16. Chapter 15- Rating Game

Ok guys it's been asked for so I'll give in here's the rating game chapter and it's a long one over 18000 words, that's 47 pages of a word document, so it will take you all a while, but when you get done please give me a review, I really what to know what everyone thinks of the story so far, and especially this chapter, and to all the raiser haters I hope the battle at the end is satisfying to your tastes.

BlackAceStriker: ok I am a fan of tobuscus, but that video had only 1 or 2 immortal puns and they didn't really relate to raiser

Ryujomaru15: well here you go, hope you enjoy

Guest: thanks for the recommendation, but I only have one spot left to fill, and I'm not sure if she would make a good fit.

WeeDevil: very soon I've been asked for it a few times so I re read it and I just couldn't help but post it out of excitement

Carwash36: thanks, hope you enjoy this one just as much

Grimmreaper90: am glad you're enjoying it, I hope this chapter meats your expectations =)

Ok and without further postponement, I give you the rating game, enjoy.

Twenty minutes before the rating game Kenta's POV

We were in the club room, Rias and Akeno were drinking tea. Yumi was polishing her sword. Issei and Asia were sitting on the other sofa with Asia leaning up against Isseis' shoulder.

I had told Akiko to remain in the shadows and to remain here until I returned from the game, she reluctantly agreed.

I was sitting on the floor with my family sword leaning against the wall beside me, one arm behind my head and another petting the little cutie who is currently using my lap as a pillow, Koneko is lying on my lap almost sleeping, I can't help but smile, she's just too cute, if that's even possible.

Yumi is equipped with a gauntlet on her hands and has some armour on her lower leg. She sheaths her sword.

'So she took my advice at least, a little armour is better than no armour'

Koneko is wearing gloves that allow her fingers to be seen. It's one of those gloves that martial artists wear. It looks pretty intense if a girl even if she is so cute.

Akeno and Rias are so calm it's like they are totally different people, but then waiting to fight will do that to you.

Asia loose comfortable back in her nuns habit, but I can still see she's nervous, hell so am I but not because of the games.

I spoke with my gramps apparently everyone in the village, everyone wants to watch their next head in the midst of combat and see what I've got, I made the arrangements with Sirzechs the other night, for the viewing, he seemed very surprized when I filled him in on my clan, but he was more than happy to set it up.

'so now I've got a couple thousand people watching me, great that should make things a lot less nerve racking'

Ten minutes prior to the match, the magic-circle glows and Grayfia-san appears from it.

"Is everyone ready? It's ten minutes before the match."

Everyone stands up after Grayfia-san confirms us. Grayfia-san then starts to explain about the battle.

"When it becomes the time to start the battle, you will be teleported to the battlefield through this magic-circle. The location of the place is in a different dimension used for battles. You may fight with all your power. It's a disposable space so feel free to fight to your satisfaction."

I rest my sword against my right shoulder 'I see. A battle purpose field, huh. So Devils can prepare something like that as well. perfect that means I can use a few of my bigger moves that I've been holding back without fear of damaging anything important, sweet, But leaving that aside, there's something that I'm concerned about, but Issei asks first'

"Hey, Buchou?"

"What is it?"

"Buchou, you also have another [Bishop], right? Where is that person?"

'Yes, that's what Rias told us before she reincarnated Asia. She told us she already has another [Bishop].She told me that the [Bishop] is doing another mission, but why isn't the [Bishop] here under this serious situation?'

After Issei asked the question, everyone except me, Issei and Asia acts weird. It seems like he asked something he shouldn't have. It feels like the atmosphere in this room has changed. All of them are keeping their mouth closed.

"Unfortunately, the other [Bishop] can't participate. Though there will be a time when I will talk about that in the near future."

Rias says that without making eye contact.

'Seems like there's something complicated about this matter. What could it be? I'll check it out another time, but what's so important that the [Bishop] can't appear for its Master's important match?'

I can't get rid of my suspicions. Grayfia-san then speaks under this weird atmosphere.

"This "Rating Game" battle will also be viewed by members of both households from a different location through broadcast. Maou Lucifer-Sama will also be viewing this battle. Please do not forget about it."

'Of course he will be'

"Onii-Sama is? …I see, so Onii-Sama is also going to view this battle."

'Well that just messed with Isseis head he looks completely clueless'

"U-Umm, Buchou, you just called Maou-Sama "Onii-sama"…? Did I hear wrong?"

But Yumi answers him straight away.

"No, Buchou's brother is indeed the Maou-Sama."

I smile at that. 'Hard to believe I had been drinking with a Maou all that time and I Never noticed it, till that night'

"M-Maoooooou!? Buchou's Onii-sama is Maou-Sama!?"

"Yes."

Rias confirms it straight away.

"Are you confused because Buchou's family name is different to the names of Maou-samas'?"

Yumi guesses what Issei was thinking

"Yeah, that's it."

Yumi starts to explain after he admit he's and idiot.

"In the previous Great War, the Maou-samas was in a critical condition and has passed away a long time ago. But there would be no Devils if there aren't any Maou-samas. That's why—"

'Sirzechs explained all this to me that night although I can't remember half of it, photographic memory and shots don't mix that well'

"To tell you the truth, out of the three factions of the God, the Fallen Angels and the Devils, the Devils have the least power. We are actually in a tight spot but we are still safe because the current Maou-samas has a power equal to the previous Maou-samas."

"So Buchou's brother was chosen to be a Maou from the Ultimate-class Devils then?"

Yumi nods at his question.

"Sirzechs Lucifer—who is also known as the "Crimson Satan". He is Buchou's brother and the most powerful Maou-Sama."

"…So that's why Buchou needs to inherit her household."

'It can't be helped since her brother became a Maou. Her brother has to carry the world of the Devils on his back. But yet he can find time to come drinking with me, ha what a guy'

"Oh and Kenta-Sama"

I turned to look at Grayfia

"Sirzechs-Sama asked me to inform you that your request for the extra viewing screen was able to be completed on time and also to tell you "game on""

"Ah that's perfect, pass along my thanks to him for me. Tell him ill pass along my choices after the match"

Everyone is looking at me stunned and confused by what I'm saying, and Rias seemed to realize something.

"K-Kenta, you know my Onii-sama?"

I turn and give a smile

"Yep I've known him for a while now were actually good friends"

Everyone's jaw drops at my answer and then they look to Grayfia, she nods to confirm my answer.

"B-but how?"

"Long story short, bar brawl turned friendship, turned drinking buddies, the man can hold his sake I'll give him that"

"Then the one you promised?"

"Yep, he made me promise not to kill that walking KFC when I first saw him and to help nip this unfortunate farce of a wedding in the bud once and for all"

Rias eyes went wide and then moments later she face palms herself at her brothers' actions.

"Wow Kentas' drinking buddies with a Maou of all people, man talk about a story"

I just rub the back of my head with a grin

"So what's all that business about an extra viewing screen?"

"Ah that well I'll explain that after the match, let's just say the audience we expected to have has just drastically increased"

Rias was about to press the matter further when Grayfia spoke up

"It's about time. Everyone, please head to the magic-circle."

We gather to the magic-circle after Grayfia-san urges us to.

"Also, once you get transported, you cannot use the magic-circle until the game ends."

'So we can only return here after the outcome. Well it will be a win for sure'

The magic-circle's symbol changes to another one which is not that of the Gremory's and it starts to emit lights. It's also not the symbol of the House of Phoenix. Perhaps it's the one used for the game? While I was thinking about it, the light covers us and the teleportation begins.

As the light fades I open my eyes…Huh? I tilt my head when I witness the view. Obviously. Because this place is the clubroom. Then I look at the senior peerage members, their cool and calm, from that I put two and two together, 'so the battle field is a replica of the academy, sweet'

Then—.

[Hello everyone. I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phoenix.]

'She's using the school broadcast system'

[In the name of my Master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match. By using both Rias-Sama and Raiser-Sama's opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kouh academy, which Rias-Sama attends to in the human world.]

'I have to say for a replica is very well created everything is exactly the same, from the scratches on the walls even down to the old floor boards'

I look out the windows with Issei, the sky is clouded over purple and white, 'very impressive indeed'

[The location where both teams were transported will be their "base". Rias-Sama's "base" would be the Occult Research Cub's clubroom located in the old school building. Raiser-Sama's "base" would be the Student Council's room located in the new building. For the [Pawns] to use "promotion", please head to the enemy's base to do it. All fast travel techniques are limited to a ten meter range]

'well that's a bit of a pain but I guess it's only fair, it wouldn't be fair if I just landed in the council room and started throwing out attacks all at once, So I have to reach the enemy's base by foot. Student Council room, huh. It's at the corner of the highest floor in the school building. that's a long run and I've only got ten meter bursts to work with that will leave me open if an enemy plots my movements, but Raiser's [Pawns] can promote if they get here. Unlike us, where we have two [Pawn], they have eight [Pawns]. If they all turn into [Queen], we are in deep shit! Issei and I have our work cut out for us'

"Everyone, will you all please put this transceiver in your ears."

Akeno gives everyone an earphone type transceiver.

Rias says it while putting it in her ears,

"At the battlefield, we will be using this to communicate with each other."

'Handy enough' I slip mine in

[Now it's the time for the commencement of the battle. Also, this match will continue till dawn in the human time. So, Game starts now.]

*RING RING*

The school bell rings. So this is the ring to signify the start of the match huh.

'And so it begins'

We all gather around the centre table looking at the map of the school grounds.

'At least we have the advantage, who knows the school better than its students'

"First we have to take down Raiser's [Pawns]. It will be troublesome if they all promote into [Queen]."

Rias says it while sitting on the sofa. 'She's quite confident.'

Akeno-san starts to prepare tea. 'That's a little over confident'

"B-Buchou, you seem pretty calm…"

"Ise, the battle just started. The "Rating Game" is originally a game that doesn't finish in a short time. There are times when it becomes a "blitz", but mostly it's a game that takes very long. Just like the actual chess game."

'So that how it's played? I prefer a good head to head fight but I'm good at drawn out conflicts myself, but right now I want to kick some KFC.'

"The "Rating Game" has a meaning only if you use the battlefield to the fullest. Usually the base would be a fortress, a castle or even a tower. There are forests and rivers between the two bases and we battle using those areas. This time the school is our stage."

The school map divided into grids and there are English alphabets and numbers on it.

'Oh I get it. It's broken into grid that is similar to a chessboard.'

Rias draws a circle around the old school building and the new school building with a red pen.

'the two basses, that's a lot of ground to cover, and not a lot of protection from attacks from above, we could always just take the sky route, but Asia, Issei and I don't have much practice flying, we'd be sitting ducks, and we'd still be risking a sky battle, and we'd leave our base wide open for his pawns just to waltz in and promote. I'm thinking a three pronged tactic, set up an automatic defence of the club house with traps, keeping our most valuable assets here, that would be Asia with her healing powers and Rias, if she gets taken out we lose anyway. then the rest of us split into groups for a three way assault, with Akeno watching from the sky to provide cover and support, as we make our way to the enemy base'

"There's a forest near our base. It's safe to assume that this is also our territory. In other words the new school building would be Raiser's territory. It's quite possible that there will be an ambush when you enter their territory. The school field is visible from the new school building. So it's dangerous to pass through here."

