The Wish Of The Dragon 88 Chapter 87
Everyone in the stadium could hear the content of Irene and co talk since the whole area went quiet when they arrived.Joan was very surprised after knowing that both Jeanne and Jalter are her "Ancestor" aka the first generation of Jeanne D Arc. The same goes for the others as well such as Cao Cao, Vali, etc.Joan wanted to have a talk with them but she's afraid that she might offend them in some way so she could only hold it in for now.Zeoticus and co, as in the parents' party wanted to greet them but Sirzechs told them maybe it would be better if they greet them later on just in case they're still having a bad mood.Irene then saw Odin who's feeling kind of down so she becomes a little curious as for why he looks so gloomy even though he usually acts more carefree as in a perverted old man...Irene - What's wrong with him?Irene pointed at Odin and asked Grayfia who's standing nearby because she's been told by Sirzechs to stay nearby of Irene and co just in case they need something.Grayfia looked at the direction where Irene is pointing and saw Odin looking gloomy.Grayfia - Well... The thing is...She was hesitating if it is okay to tell Irene about Rossweisse case but then she thought that it doesn't matter since it's no secret anyway.Grayfia then told Irene and co just what is causing Odin to look so gloomy.After Irene and co heard the story they become speechless.Jalter - Pfft...Jalter almost laughed out loud but manages to hold it in.Grayfia eyes twitched a little hearing Jalter "scoff" because she thought that Jalter is laughing at Odin's suffering. But the truth is she just finds it laughable because the one they're searching for is currently safe and sound while feeling over the cloud at the same time.Irene thought that they indeed forgot to inform Odin about Rossweisse well being. So she decided to send a message towards Odin.Irene - [Don't worry, the one you're looking for is safe and sound, I guarantee it.]Odin who heard the sudden sound appearing on his head becomes alarmed and instantly snapped his head towards Irene because he recognizes that voice belongs to her.Just when Odin wanted to say something he saw Irene making a hushing gesture towards him and he swallows back his words after seeing that. But he keeps looking at Irene asking for an answer and that made some of the onlookers' feeling curious, such as Grayfia herself.Irene then stopped looking at Odin much to the latter impatience. If it were anyone else then he would've forced them to tell what they know right away but since the other party is clearly someone he couldn't mess with he can only hold it in... He cares that much about Rossweisse after all.Then Azazel and the other factions leader made a speech for the opening of the rating game...
It's your typical "Thank you for coming here blah blah blah...", so Irene yawned in boredom while the other girls either closed their eyes or talking with each other such as Millet who closed her eyes mediating, Ramius and co talking with each other, Gurigura who's happily eating the puff cream bread that Issei gave her for snacks...Although they seem to be doing their own business without paying attention to Azazel and co speech, there's not a single one find it disrespectful since they have the power to back it up, even Sirzechs and co let them be... Well, more like they don't want to annoy them, to be honest...Only Rias frowned a little thinking that Irene and co are acting arrogant but when she's about to look at them, her gaze accidentally intersected with Jalter who appeared to be glaring at her with a terrorizing glint on her eyes.That manages to make Rias body shiver greatly because she can sense the immense bloodl.u.s.t Jalter has towards her.Rias hurriedly averted her gaze because she felt extreme trepidation just by locking her gaze with Jalter for a few seconds alone. Her heart started beating erratically in terror and she also started sweating profusely...Akeno and co who saw Rias face suddenly look deathly white and disgruntled asked in concern but Rias doesn't dare to say anything about Jalter gaze just now so she can only say that it's nothing much to Akeno and co dismay...Look and behold, her supposed boyfriend along with the other guys are too busy sneaking a peek at Irene and co direction thinking that their gaze went unnoticed by them.Rias and co decided to pay less attention to their respective boyfriend during the rating game because there are a lot of eyes out here and they don't want to let anyone know about their little affair. They also already told Reiji and co to act more reserved than usual as not to attract too much attention to them.Reiji and co are a bit confused at first but they soon accepted their request and they have to say they're liking this "Ignoring" thing a lot since they can easily feast their eyes on other beautiful girls they see.They didn't know about Rias and the other girls being engaged to Issei so it's only natural they are clueless about this... But this ignorance will be their doom... Sure, sometimes ignorance is bliss but not this time...Irene and the other girls obviously noticed their gaze but they let them be... They're about to die anyway, so what's the use giving a warning to a dead man walking...Reiji and the other male onlookers' on the stadium felt like they can never get bored gazing at them just sitting there... They all are drop dead gorgeous they all thought to themselves... They're feeling envious and indignant knowing that all of these beauties are already taken.They wish they could replace the lucky man who's able to get them all for himself... Shameless! They all said aloud inside their minds... Can't he share some of them as a fellow brother? Some of us are still single here man...Some of them had their eyes bulging to the maximum threatening to break free from their eye sockets after looking rows and rows of the heavenly mountains up there with their nose bleeding profusely and that earned the nearby female partic.i.p.ants spat of disgust...Some tried to take a picture stealthily but for some unknown reason, their phone or camera suddenly broke on its own as in their screen goes cracked completely...At some point, Sirzechs and co asked Irene if she wanted to make a speech of her own but she waves it off