Chapter 237 - Talk after the game

After the game was over Tatsuya and his group immediately went to the medical wards and found the members of both the peerages lying on the beds with bandages wrapped around them.

Tatsuya looked at all of them and said, "That really was rough for all of you, huh. Asia if you don't mind..."

Asia nodded and said, "Okay, everyone wait patiently for me to heal you all."

Tatsuya then looked at the winner of the game who was still unconcious and his hand was grabbed by Seekvaira. He walked towards them and said, "Don't worry Aira-chan, he will be fine." and then removed the blanket from top of him and revealed his bandaged chest which had a deep cut on it.

Tatsuya placed his hand over the cut and then extracted the holy energy from it and then started healing him. Once the deeper wound was closed he covered his body with the blanket once again and said, "There, all done. Don't worry." and then fired a ball made of cold water at his face which instantly woke him up.

Sairaorg woke up with a panicked expression on his face and then started looking around but sighed when he realised where he was. He looked at Tatsuya and said, "Was that really necessary to wake me up like that."

Tatsuya shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not really but someone was worried about you." and looked towards Seekvaira who was sitting beside Sairaorg.

Sairaorg looked at Seekvaira and then saw her holding his hand. He sighed and said, "Don't worry I am not someone to go down that easily." and gripped her hand lightly.

Seekvaira blushed when she felt him gripping her hand and just pulled her hand back and said, "Good for you that you are alright."

Hearing that the rest of the girls chuckled making the green haired girl even more embarresed.

After everyone else was healed up and all of them were talking to eachother Sairaorg asked Tatsuya, "By the way Tatsuya, who do you think improved the most in this game."

Hearing that all of the ones who participated in the game looked at Tatsuya with an expectant look in their eyes.

Tatsuya looked back at them as if they were idiots and said, "Is that even a question to ask..." and then got up from his seat and started walking towards Rias.

Seeing him walking towards her all of them specially Rias was surprised by that. She looked at Tatsuya and said, "No...I mean I didn't do tha-"

"Obviously it's my favourite damphir Gasper." and patted his head making the damphir blush at his compliment.

The whole room turned silent at his answer and looked at Gasper who immediately his behind Tatsuya when he felt the gazes upon him.

"Now now don't scare him. He showed the best determination progress out of all of you. Not to mention he is not a person either used to fighting or hurting others so him taking down an opponent as talented as Coriana is a great feat for him. Also a fun fact he is the only one among all of you who didn't retired during this game and only turned unconcious because of overusing an ability he is not used to plus he is the only one who don't have any deep injuries on his body."

All of them looked at Gasper more intently and Sairaorg said after a while, "Gasper-kun is it. Fine then let's have a battle at a later date. Make sure to master that power of yours."

"Hieeeee Tatsuya-senpai he is scary!!!"

Tatsuya looked at Gasper and said, "Man up Gasper, don't you want others to look at you as a man. What better way would be there other than to defeat the strongest youth devil in a fight." He then turned towards Sairaorg and said, "And you stop making that expression you are scaring him."

Sairaorg who had an excited smile on his face laughed out loud and then apologised to Gasper for scaring him.

Tatsuya then looked at Rias whose bed was besides Gasper's and said, "The next best improvement is definitely Rias's. You really did surp- no shocked all of us by that performance of yours. That was really impressive battle you showed us."

Rias smiled and puffed her chest proudly and said, "Of course what else do you expect. I really put my heart and soul to improve myself for the fight."

Tatsuya nodded and then looked at Isami and said, "And you Isami...."

Isami who heard her name immediately tensed up and started praying inside her head, 'Please no hellish training. Please no hellish training. Please no hellish training. Please no hellish training. Please no hellish training. Please no hellish training.'

Tatsuya smiled and said, "Don't worry you will not be training under Tiamat from now on. Plus a week's break."

Hearing that a huge smile appeared on her face and she shouted, "HELL YEAH!!!! NO OLD HAG FROM NOW ON!!!!!"

But her happiness soon faded away when he heard Tatsuya's next words, "From now on you will be training under me and I will 'make sure' that you train you 'throughly'"

She looked at Tatsuya with eyes which had lost all their brightness and remained silent. She them turned towards the rest of the members of Tatsuya's group and asked, "Hey, this guy is joking, right? Asia it looks like I am dreaming a bit, will you punch me to wake me up from this nightmare."

Tatsuya walked towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "Don't worry Isami this is not a dream. Let's work hard in the future."

Isami looked at Tatsuya for a while and then summoned her gauntlet and asked Ddraig, "Ddraig you really like training under Tiamat, right? Let's just continue that."

The gem on the Gauntlet glowed and Ddraig said, "Y-yeah let's just train with her till we reach her level and then we will think about training under Tatsuya."

Tatsuya just 'smiled' and said, "I hope that you are excited for the training." and then walked away making Isami slump her shoulders and said, "My luck must be totally fuc*ed up for me to get into worse situation each time."

Tatsuya looked at Sairaorg and then said, "Bye the way Sairaorg don't think that you are the strongest youth devil. Isami could have defeated you easily if she had used everything she had got in her arsenal."

Hearing that all of them got shocked and looked at Isami with questioning gazes seeing which Isami got overwhelmed by them and said, "W-w-what are you saying Tatsuya!!! I used everything I had in my battle!!!"

Tatsuya looked at her with a neutral look on his face and asked, "What all did you use in your game? Care to tell me about that?"

Isami thought for a while and then started listing the things that she used in the battle, "I used my Balance Breaker, My triania, my dragon slayer magic, my holy sword."

Tatsuya nodded and then said, "And what about your pawn promotion? You could have promoted to queen and then used triania to defaeat him easily. Not to mention, using your holy sword along with just you regular triania would have done the job and enhancing that with dragon slayer magic would have been overkill for the match. Or you could have aimed for the face which was exposed to defeat him easily and since I can heal him. you should not have the worried about that method either."

The whole room turned silent once again and looked at Tatsuya while blinking their eyes.
