Chapter 17: Chapter 17
After the appoinment, Xander returned in the mountains where Sona's mansion was located. He went to sleep after arriving, relaxing his body from all the training he did today.
The next morning, he woke up early, feeling refreshed as he started making breakfast for the girls. He just cooked a simple breakfast, although because of his skill it turned into a luxury instead. They were already getting used to the weird things that's happening to Xander, they even treated Shining foods as normal now.
While in the middle of cooking, Xander heard many footstep coming down from the second floor. He glanced at the girls walking downstairs while greeting them. "Goodmorning everyone~" the team responded an went to the table to wait for the food.
After a few minutes, Xander came to the table with the breakfast in hand, they immediately straightened themselves as if ready for a battle. This always happen because Xander's food was so good that even though he makes a lot of it, they would devour everything until nothing is left.
""Ittadakimasu!"" The peerage blessed the food and started eating at a fast pace. "Oh, right, Sona when are you gonna introduce me to your family?" Xander suddenly said making Sona almost choke. "I'll think about it, maybe after Rias's Rating Game?" Sona started to remember about her overprotective sister, worrying that she might attack Xander when they meet.
They immediately ended the conversation since its seems like Sona is worrying about something. They just focused on eating until they're finally full, after eating Xander started to fight all of them again to make them gain experience, he kept switching his combat style to make them experience fighting enemy who has many tricks up in their sleeves and to also make them used to adapting to change.
3 days has passed where Xander was training Sona's team and Koneko, the time for the Rating Game has finally arrived. When the Rias's Peerage was preparing, Xander went to Issei. "Hey, Issei" Xander called out to Issei. "What's up, Xander?" Issei asked wondering what Xander want. "Here, use it if its emergency" Xander handed Issei a wooden sword making him confuse. "That sword is a holy sword, Its lethal against Devils" Xander merely made a prototype holy sword just like how Satou did it.
Issei was surprised by his words as he thanked Xander for the sword. "Thank you very much! I'll keep it by my side!" Issei said as he returned to his team. The moment Issei appeared in his teammate's vicinity, everyone suddenly became stiff, they turned their head towards the wooden sword in Issei's side. "Hey, Issei-kun, what is that sword" Kiba as a knight couldn't hold his curiousity about the deadly sword hanging on his friends side.
"Oh, this? Xander gave it to me, he said its a strong sword!" They shuddered when they heard Xander's name, 'What strong sword, Isn't that a holy sword!?' their thoughts can be seen on their face as Issei explained to them. "He said that only use it when emergency so, I'm not using it anytime soon, Ah I'm not a swordsman anyway, Kiba you can have it" They sighed in relief hearing his words. If Issei is the one holding the sword there might some accident that would happen, but if its Kiba who handle swords since he was a child, they can be at relief. Kiba accepted the sword while holding it carefully.
They prepared until they heard Grayfia's voice announcing the start of the Rating Game. "I will be the judge for this Rating Game, the contestants will be teleported in a second" as soon as Grayfia said, they were confuse why they are still at the Occult Research Club. "We consulted both parties and agreed to use a replica of Kuoh Gakuen as the battleground" Grayfia explained making them understand that they are already in the special place.
"I hereby announce that the Rating Game between Riser Phenex and Rias Gremory is now in commence!" After Grayfia's announcement, Rias immediately implemented her plan as Riser merely instructed his peerage to beat the enemy. Koneko and Issei went to center of the school where they met the 3 pawns and 1 rook of Riser. "We know you're there, Gremory servants!" The enemy said while Koneko and Issei revealed themselves. The enemy sprinted towards Koneko and started fighting her, they were clashing but unlike the canon where Koneko got hit by the enemy, she was playing with the enemy instead.
"What the hell are you!?" The rook couldn't helped but ask seeing Koneko dodged all her attacks with simple movements. Koneko raised her right hand and suddenly flicked her finger, the impact was so strong that it destroyed the whole court itself. Fortunately Issei was much stronger than his canon version who merely undressed the enemies by using Dress Break. He beat them before escaping the court seeing as Koneko ready to launch a blow. He just didn't expect that it would be so strong that the shockwave literally erased the place itself.
Sirzechs Lucifer who was watching the Rating Game was flabbergasted, he knows that Rias would be defeated in this game, so he didn't expect much, but seeing Koneko's flick changed his mind. He got enthusiastic hoping that Rias would win so that he won't need to proceed with his plans. "Grayfia... Did you know about this?" Sirzechs asked his wife. "...No, When I last saw them, they were still weak, I didn't know a person could improve this much in just 10 days" Grayfia said also shocked by this sudden turn of events.
"By the way, Sirzechs-sama, did you remember that boy who destroyed my ice magic just by touching it?" Sirzechs nodded his head remembering Rias's friend who saves her face during the confrontation with Riser. "It seems like he really became Sona Sitiri's fiancée" Sirzechs was stunned hearing this, he didn't expect that Sona would really lose against that boy. It seems like many of his expectations are being destroyed today, so he can only sigh.
"Wait, does Serafall know about this?" Sirzechs asked worried about the Magical Girl killing the human for taking her dear sister from her. "Not yet" Grayfia's answer made him sighed in relief. "Now let's just watch how will this proceed". Sirzechs said with a happy smile on his face.
In Kiba Yuuto's case, the moment he revealed himself he was sneered by the three pawns of Riser. "Do you think you have what it takes to confront the three of us?" One of the pawns said, mocking Yuuto. He merely smiled as he said "Then why don't you find out?" They were infuriated by his reply as they dashed towards him. "Slash!", Yuuto sliced at the three of them where a sword aura appeared in his sword cutting the three of them in half, they disappeared in the place as Grayfia announced their resignation. Yuuto smiled while staring at the wooden sword in awe. What he didn't know though that the enemies he slashed with the sword was already crying in agony in the real world for being cut by a holy sword.
After destroying the court Koneko walked until she was hit by a bomb. Yubelluna was already smirking thinking that Koneko was already out, but she froze when she saw Koneko standing there unscathed. Koneko patted her outfit as if taking dust and stared at Yubelluna with her emotionless eyes. "What was that?" Koneko asked making Yubelluna's face scrunch in rage.
"You littl-" She was about to curse when Koneko suddenly appeared infront of her while stretching her arms as she slowly punched infront of Yubelluna. "Ei", the next moment the whole battleground shook as if it was going to break. Koneko's punch simply contain too much power that the half of the school vanished from the map.
"What happened!?" Riser shouted as he saw that he's the only one standing in his peerage and the school was placed by a devastated land. "Who did this!?" Riser asked while being wary about his environment. Everyone who is watching was also shocked, they knew that the little girls was somewhat strong but to this extent..
Rias and her servants was dumbstruck by what they witness. They saw the when Koneko punch Yubelluna, it literally demolished everything around her, Riser was the only survivor since he regenerated when he was about to die.
