Training Time… Gohan Style

After Riser and his peerage had left and everyone had finally calmed down, in particular, Gohan after his little show, Rias made quick work of fixing the holes in the walls thanks to Gohan and thought it would be best to tell everyone about the rating game.

"Everyone I want you to listen in, especially Issei, Asia and Gohan seeing as you don't know what rating games are" Rias stated as she sat down in her chair.

"Actually Rias, I already know the rules and everything courtesy of Grayfia. She told me about it before I came to Kuoh Town and now I know why" Gohan was still angry at Sirzechs for putting Rias in this predicament and not doing something about it himself.

"Okay well, I will still explain it so that Issei and Asia understand" Rias looked at Gohan suspiciously after he said that he knew why he had been told about the rating games.

"Thank you for what you did, Gohan" Koneko had sat down next to Gohan and surprised him by the thanks, Koneko really liked Gohan although she would never show it easily so that others knew. Koneko found Gohan to be someone she could feel no malice or hidden motive behind his actions which to her meant a lot due to her past and because of her sister…

Gohan just pulled his usual grin at Koneko and patted her head gently the way she liked it, "No need to thank me Koneko we are all a team and friends, I will do what I must to protect those precious to me".

"Right, Issei, Asia, the rating game is used to measure Devil's strengths which then reflect on your social standing in the underworld, however, some are used to settle disputes as well, like ours will be hopefully" Rias informed the newer Devil reincarnates.

"The rules are different for each game, however, this game will be based on who can outlast the other while trying to take each others base. It is a game of strategy more than anything else" Rias made clear while looking at Issei, she didn't want him losing his head and rushing off to fight whoever as she now knew that he could be just as key to her victory as Gohan could be.

"So basically, beat Riser's peerage then beat Riser" Issei casually said while looking somewhat confused, "I mean Gohan can easily defeat Riser, I mean we all saw what he did with just two punches and if he transforms into Super Saiyan then Riser's finished" Issei was about to slouch back in his chair when…

THUD… "OWWW" dammit why is it always my head he hits… "Issei don't just expect me to do all this by myself, we don't know what could happen in this game and don't forget what will happen if we lose" Gohan smacked his "student" on the head while making himself clear of the repercussions of being cocky.

"Gohan's right Issei, besides I think everyone here would like their own shot at that "chicken" as Gohan named him. Kiba declared while trying to hold his laughter in at the insult Gohan called Riser at the time.

"Oh, yeah Gohan nice nickname by the way" Issei laughed while rubbing his head where he had been hit by Gohan.

Everyone shared a little chuckle at that which was nice as it broke the tension that had been built up.

"Now about training, seeing as you're are the training king Gohan, I will leave our training in your hands, however, I and Akeno will also help to, especially with Issei's magical power and getting more out of his sacred gear." Rias knew that Gohan would be the best to train them and would get the best out of all of them.

"That's fine, we will use my training room at my apartment as it will be best for everyone, but just a fair warning to all of you and that includes you Rias, I'm a strict teacher because of my old teacher" Gohan smirked while looking at everyone

Oh, I like the sound of that..." Akeno commented to the room which after hearing made her somewhat excited about being told what to do by Gohan and she couldn't stop fidgeting her hips after hearing that.

"Training Room?" Kiba asked somewhat curious as to how it would help. "What training room?" he asked while everyone but Issei waited for a reply.

"Oh that's right, only Issei knows of this room" Gohan chuckled forgetting something so important.

"Well, when I first came here I asked Rias's brother Sirzechs to have this room added to my apartment which I call The Gravity Room" Everyone looked somewhat confused by the name which Gohan noticed, "it is basically a room which I command with my voice to change the gravity which ultimately helps me get stronger".

"I will show you guys tomorrow, it will be easier to explain then" Gohan smiled, wondering how they would all take it.

"I want everyone at Gohan's apartment by 8:00 am" Rias made clear as she stood up and put her hands on her hips.

"Yes, President!" Everyone shouted. "That will do for tonight so let's get some rest ready for tomorrow" Rias then began to gather things as did everyone to get ready to leave.

