Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 267: How to make it big?

Chapter 267: How to make it big?

"Yay, So-chan is the winner~!"

Serafall hugged Riser happily, and then, along with her shout, everyone also woke up from their stupors.

"Congratulations, Riser-sama! Serafall-sama!"

"As expected of Riser-sama's wife and Serafall-sama's little sister."

"Her swordsmanship is superb..."

Everyone started to congratulate Riser and Serafall as the victory of Sona was announced. Still, as they watched this match, there were many things they wanted to ask, but with their current position, could they ask such a question?

Nevertheless, the performance shown by Sona and her peerage members told everyone about Riser's ability. With the power gained by Sona and her peerage members, they realized how amazing his teaching ability was, and even if they knew they had disdained it before, the idea of sending their children or young descendants into the school created by Sona appeared before their minds.

The fact they looked down on the low-class and reincarnated devil didn't change, but the benefit that came from having connected to Riser was so great that they almost couldn't stop their salivae.

Whether it was a sword technique, creativity, Mocking Gear, or many others, with all of those benefits, even if they had to send their children or young descendants to Sona's school, it was worth it.

As for making a connection with the other devils' house, compared to Riser, those things were nothing at all.

In other words, at this moment, Sona's school was on rage.

However, there were also many who had a complicated reaction, especially Odin.

If Riser was only strong, then there was no need to worry about him, but not only his might, but he also had the ability to make many become stronger.

'Being his enemy definitely isn't an option, but...'

Odin glanced at Riser, but it seemed that Riser noticed his glance.

"Is there something wrong, Odin?"

From the beginning to the end, there was not even a shred of respect in Riser's voice. When Riser talked, Riser thought of them in the same position. Previously, Riser even dared to antagonize him, and at the same time, Risercould quickly let go of the prejudice and became friends with each other.

At this moment, Odin suddenly thought of a certain young man who moved his heart. He wanted to help that young man, but when he thought about the consequences that might come with helping that young man, he decided to rethink this problem again.

That young man might have moved him, but Odin thought further, especially when he needed to think about the future of the Norse Myth.

Similar to the devil, angel, and fallen angel, who had decided to hold each other's hands so they could become strong.

The Norse Myth also had its own problem, but unlike the devil, angel, and fallen angel, it hadn't found the solution except for joining hands with those three races.

At that moment, Odin knew that he could only choose one choice. It was impossible for him to be greedy.

Still—

"What's wrong, Odin-sama?" Rossweisse noticed Odin's stare, which made her confused.

"You are an excellent Valkyrie, Rossweisse." Odin smiled.

Only Rossweisse quickly moved away and put her hands on her chest as if she were trying to protect something.

"Odin-sama, if you try to harass me sexually, then I will report this to the up!"

Rossweisse's tone was full of chillness, as if she was ready to bring down this old fart as long as he dared to do something outrageous.

"...." Odin.

Nevertheless, as everyone in the audience talked to each other, Rias was still in a daze when she thought about her loss. While she knew that it was all due to Sona having been trained by Riser, it couldn't be denied that if Sona hadn't worked hard, it would have been impossible for her to become this powerful.

In other words, even if Rias didn't want to admit it, she had lost to Sona!

Her ego couldn't change this fact, and her pride was brutally shattered by reality.

At that moment, Rias knew that she was no longer the princess that everyone was looking up to. She had lost everything, and she also knew that it was impossible for her to become the champion of the Rating Game or dream of bringing the Gremory House to its previous height.

In this place, her dream was crushed.

*Crack!*

As she was about to destroy everything inside the room, a knock and a familiar voice from behind the door of her room were heard.

"Rias, are you there?"

"...Sona?"

"I am coming."

Rias couldn't even say anything as Sona entered her room. Unlike her, who was a mess, Sona's appearance was impeccable, and she only noticed now that Sona tried to make her hair longer as Sona's short hair reached her shoulders, making her even cuter.

Meanwhile, Sona frowned when she saw Rias' state. "You are in a mess."

"...are you here to laugh at me, Sona?" Rias felt bitter as she knew she couldn't be as selfish as before. While she was angry toward Sona, she could only endure it as she knew she couldn't bear the consequences of angering her childhood friend. The gap between them had been divided so deep that she couldn't see her back anymore. While she was on the earth, covered with dirty mud, Sona was in heaven, overlooking everyone from a high position with ease.

"You have changed, Rias."

Sona couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Rias' current state. If before, Rias always exuded a confident aura, at this point, Rias appeared so weak that she could crumble anytime. She could even feel Rias trying to appear humble when Rias met her.

"Everything has changed, Sona. I am not like before. I know my position is."

It was also because of this that Rias felt bitter.

With no one she could rely on, Rias realized how weak she was.

"...."

Sona thought about all the words on her mind before, but she knew she needed to change it. Instead, she asked, "During the funeral and also the coronation, you kissed my husband, right?"

"...."

Rias' lips trembled as she lowered her head in shame since she didn't expect Sona to be so direct by asking her blatantly like this. She might not have felt it before, but she felt like she was that dirty woman who seduced someone's husband.

"...if you wish me to stop to seduce him, then..."

"No, you don't need to stop."

"Eh?" Rias was startled as she looked at Sona in disbelief.

"I will allow you to get close to him."

"....."

Rias widened her eyes in disbelief, but was it really okay?

Nevertheless, when the two had a conversation, the one with the biggest shock of this loss definitely was Issei.

With the way he lost, Issei really couldn't meet everyone due to the shame. If he was defeated in the bloody fight, he wouldn't be like this, but he had lost due to a perverted technique!

"Issei-kun, please cheer up."

Still, Kiba, who was as gentle as ever, tried to encourage Issei. "Unlike me, who lost first without being able to do anything, you—"

"I didn't do anything. I just stood there, then my clothes were ripped, and I became naked in front of everyone."

"...."

Kiba fell in silence and didn't know what to say as he knew that it was all due to Issei's pervert technique. When the match ended, he also understood that all the uniforms worn by Sona and her peerage members had been imbued by "Reverse" magic, a magic that was capable of reflecting the effect of a magic or a technique on the attacker.

Issei didn't know this and used his "Dress Break" on Ruruko. When everything had happened, he was the one who became naked.

"...then, will you stop becoming a pervert?" Kiba asked softly.

To be honest, the "Reverse" magic wasn't that omnipotent. If Issei blasted his opponents with a blast of energy, then the special uniform worn by Sona and her peerage members was as good as useless.

In other words, as long as Issei stops being a pervert, everything will be okay.

"...no way."

"What?"

"No way! I won't stop becoming a pervert!"

With tears streaming down his cheeks, Issei shouted passionately.

"....."

Kiba was speechless, but he was still as gentle as ever. He took a deep breath and then smiled. "Then, you shouldn't get depressed and stand up since our match isn't the end. We might have lost now, but let's bring a victory to Buchou in the next match!"

"Yes!"

Issei was full of spirit, especially when he thought that Rias would comfort him with breaths, but at the same time, he felt worried about something. He looked around and then asked, "Kiba, do you know how to make mine become big again?"

"....." Kiba.
