The next day went by surprisingly fast. Last night they had told Inko the good news and she pretty much cried tears of joy until she passed out. Once school was done for the day, Izuku, Ibara, and Ochako made their way to the clubroom to meet the others as quickly as they could. Izuku still couldn't believe it. He was going to the school of his dreams. And with friends that he felt he had known his whole life! All thanks to Rias. Nothing could ruin how he was feeling right now. Not even a berserk Kacchan!

"Guys!" Ochako exclaimed as they entered the clubroom. No one was present, however, except for Rias. "Huh? Guess we got here first."

"I'm not surprised. Izuku-san was rather hard to keep up with," said Ibara.

"Yeah, hehe," Izuku laughed.

Rias was looking off into space with some wondering expression, apparently oblivious to their presence.

"I hope Mizu-oneechan gets here soon. She seriously needs to explain herself!" Ochako huffed.

"Do you really think she's going to be teaching at U.A.?" Ibarra asked.

"We'll find out," Izuku then noticed that Rias hadn't reacted to them at all. "Buchou, is something wrong?" Izuku asked. Rias didn't respond, the blank expression still on her face.

"Buchou?" Ibara asked, looking concerned. Still no answer.

"Buchou?" Ochako waved a hand in front of Rias' face. Still nothing. Finally, Ochako took hold of Rias' shoulder and began to shake her violently. "BUCHOU!"

Rias shrieked loudly as Ochako shook her, nearly falling out of her chair. She cast a hard glare at Ochako when she finished shaking her. "You could've done something else, Ochako," she growled.

"Buchou, are you okay?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine Izu," Rias answered, "I was spacing out was all. Anyway, I got your texts. Congratulations on passing the exam!"

"Thanks."

Turning around, the group saw Kyoka enter the clubroom, followed by Momo, Yuuto, Koneko, and Mizu. "Hey! I was wondering when you'd get here," Ochako said with her cheery smile.

"Looks like everyone's here," Mizu notated. "Nice job on passing the exam, Chako. I was secretly rooting for you!"

"You saw what we went through?!" Ochako asked. "Why didn't you stop that monster, then? And why didn't you tell me you were going to be teaching at U.A.?!"

"One, I knew you would be okay. And two, I wanted to surprise you!" The older woman answered.

"What was All Might like?!" Izuku asked, his fanboyism taking hold.

"A lot like he is on TV," Mizu kept the part about All Might's skeletal state secret. "And before you all ask, I only just started working at U.A., so I don't know who you'll be assigned to or what class you'll be placed in."

"What will you be teaching, Mizu-sama?" Momo asked.

"I'll be helping with combat training, mostly hand-to-hand," Mizu smiled. "So don't expect me to go easy on you."

"Speaking of classes, do you think we'll end up in the same homeroom?" Kyoka asked. "Shitori's on the student council, right? You think she can-"

"She might," Rias said. "But Principle Nedzu is incredibly intelligent. It'll rouse suspicion if she requests all of you end up in the same class, so don't get your hopes up."

The soon-to-be hero students all frowned, not liking their chances already.

"I know it doesn't seem fair," Rias spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "But even if we're all in different classes and departments, we're all still going to U.A. The best hero school in the country."

"She's right," Mizu said. "Besides, it's not like you'll be separated forever, just during classes. And I'll be helping train all of you to be great heroes! So let's focus on the positives for now. Now, are you gonna keep moping or are we gonna go celebrate? There's a special going on at Big Bang Burger."

Everyone brightened up, even Koneko (somewhat). "Your treat?" The white-haired devil asked.

The sorcerer blanched.

A few minutes of walking later and the group arrived at the Big Bang Burger that was only two blocks away from U.A. There weren't many customers at the moment, so they made their orders and sat down. Soon their food arrived. Most of them ordered the normal menu items. Koneko, on the other hand…

"Here you are, miss. The Cosmic Tower Burger," the waitress placed what could only be described as a tower of meat, lettuce, cheese, sauce, and buns in front of Koneko. It stood at least a meter tall and was as wide as someone's head!

Everyone in the restaurant, with the notable exceptions of Rias, Yuuto, and the staff, all turned to stare at the massive burger.

