How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories

"Masaru-sama..." Akeno took hold of Masaru's hand while his back was against the wall, he did not regret his actions as those two people needed a wake up call for once in their lives but he was simply acting like a spoiled brat back there. 'I really need to talk with someone' Masaru thought, his nightly activities with Akeno and the girls were helping him to release his frustrations but sometimes even that little thing could drag out all those frustrations that were about to go gone back up once again. Masaru pulled Akeno into a hug, "Sorry you had to see me like that"

Akeno shook her head, she really did feel fear not for Masaru but felt fear he might change after this event as she never saw him become this angry, he was always strong in enduring but she realized now, her master was strong but he too had a heart that need to be supported. She held dearly onto Masaru not wanting to let go, Masaru felt her warmth closing his eyes to relax a bit unknowingly he fell asleep despite it still being school time.

"To think he would snap at us like that" Zeoticus spoke with Lord Phenex, the two of them were kicked out of their rooms by their wives and told to reflect on their actions despite they could not cancel the engagement because that would then really make them a laughing stock, Lord Phenex nodded while taking a sip of his drink "Honestly I felt anger when he yelled at us like that, but now that I look back I can really understand how foolish we really were"

"Kuku, I thought Sirzech was only trying to stand up for his Sister because of his Brocon tendencies but to think it was really Masaru who told him that, guess we became a bit too greedy" Zeoticus spoke looking at the skies, Lord Phenex nodded. "I wonder if I should have Ravel--- No, he will scold me again if I push Ravel on him without her consent" Zeoticus began laughing at his friend who corrected himself halfway.

After they calmed down themselves, they too began to realize their actions and how it reflects back on their families. They could not change anything now, but they at least know how to move forward once the Rating Game is over.

Masaru was brought home along with the girls earlier than normal and is currently sleeping peacefully with the girls around him, they were quite worried when they heard what happened so they chose to stay together with Masaru while he sleeps. Akeno explained what happened to Diana who sighed thinking her boy was growing up, she was worried he never really threw a tantrum like normal boys do nor did he disobey her so this event at least made her felt relief that he was acting his age for once. Akeno went up stairs to join the girls as she too could not bear to stay away from Masaru at this moment,

Diana contacted Diehauser explaining the situation to her, "He did that? I should talk---" Before he could continue Diana interrupted him, "Don't you think of lecturing him Diehauser... Masaru has already reflected on his actions and honestly I am grateful for what happened because at least for once my son acted his age, made a mistake like a child his age and learnt from it. I rather let him at least lose control over his emotions at a young age than when he loses it when he is older" Diehauser who heard this could only agree, even Calfa next to him told him she will kick his ȧss if he touches Masaru.

The fact Masaru was too much of a kind and good boy did worry them despite them being happy and proud about it at the same time, they could now see he was growing so from now on they could support Masaru with his way forward.

Later that night Masaru woke up seeing the girls sleeping peacefully around him warmth his heart, he started to think about his actions today some were good while others were bad, he took a deep breathe and already realized the most important thing that was the cause of this situation was the fact he was handling too much on his own. And he decided once the Rating Game was over, he will introduce his girls to Ulrika and have them know about his actions from the dark, it might be cruel but he needs more people he can trust to help him during his missions in Khaos Brigade.

'Just what rights did I have to scold Sirzech... Even I mistook my love and cage these girls without me realizing it' Masaru thought with a wry smile, [This is what we call growth boy, in the mentality that is...] Masaru chuckled softly, 'You really like to come out at the weirdest times' [Because I am watching you boy, every step you take, every choice you make... Watching you move forward in your life is quite entertaining to me, and seeing you grow bring me joy I can cry] 'You--- It can't be that serious' [Naturally not] Masaru was floored, this dragon really is something else. [And I agree, it's time you introduce the girls to the cruel side of the world before it is too late] Masaru nodded, looking at the girls he made a firm choice to introduce them to his work in the shadows.

Just like this the week was quite uneventful since Rias and her peerage were all gone to training, Sona was pushing herself to stay busy to prevent herself from becoming stressed out because of her friend's predicament, she even visited Masaru everyday for chess to check up on him since she heard from Rias how he was furious. Masaru naturally felt embarrassed, it was then he understood the term "Black History" from the depth of his heart, he was really foolish that day but he will not apologize since what he said were not entirely wrong either it was just that he should have done it in a better manner.

The Girls became interested in S&M plays as well so Masaru advised them to wait for a while since he, himself is still getting used to this kind of play himself he did not immediately start allowing them to experience it first yet. The girls instead made sure to have him spoil them to which he oblige since he loved the girls dearly, and the day of the Rating game has arrived and a special space was created using the Kuoh Academy as the Landscape for the Rating game. It was quite detailed as Masaru and his peerage all decided to use the Student Council Office as their place to relax and watch the game.

