Chapter 16 The Final Test: The End of the Training Arc

The Next Day

Anos stayed in the room with Mittelt all night to make sure death didn't try and steal her soul again but for the rest of the night, nothing happened so when Mittelt awoke around the time he expected her the wake-up.

So he was pleasantly surprised to see that she was sleeping in Anos's bed and was equally surprised to see him sitting in a couch chair staring at her with indifferent eyes, "umm…why are you staring at me like that is there something on my face."

Anos says nothing and just continues to look at her then his eyes glow for a few seconds then he smiles warmly, "I'm just checking to see if your soul was still yours. Mittelt's eyes widen in surprise she then messages her temple slightly trying to remember the events coming up short since she can only remember going to Ajuka's private laboratory, "what happened I can't remember anything except going to Ajuka Laboratory?"

Anos then got up from the couch chair to sit next to Mittelt on the bed and then explained everything that happened last night, "so you saved me again thanks," but Anos just shook his head, "not yet part of your soul is still gone."

MIttelt was about to say it was fine but Anos continued, "I promise that I will get your soul back one way or another." Mittelt felt relief but when she looked into Anos's eyes she saw nothing but the pure rage that was being held back by a caring smile on her face, "hey Anos I'm okay, so don't do anything reckless."

He didn't say anything and just stood from the bed, "come on it's almost time for training," Mittelt then got up from the bed and followed right behind Anos looking at his back with a curious gaze.

Transition to End of the Training Seven Day Training Session

After Anos's meeting with Death, he nor Mittelt ever had any more dreams, so this led Anos to believe that death was waiting for him but at the moment he was preoccupied with helping his sister.

So he told Mittelt that he would have to put retrieving her soul on hold for the moment but Mittelt was okay with that. Since after Anos made that promise there was nothing but rage in his eyes but no one could see it but her. Since Anos was really good at hiding his emotions from people, so when she would ask him about it he would just smile and brush her off saying it's nothing.

So after that Mittelt stopped asking since it was apparent that Anos was not going to say anything and only hoped that he wouldn't do anything reckless because there was something she learned from Anos when she looked at his memories.

He is more than willing to destroy entire towns, cities even countries for the sake of protecting his people and if Anos views her as part of his people. After thinking that a small shudder went down her spine thinking he would probably destroy the entire world just to do it.

After the seven-day training regiment that Anos put his sister's peerage through they were able to grow a lot since the first day they started. Although they didn't make any major leaps and bounds they did improve their basic abilities to their finest.

Koneko and Mittelt continued to grow stronger together since they spent oat of their time training together to help Asia and sparing with each other but Anos flipped how they would be spared. Making Mittelt only fight Koneko physically and having Koneko only use long-range attacks while they fought.

After a while, Mittelt dubbed Koneko her rival but Koneko denied it saying that she only had one, after hearing that Mittelt wanted to know why she couldn't be a rival, and Koneko just told her that she wasn't a threat to her.

Next is Asia, whenever she wasn't studying the book on human anatomy she used her time to get better at creating barriers and the self-defense moves she learned from Koneko since she lacked any ability to defend herself which was a major weakness in battle.

So in the first half of the day, Anos had her practice on her barriers, and in the second half of the day, he had Koneko train her on some self-defense tactics then whenever she had free time she was studying the book. At first, she was a little reluctant about physically fighting someone but after being convinced by Rias and Anos that was the best thing for her she relented.

Asia barriers now were strong enough to repeal most mid-level attacks and she learned at least two self-defense moves one for if someone ever grabbed her from behind or if she was attacked from the front.

For Kiba he was able to create three new demonic swords, the first sword was one that could create a barrier small barrier when impelled into the ground. The sword was a bulky long sword, the blade itself was wider than normal and had a golden guard while the hilt had a blue cloth wrapped around it for the grip.

The next sword is a blade that is laced with poison, but what really made the sword dangerous was the fact that he could change the poison depending on the situation. The sword was a rapier that was completely purple and much thinner than a normal rapier and the guard swirled around the hilt resembling that of the Inland Taipan the most venomous snake in the world.

The last word was the one Kiba liked the most it was a katana one side was black while the other side was completely white. Both sides had words on them in Japanese, on the black side it said reflect on the other side it said adsorb. Just like the wording on the swords they do exactly that reflect and adsorb magical attacks from opponents.

But a drawback of using the sword was that it could only deflect and absorb a certain amount of magic and that depended on the user. Once Kiba created this sword he instantly wanted to try it out on Anos.

{Flash Back}

Kiba had just defeated the wooden Golem after an agonizing hour of fighting it tooth and nail, Kiba was now running to the part of the forest where he just saw Issei go flying up from into the air. After running for five minutes he reaches the area where Anos was, "Lord Anos I created a new word I want you to try out."

Anos stops his onslaught on Issei and turns to look at Kiba behind him, "really let me see," Kiba then pulls out the sword and puts it in Anos's hand and he reads aloud the words on the sword, "reflect…and adsorb," Anos then hands Kiba back the sword.

"Let me guess you want to test this sword on me like you did the rest," Kiba then bows respectfully, "yes sir," Issei then lunges out of the forest to try and punch Anos in the back but Anos doesn't turn around and just grabs him by the throat and turns his head slightly to look at him out the corner of his eye. "You must have a short memory because I know for a fact that I told you that if you want to catch someone by surprise you should definitely stay silent about it."

"Oh yes…I remember I will do better," Anos smirks then tosses Issei into the sky making Issei scream for his mother as he goes flying, Anos then turns his attention toward Kiba who was patiently waiting with a nervous smile, "now what do you want me to do defend or attack either is fine with me?"

Kiba then smirked while taking a defensive stance, "both," then lunged in a burst of speed using his knife piece to its fullest effect, Kiba brings down his sword upon Anos then tries to anticipate his next move, "if Anos leans to the left I'll tilt the blade to the right and stop short enough not to kill him and the same for the opposite side."

As Kiba's blade comes closer to Anos's face, Kiba starts to rethink his idea since Anos didn't move and just looked on impassively, "wait is he not going to move," Kiba's blade was now inches from Anos's face and yet he still hadn't moved.

Anos then disappears in a blur to Kiba's surprise, then he swings around and puts his sword in front of him ready to counterattack. Kiba then starts to sweat slightly because he couldn't sense Anos anywhere then he saw four bright lights in front of him.

Then the lights started to glow brighter then Kiba narrowed his as and finally realized that they were fireballs the size of basketballs coming toward him. The first fireball then comes close enough for Kiba to slash then he brings his sword down upon it and goes flying up to the sky.

Kiba then tracks the fireball and see's Anos floating in the sky with Issei in his arms, "interesting I was curious if the attack would reflect back to the location it came from or to the person who cast it." Anos dodges slightly to the right as the fireball flies past him, "Kiba I hope you haven't forgotten about the other ones."

Thanks to that reminder Kiba finally realizes that the remaining fireballs are still coming toward him. Kiba then sticks the sword in the air and the fireballs changed their trajectory as they fly towards the sword and grow smaller and smaller until they disappear into the sword as the white side starts to glow.

"I'm assuming that glow means that the sword has maxed out on the amount of magic that it can absorb," Kiba then looks at the glow curiously and then slashes toward Anos as a six-foot-long surge of pure devil magic comes flying towards Anos at high speeds.

A barrier then forms in front of Anos as he blocks the attack but thinks to himself as he looks at the sword with more interest, "so the sword can reflect and absorb other magics besides devil magic." Two of the fireballs that Anos created earlier were created using demonic magic, "that sword of yours Kiba is very interesting."

