After the ceremony was over, the group got to business discussing strategy for the rating game. First, they would train offsite to enhance everyone's capabilities, as well as training their teamwork and faith in their new familia.

"So, why can't I just go in and beat this chicken guy up?" Issei reclined in the chair.

"This rating game is more like a complex sport than a boxing match Issei, unfortunately, it's not that simple. You'll be acting as a pawn since you've been granted a special allowance into the game." Rias sighed while she explained.

"Your peerage huh? Wouldn't it be better if I just actually joined it? Aren't the devil's stronger than regular people anyways?" Issei chirped.

"Regular people, yes," Akeno chimed in. "But we've alright decided against it. You've got a sacred gear and a symbiote, so its a far cry to go and call you 'regular.' Besides, given the gene instability of Toxin, we think it's best we don't go altering your physiology. Especially right before a special match."

"Besides, entering my peerage means becoming my servant, remember? Would a Harem king really be subservient to some high school girl?" Rias smirked.

"Gah!" Issei coughed at her last remark. "Alright, alright. I'm fine staying human then."

"Don't worry Issei, we'll make sure you're properly compensated for the match alright? We need your help with our training regime too."

"Ahhh… Alright, just make sure to stock up on chocolate." Toxin wiggled in delight hearing he would be well taken care of during their training.

Rias and Akeno turned to the newly minted devils, formerly fallen angels. "So, you girls will have a lot of work to do before you're ready for the match."

"I know this was the deal, but I can't help but feel a little wronged." Mittelt remarked and got a glare from the other former fallen angels in the room.

"You all seem relatively talented with magic, so that'll be our focus when we train alright?" Akeno smiled.

The group continued to chat for the night, planning their trip to maximize any gains. Eventually, it turned late, and the group went their separate ways for the night. Issei was just happy he could sleep next to boobs again.

After a series of teleportation jumps, the ORC found themselves at the foot of a mountain where Rias's family owned a villa. It would be their training grounds for a few days before it was time to fight the chicken man.

Issei was saddled with most of the group's luggage as they hiked up the hill, and it really highlighted his lack of stamina. He lagged quite a distance from the group ahead of him when Toxin finally decided to speak up.

"No stamina… If you can't keep up with all of the ladies now, I think there isn't a future as a harem king for you…" The words lit a fire in Issei's heart, and he began to sprint with a furious fever as fast as he could up the mountain. It would have been motivational if he hadn't tripped and fell face first onto the rocky ground, falling even further behind…

At the top of the mountain, the group admired the villa. Only Rias and Akeno had been there before, so the rest of the group admired the architecture of the place as they were shown around. When Issei finally reached the top, the group had already settled in.

"Alright guys, I need some titties to recharge or I'll be out for the count for the rest of the day." Issei gasped for air with his hands on his knees, happy to be free from the luggage at last.

"As much as I'd like to take a break and have some fun Issei, this is important. I promise you'll get to touch my breasts later though if you do a good job today." Rias commented with a giggle. Aside from Koneko who gave Issei a death stare, most of the group felt the same way.

"Yes ma'am!" Issei stood up straight with a salute much to the amusement of the group.

A few hours later, the group had begun training. Issei stood clad in Toxin's suit as he faced off against Kiba and Koneko.

"Now Issei," Kiba instructed, "Summon your sacred gear. Fight with both the boosted gear, and while you're suited up in Toxin."

"I've never used its ability in combat, but alright." Issei summoned the boosted gear on his left hand. In addition with the symbiote on his body, the gauntlet looked fleshy, as if the metal was growing out from his discolored and warped skin. The green gem had veins running across it, as though the light was a vital source of energy for the body.

[Boost!] As the gauntlet roared, the mock match between the three began. Kiba and Koneko would test Issei's limits and find ways to help him improve. In an instant, Kiba closed the gap and swung his wooden training sword at Issei's head. Issei barely had time to dodge, the sword gliding across Toxin's suit, but the onslaught continued. Just as Issei managed to gain his footing against Kiba, Koneko joined the fray and caught Issei off guard, landing a massive punch to Issei's gut.

Issei's mind ran at full speed as he continued trying to dodge, block, and inevitably get hit by the teamwork in front of him. Try as he might, he couldn't come up with solutions on how to get away from the pair.

"Stop thinking Issei! Sometimes, the best defense is offense!." Kiba's sword smacked Issei across the back of his head.

Amidst the dizziness, it clicked in Issei's head. Toxin roared as he began his counter attack. As Koneko reared up for another punch, Issei shot out one of his own, forcing her to evade. Kiba tried to cover for her, amplifying his sword swings but Issei ducked under and tackled him to the ground.

The three continued their match until Issei collapsed in exhaustion. Kiba and Koneko were still standing at the end, though, not much better off than Issei.

"I have to say Issei, you're a lot better than I thought you would be. It might be Toxin at work, but your strength and reaction speed are already up to par. With the boosted gear helping out, you did pretty well. One question though, why didn't you boost your strength more than once? Are you not able to handle more of its power yet?" Kiba critiqued Issei's performance with his finger curled on his chin.

"Wha-huh? I can boost more than once?" The entire group stood in silence for a while to take in his response.

[Partner, we will be doing a thorough teaching session tonight. You have a lot to learn. This is long overdue, don't try to escape it.] As the gauntlet shimmered on his hand, Issei shed a tear. The hard work never ends…
