...

"Wh-what?"

Badr placed his hand on Riser's shoulder and patted it, as if he were talking to a friend, with an air of nonchalance.

"In the end, I'm just a reincarnated Devil. I don't understand your pure-blooded Devil ideals, so I don't care about them. But I've never opposed your desire to maintain the your bloodline."

"Then why..." Riser was puzzled, but Badr raised his hand to stop him.

"The reason is simple: Rias doesn't like you."

Badr's hand on Riser's shoulder slowly tightened, gripping it firmly.

"She doesn't like you, and marrying you won't make her happy. Is that clear enough?

If you want to preserve the pure-blood bloodline, go find a pure-blood Devil who likes you to carry it on, not force a girl like Rias, who doesn't like you."

The grip on Riser's shoulder tightened further, causing his face to twist in pain;

Badr's calm voice continued to ring out, but his right fist slowly rose, surging with immense demonic power.

"to me, Rias is just a helpless girl.

You self-righteous bastards, who gave you the right to decide someone else's lifelong happiness?"

With those words, Badr mercilessly punched Riser, blasting half of his body to pieces.

Boom!!

Half of Riser's body exploded into a mist of blood...

...

The Rating Game had ended.

The final result, of course, was a victory for Rias team.

Badr had blown apart half of Riser's body with a single punch, but thanks to the regenerative abilities of the Phoenix bloodline, combined with the powerful healing effect of the Phoenix Tears, Riser's life was not in danger.

However, seeing Riser's dejected expression, it was clear that Badr had left a psychological scar.

This guy really knows how to hit hard!

Seeing Riser's body explode like that, everyone had the same thought.

As the winner of the Rating Game, Rias got what she wanted, freeing herself from the marriage arranged by her family.

Although she tried to suppress her excitement, the joy in her heart was evident.

After leading Badr and Asia out of the alternate dimension, she found Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou waiting outside.

"Are your injuries okay?"

"Hehe, I've already recovered." Akeno Himejima smiled as she answered, her gaze drifting towards Badr. "I got to witness someone's incredible display of power."

Badr also smiled slightly, feeling much more relaxed now that Rias troublesome situation was resolved.

"Did you capture my heroic moment?" he joked.

"Huh? Well, I memorized it in my mind, does that count?" Akeno Himejima replied with a playful smile, her eyes glistening with charm.

"Then make sure to recall it every day, don't forget." Badr responded with a jest, and everyone's mood was quite good.

But while some were happy, others were troubled. After emerging, Ravel walked angrily towards Badr.

"That was too much!"

Riser was arguably the brother who doted on her the most, and now that he was traumatized by Badr, she couldn't sit still.

Badr glanced at her and spoke indifferently:

"He troubled Rias for so long. Honestly, I already went easy on him."

Rias was standing right beside him, and upon hearing his words, her eyes were filled with emotion.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around, she would have thrown herself into his arms.

"My brother was troubled too! You have no idea..." Ravel said, slightly exasperated.

"I don't care to know."

Badr couldn't be bothered to deal with Ravel. He casually summoned the Devil Sealing Mark and said in a low voice:

"This matter is over. I don't want to bring it up again. Don't bother me, or I'll strip you and throw you out."

Seeing Badr bring out the Devil Sealing Mark, Ravel was immediately startled.

She had witnessed firsthand how scary that small silver seal was in the alternate dimension.

Riser's servants were now gnashing their teeth at Badr's Devil Sealing Mark, and she didn't want to experience that embarrassment again...

With that, the girl hurriedly fled, afraid that Badr might actually use the Devil Sealing Mark on her.

Badr put away the seal and shook his head as he watched the girl flee in panic, thinking to himself that after this battle, he might become the target of scorn among a group of women...

But who cares... I'll still use it when I need to.

And I must admit, watching these girls have their clothes ripped off is rather eye-catching...

"Rias, let's go."

He asked Rias to leave with him, but Rias bit her lip, hesitating slightly.

"Um... My brother might want to see you."

"Your brother... Lucifer?" Badr frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion in his heart. "Is it because of my dual class?"

