"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our participants, Riser-sama-" Grayfia was interrupted by a large explosion of fire in the middle of the Arena and Riser and his peerage came out.
As previously explained, a total of 16 members are present including Riser, the King of the Peerage.
"And Jiraiya-sama," continued Grayfia and this time a reddish-silver magic circle lit up and only 5 members stepped, Jiraiya being in the middle of 4 women.
In which 2 faces are familiar to some while the other 2 are unknown only being seen on the screen. While Miya and Roygun got recognised, Medusa and Alice were scrutinised.
"Welcome, participants. As you already know, this match is not in the Official Rating Game roaster, so it is considered as an Unofficial Rating game.
Last one standing will win is the only rule accepted by both parties in this game and it was approved by the Board. You have 15 minutes to prepare," said Grayfia.
"All the arrangements for immediate medical support were made so that participants can go all out. Both parties didn't choose any particular type of battlefield.
So an Arena selected by the Board at random will appear in a few seconds while your strongholds will be specified. The Rating Game starts after 15 minutes," Naruto said and the Arena was engulfed in gold light.
"15 minutes of preparation and strategizing time was allotted to both parties. Strongholds will be announced shortly," Naruto continued and as the light died down, it reveals their arena.
A peaceful village replaced the barren land Jiraiya and Riser stood on with lush trees and water flowing through canals with a serene atmosphere.
"Jiraiya-sama's stronghold is the Publications office to the right end of the village while Riser-sama's is the mansion to the left end
Please move to your respective strongholds. The Rating game will begin after the 15 minutes strategy planning time," said Grayfia and Jiraiya and Riser moved to their respective strongholds to plan.
With Riser's Group
"Ok, girls. I want you to put your all and win against Jiraiya-sama. Remember the reward we will get if we win!" Riser said, motivating his Peerage and cheered 'Yes, Lord-Riser!' Except Ravel.
'I hope you take everything this seriously, brother,' thought Ravel as she knew how much training his brother and peerage did to win against Jiraiya-sama.
"I want you all to go into his territory and promote yourself." He said pointing to all his Pawns who nodded determinedly.
"Yubelluna, stand behind and assist them wherever needed. Which Pieces does he have?"
"A Rook, Pawn, Knight and Bishop. I think that magenta haired woman is Bishop. I don't know which Piece he gave Roygun-sama," Ravel said from what she analysed. Riser raised an eyebrow at Ravel's respect for Roygun.
"She is the former Head of House Belphegor, brother. She is also top 2 in the Rating game roster. Didn't you know?" Ravel asked with a huff.
She knew her perverted brother wouldn't bother if he can't reach any woman's level as to avoid wallowing in inferiority.
"Okay. Just be careful around her. I don't know about the other 2. Jiraiya-sama uses Mist magic?" Ravel asked.
"Illusion magic is what Father said. So think twice before you strike as it might be an illusion," Riser corrected and ordered. As the time for strategizing completed, a green light lit over the Arena.
"Go. I'll be watching and will come to your rescue if need be," said Riser and with one last cheer for victory, they dispersed.
