  ....

  "Just stay bad don't interfere." Koneko's gaze softened slightly as she looked at Ravel.

  "Kooujou—this is an order from Riser-sama. You should surrender now!" One of the Rook girls said coldly, her tone incredibly arrogant.

  Suddenly—she lu Koneko, throwing a punch without any warning. It was a straightforward attack, relying solely on brute force.

  But to everyone's surprise, Koneko didn't even try to dodge. Instead, she swiftly moved her body ahe Rook's attack with an open hand strike.

  A loud—bang echoed through the area, followed by the Rook's pained scream, shattering the silence.

  Koneko's hand had brutally broken the Rook's arm, sending her flying backward, coughing up blood.

  "H-How? Wasn't Kooujou only a weak Mid-css?" Everyone was shocked.

  Acc to their intelligence, Koneko was supposed to be one of the weakest members of Rias's peerage.

  That's why they had sent a Mid-css Devil to deal with her, to secure an easy victory for Riser. But Koneko's performance sgested that she was another unknown variable!

  Kourned, her gaze cold as she sed the remaining three. Her overwhelming aura made them shudder.

  "e at me together—Don't waste my time." Koneko said calmly, staring at them.

  The injured Rook slowly backed away, shouting, "You two, help me take her down!"

  "Alright! Let's go!"

  The three girls charged at Koogether, f a triangle formation.

  But despite fag a three-protack, Rias and the others remained calm, as if they weren't worried at all.

  "Tekkai—(Iron Body)." Koneko activated the teique, her magic power surging suddenly. She braced herself to take the three girls' attacks head-on.

  When their attaded, they felt as if they had struck a solid steel wall. All their force rebounded back at them, causing their hands to throb with pain. They stared at Koneko in disbelief.

  "So weak!" Koneko muttered.

  "Sed Gate: Gate of Healing—open!" Koneko's form vahe grouh her crag from the force of her movement.

  In the instant, she appeared before the injured Rook.

  "Shigan—(Finger Pistol)." Koneko's fingers hardened, and she rapidly jabbed at the Rook, pierg through her body like bullets.

  She was careful to avoid any vital points, but the Rook was riddled with holes, blood gushing out, before she colpsed, dissolving into particles and being teleported out of the game.

  Then, Koneko moved like a wisp of smoke, weaviweewo remaining girls, her fists a blur as she struck them repeatedly. They were sent flying, and were ultimately eliminated.

  Seeing his peerage members, except for his Queen and his sister, all eliminated, Riser found it difficult to accept.

  'Why is this happening? How Rias's peerage be s?' Not only was Kiba—a Knight, strohan his Rooks, but even Koneko, a Rook, had horrifying strength and speed that far exceeded expectations.

  'Are they all monsters?'

  ...

  Of course, Riser wasn't the only one shocked. The Devils watg the broadcast from the Underworld were also astonished.

  "When did Rias's peerage bee so—" In the viewing stands, Maou Sirzechs was also surprised by the turn of events, but more than that, he was fused.

  As Rias's older brother—he knew about Koneko's recruitment. He was well aware of her previous power level.

  But from Koneko's performance, she had at least reached the level of a peak Mid-css. And that instantaneous burst of power earlier was not at all inferior to a High-css.

  And this had happened in just seven days—The situation was simply astounding.

  "But this improvement must be the work of that Human Rias found, the one named Kyoya Hibari, right?" Sirzechs murmured, a faint smile on his lips.

  As a doting younger sister-plex, Maou Sirzechs obviously cared deeply for his sister—So, when he heard that Rias had a human boyfriend, he had already heard about it from his wife, Evelyn.

  He had also learned from Evelyn that Kyoya had helped Rias and her peerage train for a week.

  Now—seeing Rias's peerage with such drastically improved power, it was clear that her human boyfriend was extraordinary. Now, It was certain that his sister could annul this political marriage ond for all.

  It seemed this Rating Game was going to be far more iing than anyone had anticipated.

  At the same time, Sirzechs's curiosity about Kyoya, the instigator of all this, intensified. He was eager to meet this remarkable young man.

