A Necromantic Gamer's Journey(DxD)

Chapter 67: Immenence

---[3rd Person PoV]---

Akira stepped out of his basement, the time of the Rating Game was coming near. In just a few hours he would face Riser with Rias' peerage. He was headed to the ORC building to recoup with Rias' group after he headed off to his own training, leaving them to be trained by Wiz and Alpha instead.

As he was walking up to the front door Ddraig dressed in nothing but an oversized black shirt went to his side. Noting the strange air of confidence and self-assurance around Akira.

"So, it's finally your time to go up against the Phenex brat? Are you sure you can beat him? It's not that I doubt your strength but Phenex are always troublesome opponents." Ddraig noted by his side, he was wearing the relaxed wear he usually wore around the house. Hearing her voice he chuckled.

"It's not that I am sure that I can defeat Riser. I will, the only variable here is how badly I will defeat him." Hearing his words Ddraig couldn't help but smirk. She did not regret choosing him. He had a dragon-like aura around him.

The spirit to dominate, decisive, confident, and bold. He had traits she liked very much. Indeed she was very fond of her new contractor who had freed her from her prison. She couldn't help but want to see him grow.

His smile got even wider. In response, she wore a smile of her own.

"I would say good luck but you clearly do not need do you partner? Just don't forget to bring me a recording of the fight."

"I will."

...

Akira stepped into the Occult Research Club room, garnering the attention of everyone inside Rias' eyes widened, Koneko's tense shoulders sagged a bit in relief, and Akeno's smile got wider. Kiba had a reaction too.

And there were two more familiar additions to this room in the form of Sona and her Queen Tsubasa. Sona's eyes narrowed in a calculative manner as she eyed Akira down, ignoring the blush creeping up her cheeks as she saw him in his relaxed wear.

She hated to admit it, but Akira was currently her best suitor, at least the only one she was even interested in, not to mention his ability at chess and roguish charm. But she did not have a crush!

She did not have a crush on the handsome and elusive transfer student with hidden abilities and a roguish charm no matter how much Tsubasa teased her about it! She was the heiress to the Sitri family she does not have crushes!

But soon after seeing she saw the ORC members greeting him and the spark from seeing him had tapered to a more rational line of thought. The situation was too important for her to dwell on a crush she did not have.