Kiba then smirks, "thank you Lord Anos that means a lot coming from but," then Kiba points his sword at Anos in a challenging manner with a smirk on his face, "do you plan on staying up there, or are you too scared to face me head-on."

Anos smirks while raising an eyebrow, "there is nothing in this world that I fear but if you want to challenge me then I don't mind entertaining you." Anos floats to the ground with an unconscious Issei who seems to have passed out from the shock of sky diving to his death.

A wooden sword then forms in Anos's hand causing Kiba to raise an in confusion, "don't look at me like that you are nowhere near ready to face me with a real sword." Kiba's eye's narrow slightly and tries to catch Anos off guard but to his surprise, Anos blocks his attack and his eyes widen as his sword cracks slightly, "oops looks like I should have held back more."

Kiba smirks then backs away slowly while tossing the sword then creates two new swords, "I never knew you were a swordsman, I always thought you were a caster." Anos then swings the sword around on his wrist with a smirk, "there are a lot of things you don't know about me."

{Flash Back End}

Issei is the person who improved the most out of everyone since Anos took it upon himself to personally train Issei since he had no combat or magic capabilities but he did have a strong drive to get stronger for the sake of Rias.

Which Anos found was one of his very few redeeming qualities since he was a pervert and would stare at his mother lustfully but after the third day of being sent to that island. Issei learned to not stare at his mom and just decided to close his eyes and try his hardest to not think about her sexually.

At Issei's current strength he is able to boost his power twenty-five times to the max, thanks to Anos making him wake up early in the morning a run-up and down the mountain ten times while boosting his power. He also had him boost his power while he was training him on fighting and dodging during his evasion training which helped him focus on boosting power while still fighting.

Anos told him a smart opponent wouldn't give him the time to boost his first so he needs a way to by time in order to build enough strength to get stronger.

{Flash Back}

Issei was currently sparing with Anos trying to get a clean hit in on him, Issei jumps into the air to try and kick Anos on the right side of his head. But Anos uses his left hand to catch his leg but Issei was expecting that and brings down his gauntlet on Anos's head but Anos twist his body thing off Issei's balance and tosses him into a tree.

Issei shakes his head to try and focus his vision then his eyes widen as he rolls to the right to dodge a lightning strike aimed at his head. Issei then runs around Anos trying to dodge his lightning strikes coming from a blue magic circle hovering over Anos's head.

"Boost," Ddraig's voice then rings out as Issei reaches his thirteenth boost, then thinks to himself, "this isn't enough power I need at least one more boost." "Boost," Issei then smirks as he reaches his fourteenth boost, Issei then transfers some of the power he built up into his legs to run faster and disappears into a blur.

He then reappears behind Anos with two red orb's in the front of his hand, he punches one of the orbs and a destructive beam of devil magic shoots at Anos's back. Then he grabs the last one as he starts to boost his power some more as he repositions him and just as he expected Anos blocks the attack with a barrier.

During that time Issei was able to boost his power three more times and he transfers some more power into the orb and then throws it to catch Anos off guard. Anos then outstretches his other arm and catches his red orb making Issei scream in rage, "that's cheating." Anos raises an eyebrow, "and why is that," Issei then points to the red orb, "why did you catch it…it was supposed to explode?"

Anos tosses the orb and it explodes after hitting the ground, "who knows it's probably because it was defective. So what will you do know now that you know that your attack was meaningless…will you give up…fall into despair…lay down your life…tell me Issei what will you do?"

"Fuck no," Issei then wipes some sweat off of his forehead as he starts to smirk, "I will never give up when my president needs me the most." Anos smirks, "excellent that's what I wanted to hear," Anos then gestures for Issei to come to him and Issei lunges toward Anos with his fist reeled back.

{Flash Back End}

After the seven days of training with Anos, Issei had made significant progress compared to where we once were at the beginning of the week. Even Ddraig was surprised by his progression and even stated that Issei was close to awakening his balance breaker but when Anos asked what Issei needed to do to awaken it.

Ddraig just shook his head saying it's hard to say it's different for all of his hosts then went further to explain that one of his hosts awakened their balance breaker as soon as he was born while another never awakened his balance breaker after dying of old age.

So what Anos summarized was that Issei needed a catalyst to awaken it but Anos had doubts that Issei would awaken it in time for the rating game. Lastly was Rias and Akeno for the entire seven days Rias had a completely horrible time and hated every moment that she had to train with her mother.

But she did find some happiness in the fact that Akeno was there to give her moral support but the support was minimal since she was in the same boat as her. Venelana for her part didn't hold back when it came to her daughter and her queen's training.

She taught Rias how to focus and condense her power more just like her and Sirzech do instead of just releasing it, although she still couldn't control anywhere near as close as her mother since she was still an immature devil.

For Akeno Venelana couldn't really teach her on how to control her lighting better since the only magic she could use was her power of destruction but did give her advice and techniques on how to use it effectively. Although Venelana did try to convince her to at least think about training with Mittelt but every time she would just give an excuse on why she couldn't do that.

{Flash Back}

At the moment Rias and Akeno had their hands extended forward towards Venelana with skeptical looks in their eyes, "mom are you sure about this." Venelana twirls her staff planting on the ground, "trust me Rias I doubt either one of you will be able to damage me even if I wasn't wearing this armor."

Akeno and Rias glance at each other and shrug as they start to power their attacks, Akeno then fires a focused beam of lighting toward Venelana as Rias fires off a destructive stream of the power of destruction toward her mother as well.

Venelana doesn't move and just smirks at the attacks coming toward her then her staff starts to glow crimson as she twirls it in front of her at high speeds. Creating a makeshift barrier in front of her as she blocks the attacks with ease as she starts to walk forward making both girls widen their eyes in surprise.

"Is that all you girls have…I thought you would put up more of a fight," Venelana than lifts her hand to the sky as ten balls of destruction form. A smirk then forms on her face, "I think the both of you should move or this will hurt." Akeno and Rias extend their wings and take off in the opposite direction at high speeds away from the attack.

Venelana stop twirling her staff and points in the direction of Rias and Akeno as five balls of destruction go flying toward each girl. Rias and Akeno decide to outfly the balls of destruction but it proved useless as the balls kept coming after them so they decided to just destroy them.

"Akeno let's try and destroy them because we will be flying forever," Akeno nods, and both girls turn around to face the attacks head-on as Akeno starts to gather lighting as Rias gathers her power of destruction. But unfortunately, Venelana's balls of destruction are a lot more powerful than Rias so it won't be easy to destroy them.

After a drooling thirty minutes of trying to destroy all ten balls, Akeno and Rias were completely exhausted hovering in the sky. "Girls come down I need to speak with you," Akeno and Rias fly towards the ground and land in front of Venelana as her staff disappears into a magic circle, "tell me how do you think you did?"

Both girls glance at each waiting for the other to respond so Rias decides to go first, "well it took us an hour to destroy just five…so I would say okay I guess," Venelana nods then looks to Akeno and she speaks next. "My answer is the same as Rias," Venelana nods silently and thinks for a few seconds about what to say next.

"This may come across as rude but it's the truth but neither of you are ready for this fight," "mother you can't be serious," but Venelana just raises her hand up stopping Rias from speaking. "Rias when it comes to combat you are lacking and you are nowhere close to mastering your power but that isn't your fault.

