"I'm going on ahead." "Kiba!" "Showing off how easy you have it!" "Pardon me." "I give up!" "Understood?" "The game will be held in ten days." "Ten days? I believe this is necessary to level the playing field." "but I must agree." "I'm going to take you up on your offer of using this time to train." "I'll use this training camp to make you a lot stronger." "A lot stronger." "Wow!" "This place looks lovely!" "Let's get inside and start training immediately." "Immediately?" "!" "i inserted it as monster}" "I'm a Demon." "Kiba. you mentioned something about hating Fallen Angels and Priests." "0)} 350)} the President also helped us. right?" "of course!" "Lesson one." "Even though I said that... you need to pay attention to your surroundings as well." "Just as expected of a Knight." "Come on!" "Don't let your guard down!" "Lesson two." "Direct your entire body's flow of aura to one area to focus your magic." "Focus your mind and feel the surge of magic." "I did it! it seems Asia-chan may have a talent for magic." "Asia getting stronger is actually great too." "awesome!" "or lightning." "this is what you'll practice next." "Okay!" "you should continue practising to focus your magic." "O-Okay." "The source of magic is your imagination." "Forming a clear image in your head is the essence of it." "huh?" "Exactly." "that's it." "Concentrate." "Concentrate!" "What am I thinking?" "Issei-kun?" "Nothing!" "Nothing at all!" "I-I'll do my best!" "Lesson three." "So weak." "I'm just getting started! precise blow." "Damn it!" "I don't stand a chance against Kiba or Koneko-chan at all." "Asia is way better." "There's nothing good about me!" "Everyone has their own specialities after all." "Specialities?" "What do you think my speciality is?" "Yours is perversion." "one other thing." "You're a hard worker." "I-Is that so?" "Koneko-chan!" "Okay." "Lesson four." "This time we're using magic... to cook?" "Just do what you can." "Good luck!" "please boil!" "{Water-san?" "} I could only conjure a mere speck of magic." "just thinking about her breasts makes me so... potatoes are easy as well!" "Issei-san!" "I just wasn't in form earlier." "This is my true power." "Just as expected!" "It feels like this has happened before." "That's right!" "It was when my Sacred Gear activated the first time." "I see!" "This... could mean... that I could become invincible! what should we do about this?" "The source of magic is your imagination." "Forming a clear image in your head is the essence of it." "Everyone has their specialities." "Yours is perversion." "You're making a lewd face." "Not at all!" "Issei." "Yes!" "How are you feeling after your first day of training?" "I was the weakest." "without a doubt." "Asia's healing ability and your Boosted Gear are both valuable resources to us. so make sure you can at least protect yourselves so you don't drag the others down." "R-Roger." "Yes." "I'm the one who got Asia into this." "I have to be able to protect her." "why don't we take a bath?" "A bath?" "!" "are you planning on peeking at us?" "{Hell yeah I am}" "Want to go in with us?" "I don't mind." "Akeno?" "I want to try washing a guy's back." "right?" "Koneko?" "I refuse." "then." "Too bad!" "I'll curse you."

"What do you think my specialty is?" "389)}Yours is perversion." "that's my power!" "My power!" "Just as expected." "Yes." "It's just like her." "Her chances of winning are... pretty much none." "but you still..." "I merely gave her a choice." "Rias made the decision herself as the heiress of the Gremory Family." "Yes." "Asia." "Issei-san?" "! but you're the only one I can ask for this." "Sorry?" "I can do it!" "I'm sure I can do it!" "60)}Issei-san..." "I want to borrow your clothes." "60)}He looked so serious." "60)}What is he trying to do? waged a huge war a long time ago that seemingly lasted an eternity." "there was no true victor."