'She is right. We'd be in the open from attacks from above and they'd see us coming immediately'

"Then do we have to go through the sports ground to get to the new school building?"

Rias chuckles at Isseis question. After looking back at the map I can see why.

"That would normally be the case Issei. But the enemy will also know that. So he'll have his servant positioned at the sports ground. … my bet is he'll have his [Knight] or [Rook] positioned at one of the clubrooms located in the sports ground. A wide open space will require someone with "mobility". So he'll have one [Knight] and three [Pawns], a total of four servants positioned here. Then he'll have control of the whole sports ground. That may turn out to be troublesome"

Rias looks at me wide eyed, "T-that's right, I never knew you were such a strategist Kenta"

"It's just a guess, but given his pieces and the terrain that's what I would have done, although I would have used greater numbers to prevent casualties"

Then Yumi says her thoughts.

"Buchou, it's about the gym near the old school building. Shouldn't we occupy this location first? If we capture it here then we will have a route to the new school building. The gym is a passage to both of the buildings so we could also restrain the enemy's movements."

Rias nods at Yumi's opinion.

'Good plan'

"Yes, I also have the same opinion. First we will capture the gym. …In terms of location, the opponent may have his [Rook] positioned there. Since it's inside a building, it would be better to use the [Rook] with destructive power over [Knight] with mobility."

"I'll bet it will be a four man, or in this case woman team, a [rook] with a few [pawns], he'd keep the [bishops] and [queen] close, encase of surprize attacks, given their probable fire power, or he could have them about the map ready to launch surprize attacks, so everyone had best be on their guard, that will just leave two more [pawns] and a [rook] and [knight] to worry about"

Isseis' POV

…Wow, they started to talk about the strategy in a way that I don't understand! W-Well, I'll just follow the order! I just need to make sure that I don't cause any trouble for them.

"…Yumi, Koneko. You two set a trap in the forest. Take another map with you and make sure you mark the places where you set the trap in. I will make a copy afterwards and hand it to everyone."

"Yes."

"…Roger."

Koneko-Chan and Yumi leaves the room straight away and takes a map and a weird looking tool box with them.

"Everyone else will be on standby until they finish setting up the trap. Oh, Akeno."

"Yes."

"After Yumi and Koneko returns, can you cast illusions and mists around the forest and the sky? Obviously a trap that only reacts to Raiser's group. That's how the start of the match will be like, though it seems like this battle will become intense midway through it. So I'll leave the issue regarding the mists and the illusions to you, Akeno."

"I understand, Buchou."

"I'll keep watch for incoming from the roof, last thing we need before we're ready is a surprize attack, and with my Sharingan I'm best for lookout"

"Ok thank you Kenta"

Kenta nods and leaves for the roof. The strategy has already begun. Both Asia and I don't know what we are supposed to do.

"U-Umm, Buchou? What am I supposed to do?"

'I think it's bad if I don't do anything. I want to do something!'

"Yes. Ise, you are a [Pawn] so you have to use "promotion"."

"Yes!"

I reply to her energetically. Buchou waves her hand towards me. Hmm? What is it?

"Sit here."

I sit next to Buchou because she told me to. She then points at her lap.

"Lay down here."

The legendary "lap pillow"!? THANK YOU MAOU!

I-I can really…use that white legs of yours…am I really allowed to do it!?

"I-I will be in your care!"

I unconsciously bow my head to Buchou politely.

Gulp… I start to put my head on Buchou's lap slowly while gulping down my saliva.

TOUCH.

I can feel a really soft sensation on my cheek. Ooooooooh! Why are you so soft, Buchou!? My head is about to explode because I'm having lots of physical contacts with Buchou! Her actions towards me are too great for someone like me who am going through that age!

I want to grind my cheek on her lap, but I think my heart will stop!

"Uuuu."

I have tears on my eyes without even noticing it.

Lap pillow. Out of all the things I want to get done by a girl, it's definitely among the "Top 10". And right now it became a reality… I can't stop the tears that are falling from my. Man, what am I doing in the middle of an important match? But a perverted student like me who has no luck with girls is getting this sweet treatment. Oh, mum and dad, thanks for giving birth to me!

Buchou sighs while looking at me.

"Geez. Why are you crying?"

"Sob, getting a "lap pillow" from Buchou, I'm so moved that the tears won't stop. I will never forget this sensation. Sob, I'm happy that I was born."

'I'm so happy'

"Oh come on Issei grow a pair will ya!"

I look up to the ceiling as I hear Kenta's voice through my ear piece

"It's just a lap pillow, are you that much of a virgin that you start weeping at just touching skin"

"K-Kenta, how do you know what we're doing, you're on the roof"

"Mature Sharingan remember, I can see you both through the roof and the floor above. No sign of enemy movement in our area Rias, they're all just moving through the school building for now"

"Thank you Kenta, come on back inside"

"Roger"

Ah! Asia is looking at me with teary eyes! And she is making a weird face. Huh? Is she angry? Why? She looks very unpleasant…

TOUCH.

Buchou then puts her hand on my forehead.

"…I unlocked a small portion of the seal that I had cast on you."

"Huh? Seal?"

The moment I say out the doubt I had, there is a big change in my body.

*Heartbeat!*

At the same time, I can feel a power growing within me. What is this? Amazing, it feels different than the power up that I get from my Boosted Gear. If that is a power I receive from elsewhere, then this power up is coming from within me and it feels comfortable. What is this—? Buchou then says it my ear while I find it suspicious.

"Do you remember? The talk about where I used four pieces of [Pawns] to reincarnate you and Kenta?"

"Yes."

"At that time, your strength as a Devil was low so I had to put a limit on your power as a [Pawn]. You, who just reincarnated from human, didn't have a body that could endure the power of four pieces of [Pawn]. To put it simply, you needed to attain more power or else your body would break. So I just unsealed a bit of the seal."

Unsealing it—. Then this power that is flowing within my body is my natural power.

"That training was meant to have you cope with the power of Boosted Gear and the [Pawn]. Though there are areas you still lack in."

So there was actually a meaning to that harsh training! I'm glad that I went through that training by training hard!

Then Kenta appears back in the room through the door.

Kenta POV

"I don't like this restriction, walking everywhere is a pain, static is much faster" I wine 'if I find out who put this restriction on this game I may just have to give them an ass kicking as bad as the KFC when I'm done with him'

"Ah Kenta perfect timing, come here and ill unseal you also"

"When did you seal me in the first place?"

"When you were first turned, I was afraid your bodies couldn't handle all that power so it was for your own protection"

"So what you're telling me is that, you've had both me and Issei sealed all this time"

"Yes, for your own protection, I was afraid you couldn't handle all the power"

"I understand your reasoning, just a little curious as to why you haven't unsealed me sooner, I mean I was already stronger that Issei so why keep me sealed, that's like having a sports car and not letting it go above thirty, a waste of something good"

"I didn't want to unseal you until I was sure you were both ready"

"Fine just hurry up and unseal me, just one piece though don't want to make Issei look to bad"

Rias smiles as she reaches up on her tip toes (I'm a good five inches taller than her) and she kisses my forehead.

I blink a few times.

"Whaaaaaaaaa….. Why did you kiss him?"

Issei yells as Rias looks at me with a light blush

"Yea why did yo…"

Suddenly my eyes went wide as I felt it, this mass surge of power rush through my body, the sensation made the hairs on the back of my neck rise and my muscles to tighten, as I felt ever muscle and joint in by body clench before releasing almost instantaneously, in the moments that followed everything was so much more intense, like I had finally woken up from a really long dream, I could feel everything, like a massive weight had been lifted off my back and I could move freely.

"Wow"

I stretched out my arms, and put my head back as every joint in my body popped at my movements, I circled my elbows and a massive grin filled my face.

"Dam that felt good, it's like waking up after a really long nap, everything is so much brighter now"

"Strange it didn't feel that strong to me"

"it must have been one of the mutation pieces Rias unlocked, this power feels incredible, and that was only one, I can't wait to feel what all four feel like, talk about an all-time high, I want to try my new found strength out now, I can't wait to see what boost my powers have gotten"

Rias smiles at my resolves

"Listen up. You two have to beat your opponent even if they are girls, okay? You can't hold back. They won't hold back against you."

"Y-Yes, I understand!"

"I wasn't planning on holding back, I may have before but that's because it wasn't necessary.

"Once you both use "promotion" to change into [Queen]. The battle will change if you promote into the [Queen] that possess the strongest power."

"But it feels weird for me, who am a guy, to turn into a [Queen]."

"It may be a little weird if we both go with queen then its two queens running around, that sounds wrong in so many ways

Rias makes a small laugh at my pun.

"It's just a name for a role in chess, so you don't have to think too deeply about it. We are already at a disadvantage by having fewer members than Raiser. So you have to prepare yourself to work over the limit. If we lose even a single person, our situation will get even harder."

'she's right, we've got to be careful at least until we've worn down their numbers with Raiser being practically immortal, that will make things even harder, we need to conserve our strength since none of us can use a god level attack to take him out, we're left with only one option, pound him till he can't get up. I've come up with a few ways to do this, but our two best bets are me and Issei, if I can't do it then it's up to Issei, if he can just boost enough with his sacred gear he should be able to take out Raiser with one good shot, but it's all about who gets to Raiser first, and then theirs Isseis main problem, his gear takes time, could he survive that long to boost enough to take Raiser out'

"Buchou! I will definitely make you win!"

Issei practically shouted that, 'dam he really means that, that's Issei for you, loyal to a fault'

Rias smiles after hearing that.

"Yes, I will be relying on you. My adorable, Ise."

'Dam right Issei, there's no way in hell that we're letting that bargain bucket walk away with Rias'

Outside Isseis POV

"Alright!"

I raise my spirit in front of the old school building.

Next to me is Koneko-Chan and Kenta. My partners for the next stage of the plan.

Flashback a few moments ago

"Okay then, Ise, Koneko, and Kenta. You won't be able to avoid the battle once you get into the gym. Move accordingly like we discussed. That location will be an important place."

Buchou sent us off at the entrance. Koneko-Chan nods at Buchou. Kenta just gives a wave as he walks away with a grin on his face. 'He just wants to see how much stronger he is.'

"Yes, I will."

Our target is the gym. We need to win the battle that will be awaits us. The ones that will be heading there is me and Koneko-chan. We are not allowed to fail. Yeah, we can't lose. I can't retire without even using "promotion"!

"Then I will be going as well."

Yumi is getting ready to go by placing her sword to her hip.

"Yumi, move accordingly like we discussed."

"Roger that."

"Asia will be on standby with me. But we will be going after we get a signal from Ise and the others. You definitely cannot be taken down. It will be over if we lose our healer."

"Y-Yes!"

