It starts out with some tension!

Issei stared in delight as Xenovia and Irina shed their Exorcist robes, revealing skin tight black bodysuits underneath. He had to hold back his drool at their generous bodies... it was almost a shame that he was going to try to use Dress Break on the outfits. "Just so we're clear, this is a private duel, not a conflict between factions," Xenovia told Rias. "So don't take offense to any injuries we inflict upon your servants."

"So long as you don't take offense if and when they beat you," Rias replied, giving Kiba a concerned look, realizing he likely wouldn't calm down without this duel.

Xenovia readied herself as Rias warned Issei to beware the Holy Swords, simple spar or not, Irana holding her blade in katana form out. "I shall test the power of Gremory's servant, and out so called Sen-" Xenovia started to declare, before pausing as she noticed Kiba laughing. "... what's so funny?"

"The very thing I sought to destroy so desperately has practically fallen into my lap... It's quite exhilarating," Kiba confessed, smirking.

"...I had heard that someone from the project escaped being disposed of," Xenovia noted with a grimace. "That's you, isn't it?"

As Kiba's expression darkened, Issei snapped his gaze to him. "If you get us zapped by Akeno, I'm kicking your ass later!" he told Kiba, not putting it past Akeno to consider him guilty by association just to satisfy her sadist cravings. He then turned to Irina. "Sorry in advance for anything that happens during this fight, but I'm aiming to win."

Irina sighed. "It's such a trial, finding an old friend has become a Devil, but by overcoming this trial, I will step closer to true faith. Come, Issei-kun, I will judge your sins with this Exaclibur! Amen!" Issei grimaced at the prayer, but kept his composure.

"Alright, let's do this!" Issei declared, bringing out his Boosted Gear, triggering the first Boost.

Irina and Xenovia froze. "A Longinus..." Xenovia recognized.

"The Gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor," Irina noted. "To find it in such a place..."

"You'll get more than a few injuries if you let Issei distract you!" Kiba shouted, swinging a blade at Xenovia, who dodged.

"Tch, three Sacred Gears in this Peerage, all labeled heretic Sacred Gears. It seems you all becoming Devils was inevitable," she stated.

"My power is also the power of my comrade's hatred and regrets!" Kiba shouted. "And with that power, I will smash your Excalibur to pieces!"

"Here I come, Issei-kun!" Irana declared, charging Issei, and swinging with fast, precise slices that even with all of Issei's traumatizing training, he found somewhat challenging to dodge. He was going to need more Boosts, then go for a Dress Break, for now though, he would focus on dodging. "...you have a lewd expression on your face... what are you up to?" Irina questioned.

"Careful!" Koneko said flatly. "Issei has a technique that- mmmph!" Koneko flailed comically as Raynare rolled her eyes and caught her in a Full Nelson, and covered her mouth.

"Yeah, I like Issei more than both you and the Church ladies," Raynare stated dryly, not mentioning that she was quite bi, and wanted to see Irina naked at least as much as Issei did. Fun fact about Raynare... she was an even bigger pervert than Issei. She just hid it way better. One of the benefits of being a skilled actor with centuries of practice.

Issei mentally thanked Raynare as Koneko tried to get loose, but Raynare was surprisingly strong, not as much as Koneko, but she had the advantage of leverage. Rias then stated, "Koneko. Not a word." Koneko deflated, and Raynare let her go, letting her cross her arms and puff her cheeks at being foiled as Issei kept dodging, activating another Boost.