"It's massive…"

"I'm honestly at a loss for words…"

Izuku could only stare at the massive challenge Koneko asked for, the waitress explained the details about the burger before leaving, saying Koneko only had thirty minutes to finish the burger. "Is she going to be okay?" He asked.

"She'll be fine," Rias replied as she took a bite of her burger.

Twenty Minutes Later

"Can I have dessert?" Koneko asked the waitress, having just finished the Cosmic Tower.

'Is she for real?!'

"At least I saved some of my money," Mizu groaned as they left the restaurant.

"Ugh, those burgers were monsters…" Ochako groaned, holding her stomach. "I should've gotten a smaller size…"

"Thinking about Koneko-chan eating that Cosmic Tower Burger makes me wanna vomit," Ibara added.

As everyone walked together, trying to cheer them up from eating too much, Izuku felt someone watching them. The feeling wasn't good at all and before he could look behind to see who it was…

"Deku…"

Everyone stopped immediately. Some of them recognized that voice. They turned around to see someone that made Izuku flinch.

"K-Kacchan!?" Izuku said in surprise at seeing the ash-blond right behind them looking at him with an expression that wasn't all too happy.

"…How'd you do it?" He said quietly, making Izuku raise a brow.

"E-excuse me?" Izuku asked as he didn't quite hear what the explosion Quirk user said.

"I said… HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IN?!" Bakugo suddenly roared, making Izuku take a step back and the others glare at him.

"Would you just lay off him?" Ochako said as she stepped forward in defense of Izuku.

"What?" Bakugo said irritably as he glared at the girl in front of him.

"She said to stand down," Ibara said as she stood next to Ochako.

Bakugo growled and let off smoke from his hands. "I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU TWO BITCHES RIGHT NOW!" He yelled at them before glaring at the boy behind the girls. "NOW TELL ME HOW YOU CHEATED!"

"Wh-what?" Izuku stuttered at his former childhood friend's words. "I-I didn't cheat!"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME, DEKU!" The ash-blond roared as he stomped his foot on the ground hard. "THERE'S NO WAY A LOSER LIKE YOU GOT FIRST WHILE SOMEHOW I GOT FUCKING FIFTH! NOW TELL ME HOW YOU-"

*Slap!*

Suddenly Bakugo was violently interrupted by Rias, who slapped him so hard he tumbled to the ground. "Leave him alone!"

Bakugo managed to sit back up, holding his right eye and using his left to send a death glare toward the crimson-haired girl. "Why you-"

"That's enough!" Izuku suddenly spoke up directing everyone's attention to him. "I don't care what you say, or what you think. I applied because I have people who believe in me! People who said I could be a hero! So like it or not you can't stop me!"

Yuuto nodded at his friend's words. "Izuku-kun and the others are going to U.A. They're going to become amazing heroes."

"You hear that?! There's no stopping us now!" Kyoka said with a confident smirk as she crossed her arms.

"Now get lost, asshole," Koneko deadpanned, the white-haired girl glaring at him while cracking her knuckles.

Bakugo gave the group the most intense look he's ever given anyone before as he got up. "Just you all wait. I'll make all of you regret coming to U.A." He growled darkly before storming off.

As they watched him leave, Mizu just shook her head. "That guy has some serious issues."

"Yeah, but he is strong, there's no denying that," Izuku said quietly. He looked at his hand, clenching it into a fist.

Sensing the situation, Ochako decided to speak up. "Hey, why don't we all go home? It's getting late and we need all the rest we can for when U.A. starts up."

Everyone turned to Ochako and nodded with a smile at her suggestion. "Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted, too," Momo stated with everyone else nodding in agreement.

"Classes don't start until April, so you all have about a month until then." Said Mizu. "Be sure to get plenty of rest, but don't slack off on your training. Speaking of, Chako, we have lessons tonight."

"…I was kinda hoping you forgot," she groaned.

The group laughed a little before they went in their separate directions. Though Izuku couldn't help but notice the troubled look on Rias' face.

The first thing Izuku did when returning home was laying on his bed with an exhausted sigh. His mom was out buying groceries, Ibara having gone with her, and Ochako won't be back until dinner. So he had the apartment to himself for a little bit. He thought back to how Rias was acting. Lately, she'd been spacing out more and more. "I wonder what's bothering her?" He asked no one in particular.

