Highschool CxC (Cursed Chicken) (SI/WC)

The clubroom is filled with tension, even me as dense as I am can feel the heaviness in the room but my fellow peerage members seem to be as calm as ever.

Kiba seems to be checking a new sword he created with his sacred gear, Sword Birth. Koneko is adjusting cute fighting gloves that seem to fit her to a T. And the two great onee-samas are just spinning tea like it is nothing. The only nervous one here seems to be me and the quietly fretting Asia, worried about the injuries her friends will get.

I could hear the door to our main room being opened and in came the student council president and the vice president. I still can't believe that the strict eyeglasses wearing president is a devil herself. Aren't they supposed to let their desires come out. Let those oppai free like Rias-buchou does, damn it.

"Excuse the intrusion, Rias." she spoke with her usually cold voice.

"Good evening Sona." Buchou welcomed her warmly. "Please come in." added our queen.

"Why is the student council here Buchou?" I questioned

"The rating game is being shown to members of both the houses, they are in charge of the viewing, think of them like moderators in a livestream." ah so they're like the ones who do replay in tv shows and such.

Rating games really are a pastime for devils huh.

"I volunteered to do this myself. This is your first game after all, Rias."

"I will fight hard so as to not embarrass you by calling me your rival." well if your rival is too weak what does that say about you after all. They are considerate towards each other huh.

A knock came from the door and opened without even a 'come in' from Buchou, I was wondering who was rude enough to just come in like they own the place. And lo and behold, the fried chicken actually came here himself.

"Oi, what the hell are you doing here coming in here like you own the place" I told him as such.

He looked quite different from before, he was now wearing a red button up shirt that is actually all buttoned up compared to before when he came here before with his chest bared. He was also wearing an all white suit, white pants and his sleeves were folded up showing his bare arms.

"Quiet Issei, but I do agree, what are you doing here Riser? Here to get in our heads?" Buchou said with a heated glare. "If you are here to surrender then I will gracefully accept."

"No Rias, I'm just here to wish you good luck and to talk. More like question you, but it's all the same isn't it?" He told her firmly.

"I don't need your sentiments, we will win this Riser and I will finally be free of you." Surprisingly he looked a little hurt by that actually

"Am I really that bad, Rias? I tried to get us to work, didn't I? What was so bad about me that this rating game is actually necessary?" he asked, looking directly at Buchou, like all of us in the room doesn't even exist.

"Because you stole my freedom Riser, It's all because of you that I can't even marry who I love, someone who loves me for who I am and not just because of my family name, someone that is not you. You who only love me for Rias Gremory." Buchou told him heatedly what she told me that night. The night I promised to myself to save her and free her.

"So it is not me that you hate Rias, but it is what I represent, the concept that you are not free. I am your idealized version of your shackles, but because you can't lash out at your family all your ire came to me." He told her solemnly, melancholy in his voice.

"That's.." Buchou tried to respond but was unable to form the right words.

"And for the record, I did love you Rias… See you on the battlefield." He told her, staring at her eyes with no mocking tone like he did when he was last here. And he left with the phenex magic circle enveloping him.

"What was that Rias?" the student council president asked her.

"I-I don't know, he must have been here like I said, he was messing with our heads to make us doubt ourselves." she said, unsure of her words. His words must have had a big effect on her if she was this flustered.

"It's alright, Buchou, we just need to beat up that chicken and everything will go back to the way it should be!!" I tried to encourage her and the fires of determination once again filled up her eyes.

"Yes, you're right Issei, I'm sorry everyone for losing my composure." President said apologetically.

"It's alright Rias, we are all here to support you after all." Akeno-san encouraged her softly.

Koneko-chan just gave a thumbs up and Kiba nodded to our King, damn that pretty boy for doing things so coolly. And Asia babbled up some encouraging words for her.

"Thank you everyone." She smiled warmly at all of us.

A white magic circle appeared and the white haired bombshell of a maid teleported to our clubroom. Looking as stoic as ever, I wonder what kind of smile she has, she's really pretty so she should have a beautiful smile. She's so intimidating though.

"Are you all prepared then?" Questioned the maid.

"Yes we are all ready."

"Once the time to start has arrived, all of you will be relocated to the field of battle by this magic circle." Grayfia-san explained to all of us though I do have one question.

"Field of battle?"

"A different space created just for the game, it's expendable, so we can go wild and do whatever we want. Even if we destroy everything in it, it would be fine, ufufufu." What the- just how powerful are all these devils that they can create something like that?

"I will be in the student council room monitoring the battle Rias, Good luck out there." Sona-san bid farewell to our president.

"Thank you but keep the play-by-play fair, okay?" Buchou teased her rival.

"Incidentally, this battle will be watched by the Devil king, Sirzechs Lucifer-sama" Grayfia-san told Buchou which surprised her as Buchou said something quite absurd for me. "I see, my older brother too?"

"Eh?" Buchou's brother is the demon lord, wait does that mean she has that much of a high standing? How am I supposed to compete with that? In fact, how can they even force Buchou to marry like this? Can't the demon lord just say no and that's that?

