(At Union Academy, some students are glad Galactron was defeated while others were pissed by seeing someone stealing their spotlight, someone they knew, someone they hated. The headmasters gave them an order to not try to mess with Anthony for a while, but a certain redhead has something in her mind.)

Rias: (in mind) There's only one way to stop Anthony... and I'll make sure to use it.

(Meanwhile at Anthony's house, he is seen eating with Beelzebub while Ninten is playing games with one of his girlfriends D.Va. Suddenly Lucifer comes in.)

Anthony: What's up?

Lucifer: Some fake devils are trying to break the barrier of our house.

Anthony: Describe them.

Lucifer: They're wearing some highschool uniforms, and a certain readhead is leading them.

(Anthony realizes who they are. Then he turns to Ninten.)

Anthony: Ninten, we've got company.

(Anthony leaves the mansion as he Lucifer realizes what her lover is about to do, and deactivates the barrier.)

(Outside Anthony's house, Rias is seen with her peerage as they see Anthony walking towards them along with Ninten.)

Rias: (smiles) Hello there, Anthony,

Rias: (smiles) Hello there, Anthony,

Anthony: (coldly) Hello, Rias.

Ninten: (in mind) More Fake Heroes to deal with...

Rias: I'm here to make you an offer you can't refuse, I want you to join my peerage as my pawn.

Anthony: (frowns) No thanks, I'm not interested.

Kiba: Geez...

(Rias looked surprised and annoyed by his rejection. She was not used to being turned down by anyone, especially by someone like him.)

Rias: Don't be foolish, Anthony. You have no idea what you're missing out on. By becoming my pawn, you will gain access to the vast resources and connections of the Gremory clan. You will also be able to increase your power and abilities by learning from me and my peerage. You will also have the honor of serving me, the most beautiful and noble Devil in existence.

Anthony: (snorts) I don't need any of that, I have everything I need right here.

Koneko: It's no use, buchou. He won't join us.

(Rias narrowed her eyes at him. She felt insulted and challenged by his attitude.)

Rias: Is that so? Then how about this? (seductively) If you join my peerage, I will also let you have me as your lover.

(Anthony looked at her with disgust and contempt. He was not shy or inexperienced. He was just selective and loyal. He had dated some girls, and they were even more beautiful and noble than Rias. He had also experienced romance and sex with them, some of whom were even more passionate and skilled than Rias. He also had a crush on Rena Linchen, his best friend, his confidant.She was the one of the few one who understood him, who supported him, who cared for him. He wished he could tell her how he felt about her, but he knew it was too late. He had left her behind when he decided to leave Union Academy, the prestigious school for the gifted and the elite that they both attended. He couldn't stand it anymore: the injustice, the cruelty, the oppression that the powerful inflicted on the powerless; the hypocrisy, the corruption, the lies that the administration and the teachers perpetuated; the apathy, the fear, the silence that the students displayed. He had tried to make a difference, to stand up for what was right, to protect those who needed it. But he was outnumbered, outmatched, and outcast. He had left her a letter, thanking her for their friendship, for their loyalty, for their love. He had apologized for leaving her behind, for causing her trouble, for breaking her heart. He had expressed his hopes for her future, for her happiness, for her freedom.)