Suddenly, the lights in his room began to dim and the air pressure slightly shifted. "Huh?" A crimson light shined in his room, prompting him to sit up. To his surprise, it was a magic circle that bore the symbol of the Gremory family. The glow died out as quickly as it came, and he could see Rias standing where it once was. Though her bangs seemed to be shielding her eyes he noted that her expression had no emotion. "Eh? Buchou? What is it? Is something wrong?"

"Izuku…" her bangs cleared away from her eyes, a look of desperation appearing on her face. Izuku could tell that she looked very troubled by something and knew that she was going to ask for his help, which he would instantly give no matter what. But the words she said next he was not ready for. "…I want you to make love with me."

Izuku blinked.

And then he blinked twice.

"S-say what?" was the only thing Izuku could say, standing up.

"I said I want you to take my virginity," Rias rephrased as if she were lecturing him. And just like that, she began stripping, first removing her blazer, unbuttoning her shirt, and then undoing her skirt, leaving her with nothing more than her bra and panty. Izuku felt himself swallow spit as he ogled Rias' body, unable to look away. The lacy red bra and panty she wore complimented her very nicely, something that Izuku noted to himself. He was completely paralyzed just by her body, unable to react and know what to do. "…I'm not good enough for you?" she asked him, walking up to him.

"What?! No- I mean… yes- I mean… but you're- I mean… what are you doing?" Izuku stumbled through his words as his face turned as red as a tomato.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking as of late, and I've decided that this is the only option there is," Rias answered, holding her arms under her breasts and turning away slightly as she blushed. "If there is evidence, then they can't complain about it. The only person close to me who can do it with me is you."

"Um, me?" Izuku stuttered. "Can I ask why?"

"Of the boys I personally know there is Yuuto, but he won't have any of it. He is too pure of a knight and his chivalry would get in the way. The same is true for the other one. That only leaves you," before Izuku could answer her logic, she grabbed him by the shirt and forced him onto the bed. He held his head up just in time to see her climbing on top of him and straddling his waist, "What's wrong? Do you not find me attractive enough?"

"It's not like that!" Izuku denied, shaking his head. "It's just that when a pretty girl shows up in a boy's room unannounced and-and suddenly says 'let's have sex', it's gonna catch him off guard!"

"…True, it would startle anyone," her body shifted, and he could feel her buttocks and thighs touching his most important part. Her head dipped slightly so that she was directly above him and her crimson hair cascaded against his cheeks. "I know this is your first time, but it's the same for me. So let's just take it slow." Looping her arms around her back, she unhooked her bra and carelessly tossed it aside. His eyes widened. Before him were Rias' luscious breasts and plumped pink nipples. Then, she took his hand and pressed it against her right breast. Izuku could feel how soft it felt against his hand, and how the nipple began to harden against his palm. It was just… so damn good! "Can you feel it?" she asked in a charming voice, "I'm just as tense as you are. You can tell by my heartbeat, right?"

'WHAT IS HAPPENING?!' Izuku screamed in his head. He was seriously freaking out now. This has been the closest he has ever been with any girl. Looking up, he saw the look in his master's eyes. His eyebrows furrowed. Those weren't the eyes of someone who wanted to have sex willingly. His jitters slightly left his body as he gripped Rias by the shoulders and slowly pushed her so he could sit. "Buchou, take a break for a minute. You aren't acting like… you."

Rias blinked, her eyes becoming more desperate, "What do you mean?"

"Well, ask yourself this: do you really want to do this?" Izuku asked.

"Of course I do!" she shouted, shocking him. "There's no one else I can do it with! The one I want is you right now! We made have met months ago but there isn't any other way!"

"What do you mean there's no other way? Why are you in such a hurry to give up your virginity?" Izuku asked in a calm, yet startled voice.

Rias could have responded with another plea, but that didn't come out when another crimson flash appeared in his room, alerting the teenagers on the bed. Rias clicked her tongue, "I was so close…"

Izuku turned and noticed that the red glow came from another magic circle that had the mark of Rias' clan. Who was it? Kiba? Momo? Whoever it was, getting caught in such a situation was bad. But instead of any of his friends coming out, it was someone else completely.

She was an attractive-looking woman with silver hair that flowed down to her back and red eyes. Her hair had two braided side bangs with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest of it was let down in the back, also ending in twin braids, and a maid's headdress on her head. She was dressed in a blue and white French maid uniform. Her lips were painted a bright red. She was also looking at Rias with a look of disapproval and her gaze seemed to cause the temperature in the room to drop. "Milady, are you trying to break the engagement by doing something like this?" she asked curtly.

