take this suspense! Start it Fia!" Serafall said with childlike excitement.

"By your command."

In the Arena (3rd POV)

Isamu and Riser were staring at each other. Ever since they'd arrived, neither of them had said a word. Though they had two different reasons for their silence.

Riser didn't want to say anything to a piece of trash.

Isamu was contemplating how to take out a piece of trash.

"[Greetings, devils across the underworld. The fight between Riser Phenex and Isamu Satoru is about to commence. I am Grayfia Lucifuge, and I will be the impartial judge of this challenge. The rules are simple, no killing, and no time limit. The winner will be declared when one party either surrenders, loses consciousness, or has been brought to near fatality. This fight is to determine who will take the hand of Lady Rias Gremory. Is the challenged ready?]"

"I am ready." Riser snarled.

"[Is the challenger ready?]"

"Uh. Wait, hold on a second." Isamu said as he took off his head piece and teleported it back to his house.

'I just know someone was talking shit about it.' He thought.

"Yeah, thanks for waiting. I'm ready now."

"[...Then let the fight…Commence!]"

Riser instantly sent a blast of Phenex fire right at his challenger, to which Isamu smoothly sidestepped.

"Fuck you!" Riser shouted. He held out both palms and two Phenex magic circles sprang to life on them. The next moment a huge torrent of flames was launched out both hands and came together to make an even bigger blast.

Isamu whistled as he watched the flames coming toward him at a very fast rate. He jumped in the air, just out of reach of the flames. It was then when he noticed the smile on Riser's face.

"Begone!" Riser shouted as he sent a blast of wind to the flames making them explode in size and consume Isamu completely.

In the Spectator Room

"Well that was underwhelming." Lady Phenex giggled. She had definitely expected more from the red dragon emperor with divine blood, but apparently she would be incorrect.

Rias' blood had gone cold. She could not believe Isamu could get completely consumed by Riser's flames. Every single Kuoh student in the room would surely perish to such a powerful attack.

"Did you expect any less of big brother, Mother." Ravel crossed her arms with a big smile.

"I wouldn't count him out yet." Sirzechs gave a knowing smile to Rias. "God's are more durable than you would realize."

Rias calmed herself and looked back at the screen. Just as her brother said, as the flames began to disperse, Isamu was standing there covered in a bright red and small burns.

Arena (Isamu 1st POV)

I may have underestimated the guy a bit too much…But who would blame me!

I slapped off the flames that were still burning my accessories before looking at Riser in a new light. This guy wasn't weak, nor was he inexperienced. He was definitely the strongest guy I've fought to date.

"How the hell are you alive?" Riser asked. Though surprisingly he was calm if not a little pissed off.

"God shit." I answered crassly before rushing him. I completely blitzed him with my speed and sent a knee right towards his solar plexus. He doubled over and I followed up with a spin kick to his chin sending him up into the air.

"Arghh…The fuck?" He asked in disbelief.

I ended my little combo by teleporting just above him and sending a kick to his face. Sending both of us to the ground, as I rode his face like a skateboard for several meters before coming to a stop.

I still had my right foot on his face as he laid there. He was still conscious and I could see the glare he was giving me, so I raised my leg and brought it back down hard, cracking the arena below us and leaving a sizable hole in Riser's skull.

The regenerative flames of the Phenex family quickly started to repair the damage and I stepped back to watch in fascination. That skill is busted!

The flames only took a dozen seconds to fully fix the man's face. He stood up and gave me a look of pure irritation.

"You're stronger than I thought you were. For that I grace you with my praise. However, you forget yourself! I am the Immortal Phenex! I cannot be stopped!" He announced with raised arms as if taunting me to try again.

I blinked twice before reminding him. "Dude there's no time limit."

Riser just chuckled at my words. "Indeed! I look forward to seeing your desperate face when you've run out of gas!"

I continued to look at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world. Was he so far up on his high horse that he didn't notice my reserves had not even dropped much since the start of this fight. While {War Aura} is more taxing than {Akhekh Incarnate} I can still hold it for weeks!

"Don't hold your breath." I sighed as I blitzed him again, this time punching a hole through his stomach. All the while he kept his smile.

"Have you not learned, you can't-"

I cut him off by unleashing a large amount of lighting from my arm that was currently inside of his body. He shrieked in pain as I poured more [Storm] power into him. When I thought he had enough, I retracted my arm letting him fall to the ground. He was panting like a dog in heat.

"This is seriously a one-sided battle. Just give up." I said with a look of slight disgust. His skin was charred and cracked, he looked like he had just escaped a fire with third degree burns covering his body. The worst part is he did smell like chicken.