Asia also replies energetically even though she is nervous.

Asia's ability to heal is our lifeline. Because of that ability of hers, we are capable of doing things that is a bit recklessly for our strategy.

Our winning factor is to protect Buchou who is our [King] and also Asia.

"Akeno, I trust you to move when you think it's the right time."

"Yes, Buchou."

The strongest servant, Akeno-san. According to Buchou, the outcome will be decided with her move, Kenta seems to dispute her being classed as the top servant, but hasn't challenged it just yet.

"Now then, my adorable servants. Are you ready? We can't turn back now. Our enemy is Raiser, who is said to be a genius from the immortal House of the Phoenix with a promised career. Now then! Let's go and blow them away!"

[Yes!]

All of us replies together and heads off!

We leave the school building and ready ourselves for battle

"Ise-san! Everyone! Please do your best!"

I can hear Asia cheering for us from behind. We raise our hand and wave at her.

Now, there's no more turning back Hyoudou Issei! I will have to be resolved and move straight ahead!

Flash back end

We run towards the gym. During our way towards the gym, Yumi leaves us to head to a different direction. It's in our plan for Yumi to leave us at a certain point. And head for the woods

"Then I will be waiting for you ahead!"

"Yeah, you just do that!"

We split up after saying our good byes. She will do his job, and we will do ours!

I went towards the gym along with Koneko-Chan and Kenta.

Since the main entrance is connected to the new school building, we can't enter from there. That's because our intrusion will be caught by them.

We need to go in from the other door located on the opposite side of the gym. We went there and turn the door knob. Its open strange it's not locked.

But this gym, even the appearance of it looks like the actual thing. It's the same with the old school building where it looks like the real thing. I will believe it if they tell me afterwards that "the stage took place at the real Kouh academy".

We come into the back platform from the back door. Since the curtain isn't down, the inside is visible.

I try to look at the court from the corner of the platform, but then Koneko-Chan mutters.

"…Presence. Enemy."

—! Even before I can get shocked at hearing that, a loud voice echoes within the gymnasium.

"We know you are there, servants of Gremory! We watched you coming inside."

Kenta's POV

'The voice of a woman. Raiser's servants! So they saw us coming inside! Then there is no need for us to hide ourselves"

Koneko-Chan and I show ourselves to them by appearing at the platform boldly. Issei looks at us and then follows our lead there are four female Devils standing at the court. The woman with a china dress, the twins and also there is the loli girl who I knocked out with my Sharingan. 'Is she giving me the evil eye?'

Yep she's leering at me, 'what did I do to her to piss her off'

If I remember right, the woman with the china dress is the [Rook]. The twins are the [Pawns]. And the small girl is also a [Pawn]. I know it because we were explained about the enemies while having the photo of them shown to us at the clubroom before we came here. 'Looks like my guess on piece locations was spot on, as expected. Three [Pawns] and one [Rook]… We are also two [Pawns] and a [Rook], though they have numbers on their side, we have more than enough power to handle them. Though due to our plan, we can't avoid this battle.'

"Let's get this started shall we"

"Boosted Gear, standby."

[Boost!]

"Tempest Gear!"

Both mine and Isseis arms glowed as our sacred gears formed on our arms

'You ready'

{Do you even have to ask?}

'I really should know by now' I drew my sword and readied to attack.

"…I will leave the [Pawns] to you and Issei-Senpai. I will take care of the [Rook]."

"Not a problem"

"Yeah!"

We stood in front of our opponents. I had a big smile on my face. 'better hold back on this fight I know I said I wouldn't but I need to keep my energy for Raiser and these girls won't take much'

Koneko and the other [rook] started walking over to the other end of the gym giving everyone their space.

"Hey Issei, you take the twins, something tells me this one wants to have me all to herself"

This girl just keeps glaring at me as I speak, I can feel major killing intent coming off her. Boy she is pissed

"Sure think Kenta" Issei and the twins move into the centre of the gym while my opponent and I stay put.

The two of us just looked at each other, well I looked. She glared. A few moments later I heard noises from behind us, I turned to look

"Ahhhhhhhhh, Kenta, help!"

DRILL! DRRRRRRRRRILL!

Wow! Are you serious!? Girls aren't allowed to carry dangerous things like that!

The two twins were chasing Issei while swinging a pair of chainsaws overhead so that's what was in those bags of theirs

"Disassembling time "

Both of the twins say that happily!

'To say that in such a cute an happy way, talk about funny'

"Kenta help!"

"Just hold on a bit longer Issei, I'll wrap this one up quickly and then be right over'

"DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME!"

I turned to see this girl coming at me with her staff, I smiled and dodged her attack, again and again, I could just go static and let her pass through me, but I need to preserve my magic for the fight against Raiser

BANG! BANG!

Koneko and the china dress woman have already begun their fight. It looks like a martial arts match because of all the punches they are throwing at each other! Each hit looks powerful since both of them are [Rooks]. I think Koneko is at an advantage because of her small build, which allows her to move more freely. But the china dress woman is also moving swiftly while doing tricky attacks.

SWISH!

The [Pawn] girl spins the stick professionally while making a sound. I do a matrix and dodge the swing before jumping back to give some room.

"So if my memory serves your name is Mira correct"

"Haaaaaa"

She swings her at me again, I block it with the spine of my sword.

"So care to tell me what I have done to earn such a cold shoulder from such a nice girl"

She continues to swing at me and I keep blocking them with my sword.

"DON'T LOOK DOWN ON MEEEEE!"

She swung her stick round and sent my sword high into the air, lodging it into the roof and then brought her stick down trying to hit me from above, I intercepted it with my now free armoured hand. She tried to break out of my grip but I tightened it and brought to my eye level.

"I think I'm starting to get the picture here, your peeved off that I beat you so easily in our first little scuffle aren't you"

"DAM RIGHT YOU COCKY BASTARD!"

"Ok first off, I'm not a bastard and I have a name its Kenta Maki encase you wondering, and secondly, I don't recall that I even laid a finger on you in that fight, I had no reason to so why are you so angry again"

"Because you humiliated me in front of the entire peerage, I was already considered the weakest in the group and because of that incident I had to train twice as hard as everyone else"

"well I'm sorry for that, I didn't want to hurt you, as you were just following orders to attack at the time, I couldn't just let my team mate get hurt now could I"

"So your defence for humiliating me is that you were defending your friend and that you're really a nice guy"

"That and I don't like hurting cute girls"

She blushed at my complement, 'cant girls just take a complement'

"Kenta will you stop flirting with the enemy and give me a hand, before I become mince meet over here"

"Why won't you just hold still?"

I glance over and see Issei hopping over the twins attacks

"Be with you in a second Issei"

I activated my Sharingan and Mira gasped but was soon silenced as I pulled her into a trance

Mira's Mind

The two of us stood in a black space filled with nothing we just hovered.

"Where, where are we?"

"Your mind"

She turned to see me my Sharingan active

"Your eyes, what are they"

"they're called Sharingan, and one of their tricks is this allowing me to pull people into little illusions like this, we can talk freely here, and as long as we want my illusion isn't based on real world time we can talk for hours and then snap back to exactly where we left off"

"That's incredible, so that's how you put me to sleep before"

"Yep all it took was a glance, and you're out"

"So what now?"

"Well usually in a situation like this id have you bound and id be completely destroying you mentally by torturing you here"

She shivered at the coldness of my words.

"But I'm not going to do that"

"W-why not, am I not worth your time is that it, am I not even worth the time it would take for you to beat!"

"No, I'm not going to harm you because I have no reason to"

"Are you looking down on me again?"

"No, if anything I admire strong women like you, you've got a spark to you"

She blushed again "a-a spark"

"Yes, and it's because of that spark that I want to make you an offer"

"An offer?"

"I assume your master informed you about a little wager that he accepted with Maou-Lucifer-Sama before the match"

Flash back bar authors POV

"Well everything has been settled, your clan will be able to watch your match now, I'm still shocked you're your from that clan, I knew of a clan that size but I never would have guessed you were the next head"

"You and me both, care for a drink there's a proposal I want to put to you"

"A proposal?"

"More of a friendly wager, on your sisters rating game"

"You mean the one I asked you to help my sister win"

"That's the one, I'm wanting you to help set up a wager with the phoenix family, about the game, I assume your friendly with the head of the family"

"Yes id be able to do that, what's the wager?"

"on the outcome of the game, if Rias wins, I get to name one servant in Raiser peerage and that one is released to my care for my peerage when the time comes that I obtain one,"

"And if you should lose"

"That 'after' the wedding, I won't lift a finger to Raiser and that I will follow his every order without question, no matter how degrading, id imagine he'd like that"

"So your backing out of your promise to help me end this engagement!?"

"No, the bet is "AFTER" the wedding, I make no promises about before"

"That's very tricky of you, I'll make sure to word it exactly like that"

Flash back end

"So you're the one who made that bet with my master"

"Yep, and I'd like to offer that slot to you"

"M-me"

"Yep, I've seen it in you from the very beginning, you're strong, and very beautiful, and I can tell by the way that you fight and how you follow Raisers every order that you're also very loyal"

She blushed deeply at my complements

"But I can also see that Raiser doesn't see it, and that he treats everyone in his peerage like objects, he doesn't deserve someone as loyal as you"

"It would appear I have miss judged you, forgive my actions from before."

"So does that mean you accept my offer?"

She chuckles at my question

"If you can beat me after this sure, but you'll still have to beat my master, are you sure you're up for that, he is a phoenix after all he can't die"

"Oh don't you worry about that, I won't lose to that chicken, so shall we wrap this up"

"Yes lets"

Back in reality

We both blinked a few times and I release my Sharingan, and her staff, Mira then turned and took ten paces back, before turning on her heels and taking a stance.

I tightened my fist as the wind blew the doors open and swirled around me, the wind was so strong that it knocked my sword loose, it fell as I raise my hand and caught its grip as I held it high.

The ends of Miras' staff caught fire and she smiled at me.

Everyone had stopped fighting and was watching us both, I smiled. 'It would seem we're the centre of attention'

The wind swirled around me as Mira lunged for me trying to incinerate me. I smiled as she came at me, my wind caught her staff and blew out her flames.

"Impossible"

"Nothing is impossible"

I parried her strike with my blade as it flew past me I brought my blade down hard, cutting the staff in half, her eyes went wide. But then I thrust my elbow into her gut, the wind moved with it and caught he and hurdled her into the far side of the gym, I then disappeared into static and appeared in front of her with my blade in front of her face. When she opened her eyes she was staring at the tip of my sword.

"You have lost resign. I'd rather not harm my beautiful future pawn further" I whispered that last part

She sighed at her loss but then blushed at hearing me call her beautiful. "I resign"

She then disappeared into a blue light and seconds later

[Confirmed Raiser phoenix-Sama, one pawn resigned]

'Well that's one down of a possible fifteen'

I then turn to see how Issei is going he's still dodging swings

"Come on Issei, are you going to be finished sometime this week"

Then he suddenly stops running, that's when I see it, a very perverted look in his eye. 'Oh no he wouldn't, my whole clan is watching'

Isseis POV

"Let's do it, my Sacred Gear!"

