Seeing the change in Micael who was now shirtless, the three who were watching in the corner had varied reactions, Rias had a slightly serious expression, as if noticing the big change in Micael...but the almost imperceptible blush on her face broke this seriousness.
Kiba had his hand on his chin in a focused gaze, seeming to try to understand what kind of skill or technique Micael was using, his eyes glued to his analyzing figure.
And Akeno...well, Akeno was smiling in a soft way and her eyes were half-closed, she didn't look suspicious but the look she gave was strange and what was she thinking...
'Fufufu~'
Well, only she knew.
And with Koneko, with her seeing Micael's change and hearing his words, she squinted her eyes as she looked at him.
And of course, also noticing his exposed torso, she thought internally, wanting to snort.
'Pervert.'
She didn't know exactly what was happening, but it was clear to her that he had gotten stronger, but that didn't matter to her, she would still overpower him in the end.
Then, accepting the invitation, she spoke.
"Sure."
Before attacking, her body turned into a blur as she charged towards him.
...
In just a few minutes, the grassy ground changed almost completely, looking more like land that had been bombarded.
With pieces of earth, rocks and grass randomly scattered around the place, a few holes here and there of varying depths, it really looked like bombs had exploded in this place.
And the culprits of this scenario, Koneko and Micael, were at that moment close to each other, with Micael sitting on the floor and Koneko standing in front of him.
"You're crazy."
Koneko said looking at the boy sitting in front of her, her condition wasn't much different from before, her uniform was dirty with dirt, her hands and face were also dirty with dirt, as well as her hair was a little messy.
Other than that, there was a tear in her clothes, the sleeve of her uniform was hanging by a small piece of fabric, exposing part of her right shoulder, but other than those things she was fine, with no injuries, whether cuts or bruises.
And she didn't look tired either, her breathing was normal and she appeared to have barely sweated, apparently with the light reflecting off the moisture on her forehead being the only sign of sweat on her body.
Raising his lowered head and looking at her, Micael spoke between a deep breath.
"Crazy?...Huff, you're the damn psychopath here, brat."
He said, before lowering his head again, focusing again on catching his breath.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling forcefully in sequence, Micael's state was a little different from Koneko's, starting with his obvious tiredness, his body, in addition to being much dirtier than Koneko's, was also covered in sweat, with damp hair. and with drops continually running down his chin.
The dirt stains covered a large part of his body, whether on his chest, back or shorts, especially on his hands, which were much dirtier to the point of changing his skin tone to a darker brown tone.
Furthermore, he also had no bruises or cuts, appearing not to have been hurt too much, but well, he didn't call Koneko a psychopath for nothing.
During the fight, the girl ended up seriously injuring him, causing a long gash to appear on his ribs, but soon after the wound appeared, he used ripple in short bursts, slowly healing the wound while still fighting.
Realizing this, that he could actually heal himself, the girl immediately changed her fighting style, starting to attack more aggressively and erratically.
If before she attacked him with the intention of knocking him out, now she attacked with the intention of causing as much damage as possible, mainly targeting his torso, arms and legs.
There was a moment when the girl seemed particularly focused on hitting his chest, but he had the distinct impression that this was motivated by envy considering the way she stared at his chest every time she attacked, after all his chest was literally bigger than her breasts.
So, he was practically beaten, with each attack she made almost breaking his bones and if it wasn't for the demon's back they probably would have broken, but it wasn't completely one-sided.
He managed to land some good punches and kicks on her, even though she didn't have any bruises, she must have certainly been feeling a lot of pain at that moment, especially on her face where he hits her the most.
And another thing he also noticed was that Ripple didn't affect her like it did the vampires in Jojo, which wasn't too surprising, even though it was light, it wasn't the same thing as light magic, it was essentially radiation from the sun.
But since he didn't actively use it to hurt her, he wasn't sure, he just let the sparks produced by Ripple when he healed himself touch her, seeing that it had no effect.