That night Issei was having a dream or nightmare as it seemed to anyone watching him sleep as he was mumbling, tossing and turning, "Nooo.. stay away….Asia"

Issei was trying to reach out and grab Asia's hand and pull her away from Riser's grip but just couldn't quite reach her hand until...

"THIS IS WHERE THIS MEANINGLESS DREAM COMES TO AN END BOY" a deep voice bellowed out from deep within Issei's mind.

Suddenly Issei's nightmare had gone and all he could now see was flames dancing around in front of him. "Who's there!? Issei was looking all around trying to find where the voice was coming from but couldn't see anything but fire.

"You should know by now who I am, after all, I am what is inside you which provides you with your power!"

"Wait are you…" Issei sudden realization to his words, remembering what Rias had told him before.

"I am the Red Heavenly Dragon, Ddraig, and from this day onward I will be your partner, Issei Hyoudou," Ddraig announced to a still shocked Issei who's eyes were near enough popping out of his head at the appearance of a giant red Dragon.

"Tell me Issei, what it is you want to use my power for?" Ddraig asked while eyeing his human host.

"I want your power to protect those who are close to me" After finally coming out of his state of shock mumbled out which pissed off the giant red dragon, "SHOUT IT OUT BOY, STAND PROUD AND DECLARE YOUR WISH OF ME!"

"I WANT TO PROTECT!" Issei shouted out as loud as he could.

"Very well partner, I shall help you with your wish so that you may stand high above all other Devils!" Ddraig was now slowly disappearing from Issei's view. Just as Ddraig had gone Issei's hand started burning and his gauntlet could be seen but just it did he suddenly woke up from his dream.

Issei was panting at the sudden feeling he knew he felt in his arm, "Was that real…?" Issei asks himself not expecting a reply, however…

"That was no dream partner, now get some sleep cause I feel you will need it" Ddraig then went to sleep himself.

"Well, this should be fun… I hope..."

While Issei was having his dream, not too far away Gohan was about to have two unexpected visitors to his home. As Gohan had just finished late night training to let out some pent up energy that was leftover thanks to a certain chicken, Gohan left his training room only to see a transportation crest that looked all too familiar appear on his living room floor.

"Hello Gohan, I hope you've..." the happy voice had suddenly been silenced as he felt a sudden punch in the stomach to which had winded him and stopped him from talking suddenly.

"I tried to warn him Gohan, but did you have to hit him so hard" Grayfia muttered feeling that Sirzechs did somewhat deserve the punch.

"He had it coming..." Gohan was now angry at Sirzechs sudden appearance, "Besides, that was a love tap compared to what that chicken got earlier"

"I…guess I had… that coming" Sirzechs managed to mumble some words in between wheezing and trying to catch his breath.

Once Sirzechs had managed to recover from the punch and Gohan had somewhat calmed down as well, Gohan and Sirzechs sat down as Grayfia went to make some tea for them both for the discussion they were about to have.

"Gohan, I can understand why you're annoyed but there was nothing I could do at the time and I still can't just suddenly say that the wedding is off or else I will just be showing favouritism towards my sister and my family in general" Sirzechs tried to plead his case to the young Saiyan.

"Are you or are you not the Lucifer of the underworld? Gohan rhetorically asks with a frown on his face, screw what some elders say, at the end of the day you are the highest authority compared to them so you should have put your foot down!" Gohan was now getting angry again but was trying to control it as much as he could. "Do you realize just how sad Rias has been because her "big brother" wouldn't stand up for her? Instead, he just let things happen and hoped someone else would come along and make it all better..."

"Gohan calm down please.." Grayfia had come back with the tea and tried to calm down the young boy. "Sirzechs knows he did wrong and has dealt with that every day since this marriage was brought back up recently by the Phoenix family" Grayfia was trying to be the voice of reason while looking at Gohan's scowl towards Sirzechs.

"Gohan, I know I made a mistake however now this mistake can be rectified which is why I sent you to my sister" Sirzechs stated while looking at Gohan in his eyes, ready for whatever reply may come.

Gohan knew he was overreacting somewhat, however, it just annoyed him to see Rias so down and sad about the whole thing. He didn't want to see that Rias, he wanted to see the Rias that was always showing off that beautiful smile while being happy around her friends. Gohan had to think about his feelings for the crimson haired princess for a minute, She was on his mind a lot lately and after seeing what Riser was doing to her right in front of him, his Saiyan instincts took over immediately, Am I falling for Rias…?