"How do you think Rias will do this?" Sona asked while drinking the tea Tsubaki made for her, "Well, from the looks of it she is totally using her head for once... She is even utilizing the fact Riser is looking down on her and her peerage because they are no complete... Not to mention Rias is really lucky this time..." Masaru spoke as he looked at the figures moving to their locations, "Lucky?" Masaru smiled meaningfully, "The fact Riser is not using his sister the correct way... Haven't you noticed, every time she tries to give a suggestion he reprimands her? Just looking at his body language and gestures you can see he is angry and taking it out on her by taking complete control with no suggestions from any of the girls... This is a Alpha Male"

"Alpha Male?" Sona looked at Masaru who laughed, "It's simpler to call him a Lion who laze about while his lionesses does the work, all he is good for is impregnating them and eating the food they bring for him" Hearing this the girls of Sona's peerage all blushed, Saji nodded agreeing with this statement while Masaru's peerage giggled thinking this explanation really does fit Riser.

[This a official Rating game between Rias Gremory and Riser Phoenix, the layout is Kuoh Academy. The Base for Rias will be the Occult Club----] Grayfia spoke monotone about the rules and location of bases, currently Rias was looking at her peerage. She felt more calm and relaxed when she remembered she trained hard for the past year thanks to her best friend's reminder and was thankful to her friend Masaru who presented her a chance to break off her engagement she wanted to break many years ago.

The teams were set Issei and Kiba will be heading for the Gym to draw Riser's peerage members there to contain them, Barold will be in charge of the tennis field which is close to the Occult Club room to guard the Base as a Rook while Sara will move around the battlefield taking out any members that split from their teams. Asia however was pushed to hide in the tennis club storage room with a special necklace to prevent her from being detected, this location was close to where Issei and Kiba was, as well as where Barold was. This way she can immediately run to aid those who get injured in combat instead of being hold up with Rias in the base.

Masaru naturally gave Rias some Healing, Stamina & Magic Recovery potions in order to advertise his created products that might not be as effective as Phoenix Tears but it is still close to it. Because Masaru knew the Phenex team will have tears on them and say it was because there was no rules prohibiting it and he felt he should also play dirty aiding the team he want to win since he dislikes Riser's attitude.

[Let the game begin!]

Masaru leaned back on the couch while Shirone was currently resting on his ŀȧp, since everyone was used to this no one complained. From the looks of it three pawns and rook from Riser team decided to meet up against Issei and Kiba, the fight was quite hard for the pervert but Masaru saw a strange glint in his's eyes before he called out his technique "Dress Break!" Masaru was shocked, this godly technique, he may dislike Issei's perverted attitude but shredding the clothes of women and give public fan service 'I approve' Masaru thought since he will never have the guts to do such shameful things so openly, he is the heir of a big family after all.

"Disgusting..." Shirone muttered when she saw what happened, Ichika came to wipe the blood from Masaru's nose before anyone noticed but Akeno touched her lips feeling just as surprised, "Ara ara, I wonder if Masaru would want to do that with me?" The girls looked at Masaru daring him to say it, "Yep, but in private instead. Don't want others to see what is mine after all" Masaru answered causing the girls in his peerage to nod feeling happy while Sona and her peerage was not sure how to take this. "But this technique... Is this boy going to walk this direction? Sure he will become quite famous among girls but in a bad sense that is..." Masaru spoke while laughing, it really was just to funny as he never remembered this event at all and seeing it was just hilarious. Shirone made sure to lightly pinch Masaru, "Don't become like that" Masaru gently ċȧrėss her ears causing Shirone to flinch and even mȯȧn a little causing the kitty cat to blush.

[Three Pawns and One Rook of Riser team Retired]

Just when the announcement came out Issei and Kiba came out suddenly were under the attack of Siris and Karlamine the two knights of Riser along with Isabela, "It seems it is true, you have trained hard... Knight of Gremory" Siris spoke as she was feeling happy that Yuuto dodged her attack at the last moment, Isabela was looking at Issei who managed to boost enough to handle her direct attack with his hand. "Oh ho? Your the same type of fighter as me huh?" Issei could only stare at her bȯȯbs thinking how he could rip them out for him to see them, Karlamine who saw Issei's lecherous eyes could not help but comment "Is he a pervert?" Yuuto bowed "I'm sorry for my friend"

Sudden the two knights and Yuuto started to engage in a fierce sword fight, "Sword Birth!" When Kiba stabbed his sword into the ground sudden blades of swords began to erupt from the ground up causing the two girls to have no other choice but to take flight which was what Yuuto wanted, he trained something interesting his Sensei told him what Masaru did. "Sword Birth!" Yuuto conjured several swords mid air using his demonic energy to make the swords float like flying swords before sending them off like arrows, Karlamine was unfortunate as the sword attacks was simply unexpected totally unimaginable that she would expect him to create such a attack with his sacred gear.

