The Path to Supremacy

Peerage

It was the day after the high class promotion tests. The house of gremory were awaiting the results. Issei and his group were relatively relaxed, most of the gremory peerage were unaffected and un caring of what happened. The most nervous person in the entire ordeal was Rias.

She didnt want to lose Issei and believed that she could still mend her relationship with him over time if he stayed in her peerage for the right amount of time. However with his current rise in the ranks she would soon have no control or say in how he lived his life.

Also he would have certain political pull thanks to his record. He also did not have to worry about marriage contracts since he already had a high class devil for a girl friend with whom he would soon be doing the engagement ritual with.

Currently we find Rias pacing through her room trying to figure out what she would do when she was bought out of her musings when a magic circle appeared in her room. From the circle Sairaorg appeared dressed in his usual regal attire.

Looking at Rias he said "I am here with the results for your pawns results. Please call in your peerage." Rias only wordlessly nodded as she sent a message to the rest of her peerage members.

All of them except Issei appeared together in a single magic circle. Issei appeared in his own magic circle as soon as he stepped out his battle senses kicked in and he entered his dragon mode. As soon as he did he was forced to block a very strong haymaker from Sairaorg who smirked at Isseis fast reaction.

"Dont you think that is a little over enthusiastic for a simple introduction eh Sairaorg san?" Issei asked as he matched Sairaorgs smirk.

"Just putting a few things into perspective." Sairaorg said as he straightened up.

"As I said earlier I am here to announce Issei hyoudous result. I want to congratulate you on passing the high class promotion test with high colors. Please report to Maou Beezelbub for your evil pieces." Sairaorg continued.

"I see thank you for that I hope we get to spar in the future." Issei said as he shook sairaorgs hand in thanks before disappearing in a magic circle. As he was leaving he cast a side ways glance at Rias and saw a look of despair on her face.

Smirking to himself he decided that she deserved every bit of what she was feeling. Turning away he flashed away to Ajukas lab. Exiting the circle he saw that Sirzechs and Grayfia were waiting for him with smiles adorning their faces.

"Well done Issei kun. You have already been listed as a high class devil now let us go and get your evil pieces." Sirzechs said as he lead Issei through the rooms.

They finally found Ajuka who was waiting with a set of white chess pieces. "Alright you are here. I have created these pieces just for you. Channel your magic into them and they will be bonded. Also we need to lose the evil pieces in your body." Ajuke explained.

Issei nodded before channelling his magic into the pieces which glowed until a tinge of azure was added into the pure white. Soon the glow died down indicating that the ritual was complete. Issei then turned to Ajuka and said "So will the removal of the evil pieces effect my survival and demonic energy or no?"

"Evil pieces are designed so that they leak the demonic energy they possess into their host. I will only speed up that process from your pieces. Once all the energy has been absorbed the pieces will be ejected on their own making you a free devil." Ajuka explained.