"Guess that fire immunity of yours doesn't extend to lightning." I sighed.

Riser's flames once again sprang to life and I settled for watching. It was honestly sad to see, but I hadn't shown off yet.

When Riser finished healing, his smile was gone. He got back to his feet and the scowl of anger was clear and present. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize he was royally fucked.

"You bastard! Who put you up to this! Was it my father, did he wanna knock me down a peg!?" Riser asked in anger and disbelief. He surely knew by now winning was impossible. After all, if I wanted to I could have just kept shocking him until he lost consciousness.

[BOOST]

The [Boosted Gear] sprang to life on my left arm. Though it looked different. It was still primarily red, but it also had teal stripes coming down along it. There are also small gold drawings of my dragon form on the red parts. The gems that were previously green are now multicolored with five different colors. Purple, red, black, blue, and white. The colors that represent my domains.

Riser took several steps back in fear of what this new change meant.

"...No…It can't be! How is this possible!" Riser shouted, fear all too present on his face.

[BOOST]

I started walking towards him slowly hoping to instill some fear into him.

"It's exactly what it looks like, Riser." I said as I grew closer, my body began to grow.

[BOOST]

Riser had fallen down to his butt and was now crawling away. The aura that was radiating off of me was enough to make any high class devil quiver in their boots.

[BOOST]

My body had finally stopped growing, and now I was fully in my {Akhekh Incarnate} form.

Spectator Room

"Well isn't this a surprising development?" Aiyanna said with her cheek in her palm and a very warm smile.

"It certainly is my dear." Venelana giggled.

The entire spectator room had long since understood that Isamu was going to be the winner. After he had completely dominated Riser it was obvious. However what was not obvious was him turning into a near 50 meter golden dragon with antlers, a serpent's tail, and the face of a bird.

"He's totally wearing the [Boosted Gear] as a shoe!" Issei laughed. He had seen his oldest friend's dragon form long ago, but he had never seen Isamu activate the gear in that form.

Everyone was too amazed by the development to laugh along with the boy.

"The surprises just keep coming." Zeoticus said in disbelief.

"He looks like a perfect copy of Set." Serafall said, although she had suddenly adopted a more serious face. It was already amazing for the son of Anubis to be the red dragon emperor. Add the ability to transform into a perfect copy of one of the Egyptians strongest gods and you had yourself a problem.

"Yes, this can bode badly for us. When the Egyptian Gods come to hear that such a valuable piece has made ties with us, they might cause some problems." Sirzechs said as he fell into deep thought.

Most pantheons didn't like the devils and wanted nothing to do with them. Though if Isamu joined the devils and married Rias, it would surely get their attention and either they call for an alliance to varying extents. Or they would demand Isamu cut all ties with the devils. Either way, it could pose problems and more than a few headaches for the Satan of foreign affairs.

Sirzechs looked towards Serafall who was still looking serious and gave her a silent apology. She definitely had her work cut out for her.

In the Arena

"You and I aren't so different, but unlike you, I don't think of Rias as just some trophy to collect, or a girl with a nice body to bang. No, unlike you I see Rias as she truly is. Just a high school girl trying to live life to her own accord. She's not some perfect lady, or some trophy wife you can lord over." I explained with a deep scowl.

[BOOST]

Riser flew into the air hoping to avoid whatever I had planned for him.

"Why! Why are you so determined to get in my way! She is rightfully mine! From the day she was born that has been fact!" Riser shouted.

[BOOST]

"That's where you're wrong. The moment Rias offered herself to me…I vowed to protect her. Not because she's a Gremory. Not because she's an absolute bombshell. But because at that moment I wanted her to be mine. To be my woman and no one else's." I admitted.

[BOOST]

"You insolent shit! I'll burn you and all you love to ash!" Riser shouted, summoning a low breeze that quickly grew into a tornado. A wicked grin consumed his face as a small amount of fire flickered on the tips of his fingers. The fire grew just as quickly, and soon a tornado of fire and wind had consumed nearly the entire arena.

[BOOST]

The familiar sound caused Riser to freeze as he looked down at the blazing inferno below him. He had completely exhausted his demonic power, and barely had enough to fly anymore.

[BOOST]

The sound continued and Riser's face quickly shifted to fear. He waited in the sky as if he was a little kid under his bed waiting for his mom to leave.

[BOOST]

"You spent years holding a dagger above Rias' throat with this marriage knowing she didn't want it." My voice roared from the flames. "Threw her into a hell of your own making, forcing her to give up her happiness for the sake of her family's selfish agenda."

