Rating Game
3rd POV*
The intense atmosphere could be felt by everyone watching the game right now. They were excited to what will happen when two sisters of Satan clashed. Sona and Rias's momemtun were battling with each other, Rias could only held against Sona since the fate is still on her side. Sona who has been cultivated for many millenniums normally would just destroy a simple devil using her momentum but since Rias is being protected by the world, she wasn't able to do it..
"Issei!" Rias shouted as her faithful servant responded to her. "Yes, Buchou! Balance Breaker, Cardinal Crimson Mode!" Issei transformed as his strength became on par with gods, without even including his boosting abilities. The viewers looked at his form with awe as they felt his strength that is not inferior to them, their awe turned into shock when Issei wasn't done with his improvements yet. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!" He and Ddraig shouted at the same time making his strength surpassed of that a god.
Issei dashed towards Sona with speed that would make gods look like snail, he was reluctant to punch a woman but for his Buchou's happiness he would gladly do it. Issei threw a punch at Sona who didn't flinch and even looked at his figure as if not even bothered by how fast he is. The fist landed making a large explosion appear. Dust and dirt was thrown in the sky because of how strong it was. The dust eventually subsided as everyone turned shock when they saw Sona catching Issei's fist without even swaying.
Sona's strength is not to be underestimated as she can even easily lift the big world of Tensura without any problem. Her lifting strength is huge that carrying a whole galaxy on her hand would not be a trouble. This fight is stupid in the first place because Sona can easily destroy anyone in this world, her entering this is just to left an history for her descendants in the future. Sona clenched Issei's fist before throwing him away. The action made the viewer's mouth opened wide.
Rias got an head ache when she saw what Sona did. She ordered every member of her peerage to attack Sona which they did as bombardment of attacks surrounded Sona. Sona didn't even move from her spot as she just waved her hand, all of the attacks didn't reach Sona's body as they stopped just few meters around her. Sona released a bit of her aura that froze everything around her including the members of Rias's peerage. Ajuka tried to take them out of the place but was confused when his power didn't work. "Its no use, everything I freeze will just 'freeze'. There is no thing that could take them away from that, only me who holds that authority" Sona declared.
Rias was alerted by her words, only she and Issei are left, they don't even know why Sona spared them but this humiliation made them awake from their dreaming state. They were treating this game as a simple event where they would go more stronger, they never acknowledged that Sona is an opponent that would bring a lot of trouble for them. But now that their eyes were opened, they finally understood the situation. Rias looked at her frozen servants with worry on her eyes. "Unfreeze them Sona! They will surrender!" Rias shouted making Sona smiled at their awakening.
Sona released their from the ice as they lose consciousness immediately. Their body was in critical condition making Ajuka deliver them to a healer instantly. "Rias Gremory's whole peerage except for Hyoudou Issei has been eliminated" Ajuka announced. Sweats began to fall from Rias and Issei's face as they looked at Sona who was carefree. "Issei, be careful. Sona is not what she was in the past, she became stronger.." Rias said making Issei change his perception about Sona, he raised his danger level of Sona to the highest level as Rias also did the same.
Rias began firing a barrage of Power of Destruction that ravaged the whole land they are standing. Issei also began boosting himself with Ddraig telling him to be careful about this battle as even he could not analyze Sona's level of power. Issei fired Dragon Shot at Sona who just blinked at it before it froze and broke to atomic level. Sona was just playing with the two while the viewers could only scratch their heads trying to comprehend what is happening. The power of the both should be enough to trash against any normal gods, they might even reach the level of a chief but somehow every attack they released became something that is easy to break in their eyes.
Rias was getting desperate as none of her attacks are getting through any of Sona's barrier. This is really unnerving for her who has been with Sona since they were little, she didn't expect that her childhood friend would surpass her in terms of strength when she already surpassed her in intelligence. "Issei, give me a boost!" Rias shouted as Issei transferred the boosts that he had on stock. Rias felt a power entering her body making her smile, she raised her hand before making an PoD that looked like a eastern dragon. It's ability to destroy was enhanced by Issei's boost making it very lethal to anything.
"Eat this!" Rias exclaimed while the dragon began moving as it flew towards Sona who just smirked. "Foolish, do you think that just because you have that, you could defeat me?" She said while freezing the dragon on air. "That boosted gear is such a hassle" Sona said with Issei trying to use his ability again only to fail. "What!?" He tried again and again only to have the same result as the first one. "What's wrong Issei!?" Rias asked worriedly when she saw Issei not moving and only muttering something. "Buchou! I can't use my boosted gear! Oi, Ddraig, answer me!" Issei knocked on his boosted gear only to be ignored by the dragon inside.
