9 Rating Game
**Riser found himself in the replica of the student council room, preparing for the impending Rating Game. The familiar setting of the copy reminded him of Kuoh Academy, but he knew the real confrontation would take place in the shadows of the underworld.**
**The decision to hold the Rating Game in a location similar to Kuoh Academy did not escape his notice. It was clear that Rias, his fiancée, might gain some advantage in this familiar environment. However, Riser was confident that his preparation and strategies were up to the challenge, regardless of the chosen scenario.**
**In the observation room, in addition to the Phenex and Gremory families, the distinctive presence of the Sitri family added additional weight to the already imminent Rating Game. The duel between these two grand families, with the notable presence of two Maous in the observation room, captured so much attention that the intensity of the confrontation was destined to be transmitted to the underworld through DevilNet. The underworld eagerly awaited, anticipating the developments of this battle.**
**Observation Room of the Rating Game:**
**Sirzechs addressed Serafall with a friendly smile: "Serafall, I'm surprised you came to watch my sister's Rating Game."**
**Serafall responded with a playful look: "Well, Sirzechs, Rias is friends with Sona-chan, so I decided to watch. Besides, it's not very common for a demon to choose to fight without their Peerage, like Riser did. That made me curious to know what kind of person he is. Is he really strong, or is it just arrogance?"**
**Sirzechs commented: "I think Riser will regret this decision. He will not only face Rias but also Issei, who is the Red Dragon Emperor."**
**Serafall inquired: "Boosted Gear? And to think that if Riser loses, it'll be easier for him to marry Sona-chan. However, I don't want Sona-chan's fiancé to be a loser."**
**Sirzechs replied: "Alright, Serafall."**
**Serafall affirmed: "All right."**
**Sirzechs, doubtful, questioned: "Are you sure?"**
**Serafall said firmly: "It's fine. Let's join the others."**
**Student Council Room**
**Riser's POV**
**Riser looked at Yubelluna seriously, "Yubelluna, as soon as Rias's video is released on DevilNet, I want you to come to me immediately to inform me. I want to be aware of any repercussions."**
**Giving his instructions, Riser looked at Shizuku, Erza, and Yubelluna and continued: "And when I decide to leave, I want the three of you to leave as well. Ensure that everything is organized and under control."**
**Shizuku, Erza, and Yubelluna responded in unison: "Yes, Riser-sama."**
**Riser visualized the system screen.**

**Gold Ticket: No Prize.**
**Checking the gold ticket, his expression turned grim as he realized there was no prize. "Unfortunate. I'll try one more time." Frustrated, Riser decided to buy a copper ticket.**

**While Riser admired his new ability, Grayfia's firm voice echoed in the room:**
**"Competitors of the Rating Game, in 5 minutes, the battle will begin."**
**Maintaining his confident posture, Riser addressed the girls in his room:**
**"Wait for me here in the room, girls."**
**They responded promptly:**
**"Yes, Riser-sama."**

**After 5 minutes, Grayfia announced the start of the Rating Game. Riser left the school building and began walking the grounds. Finding no one near the school, he headed towards the hidden research building. As he approached the building, he spotted Rias and Akeno on the rooftop, while Koneko, Yuuto, and Issei were positioned on the ground.**