"Fine, I will forgive you Sirzechs, however, you need to apologize to Rias. You really hurt her, she may not show it but I can tell whenever you are brought up in a conversation, her face shows hurt and sadness" Gohan sighed but he knew this would be for the best.

"I will, thank you Gohan" Sirzechs was just happy he didn't incur the wrath of Gohan any more than he already had while Grayfia had a small smile on her face at the conclusion of the argument.

Oh that reminds me, Grayfia, is there any chance you could make some weighted gi's for me and the others?" Gohan perked up at his idea that he had when training Issei before. "If possible could you make the undershirt, boots, and sweatbands weighted?".

"Yes, I should be able to make them quite easily, when do you need them by Gohan?" Grayfia happily replied to Gohan's request while placing her cup of tea on the coffee table.

"Tomorrow morning if possible as I am having everyone train in my gravity room and will need them so that everyone can start to wear them as soon as possible," Gohan informed the strongest queen.

"Yes, that should be easy enough, any preference on colors or anything?" Grayfia query's with a smile.

"Can you make them so that they are Gremory colors and have your family crest on the back as well please"

"Okay I will leave now to start on them, I will bring them by early morning" Grayfia then disappears leaving Sirzechs and Gohan to chat.

"Sirzechs, I also need you to do something to the gravity room for me please" Sirzechs looks at Gohan questionably wondering what more could he want in that crazy room.

"What is it you want Gohan?"

"Well, I was thinking it could do with a safe area so if someone accidentally walks in while say I'm training at x100 gravity, they won't be instantly crushed by it. I was thinking would you be able to put it around the entrance in so that it's big enough for people to watch what's going on?" Gohan looked somewhat excited at the idea.

"Yes, that should be easy for me to do, I will do it now for you" Sirzechs happily replied knowing he could do such a thing easy enough.

Sirzechs and Gohan then made their way towards the gravity training room and once inside Sirzechs almost instantly had done what Gohan had asked. There was now a large area in front of the door to come into the gravity room that was covered and could not be affected by the gravity controls, there was another door which was leading into the giant room so people could go in and out of it as they pleased and also a giant window so that onlookers could see what was going on inside the room.

"This is perfect, thank you Sirzechs!" Gohan was ecstatic at the changes, it now meant that whenever he wanted to use the room the others could watch or rest from a safe area and not be affected by the gravity in which he would have it set too.

"Glad I could be of help Gohan" Sirzechs was just happy that Gohan seemed fine with him now. I know I can believe in you to save my sister Gohan…

"I'll be going now Gohan as I have some other important matters to attend to before your rating game, it would seem that some people don't want you involved in the upcoming rating game as they feel you are an outsider and feel that you are not apart off Rias's peerage because she didn't turn you into a devil herself" Gohan was shocked to hear this as he was suddenly worried he wouldn't be able to protect Rias.

"Wait, how do they even know about me? I thought the only one's who knew about me were you, Grayfia and Ajuka?"

"News had reached the underworld of a certain boy that was with the next heir to the Gremory house that had somehow destroyed fallen angels with interesting powers" Sirzechs informed Gohan, "Don't worry Gohan, you will be in that rating game if I have anything to say about it, besides, like you said I am the Lucifer of the underworld so my decision is final!" Sirzechs proudly stated while winking at Gohan which made the young Saiyan laugh.

"Well, I best be going Gohan. Make sure to train everyone to become stronger as this will also be Rias's showing of her peerage and there will be a number of devils watching on" Sirzechs began to get ready to transport back to Hell.

"I will don't worry! You will see just how strong they will all become in two weeks" Gohan smiled and waved goodbye to the man.

Sirzechs had disappeared and now Gohan decided it was time for bed…

The next morning, Rias and co had met and started to make their way towards Gohan's apartment, "So Issei you say you have been in this training room of Gohan's, is there anything you can tell us about it?" Kiba asks Issei while everyone else also listens in wanting to know just what they are in for.

