Part 2: Phoenix of the Battle School[]

  • Rias moves Asia into Issei's house.
  • Rias attempts to have sex with Issei but is caught and taken away by Gremory housemaid Grayfia Lucifuge.
  • Riser Phenex, Rias' fiancée, shows up in the club room with Grayfia to demands that Rias' engagement to him be moved up, but Rias is against the arranged marriage.
  • Grayfia suggests they hold a Rating Game to solve their problems; the winner would be allowed to determine the fate of their engagement.
  • Rias has everyone go to her mountain summer house for training in the ten days they have until the match.
  • Rias starts falling in love with Issei after seeing his determination to help save her in the upcoming match.
  • During the match everything seems to go mostly to plan, until Issei's stamina runs out and Rias begrudgingly resigns to stop Riser from beating Issei to death.
  • Issei recovers from his injuries on the day of the engagement party and Grayfia gives him a magic circle card, allowing him to crash the party and face-off against Riser in a rematch—as proposed by Rias' older brother Sirzechs Lucifer.
  • It is shown that Issei had sacrificed his left arm to achieve a psuedo-balance-breaker state.
  • Defeating Riser by nullifying his immortality with Asia's crucifix and holy water, Issei escapes with Rias on a summoned Griffin. Zeoticus and Lord Phenex cancel the engagement.
  • No longer engaged to Riser, Rias shares her first kiss with Issei and moves into his house as well—much to Asia's annoyance.
