Japan — on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, the [DxD] Team and their allies who fought against the Trihexa which threatened Japan now bore witness to the scene before their eyes. Trihexa was gradually being dragged into the sealing field—. After a retreat was issued to return to this coast, all members received news of the final battle plan. The higher ups of each faction prepared themselves for an eternal battle with Trihexa, and then set out for the Isolation Barrier Field—. Once inside, unless they defeated Trihexa, regardless of whether they were a god-class being or a Transcendent Being, they would not be able to come out. In order to defeat Trihexa, which was capable of repeatedly regenerating itself, it would require several thousand years, or even—.
Sona Sitri was standing on the coast in one corner while crying. She did not know that her ane[1], Serafall, would also depart for there. Not even a single word of farewell was conveyed to her.
"…Onee-sama…no, I hate this…. Why did you leave me behind and go ahead by yourself…? My dream…I also wanted you to see it, onee-sama…"
The sorrowful Sona Sitri wept without any of the visage that she normally had, but instead showed tears befitting a girl of her age. It was only natural. She was eighteen years old. As a Devil, she was still a child, and from now on, she would be waiting for an eternity without her ane, and a world without her ane.
At the same time, standing beside her to comfort her, Rias Gremory was in the same situation. Her ani[2] Sirzechs had also departed for the Isolation Barrier Field—. No parting words could be conveyed either. Her ani was Lucifer. The King of Devils, Lucifer. So, in order to protect the Devils, he made up his mind to participate in the eternal battle against Trihexa. However—. Her ani…he was also a Gremory. He was originally a Gremory. Even if he was called a Super Devil, he was originally a Gremory. It's just that he was a gentle and strong person.
Yes, he was gentle and strong—.
No, precisely because of this, Sirzechs had such determination. Precisely because of his gentleness and his strength, he departed for the sake of protecting everything.
"…Onii-sama…you really are, hopelessly stupid…"
A stream of tears flowed down Rias' cheeks as she conveyed her own thoughts—.
Soon, it would be her high school graduation ceremony.
…I am going to depart on a journey from there, and I originally hoped that you would see that moment….
This battle, and the scene before her eyes, it was something that Rias would not forget for the rest of her life—.
Y Ddraig Goch & Albion Gwiber
I, Hyoudou Issei opened my eyes, and the first thing that I saw was — a white ceiling. I smelt a rather distinctive scent, and then finally understood that I was currently inside a hospital…. These unpleasant experiences have been increasing. When I moved my upper body to sit upright, a voice came from my side. It was actually Vali who was sitting on the chair beside the bed to accompany me.
"It seems you finally woke up, Hyoudou Issei."
"…No way, I never imagined that the first person I would see after waking up would be you."
It wasn't Rias, nor was it Asia, and neither was it any of my other nakama, it was the truly unexpected Vali who smiled to himself bitterly.
"After confirming that your condition was back to normal, the members of Team [DxD], of course that includes my team and the Gremory household, went off to deal with the aftermath of the battle. You and I were confined in here so that we could get some good rest."
Oh, to allow me and Vali to rest? I remembered that while Vali went to Europe to stop Trihexa, I went to Japan to stop Trihexa….
"Yes, speaking of which, w-why am I okay…? I remember that because of the consequences of Dragon Deification, I should…"
I frantically touched every part of my body! That's right! At that time, I already prepared myself for Dragon Deification…and I also fought together with Sirzechs-sama against Trihexa's core!
"Ah, speaking of that—"
Just as Vali was about to begin explaining, someone suddenly sprang out from under the bed and called out
"Ise, you woke up?"
With flowing long hair that was deep black in colour, it was an extraordinary beauty! She was wearing a black outfit, and her o-oppai were staggeringly large! Why was such a beautiful onee-san in this patient room!?
"Are you awake? Are you awake?"
This time it was a relatively smaller girl who appeared from behind Vali. A girl who looked like and was formed from Ophis — Lilith! W-Was it okay for her to be in this patient room…? On that topic, when did she also come over here….
....
…I then realised the change that had occurred within myself! —I was able to see oppai!
