Chương 93: Rating Game: Rias vs Riser

Just like this the week was quite uneventful since Rias and her peerage were all gone to training, Sona was pushing herself to stay busy to prevent herself from becoming stressed out because of her friend's predicament, she felt even more lost when she realized that Masaru was not present at school so there was no one she could play a serious chess with.

Issei managed to survive the harshest pain he ever endured throughout his entire life, Masaru felt that what he accomplish with his unofficial disciple was good enough for the match that was around the corner. Despite no changes appeared on Issei's body, his vitality was strengthened and with his human/devil blood slowly being drained out of his body and replaced with Dragon blood. It was more accurate to call him a triple hybrid, Human, Devil and Dragon.

During their vacation, the Girls became interested in S&M plays as well so Masaru advised them to wait for a while since he, himself is still getting used to this kind of play himself. And he did not immediately start allowing them to experience it first yet, thanks to Akeno who persuasion and explanation the girls understood.

The girls instead made sure to have him spoil them to which he oblige since he loved the girls dearly,even he enjoyed being spoiled by the girls as well.

"The day of the Rating game has arrived" Masaru muttered when he and the girls felt that they were pulled into a special kind of dimension he was very familair with, when he glanced outside the window he realized that the field chosen for the Rating Game was Kuoh Academy.

'So they pitied her and gave her a field advantage? These guys surely think she can't win' Masaru thought as he shake his head, he still admired at how much similarities the field shared with the original.

Since the time has come, Masaru and his peerage all decided to use the Student Council Office as their place to relax and watch the game. It was better to watch a game with more people, the more the merrier they say.

"Oh Masaru, you going to watch the Rating game with us?" Sona asked as she felt surprised that Masaru would come with his entire peerage to the Student Council room.

"Yeah, I simply felt it will be better to watch it together since it's our childhood friend that is fighting out there" Masaru said with a wry smile, he noticed that Saji was shocked of the appearance of his peerage members

"Yo Saji!" Masaru called out.

"Ye- Yeah! Good evening Masaru-sama" Saji greeted him politely since Masaru was equal to Sona he could only grit his teeth and be polite for his beloved Kaichou's sake.

"No need to be formal! We guys are the minority of everyone here" Masaru said with a warm smile,

'I would believe that if you did not throw that cursed bomb at me when we first met' Saji thought while feeling like crying, he felt relieved when he saw Masaru was sitting together with his peerage so he did not have to go and keep this demon king company.

The girls greeted each other while starting a conversation of their own, Akeno chose to sit next to Masaru who sat next to Sona.

"How do you think Rias will do this?" Sona asked while drinking the tea Tsubaki made for her,

"Well that is a hard question, although she trained since last year after the wake up she got from you. She is still facing up against a veteran, although I believe only one member of Riser's peerage is a threat to her" Masaru answered while glancing at both teams on the monitor

"Who?" Sona asked,

"Ravel, she is the same as you. a Strategist, although she is different from you as well. She is the kind of general that can make choices that are not morally acceptable if there is a need for it" Masaru explained what he knew of this little drill head girl.

"However, I must say that Rias is really lucky this time..." Masaru spoke as he looked at the figures moving to their locations.

"Lucky?" Sona asked since she wondered why he would say Rias is lucky right after he said that Ravel posed the most threat to her team.

Masaru smiled meaningfully, "The fact Riser is not using his sister the correct way. Haven't you noticed, every time she tries to give a suggestion he reprimands her? Just looking at his body language and gestures you can see he is angry and taking it out on her by taking complete control with no suggestions from any of the girls. This is the so-called an Alpha Male"

"Alpha Male?" Sona looked at Masaru who laughed.

"It's simpler to call him a Lion who laze about while his lionesses do the work, all he is good for is impregnating them and eating the food they bring for him," Masaru said nonchalantly while feeling amused at how perfect this example did suit Riser.

Hearing this the girls of Sona's peerage all blushed, Saji nodded agreeing with this statement while Masaru's peerage giggled thinking this explanation really does fit Riser.

[This an official Rating game between Rias Gremory and Riser Phoenix, the layout is Kuoh Academy. The Base for Rias will be the Occult Club----] Grayfia spoke monotone about the rules and location of bases.

Currently, Rias was looking at her peerage. She felt more calm and relaxed when she remembered she trained hard for the past year thanks to her best friend's reminder and was thankful to her friend Masaru who presented her a chance to break off her engagement she wanted to break many years ago.

