While Izuku and Siris began their battle with each other, and when Koneko started her fight with Ni and Li, Rias blocked an incoming attack from Riser with her magic shield while Asia took care of any injuries she received from him.
"Wow, he's so strong," Asia said in worry.
"I wish you would make this more entertaining, Rias," Riser says with a sigh. "This is the worst foreplay I've ever had."
Rias makes a "Tch!" sound as she conjures two balls of her demonic power from her hands.
"Play with this!"
Rias launches her projectiles at Riser, aiming for his face, only for the latter to conjure up a large ball of flame to block her oncoming attack, causing a large explosion to erupt at the rooftop.
"Buchou!"
Izuku widened his eyes at the sight of the explosion, worried that Rias may have been hurt.
"I'm fine Izu," Rias assures him in his communicator. "Don't worry about me. Focus on the battle at hand."
"But… Bu-"
"Don't doubt yourself! I believe in you!"
"I'm not doubting myself at all!" Izuku argued while blocking another slash from Siris, followed by him slashing at Siris. While she did block his attacks, she was backing away due to the force of his attacks.
"I'm worried about you, Rose!" Izuku continues while being on the offensive. "With Riser's regeneration and the fact that our only healer is at your side, you're playing with fire! No pun intended!"
"I know, and I'm sorry." Izuku gains a surprised look at the tone of her voice. "Just do what you can to defeat your enemies. I'm counting on you; all of you."
Izuku widens his eyes slightly when he heard her hang up the communicator. While blocking Siris' horizontal slash, he pushed her away and gritted his teeth in anger.
'Dammit! I can't waste any more time here!'
Izuku then saw Siris attempt to cut him with a vertical slash. Seeing it, he throws his large sword to his left hand and blocks her attack while keeping a firm grip on his hilt.
Ravel, Siris, and even the black-haired Bishop widened their eyes at how he blocked the Knight's attack.
"He blocked Siris' sword," Ravel said in shock.
"With one arm!" Siris finished, looking impressed and surprised.
Siris then widened her eyes a little when she saw him give him a stern stare as he pushes her away.
"Sorry, Siris," Izuku begins as he reaches his right hand for his other Blade. "But I've started to become impatient."
Izuku then unsheathes his Blade and raises it above his head, making Ravel, and the others look on at his actions.
"Dual wielding?!" Karlamine asks while blocking an attack from Kiba.
Keeping his stern expression on Siris, Izuku slashed his Blade right onto Siris' sword, earning a confused stare from the latter but she was too large to figure out as Izuku pulled his Blade backwards, with strength that destroyed Siris' sword
"Shit! It broke!" Siris exclaims as she saw that there was nothing left of her sword but the hilt.
Izuku then kicks her in the stomach and lifts his Boosted Gear towards himself, looking at it with narrowed eyes.
'Ddraig! Respond to my feelings on wanting to protect the ones I hold dear and lend me your power!'
{Dragon Booster!}
"That's not enough! Those feelings were for my friends. Now please, respond to my feelings on wanting to save Rias! TO PROTECT THE ONE I LOVE DAMN IT!"
Green glowing markings form from the top hand of his Boosted Gear.
{Dragon Booster! Second Liberation!}
Upon those words spoken from the Boosted Gear, a tornado of green light began to form around Izuku, causing the other Devils to cover their faces as it continued to circle around him.
"Wh… What is this?!" Ravel wondered as she was able to get a glimpse of the green tornado while covering her face with her arms.
After the tornado dispersed, Izuku looked on at his Boosted Gear to see that it started changing. An elbow piece with a green gem set on it ejected from the elbow part of the gauntlet, two more gold spikes protruded up next to the original ones from the first liberation, with four more behind the gem embedded on the back of the gauntlet's hand, and one on each side of the gauntlet.
After scanning his Boosted Gear, His eyes widen at the design.
"Wait! I recognize this form!" Izuku began to remember...his memories of when he was younger start to resurface, he smiled a bit bur had fo focus,'So Ddraig, anything different about this 'Liberation'?'
{Not really. When the Boosted Gear is in its Second Liberation, you can boost yourself up at a quicker pace than you can in the First Liberation, and the Boosted Gear Gift ability should be stronger, i.e., be able to transfer much more power than you can in its First Liberation.}
'Really?' Izuku then grins as he suddenly got an idea, 'Let's test what you just said, Ddraig!'
Sheathing both of his swords, Izuku turns to Kiba.
"Oi! Kiba! Unleash your Sacred Gear with all of the power you got!"
"Do what now?!"
Kiba didn't understand why he wanted him to do that at first, but he got the message when he saw him point at his Boosted Gear, understanding what he tends to do.
