Grendel was hit after he took too much damage making him unable to evade.

~Ok. Let's say that Issei can't take the damage given by Akeno, but can Akeno take the damage given by Issei? Of course not. Then who will receive damage first? Will it be Akeno with Raikoryuu or Issei with CCQ's incredible speed (Knight)? The answer is definitely Issei.
