Kuoh Academy. After school.

--So...we're going to play the Burnts against the Gremory Occult Club?

--Yes, Souji and I need you to win this for us, the Master of Familiars is a busy man and his schedule is full there is only one opening this week and we will take it, not Rias.

In the student council room, a beautiful young woman with glasses looked reproachfully at a scruffy-looking boy.

--Also, Souji, you should take better care of your appearance. The fact that you no longer have to come to class does not mean that you can lack the correct wearing of the school uniform.

--Okay~ no uniform then~ *tsk*

With a snap of his fingers, tight black armor covered his body, two silver pistols hung from his waist as well as various clips and grips covered his chest and legs, not to mention the six vicious and bloody looking appendages that writhed on his back. .

--Better, Sona-sama~

The young man smiled, who now gave the image of a demon from the depths of hell.

--Better but you should do something with your image it's just a game not a war to the death.

--You take the fun out of life~ My Fair Lady~

The black-haired smiled, putting away the weapons and appendages, leaving only the tight combat suit that perfectly denoted his trained body.

--Whether it takes the fun out of your day or not, we need this. Souji-kun, Saji, Nimura and you need a demon familiar.

--I have Suru~

Along with the young man's words, a black shape jumped out of the shadows and curled up in the boy's lap.

--*Suru* Suru is here~ Suru says hello~ *Suru*

The childish and innocent voice of the black slime made the stoic girl smile.

--Although Suru-chan is cute, you still need a proper servant, please take it as a formality.

--I see~ well I'm going to buy some Pizza~ Any request?

--I'll leave it to your discretion.

--Your wishes are commands~ My fair Lady~

The young man and his slime sank into the shadows, leaving the girl alone in the room.

--Ah... I don't know what to do with him anymore, his guard is too high.

--We played too much with your mind Kaicho, it's natural that you have certain objections against us.

--You don't know how much I regret it but I can't do anything.

--Kaicho.

***

Kuoh Academy. Gym

--I~ Iseei~ Asia-chan~

--Souji...you really are with the student council presidents...

Souji-onii-sama...

I ruffled the blonde girl while receiving penetrating and curious glances from both nobles.

The mistresses of both houses discussed the rules and soon the game began, too bad their pieces had other plans.

***

--Yuuto Kiba~

--Hyoudou Souji~

Ignoring the rest of those present, the two swordsmen walked facing each other with slight smiles on their faces but the air around them was too tense and sharp to be a meeting between two acquaintances.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

-- Leaving the game aside... May I?

--Bunchooooo...

At the black-haired man's words, the blond looked back at his mistress, who only smiled and turned to the black-haired Mistress.

--Sona, why don't we let them fight as a warm-up, since I see your Rook won't take No for an answer.

The red-haired beauty said with a teasing smile on her face as she crossed her arms under her exuberant bust highlighting it even more, further annoying the slender-bodied and intellectually beautiful young devil.

--Souji... Can you win?

Sona Sitri went to her Tower and it only showed a wide and crazy smile.

--Only of the order~ My Fair Lady~

--Souji, bring me victory!

--Yes~ My lady~

With those words, all the shadows present in the place trembled and a spectral scream resounded throughout the gym, raising the skin of all those present who turned their gaze to the smiling black-haired man who held a thin sword with a rustic western appearance without details or decorations, a simple piece of sharp metal with a 137 cm blade and a 35 cm handle.

--Ready~ Pretty Boy~

-- Ready... Buncho, please?

True to form, the Knight of the Gremory Group gave a smile before making out a double-edged western sword with multiple ornaments and details of the same length as the black-haired one. At the Blond's request, the Gremory Mistress stepped forward, standing in the middle of the two swordsmen with her right hand held high before shouting.

--GET STARTED!

Lowering her arm forcefully and bouncing her bust, the two swordsmen crossed their blades in the blink of an eye.

*Cling*Cling*Tling*Cling*Cling*Cling*Tling*Cling*Cling*Cling*Tling*Cling*Cling*Cling*Tling*Multiple metal crashes*

Two young swordsmen exchanged rapid and bloody thrusts without pause, creating a beautiful and violent symphony of metal.

