The rule of two (Starwars x high school dxd)

Chapter 11: Test Your Might

The final day of training was just about to come to a close. Each and everyone of the trainees had grown greatly in their own way. Issei had gathered everyone to the center of the grounds, for a final test.

Issei: Everyone! The final day is here! Each of you have grown fantastically, and I am very proud of your efforts! I'm sure my comrades who trained you are proud too. For this 10th day, I present one final test! We will see just how far you all have gotten in this short time!

He pauses, glancing at Rias and her peerage. Just by looking at them, you could barely recognize who they are now.

Issei: You will be facing me, in an all out battle!

Upon hearing that, they instantly grew nervous. They knew for sure they no chance of pulling off a victory against the most powerful sith in their long history of stupidity power beings.

Issei: Now, before you get discouraged, I will be giving you a handy cap. Rias, you will receive half an hour of prep time. You may strike up any plan you want, lay as many traps as you want, and take advantage of any possible weaknesses in any way you see fit. Along with that, I will not be using my lightsaber, or any force abilities.

He saw them breath sighs of relief. The handy caps he gave them were larger than they expected. However, he had one more thing to say before the test began.

Issei: Oh, but one more thing. Known sith abilities are not the only thing I have at my disposal. Just keep that in mind.

He smiles a very devious smile, bringing back everyone's nerves. But it also brought confusion, no one other than the sith knew what he was talking about. Rias thought to herself that she'll have to change up her plans to compensate for that.

They all go into a room where they can plan, but Matsuda feels a hand on his shoulder.

Issei: You will sit this one out apprentice.

Matsuda: Huh? Why am I not fighting with them?

Rias: I have to ask the same question, why doesn't my whole peerage participate in the test?

Issei: I have something else in mind for him alone. Have faith that I know what I'm doing.

Rias: Well alright, I trust you Issei.

Issei: Thank you. Remember that your thirty minutes start the moment everyone is in the home. I wouldn't want to waist even a second. Remember, do not hold back. I want you all to fight to kill, you will not succeed. But you should still try.

Rias nods in agreement.

Rias: Come on everyone, let's not keep our opponent waiting.

Issei smiles again, knowing his comrades did well with training. He then sits Matsuda in a small pavilion next to the house to talk while he was waiting.

Issei: You may not be participating, but you can still learn. Observe the battle to see what they are capable of, and how your abilities can work with theirs. While you do so, listen to our sith comrades if they are trying to point something out to you. They will see things you can't quite yet.

Matsuda: Ok, if you say so.

Issei sits back in his chair and folds his hands behind his head.

Issei: As for right now, kick up your feet and relax. This is the first time you've been able to in over a week.

Matsuda follows his lead to wait out the time limit.

Time Skip

Issei opens his eyes and sits up in his chair, before cracking his neck and getting up from his comfortable position. Matsuda hears his movement and sits up as well.