[Explosion!]

I will fight them in this state! My whole body is getting overflowed with power! A powered-up state for a temporarily time! I won't waste it even for a bit!

"I will take care of you two with my finishing move!"

I run towards one of the twins. Fast! It may be weird coming from me but that's a good dash!

The opponents can't react to my movements for a slight moment. She swings her chainsaw after she realises the situation she is in, but my fist has already reached her!

BANG!

One of the twin [Pawns] went flying with my hit.

"You! How dare you hit my Onee-Chan!"

The little sister of the girl I just hit aims her chainsaw towards me, but I twist my body and hit the girl! The younger sister of the chainsaw twin falls down to the floor.

I land just as their getting up

"Geez! If we lose to a guy like him, Raiser-Sama will get mad at us!"

One of the chainsaw girls fixes her position and makes a negative comment.

"We will definitely dissemble you into pieces!"

The twin turns on their chainsaws once again.

"Fufufu, you won't be able to act in such way any longer. I already accomplished the necessary conditions for activating my ultimate technique."

"Take this! My new ultimate technique! Dress Break!"

Click! At the same time I click my fingers, the chainsaw twins clothes gets blown away.

'Yes, even their underclothes are blown to pieces! The white curvy bodies of the girls are exposed right in front of me.'

'Wow, both of them still need some growth, but this is also wonderful in its own way!'

Bubah! Lots of blood bursts out of my nose while I make a laugh loudly.

"N-Noooooooooooooooooo!"

Their scream echoes within the gym. Both of them ducks down to the floor and are trying to hide their private parts.

"Ahahahahaha! How's that!? This is my technique! And the name of it is "Dress Break"! I just kept on imaging the girl's clothing getting blown away into pieces! I spent all of the talent I have in making a technique that will make all of the girls naked!"

Yes, you can say I spent all of my talent I have in using my demonic-power for this reason! I don't have talent at using demonic-power in the first place. So I just turned what I'm good at imagining into reality by using up all of the talent I have.

This was all for this scenery I am seeing! Hahaha! Look, I stripped down the girls naked!

Peeling all those vegetables with my mind actually paid off, because now all I have to do is touch a girl once then with a click its skin city.

"You are the worst! You are the enemy of every woman!"

"Beast! You sex fiend!"

The chainsaw twins starts to bad mouth me while having tears in their eyes. I will gladly accept those words.

"...I misjudged you."

STAB. Koneko-Chan's muttering I heard from far away impales my heart. I look to Kenta.

He looks really sad, 'what's up with him, I thought he would enjoy seeing some skin'

Kenta's POV

'that idiot, I'm never going to be able to live this down, being in the same room with such a pervert is going to destroy all my credibility with my clan, I've got to do something quick'

That's when I spot one of the demonic recording circles, that watching the fighting in the gym. 'Perfect'

I then turn to it and bow

"I'd like to apologies to everyone who just witnessed my comrade's perversions, I'm sorry for his actions, although he is a pervert he means well, it's just his perverted side take hold some times"

It is then my ear piece popped

[Ise, Koneko. Can you hear me? It's me.]

Rias's voice. It seems like Koneko and Issei are also hearing it.

"Yes! Both Koneko, Issei and I are safe! More like we are doing well right now!"

[That's good to hear. But Akenos' preparation is also completed! I want you three to move accordingly with the plan!]

I nod after exchanging a glance with Koneko and Issei

DASH!

We make a break for the central entrance while ignoring the girls who are down on the floor.

"Are you running away!? This location is supposed to be a crucial place!"

Raiser's servants become shocked by our actions.

'Yeah, you are right. This certainly is a crucial place. A location that connects the old school building with the new school building. In chess, it will be the "centre". It's apparently very important. That's why both sides came here! To obtain this place! That's why there is a meaning to this! To make this place as our decoy!'

We make it out just in time as we do.

FLASH!

An instant flash. Then—.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A huge lightning falls down onto the gym with a sound.

When the lightning stops, the gym that is supposed to be in front of us gets wiped out.

"Ara Ara."

Akeno-san's voice.

When I turn around, I can see Akeno-san with a smiley face that is flying through the air with her black wings spread. She has her right hand raised upwards. And her hand is sparkling with electricity.

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama's three [Pawns] and one [Rook] retires!]

Grayfia's voice who is the arbiter echoes through the battlefield.

'Wait, so with that attack just now, the enemies Koneko and Issei were fighting got defeated!? Are you serious!? With that one attack!? Oh yeah, I heard this from Yumi before. Her nickname is the priestess of lightning, well it's certainly well deserved. Her lightning is indeed very powerful'

{Something tell me yours is stronger now}

'Won't know for sure until I've tried it, hopefully it is at least on par, P-Priestess of lightning… That's terrifying. Even I might die if I get punished with that attack! Yup, I will make sure I don't make Akeno angry. If we do ever have that fun session, that attack is definitely a big no-no.'

Issei is celebrating the small victory

"We did it, Koneko-chan."

He try to put his hand on her shoulder, but she avoids him.

"…Please don't touch me…"

She says that with a scorn voice and she's glaring at him, 'I can understand why. Well, it can't be helped for any girl to be alarmed at him if they saw a technique like that. It's absolutely perverse, good thing I got my future pawn out of there before he used it on her, that's one she owes me'

"Hahaha, don't worry. I won't use it on my comrades."

"…Even so, it is a very low technique."

"…absolutely perverted."

Oh my. Looks like she hates him for real now…

[Everyone, can you hear me? Akeno did a perfect attack and finished it. With this, the first phase of our plan is completed.]

I can hear Rias's voice from the transceiver I have in my ears. She sounds really was an excellent plan and its execution was flawless.

Rias's plan.

That is to destroy the gymnasium that was thought to be a crucial point. Also destroying it along with Raiser's servants.

We went through the back door of the gym to enter, but we did this act while knowing that the enemies were watching us. We needed to have them battle us by making the opponent come into the gym as well. We simply needed to flee after we fight them for a certain time.

After that, Akeno was to destroy the gym with her lightning from the sky.

We were a bait to make the enemy come inside the cage. Then we, the bait, left the cage and destroyed it along with the prey.

Buchou's plan has succeeded! To throw aside the important location and use it to attack is something to be reckoned with! Defeating one [Rook] and three [Pawns] was a big plus! We still haven't lost any of our members, so we started off with a good start!

'A perfect decoy and bomb, it seems I'm rubbing off on my king.'

[That lightning takes time to charge it to use for the second time after she uses it. So using it continuously is impossible. Though the enemy still has a greater number than us. We will also head out as soon as Akenos' demonic-power recovers, so I will leave the rest to each of you till then. So please move on to the next phase!]

"Yes!"

"Ok let's regroup with Yumi, she should be almost done with her part of the mission"

We all nod in agreement, but then

It happened.

BANG!

A sudden explosive sound is made it sends me and Issei flying. When I look at where the sound came from—.

"…K-Koneko!"

Koneko-Chan is lying on the floor a bit away from me while smokes arise from her. I went to her quickly and hold her! Issei rushes to our side.

Konekos' uniform is torn as if she was dragged into a bomb. There are parts of her uniform that are gone. Don't tell me that explosive sound before is…

"Boom."

An unknown voice. When I look up, there is a shadow up in the air flying with its wings spread. It's a woman dressed up as a mage and wearing her hood. Raiser's [Queen]! The sudden appearance of the strongest servant! So she did this to Koneko

"Fufufu. When you hunt a prey, the best time to take them down is when the prey accomplished something because that's the time when the prey is the most vulnerable. It's enough for us to "sacrifice" many of our pieces in order to take down one of you. Your group has a small number of members to begin with. That alone will be enough to give a huge damage to your group, right? Even if you defeat us, you cannot defeat Raiser-Sama. It's useless to resist."

The [Queen] laughs as if she finds it amusing.

"…Ise-Senpai… Akeno-Senpai…Kenta-Senpai…"

Koneko-Chan speaks with a voice that is about to disappear.

"…I'm sorry …I wanted to be of more use to Buchou and everyone…"

"Y-You don't have to apologise! We were doing our job! It's not a problem! Just wait, once Asia arrives, she can heal you—"

"Don't speak Koneko, you need to conserve your energy,

Koneko-Chan's body gets enveloped with light. The body starts to fade and then it disappears from here.

…

[Rias Gremory-Sama's [Rook] retries.]

That announcement stung.

Rias explained it to us before. When we take a certain amount of damage and get into a condition where we can no longer fight, we retire and get teleported out of the battlefield by force. The destination is a place with medical equipment. That's why it's alright even if we're hurt badly. It's not like we will die. So Raiser's servants that Akeno-san defeated and Koneko-Chan were teleported there. Same for those who resign. Even though I know that in my head. This is a match. But still I…I! I can feel the weight disappear from my arms. …Damn it. Damn it!

'Dam it Koneko, I swear I'm going to buy you a whole mountain of sweats after this, and then pet you until your heart's content, you deserve it after fighting so well'

Isseis body shakes with anger.

"Come down heeeeeere! I'll be your opponent!"

'He really needs to learn some tact, though his heart is in the right place'

Koneko-Chan was crying just before she disappeared. She was crying because of regrets! Dam it

My eyes go wide as sparks start pouring out of my body, I'm pissed and I'm about to raise hell.

'She was still able to fight! Shit! If I had realised it much earlier, I may have been able to save Koneko-Chan! I was getting ahead of myself because the first plan succeeded! I let it go to my head. I'm sorry I didn't help you Koneko, but I'm going to beat this bitch for you.

"Fufufu. What a noisy [Pawn] boy. Do you want to explode like that girl from before?"

The mage aims her hands towards Issei! But then

"Ara Ara. I will be your opponent. Raiser Phoenix-Sama's [Queen], Yubelluna-san. Or should I call you the "Bomb Queen"?"

Akeno-san comes between us as if she is trying to protect Issei.

"I don't like that name because of its bad taste, "Priestess of Lightning". Though I was hoping I can fight you."

"NO!"

I shoved my sword into the ground and extended my wings before taking into the sky.

"I will be your opponent"

"Oh you want to die little boy because I'm not holding back"

"Kenta, let me…"

"no, she's' mine, it's my fault I wasn't watching Koneko, she was exhausted from her fight earlier, I should have got her right to Asia, for healing but I didn't see her get hurt I should have been paying closer attention to her, it's my fault and so it's my responsibility to see the one who hurt Koneko pays for their mistake"

"Oh my, such big words from a small boy, do you have the muscle to back such a claim up"

"Why don't you come and find out first hand you, BOMB BITCH"

Her eyes went wide with rage at my words, "why you insolent little brat"

She threw something at me out of a magic circle it was small and cloaked but my Sharingan picked up on it, I brought my hand up as a blade of wind cut the item in half, and then it sped past me for a few meters before blowing up

Her eyes went wide at my attack and how I easily deflected and made her attack useless.