  ...

  Meanwhile, ba the battlefield, Koneko was staring at Ravel, who was now visibly frightened and taking a few steps back.

  Seeing Ravel's fear, Koneko softened her tone slightly.

  "You don't have to worry—Kyoya-senpai told me that you're different from your brother. You're kind and not good at fighting. So I won't attack you. But you have to stay put and not run around."

  "Ah! Okay, I uand—Thank you for sparing me!" Hearing Koneko's words, Ravel remembered Kyoya and blushed slightly as she thanked her.

  Seeing Ravel's shy demeanor, Koneko couldn't help but think to herself, 'Hmph, is she trying to seduce him? Well, he did tell me to spare her. Pervert Kyoya-senpai—'

  ...

  "What the hell is going on? Their strength is pletely different from the intel!" Riser's Queen—Yubelluna, niamed the "Bomb Queen," was furious.

  Initially, after seeing Kiyome and Kiba's power, Yubelluna had not dared to uimate Koneko.

  She had po team up with her rades to take Koneko out first. But Akeno had intercepted her, preventing her from doing so.

  Furious, Yubelluna was forced to focus on Akeno. "It seems everyone else has fiheir fights. I guess it's our turn now." Akeno said, smiling at Yubelluna.

  "Let's fight—shall we?"

  "I o finish Akeno quickly, or else Riser-sama will be in danger. We might actually lose!"

  Yubelluna decided orategy and summoned a magic circle in the sky. tless magibs rained down on Akeno.

  But Akeno remained unfazed. With a wave of her hand, she summoned an equally rge number of lightning bolts that intercepted aroyed the magibs.

  "That was a bit weak. Since you didn't take the ce I gave you—don't bme me for what happe—Here I e!" Akeno smiled pyfully.

  Suddenly, Akeno shot into the sky, surrounded by crag electricity. In an instant, a giant, drai of lightning formed behind her, lunging towards Yubelluna.

  Yubelluna, seeing this, tried to dodge, but the lightning dragon seemed to have a life of its own, ging dire and striking her before she could react.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The battlefield echoed with the sound of thunder. Yubelluna, charred bck, plummeted from the sky.

  She stared at her battered body in disbelief.

  'I was defeated i? I'm a High-css Devil. How I be this weak?'

  ...

  'No. Akeno must have used her stro attack. She 't use it again—And I still have a trump card.'

  As Riser's Queen, Yubelluna naturally possessed a [Phoenix Tear]—givihe ability to revive oh full health.

  So, she immediately used the precious [Phoenix Tear] and was restored to her peak dition.

  "Hehe, I knew you'd have a [Phoenix Tear]." Akeno's voice rang out, a teasing smile on her face.

  "But that doesn't ge the fact that you'll lose!"

  "Lightning Prison!"

  As Akeno spoke, tless bolts of lightning swirled around them, f a cage that trapped Yubelluna within it in the blink of an eye.

  Yubelluna, who had been pnning to create a magic barrier, was fused by Akeno's as. 'Why isn't she attag me? Why is she trapping me?'

  Just as Yubelluna was trying to figure out how to break free from the cage, Akeno raised her hand, her eyes fshing with iy.

  "Wrath of the Thunder God!"

  The sky above them turned dark, and thunder roared. tless bolts of lightning desded from the storm clouds, striking Yubelluna.

  "This isn't over yet—Ice Meteor!" Akeno's hair suddenly turned ice-blue, and the temperature around them plummeted.

  Then—a Massive Iceberg—like a meteor from space, crashed down towards the trapped Yubelluna.

  Yubelluna's face was filled with terror. Trapped and uo escape, she could only watch helplessly as the lightning and the iceberg closed in on her.

  "Aaaaaah!!!!"

  With no way to resist, Yubelluna was first struck by the lightning, then crushed by the iceberg. Her screams echoed through the air before she was silenced, dissolving into particles of light and disappearing from the Rating Game.

  With this, Rias's team had suffered no losses, while Riser's team was pletely wiped out, except for Ravel, who was merely a spectator.
