Chapter 14: joint training 4
The days passed quickly and it was already the penultimate day of the group of Rias at the mansion, which has not had notable advances in its potential, after all, what only a day of training could do with the accumulated negligence.
"So in this match, I will act as a judge and it will be a team battle, Rias and her peerage against Sona and friends", Yan announced, as this is the penultimate day Rias proposed a fight between the peerages to assess their strength, but logically Yan would not participate or I would win very easily and that is not the goal.
"The rules are as follows, if the King is defeated the game is over, if the King declares defeat the game is over, it is forbidden to kill, those I consider defeated cannot interfere with the game", he paused briefly before saying the last rule, "The last rule is very simple, whoever flies over ten meters high will be shot by my swords so be careful", the battle would take place at UGW in which they could cause a lot of destruction without having to worry.
"Is it really a beautiful place, are those chess pieces new?" Asked Rias, curious, since there were chess pieces on the horizon, Sona was also curious, the last time she came here a few months ago they didn't exist. "They are, beautiful is not it? Well before we start, I ask you not to leave your seats ", without waiting for the group's response Yan channel its magical power causing huge blades to appear from the ground creating a kind of maze of swords and at the edges of it there were two fields surrounded by swords, or that is, the base of the teams. "Not bad for the first time? Hahahaha ", it was the first attempt to do something like this, and he managed, of course, are common blades, just to create a battlefield for the dispute.
"You have five minutes to fly over the place before the flight rule is valid and another twenty minutes to define a strategy before the game starts," Yan jumped and stood on top of a magic circle that kept him there twenty meters away from the battlefield and materialized on an ice throne, to enjoy the 'show'.
Sona, Ravel and Chloe just nodded each other going in one direction, for different purposes, Sona went towards the base to create ice barricades and waterproof the soil to strengthen the base and change the environment in their favor, the latter months Sona had learned to use ice magic almost as much as water making it her secondary weapon in combat, Ravel went to the center of the maze and began to notice the enemy's possible attack routes, and to prepare traps to prevent attacks and Chloe had a single mission, to hide and finish off the enemy King when she let her guard down.
"Alright guys, let's regroup at the base first," Rias's group went directly to the base after her orders, "Now that we're all here, let's do this, Koneko I want you to go in search of the enemy base and do the aerial reconnaissance ", a kitten flew towards the enemy base," Akeno I want you to stay with me here, your lightning magic is useless in this field so you will use your secondary element for now and finally Kiba I want you and Koneko to attack the opposing team, probably Sona and Ravel prepared traps so be careful ", Rias was very confident in her strategy, after all in just one week it is almost a miracle that she can think so much," Okay, but what will we do with Chloe? ", Kiba was concerned with what the little girl would do.
Rias just shook her head, Chloe alone was able to beat all her peerage easily, "there's no point in thinking too much, let's just do our best, this is your chance to face a battlefield so enjoy it", all the peerage knew that this was a losing fight, Sona and Ravel are two born strategists and Chloe was the perfect swordsman, "Don't worry Rias-san, let's give Yan a decent show", Akeno smiled and went talking on as he could turn the tide of battle.
Yan was happy to see his girls in sync, without having to give orders like others and just did what they knew, in addition to giving the Rias team a chance to demonstrate their growth, as a frontal attack could easily win the match. "I feel like a father who sees his daughters growing up", he wipes away like imaginary tears that fall from his eyes. "Koneko", he saw the girl flying towards Sona base in her human form, but when she looked up and saw Yan her transformation came out for a moment revealing her mode Neko way before disappearing, "She has been acting strange since that day with Akeno, does she know we slept together?", Since that day Akeno and Yan decided to keep secret between them, since each girl was in her room there were no problems in the morning and nobody knew about them, as he wakes up very early and made the girl go back to her own room when he woke up.
Since that day, Koneko looked out of the corner of her eye whenever he could, or muttered perverted when they were both briefly alone, besides always leaving her Neko mode activated, there was even an incident in which he went to bathe in the waterfall at night and when was getting ready to leave the kitten appeared and saw him in all his greatness before leaving screaming, "I don't want to make kittens yet, nya!".
"This is a bad memory", leaving his stupor the preparation time was over and it was time to start the game, "Time is over, time to start the battle, good luck!", At the moment when Yan just finished announcing the start of the battle a black and crimson ball destroyed everything in its path until it reached Sona's base and passed directly through it leaving a hole large enough for an adult to pass through.
"Now it's your turn Kiba!", Rias shouted breathlessly to her rider who left as quickly as possible between the holes towards the opponent's base, but he couldn't imagine that in the place where he stepped a few steps from the base there would be a circle explosive magician implanted by Ravel that made him be thrown and hit the 'wall', but even so he got up with his clothes in rags and continued to run and saw the two girls waiting for him, "You did well to get here, but you lost", said Sona as she released a torrent of water towards him causing it to fall and slide across the ice floor.