because she's not interested to make one in the first place. She just told them to hurry it off and start the game already...They finally started the rating game soon after that... They have a random matchmaking system with Sirzechs trying to tinker with it so that Rias and co don't face off against Irene's team.He's sad to say this but he hopes that their team loses against the other teams before they are faced off against Irene... It's not like Sirzechs is hoping for his beloved little sister team to loses but he has a bad premonition that if Rias's team were to face off against Irene's then it won't be anything good because it seems like Irene and co have something against Rias and co and he doesn't know why...Unknown to him is that Irene is also tinkering with the matchmaking system without anyone realizing it...She set it so Rias's team only fought against some weakling team to boost their confidence... Won't it be the best if they were in the highest point only to be dragged down instantly to the bottom with utter humiliation at that? Heheheh... Irene smirked to herself...And with that, Rias's team fought against some weakling team and her team had a winning streak that made their confidence soar to the maximum thinking that they would be winning this rating game soon enough.Although, Rias and co know better because they have yet fought against their biggest obstacles... There's also Vali team, Sairaorg team, Cao Cao team, etc... But the biggest obstacle they ought to face is Irene's team.Reiji and co are the ones that feeling complacent thinking the other partic.i.p.ants are not much apparently. They are basking in the fake limelight without knowing that their doom is near...Rias and the other girls thought that they should let them be to boost their confidence.The way they fight is like they're showing off their capabilities but unbeknownst to them, their performance is average at best compared to the other team.Sure they manage to earn the squeal of some naive young girls from the audience thinking that the way they show off their fight is cool but for the seasoned fighters such as Vali team and the likes it's just meh...Of course, the one they wanted to impress the most is Irene and co. They thought that Irene and co are interested in them because they keep looking at them with a "Smile"... Well, more like a mocking grin or bloodthirsty grin, but Reiji and co are too oblivious to notice that...The arena where they fight is separated from the others so Reiji and co didn't know the true capabilities of another team such as Vali and co. They know they are strong but they thought since most of their opponents are just this much they thought that Vali and co strength isn't that far either.Only the defeated team could observe the fights while the one who's still partic.i.p.ating are unable to watch them... It is arranged this way so it would be fair for the partic.i.p.ants so they can't set up a strategy to face off against their respective opponents... It also serves as a test to see the limit of their mettle.Obviously, the audience can also watch their fight.Irene's, Shiva, Sirzechs and co are the only exception for this since the former two are the strongest partic.i.p.ants here so it doesn't matter if they watch the other team fight or not. While the later ones decided to just stand down from this rating game and become the observer instead...They were planning to partic.i.p.ate as well but because of the recent cases such as Issei's disappearance, Rossweisse disappearance and more, they finally canceled their idea of partic.i.p.ating.Irene and co barely pay any attention to the other fight anyway. Kathryn is the only one a.n.a.lyzed their fighting style for a longer amount of time before losing interest because their fighting skill is only so-so... Their biggest obstacles ought to be Vali and the other G.o.ds team but it is still manageable.Sure the team such as Vali, Sairaorg, Cao Cao, etc are the better ones but they still haven't unleashed their full capabilities yet since the enemies they fought are a bunch of weaklings... It's not her being arrogant but they are quite sure the amount of fighting experience they have is quite ahead compared to most of the partic.i.p.ants here.They fought against a lot of G.o.dly being after all. Odin the all-father and his army is one of them... It's safe to say that Kathryn and co defeated quite a bit of G.o.ds and Demi-G.o.ds back then even if they need to work together to defeat them.And it's not rare for them to have a spar with Issei and Scathach themselves. Both of them are the best of the best when it comes to close quarter combat training. Semiramis taught them about some magecraft and Forzelotte taught them how to efficiently handle their mana.Issei also invented a lot of new skill just for them.They can use their respective
...The spectators are wondering if Vali and his team are able to forces Irene's team to let out their true strength. Even Sirzechs and co are hoping that Vali has equal power with them at the very least. That way they can have a little bit of rea.s.surance if the worst scenario were about to happen...Kuroka - Nyawn~ this should be a quick fight...When they arrived at the arena Kuroka nyawned in boredom seeing the next match-up. Vali and the others didn't refute her words because they know that they are on the losing side.Irene glared at Vali or to be more specific at Albion himself.Vali and the others got confused by that thinking did they offend her in some way? Except for Kuroka who sniffled a laugh because she knows the reason for that. The same goes for the other girls on Irene's team.Albion who's residing inside Vali shuddered after feeling her glare for some reason.Irene - So... I'm guessing that you don't remember me, Albion?Albion - ...Albion tried his best to remember why Irene seems so familiar so he doesn't answer her question less they anger her even further.Irene - ...I will take your silence as a yes then...She mumbled while gnashing her teeth knowing that Albion doesn't remember her... Not she's the one to talk even though she also forgot about her own gender a while ago...Vali - ...I wish to challenge you.Vali suddenly speaks out of nowhere towards Irene herself which managed to surprise the spectators and his team members alike.