High school DxD Volume 21 illustration 3.jpg
Originally, due to the aftereffects of Dragon Deification, I couldn't see oppai, let alone speak about them! Moreover, this was also the second time that I had used Dragon Deification, so it wouldn't be surprising if I died straight afterwards! Even if I was saved and brought back, I should be suffering from the long-term side effects of it for the rest of my life! Upon seeing the puzzled expression on my face, Vali explained it to me
"You originally suffered from the burden and repercussions of Dragon Deification, but Ophis, who you borrowed that power from adjusted it. So this is what the result is."
—Vali pointed to the black-haired beauty. The beauty tilted her head and said "I, Ophis. Ise doesn't recognise?"….
....
....
…I temporarily stopped thinking…if I looked closely at this beauty…she did indeed have a resemblance to Ophis, perhaps if she grew up, this is what she would look like. No, having said that, would a Dragon God-sama grow up? No, let's not talk about that first….
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh!?"
I cried out in surprise! Although it wasn't good to raise one's voice in a hospital room, I couldn't help crying out upon hearing that! Eeeeeeeehhh, Ophis actually became like this!?
"O-O-OOOOOOOOOOOO-Ophis...is that really you?"
I pointed at the beauty with my finger — Ophis nodded her head slightly. It really was a gesture that only Ophis would do. Vali said
"Because you overused the power of Dragon Deification, your existence became ambiguous, and your life was also hanging by a thread — so ultimately, Ophis shouldered all of the aftereffects. As a result, this is the appearance that she now has. Moreover, it seems like she has almost become fixed into this woman's body."
…No way, Ophis took it for me…. Vali continued
"Lodged inside your body was the power of infinity, that is, the power of Dragon Deification, and even with the flesh of Great Red, you were originally a human, so it is impossible for you to withstand it. It was then that Ophis came to adjust it, no, it should be said that she received it on your behalf. She stabilised that power to a level that your body and mind could withstand."
So that's how it is. Originally, after suffering from the repercussions of Dragon Deification a second time, even if my body…was destroyed, it would not be surprising.
"Well, I can't use Dragon Deification again huh."
"If you're talking about the power output you had during the time when you fought against Rizevim or Trihexa, you won't be able to use it again unless you become a god. Even my lifespan has been reduced by a lot. But, I also received a blessing from the Dragon God."
Blessing? A question mark floated above my head. Ophis, who had turned into a beauty answered that question for me
"At that time, you awakened the armour with my power, and you can continue to use that form. But, its power has been decreased by a great extent. However, there is also room for improvement."
Oh, so I can still change into that red and black streaked armour. However, it won't have abilities of infinity, and its immense strength has also been decreased. But that is still enough. Even if that power has been reduced, it's still incredibly strong. At the very least, it's far above that of my [True Queen] form. And there's also room for improvement. So it'll be fine if I just do more training.
"Pseudo Dragon Deification?"
Ophis shook her head from side to side and then nodded as she said that term…. [Pseudo Dragon Deification] huh, there was an indescribable subtlety in that, but I guess it did actually have that kind of a feeling. Vali said
"However, it hasn't even been a full year since you awakened your Sacred Gear, became a reincarnated Devil and reached a near god-class state; under these circumstances, not only was your body, but also your mind and soul were unable to withstand these changes. —Your growth has been too sudden."
…It was just as that guy said. In this past year, my power has been continually growing. Although part of the reason was due to facing off against fierce enemies, it wasn't surprising that my body would collapse from such an erratic growth in power. That's roughly how things were right now. A Devil that can live for ten thousand years has become like this in the span of just one short year…. My career as a Devil is really quite worrying…. I don't want every year to be like this during the ten thousand years of my life to come…. I couldn't help clutching my head. Perhaps tired of our conversation now, Lilith untied the hair on one side of her head and said
"Together with the other Lilith, together with the other Lilith."
while playing with her hair. Lilith and Ophis did indeed look alike when she unravelled her hair like that…. Ophis pat Lilith's head. Although a lot of things have happened, it could be said that all of Ophis' power had once again returned to one place. Vali's facial expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
"Hyoudou Issei…this is a message for you. —Starting with Sirzechs Lucifer, the current Leviathan, and current Asmodeus, these three Maous as well as the leaders of various factions have accompanied Trihexa to another dimension."
"—What!?"
