Chapter 577: Match Between Strongest 4

Yuuki listened to Naud about the explanation of this Rating Game.

Dice Figure Game, that is the special feature that will be added to this Rating Game.

This game is a variant of the Rating Game with different mechanics. Instead of a long, full-team battle, it will be a blitz (short battle) with limited members. Both Kings will roll a six-sided dice (one each) and the number added up from both Kings will determine the value of Pieces (servants) to be sent. However, the Kings are not forced to completely use all the points (with a total value of eight, the Kings can send two Knights and have two left over), which will be wasted and not added to the next roll. Servants that consume two or more Pieces of its kind will have the added-up value of the Piece (a servant that has consumed two Pawn Pieces will have the value of two or a servant that have consumed two Knight Pieces will have the value of six).

'Hmm, pawn = 1; bishop = 3; knight = 3; rook = 5; queen = 9; king is depend on the estimate value given by the judging commitee,' Yuuki rubbed his chin.

"Yuuki, is that Sairaorg stronger than Rias?" Kuroka asked curiously.

"I'm not sure I have ever seen him fight, but from the way the committee made a difference in value between the two of them, then we can decide that Sairaorg is stronger than her," Yuuki said. He saw the value of Rias only felt that the committee judged her weaker than Akeno since her value was only eight and Akeno was queen had a value of nine. He was also curious about the power of Sairaorg since the committee judged him to have 12 value for his king piece.

"Also, those who represent multiple pieces will also use up the same amount, this means that Hyoudou Issei, who represents all eight pawns simultaneously, will be valued at an 8, however, you cannot use the same player consecutively, so please take a note to that," Naud explained and added, "Lastly, about Phoenix Tears, the Phoenix clan has granted the use of each one for each team."

Naud nodded when he saw that everything was thoroughly explained, "Now, the Games are about to begin."

Rudiger, who was the arbiter of this match, nodded and looked at everyone, "Now then, Sairaorg Bael's team, Rias Gremory's team, the Rating Games for both teams... is now open!"

"UWOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"We shall begin with the first match, Kings, please take the dice and hold it," Rudiger said.

Rias and Sairorg walked toward the place and held the dice.

Rudiger took a deep breath and said, "Throw!"

Rias and Sairaorg threw the dice at the same time.

The dice started to move around until it stopped and showed the number to everyone.

"Rias turned a 2 and Sairaorg rolled a 1, the total is 3, due to both team's pawns having a high default value, the only ones allowed are either a Knight or a Bishop, now, who shall be the first chosen for each peerage?" Naud said.

Both of them started to talk to each other about their strategy for the first battle.

There was a simple spell that closed their mouth to make them unable to be heard or seen the movement of their lips.

Yuuki had probably known who they would choose for his first match.

"Yuuki, who do you think will be the first match, nyaa?" Kuroka was excited.

"It should be both Knights that will fight each other for the first battle," Yuuki said.

"Really nyaa?" Kuroka asked.

"Hmm, I guess there is something true within what your logic is," Azazel said.

"There is no logic, it's only a hunch," Yuuki said.

"I guess a fight between the two Knights is the most logical for the first match since both of them have pawns with a high value," Diehauser said.

"Now that you mention it, I understand that Issei represents 8 pieces but what about a pawn of Sairaorg?" Yuuki suddenly asked.

"Oh, that's right, do you know something, Diehauser?" Azazel asked.

Diehauser shook his head, "I don't know, Sairaorg has never used his pawn in the Rating Game, maybe he is trying to hide it from everyone."

"It would be funny if his pawn was also a Longinus user," Yuuki said.

"Do you think Longinus is a cabbage? There are only a limited number of people who have a Longinus in this world," Azazel said with a strange expression.

"No, I think that is possible," Diehauser supported him.

"Azazel, do you remember that they have always attracted trouble? From God, Old Satan Faction, Hero Faction, and Khaos Brigade, I think a Longinus user is normal compared to what they have done in the past few months," Yuuki said.

"......" Azazel was speechless since he couldn't refute his words. He sighed and said, "That's true, a Longinus user is normal compared to the thing that happened in the past few months."

"Is his pawn that orange hair kid nyaa?" Kuroka asked.

"I'm not sure," Yuuki said.

"Yes, that is his pawn," Diehauser said.

"Hmm, I can see anything special about him," Azazel said.

"Isn't that the same when you see me for the first time? Maybe he is hiding his power too, but that mask is obviously a seal or something," Yuuki said.

They were talking to each other until the first match had been decided and both of the team had decided to send out their knight for this battle.

"It's really a battle between Knight, huh?" Azazel said.

"For some reason, it feels like anticlimax nyaa," Kuroka said.

"Then we only need to wait for the battle of your little sister, Akeno, and that perverted Red Dragon Emperor," Yuuki said.

They laughed at hearing his statement. They didn't need to wait too long and the match started the fight between Rias Gremory's Knight, Kiba Yuuto against Sairaorg Bael's Knight, Beruka Furcas.

"It's starting now!"
