The corner of Rias' mouth curved into a smile when she heard Qin Tian praising her. It felt like she wanted to show off more so that Qin Tian would praise her more.
After all, who doesn't like being praised by their own boyfriend?
Compared to other people's praise, praise from her own boyfriend made her heart full of sweetness.
If it was the old Rias, the current her would definitely want to make the people in her family and the people in the underworld praise her for her power.
But now? She felt that what those people thought of her didn't matter compared to Qin Tian's opinion of her.
She already didn't even care much about her inferiority complex when comparing herself to her older brother.
Her mentality had changed little by little ever since she started getting in touch with Qin Tian and listening to his inner voice.
First time knowing her future if she followed the plot from Qin Tian's inner voice. She felt her worldview was shaken at that time and felt she was just a character moving according to the plot.
She would cling to the protagonist desperately because she needed someone to save her from her political marriage troubles and fall in love with the protagonist in the process.
Even if the protagonist is a pervert like Issei, she will love him because her heart is moved by the hero's trick of saving beauty.
Especially with the existence of the protagonist's halo, even without the protagonist doing anything. In the end she will fall in love with the protagonist.
The plot of the world is a brainless harem plot, so her fate as the heroine is to be part of the protagonist's harem.
Rias knew a lot about harem stories from the manga and novels she read. So she can guess what her future will be like if she has a relationship with the protagonist.
But luckily she met Qin Tian at the bookstore back then. Then heard his inner voice so it made her wary of the protagonist Issei.
From then on she started to be interested in Qin Tian and quickly fell in love with him, even before Qin Tian helped about her political marriage problem like now.
If one were to look at her from the reader's perspective, she might look like an easy woman who easily falls for someone in just a few days.
How is it different from her being affected by the protagonist's halo? Does Qin Tian have something similar to the protagonist's halo?
Rias didn't know, but even if Qin Tian had that thing.
She didn't mind being affected by him.
Qin Tian was a very handsome and strong man who on the outside looked rather reserved, but in his heart he often complained about many things, even so he was quite a good person, especially from his inner voice that she often heard. Actually because she could hear his inner voice, she became even more attracted to him and found it pleasant to be around him.
Compared to the protagonist Issei and his disgusting inner voice, she of course preferred Qin Tian.
There was also another protagonist named Basara, but that person had nothing to do with her and from his inner voice she felt that person was somewhat similar to Issei who was thirsty for women.
Sometimes she wondered why the protagonist label belonged to such people?
Well, there was no point in thinking too much about other men, it was better to think about her own boyfriend.
Rias smiles sweetly and felt excited thinking about what she would do with Qin Tian after the matter with Riser was settled.
By the way she had already done quite a long monologue here, but no one bothered her.
She was actually waiting for that woman with the strange hairstyle who came from the Riser peerage to come attack her again.
But until now that woman still hadn't reappeared after being thown away quite far before.
"Has she already been defeated by my previous attack? But Grayfia hasn't said anything yet..."
Normally the Rating Game referee would announce every piece that was defeated in battle and Grayfia, was no exception.
But Grayfia still hadn't said anything just now, perhaps her previous attack was too much that it made the woman unable to move?
Hm...strange, she felt that the PoD output of him previous attack was set to not be too large. So at most it would only make the person receiving her attack have some minor injuries.
She wanted to test many things with her current power. So she didn't use serious attacks that would instantly defeat her opponent in a single strike.
Siris tried to stand up using the sword to support her trembling and wounded body. There was a trail of blood from her mouth so the audience could tell that she was vomiting blood after being hit by Rias earlier.
She stared at the several holes in the wall that she had created using her own body and walked straight to return to where Rias was and fight with her again.
But if she knew what Rias was thinking now, she would have vomited blood again because the other party's attack was deliberately set up to be as weak as possible so as not to make her instantly defeated in one attack.
Siris thought Rias' previous attack was too much and without any mercy at all.
Some of her internal organs were injured, her skin was chafed from the impact of the explosion, and she felt her spine was slightly cracked from hitting many walls earlier.
As she reached the school's tennis court area again, she looked up at Rias who was standing in front of her with the expression of a warrior who wouldn't give up even though she was already badly injured.
"Rias Gremory! Don't think you've won already" Cough*. I'll get serious now and I'll *cough* *cough* defeat you."
Siris said while coughing up blood many times, making the words she spoke not look convincing at all.
Even the audience was now not optimistic about her and some said to just give up and go to the hospital immediately.
"...."
Rias felt somewhat guilty having to fight someone who looked like she was dying. It seemed like her previous attack was too much for the other party.
But as a devil, she had to harden her heart at a time like this and show no mercy to her enemy.
The several PoD spears floating behind her turned into a spherical shape and spun at high speed around her body.
