Finally finished reading Phoenix of the Battle School Building DX?

Here's what went in the second to the latest short story:

The story is told in Issei's perspective and it started when he noticed that Rias and Ravel were talking about something while moving the chess pieces across the board without following the rules.

When he asked what they were talking about, Rias told Issei that she and Ravel were talking about the Rating Game between her and Riser in the past but they were also including what-ifs in their conversation, considering what they might have done with the new additions that her group had.

The conversation continued with the other members joining in and telling about their interests and regrets about the said Rating Game. Azazel was the last to join and proposed that they have a rematch. At first, everyone especially Rias was surprised though one by one, they expressed interest on the match. After everyone agreeed to the proposition of replaying the past Rating Game, Azazel told Ravel to convince his folks to accepting the plan. Ravel saying that she will do her best and will convince her parents and her two brothers.

Fast forward to the match, the Gremory group was inside the clubroom but not the clubroom in the Kuoh Academy but inside an artificial space as the Rating Game will play out on the very same location that they used in the first one. Even with the absurd advantage that they have against Riser's group, Rias still has her concerns as she knew that Riser and his peerage also started training. Issei knows of this training as Riser contacts him secretly and showing off how thick his arms has become. Ravel didn't participate in the rating game but she acts as Riser's advisor though she contacted a helper to fill in the spot. The game started after Grayfia, once again acting as the referee, made the signal. Before they went out, Issei asked why no restrictions was placed on them considering how powerful they've become. Rias said that it was because of Lord Gremory and Lord Phoenix wanting it to be exactly the same as the first game. That means no restriction on the Gremory group and Riser's team also possessing two Phoenix Tears.

First match:

Again, like the first, Issei headed out to the gymnasium but this time, he's with Koneko and Xenovia. At the gym, they were faced against the Rook Xuelan and three Pawns: Mira, Ile, and Nel.

The fight became Xuelan vs Koneko, Issei vs Mira, and Xenovia vs Ile and Nel.

Issei didn't even hold back and used Balance Breaker immediately and one-shotted Mira with a Dragon Shot. Even without meaning to, Mira's clothes was destroyed and Issei was very thankful of that. Before officially being retired, a blushing Mira asked for Issei's autograph later as she's a fan of him.

The other's fight also ended and all in favor of Rias' group. 1 Rook and 3 Pawns down.

Second Match:

After the fight, Issei and Koneko was cautious as the latter was eliminated on this juncture of the match although this time, nothing happened. Not quite sure if Akeno still destroyed the gym for parity's sake, but the trio noticed two figures flying in the sky: Akeno and Yubelluna. After some poking, they started the fight between the Queens.

Third Match: As soon as the match between the Queen's started, explosions were heard near the old school building w/c is their base. Rias told them that there's nothing to worry as the explosions were caused by Rose and Gasper. Instead of Kiba, it was the two of them that defeated 3 Pawns: Marion, Shuriya, and Burent.

Fourth Match:

Kiba appeared right after Rias notified them on what happened. Together, they left the two Queens and headed to the new school building. On the baseball ground, the Knight Karlamine was waiting for them. After Kiba and Karlamine greeted each other, Issei remembered what Karlamine said in Volume 2. He asked who the Holy Sword wielder that she told Kiba that she met. Before Kiba was able to answer, Karlamine told him that he should worry as that person will arrive shortly and act as the helper to fill in the gap that Ravel left.

To everyone but Kiba's surprise, who else arrived but the self-proclaiming Angel IRINA. She told them that she met Karlamine at a certain country two years ago. She was asked earlier by Ravel to stand-in for her place. Now that Irina has arrived, the fight became: Kiba vs Karlamine and Xenovia vs Irina. Issei noticed that while Kiba and Karlamine were enjoying Xenovia and Irina were reminiscing their past while they were still exorcists of the Church.

Fifth Match

After the fight started between the swordsmen, three more of Riser's peerage appeared. The Rook Isabella and two Pawns: Ni and Li.

Koneko told Issei that she will fight against the two Pawns as they are all Nekomatas. That leaves Issei to Isabella.

Issei noted that Isabella's training paid off as her strikes were more powerful than what it was in the past but as he is now, he's way more powerful. Exactly how she was defeated in Volume 2, Issei used a combination of Dress Break and Dragon Shot. He noted that even in the past, Isabella's mask wasn't destroyed by the Dress Break and he's not sure if it was because the mask has some magical properties or something else.

Koneko's fight turned into a wrestling match of sort as she's using a submission hold on Ni and the latter seeking help to Li. Issei said that the fight literally turned into a catfight.

So far, Issei was able to eliminate two members of Riser's group.

Sixth Match

After Issei's fight against Isabella, Riser's Bishop, Mihae, appeared and ushered him towards the new school building. Rose, Gasper, and Asia were already present in the lobby of the building but not Rias. When asked where she is, Rose and Asia told Issei that she's with Riser at the top of the building. Mihae told them that only Issei and Asia can go to the top.

I can't quite understand the specifics on this one but what happened is Issei and Asia went out and he used his Dragon wings to fly up. The two that was left then fought against Mihae.

Poor poor girl. ROFLSTOMPED by the two. The announcement for her retirement was announced even before Issei and Asia arrived to where Rias is.

Final Match: TBD: Just saving the text.
