"A… Youkai?" The devils all felt a chill in their spine when the blue-flaming two tailed cat stomped a paw forward and roared. Its roar was powerful enough to uproot buildings.
(Back in the game field)
The devil kids were scattered around, carried away by Matatabi's sonic roar.
"A n-nekomata?" Koneko couldn't believe it, standing with cuts and bruises here and there. She's never seen a nekomata with such a high amount of energy before. It constantly flicked in and out of her senses.
"How are we supposed to fight this?" Saji chuckled.
Naruto was having an internal conversation with his tenants while devilkind went through a commotion at the reveal of such a Youkai.
"Why'd you summon me?!"
"What else? To instill the fear of me in them."
"Are you dumb?! A Bijū of all things! A Bijū, Naruto?!" Kurama groaned in exasperation.
"Relax guys, as far as they know, Matatabi is a Youkai. My familiar."
"When we said yes to S-rank moves, summoning one of us wasn't in the list. Far from it." Gyuki deadpanned.
"Relax guys. I got this."
Naruto, who was riding on Matatabi's head, grinned, unable to contain his excitement when he saw the devastated look on Rias' face. He closed his eyes and folded his arms. "Well then, Rias Gremory, what are you going to do?"
Issei decked out in his balance breaker consulted his partner.
"Ddraig."
"I'm sorry partner but with your current strength, you can only resign to the power before you." Ddraig went silent for a few moments before he added the nail to the coffin. "I'll be hard pressed to defeat this beast before you in my prime."
Issei deactivated scalemail and balled his fist.
Rias gritted her teeth in hopelessness. She didn't have that kind of juice. Was this her limit? How did Naruto manage to tame something like this?
"Have you come to realize… I'm leagues above you?" he asked.
Rias could only stare on in apprehension.
"Well, I don't need an answer. Your state more than answers my question. This game was fun while it lasted."
Rias gritted her teeth… It had only been a game to him all along.
With a mental command, Matatabi raised one tail up and the rest was history… Probably the fastest spontaneous natural disaster devilkind has ever witnessed.
Rias Gremoy and her peerage have been retired.
Sona Sitri and her peerage have been retired.
Winner: Uzumaki Naruto.
"See, that wasn't so hard, was it?"
Matatabi shook her head in ire and went back to the seal in the same fashion she came out.
(Inside the waiting room)
Naruto appeared in the room, his clothes back to the pristine condition it was before he entered the gamefield.
"Looks like I'll have devil errands for the rest of the term." Naruto cackled inwardly with glee
He raised an eyebrow at the gray-haired maid staring at him with her poker face on before he spotted his wayward students in a corner of the room.
"Did I think out loud?" he wondered.
"Naruto-sensei Congratulations." Sona moved forward with her peerage behind her. Tsubaki's normal look of disdain had disappeared and was replaced with a hint of fear. Saji seemed… Normal. He was actually smiling at him. "My peerage are at your beck and call—"
"Hold it, we never agreed to that." Naruto shifted his gaze to Rias, she recoiled in shock at the implication of his words.
"B-b-but, Sensei!" she tried to protest.
"Nope! A deal's a deal."
"We… had no chance against that familiar!"
"All is fair in love and war. You should have thought twice before you challenged me."
Rias bit back her retort. Naruto was right. She put her family in slavery because of her arrogance, because she couldn't stand Uzumaki Naruto. She had failed them yet again. Seems she still had a lot to learn.
"Do you regret your decision Rias-sama? Is your defeat baffling? Do you find It frustrating that you lost to Naruto-sama?" Grayfia spoke up all of sudden.
Rias stared at the ground and rubbed her shoulder. "Yes." It was barely above a whisper but they all heard.
"You should be… it's a normal thing. But you should know, you never stood a chance in the first place." Rias brandished her teeth at Grayfia who seemed nonchalant about her declaration, plummeting her already low self-confidence in the process.
"When lord Odin visited the underworld, an sss-rank demon escaped Hel."
Rias, Sona, Akeno, and Tsubaki went wide-eyed. The rest seemed confused but the words sss-rank, demon, escaped and hell told them it was something serious.
"Its four clones escaped to Earth and caused havoc in the world of man. One of them escaped to Kuoh."
"And we weren't told of this?!" Rias bellowed.
"You guys couldn't have done a thing about it. The demon was above your level by a far margin."
"We… we could have done something. Kuoh is our home!"
"Sirzechs-sama created a four-man team with Serafall-sama as the leader. Beowulf-sama, Souji-sama, and me as support."
"No wonder Nee-sama was absent." Sona found her sister's absence in the pact treaty bizarre but since they gave a valid explanation, she dropped the matter.
"Upon getting to Earth, Naruto-san here had already 'killed' a clone."
"He did?" they asked in surprise.
"We found the other clones and battle ensued. The demon somehow regained its full strength and possessed one of Naruto-sama comrades. Naruto-sama and his friend fought the demon valiantly together and defeated it."
"Sensei did?" Rais whispered in astonishment. Losing to Naruto, no, just fighting him, seemed more like an honor than defeat. Breathing in the same room felt like an honor.
After all these while… No wonder he treated her like she was insignificant. With his strength, she might as well be to him. Thinking about all the tantrums and insults she threw at him, shouldn't help but chide herself.
Rias Gremory gritted her teeth and balled her fist. It is of utmost importance to make amends when you realize your mistakes. "I'm sorry, Naruto-sensei."
Naruto's blue orbs widened a fraction in disbelief. His ears must be playing games with him so he gave the only intelligent reply he could, "Sorry what?"
"I'm sorry for everything." Rias bowed.
