Looking at everyone in the room, Abel sat down between his elder brother and Serafall.
Tony, on the other hand, sat next to Nathan.
"Otouto, are you confident about tomorrow's Rating Game?"
"Of course, it's just Diodora."
Facing the inquiry, Abel expressed extreme confidence.
Ajuka and Serafall both smiled at his words.
Indeed, not many people could defeat Abel now.
At this moment, the projection started, and the Rating Game officially began.
Within the Rating Game's alternate dimension.
As both sides' members were ready, the arena began to change, and then a scene of ice and snow appeared.
Soon after, Rias and Riser's teams entered.
Looking at the snowy landscape, all members of both sides shivered.
After all, it was truly cold.
"President, will it be the same as last time?"
Issei exhaled a puff of white mist, his eyes filled with excitement.
Now, he only had the desire to conquer Riser.
"Ara ara~ It seems Hyodo is very confident."
"Of course! After all, I've been reborn!!"
Issei clenched his fists, smiling as he continued, "This time, I'll definitely beat Riser down."
Listening to Issei's words, Rias smiled.
"Since Issei said so, what do you all think?"
Kiba Yuto's gaze was on Issei, "I'm fine with anything."
Toujou Koneko had activated her cat ear mode, "President, let's go home after the fight, it's a bit cold now."
Xenovia, holding her greatsword, asked, "Just beating everyone on the other side is enough, right?"
"Of course, the sooner we finish, the sooner it ends."
"Seconded!"
"Exactly."
Gaspar, Valerie, and Rossweisse said in unison.
"In that case, let's go!"
Rias said, looking in Riser's direction, "They should be about the same as us."
Meanwhile, at Riser's location.
"Phew~ This random map draw is really a bit cold."
Riser exhaled a puff of white mist, complaining.
At this moment, "Bomb Queen" Yubelluna asked, "Master, what are you planning to do this time?"
"Of course, it's the same as last time. I can feel Issei's enthusiasm even from here."
Riser said, looking into the distance and continuing, "However, Rias has an extra Knight and Rook this time, so it might be very difficult. There's a high possibility we'll lose."
Listening to Riser's words, his other Servants, though not poor, implicitly agreed.
Rias and her team's training was personally overseen by the Devil Kings.
Currently... the chances of winning were not high.
Riser looked at his Servants and smiled, "Since we know the inevitable outcome of losing, we still have to fight! Everyone, let me see the results of your training!!"
"Then... all push mid lane!!"
"Yes! Master!!"
Watching the aura of both sides on the field, everyone in the viewing room smiled.
Young people, they just have to fight hard.
"Hahaha, how exciting!! I even want to go play!"
"Ahem, watch carefully, no talking."
"Understood, Cult Leader."
At this moment, should it be said that Riser and Rias were in sync, or that Riser and Issei were in sync?
In any case.
Both sides advanced towards the middle, just as they did in their first Rating Game.
Soon, the two met.
"Riser!!!"
"Issei!!!"
"Come on!!" X2
Saying that, Issei rushed towards Riser; one could say it was a mutual rush.
It was supposed to be a king-versus-king scenario.
But now it was the strongest Pawn challenging the King.
However, things always happen on the way.
"Red Dragon Emperor!!!"
Riser's Pawn, Mira, once again rushed forward with her staff.
But Issei was not interested in her.
"Yuto!!!"
"Leave it to me."
Kiba Yuto quickly ran ahead of Issei, charging towards Mira.
His "Holy Demonic Sword" appeared in his hand.
The figures intersected, then paused.
Mira's expression was surprised, then she stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.
[Riser Phoenix's Pawn eliminated!]
Well, Miss Mira was once again taken down first.
At this moment, Issei and Riser had already met.
Issei raised his hand, and then a flash of light passed.
"Balance Breaker!"
With the activation of his Balance Breaker, the Boosted Gear appeared on his hand, and he threw a punch.
"Riser!!!"
Riser, with flames on both fists, returned the favor.
"Issei!!!"
Both simultaneously punched each other in the face.
At this moment, the battle for honor began!!
"Ara ara, how exciting, Hyodo-kun. In that case, I should go too."
Akeno said, looking at Yubelluna on the opposite side.
The two Queens met eyes again.
The two slowly ascended, facing each other.
"Even if I lose, I'll take one down!"
"Ara ara~ Then I wish you success."
At this moment, electric light and explosion magic erupted simultaneously.
"Since it's started, everyone go find your prey."
"Yes! President."
As Rias finished speaking, the others all left, and Rias felt there was no need for her to act.
Toujou Koneko and Rossweisse looked at Riser's Rooks, Isabella and Sheran.
The battle between the two Rooks immediately began.
Toujou Koneko's cat ear form unfolded, and just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Rossweisse.
"Koneko, leave this battle to me. After all, this is my first battle as a devil."
Toujou Koneko looked at Rossweisse, hesitated for a moment, then silently stepped back, turned around, and walked towards Riser's other Pawns.
Rossweisse said to Toujou Koneko, "Koneko, thanks! I'll buy you a game console when we get back to the human world."
Toujou Koneko didn't say anything on the way.
But her twitching ears and tail betrayed her inner feelings.
At this moment, Rossweisse directly changed into her Valkyrie attire.
She walked step by step towards Isabella and Sheran.
Seeing themselves underestimated by the opponent, Isabella and Sheran's expressions were a bit grim.
They knew they would lose, but they shouldn't be insulted like this!
"Don't underestimate us!!!"
"Exactly! We're not who we used to be!!!"
As their words fell, these two Rooks directly charged towards Rossweisse.
After dealing with one of Riser's Pawns, Kiba prepared to go see his old friends, Coriana and Shiris, again.
When he found the two, they were already being suppressed by Xenovia, who wielded the Holy Sword durandal.
Shiris and Coriana had unspeakable difficulties.
Especially Shiris.
They both used heavy swords, so why was the difference so great?
"Xenovia, do you need help?"
"Oh, Kiba. No, you go clear out the Pawns."
"Alright, be careful yourself."
Saying that, Kiba walked in Toujou Koneko's direction.
After all, if he was a step too late, there would be no more kills.
As for the supporters of both sides?
Gaspar looked at the battlefield, suddenly realizing he wasn't needed, and returned to Rias's side.
As for Valerie.
In a dark little corner.
Valerie stroked her South American-style little head and whispered, "Don't move around~ Just surrender after the fight is over."
