"The first place the two camps will move to is the [main formation]. Rias-sama's main formation is located on the east side of the second floor, and Sona-sama's [main formation] is located on the west side of the first floor. [Soldier] If you want to [upgrade] , please rush to the opponent's [main formation]." Gurefia's voice sounded on the radio.

"No wonder, it looks so familiar." Ito Cheng said suddenly.

The so-called shopping mall is actually a comprehensive department store, which has everything. Everything you need in life, whether it is a pet store, a game center, a restaurant, a bookstore, a drug store, etc., it can be said that it is a shopping mall. In this building, you don’t have to worry about spending money.

"This competition has special regulations. The information has been sent to each camp, please confirm. As a recovery item, [Tears of Phoenix] will be distributed to each team. Also, the freezing time of the battle is Thirty minutes. During this period, both sides are prohibited from contact with their opponents. The start of the game is scheduled for thirty minutes," Gulefia continued on the broadcast.

At the same time, maids walked into the hall one after another, delivering detailed information on additional rules related to the game into the hands of each spectator.

Ito Cheng took the information and looked down.

"The restrictions are really big." Ito Cheng sighed after roughly browsing the additional rules.

There are two additional rules. One is [Do not destroy the shopping mall used as a battle venue]. The second is [It is forbidden to use Gaspar Verardi’s artifact]! There is nothing much to say about the first one. It is to suppress large-scale magic attacks and to turn the game into a detailed battle scene to test the strategies of both sides. The second rule is more targeted. It just blocks Rias's hand. However, the reason is very clear. Because the control of Gaspar's artifact is not stable and can easily hurt himself, so it is for protection. The purpose prohibits him from activating the artifact.

But in general, both rules are not very favorable to Rias's side. After all, the holy sword Durandal in Xenovia's hands is what he is best at. It is to send out a sacred impact. Inflicts large-scale damage to the surrounding area...

Then Ito Cheng raised his head and looked at the picture on the screen.

On the screen, Rias briefly discussed the arrangements with her family members and divided them into four teams. One team was Koneko herself. Alone on the second floor. Frontal assault. The first team consists of Yuuto Kiba and Xenovia. Go to the parking lot on the first floor of the mall. The first team is Gaspar, who uses vampire abilities to transform into a large number of bats, flying around the mall to collect intelligence. The remaining team consisted of Rias and Akeno. Stay in the formation for the time being and wait for the game to start before moving.

In contrast, Shitori Sona, Rias' opponent, also made corresponding arrangements based on the information in his hand.

For example, Shiro Samoto and Riko Imura, a little girl with twin tails, went to the second floor.

For example, the queen - Shinra Tsubaki and the chariot - Yuryoshisha and the knight - Gourmet go to the underground parking lot.

For example, the remaining two family members did nothing but wander around the mall.

…

In this way, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye without the two parties knowing each other.

"Time's up. Also, this game will take the form of a short-term decisive battle, with a time limit of three hours. So, the game begins now." Gurefiya's voice came out on the radio at the right time.

"It's very cool." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"I hope Rias can win." Sirzechs said beside him.

"Victory belongs to my Sona-chan." At this moment, accompanied by a strange voice, another demon king - Serafall Leviathan came to several people and said.

"Is this the current [Sekiryuutei]?" Next to Serafall, an old man dressed like a Muslim looked at Ito Cheng up and down and said.

Next to him, there was a silver-haired girl wearing a skirt and armor, looking at Ito Cheng with a slightly curious expression.

"Here, let me introduce you. This bastard-looking old man is the leader of Valhalla from the northern countryside, Odin." Azazel introduced in a bad tone.

"Bad boy of fallen angels, you are slandering me." Odin said dissatisfied.

"Then don't do anything obscene." Azazel retorted unceremoniously.

"Hmph." Odin snorted and looked at Ito Cheng again.

"You have a strange smell on your body." After a moment, Odin said with a flash of light in his only remaining eye.