With a look of determination, Kiba holds his sword in two hands and flips it to where the tip of its blade is facing the ground.
"Sword…"
He then lifts it upwards while staring at the ground with wide eyes of war.
"…BIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRTH!"
As Kiba stabs the sword on the ground, Izuku sees that a bunch more swords started to protrude from the ground around him, giving him the cue to play his part.
"Boosted Gear…"
Izuku proceeds aim his left fist towards the ground and punch it with all of the strength he has.
"…GIIIIIIIFT!"
{Transfer!}
At the Boosted Gear's call, a thousand more swords began to protrude around Izuku and began to impale the Phenex Devils, causing them all to scream in pain.
The only person who survived the swords unscathed was Ravel Phenex, thanks to her healing factor. As for the rest of them, The black-haired Bishop, Karlamine, Siris, Ni, and Li, they were on their way to retirement.
"Dammit…" Karlamine cursed under her breath. "How could we lose?"
As Karlamine began to be surrounded by a bright light, she used her remaining strength to shift her eyes towards Izuku, who pulled his fist from the ground and dusted his clothes off.
'And I never got to challenge him… Oh well… Maybe another time… If we ever do a rematch.'
The Phenex Devils who got impaled by the swords are now taken out of the game by the light, followed by an announcement from Grayfia.
"Two of Riser-sama's Pawns, two of his Knights, and one of his Bishops retire."
~Student Council room~
Tsubaki stared at what Izuku and Kiba have done in astonishment.
"Midoriya-kun enhanced Kiba-kun's Sword Birth with his evolved Boosted Gear!"
"A gift given to him by the Red Dragon Emperor," Sona added with a nod.
Ibara could only watch the scene with excitement on her face but that disappeared when she saw what's going to happen, 'I hope you all win this'
~Rating Game battlefield~
Izuku was seen wiping away the sweat from his forehead and regroups with Kiba and Koneko.
"Alright, what next?" Kiba asks them while sheathing his sword.
*CRACK! BOOM!*
The trio of Gremory Devils and Ravel jumped when they heard a loud cracking sound of thunder, followed by an explosion. When the four turned to the source of the explosion, three of the Devils widened their eyes, two in shock, and one in disbelief.
"No… Impossible…"
"Riser-sama's Queen retires."
Upon hearing those words from Grayfia, a confident smirk forms from Izuku's lips as he crosses his arms in front of his chest.
"Holy Hell!" Kiba exclaims as he starts to smile in hope. "Akeno-senpai actually did it!"
"Kickass!" Koneko shouts with a visible smile.
"No! It can't be!" Ravel shouts with contracted pupils, getting the attention from the three Gremory Devils. "She was our trump card to win! How can she be defeated!"
Ravel then blinks twice in confusion when he heard a Devil chuckle confidently at her. Upon setting her eyes at the source, she was surprised to see Izuku looking at her with his trademark confident smirk on his lips.
"Looks like my secret plan worked."
Upon saying those words, everyone's eyes widen in surprise, with Ravel being the most shocked of the Devils.
"You had a secret plan, Izuku?" Kiba asked, his surprised stare still on his fellow Devil.
"Yup. And I'm pleased to see it work out in the end."
~With Rias, Asia, and Riser~
"No! Impossible!" Riser shouts, frustrated at what he heard Grayfia said in the intercom. "My strongest servant, taken down by your Queen?!"
Rias allows a smirk to form on her face while Asia looked down at her friends with a smile and watery eyes.
'I knew you guys could do it.'
"Heh! See what happens when you underestimate us?!" Rias asks Riser, agitating him further. "With all of your servants down, minus Ravel, you might as well give up!"
"NEVER!" Riser retorts as his fiery aura flares up. "Most of my peerage may be wiped out, but that does NOT mean that you can defeat Riser Phenex, for I am IMMORTAL!"
"Tch!" Rias conjures up more of her aura. "Just stop it, Riser! Do you really believe your own hype that much?"
"I AM THE HYPE!"
Rias rolls her eyes at his outburst and continues to attack him with her aura.
~Back to Izuku and his friends~
"I don't understand!" Ravel shouts at Izuku, disbelief visible on her face. "What exactly do you mean by 'your secret plan'?!"
Izuku kept his serious stare on her, not at all phased by her yelling.
Kiba and Koneko keep their attention on their friend, as they too wanted to know more about his "secret plan."
"Simple," Izuku began. "With Yubelluna being the juggernaut of your team, I knew that she'd be your trump card because of those two bottles of Phenex Tears, which I knew you'd give to her just in case."
"What?!" Ravel's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You know of our family's hidden treasure?!"
