Chapter 18: Rating game



As the training continued, the group's bond deepened. Raizel's unique approach—combining rigorous training with light-hearted moments—helped them grow stronger both as individuals and as a team.

Raizel, observing their progress, felt a sense of pride. "You've all come a long way," he said, his tone sincere.

"Remember, strength isn't just about power. It's about trust, unity, and the will to protect those you care about."

The team nodded, the weight of his words sinking in. They knew the upcoming challenges wouldn't be easy, but with Raizel's guidance and their growing bond, they felt ready.

'The Day of the Rating Game'

The day of the Rating Game had finally arrived. The tension was palpable as the members of the Occult Research Club gathered in their familiar room.

It was six in the morning, an hour before the game, and the atmosphere was filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.

Sona Sitri and her Queen, Tsubaki Shinra, were also present, offering their support and last-minute advice.

'Pre-Battle Preparations'

Rias and her team sat in a circle, discussing their final strategies. Raizel sat nearby while calmly sipping his tea, his calm presence offering a sense of reassurance.

"You've all trained hard for this moment," Sona said, her voice steady. "Remember, it's not just about individual strength but how well you work together as a team."

Tsubaki nodded in agreement. "Stay focused, and remember what you've learned. You've grown significantly over the past weeks."

As they talked, a magic circle appeared in the center of the room, glowing with a radiant light. Grayfia Lucifuge stepped out, her expression composed as always.

"You've all become stronger," Grayfia acknowledged, her gaze sweeping over the group. "It's time to put your skills to the test. Prepare yourselves; I will be transporting you to the battlefield shortly."

Sona stood, giving Rias a supportive nod. "We'll be watching from the student council. Give it your all."

With that, Sona and Tsubaki left the room, leaving the Occult Research Club to their final moments of preparation. Grayfia's next words, however, brought a new wave of tension.

"Sirzechs-sama will be watching the Rating Game," Grayfia informed them.

The room buzzed with reactions. Rias's eyes widened slightly, a mixture of surprise and determination in her expression. Issei swallowed nervously, while Koneko and Asia exchanged glances.

Akeno maintained her composure, but the weight of the revelation was evident.

"He will be observing to see how far you've come," Grayfia added, her tone neutral but encouraging. "Now, get ready."

Raizel stepped forward, his calm demeanor unshaken. "Good luck to all of you," he said, his gaze lingering on Akeno. "Especially you, Akeno. Show them your true strength."

Akeno smiled softly, the warmth in her eyes reflecting her gratitude. "Thank you, Raizel. We'll make you proud."

With those final words, a magic circle appeared beneath them, and they were teleported to the battlefield—a secluded dimension created specifically for the Rating Game.

'The Battlefield'

The battlefield was vast and eerily quiet, a perfect replica of Kuoh Academy but devoid of life. The tension in the air was thick as both teams took their positions.

On one side stood Rias and her peerage, ready and determined. On the other side, Riser Phenex and his peerage, exuding confidence and arrogance.

Grayfia's voice echoed through the dimension. "The Rating Game between Rias Gremory and Riser Phoenix will now begin."

With that declaration, the battle commenced.

'Issei and Koneko vs. Riser's Pawns'

Issei, empowered by Raizel's training, utilized his Boosted Gear creatively. Instead of brute force, he employed strategic boosts and tranfer.

Koneko, with her enhanced hand-to-hand combat skills, provided support, her movements swift and precise. Together, they overwhelmed Riser's pawns, forcing them to retreat.

'Asia's Healing and Support,

Asia stayed behind, focusing on healing and providing support. Her enhanced healing abilities allowed her to quickly mend injuries, keeping the team in fighting shape.

Her newfound confidence shone through as she cast protective barriers and healing spells without hesitation.

'Akeno's Lightning Fury'

Akeno took to the skies, unleashing devastating lightning attacks on Riser's Queen and Bishops. Her mastery of magic, combined with Raizel's teachings, allowed her to cast powerful spells with ease.

Her presence was commanding, her attacks relentless, as she fought with grace and intensity.

'Rias vs. Riser'

Rias confronted Riser directly, her Power of Destruction refined and focused. The battle between the two leaders was fierce, their attacks shaking the battlefield.

Rias's control over her power allowed her to match Riser's regenerative abilities, and her determination to win was evident in every move she made.

Throughout the battle, the team's synergy was their greatest strength. They communicated effectively, covering for each other and adapting to the changing circumstances.

Raizel's emphasis on teamwork paid off, as their coordinated efforts allowed them to gain the upper hand.

'The Turning Point'

As the battle raged on, Rias's team slowly but surely began to dominate. Issei, after pushing himself to his limits, delivered a decisive blow to Riser, forcing him to retreat.

Akeno's lightning attacks incapacitated Riser's Queen, and Koneko's relentless assault took down several more of his pieces.

Finally, it was Rias who delivered the final blow. Channeling all her energy into a single, concentrated attack, she unleashed her Power of Destruction, overwhelming Riser and forcing him to concede.

'Victory and Reflection'

The battlefield fell silent as Grayfia's voice echoed once more. "The winner of the Rating Game is Rias Gremory."

Cheers erupted from Rias's team as the realization of their victory sank in. They had done it—through hard work, determination, and the guidance of their mentors, they had triumphed.

Back in the Occult Research Club, Raizel watched their return with a calm smile. His eyes met Akeno's, a silent exchange of pride and affection passing between them.

"You've all done well," Raizel said, his voice steady. "This is just the beginning. Continue to grow, and remember the strength you've found in each other."

The team nodded, their spirits high. They had faced a formidable opponent and emerged victorious, their bond stronger than ever. And as they celebrated their hard-earned victory, they knew that with Raizel's continued guidance, there was no challenge they couldn't overcome.
