Inside the Student Council Room of the Kuoh Academy of the Human Realm, three people are present, namely Sona, Tsubaki, and Kisuke. Since this is an unofficial match, not everyone is allowed to watch it. But that's only for live viewing. If requested, one can purchase the recording of the match which is already edited by the committee of the Rating Games.
Sona requested only three slots for live viewing which is why there are only three of them. Kisuke, however, is secretly pirating several screens and sending it real-time to his house and he doesn't feel any guilt in doing so. Normally, such actions would have been detected, but Kisuke's concealing technology can easily hide this fact.
Tsubaki serves some tea and snacks for the three of them while taking occasional glances towards the multiple screens floating around.
"What do you think about this game?" Sona asks Kisuke who is sitting beside her while she sips her tea. It is very rare for them to sit together without the chessboard on the table.
"Magic is really amazing... The technology here very advanced, especially that automatic retirement when a player receives a certain amount of damage. How do they keep track of the player's health? Is it those Evil Pieces that are inside them?" Kisuke commented and he added mentally, 'These Pieces are really sophisticated. Although I don't like how it works, the who invented this is a real genius.'
"Yes, but I don't really know how this Evil Pieces works and even the inventor himself won't reveal all of its qualities to be discovered by the users themselves." Sona replied, "By the way, what do you think their chances of winning?"
"Gremory's chances? Taking out Koneko out of the equation, their winning chances are just 5%." Kisuke took one cookie and started nibbling on it.
"That low huh... And here I thought they had at least a 15% chance of winning. Without Koneko, of course. I don't know how to add her into the equation. How much are their chances if you add Koneko?"
"Then they have around 25% chances of winning if Koneko moved out normally."
"Normally you say? Then what about the abnormal situation?"
"I hope good fortune would come to Fried Chicken, or else, he'll be killed~."
"What!? Are you pulling my leg!? That's the immortal Fried Chicken."
"Hahaha~. Perhaps. Let's just watch the show and see what miracle they could bring."
"Hmmm... I guess that's right... We'll know the result later."

Gremory Mansion in the underworld. Sirzechs is watching the proceeding along with his parents, Zeoticus Gremory and Venelana Gremory, and his son, Milicas Gremory.
Zeoticus has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson red hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like his two children, Sirzechs and Rias Gremory. He also has a short and red beard or stubble. While Venelana looks very much like her daughter with shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes much like the natural-born members of the Bael Clan. Due to her devil lineage, she appears around the same age as her daughter and her son who appears to be in his early to mid-twenties. Millicas, on the other hand, is a cute young boy with short crimson red hair inherited from his father, Sirzechs, and red eyes which he inherited from his mother, Grayfia.
"So it's starting... Sirzechs, Is it really needed to go through all this farce?" Zeoticus muttered while he stares at the screens showing her daughter instructing her peerage members.
"We have to give her some chance is you want her to accept the marriage voluntarily. And who knows, maybe she'll really win this game." His son, Sirzechs replied to him.
"I don't see any chances of her winning... Why do you think she can win?" Venelana asks this time.
"Rias luckily took this generation's Red Dragon Emperor. Maybe a miracle could happen... And besides... There is also that nekomata..."
"You mean Koneko-chan? What about her?" Venelana's attention was caught by the child who grew up in the mansion instead of the appearance of the Dragon Emperor.
"Grayfia reported that a human with the same age as Rias is helping Koneko train." Sirzechs rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"A human you say... What so special about it?" Zeoticus narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.
"Let's just watch the game... We'll see how it goes as even I don't know how to interpret Grayfia's report." Sirzechs didn't speak any further and focused his attention on the screen.
Zeoticus and Venelana looked at each other in confusion but after a while, they returned their attention to their daughter who already moved out and is approaching the new school building.

Rias' plan is to lure and eliminate all of Riser's 'Pawn' first as it won't be good for their team if even one of them promotes to 'Queen'
Rias splits the group into four. The first group is Issei and Koneko. The second is only an individual which is Yuuto. Third is Akeno and the last are Rias and Asia.
Issei and Koenko will serve as a lure to attract the enemies towards a certain point. Yuuto will act with guerrilla tactics in mind reducing their number further. Akeno will become a high powered moving artillery that will eliminate the groups that Issei and Koneko gathered while Rias and Asia will look for the chance to sneak towards Riser and confront him while his servants are busy.
