Chapter 4 - houses

Rizer couldn't help but smirk at the scene before him, where his beloved displayed a carefree confidence, flirting with both charm , playboishly navigating the delicate balance between two opposing houses. The playful banter and subtle power dynamics were intoxicating, and Rizer felt a surge of arragence watching his partner weave through the tension with an effortless grace, embodying both allure and cunning in their game of social chess.

**Rias:** Why are you here, Rizer…

**Rizer:** What do you think? Of course, I'm here for you. To join me and become my… mmm… how do I put this? Ah yes, my girlfriend. Indeed. ( Lustfully playing with his Queen )

Acetash: what a disgusting person...

/ Meanwhile Issei He stared at the queen's breasts moves/

Acetash ( looking at him like want to kill him yet)( sights and focusing on the Phönix house members )

**Rias:** You know I can't just be with someone like you, Rizer. You're a playboy with no boundaries.

**Rizer:** Oh, come on! You know that's part of my charm! Living life to the fullest, embracing every moment... who wouldn't want a little excitement?

**Rias:** Excitement doesn't equate to a relationship, Rizer. I need someone who can be dependable, someone who respects boundaries and doesn't just run around making empty promises.

**Rizer:** Empty? I assure you, my intentions are far from empty! You and I could have so much fun together. Just picture it: us, ruling the social scene, turning heads wherever we go!

**Rias:** Fun isn't everything, Rizer. Relationships are built on trust, not just playful antics. I've seen how you treat others; it's not what I want.

**Rizer:** But that's what makes it thrilling! I promise to be different with you. I'll shower you with attention, make you the center of my world—just give me a chance!

**Rias:** It's not about attention; it's about genuine connection. I appreciate your affection, but I need more than just charm and bravado. I need someone who can commit and support me.

**Rizer:** But I'm willing to change! Can't you see how serious I'm trying to be here? I could even tone it down—much more than I usually do!

**Rias:** I appreciate the effort, but it doesn't change who you fundamentally are. You thrive in chaos, and I need stability.

**Rizer:** So, you're really saying no? Just like that?

**Rias:** Yes, Rizer. I'm saying no. I value our friendship too much to complicate it with something that just wouldn't work.

**Rizer:** then. It's a shame… but I guess I'll just have to charm someone else.

**Rias:** Good luck with that! Just remember not to break too many hearts in the process, okay?

**Rizer:** No promises! But I'll keep you in the loop. ( Licking his lips )

/ He and his members leaves /

A week had passed since the strange experience that left Acetash feeling transformed yet deeply puzzled. As he walked alongside Kiba, the air thick with anticipation, he couldn't shake the feeling that something monumental was about to unfold. "What is happening..." he murmured, anticipation swimming within him.

"We have a meeting, a forum," Kiba replied, his voice steady as they approached the gathering. "Everyone must participate. President Rias asked for it." The tension in the air was palpable as they entered the assembly room, where familiar faces awaited them—Xenovia was polishing her sword with a determined glint in her eye, Akeno was playfully teasing Koneko, who was busy nibbling on snacks at the side. However, it was the presence of a new figure at the front that caught Acetash off guard.

"Oh God! Damn it! This is stupid!" he exclaimed, recognizing the brazen figure of Issei, who had a reputation for being both charismatic and reckless. Acetash couldn't believe that the wild card had placed himself at the forefront of a meeting so critical to their future.

"I'm here, my league, to serve you," Acetash said, forcing a casual tone despite his rising anxiety. "What is the subject of this forum?"

Rias, standing at the center, took a deep breath, her expression serious. "Today, we have an important subject to discuss," she began, her unwavering gaze sweeping across her friends. "It's about the Rating Games—our house must win the competition this time."

The atmosphere shifted abruptly, the excitement and camaraderie giving way to a focused intensity. Acetash's heart raced as the implications of the Rating Games sank in. The stakes were high, and their reputation as a house rested on their shoulders. A part of him felt an echo of dread, but the other part—ignited by the previous week's revelations—sparked with readiness for whatever challenges lay ahead.

Issei leaned forward, a fire igniting in his eyes. "If we're going to fully prepare, we need to train harder than ever. We can't let the pressure get to us; we must rise to the challenge!" His proclamation sent a jolt of adrenaline through the room. Acetash realized this was their moment, a pivotal turning point that could redefine who they were as a team and as individuals.