[Riser Team: One Knight Retired!]

"To think you would create such a bizarre attack method with your sacred gear as if your shooting bullets of Magic" Siris commented while hovering in the skies, Yuuto took his stance once again "It is because I have a senior brother who trained under the same Master that I have to at least live up to his expectations... Otherwise I will not only bring shame to my master but also to him" Soon the fight between of them took off in the skies.

Issei and Isabela was currently combating quite close to one another, but because Issei was redicilously weak he could not dare take a hit from her so he was forced to scramble around while dodging the dangerous attacks. It was when Issei managed to get a hit in touching her close he immediately called out his technique clicking his fingers "Burst Open! Dress Break!" Even Siris who was fighting Yuuto was distracted at the sight of Isabela's clothes being blown off allowing Yuuto to to take her down.

[Riser Team: One Knight retired]

Hearing this notification distracted Isabella as well allowing Issei and Yuuto to take her down swiftly as well.

[Riser Team: one Rook Retired]

>/<

"What the hell is going on!?" Riser was screaming out of Rage, his plan was to have his peerage handle the low level mobs while he will go towards Rias's base. But the successive retirement messages with no one from Rias's team falling out and only his began to make him desperate, it could only be his own fault for looking down on his opponent and not listening to his sister's warning. 'Should I have listened to Ravel? NO! I am the king! I never lost before because our family power make us immortal!' Riser materialized his fire wings and flew off to face Rias in hopes to redeem his reputation.

>/<

"To think Rias grew this much" Zeoticus was watching the Rating Game, he naturally knew Masaru told Sirzech not to cage Rias so she could spread her wings and to think this was the results of only one year of training made him realize just how much time they wasted as she could have possibly become a Ultimate Rank by now like Masaru if she trained hard from a early age. "It's good to see her actively moving forward... It's about time" Venelana spoke feeling quite proud of her daughter who stood up for her own Dignity.

>/<

"He was correct, my son has truly been overboard with his arrogant attitude and it is reflecting on our image" Lord Phenex spoke, because Riser was pure blood and pure bloods were rare in the past he could not bear to scold his children since they were important to the Devil world, but he was reminded of Masaru's words he could only agree that this needs to end. "I will leave the education of Riser to you, but I am removing Ravel from his team after this... To think he would release his frustrations on her is simply unacceptable!" Lady Phenex spoke

>/<

[Riser Team One Bishop Retired!]

"I did not expect you to know where we were" a busty woman with long, wavy purple hair that falls all the way down her back and matching eyes spoke to Sara who was in front of her, "You simply are paying for looking down on us Yubelluna and Ravel" Sara looked at the twin drill blonde hair girl looking at the two of them 'This is bad, with how we underestimated them we are losing too rapidly' Ravel thought, she wanted to turn things around but Riser will simply tell her to keep quiet so she could only endure this humiliating match and hope it ends fast. 'It's him... Why do i feel I am seeing his shadow behind Rias Gremories team?'

Suddenly the fight between Mages started, Sara never had a problem with using her fallen angel powers which caused Yubelluna and Ravel to have trouble dealing with the light/Holy element of Sara's attacks, even their phoenix tears were extremely limited. This standstill motion continued but soon the battle tilt to Sara's favour as she was consuming the potions Rias gained from Masaru which ȧssisted her in replenishing her mana, "That is unfair!" Ravel screamed but Sara revealed a rare smile "Same goes for your phoenix tears so kindly leave" Suddenly the amount of light spears went beyond their expectation as Sara release them.

[Riser Team: Bishop & Queen Retired!]

>/<

"Did you give them the potions?" Sona asked Masaru who was enjoying his snacks, Masaru nodded "yep, I am using Rias to advertise my products for everyone to see. With this Phoenix Tear supplies will be less in demand allowing them to have a breather, my potions can then be used during Rating Games since it is not a instant potion it will suit the Rating game much better allowing us to use Phoenix Tears only in places where it gets real dangerous like real battles"

"Your really shrewd business man" Hearing Sona's comment Masaru laughed, "I am only using this to my intentions since the two families can allow this as a form of Compensation for the trouble they caused" Masaru looked at the game "But, I am more surprised at Yuuto's growth, to think he learnt a new way to make use of his sacred gear instead of just stab and summon all the time that is simply too predictable"

>/<

"Issei, you need to learn some other technique... That... Move is not right" Yuuto spoke as the two of them were heading to the tennis courtyard to meet up with Barold, "WHY!? It took me so long to learn it and I succeeded after Asia made so many sacrifices for me!" Issei complained and refused to give up on his Godly Technique Dress Break which allows him to see Tits legally since it is after all a disarm magic spell.

