Chapter 23 : Xuelan

"Here it is President. President, if you would, I can make traps in the forest near our base so that when Riser's Pawns make their way through there we can ambush them and put them out of commission."

He said as he presented the map of school to Rias and showed her where he was planning to set up his traps for the unwanted guests that would be making their way here.

"Yes, that look's like a perfect place to set them Kiba you go do that, while Akeno will create a mist so that they don't spot the traps."

She agreed to his plan as it looked perfect for reducing the manpower gape between them.

"Yes, President." Was the reply from both the blonde knight and priestess of thunder.

"Meanwhile Koneko, I want Issei and you to go to the Gym and hold of Riser's pieces that will be there until Akeno finish making her mist and when she give's you the signal retreat so that she can blow it up.

And hopefully, take some of the enemies with it. After that, you will regroup near the track field whit Kiba and push forward toward's Riser's base." Rias told her group.

"And what do you want me to do princess?" Raynare questioned as she noticed that she wasn't mentioned in the plan.

"I need you to stay here and support me if some of the enemies piece brake throw here. Since you have a healing gear it would be a suicide to send you to the front with others, on that note, if some of you are too injured retreat so that Raynare can heal you.

Even if one of you are to be put out of the game it could be catastrophic for us." She explained her whole plan to the group as she knows that she would need all of them to beat Riser.

"Yes, President." Came the reply from her group as they went to finish their preparations for the upcoming battle.

"Issei, Raynare here," Akeno said as she gave the duo two small transceivers.

"What are they for?" Issei asked as he looked over the small transceiver that he was given.

"That's for communicating with us during a fight. Everyone has one and don't worry each High-Class Devil get's his set of transceivers so that it can't listen in during the game.

So when I finish with the mist I will tell you when to evacuate so you don't get also blown up hehe."

Akeno snickered as her Sadistic side begun to creep up making both Raynare and Issei back away from her as they shivered in fear.

"Y-yeah I will keep that in mind. Thanks, Akeno." He said as he composed himself to a task ahead of him.

-Your 5 minutes to strategies is up. The Rating Game between the House of Gremory and The House of Phoniex begins now.- Grayfia announces as the school bell rings to signalized the start of the battle.

RING RING RING RING

"All right my adorable servants go out there and make me proud."

"Yes!" They all shouted as they left the ORC building to face off against whatever Riser had to offer.

Akeno immediately took to the sky's and started creating a mist to cover Kiba as he started putting traps in the wood's just West of the clubroom to ambush and take out any opposition that may come.

Issei and Koneko made their way towards the Gym that was a strategic position from where both sides could come into direct contact with one another.

In essence who controlled the Gym controlled the field. So instead of controlling it and in fear of losing her pieces, Rias decided to after getting the opening skirmish with Risers pieces to evacuate her's and let her Queen blow up those that were left inside.

"Koneko what do you think? Do we have a chance against someone as Riser? Issei questioned as they were closing in on the Gym with no opposition.

"Yes, we have. Issei, watch out there are three enemies that I can sense in the Gym."

Koneko answered in her emotionless tone that made Issei wonder does she had any emotions what so ever.

"Okay, thanks for the tip. Now how do we go about this?" Issei mussed as he saw Koneko going to the back door.

He decided that it was time to use his Sacred Gear as it immediately started to power him up

"Booster Gear." He quietly said as the gear appears on his left arm.

[BOOST] Ddraig voice was heard as he announced the power up

"Well let's start this party, don't you think Koneko?" Issei asked her as she just nodded and entered the Gym.

"Well look what the trash brought." Said a voice that Issei thought it belongs to a kid.

"Come on you douchebags, we don't have time to play hide and seek with you." Spoke another voice this time it was a lot matured then the last.

"Oi oi, stop with the insult's we know that you are all arrogant but sheesh this is too much," Issei declared as Koneko and he made them self-know.

"So what do we have here a midget and a wannabe Red Dragon Emperor?"

Said again the mature voice that Issei now saw came from the beautiful well-endowed young woman of Chinese descent with shoulder-length black hair and blue-green outfit consisted of a navy blue qipao with gold accents, a white sash around her stomach, and black, low-heeled shoes.

Her outfit gave Issei an almost perfect view of her breast and legs that were on full display much to his pleasure. Beside her, there were three more girls that in Issei opinion look cute.

"Midget?" Koneko said in a low tone as her eyebrow twitched from that insult about her size.

"Well seeing that you girls know who we are mind introducing yourselves to us?" Issei politely questioned as he would love to know those beautiful girls.

"My name is Xuelan, The Rook of Lord Riser." The Chinese beauty answered while getting in battle position.
