The ward struggled against her output but Ritsuka would raise his staff placing another ward every time it faltered. Even then it was difficult to match her pace. Ritsuka was forced to place a ward every fifteen seconds just to keep the log from being wiped off the face of the arena.

It took nearly three minutes for Rias to break the ward as she forced herself to use multiple smaller spheres striking at the same time. It was too much for the wards to handle. The log evaporated like the last.

Rias puffed slightly from overexertion. A few drops of sweat ran down her cheek which she wiped. Ritsuka didn't seem winded at all though.

"Good work. Okay I think I got an idea." Ritsuka waved his staff again and another log split giving the three seats to sit on. "Let's discuss some things."

The two sat down… a bit hesitant though because Ritsuka was appraising them both intensely. He was stuck in a thinking pose as the two shuffled a bit in their seat.

"Okay, first thing is that both of you are very powerful. I would lose outright if I didn't have a spirit actively inhabiting me." Ritsuka praised the two. Each puffed their chest in pride… which also made them bounce for some reason. 'Right… ignore that…'

"But…?" Rias was the one to note the inevitable downside.

"Rias is a powerhouse but technique is very predictable. In my professional opinion, you favor power to wipe out things before they become a problem. It's very high power but I was still able to keep your magic at bay for three minutes. It wasn't until you adapted to a spread out pattern that I wasn't able to keep up." Ritsuka explained. Rias nodded and sadly sighed.

She had been slacking a bit on training her power. To her defense, she wanted a normal school life at least for a bit without the power struggles of devil society weighing down on her mind.

"I can help you adapt your power and maybe even get it to a point where you can shape it to fit your mood, probably. I've known a few mages who did weird things with elemental magic." Ritsuka chuckled remembering how Sitonai sometimes did that with her ice magic. It was outside of battles but she could still manipulate it into different mobile shapes. "We could also limit it to affect certain objects since Ratings Games are meant to be non lethal most of the time if that is what I'm understanding from everything I've been told."

"Yes. Since all devils have special safety spells placed on them to keep from being killed outright through their evil pieces." Rias answered though looked away from Ritsuka. She was still scared that he was putting himself at risk for death.

"Good. Now for Akeno… I don't see any problem power wise or adaptation wise. For you, it's more situational awareness and keeping your sadism in check. I don't mind it at all but I'm weird like that." Ritsuka mentioned which softened the criticism Akeno heard as she gave off a soft smile that her sadistic tendencies weren't going to be a deal breaker.

"I'm glad." Akeno muttered as she felt her heart lift up a bit.

"For your training I'm guessing the best idea would be to play a game of hide and tag." Ritsuka announced which made the two confused.

"A game?" Both spoke at the same time.

"Yeah. I do have ways to hide my presence. I'll be tossing something at you and you'll have to react to it. I need to get that ready though so I need to pick the right things to do so. It should be a bit more fun since this isn't a sparring match." Ritsuka gave off a little smirk winking at Akeno. It might have been too much though as Akeno blushed up a storm letting her legs fumble around. "Alternatively, I could just have you fight things so that you can get used to the idea. I know for a fact, both of you are stronger than you appear."

"I would like the game… I'm sure you can make it… interesting." Akeno emphasized the last word in the most seductive tone she could muster. Ritsuka merely chuckled at that.

"Sure. Rias, for you it would be me having you shape magic and seeing where we go from there. I have some ideas on how to go about it or we could just use combat training to allow yourself to use your imagination and figure it out on your own." Ritsuka explained professionally to Rias who appreciated the choice.

"I'll have you help me shape magic for now. Maybe combat later." Rias gave off a small smile which Ritsuka nodded to.

"Okay. I'm gonna check on the others. Maybe I can get Kiba to help me find something for the game." Ritsuka mumbled as he… floated away. Rias and Akeno stared… flabbergasted that they hadn't noticed that the entire time.

"Hey! Kiba!" Ritsuka called out getting his attention after they finished their fourth lap around the arena. Asia looked exhausted but happy enough to be getting a break.

"Yes Ritsuka-kun? What do you need?" Kiba answered wiping his face with a small towel. Koneko watched on, curious. Asia was far too tired to even understand that Ritsuka was around.

"I need something for training Akeno. Any ideas what I could use to throw at her?" Ritsuka asked.

"Senpai should just get water balloons. Akeno would agree immediately." Koneko snarked slightly.

"Would be the safest idea. I was gonna say suction cup darts but knowing you, you might throw too hard, Ritsuka-kun." Kiba pointed out. Koneko thought about how her comment was taken seriously and immediately sighed.

"I don't think I could throw that hard. I do have to throw hard enough to train her though. Do we have any balloons?" Ritsuka wondered aloud as Kiba seemed to ponder things.

"I think we have some back at home. I'll go get them ready since I feel we've got Asia conditioned for now at the very least. Do you think so Koneko?" Kiba looked to his training partner.