The blame lies with me and you're brother for not teaching you." Rias then looks toward the ground in disappointment knowing that her mother was right, if she had better control of her power she could probably handle Riser all on her own.

Venelana then turns to Akeno with a sorrowful eye and she looks away already knowing what she was going to say, "Akeno…I think you know what I am going to say?" "Yes ma'am… you're probably gonna say I need to use my father's power," "yes holy magic was created to kill devils so the best way to counter Riser's healing factor is to use holy magic."

Rias turns to Akeno after hearing the frustration in her voice, "it's okay Akeno I have a few plans on how to defeat Riser that doesn't involve you using your other half." Akeno turns to Rias and gives her a caring smile but Venelana mentally sighs knowing that this would be a lot easier if she would use her power but that is a decision Akeno needs to make.

{Flash Back End}

It was currently the seventh day two days before the rating game, currently, everyone was sitting at the dinner table eating right after Venelana left for the night, "okay now I will tell you what's going to happen tomorrow."

Everyone stops eating and then turns their attention towards Anos awaiting him to continue, "You all will be fighting me, I will allow you to use anything to take me down." Kiba and Akeno had eager smirks on their faces with Koneko's smirk being a lot smaller but it was still noticeable, Asia and Issei were a little nervous after their first encounter with fighting Anos.

While Rias just rolled her eyes, "you just want to show off again," Anos chuckles then speaks, "no but I do need to see the fruits of your labor." Rias glances at Akeno noticing that she was unnaturally calm but decides to stay silent, then Mittelt taps his shoulder catching his attention.

"What will I be doing," "unfortunately you need to sit this one out because I want to gauge their strength alone," Mittelt nods in understanding and says nothing further. Anos then turns back to everyone at the table to continue, "now does anyone have any questions?"

His question was met with silence and he gets up from the dinner table, "well if that's all I have business elsewhere but I should be back by tomorrow." Koneko tubs his sleeve, "where are you going," Anos then pats her hand, "don't worry I'll be back, I don't expect what I'm doing to take long anyway."

Koneko lets go and he nods then walks out the dining room and out the door to see Ophis standing outside waiting on him. "Is he at the meeting place," Ophis nods, "yes they are at the meeting place are you ready?" Anos nods with a smirk, "yea let's get going I don't want to Keep the infamous white dragon emperor waiting."

A teleportation circle then forms underneath Ophis then Anos steps into it and in a flash of purple, they teleport away to the underworld. They reappear in a forest with a clearing just a few feet in front of them, Anos then walks into the clearing while taking a look under the moonlight sky.

"So how long do all plan to stay in the trees," his question was met with laughter from a male voice. Then four shadows emerge from the forest, "well if it isn't the infamous Anos Gremory," "he's a lot taller than I thought…nya."

"Quiet this could be a trap keep your guard up," "Calm down brother I already cast a multilayered barrier around the area so no one is getting in or out without consent." The four individuals stop just a few feet away from Anos and Ophis checking him up and down, Anos was about to break the silence but Kuroka does it by saying, "what's that smell?"

She then starts to sniff the air while walking towards Anos, "I know this smell…it's Shirone." Her eyes widen as the smell of her sister was all over Anos and her face changes to rage, "what did you do to my sister?" Anos raises an eyebrow as Kuroka's aura starts to rise to match her anger, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Anos then looks toward Ophis for an explanation, "Kuroka is a Nekomata," he then turns back to Kuroka. "Oh you must mean Koneko…it has been a while since I…" "shut your mouth you disgusting devil," Anos raises an eyebrow after hearing the pure rage and disgust in her voice.

"I thought she would be safe in the Gremory Family but it appears I was wrong," A purple magic circle then forms behind Kuroka as her nails grow sharp, "once I kill you I'm gonna kill your sister then," but Kuroka stops as her aura dies down as an enormous amount of killing intent makes her take a step back.

She looks around cautiously then slowly looks at Anos with his hair casting a shadow over his eyes but his eyes were glowing red. The rest of the Vali team takes a defensive stance in front and next to Kuroka as they now all feel devastating about of killing intent was now focused on them too.

Anos takes a step forward as everyone else cautiously takes a step back except for Vali but internally he wanted to leave, "I will say this once and never again so listen closely. You threaten my sister again then you will pay for it dearly, second I did not seduce your sister or do anything sexual."

The killing intent then disappears as Anos's eyes stop glowing furiously as his relaxed demeanor comes back, "now shall we begin the meeting…what did you want to talk about?"

The Vali team regains their composure after the killing intent Anos was releasing dies down, "I don't about everyone else but I wanted to know why Ophis is so interested in you? Just a few months ago the gap was all she talked about but now she talks about it less and less to the point where it's not the only thing on her mind."

Anos crosses his arms then looks down to Ophis then back to Vali, "hard to say…all I said was that I would help but it seems there something about me that she finds intriguing." Vali's eyes narrow slightly then glances down at Ophis who was staring at Anos impassively, she turns her attention toward Vali after noticing her gaze.

"Speak…why are you staring at me," Vali sighs and shakes his head, "nothing," Vali had more questions but decided to stay silent for now. The next to speak was Lefay with a cheerful smile, "me I have a question…" Anos looks to Lefay and nods to her, "what are your magic affinities?"

"My affinity is fire but I can use air, earth, water, and lightning," Lefay was about to thank Anos for answering her question but Anos wasn't done, "I can also use branching elements like ice and lava." Sparkles form in Lefay's eyes, "that's freaking amazing…you know all five elements along with the branching elements."

Anos lifts his hand while opening his palm to reveal a Gremory magic circle forming then after a few seconds a small spark of fire along with the rest of the elements he said he could use. Lefay walks toward the elements swirling around Anos's magic circle, "Lefay calm yourself," Lefay nervously rubs the back of her head and chuckles slightly, "oh yea sorry about but I do have one more question can I see one of your original spells."

Anos closed to contemplate if he should then after a few seconds decided to, Anos reopens his eyes and then starts to levitate off the ground to everyone's surprise. The fact that Anos could fly wasn't a shocker but the fact that he was flying without his devil wings, "what the fuck actual flying magic."

Lefay then started to foam at the mouth then her eye's rolled into the back of her head with a satisfied smile on her face while muttering, "Anos is so freaking cool." Arthur sighs and bows graciously, "apologies for my sister she is a big fan and even a part of your fan union," Anos raises an eyebrow in curiosity at the fact that he has a fan union but decided to ignore it in the end.

Bikou then walks forward as Arthur walks to a nearby tree allowing her to lay with her back to it, "so why are you working behind go the scenes like this instead of doing it out in the open?" "Although I am no longer the heir to the Gremory family that doesn't mean I can do what I want. So I am doing this to make sure my family is safe while not acting openly."

Bikou nods as Kuroka asks a question, "I'm next," she coughs into her hand to clear her throat, "I had another question but I want to know how is my sister is she okay." Anos smiles slightly, "she is doing better now but everything from that day still haunts her. Also…" Ano's eyes then narrow slightly, "I don't know what happened that day but I can tell from what Koneko told me that some things don't add up."

Kuroka turns away as guilt forms on her face, "I didn't mean to…" but Anos just lifts his hand, "you don't need to explain it to me, Koneko is the one that needs to hear whatever you have to say." "I would but I don't think the time is right," she then looks back to Anos with slight resentment, "but I will definitely come back for her in due time."

