Promotion Test
Exiting the teleportation circular, the young couple found themselves in the place that is very familiar to Issei in particular. It was the castle that Issei stopped Riser and started his quest for freedom and the place that led him to his beautiful girlfriend that was beside him now.
If Issei was completely honest to himself, he felt a bit of fear about what would happen when he meets some members of the Phoenix Clan. Riser in particular, and their peerage members. He could only hope that they won't hold too many grudges towards him for what he did.
Seeing his love a bit frightened, Lucy took his hand and softly put some pressure on it, to let him know that she was here by his side and that everything will go alright. She knew why he was that way and honestly, she would also feel the same way if she did what he did. But for now, she was here to support him in any way and shape, even if it means she would have to go through hell to ensure it.
With a deep breath, Issei steadied himself and with a smile and a light kiss on his lover's lips, he started heading towards the castle's gate where some guards and candidates were waiting for time to enter it. As Lucy and he made their way towards them, some of the candidates saw them and started to whisper to themselves about them which made Issei even more nervous as he thought they were going to make some harsh remarks and maybe attack him but to his surprise, it was very different.
"T-That is Red Dragon Emperor, the one that beat Riser Phenex." One blue haired devil girl whispered to the girls beside her while having a blush on her face.
"He is super hot." Another girl whispered as she also had a blush on her face.
"Y-yeah and look with who he is walking. She is beautiful, he is sure lucky to score her." A male with purple hair said making the boys nod in agreement.
"Look at her body. She is like a goddess!" Another guy said as had hearts in his eyes making Lucy giggle a bit.
"I-I know who she is...Lucy Lucifuge the Princes of Lighting and Ice, the third strongest Ice user in Underworld." One girl said finally realizing who they were talking about. And as she said Lucy's name she started to shake in fear as she stepped back a few steps.
"WHATTT!?" Some people yelled making Lucy giggle a bit more while Issei looked at her with a question mark on his head.
"Uh...did I missed something, Lucy?" Issei asked getting her to shake her head.
"No, no, no you know all that is to know about me my Master~" Lucy said seductively getting Issei to blush while the people that heard her had their eyes go wide in shock.
The girl that was said to cause Death and Destruction where ever she went was now a servant to the Red Dragon Emperor? It was something that made them start to admire Issei even more. If someone who was a devil for less than a few months managed to calm down and conquer her, then it looked like everything is possible. But the question is why a High-Class Devil of Lucy's caliber was with Low-Class like him. But they would pounder on that later.
"Excuse me, would it be all right to have your autograph?" Asked the girl with golden hair as she runs up to Issei and Lucy with pencil and notebook making them blink.
"Umm...with who?" Issei asked confused as he looked at the girl and had to admit that she was hot with an athletic body and big breasts.
"With both of you. I heard a lot of stories about Lucy the Princes of Ice and Lighting and your battle with Riser Phenex is now legendary Red Dragon Emperor." The golden-haired girl replied getting Lucy to nod as she took a pen and a notebook in her hands and put her signature on it.
"Come on love, you have a fan here. Why not make her happy and sign it?" Lucy said softly hugging him on the shoulder.
"Sure, why not. Here you go...uh." He said as he signed it and gave it to her with a smile that made the golden-haired girl happy.
"Oh my, I didn't introduce myself how rude of me. My name is Kisara a Low-Class devil, the bishop of the Amy Household. Nice to meet you Princess and Sekiryuutei." Kisara bowed to them making them do the same.
"It is pleasure to meet you Kisara, my name is Issei Hyoudou the current Sekiryuutei and Low-Class also and this beauty next to me is Lucy Lucifuge the High-Class and heiress of Lucifuge clan." Issei introduced them as Lucy waved her hand to Kisara with a soft smile on her face.
"Oh, and what he didn't tell you is that he will soon be head of a said clan." Lucy added with a wink making Issei go wide eyes while Kisara just giggled at his expression.
"Well, I would be looking forward to seeing a proclamation of the new head of Lucifuge house. But sadly, I must get ready for the written part. It was a pleasure meeting you." Kisara said with a smile as she bowed and left leaving the couple alone.
Turning towards his lover, Issei could only formulate one question and that was. "What?"
Giggling a bit, Lucy answered him with a huge smile on her beautiful face. "Well as you said, love, I'm an heiress and as such the one that I married to is going to become a head. Since my sister is Sirzechs wife and my brother… is dead I'm the only left. As such I will not change my surname but add yours to mine."
