After that, Duanmuhuai took the Tacheng kitten back to the banquet hall, found Rias, and explained the matter to her. Rias was also very scared when he heard that this happened. He hurriedly grabbed the Tacheng kitten and looked at it again and again. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.


    "Huh...thank you so much, teacher."


    "You''re welcome, the kitten is also my student."


    "Hahaha……"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Rias couldn''t help but smile bitterly. Of course, she understood Duanmuhuai''s meaning. The relationship between the Inquisition and the Demon is very subtle and there must be a reason. There is no formal covenant between the Gimmonri family and the Court of Justice, and the Court of Justice must stand on the standpoint of mankind, so Duanmuhuai''s reason for helping Leas is to focus on individuals and not involve the collective.


    Like before, he helped Rias fight against the Phoenix family, and helped Yuto Kiba and Tacheng kitten, the reason for using this is the reason.


    Because I am a teacher and you are my students, this is entirely out of personal standpoint, not the diplomatic direction of the court.


    Actually, this is not bad, but Rias hopes to go further.


    Unfortunately, she couldn''t join the court like Mio Narase. After all, Mio Narase has clearly abandoned her family, and Rias is also the heir of Kimonri, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction between her and Mio Narase. Although Rias was very angry when his father engaged himself without authorization, he was not as good as saying that he wanted to leave the family.


    Then the remaining solution is...


    "After that being said, it''s time for the kitten to change."


    Duanmu Huai''s voice sounded again, interrupting Leas''s thoughts.


    "She, a soldier, can do nothing except head-on combat. Look, she will just turn it over if someone else puts poison. And I remember you didn''t seem to have any treatment. Shouldn''t the kitten be strengthened in this case?"


    "That''s right, but... there''s really no good idea for a while."


    Lias also understood Duanmu Huai''s statement. Although the Tacheng Kitten is indeed very strong in offense and defense, it is all physical. If others play tricks on the verge of the dark, she will definitely be the first one to fall down.


    "After that being said, you only have a few relatives playing in the ranking competition, is that okay?"


    "There is a court to help us, right? And I''m better off being insignificant than being indiscriminate, and I''m also trying to find family members."


    Lias had no choice, after all, such things as relatives are more important than retainers, so of course she was unwilling to find anyone casually. In fact, Rias has a crush on Acea, the representative of the fallen angel camp. After all, Acea''s ability to heal whether the other party is a demon or an angel is the best auxiliary nurse in Rias''s opinion.


    Helplessly, although Aisia is now in the camp of fallen angels, she is a devout believer and is unwilling to be reincarnated as a demon...


    "Um………"


    Hearing Lias''s answer, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.


    "Do I want me to give her a set of power armor? This thing should make the kitten stronger, at least not to tear her clothes every time she fights."


    Duanmuhuai has long complained about this. The Tacheng kitten is in close combat, so she often goes up to fight with her hands. Then she is wearing an ordinary school uniform. If she moves a lot, if others are a little more ruthless, it will naturally become ragged. This was the case when I fought with the priest under the fallen angel before.


    This dress is not like the one in Doushen City. The less you have, the stronger your defense. What is the difference between wearing this close combat and wearing it? Not to mention that you are still a MT that resists the front line, and you don’t have to defend yourself?


    "Power A? Do you mean it''s like what you wear with teacher?"


    "Yes, her body model needs to be customized. How about it? Even if you can''t use it normally, you can try it when playing ranking competitions. It''s better than nothing."


    "this………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s proposal, Rias looked at the Tacheng kitten in embarrassment, but the latter stared at Duanmuhuai with a firm look.


    “If I can, I want it.”


    "Kitten? Is it really okay?"


    Girls have seen Duanmu Huai’s power armor. That set of power armor is quite impressive when worn on Duanmu Huai, but... how to say it?


    The skull design is really a bit...it''s not a cute style that girls will like anyway.


    "No problem, I want to become stronger and stronger, which can help Lord Rias, and I will not lose to my sister like before! Even without that kind of strength, I don''t want to lose!"


    What is she talking about?


    Duanmu Huai couldn''t understand what the kitten said, but he didn''t care.


    "But, isn''t that armor scary? It looks like?"