"I give up!" Riser shouted.

[BOOST]

"How dare you try to run away from your punishment!"

"[Riser Phenex has retired the winner is Isamu Satoru!]" Grayfia announced.

[CHAOTIC LONGINUS SMASHER]

My purple [Chaos] aura mixed with Ddraig's own green power and was sent towards the vanishing Riser Phenex and just as it was about to wipe his existence away from all realms he disappeared completely.

'[Ahaha! Now that's how you make an introduction, Partner!]' Ddraig roared in my mind as my eyes remained where Riser had vanished. An explosion erupted seconds later, courtesy of my attack that left a deafening boom in the arena.

'Yes.' Was my curt response. My body started glowing blue and with a flash I was gone from the arena.

I appeared inside of the infirmary and deadpanned when one of the nurses offered to give me a check up. Did she not just watch the fight?

"I'm fine." I said, walking out of the room and into the halls of the Gremory mansion. I could sense the ORC, Council, and several powerful devils so I decided to head that way. Before I could though, a magic circle appeared by me and Grayfia stepped out.

I looked at the maid and frowned when I saw no emotion on her face. Though her feelings told me she was happy.

"Lord Isamu, the spectators request-"

"Call me Isamu." I cut her off. I didn't know where this Lord business came from, but it honestly felt weird to hear it.

Grayfia looked at me for several seconds with a contemplative gaze before slowly shaking her head. "I am a maid of the Gremory household, and you are engaged to the next Heiress. Making you the future Lord of the house. It would be completely inappropriate for me to call you anything unbefitting of your status."

Hearing I was engaged to Rias brought a small smile to my face.

"If you must, and to answer their request…I decline." I said as I continued making my way to the room. I just wanted to go talk my shit to the Phenex family and leave. I was already in deep shit with them, might as well make it worse.

Grayfia followed me, and though I wasn't looking at her I could tell she was dumbfounded.

"Although I worded it as a request, It was my King who asked for your presence. Your attendance isn't a choice." She said with a slightly colder voice.

I stopped walking and looked at her again. Once again losing myself in her cold red eyes that were so similar to mine, yet brighter.

"Fine." I said, stepping towards her.

She activated a teleportation circle that was not the normal Gremory circle. It was a silver circle and the crest kind of looked like a robot with wings. With a flash of light we disappeared from the halls and reappeared in the spectator room.

"Hey, nice win! You totally messed that damn egg layer up!" Issei laughed upon my arrival. I walked forward and fist bumped him. A grin plastered on my face.

"Of course. You know I had to." I laughed.

"I didn't expect you to go all out though! How come you didn't use your gear against me?" Issei asked, his smile changing to a daring look.

"I had to make my supernatural debut as great as possible. There was no need to do so against you." I explained, hoping to avoid a hit from the idiot. I really would rather not break out into our normal antics around such highly respected figures.

"And quite the great debut it was." A long crimson haired man said.

I raised an eyebrow as I turned around and looked at all the devils in the room/ Devils I had never seen before. All of them were either very handsome, or very beautiful! One of them even looked like she could be Rias' sister.

"Oh, right. We have not been introduced yet. I am Zeoticus Gremory, Lord of the Gremory house." Zeoticus said with a surprising warm smile. I was honestly touched by the warmth behind the smile. However before I could respond Zeoticus opened his mouth again. "But you can call me father."

"Father!" Rias shouted. When I turned to her, she looked at me and turned her red face away from mine.

"That's quite enough, Dear. After all there is a proper order to these kinds of things." The Rias lookalike said with a loving look at Zeoticus.

"You may be right. Lana, but you must understand my excitement!" Zeoticus giggled like a schoolgirl who had just received a present from her love.

Suddenly a twin tailed woman walked up to me, giving me a serious look. I instinctively stepped back. Her sudden action would be enough to explain such a response, but upon feeling her power I instantly knew who she was. The Devil King Serafall Leviathan. Suddenly her face broke out into a child-like pout.

"Do you know how much work you have given me, Isa-tan!?"

I was completely dumbfounded as I looked at the very powerful woman.

"Isa-tan?" I asked. She didn't answer and instead puffed her cheeks out more. "The fuck is going on?"

Sona walked forward, rubbing her arm shyly and avoiding eye contact with me. "...I'm…sorry."

I didn't know what she was apologizing for, but for some reason I felt inclined to blame her for this new development. I then began to look around the room, trying to find literally anything else to distract me from this current situation. When I didn't see the very people I came to talk to my blood started to boil.