"is that all you got, I see right through you trick, a simple bomb bag with a cloaking spell attached to make it impossible to see, and then you launch it out of your magic circle at whatever target you want, talk about a cheesy trick, no wonder your nickname sucks"

"How dare you!"

She fires multiple other shots at me, but my wind slices through them one by one as the fall and explode on what remains of the gym.

"now it's time for you to pay for your mistake" lightning starts flooding my fist and my Sharingan disappears only for lightning to spark in my eyes, "no one harms a friend of mine and gets away, without suffering my wrath"

Her eyes went wide at my actions, I slowly backed up, "Akeno, Issei. You two may want to clear away, this bitch is about to fry"

On my words they both cleared the area about twenty meters or so and they took cover from what they didn't know.

Authors POV

The bomb queen sensed trouble and took off for her life, whatever Kenta was planning she didn't want to be the target of it, 'how could he be a pawn, his strength is on par with five queens, and he couldn't have promoted, even that wouldn't give this kind of power

"Where do you think you're going?"

Kenta sped after the bomb queen as she flew away, her mistake.

Kenta drew back his fist as he got closer, his entire body pulsing like living lightning as he caught up with the doomed queen

She turned only to see him come at her, and then the excruciating pain of his fist connecting with her gut for one a second and then he passed through her and shot ahead of her.

"Kaminari sutorēto" (Lightning straight)

A millisecond after Kenta passed through the queen and shot ahead of her, a massive bolt of lightning hit her from above engulfing her entire body, the lightning roar was so loud you couldn't even hear her scream, but after a few seconds of the attack, she was engulfed in another light before vanishing, after the attack had ended. The announcement rang through

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama's [Queen] retired]

"That was for Koneko Bitch!"

Issei's POV

'Wow, did I just see that, Kenta just completely and utterly obliterated Raiser's queen in one hit. And it was massive, I don't even think Akeno could pull that kind of attack off.'

I watch as Kenta slowly floats to the ground, before, dropping to his knee.

""Kenta!""

Both me and Akeno rush over to him, he was panting heavily

"Kenta dude you alright"

"Yea Issei I'm find just a little drained"

"That attack was bad ass dude, and it took her out in one hit"

{I'll say, looks like those six months' worth of mental training you put in to perfect that move paid off, at least you don't faint now after one shot}

"Yea, those ten days of stamina building really saved my ass, but I think I blew it all on that last shot"

"Looks like it's up to the rest of us to take on Raiser, you just sit back and relax"

"Tsh, not on your life"

He flashes a small vial of something

"Fufufufu, now where did you get that Kenta?"

"What? What is it?"

I'm completely clueless here.

"I swiped it from that bomb bitch before I fried her, hey she isn't going to need it"

"Argh would someone please explain"

"Their phoenix tears dumb ass"

"Phoenix tears?"

"Yea they're better than Asia's, twilight healing, they heal body, magic and stamina" he says as he pops the vial before downing the content, his entire body glows before he stands up straight and rotates his neck "and they work twice as fast"

"Wow, handy thing to grab"

"Lucky for you she had a vial

"Yea I spotted one on her with my Sharingan before I attacked, good thing I grabbed it or you guys would have got your butts kicked without me here to back you all up when it comes to Raiser"

Kenta's POV

"Well that sure turned out well, that's five down already, and were not even an hour into the game"

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama's three [Pawns] retires.]

'Dam looks like Yumi's going to work'

"That's even better. ok Akeno, you should report back to Rias about what's happened there's still half a peerage out there to deal with, give Rias some support encase they come for her, me and Issei will continue like planned and meet up with Yumi while pushing through to the enemy base to promote"

"Ok you two be careful"

Akeno says as she takes to the sky and flies back to the club house

I turn to Issei, "let's go"

"Right"

We take of running in the usual direction, until I spot Yumi in the bushes and we sneak around to meet her.

Yumi is observing the sports court from behind the storage room which is a blind spot from the court.

"Hey how's it looking?"

"Not good, they've got numbers, are you two ok I heard the announcement as well. Koneko must be feeling regrets. I never knew what she was always thinking about, but she was really pumped for this match. She was working hard when we were setting the traps in the forest."

"Yea, but I made sure that bitch paid for hurting her"

"It was you that took down the queen?"

I nod as a response

"Let's win this for Koneko, for Rias and just for the sake for kicking that bastards arse"

We hit our knuckles together and nod with grins on our faces, we've got this

"Also, was it you who defeated the enemy [Pawns]?"

Yumi nods at Isseis question.

"Yeah. The clubroom located at the sports court is an important location. So it's natural that there are lots of enemies. I somehow managed to lure the [Pawns] that were keeping their eyes over there and took them down. But the person in charge of this location is quite calm and hasn't responded to my provocation. Well, it seems like she used the [Pawns] to watch my attacks. Seems like Raiser Phoenix likes to battle by sacrificing his servants. It's something only he is able to pull off because of his immortality and the number of servants he has."

Yumi is smiling, but his eyes aren't.

"Nicely done, what enemies are left" I flash my Sharingan to look

"The enemies who are in charge of here are one [Knight], one [Rook], and one [Bishop]. Three pieces in total."

"…That's a severe defence."

I can see them all moving, this isn't going to be easy

"Well, that's how much they are keeping up their guard for this place. Against our intrusion here, that is. Since we eliminated the gym, they will put more strength here."

The two routes that were seen as a path to the bases. The route from the gym and the route from the sports court that is behind the new school building. Rias chose to destroy one path, so the only place they need to guard is this sports court. So it will be natural for them to increase the strength here. Well, because of our plan earlier, it resulted in their [Queen] coming to the front lines… and then I took her out, 'that wasn't part of the plan but I improvised.'

"Are you nervous?"

Yumi asks Issei with a smile. It makes his face red. 'Wuss'

"O-Of course! I basically have no battle experience! And now I'm here in an actual battle. I would be a grunt compared to you who is full of battle experience."

'True he has a powerful Boosted Gear. But that's enough for him to be a threat. But the gear is only as useful as the wielder, which he's still a newbie in terms of battle. It's like a waste of treasure. But still, he want to fight for Rias and the rest of us. That's Issei completely always there when you need him, even if he is a weakling on this battlefield, he's our weakling'

"Look."

Yumi shows us her hand, shaking.

"So I'm not the only one"

I hold out mine it's just as bad. 'No matter how many time I fight in my head, the nerves till get to me, it's just my inexperience but, it will pass in time.'

"Ise, you said I have a lot of battle experience. That's certainly true. But it's my first time participating in the Rating Game. A serious battle between Devils. Even if this match is a special case, it doesn't change the fact that it's a serious fight. We get involved in Devils fights, whether we like it or not. And this is our first game. We can't show them even a slight opening in our guard. This is a match where we have to give it all we got as Buchou's servant Devils. It's something that will be important even in the future. I feel delighted and also scared. I don't want to forget the feeling of my hands' shaking. This feeling of being nervous, this intense atmosphere, I want to feel everything and turn it into my experience. Let's become stronger together, Ise."

'oh great looks like the "Ise" is spreading, but she's right we're all in our first rating game, regardless of how long we've been devils, we're all newbies here'

Then we hear a loud voice of a brave woman.

"I'm the [Knight] of Raiser Phoenix-Sama, Carlamaine! I've become bored of trying to sniff through each other's strategy! Rias Gremory's [Knight]! I challenge you to a duel!"

At the baseball court. There is a woman cladded in armour who is standing at the centre of it daringly.

'What a bold female [Knight]! She can't complain if someone shoots her from the back!'

"Fu." Yumi who is standing next to me laughs.

"Since she introduced herself, I can't hide myself both as a [Knight] and as a swordsman."

After she mutters that out, she leaves from behind the storage room. She then walks straight to the baseball court.

"That idiot."

Even though I'm complaining, we also follow after Yumi by heading there from the front. 'Even idiots need back up'

"I'm the [Knight] of Rias Gremory, Kiba Yumi."

"I'm A [Pawn], Hyoudou Issei!"

"I'm A [Pawn], Maki Kenta!"

We named ourselves to Raiser's [Knight], Carlamaine. The female knight then makes a happy face.

"I'm happy that there are warriors like you three in Rias Gremory's group. Coming out here directly from the front. That's something people with normal sanity won't do."

'So we don't have normal sanity, huh, then what about you'

"But I love idiots like you three. Now then, let's begin."

Carlamaine draws her sword out from the sheath. Yumi also gets ready to draw her sword out.

"The match between [Knights]. I have been waiting for this. Personally I would like to fight in an intense sword fight." Yumi's aggressive words.

Oh my, Yumi is making a really lively smile! Looks like this could prove to be fun, I draw my sword also.

"Just say the word if you need a hand, ill back you up"

"Thanks Kenta, but I got this"

"Well said! Rias Gremory's [Knight]!" she yelled as she sped at Yumi, I jumped back with Issei to give them both room.

Carlamaine starts to slash as if she is dancing.

GIN!

The swords hit each other making sparks! They both have god speed because they are [Knights]! But with my static I can keep up if I have to get involved.

They started their battle! Exchanges of swords that I follow with my Sharingan. They both keep up this high speed duel, impressive to say the least.

We watch for a few seconds before another voice rang out.

"You two seem bored."

When I look at the direction where the voice came from, there is a woman wearing a mask that just covers half of her face.

'I'm certain this woman is a [Rook].'

Then another person came while complaining.

"Geez, this only seems like a mud fight since both of them only thinks about swords, swords and swords. Carlamaine was making a bitter face when the [Pawns] were being sacrificed, so does she hate the battle strategy planned by her Master who happens to be her [King]? Furthermore, when I thought I found a cute boy, he also happens to be a sword freak so I can't stand this."

There is also a beautiful girl who is wearing a dress like the ones worn by western princesses. I think she is Raiser's [Bishop]. 'Ah the sister'

The [Bishop] princess looks at me with weird eyes. W-What is it?

"Hmm. So these are the [Pawns] that Rias Gremory adores? Does she have bad taste or what?"

She then starts to say rude things. Ku! She has a bad tongue even though she has a cute face!

Issei take distance from where he was standing and make a fighting stance against the two.

"Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

He then looks at me, "Hey aren't you going to do anything"

"I'm waiting for a more interesting opponent to come alone, you can handle these two"

"Whaaaaaaaaat!"

"Oh don't worry I'm not going to be your opponent. Isabella, why don't you be his opponent?"

The masked woman who is called Isabella nods obediently. The girl wearing a dress moves away from us after she got a confirmation from Isabella, and is looking at us from a distance.

'Eh!? So the sister doesn't fight, makes it easier on Issei then'

"I was planning to in the first place. Now then, let's fight since we are both bored."

"Ah, yeah. That's okay, but isn't that [Bishop] going to fight?"

Hearing Isseis question, Isabella the mask woman, put her hand on her forehead and make a troubled face.

"Ah, don't worry about her. That girl is special. She will be mostly observing for this fight as well."

"W-What the hell is that!?"

