Chapter 53: Before the Rating Game started Qin Tian of course did not forget to complain
The underworld.
The Rating Game arena was filled with thousands of spectators. They were all noble devils who had come to see Rias Gremory's match against Riser Phenex.
They all knew this match was made because the rebellious Rias Gremory wanted to break her political marriage with Riser Phenex.
Many devils secretly scorned the Gremory family because of Rias' actions, but more than that they were also excited to watch the match.
For devils who had lived for a long time, the Rating Game was good entertainment to overcome their boredom, especially when the people competing were from great noble families in the underworld like Gremory and Phenex.
It stimulated their interest to watch and see who would win and lose.
But many of them were actually optimistic that Riser Phenex and his peerage would win because Riser Phenex had a good history of Rating Game matches.
As for Rias Gremory? Quite a few of them knew that the Gremory princess was a spoiled girl who only relied on her older brother, Sirzechs Lucifer.
Rias Gremory also had no previous Rating Game experience, and this match against Riser Phenex was her first time.
So isn't it pretty obvious who will win in this Rating Game?
That's what many viewers are thinking right now.
Inside the luxurious room not far from the Rating Game arena.
This was an exclusive room for the upper-class people in the underworld. There were several rooms like this at the edge of the arena. One of them was here where the people of the Gremory family were.
"Sirzcehs, do you believe Rias will win this match?" The handsome red-haired man with a short beard asked. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Sirzcehs glanced at the man sitting beside him and said. "Don't worry father. I've seen the extent of their improvement after the previous training. It should be enough to defeat Riser."
Zeoticus Gremory, the father of Sirzcehs and Rias. sighed at how confident Sirzcehs was in his younger sister.
"Well hopefully Rias really wins. Otherwise the Gremory family will become a laughing stock..."
"Enough Zeo. Isn't it also your fault for forcing Rias into a political marriage in the first place? You know with Rias' personality, she's bound to rebel like now, especially when the man she's going to marry is an bastard like Riser." Vanelana said while pinching her husband's hand.
Zeoticus smiled wryly.
How many times had he heard this from his wife's mouth?
"But Riser wasn't like this before..."
Originally the reason why Zeoticus agreed to make a marriage contract between Rias and Riser was because of the benefits that benefited both families. Besides, he had also seen that Riser was a good boy, so he easily agreed to make Rias engaged to Riser.
But who would have thought that after a few years Riser began to turn into a bastard who collected many women to satisfy his lust.
"That's why you were optimistic about him, right?"
"Yes... even after he started changing like now. I can't just cancel Rias and Riser's marriage contract."
"I know. People know how annoying politics can be and the face of a family you care more about than your own child."
But according to the information, that human named Qin Tian didn't even have Sacred Gear. He did have some sort of supernatural power, but could he really compete with ultimate-class devils like Sirzechs?
"Well it's good if the Rias side has a trump card. I hope that Qin Tian is as strong as what you say Sirzcehs is." Zeoticus said.
Sirzcehs and Vanelana nodded, there was no point in continuing to brag about Qin Tian to Zeoticus. It was better to let Zeoticus see with his own eyes.
In front of them a hologram-like screen appeared and displayed the people who would be playing the Rating Game.
Rias and her peerage were displayed, they were wearing school uniforms.
Don't know why, but no one commented on the school uniforms they wore in the Rating Game.
Yet if Qin Tian heard this, he would say that it was the logic of the fictional world.
Just like the characters in an anime who always wore the same clothes in every episode. Surprisingly no one commented or complained on why the character never changed clothes.
By the way, Qin Tian is also shown inside the screen.
He looks relaxed wearing a black jacket, jeans, and sneakers while standing next to Rias.
Although she was wearing casual clothes, he was actually the most prominent in the arena. Many viewers glanced at him, especially his face which was shown longer on the screen than anyone else.
Qin Tian's lips twitched, he started to complain in his heart.
[I know I'm handsome and I don't get tired of saying it. I'm used to being the center of attention, but please can the cameraman be fair to every participant? Why are you showing my face longer than anyone else!]
[See? Because of that the audience now started whispering about me. I can hear many people saying why is a weak creature like a human here? Bla bla bla they're looking down on me.]
[If there's a chance I'll do a face slapping scene to these people who look down on me.]
[Hmph! We'll see.]
Despite complaining a lot in his heart, Qin Tian's expression was flat and looked at his surroundings indifferently.
Looking at the handsome young man with an indifferent expression on the screen.
Zeoticus nodded and said. "He has a good temperament for a human, even when facing a lot of attention from supernatural beings he still looks relaxed."
Sirzechs agreed with what his father said and continued to watch the screen.
Vanelana laughed making the two people beside her look at her.
"Pffft! Hahaha as expected of my future son-in-law! So handsome!"
Okay Qin Tian's appearance was indeed very handsome, but was it necessary to laugh so hard?
Zeoticus and Sirzcehs were confused, fortunately they were now in an exclusive room. Otherwise people would see Mrs. Gremory who was laughing like crazy.
Vanelana ignored the gazes of her husband and son, she stared at the screen that displayed Qin Tian with a big smile on her face.
There was no way she say that she was laughing because heard Qin Tian's inner voice, right?