It might work, but not to the same extent as light and holy magic, but even without testing it he was sure it worked on the vampires of this world, because if he remembered correctly they had the same weakness against the sun.
And the reason she called him crazy was that even though he was beaten, he never backed down, always fighting back with the same intensity as her, unreachable, as if he didn't feel pain.
There came a point where he started to smile, and this probably contributed to her calling him crazy, but he didn't realize he was smiling until much later, after all he was too excited about something to notice.
And something he noticed was that he was getting stronger while the fight was going on thanks to the demon's back, so he knew that during and after the fight when he recovered, he would get stronger.
That's why he smiled, not because he was a fighting fanatic, but because he was a strength fanatic, knowing that he was getting stronger at such a breakneck speed compared to before was almost addictive to him.
And that's how the fight continued, ending less than a minute ago, but just before they stopped, there was a certain incident that made the girl attack more aggressively, almost in a crazy way.
The girl had attacked him and he dodged, making a counterattack, but then instead of dodging or blocking, the girl grabbed his fist, using her superior physical strength to immobilize him.
Reacting quickly before the girl tried to do anything with her arm, he jumped behind her and then, using the arm that was still held by her, performed a rear naked choke, taking advantage of her immobilization to his advantage.
The point is that the use of the rear naked choke was practically instinctive, he didn't think and simply executed the technique, but it turned out that, like all submission techniques...close contact with the body is necessary.
In other words, at the moment he immobilized her by the neck with his arms, he also used his legs, practically pinning himself to her, but that was precisely the problem.
Because, when you cling to a person like that, the result would be your private parts touching the person's back, which in this situation with Koneko would be bad enough, but as she was much shorter, his crotch ended up touching her...ass.
Then, without him meaning to, he had his "dragon balls" and his "brown eel" being pressed against the poor unsuspecting girl's ass.
So, upon feeling that extremely soft, warm and very, very, (seriously), very comfortable sensation, which he won't deny was satisfying for being an honest man, he immediately realized his mistake, immediately moving away from the girl afterwards.
After all, he was a knight and mostly didn't want to be arrested by the FBI, so even if it was an accident, he moved away the next second after touching her.
But the damage was already done, as he didn't even have time to say anything when the girl suddenly appeared in front of him with a red face and an intense look, apparently wanting to cause him a lot of pain and suffering.
And so it continued with the girl hitting him more aggressively for a while while he fought back with the same intensity, ignoring all the pain, until they finally stopped, which is what leads to the current situation.
The girl was calm again, seeming to have decided to ignore the previous incident by standing in front of him, and Micael was on the ground, catching his breath.
Hearing Micael call her a brat again, Koneko snorted as she said.
"Humph, don't call me a brat."
Hearing the words spoken and raising his head to look at her, he spoke with a faint smile.
"Why?"
Then, getting up, he continued.
"What would you prefer me to call you then? Little one?"
Looking at him blankly, she replied.
"Don't call me anything, use my name."
Still with a slight smile on his face, he replied. — "Okay, Koneko-chan." — His hand moving and rubbing her head as he spoke
Frowning slightly, Koneko slapped his hand as she responded. — "Don't get my hair dirty." — As she moved her hands to the head and fixed her messy hair.
Micael just smiled in response, noticing that the girl didn't seem averse to his touch or even minding him calling her Koneko-chan.
There are several types of situations in which two people who practically don't know each other quickly get closer, one of which in the case of two men is a fight.
And in the case where it was a man and a woman they would have sex, but his situation with Koneko would be the first example, after this brutal sparing, where they constantly hit each other, what seemed to be the beginning of a friendship was formed.
With the girl, seemingly oblivious, acting very familiar towards him, that distance that exists between two strangers who have just met no longer exists.
And this was probably also due to the respect that the girl acquired for him, he noticed the way she looked at him when they fought, when she knocked him down and he continually got up, appearing to have an unbreakable willpower.
The girl certainly had a certain respect for him now, even if the girl herself didn't seem to realize it, in the end, Micael found this development funny and interesting.