"Weren't the Phenex family supposed to be here?"

"They left." Another crimson haired man answered. I looked towards him and was certain that this was Sirzechs Lucifer. "Upon your victory, they hurried home to check on Riser."

I sighed. I really wanted to tear them a new one for raising such a shitty guy. I honestly had expected him to act a little better once he realized he couldn't win, but that last comment about my loved ones pissed me off.

Although my anger subsided when I felt a tug on my neck collar. I looked behind myself and saw Rias looking up at me nervously. A complete shift from how I would usually see her. My heart dropped seeing the look on her face. I had thought it would be a possibility that she would ask me to cut off the engagement between us, but I was rather optimistic that would not be the case.

"...Do you think we can talk?"

"Yeah, right now?" I asked, earning a nod from her. I looked over to her family. Zeoticus sighed before speaking up.

"...Yes it's only fair if you want to talk. We can talk about the future of the Gremory family once you both are done." He said with a forced smile. He no doubt shared my fears.

I followed Rias out of the room, and down the hall. We walked for a few minutes before she stopped at a door and opened it. We walked in, and I was introduced to a very well decorated bedroom with a lot of Japanese trinkets and a few anime posters. There was also a bookshelf filled to the brim with lightnovels.

"You're a weeb?" I asked in genuine surprise. I didn't know if this was her bedroom, but why would she bring me to someone else's room to talk?

Rias nearly tripped over herself, before turning back to me. Her face is as red as her hair.

"I-I…yes." She admitted.

I honestly hadn't expected a well organized girl like Rias to be a lover of Japanese culture. So much so that she would delve into the dark hole that is weebism.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked, hoping to rip this bandaid off as fast as possible.

Rias paused for a second then gestured to her bed. I followed her direction and sat on her bed. A moment later she sat right next to me.

"...I wanted to thank you." She started, turning to me and giving me a smile. "I didn't want to have this conversation with my family. I wanted to personally thank you for helping me out of the very marriage I have spent my entire life trying to avoid."

"I made a promise, Buchou. Of course I'd keep it." I chuckled, giving her a sheepish smile. I noticed a frown appear on her face briefly before it vanished like it was never there.

"Even still. The fact you would go out of your way to save me. Someone who isn't even from your own pantheon…means a lot." She said, getting a little closer to me.

My eyes widened slightly as I started to realize where this was going.

"It doesn't matter if you're from my pantheon, or not. The fact stands that you, and everyone in the ORC, mean a lot to me. I'd fight for all of you." I said honestly.

Rias gained a warm smile. She reached out and placed her hand on my cheek and started closing in on me. Following her actions I leaned in and our lips met for seconds before we separated.

"I guess technically we're engaged now…but if it's alright with you, can we take things slow?" Rias asked nervously.

Part of me wanted to push her down and take her here and now, but the gentler side of me kicked the fuck out of my forceful side. I brought my lips to her and kissed her softly. Savoring the taste of her mouth for half a minute before pulling back.

"Of course we can, Rias." Her smile grew just a bit wider as we embraced. Her head on my chest.

"Ah shit!" The familiar voice of Issei came from outside the door. Asia, and Issei falling down as they accidently took the door with them.

Rias and I stared at the two of them for a moment before the rest of our clubmates walked into the room. Yuuto had a sheepish smile, Koneko gave a small approving nod, and Akeno was giggling to herself.

"Seems you've finally found a man, Rias." Akeno said in her normal teasing tone.

"Sorry, Buchou. It was Akeno's idea to tail you guys." Yuuto admitted, no doubt hoping to avoid punishment.

"...Sweets god has rizz." Koneko said with a thumbs up.

"You bastard! I was supposed to claim Buchou's delicious breasts! I had dibs!" Issei shouted, although the faint smile on his face told me his true feelings.

"Congratulations, Rias!" Asia cheered.

Both Rias and I stared at the ORC, before looking at each other and laughing. The rest of the club watched us with smiles. Rias stopped laughing and gave the club a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"I'm doubling your contracts!" She cheered.

Yuuto shivered at the look and upon hearing her words he dropped to the ground in pain.

"What the hell, Buchou!" Issei shouted.

"You ruined our first moment. A moment we would no doubt tell our kids in the future." Rias said with crossed arms. Her terrifying smile was still in place, and it was obvious she was about to start dishing out punishments.

"Kids?" I asked in confusion. "Didn't you want to take things slow?"

Rias completely ignored me as she got up and walked towards her peerage. Her gaze was focused on the smiling Akeno. Crimson aura appeared around her.

