The underworld.

The Rating Game arena was filled with thousands of spectators. They were all noble  devils who had come to see Rias Gremory's match against Riser Phenex.

They all knew this match was made because the rebellious Rias Gremory wanted to break her political marriage with Riser Phenex.

Many devils secretly scorned the Gremory family because of Rias' actions, but more than that they were also excited to watch the match.

For devils who had lived for a long time, the Rating Game was good entertainment to overcome their boredom, especially when the people competing were from great noble families in the underworld like Gremory and Phenex.

It stimulated their interest to watch and see who would win and lose.

But many of them were actually optimistic that Riser Phenex and his peerage would win because Riser Phenex had a good history of Rating Game matches.

As for Rias Gremory? Quite a few of them knew that the Gremory princess was a spoiled girl who only relied on her older brother, Sirzechs Lucifer.

Rias Gremory also had no previous Rating Game experience, and this match against Riser Phenex was her first time.

So isn't it pretty obvious who will win in this Rating Game?

That's what many viewers are thinking right now.

Inside the luxurious room not far from the Rating Game arena.

This was an exclusive room for the upper-class people in the underworld. There were several rooms like this at the edge of the arena. One of them was here where the people of the Gremory family were.

"Sirzcehs, do you believe Rias will win this match?" The handsome red-haired man with a short beard asked.

Sirzcehs glanced at the man sitting beside him and said. "Don't worry father. I've seen the extent of their improvement after the previous training. It should be enough to defeat Riser."

Zeoticus Gremory, the father of Sirzcehs and Rias. sighed at how confident Sirzcehs was in his younger sister.

"Well hopefully Rias really wins. Otherwise the Gremory family will become a laughing stock..."

"Enough Zeo. Isn't it also your fault for forcing Rias into a political marriage in the first place? You know with Rias' personality, she's bound to rebel like now, especially when the man she's going to marry is an bastard like Riser." Vanelana said while pinching her husband's hand.

Zeoticus smiled wryly.

How many times had he heard this from his wife's mouth?

"But Riser wasn't like this before..."

Originally the reason why Zeoticus agreed to make a marriage contract between Rias and Riser was because of the benefits that benefited both families. Besides, he had also seen that Riser was a good boy, so he easily agreed to make Rias engaged to Riser.

But who would have thought that after a few years Riser began to turn into a bastard who collected many women to satisfy his lust.

"That's why you were optimistic about him, right?"

"Yes... even after he started changing like now. I can't just cancel Rias and Riser's marriage contract."

"I know. People know how annoying politics can be and the face of a family you care more about than your own child."

Vanelana shook her head with a flat face.

Zeoticus didn't reply again, he sighed and didn't want to argue with his wife about this matter.

Sirzechs was used to seeing his father and mother like this. It was better for him to change the subject as soon as possible.

"Ahem! Father, mother, calm down. As long as Rias wins everything will be fine."

Vanelana nodded with a faint smile.

"Yes, Sirzcehs is right. With the stakes in the Rating Game, political issues won't be a problem.

Seeing his wife and child...

Zeoticus wondered why they were so confident that Rias would win? Of course as a father he also hoped that his daughter could win, but he was also a realistic person.

He thought of the fact that Rias lacked skill in using her power of destruction and her peerage had also practiced infrequently over the years.

Previously he knew Rias and her peerage had practiced 5 days before the Rating Game started, but it was only 5 days, okay?

He heard that Rias and her peerage consumed some kind of potion that increased the effectiveness of their training.

But how effective was the potion to help Rias and her peerage? He didn't know for sure and actually he was less convinced by the potion.

He knew the potion was also given by a human which made him skeptical.

Of course he also knew who that human was, yet he was still skeptical about him.

Are Rias and her peerage now really able to defeat Riser who has experience playing Rating Game?

Looking at Zeoticus' dubious expression.

Vanelana and Sirzechs looked at each other. They both knew why Zeoticus still seemed to be skeptical about Rias.

"Father, I know you still doubt the ability of Rais and her peerage. But even if they don't manage to defeat Riser, there is still someone who will definitely manage to defeat Riser in this Rating Game in the end."

Zeoticus raised his eyebrows with a doubtful expression and asked Sirzechs. "Who? What do you mean that human? I heard that he will also be competing in this Rating Game on Rias' side. Is he really as strong as the information I got about him?"

Vanelana sighed, she arrogantly said: "You underestimate my future son-in-law. He's stronger than you imagine."

Sirzechs nodded.

"Mother right, father. That Qin Tian... Hmm how do I put it? I can't see the depth of his power, but my instincts tell me that I need to be serious if I want to defeat him in a fight."

Zeoticus was surprised to hear his son's evaluation of that human named Qin Tian. He knew how powerful Sirzcehs was, after all he had the title of the strongest demon in the underworld, even stronger than himself.

Now Sirzcehs was saying that he should be serious if one day he fought with that human named Qin Tian?

This is unbelievable...

After all, he knew the limits of a human in the supernatural, and if humans wanted to exceed the limits of their race's strength, they should at least have Sacred Gear.

But according to the information, that human named Qin Tian didn't even have Sacred Gear. He did have some sort of supernatural power, but could he really compete with ultimate-class devils like Sirzechs?

"Well it's good if the Rias side has a trump card. I hope that Qin Tian is as strong as what you say Sirzcehs is." Zeoticus said.

Sirzcehs and Vanelana nodded, there was no point in continuing to brag about Qin Tian to Zeoticus. It was better to let Zeoticus see with his own eyes.

In front of them a hologram-like screen appeared and displayed the people who would be playing the Rating Game.

Rias and her peerage were displayed, they were wearing school uniforms.

Don't know why, but no one commented on the school uniforms they wore in the Rating Game.

Yet if Qin Tian heard this, he would say that it was the logic of the fictional world.

Just like the characters in an anime who always wore the same clothes in every episode. Surprisingly no one commented or complained on why the character never changed clothes.

By the way, Qin Tian is also shown inside the screen.

He looks relaxed wearing a black jacket, jeans, and sneakers while standing next to Rias.

Although she was wearing casual clothes, he was actually the most prominent in the arena. Many viewers glanced at him, especially his face which was shown longer on the screen than anyone else.

Qin Tian's lips twitched, he started to complain in his heart.

[I know I'm handsome and I don't get tired of saying it. I'm used to being the center of attention, but please can the cameraman be fair to every participant? Why are you showing my face longer than anyone else!]

[See? Because of that the audience now started whispering about me. I can hear many people saying why is a weak creature like a human here? Bla bla bla they're looking down on me.]

[If there's a chance I'll do a face slapping scene to these people who look down on me.]

[Hmph! We'll see.]

Despite complaining a lot in his heart, Qin Tian's expression was flat and looked at his surroundings indifferently.

Looking at the handsome young man with an indifferent expression on the screen.

Zeoticus nodded and said. "He has a good temperament for a human, even when facing a lot of attention from supernatural beings he still looks relaxed."

Sirzechs agreed with what his father said and continued to watch the screen.

Vanelana laughed making the two people beside her look at her.

"Pffft! Hahaha as expected of my future son-in-law! So handsome!"

Okay Qin Tian's appearance was indeed very handsome, but was it necessary to laugh so hard?

Zeoticus and Sirzcehs were confused, fortunately they were now in an exclusive room. Otherwise people would see Mrs. Gremory who was laughing like crazy.

Vanelana ignored the gazes of her husband and son, she stared at the screen that displayed Qin Tian with a big smile on her face.

There was no way she say that she was laughing because heard Qin Tian's inner voice, right?