Hearing her explanation Issei just nodded after a minute of absorbing the information that she told him. He was a bit surprised when he heard that when he marries Lucy, he will become a Head but he felt that there was a catch to it.
"That is wow. So… when we marry I will become the Head of the house. That sounds cool though I sense a but here." Issei told her getting Lucy to nod with a smile on her face before it turned into a frown.
"Yes, my love you got it right. For us to marry you, will need to get to at least High-Class and we need to do a ritual to see if you are wordy of my hand. And before you say or do something, that was something my late father decided when it became clear that the war would start and there was a high chance for a lot of us to die." Lucy told him as Issei hugged her tightly making her widen her eyes a bit.
"If getting to High-Class is what is needed to ensure that we will be really forever together, then that is even a bigger reason to advance today and hopefully soon to the upper echelon." Issei told her softly before kissing her on the lips.
"Ise..." Lucy whispered as her eyes started to water a bit from his words. She couldn't describe what she was feeling. She was happy to be with him. But to hear that he would work hard to get to the point where he could get a chance to ask for her hand was something that made her happy beyond belief.
"I love you, Lucy. And for you, I will work my ass off to get to High-Class and to have you as my wife." Issei sincerely said to her making her cry from happiness she felt.
"I love you to Issei more than anything in the world." Lucy told him with tears running down her cheeks as Issei just wipe them with his thumb while smiling at her which made her heart skip a bit. Though she quickly regained her self-control and her face started to adore a mischief smile. "Oh, and when you promote I will reward you with something my love. But now you must go if you plan on getting on time for the test." Lucy said in a sultry voice, as she bit his ear lightly making him go red and shiver in pleasure as he felt her hot breath on his neck and ear.
Nodding Issei untangles himself from Lucy and started walking towards the double door that last time he blew them up in order to enter.
Finally entering a grand chamber, Issei felt nostalgia hit him as he clearly remembered what happened here not too long ago and his fight with Riser. Now that he thought about it, it was a good fight and he wouldn't mind having another one with him in a near future, as that would prove to be a good challenge to beat someone with regeneration on his own. But for now, he needed to focus on his test and promotion in order to get himself free.
Not 10 minutes later the grand chamber was filled with contestants. When the last one entered, the doors of the chamber closed, and the lights dimmed down with only light near a small balcony. From there, the magic circle appeared with a few people arriving. All of them dressed formally though what surprised Issei was two people in particular.
One of the said two was none other than Riser Phenex, in his still overconfident posture and a smug grin on his face, which made Ise grin as he wouldn't mind wiping it out again. The other was Ravel Phenex in her pink dress, that she wore during the wedding. She even had an aura of true noblewoman that Ise found a bit attractive as Ravel sure looked and acted like a mature woman. However, she did have her moments where Issei wasn't sure if Riser overconfidence rubbed on Ravel.
Though the person that took the stage left Issei in bewilderment. The person looked like Ravel with her golden hair tied in a ponytail, only more mature and with a body that easily rivalled Venelana Gremory who was in Issei's book very attractive woman. Though were Ravel had baby blue eyes, this woman on the center stage had crystal clear blue eyes that gave off the feeling like they were going to read your very soul and heart and exploit them. The woman was wearing a beautiful crimson dress with white accessories.
"Welcome everyone to this Middle-Class Promotion exam. I Sierra Phenex, the Matriarch of Phenex House, welcome you and to wish you all good luck in the coming test. I presume you were all informed on how the test is going to be. But if you forgot here is the rundown on it. First, all of you will take the written exam and you will be given 2 hours to complete. Next, you will all have an hour of rest before you will go to martial exam, were your fighting skills will be measured and tested. For your opponents, you will face other candidates and to make it fair your opponents will be randomly selected." Sierra explained it to the group of Low-Class devils in a motherly tone to ease their stress and nerves.
"Before we begin with the test, I would also like to point out that those fine men and women behind me will be there to make sure that there is no cheating or funny business during this exam. I hope that you've all studied and trained hard. The test will commence in 10 minutes. Please enter the room to your left, there we will have our exam." Sierra finished her speech before retreating into the next chamber.