--Hyoudou-kun

--Ise.

--Saji, Nimura-san.

--Your brother...

--Is this the first time you've seen him use a sword?

Everyone was in awe of the black-haired man's ability to reach the speed of the Gremory Knight, since all the possessed a speed upgrade but even so the Sitri Tower kept up.

--To be honest, I can't see anything since they move too much but he, should still be using Dojo Kagetora's style , the KageItoryo.

--Kage Itoryu? What is that style Ise?

A seductive voice came from behind the brunette.

-- Buncho! *Glup*

The chestnut turned red before swallowing and going back to his explanation, since although his younger brother is taking all the attention, this was his moment to show his intellect.

--Kagetoraryu, sword style based on fast and vicious movements, with an emphasis on flexibility and counter-striking, "Smooth and ethereal, Vast and Inescapable as the shadow of cherry trees" founded by Kagematsu Bunrei in 1515 after defeating to an Aka-Oni who had kidnapped his wife, currently Souji is one of the three candidates to become the new head of the Dojo and inherit the style, but since he has become my tower the position will fall to the daughter of the current teacher.

Sona explained with a beaming smile as she watched the seemingly even battle, but she could see the lunatic grin on her rook's face while her friend's knight had a serious and pale face.

--Sounds like you knew all that?

--It's obvious Rias, I studied everything about my Rook before recruiting it, since my pieces won't come running joyfully into my arms.

Sona replied with clear venom in her voice which made Rias back off because even though she didn't want to accept it, all of her pieces came into her hands without her having to make any or any effort.

--But Iseei-sama doesn't that explain why Souji-onii-sama is strong?

The sweet and curious voice of the ex-saint brought everyone back to the fight.

--Well that's because he's a monster Asia-chan~ he's like saying, the embodiment of both Sports and Unsports Violence, he's the type of person who participates in underground fights for fun and money.

*CLANK*

A dull metal sound caught everyone's attention and they looked at the two warriors who had finally stopped.

***

After the last block both swordsmen locked their blades in a thrust, approaching each other.

--You're good Yuuto~

--Same, Souji...

They both smiled with the pleasure of the battle coursing through their veins.

--Why don't we go up a level, Magic, Demonic Power, Touki, Sacred Gear, you tell me?

The black-haired man offered as he put more force into his thrust.

--Thanks... then I'll take the offer Sword Brith!

With a shout, the Sacred Gear owned by Kiba Yuuto created a dozen swords which blossomed from the ground like spears, a pity that his actions were a fraction too slow and the black-haired man had already jumped back covering his arms and legs with shadow armor. as well as a reddish black aura.

--You better get ready Kiba Yuuto~

The black-haired man placed the edge of the sword up as he brought it to his shoulder, changing his grip to an inverted one, passing it behind his back and leaning forward like a beast preparing to attack.

*crack*

The muscles in the black-haired man's legs tensed and expanded, as did those in his arms and back.

--Kage Itoryu - YOMITORAGIRI! (Shadow of a Sword Style – Dark Tiger Slash)

In an instant all the swords he [Sword Brith] created were shattered by a strong wave of Touki and condensed demonic energy, along with the psychotic and insane sword intent that oozed from the black-haired man.

*BOOOOOM*

After the blinding flash of the reddish-black Touki, Kiba Yuuto lay leaning against the wall at the back of the gym against which he had just crashed, luckily he managed to cushion and reduce the impact of the brutal sword technique or else instead of being lying down he would have ended up pinned to her or worse, split in two like all his other swords and his own uniform, which showed a clean cut below the ribs, revealing his pale abdomen now stained with blood from the slight wound he received.

--Looks like I won~ Yuuto~

--Yes, you won~ this time Souji~

--Well~ with this I can finally say that I am the strongest swordsman in this city~ Guahahahahahaha~

The black-haired man ignored the frowning, annoyed and astonished faces of the audience and laughed out loud, helping Yuuto up.

--I'll win next time, Souji-san.

--You are welcome~ though I warn you, the KageItoryu is not the only thing I have~ so prepare well~ I want a fun fight.

--Count on it.

The two swordsmen smiled and returned to their respective peerages.