Vali's words greatly surprised me. In order to truly keep the damage from Trihexa, which had split itself apart to a minimum, it was transported into a dedicated isolation barrier. And in order to contain it, warriors were elected from each of the various factions to fight against it. Those people were the higher ups of each faction. Among them were the Maous like Sirzechs-sama, Serafall-sama, Michael-sama, and that old man Odin. After that, Vali explained to me the last actions that the higher ups took. …I finally remembered the scene from that time. Because I was paralysed and had collapsed on the floor as a result of Dragon Deification, Sirzechs-sama spoke with a parting tone while beside me. So that…wasn't a dream. …W-Why is it like this, Sirzechs-sama…. Seeing my immense shock, Vali continued
"Azazel also went in."
"—What!! Sensei too? T-That…"
"…Right now, we can no longer see him."
....
…I looked up at the ceiling. …I couldn't say anything. I could not utter a single word. Even if I wanted to complain to him, he's no longer here now…? I covered my face with my hand, and asked Vali
"How long is it at the moment? Half a year or a few years?"
"…According to the Valkyrie on your side…it'll be a few thousand years at the least, or perhaps ten thousand years. That's how difficult it is to bring down that strengthened Trihexa. Even the God of the Bible expended all of his power to seal it away."
…Ten thousand years…. …We might not even be able to see each other for a year…! There were still so many things that I wanted to talk about with sensei. I also wanted to hear more of his advice…! It'll actually take ten thousand years…how can that be!?
"...All of that, how, how can it be. It'll actually need…s-several thousand years, or even ten thousand years…"
In my heart, I wanted to release all of that anger, grief, and sadness, but I was unable to, and a variety of emotions swirled around in my chest and mind. How was Vali able to remain so calm whilst I was thinking of all of these things — which is when I realised that something was very strange. His voice was also trembling.
"...Yeah. I really can't stand him. …He always says and does whatever he wants selfishly. …He's obviously taught us so much, so going off on his own…"
Seeing this unexpected reaction from my rival — I involuntarily began to shed tears. …Damn you, don't let me see you with a reaction like that right now…! It's too horrible…! Normally, when we were in situations such as these, sensei would call out as he arrived, and then start making jokes. But — no matter how long we waited, sensei still didn't show up in the patient room. Vali said to me
"…Azazel said you that you were his last, and his best student…"
...….
...You're too mean, sensei…. I couldn't hold back the tears which were welling up, and began to sob. I recalled all sorts of encounters, training sessions, times when I fought against powerful enemies, the times when we were in Kyoto and the Vampire's country; all of the places that we travelled to together emerged within my mind, as if coming through a set of revolving doors…. …I defeated Apophis…. What would sensei say to me normally…? Ophis held my hand.
"…I'm still here. I, regardless of whether it's one thousand years, or ten thousand years, I will stay by Ise's and Vali's side."
"Then, Lilith also wants to be together."
Lilith also took hold of my hand and Ophis' hand. …So these are the so-called people that we gain when others are lost huh. Vali sighed
"…It will be a very long time. —But, both you and I have bodies which will somehow be able to survive that length of time. For when he returns."
Vali suddenly looked out the window, and his voice trembled even more.
"At the very least, we need to complain to him one more time."
"Yeah."
What awaited me from here on was a world without Sirzechs-sama and Azazel-sensei. It will be a terribly long time in comparison to the time that was spent together with them, in this world that was now without them—. If we had the power and the determination to defeat the 'enemy' sooner, perhaps we would not have arrived at such an outcome…. For the seventeen year old I, it was the first time in my life that I experienced such intense tragedy and regret. With this battle as a turning point, a decisive change occurred in the minds of the Two Heavenly Dragons. The thought of protecting something was born within Vali, and as for I — the determination to always destroy the 'enemy' was born within me. Indeed, if I didn't possess that resolve, then someone would definitely disappear. If that's the case, then I should—.

Hindu Mythology
Brahma, Vishnu, and seven other major gods
Other factions (Japanese Mythology, Chinese Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Celtic Mythology, and others) also had some of their major gods join the eternal battle against Trihexa.
Despite this, Trihexa is still currently alive.
Afterwards, this historic battle in which various factions participated became known as [The Chaos of Lilin], and [The Evil Dragon Campaign], but also came to an end for the time being—.
Historians have described the campaign as 'A historic loss of powers from all of the mythologies'. Especially significant is the combat strength of Heaven and the Underworld, which significantly declined; the overall combat strength that The Three Factions worked hard to recover after the War was once again exhausted.