The plans were to split them up in teams and send them to key locations were set Issei and Kiba will be heading for the Gym to draw Riser's peerage members there to contain them, Barold will be in charge of the tennis field which is close to the Occult Club room to guard the Base as a Rook.

Meanwhile, Sara will move around the battlefield taking out any members that split from their teams, she will also prepare several large scale spells to take out grouped enemies all at once.

Asia, however, was pushed to hide in the tennis club storage room with a special necklace to prevent her from being detected, this location was close to where Issei and Kiba were, as well as where Barold was.

This way she can immediately run to aid those who get injured in combat instead of being hold up with Rias in the base, this was the first proper decision Rias made as a king. This way each member will bring their share of effort to win this game.

Masaru naturally gave Rias some Healing, Stamina & Magic Recovery potions in order to advertise his created products that might not be as effective as Phoenix Tears but it is still close to it.

Although the real reason was that Masaru knew the Phenex team will have tears on them and say it was because there were no rules prohibiting it, he knew that Riser was a scum and he felt he should also play dirty aiding the team he want to win since he dislikes Riser's attitude.

[Let the game begin!]

Masaru leaned back on the couch, he smiled wryly at Shirone who came to sit on his lap, since everyone was used to this no one complained.While gently caressing Shirone's hair, Masaru glanced at Issei 'Don't let me down, stupid disciple' he thought

From the looks of it three pawns and rook from Riser team decided to meet up against Issei and Kiba, Kiba was holding down a rook the rook while Issei was holding his own against the three pawns. Everyone was shocked at how Issei was performing against three pawns with such ease unlike his weak countenance a week ago.

"I heard you trained Issei, I just did not expect him to grow this much" Sona said as she pushed up her glasses in surprise.

"He would have been able to do this much even without training, his sacred gear is that much of a cheat" Masaru said, yet he still felt a bit proud.

The fight became intense, even Masaru could not help but squint his eyes when he sense a mysterious force gathering in the left hand of Issei. After breaking the staff of the pawn, Issei tapped the shoulders of all three girls before taking a pose, a strange glint in his's eyes.

"This is the fruit of my three days of training with Asia after I managed to escape that hell of training, so please receive it! My prove that I will become a Harem king!" Issei screamed out loud.

"Dress Break!" Issei snapped his fingers, suddenly magic circles appeared on the locations he touched the girls before the scene of how the clothes shredding apart revealing the naked bodies of all three girls on the monitor.

"Oh ho!" Masaru chuckled when he saw this scene.

"You can't look!" Shirone turned around closing his eyes feeling jealous.

"Ara? He is quite naughty" Akeno lightly commanded as she pinched Masaru's waist since she too did not like him looking at girls that were not in his harem.

Masaru smiled wryly but in honesty, he was shocked. He simply could not imagine how that stupid disciple managed to create such a scam technique, unless a girl had a will of iron they would become nothing more than maidens once the clothes are shredded.

'I approve of this technique' Masaru thought, since he will never have the guts to do such shameful things so openly, he is the heir of a big family after all. Yet he could enjoy such scenes done by someone else, such joy for him and sorrow for the girls. 'Thank you for your sacrifice ladies, for the sake of our entertainment' He thought in prayer.

"Disgusting..." Shirone muttered when she saw what happened, Ichika came to wipe the blood from Masaru's nose before anyone noticed.

Akeno touched her lips feeling just as surprised, "Ara ara, I wonder if Masaru would want to do that with me?"

"!?" Masaru coughed in surprise when he looks at Akeno who looked at him lecherously. The girls of Masaru's peerage gave him provocation glances for him to dare say it openly.

Masaru had already experienced many shameful things in his life, and one more thing would not make a difference so he thickened his face and said it with a lecherous smile "Yep, but in private instead. Don't want others to see what is mine after all"

Masaru answer made the girls in his peerage to nod feeling happy while Sona and her peerage was not sure how to take this.

"But this technique... Is this disciple of mine intend to walk this direction? Sure he will become quite famous among girls but in a bad sense that is..." Masaru spoke while laughing at how amusing the situation was. Such a thing never happened in a Rating game, and the funny thing was that it was not against the Rules!

Shirone made sure to lightly pinch Masaru, "Don't become like that"

Masaru gently caresses her ears causing Shirone to flinch and even moan a little causing the kitty cat to blush, he truly looked forward to such rating games in the future. However, he will have to come up with countermeasure for his own girls.