Sudden another two pawns appeared in front of Kiba and Issei, "We can't lose anymore" Marion spoke while sending off magic bullets towards Kiba forcing him to enter a defensive stance as he wanted to know if this girl had any other tricks, mean while Issei was jumping and leaping past trees dodging the demonic Bullets from Bulent like a complete amatear. "What is up with this boy? HEY! Stop moving and obediently just retire already!" Issei felt his fighting spirit surge as he scream "I refuse! I have not seen enough Oppai in this match yet"

"huh?" "Huh?" The two girls looked at him as if he was a madman while Kiba only bowed apologizing to them, but using this chance Issei took his stance when he charged enough boosts "Take this! Dragon Shot!" By gathering his energy molding it into a sphere in front of his right hand, when he punched it with his left gauntlet fist the sphere turned into a bright beam destroying everything in it's path as it heads towards the two unfortunate pawns who were taken by surprise.

[Riser Team: Two Pawns Retired]

It was only when Issei heard Grayfia's voice he collapse on the ground with dead fish eyes, mumbling "But I did not use dress break on them... Oppai.... Oppai.... Oppai.... Oppai...." He suddenly breaks down crying his heart out feeling injustice, how could he be so stupid although Kiba felt surprised as he thought his friend was being smart using his perversion to create a opening, he never thought of doing such despicable things but he could give a thumb up for Issei being smart. Although poor Kiba totally misunderstood the entire thing.

>/<

While Sara, Yuuto and Issei was returning to the Tennis court, Barold was already dragonified like his family's power of dragon's symbolized, similar to Nero Brune of the Military he could transform into a humanoid dragon while he was having a hard time dealing with Ni and Li, he knew once punch can knock them out right away but they were simply too fast and their natural reflexive sensitivity because of their cat nature allowed them to dodge attacks with more ease.

But the moment Sara arrived it was simply a one sided battle even with Shuriya who was together with the two nekomata's could not handle the light/holy elements of Sara's attacks. When Yuuto and Issei arrived it was when the prompts came

[Riser Team: Three pawns retired]

>/<

"Now you see why I told you to go and be blunt with Rias? Just this small change has allowed her to change her fate, she has potential to begin with but needed someone to go up and smack some sense in" Masaru spoke, the match was a bit boring because the one side was simply too arrogant and complacent they did not expect Rias's team to be this skilled, it was only Issei that was a later comer that was still not properly trained yet which was also good because they judged the entire peerage as weak because of Issei. "Rias is really lucky, her enemies looked down on her and even mistook her peerage capabilitie because of new pawn... So it was really a match won because of her luck"

"Will things be fine?" Sona asked, this rating game was as good as won since Sara was still active even with his phenex bloodline, Riser was already doomed to fail. "It will be, this rating game shown everything the respective parties need to see. If this can't open their eyes then I will leave them" Masaru spoke seriously, Sona did not answer as she too thought it was true if this could not wake them up then what will.

Masaru watch RIser arriving at the Base of Rias only to find her entire peerage has been waiting for him, Masaru did not pay attention to what Riser was screaming, "You low level devils don't realize what you are getting involved in!?" Masaru only paid attention to Issei who stepped forward screaming quite a bucket load of corny lines. "You force girls to love you, force them to marry you! You treat them like dolls only to please your ŀust! You are not worthy of Rias Gremory, NO! Rias's vɨrġɨnɨtƴ is mine!!" 'Does this fool not feel ashamed of what he is saying...' Masaru felt cold sweat run down his back just imaging the embarrassment Rias had to endure, "Ara? It seems this boy is serious about chasing his master" Akeno commented, the girls in Masaru's peerage did not like Issei's perversion but supported that he is better for Rias than Riser, 'But Master is still the best' They thought as well.

[Game is decided by the Judges! Rias Gremory Wins!]

"What!?" Riser felt everything he planned came crushing down, Judges? "Who the hell is the judge!? I will kill him myself!!" Suddenly a projection appeared in front of Riser causing him to become limp falling on his knees with disbelief, it was his father. "Your a disappointment... As Head of the family I will strip you off your title as the third son as you no longer have any right to contend for the head of the family position... and your peerage will be separated from you till you show me some changes..."