'Engagement?'

Rias frowned and stood up from the bed in all her naked glory, "Father and 'Zechs won't listen to me! It's the only way to get them to notice!"

"Even if it means giving up your purity to someone of lowly birth?" the maid continued, gesturing at Izuku. Izuku scowled at the offense, forgetting at the moment that he was in bed with a nude girl.

"Who I give my purity to is my decision and mine alone," Rias answered, her eyes flashing quickly, "And I won't have you speak insultingly of my servant, even if it's you Grayfia." Izuku couldn't help but blush and smiled softly at how Rias quickly stood up for him.

The maid, now identified as Grayfia, sighed as she picked up Rias's bra and snapped it back on her bosom. "Please remember that you are the next heiress of the House of Gremory, so please don't show your skin to a man recklessly. It's not a good image for your reputation." She noticed that Izuku was still in the room and gave a polite bow. "Greetings, servant of Rias. I am Grayfia, the head maid of the House of Gremory. My apologies for what I said before."

Catching himself, Izuku got up from his bed and also bowed, stuttering, "Th-that's fine ma'am."

"Grayfia," Rias began, her face showing unladylike unpleasantness, "Did you come here of your own accord? Or because the household sent you? Or was it 'Zechs?"

"All three," Grayfia said matter-of-factly. From the way Rias' frown deepened, she didn't like the answer.

"Given the fact that you're his Queen, I should have known you'd pull something like this," Rias gave an exasperated sigh as she placed on the remainder of her clothing. "Sorry about this, Izuku," she said to him, "I guess I wasn't thinking straight after all. Thank you for talking me out of it."

"Uh… okay," Izuku nodded dumbly.

"'Izuku'?" Grayfia echoed, looking at him with sudden interest, "So, this boy is…"

"Yes," Rias confirmed, "This is Midoriya Izuku, one of my newest additions, the one who cost me all eight of my Pawn Pieces to recruit, and bearer of the Boosted Gear."

"So he is the Red Dragon Emperor… truly curious," Grayfia said in amazement, eyes widening slightly.

"Grayfia, let's go back to my room. I will listen to what you have to say over there. Momo can also attend, yes?" Rias asked.

"Your newly acquired Queen?" Grayfia said. "That doesn't bother me. A Queen must be by their King's side at all times."

"Very well." Rias turned to Izuku and gave him a small peck on the cheek. "That's my apology for troubling you. Meet up at the club room tomorrow and I'll explain everything." After she gave her farewell, she went up next to Grayfia. The magic circle appeared underneath them both and they vanished in a blink of light. As the lights turned back to normal, Izuku stood, dumbfounded, touching the cheek where she kissed him. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice when his mom or the girls came home.

The following day, Izuku, Ochako, and Ibara were walking to the club school building. Kyoka had come along, saying something about Momo needing to meet with Rias last night. They had received a notice to report to the club room as soon as classes had finished. On their way over to the room, they met up with Yuuto. The five of them entered the building, wondering what the urgent meeting was about.

"I wonder if Buchou's worries have something to do with her family," Ibara wondered out loud.

"She has been acting a bit strangely as of late," Yuuto said, agreeing, "Perhaps now she will tell us."

"Do you think Momo-san might know?" Izuku asked.

"Considering that she's her second-in-command now, that's a given," Yuuto told him. "We won't know unless we hear what she has to say."

Izuku nodded quietly, still pretty puzzled about what happened last night. He was still wondering what could have made Rias act so irrationally to want to try and have sex with him. Though he knew he would get his answer eventually, he still couldn't help but think. On their way to the room, they came across a very large door. For some odd reason, it had police tape with the words "keep out" all over it. "What's that? I don't remember seeing that door before."

"Oh…" Yuuto frowned slightly, "That's where Buchou's first Bishop currently resides."

"Her first Bishop?" Ochako asked, turning at him.

"Oh yeah, I remember Buchou mentioning that she had one other Bishop piece," Izuku said, recalling the conversation he had with her the night he went to save Ibara.