As Issei and others enter the chamber that Sierra told them, he found it to be like a regular human school room with a lot of desks and seats with pieces of paper on them with a pen. Taking one of the free seats, Issei waited until he was given further instructions about what to do next as he was unsure what to do next. Luckily for him, the wait wasn't long as the Phenex family and the people that were with them entered the room, getting the loud crowd to calm down before a man and a woman stepped forward explaining what to do next.
"As it was said by Lady Phenex. You will have 2 hours to finish your test. We will patrol the room for any type of cheating or unfair advantages that might occur. You may now take your pen and start answering the questions. I repeat you have 2 hours to finish your exam best of luck and BEGIN!" The man spoke as all of the candidates took their pens and started answering the questions.

After 2 agonizing hours, Issei managed to finish his questions. He could have done it quicker, but both Elsha and Ddraig reminded him to take his time and re-read the questions. Just so that he answers correctly. When Issei asked them for help during the test both the Dragon and Princess refused to help him, stating that it would be cheating if they answer the questions for him. However, they did point out when he got the questions wrong so that he can correct the answer.
It was now the break period for the candidates that finished the first part of the test before going to combat part. As Issei was laying down on the grass near fountain, he noticed that some people were coming in his direction. Lifting his head, Issei was surprised to see that Ravel and Riser were making their way towards him with the former holding something in her hands. Getting into the seating position Issei greeted them when they were close to him.
"Oh, what do we have here Fried Chicken and his beautiful little sis. What can I do for you guys?" Issei spoke with a smirk on his face, as Riser's face burned red with anger while Ravel was red with embarrassment.
"Why you..." Riser wanted to say more, but Ravel stopped him as she stood in front of Issei, prompting him to raise his eyebrow making her to give even bigger blush on her face.
"Um… um... Sekiryuutei...um...this is for you...I hope you like it..." Ravel stuttered as she gave Issei a closed box that looked like bento.
"Um thank you Ravel, but you don't need to call me Sekiryuutei. Issei or Ise is fine that goes to you to Fried Chicken." Issei said to her softly before addressing her brother with a smug look on his face.
Hearing what Issei said made Ravel wide her eyes before she nodded slowly with a blush and a smile on her face.
"Ise..." She tested his name softly and quietly so that both males don't hear her.
"Fine, Riser will call you Issei if you stop calling Riser that stupid name." Riser answered Issei making him chuckle.
"Do I need to beat you again so that you lose that 3rd person speech?" Issei questioned with a raised eyebrow again as he summoned his gear, making Riser flinch a bit as he still had nightmares about his defeat from the Red Dragon.
"As... if you could do that..." Riser tried to sound confident. But to both Issei and Ravel, they could clearly see and hear that his confidence in front of Issei was almost none existent, though they both ignored it.
Looking at the box that Ravel gave him, Issei opened it to see what was inside of it, and to his surprise, it was a cake that from the look of it and smell must be delicious. Seeing that Ravel was looking at him, she was waiting to hear his thoughts about her present and most likely about the taste.
Deciding to put her worries to rest, Issei took the small cake that she made and took a bit of it. As soon as he tasted it, his eyes went wide as he only tasted good food from 2 more people, his mother and Lucy. But, it looked like Ravel was genius in this department also, as he felt the cake melt in his mouth with all sweet flavors filling his taste bumps with pleasure. "Ravel this is...wow I didn't know you can cook, this is fantastic." He complimented her making the poor girl have an atomic blush.
"T-thank you Ise." She barely managed to say as Issei just patted her head, prompting steam to go out of her ears making Issei chuckle as he remembered that Lucy also has the same reaction as Ravel when it comes to patting head.
"Your welcome Ravel and thanks for this delicious food." Issei said as he looked at his phone seeing that his hour break was almost over, and the next part of his test was about to take place. "Well looks like my break is over. See you, later guys." With that said Issei completely stood up and started to head to the castle only too stop when Ravel called him.
"Issei...umm...would you mind having some tea and cake with me some time in a near future?" She shyly asked him while blushing prompting him to look at her before he smiled and nodded his head making her blush even more while smiling from ear to ear.
"Sure, if you treat me to this delicious food, I'm more than happy. But now sadly I must get going. Bye." He said as he turned around and was about to walk away but stooped again as Riser this time called him.
"Issei, our mother would like to talk to you after the exam, when you finish your fight do come here again and someone will come to take you to her." Riser explained prompting Issei too look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Why would she want to talk to me?" He questioned.