"Ufufu, I don't mind doing the contracts, but I don't quite plan on letting you have him all to yourself." Akeno announced as lightning started crackling around her body.

"He's my fiance, I know how you are and I'm warning you just this once. Back off." Rias said as her aura grew even larger.

"Nuh uh. I've already decided to have an affair with sweet Isamu here." Akeno admitted, giggling as her own lightning filled aura grew as large as her king's.

I had long since walked over to the other members, hoping to avoid the splash zone.

"Should…Should we do something?" Issei asked, looking at me.

"Nah, let em fight. Honestly, it's kinda hot." I said shamelessly.

"They could hurt each other." Asia added shyly.

"Don't worry, this happens more than you think. I'm honestly surprised they went so long without having one of their little 'disagreements.'" Yuuto chuckled.

"Lady Rias."

We all turned to the broken down doorway to see Grayfia. Her face as emotionless as ever.

"I don't believe I need to tell you the disadvantages of fighting in your own room. Akeno. It is absolutely unacceptable for a queen to challenge her king. Under no circumstance is this okay."

Akeno turned and bowed to the maid instantly. "My apologies, Grayfia."

I frowned. Was it that easy to get Akeno to back off? Did I just need to put some bass in my voice? Or was it because Grayfia is the Queen of Lucifer?

"Ensure it does not happen again." Grayfia added. The small smile from Akeno guaranteed that it definitely would. "I have come to inform all of you that my king has decided to throw a party in celebration of Lady Rias, and Lord Isamu's newly formed engagement. It will take place tomorrow evening and many of the underworld's devils will be there."

I cocked a brow as I looked at the maid. I know I had a rather impressive introduction to the supernatural world, but why did we have to host an extravagant party? Getting familiarized with the devils didn't sound like such a good idea, and I am not so optimistic to believe that all devils are like Rias.

'[A good assumption on your part. This so called "celebration" will only bring frustration and anguish for you.]' Ddraig said, his tone of voice did not betray his amusement.

'Of course it's going to be a pain in the ass.'

"Is this necessary?" I asked, hoping to get out of this.

Grayfia looked at me with a strange glint in her eye, as if she was expecting me to ask that.

"...No, but my king has never been one to read the room." She said as she rubbed her forehead. "Still he is strong enough to get away with putting everyone in such…uncomfortable situations."

Damn. Stress was pretty much leaking off the silver haired maid as she said those words. Just how long has she had to put up with Lucifer's shit?

"Uncomfortable situations" is an understatement." Rias shuddered.

"Moving on." Grayfia sighed, before regaining her composure and addressing us. "It would be in your best interest to prepare yourself for such an event. Many devils are quite interested in you after all."

My face dropped into a childish pout. I really didn't want to play nice with a bunch of random, malicious, and greedy devils. Not much I can do though, my fate is sealed.

"Right, I'll do what I must, but please tell Lord Lucifer from now on that I would like to know about these things in advance. He may be the leader of the devils, but I will not be brought into his tomfoolery!"

Everyone raised an eyebrow and Issei placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Dude…it's not that deep."

"I will be sure to tell my lord your request. With my duty out of the way, I will take my leave." Grayfia bowed before walking out. The door to the room magically repaired itself as she left.

"She's magic!" Issei shouted in shock.

"...Idiot." Koneko muttered as she also walked out of the door.

"Issei…we're all magic." Yuuto said with a nervous smile.

"Don't." I waved Yuuto off, pushing him out of the door as we both took our leave. It was better not to get involved with Issei when he was on his dumbstreaks. The man is the slowest person you'll ever meet. If it's not about tits or hentai, you'll probably have to explain it a dozen times.

"So, you and Buchou." Yuuto caught my attention with an almost smug smirk.

"Yup, guess that makes me your boss." I said, returning his smirk. "Which means you can kiss your peaceful days goodbye. Issei got his training arc, it's your turn!"

Yuuto chuckled, no doubt thinking I was joking.

I wasn't.

We walked around the mansion for a bit before deciding to head back. I knew Rias was tired, simply looking at her face and her actions explained as much. Yuuto and I said our goodbyes to Rias and Akeno before teleporting back to the school. Yuuto went his own way, and I teleported back home.

'[Seems the first major event of your life is coming to a close, and now you find yourself with a good future secured. Any regrets?]'

'Not fucking Akeno yet.' I shrugged.

'[You start seeing the woman you find most beautiful in the entire world, and you think of breeding her friend?]' Ddraig's amusement was obvious.