From the beginning, his goal with this sparring was to not only demonstrate his powers, but also to use Koneko as a whetstone and become stronger, as he assumed that if he said he was an expert in hand-to-hand combat to Rias, she would would probably ask him to fight Koneko.
He just had to act a little uninformed, even though he didn't need this manipulation and could have just suggested it to Koneko herself after receiving the explanation of the chess pieces, he still preferred to do it this way, do what, old habits die hard.
But anyway, thinking about everything that had happened so far, Micael's smile grew a little, as he looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, and of course all this while ignoring the sharp and burning pain in his eyes, the blurred vision and sharp pain in the head.
Seeing how Micael looked at her with a slight smile, Koneko took a step back while looking at him suspiciously.
"Don't look at me like that, you look like a weirdo."
Seeing the girl's behavior and hearing what she said, Micael just laughed lightly in a carefree manner as he responded.
"Hahaha~ and you too, doorman of a model."
Upon hearing what Micael thought, a vein appeared on her forehead just as she was about to speak.
"Kuhum."
But she was interrupted by a sound of clearing her throat coming from RIas who was approaching along with the other two.
Approaching with a strange smile on her face, Rias calmly reached them, stopping as she said.
"Well, it was quite a sparring session, you really are something else, Micael."
Looking at Rias and seeing her smile that gave a strange sanction, as if she was forcing it, Micael was confused for a moment before coming up with an idea.
'She definitely saw the previous incident with Koneko, but what is that reaction? Don't tell me she's jealous?'
Making an expressionless face internally, Micael wondered if the girl had really fallen in love with him that easily, even when they had barely spoken three times.
'No, it's probably some kind of female competitiveness, maybe she feels like she "lost" to Koneko in some kind of crazy competition in her head.'
With his eyes focused on the girl looking at him, he continued to reflect.
'Or maybe she's attracted to me but hasn't realized it yet, after all, one of the few things I remember from the anime was that Rias only considered Issei as her 'cute Kouhai' until he saved her from the wedding, with her kissing him and recognizing her own feelings.'
'Hmm...I don't know, my memory might be wrong, it's been a long time since I saw the anime, but either way, I'll keep an eye out from now on to see if I find any more telltale signs.'
With his inner reflection tuning out, he crossed his arms as he responded to her.
"I hope you liked what you saw then."
With the smile on her face becoming less awkward and feeling more genuine, she responded.
"But of course, I'm more than happy to work with you from now on."
Nodding at her, he extended his hand for a shake as he said.
"If that is the case, may our partnership be lasting."
Now smiling genuinely, she extended her hand accepting the shake as she responded along with a brief nod.
"I wish the same."
They then shook hands, swaying slightly as they looked at each other.
"Then in that case, I say the same Micael-kun~ it will definitely be a pleasure to work with you."
Akeno said standing next to RIas, extending her hand for a shake as well.
Separating his hand from RIas's and accepting Akeno's, he nodded in silent agreement as he looked at her smiling expression.
"I say the same, Alves-san, it will be a pleasure to work with you."
Kiba said next as he stepped forward, smiling brightly as he held out his hand.
"...Right."
Accepting the handshake, Micael responded calmly, without commenting on how strange it sounded for a man to say that to him.
Seeing that everything was already resolved, Rias then spoke.
"Let's go back and go in then, you guys need to rest and clean up now, don't you?"
She said this as she turned and walked back to the building, with Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko close behind.
Remaining where he was, Micael pointed to the ground as he asked.
"What about the ground? Is it going to stay like that?"
Looking over her shoulder, Rias replied while smiling.
"Don't worry, this will be resolved later, now come with us."
Upon hearing the girl's response and seeing how unconcerned they seemed as they approached the building, Micael shrugged his shoulders before following them heading towards the building as well.
Crossing the destroyed grassy ground, he soon found himself in front of the door that was held by Akeno.
He then walked through the door waving to the girl and thanking her, with the girl with the soft smile nodding in acknowledgment as she closed it.
