"Last month." Rias said, "We've been focusing more on our contracts to help increase our ranking's among Devils."

"Oi…" I muttered, "Rias… There is something bothering you, it's something that's plaguing you, I can see it in your eyes. You need to ask yourself, what is going to be the most likely thing to free you of this burden? A High Rank among devils, or the strength to overpower whatever comes in your way."

Rias looked down at the fountain, "I suppose I should have been taking our training seriously, but…" Rias said, "Most of what I believe is holding us back is our past. Akeno is a powerful queen but she refuses to let her heritage show, same with Koneko, and Kiba has his own issues."

"Rias." I said putting my hand on her shoulder, "Tell me, what is your most likely way to free you of your burden?"

Rias stared at the fountain some more, "Either someone takes my virginity… Or a Rating Game with the odds stacked against me." Rias said.

I sighed, "So first off, I'm not gonna fuck you Rias." I said bluntly, causing Rias to blush at the general thought, "Secondly, while I can't tell you to go fix your peerage's issues, as that is something that must happen in their own time. I can tell you that while they may be holding back their true power for whatever reason, they can still get stronger without needing to overcome these problems."

"How?" Rias said, her eyes starting to water, "Our group training sessions only get us so far, we can't train against each other and get much stronger when we already know what we can do."

I nodded at her logic, you can only get so much fighting experience fighting the same thing over and over again, "Well then… Tell me how you all fight, as a gamer I might be able to come up with something." I said, "I find that Video Games have caused me to look up a fair bit."

Rias nodded, "Akeno specializes in Electricity magic, it's her main offense and she holds sadistic qualities when casting it. Koneko as a Rook is incredibly strong and defensive, she fights with her fists as her weapons, going for strong punches. Kiba is a Knight, both in piece and how he fights, he uses mostly his speed to land quick blows to finish his enemies quickly, and he was trained by a master swordsman of an older Japan."

I nodded at all this, "And you? Do you have any special tactics or do you just span your Power of Destruction?" I asked with a grin of my face, one that Rias answered by pouting and turning away. "Okay so here's what I can come up with."

"Tell me." Rias all but pleaded.

"First, you need to work on using things OTHER than your Power of Destruction, you can't rely on just Kiba and Koneko if you fight something that effectively eats magic, I'd like to thank Shin Megami Tensei for teaching me that one." I said.

"Shin Megami Tensei?" Rias asked.

"Video Game series, JRPG by Atlus, revolves around demons and not afraid to kick you in the ass." I waved off, "Second, Akeno… See if Akeno can use her magic to amplify her physical abilities, I don't care who you are, lightning may hurt, but an electrical punch will definitely numb something."

"Magic… strengthen… body." Rias muttered writing this down on a notebook.

"For Koneko and Kiba…" I said turning to thoughts, "Hmm… Well with Koneko you an take a few routes. First there's the Berserker, train Koneko to basically just bum rush the enemy and pummel them with no regards to her safety."

"Not going to happen." Rias deadpanned as she crossed her arms.

"Figured as much, even I hate Berserkers, hate dealing with them hate working with them." I said chuckling, seriously save for a few very good berserkers I've seen in games I've found myself taking up the role of medic more often than I like cause they keep dying, "Next is making her a Juggernaut or Tank type fighter, bolster her strength and endurance to the point where, at the cost of high mobility, she can shrug off almost any physical attack and level the most durable of buildings with ease… Or you could just work on her speed to compensate for her defenses."

Rias thought about it for a while, "Maybe… Have you ever fought Tank's in your games?" Rias asked, "How effective were they?"

"A pain in the ass to fight, the guy I hide behind when it's an ally." I said chuckling, "Seriously though outside of magic there really isn't a good way to combat a Tank, I've had a whole team of allies get decimated by a single Tanking player, granted it took him forever to reach us but we really couldn't nickel and dime him to death very well."

"Nickel and dime?" Rias asked.

"Tiny amount's of damage built up over time in gaming terms." I said looking back at Rias, "Not the most effective way to fight admittedly, but sometimes you've got to work with what you can."

"And what about Kiba?" Rias asked.

"Well, what kind of sword does he use?" I asked, even though I already knew he could use whatever kind of sword he imagined.

"His Sacred Gear is Sword Birth, basically meaning he can create any kind of Demonic sword he can imagine." Rias said proudly.

I chuckled, "Well, never mind my suggestion of acquiring multiple swords…" However I knew one thing Kiba could work on that would subsequently bolster his strength, "What is the general size of the blade he uses?"

"An average Longsword general." Rias said, "Although his different elemented swords look differently they appear to weigh roughly the same."

"So one handed swords then, does he use a shield?" I asked.

"No." Rias answered shaking her head.

"So he uses one handed sword, no shield so he likely holds the sword double handedly or duel wields…" I said to myself, "Ask him to train using Bastard Sword's and Greatswords."

"What's the difference?" Rias asked even though she noted the suggestion down.
