Keiji Hiryu was just your average "delinquent" trying to get through high school life at Kuoh Academy, solving his problems as best as his fists and temper could let him.
That is, until Rias Gremory came to him with an enticing offer to solve his pr...
Riding through the Sitri Territory were Keiji, Valerie, Rias and Sona; while Rias technically unneeded, it was a matter with family, so Sona allowed her to join them on the trip.
"So why are we going to your family's territory if Sairaorg isn't a Sitri, but a Bael?" Keiji asked.
Sona flicked her glasses. "Not to brag but the best hospital's usually preside in the Sitri domain. And while the request came from Sairaorg, it was a butler of his family who gave me the details after Serafall shared how you managed to wake up Ingvild."
Lounging around in minor boredom, Rias decided it was best to enlighten Keiji on Sairaorg and his mother's tragic past. She unveiled about her cousin being deemed a failure for not inheriting the signature Power of Destruction, how his mother was sick but casted aside, leading Sairaorg to grip his own future with his hands and gain strength. Her cousin being strong enough to even win back the title of heir by beating his stepbrother after intense training, as well as the strongest out of the young devils.
Keiji smiled fondly at hearing Rias talk so proudly of her cousin, and Keiji couldn't blame her. A feeling of brotherhood and respect swelled in the Red Dragon Emperor for Sairaorg not being fortunate enough in life but not letting it hold him down.

"This way," the butler spoke, bowing before the miracle workers and guiding them to the room of Misla Bael. Similar to Venelana, she had brown hair but it was more smooth-looking. Her hairstyle was parted, with more strands towards the left than the right. "Lady Bael has been ill for quite some time. I beg of your aid."

"It's good to see you, Rias," Sairaorg, then turning to the others and greeting them as well. "Thank you for taking your time to come. I hope I'm not asking for the impossible, but if there is a small hope you can help my mother recover, then I'm willing to pay anything!"
Keiji walked up to Sairaorg, laying a hand on his broad shoulders. "There's no need for payment for this; it's for your family. Just make sure that you do your best at the upcoming Rating Game!" Keiji told him with a toothy grin.
Sairaorg's facial features softened in surprise at the act of kindness. They eventually hardened into a confident smile back. "I didn't plan regardless!"
Equipping the Boosted Gear, Keiji called to Valerie. "Alright, let's do this. I'll Boost you for support."
Valerie nodded as she summoned the power of the Sephiroth Graal and the green glow of the Boosted Gear bounced about in the room as Sairaorg held his breath and the butler was finding it hard not to close his eyes and pray.
'Is it not working?' Rias thought, nervously. 'It's been some time.'
While the fear of failure was hanging, a golden glow began to emanate throughout the atmosphere as the missing piece of the Sephiroth Graal resonating from within him and causing the 'circle' to complete.