"Yes. They're one of Buchou's original servants, but for reasons I won't elucidate Buchou was ordered to keep them here," seeing their grim expressions, he gave a kind smile, "Don't worry, they're not bad. They're actually very nice. The problem is that they… have issues and prefer not to step outside. So, they just sit in that room all day and night, and are perfectly fine with it."

"Sounds like someone needs to grow a spine," Kyoka stated.

"To be fair…" Yuuto began before he felt a sudden chill go down his spine. Agitated, he looked forward at the hallway that led to the club room. "I never felt this presence until I got here. Then that means…!" He ran to the club's door with Izuku, Ibara, Ochako, and Kyoka close behind. The door opened and the five were greeted with the sight of the remainder of their friends. Mizu stood near the entrance, leaning against the wall while Koneko sat on one of the couches, quietly enjoying an ice pop. Their master was also present and she was sitting on the couch rather than her usual desk, her arms folded, her legs crossed, and with a grim expression. The head maid, Grayfia, stood by the couch Rias was sitting on. Grayfia looked just as stoic as the last time Izuku saw her, while Momo stood in an elegant stance, but she looked very nervous.

"Looks like everyone's here," Rias said, noticing the three of them enter the room.

"Milady, shall I tell them?" Grayfia offered.

Rias shook her head. "No. As I am the King of this group I should be the one to tell them," Rias stood up and cleared her throat. "Everyone, to tell you the truth…"

Before anything more could be said, a magic circle appeared in an unoccupied space of the room. The magic circle was not red like the Gremory magic circles Izuku had seen so frequently. Instead, it was orange and seemed to give off the cry of a bird of prey. There was even a bird-like figure in the center of the circle. Everyone turned as soon the circle appeared and Rias seemed to give out an evil hiss at the sight of it.

"Phenex…" Izuku heard Yuuto whisper under his breath.

Rather than giving out a glow, flames shot out from the circle instead. Out from the tower of flames, a man appeared within.

"Ah… it's been a long time since I've last visited the human world," the man spoke, walking out from the flames as if they were air. Looking at how he carried himself, he seemed like a typical playboy. He was tall and handsome and looked to be in his early 20s and had short blond hair with dark blue eyes. Clearly, he had a lot of money since he was wearing something very expensive. He was wearing a red burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right, matching pants, and black dress shoes. Underneath the open blazer was a white dress shirt that partially exposed his chest. Looking around the room as the flame behind him vanished, he smirked as he spotted the only redhead among them, "My dear Rias, it's been so long," he said, walking over to the girl and wrapping his arm around her shoulder. Her face twisted in disgust as she shoved him off of her.

"Don't touch me so casually," Rias said coldly, "If I had my way, I'd slap you in your smug-prick face right now." Izuku, Ibara, Momo, Kyoka, and Ochako's eyes widened from how sharp her words were.

The man took it to stride as he gave a nonchalant laugh. "Hahaha… still harsh as always, love. Regardless, we must take a look at the wedding hall. We need to verify the reception date and greet our families."

"Wedding? Reception date?" Izuku frowned. From the look of Rias reaction toward the man, not to mention what she tried to do last night, everything was starting to click. He was starting to understand why she wanted to do it with him yesterday. If her purity was compromised, then she could have had some bit of freedom to herself. Seeing how carefree he was to the girl despite her obvious rejections made him really want to punch him in the face, or something like that. But someone had already beaten him to it.

"Who's the gigolo?"

Various reactions swept through the clubroom. Rias had a large smirk on her face, seeing the man's stunned face. Momo, Izuku, and Yuuto snickered quietly while Ibara gave a short yelp. Kyoka tried her best not to laugh out loud. Ochako blushed hard, not expecting her teacher to say that. Koneko gave a small grin as she snorted, while Grayfia didn't seem to react much at all. As for the man, he glared at Mizu.

"How dare you!" He hissed. "Do you have any idea who you just mocked?!"

"I most certainly do, Phenex." Mizu calmly stated.

"Please allow me to introduce to you Riser Phenex," Grayfia interjected, gesturing at the man. "He is the third son of the House of Phenex of the 72 Pillars… and he is also Lady Rias' fiancé."

'FIANCÉ!?' A majority of the group mentally screamed.

"Hm… excellent tea," Riser smiled blissfully after taking a sip from the teacup. "As expected from Rias' new Queen. I'll look forward to more soon." He was sitting on the couch with his arm around Rias, who looked like she would rather be anywhere but with him. The rest of the servants were also standing around them, each one looking almost pitiable.

