The wrong way to open the world of anime

Qingqiu didn't actually hold out much hope, and Zhitou Sona did seem to be optimistic about him, but her personality was different from Rias's.

The rational and calm Zhichu Cangna had no way of abandoning the responsibility of being the next patriarch of the Sidi family and his ideals, and completely tied himself to him.

Qingqiu's answer made Zhi Qu Cangna very satisfied. She no longer cared about the fact that she was the one who got close to Qingqiu first and even gave her body to her own queen.

As a result, after Rias intervened, Qingqiu basically stayed in the Occult Research Club.

"There are still two days until the ranking game. Do you want me to simulate it with you?"

Zhidou Canna didn't know about the bet between the two parties, but she knew about the engagement between the Phoenix family and Gremory.

Subjectively, she definitely supports Rias, but from the known information, it can be said that Rias has almost no chance of winning.

Even if Qingqiu joins the battle, the ranking game will definitely prohibit him from using the Tyrant Dragon mode.

She didn't know that Qingqiu and Rias's group had improved in strength during this period, and she wanted to practice with them out of kindness.

There is a saying that goes, "Sharpen your sword before battle, even if it's not sharp it will shine."

Qingqiu and Himejima Akeno smiled at each other, which made Zhitou Sona and Shinra Tsubaki a little confused.

The black ponytail swayed gently, and the deputy minister chuckled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, President Cang Na, but I don't need you to be my sparring partner."

Are you kidding? With the current strength of the members of the Occult Research Department, they can even beat Riser.

Not to mention that they were similar to Shichigo Sona and Rias, the personnel were incomplete, and they had never participated in a ranking game because they were underage.

When others help you out of kindness, you can't deliberately attack them.

Shichito Sona looked at Qingqiu and Himejima Akeno with interest, "It seems that you are very confident. Then I will look forward to the live broadcast in two days."

"Ah, ah, I hope I won't disappoint President Sona."

Himejima Akeno narrowed her eyes happily, and even her oral habits came out for a moment.

After coming out of the student union, Qingqiu was about to go back to the classroom when Rias' voice came from the soul network.

"Xiao Qiu, Akeno, Yuma, gather everyone. The notary and I have been teleported from the demon world."

Although it was called a call-up, except for Akeno Himejima, everyone else was in Class A of the second year. Even Naruse Mio and Maria, who transferred in later, were arranged to be in the same class as Aoaki.

Amano Yuuma was in the class at this time, so Qingqiu and Himejima Akeno simply went straight to the activity room of the Occult Research Club.

Entering the activity room, besides Rias, there were two other slender figures.

"The Minister, Miss Grayfia, and this..."

"Ravel Phoenix, just call me Ravel."

The beautiful blonde girl with two curved diamond-shaped ponytails glanced at Qingqiu and said coldly.

It turned out to be the sister of the Huangmao Roast Chicken. No wonder she looked familiar.

Listening to the girl introducing herself, the memories in Qingqiu's mind suddenly came alive.

Although he didn't like the yellow-haired roast chicken Ruisel, he had to admit that he had a good sister.

Qingqiu was very sure that if it weren't for Ravel, Riser in the original novel would have no chance of clearing his name.

Soon, everyone from the Occult Research Department also came to the activity room.

“Grayfia, the notary sent by Demon Lord Sirzechs, or the judge.”

Seeing that everyone was present, Rias gave a brief introduction.

"This is Ravel Phoenix. She is here to witness this event on behalf of the Phoenix family. She will also participate in the ranking games later."

There is nothing much to say about the beautiful silver-haired wife. Everyone is familiar with her. And as the queen and wife of the Demon King, no one has any objection to her being the referee of this ranking game.

This ranking game will be broadcast live. Unless Sirzechs has no shame at all, Grayfia will not only not help Rias, but will tend to favor the Phoenix family in all aspects.

