...
in the next second, Badr's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unexpected change occurred.
Under everyone's gaze, Badr's body suddenly manifested a shadow, and then, to everyone's astonishment, another "Badr" separated from Badr's body...
Everyone: "!!!"
...
In the broadcasting room, besides Grayfia, were Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra from the student council.
"President, does Rias really stand a chance? No matter how you look at it, there's too much of a disparity in combat strength."
Tsubaki Shinra adjusted her glasses, showing a lack of confidence in Rias side.
Sona Sitri naturally understood this and could only sigh lightly:
"There's no choice. Rias has no retreat. She can only give it her all."
"President Rias servants are excellent, and Badr occupies two [Knight] positions, so he must have some skills. But even so, they are too outnumbered, with not even a single [Pawn], and only one each of a bishop and a rook..."
Tsubaki Shinra continued her analysis:
"If Riser's 8 pawns break into the main base, all 8 pawns could transform into [Queens], which would directly end the battle."
"We can't underestimate Rias. Let's see to what extent she can command..." Sona Sitri said.
Her gaze swept over the clubroom where Rias was, and suddenly her expression froze. She couldn't help but push against the table and stand up!
"What? This is..."
The student council president was staring at the magic-formed broadcast screen with a look of surprise.
Tsubaki Shinra also looked over, her eyes widening in surprise as she murmured:
"What's going on? Why are there two [Knights] for Rias?"
Not only Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra, but all the forces observing the Rating Game were also slightly surprised and focused on Badr.
In the alternate space, the old school building.
Badr, who had just understood what the replica of Kuoh Academy meant, suddenly saw another version of himself split from his body the next second.
This situation left him stunned for a moment.
At this moment, he felt quite peculiar. It felt like he had gained a doppelganger, but Badr knew very well that both were himself, both the original!
"What's happening?" Asia rubbed her eyes, looking at the two identical Badrs in front of her, thinking she was seeing things.
Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou were also puzzled.
Only Rias showed a contemplative expression.
"Could it be... because of the dual class?"
Badr also carefully sensed his condition, finding no loss in his combat power. On the contrary, he now had double the combat power!
"It seems I've discovered an incredible secret." Badr couldn't help but smile slightly.
Rias couldn't hide her excitement either:
"Badr's class is [Knight] + [Pawn], which I've always thought was significant. I didn't expect it to lead to such an unbelievable change..."
Akeno Himejima also understood:
"Because Badr holds two classes, and the Rating Game is divided by class, after entering the game, two 'Badr' appeared, one as a [Knight] and one as a [Pawn]?"
"This situation is unprecedented, but it's the most straightforward explanation right now!" Rias was overjoyed, feeling a sense of double happiness...
Badr said softly, "And it seems to be more than that..."
He clenched his fist, his lips curling upwards:
"Although the classes are divided into two, both my bodies can still use the powers of both classes... and the Sacred Gear."
Everyone's eyes lit up!
"So... both versions of Badr have the effects of [Knight] and [Pawn]?" Rias was thrilled again!
This was terrifying; it was practically cheating!
"Ara ara, it really seems incredible..." Akeno Himejima smiled.
"That's great."
"That's amazing!!"
Koneko Toujou and Asia were both very happy; Badr had indeed given everyone a big surprise.
In the broadcasting room, Sona Sitri slowly sat down, still showing a bit of disbelief.
"So... Rias had her own [Pawn] all along? And a Devil piece with dual classes?"
"So that means Badr actually used two [Knights] and eight [Pawns] to become a Devil?"
Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra were both shocked by this revelation!
At this moment, the forces watching in the background were all dumbfounded.
Rias had always kept Badr's class a secret, so everyone thought she hadn't found suitable [Pawns], not even her brother, the Satan, knew about this!
Finding her own pawn was one thing, but using eight pawns at once was another. Moreover, having a [Knight] and [Pawn] as the same person, and keeping such an important matter hidden!
Now that the battle had begun, the secret could no longer be hidden. Rias and Badr had silently revealed a huge surprise, stunning everyone.
"Grayfia, make sure Badr is kept safe in the battle. Don't let anything happen to him."
Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the four Satan of the Underworld, immediately gave instructions to his wife, Grayfia, his [Queen].
In the Rating Game, although seriously injured players would be transported away immediately, accidents had happened before, such as when one side got carried away and ended up killing the other.
Now, Badr's appearance was seen as a rule-breaking event, and Sirzechs would definitely take it seriously.
"Alright! Now let's arrange our tactics! Badr, let me command the battle. First, tell me your original plan so I can coordinate with your actions!"
Rias seemed more confident now.
Badr smiled and pointed to the school map on the table.
