With the battles decided the young devils were told to disperse, each heading back to their own residence in order to prepare themselves for the rating games, whether that be by training, trading or looking through the documents regarding each peerages strengths weaknesses and battles records
Once they were back at the Gremory residence Azazel started informing the group about the arrangements that he had made for their training
"First we will start with your training" stated Azazel, pointing at Rias "as the king you shall be mostly focusing on building your experience leading battles and learning strategies, as such you should spend most of your time in the library watching rating games and going over the different battles that have happened over the years and how the side that won was able to do so, and what strategies they enployed in order to secure the victory, come up with methods that the other side could have used in order to turn the tables"
"That is what I planned to do" responded Rias firmly "I also plan to further strengthen my destructive bael power and my moon based Gremory powers with Blaze's help"
"A good idea, increasing your base strength will always benefit you" praised Azazel "next is Akeno, you need to get used to your new powers while also accepting your orginal powers"
"With my new strength I no longer feel the need to rely on my my fathers bloodline, I can use my mothers now" Akeno humphed
"Using your mothers bloodline powers is good but rejecting your fathers will only make you weaker" noted Azazel "look at Rias, she now has access to her Gremory bloodlines power but she does not rely on one or the other depending on the situation, you need to do the same and accept both sides of your bloodline
"...." Akeno wasn't able to respond, going deep into thought due to knowing that Azazel was right but still being unable to accept her father completely
"Koneko, you need to do the same and accept your bloodline" Azael moved on "if you don't you will never truely be yourself and be able to bring out your full power and you will always be missing a part of yourself"
"I know" Koneko replied quietly "but I am afraid and need time"
"We'll always be here for you if you need mental support" Rias smiled
"You can rely on your big sisters" added Akeno, the words big sister casuing Koneko to flinch slgihtly
"Thank you" she mumbled quietly
"Next are Kiba and Xenovia, you will be training together, Kiba you will learn how to use the holy part of your holy demonic swords better and how to execute more powerful attacks, and Xenovia you will learn more techniques and how to weild your sword more skillfully"
Kiba tunred to Xenovia with a smile "I'll be in your care"
"Likewise" responded Xenovia
"Finally Blaze, your training will be focused on improving all of the areas that you already accel in, improving your power, stamina and contol over your abilities" Azazel said
"Sounds pretty easy compared to the rest of the groups" Blaze commented
"There is more" Azazel continued "you will be doing this all at a gym in the city and you will be wearing gym clothes specifically made by Venelana, this will allow you to increase the amount of lust energy you have thereby making you stronger at a faster rate, causing your training to be more efficient" he explained, producing a set of clothes and passing them to Blaze
"At least because I'm in public it's not so bad" mummbled Blaze as she looked at the designs "plus it looks pretty good, I can work with this"
"Good, the Gremory family have spread the news that you will be training at the gym and so there will be alot of people coming to see you, this will help increase your mental fortitude and get you used to being in front of a large crowd, something you will have to get used to now that Rias is your fiance" Azazel commented
"Great, so I have to workout while I'm looked at either like a rare animal because of my relationship with Rias or looked at like a sex symbol so that I can get stronger" Blaze sighed
"Just imagine them as vegetables that you can cut down" suggested Xenovia
"Or as sweets" added Koneko
"Thanks for the advice" Blaze replied with a wry smile
"We can start our training tomorrow though" declared Rias "for now lets go an enjoy some sight seeing"
"Before you go" called out a voice, revealing herself to be Venelana "another part of Blaze's training will be learning about the underworld and devils culture, if she is going to be your fiance Rias having the looks to match yours is important but having the knowledge to stand by your side is necessary"
"How much stuff will I have to learn?" Blaze asked nervously
"Enough that you and I will be spending alot of time together" Venelana teased
"Do you have anyway of making this easier for me?" Blaze questioned Herm in her mind
"If you make a contract with her you could make it so that the cost of the contract is her knowledge making it so that you can skip all of the studying" answered Herm
"She's a married woman!" Blaze responded in shock
"Yeah but she seems to be in an open marriage and I am fine with her being in two harems at the same time if you are" Herm giggled
""I guess I'll just have to put in the effort to learn" Blaze sighed
"The offer is there for you to make to Venelana anytime you decide that you want to take the fun and sexy shortcut" Herm smiled
"But that will start once you have been sight seeing, now go have fun" smiled Venelana, not knowing that Herm had already selected her as the next member of the harem.