Issei laughed at this, "You have no idea, believe me when I say this, it is like nothing you've ever seen and another thing. Gohan turns into this completely different person when it comes to training someone, his usual nice, happy and go lucky attitude tends to disappear and a somewhat sadistic streak comes in when he begins to train you" Issei shivered, thinking back on what he went through in his first and only training session so far with Gohan. Everyone else had a shiver run down their spines as well at the sudden thought of Gohan being the way Issei had described, although a certain black haired devil was excited. Oh, I cannot wait to see what you will do to me Gohan mmm…

Gohan had just finished his mountain of a breakfast and could sense his friends getting near to his home, he then went to his front door to welcome everyone in, "Hey everyone, come on in and make yourselves at home" Gohan was happy to have everyone here, it would be fun but he knew they all needed some serious training in order to be ready for the rating game.

Everyone had put their bags down and were just casually talking to each other when a blue light illuminated the floor only for Grayfia to appear which surprised Rias and the others.

"Ah Grayfia you're here, did you manage to do them?" Gohan quickly went over to the silver haired lady with a look of excitement.

"Yes, it did take me some time but I feel these should be good enough, the weights for the clothing can be changed if you want but I think what with you being in the training room most of the time, the weight the clothing is currently at should be fine as it is" Grayfia could see how happy Gohan was and then opened up a portal in which the clothes were then gently placed on the floor in front of Gohan.

"Gohan, what are these for…?" Rias questioned the young Saiyan while looking over his shoulder as was everyone else curious as to what Gohan had requested.

"These are the beginning of your training, they are all weighted gi's that I asked Grayfia to make for me and for you guys too. These will help you with your training, I want you all to wear them all the time and only take them off when you are going to sleep!" Gohan stated while having a look of authority making sure they all understood that it was not advice he was giving but more of an order.

Everyone then went to take the clothing for each of them only when they tried to pick them up, they realized just how heavy it all was, "Gohan, this is crazy! You want us to wear such heavy clothes even while we train!?" Issei blurted out what everyone else was also thinking with a pained face as he tried picking the boots up.

"Yes, these clothes will help build up your muscle and will also increase your speed tenfold, by the time you take these off you will feel as light as a feather but twice as fast and stronger than you are right now. This is one of the methods that I had to endure when training and I was only a small child at the time". Gohan then reminisced about his training with Piccolo and his Dad.

"Gohan, I want you to mainly focus on Issei, Koneko, and Kiba as they all need help with hand to hand combat. I also don't want Asia to wear this seeing as she is my bishop and the team's healer I am planning on having her stay with me during the rating game, so me and Akeno will be helping her build her magic power." Rias was adamant about this and Gohan just nodded in understanding.

Right, well I shall be off, see you all before the start of the rating game. Rias I will be coming to collect you all from the clubroom just before midnight in 2 weeks from today, train well" Grayfia said while smiling at her Sister in Law.

"Thank you again, Grayfia!" Gohan shouted out as she was teleporting away.

"Now, before I show you all my training room, I want you to all go and get changed into these clothes" Gohan declared, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko then went into the spare room to get changed while Issei and Kiba went and got changed in the bathroom, Asia just stayed with Gohan and waited for everyone to come out.

Once everyone had managed to get the heavy clothes on and kinda fumbled there way out too Gohan and Asia, "Wow, you guys look really good!" Gohan stated while pulling a famous son grin.

Grayfia had done a perfect job on Gohan's description on how he wanted the gi's to look, they were all predominately red and then with the black undershirt as were the trousers and boots which had a tinge of black to them too. The girls gi's really hugged at their very slim figures, however, when it came to Rias and Akeno's rather large bust, they seem to cover them easily thanks to the somewhat bagginess just like on the boys gi's but their boobs did still easily stand out in them, much to the jealousy of Asia after seeing Issei look at them both in awe with slight drop of blood running down his nose. The boy's gi's were just the same as Gohan's only the same color's as the rest of them. They also all had the Gremory crest on the backs of the shirts which Rias did kind of like.

"Right, time to show you my training room and begin our training!" Gohan then leads the group towards the room and opened the door much to the anticipation of everyone but Issei following.

"This...is...unreal..." Kiba mumbled out while the others just looked on in shock.

"Gohan, this extra area wasn't here before. What is it here for?" Issei confused by the new area which Sirzechs had built the night before.

