They began their game that yet again went out of control but Rias was more hectic since she was shoeing off to Issei and letting her frustration in the game which only notice by the people close to her.

"Issei dodge!"

Issei who hadn't move since the start of the game saw the ball was heading to him in blinding speed but for him it was rather slow. He reach out his hand that blew a gust of wind but Issei stood still at where he was.

"Well forgive me Sona-kaichou but it's our win."

They went deep in the forest getting builder by touji who is a familiar master in the forest who knew ins and outs of the place.

"Hey look it's sprite dragon? Won't that a be perfect for you Issei?"

"Hahaha I wish but I don't thinks it's for me."

"That's strange most familiar would only refuse accept a pact and not be this frighten?"

"Maybe I'm not compatible huh?"