Momo said nothing but gave a polite bow, likely holding her tongue. Though she did give Kyoka a wink, which the human returned before smirking. "I can only imagine what she'll serve during our wedding," Riser added.

Rias stomped her foot, "Again with that? Riser, I already told you that I will not marry you!"

"You know that isn't for you to decide," Riser said, his voice becoming serious, "As you already know, the number of pureblood devils has drastically decreased thanks to the Great War. Our marriage is vital to continue the survival of our people, as well as flourishing our households name."

Rias rubbed her temples, "You don't need to tell me that. I am well aware of my duties as heiress of my clan and I am willing to take a husband."

"So you'll-!"

"However!" she interrupted, looking at Raiser's victorious face, "The husband I want will be of my choosing. In case you have forgotten it was our parents who arranged the marriage while I didn't want any part of it. They didn't have the right of selecting someone I would spend the rest of my life with without my consent. And that man isn't you, nor will it ever be."

The Gremory servants, Mizu and Kyoka included, smiled at Rias' unyielding determination. But then the temperature started to rise up and everyone quickly took notice. A flaming aura in the shape of a bird engulfed Riser as he glared at Rias. "Your selfish opinions matter very little. As a member of the Phenex, I cannot lose face to rejection," he spoke, his cold voice contrasting with the heat. He reached out and took Rias' chin into his hand, tucking her head up to his glowing orange eyes, "One way or another I will take you back as my wife, even if it means burning your servants into ash!"

Rias' eyes glowed in an angry red, her own demonic aura starting to take shape. "If you dare touch even a single strand of hair on any of them, I'll-"

"HALT!"

Rias and Riser jumped back from each other, their aura's suddenly disappearing as they both turned to the maid, frightened. Her demonic aura leaked out of her body, easily dwarfing theirs. The room temperature went from hot to cold as Grayfia sent an icy cold glare at them. "I did not bring you both here just to incite violence. And I will not hold back if you disobey again. Am I clear?"

Izuku felt his bones shaking just from looking at Grayfia. She was a maid, yet she seemed to be stronger than both Rias and Riser combined. The latter calmly placed his hands in his pockets, trying to save face, "I know when not to challenge the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation. Honestly, Lucifer's Peerage are all abnormal, even by devil standards."

'Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation?!' Izuku thought to himself, looking at Grayfia. The aura alone told him that the woman meant business and she was someone not to be taken lightly. He made a mental note to never piss her off.

Grayfia's aura disappeared and the room temperature returned to normal as she continued, "Nevertheless, Sirzechs and the other representatives foresaw this possibility and enacted an alternate solution, if you both are willing that is."

"An alternate solution?" Rias blinked, "What you're saying is…"

Grayfia nodded, "Yes. An unofficial Rating Game will take place between the Gremory Peerage and the Phenex Peerage. Should Rias win, the engagement will be called off. But if Riser wins, the wedding will proceed."

"Che… a Rating Game," Rias frowned. "They really are content with controlling my life, aren't they?"

Riser, on the other hand, laughed confidently, "A Rating Game? That's perfectly fine with me. This will be a good opportunity to show you your place, that there is nothing that can come between us, dear Rias."

"Already so full of confidence," Rias sneered, "Very well, I will accept your challenge. This is my one chance to get my freedom and I'll enjoy knocking you off of your high horse!"

Grayfia glanced at the heirs and nodded, "Then it's decided. The Rating Game between the Gremory family and the Phenex family is confirmed. I will inform Sirzechs and both of your households."

Riser turned and glanced at the rest of the servants in the room, "Rias, are these people all the servants you have at this time?"

"Some are. What of it?" Rias asked.

Riser exploded in laughter, "Hahahaha! Surely you don't think you can win with such a small amount, do you? From what I can see, only your Queen stands a possible chance against my cute servants!"

With a snap of his fingers, a much larger orange circle appeared in the room. A flame pillar burst out of it and simmered to reveal 15 beautiful women standing in the circle. Each one of them either wore an exotic outfit or some other clothing that fulfilled a specific fetish.

"As you can see, I have a complete set," Riser boasted smugly, gesturing to the group of women. "My Pawns, Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Queen are all present."