Because even if it is a completely fair judgment, as long as it is in favor of Rias, some people will inevitably associate it with the relationship between the two parties and then criticize her mindlessly.

Chapter 229 Pre-match preparation

Ravel nodded expressionlessly to everyone, signaling them to quickly begin proving the contract.

The blonde beauty's cold attitude gives people the first impression that she is not easy to get along with, but Qingqiu knows that this is just a shell she uses to cover up her true character.

With her blonde twin ponytails and loli body shape, she definitely doesn't look like a cool person.

But unlike Mitlute, because of her status and identity, Ravel can only act superior most of the time.

Knowing that Ravel was from the Phoenix family and a rival in the ranking game, the girls didn't find her attitude strange.

Soon, with the cooperation of Maria and Qingqiu, Grayfia registered the contract and confirmed Qingqiu's place in the competition.

Ravel watched the whole thing without making any comment.

"I have something to say. The use of unconventional combat forces is prohibited in ranked games."

The silver-haired beautiful wife went through the process seriously, "Such as illegal drugs, tactics that would lead to mutual destruction, etc."

Qingqiu frowned and realized that Zhi Cang was right.

Grayfia didn't say it explicitly, but it was obvious that she was targeting his Tyrannosaurus Mode.

He wanted to ask, but seeing that Rias had no objection, he finally held back.

"no problem."

Qingqiu nodded. This rule was two-way. Based on conventional combat power alone, he didn't think Ruisel could defeat him.

"As pawns, we should limit the number of contracted followers that we can have, Ms. Rias."

Grayfia added, "But the number of Miss Rias's followers is far less than fifteen. After the discussion among the Demon Lords, there is no need to reduce the number this time."

"Then we'll take our leave and look forward to your performance in the game."

After Grayfia teleported away, Ravel immediately followed.

The blonde loli girl had almost no presence throughout the whole process, and was even more perfunctory than Grayfia who was just going through the motions.

Qingqiu was originally worried that the other party would verify the contract on the spot, and was still thinking about how to act like he was being aroused.

In the end, the other party never mentioned it at all.

"Bullmaster, what's going on with that Ravel?"

The world line has long gone astray, and Qingqiu has no idea what the attitude of the blonde devil lady with twin ponytails is now.

"Ravel is Rachel's biological sister and the fourth child of the Phoenix family. She is the youngest and most beloved daughter."

Rias smiled and explained that if the marriage contract issue was left aside, the relationship between the four pure-blooded demon families was not bad.

After all, they survived such a brutal war together, so there is some friendship between them.

Just to preserve the manpower, a ranking game promotion method was designed, which resulted in the bloodline talent of the Phoenix family, who was reborn from the ashes, benefiting greatly and their strength expanding rapidly.

On the contrary, the Gremory family was in a period of transition, and in order to maintain the birth of a pure-blooded devil, the parents of both parties secretly arranged a marriage.

"Ravel didn't want to come at first. Although she had a good relationship with Riser when they were young, she no longer likes her brother after Riser became dissolute..."

Now that Qingqiu was able to participate in the competition, Rias felt much more relaxed and half-jokingly talked about some gossip that only the demon nobles knew.

"I heard that in order to let Ravel be his bishop, Riser begged for a long time. In the end, Ravel reluctantly agreed because Riser often played with her when she was a child."

"For this contract registration, someone from the Phoenix family must be present to witness it, otherwise it will be very troublesome to argue about it later. But if the person comes with a low or high status, it will not be good. Finally, after much deliberation, only Ravel is suitable."

Qingqiu suddenly realized that Ravel was not only Riesel's biological sister, but also his relative, and was indeed a more suitable candidate for a witness.

And after she comes, Rias is not afraid that the Phoenix family will deny its responsibility later.

Even if they had to choose someone to take the blame, the other party couldn't push Ravel out.

This is not a blood feud, so we have to do it even if it means a one-for-one exchange.

"By the way, Minister, can we use the God-Slayer Tool in the ranking game?"