Numerous red-colored magic circles were created in the air with random positions that pointed towards Siris' position.
Siris shouted like a warrior as she raised her magic-wrapped sword and rushed towards Rias quickly.
But before Siris reached Rias, numerous PoD orbs attacked her from various directions and blasted the ground she was standing on in the process. She was forced to retreat and maneuver using her body to avoid each of Rias' attacks.
The PoD spheres spinning around Rias' body looked like they were just spinning as if forming a barrier around her, but that wasn't all. The PoD ball also teleported into many magic circles in the air that targeted Siris and attacked her like a machine gun from multiple directions.
Rias's PoD sphere that kept decreasing every time it was thrown at Siris was also reproduced in the process using her magic. With her magic capacity having increased a lot she could now Spam PoD Balls for several hours.
Now it was just a matter of seeing who would last longer, Rias' magic or Siris stamina' that ran out first.
Of course the result was that Siris' stamina ran out first in just tens of minutes. She couldn't keep dodging anymore and got hit by many of Rias' attacks in the end.
The ground in the school's tennis court area was blasted multiple times and Siris was finally defeated. She collapsed with many bloody wounds on her body and was immediately teleported to the medical center by the Rating Game's security mechanism.
"One Riser knight has been defeated!"
Grayfia announced to everyone. There was a faint smile on her face after seeing Rias' previous battle.
Other than the audience, all the participants who participated in the Rating Game could also hear Grayfia's voice.
In another area of the school.
Akeno smiled while looking at the Queen of the other party in front of her.
"Did you hear that? Someone from your side who was sent to defeat my King has been defeated."
She of course knew Rias had defeated one of the Riser knights earlier from Qin Tian's inner voice praising Rias.
This made her jealous as she also wanted to get praise from that smelly man.
Fortunately not long after the announcement from Grayfia, she met the Riser queen on the road.
This was her chance!
The Riser Queen named Yubelluna frowned. She was somewhat surprised that one of her friends had been defeated, but she quickly calmed down because it was only one pieces.
The Riser peerage had more people than the Rias peerage, so right now her side still had the upper hand as it still had more pieces than the other side.
Putting that aside, she was confused by the way Rias queen was looking at her now. It felt like she was viewed as prey and the other side seemed eager to do something to her.
Seeing Rias queen smiling while licking her lips. Yubelluna felt uncomfortable and could not help said: "I'm normal, I'm not interested in women."
"Ara, what do you mean?"
Akeno's lips twitched and she almost stumbled at what the woman in front of her said.
[Is Akeno a Yuri? Ugh... Akeno, I didn't expect you to... I don't like Yuri. Looks like I have to warn Rias to watch out for Akeno.]
Stinky man! You misunderstood!
Akeno was upset, her mood not good because Qin Tian misunderstood her.
She glared angrily at the woman who caused this misunderstanding.
"You're wrong! I'm normal too, I'm not interested in women!"
As she said that, she raised her hand and instantly summoned a magic circle that was two times larger than her body.
She did not hold back and wanted to immediately blast the woman in front of her using her Holy Lightning.
"Summon Lightning!"
Boom!!!
The giant yellow lightning bolt blew up part of the school area with a loud noise accompanying it.
"Riser Queen has been defeated!"
"Ohhhh!"
The crowd cheered after hearing Grayfia's announcement.
They had of course seen Akeno and Yubelluna's brief battle. Many of them hadn't expected the Rias to be so strong, even her Queen was strong enough to defeat the Riser Queen in one attack.
Akeno was panting with sweat on her forehead, she used half of her magic capacity in the previous attack.
[Wow... Akeno, aren't you too much to blast someone like that? But good job! You're awesome! Looks like I misunderstood you, luckily you denied vehemently that you're not Yuri.]
[*sigh relief*]
Akeno snorted, she was relieved that Qin Tian had not misunderstood her anymore.
She don't know why she panicked when that smelly man misunderstood her.
But now that it was okay, she was also very happy to have been praised by that smelly man.
If Qin Tian knew how much Akeno loved being praised by him. He would sigh because of how popular he was among women.
The proof was that the heroines even felt very happy to be praised by an the ultimate villain like himself, right?
That way it was only a matter of time to put more green hats on the protagonist's head.
Qin Tian would gulp and feel excited looking forward to a beautiful future with the heroines.
As for the protagonist? He will let the protagonist watch from a distance and make them jealous and envious to death of him!

Author Note
At first this chapter was very long but I cut it off due to certain circumstances back then and I made the mistake of cutting it off at the wrong part. But in my pâtreon it's already like this so it's not fair if I make a difference here. *Cough* I'm sorry about that guys. By the way for those of you who can't wait to end the Rating Game Arc. You can visit my pâtreon because there the Rating Game has been completed.