Anos chuckles slightly causing Kuroka to raise an eyebrow, "don't mind me but I wouldn't mind watching the exchange between you two." Anos then looks at the rest of the Vali Team, "now does anyone have any more questions," but his question was met with silence as they look at each other. Anos was about to tell Ophis it was time to leave but Vali speaks up getting his attention, "I want to fight here and now."

To emphasize his point Vali summons his balance breaker, "I'm not taking no for answer," Anos smirks and just nods his head by raising his hand, "not now but soon I promise you that." Vali releases his balance breaker and nods to everyone's surprise, "what the heck Vali all that shit you were saying about fighting him as soon you saw him, and now after a simple promise you relent."

"It's fine I can tell Anos is a devil who keeps his word unlike some devils," Anos then turns to leave but Vali continues, "but next time I request for a battle Anos you will give it to me." Anos and Ophis then teleport away from the Vali Team leaving them all looking at Vali in disbelief, "Vali what's going on that explanation you gave was BS wasn't it."

Vali looks at Arthur out the corner of his eye and then speaks, "Albion would you like to explain," two Dragon wings burst from his back as Albion speaks. "I informed Vali that he should train more because during your encounter with the devil I couldn't sense his magical power.

Which either meant his power was too small for me to sense or he was depressing his own power to the extent that not even I could sense which could mean that he is a lot stronger than what anyone probably know."

Bikou burst into laughter whipping away a few tears, "what the heck is that suppose to mean," Arthur then rubs his chin in contemplation, "what are you thinking Arthur."

Everyone then turns their attention to Arthur after hearing Kuroka's voice, "I think I understand now," he then looks up to everyone else, "well this is only a theory but if Albion and Ophis recognize his hidden strength then he may be stronger than what anyone previously thought.

Think about it Albion even in this close of proximity couldn't gauge his power and Ophis who has never shown interest in anything now is interested in some high-class devil."

Bikou stops laughing noticing that Arthur was serious, "wait for a second reel it back real quick how strong we talking, he would have to be at least high ultimate devil class, Maou Class, or even…" But Bikou stops as he shakes his head in disbelief.

Then Vali continues his statement with a devilish battle-hungry smirk on his face, "or he is the third and second youngest devil to every reach Super Devil class."

Transition to the Gremory Mansion on Earth

Ophis and Anos reappear in a flash of purple in the front of the door of the mansion, they walk toward the mansion but Anos stops after noticing three smilier presences in the forest with two of them being in close proximity to each but the third was very far from the mansion with a small barrier around them.

Anos smirks and then continues toward the door, Anos then opens the door as both of them walk inside to see Koneko sitting on the couch watching tv. She turns around after hearing the door open letting out a soft yawn with a gentle smile, "welcome back Anos and Rin."

Anos nods to her with a smile of his own, "why are you still up you should be resting, "Koneko blushes slightly, "well I wanted to wait up for you." Anos pats her head as a small smile forms on Koneko's face, "what are you watching," Koneko's eyes widen then turns off the tv remembering that she was actually doing research.

"Nothing there was another move from my favorite show that I wanted to learn since the creator is a Youkai that knows how to use Senjutsu." Anos raises an eyebrow, "would that be Naruto…I thought all of it was fiction," Koneko nods, "is but some of it has a bit of logic in it."

Anos glances back at the tv with keen interest again wondering what she was trying to learn, "I see," Anos then walks away as Koneko hops off the couch to follow. "Well, I look forward to the fruits of your labor," Koneko smirks, "yes I can't wait until I can use that move."

Ten Minutes Later

Anos walks to his door after hearing two knocks but his question is answered where he opened the door and looked down, "hello Koneko how can I help you?" Koneko was in her night sleeping clothes holding a pillow in front of her, "I wanted to sleep in your bed," Anos glances at his bed and chuckled.

"Rias already beat you to it," Koneko leans into the room as her eyes narrow noticing the familiar red hair in Anos's bed. Koneko then puts her pillow into Anos's chest and he takes it watching Koneko march towards the bed, Anos then raises an eyebrow as she walks toward the opposite side of the bed.

Koneko then lifts the bed causing Rias to wake up and fall to the floor in surprise, "what the heck is going," Rias falls to the floor and then shoots up rubbing the back of her head. Rias eyes dart around the room looking for an answer as to why she was lying on the floor, "Anos are we under attack…what's going on?"

Anos looks to Rias then his eyes shift and Rias follows his gaze to see Koneko standing on his bed with her hands on her hips staring at her with narrowed eyes. "Koneko what do you think you are doing," Koenko then points to the door, "leave," "excuse me," "you are getting too old for this Rias."

Rias then stands to look at Koneko like she is crazy, "who are you to tell me I can't sleep in my own brother's bed." Anos walk to a chair and pulls out a book out of a pocket dimension, while Rias and Koneko argued about who should be sleeping in Anos's bed.

After twenty minutes of arguing both girls turn to Anos to see he not paying either one of them any mind, "Anos who would you rather have in your bed? Me adorable twin or Koneko." Anos then lifts his hand to the side summoning a smaller bed, "I can sleep in this one while you two sleep in that one."

The girls wanted to protest but a set red glow encompasses Anos as he changes into sleeping clothes then summons a small barrier around himself to stop anyone from climbing into it. Then very quickly falls asleep with both girls banging on the barrier trying to get his attention but it was to no avail since the barrier didn't allow sound into it.

Transition to the Next Day

Anos wakes up to see Rin standing next to the barrier he created with her eyes closed supposedly looking at more of his memories. He sits up to see his room empty with neither Koneko nor Rias in sight, with a simple wave of his hand he dispels the barrier.

Anos gets out of bed and then feels something is off about his room, he walks to the door and flicks it slightly but he doesn't hit the door instead he hits a barrier. Although this wasn't a normal barrier it was a multilayered one, he turns his attention to Rin and she says something causing Anos to grin slightly, "I was told not to interfere but I doubt this will be able to contain you."

Anos puts his hand on the barrier noticing it had different layers of two anti-magic barriers but they were weak enough that a mid-class devil could break them, an anti-teleportation barrier, and the last barrier was a simple containment barrier but unlike the other anti-magic barriers this one was a lot stronger and at the moment was being reinforced with magic.

Anos had an amused smirk on his face, "looks like Rias decide to start the training now instead of waiting on me." Anos then crosses her arms to decide how he shall break the barriers or escape, he could simply flex his aura or simply punch his way through.

An idea then pops in his head as his eyes glow then looks around the barrier to find a weak point, Anos extends his wings and flies to the ceiling. He puts his finger on a single point and pours his magic into it, and all the barriers shatter like glass.

Anos looks to the right noticing a large amount of magical power building up then seconds later a bright flash engulfs the room as Rin teleports away leaving Anos. After a few seconds, the flash dies down to reveal Anos room completely destroyed with him hovering in the air with his wings extended.

The dust clears to reveal Rias and Akeno hovering in the air along with two other people he thought he wouldn't see…Sona and her Queen sporting amused smirks on their faces. Told you Rias those barriers wouldn't hold for long, Rias crosses her arms and sighs, "well they didn't hold at all.

He woke flew around for a bit then poked it and they all shattered like glass." "Well the barriers were just a means to an end anyway but, I have fulfilled my role the rest is up to you." Sona then flies to the ground as Tsubaki follows behind, Sona and her queen land a few yards away from the Rias, Sona, and Anos as the rest of her peerage joins her.

