"Rias, you should have beter control of what your low class servant says" Riser scowled
"My friend can say whatever she want's" Rias huffed, pretending to look to the side to go against Riser's words but mostly it was just so that both he and Grayfia didn't see how she was trying to hold back from laughing at Blaze's words
"Then as your fiance it falls upon me to correct her attitude" Riser claimed with a frown "Mira"
"Yes Riser-sama" replied one of the girls standing at his side, stepping forward
"Show this commoner the might of one of my specially selected servants" he ordered
"At your command" she said in agreement, weilding a staff and dashing towards Blaze, striking at her stomach
"What are you doing?" asked Blaze as the staff made contact, stopping instantly without seeming to do any damage
"What the?" exclaimed Mira, clearly expecting to send Blaze flying
"You're going to need something better than this if you want to hurt me" Blaze informed her, grabbing the staff and crushing it with her grip "maybe next time try spinning it as you're striking, I hear that improves a staffs strike, and for go- I mean satans sake use some demonic power if you're trying to actually do some damage" she said flicking Mira's forehead, sending her back to Riser's group
"Y-yes ma'am" Mira replied, a little stunned
"hrm, it seems like I underestimated you, it matters not, you are still a human and stand no chance against my mighty flames and regenerative abilities, I look forward to seeing you slowly fall to despair once you realise the gap between us" claimed Riser, his confidence returning in full
"Whatever you say mr oh-so strong and mighty" shrugged Blaze
"Let's go, I can;t stand to be in the human world any longer, the air here displeases me" he huffed, him and his peerage disappearing in a burst of flames
"He is definately compensating for something" Blaze commented after Riser had disappeared
"Maybe" chuckled Rias, unable to hold back a small laugh any longer "but his abilities are real, we will need to train hard in order to be able to match him" she said with a serious face "will you join us for a training camp, I have a private cabin in the mountains where we can train without worrying about normal humans seeing us" Rias asked
"Inviting us the a cabin in the woods with no other humans around, this is a great chance to spend some quality time with Rias" chuckled Herm
"Sure, when do we leave" replied Blaze, learning that ignoring Herm was the best way to deal with her
"Tomorrow morning, I will come to pick you up personally, make sure to pack tonight" Rias informed her
"A home visit as well, she wants you" teased Herm
"Ok, anything specific I should bring?"
"Just some clothes that you feel comfortable training in, I'll supply the rest"
"got it, see you then" Blaze answered
After Blaze had left Grayfia turned to Rias "your friend seems powerful and has an... interesting way of speaking" she said with a stern face "are you sure that you can trust her, she seems to be hidding something from you" she informed Rias, able to discern more due to her power but still unable to see what exactly it was that was been hidden from her
"I trust her" Rias replied with a determined face "and it is her potential to possibly become even stronger that I am currently betting on, and I believe that whatever secrets she may be hiding, they will not be anything that will harm us, I believe in my ability to discern what kind of person she is without using magic and my instincts are telling me I should trust her"
"If that is your descision I will abide by your wishes" Grayfia replied, bowing towards her "I look forward to seeing you again and wish you the best of luck in this coming game"
"Thank you Grayfia" Rias responded before Grayfia disappeared in a flash of magic
"Akeno"
"Yes Rias"
"We have supplies to gather" she said with determination and grace of someone who had made their decision, moving towards the exit
"Yes, we have much to prepare" said Akeno with a knowing smile, following behind her as Koneko and Kiba also got ready to leave, all of them having reinforced their determination to fight for their king and not feeling as tense about the fight due to how relaxed Blaze had seemed about the whole thing and how she could seemingly joke even with these circumstances
The room being left as if nothing major had just happened in there, the only indicator that anything had happened being the slight burnt smell in the air created by flames created from anger having been burning in Riser from Blaze's words.
