Volume 3 Chapter 112 - Gremory VS Phenex Rating Game Part 2
Inside the Student Council Room of the Kuoh Academy of the Human Realm, three people are present, namely Sona, Tsubaki, and Kisuke. Since this is an unofficial match, not everyone is allowed to watch it. But that's only for live viewing. If requested, one can purchase the recording of the match which is already edited by the committee of the Rating Games.
Sona requested only three slots for live viewing which is why there are only three of them. Kisuke, however, is secretly pirating several screens and sending it real-time to his house and he doesn't feel any guilt in doing so. Normally, such actions would have been detected, but Kisuke's concealing technology can easily hide this fact.
Tsubaki serves some tea and snacks for the three of them while taking occasional glances towards the multiple screens floating around.
"What do you think about this game?" Sona asks Kisuke who is sitting beside her while she sips her tea. It is very rare for them to sit together without the chessboard on the table.
"Magic is really amazing… The technology here very advanced, especially that automatic retirement when a player receives a certain amount of damage. How do they keep track of the player's health? Is it those Evil Pieces that are inside them?" Kisuke commented and he added mentally, 'These Pieces are really sophisticated. Although I don't like how it works, the who invented this is a real genius.'
"Yes, but I don't really know how this Evil Pieces works and even the inventor himself won't reveal all of its qualities to be discovered by the users themselves." Sona replied, "By the way, what do you think their chances of winning?"
"Gremory's chances? Taking out Koneko out of the equation, their winning chances are just 5%." Kisuke took one cookie and started nibbling on it.
"That low huh… And here I thought they had at least a 15% chance of winning. Without Koneko, of course. I don't know how to add her into the equation. How much are their chances if you add Koneko?"
"Then they have around 25% chances of winning if Koneko moved out normally."
"Normally you say? Then what about the abnormal situation?"
"I hope good fortune would come to Fried Chicken, or else, he'll be killed~."
"What!? Are you pulling my leg!? That's the immortal Fried Chicken."
"Hahaha~. Perhaps. Let's just watch the show and see what miracle they could bring."
"Hmmm… I guess that's right… We'll know the result later."

Gremory Mansion in the underworld. Sirzechs is watching the proceeding along with his parents, Zeoticus Gremory and Venelana Gremory, and his son, Milicas Gremory.
Zeoticus has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson red hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like his two children, Sirzechs and Rias Gremory. He also has a short and red beard or stubble. While Venelana looks very much like her daughter with shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes much like the natural-born members of the Bael Clan. Due to her devil lineage, she appears around the same age as her daughter and her son who appears to be in his early to mid-twenties. Millicas, on the other hand, is a cute young boy with short crimson red hair inherited from his father, Sirzechs, and red eyes which he inherited from his mother, Grayfia.
"So it's starting… Sirzechs, Is it really needed to go through all this farce?" Zeoticus muttered while he stares at the screens showing her daughter instructing her peerage members.
"We have to give her some chance is you want her to accept the marriage voluntarily. And who knows, maybe she'll really win this game." His son, Sirzechs replied to him.
"I don't see any chances of her winning… Why do you think she can win?" Venelana asks this time.
"Rias luckily took this generation's Red Dragon Emperor. Maybe a miracle could happen… And besides… There is also that nekomata…"
"You mean Koneko-chan? What about her?" Venelana's attention was caught by the child who grew up in the mansion instead of the appearance of the Dragon Emperor.
"Grayfia reported that a human with the same age as Rias is helping Koneko train." Sirzechs rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"A human you say… What so special about it?" Zeoticus narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.
"Let's just watch the game… We'll see how it goes as even I don't know how to interpret Grayfia's report." Sirzechs didn't speak any further and focused his attention on the screen.
Zeoticus and Venelana looked at each other in confusion but after a while, they returned their attention to their daughter who already moved out and is approaching the new school building.

Rias' plan is to lure and eliminate all of Riser's 'Pawn' first as it won't be good for their team if even one of them promotes to 'Queen'
Rias splits the group into four. The first group is Issei and Koneko. The second is only an individual which is Yuuto. Third is Akeno and the last are Rias and Asia.
Issei and Koenko will serve as a lure to attract the enemies towards a certain point. Yuuto will act with guerrilla tactics in mind reducing their number further. Akeno will become a high powered moving artillery that will eliminate the groups that Issei and Koneko gathered while Rias and Asia will look for the chance to sneak towards Riser and confront him while his servants are busy.
Issei and Koneko arrived at the gymnasium where they would confront some of Riser's servants. Koneko easily defeated her opponent who is a fellow Rook with a single strike and watched Issei deal with the other three Pawns. Truthfully, Koneko could easily deal with four of them at the same time, but she followed Kisuke's advice not to help his comrades if he/she can deal with it. They also need experience he said.
Thanks to Issei's training, he was able to deal with Riser's three Pawns… Is what they chose to believe when they witness him incapacitate the three girls with his self taught magic called 'Dress Break' which removes all forms of clothing worn by the target.
"You're the worst! A menace to all women!" The twins shouted angrily while covering their bodies.
"You beast! You deviant incarnate!" Mira is shaking from cold wind grazing her bare skin.
"How disgusting…" Even the Rook Koneko took down commented between her pained groans.
"… I've lost all respect for you." Even Koneko, who is used to see Kisuke's perverted antics, was put off by this magic.
Issei looked away from Koneko's hurting gaze, "Ha-ha-ha… Say what you want… Kisuke can even strip female underwear without the latter's awareness even with her clothes on."
In the StuCo room, Sona and Tsubaki gave Kisuke a disgusted look.
But Kisuke ignored those stares and muttered, "What a fascinating magic. It'll take me a few days, but I can make my own version that wouldn't need any touch or gesture…"
Both Sona and Tsubaki shuddered at his words.
