Chapter 119: I Heard What You Said

In a pitch-black space, a multitude of strange figures sat upon thrones, watching a 30-meter-wide pool of water before them. Reflected in the pool was the scene of Kuoh Academy.

At this moment, the figures on the thrones were engaged in heated discussion.

"That damned creature has actually come to our side! Haha, how interesting, truly fascinating!"

"Oh my, seeing the Red Dragon Emperor being trampled by the Phoenix is quite a spectacle!"

"No, no, I think the most entertaining part will be his helpless wails after his lover is taken away!"

Originally, this farce between the younger generations of the Phoenix and Gremory families wouldn't have caught the attention of these Dukes at the pinnacle of devil society.

with the involvement of the Red Dragon Emperor, it's a different story.

In the past, when the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor clashed on the battlefields where gods and Satans fought, these old-timers were present.

Most of the Devil Dukes here had been beaten up by either the Red Dragon Emperor or the White Dragon Emperor.

Now that they had a chance to watch a joke at the expense of their old enemy, they were overjoyed.

Just as they were mocking the newly emerged Red Dragon Emperor, in the Occult Research Club of the old school building at Kuoh Academy.

Kiba Yuuto leaned his sword against the wall, swiftly donning his gauntlets and protective gear.

Koneko Toujou sat comfortably on the sofa, flipping through a magazine with her gloved hands, exuding an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Asia had put on her nun's habit but did not wear a cross. With a troubled expression, she prayed softly.

Akeno Himejima and Rias crossed their legs elegantly, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Everyone was relaxing in their own way, preparing for the battle half an hour later.

As for Haru, his method was to lie on a luxurious sofa, sound asleep. Rather than relaxing, it was more like being carefree.

As the clock's hour hand gradually approached ten o'clock, Kiba Yuuto showed a hesitant expression but finally looked firmly at Rias.

"President, shouldn't we formulate a battle plan?"

Upon hearing this, Koneko and Asia turned their gazes towards Rias.

Rias took a light sip of her tea and calmly said to Kiba Yuuto, "This time, the purpose is just to give you all some training and to let you experience the atmosphere of the Rating Game in advance."

"Aha!" Akeno placed her teacup on the table, wearing a perfect smile, and said softly, "The Rias I know isn't someone who gives up easily!"

Rias was taken aback for a moment, then glanced deeply at Haru, who was still sleeping.

"In the upcoming battle, Haru will handle everything. This is an agreement between us."

"What!!!" x4

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Although Haru's previous battle with Raynare had made them look at him in a new light, and they acknowledged his strength.

But this time, their opponent wasn't a low-level Fallen Angel, but the highest-class devil who commands fire and life, the Phoenix.

Moreover, in the Rating Game battle, Riser's servants would certainly participate fully, that's fifteen experienced devils.

In their view, having Haru face fifteen enemies alone was too much.

Just as Akeno was about to ask Rias for specifics.

Haru slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and gazed at the magic circle in the classroom. He said softly, "They're here!"

The magic circle emitted a faint glow, and Grayfia's figure appeared in the classroom. She glanced at everyone, her gaze pausing for a second on the sleepy silver-haired youth, and said softly, "Are you all ready? It's time to enter the field!"

Hearing Grayfia's question, everyone stood up and stepped into the teleportation array.

The array emitted a faint red light, and they were transported to a different dimension modeled after Kuoh Academy.

This was a one-time battle space created using devil technology in a spatial gap.

It had a perfect protection mechanism; dying in this space wouldn't result in actual death. Therefore, this technology was widely used in the Rating Games.

Therefore, when they opened their eyes, they still saw the Occult Research Club's classroom, which they had anticipated.

Rias turned slightly, her gaze flickering as she looked at Haru's sleepy face. She sighed softly.

Even though she knew some things about Haru, facing the Phoenix directly at this moment made her nervous.

Rias suddenly turned around and said loudly to her servants:

"Everyone, charge into the new school building and fight head-on!!"

At this moment, the Dukes watching the battle from outside the dimension were stunned.

"This little girl is something else; she's got guts! Even Beelzebub couldn't do better!"

"Six against sixteen, and four of them are rookies. If they can win, I'll go and... uh... kiss an ant!"

"You're that old and still so adventurous? Why not join me in... kissing a caterpillar!"

From the moment he entered the different dimension, Haru had extended his senses to cover the entire space and even beyond, enveloping the location where the Dukes were gathered.

Therefore, the conversation of the Devils naturally reached his ears.

Meanwhile, in the student council room of Kuoh Academy, Riser sat on a wooden chair, looking sinisterly at the map of Kuoh Academy spread before him.

In front of the map, Riser's "Queen" servant Yubelluna was explaining the battle plan to the other thirteen servants.

At this moment, Yubelluna sensed something through a magic array she had set up. She looked up with a puzzled expression and said, "Gremory's servants have entered my magic detection range? Six of them? All deployed??"

Riser's lips curled up in a wicked smile. "Looks like Rias has finally come around and plans to throw herself into my arms."

He let out a series of sinister laughs.

Sitting on a sofa in the center of the classroom, a blonde girl watched Riser's incessant laughter with disdain, silently sipping her tea.

Bang! Riser pushed aside the wooden chair, stepped forward, and kicked the map off the floor. He shouted to his servants, "We don't need these things anymore. Now, come with me to the sports field. I want to have some fun with Rias servants in front of that Red Dragon Emperor!"

After speaking, he opened the classroom door and led his servants toward the sports field.

Haru followed silently behind Rias, sensing Riser's movements. Reflected in his pupils was the figure of a blonde girl.
