Strategy Works
"Honourable Elders, Lords and Ladies of Pillar Houses, Ladies and Gentlemen! The time for strategizing is complete." Grayfia said through the speaker.
"Participants can now start the Rating Game and as it is an Unofficial one, they can use as many pieces as they want," Naruto continued they heard many cheers and most of them were for Jiraiya.
Though a few cheered for Riser as well. "Looks like Riser-sama has made his first move. We can see all his pieces move towards Jiraiya-sama's stronghold."
"If they manage to pass the publication trust entrance, which is considered as enemy territory, all Pawns can use Promotion. What a clever strategy." Naruto appreciated.
"What do you think Jiraiya-sama is up to? I heard he is a good strategist." Grayfia asked, turning to Naruto.
"Why haste, dear. You will see it soon. If I know anything about him, this match will be interesting." Naruto replied cryptically with a smirk and Grayfia pouted.
In Rating Game Arena
Jiraiya's Strategy
'Medy-chan, use that technique I taught you and make them believe you were my Bishop. When they approach, show your strength and dispose of them,'
'Yes, Master,' Medusa said with a deep bow.
'Miya-chan, show your power and eliminate his Knights. From what Alice-chan brought, his Queen might be problematic, Medusa will deal with her,' said Naruto (Jiraiya) through telepathy and Medusa nodded again.
'Roygun, take care of Ravel for me. That poor little girl may be in his Peerage, but I don't want her to feel humiliated,' Naruto ordered and Roygun nodded.
'Whose left, take care of them. Gather blood from all battles before you attack. I don't want to expose your full power, Alice-chan,' Naruto said and Alice nodded.
Rating Game Begins
As planned, all of Riser's Pawns were on their way to Jiraiya's entrance and once they get promoted, other pieces are going to join them and they would storm Jiraiya's hideout.
But much to their dismay, explosions started to rock the area and this confused all the Pawns. Yubelluna isn't supposed to follow them. As they looked around in confusion, they saw a lone figure similar yet different to Yubelluna with glowing gold eyes and light magenta hair walked towards them. Her impassive look is terrifying.
Ile, Nel and Ni and Li didn't sense anything coming and what happened next shocked them.
*Boom* The woman said and the area beneath them exploded.
"4 Pawns of Riser Phenex Eliminated," Grayfia announced and Naruto smirked.
'Looks like Medy-chan took to it like a fish to water.'
"What have you done! How dare you dismiss our sisters like that. I'll kill you!" Bülent, one of the remaining Pawns said in outrage. Medusa gestured to them to attack and they attacked her.
Explosions started to rock the area as in their haste, the remaining 4 of them activated many well-hidden traps. But with expert ease, they managed to evade all of them. They were upon the woman in seconds with their weapons out, ready to charge at her in glee. Poor girls didn't notice Medusa's glowing hands.
With Riser
"What! How did 4 of them got dismissed like that? Something is not right. Did he anticipate their move?" Riser asked no one. Listening to this, Ravel chose to butt in.
"Don't be ridiculous, brother. How smart Jiraiya-sama maybe, he can't be that far ahead of my strategy. It might be some kind of mistake, that's it. They might have underestimated. We still have numbers advantage and you trained them well, remember?" Ravel argued and Riser couldn't counter that.
"Perhaps I should intervene?" Yubelluna asked, from her position on Riser's back.
"Nonsense. There is no need for such haste decisions. We still have time. We will wait and Riser has confidence in our girls. They will pick up." Riser said confidently. Ravel and Yubelluna nodded in confidence.