As Rias detailed strategies and formations, Acetash felt a purpose begin to crystallize within him. The shadows of his fears faded, replaced by the exhilarating promise of camaraderie and competition. He glanced at Xenovia, Akeno, Koneko, and even Issei, understanding that they were not just participants—they were his team, his allies in the impending storm.

With their combined strengths, Acetash felt a surge of hope, and amidst the serious discussions that followed, he knew deep down that this competition was not just about victory; it was about proving to themselves and to each other that they would rise together, a force to be reckoned with in the Rating Games.

Rias: Alright, team, listen up! Our first target is Phönix House. They've already lost two games, so we have to make sure we crush them again. It's time to remind them of their place!

Xenovia: Absolutely! I'll personally teach those scum a lesson they won't forget. I'll tear them to pieces! Anyone who dares insult our boss will realize they're signing their own death warrant.

Koneko: (smirking) And I'll back you up. They won't even see it coming. You know I love a good fight!

Akeno: (with a serious tone) It's not just a game for us anymore. Those bastards will learn that messing with my friends comes with serious consequences. They'll wish they never crossed our path.

Gaspar: (nervously but determined) I... I can't let them hurt my family… I… will defend you all until my last breath… until eternity!

Rias: That's the spirit, Gaspar! We stand united as a family, and together, we will show them they've made a grave mistake.

Xenovia: And when they see our strength, they'll think twice before challenging us again!

Koneko: (glaring) Let's make them regret ever stepping into the ring with us.

Akeno: (cracking a devilish smile) Let's go out there and show them our true power!

Rias: (nodding) For our family and for our pride! We fight together, we win together! Let's give them hell!

Issei: (pumping his fist in the air) You know what, guys? I can already see it! I'm going to crush Rizer and his house! I mean, just imagine it—me standing tall, the ultimate victor, with everyone cheering my name!

Xenovia: (rolling her eyes) Issei, focus! We need strategy, not just daydreams.

Issei: Strategy? Who needs that when I have sheer determination! I can already picture myself charging at him, the flames of victory surrounding me, while Rizer helplessly watches as I snatch that title from him!

Koneko: (smirking) You do realize he's not going to stand still and let you do that, right? You'll need more than just a fantasy to take him down.

Issei: (grinning) Oh, come on! I just need my Boosted Gear and a bit of luck! With the way I'm imagining our match, I could take Rizer down in no time. And when I do, I'll show everyone that I'm the real deal!

Akeno: (teasingly) Just don't let your head get too big, okay? Great victories come from teamwork, not just bravado.

Issei: (dramatically) Teamwork? Psh! I'm the hero of this story! I'm going to be the one who defeats Rizer and puts him in his place!

Rias: (smirking) Well, as long as you remember you're part of a team, we might just make your fantasy a reality, Issei.

Issei: (pumping his fist again) Right! Together, we'll show them what we're made of! Rizer won't know what hit him! Victory will be mine!

Acetash: (fuming) I can't believe how arrogant Rizer and his house are. They think they can just waltz in and take what's ours? Not on my watch! We have to show them what real strength looks like!

Issei: (enthusiastically) That's the spirit, Acetash! We need that fire! But remember, it's not just about rage—it's about strategy too!

Acetash: (narrowing his eyes) I get that, but every time I think about Rizer's smug face, I just want to tear him apart. He needs to know that he's not invincible, that there are consequences for underestimating us!

Xenovia: (nodding) Trust me, Acetash, we all feel that way. It's time for us to band together and outsmart him. We have what it takes, but we need to channel that fury into something productive.

Acetash: (taking a deep breath) You're right. I need to focus. This isn't just about vengeance; it's about showing everyone that our resolve can't be broken. We will defeat Rizer, and we'll do it with style!

Koneko: (smirking) Style? Just make sure you don't go in there reckless. Play smart, and that anger will fuel your strength.

Akeno: (grinning) Exactly! We can use that determination to surprise Rizer. He won't see it coming if we work as one.

Issei: (pumped up) Together, we'll not only defeat him but do it in a way that they'll remember forever!

Acetash: (determined) Alright, then. Let's train harder than ever. Rizer won't know what hit him, and when we win, it'll be a victory worth celebrating!