"Thank you!", He was defeated on the floor, but he had a devilish smile on his face, "Sword Birth, Lightning Rod!", Small swords began to arise and surround Sona and Ravel, before a bigger one grew from the center of the base with more than ten meters high.
"Kiba Yuuto, out of combat!", Yan announced and quickly removed the blond from the battlefield, that's when he realized that the sky had darkened, small rays of light illuminated the sky, at that moment Akeno wearing priestess clothes from the sanctuary flew over base and directed his hands to the sky before lowering them towards the great sword that appeared, "lightning!" after Akeno screamed a great Lightning struck the sword and dispersed the energy at Sona base causing a big explosion much more destructive due to the water spread on the floor.
"Akeno out of combat!", talked Yan. She ended up being distracted by the explosion and went over ten meters in height being stabbed by a sword. "Koneko finish Sona!", Rias's shout alerted Koneko who ran as fast as possible and hit Sona in the back of the head, who was dizzy from the explosion, causing her to faint. "Ravel out of action,big explosion much more destructive due to the water spread on the floor.
"Akeno out of action!" Said Yan. She ended up distracted by the explosion and was over ten meters tall being stabbed by a sword. "Koneko, end Sona!", Rias's scream alerted Koneko who ran as fast as possible and hit Sona in the back of the head, who was dizzy from the explosion, making her pass out. "Ravel out of action", when Koneko heard the announcement it was too late, Sona locked her in an ice coffin. "Good strategy, thanks to Maou that Ravel thought it would be better to change our look, or we would have missed out on carelessness," said Sona admitting he could have narrowly lost.
"Rias Gremory is out of action! Sona's team is the winner! ", As Yan's words were not surprising, since they knew that Chloe was always in hiding and could have ended the fight earlier.
"Haha ha! For this I did not expect! ", This was unexpected in every way, a suicide strategy with high chances of success, however everything went wrong due to Koneko who was not in her Neko mode and could have perceived the illusion through the amplified sense of smell, beyond the ordinary.
That night everyone was quite satisfied with the battle and went to celebrate, even Kiba was more open to fun and saw that it is good to relax a little, especially when there is an executioner on your feet. "Kampai!", Everyone toasted celebrating the end of the training, "Rias how did you manage to control your destructive power?", Ravel who spoke, the destructive power comes from the Bael lineage that Rias inherited from her mother Velana, this power is highly unstable and only demons with high demonic power can control it correctly, "Actually, I can't yet, it was a last minute bet and BAM! it worked! ", the redhead laughed at her words.
"So who made the strategy?", Ravel was curious to know which one made such a bet and almost won, "It was Akeno who came up with the idea to create a lightning bolt using a Kiba Sacred Gear to deliver a final blow and I decided use my power to pave the way and use the element of surprise ", Rias puffed out her growing chest expecting compliments and everyone laughed at it.
After a while Rias pulled Yan and Sona to have a private conversation, as he had something very important to say to both, "So what do you want to say to us?", Sona was curious, her friend never agile in this way , extremely nervous.
Yan just watched the situation develop, he could imagine what the conversation was going to be like, since Chloe was awake "at that moment" and knew everything that happened in Rias's room, which was why he would never go. to trust or like her, a girl capable of trying to cheat and steal her best friend was extremely dangerous.
"When I saw Yan and Rise's battle I was delighted with him winning so I tried to add him to my peerage, but a barrier prevented me from doing this and right after you entered the room", Rias had her head down and waiting for Sona's reaction, she would treat her like trash, get angry or even attack her for trying to steal her boyfriend, but what she did hurt the redhead's heart a lot more.
"You let me down, I didn't expect that from my best friend", Sona ran to her room with tears streaming from eyes, Rias was going to follow her, but was stopped by Yan, "Give time to her digest that information and yes I already knew ", the air around Yan got colder, the hall was completely frozen when he said," If you do something like Sona again I will make sure that you are never able to even say the name again hers! ", Rias's entire body trembled with fear, unlike the pressure he showed on the day of dinner that just made the air heavy, this was more terrifying making it froth at the mouth.
"Chloe, take Rias to your room, I'm going to sleep in Sona's room today, tell the girls not to disturb us", the two had telepathic contact, so the girl teleported in front of his and picked up Princess Gremory before disappearing.
Yan entered Sona's room without knocking and saw her lying on the bed covered by the sheets, sobbing as she cried, at that moment she didn't need words of comfort or venting her hurts just a friendly shoulder was enough.
Sona was always a strong and proud girl who didn't reveal her feelings unnecessarily and the reason for that was her older sister being a Maou and because she did not want to give her troubled life any more problems, governing the demons, she preferred to act more seriously and prioritize her apprenticeship to inherit the Sitri Clan, at least until he becomes friends with Rias and has his first friend of the same age, but now he discovers that the betrayal has destroyed his heart.
"You already knew, right? Why didn't you tell me? ", After a while, she stopped crying and looked directly at Yan.