Words slips out from my mouth. Seriously, can't you make a better excuse than "watching"!? This is supposed to be an important battle!

"Issei, she's the sister of the KFC, remember~"

We both nearly gag again thinking about it

The KFC's sister waves her hand with a smile at us.

"According to Raiser-Sama, "Having your sister in your harem has a significant meaning. You know the significant view of having your close relatives? You know how there are people who look up to and also get jealous about it? Well, I'm not into little sisters, so I have her in my group as fashion."."

'Ok now I'm going to be sick'

"Now, here I come! Rias Gremory's [Pawn]!"

SWIFT!

Isseis' POV

When I thought that the [Rook] Isabella came forward, a really sharp punch passes through my cheek!

'Uwah! Lucky I dodged the attack by instinct!'

"I see. So you can dodge a punch like this. Sorry. I was looking down on you a bit. I'll put one gear, no, I will increase by two gears then!"

Isabella makes a suspicious move while moving her body. But—.

SWISH! SWISH!

She starts to attack from unpredictable angles and places! Wow! When I thought that I dodged her attack which she did by bending her arm, it came back again like a whip!

'Is this one of those flicker jabs you see in boxing!? It will definitely hurt if I get hit by it! I can't attack unless I have my Boosted Gear to a certain degree! For now I have to dodge! I dodge the attacks like mad and then—'

KICK!

"…Gah!"

I suddenly feel an intense pain in my stomach. 'A kick. I was kicked! I was too focused on her punches so I didn't pay attention to her legs…! I became unbalanced, and more punches came at my face! Lots of her flicker jabs hits my face. It hurts! This is seriously bad!'

[Boost!]

'Ku! I'm sure that was my fifth boost! This will be enough if my opponent is a [Pawn], but this isn't enough to defeat a [Rook]! In terms of piece value, [Rook] is the next highest after [Queen]! I won't be able to take her down with half-assed attacks!'

I cross my arms to guard against her punches. Her punches are heavy even with my guard on! I will retire right away if I continue to receive these hits! I step back when she withdrew her fist!

Kenta is just standing there watching the fight between the knights, 'why isn't he helping me'

The enemy's attack stops. But she is still moving. I won't know when she will attack again.

I'm glad that I sparred with Yumi and Koneko-chan. That proved to be very useful. That's because it gave me the sense to know when the opponent will stop attacking. Buchou also told me how to run so I was able to dodge the attacks just now. Then the [Rook] Isabella smiles.

"I was taking you lightly. To tell you the truth, I thought I got you when my kick hit you… Looks like Rias Gremory has been training you well. Especially your stamina is magnificent."

'Stamina…? Did I do something amazing?'

"In a serious battle, the most important thing is the stamina. Even idiots can fight. But you need stamina to continue for a few minutes. Battles consume lots of stamina and concentration. Just dodging the attack requires quite an amount of effort. So being able to do it till now means that you have been training your body a lot."

"It's had better, both Rias and me put him through hell during training to get him ready, before he was just a mess now at least he's a mess with some stamina"

My heart becomes full. The bitter training. The shouts which made Buchou seem like a Devil. And Kenta working me to the bone, I was forced to run from the morning, and even had to carry rocks on my back in the mountain path. I thought I was going to die. It even made me think if those were necessary. But Buchou stayed by my side from morning to dawn. Then my eyes got teary. I start to shed some tears pathetically in front of the enemy.

Buchou! Kenta!

Buchou! I am able to fight! I am standing! Kenta! Thank you

Everything that you two have done for me is showing results!

I can't lose. I won't lose! I will definitely make Buchou win! This woman! I will defeat this [Rook] who is right in front of me! They both have faith in me, that's why Kenta isn't interfering he knows I can do it by myself.

"…Looks like I said something unnecessary. I felt your pressure increase."

"[Rook] Isabella. I am the weakest and the least experienced member in Rias Gremory-Sama's group. But still I will defeat you!"

It happens when I made my resolve.

BUZZ!

I heard the sound of the wind. When I look, I witness Yumi's darkness sword dispersing.

—Holy Eraser.

A Sacred Gear where a darkness sword devours light and its blade is engulfed by darkness. It's Yumi's Sacred Gear, but it looks like a part of it was blown away by the enemy [Knight].

Kenta's POV

"Unfortunately, your Sacred Gear won't work on me."

'Carlamaine's sword is covered in flames. A flame sword? So the darkness sword got beaten by that huh. But Yumi doesn't seem bothered by it, and instead she makes a smirk. Interesting'

"Then I will also tell you this. Unfortunately, this isn't everything of my Sacred Gear."

"What? Nonsense. [Knight] of Gremory, it's unsightly for a swordsman to…"

"—Freeze."

After Yumi says that with a small voice, there is something gathering in the blade-less sword.

Huh? It feels like it has gotten cold… Chills starts to gather around here. When I was feeling something like that, Yumi's sword starts to freeze. The ice starts to pile up and it takes the shape of a sword.

BREAK!

At the same time with the sound of ice breaking, Yumi's sword forms into a blade of ice.

"In front of this sword, "Flame Delete", all types of fire will disappear."

—I-Ice sword!?

Hey, hey, hey, hey! The darkness sword isn't the only weapon of Yumi's!? Everyone except Yumi has a shocked expression, even me, I didn't see this coming. That's obvious. Is it even possible!?

"A-Absurd! Are you telling me that you have two Sacred Gears!?"

Carlamaine swings her flame sword to the side! She has an impatient look.

BREAK BREAK-BREAK…

The instant Carlamaine's sword touches Yumi's sword, the flame sword starts to freeze and turn into a solid. Then—.

It makes a sound and breaks. Then it disappears.

But she doesn't stop attacking. As soon as she throws away her sword, she takes a short sword from her hip. She then put her sword up and shouts.

"We are the members of the all mighty House of Phoenix that rule over fire and wind! Taste it! The whirlwind of fire!"

BUUUUUUURN!

There is a wind of fire around the baseball court with Carlamaine and Yumi in the middle of it. The hot wind is burning my skin.

Issei's POV

"That Carlamaine. Has she forgotten that her allies are here as well!?"

Isabella comments, while using her arm to guard her face.

Yumi's ice sword starts to melt after receiving the wind of fire. Even so, Yumi still doesn't seem to be bothered.

"I see, you are trying to burn us with the whirlwind of fire… But."

Yumi put her blade-less sword in front of her. She then says it with a strong voice.

"—Stop."

SUUUUUUUUCK!

The wind is getting sucked into Yumi's sword while making a large noise. The wind stops within few seconds, and the baseball ground becomes silent.

"Replenish Calm". It's been a while since I last showed more than two demonic swords for one battle."

There is a unique looking blade in Yumi's sword. There is a mysterious whirlwind in the middle of the blade. The winds were sucked in there?

She can even make that kind of sword as well!?

"…Multiple Sacred Gears. Are you a Sacred Gear possessor who takes the weapons of other Sacred Gear users and makes it their own?"

Yumi shakes her head at Carlamaine's question.

"I don't have multiple Sacred Gears. I also don't take the Sacred Gears of others and make them my own. I created it."

"Created…it?"

"Yes. "Sword Birth". I can make any type of demonic swords. That is the name of my Sacred Gear and its true ability."

Multiple swords appear from the ground when she put his hand downwards! There are swords with different shapes. Even the blades are different! From Yumi's words, all of them must be demonic swords!

[Boost!]

—Here it comes!

One hundred and fifty seconds exact! Now I'm also ready!

—When you form a block of demonic-power, shoot it with a shape you imagine the most.

What Buchou said comes back to my mind. The easiest way for shooting a block of power for me is how the main character of "Dragon Ball", "Son Goku", shoots "Kamehameha"!

"Boosted Gear! Explode!"

[Explosion!]

A massive load of energy waves gathers on both my hands. I spread my arms across and put them together! I imagine how I will shoot it, and then shoot it out by feeling the energy flowing within me! But I need to hold back. The power that destroyed the mountain is bad. It may affect Buchou's strategy if I destroy the school building. I shoot it while holding back—.

My special move! "Dragon Shot"!

I scream the name of my special move inside myself since the enemy may predict what I'm about to do by hearing it.

DON!

A mass of demonic-power gets released from my hands.

"Guwah!"

I get pushed back because of its power. I continue to look at the "Dragon Shot" even though I get myself pushed back!

It's huge!

Even if you compare it to my body, it's about five times the size of my height. And that is heading towards my opponent really fast. My target is Raiser's [Rook].

Buchou told me that in a "Rating Game", [Rooks] are the most troublesome ones.

Their attacks and defences gets higher.

These are the [Rooks] traits and that is what their most terrifying aspect is. It's normal to give the role of [Rook] to someone with high attack and defence, but it is also used in a different way.

You can also give a role of [Rook] to someone with high speed or high demonic-power.

People who fight using demonic-power tends to have weak physical builds. So they used the trait to overcome their weakness. So if you give the role of [Rook] to someone with fast legs, they will turn into all-rounder type with fast legs, high defence and high attack.

Furthermore, [Rook] has a special ability similar to the "promotion" of a [Pawn].

—The "Castling".

They can change the position of themselves with the [King] immediately. Buchou told me this is the most troublesome technique. It doesn't do anything after "Checkmate", but swapping the position of the [King] and [Rook] is certainly powerful. Increasing their strong points or covering their weak points is up to the Master. There are so many ways of using the pieces.

That's why I will take on the [Rook] Isabella.

"Isabella! Don't take it! Dodge!"

Raiser's [Knight], Carlamaine shouts. Isabella who was trying to take the attack before changes her action by evading it.

PASS!

Kenta even had to use his static to evade my shot, I held it back as much as I could, dam. That was massive. It just kept growing.

Isabella just dodges my attack. My Dragon Shot that misses the target went far away. It's heading for the tennis court.

The next moment—.

BAAAAAAAANG!

The sound of the ground rumbling! A red glow of light and whirlwind hit us!

I look at the Dragon Shot that had hit the tennis court and I can't believe what I am seeing.

—It's gone! The tennis court along with the surrounding sports grounds is gone!

Did it get blown away!? With my attack!? Even if it is a replica, the school looks totally different from before! There isn't even a trace left of the tennis court! Instead there is a huge crater! I hold back, yet this destructive power!?

I realise it once again. My Sacred Gear is abnormal!

"Isabella! Defeat that [Pawn]! That boy! That Sacred Gear has the power to change the outcome of the battle!"

By following the shouts of Carlamaine, Raiser's [Rook] Isabella locked-on at me.

"Affirmative! Boosted Gear! It will become a big threat if we allow him to use "promotion"! I will take him down before that happens!"

It's different from before, Isabella! My current attack power is that of a High-class Devil!

The enemy came rushing in at me, starting to kick and punch. I guard them, and put strength in my left arm!

Kentas POV

'Dang that shot had some power in it, if I hadn't dodged that I would have been in a similar situation as a bug is to a windshield at high speeds, I mean there is nothing left of the tennis court, nothing but a crater' I was about to yell at Issei to watch his aim, but now Issei is going for the rook with his fists.