'Honestly, it's more like payback. I'm still not over that time Akeno locked me in the closet. I'm definitely getting her back for that. Hopefully Rias is okay with that…if she's not, I won't push it.'

'[Many if not all women do not like finding themselves as one of many. I doubt she will be 'okay' with it. Though with your growing strength, I'm sure she will allow it out of necessity. Once you reach your true potential, she simply won't be able to keep up with you.]' Ddraig explained thoughtfully. This dragon was actually really helpful.

'Rias said she wants to go slow, so we should probably put this talk off until later.'

'[You started it, you overgrown bipedal weak fuck.]'

I hopped on my bed and blinked. Then blinked again.

'Who shit in your cereal?' I asked in genuine curiosity. For as long as I've known him, Ddraig has engaged in banter with me, but it's usually just shitty trash talk. What he just said was definitely personal.

Ddraig sighed, a long tired sigh.

'[You have revealed yourself to not just the devils, but also the entire supernatural world. This means, even my rival, Albion's host must have seen your fight. The last time we fought, my host was dealt with, and I'd rather not lose another one if I could avoid it.]'

'I get it. There's a chance he didn't see me fight, but it would be smarter to assume he did. We have no way of telling how strong my rival is, but there's no way he's as strong as me…right?'

I got no answer from Ddraig and felt him cut the link. In hindsight I guess assuming he's not as strong as me is also stupid. This is someone that will be coming for me to kill me, simply for being the Red Dragon Emperor. I shouldn't leave my life up to chance, especially when I don't know who the fuck this guy even is.

The Grigori (3rd POV)

Sitting in a small living room were five people. Two women, and three men. They had all just finished watching something rather interesting. Every single TV in the Grigori had been playing the same fight, a fight between a Phenex and a Demigod.

"Looks like you found your rival." Arthur Pendragon said with a small smile.

The silver haired man in his late teens and hazel eyes stared at the now black screen in contemplation. Vali Lucifer, The White Dragon Emperor, had spent his entire life training. There were many reasons why he did so, but one of the main ones was to fight his rival in mortal combat. As dragons should.

What left him in deep thought was the fact his rival wasn't some weak human who happened to end up with the [Boosted Gear], but instead an Egyptian Demigod who already seemed to be a supernatural powerhouse.

Vali's lips curved upwards, and continued to do so until he had a maniacal grin.

"Isn't it great." Vali started, his voice low yet leaking with excitement. "He's not some shitty lesser, but instead a worthy rival. Our battle will be legendary!"

"{Indeed, never in history has either I, nor Ddraig been born into anyone that was not completely human. Not until now. The Spawn of Lucifer, and The Spawn of Anubis. The Biblical Scourge vs The God of the Dead.}" Albion roared, his voice booming pumping with very unusual excitement.

"The greatest dragon emperors in history, our clash will shake the earth. Our flames will burn all of existence itself, and our-"

"Chun."

Vali's smile dropped immediately, looking towards the golden eyed woman who just insulted him.

"I'm not a damn chun." He said, matter of factly.

"You name all of your attacks super edgy shit. Every moment of your life, you live like there's a camera recording you. To top it all off, you totally have an edgy diary talking about your 'fated battle' with your destined one!" Kuroka announced dramatically.

"...How do you know about that?" Vali asked, his demonic power beginning to flare a bit.

"Reni told Le Fay, and Le Fay told me, you Satan nyam chun!" Kuroka said with a mischievous giggle.

"...You added the nya just to piss me off."

"No shit…Nyah." Kuroka laughed back.

"Fuck you."

"Oh I hope you will nyah!"

Arthur, Le Fay, and Bikou all sighed as they watched their leader and their resident nekoshou go back and forth. Kuroka wasn't even supposed to be in Grigori, less she get hunted down, but she obviously didn't give a fuck. Le Fay seemingly wanted to say something but Arthur held his sister back. He didn't get paid enough to deal with this shit.

"Gimme them dragon kittens nyah!"

Another sigh from the three of them. This was their life.

Sitting at a rather large table were many of the strongest people in all of Grigori. All of them had just finished watching the fight. Frowns could be seen on most of their faces, but one look at their leader and they could all see his beaming smile.

"Fascinating."

"Yes it is, but it's also a problem." The Vice-Governor, Shemzahai, said with a deepening frown.

"It's not a problem if you have lube." Azazel laughed, prompting the entire room to facepalm.

"Lord Azazel, this is not a problem any of us can fuck…except Penemue. She might be able to pull it off." Baraqiel said with a contemplative look.