[Three Pawns and One Rook of Riser team Retired]

After the four opponents had been dealt with, Issei and Yuuto left the gym heading in the direction of Barold, however, they came across Siris and Karlamine the two knights of Riser along with Isabela, who attacked him.

"It seems it is true, you have trained hard... Knight of Gremory" Siris spoke as she was feeling happy that Yuuto dodged her attack at the last moment.

Isabela was looking at Issei who managed to boost enough to handle her direct attack with his hand. "Oh ho? Your the same type of fighter as me huh?"

Issei could only stare at her boobs thinking how he could rip them out for him to see them, Karlamine who saw Issei's lecherous eyes could not help but comment "Is he a pervert?"

Yuuto bowed towards them after he managed to make some distance between him and Siris "I'm sorry for my friend"

"Aiya! That is one thing I never thought of dealing with" Masaru said while slapping his forehead, being lecherous was fine but it appears he underestimated his disciple.

Suddenly the two knights and Yuuto started to engage in a fierce sword fight.

"Sword Birth!"

When Kiba stabbed his sword into the ground making blades of swords began to erupt from the ground up causing the two girls to have no other choice but to take flight which was what Yuuto wanted, he trained something interesting his Sensei told him what Masaru did.

"Sword Birth!"

Yuuto conjured several swords mid-air using his demonic energy to make the swords float like flying swords before sending them off like arrows, Karlamine was unfortunate as the sword attacks were simply unexpected totally unimaginable that she would expect him to create such an attack with his sacred gear.

"Eh!? He learnt the same technique I use?" Jeanne asked feeling surprised when she saw this.

"Yes, since I used it before him once he trained in this. He probably considered it a good technique to master for ranged attacks" Masaru explained at they continued to watch.

[Riser Team: One Knight Retired!]

"To think you would create such a bizarre attack method with your sacred gear as if your shooting bullets of Magic" Siris commented while hovering in the skies.

Yuuto took his stance once again "It is because I have a senior brother who trained under the same Master that I have to at least live up to his expectations... Otherwise, I will not only bring shame to my master but also to him"

Soon the fight between both of them took off in the skies.

Issei and Isabela were currently combating quite close to one another, after undergoing training that Masaru gave him, Issei could handle Isabela's strikes although he knew better than anyone he could not tank the hits all the time.

With no technique, Issei amateurishly dodged and scramble around to avoid the dangerous attacks, Issei was patient for his lust he had to wait for the perfect moment. That will be his finisher touch.

When he dodged her one strike, he managed to get a hit in touching her the cleavage of her breasts, without wasting even a moment he immediately called out his technique clicking his fingers

"Burst Open for me! Dress Break!"

Even Siris who was fighting Yuuto was distracted at the sight of Isabela's clothes being blown off allowing Yuuto to take her down. "To help me win a fight like this, Issei you truly are unfair" Yuuto muttered with a wry smile.

[Riser Team: One Knight retired]

Hearing this notification distracted Isabella as well allowing Issei and Yuuto to take her down swiftly as well.

[Riser Team: one Rook Retired]

>\/<

"What the hell is going on!?" Riser was screaming out of Rage, his plan was to have his peerage handle the low level mobs while he will go towards Rias's base.

But the successive retirement messages with no one from Rias's team falling out and only his began to make him desperate, it could only be his own fault for looking down on his opponent and not listening to his sister's warning.

'Should I have listened to Ravel? NO! I am the king! I never lost before because our family power make us immortal!' he thought.

Riser materialized his fire wings and flew off to face Rias in hopes to redeem his reputation.

>\/<

"To think Rias grew this much" Zeoticus was watching the Rating Game, he naturally knew Masaru told Sirzech not to cage Rias so she could spread her wings and to think this was the results of only one year of training made him realize just how much time they wasted as she could have possibly become a Ultimate Rank by now like Masaru if she trained hard from an early age.

"It's good to see her actively moving forward... It's about time. However, that boy... I heard Masaru trained him personally" Venelana spoke feeling quite proud of her daughter who stood up for her own Dignity, however, she was much interested in Issei despite the unique techniques he uses that would make women scorn him she was more openminded of such things.

'Perhaps, I should ask Masaru if he is doing what I think he is' Venelana thought

>\/<

"He was correct, my son has truly been overboard with his arrogant attitude and it is reflecting on our image" Lord Phenex spoke, because Riser was pure blood and purebloods were rare in the past he could not bear to scold his children since they were important to the Devil world, but he was reminded of Masaru's words he could only agree that this needs to end.