"Yes, the president's brother is the Maou, The scarlet-haired devil, Crimson Satan, Sirzechs Lucifer is our president's older brother. He succeeded the previous Devil Lord Lucifer, who was killed in the last great war." Kiba informed us of the details.

I see that's why Buchou became the heir of the family. And why Buchou is so tied to the Gremory family name.

The magic circle in the room glowed brighter, looking like it's time "Let's go everyone and let's win this." Buchou led us to stand in the magic circle and we were all teleported to where the fate of our master will be determined.

When I opened my eyes, I could see… the clubroom? Eh? Did I mess up somehow? I can't teleport yet but did that affect the magic circle? Oh no, did I cause us to accidentally lose or forfeit?

"Nothing has changed has it?" Even Asia questioned what happened.

"Look outside." Buchou pointed outside and I could see the sky was different, a kaleidoscope of colors enveloped the skies and it actually hurt a little to look at.

"Everyone, I am Grayfia, I have been tasked to be the referee of this match for the House of Gremory and the House of Phenex. With the suggestions from both participants, it was determined that the battlefield will be a replica of Kuoh Academy, the educational facility in which the Gremory heiress attends." This really is an insane amount of power, I am just now realizing again how small I am even though I have gotten much stronger during this month of training.

"The base of Lady Rias will be the Occult Research Club Room in the old school building, while Lord Riser will be situated in the Principal's Office in the new school building. As such promotions will be available to each pawn when they arrive in their opponent's school building." Grayfia-san informed the whole battlefield.

"This is easy then, I just have to sneak into their building and I would have the power of a queen. Easy peasy" Yeah this would be easy, I trained hard for this moment after all.

"Ara ara, it won't be that easy Issei-kun" Akeno-san discouraged me.

"Consequently, if they reached here Issei-kun, then all their pawns will turn to queens, and they have 8 pawns while we only have you Issei-kun, so we have to be really careful" Kiba was right, well it's all going to work out, I just have to believe in my comrades.

While Buchou and the others discussed our strategy, they laid out a map. I couldn't really understand any of what they are saying but I will just follow their plan when they tell me what it is, but to summarize the things that I did understand.

It seems that Koneko-chan together with Kiba will booby trap, hehehe booby, the whole forest, meanwhile Akeno-san will set a big trap to trick our opponents and even make an illusion to trick our opponents twice. My comrades are such big brains that I can't even comprehend their thought process, maybe they even achieved the galaxy brain that was prophesied.

Meanwhile Asia will stay here as our healer, I mean it makes sense, always protect the healer afterall, even in games the healer is the most important.

And I will… "Eh? Can you say that again, buchou?"

"Lie down over here Issei." Buchou says she sat down on the couch and patted her lap.

"Eh? I-is, is t-this the l-legendary l-l-lap pi-pillow?" I exclaimed, will I experience that heavenly feeling that all the normies actually experience?

"Just come." Buchou commanded impatiently and as I lay my head in her lap I couldn't help but feel the sensation with my whole body, this velvety soft feeling, but also firm enough to push my head back.

Is this heaven, I mean I am a devil but, is this actually possible?

As I continued to lay there, buchou kept patting my head when suddenly POWER, power unlike something I have ever felt before filled up my body. And buchou explained to me the benefits of me being her only pawn, how all the power of all pawns are in me. And it was only locked because my body couldn't handle it otherwise.

That's why buchou kept pushing me so hard, I… I am so sorry for cursing you in my mind while training buchou!!! I will never doubt you ever again. I cry out inside of me.

"Listen to me Issei, your opponents may be girls, but be sure to defeat them. Don't hold back against them. They won't hold back against you after all."

"I understand, I will bring victory to you President!"

"Yes, I am looking forward to it, my dear Issei." Buchou smiled warmly at me.

In the communicator we were given before the match the seductive sound of Akeno-san came through, "Buchou all preparations are complete."

"Alright, here is the plan..."

~~~(Jujutsu Kaisen OST: Thunderclap)~~~

It should be enough time, they should be making their moves now. Witness it Rias, witness the true power of what the grind can bring to you, and how much farther the distance between my peerage and yours is.

Witness that before true strength, all your planning, all your wits, all of it is nothing, It all amounts to nothing.

~~~

Suuuuuu!!!

A whistling sound can be heard from outside. "Buchou, what's that?" Looking outside I can see the sky light up and in the center of that light is a long narrow object… is that… a flaming arrow?

"Rias!!! We have incomi-!!!" The panicked voice of Akeno-san came through our left ears before a deafening explosion and white filled our vision. The ground rumbled as if an earthquake just hit.

My ears are ringing, my vision is black and my head is throbbing. Looking to my side a green glow can be seen, is that Asia? Her hands are shaking. Don't worry Asia I won't let anything happen to you.

"Buchou, Asia!!! Are you alright!!?" I scream, I can't even hear my own voice.

Looking around I made the mistake of looking outside the window. And in it despair is all I see.

This is what we are fighting against? Power like this? I find myself doubting myself and my abilities, for outside, the whole forest in front of our clubhouse is gone. Our plans to trap and confuse them are now gone for there is now a straight path leading to our base.

What the hell are we supposed to do here?