Sona glances to the side as the rest of her peerage joins her, "apologies president we tried to keep the barrier up but one thing led to another the barrier just broke." Sona glances at Anos then back to Saji, "it's fine…honestly I didn't expect the barrier to last as long as it did."

Saji breathes out a sigh of relief thinking that he was going to get scolded by his master for failing his task, "so president are we leaving?" "I was planning on putting you through training to help you awaken your sacred gear, but now I think watching this battle will be very informative for you."

Transition Back to Anos

Anos watches as the rest of Sona's peerage rejoin her after the barrier fell then looks back to his sister with a smirk, "getting impatient are we?" A similar smirk forms on her face as she crosses her arms, "I don't know about all that…as you told me in war there is never a wrong time for a preemptive strike."

Anos smirks even wider after cracking his knuckles causing both Rias and Akeno to sweet drop, "although I can't overlook the fact that you destroyed my room." Anos then took a step forward but five green lines shot toward him at different points then connect forming a star then a familiar green barrier erupts from the star.

Anos drops his smirk as Rias starts to laugh, "looks like I got you this time," but stops after seeing a red aura start to flow from Anos's body. "Rias did you really think casting a five-layered barrier would be enough to stop me," Rias then pales as her the barrier starts to crack as Anos flecked his aura more.

The barrier then shatters, Anos then extends his hand to the sky with his palm open with a bolt of lightning smacking his hand but to the viewer's surprise, he catches it. Anos then turns to the left slightly and throws the bolt at Koneko he felt was trying to hide her presence in the forest.

Anos looks back forward noticing that Rias and Akeno were gone, Anos then closes his eyes and catches something in his right hand, "I did tell you your illusions need work did I not?" Anos eyes glow red as the illusion around him disappears to reveal five swords on the ground in a circle around him along with Mittelt hovering over him with Issei lying on the ground with a burn mark on his stomach.

Rias and Akeno were also hovering in front of him, he turns his attention back to Koneko as she disappears in a puff of smoke then feels something grab both his feet and arms. Anos looks down to see hands from the ground holding his feet in place along with two more Koneko's holding his arms in place.

Anos then feels something poke his back three times along with feeling something enter his body, he looks back to see Kiba stabbing him with a sword. A red light then catches his attention as he hears Issei scream, "dragon shot," causing Issei to frown slightly.

Anos then sighs as he flexes his aura causing all Koneko's to disappear he smacks the orb extending his hand toward Issei as he comes flying towards him. Issei had a horrified look on his face as Anos grabs his neck choking him slightly, "didn't I stay if you wanted to launch a surprise attack you must stay silent."

Issei wanted to apologize but the glare he was receiving from Anos was making his throat dry up, he just tosses him into the air as a fireball shoots from Anos's hand striking Issei sending him hurling toward the sky. Anos lifts his hand with a small barrier-forming to block a sword swipe aimed for his neck, "if you want my head you will have to try harder than that."

Anos attempted to gab sword and toss Kiba but he backed off in the nick of time. Anos turns to face Kiba noticing that Mittelt hadn't moved from the sky along with Rias and Akeno and he just sighs as a devilish smirk forms on his face, "looks like I was mistaken but this is getting nowhere time to get serious."

Anos extends his wings and flies toward the sky and raises his hand and the area distorts a little then a large red magic circle forms above him, "this is an explosion spell and when it goes off everything within a mile will be erased so I suggest you plan accordingly."

Sona's eyes widen in horror and surprise as she looks at her peerage, "everyone move now," the magic circle begins to spin as it falls to the ground and starts to glow brighter and brighter the closer it got to the ground. Then in a flash of red, the magic circle detonates, and just as Anos declared the explosion circle shook the entire mountain and destroyed everything within a mile.

Leaving nothing but a barren wasteland along with Rias and her peerage who were inside a barrier being reinforced by Kiba and Asia. Anos looks down at them from the sky with an evil glint in his eyes, "so you are still conscious good, I figured after all that hiding you would have been unprepared for my attack."

Anos then descends rapidly to the ground knocking up dust in the progress and then starts to walk toward them, the barrier around Rias peerage, and Rias slips up by looking away from Anos to talk to her peerage. In burr, Anos reappears in front of Rias with his hand extended towards her ready to grab her but Kiba at the last second breaths a demonic sword swiping the air causing Anos to move his hand back.

Anos jumps back a few feet but Kiba doesn't relent and yells, "President I will keep Lord Anos busy for now." Rias nods, "keep me busy how long do you think you will hold up," Kiba smirks, "who knows but all you can do is dodge sine you don't have a sword and I won't give you the chance to create a wooden one."

To Kiba's confusion, Anos just bends down to pick up a twig and points it toward Kiba, "this will be more than enough," Kiba was about to think that Anos was overestimating his abilities but remembers what he could do with a wooden sword against a real one.

Kiba then tightens his grip around his sword and lunges toward Anos and just as he expected Anos blocks the strike with his twig that didn't even bend from the attack. Anos then points to the right with his opposite all while keeping his eyes on Kiba and fires a fireball, "no more illusions think of something else."

The fireball was aimed at Koneko who was trying to support Kiba in secret but was interrupted when Anos attacked her. "You should really keep your focus on me, Lord Anos," Anos smirks, "if you want me to take you seriously then do something with that sword."

Kiba jumps back and creates another sword in his hand then adopts a two-handed sword stance, then disappears in a blur but Anos keeps track of him with his eyes. Anos effortfully swings his sword left, right, up, down, and side to side blocking strikes then for the first time Anos swings his sword and was about to hit Kiba in the face but a barrier blocks his attack but only slows it enough for Kiba to dodge and take a few feet away.

Anos glances back to see Issei standing in front of Asia and Koneko defensively while Koneko had her hand on Asia's shoulder. Asia for her part had her hands extended forward toward Kiba, "I see so that's what's happening," Anos was about to attack but was interrupted by a blast of red energy at his feet.

He looks up to see Rias, Akeno, and mittelt hovering above Asia, Issei, and Koneko, "so it looks like you three are playing support while give just focuses mainly on attacking while Asia handles her defense."

He smirks wider as he hears "explosion…transfer," ring out from Issei's posted gear, Kiba's body glows as his power rises then Rias was about to order Kiba to attack Anos but was interrupted was some starts screaming in rage, "hey asshole what the fuck was that…you almost hurt President."

"Saji be silent…" everyone turns in the direction to see Saji marching in their direction with pure hatred in his eyes. "I can't do that this prick blew up the mountain with us on it…what do you think would happen if we got caught in it?" Anos holds a blank expression while looking at Saji march toward him, "I don't care if you are some high-class prodigy…that doesn't give you the right to endanger people's lives."

Anos smirks causing Saji to scowl, "the only one I see who was in danger of that explosion was you," Anos then gestures toward Issei with his head, "I bet even Issei could have survived that with just six boosts." Sona was about to interject but Anos raises his hand, "and so what if you can't defend yourself from an explosion of that size then you have no value protecting Sona…I could have done a better job if I was at your level."

Saji clenches his fist in frustration, "I highly doubt Issei is stronger than me he is nothing but a pervert," Anos just shrugs, "you're half right Issei is a pervert but after training with me I no doubt he could defeat you without his sacred gear."

Saji's eyes go wide as looks toward Issei who just nervously rubs the back of his head, "but unlike you…" Anos stops as his eyes glow red then he frowns, "I can tell you haven't even awakened your sacred and at this point, you might not ever will."