"That's certainly a major reason, but my brother is also concerned about me."

Rias sighed, knowing that once Badr's dual classification became known, it would inevitably cause a stir among the Devils.

"You've examined my dual class, Rias, and found nothing out of the ordinary, right?"

Badr wasn't keen on going. Who would enjoy being ogled like a zoo animal?

Rias thought for a moment and agreed, then grabbed Badr's hand:

"Then let's not worry about it. The rest of your time belongs only to me."

She smiled mischievously. Only when she was with Badr could she be so willful, even ignoring the requests of the Satan Lucifer.

Of course, only she can do so.

After all, she was the sister of the Satan Lucifer...

"We should go quickly, or they'll come looking for us." Rias called out to Akeno Himejima and the others, and they quietly used a teleportation spell to leave.

After they left, on Sirzechs' side, Grayfia also reported this matter to him.

"They've all gone?"

Sirzechs couldn't help but smile and curse, "That girl... really knows how to worry people."

"Shall I go and bring them back?"

"No need, let them enjoy themselves for a while longer. There's no need to disturb them now."

Sirzechs smiled as he thought of how Rias had successfully freed herself from the family's arrangement.

"As for that guy..." Sirzechs pondered for a moment before smiling, "It seems I need to find some time to visit the human world myself."

...

Human World, Kuoh Academy.

In the Occult Research Club's activity room, everyone was holding a Celebration.

"Cheers!!"

Everyone raised their glasses in Celebration. After all, they had not only resolved Rias long-standing engagement problem, but it was also Rias first Rating Game.

Her opponent was Riser Phoenix, an adult Devil who had participated in numerous Rating Games. For Rias to defeat Riser was a significant display of power within the Devil world.

"In this battle, Badr undoubtedly played the most crucial role."

Rias smiled as she looked at Badr, her eyes filled with tenderness. "You were right, you never let me down."

Badr smiled softly and clinked glasses with her.

"I'll never let you down."

"Oh my, if you keep this up, Rias might not be able to resist offering herself to you~" Akeno Himejima teased with a light laugh.

Her words caused Rias cheeks to flush slightly. "Akeno!"

"Hehe~... I'm just stating the facts, right? Even I was moved, so there's no way you, the one directly involved, weren't."

Akeno Himejima smiled teasingly at Rias:

"If you don't want him, I'll make the first move, okay?"

"Dream on. Badr is my most beloved servant; he belongs to me."

Rias smiled slightly, firmly rejecting Akeno Himejima.

But Akeno Himejima's eyes lingered on Badr, as if lost in thought, her expression somewhat distant.

Badr seemed to sense something and met Akeno Himejima's gaze. She snapped out of her reverie and gave him a soft smile, as gentle and alluring as ever.

Akeno Himejima sighed inwardly; she hadn't been joking earlier;

She had spoken from the heart.

Seeing how much Badr had done for Rias, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious and jealous...

Indeed, she also liked this version of Badr...

...

The Celebration lasted until the evening.

When it ended, Akeno Himejima and the others tactfully left the space to Badr and Rias.

Badr didn't notice this; after cleaning up the table, he was about to say goodbye to Rias.

"I'm heading home."

"Hmm? Where are you going?" Rias was surprised.

"Home, of course."

Badr answered, slightly puzzled. Where else would he go? His girlfriend, Mai Sakurajima, was still out of town for work.

"You're coming back to the castle with me tonight. I'm really happy today, so stay with me a little longer."

Rias directly made the decision for Badr.

"…Alright."

Since Rias insisted, Badr didn't refuse, and so he accompanied Rias back to the castle through teleportation.

The castle was quiet tonight, as if all the servants had left.

"Where are the maids?"

"I let them all take the night off."

Rias was so happy today that she wanted to spend some private time with Badr and didn't want anyone to disturb them.

Badr thought that was just as well. He wasn't very comfortable being served by others, especially those overly capable maids.

"I'm going to take a bath."

Since this wasn't his first time at Rias place, Badr knew his way around and comfortably soaked in the hot spring bath.