Naturally, the taste he was talking about here was not a real taste, but something else that Odin valued.

"Really? There's probably something wrong with your nose." Ito Cheng, who also understood this, raised his eyebrows and retorted without any stage fright.

"Really? Probably." Odin looked at Ito Cheng seriously again and chuckled.

The two of them immediately ignored the topic and turned to focus on watching the rating game being played on the screen.

Next to them, Sajax and Azazel looked at each other without saying anything, and silently paid attention to the ongoing game.

"One of Rias Gremory-sama's [monks] is leaving." At this moment, Grafia's announcement came from the radio.

The [Monk] who was dismissed was Gaspar. Under the deliberate guidance of Shitori Sona's two wandering relatives, Gaspar, who transformed into a bat, was led to the food area. Then, due to the large number of bat clones that gathered, he returned to his human body and was suffocated by the smell of garlic that filled the food area. Fainted and left the battlefield.

"Little trick." Odin said with disdain.

"Being able to make reasonable use of the advantages of the field and find ways to restrain your opponents is also smart." Azazel chuckled.

At the same time, Koneko on the second floor and Yuto Kiba and Xenovia in the parking lot on the first floor also met their opponents, Shiro Sagimoto and Riko Immura respectively. As well as Shinra Tsubaki, Yura Yisha and Tsunbarara.

Then the screen showing the scene on the second floor where the kitten was located flashed and suddenly turned into a blazing white. But then it returned to normal, and the scene on the second floor was remapped.

At this time, I saw that the kitten with cat ears on its head and a cat tail behind it had entered the Nekomata transformation, and its eyes were slightly closed with its senjutsu ability turned on, and it attacked the little girl with twin pony tails named Immuraruruko. Resisted vigorously. At the same time, a light blue energy beam was connected between her and Shirou Samotomoto, who had an artifact in his hand not far away - the Black Dragon Veins. The power of Shirou Samotoshiro's artifact was extracted from his body.

But this situation soon changed. Seeing that under the frequent counterattacks of the kitten who had regained his vision, Imuraruruko's body soon began to shake, and his eyes were in a trance. He looked as if he was psychotic.

Take this opportunity. Koneko instantly struck his fists with a faint white mist on Ryuuko Imura's chest.

"boom!"

Amidst the muffled sound, Ryuuko Renmura fell to his knees on the ground as expected.

"Immortal magic." Azazel sighed.

"Good teaching." Ito said to Tashiro Kuroka next to him.

"One of Lord Cana Siddi's [soldiers] is leaving." At the right time, Gurefiya's announcement came from the radio.

then. The kitten in the picture turns around. He rushed towards Shirou Shigen.

Unwilling to sit still and wait for death, a ball of magic power gathered in his hand. It turned into a magic bullet and hit the kitten.

While walking, the kitten's figure flashed. Suddenly, it turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the front of the magic bullet. It appeared in front of Shai and struck out the fists wrapped in pale white mist.

"boom!"

In an instant, Sagi's body was thrown backward.

Compared to Immuraruko, who possesses a melee weapon, Saji's melee ability can be said to be weak. It is no match for Koneko who specializes in fists and kicks. So after a while, Gurefia's The announcement rang in everyone's ears again.

"One of Mr. Cangna's [soldiers], please leave."

Then the kitten turned around and moved towards the enemy's main formation.

On the other side, there is the parking lot on the first floor.

After a short conversation, the five people on both sides immediately started fighting.

One of the more worth mentioning is that the weapon used by Xenovia at this time is not her holy sword Durandal, but the 'bribe' that Michael gave to Ito Cheng in the name of a gift - Aka Sloan, as for the reason why it was acquired by Jenova, it was because of some shortcomings of the Holy Sword Durandal, so after Azazel, as the instructor of the Supernatural Research Society, assigned training tasks to everyone, He borrowed the dragon-slaying holy sword Ascalon from Ito Cheng and gave it to Xenovia to familiarize himself with.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Then it suddenly stopped, and Xenovia and Kiba Yuto exchanged their opponents.