Sona had heard enough, she may have deep feelings for Anos but she won't let him talk down to one of her servants, "Anos that's enough…" Anos turns his attention to Sona and winks at her with a smirk making her blush. He then mouths the words, "just watch," Sona's blush disappears as she looks at Saji and notes that he was emanating a draconic aura from his hand.

She then understands what Anos was trying to achieve and holds her tongue for now but would voice her frustration with Anos for antagonizing her servant later, "looks like I was right you are useless Sona should have just reincarnated a mouse I bet that would be more useful."

Saji's eyes bulge, "fuck you asshole," he then runs toward Anos with his fist cocked back, "be silent," with those simple words Saji's body stops moving. He was still in a running position with his fist cocked back but he wasn't moving just holding that position, "you really are useless, is that really all it took to make you obey."

Everyone looks on in confusion and suppose, Issei then turns to Koneko slightly but doesn't take his eyes off Anos, "what's going on why isn't Saji running." Koneko just shakes her head, even though she knew Anos's true identity even though she couldn't tell what was happening.

Rias then lands a few feet behind her brother and was looking at Saji with a curious gaze, "brother what did you do why isn't he moving." Anos doesn't turn and just continues to look at him, "it's called compulsion magic… it's a spell of my creation."

"I see so what will we do now," Sona squints her eye's to get a better look at Saji then speaks, "we will just observe, for now, I want to see which one of the prison dragon sacred gears he has." While they were talking Saji then starts to struggle to release himself but it was to no avail then his bodied glowed as something formed on his hand.

"Ohh…you broke my spell just by awakening your sacred gear maybe you aren't useless…come show me what you got," Saji looks at the purple sacred gear in amazement now thinking that he could put Anos in his place. While watching the interaction between Anos and her pawn Tsubaki walks up next to her to ask her a question, "is it me, or is Lord Anos being more aggressive than normal?"

Sona turns to her queen then back to Anos and sighs slightly, "yes but he has his reasons…I assume he is trying to awaken his Saji's sacred gear through his emotions." "So what will you do now, it appears Saji has already awakened his sacred gear," Sona squints her eye's to get a better look at his purple sacred gear then speaks, "we will just observe, for now, I want to see which one of the prison dragon sacred gears he has."

Saji smirks but it falls when Anos comments on his sacred gear, "well that is underwhelming," Saji looks up and glares at Anos, "just you wait…I'll show you just how strong I am." Anos just continued to look at Saji impassively while he tried to get the sacred gear to activate then on instinct he happened to thrust his arm forward as the mouth on the sacred gear opened and a blue rope shoots out. Anos watched the line shoot towards him then lifts his arm deciding to humor Saji and allow the string to hit him, the line then wraps around his arm causing Saji to smirk in satisfaction.

"I got you now I will…" but Saji trails off noticing that he didn't know what to do next as a confused look forms on his face as he looks at the string. Anos then analyzes the string and his sacred gear now understanding that he has an absorption line, "you shot a piece of rope at me, well I can't say I'm not surprised."

Anos then tugs the string causing Saji to come flying forward, "well that's enough, I need to finish my little sparring session with my sister's peerage and I'm not going to get interrupted again." Saji closed his eyes and defensively put his hands in front of his face while Anos pulled his hand back to punch Saji in the face then seconds before Saji would have gotten struck in the face a barrier formed between the two.

As Saji's face strikes the barrier with Anos stopping his punch just inches in front of the barrier that was in front of him, Anos drops his fist then glances at the person who he suspected created the two familiar barriers, "Asia…do you care to explain what you are doing?"

Anos had a smirk on his face to try and calm Asia's nerves since she was trembling, Asia had both her hands up with everyone looking at her in surprise and confusion, "sorry Lord Anos I just thought you were being mean so I thought you were going too far."

Anos smirks and mentally chuckles noticing that if someone told him Asia was an angel disguised as a devil he would believe it. Anos then lunges backward away from Saji dodging a slash coming from Kiba, "I think Saji gets the point Lord Anos but as a knight and a friend I can't just sit and watch any further."

"So you two want to help this boy," "not just them," Anos then turned his attention toward Issei," anyone else." Two girls then jump next to Kiba, one of the girls had brown twin tails and green eyes while the other girl had white hair with blue-green eyes.

"Oh Momo, Ruruko…both of you want to stand up to me." The girls raise their fists ready to attack with smirks on their faces, "yes Lord Anos." Both girls take a step forward but are halted by two lightning bolts striking at their feet.

Mittelt then lands next to Anos with a cocky smirk, "I can't let you two get any closer to Anos since it is my job to protect him." Mittelt then cracks her fingers and glances at Anos, "looks like you could use my help but I doubt you actually need it."

Mittelt then takes a defensive stance in front of Anos, "Anos it appears you have done a number on my servant, at first I didn't intend on interfering but now I don't think I can just sit in silence." Anos then looks at Sona she had her glasses off cleaning the right lens with a cloth, "are you finally officially challenging me to a fight, Sona?"

Sona extends her devil wings and puts her glasses on then looks to Rias, "do you mind if we join your little sparring session?" Rias smirks then extends her own, "no I don't mind at all… I think it's time we knocked my brother down a few pegs or two."

Anos looks between Sona and Rias with an amused grin, the wind then starts to swirl around him and Mittelt as storm clouds started to form in the sky casting a shadow down upon everyone present. Then the thunder started to light up the sky, Anos then opened his hands as two lightning bolts struck them, "come at me if you dare?"

Everyone just stared at Anos in amazement, he then extended his palms toward Rias and Sona, "well if both of you are just gonna stare at me then I am going to attack first." Sona and Rias took to the sky as Momo, Ruruko, Saji, and Kiba then jump back as Anos released a large pulse of electricity in the form of a large energy ball about 400 meters in diameter.

"Now that should us give some extra breathing room," Mittlelt was still looking at Anos awaiting orders, "I bet you want to go fight Koneko," Mittelt nods with a grin, and Anos gestures with his head for her to go then Mittelt extends her devil wings then flies to where Koneko jumped to.

Anos then looks to the left to see Kiba along with a girl with reddish-brown hair running toward him named Tomoe with swords in their hands, then he looked up to see Sona, Tsubaki, Rias, and Akeno flying back towards him. While Sona's two bishops were keeping their distance while her rook stood in front of them probably to protect them from an attack from him.

Anos then looked toward where Mittelt flew off to and saw her fighting Koneko along with Issei and Asia, Anos then turned his back to then believing that Mittelt could handle herself for now. Anos then leans back as the swords of Kiba and Tomoe slash across his face, Anos extends his wings to take to the sky but felt magic build-up from for individuals behind.

But he doesn't bother turning around and just creates a barrier, Anos then felt something wrap around his leg and attempt to pull him to the ground. It was Saji who had promoted himself to rook but he. Would need a lot more strength to force Anos to the ground since Anos just continued to hover off the ground unaffected by Saji's attempt to pull him to the ground.

But unfortunately, the two kings and their queens were not faring any better at breaking the barrier Anos created. "Rias I have a plan," currently the girls were flying in a circle while firing off magical attacks to break through the barrier.

Rias just continues to attack her but yells back at Sona, "I'm all ears what is your plan," "let's focus on one point instead of attacking from different sides."Rias nods as all the girls converge on Sona then all together they raise their hands with magic circles forming. Sona fires off a burst of water, Rias fires off her power of destruction, Akeno releases a streak of lightning, and Tsubaki released a burst of devil magic from her own magic circle.