"Don't know, she asked us to give you her message and she said that she hopes that she could have a chance to talk to you." Riser replied getting Issei to surge.
"Fine, I will do it." With this answer, Issei finally left for his combat trail leaving the brother-sister duo to go back to their own devices.

As Issei entered the great chamber again, he was in his thought about what Lucy said to him, it was something he looked forward to doing though, knowing how devils operated it was definitely something loony that would await him when he decided to take her as a wife. Though before he could pounder about it more. Lady Phenex, or should he say, Sierra, entered the room again followed by same men and women that were with her before.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for doing the first exam without even a single unfair or unworthy thing. You have my gratitude. Now onto the 2nd part of this exam. The combat will be done on the open field just behind the castle, and like I told you earlier the combatants for this will be randomly selected to give fairness to all of you. Now, don't you all worry, even if you lose the battle, give it your best. You can still pass of course if your written part is good to get to Middle-Class. It is known that nobody is good in everything, some of you may excel in combat while some may in the brain. Now if you all follow me to the next field." With that said all of them exited the castle and went to the battlefield.

"The winner of the battle is Teodor, candidate 557." The referee announced as the small green haired devil bowed to his opponent and to the older devils and withdraw from the field.
"Next fight is between Issei Hyoudou of the Gremory Household and Minamoto Samata of the Amy Household. Both combatants are Pawn pieces as such you are allowed to promote into the piece you want." The Referee announced again as both Issei and his opponent came out on the field.
Looking at his opponent, Issei could see that male in front of him looked a bit similar to him. Minamoto was a bit taller and skinnier than him and where Issei had brown hair and brown eyes, he had black hair with black eyes giving an eerily look that made Issei sweat a bit.
Both of them quickly took their battle stances and waited for other to make the move, while they awaited the announcement to begin this battle. Issei was told by Raven that he was forbidden from using his gear to boost up before the fight as that would give a very large disadvantage to others. So Issei did what he was told and didn't summon his gear at all the whole wait for his battle.
[Partner, are you going to use Balance-Breaker?] Ddraig asked as he was also waiting for the start of the battle, so he can help his partner.
(Honestly Ddraig, how can Issei know if he is going to use it? Issei dear, I suggest you hold off as much as you can on that until you know what you are up against. For all we know, he could be someone that can use your power against you. First go with your boost then if necessary go into Balance-Breaker.) Elsha said as she scolded Ddraig for his battle hungriness, while he was good and kind, when a fight was at hand he can be a bit too much to handle.
"Ddraig my pal, as much as what you said is preferable. I will go with what Elsha said since its more logical. Though if need be, I will use it." Issei answered his partner making the Dragon sigh.
[Fine I expect for you to kick his sorry ass.] Ddraig said.
'Don't worry I will.'
"Begin!" As soon as Issei finished his little talk with his comrades the announcement was made as both Issei and Minamoto shouted their pieces.
"Promotion Queen/Bishop!"
"So you are a magic user?" Issei asked as he brought up his gauntlet and Ddraig starting the boost immediately.
"Yes, I am. And I see I had an honor of facing the Red Dragon I hear stories about. I look forward to our duel. I do hope you don't disappoint me." Minamoto answered in a cold voice with a smile that creeped the hell out of Issei.
"Enough chit-chat!" Issei yelled as he lunged at his opponent with full speed.
Minamoto for his part just stood calmly in his place, waiting for Issei to come. As soon as Issei was close to his liking Minamoto disappeared from sight, prompting Issei to stop and look for his opponent which turn to be a bad mistake as he was showered by spells of all kind making him dodge and block.
"Interesting… looks like you are sturdier than expected. This will be better than I hoped." Minamoto said, his voice coming all around Issei making it hard for him to detect him.
"Why you... just because you got first blood on me don't mean I'm out!" Issei shouted as he started to power up, even more, making some lower-class devils present to start shiver from his power.
"Is that so? I'm still waiting for your attack little Emperor." Minamoto taunted as he again unleashed a volley of spells at Issei, who this time created a wall of power around him with his aura making the shots to explode on contact.
"Don't count me out just yet. I still have lots to go. And let's see you handle this move!" Issei responded to his taunt with his own, as he took a big breath in him before unleashing his fire attack that caused the judges to put up barriers to prevent the fire going towards the other combatants.
