Sona hits back.
….
Asia: you can do it rias-san!
Yuuto: go bouchou!
Koneko: fight bouchou.
Akeno: ara, so energetic and supportive~....you can do it rias, remember varakiel is watching you~.
Akeno who was attempting to make rias shy got the contrary effect.
…..
Rias: sensei is…
Sona: watching?
Both rias and sona increase the phase and the pressure on each other when they realize varakiel was watching them.
Varakiel: ohhh everyone it seems both rias and sona have begun to get serious!
*Ohhhh!*
Tsubasa: Come on, president, you can do it!
Momo: president, give it all.
???: Ohhhh you can do it, president!!!
Tsubaki: don't be so loud genshirou saji.
Saji: h-hehe sorry.
Varakiel: such enthusiasm from part of their clubs as well!!
…..
Rias: remember our bet sona, the loser has to pay for an udon with all the toppings at Kobashiya.
Sona: yes i haven't forget it, it would be a shame to not taste it before you.

Sona: It feels ... .cheap.
Varakiel: These are the rules so bear with it~.
Rias: ok….

Rias and sona eyes sparkle as they hear varakiel.

ophis: ….*nods*
Varakiel: hehe, i am sure you everyone will like you.
Ophis:....why?
Varakiel: because ophis is cute.
Ophis:.....¿?
While ophis was in thinking mode varakiel continues to comment the tournament.
Varakiel: heheh, then let's prepare you when we are back at home, for now let's cheer up for koneko, asia and all our friends, okay?
Ophis:....okay.

Then the match between the student council and the occultism club arrived.
Varakiel: oohhh, it seems we are having another interesting match again, souna shitori club and rias gremory club i wonder who will win this time or we will have a draw again!?

koneko: leave it to me rias-sama.
asia: y-yes!

issei: leave it to me! ill help aniki's wives to win!
….
Varakiel: (...*sigh* I would be touched if he didn't mention it…..and now they are looking at me…) *cof* hyoudou issei please refrain from making misunderstandings that can hurt someone's reputation…..
Issei: hehe, sorry aniki.
akeno: ara~ ♥.
rías: w-wives!?
koneko just blushes.
asia: w-wives? n-no varakiel is only my foster father.
asia blushes down as a tomato.
yuuto: is that so?
Meanwhile, the student council club side…..
Sona: tsubaki….who is that guy.
Tsubaki: *cof* hyoudou issei, 1-A classroom, according to some information he's varakiel-sensei apprentice.
Sona: is that so?
saji: *cuuu* so unfair why is the president and vice president looking to varakiel-sensei so intently.
Tsubasa: varakiel-sensei apprentice? he must be strong then.
momo: yes, but we still have to win for souna-sama.
Tsubasa: That's true, let's do this then saji, momo.
saji: ohh!
momo: of course!
after a heating match between both clubs the sports festival was at his closure.
Varakiel: good job everyone! i am sure everyone gave their best today, thanks you for everyone for your participation and with that, the sport festival is over!! a round of applauses for everyone today!
*clap**clap**clap*
Varakiel: thank you! now all of you can leave, and remember don't go home late at night.
…..
at the occult club.
Varakiel: good job everyone you worked very hard today.
varakiel says as he brings out plates full of food to the main table.
issei: of course aniki! when rias-senpai asked me for join up i couldn't refuse, after all she is part of your ha-
Varakiel stuffed issei mouth with a piece of bread.
Varakiel: I already told you to not say things that can damage my reputation….
Rias:...(i don't mind it though, wait , why am I okay with it!?)
akeno: fufu, but issei-kun is so adorable, calling us varakiel-sensei wives, i bet you will get a lot of girls under you soon enough.
koneko: issei, pervert.
koneko says with a slight blush on her face.
asia: awawa, varakiel-san wife? b-but i already made my vows to god, what should i do!?
asia talks to herself in the corner of the table.
the student council club was also invited by varakiel to come.
sona: so varakiel, what can you tell me about hyoudou issei? since when he became your apprentice? I am quite curious what kind of power he has for you to train him personally.
Tsubaki: sona-sama, according to my analysis he became his apprentice a month after beginning teaching at the school.
Varakiel: oh, you work fast as ever tsubaki, mhm indeed so let me tell you.
Varakiel then get close to sona and tsubaki and whispers to them.
….
Sona: i see so that kind of thing happened without our awareness…
tsubaki: what did you do with them varakiel-sensei?
Varakiel: don't worry about them, i already took care of the problem.
Sona: is that so?....alright.
Varakiel: anyways eat up your food or it will get too cold for you.
sona: yes, sensei.
tsubaki:mhm.
at the other side of the table.
momo: ahhh varakiel-sensei cooking is really out of this world.
tsubasa: *chomp* yes! is so damn delicious!!
tsubasa says as she devours a steak of her plate.
saji: s-so good, being sona-sama subordinate is really a blessing~!
issei: i know right!? aniki food is the best!
yuuto:.....
Varakiel: hm? kiba, is something bothering you?
yuuto:.....(sensei….h-he might be able to help me)....yes sensei.
Varakiel: is something about your past?
yuuto:...yes.
yuuto trembles a little.
Varakiel: i see….come to my room later at night, as your mentor is my duty to hear out all your troubles, understood my child?
Varakiel pats kiba's head.
yuuto: sensei….i….thank you.
meanwhile all the females squad up and began to look at varakiel and yuuto..
Tsubaki: this…(is perhaps VxY real!?)
Asia: (think of the lord, think of the lord, think of the lord!!!)
akeno: oh my~.
rias:...
sona:....
koneko: perverts…
ahhhh!
…..
later at night.
*knock* *knock*
Varakiel: come on in.
Yuuto then enters varakiel room.
Varakiel: sit down kiba-kun.
varakiel invites kiba to sit down at the other side of his desk.
yuuto: ..mhm.
Varakiel and kiba were then face to face.
Varakiel: alright, kiba, whats your problem, rest assured that nothing that you say will come out of this room.
yuuto:....i…
….
Varakiel: so that's your trouble….kiba, you have gone through a lot, you're a very strong child.
yuuto: no, i am not strong sensei, if…if i was strong then my friends…they….
Varakiel: No, you're strong, you're here pushing onwards, living, that's strength, the will to live, no matter the odds.
Varakiel then put both of his hands on kiba shoulders.
Varakiel: your friends may be gone, but they are not dead, they live with you, within your memories, use their wishes for you to live, use them to become stronger to protect what you have now, that's what they would have wanted for you, yuuto kiba, LIVE!
yuuto: sensei…..
Varakiel: It is okay to cry my child, do it to your heart's content.
Yuuto: *sob* *sob*
….
Yuuto: thank you sensei.
Varakiel: don't mention it child, as i said is my duty to look after all of you, as your teacher….and your friend.
yuuto: i….thank you varakiel.
Varakiel: heheh, that's more like it kiba~.
Varakiel then picks up a training sword from his room.
Varakiel: then, are you ready? from now on your training will become even harder.
yuuto: yes varakiel!
Varakiel: good.
