To those of you that keep on saying Ise losing to Rias is useless, what is your supporting argument? Because it demotes the purpose of Ise as a King? What reasoning is that? On another side, ever consider that Ise's peers are also improving.

We've always been seeing everything about Ise, how much has his friends improve, what type of training were they doing etc. We know nothing about, ever consider that letting Rias win here could also be a sign of how far each of them have progressed individually and collectively? I understand, Ise probably will win but don't act like Rias winning = meaningless that's nothing more than just your prejudis of wanting Ise to win.