"It's no use, I just froze your concept of boosting after all. You won't be able to use it for the rest of your life unless I release it. Of course that dragon is included in the package" Sona explained as everyone stopped thinking, they just let the show go on since thinking about it would just give them migraine. Issei could only use the boosts that he have so far and tried to fight Sona with it. Rias is also getting pressured by Sona, no matter what she does it would always lead to being freeze. Even the fate who is helping her couldn't do anything because Sona would just freeze its attempt to make her win.
Rias's desperation lead her to making a lot of thoughts, 'Why is this happening? How is Sona this strong? Aren't we the main character..?' she thought as she was slowly losing faith towards the world that doesn't help them in any way. She knew that it was always helping her, even in times of trouble it would always do some freaky coincidences just to make it easy for them to solve the problem. Rias thought that maybe someone else had fate's help.. and it was stronger than her! She thought that maybe she is really not the main character because when she start thinking about it, Sona is also center of trouble. She got a blessing called Xander, she got stronger quickly.
Rias's desperate thought is slowly succumbing her mind, "Haa!!" She shouted manipulating her Power of Destruction to wreck havoc in her surrounding. The moment it reached Sona's surroundings, it was froze and broke again into pieces. Rias just kept throwing a lot of attacks that made her look desperate. Sirzechs who was watching it couldn't help but worry, his sister's complex is getting bad. "This is bad.. Ajuka, can you make Rias surrender already?" He asked Ajuka who shook his head. "It's not within our authority to do that, as long as she still doesn't accept defeat then she could do whatever she wanted" Ajuka said while closing his eyes, this was also painful for him to watch.
Sirzechs could only accept it while hoping that Rias would surrender already, continuing this would only lead to self destruction. "Sona is really giving her pressure, what does she want to do..?" Azazel questioned as he thought about this seriously. After a while he arrived at a conclusion, "What..!? No way.. is that possible?" He muttered gaining the attention of others, "What's wrong, Azazel? What did you observe?" Michael asked while tilting his head. "No.. I don't want to ruin it, and its still a hypothesis, I don't know if it would work.. just keep watching" Azazel said making everyone's curiosity soared to the sky. They had no choice but to continue looking at the fight.
Sona was still playing with Issei and Rias with the same playful smile on her face. She began pushing the pressure towards Rias trying to make her give up the title. "Just give up, Rias. No matter what you do, I would only rend it useless" Sona said smirking at Rias who just narrowed her eyes. "Sona.. why are you doing this? You could've ended the match earlier.." Rias questioned while still throwing magics at Sona who just shrugged it off. "I need you to know by yourself that you are not the only one favoured by the world" Sona said as the world rumbled, it seems like it was dissatisfied with what Sona said but Rias had no way of knowing that, she only thought that it was a confirmation.
Rias looked down and began wondering, is she really not special? Since there is still someone else that gained its favor.. does that mean she is just a side character? Shadow began to cover Rias's face making Sona smirk thinking that she already won. But to her surprise Rias looked up with a different look on her eyes, "I will never accept that!!" She shouted as her powers began rampaging it was destroying everything, the land being ravaged, craters appeared all around. Sona raised an eyebrow before sighing, she began walking slowly towards Rias while freezing everything on her way. She eventually arrived at Rias's side before staring at her in the eyes, "Sorry Rias, you've lost" Sona said.
The moment she said that, everything in the place stopped, the aura that was in berserk stopped, Rias's Power of Destruction stopped working, the mana in the air stopped working. Rias widened her eyes in disbelief at what is happening, "No..no way! My bloodline!" She shouted with despair on her face while the viewers was confused with her words. "Yeah.. I froze your Bael bloodline.. now your trumph card has been sealed, what would you send me next?" Sona asked as Rias immediately turned to Issei only to see him frozen like the others, "Issei!" She shouted trying to make him reach her feelings, but it was no use as Sona's ice couldn't be break by mere bonds and fate.
