*****

Jin was taken to the old school building by Rias and Sona. The former only stopped in front of the building because she needed to prepare herself to become the witness later, leaving the two alone.

The atmosphere between them was awkward. They walked side by side, slowly, as if they were trying to take time to get to the room where the others were waiting for them.

"Umm" Rias opened her mouth slightly, glancing at Jin. "How do you feel?"

"Great, why?" Jin asked, smiling a little. "Are you still worried and doubting my strength? I mean, that's only natural. But believe me, I can win this duel overwhelmingly."

Yes. He was really confident.

Because he found out about one thing, his Holy Magic worked against Riser and worked really well on top of that. He just needed to refine his Magic more, unlike the half-assed Magic he used when he fought him a week ago.

His training with Kuroka and his self-training to further increase his control over his skills proved to be useful. His growing Magic and experience allowed him to create more than a dozen flying Holy Magic weapons.

The spar that he did with Kuroka also sharpened his combat ability. The only thing he wasn't sure about was how to use his Youjutsu, as Kuroka said it would come with experience in the future.

And as he gained experience, he noticed that his close-combat ability was better than his swordsmanship. It would be overkill to beat Riser like that, so he would try to hold back as much as possible later.

'I can embarrass him with close victory or overwhelming victory anytime. But I would like to have a sandbag that can regenerate to test my swordsmanship. I guess I will play for a few minutes before defeating him completely.'

Rias had doubt in her eyes. The way Jin spoke was like he underestimated Riser.

"You have underestimated Riser too much, Jin. Maybe he's a scum, but he's still one of the best Devils in the Underworld. With his regeneration, he is able to fight for as long as possible." She said.

Of course, Jin knew about that. After all, he also had that said Regeneration ability. He increased it to Level 3 alongside the Fire and Wind Magic he got from Ravel.

So he just shrugged his shoulders without answering the red hair. He would like to give her a nice surprise.

"Don't say that I haven't warned you if you lose. Rather, if you lose, then you will have no chance to see me again. I can only hope for your victory."

They had arrived in front of the ORC room, where Lucifer and the others were waiting to meet before the Duel.

"As I said, It will be an easy one."

Rias looked at him with disbelief. She then let out a soft light before knocking on the door.

"Excuse me. I have brought Hyoudou Jin with me."

Jin glanced at her for a second and thought, 'I guess she can have manners when she needs to, after all. Now then'

"Enter." A voice belonging to a man answered from inside. Jin didn't need to see who said that, but he was certain that this voice belonged to Lucifer. Rias' body stiffened a little after hearing the voice, something that Jin noted too.

'Let's meet Lucifer.'

The door was opened from the inside, accompanied by a creaking sound. A beautiful woman wearing a maid costume was the one who opened it, and she greeted them.

"Welcome, Rias-sama. Jin-sama."

She was Grayfia Lucifuge, Lucifer's Queen and wife. Jin learned about it in his spare time, being taught by Sona from a night phone call as they didn't meet during the duration of his training.

After the door was fully opened and Grayfia stepped aside, Jin could see the room's occupant. A handsome red-haired man, sitting on a sofa on the side of his soon-to-be opponent, Riser Phenex. They looked at him with different gazes.

Satan, Lucifer, was looking at him with a soft smile, while the son of Phenex house looked at him in annoyance, but a confident smirk soon replaced it.

"Yo, you're not running, bastard?"

Riser tried to intimidate and mock Jin, but that didn't work at all. If he remembered what he did to his sister that night, the mocking was reduced to some kind of a joke. So Jin only smirked back.

"Look back at you. I don't know that you have the guts to appear here again after I punched you out of this room. If it's me, I would be embarrassed and choose another room to talk to you." Jin raised his shoulders. He looked down on Riser without trying to hide it.

This was a psychological war, something effective to be done before a duel. Depending on the outcome, the victory of the duel could differ greatly.

That was why Grayfia didn't stop them as she did before, as this was a part of their duel. Instead, she prepared tea and gestured for Jin and Rias to enter the room.

As they sat down on the couch opposite Riser, he gritted his teeth and glared at Jin, "Y-You"

But before he could finish his sentence, Lucifer spoke.

"Now, now. Let's not be heated before the Duel. I believe both of you don't want this to become an unofficial one. I am also not that free to wait for both of you to have a verbal war."

"My apologies, Lucifer-sama." Jin quietly apologized with a smile. He knew when to back down, especially in front of a great power like Lucifer.

'When I get close to him, I can now feel how strong he is. Azazel can't even be compared.' He thought.

"Guh My apologies." Riser followed suit. Then Lucifer smiled widely.

"Great! Alright, because this Hyoudou Jin doesn't know me, I guess I will start with a self-introduction. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer. Nice to meet you, Hyoudou Jin."

"It's nice to meet you too. As you know, my name is Hyoudou Jin."

"Alright. As I've said earlier, I don't have much time. So let's not beat around the bush." Sirzechs snapped his fingers, gesturing to Grayfia to come closer.

The maid strode over and stopped behind him. She held a paper, then coughed into her hand.

"Allow me to read the rules of the duel today. First of all, the winner will get the hand of Rias Gremory-sama in marriage. Secondly, the duel will be held in a pocket dimension, and the condition to win is to either make their opponent surrender or when the opponent can't continue." She stopped and looked at Sirzechs.

"I will be the judge, and Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, alongside Sona Sitri-sama, will be the witness."

"I will be fair," Sirzechs said with a nod. He crossed his legs, and the same smile still plastered on his face.

"Thirdly, killing is not permitted. We will transport the injured out of the pocket dimension by teleportation when we judge they can't continue."

Grayfia stopped for a while and looked at Jin and Riser, respectively.

"Is there anything that both sides want to ask or say?" She asked.

"None." Riser answered.

Jin shook his head and said, "I have none."

"Well then, I believe both sides agree to the rules above. Then, I will transport both duelists to the pocket dimension."

As Grayfia said that, she extended her hand and a blue magic circle appeared under them. It glowed a bright light, causing Jin and the others to close their eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the middle of an arena. The place looked like a colosseum, and only he, Grayfia, and Riser were in the middle of it.

"Teleportation, huh?" Jin muttered as he looked around.

"Well then. Without further ado" Suddenly, Grayfia spoke. He turned around and focused on Riser.

The other party was showing off his Demonic Energy in the form of a burning flame. It shoots from his open palm to the sky.

Jin thought that he also needed to show off. So he calmly used his Holy Magic, creating more than 30 light weapons in the sky. They were shaped differently from each other. Swords, Spears, Lances, Axes. All kinds of cold weapons were present, each with more energy than the light weapon he had made a week ago.

A surprised look appeared on Grayfia's face. But her aloof expression returned a second after, and she declared.

"Start!"
