I think I get why kiba said he needs to prepare himself there will be four blocks each having four teams making a total of 16 teams the block in which ise is in is the same as rias out of the four two will advance facing each other in the top eight now either rias and ise will face of in the top 16 or once issei faces ruval in the next volume he will advance and face rias in the top 8 once defeating her he will move on to the top 4 by the way I think the pair for ise block is Ruval team Rias team Ise team Diehauser team Ise faces ruval and rias faces diehauser if ishibumi isn't having rias face ise first what do you guys think ?