Seeing that his attack the whole place on fire, Issei waited for something to happen. He didn't have a long wait as he heard the sound of water evaporating and steam coming out. Smirking Issei collected his energy into his signature Dragon Shot before unleashing it at Minamoto who barely had a chance to put up his barrier up to protect himself.
"Hmm... not so tough when detected aren't you?" Issei asked arrogantly as he knew that this was his moment to unleash hell on this man.
"That may be, but I still have range superiority and a lot of more of spells to fight back." The black-haired bishop answered, as he again created a few circles and fired his magic at Issei, who thought it was a good time to unleash his trump card and win this now.
"Not gonna happen this time, Ddraig!" Issei yelled as his Booster Gear shined brightly with Ddraig's voice roaring with power.
[Welsh Dragon, Balance-Breaker!]
"Time to crank up the firepower!" Issei roared as his body was engulfed in his aura before it exploded countering Minamoto's attack like it was nothing.
As the aura disappeared, in place where Issei was standing, now stood a red armored plated man with his tail and wings out giving a terrifying look toward others who never seen it and to those who did could only shiver in fear as they remembered the power that armor gave to its user. Issei feeling that something popped out of his back give a side look towards it and was in shock as he saw that he now had his Dragon wings.
'Guys, I have Dragon wings?' How? I thought I need to wait a few more months.'
(That is easy dear, the more you got stronger the faster your wings grow. In your fight with Kokabiel, you hit that threshold and your wings have grown. Though since after your battle you didn't use your Balance-Breaker you didn't know) Elsha answered him making Issei nod mentally.
With his little conversation over, Issei lifted off into the air as and started to generate a huge amount of power into his hands, making younger and older devils scared a bit while Phenex Family looked in interest what will the young Sekiryuutei do next with only Riser shiver a bit from the power Issei emitted.
"Twin Dragon Shot, Full Power Destruction!" Issei and Ddraig roared together as Issei fired of his powerful twin prone attack making Minamoto put up the strongest barriers he could master.
As the shots were sent towards Minamoto, Issei used that chance to quickly get behind him just as his attack hit his opponent's barriers. With his opponent concentrating on the barriers, Issei sent a powerful kick into his gut making Minamoto lose his concentration on the barrier, weakening them as the shots pass through them hitting him and thus ending the battle.
"The winner of the battle is Issei Hyoudou, candidate 559." The referee announced as Issei patted his opponent on the back, and bowed towards the referee and started making his way towards the garden. Leaving a lot of people to stare at his figure as he was walking away from them.
'He is strong and interesting. I hope I will meet you again Sekiryuutei.' One girl with white hair thought as she was still looking in Issei's direction with a small smile on her face.

It took a few more hours for the exam to finish completely, and now Issei was in the chamber with Lady Phenex and Ravel. While the Lady Phenex had a calm and peaceful face, Ravel's face was red as Issei's Balance-Breaker.
"What do I owe a pleasure of meeting you Lady Phenex?" Issei respectively asked making the Matriarch of the Phenex Household to smile at him.
"First you don't need to call me that, you can call me Sierra. Secondly, I want to congratulate you on your promotion to Middle-Class. Before you say something, I will let you know that you did very good in your written part and your combat has inspired a lot of the Low-Class. Those who fought after you had went full power. Because of you, we saw a lot of potential and even discovered some hidden powers in others. I thank you for that and your King should receive your promotion sheet tomorrow morning, but I thought it would be nice to tell you this now." Sierra said making Issei go wide eyes as he couldn't help but smile before loudly shouted in happiness, making Sierra smile at his cheerfulness.
"YESSSSS! But wait, I thought you guys would hate me for what I did at the wedding party." Issei said after his yelled of happiness was over.
"Oh my, you don't need to worry about that, while we are not happy for the missed marriage we are not going to blame you wholly on it. In fact, we are a bit happy that you put Riser in his place as he is now less… how could I put it in your human terms… ah yes! less of a jerk towards those of lower classes. In fact, he is behaving nicely towards others." Sierra explained making Issei sigh in relief.
"That is good to hear really." Issei said feeling a bit at ease.
"Umm... Ise... there is also one more thing that my mother called you here for." Ravel shily said her face going even redder.
"Hmm...?" Issei hummed making Sierra giggle a bit.