"My original plan was simple: you defend while I break through and transform, then execute a decapitation strike. This is the only way for us to win with a weaker force, but it would put a lot of pressure on us.
However, with the doppelganger, things seem much simpler, and we can change the plan... The core of the plan is - exchanging positions!
Rias, I need you and Asia to hold off Riser's [Queen], even if you don't defeat her."
Everyone was stunned.
"Wait... Rias is the [King]!" Akeno Himejima said. "You want her to face the [Queen]?"
That was supposed to be Akeno Himejima's job.
"Yes, and Badr, if Riser's eight pawns break into our base and all transform into [Queens], we have to defend our base," Rias reminded.
"That's true." Badr smiled, "So, before the exchange of positions, you need to support me from behind and first eliminate all eight pawns."
Everyone: "..."
Indeed, if there were no pawns left, what was the point of defending the base? Even if Riser got the base, he could only stare blankly.
the question was, could it really be that simple?
...
According to Badr's current arrangement, the prerequisite is to deal with the eight soldiers first.
Then, Rias can confidently go to stall the [Queen], allowing Akeno Himejima, this powerful [Queen], and Koneko Toujou to go together to deal with the enemy's bishop, rook, and knight.
As for the opposing Riser, the [King], that task naturally falls to Badr, this lower-class horse!
However, Badr, this lower-class horse, may not necessarily lose to Riser, the upper-class horse!
After weighing everything, Rias agreed to Badr's tactics. As long as they could first eliminate the opponent's eight soldiers, she would go to deal with Riser's [Queen], leaving Riser to Badr.
As for Badr, having two bodies means he can do more.
To make it easier for Rias and the others to distinguish, Badr still considers the body before separation as the main one and the subsequently separated body as the clone.
And there's a plan he must carry out now, which is to undergo [Promotion].
This is free power; wasting it would be a pity.
Since the powers are fully linked between him and the clone, both bodies can undergo [Promotion], so he just needs to let one body lurk and act opportunistically.
Before the opportune moment for [Promotion], the other body can also help Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou, easing their burden.
Rias quickly arranged the battle, sending out Badr, Akeno Himejima, and Koneko Toujou.
Badr had the clone lurk, while the main body walked with Koneko Toujou towards the central area of the school.
There was a sports field there, visible to both sides' main bases due to the lack of obstructions.
This central area was a contested spot crucial for both sides.
So, Badr and Koneko Toujou arrived to ensure Riser wouldn't easily seize this advantageous position and gain an early advantage.
Akeno Himejima flew high at Rias command, casting a powerful illusion over the entire main base to prevent the enemy soldiers from sneaking in unnoticed, which would easily be detected if they got too close.
Meanwhile, Badr and Koneko Toujou partnered up and headed for the sports field.
"I smell enemies," Koneko Toujou whispered upon detecting the scent of enemies inside the sports arena before they approached.
Badr nodded gently, walking in calmly first.
"Hehe, here they come, Gremory's servants."
In the sports arena stood four charming young girls. There was a sister-type Devil in a cheongsam, a pair of identical twins, and a petite loli, all previously defeated by Badr.
Seeing Badr, the petite loli instantly showed an unhappy expression, glaring angrily at Badr, clearly still holding a grudge from her previous defeat.
The enemy's formation consisted of one [Rook] and three [Pawns], with the cheongsam-wearing beauty being the [Rook], similar to Koneko Toujou.
"The rook is mine, the soldiers are all yours," Koneko Toujou directly allocated the opponents.
As the saying goes, professionals should deal with professionals. In a [Rating Game], pieces generally prefer to fight those of the same class to demonstrate their own potential and prove themselves.
Of course, there are also teams where the [King] issues unified commands, focusing on tactical cooperation. There are many varied tactics in the Rating Game.
The [Rook] assumed a martial arts stance, and Koneko Toujou, wearing gloves, took the initiative to attack.
Meanwhile, Badr was directly surrounded by the three soldiers.
The twin sisters pulled out chainsaws from who knows where!
Bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz...
The chainsaws roared to life, making Badr raise an eyebrow.
They looked quite cute, but they liked playing with chainsaws.
"Dissect you!"
The sisters spoke in unison, seemingly excited.
Without a word, Badr summoned his Sacred Gear, the King's Sword, slashing upward from below to block an incoming chainsaw. Sparks flew as the metal clashed.
"Ah!"
The girl fighting Badr cried out, feeling pain in her hands and numbness.
She didn't expect Badr's simple sword strike to be so powerful, almost making her drop the chainsaw.
Badr spun in place, delivering a flying kick faster than the girl's reaction, sending her flying.