"Of course it is! This kid is a goldmine! Think of all the progress I can make, if I have not one, but two dragon emperors giving me the data I need!" Azazel jumped out of his seat. It was clear he didn't see the problem with the overpowered demigod who was only growing in strength.

"I understand your excitement, but the devils have secured him on their side. Only way you're getting that data is if we bring peace between the factions." Penemue said, her tone amused.

"That's not happening with Kokabiel and his band of traitors out there plotting war! Even if we claim we're not with him, what's stopping the angels and devils from snapping at us for his deception!?" Baraqiel shouted.

The gruff man had spent way too many years dealing with his boss' laid back attitude to serious shit. The angels have them surrounded? Whip out your dicks and they'll fear for their purity. The devils are advancing on our territory? Capture the hottest ones and kill the rest, its fucking season.

Now Baraqiel had to sit by and watch as his former ally was brewing up a war between the devils. He refused to fight them…not with his daughter on their side. He wanted nothing more than to make peace.

The rest saw his down-trodden expression and gave him concerned frowns. They knew too well of Baraqiel's pain.

"Kokabiel will be dealt with, I'll ensure it myself." Azazel said, actually getting serious as he looked at his saddened brother. "We will not war with the devils, nor the angels. Peace is way more exciting anyways."

"Knowing you, you're not gonna let the Son of Anubis out of your sight until you get what you need." Penemue said standing up and walking towards the man she followed out of heaven. Her hands came to his face and caressed it softly.

A shit eating grin formed on Azazel's face as he looked at his secretary. "I'd sooner cut off my cock…Wait scratch that, I mean I'd sooner…Nevermind, yes I'm gonna get the kid."

As long as it's been, Penemue had never gotten tired of Azazel's humor. Bringing her face to his, her lips met his for the nth time.

"What are your orders, Governor-General?" Penemue asked after their passionate kiss.

Azazel gave her a cheeky smile, then looked at the rest.

"I'm a man that believes anything can be bought for a price. Leave the kid to me. I'm sure I can find something he'd be interested in."

Gremory Territory (Isamu POV)

"No!"

"Get back here you little shit!"

"I'm sorry! It was an accident! A beautiful accident!"

I was currently chasing Issei who was weaving in and out of rooms, running on walls and just trying his best to get away from me.

For the first time since I've learned about the supernatural, I'm chasing Issei with my full speed, minus the [Boosted Gear].

The reason? He had the audacity to "accidentally" trip into Rias' breasts. While I do actually think it was an accident, I won't get such an offense go unpunished!

Activating my [War Aura] I caught the son of a bitch and pinned him to the ground.

"Wait! Isamu! It was an accident I swear! Buchou! Please, call him off!" Issei pleaded.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire, with the exception of myself and Issei who were still in just underwear.

Rias frowned. Her voluptuous body was perfectly wrapped in a crimson dress that showed off an ample amount of cleavage. The back of the dress is completely open, leaving her creamy white back exposed to the warm air. Her hair tied back into a beautiful bun.

"Isamu, I'm sure it was just an accident. The most influential people in the underworld are already waiting for us, and you two aren't even dressed. Please just punish him later." Rias pleaded, and I shrugged.

The son of bitch touched my fiance and bragged about how he did it right in front of me. That pretty much warrants the death penalty, and had he not been my friend, I would have gone through with it.

"I'll fuck you up later." I clicked my teeth, letting him up.

Issei looked upset, but I honestly couldn't give less of a fuck about his feelings right now.

"Ara ara, don't worry, Issei. If you want to touch some breasts, mine are always available." Akeno teased. The black dress that left too much cleavage, clung to her body tightly. Her entire body was perfectly outlined by the dress and it left little to the imagination.

Issei's spirit instantly rose as his hands reached out.

"Issei, you'll lose your hands, then your eyes, then your dick. Don't test my gangster."

Issei instantly straightened up before walking into the changing room. I followed him in, and we were greeted by several maids.

The maids started dressing us immediately. I cringed when I heard the snip of scissors and felt a large weight fall off my head. I looked at the brown haired maid who was holding said scissors, then looked at the ground to see my raven locks on the ground.

"Bitch…Did you just cut my fucking hair?" I asked in genuine surprise and anger. Who gave her the fucking right.

"I apologize!" She said nervously. It looked like she was about to piss herself. "The Lord Lucifer ordered us to cut it. His exact words were, 'cut it all off, he looks like a very strong black girl.'"

I froze. Issei however didn't.

"He said you look like a girl! The man called you an Egyptian Macho Woman!"

