Chapter 28: Unleash My Ultimate Move
After ten days of intense training, we, the Gremory servants, are ready. The showdown with Riser Phoenix is fast approaching.
It's 11:30 PM, just 30 minutes until the battle begins. Each of us is spending this time in our own way to calm our minds.
Kiba is sitting in meditation. Koneko-chan is doing light stretches with her fingerless gloves on. Akeno-san is serving us herbal tea. Asia seems tense and unable to relax. Meanwhile, Rias is wearing glasses, deeply engrossed in a tactical manual.
We're all wearing our Kuoh Academy uniforms, except for Akeno, who's in a shrine maiden outfit, which she calls her "battle attire."
"Excuse me." At that moment, Grayfia-san knocked and entered the room.
"Are you all prepared?"
"Yes, we're ready, Grayfia."
Grayfia-san nodded at Rias's reply and then activated a magic circle.
"Everyone, you will be transported to the battlefield through this magic circle. The field is disposable, so feel free to go all out."
'Wow, demonic technology is amazing.' I thought.
"Also, please remember that the heads of both families and Lord Lucifer himself will be watching this game," Grayfia-san added.
"Oh, so not just my father, but my brother will be here too."
Lord Lucifer, as Grayfia-san mentioned, is actually Rias's older brother. No wonder this Rating Game is attracting so much attention. By the way, the Fallen Angels who aren't participating in this game, like Raynare, will be watching from a different location.
"Then, everyone, I wish you the best of luck." With Grayfia-san seeing us off, the six of us stepped into the magic circle.
The place we were transferred to was the clubroom.
Huh? Did the transfer fail?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Grayfia Lucifuge, the referee for this Rating Game."
So Grayfia-san is the referee.
"This battlefield is a replica based on Kuoh Academy, where Rias Gremory-sama attends."
Seriously!? Is this all a replica? Even the personal belongings are perfectly recreated!
"Both teams will begin at their respective bases. Rias-sama's base is the old school building's Occult Research Club room. Riser-sama's base is the new school building's student council room. Pawns, please promote here."
The clubroom and the student council room are a bit of a distance apart. With Riser's side having ten more people, storming their base is going to be tough.
"The time limit is three hours. Now, let the Rating Game begin!" Grayfia-san announced the start of the match.
"President, I've brought the map." Kiba brought a map to Rias. The map of Kuoh Academy was divided into grids, representing the chessboard.
I see, they've set it up like a chess game.
Wearing her glasses, Rias began to plan. "It seems the gym will be a critical point."
The gym is located almost in the center of the field. Controlling it would give us an advantage in the attack, but losing it would put us at a significant disadvantage due to the number difference.
"Let's just destroy the gym." Rias's strategy makes sense. Given the disparity in numbers, either way, it puts us at a disadvantage. So why not remove it entirely?
"Now that we've decided on a direction, let's move on to the concrete strategy."
"First, Akeno. I'll leave the gym's destruction to you."
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it." Akeno-san's eyes gleamed with an S-like intensity.
"Next, Yuto. I need you to set traps in the forest."
"Understood." Kiba kneeled down on one knee, bowing respectfully.
"Issei, Koneko, the two of you will head from the gym to the student council room."
"Yes!" Koneko-chan and I answered in unison.
"Lastly, Asia. You'll stay here with me."
"Y-Yes!"
"Relax, Asia. There's no need to be so nervous," Rias comforted her gently.
"Now, go! Show them the power of the Gremory household!" With those words, we all dispersed and left the old school building.
Koneko-chan and I arrived at the gym. At that moment, Rias's voice came through our communication device.
'Issei, Koneko, can you hear me?'
"Yes, President."
'There are about four of Riser's servants in the gym. Show them what you're made of, no matter who they are!'
"Understood!" Koneko-chan and I entered the gym. Just as Rias had said, there were already four of Riser's servants waiting for us on the court.
Let's see... those four are...
"I am Riser-sama's Rook, Xuelan! I'll knock you out with my fists!" The woman in the Chinese dress, Xuelan, clenched her fists and took a fighting stance.
"I'm Riser-sama's Pawn, Mira. Don't underestimate me just because I'm a Pawn!" The girl with the staff, Mira, assumed a stance.
"We're Riser-sama's Pawns too, and we're twins!"
"The older sister Ile!"
"And the younger sister Nel!"
The twin girls, Ile and Nel, who looked no older than elementary school kids, introduced themselves cheerfully.
"Issei-senpai, you handle the three Pawns. I'll take on the Rook."
"Toujou Koneko, Rias Gremory-sama's Rook. Let's do this!" Koneko-chan said as she charged towards Xuelan.