    “Will it be nice to paint it pink?”


    "Well…………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s proposal, subtle expressions appeared on both Rias and the kitten’s faces.


    “………Let’s forget it.”


    “It’s good that it was.”


    "Yeah?"


    Duanmu Huai thought girls like pink.


    "When the banquet is over, you come to the church and prepare the ceremony."


    “Rite?”


    For the Inquisition, the release of any set of power armor is a serious and sacred thing, and this time is naturally no exception. After the banquet, everyone followed Duanmuhuai to the room deep in the church.


    "I always feel... a little nervous..."


    The Tacheng kitten stood in the middle, his face tense. At this moment, she had taken off the foreign clothes she wore when she attended the banquet and replaced them with a tight suit that looked like a diving suit, but there was something like a socket outside the tight suit.


    "Although you are not a member of the Inquisition and do not need to recite the oath, there are several regulations that need to be followed."


    Duanmu Huai looked at the Tacheng kitten and spoke.


    "First of all, you are not allowed to attack any human being, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, as long as you attack human beings while wearing this armor, the armor will be completely locked and imprisoned you. Do you understand?"


    "………I see."


    The Tacheng kitten nodded vigorously. "Also, since you are wearing the armor of the court, you must do things for the court, that is, if I have a task that you need to complete, you must not disobey my orders. Of course, I will not let you deal with Rias, but if I need you to do something, you must complete it. This armor is not for nothing, do you understand?"


    "yes."


    "Very good, go up."


    Duanmuhuai nodded to the Tacheng kitten, who hesitated for a moment and then walked onto the platform in front of him.


    At this moment, Rias, her relatives, Narise Mio, Wanria, Mary and others were all watching outside. Rias was still a little worried about her family. As for Mio Narase - well, she felt that she might go through a similar process in the future. It would be no harm to take a look first.


    Looking at the platform in front of me, the Tacheng kitten was also pounding his heart. At this moment, she was the only one in the entire hall. In front of the steel altar, you could see a huge skull and a double-headed eagle pattern with spreading wings. Some strange, cold, heavy mechanical device erected on the periphery of the circular platform.


    But when recalling his wish, the Tacheng kitten gritted his teeth and walked up.


    As the Tacheng kitten walked onto the platform, several angels flapped their wings and fell from the dome. These artificial creatures transformed from babies were carrying an incense burner transformed from skull, and kept spinning around the Tacheng kitten, chanting the nameless eulogy in their mouths.


    …………The Court is really a justice organization.


    Seeing this scene, Rias''s eyes were also twitching. Just the scene in front of him, how could he look even more demon than a demon?


    The Tacheng kitten walked up to the platform, and in front of her was a pair of metal combat boots. She raised her feet without hesitation and stepped in. Then, as the kitten''s feet fell into it, the metal combat boots quickly locked it. Then, mechanical tentacles grabbed the armor from all directions and appeared. They put the armor in their hands on the outside of the black tights worn by the Tacheng kitten, locked it, fixed it, and made nerve connections, and then welded it.


    “………………”


    How to say it.


    Seeing this scene, Rias and Mio Narase were in a complicated mood. This scene looked both sci-fi and religious, and it felt like two completely unrelated things were integrated together. It obviously looks like a scene in a science fiction movie, but this dim hall, the burning candles around and the baby angel holding a skull incense burner, brought a cold and weird smell to everything...


    Of course, the Tower City kitten is not wearing the Space Marine armor, and women cannot be transformed into Astate. In fact, let alone the Tacheng kitten, even Duanmu Huai was not wearing the armor of the Space Marine. After all, only those who have been transformed into Astarte can wear it. Even if Duanmu Huai has a similar body shape and height to Astarte, he has not been modified, so he naturally has no way to wear that armor.


    In fact, Duanmu Huai’s power arbor is exclusive to humans. Connect to the dynamic anaer via the external direct nerve and then manipulate. The armor of the Tacheng Kitten comes from the combat nun. It is not as wide as Duanmu Huai''s power armor, but is more close-fitting. It only adds a half-body armor and shoulder armor to the upper body, and then a jet backpack. The lower body is the combination of the original tights and steel boots.


