Riser and Issei might've started on the wrong foot, but they eventually became good friends after reconciling. That's why Issei pities the version of Riser on the screen.

Their Riser had real trauma after dealing with the Balanace Breaker. Issei can't even imagine how much worse it'd be to deal with Kumagawa instead, who makes both Ddraig and Albion shake in fear through his presence alone.

Red:Things start to become interesting, don't they. In your timeline, the Gremory Peerage had a training period as per agreement. However, this time they got a little helping hand.

Rias:...I am officialy afraid.

Koneko:Ditto.

The ORC were given a ultimatum. Win the Rating Game or have Rias married off. Of course Riser's perrage was much more experienced and while the only one they can not to be particualary strong was Yubelluna, Riser himself was very strong compared to a lot of high-class devils, so they needed to train.

Kumagawa and his entourage, his wife included, came to help them to actually train. Although Issei had a vague feeling that they only wanted to torture them for negligence of their job as oversees.

While thinking about the circumstances Kumagawa can't stop comparing Riser with Oudo. Of course there were differences like their powers and their own arrogances, he likes to think Riser is cocky while Oudo condenscensing. There's also the fact he thinks Riser wasn't given room to live by himself and was dependent on his family, while Oudo ran away as a kid and did really well on the streets.

Issei:For real? At how groomed that cameo guy was I thought for sure he was spoiled.

Michael:Appearences can often be trecherous.

Ophis:Indeed. Take me, or even the very man we are reacting to, as an example. Would you caregorize us as powerful or frightening from our appearences?

Issei:Yeah...I feel like this is a mistake lots of people do.

Although arrogant, it wasn't without a reason. Riser's regeneration, as well as his pyrokinesis and aerokinesis, was something to be cautious of. He also needs to praise him that, unlike Rias, he isn't overly reliant on his magic to fight and can actually engage in hand to hand combat with a pretty well trained body.

Of course, he only compares him with other devils out there because if he was to compare him with abnormals. While his regeneration is powerful it depends on his reserve of demonic energy and can't heal if he's hit by holy means, which would make his regeneration inferior to the likes of Noro. His control over air and fire is all well, but Najimi governs them...litteraly. And while he has good hand to hand combat skills, he would be easily dispached in that category by him, Medaka, Zenkichi, Shigusa, Najimi, Kudo...alright, pretty much every abnormal.

Kuroka:Nyah? So all abnormals are fighters?

Vali:Interesting...

Red:Not exactly. Unlike you, abnormals don't exagerate with fighting. Most of them don't care about such things and is just something they pick up or train as a past time because they see it as advantageous. That said, a natural trait of abnormals is superhuman physiology, so most of them are combat types. Although there are those that are much more trickier to deal with.

Issei thinks this is a strong contrast to them. While Vali became strong to challenge everyone and he became strong because of circumstances and for his dream, these guys are strong just because. Not gonna lie, it made him feel a little underwhelmed.

Looking at the side he saw that Rias and her perrage finnaly arrived by climbing the mountain. Rias looked at her perrage with a determined look.