The people were shocked by Sona's words, they were wondering if they were still safe here when a girl could literally freeze their bloodline just by thinking about it. Rias despaired when nothing was going to her will, it was as if the world was determined to make her lose. She kneeled on the ground as she could only stay in daze, she never expected that she would lose badly like this. Her will to win has been lost, she doesn't want to stay here anymore so she just admitted it. "I.. lost.." she said making Sona smile as the world began shaking, Rias looked around confuse to what is happening but she felt something escaping her body and going towards Sona.
"What's happening?!" Rias asked while looking around only to see myriad of colors appearing all around the world, it was dazzling to watch as it was so beautiful. The world's atmosphere cracked, as everyone felt dizzy by the event. The world is changing its movement, it was passing the rights to the person that obtained it. The colors that are swimming in the air was suddenly sucked at one place, it was at Sona's body as everyone just watch stunned by the series of events. They couldn't understand what is happening until they heard Azazel laughing. "Hahahahaha!! So that was possible!" Everyone turned their attention to him looking for answers.
"Can you tell us already, Azazel?" Sirzechs asked, he was getting impatient since this involved his sister. "Sirzechs.. you know that your sister is the center of this world right? All the blessing would come to her as if it was natural, the Sekiryuutei arrived at her, her opponents are just suited for their abilities, and there are still many but upon watching that, I placed an status to your sister and the Sekiryuutei that is unique in this world.." Azazel said. "What is that status, Azazel?" Michaell asked slowly gaining understanding of what is happening. Azazel closed his eyes for a second before answering, "I call it... Protagonist" He said as everyone widened their eyes.
Ajuka just closed his eyes as he already arrived at this conclusion when Azazel started giving examples, "So? You mean to tell us that what is happening is.." Ajuka said, "Yes! That title is being handed to other else! Sona Sitri forced Rias Gremory to realized that she is not the main character of this world as she just gave up. What she didn't know is that was the trigger for the world to change its favoured one. She abandoned the thought that she is the main character, making the world pin a title of Sub Character to her. And Sona who win against her gained that title.. right now Sona Sitri became the official protagonist of this world" Azazel explained.
The place turned silent as they tried to comprehend what Azazel is saying, it was too absurd to think that this world has a main character. Everyone always thought that they are the main character and their spotlight still hasn't arrived yet. But now that they think about it, most problems in the world was indeed focused on Rias and Issei, they were also beating those problems after just a few power ups. This already speaks a lot that they are the main characters.
Sona smiled before she unfreeze Issei as Ajuka took Rias and Issei from the special place. "The youth's Rating Game has now ended! I hereby annouce that Sona Sitri is the new Strongest Youth of the generation!" Ajuka exclaimed as they viewers had no choice but to clap. Sona looked at the sky where she sensed Xander cheering at her, she was happy with that. Luminous and Utaha went to her place as they congratulated her, "Congratulations, Sona" they said making Sona smile at their words. "Thank you, you three" she said.
"The fight has ended, let's return to our place now" Sona said and was about to teleport when Azazel called her, "Oi, Sona. The coronation is still in progress, are you gonna go already?" He asked making Sona shook her head, "I am tired, Azazel. And Xander is still waiting for us at home, I would prefer going right now" Sona brought Xander's name as Azazel twitched his lips, a lot of his trauma was made by Xander because of what he always give him. It was some works that are close to being abominations, Azazel backed out with a depress atmosphere around him. Now that he remembered it, he wouldn't forget about it for a few more days.
Sona and the others teleported back to Sitri Territory where they saw Xander waiting for them. "Congrats, Sona. You really did well there, forcing Rias to surrender" Xander greeted her with a smirk on his face. "Isn't that expected? That was just for my entertainment anyway." Sona said making everyone shook their heads, they finally understood why she insisted on entering a fight that she could just end with a simple thought. "How about fate? Does that bitch think she could manipulate events more freely when it is inside you?" Luminous asked while narrowing her eyes at Sona's body only to see a froze lump of energy. The energy was too dense for a simple spell so she concluded that it was the fate's influence.
"Hah, that bitch deserved it. This world doesn't need an thing manipulating it, it could just do whatever it wants" Utaha sneered at its state. "That's enough chatting here, let's enter already" Sona said before they just entered the mansion, Sona was also congratulated by her parents and the servants. They were happy for her win, specially because of how she did it, now they can officially say thay Sitri is not inferior to Gremory. The dominance that Sona showed made the devils happy as it was in their blood, they praised Sona for her immeasureable strength as the girl just accepted it without rejecting. This became the day where the name Sona Sitri rised upon the world's food chain.

What do you think? Is it too illogical?
