Promotion Test 1

In the early morning, everyone gathered in the basement of Hyoudou residence and stood up on the top of the transport magic-circle to go to the underworld.

"I am quite nervous now," Issei said.

"Calm down. You have worked hard to this day," Kiba said.

Issei remembered the day that he had spent during summer to practice and study every day while sacrificing his summer holiday for this day.

Everyone in Gremory's peerage was wearing Kuoh school uniform since they were more comfortable to wear this uniform.

Yuuki had worn his disguise since he still wanted to hide his identity until the Khaos Brigade had been destroyed. He looked at Rias and said, "So the one who has a test is going to go to the stadium directly?"

Rias nodded, "Yes. Issei, Kiba, Akeno, and Koneko will go to the stadium first. We're going to the hotel first before we go to the stadium."

Yuuki nodded and didn't mind with her arrangement, "Shirone, good luck." He said while caressing her head.

"Hmm...." Koneko nodded at him.

"How about me?" Akeno asked.

"Well, I am sure that you will become a middle-rank demon without problem but let me give you a lucky charm," Yuuki said and kissed her forehead tenderly.

Akeno wasn't sure since Yuuki usually kissed her lips or her lower mouth but this time it was different and she felt really sweet inside. She caressed her forehead that had been kissed by him while looking at his gentle smile.

"Go back and we can have fun after that," Yuuki said.

Akeno had become similar to a docile kitten while hugging his body. She gave him a nod and told him that she would go back as soon as possible.

"...."

They weren't sure but they felt that they had eaten dog food looking at their interaction.

'Can you flirt in another place?' They thought inwardly.

Issei was really jealous and asked, "Where is Gasper?"

"He is at Grigori's research institute," Azazel said.

"...."

"By himself?" Issei was surprised.

"Right after the match against Bael. He came to me while crying," Azazel said and seemed quite happy, "He was a hikikomori and also a coward. Even so, he came knocking onto the gate of Grigori, so it's not some weak determination. Right about now, he is probably facing his own Sacred Gear training in Grigori's research institute."

Issei looked at Yuuki, Kuroka, Le Fay, and Ophis, "What are they going to do?"

"They're going to the hotel since it'll be impossible to bring them to the stadium," Azazel said and added, "I have planned to bring Ophis to Sirzech's house after your test. That's why you guys will also go to Sirzech's place after the test is over."

"There is a big meaning in bringing Ophis to Sirzech-sama, right?" Issei asked.

Azazel nodded and said, "Yeah. If possible, I want this to go in the right direction even if it's only a little bit. A negotiation that had been said to be impossible may now be possible. It's a big step. I don't know what Ophis is thinking, but because of it, it may be possible to avoid a continued fight. If everything goes well, the enemy organization itself may collapse and split up. If that happens it will become possible to crush them one by one. If they lose the power of Ophis's snake, defeating them occurs earlier than we had thought." He looked at everyone and said, "Then, you guys need to be ready and good luck with your test."

"YES!!!!!"

Issei, Kiba, Akeno, and Koneko stood up on the top of the magic circle.

Issei looked at Rias and wanted to say something.

"What's wrong, Issei?" Rias asked him.

Issei opened his mouth and closed his mouth for a while before shaking his head, "Nothing."

Rias felt weird but nodded, "Good luck, everyone. We'll be waiting in Onii-sama's place."

"Shirone, beat them all, nyaa," Kuroka said.

Koneko nodded and looked at Yuuki.

"Hmm?" Yuuki noticed Koneko's gaze. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you want a lucky charm too?"

"...."

Koneko blushed and hung her head down since she was too shy to look at him.

"....."

Yuuki looked at Kuroka and said, "Let's give your little sister a lucky charm together."

Kuroka nodded with a smile, "That's a good idea, nyaa!"

"Eh?" Koneko wa surprised then suddenly she was kissed by both Yuuki and Kuroka on both of her cheeks.

"I am proud of you, nyaa" Kuroka smiled.

"Let's have a feast after you have come back," Yuuki smiled.

Koneko nodded with a smile even though she was a bit disappointed.

Issei, Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno were enveloped by a bright light before teleporting together to the stadium to take their exam together.

"Are you not going to make my little sister your mate, nyaa?" Kuroka asked.

"She is still small," Yuuki answered.

"Then, what about the princess in that theme park?" Kuroka asked.

"She is 24 years old," Yuuki said.

"....."

"Really?" Kuroka asked with a surprised expression since she remembered Latifa was quite small but she didn't expect that little princess was older than her.

"Yeah, she has cursed her body," Yuuki said, and added, "But don't worry, I have taken care of her cursed." He solved Latifa's curse when both of them became one after the 'Summer Slam'.

"I want to meet her, nyaa!" Kuroka said and added, "I am also curious about Isuzu's lost paradise."

"What's this 'Lost Paradise'?" Azazel was a bit curious when he heard about this 'lost paradise'.

"It's one of the abilities of my secretary," Yuuki said.

"What ability?" Rias was also curious.

"It's the ability to turn any man into impotence or unable to stand up," Yuuki answered.

"....."

"Really?" Azazel had become pale and asked him once again.

"Do you want to try it?" Yuuki asked him with a mischievous smile.

"...."

"How about we go to the hotel first?!" Azazel said to everyone with a pale expression.

"...."

They chuckled before teleporting together at the hotel, waiting for Kiba, Issei, Akeno, and Koneko to finish their test.