    Of course, compared to the pure steel creations like Duanmuhuai, the combat nun''s costumes are more lightweight. However, there are also parts that the Inquisition must not compromise. For example, the part of the chest respirator is a golden skull, and the marks of the skull and the eagle are also drawn on the shoulder armor.


    “Dong!”


    Finally, the power hammer that was one head taller for the Hetacheng kitten fell in front of her, and the entire armor was assembled.


    "This is really...why...?"


    Looking at the Tacheng kitten in front of him with a complicated expression, Rias was a little unaware of what to say. The Tacheng kitten wearing armor could not tell at all what she usually looked like. Her originally petite body was now buried in the wide half-body armor with a red bottom and gold edges.


    The entire armor looks ferocious, with mud seals and holy words on both sides of the huge shoulder armor. Below the middle of the neck, there is a golden skull pattern in the middle of the black respirator mouth. The lower half of the face of the Tacheng kitten is sealed by a respirator, giving people the feeling that a little girl has been transformed into some mechanical monster...


    "Is it really okay? Kitten? Are there any discomforts?"


    Narise Mio walked forward tremblingly, watching the Tacheng kitten ask, while the Tacheng kitten shook his head.


    "No, everything is normal."


    "It seems...it does seem to be very strong."


    Lias also came over now, looking at the Tacheng kitten with a complicated expression.


    “What should I do next?”


    "Any equipment is the fastest to be familiar with in actual combat."


    Duanmuhuai is obviously a practical faction who teaches people to swim, just kicks the other party into the water.


    "It just so happens that the ranking competition between you and Sidi''s family is about to begin? Wouldn''t you know then?"


    That’s right, as the aftermath of the banquet, it is also the beginning of this year’s Devil Ranking Competition. The first game is the Lies’s family vs. Sidi’s family. That''s why everyone came to the church to change their clothes after the banquet. Of course, it was only the devil who was not energetic during the day and had fun at night.


    If you were humans, you would have to play a game until twelve o''clock in the evening and you would not have someone to go to bed. Who can stand it?


    Like before fighting against the Phoenix family, this official ranking battle is also through the demon''s teleportation array, then teleported to the alien space created by the demon, and then fighting in that simulation scene.


    After Duanmu Huai and his group were teleported to a different space, the voice of the last ranking director rang again.


    [Everyone, I am the referee of the two ranking games of Gimmonri and Sidi, and Grefia, the relatives of Lucifer. In the name of my master, Thurjex Lucifer, I will witness this battle between the two families. This battlefield was based on the department store near Komakoto College where Lord Rias was attended by Lord Cangna. The current location of the camps between the two sides is the base camp. When soldiers are about to be promoted, please go to the base camp]


    There is basically no change from the previous competition rules.


    [Also, there are special rules for this competition - it is to prohibit the destruction of department stores as battlefields]


    “…………”


    Hearing this, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at Duanmu Huai.


    Even fools can guess who this rule was formulated for.


    After all, if Duanmu Huai hits it with a hammer no matter what place he enters in the future, then everyone else will stop playing.


    "Look at what I''m doing. Since that''s the case, then come on."


    Facing everyone''s gaze, Duanmu Huai waved his hand indifferently, and then looked for a sofa next to him and lay down.


    "I''m just here to sleep."


    This time it is an official ranking competition. It is not as personal as before with Phoenix. Duanmu Huai also knows Cangna - after all, the other party is the student president, and Duanmu Huai often deals with Duanmu Huai, as a teacher. It''s a bit embarrassing to do something.


    Now, I’m going to target the rules specifically for Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai doesn’t have to consider fighting anymore, find a place to sleep. Anyway, with him guarding the base camp, anyone who comes will die. As long as you don’t lose, you will win!


    It is just twelve o''clock in the evening that humans are sleeping, so why don''t they sleep?


    Seeing Duanmuhuai lying on the sofa and closing her eyes, Rias breathed a sigh of relief. Although she did want to use this method to bring her closer relationship with the court, Rias didn''t want to rely on Duanmuhuai every time she fought. Now that Duanmu Huai doesn''t take action, then... she has a chance to perform.


    Thinking of this, Rias also looked at everyone and cheered up.


    "Then, let''s prepare to take action."