"Why yes, you see after that battle with Riser, I traded my bishop piece with him for Ravel, so in essence, Ravel is now free. What I want to say is that when you hit the High-Class, I would gladly trade her with you, as I have a feeling that you will be a good influence to her and Lucy Lucifuge could help her learn a lot. Yes, I saw Lucy and know her very well and I'm glad that she is now back to her former self." Sierra told him making his eyes go wide before he nodded his head.
"You sure that is a good idea to have Ravel in my peerage? I will be glad to have her with me, but I think it's better for her to choose if she wants to have me as her master. Then forcing her to accept it." Issei said making Ravel go wide eyes at his declaration. While Sierra again just giggled.
"I see that you respect what other people think and feel. I'm sure that Ravel will be very happy to join you. And I have a small gift for you Sekiry..." Sierra tried to finish it but Issei stopped her.
"Please just call me Issei or Ise, I'm not one for titles." Issei told her getting her to nod.
"Very well Issei, like I said, I have a gift for you, think of it as my husband's and mine way of saying that all is well between the house of Phenex and Hyoudou." With that said Sierra nodded towards Raven who quickly stood up and left the room before returning with a small package giving it to Issei.
"Um... here Ise this is for you." Ravel shily told Issei who smiled and patted Ravel on the head prompting her to have atomic blush and steam coming from her ears at his gesture.
"Thank you very much." Issei said getting Ravel to nod.
"You can open it if you like." Ravel quickly said getting Issei to nod.
Opening the package, Issei was left speechless, in his hand he was holding three bottles of Phenex tears that from what Lucy told him was very rare and expensive. Quickly looking towards Sierra, Issei tried to say something but she beat him to it.
"Before you say anything, know this. While they are rare and expensive, we do have a storage of them for emergency and 3 bottles of them are not going to harm us or the market so take them. They will be more at use with you than sitting here." She told him getting Issei to just nod his head before smiling.
"I have no words to describe what I feel. Thank you very much for this. If you need my help I will gladly help you all. But sadly, I must return home, I wish you farewell." Issei said as he stood up and bowed to Sierra before Ravel escorted him towards the exit where he called Lucy to come for him.

It didn't take long for Lucy to appear near Issei and Ravel who were wait for her. Seeing her Love Lucy smiled gently hugging him tightly.
"How did it go dear?" Lucy asked while releasing him a bit to look at him for any injuries.
"It went perfect, I will tell you more later. I would like you to meet the youngest daughter of the House of Phenex. Ravel Phenex" Issei told her before introducing Lucy to Ravel who was a bit frightened by the girl in front of her.
Lucy was well known after all in the underworld and was considered a powerhouse in her own right with enough power to fight almost anyone. So being frightened by her was something that was considered normal. Though to Ravel's shock and relief Lucy treated her kindly and with respect.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ravel, I'm Lucy Lucifuge the heiress of the House of Lucifuge and Issei's girlfriend I hope we get along." Lucy said with a bow towards the younger girl.
"T-the pleasure is all mine, Lucy, I heard a lot of stories about you." Ravel frightfully said.
"Ravel, don't worry. Lucy will not hurt you, what you heard about her was war stories that are normal to be a bit dark, she is a really nice person, but she still has her… let's say bad side to those she doesn't like." Issei said calming Ravel a bit.
"True, I do not like that red-haired bitch but I will refrain from harming her, well that is until Rating game with her. Hehehehe..." Lucy said with a scary laughter making both Issei and Ravel to take a few steps back from the heiress.
"Umm...Lucy, I think its best we go home, I'm a bit tired and hungry. See you later Ravel." Issei quickly said while taking Lucy's hand bringing her back from her malice thought about hurting Rias.
"Yes, my King. Till next time Ravel, do stop by for some tea when you can." With that said Lucy teleported Issei and her to his house.
'I will need to start training if I wish to become one that will be worthy of being in Issei's peerage." Ravel thought to herself seeing Lucy calling Issei her King and knowing the meaning behind those words.
Done.
A/N Feel free to PM if you have questions or suggestions. I'm all ears. As always leave a review if you are enjoying the story or not.
I hope you liked this little turn of events. While some people suggested using Ruval as Issei's opponent I figured it would be better to go in different way. Also, I'm sure you noticed Riser was there and not covering in his room. I found it pathetic what the creator of DxD did. One defeat isn't enough to crush your hopes and to make you weak as a pussy. So I made it that he was present and fine. Though he is still afraid of Issei but not to that point of runing away from him.