"I will leave the education of Riser to you, but I am removing Ravel from his team after this. To think he would release his frustrations on her is simply unacceptable!" Lady Phenex spoke harshly as she felt her son had disappointed her more than enough.

>\/<

[Riser Team One Bishop Retired!]

"I did not expect you to know where we were" a busty woman with long, wavy purple hair that falls all the way down her back and matching eyes spoke to Sara who was in front of her.

"You simply are paying for looking down on us, Yubelluna and Ravel" Sara looked at the twin drill blonde hair girl looking at the two of them.

'This is bad, with how we underestimated them we are losing too rapidly' Ravel thought.

She wanted to turn things around but Riser will simply tell her to keep quiet so she could only endure this humiliating match and hope it ends fast. 'It's him... Why do I feel I am seeing his shadow behind Rias Gremories team?'

Suddenly the fight between Mages started, Sara never had a problem with using her fallen angel powers which caused Yubelluna and Ravel to have trouble dealing with the light/Holy element of Sara's attacks, even their phoenix tears were extremely limited.

This standstill motion continued but soon the battle tilt to Sara's favour as she was consuming the potions Rias gained from Masaru which assisted her in replenishing her mana.

"That is unfair!" Ravel screamed but Sara revealed a rare smile

"Same goes for your phoenix tears so kindly leave" Suddenly the number of light spears went beyond their expectation as Sara release them.

[Riser Team: Bishop & Queen Retired!]

>\/<

"Did you give them the potions?" Sona asked Masaru who was enjoying his snacks.

Masaru nodded "yep, I am using Rias to advertise my products for everyone to see. With this Phoenix Tear supplies will be less in demand allowing them to have a breather, my potions can then be used during Rating Games since it is not a instant potion it will suit the Rating game much better allowing us to use Phoenix Tears only in places where it gets really dangerous like real battles"

"Your really shrewd businessman," Sona said despite feeling what Masaru did was ingenious.

Hearing Sona's comment Masaru laughed, "I am only using this to my intentions since the two families can allow this as a form of compensation for the trouble they caused"

Masaru looked at the game "But, I am more surprised at Yuuto's growth, to think he learnt a new way to make use of his sacred gear instead of just stab and summon all the time that is simply too predictable"

'It soon will be time for you to show me your determination, so I can entrust my childhood friend to you' He thought

>\/<

"Issei, you need to learn some other technique... That... Move is not right" Yuuto spoke as the two of them were heading to the tennis courtyard to meet up with Barold.

"WHY!? It took me so long to learn it and I succeeded after Asia made so many sacrifices for me!" Issei complained and refused to give up on his Godly Technique Dress Break which allows him to see breasts legally since it is after all a disarm magic spell according to the rules.

Sudden another two pawns appeared in front of Kiba and Issei.

"We can't lose anymore" Marion spoke while sending off magic bullets towards Kiba forcing him to enter a defensive stance as he wanted to know if this girl had any other tricks, meanwhile Issei was jumping and leaping past trees dodging the demonic Bullets from Bulent like a complete amateur.

"What is up with this boy? HEY! Stop moving and obediently just retire already!" Issei felt his fighting spirit surge as he screams

"I refuse! I have not seen enough breast in this match yet"

"huh?"

"Huh?"

The two girls looked at him as if he was a madman while Kiba only bowed apologizing to them, but using this chance Issei took his stance when he charged enough boosts "Take this! Dragon Shot!"

By gathering his energy moulding it into a sphere in front of his right hand, when he punched it with his left gauntlet fist the sphere turned into a bright beam destroying everything in its path as it heads towards the two unfortunate pawns who were taken by surprise.

[Riser Team: Two Pawns Retired]

It was only when Issei heard Grayfia's voice he collapse on the ground with dead fish eyes, mumbling

"But I did not use dress break on them... The... The breast... The breasts are... The Breasts are gone!"

He suddenly breaks down crying his heart out feeling injustice, how could he be so stupid although Kiba felt surprised as he thought his friend was being smart using his perversion to create a opening, he never thought of doing such despicable things but he could give a thumb up for Issei being smart.

Although poor Kiba totally misunderstood the entire thing.

>\/<

While Sara, Yuuto and Issei were returning to the Tennis court, Barold was already dragonified like his family's power of dragon's symbolized, similar to Nero Brune of the Military he could transform into a humanoid dragon while he was having a hard time dealing with Ni and Li.