Rias shook her head, "No, you just can't use the Tyrant Dragon Mode. If you can master the Forbidden Hand Mode, you can use it instead."

"what?"

Qingqiu was very confused, but finally understood after Rias's explanation.

It turns out Grayfia wasn't targeting him specifically, she was really just giving him a reminder.

The original intention of the ranking game is to reduce casualties among demons. Temporary combat enhancements that have great side effects and are uncontrolled are not allowed to be used.

In ranked games, enemies cannot continue to attack after they have been defeated in combat.

Conversely, those who are unable to fight can also return to battle after recovery.

In addition, those who voluntarily surrender or those who are seriously injured will be directly transferred out of the space to receive treatment.

Because of this, the Phoenix family, which possesses super self-healing abilities, naturally has a huge advantage in the ranking game.

The Phoenix family is said to be immortal, but in fact their ability to regenerate after death has a long cooldown period.

But the super strong self-healing ability has no cooling time.

As long as they are not fatally injured, the Phoenix family will regenerate immediately no matter what kind of attack they receive, which means they are almost invincible.

There is basically only one way to make the Phoenix family lose their ability to fight, and that is to drag them down until their physical strength and magic power are exhausted.

Or the absolute crushing of combat power made the bigwigs watching the battle feel that the Phoenix family had no hope of winning.

It is precisely relying on this rule that Ruisel has played many ranking games so far. Except for two games where he voluntarily gave up for the sake of family interests, he has won all the other games.

With his doubts resolved, Qingqiu quickly put the matter behind him.

He hadn't even thought of using the Tyrant Dragon mode. You know, Azazel was a Demon King, and he was only S-level at the time.

As for Riser, from his brief encounter with Rias that day, he seemed to be only S-rank.

Even with the convenience of the rules, Qingqiu, who is already SS-level, can still beat him in various ways.

……

On the other side, after Ravel returned to the Phoenix House, Riser asked immediately: "Imitayo, did the heir of the Red Dragon Emperor really sign the master-servant contract?"

"Stay away from me, disgusting."

Ravel looked at her third brother's disheveled clothes and the purple lipstick marks on his face, her cute face full of disgust.

Although only Queen Yubelluna had a relationship with Riser, she knew that her brother had never given up his intentions towards other followers.

If he hadn't considered his sister's feelings, he would have probably done everything already.

Well, if that time ever comes, Ravel will definitely not continue to be the bishop of Ressel.

Ruisel stopped walking awkwardly. His sister was becoming less and less cute as she grew up.

But instead of lamenting the transformation of his lovely sister, he was now more worried about whether Qingqiu would participate in the competition.

Riser was very angry that Qingqiu had ruined Rias's innocence, but he had to admit that this time the heir of the Red Dragon Emperor was terrifyingly strong.

Even the fallen angel governor Azazel fell, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he was stronger than the demon king.

"What? Are you scared?"

Ravel didn't answer directly, but mocked: "If you are afraid, then don't compete. Anyway, you are not worthy of Sister Rias."

"Ravel..." Riser wanted to cry but couldn't. "It doesn't matter if I'm embarrassed alone, but this engagement concerns our entire Phoenix family."

"cut……"

The blonde twin-tailed devil lady snorted and stopped speaking harshly.

"The Sekiryuutei's successor will participate in the competition, and you should have noticed that Sister Rias already has the strength of a top-level devil."

"Is that so..."

Riser's expression suddenly became heavy as he recalled the day when Rias had grabbed his wrist and he couldn't move.

"But since we are not allowed to use Tyrant Dragon Mode, and we are immortal, our chances of winning are still relatively high."

Ravel said nothing and turned to walk towards her room.

Before leaving, she lightly reminded: "Besides Phoenix's tears, you'd better make some more preparations."

No matter how much you dislike him, he is your brother after all, and you have to help him.

After a moment's thought, Ruisel decided to go to the family treasury and pick out a few artifacts to take with him.
