I Reincarnated into High School DxD as a Random Guy

Around 11.40pm at night—

 

The other club members and I have gathered in the old school building. We are waiting in our most relaxing positions. Everyone except Asia is wearing their uniform.

 

Kiba is equipped with a gauntlet on his hands and has some armor on his lower leg. He has his swords against the wall.

 

Koneko is sitting on the chair and is reading a book. On her hands, she is wearing gloves that allow her fingers to be seen. It’s one of those gloves that martial artists wear. It looks pretty intense if a girl with a loli face wears it but the kitty paw motif is cute.

 

Issei was just sitting opposite to us with an anxious face. Can’t blame him even I am a bit anxious.

 

Akeno and Buchou are drinking green tea elegantly.  They sure look calm but I am sure they are acting calm so that we don’t feel more pressured.

 

Asia and I sit on the chair quietly while we wait for the time to come.

 

Then the door suddenly opened and Sona and Tsubaki came in, while Tsubaki was closing the door Sona said, “Excuse us”.

 

“Good evening, Sona”, said Rias.

 

“Welcome!”, said Akeno.

 

“The Student Council President and Vice-President, why?”, asked Issei.

 

“Rating Game are broadcast to members of both families. They are responsible for it”, said Rias.

 

“I see”, said Issei.

 

“I volunteered for this task. It’s your first game after all”, said Sona.

 

“I’ll show you a fight that won’t insult our rivalry”, said Rias.

 

Then the magic circle in the room glowed and Grayfia appeared.

 

“Everyone are you prepared?”, asked Grayfia.

 

“Yes, anytime”, said Rias.

 

“Wen it’s about to start, you will be transported to the battlefield”, said Grayfia.

 

“Battlefield?”, asked Issei.

 

“An alternate space created just for this game. It’s disposed after each game, so you can run wild all you want”, said Akeno. She added a smile and ‘ufufu’ after the sentence, typical Akeno.

 

“Wild, huh?”, said Issei in an uneasy voice.

 

“I will be going back to the Student Council room to mange the broadcast. I wish you the best of luck, Rias”, said Sona as she turned to leave.

 

“Thank you, but make the broadcast fair, okay?”, said Rias.

 

“Of course. I do not expect an even match against him, however”, said Sona as she left.

 

Rias just had a smile on her face.

 

“By the way, Maou Lucifer-sama will be watching this match as well”, said Grayfia.

 

Rias looked a bit surprised. She ten said, “Onii-sama is? ……I see, so Onii-sama is also going to view this battle”.

 

Well since I have talked to Issei and everyone about the current situation of the devils and everyone has also added more info, Issei knew about Rias’s brother being Maou so it didn’t surprise him.

 

I thought of something and I decided to ask about it. I knew this wasn’t the appropriate time but I always wanted to ask this and this might be a good distraction.

 

So I asked, “Umm Grayfia-san can I ask something. It’s a bit personal”. Everyone looked at me in surprise.

 

Grayfia looked at me for a second, “Akira-sama you can ask but I’ll only answer it if I feel it’s appropriate”.

 

“Fair enough. I just wanted to ask why are you working as a maid? You are Maou Lucifer-sama’s wife and Queen right? You don’t need to do it”, I said.

 

Rias looked at in shock, perhaps she felt I asked an out of line question, maybe I did but I really wanted to know. Akeno, Kiba and Koneko looked panicked, perhaps thinking it might cause an outburst. Asia and  Issei looked at Grayfia expectantly perhaps they were curious as well.

 

Grayfia stared at me for a few seconds as if in disbelief, but she quickly composed herself and said, “I have to say I didn’t expect you to ask a question so irrelevant to today’s match. But….if you want to know, I LIKE my job. That’s all I can say”, she glared at me after the last sentence as if to say she didn’t want any other questions in that regard.

 

I quickly nodded and said, “I understand”. Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko sighed in relief.

 

Then Grayfia said, “It’s about time. Everyone, please head to the magic-circle”.

 

We gather to the magic-circle after Grayfia urges us to.

 

“Also, once you get transported, you cannot use the magic-circle until the game ends”, added Grayfia.

 

The magic-circle’s symbol changes to another one which is not that of the Gremory’s and it starts to emit lights. It’s also not the symbol of the House of Phoenix. Perhaps it’s the one used for the game?

 

While I was thinking about it, the light covers us and the teleportation begins.

 

When I opened we appeared to be in the same club room, everything was same but I knew better.

 

Grayfia wasn’t there and Issei and Asia looked confused.

 

Then—.

 

[Hello everyone. I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phoenix.]

 

School broadcast? It’s Grayfia-san’s voice.

 

[In the name of my Master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match. By using both Rias-sama and Raiser-sama’s opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kuoh academy, which Rias-sama attends to in the human world.]

 

I, went to the window, Issei and Asia followed me and as I opened the window as expected, we were in an alternate space, however the sky was white instead of the green aurora shown in the anime.

 

Anyway in the real world it’s supposed to be very dark since it’s midnight.

 

The broadcast continued-

 

[The location where both teams were transported will be their “base”. Rias-sama’s “base” would be the Occult Research Cub’s clubroom located in the old school building. Raiser-sama’s “base” would be the Student Council’s room located in the new building. For the [Pawns] to use “promotion”, please head to the enemy’s base to do it.]

 

“Everyone, will you all please put this transceiver in your ears”, said Akeno after giving everyone an earphone type transceiver.

 

Buchou says it while putting it in her ears, “At the battlefield, we will be using this to communicate with each other”.

 

The announcement-

 

[Now it’s the time for the commencement of the battle. Also, this match will continue till dawn in the humans time. So, Game starts now.]

 

RING! RING!

 

The school bell rings. So this is the ring to signify the start of the match huh.

 

Like this, our first “Rating Game” begins!