Issei and Koneko arrived at the gymnasium where they would confront some of Riser's servants. Koneko easily defeated her opponent who is a fellow Rook with a single strike and watched Issei deal with the other three Pawns. Truthfully, Koneko could easily deal with four of them at the same time, but she followed Kisuke's advice not to help his comrades if he/she can deal with it. They also need experience he said.
Thanks to Issei's training, he was able to deal with Riser's three Pawns... Is what they chose to believe when they witness him incapacitate the three girls with his self taught magic called 'Dress Break' which removes all forms of clothing worn by the target.
"You're the worst! A menace to all women!" The twins shouted angrily while covering their bodies.
"You beast! You deviant incarnate!" Mira is shaking from cold wind grazing her bare skin.
"How disgusting..." Even the Rook Koneko took down commented between her pained groans.
"... I've lost all respect for you." Even Koneko, who is used to see Kisuke's perverted antics, was put off by this magic.
Issei looked away from Koneko's hurting gaze, "Ha-ha-ha... Say what you want... Kisuke can even strip female underwear without the latter's awareness even with her clothes on."
In the StuCo room, Sona and Tsubaki gave Kisuke a disgusted look.
But Kisuke ignored those stares and muttered, "What a fascinating magic. It'll take me a few days, but I can make my own version that wouldn't need any touch or gesture..."
Both Sona and Tsubaki shuddered at his words.
Decided to post all the 'filler' chapter
2/5
Issei and Koneko left the gymnasium while their opponents were incapacitated. After a few seconds, Akeno arrives, bombarding and annihilating the whole gymnasium with lightning along with Riser's servants.
"Three of Riser Phenex-sama's 'Pawns' and one of his 'Rooks' have been retired." Grayfia's announcement echoed throughout the whole battlefield.
"It's just like what Kiba said before... It makes sense that Akeno-san is called 'Priestess of Thunder'..." Issei is in awe at the sight of destruction Akeno casually concocted, 'Amazing... Better remember not to piss off Akeno-san... Kisuke... rest in pieces...'
Issei turned to Koneko and initiated a high-five, "We did it, Koneko-chan!"
"Please don't touch me!" Koneko took a step back, still remembering his disgusting magic.
"Hahaha, I'll never use it on an ally." Issei awkwardly laugh.
"...It's still a nasty move." Koneko started walking away, but just a few steps, her senses started warning her. She used her inner Ki to cover herself and a large explosion happened in front of her sending her flying to the woods.
.
.
.
"Looks like their plan works," Sona commented after the Akeno dropped her attack on the building.
"Yep. That Fried Chicken is not taking it seriously when it comes to commanding his servants. He's just that confident to win even with just himself." Kisuke added. Then they witness the explosion which sent Koneko to the woods with unknown faith.
.
.
.
Sona furrowed her brows at this and asks Kisuke, "Is she going to be okay?"
"So that's how is it... She wants the opponents to think that she's already taken out." Kisuke muttered, "She's going to be fine... You see, she needs a lot of alone time to execute her secret technique. This is a good chance to reduce the attention she's getting."
Sona returned her sights on the screen and focused her attention to Koneko who is lying on the ground, disheveled and 'unconscious', 'Let me see this secret technique of yours.'
.
.
.
"Well done. Building up that lightning attack takes some time for Akeno, so while we're waiting for her to recharge, we'll move on to the next operation." Rias' voice resounded on their communicator.
"Got it, Buchou!" Issei turned to Koneko and tried to catch up to her, "We're supposed to meet up with Kiba on the Sporting Grounds, right? Let's move, Koneko-ch---!" A sudden explosion interrupted his words and he saw Koneko's body launching away to the woods dropping out of his vision, "Ko-Koneko-chan!!!"
"Take." From the sky, Riser's 'Queen', Yubelluna' appeared. She just cast that bomb magic, "Fufufu~. All your struggles are for nothing. You'll never beat Riser-sama." She then faces the direction where Koneko was thrown away. She saw her lying on the ground relatively fine, but unconscious. The game's judge deemed her still capable of combat, 'I used quite a lot of force in that one since Ravel-sama warned me about her. Surprisingly, she wasn't taken out instantly, but I should finish her off.'
Yubelluna wanted to follow Koneko, but Akeno blocked her way, "Issei, don't worry about Koneko-chan. She'll be fine. Proceed to follow Rias' orders for now." She glared at Yubelluna and also followed her line of sight, 'This is not the end for her... right?'
"B-But--!" Issei still didn't want to leave just yet.
