Considering everyone here, and our possible improvements in the next ten days, I'd put us at least a 35% of victory. 45% if we develop a good plan and really push ourselves training," Rias informed them all emotionlessly.
"So we can win, but we'll have to bring our A-game," Naruto summarized frankly.
"Basically. As I said before, the winner will probably be who can develop the better game plan. Not to mention execute that game plan," Rias claimed with a nod.
"No worries then," Naruto declared with a confident smirk. When everyone looked at him in surprise, his grin widened as he told them, "I usually like charging straight forward. Exciting that way, but I am still a ninja. I can do all the sneaky and strategic stuff. Not to mention I'm the best prankster you'll ever meet. Riser gave us ten days. Hah! I'll only need three. Trust me. I've got this. Riser will rue the day he challenged us."
Naruto's certainty in their victory seemed to encourage everyone else as well. Rias clapped her hands and declared with an equally confident grin, "You heard Naruto-kun. Let's all do our best to show Riser just how powerful we are."
It was a different atmosphere than what Naruto expected.
He had enough battle experience to be relaxed before a battle, but he hadn't expected everyone else to be so calm.
They should be tense. Guess he underestimated them.
The entire Occult Research Club was gathered in the clubroom. It was approximately 11:50 at night.
The Rating Game was going to start as soon as midnight arrived. The club had gone to school that day, but had skipped doing anything afterwards.
Couldn't risk tiring themselves. Instead everyone had been released to do whatever they wanted to in order to relax.
They had just met here twenty minutes before. Everyone was doing their own thing by this point.
Yuuto was checking a demonic blade he had created, looking for any imperfections.
Naruto wasn't quite sure why, since he could simply create as many as he wanted. Probably just a swordsman thing, a calming ritual.
The knight of their group had also put on some basic light armor pieces over the academy uniform.
Mainly gauntlets on his hands and some greaves on his shins.
Not enough to slow him down, but enough to possibly offer some vital protection.
Koneko was for once not eating some sweet snack. She was instead reading a book. On her hands were martial art gloves with pink cat prints on them. Otherwise she was wearing the academy uniform.
Rias and Akeno were the two that appeared the calmest. Both were elegantly sipping tea, not showing even a single sign of worry. They were both wearing their academy uniforms.
Raynare looked impatient more than anything. With the knowledge that death was practically impossible in a Rating Game, she seemed to be eagerly looking forward to being to engage in a real battle with no real danger.
Raynare had chosen to go in the academy uniform. While not totally satisfied with using it as a battle outfit, she didn't have much choice.
Apparently she no longer found her previous battle attire from when she was a fallen angel a good choice.
Seems she had regained at least a sense of what was too sensual for proper use in a battle.
Asia was without a doubt the most nervous, but Naruto had managed to calm her down by summoning Kareha.
The former nun had greatly bonded with the fairy over the training trip, and the two were talking together now.
Asia had surprisingly chosen to wear her nun attire. She wasn't wearing the veil, but the golden cross from Selene was around her neck.
Naruto wasn't nervous, but he was similar to Raynare in being impatient for the game to start. Waiting just sucked, not to mention it was plain boring.
He was wearing his workout clothes. Orange sleeveless shirt, white cargo pants, modified shinobi sandals, and a white cloth around his forehead to hold back his hair. He really had to cut it.
It was starting to get a bit too long. He was also wearing the orange and white armored gloves Rias had gotten him.
With five minutes to go, the magic circle in the room lit up. Grayfia quickly appeared. Eyes taking in the room quickly, she asked, "Five minutes until the start of the game. Are you all ready?"
Everyone nodded and stood up. Rias was the one to say, "Yes. We are."
Grayfia quickly started to explain, "When the time comes for the battle to begin, you'll be teleported to the battlefield through this magic circle. The battlefield will be in a separate dimension specifically for this battle. It will be disposed of afterwards. So there is no need to hold back."
They all nodded. Rias had prepped them with this information over the training period.
There were types of Rating Games that have added rules like 'do not destroy the environment' or things like that, but they didn't have to worry about that this time.
Those types of matches are exclusive to official matches. Unofficial matches like this one were kept simple.
Complex rules might end up favoring one team or another. Expected in pro matches, but likely to be viewed as unfair in matches between two houses to solve household issues.
"Members of both houses will be watching live from a separate location. A number of invited guests will also be watching.
After it is done, the recording shall be made available public," Grayfia informed them blankly, although they all picked up the subtle warning in her words.
This was an unofficial match, so it won't be receiving much attention. It will still be available though.
Anyone wanting to research the peerage of the Gremory heiress will end up watching their performance here.
If they put on an unsightly or underwhelming performance, it will affect Rias and the entire Gremory Clan's reputation.
The reverse was true as well though. Perform well here, and people will take note.
Grayfia was a servant of the Gremory Clan, so she wants to emphasize the political consequences this match could have.
