Fate DxD

Chapter 83

As midnight approached, all the club members gathered in the old school building. We wait patiently, all wearing the school uniform except for Asia and me, who's wearing a sports outfit.

Kiba is equipped with some armor on his body and gauntlets on his hands. Koneko is sitting on a chair, reading a book. She has put martial arts gloves on her hands.

as for our two seniors, they are quietly drinking tea with elegance, as I expected, always so calm...

Asia is sitting on a chair and I'm sitting next to her on the floor, warming up my magic circuits, it's the only thing to do that calms me down after all.

Ten minutes before the start of the match, a magic circle opens and Grayfia appears.

"There's only ten minutes left until the game, is everyone ready?" She asks.

I stop and we all stand up after Grayfia confirms us.

"When it's time to fight, you'll be teleported to the battlefield via this magic circle. The location is in a different dimension used for battles. You'll be able to fight with all your might. It's a disposable space, so fight with everything you've got." Grayfia explains.

(Impressive, the Devils can do things like that?)

"Do you know what that means, partner? No more excuses, use my powers to the fullest."

(Yeah, I'll get right on that.)

Indeed, if you're fighting somewhere on earth or with the Devils, you have to avoid destruction as much as possible, whereas in a pocket dimension, we can have a field day.

"This Rating Game will also be watched by members of both households, from different locations, via broadcast." Grayfia adds.

(Seriously, are they going to look at us? It must be fun for them... Good, they should look at us...)

"That's right, we're going to show them that this burnt bird is worthless!"

"Maou Lucifer-sama will also be watching this battle, please don't forget that." Grayfia continues.

(The big boss will also be watching... Hm? Rias?)

When I turn my head towards her, I can see that she has a shocked look on her face, which surprises me.

"Big brother is...? I see... Big brother will be there too." She sighs.

(What? Rias' big brother is the Maou?)

I'm confused and shocked in my turn, I understand much better now the importance of this match and this marriage, it was much more important than I imagined ...

"Hey Kiba, why is her brother called Lucifer, shouldn't it be Gremory?" I whisper to Kiba.

"Well, during the last Great War, the Maou-samas were in critical condition and died a long time ago. But there would be no Devil if there were no Maou-sama. That's why the Devils decided to keep the Maou names and let them be inherited by those with enormous power. So the current four Grand Maou are Ultimate-class Devils who are the successors to the first generations of Maou who inherited their names." He explains.

"So if I understand correctly, names like Lucifer and Beelzebub are more positional names than anything else." I summarize.

"That's right, but to tell you the truth, of the three factions, The Devils have the least power. We're in a difficult position right now, but we're still safe because the current Maou-samas have powers that equal the previous Maou-samas."