In the human world, Trihexa and the Evil Dragons left behind a tremendous impact, as well as the irregular, supernatural presences which fought against them; all of them were recorded by the media, and it triggered an enormous and controversial debate between humans. And so, this battle left behind an inerasable scar on both the human world, and the supernatural worlds. However, in this campaign, a new hope was also born. Two future Super Devil candidates appeared on the Devil's side. They were the ones known within the history of the Two Heavenly Dragons as the rare talents [Hakuryuukou of the Morning Star] Vali Lucifer and [Sekiryuutei of the Blazing Truth][1] Hyoudou Issei—.
In addition, several days after the end of this campaign, a certain proposal was passed in the upper echelons of the Underworld.
—Rias Gremory's servant 'Hyoudou Issei' was nominated for a promotion to become a high-class Devil. Being advocated for a promotion to a high-class Devil within less than a year after reincarnation, was an exception among exceptions that had never occurred in the past.
The remaining hopes
The story which follows became the most important, and most confidential conversation.
Several days after the battle known as the [Evil Dragon Campaign] concluded, the figures of two people appeared on a particular beach. The celestial bodies in the night sky illuminated the sandy beach — and the two people there. This was the space that Ajuka Beelzebub created by using a certain place as inspiration. Accompanied by the gentle sound of the waves playing a melody, the two figures — the bewitching Maou Ajuka Beelzebub and the innocent looking youth Shiva sat down at a round table. On the beach at night, while sitting around the round table, the two people began their clandestine meeting. Shiva began first
"The sacrifices have been too great. —However, this is also necessary for the peace before our eyes. The higher ups of the Three Factions, Odin, Zeus and the others have all given me insight into their determination. —Very well. Until they return, I will also try to protect this world."
Ajuka asked Shiva
"Is that alright? Didn't you accept the proposal of former Governor Azazel before, when Trihexa was going to invade the other world, you would appear to stop it…"
Indeed, that was the original agreement that had been made between Shiva and Azazel. —But to Shiva, the actions of Azazel and the others stimulated his own aesthetics. As members of the top brass, the actions of Azazel and the others during this incident attracted a lot of condemnation and unease. Irresponsible actions that did not consider the consequences, or what would have happened if the Isolation Barrier Field was unable to contain Trihexa; many comments such as these arose. However, Shiva thought that their actions were worthy of praise.
"Protecting this world — if I didn't have that resolve, wouldn't it be quite rude to them? Moreover, Brahma and Vishnu also insisted that I stay and they entrusted me with the task of being the stopping force from now on. —Following this, what is going to happen to the situation in the Underworld?"
"Yes. Currently, the capital of Lilith is—"
They were beginning with the aftermath of the battle, and they were also assisting with the human world.
"The damage to the human world cannot be ignored, but thanks to the power of the gods of each faction, it seems to have already recovered quite significantly."
Just as Ajuka said, the natural environment that Trihexa and the Evil Dragons had destroyed in the human world were repaired by relying on the power of god-class beings. The lives which were lost…although difficult to deal with, it became a subject that the god-class beings would need to consider in the future. Yet, there was an even more pressing matter. The video recording of the battle had already become a source of widespread attention across the human world. The presence of supernatural beings had undoubtedly been exposed. Shiva said
"In the area that worships my mythology, through the rulers of the humans, we can fabricate or destroy records. However, there is a limit to that…there are simply too many details regarding this incident that we must not allow humans to know. Other mythologies are also in a similar situation. If the balance in the human world is tipped, the influence of mythologies will also be affected. This is something which must be avoided."
Ajuka also agreed with Shiva's point.
"The forces on my side have been cooperating with Heaven, and have been doing similar things to your side. But it would be extremely difficult to completely eliminate it…"
From the perspective of an ordinary person, the video would simply seem like a CG produced monster movie. There were many people who thought like that. However, there were also many humans who realised that 'something big happened'. Although some would think of it as 'some country's military experiment' or 'the work of terrorists', the recording of this incident would more or less have an impact on the future of the human world. After Ajuka and Shiva exchanged information from their respective sides, they finally arrived at the core matter of their conversation. With no reservations, Shiva got directly into the matter
"After all, Rizevim and the Evil Dragons…at the very least, Aži Dahāka and Apophis already have some degree of understanding of that other world."
