Lucky Reincarnation (DxD)

Ch 102 - Their Game (1)

Haru was seated with the rest. In a large arena in the most VVIP area. Usually only the Satans would be allowed to seat in such an area. But it just so happens Sirzechs was Harus wife. Seated in the area with everyone else. All sat around him. With the exception of Kuroka who thought it would be more comfortable sat in Harus lap.

Haru: I have the strangest feeling.

Kuroka: What is it?

Haru: I felt like a proud father with Rias for a moment.

Grayfia: Considering your relationship, very strange. But it's not unusual. She grown a lot stronger around you and so has everyone else.

Sirzechs: YEAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH HER KICK THEIR ASSES!

Haru looked at Sirzechs practically jumping out of her seat to cheer on her sister despite being a Satan and supposed to be remaining a neutral party. Haru looking down at Rias standing with her peerage, a confidence emanating from all of them. Haru couldn't help but smile.

Haru: {Do well my little crimson princess.}

Scene change

Rias was in her school uniform with the rest of her peerage. All besides Rossweisse. Her peerage was missing a few people though. Her Rooks were Koneko and Rossweisse, her Queen was Akeno, her knight was Kiba, and her bishops were Asia and Gasper. Compared to the original plot, she was missing Issei and Xenovia who was sat with Haru. Xenovia had only been training often with their peerage and was becoming great friends with all of them. She wasn't apart of the peerage.

Rias sitting down with them as they were all listening to the commentary. Special guests and observers. Azazels face plastered on the big screen. The rules being explained as Rias walked up to an alter with a single die. A six sided die that would determine the total number of peerage members that could be selected for that rounds fight. The total would be summed of both kings dies and it was explained that if the value was 8, then peerage members could be selected of their piece value. Pawns a value of 1, knights and bishops a value of 3, rooks a value of 5, the queen a value of 9. A piece couldn't be used continuously and once defeated would be out.

Then the kings Sairaorg and Rias were assigned their own values. Sairaorg a 12 and Rias an 8.

Lastly, there were the Phoenix tears. Each team had one to use a defeated member again.

Those were the rules announced of their rating again. Both Rias and Sairaorg stood at their alters looking at each other.

Announcer: Now, the games are about to begin! Sairaorg Baels Team, Rias Gremorys team, the Rating Games for both teams... is now open!

The audience of thousands in the stadium cheered and likely millions around the underworld and in other worlds. Broadcasted live to the supernatural.

Announcer: Now shall we begin the first match. Kings, please take the dice and hold it.

Sairaorg and Rias took their die and held them in their hand above their alters. Waiting for the words that would allow them to start.

Announcer: Throw!

The die were dropped in an instant as they fell and rattled on the golden metal plate of the alter. The purple edged die rolling around leaving fate to decide. Rias die landing on 2 and Sairaorg on 1.

Announcer: Rias has rolled a 2, Sairaorg has rolled a 1 for a total of 3. Due to Sairaorgs pawns being of high value and Rias having no pawns. Only Knights and Bishops will be allowed. Now who shall be the first chosen of each peerage?

Barriers fell over the peerages as they only had a few minutes to decide. Rias looking at her peerage with a smile. Not visible on screen as the mouths were blocked so no one could read her lips. But Haru could tell, he could see through the barriers.

Rias: I believe it was you Kiba who wanted to show Haru what you could do.

Kiba: Previously I've only ever seen him fight and practice close combat arts. Even you didn't know he knew the sword. But after that display he showed with the Unholy Angels. I have to show him what I learned from it. So yes.

Kiba said walking up to his position as everyone was smiling. Even Haru who could hear them through the barrier.

Rias: Your confident you can win.

Kiba: Losing was never an option.

Kiba said vanishing in a green magic circle as for the first time in thousands of years, Haru was fan boying out. While also having the strange feelings of a proud father and teacher.

Scene change

Kiba appeared in a silver skied grassland. Grass plains as far as the eyes could see with his opponent standing in front of him. Maybe it was fate, but the opponent wasn't really standing. In full plated armour riding on an armoured horse. A large metal joust as a weapon.

???: I am the knight piece of Lord Sairaorg. Beluka Furcas. My partner, my passion, Altobraus feet have attained Godspeed. Mister Kiba, I would like to commence open battle with you.

Kiba: Same here and I hope it will be quite a display.

Announcer: Now let the battle commence!

Kiba took a breath as a weapon from his Sword Birth scared gear appeared in hand. A wooden kendo sword.

Beluka: Do you take our duel so lightly?

Kiba: No. But with my normal swords, I'm unlikely to break through your armour without a great deal of effort. But with this, something I've trained with for years, a weapon I know inside and out. One strike is all I need.

Kiba said holding his kendo staff. It was a weapon he would train with for years instead of using his scared gear. So when he formed it with his scared gear, it was stronger. Like his other swords it wouldn't falter. This was a weapon that he had in his mind even in his sleep. During training his focus never broke nor faltered. The air was still as it was a stare down. Until the horse neighed out and charged. So fast that regular demons would find it impossible to see him with their eyes. Kiba also disappeared until there was one clash that made the air explode. A single clash and disappearance. But Beluka wasn't on his horse anymore. His amour shattered as he was sent flying coughing up blood.

Kiba didn't stop when he felt a hard and difficult surface to cut. He pushed through. Harder and stronger and didn't falter. No balance breaker was needed. Only a strong base. Sheer power.

Kiba: Thank you for the duel.

The crowd cheered out looking at Kiba on the big screen. Maybe he was acting cool, maybe he was just being nice, but Haru could feel the Kiba fan clubs growing with that one attack defeat. Though he couldn't help but feel so proud.

Announcer: Sairaorgs knight is knocked out! The first victory goes to the Gremory peerage! Now then, what will the second round bring?

Everyone roared out in expectation. Her peerage had gotten stronger. All of them stronger to try and catch up to someone that seemed all powerful.