"Well, if we're introducing ourselves, I guess I should too. I'm Hyoudou Issei, Rias Gremory-sama's Pawn... and the Red Dragon Emperor."
"The Red Dragon Emperor? What's that? Nel, do you know?"
"Nope, never heard of it. Mira?"
"I don't know either."
Huh... so they don't know. In that case...
"If you don't know, I'll teach you through this battle!" I raised my right fist.
"Well then, big brother, do you think you can beat our combo?" Ile and Nel pulled out... a chainsaw from their bag!?
"Alright, let's slice some meat up!" At their signal, the chainsaw roared to life!
"♪ Chop-chop! ♪ Chop-chop! ♪ Chop-chop! ♪ Chop-chop!"
Ile and Nel started swinging the chainsaw around, chasing after me!
"Stop waving that dangerous thing around!" I said.
Suddenly, a staff came flying at me from the side!
"Running won't save you!" Mira charged at me, swinging her staff wildly.
I dodged the staff and chainsaw like I was in The Matrix.
"You can't win if you keep running!" Mira shouted as she kept attacking.
"Yeah, you're right. Now it's time for my counterattack!"
I dodged their attacks, touching Mira, Ile, and Nel on their shoulders, backs, and sides as I moved.
"Ah! Where do you think you're touching?!"
"Big brother, you're a pervert!"
Then, out of nowhere...
Wham!
"Oof!"
"Kyaah!"
Xuelan was sent flying by Koneko-chan's attack and crashed into me.
Ouch... But now, small magic circles appeared on all four of them. Good, everything's in place!
"Take this! My finely-honed ultimate move!!"
"W-What!?"
"Clothes Destruction 'Dress Break'!"
"Dress Break!!"
Ripppppp! Riiiiiiiiippppppp
With a snap of my fingers, Mira, Ile, Nel, and Xuelan's clothes exploded into shreds, leaving nothing but scraps of fabric.
The four of them stood frozen in shock, unable to process what had just happened.
Now, let's take a look at their figures...
As expected, Ile and Nel were flat and smooth as a board. Lots of potential for future development though.
Mira's chest was just a bit fuller than the twins, but she was also smooth. Another one to keep an eye on.
And Xuelan... well, unlike the other three, she had a decent-sized breast, wearing lacy panties showing her v-line down there.
A beautiful C-cup bust and a perfectly shaped crotch, meaning she's a virgin? I've got that stored in my memory for sure!
"Kyaaaaaaaa!" Mira & Xuelan moaned.
"Iyaaaaaaaaaan!" then Ile & Nel followed.
Finally understanding what had happened, the four of them turned bright red, crouching down to cover themselves as they glared daggers at me.
"Stripping someone down to nothing is the quickest way to break their spirit without shedding any unnecessary blood! Hahaha!" I said out loud.
During our ten days of training, I'd secretly perfected my Dress Break technique, using Raynare and the other fallen angels as test subjects.
With this move, even my limited magic power can be used repeatedly!
"You're the worst!"
"Beast!"
"Pervert!"
"Enemy of women!"
Mira, Ile, Nel, and Xuelan all shouted insults at me. But so what? I've heard it all before! Being a pervert this is nothing.
"So, what's it going to be? Are you going to fight butt-naked? I'm totally up for it."
Their faces flushed with embarrassment as I said this, the four of them were too stunned to move.
Just then, Rias's voice came through the communicator.
"Issei, Koneko. Akeno's charge has been completed. Leave the gym immediately!"
At her command, Koneko-chan and I bolted towards the gym entrance.
"Hey, wait! Are you abandoning the gym!?" Xuelan tried to stop us, but we ignored her and kept running outside.
Then...
"Divine Punishment, El Thor!!"
Kaboom!
A massive lightning bolt, charged with Akeno's full power, engulfed the gym in an instant!
"Riser-sama's Pawns x3 and Rook x1, defeated." Grayfia's voice echoed with the announcement. That's four down!
"Thank you, Akeno-san."
"Issei-kun, Koneko-chan, don't worry about me. Head to the field right away."
Looking over at Akeno-san, I noticed her breathing heavily. It seems she used up a lot of magic power with that last attack.
"Let's go, Koneko-chan!" I called out to Koneko-chan, but...
"Stay away from me, pervy senpai, hentai senpai." Koneko-chan glared at me like I was filth.
Gagaaaan Fuck! My approval rating just keeps plummeting!
She moved ahead, trying to put some distance between us, when suddenly...
'Issei-kun, Koneko-chan, look out!!' Akeno-san's warning came just as…
BOOM!
An explosion erupted out of nowhere...