"This is a safe area from the actual room out there" Gohan pointed out the window, "It is so that when you need a rest, you can come in here and not be affected by the gravity controls out there" Gohan informed everyone somewhat plainly.

"Wait gravity controls? What do you mean?" Rias asked after coming out of her own shock at the strange room they were in.

Gohan then explained everything about the room which he had told Issei before and then decided to show them, so, as they all walked out of the safe area and made their way into the room, still feeling very heavy due to the weighted clothing that they were all wearing.

"GRAVITY CONTROL x10!" only Gohan, Rias and Akeno even though she was down to one knee had managed to stay up once the gravity controls had kicked in, everyone else was flat to the floor struggling to get back up. Issei did manage to get himself up on one knee which did surprise Gohan somewhat seeing as only yesterday, Issei couldn't stand even without the weighted clothing. Something feels different with Issei's energy, it feels more powerful and somewhat familiar…

"GRAVITY CONTROL RELEASE!" A sigh of relief could be heard from the group as they were all glad they could finally get back to their feet easy enough.

"This is what you will have to deal with so let's begin, Issei, Kiba, and Koneko you come with me. Rias I gather you and Akeno want to train Asia? You can either do it in the safe area or do it in here, however, I may be changing the gravity so I would rather you do it in the safe area first" Gohan declared to the three girls

Okay we will be in there then, I also want Issei later as he also needs to have a better grasp on his magic power" Rias was looking at Gohan, she couldn't believe in all her times here that she had never even bothered to check this room out. This is going to be a long two weeks…

For the next several hours, Gohan had made Issei, Koneko and Kiba run laps around the room, push ups and sit ups to begin with so that they could all try and get to grips with their weighted clothing. Koneko had been the first to come to terms with the clothes she was wearing, Issei and Kiba did eventually start to get a handle on them too so Gohan decided to up their training by having them fight a clone of him each. They were only allowed to use hand to hand combat and no sacred gears at all, Koneko again thanks to her strength already being very high had a tough time at first with the Gohan clone but made quick work of him in the end, she then went and had a rest next to Gohan as he looked on at Kiba and Issei's fights. Issei was struggling and had taken a good number of blows from Gohan's clone and the same could be said for Kiba, Gohan had realized that Kiba must rely on his swords too much and Issei was just lacking the proper training and experience.

Meanwhile, in the safe area, Rias and Akeno were showing Asia how to better control the amount of magic power to use for different circumstances. It didn't take Asia long to pick up on what Rias and Akeno were trying to show her which didn't really surprise them because of the fact she had already known how to control her magic for so long.

"Wow, Gohan is really putting them through their paces" Rias stated as she looked on through the window, Koneko was laying on the floor by Gohan puffing and panting, while Issei was just trying to block the incoming attacks from the Gohan clone. Kiba was being shown by Gohan was stances he should be using and how best to counter his opponents incoming assaults.

"I wonder what he will have us do to them clone's or better yet maybe the real Gohan" Akeno teased while trying to keep her S&M side under control.

The next few days that passed were pretty much the same, Gohan was trying to teach Issei and Kiba a more productive way of including their sacred gears into their hand to hand combat which would then make them very unpredictable when fighting, while Koneko was now fighting against two Gohan clones, she was struggling as she could never predict their movements.

Rias and Akeno had also joined in with the training Gohan was giving the others while Asia was practicing her magic control in the safe area. Rias and Akeno were having a fierce battle against one another which did cause the others to stop what they were doing and watch on for a little while, Issei was mesmerized by the magic attacks that were being thrown about by them both when a sudden idea popped into his head.

"Gohan, I want to test how much I can boost now and see how far my power has increased" Issei was almost demanding Gohan to let him test it out.

"Fine but first let's get everyone over here just in case of any mishaps" Gohan then shouted for Rias and Akeno to come over and just pay attention to just how much stronger Issei and the rest of them had become in a short amount of time thanks to their weighted clothing and also Gohan's methods.

"Go ahead Issei boost as much as you think you can now" Gohan stood opposite to Issei while the others were far away enough to not get hit by accident.

"BOOST...BOOST...BOOST...BOOST"

"Come on keep going boosted gear!" Issei shouted at his gauntlet.

