The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 9: Unruly Introduction

...

"So, why did you want us to gather here?"

"Why so? Hmm...?" Gillian glanced up, thinking. "As I told you, Ojou-Sama, to measure you and your capabilities. To know exactly what material I am working with during this one week. To know your capabilities and to start to formulate a plan based on your strengths and weaknesses."

"Ufufufu! Gillian-chan think she can defeat us? How entertaining."

"Ah, Gillian, you might be strong, but please, don't underestimate us. We are Buchou's pieces, after all. We are not like those fallen you beat previously. As well, Riser underestimated you; you caught him off guard with that holy water. After seeing you doing it, it is not likely the same could happen with us." Kiba warned Gillian, not wanting to hurt her — even after how unruly she acted, he still considered her a friend. It was strange, but that was the case.

"Guys? Is that all right? I mean, she is still a human, what if she gets injured?" Issei glanced around, unsure, not really wanting to hurt her.

Aside from Motohama and Matsuda, she was the only one who appreciated girls like them and did not right away shun them or call them perverts — on top of that, she was also a girl, that was enough to appreciate her more than his long time comrades.

"I also dislike it, Issei, but she asked for it. Let's get this over with so we can return to our training."

Rias was aware, Gillian was abnormal compared to a normal human — though still a human, according to her senses and the devices they used to measure her.

She might have been able to defeat a few low ranked Fallen and exorcists, so what? She might defeat Riser after using unruly methods. So what? Gillian still couldn't possibly stand a chance against her highly trained group. They already knew her tricks, and the fact that she plays dirty! For someone like her to defeat them after all the gathered information in their possession was highly unlikely!

The data she collected about her was enough to conclude the best tactic, that being, eliminate her as fast as possible before she could pull any of her tricks. Yes, Rias was confident in her group's victory. She was confident, this time, their group would come out as the victor!

"So... which one of you wants to come first? Or maybe you all want to come at once? I don't mind! Really. In fact, I'd advise you all to attack at once! Also, come up with several tactics first. I will wait until you finish..."

Rias lowered her head, sighing before making her decision.

"It is decided... Koneko, if you may..." Her dear Rook would be enough.

Rias was confident both Koneko's speed and strength was above that of a human. Whatever trick Gillian wanted to pull, Koneko would simply shake it off and eliminate her with a decisive strike. It was no question. No matter who this human was, against the skilled Koneko who possessed durability unmatched, Gillian had no chance.

She had been lucky with Riser, using the weakness of devils to catch him off guard. A thing that would not happen with her servant — as they already saw that trick!

"Really?" Gillian scoffed, squinting her eyes almost as if she would be offended. "I'll say it once again, attacking me individually and without a plan will only lead to your defeat. I ask you to reconsider your choice, or taste the "stinky" taste of defeat."

"I am confident in Koneko's skills. It is you who should reconsider your choice and give up. If you can beat her, I will reconsider an all-out battle against you." Rias spoke, crossing her arms confidently, nodding to Koneko. "Look out for her petty tricks. You read the reports. She might try to pull dirty moves against you or use holy water again. Avoid it and end her fast! Give her no chance!"
