I wonder if Issei and Vali will be given a Maou apprenticeship status if they were to make it to the Final Four in the Azazel Cup. If I remember correctly that’s the criteria required for Issei at least to be in consideration as a future Maou correct? Also if Issei becomes a Maou will he still remain Rias’s Pawn? Or will Ajuka Beelezebub find a way to give Issei a King piece so he’s not anyone’s servant anymore. I feel as though the two positions would conflict with one another.(Being a Servant to a House & Ruling the 72 pillars)