"BOOST...BOOST...BOOST...BOOST"

"AGAIN!" Issei was sure he could take more.

"BOOST...BOOST...EXPLOSION!"

"Now Issei, believe in yourself and aim your power at me!" Gohan made clear to the boy, he's definitely different somehow.. wait I wonder if he…

Rias then realized just what Gohan was planning, "EVERYONE MOVE BACK!"

Issei's boosted power had gathered into his hand and then pointed it at Gohan, "AHHHHHHH" Issei then shot all of his power straight at Gohan and with a massive red beam now heading towards Gohan, everyone looked on in worry as Gohan was just standing there until…

"Masenko...HAAAAA" Gohan released his own energy which was just enough to cancel out Issei's however it created a massive explosion which engulfed Gohan.

"GOHAN!" Rias called out, worried about the well being of the young Saiyan, only then to see a bright white aura surround Gohan and seemingly made the cloud caused by the explosion disappear.

Gohan then powered down, "See Issei, that was amazing, now imagine what you will be able to do once these two weeks are up" Gohan shouted across to Issei, he then looked at the others who were looking on, "that goes for all of you too, I promise by the time all this training is done you will be considerably stronger!".

Everyone decided that enough was enough for today as they were all feeling the effects of Gohan's training and decided to head home, well everyone but Rias as she wanted to talk to Gohan tonight.

Rias had gotten changed and was now sat on the sofa looking at her book for her battle plan as Gohan had just come back from saying goodbye to everyone, "So still working on your battle plan?" Gohan asks intrigued to know what she had come up with.

"Yes, but it's not a very good one. We don't know what the enemy will do on the day and it could then throw my plan out the window" Rias shut her book and pulled her knee's into her chest, Gohan could tell she was worried about the upcoming fight.

Gohan decided to sit down next to her on the sofa, "Listen, all of us will fight to make set you free from chicken wings grasp" Rias chuckled at that comment, "Believe in us Rias and most of all believe in yourself, you are a strong person and I know that you can come through this" Gohan smiled at Rias as she just couldn't help but believe in the words Gohan spoke. I will believe in all of us and I WILL be free of this torment once and for all…

"He is also immortal Gohan, how do we deal with that?"

"When I fought Cell he had regenerative powers and yet I still destroyed every last bit off him, so don't worry, just leave him to me" Gohan smirked as his Saiyan blood was boiling and lusting for a fight.

"Thank you, Gohan. I don't know how I would manage without you..." Rias had slowly dropped her head onto Gohan's shoulder as the exhaustion of training and thinking had finally caught up to her.

"Time to put you to bed I think" Gohan then picked up Rias bridal style and took her to his room and laid her down in his bed. Night Rias, I think it's time I get some training of my own in…

Gohan then made his way into the training room and began his torturous training methods that he had come up with to push himself to the limit, this is going to be a long night…

Issei, Akeno, Kiba, Asia, and Koneko made their way towards yet another grueling day of training...Gohan style, only when they made it to Gohan's apartment, Gohan was nowhere to be found, neither was Rias as they presumed she was already here.

"Where are they both?" Issei questioned out loud confused by no sounds from anywhere in the apartment.

"Let's check the training room, they may be waiting for us in there" Akeno concluded to which the others agreed.

As they all walked into the safe area of the gravity room, they all saw Rias looking through the window into the rest of the room. "Hey Rias, what's going…." that was all that came out of Akeno's mouth as she looked through the window to see what had now put everyone else in the same kind of look that Rias was portraying before they had all walked in.

Meanwhile, Gohan was looking the worst he had ever been while inside the room, he was bleeding from gashes that were on his body and head, he had bruising which was starting to come up and turning purple on his forearms and also his body. In truth, Gohan was an absolute mess and everyone inside the safe area couldn't believe just what they were seeing as they looked at him.

"GRAVITY... CON..TROL RELEASE!" Gohan bellowed out while panting heavily.