Ajuka affirmed what Shiva said as he nodded.
"Yes, evidently, they seem to have obtained some kind of information. However, even I could also reproduce a part of that world like this."
"In your case, you came in contact with it through a Longinus. It won't be made known to the other side, right?"
"At the very least, I wouldn't let them find out that I'm doing anything. But because of that, there are too many things that I don't know about."
Ajuka solemnly continued
"…However, there will come a day when [they] have the possibility to invade and attack. During the fight between the Two Heavenly Dragons and Loki, they encountered one of the gods on that side. And what's worse is that over the course of this incident, [they] have already become aware of our existence."
The Maou placed a summarised report on top of the table. The cover of the report read 'Top Secret'. Ajuka continued
"This report is something that the former Governor Azazel gave me and some other trusted VIPs before he departed. Described within it are the results of a particular investigation."
Shiva reached out to pick up the report, and skimmed through it quickly. His expression then became complicated. While Shiva's attention was still focused on the report, Ajuka said
"—Rizevim has sent the transportation techniques of the various factions over to that side. On top of Agreas, which has been returned, residual traces of several transfers have been found."
"I see, rather than objects, information has been transferred over to that side. Of all things, it had to be information about teleportation. If that side is able to decipher it, they'll be able to bypass Great Red, and come straight to us. That incarnation of terrorism left behind a diversity of malice before he died. At this point, I can only express my amazement at him."
Rizevim, Aži Dahāka and Apophis attempted to communicate with the other world. And they succeeded. On top of that, not only did they send a full declaration of war, they also sent over a wide variety of information on teleportation techniques to that side. Simply put, it was a crazy idea which involved pouring verbal abuse and malice at them, and then telling them everything about how to invade one's own home. Someone who could think of something like that was absolutely stupid. It was no different from the young people of the human world who flooded social networking services with abuse, but the problem was that this was on a planetary scale. That son of the former Lucifer was a bastard who would celebrate by drawing not only himself, but all living things into a war. Rizevim was the crystallisation of malice in the truest sense. The scars that he left behind after death were still deeply, deeply carved—. With a complex expression on his face, Ajuka said
"If the techniques that Rizevim sent over are deciphered, the time required to break through the Dimensional Gap…going by the calculations of former Governor Azazel and my Beelzebub side, it would be — approximately thirty years from now. At that time, the messengers from [the other world] will arrive here."
In response to this information, Shiva could only laugh.
"That's rather early. To supernatural existences like us, that could be described as a mere blink of the eye."
"Yes, Sirzechs and former Governor Azazel were also concerned about this matter before they left. It has also been made clear that the Malevolent God on that side is an evil existence…"
"A fight against the god of another world — huh. …However, this is, after all, still to come. Compared to that, what I would pay more attention to right now is—"
"—Indra, The Heavenly Emperor, right?"
Even if they could foresee the invasion from another world, the estrangement between the various factions still had not been eliminated. In particular were those who had dangerous ideas, such as Hades of the Greek Mythology, and The Heavenly Emperor — Indra.
"With the disappearance of the higher ups of the various factions, this is an excellent opportunity, that's probably what that God of War is thinking. After all, no matter when and where, he is a God of [War] that only thinks of battle. Having thirty years is enough for him to prepare."
Whilst saying that, the God of Destruction had such thoughts while laughing. This youthful God was also a supernatural existence who enjoyed battles. As if to urge some restraint, Ajuka said
"…If a large-scale war also occurred under such circumstances, thinking of the future, it will only result in destruction."
Shiva shrugged his shoulders.
"My side has also bid farewell to Brahma, Vishnu, and several other major gods. If it develops into a war with Indra, it will also have a tremendous impact on the human world. After all, Indra already predicted that such a day would come, so he has constantly been expanding his own forces."
Indeed, the Hindu Mythology was renowned as the strongest among all the various factions of the world, and two of its three major gods had already gone to participate in the eternal battle against Trihexa. The only remaining major god of the Hindu Mythology now was Shiva. It was also precisely because of this, that upon seeing that the God of War didn't butt into the battle, it could be assumed that he had finished his preparations. Because that Indra was more hostile to Shiva than anyone else—.