After a few seconds the magic barrier that Anos had up cracked slowly then completely broke. All four powers almost collide with Anos back but are stopped when a magic barrier forms again stopping the attacks. Anos turns his head slightly and smirks at the girls, Anos then looks down at the rope wrapped around his leg and takes it off.

Anos flew high into the sky above everyone and releases a burst of lighting out of his hand toward everyone below the kings and queens who were able to block the attacks. But everyone else didn't fare any better, Saji was struck by the lighting causing him to scream out in pain but the magic barriers were erected by Sona's two bishops who were far enough away to block the attacks but unfortunately, they didn't get there in time.

Kiba and Tomoe had a barrier erected for them as well but it wasn't blocked completely as the barriers cracked allowing some of the attack to get through and hit them. "Dang it Anos learn to hold back a little you could have hurt Kiba," Anos says nothing and just smirked at his sister, "don't look at me like that."

"If you want me to stop then make me," Rias sighed as Anos disappeared causing everyone to look around for him then Koneko screamed. Everyone looked to Koneko but it was too late she was unconscious in Anos arms who just vanished again then there was a loud bang.

It was Tomoe she was lying in a crater with Anos standing on top of her, "dam it, who do you think you are." Saji promoted himself in a burst of speed toward Anos but Anos catches his fist them slammed him to the ground, twice knocking him unconscious. Anos then lunged back as a beam of the power of destruction destroyed the ground he was standing on, "Anos you are going too far."

Anos raised an eyebrow, "I said I wasn't holding back," Rias clenches her fist as her aggravation grows, "first you verbally assault my servant then you slam him on the ground I think I should put you in your place." Anos looks at Sona and winks making her glasses fog up as she forces down a blush, "come now Sona you have been saying that ever since we have first started chess."

"Be that as it may I can't let you continue to hurt my servant," Anos smirks as he lifts his pointer finger to Sona gesturing her to come at him. Sona then lifts her right hand as a blue magic circle forms she then fires off a torrent of water toward Anos and he sidesteps but Sona wasn't targeting Anos.

A magic barrier then forms behind Anos stopping him from moving backward as Sona's attack shoots past him toward Tsubaki crashing into her sacred gear. Anos was about to move but the ground erupts to his left and right and he glances at Rias and Akeno hovering with lighting and the power of destruction ready to be fired again.

Sona's attack is absorbed into a mirror and then gets reflected at full force but the attack wasn't directed back at Sona, it was directed toward Anos. Anos lift's his hand to block the attack but to his little surprise a blue rope wraps around his hand he tracks the rope to see a barely conscious Saji attempting to pull his hand to the ground.

Anos suspected he must have changed his promotion to rook so he could boost his defense against Anos's last attack on him, he was about yank Saji toward him but Sona's rook Tsubasa was also pulling the rope with much greater strength than what Saji was doing earlier.

Tsubaki's attack inches closer toward him and he smirks wider as his body starts to spark lighting starts to crackle from his body, he then looks to Akeno and mouths the words, "this is true lightning." Akeno's eyes widened slightly but she was too late as Anos's body erupts in a burst of destructive lightning shocking.

Instantly knocking out a Tsubasa and Saji since they weren't fast enough to react but that doesn't mean everyone else faired any better Since Tsubaki was the closest out of everyone she got hit by the bust of lighting in full force but thanks to her sacred gear along with queen piece she was able to remain conscious but barely.

Sona and Rias reacted better than both their queens but compared to Sona, Rias was further away from the blast since she and Akeno were the furthest from everyone else. Rias was currently standing on one knee she had burn marks on her clothes she was heavily panting along with everyone else who was barely conscious.

Anos advanced toward Rias to officially end their little sparing session but he stops as Kiba slides in front of him and points a demonic sword of ice toward Anos. "Kiba I admire your bravery but there is a fine line between stupidity and bravery," Anos then opens his palm as a fireball forms, "now do you think you have the power to defeat me?"

Kiba looks back to Rias she was still trying to gather herself back together but she was in no shape to fight back, he then tightens his grip around his sword defiantly, "fine after I knock you unconscious, and once you awaken I will have you tell me which of the two you were enacting just now."

Anos fireball glows brighter as Kiba's demonic sword of starts to release an icy mist, but Anos stops as he hears an ominous snap than a scream of terror. He recognized the scream since he had heard it multiple times since Mittelt would make that scream every time she blew herself up but this was different.

This scream was different it wasn't a scream of pain but it sounded more like one of surprise and embarrassment, he turns to see small pieces of fabric floating in the wind along with Koneko glaring at Issei. Asia had both hands on her mouth with her eyes wide looking at Mittelt and as for Mittelt, she was glaring at Issei but there was something off.

She was sitting on the ground with one hand across her chest while one hand was covering her nether regions, Anos then blinked rapidly noticing that Mittelt was completely nude. Making his eye twitch with annoyance for the first time in his life, he had a sneaking suspicion that the reason why Mittelt was blushing uncontrollably was because of Issei.

Kiba looked at the scene and felt bad for Mittelt then turned his attention back to Anos he had a black expression but his eyes were glowing dangerously causing a chill to run up his. He then bowed to Anos and said, "please do not go too hard on him sir we still need him for the rating game."

Anos didn't speak and began his approach toward Issei he extended his hand toward Mittelt creating a blanket to cover herself with, Koneko noticed his approach and stopped glaring at Issei then walked away. Asia noticed the anger in Anos and walked up to him nervously and said, "Lord Anos this isn't Issei's fault it was my idea to have him use that ability."

Anos's entire attitude changed and felt down to pat Asia on her head, "don't worry I just going to teach Issei how to properly treat women," Asia nodded then Anos continued, "how about you go heal everyone and try to heal them completely in thirty seconds," Anos then winked, "consider this apart of your training."

Asia smiled then ran off to go help everyone then looked back for half a second to see Issei backing away slowly from Anos and mentally apologized to Issei. "Issei what was that move," Issei was on the verge of tears, "I didn't mean to blow off all her clothes just the top but I overestimated my power."

"And why would you need to use something like that on women," a goofy smirk formed on Issei's face, "well so I could see her oppai," after saying that the earth began to shake underneath Issei causing him to fall on his butt. "You stripped a girl of her clothes to just see her breast…did I hear that correctly," Anos wasn't yelling nor was he making his voice sound more aggressive.

What had Issei terrified was the fact that Anos was so calm yet he could have such an overwhelming amount of killing intent coming from him. Issei was about to apologize but Anos stopped him, "don't you dare try and lie to me that goofy grin from earlier told me everything that I needed to know."

Issei then heard Ddraig's voice speak in his head, "I suggest you try and run that's your only hope," "how I wouldn't make it in time," "well you can either sit here or take your chances." Issei gulped as Anos started to lift his hand as a fireball started to form that started to grow larger by the second, then to Anos slight surprise Issei height tailed it into the forest as fast as he could making Anos narrow his eyes slightly, "you can run as fast as you like but I doubt you will escape this."

Anos then flies into the sky with the fire and then points to where he senses Issei, the fireball falls to the ground looking like a meteor then with a thunderous *BANG* and a scream of pain from Issei the attack erupts. The blast from the fireball erupts destroying the surrounding area leaving Issei in the center of a massive crater and falls to the ground landing in front of Issei lying on the ground unconscious.

Anos then picked up Issei taking him to go get healed by Asia when he arrives he was excited to see everyone completely healed he lands in front of Asia dropping Issei at her feet, "it appears Issei got in an accident could you heal him for me."