"Daa!"

His knuckle went towards Isabella. She crosses her arms and guards, but…

BANG!

His heavy blow breaks he guard and sends the masked [Rook] flying! I see a small magic circle appear on her, 'oh no not again'

"Burst! Dress Break!"

POP! That moment, Isabella's clothes gets blown away. Her naked body becomes visible.

'Wow, those are huge oppais! It's really good since her body is tight! Photographic memory, save and save'

"What! What is this!?"

Isabella reacts by hiding her private parts. Well of course you would react that way!

Without wasting anytime, Issei put forward the small block of demonic-power that he created with his right hand! It shoots towards the rook!

"Goooooo!"

SHOOOOOT!

The mass of demonic-power that has been powered up significantly with the gauntlet went forward!

"Ku! With a move like this!"

The waves of demonic-power cover the naked Isabella's body.

BAAAAAANG!

A big shock-wave spread throughout the area. When it calms down, Isabella who is on the ground starts to get covered with light. She starts to fade away and disappear from this place.

[Reset]

The effect of Boosted Gear runs out. Then—.

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama's [Rook] retires.]

'See I knew you could do it, Issei, but I just wish you would have created a less perverted move, my whole clan is watching'

We heard the announcement of Grayfia.

"Hell yeaaaaaah!"

Issei shout with joy because he defeated a [Rook]. He's earned it.

Isseis POV

I try to inhale some air after the fight with Isabella…I used quite a lot of stamina and demonic-power. In terms of demonic-power, I used my potential energy within me, so the stronger the attack the more exhausted I will get.

I guess it will be good if I can release two more shots of demonic-power which has the same strength is the one I just shot. No, after my second shot, there's a threat that my demonic-power will run out and I may faint due to it. I need to think that I only have one more shot left.

Raiser's [Knight], Carlamaine, smirks after losing Isabella.

"Apparently both Isabella and I have been taking that [Pawn] and the Boosted Gear lightly. Just like I thought, I shouldn't take him as an ordinary [Pawn]."

The enemy praises me. This doesn't feel bad at all. I feel a bit happy.

"But it's an awful attack. No, I should say it's a scary attack. B-Blowing away a woman's clothes…"

"Yeah, I'm truly sorry. I will apologise as well. I'm sorry for our Ise-kun being a lecher."

"Yea me to, I'm sorry once again for my friends perverted mind

Like that, Yumi and Kenta apologises to Carlamaine. …Why are you two apologising? I feel complicated.

Kenta's POV

Carlamaine says it while holding the short sword with the other hand.

"But a demonic sword wielder…what fortune. I may have a destiny of meeting swordsmen who wield special swords."

Yumi seems quite interested after hearing that.

"Hmm, so there is someone besides me who uses demonic swords?"

"No, it wasn't a demonic sword. It was a holy sword."

Everyone here realises how Yumi's expression changes after hearing that. Instantly there is a load of killing intent coming out from Yumi.

'Wow. What killing intent! It feels really cold. My whole body feels cold.'

Yumi asks with a low voice while having cold eyes.

"Tell me about that holy sword wielder."

'…What intense force. She has the same level of hostility as Rias when she's pissed. But Holy sword? What does that have to do with Yumi?'

"Hmm, seems like that swordsman has some connection to you. But since we are swordsmen, talking would be rude. I will answer you with my sword!"

"…Is that right. …If your mouth can move, then it won't be a problem even if you turn into a state where you are on the verge of death."

CHILLS. The air is practically like ice.

'There is killing intent between the two. The killing intents are so strong that it is making me shake as well. Yumi! What happened to you!? Your usual refreshing smile is gone! This isn't the Yumi I know, but do I even know you at all!'

Someone approaches us while I'm feeling nervous at Yumi's change.

"So it's here."

"Huh? Where's Isabella-nee-san?"

"Don't tell me she was defeated?"

'So more of them show up, their demonic levels aren't that high, so I'll let Issei handle them, I want to watch Yumi fight, something is up with her'

Issei's POV

I remember their faces. There are two [Pawns], one [Bishop], and one [Knight] here…hey, it's the gathering of the remaining servants! What the. Are they trying to pull off a massive battle here!? There are only me, Kenta and Yumi from our group!?

Akeno-san is with Buchou and Asia last I checked and they are…

Buchou and Asia are… Yeah, what happened to those two? They should be moving ahead from the base according to the plan…

"Hey, the [Pawn]-Kun over there."

Raiser's girl calls me. What is it?

"Raiser-Sama said he's going to fight your princess. See there."

The girl points very high at the sky. When I look in that direction, there is a shadow with fire wings and two shadow with black wings above the rooftop of the new school building. No matter how I look at it, the person with black wings clearly has a crimson hair! That is Buchou!

[Ise-san! Kenta-san! Can you hear me!?]

Asia's voice comes out from the transceiver.

"Asia! What happened? Is it about Buchou?"

[Yes. Right now I'm with Buchou-san and Akeno-san on the school rooftop. The opponent, Raiser-san, challenged Buchou to a duel and Buchou-san accepted it! Thanks to that the three of us were able to get into the school building without any problem…]

…What kind of thing is happening?

I'm making a clueless face, and Raiser's sister comes to talk to me with a slim grin.

"Seems like Onii-sama made a challenge since Rias-Sama was doing well in the battle unexpectedly. It would have been our win if we fought normally, so he gave her pity. At this rate, she will be defeated before you fight him."

"That stupid, girl, what is she thinking!?"

'Kenta is pissed. Is it because Buchou went to fight Raiser without him.'

His sister starts laughing by putting her hand on her mouth where the sound of her laughter went as "Hohoho". 'Now I'm starting to get pissed!'

"Buchou is strong! Akeno-san is also there. Yumi, Kenta and I will also defeat all of the servants here with his demonic swords combo! I will also use my Boosted Gear and…"

"The "Crimson-hair Ruin-princess", "Priestess of Lightning", "Sword Birth", "Boosted Gear", and the newly named "Tempest Gear" and "Sharingan". Just hearing the names gives me chills. But your opponent is the "immortal bird". No matter what kind of power you have, it means nothing against the immortal bird."

"But the "Phoenix" also has weak points!"

His sister laughs at my argument with her nose.

"Are you going to beat him until he loses the will to fight? Or are you going to defeat him with a strike that rivals God? Are you trying to win this match? That's a laugh."

"Why is it!?"

"That's because there was no chance for Rias-Sama to win from the beginning. That's how much despair the thing "immortal" is to you."

Raiser's sister makes a click with her fingers. The servant Devils surrounds me

"Carlamaine. I will leave that [Knight] girl to you, but if you lose we won't fight in one-on-one. We will defeat her together. Or are you trying to lower the name of Phoenix?"

Carlamaine agrees to Raiser's sisters words reluctantly.

"Sieris."

"Affirmative."

The one who steps forward is a woman with a wild appearance. She is carrying a sword on her back.

"She is Onii-sama's other [Knight]. Unlike Carlamaine over there, she doesn't have any of that "honour of a knight". She will defeat her opponent. Just like that."

The woman called Sieris draws her sword from her back… It's a big sword. It's really wide. Will I die if I get cut by that thing?

"But she can do the finishing. Ni and Li."

"Nya."

"Nya-nya."

The one who responds to her words are two girls with beast ears. I think they are [Pawns].

"They are female beast warriors. Their hand to hand combat is remarkable you know."

SWISH!

The two beast girls disappear from my sight! Then I receive a blow on my stomach and head!

"Guhaa!"

Without a time to whine, I start to receive blows in my legs, arms, shoulders, back. Everywhere in my body!

I-I can't see their fists! What speed!

"B-Boosted Gear!"

[Boost!]

The boost starts! But the enemy's attack increases more.

"Ni! Li! Boosted Gear is a Sacred Gear that doubles the power every ten seconds! From how the chainsaw twins, Eel and Nel, were defeated, you won't be able to take him after he gets his third boost! Finish the fight within twenty seconds. Due to his Sacred Gear ability, he can't fight when he increases his boosts! He will just run away! Aim for his legs! Also don't touch his hands! It seems like that person has a shameless move that blows away clothes by touching his opponents!"

After hearing that, the twins make an expression of fear.

"That's low!"

"Beast!"

'Shut up! What's wrong with it!? What's wrong with obtaining a move that strips down girls naked!?'

"It's vulgar to think with your lower body!"

"What's wrong with thinking with my lower body!? I'm a guy!"

Well it may be pointless talking back at them. But Raiser's sister, she understands my weakness very well!

BANG!

Ouch! Shit! They are aiming for my legs now! They low kicked me in my calves! Does a beast girl's kick hurt this much!? Are their basic physical bodies high because they are beasts!? I can't attack recklessly while the Boosted Gear is doubling my power! Starting from one where I don't have any time to spare will be the worst scenario! I have to run and evade…

BANG!

"Ouch!"

Another low kick! It hurts! It's not only that! My legs are shaking because of the pain! With this, I can't run away—.

"Guhaa!"

I receive a heavy punch in my face. My blood comes out. Blood. Blood! From my mouth and nose!

Tears starts to come out because of the pain!

"Ise Shit! Kenta!"

Kentas POV

'I guess I was wrong to think Issei could take the two of them, time to get involved' I start walking forward to intervene. "worry about yourself Yumi"

Yumi holds the sword with two hands and starts slashing so she can defeat Carlamaine quickly!

"Carlamaine! Hold it for another ten seconds! I know that you can't win against that [Knight]! But we will be able to defeat the Dragon-user shortly! Keep that [Knight] busy!"

Raiser's sister laughs with enjoyment. Are you just observing like a king!? She truly is a bitch!

STOMP.

Issei hits the ground with his knees, his legs can't move anymore. 'Shit he's taken to much damage, if he faints now, he will retire!'

BAAAAAAANG!

A shock-wave shakes the whole field! I look up because I thought it might be, and it was Rias and Raiser fighting. They are clashing against each other by using their crimson demonic-power and fire demonic-power up in the air. Akeno is getting a few shots in as well but Raiser doesn't even look to have a scratch. Even his clothes aren't ripped.

Rias and Akeno on the other hand have some parts of their uniform blown off. They are also breathing heavily as well. That's because there is no chance for Rias to win from the beginning. That's how much despair the thing "immortal" is to you.

'Not going to happen!'

I instantly land in front of Issei just at these new twins take more pot shots at him and with a pulse I knock them back, "no way in hell are we're going to lose to some extra crispy KFC!"

'Rias…Lose? Us lose, never going to happen. I made a promise and I'm dam well going to keep it that! That I won't forgive! Hurting our friends, screwing with Rias's happiness, un-fucking-forgivable'

"Get the fuck up Issei we have a chicken to cook"

Isseis POV

I have to stand. I have to stand even if my body gets turned into meat. But more than that, I have to protect her. She gave me a new life. I want to protect that person. It's not about the contract or constraint. That person needs to stand strong while wavering her crimson hair. That's Buchou. That's the person who I came to admire. Buchou told me she doesn't want him. Buchou told me to fight.

