Something in the picture, obviously!

"...Issei... do you remember anything about this particular picture?" Kiba asked, showing it to Issei. Issei looked at it. It was an old picture of him as a child and some other kid doing Super Sentai poses in a church.

"Ah, that was a fellow kid who used to live in the neighborhood and went to the same prep school as I did," Issei replied. "We used to hang around a lot, and played Heroes together. He ultimately moved away because his parents worked abroad... why do you ask? You know him?" he questioned Kiba, who shook his head.

"No, I wasn't referring to your old friend," Kiba shook his head. "I was referring to this," he added, pointing at something in the background. Issei leaned in for a better look. It was a sword on display in the church.

"...I'm sorry, but I was very young at the time," Issei shook his head. "I don't remember if I even asked any of the priests or the pastor about it, let alone what they might have said about it... it some kind of famous blade you're looking for?"

"Something like that," Kiba said quietly as he closed the album abrubtly.

Rias meanwhile closed the album she and Asia had been looking at, and started to speak, "Alright then, if we're all done picking on Issei-"

"Never!" Koneko declared.

"-we have club activities to discuss. Most pressing at the moment is the upcoming ball tournament," Rias pressed on, taking a seat on the nearby couch.

"...ball tournament?" Issei questioned as he seated himself next to her. Asia sat on his other side.

"Yes. All the clubs will be participating," Rias remarked with a smile. "We don't know which ball game it will be though, that will be announced on the day of the tournament. So we'll be practicing all potential ball games it will be."

"Yes, this will include, but not be limited to, baseball, basketball, football, or soccer as Americans call it, due to having a whole different sport they call football..." Akeno ticked off on her fingers.

"Oh, what about dodgeball?" Koneko asked, making Issei freeze and pale. "PLEASE tell me it will be dodgeball..." she added, watching Issei whimper and curl up, rocking in a fetal position on the couch between Asia and Rias, the former comforting him and giving Koneko a dirty look.

"...you DO realize that this particular game will have you on the same team as Issei, and thus, you won't be the one who gets to try to nail him, right?" Kiba questioned, though his tone was absent at the moment.

"...well, as long as it's a possibility, I can always be on the opposing practice team when we practice it..." Koneko pouted.

"Quit traumatizing Issei!" Asia told Koneko in a snippy tone.

Akeno giggled. "Well, if it IS dodgeball, Issei will likely be our star player with all that evasion training," she mused.