Asia nods reluctantly and bends down as a green light glows from her finger as Issei's breathing starts to stabilize then after a few seconds he wakes up with his injuries all healed. "Oh thank you, Asia, I thought I was going to die," Issei then hugs Asia wrapping her in her arms making her blush profusely, "oh no problem Issei happy to help."

Anos then walks past Issei no longer caring then turns his attention toward Mittelt who glaring at Issei wanting to tare him limp from limp, "Mittelt if you want to go and put some clothes on you can." Mittelt looks to Anos and starts to blush then turns her attention back to Issei to glare at him one more time then starts to fly away while trying to cover herself up.

"You couldn't have held back any a little," Anos turns her attention to Rias who was glaring at him then a smirk forms on his face making her glare at him more. "Stop grinning at me like that, this is serious you could have hurt one of more than you could have," Saji then walks up to Anos with his fist raised trying to punch him but Anos catches the punch while still talking to Rias.

"Anos would you please stop torturing my servant," Anos turned his attention to Sona with a raised eyebrow, "I'm not torturing your servant and if I was then I would let ants eat his body while constantly healing his body," Anos then looked to Saji who struggling to get out of his grasp, Anos then lets Saji go causing him to stumble backward.

Once Saji regained his balance he was about to demand Anos to get him to apologize but stopped when he felt a cold chill run down his back, he then slowly looks at Sona seeing a terrifying glare on her face. "Not another word Saji," Saji took the hint and backed away slowly then bowed in apology toward Sona and Anos but mumbled something under his breath that was missed by Sona but not Anos.

"Well Rias this wasn't how I wanted the training session to go but I hope you learned something," Rias sighed and crossed her arms, "yea your right but my plan went up in literal smoke when you blew up the mountain."

"Well I wanted to see how all of you have progressed instead of just waiting for your attacks," Anos mood changes and he speaks a little louder to make sure Rias along with the rest of her peerage can him, "all of you have two days to prepare I have nothing left to teach or train you to use the remainder of your time to mentally prepare. Rias I hope you have come up with a plan on how to defeat Riser, Asia you have advanced your healing capabilities and are now able to defend yourself slightly.

Kiba in battle your enemy won't be as nice as you are if you find the chance to attack your enemy then don't waste it." Anos then looked at Issei who standing next to Asia nervously under Anos's gaze, "Issei in battle remember there is a time and place for everything, this may be a rating game but the probability of dying in one is possible so if you don't pay attention there is a chance you will cause yourself or you're allies harm."

Issei's nervousness leaves and he nods in understanding, "and as for you Akeno by far your magical abilities rival Rias but unless you come to terms with your past that will be the limit of your abilities but I trust will you make the right decision when the time comes."

Akeno's eyes had dropped slightly but had risen toward the end of Anos's words and felt her mood brightly slightly but she didn't understand why, "Lord Anos pardon my intrusion but do you have words for my king, even though this was supposed to be a battle between you and you sister."

Anos glanced toward Tsubaki then turned toward Sona who was glaring at her queen out the corner of her eye, "Anos you don't have…" "as always the chemistry between you and your servants is just as good as your intellect but that is as far as you as a devil go.

In my opinion, you have amazing intellect but when it comes to your physical and magical abilities you are severely lacking."

"Thank you for your honest opinion but what do you suggest I do to improve upon my physical and magical abilities?" Anos smirked making Sona regret what she said but kept her cool, "you could call your sister better yet since you want to train how about I call her now."

A communication circle formed next to Anos's ear and all of Sona's composure went out the window as she heard her sister's playful voice, "hey Anos how can I help?" "You hang up that commutation circle right now I don't want her help," "hey is that Sotan I hear in the background," Anos extended his wings and took to the air with Sona flying right behind.

"Anos I'm serious hang up now or I'm going to kill you," "apologies lady Leviathan but your sister said she wanted to improve upon," "please I'm begging you to stop," "didn't I say stop calling me that its Sona…S…O…N…A…Sooooonnnnaaa."

On the ground the view was very funny, "hey Tsubaki I have never seen president act like that is she okay," said Saji while he continued to watch Sona chase Anos in the sky. Tsubaki just chuckled, "remember what she said about her sister and Anos, well they are the only two who can make her break her composure.

Scene change a few thousand feet in the sky

"So what did you think Vali," "well Ophis he is defiantly strong to be able to cast so many spells without using a magic circle is defiantly impressive but what about you Albion I know we are very far but what did you observe?" "It's hard to say but he definitely wasn't serious that much is obvious, just look at him flying while running away the sister of Leviathan."

"So Ophis how strong is Anos in your opinion," "very," Vali raises an eyebrow, "very descriptive." There was still silence, "is he stronger than me," Ophis still didn't respond causing Vali's Toi smirk, "your silence just confirms my assumptions."

"And what would that be," "that he is a super devil," "you may believe whatever you desire," Sona stops chasing Anos around after he lands on the ground with Sona chewing him out. "I am leaving and I bet Azazel is waiting for you to check-in."

A teleportation circle appears below Vali, "not really he didn't give me a time limit," and after saying that Vali leaves. Ophis then flies to the ground and lands in the forest out of sight from everyone else then walks out with Anos lacing at her, "president I still. think he should apologize for that."

Sona was now fed up with this, "Saji give it a rest you're the only one that is upset by this and honestly, I doubt he is gonna apologize. Ever since I have known Anos he has never apologized for anything so trying to get him to is a fool's errand."

Saji scoffs making Sona her eyes at him making him look away from her, "not another word Saji and I mean it or there will be harsh punishment." Saji nods and Sona stares at him a little while longer then turns frustration back to Anos, "I don't appreciate you calling my sister...what if she actually came up here then what."

"Not my problem she isn't my sister," "yea but she is one of your mentors," Anos sighs knowing that he never officially made her one of his mentors only Sirzech and Ajuka, "actually I never made her one of my mentors."

While Sona and Anos were talking Rias took this time to talk to her peerage about how the last two days will be going, "okay guys Anos has left it up to me to decide how the last two days will go but he did say to keep the training light so we don't burn ourselves out. So I leave it to you guys to decide what you want to do but personally I am gonna take today and the last two to improve the plan for the rating game. So if you need me I will be in my room."

Everyone unanimously says, "yes president, and walk-in separate directions to prepare for the rating game," Rias then turns her attention back to Anos, who was still talking to Sona while the rest of her peerage just watched on in silence.

"Anos do you have a minute I want you to look over my current plan to find some holes that I can't see," "no can do Rias I have helped enough you need to come up with a plan on your own. You're the king, you make the plan but I do have a question I know I put a stump in your plan but I want to know what you had planned."

Rias scratches her and nods she did put a lot of effort into the attack plan, "well it was quite a simple strategy I know you have larger reserves than normal so I figured we could place a barrier on you forcing you to waste time breaking them along with adding illusions to fight things that aren't there while still draining you even further. Its simple but it was the best i could come up with in less than twelve hours."

"I see well good efferort either way but if you need anything besides further training just asks," says Anos while giving Rias a warm smile.

Rias just shakes her head while shrugging, "no it's fine I appreciate you taking the time to train my peerage." "Your welcome Rias anytime," Rias then walks away while waving at Sona with her waving back, "so Anos after these last seven days what do you think does she and her peerage have a chance against Rias?"

Anos takes a long look at his sister, "well depending on how her plan works out she could have a chance but she definitely is at a disadvantage but I have faith that she will prevail."