I still feel that energy that's deep within me, guess now is as good a time as any to try and bring it out… Gohan then began to power up until he was at full power in base form only, once he had done that he then started to pull at the power that was hidden deep within him as much as he could.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Gohan was trying his hardest to pull on the power he could feel and had managed to feel it start to push through and felt a transformation was about to happen, at this point Gohan had gone into Super Saiyan 2 state and not realized it. The ground was starting to shake vigorously and the walls that were meant to be indestructible started to show cracks. I can feel it coming through I'm so close…

All the power Gohan had started to show suddenly disappeared because Gohan had reached his limit, exhaustion had finally caught up with him at the worst time and he dropped back into his normal form, Gohan then started to fall backwards as he slowly went unconscious with the last thing he heard being his name screamed by Rias…

"HOLY CRAP, WHAT WAS GOHAN DOING!" Issei shouted out amazed by what his friend was doing while they all had watched on in the safe area. Once they all saw Gohan began to fall backward, Rias was already inside the room and running towards Gohan. They all quickly followed due to being worried about what they had just seen their friend do.

"Was it just me or was Gohan changing while the ground was shaking and stuff?" Kiba plainly asked, trying to comprehend what he felt and what he saw.

Everyone just looked at the unconscious form of Gohan who's head was now laid on Rias's lap, they all had the same thought running through their heads which just seemed to always run through their minds when it came to Gohan, just how strong are you Gohan…

Asia, will you please heal all of Gohan's injuries?" Rias mumbles quietly while trying to fathom what she saw. When she woke up that morning to find herself in Gohan's bed but with no Gohan to be found she got up and looked around the apartment for him and then checked the training room. Rias was shocked by the training Gohan had put himself through as she heard him up the gravity settings to x500 while he was in his Super Saiyan form fighting off 4 clones that looked somewhat different to Gohan. Why did those clones look so different?… Rias pondered while looking down on him while Asia had begun to heal all his wounds and bruises.

"Eurgh, I feel like I was hit by a train..." Gohan mutters, not realizing everyone else was there. Gohan then looks up to see Rias's face and everyone stood around him inside the gravity room.

"Oh, hey guys, what's going on?" Gohan asks with a smile on his face.

He is so goofy sometimes… Rias inwardly said to herself.

"Gohan, you were transforming and then collapsed all of a sudden it was so weird, you even started to make the floor shake like an earthquake and also look at the walls!" Issei informed his friend while still amazed and excited somewhat about what had occurred.

Gohan then looked at the walls of the room, and soon realized that they had cracks in them. Oh wow, maybe I shouldn't practice trying to gain that power in here…After Gohan had regained his composure, everyone got ready for their training for the day.

The time was now just 11:45 and everyone was gathered inside the clubroom waiting for Grayfia to arrive when the door opened to reveal the student council president and vice president, Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra which surprised Issei, Asia, and even Gohan.

"Hope we're not interrupting Rias"

"Of course not Sona, come in" Rias welcomes her long time friend in with a smile.

"Wait what's the student council president and the vice president doing here?" Issei exclaims.

"Sona and Tsubaki are also devils, Sona is also the heiress to the Sitri clan which is part of the 72 pillars" Akeno informs the group much to their surprise.

"Sona and Tsubaki will be helping with the rating game proceeding's because the game will be broadcast to family members so that they can watch" Rias announces to everyone which makes Issei somewhat nervous now knowing that a lot of people will be watching.

"So Rias, are you ready, after all this will be your first rating game, however it's unfortunate it isn't against me as we had hoped when we were younger" Sona was upset to hear that her best friend had been put in this predicament but she knew that there was only one way she could get out of it.

Just as Rias is about to reply, Grayfia arrives, "Are you ready my Lady, it's almost time".

"Yes, we are ready whenever you are Grayfia" Rias states to her sister in law.

"Where exactly is the battlefield by the way?" Gohan queries hoping that it would be somewhere where nothing or nobody would get destroyed.

It will be in a neutral alternate space that has been created just for the game, so due to it not being real, Gohan you can make as much mess as you want" Akeno chuckles while replying to the question.

"That's fine, it would be best if we didn't just let Gohan have all the fun now would it, especially after all our training under him" Kiba declared as he was desperate to try out his new found power and speed.

Everyone else agreed as did Gohan who smiled and nodded to Grayfia, "Then let's go shall we". Everyone made their way over to Grayfia as she got the magic circle ready to transport them all to the battlefield.
