"Now, the Rating Game between Rias Gremory-sama and Riser Phenex-sama will start."

Two women appeared on the screen and announced the start of the Rating Game. They explained the rules of the Rating Game to Rias and Riser and they acknowledged the rules without much thought.

It was the basic rule as no killing, and about surrendering the game.

After the rules were read, both sides were given 5 minutes to talk with their group about their plan. Rias's group discussed intensely while Riser's group just looked at Rias's group on the other side while sneering.

"Hmm, If I guessed correctly, then Riser would win." I said as I leaned my back against the couch and touched my chin with my right hand.

"Isn't that obvious?" Hagoromo Gitsune sneered at me while looking at the screen. "That girl had nothing that it takes to be a leader like me or you."

Sona was intrigued by our conversation looked at us and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Rating game had started, but Rias was still discussing their plan. That meant, she had no confidence or trust in her subordinates." I said while snapping my finger then pointed my index finger to the screen.

"Riser, on the other hand, had prepared for everything and analyzed Rias's group. The Rating Game 5 minutes preparation before the start of the game must've been used to analyze the opponent's condition, not discussing a plan. If it's me who stood in Rias's place, I will provoke my opponent with a quip or threaten them."

As soon as I said that, a voice sounded from the speaker of the screen.

"Oi Rias! Just surrender. You must've known that you can't beat Riser!" Riser shouted to Rias with a wild smile on his face.

I smiled at his provocation and looked at Sona, "See?"

Sona was surprised, but then she nodded her head.

"I see, so that's why Riser didn't discuss anything with his peerage? I learned something."

Well, I thought the reason why Riser didn't discuss anything with his peerage was because of his arrogance and confidence. He came here with the thought of winning, unlike Rias who wanted to escape from her marriage.

I glued my eyes back to the screen to see Rias's reaction.

Rias was frowning after she heard Riser's provocation, and her valiant knight who was also a pervert stepped in front of her and pointed his finger towards Riser.

"Just wait and I will kick your ass up!"

Issei put on a serious expression on his face as he shouted that. After he got satisfied, he looked at Rias and whispered something.

Unfortunately, the microphone was not able to get his voice so we can't hear what he said. But Rias smiled at Issei and then he started having his pervert expression on his face.

"Riku, you better make him stay away from me or I will accidentally kill him." Said Hagoromo Gitsune. I looked at her and saw her having a disgusted expression as she looked at Issei.

Somehow, without looking at her I knew that Sona was looking at us with a horrified expression.

I nodded at Hagoromo Gitsune's word and said, "Don't worry. I had warned him."

"Good, I really hate perverts."

She looked at the screen again after she said that.

Both sides had finished their preparation and now they were looking at each other intensively. After a few seconds, Kiba ran towards the middle of the arena at a fast speed, followed by Issei.

Akeno's clothes had changed into a Miko outfit and she spread her wing to fly. She flew above Rias and then extended her hand towards Riser's peerage.

Riser's queen also spread her wings and fly. She held her staff in her right hand and pointed it towards Akeno.

The next moment, both of them had aura covering their body. Akeno was surrounded by a yellow aura while Riser's queen, Yubelluna, was surrounded by a purple aura.

They were talking in the sky before they sent an attack towards each other. Akeno was attacking using her thunder while Yubelluna was creating a bomb with her magic that managed to destroy Akeno's clothes.

On the ground, Kiba was fighting against the twins that wield chainsaws and twins nekomata. He was fighting against four people, but Kiba was able to hold his ground. He was a bit stronger compared to a few days ago when Hagoromo Gitsune trashed him.

Issei was fighting against Riser's knight, he was helped by Gasper that stopped time. I was not affected at all as we were a distance away from them. But, Issei's movement on the screen was a bit weird. He sometimes disappeared before appearing behind his enemy and punching them.

This happened a few times and then Issei managed to reach the last guard of Riser, Ravel. The girl who wore a pink dress and had drill hair, Ravel Phenex.

Issei was shouting "Promotion!" and gained the strength of Queen's piece before he gathered energy in front of his left hand and shot his killer technique, Dragon Shot.

Ravel managed to dodge the attack and Riser asked Ravel to go back as he will destroy Issei himself.

Akeno who faced Yubelluna was defeated and Yubelluna drank a Phoenix Tear to recover herself. She then flew towards Rias and Asia who stood behind the line watching the fight.

Asia cowered in fear, but Rias spread her wing and met Yubelluna in the sky. They were talking about something before she fight Yubelluna by shooting her POD ball toward her.

As they fought in the sky, Kiba managed to defeat Riser's pawn and made his way towards Issei and Riser who duked it out.

Their fight was intense, Issei managed to boost himself 5 times while Riser flew around the sky with his flame wings. Gasper was laying on the floor before he melted into a light, teleported away from the arena because he can't continue the fight.

Kiba was blocked by Ravel and they fought with each other. Kiba sent slashes after slashes which Ravel dodged by flying to the sky. She threw fireballs at Kiba from the sky and kept her distance away.

Issei who fought with Riser had a hard time. He was frowning while Riser was laughing hard. Finally, Issei was burned by Riser's flame, causing him to get teleported away from the arena.

Rias who saw that finally surrendered and her knees gave up. She kneeled on the ground while looking down.

Looking at the display, I could see that they were doing better and stronger from the canon, but Shirone was not there to help her. They could win, but they were too confident and didn't account for the possibility of losing.

I stood up from the couch and walked away because the game was done. Sona just had her gaze glued on the screen and muttered.

"Rias…"

Hagoromo Gitsune followed me quietly and we exited the room together. After we exited the room, Hagoromo Gitsune flicked her hair to the back and said.

"That was game, indeed. They even teleport the injured away when they clearly could fight." She smiled at me as she said that.

"Right, they didn't account for the desire of the player and just let them go away after they got injured at some degree. It's clear that the cornered rat was more dangerous than a cat."

"And I experienced that two times." Added Hagoromo Gitsune.

"Well, let's prepare for our war. I had spread my senses since the start of the game, and they had arrived earlier than I had expected."

"Oh? Finally, it's our turn? Shall I call for my Hyakki Yakkou too?"

I looked at Hagoromo Gitsune and smiled smugly, "That's why Kuroka and Tsura are in my mansion. They could teleport both of our Hyakki Yakkou with no problem."

We exited the school and I transformed myself into my youkai form. Kanto was not too far from Kuoh's Town. I spread my senjutsu bigger than usual and I managed to cover even Kanto with it. Then I sent Kuroka a signal that it was the time for war.

She sent a signal back to me and then I smiled, "Let's begin."