"Really, it's quite troublesome."
Although he muttered that, there didn't appear to be any trace of concern on Shiva's face. Shiva changed the subject and said to Ajuka
"It would be best if you made preparations for your 'replacement'. After all, Emperor Belial's declaration has created chaos within the upper echelons of the Underworld, right? This is also a good opportunity. It could make for a good reform. —It could lead to the [Seven Great Maou] system that was previously proposed. I heard that you were the one who proposed this to be modelled after the seven deadly sins, right?"
"Yes, this time it won't just be the Devil's side; it has been predetermined that the higher ups of other allied factions will vote to elect candidates. The range will be from Lucifer, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Belial, as well as Mammon and Belphegor, which have been elected from the Extra Demons."
"Until then, you'll be the one and only Maou. Iyahaha, you certainly will be busy."
"That's why I stayed behind. Until Sirzechs returns, I will continue to remain on the stage."
Sirzechs also understood that. So long as Ajuka held that will, regardless of whether it was Sirzechs' duties, or Falbium's duties, he would bear the responsibility for all of it—. Although he didn't possess the idol-like charisma of Serafall, Ajuka would perform the duties of the Four Great Satans to the end. The other current Maous also understood this, which is why they set off for the Isolation Barrier Field. Having been left behind, Ajuka listened to the wishes of his close friends, and swore to them that he would protect the seat of Beelzebub forever. Shiva said
"—However, before the issues with the higher ups are tackled, a [piece] is necessary to act. As long as there are good [pieces], 'war' will not be triggered. Rizevim's plan will eventually fail as a result of the peace that will be maintained between the factions. That's what the gods of the various factions also think. —It is necessary to nurture the strong people of their own faction to ensure that there are capable people in the future. Otherwise, let alone a terrorist attack, they may have to succumb to other factions. Ajuka, you also foresaw this, so you formulated a plan with Sirzechs Lucifer and Azazel. —A plan for every faction. It doesn't sound too bad."
It was unknown where Shiva obtained it, but he took out a new report from his inner pocket. It was — the [International Rating Game Tournament] proposal.
"This plan will allow everyone to unite together. In order to prepare for future attacks — it will cultivate strong people. And more than anything, it will allow everyone to rejoice together."
Ajuka was able to speculate the true intention behind Shiva's words. The convening of such a large-scale tournament might result in some opposition, and this God of Destruction would suppress them. Acting as a proxy war between the various factions of the world, this would be able to dampen the ambitions and hostilities between the various factions…that was the original purpose of the plan that Sirzechs and Azazel thought of. If this was ignored and a war was instigated, it would garner condemnation from the various factions. The factions that participated in it would receive the aid of other factions. This kind of situation was absolutely undesirable to the Heavenly Emperor. For this reason, Sirzechs and Azazel designed a large-scale project that would promote peace and calm any restlessness. But because of Rizevim's malice, this plan was delayed and wasn't able to be realised…. Having said that, it was also unclear how much trust this God of Destruction inherited from them; Shiva's true intentions and whether Heavenly Emperor would accept this, there were many disturbing elements at play. However, if it could function as a proxy war between the various factions—.
—Why don't you organise a [Game] that anyone can enjoy?
As if he could hear the voice of Sirzechs say that, Ajuka smiled slightly. In fact, before the internationalisation of the Rating Games could be opened, there were many current issues that had to be dealt with first, and a total restructure was necessary. The Rating Games were no longer just something that belonged to the Devils, if they became a competition that all faction could enjoy, it would need to undergo rigorous monitoring by the various factions. In that case, it would become a better competition than what it currently was. This was — the future that Sirzechs, Azazel, and Champion Belial desired. In fact, since the last year, Sirzechs and Azazel had begun managing various companies in the Devils' and Fallen Angels' territory, and even in Heaven — the other forces which were led by the Christian religion, including its related companies; they had been secretly supporting a proposed contract for internationalisation.
—Hey, Sirzechs. Honestly, you really just wanted to see your imouto and brother-in-law as representatives for the Devils, so that you could watch them defeat the teams of other factions and be proud of them, right?
In order to allow his friend to witness this scene, Ajuka Beelzebub began to act. Thus, the banquet finally began—.
The curtains have finally risen on the greatest and final event of Hyoudou Issei's high school life.
