"SILENCE!" the ratman shrieked, "Die-die-die-die-die-die-die-die-die!"
"You first!" Issei grunted as he kicked Farsqueaker in his rotund belly, making him stagger back, then stuck his swords into the rat's body, one in the chest and one through the stomach.
"Gah…no…how…could this…" the rat rasped, "I…am a…genius! How could I…lose…to a Man-Thing?!"
With that, Farsqueaker slumped, Issei drawing his swords out to allow the body of the Grand Packmaster to fall to the floor completely. He then went over and gave Boneripper a mercy stroke, severing its head. He then dismissed the [Boosted Gear], with only seconds to spare on the timer.

"OK…that's cool." Issei said with a grin. He was curious about the necklace so he equipped it and was taken aback by the loud trumpeting that came out of nowhere.
[Congratulations!]
You have gathered the three pieces of the [Unknown] set of equipment! You gain ¥1000!
Acquiring all pieces of the [Unknown] set grants you one random lesser skill!
You gain [Lesser HP Regeneration]!
[Lesser HP Regeneration] (Passive) [LV1, 00.00]
The regeneration rate of half-devils and lesser demons.
- Regeneration Rate of 1HP every 15 Minutes.
Issei nodded happily. He'd needed something like that, since HP potions didn't seem to be forthcoming for whatever reason. He then checked out the [Dissimulator Necklace].
[Dissimulator Necklace]
Part of the Unknown set. This necklace alters the voice of the user to be utterly gender neutral and inflectionless. As a result, however, you suffer a 25% penalty to any attempt to any [Persuade] or [Seduce] actions taken while wearing this necklace.
"Really?" he said, and then paused in surprise. He really sounded different!
"Now to get outta here…" he said, only for the door to slam shut behind him. Again.
Issei shook his head in exasperation. He really should have expected that, but no, he had to open his mouth.
"Well then, if I were a way out, where would I be?" Issei muttered, his eyes locked onto the box where Farsqueaker had stood when he had initially entered the arena. Resolved, Issei jogged over to the box and used his new daggers to climb up to the box. Just as he hopped over the edge, however, the arena door cracked, crumbled and collapsed. Issei put his hood up rather hastily. Then his jaw dropped as he saw who was striding through the shattered doorway.
Rias Gremory LV40
[Heiress of the House of Gremory/Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess]
Akeno Himejima LV38
[Queen of Gremory/Priestess of Lightning]
Kiba Yuuto LV 35
[Knight of Gremory/Holy Sword Project Sole Survivor]
Tōjō Koneko LV33
[Rook of Gremory/Shirone]
"What the hell?!"
Issei was having trouble adjusting to this situation.
Being targeted by a weird secret society that hated paranormals and supernaturals was one thing. Having four of the most popular members of my school glare him down was quite another.
[Gamer's Mind] Activated!
Whew. That was a relief. Now he could plan things out properly.
Rias Gremory was one of the 'Two Great Onee-sama' of Kuō Academy. Her western beauty was highly attractive, just as her mysterious air lent the allure of the unknown to her. President of the Occult Research Club, it was completely unknown what they got up to in their Clubhouse in the old school building.
Similarly, Himejima Akeno was the other Great Onee-sama of the Academy and was the Yamato Nadeshiko to Rias' Western Beauty. Rumours had it she was the keeper of a Shinto Shrine somewhere in Kuō. Also a member of the ORC.
Yuuto Kiba was the so-called 'Prince' of the Academy and was disliked by almost all the males, but especially by Issei, Motohama and Matsuda. Aside from being kind and considerate to all females, nobody really knew much about him. Also a part of the ORC.