I honestly didn't see it. My hair was shoulder length. Sure it was a bit long, but his hair is just as long! Also my face is the fucking opposite of womanly. Oh I do not like that motherfucker.

'[Then grow stronger than him. You'll find out very quickly that the strong can do what they wish to the weak. I believe this may be the lesson he is trying to teach you as well.]' Ddraig chuckled.

I sighed, looking at the maid. "Just make it look good." I didn't want to blame the poor woman who was simply doing her job. No, my anger was for the bastard that made the order. I wasn't particularly attached to my hair, but that was a dick move.

Several minutes later Issei and I emerged from the dressing room.

The ORC looked at both Issei and I and dropped their jaws. Neither of us looked the same after all. When Issei kept laughing about my hair getting cut, I took the scissors from the maid and cut his shitty ponytails off, and a good chunk of his hair.

The maid had to fix it up, so now both of us had short hair. His hair reached his mid forehead, and mine barely reached my forehead. Surprisingly I had to admit that this was a much needed change, certainly one I wouldn't complain about. Issei looked somewhat handsome, that's the first time I've ever admitted that.

I was dressed in a crimson suit to match Rias with a white undershirt, and a black bowtie. My shoes were also black, and looked like they cost a fortune, with gold embroidery and crimson laces. Issei was wearing a green suit that went well with Asia's green dress.

"Don't ask." I said quickly before anyone could say shit.

"It looks good." Yuuto nodded approvingly.

"Fuck you, Prince Charming." Issei growled as he took Asia's hand.

"No, fuck you." I said seriously. "Enjoy the party while it lasts, cause you're getting your noggin popped when it's over."

Issei shuddered and led Asia to the door.

Rias walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I did the same with her waist and pulled her close.

"It's a sudden change, but definitely a good one. No objections here." She said with a coy smile.

"I'm glad you like it, but it wasn't my idea." I admitted with a small frown. That changed when her lips pressed against mine for mere moments before she pulled away.

"We're already quite late, we must head down now." Rias held her hand out to me and I grabbed it. Akeno took her place a bit behind me to my left, Rias to my right. Yuuto and Koneko standing to Akeno's right. Issei and Asia to their right.

We made our way to the main hall. Rias and I lead her peerage as a sign of our status.

"Devils and Devilettes, please welcome Heiress Rias Gremory, Her betrothed Isamu Satoru, and her peerage." The announcer announced from inside the room. The door was opened and in we walked.

I almost dropped my jaw at the vast amount of devils in the room. All of them were wearing fancy dresses and suits that no doubt cost as much as my house. The room was perfectly decorated with the Gremory crest on every wall, bright lights illuminating the hall, and crimson and gold embroidery every inch of the room.

As we walked in, the devils clapped softly. Suddenly I felt completely out of place. All of the devils were staring at us…more specifically me. I mean this was Rias and I's party so I guess it was to be expected.

Once we reached a good distance into the hall, many of the devils went back to what they were doing while a good amount walked up to us and stopped at a distance.

Rias turned to me and gave me a concerned smile. "This is where we split up and mingle with the populace. Try to hang in there." Giving me a long kiss on the cheek, she and Akeno immediately started talking to a group of young female devils. I noticed Sona in that group and gave her a small wave. She returned it before clasping her hands together like she was praying.

…Is she praying to the fucking satans for me? Is it really that bad?

"You are quite the fighter, the fight was amazing! My name is Londres Noticias." The man held his hand out to me and I shook it. Before I could even introduce myself to him, another man was introducing himself, then another.

I looked back towards Rias. My heart dropped when I saw Issei giving me an evil smirk. Asia gave me an encouraging smile. Yuuto gave a small wave. Akeno was ufufuing, and Koneko threw me a chocolate bar.

She threw me one of her fucking snacks! The amount of pain someone has to go through for her to offer one of her precious treats told me how my night was going to go.

The women and Sona were giving small reminiscent smiles. No doubt recalling their first introduction to the underworld.

Rias gave me a nervous look, and it looked like she was about to make her way back to me, but I held out my hand. I ain't no bitch. I'll handle this and make it back to my bombshell of a girlfriend in time to actually enjoy the party!

Someone stepped in my way to introduce themself and I lost sight of my friends. The fight begins now!

Thank you for reading this chapter. It was a pretty fun write and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Rias and Isamu is an official thing, although the romance will be paced. I made a new discord server that has nobody except me and my brother in it right now. I'd appreciate it if y'all joined. I need mods and all that jazz to set it up correctly since I honestly have no idea how.
