"A… brawl?" The Queen of Sona's peerage was there helping them. They may not be in charge of the student council yet but the actual president was busy running around giving them space to work. She follows the question with. "How did this happen and the other council members?"

"The thing is escalating." Momo pulls out her phone and shows a video. "There was a spar and the students were fighting to get those students in their club… Toriyama-kaichou is running hagged with that."

Since the actual president of the student council is a normal human, she couldn't just use hypnosis to settle the problem. Taking a deep breath Sona decides to go there herself. "Tsubaki, please make sure that no one that shouldn't see these finds them." She said pointing to the resumes.

"Of course." Tsubaki Shinra gives a small, decided nod.

Trusting her, Queen Sona starts to leave, the actual student council president is competent but he needs a magical touch on this situation. Passing through her peerage who came to join the council on her request she sees a black haired boy with glasses talking with Yura Tsubasa, a girl with blue short hair, blue eyes, tall, an athletic build, was a bit of a tomboy in reality and had the face of a pretty boy, and Kusaka Reya, who had two short braids formed by her long brown hair, brow eyes and a slim figure.

The two of them were trying to calm the boy who was telling them all about the brawl. "Don't worry." Sona approaches him and gives him a smile. "We will settle everything."

With that said she departed and Issei was shocked, his concerns melting away. Even the duo of devils were shocked by the change of posture while the young man just stood there for a second before following Sona.

'What is this feeling on my chest?' There was also a weird sensation on the back of his head but it was ignored. His heart was beating fast, he was short of breath and he couldn't see the rest of the world around him. He just wished to follow that woman.

Rias was amused. The number of magicians that came to ask for her to make a pact was considerable, she almost told them then and there that she already had a contract but Akeno, her sweet and cruel Queen, convinced her to let them try to impress her… with a talent show.

"My name is Kito Minomatsu! I am 16 years old and my main branch of research is the manifestation of familiars using earth!" Or in simpler terms, golens. Touching the ground the earth starts to move and small statues made of rock get up, three in total, a little taller than a mailbox or a trash can.

There wasn't a stage to avoid damage by magic, the candidates were all on benches watching each other with Rias and Akeno on the front sitting at a desk with notes for both of them. Kiba, the blonde devil who looked like a charming prince, was acting like the host and security, his sword at the side ready just in case.

The small building was once Kuoh but was then abandoned once the bigger building was ready. The aesthetics of it was more of an european design with two floors. Once Rias took it over as her base she had it reformed to be livable while improving the space and fixing any broken thing.

The end result is a huge house that the devils could use with complete freedom, was comfortable and away from school which allowed for such events.

The candidate bowed to her and his audience, prompting polite applause. The outside of the clubhouse, which was the old school building hidden in the woods, allowed the use of plenty of space and the trees for targets in the exhibition.

Akeno gave the magus a small smile and the young Kito blushed. He took a step to leave the center of the clearing and almost fell forward to the ground, exactly what the long haired woman wanted. Rias could only roll her eyes, her best friend was having too much fun with it.

She looked to the ones still to go and let out a breath of relief, it was almost over, considering they started with some sixties and had just five to go that was a relief. With so many magicians around she hesitated on calling Shirou, Rias wouldn't put past some of them to try and kill him out of spite. Still there were some promising candidates for contracts with Akeno or Kiba around… if they want it, that is.

Most are too prideful to leave with the 'second best thing' but she will love to be proved wrong in that case. "Rias-sama?" Kiba asks for her judgment on the performance of the last attempt to impress her, his smile, patience and everyone else waiting for her evaluation and judgement.

"A decent display of skill," by the change of posture and the stiff shoulders he knows what is going to happen, this was not the first tear down that Rias gives today, "but your golems are on the short size and while the speed of creation would good if you haven't used almost all your mana in their creation." The poor guy was trying to cover his exhaustion but it was clear to all that he was done for the day when it comes to magic.

The redhead devil was trying to be nice, she really was. But if she isn't honest there he won't improve or may even kill himself trying to impress someone else. "Rias-sama is right." Akeno says formanly, her tone full of benevolence. "You still showed promise," she gives reasurances, cheering the mood of the magus, "but I suggest that you practice more. A woman doesn't like those that finish too fast." To just take the carpet out his feet and deflate him completely.

The King of the peerage lets out a sigh as the magus drags himself to join the other spectators, Akeno is a reincarnated devil and yet, sometimes, she acts more like a classical devil than Rias herself. 'I really should look into that… nah, it will be fine.'