Then the battle between the two sides started again.

But soon, unexpected changes occurred. Under Xenovia's attack, the huge decorative mirror that suddenly appeared in front of Shinra Chunji suddenly shattered. Then Xenovia spat out a mouthful of blood with a distressed look on her face and fell to the ground.

"That is... the artifact [Mirror of Memories]." Azazel sighed.

The Mirror of Memories is an artifact that, when destroyed, can return the incoming attack to the opponent in multiples. In addition, when it is intact, it can be used to summon aliens from other spaces as a means of attack. It's a very powerful artifact.

Then, new changes appeared in the picture.

After Jenova came to the end, Kiba Yuto, who showed anger on his face, shouted fiercely and used the space specially opened for him by Jenova to store the Holy Sword Durandal. The divine aura, combined with his artifact [Devil Sword Creation], created a large number of holy demon swords with the breath of Durandal's holy sword, which stood on the ground of the parking lot like rain.

"One [chariot] and one [knight] of Master Cang Na. Siddi are leaving."

"One of Rias-sama's [knights] is withdrawing." In conjunction with Kiba Yuto's attack, Gurefiya's announcement came from the radio.

After completing their respective battles, Koneko, Kiba Yuuto, Rias and Akeno, who had not moved much, walked towards the main formation of Shitori Sona and others.

After a moment, everyone gathered together, and then Kiba Yuuto waved the Holy Demonic Sword in his hand to cut off the thin blue energy thread that was still connected to the kitten even though the original owner had withdrawn.

However, despite this, such a long extraction still made the kitten dizzy and his face turned pale, so his legs soon softened and he sat on the ground. He lay down, barely maintaining consciousness and not passing out. But it is absolutely impossible to fight.

Afterwards, Rias and Shitori Sona chatted for a while, and then the battle between the two sides started.

"Hey, he has been led by his opponent. Is this the fighting level of the next head of the Gremory family?"

"Compared to the Sidi family, the princess of the Gremory family has always been at a disadvantage."

"After all, it's my first time, so inexperience is inevitable."

"..."

Looking at the battle on the screen, comments like this immediately rang low in the entire viewing hall. However, judging from the evaluation, everyone had a slightly negative impression of Rias's battle.

But there is nothing that can be done about it, because without the presence of Hyoudou Issei, without the heaven-defying skill of milk language translation, Rias, who doesn't know that she has been deceived into a barrier, has been talking to the person in the barrier. The split spirit fantasy was fighting, and it was not broken until Akeno and Kiba Yuto broke out. Finally, through the reminder of the kitten, the true identity of Shitori Sona, who had been hiding above the roof, was discovered.

So it is natural that the evaluation is low.

Fortunately, in the final battle between [King] and [King], Rias relied on her destructive magic power to defeat Sona Shitori, who had water-attribute magic power, and killed [King], winning the match. . So in the end, although the senior management's comments were not full of praise, they were still reasonable and they were quite satisfied with the performance of Rias and her family members.

At this point, Rias's first official rating game ended with her victory. It's much better than the situation in the original book where they lost to Phoenix right off the bat, at least there wasn't that much gossip.

"The rating game is really interesting." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"Didn't you already make the chess pieces? How about it? Do you want to participate in the invitational event later?" Azazel glanced at Tashiro Kuroka, who was standing next to Ito Cheng, and said with a smile.

"Forget it, that will turn a good game into a farce." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"That's right." Azazel agreed.

"Okay, excuse me for now, I'm going to see Rias and the others." Ito Cheng said.

"Together." Sirzechs smiled.

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and agreed.

Then the two said goodbye to Odin and Serafall, walked out of the viewing hall together, and came to the area specially used to receive and place the injured in the rating game. They found the room where Rias was and walked in. . (To be continued...)