He knew once punch can knock them out right away but they were simply too fast and their natural reflexive sensitivity because of their cat nature allowed them to dodge attacks with more ease.

But the moment Sara arrived it was simply a one-sided battle even with Shuriya who was together with the two nekomata's could not handle the light/holy elements of Sara's attacks. When Yuuto and Issei arrived it was when the prompts came

[Riser Team: Three pawns retired]

>\/<

"Now you see why I told you to go and be blunt with Rias? Just this small change has allowed her to change her fate, she has the potential to begin with but needed someone to go up and smack some sense in" Masaru spoke.

The match was a bit boring because the one side was simply too arrogant and complacent they did not expect Rias's team to be this skilled, it was only Issei that was a later comer that was still not properly trained yet which was also good because they judged the entire peerage as weak because of Issei.

"Rias is really lucky, her enemies looked down on her and even mistook her peerage capabilities because of the new pawn... So it was really a match won because of her luck" Masaru said

"Will things be fine?" Sona asked, this rating game was as good as won since Sara was still active even with his phenex bloodline, Riser was already doomed to fail.

"It will be, this rating game shown everything the respective parties need to see. If this can't open their eyes then I will leave them" Masaru spoke seriously, Sona did not answer as she too thought it was true if this could not wake them up then what will.

Masaru watch RIser arriving at the Base of Rias only to find her entire peerage has been waiting for him, Masaru did not pay attention to what Riser was screaming.

"You low level devils don't realize what you are getting involved in!?" Masaru only paid attention to Issei who stepped forward screaming quite a bucket load of corny lines.

"You force girls to love you, force them to marry you! You treat them like dolls only to please your lust! You are not worthy of Rias Gremory, I will show my determinatiion!" Issei yelled at the top of his lungs, his eyes became pale green and slit like that of a dragon as he began to manipulate the dragon aura within his body.

"Ddraig! Let's go! Overboost!" Issei called out, even Rias knew what happened. Just from see Issei's eyes she knew. That he sacrificed something for the sake of power, for her sake.

"I will not allow you to make Rias cry! NEVER EVER!" Issei yelled at the top of his lungs as flames erupts below him and shrouded him.

[Welsh Dragon! OVERBOOSTER!]

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!]

Hearing this notification alarmed everyone as they did not expect this insignificant pawn to be able to grasp that power, only Rias and some veteran devils realize this boy was determined to win even if he sacrifices himself.

"WHAT!?" Riser was surprised at the scene, he was not prepared for Issei who alread leapt towards him with incredibly speed.

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]

[Explosion!]

BOOM!

With a simple punch Riser was sent flying crashing into the school building, but it did not stop there. Since the transformation was only a few minutes left, Issei rushed over and began to pummel Riser. Although Riser retaliated, since Issei gained traits of Ddraig his resistance to fire was much stronger than before.

Due to this Riser could only receive a massive beating to the point that the judges felt it was time to stop the game, as such a scene will only bring shame to the Phenex family and make them a laughing stock.

'heh, it appears my training has brought him some good luck. And a nice beating for that chicken to boot!' Masaru thought

"Rias Gremory's virginity is mine!" Issei shouted

Masaru heard this felt cold sweat run down his back just imaging the embarrassment Rias had to endure, even he who trained Issei considered if he should cut ties. 'This stupid disciple, just how much of an embarrassment could he become' Masaru thought as he sighed.

"Ara? It seems this boy is serious about chasing his master" Akeno commented.

The girls in Masaru's peerage did not like Issei's perversion, however, they supported him since all boys were lecherous it just depends on how open they are about it and not to mention Issei was much more sincere in his feelings toward Rias. Compared with Riser, Issei was naturally much better choice.

'But Master is still the best' The girls thought together while glancing at Masaru who was rubbing his forehead..

[Game is decided by the Judges! Rias Gremory Wins!]

"What!?" Riser felt everything he planned came crushing down, Judges? In rage he began to scream

"Who the hell is the judge!? I will kill him myself!!" Riser yelled as he glared into the skies.

Suddenly a projection appeared in front of Riser causing him to become limp falling on his knees with disbelief, it was his father. "You have truly disappointed Riser, not only did you lose pathetically but your acts during the game towards your peerage and sister was unappropriating as a family member of the Phenex family."

Lord Phenex glanced at his son feeling furious, "As Head of the family, I will strip you off of your title as the third son as you no longer have any right to contend for the head of the family position. and your peerage will be separated from you till you show me some changes."
