Chapter 104 : Minamato

Hearing what Issei said made Ravel wide her eyes before she nodded slowly with a blush and a smile on her face.

"Ise..." She tested his name softly and quietly so that both males don't hear her.

"Fine, Riser will call you Issei if you stop calling Riser that stupid name." Riser answered Issei making him chuckle.

"Do I need to beat you again so that you lose that 3rd person speech?" Issei questioned with a raised eyebrow again as he summoned his gear, making Riser flinch a bit as he still had nightmares about his defeat from the Red Dragon.

"As... if you could do that..." Riser tried to sound confident. But to both Issei and Ravel, they could clearly see and hear that his confidence in front of Issei was almost none existent, though they both ignored it.

Looking at the box that Ravel gave him, Issei opened it to see what was inside of it, and to his surprise, it was a cake that from the look of it and smell must be delicious.

Seeing that Ravel was looking at him, she was waiting to hear his thoughts about her present and most likely about the taste.

Deciding to put her worries to rest, Issei took the small cake that she made and took a bit of it. As soon as he tasted it, his eyes went wide as he only tasted good food from 2 more people, his mother and Lucy.

But, it looked like Ravel was genius in this department also, as he felt the cake melt in his mouth with all sweet flavors filling his taste bumps with pleasure.

"Ravel this is...wow I didn't know you can cook, this is fantastic." He complimented her making the poor girl have an atomic blush.

"T-thank you Ise." She barely managed to say as Issei just patted her head, prompting steam to go out of her ears making Issei chuckle as he remembered that Lucy also has the same reaction as Ravel when it comes to patting head.

"Your welcome Ravel and thanks for this delicious food." Issei said as he looked at his phone seeing that his hour break was almost over, and the next part of his test was about to take place.

"Well looks like my break is over. See you, later guys." With that said Issei completely stood up and started to head to the castle only too stop when Ravel called him.

"Issei...umm...would you mind having some tea and cake with me some time in a near future?"

She shyly asked him while blushing prompting him to look at her before he smiled and nodded his head making her blush even more while smiling from ear to ear.

"Sure, if you treat me to this delicious food, I'm more than happy. But now sadly I must get going. Bye." He said as he turned around and was about to walk away but stooped again as Riser this time called him.

"Issei, our mother would like to talk to you after the exam, when you finish your fight do come here again and someone will come to take you to her." Riser explained prompting Issei too look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Why would she want to talk to me?" He questioned.

"Don't know, she asked us to give you her message and she said that she hopes that she could have a chance to talk to you." Riser replied getting Issei to surge.

"Fine, I will do it." With this answer, Issei finally left for his combat trail leaving the brother-sister duo to go back to their own devices.

As Issei entered the great chamber again, he was in his thought about what Lucy said to him, it was something he looked forward to doing though, knowing how devils operated it was definitely something loony that would await him when he decided to take her as a wife.

Though before he could pounder about it more. Lady Phenex, or should he say, Sierra, entered the room again followed by same men and women that were with her before.

First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for doing the first exam without even a single unfair or unworthy thing. You have my gratitude. Now onto the 2nd part of this exam.

The combat will be done on the open field just behind the castle, and like I told you earlier the combatants for this will be randomly selected to give fairness to all of you. Now, don't you all worry, even if you lose the battle, give it your best.

You can still pass of course if your written part is good to get to Middle-Class. It is known that nobody is good in everything, some of you may excel in combat while some may in the brain.

Now if you all follow me to the next field.With that said all of them exited the castle and went to the battlefield.

"The winner of the battle is Teodor, candidate 557." The referee announced as the small green haired devil bowed to his opponent and to the older devils and withdraw from the field.

"Next fight is between Issei Hyoudou of the Gremory Household and Minamoto Samata of the Amy Household. Both combatants are Pawn pieces as such you are allowed to promote into the piece you want."

The Referee announced again as both Issei and his opponent came out on the field.

Looking at his opponent, Issei could see that male in front of him looked a bit similar to him.

Minamoto was a bit taller and skinnier than him and where Issei had brown hair and brown eyes, he had black hair with black eyes giving an eerily look that made Issei sweat a bit.

Both of them quickly took their battle stances and waited for other to make the move, while they awaited the announcement to begin this battle.

Issei was told by Raven that he was forbidden from using his gear to boost up before the fight as that would give a very large disadvantage to others.
