Gremory VS Phenex Rating Game Part 7

Being left alone, Riser started panicking even more and struggled without any regard for his body. As he tries to whisk away his bindings, he is staring at the ball of fire which already covered Koneko from his view. He knew if that ball of white flames has the same properties as the ones 'eating' his right now, then that would spell his doom, "S-Someone! Anyone! Help me! P-Please, save me!!!" He swallowed his and pleaded to the empty space where the organizers of the games are watching.

As if answering to his pleas, two distinct phenomenons caught the attention of all the viewers. The first one is a blue magic teleportation circle where a beautiful woman with straight and long beautiful pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a cold atmosphere that radiates from her beauty appears. Even though in humanoid form, the audience knew that she is a dragon due to powerful dragon aura radiating from her.

Zeoticus and Venelana were shocked at her appearance, "Who is she? Such a powerful dragon aura..."

"Tiamat..." Sirzechs answered simply with furrowed brows.

"Tiamat? One of the Five Great Dragon Kings? What is she doing there?" Venelana voiced out her curiosity. Even though she's still a bit worried about Koneko, she already sighed in relief when her daughter was teleported out to safety.

"Indeed. Ajuka managed to hire where for something to become a secret judge for the Rating Games. It seems that this event's strange occurrences are enough to warrant her presence." Sirzechs explained and answered the call coming from Rias and told her that the higher-ups are already doing something and the only thing she could do is watch. Rias couldn't accept it and requested to be teleported back to the battlefield but all of those in Gremory Mansion denied her request which distressed her greatly.

"Please! Onii-sama. Please save Koneko!" Rias pleaded with her tears bordering her eyes. She is blaming Kisuke for he might have done something to Koneko for her to turn like that, but she hates and blaming herself more for her weakness that her own servant was forced to use something clearly forbidden just to win the match for her, 'I shouldn't have hesitated to resign.'

Just as Tiamat appeared, a black line was suddenly drawn in the sky not far from her. This strange phenomenon stole the attention of the audience from Tiamat and Tiamat herself narrowed her eyes from this. The black line suddenly split the space and opened a pathway to the Dimensional Gap which a slender and well-endowed woman of average height walked out from it stepping on the air instead of flying just like what Koneko did. She has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. Her hair is waist-length and kept in a ponytail with chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face. She's wearing an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist, and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown shoes. Yoruichi has come with a big smile to take the crazy cat home.

Everyone from Gremory, Phenex, and those in the medical ward are confused and shocked at the newcomer's appearance. They already received the news about Tiamat's appearance but the lady with dark skin didn't seem like she came from the Rating Games Committee as even Tiamat is glaring at her arrival.

In the medical ward, of Rias' servants, only Issei is completely unconscious while Asia is treating him with her Twilight Healing. They are in a very large room with some medical equipment and multiple beds for someone to rest on. Rias and co are staring at the big screen where their game is held and canceled along with Riser's servants who are in the same room as them.

Ravel and the rest of her group let go of some of their worries after Tiamat's arrival but get's nervous again when an unknown variable appeared. Contrary to them Rias and the rest became concerned as to what might happen to Koneko as the decision-makers might send out an order to kill her to preserve a High-Class Devil like Riser. When Yoruichi appeared, Akeno couldn't help mutter her name, "... Yoruichi...-san."

"Akeno? What did you say? Do you know her?" Rias hurriedly questioned her and all eyes in the room transferred to her.

Akeno is now regretting uttering her name without thinking and could only sigh, "If there is someone who could keep Koneko safe from the Dragon Lady, it might be her."

"Yoruichi... Isn't that the one Koneko mentioned who is teaching her martial arts and the one we are looking for?" Rias looked back to the screen and stare at the beautiful dark-skinned figure and committed her appearance to her memory.

"Yes..." Akeno nodded.

"What are you talking about? Who is that? Save Koneko? Then what is she going to do with my brother? And you think she has the capability to go against the strongest among the Five Great Dragon Kings?" Ravel sent out a barrage of questions to Akeno.

"I don't know anything outside her name and appearance. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ravel-sama."

Ravel gritted her teeth at her useless answer but didn't pursue it and just decided to watch what's going to happen.

In the Gremory Mansion, the magic circle that Rias used to contact Sirzechs is still connected and heard everything Akeno said in the ward, "It seems like this human you are referring is more than just amusing, Sirzechs." Zeoticus commented.

Sirzechs could only smile wryly at his words and said, "Sadly, she isn't the human Grayfia reported about. Although I can't deny her connection to him after seeing all of this."

"What? Then who is this you're talking about?" Zeoticus' and Venelana's eyes widened.

"Someone who is attending the same school as Rias and was born in the town she currently overlooking, Urahara Kisuke."

"... Is he an enemy?" Zeoticus asks the question that concerns him the most.

"I don't know. Although, from Grayfia's report, he seems to be not very fond of Rias and Akeno for their multiple attempts to investigate him."

Zeoticus didn't say anything more and looked back at the screen where the two beauties are having a face-off. Internally, he's contemplating the actions he could take.

"Hey hey, Sirzechs-chan. Why is this Urahara Kisuke seem so familiar? What did he do?" Serafall asks while trying to remember where she heard of him.

Sirzechs nodded at her, "That's right. You should be familiar with him as he is very close to your sister and appeared quite protective of him, according to Grayfia."

"What? Is that true Gray-chan?" Sona turned to Grayfia who is silently watching and also contemplating where she had seen Yoruichi as her eyes are somewhat familiar.

Grayfia faced Serafall and confirmed, "Yes, Serafall-sama. She even claimed that he's a prospective fiance of hers and declared ownership of him."

"WHATTTT!!!??? SO-TAN SAID THAT!? I won't accept him as long as he isn't stronger the Sirzechs-chan!" Serafall exclaimed, "Why So-tan isn't answering my calls? Is it because of him!?"

"Don't think too much about it, It's just the usual." Sirzechs chuckled at her antics.

"Hmmph," Serafall didn't deny him as it is true but didn't give up contacting her sister.

Back to the former artificial Kuoh Academy, Tiamat released her dragon aura and questioned the newcomer, "Who are you?"

Yoruichi wasn't fazed. Her smile grew bigger and she released her Reiatsu-Ki Pressure which caved the ground below her and said, "I'm that cat's caretaker and I'm here to bring her home because she had too much catnip and is now going crazy in this neighborhood~."

Tiamat flinched at the pressure she is emitting and her expression became more serious.