"the Rating Game was created." "It allows our servants to gain real battle experience and gives us masters a chance to demonstrate our abilities." "one's performance in these games has a huge influence on rank and position." "We should take a break now." "I guess all of you are tired." "I'll go make some tea." "I'll join you!" "Asia!" "Sorry about last night." "Oh no!" "You were really amazing back th—" "Let's keep it our secret for now." "Our secret? and far from usable." "I understand." "I'll help you until your ultimate move is complete!" "Ultimate move?" "It's a secret!" "Asia." "please tell us what you know." "O-Okay." "there are two key tools that the exorcists possess." "The first is this; holy water." "Demons like you should never touch it." "What happens if we do?" "Something very bad." "Bad?" "Being ambiguous only makes it scarier." "you're a Demon too." "I forgot. but I can show you how it's made. the Bible." "I've been reading it ever since I was young." "even reading a single line gives me a strong headache!" "It's so troublesome." "after all." "indeed." "A Demon." "Big damage to the Demon." "but this passage is absolutely enlightening!" "The pain...!" "please forgive me for no longer being able to read the Bible!" "I can't take it!" "I can't tell whether she's serious or trying to be funny." "But I'm even less talented than Asia." "One more time!" "Issei?" "President." "What are you doing at this hour?" "Perfect timing." "Let's have a talk. {BEAUTY IN GLASSES!" "MOE MOE MOE~!" "}" "Is that about war strategy?" "playing it by the book is only good as consolation." "That's not true!" "You're working hard this late at night..." "But this time we're up against Phenex." "I'm sure you heard of it." "A sacred beast said to be an immortal bird. his family shares their name with this sacred beast." "considered elite even among the 72 Keys." "He also shares the sacred beast's power... immortality." "Immortality?" "Is that even possible?" "!" "he's pretty much invincible." "he'll regenerate instantly." "His game record shows eight wins and two losses." "these two losses were against an allied family." "He lost on purpose. the Phenex Family rose to prominence extremely fast." "isn't it?" "he simply can't lose." "I'm sorry." "What for?" "I forced you into this fight." "that was helpful." "We could cut to the chase afterwards." "knowing I would lose. a swindle. {I hate playing chess... _} why are you opposed to the engagement?" "I'm the daughter of the Gremory Family." "I'm never treated as an individual." "I'm always Rias Gremory." "The name Gremory follows me everywhere. but as Rias. but I still hold on to this small dream." "I'd love you regardless of rank and name." "I don't know anything about your family or the social hierarchy of Demons." "right now. you're my number one. {nice one Mr. Playboy}" "D-Did I say something strange?" "Not at all." "let's try to win this battle." "Kiba told me people call you the Ruin Princess because you're a genius of that magnitude." "And now your first battle is against that guy..." "You're wrong. but something cultivated by the Gremory Family for many generations." "They belong to both me and the Gremory household." "That's why I won't lose." "I will win." "There's no other choice but to win." "just as I thought." "I'm totally useless." "Issei?" "Being here made me constantly realize" "I'm the most useless. it's wasted on me." "I always foolishly rush forward." "I'm always causing you problems." "I'm..." "I'm... completely worthless!" "Issei?" "I'll give you more confidence." "Confidence?" "That's right." "you should try to calm your mind and body for now." "I'll stay by you until you fall asleep." "Issei." "I will definitely give you confidence." "Issei!" "But you said I shouldn't use it during this camp." "that is." "Yuuto?" "President." "I won't go easy on you!" "Boosted Gear!" "Boost!" "Try again." "Boost!" "Boost!" "Once more." "Boost!" "Boost!"

"You wouldn't have been able to handle so many boosts before this camp." "That is the result of your training." "I see!" "Begin." "Let's go." "Boosted Gear!" "Explosion!" "That is?" "It allows Issei to temporarily fight with the accumulated power." "Yuuto!" "unleash your magic!" "it's still this much!" "Shoot!" "You...!" "my." "The mountain was levelled!" "This is my power..." "Issei-san!" "I guess he used up all his energy." "how did he do?" "I was really surprised." "That one shot was equivalent to a high-class Demon's attack!" "you will be a decisive factor in the game." "Your attack power will greatly influence the outcome of it." "in yourself." "Believe in everyone... and myself..." "Issei." "I'd love you regardless of rank and name." "you're my number one." "But it's in the middle of an important game!" "This is too much!" "what are you crying over?" "Asia." "It's time!"