"Of course," Izuku answered nonchalantly. "While I was training for ten days, I took some time in each day to study your family and learn about their reputation, their 80 to 90% immortality, their weaknesses, and their special healing tears. It's something I like to call: getting to know your enemy before engaging them in combat."
Everyone stared at Izuku with astonished expressions.
"Hot damn!" Kiba said. "I had no idea you took some time off training to learn about the Phenexes."
"Peek-a-boo! Ufufufufu~."
Izuku suddenly blushes and felt his body was in danger when a pair of female hands cover his eyes for three seconds before they removed themselves from them. The four Devils turned around and saw that it was Akeno, who waved at Izuku, Kiba, and Koneko.
"Akeno-senpai! You don't look injured!" Kiba exclaimed in surprise as he noticed that there wasn't a single scratch on her skin.
"But of course," Ravel's eyes widen in horror when Akeno pulled something from her breast pocket. "All I had to do was use these Phenex Tears on myself, and voila! My injuries were all healed, and I've been given enough power to finish her off. Ufufufu~."
"WHAT?!" While Kiba and Koneko were surprised at Akeno's explanation, Ravel was the most shocked of them all. "But… How did you get a bottle of those?!"
Akeno wraps her arms around Izuku's neck and nuzzles her cheek onto his while looking at Ravel.
"Simple. My favorite kouhai here pickpocketed a bottle from Yubelluna while at the same time injuring her, making her use the last bottle she had to heal the injury caused by the cutie. He then secretly gave the bottle to me while whispering in my ear his plan on how to defeat the Bomb Queen."
Ravel takes two steps back from the Gremory Devils, her irises and pupils contracting in fear at how Yubelluna was defeated. She was at a loss of words at this point.
"It's like I said, Ravel," Izuku says, snapping the Phenex Devil's attention back to him. "I knew she'd be your trump card because of those Phenex Tears, and that she was the strongest of your group. Because of that, I hatched up a plan to deal with her, and it worked."
Ravel could now be heard shivering, in both anger and in disbelief.
"How long… How long have you had this planned out?!"
Izuku lets a confident smirk form from his lips as he crosses his arms in front of his chest.
"I've had it planned out ever since I found out about your Phenex Tears."
~Student Council Room~
Both Sona and Tsubaki stared on at the young man, completely flabbergasted at Izuku's secret plan.
"To think Midoriya-san could be quite the strategist…"
"Midoriya-kun…"
Ibara was trying to hold in her laughter at how Izuku's plan made Rizers little sister to be so mad.
~Rating Game battlefield~
"Alright, folks!" Izuku says to his team, getting their attention. "We're at the final stretch now! Let's get to the rooftop of the new school building on foot so Riser doesn't blast us in a group and aid Rose with all of the power we got!"
""Right!"" Kiba and Koneko say in unison.
"Ufufufufu~. Your wish is my command, Sergeant Izu-kun~."
Izuku couldn't help but roll his eyes at her joke.
'Oh, brother.'
With that set, the Gremory Devils began their movement towards the new school building.
"Wait, hold on!" Ravel shouted at the Devils. "Are you guys really going to fight him?! Keep in mind that-"
"Just shut up and watch, Ravel," Izuku interrupted, shooting her a stare. "After all, that is what you like to do in the Rating Games, right?"
Ravel takes a step back from his words and slightly widened her eyes at the tone in his voice. She then pouts and looks away from him, not bothering to stop them as the Devils run towards the entrance of the new school building.
When she heard them open the door and close, entering the building, she looked back towards them at the building.
'Jeez. To think the Gremorys would make it this far because of him.'
As the four Gremory Devils entered the building, Izuku puts a hand up, signaling them to stop.
"One moment, guys. Promotion: grant me the power of a Queen."
After saying this command, Izuku can feel the traits of a Knight, Rook, and Bishop flow through him.
"Alright," Kiba says with a nod. "Now that you're promoted, you ready to get up there and win?"
"Not yet, Kiba," Izuku answers. "I still have one more thing to do. I've been thinking about it for a while during our walk here, and I've made up my mind about it."
The three look at Izuku with confused expressions.
"Ara? What do you mean, Izu-kun?"
Akeno's question was answered when Izuku lifts his Boosted Gear embedded arm towards himself, gems aiming at the ceiling.
"Oi, Ddraig. If you can hear me, speak up. I have something I want to talk about."
{I am here.}
Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno jump a little when they hear Ddraig's voice booming out of the gauntlet. The gems shined bright green with every word he says.
{What is it you wish to talk about?}
Keeping his narrow eyes on the gauntlet, Izuku says to Ddraig:
"I want to make a deal."
