*BOOM
When the sword plunges into the earth itself, it causes a great tremor and earthquake while debris from the ground flies all over the place. The nearby gymnasium was not spared as it got destroyed and pounded cause it was near the epicenter of the impact. The earth also ruptures as ground protrudes like a spike or doritos and the wind generated by the impact causes dust to cover all of the football field making Koneko and her opponents stop fighting as the visibility is not convenient for fighting closed combat. The glass window of the nearby School building shatters like glass as it should be, from either the debris or the wind generated by it and it causes some visible cracks to appear in the surface wall of the academic building.
The baseball field where the Trio of Watchers was also not spared, the dust coming their way forced the trio to avoid it by flying up using their devil wings except for Valerie as she uses her blood manipulation to create wings for herself. To add to their reason for flying up is to get a clear view of what happened cause Rias' winged familiars around Kiba got killed by the flying debris and they also don't want to dirty their Kuoh uniform. Cracks also appeared in the field up to the 3rd base luckily the Tea table and chair that Akeno created were spared and even if they were destroyed Akeno could just snap her fingers to re-create it easily.
"Wow! That is a lot of damage" Rias said admiring the damage that Kiba causes with just a giant ass sword plunging downward. She then started imagining if that Giant Sword was plunging downward from a higher vantage point like maybe as high as the Tokyo Tower. The whole replica of Kuoh Academy would probably get destroyed
"The audacity of naming it as Sword of Damocles. is he not scared that Gods or any higher being going after him?" Valerie said casually.
"Do you really think that's the real Damocles?" Rias' question raised an eyebrow while looking at the sword getting visible as the dust settled down.
"I know it's not the real one Idiot King" Valerie retorted while giving an eye roll to Rias. "I'm just saying that some dumb idiot God would think that this Damocles is the real thing without even confirming it cause you know they are Idiot and would do some dumb idiot things like going after him or us." She ranted as the sword became visible to the naked eye.
"Oh. I see what you mean but I think if that really happens we are far stronger than we are now, so those dumb idiot Gods that you're talking about would be easily killed by us" Rias shrugged as she said that and Oreki was there too as he is not going to pass up a chance of killing a god again even though he said that the god Dionysus killed himself. Rias still thinks that forcing a god to kill themselves is a win in her book.
"I think Kiba did not really mean to name the sword Damocles" Akeno interjected with a smile on her face while looking at Rias "I think he is just being a chunni," She said teasing Rias a bit but it was ineffective as Rias is a shameless otaku around her friends.
"I see, I see, Kiba is really becoming a man of culture" Rias nodded sagely while smiling proudly as she got reminded again that Kiba started reading manga and ero-manga in his spare time instead of brooding on how to get revenge on the people that killed his friends.
Valerie then change the subject back to the giant ass sword "The sword only got buried almost halfway which means Kiba was not able to use enough force to bury it deep in the earth though if he did, it will cause even more destruction." She said after observing the sword more and doing to calculation on her part. She too also started imagining like Rias what would it look like if the Sword was plunged downward from a higher vantage point "And the sword's quality is not that good yet" Valeries muttered to herself but Rias and Akeno heard so they looked at the sword more intently which made them see that the Damocles is already crumbling apart.
"Well, practice makes perfect" Rias said with a smile while nodding sagely as if she said a meaningful word.
"But nobody's perfect. so why practice?" Valerie retorted with a smile as she looked at Rias' waving her eyes brows
"Except me and my future with Oreki" Akeno added with a smirk on her face.
"Oh shut it," Valerie and Rias told off Akeno.
"Riser-sama 6 pawns and knights have been eliminated" Grayfia's voice rang throughout the battlefield
"Good job Gasper" Valerie shouted at the communicator with a smile on her face as she was the only one paying attention to Gasper's fight as Rias and Akeno were busy watching Koneko and Kiba.
"Thank you for the praise Valerie-nee-san" Gasper's voice rang in Trio's ear and they could tell that he was quite happy with the result"
"Sorry, Gasper I was not able to watch the fight" Rias' apologized sincerely "All of us will watch the reply after stomping Riser" She added with a smiled
"Okay!" Gasper's voice sounded happy in the communicator.
"Speaking of Riser, the little bird is coming towards us fufu," Akeno said while pointing at Ravel and Mihae's approaching figure via flight instead of walking.
"Valerie you know what to do right?" Rias asked with a smile as she knew had been itching to fight but not before reminding her that she shouldn't hurt Ravel too much cause Oreki liked the girl.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her too much" Valerie reassured Rias as she flew toward Ravel and Mihae.
"Well then let's watch Koneko finish her opponents," Rias said while both of them decided to just hover in midair while watching the show.

Before the announcement
As the dust settled, Koneko stared at the giant sword plunge into the ground with awe and looked at Kiba who was gasping for air looking at her too. Kiba gave her a thumbs up before sitting his ass down on one of the protruding soil. to relax and wait for her to finish her own fight with Riser's peerage.
"Show off," Koneko said in a flat tone but she was happy that Kiba won his battle, so now she needed to focus on her own battle and finish them in one fell swoop
The trio of Xuelan, NI, and Li also look at the sword with awe, especially Xuelan because she reads wuxia from time to time as a hobby and wishes she could wield a sword like that. then realized something was amiss after looking at it for a while.
"Where are they?" In sync, Ni and Ki asked in a panic voice as they tried to look in the direction where Siris and Karlamine went but the only one they saw was Kiba which gave them a foreboding thought that they were already eliminated and the announcer Grayfia was just waiting for the right moment to announce it all of the Kuoh Academy replica.
"Riser-sama 6 pawns and knights have been eliminated" Grayfia's voice rang throughout the battlefield. This makes the twins panic even more as they are the only ones here.
"What should we do?" Ni asked.
"Should we retreat now?" LI asked.
"Don't panic! Ravel-sama and Mihae are here" Xuelan said in a relaxed tone while looking up, There Ravel and Mihae were flying towards the enemy in the baseball field and not to them which is okay in their mind cause seeing them here just gives them a morale boost,
After seeing Ravel and Mihae heading toward Rias' and Co. Xuelan became even more determined to finish the fight, she stared at Ni and LI before saying "Ni, LI distract her while I do my thing" She smirked at them which made them gain more confident as they knew what she is going to do.
"leave it us" Ni and LI shouted in determination as they rushed toward Koneko.