Then I— I just have to fight.

'Hey Ddraig. Answer me, I need power give me power'

[You want it partner you got it]

"Give me strength! Boosted Gear!"

[Dragon Booster!]

My Sacred Gear makes a red light.

'It's not enough. This isn't enough! I want more strength!'

"More! That time it was Asia! Now it's Buchou! Answer my feelings! Boosted Geeeeeear!"

[Boy aren't you greedy today, fine!]

[Dragon Booster second Liberation!]

The gauntlet makes a sound that I have never heard before, and there is a change to my left arm. The red aura covers my left arm, and it shapes into something. The gauntlet starts to change its shape and form.

When the aura disappears, the Boosted Gear—

"...It changed?"

"Finally your boosted gear have levelled up again, now let's kick some arse" Kenta grins as me and him go back to back

The gauntlet, which was said to be a crystallisation of insane power, changed into a new form. The jewel that is on the hand part of the gauntlet also shows up on my arm. Therefore it has changed the overlook of it.

'Huh? What is this—? I'm wondering about it, and the jewel sends the information to my head. So that's how I use my new power… A smirk appears on my face, naturally on its own.

'I can, we can still get stronger!'

"Let's show them something so remember Kenta, let's use our gears together"

"You got it Issei lets show them why they should never mess with the pawns of the Gremory group"

Our two fists collide as the gear in my gem glowed, and then Kentas.

"Boosted Gear Gift!"

[Transfer.]

The wind around us swirled violently as Kenta chuckled to himself.

[Enjoy the pick me up old friend]

{Oh yes, that's the stuff, partner, lets show them how much you've mastered you sacred gear, blow them all away}

"Just my thinking"

Kenta's POV

I raise my hand as the winds begin to converge on my hand, time to get to work, I shoot forward at the two twins and in under a second, my sword and the winds merge and I shoot past them both as they both get enveloped in a bright light and disappear.

'Two down'

moments later I shoot towards Yumi and the two knights she I'd currently fending off, both of which are enveloped in light also after fatally trying to block my attacks only to get their swords shattered.

'Four down'

I then shoot at the two bishops and turn one into a shish kabob, before holding my blade to the sisters' throat.

'And that makes five'

"What was that about us losing, kiddy meal"

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama's two [Pawns], two [Knights], and one [Bishop], retires.]

Her eyes are wide as I take a victory grin but it was short lived.

[Rias Gremory-Sama's [Queen] retires.]

I turn only to see Akeno being enveloped in bright light. My eyes go wide realizing Rias is fighting Raiser alone now, "shit, Rias"

I turn and extend my wings and use my wind to shoot me towards the school building.

"Time to end this"

I shot at the two of them as fast as my winds and wings can take, Raiser has his hand in the air about to hurdle a fire ball at Rias and Asia, it's inbound, when I land in the way.

Rias POV

'I was foolish to think I could win, how could we beat an immortal'

Raiser is just chuckling to himself as he juggles a huge fire ball in his hand taunting me, as he prepares to end it, perhaps I should just accept my fate, to be just his prize.

He throws the fire ball, this is it it's over

But suddenly I feel a strong gust of wind, and a shadow looms over me, I look up to see the back of ….Kenta.

His armoured hand is held out and he has literally shattered the massive fire ball with his fist.

"No way in hell I'm letting you give up that easy, Rias"

"K-Kenta"

In front of my stands the pawn I brought back from deaths door not just two months ago, who has been an inspiration for everyone in my peerage, and who is now standing in front of me, defending me, defending everything that I am, how, what have I done to deserve such a loving pawn, no such a loving friend.

Kenta's POV

I can't believe what I'm seeing, Rias is on her knees, her clothes are ripped and burnt and she looks like she's been crying, this bastard, how dare he, I will make him pay for doing this to her.

I face this sad excuse for a devil my Sharingan active, and my fists pouring with lightning, he is going to pay.

"Promotion: QUEEN!"

The lightning in my hands increase tenfold as my promotion takes hold and I can feel my power increase, 'so this is the power of a queen, very nice'

"So you finally came you little shit, fine before I finish off dear sweet Rias, I shall make her watch as I end another of her servants"

I turn my head to Rias, she is looking up at me, all hope in her eyes gone, "Rias"

"Kenta"

Her voice is so soft, he really has put her through some kind of hell, because this isn't the Rias I know, the Rias I know, is strong, confident, caring, loving, full of life and never gives up.

"Rias, do you trust me"

…

"Do you trust me?"

…

…

"Yes"

I smiled. "Then trust me now, I am going to end this son of a bitch, I am going to put him through a hell the likes of which has never been seen"

Raiser scoffs at my words. "Ha tough talk coming from a…."

That's all he got to say before I shot a blast at him, taking off the right side of his head, his eyes widened when he saw my lightning growth, it now covered the entire roof, and high into the sky as the clouds above roared with thunder and flashed as lightning, crackled amongst it.

"…..time to pay Raiser"

Authors POV

Raiser stairs at the sight that was taking life right before him. Kentas lightning was taking shape, small forms were taking shape all around him, and they were moving, they were birds, hundreds, no a thousand small birds covering the sky, as he looked at the boys' eyes, they were glowing red with the three tomoes.

"Chidori: Chidori no yari, Zen kaiten" (Chidori: one thousand bird spears full revolution)

With a thrust of Kenta's hand the bird shot at Raiser and shot through him electrocuting him over and over, each one burning and frying his insides, of course his healing made him recover but the intense pain of being repeatedly electrocuted is what's hurting him most, as the birds continue to pierce him.

Raiser violently shook as each bird shot through him, the shock had only just stopped from one when another one shot through him, sending another blast of pain through him causing him to spasm, until all one thousand had passed thorough him.

Finally the pain stops after Raiser drops to his knees, as smoke raises from his body as he keeps regenerating, Kenta watches on as Raiser gets to his feet once more and flexes his neck.

Kentas POV

'As to be expected he didn't even try to dodge one of them, he really is cocky'

"Is that really all you've got?" Raiser raised his hand and attempts to form a fire ball. I shoot at him and grab his face with my armoured hand encased in compressed air, forcing him backwards we jump off the roof "How about this!"

"Raisō rakurai" (lightning claw lightning strike)

We land on the ground and I slam the back of Raisers head into the ground as I course lightning through his body the whole way down, and then on impact a bolt of lightning strikes him through my arm. He shakes violently from the lightning.

"And now this, Tempest gear: Asshuku Kyanon (compressing cannon)"

The massive amount of compress air I had formed around my hand expanded suddenly flattening raiser to the ground and sending a massive shockwave that shook the entire school ground, I jump back and out of the two meter deep crater I had just made with raiser at the centre, he would be getting up from that shortly, I landed and began to catch my breath.

As the smoked cleared and I saw a flame in it I pushed myself backwards to give myself room to launch my next attack. Raiser launches himself out of the hole with two massive winds of fire he lands, his face still in flames, healing from my attack and his body still twitching from the lightning, but he soon shakes it off and comes towards me. I ball my fist compressing air around it again ready to go for another attack when I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn and it was Issei.

"Don't worry I've got your back, we'll take him down together"

"Thanks"

My fists clench as the winds swirl around us, 'let's do this'

"Well isn't this a sight to see, two [pawns] thing they can take down a king, oh how rich, I'm going to burn you both alive" raiser saws as he flairs his flames trying to intimate us.

[BOOST] 1

"There won't even be any bones left once I'm done with the pair of you" he raised his, hand flames dripping of it, like water.

[BOOST] 2

"That's a lot of big talk coming from someone who's yet to even land a hit you walking KFC" my air is fully compressed I'm ready to go.

[BOOST] 3

"Yea when we're done with you, there won't even been enough of you left for one bucket" Issei chimes in trying to sound tough

[BOOST] 4

"You two don't realize who, I am do you, I'm a phoenix, I can't die, throw everything you've got at me and I won't die" he laughs raising his hand creating a fire ball about the size of a car.

"That's where you're wrong Raiser" I snapped

[BOOST] 5

"Everything in this world dies, it has to otherwise it would be chaos, even you, you just take a little more than the average bastard to put down, it can be done, all It takes is patience or a god level attack" I say adding more pressure and air to my fist

[BOOST] 6

"Then what you two are meant to pull out this so called god level attack, don't make me laugh, you two couldn't pull out shit" he chuckles

[BOOST] 7

"No. we're not going to pull off a god class attack, we just had to give it some time so that you could be worn down and we could get stronger" Issei says crossing his arms as his gem glows.

[BOOST] 8

"What are you talking about!? I'm as strong as ever, you've barely done anything to me"

[BOOST] 9

"Not me him" Issei gestured to me

I just smiled, "I hit you with one thousand bird spears, which dropped you to your knees and eat away at you energy reserves to wear you down. Then dropped you off a three story building while electrocuting you, only to land you on your head, hit you with a lightning bolt, and smash you with three hundred litters of compressed air. Though you may not have felt it, all your inner organs have been roasted by my first wave of attacks, and you've been continuously healing from the get go, and now I think I've kept you long enough"

[BOOST] 10

"All right boosted gear"

[Explosion]

The two of us bump fists again as we do both our gems glow like a star as they touched.

[Transfer]

The wind and lighting practically tear up the ground as Issei drops to his knee after giving me all this power, 'thanks dude I'll take it from here' I step forward

"Where did all this power come from?"

"You were foolish to keep taunting Raiser, you merely sealed your fate, this power comes from the combined powers of the heavenly dragon Ddraig and boosted gear, and the draconian dragon god of the wind, Ehecatl, who resides with in my Tempest gear, and now you will feel both their wrath as well as mine"

I raised my fist as my lightning poured out of it and the enhanced winds swirled around my fist and I focused the immeasurable power. And then I started sprinting at the phoenix, as he realize his mistake.

"H-Hold on! Do you even know what you are doing!? This engagement is important and necessary for the future of Devils! It's not something a Devil brat like you can butt into! Who do you think you are?"

"I am Kenta Maki, second son of Shoichi Maki, grandson of Satoru Maki future head of the clan of Maki, wielders of the Sharingan, I am pawn of Rias Gremory. And I am your end"

"TEMPEST GEAR: Rairyū no kami no ken" (fist of the lightning dragon god)

My fist connected my Raisers gut as the power surged through my body, and I hit him with my combined power along with the times ten boosted power of my sacred gear, the resulting impact was like one hundred lightning strikes all in the one place as a lightning and wind tornado blasted through Raiser, obliterating half of what remained of the school.

….

I dropped to my knees I could feel my energy was gone, Raiser, was engulfed in a bright blue light, and moments later.

[Raiser Phoenix-Sama retired, victory Rias Gremory-Sama]

I dropped on my side and looked to see Issei giving me the thumbs up, I do my best to return the gesture, before we're both enveloped by a blue light ourselves and I close my eyes

'So in the end it took all that out of me, dam I may need to sleep for a week after this'