'Holy crap,' Izuku thought. He looked at each one of the servants one by one. Some were wearing gym shorts, maid outfits, kimonos, and other things. One of them he noticed looked very similar to Riser thanks to the matching blue eyes and blond hair, and from the lovely looking purple dress she seemed to be more like a princess than a servant. If Izuku didn't know any better, he would say that she was his younger sister.

Riser casted a smirk at Rias, "Do you see this, Rias? Do you honestly think your weak servants stand a chance against mine?"

Rias casted a hateful glare at Riser. "If you ever again insinuate my peerage is weak I'll-"

"You'll do what?" Riser mocked. "Bore me into retiring? You knew very well that I've never lost a Rating Game. Aside from your Queen, all I see is a flat-chested loli, two innocent little girls who couldn't hurt a fly, a pretty boy, and an unassuming Pawn. None of them can compare to my servants."

"Do not disrespect my family, Riser! I will not tolerate that!" Rias screamed.

"Family? I see the Gremory compassion and kindness for their servants runs true in you. Very well then. When we are married, your boys will be put to work as slaves and your girls… well now, I can always use some variety in my sex life."

Izuku's mind went blank at that last bit. The high-class devil had basically admitted that he would take not just Rias, but her female servants to his bed as well. The thought of Momo, Ochako, Ibara, and Koneko forced to submit to this bastard… It just enraged him. He never felt this angry before in his life.

From the way most of the other women reacted, particularly Mizu, they too found him disgusting. Even some of Riser's own peerage seemed unamused by his declaration. Riser, seemingly noticing the anger in Izuku's eyes, spoke to him. "I seem to have offended you somehow, Pawn; should you like, I will gladly kill you in the Rating Game."

"ENOUGH RISER!" Rias screamed. "TOUCH HIM AND YOU'LL DIE!"

"Ho ho, I've seemed to have found a weakness in you, my dear. Very well then, I shall show mercy. You can train all you want before our game, but then and there I will break your pitiful toys."

"Very well then," Grayfia interjected. "Lady Rias, should you find it acceptable, the match will be held ten days after tomorrow."

"Thank you Grayfia," Rias spoke softly. "Thank you."

"It is done. Details of the game shall be sent to you both."

"It matters not! My victory is assured!" With that, Riser raised both his arms as if already celebrating his triumph. "Farewell, my dear Rias! When next we meet, we shall truly be man and wife! As for some of your servants," Riser glared at Izuku, "Well, all deaths in the Game are accidents after all-"

*Growl!*

Riser suddenly blushed. "Oh, dear…" That growl from his stomach did not sound good. As another growl emanated from him, the entire opposing peerage disappeared via orange transport glyphs in the floor. As for Grayfia, she gave a small bow before taking her leave on her magic circle. Once they were gone, Momo and Kyoka both began to snicker.

"What did you do?" Rias asked, an amused look on her face.

"It was Kyoka's idea," Momo admitted. "I added some… very strong laxatives to his tea."

"How long will it last?" Rias snickered.

"If I had to guess, maybe a couple of days."

The reactions were mixed. Rias, Ibara, and Yuuto chuckled in amusement, Koneko smirked, Ochako desperately covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing, Mizu began rolling on the floor laughing, and Izuku snickered.

Once everyone calmed down, Rias was the first to speak as she turned her gaze on Izuku, "Are you going to be okay, Izu?"

"I'll be fine," Izuku replied. "Besides, we need to get ready."

Rias nodded. "We have ten days. We all need to train hard to beat Riser."

"And I can help," Mizu offered.

Most of the devils looked at the sorcerer in surprise. "Really?" Rias blinked.

"That guy seriously irks me. Besides, as a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj it's my duty to preserve peace between the supernatural factions," Mizu grinned. "Maintaining good relations with the younger sister of the Devil King is part of that. And it would be a serious problem if that Riser guy was your husband. That, and I can't stand the thought of Chako being forced underneath him. I'll help in any way I can. I'll even come up with a training regiment for all of you if you want, Rias."

"Hehe. I'll take you up on that," Rias smiled. She turned to her servants and spoke, "Now then everyone, Momo and I will prepare a venue to train for the next ten days. So all of you go home and prepare, this is a fight we cannot afford to lose!"

"HAI!" her servants all nodded.