"Issei-kun." Akeno put more force in her voice, "You have your role to play, and this is mine. Do not fret, I'll avenge Koneko-chan. I'll give everything to crush this one."
"Kuh!!" Issei turned around and ran away, leaving the two 'Queen's' battlefield which is now filled with explosions.
"Hah...hah...hah..." Issei ran from destructions with all his might and stopped at the corner of the building just before he reached the Sporting Groups.
As he tries to calm his breathing, Grayfia's announcement was heard again, "Three of Riser Phenex-sama's 'Pawns' have been retired."
"Three 'Pawns'? But Buchou is still in the base and Akeno-san is in the middle of a fight..." Issei muttered when a hand grabbed his shoulder, "!?"
Issei turned around to retaliate but saw it was Yuuto Kiba doing a silence gesture, "Oh... It's just you." Issei is now trying to calm his beating heart.
Kiba was the one who defeated the three 'Pawns' and the two talk for a while to rest. After reaffirming their resolves to get stronger, they started to argue who's going to be on 'top' which inevitably attracted Riser's remaining pieces to their location.
"I am Karlamine, a 'Knight' serving Riser-sama. I've had enough of sneaking around and feeling each other out. 'Knight' of Rias Gremory, come and pit your blade against mine! Knight on Knight!" A young woman with light brown hair and green eyes called out to Yuuto. Her outfit consists of a full set of silver armor with black accents that appears to be a cross between a European Knight (chest plate, gauntlets, and greaves) and a Japanese Samurai (hip plates and shoulder guards), and wears a headband that goes across her hair and forehead. She is equipped with a broadsword and a dagger, both of which are held with brown belts slung across her hip. The broadsword is slung on her left hip, and features a red jewel on the pommel and has bandages across the handle for grip. The dagger, which is located behind her hip, features a gold hilt with bandages on the handle.
Yuuto opened the door of the storage room they were in and accepted her invitation, "Hmmph... I can't keep hiding after being called out like that." He pulled out his sword from his hip and took a stance, "As a Knight, that is."
"What!?" Issei didn't know what to do, but he had no other choice other than following him outside of their hiding place.
"I am Yuuto Kiba, a Knight." Yuuto first introduced himself and Issei did the same, "And I'm Issei Hyoudou, a Pawn."
Karlamine chuckled, "Always a joy to meet fighters who boldly step out, front and center. You're my favorite type of idiots! Hahaha!"
"That's rich coming from you!" Issei retorted.
"I'll give you a fight that is anything but ordinary." Yuuto pointed his sword towards Karlamine.
"Well said, Knight of Rias Gremory!" They started their clash leaving Issei gawking at the sidelines.
But he wasn't alone for too long and the rest of Riser's servants appeared one after another surrounding him.

"That's some interesting Sacred Gear. Can he create any sword with any effect?" Kisuke commented on the scenes ongoing on the screens.
"Who knows. It's said that throughout history, countless variations of this Scared Gear appeared. And each one of those has their own specialties." Sona replied while she rests her head on her hand.
A few more moments, they witness Issei use his 'original' magic on Riser's Rook and retired her through the use of an attack he calls 'Dragon Shot'.
Rias is already confronting Riser on the top of the roof of the new school building along with Asia.
"He even has his little sister in his harem!? Damn... I lost!" Kisuke gritted his teeth just like Issei when Ravel reveals herself.
"Why are you competing with him?" Sona gave him another disgusted look.
Kisuke looked at her and smiled, "Right... Why am I competing with him? I already have Sona-kaichou."
Kisuke's words caught Sona off guard and blankly stared at him. A few seconds later, her face flushed red with embarrassment, "Who's yours!? You damned pervert!!!"
Sona kept shouting at him but he just enjoyed Sona's tantrum and embarrassed face.
Issei and Yuuto combined their Sacred Gear to create a field of blades which impaled all of Riser's servant around Issei and Yuuto, the only one left is Riser's little sister, Ravel who already healed her wound.
She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Is this also the Dragon's power?"
Just as Issei and Yuuto are feeling proud of their accomplishments, another announcement from Grayfia resounded, "Rias Gremory-sama's Queen has been retired." This announcement understandably shocked everyone in Rias' peerage.
"Just with those words and they're letting their guard down? It's not like she's dead." Kisuke commented, and as he expected, it's Yuuto's turn to become charcoal from an explosion while they are processing those words.
"Rias Gremory-sama's Knight has been retired." Grayfia's voice resounded again waking them up from their stupor.
