The next day.
A remote forest in northeastern Japan, within a Gremory family castle.
Rias's peerage of four, along with Hiro and Asia-both in sportswear-gathered by the artificial pond in the villa area.
"Rias, did you get the result of what I asked yesterday?"
Hiro's question made Rias nod, a slightly smug look on her face.
"According to the message Grayfia sent, Riser has agreed to let you participate in the Rating Game as a 'human.' He specifically said it's okay to bring Asia along."
Of course, Riser's original words probably included insulting remarks about Asia. Even if Rias didn't mention it, Hiro understood. Her statement was just a selective modification.
"Bring Asia along?"
Hiro glanced at the blonde girl nearby, eyes filled with hope, and thought for a moment.
"Then let's bring her. Having a healer in a team battle will put people... no, devils at ease."
As for crashing in the Rating Game?
Even without Serafall's magic, the Longinus without Ddraig's soul, capable of freely activating Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive-the Boosted Gear-would be enough to face most Maou. A mere high-class devil was nothing to worry about.
Even if Riser was a pure-blooded devil and the only one capable of producing the healing holy medicine "Phoenix Tears," he couldn't bring several Maou as temporary servants, right?
"Yes! I'll do my best!"
Asia clenched her right fist, a small smile of excitement on her face.
Hiro couldn't help but find her reaction amusing. She was really easy to satisfy...
"Alright. Even with Asia and Hiro's help, you can't rely entirely on them. As my peerage, you need to grow stronger in these nine days, understand?"
"Yes! President!" X3
Rias nodded with satisfaction at the performance of her three servants.
"Then, the next arrangements-"
Hiro's voice interrupted.
"How about I take charge of Koneko-chan and Kiba's training?"
Rias blinked, slightly puzzled.
"You? Didn't you say you don't know swordsmanship or martial arts?"
Hmm...
He didn't. He hadn't before, and he still didn't now.
Recalling the rewards he had obtained from previous luck extractions, Hiro internally retorted.
"I don't know swordsmanship or martial arts, but for Koneko and Kiba, the focus right now isn't technique-it's physical fitness, strength, magic power, and the like. And I..."
He stretched his right hand toward Kiba Yuuto, converting his magic into intangible pressure and gravity, instantly enveloping Kiba's body.
Of course, this was only about 2-3 times gravity-far weaker than when he had suppressed all of Riser's peerage-and the magic consumption was negligible.
"Just so happens I can provide a suitable training field. With my total magic and the nature of my power, I can maintain two gravity fields for over twelve hours."
Hiro's exaggerated magic power was well known, but... the "special nature" of it? Rias pondered, glancing at Kiba, sweat streaking his cheeks.
"Ara ara, such enviable magic power~~"
Akeno gently stroked her cheek, eyes narrowing, unreadable as always.
Koneko approached Kiba and reached out, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Why two?"
Hearing Koneko's question, Hiro, Rias, Akeno, and even Kiba in the gravity field gradually exchanged strange looks.
"So... Koneko-chan is this open?"
Looking down at her bright yellow eyes, slightly confused, he spoke, speechless.
"Hmm?"
Koneko tilted her head, bewildered.
Is she clueless... or pretending?
Rias walked to Koneko's side with a wry smile.
"In any case, you're a girl in your prime. In physical training, sweat is inevitable. Even in sportswear, training with Yuuto can be... a bit inappropriate."
By the time Rias finished, Koneko had already realized her mistake.
A slight blush colored her delicate face-embarrassment or annoyance, it was unclear.
"Hmm." Koneko nodded silently.
"My words end here. However, Nanamiya-kun, could you add a little more pressure for me? At this level, I'll adapt quickly."
Kiba, within the gravity field, requested.
"Of course, no problem."
Hiro's magic flowed outward, creating a "gravity belt" extending twenty meters forward from Kiba's current position.
"From your current spot, every meter you advance, gravity increases by roughly one (+1 each meter). Reach the end, then come find me."
Pointing toward the villa gate, he explained calmly.
"Reach the end? Nanamiya-kun thinks too highly of me~"
Kiba's expression was slightly bitter.
As a knight, his physical fitness was quite different from Koneko, the rook. He knew it himself.
In the end, even if someone between him and Koneko could reach the end, it would likely be Koneko, not him.
