Chapter 224 - Meeting the new council

The incident about the cursed contract was over and all the girls congratulated Rossweisse for finally being in a relationship and although she felt that it was a bit wrong as it was because of the contract the other girls cheered her and told her to just go with the flow and not think too much about it.

All of them soon returned back to Kuoh as their trip was finally over and now the devils were preparing for their next event after their relaxing trip, the youth rating games.

Isami who had been defeated by Sairaorg once was now thoroughly tortur- trained by the others along with Saji who was also training under Tatsuya as he requested him to train him once again.

Rossweisse as well was Now being trained more severely so as to not being overshadowed by the rest of Tatsuya's group. There was a new determination in her as the tortur- training was actually doing wonders for her making her enthusiastic as she had something new to focus on.

Tatsuya himself was Now quite busy as he had taken a week long vacation and was now back to his hectic life with his clones back to work.

The other noteworthy things that happened were Ravel joining the Kuoh academy, much to Koneko's annoyance though she was now a bit happy as her classmate nekoshou gave her some tricks for her growth, which made Tatsuya slightly sad.

A few days passed by and currently Tatsuya and his group were preparing to vo to the Underworld for the rating game between Rias and Sairaorg.

Tatsuya looked at the girls and said, "Okay we will be going now but make sure to not cause any trouble and you two-" while pointing at Ruyaa and Ophis, "Don't let anyone know your identity by releasing your aura, I have already suppressed it but don't go overboard because of that. And you Kuroka just ignore anyone who try to mess with you I have already asked Sirzechs to clear your name so there won't be any problem. And last but not the least Asia, don't pick a fight with someone who try to accuse you for Diodora."

All four of them just nodded their heads in approval.

Tatsuya nodded as well and looked at Rossweisse who made a magic circle to underworld.

A few moments later all of them appeared in front of a building which they presumed to be the stadium where the rating game was going to take place.

They were about to walk in but suddenly all of them heard a voice, "Hey, so you guys finally came, huh."

They turned around and saw Azazel coming towards them along with Sirzechs, Grayfia and Serafall

All of them greeted each other and said, "Yup, so anything interesting going on?"

Azazel shrugged his shoulder and said, "Nothing much just meeting with some gods for peace and all, nothing of your interest. So who are you betting on for today's game."

"Sairaorg, but if Rias has some cards up her sleeves then the matter is different."

Hearing that all three of them were surprised and Azazel asked, "Immediate answer, you really don't believe in your friends much, right?"

Tatsuya shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have overseen the training of two of Rias's teammates and I have been in contact with the others of his group as well and given pointer to all of them, so I am more than aware of their powers....though Gasper can change the whole situation of the game if he used the move which I taught him at the right moment."

This time even Tatsuya's group got curious hearing what he said and Sirzechs asked, "What move?"

Tatsuya smiled and said, "Where is the fun in telling you now, wait for the surprise."

Sirzechs just sighed and nodded his head but soon he turned back to his cheerful self and said, "Don't worry Ria-tan will surprise you all." He then looked at Tatsuya with a smirk and said, "You are not the only one who have been giving pointers, even Ria-tan is serious this time and has asked for help from her Onii-chan!!!!! Though someone doesn't let me enjoy those moments." and glanced towards the silver haired maid standing behind him.

Grayfia glared at him and said, "You were fooling around the whole time on the first day she came to asked for your guidance, as a maou it is totally unsightly seeing you acting like that and it is also my job to make sure that you do your work on time."

Sirzechs wanted to refute but just as he saw the ice cold glare from Grayfia's eyes he immediately turned around and said, "Well let's get going, the match could start any moment now." and started walking towards the stadium.

The rest of them didn't thought much about it and just followed behind him but soon all of them stopped when they saw a group of people coming towards them.

Sirzechs looked at the group with a smile and said, "Good evening to you Lord Bael, are you here to watch your son's match?"

The new devil council just stopped and looked towards Sirzechs and the group behind him. Lord Bael then looked back at Sirzechs and said, "No, we just came to check whether the preparations were well made or not afterall a lot of people from other factions will be coming to see our rating games from now on."

Tatsuya looked at the new council and saw some familiar faces in the group though seeing someone there immediately made him fell like punching the person's face and the fake smile on the person's face while looking at him just made the feeling even stronger.

The said person just came forward and said, "It's been a while right, Shiba-kun."

Tatsuya smiled back and said, "It certainly has been quite a while Lord Gremory, looks like you are a council man now. Congratulations."

"Ha Ha Ha, Thanks a lot for that, they just wanted some experienced personnel after someone killed most of the council men during the youth meet, and miraculously even I was selected."

'You mean by bribe right?' Tatsuya thought.

Tatsuya who was still smiling said, "Well, whatever might the reason be you still became a council man is a thing to celebrate. I just hope the thing that happened to the previous council men don't happen to you."

And immediately Zeoticus's smile got a bit stiff but he still said, "Yeah, I hope so as well. Right, we still had a lot of work to do, so shall we get going gentlemen."

The rest of the council looked towards Lord Bael who just nodded and started walking away.

Once they were a not in their sight the whole Tatsuya's group thought at the same time, 'I really wanted to punch his face.'

Tatsuya looked at his group and said, "Shizuka you can now release Asia."

Shizuka released Asia's hand which was being held by her and said, "Why the hell were you crushing my hand?!"

Asia just smiled and said, "Ah, I just wanted to express my feeling to him with my fists. Sorry, got a bit out of control there."

Shizuka raised her hand which was completely swollen and said, "Are you calling this just a bit?"

Asia just playfully stuck out her tongue and then started healing Shizuka.
