If Kiba was surprised by the lance suddenly thrusting towards him he didn't show it and instead bended backwards as the spear passed just above his head.

Recovering quickly the Knight grabbed Gae Bolg's shaft and brought the spear up to meet his electrified demonic sword,

eyes widening Issei had no choice but to let go the spear entirely as it became charged with electricity.

Kiba just threw the spear to the opposite end of the courtyard where it stuck into the ground and walked over to where Issei was standing.

"Do you wish to yield Issei-kun?" asked the Knight.

"No way, it's no longer just my pride and honor alone on the line anymore Kiba. Someone told me to fight well and get strong and I can't do that if I just give up whenever things get tough," replied Issei.

Their three observers just stared at him like he was mad while Kiba himself just had a surprised look on his face before he nodded in understanding, "very true forgive me for insulting you Issei-kun. Shall we finish this?"

"If you think you can," smirked Issei.

Kiba just smiled before his image began to blur again and this time Issei grinned as he sent out a punch to the space beside him and was rewarded with the shocked face of the blonde Knight.

If anyone had taken the time to look at Issei's fist they would have seen, for the briefest moment, what appeared to be a green glowing gem embedded in it as it hit Kiba's stomach.

Much to the shock of everyone, including Issei himself, the blonde devil was sent flying across the courtyard from the force of the punch.

Issei immediately used this to his advantage as he rushed over to Gae Bolg and brought the spear up just in time to smash Kiba in the gut with the blunt end of the lance.

The Knight staggered slightly before he dived to the ground and quickly rolled to his feet as the blood red lance pierced the spot he had just vacated.

"What was that you said Kiba? Only a few humans can keep up with a Devil Knight? Well it looks like I'm one of them," smiled Issei as he twirled the spear back into a ready position.

"Indeed it appears I underestimated you Issei-kun," laughed Kiba eagerly as he brought his electrified demonic sword back up to its own stance.

Issei and Kiba just both charged each other with their demonic weapons and the three observers were shocked as the two combatant's became a blur of movement that even their eyes struggled to track, kicking up dust in the process that further obscured the pair.

Eventually the dust settled and Rias was shocked to see Gae Bolg pressed against Kiba's chest, directly where his heart would be while Kiba's sword was hovering against Issei's neck.

"It would appear to be a draw Issei-kun," commented Kiba with a smile as he removed the sword from the teen's neck.

"Apparently so," replied Issei, doing the same as he dismissed Gae Bolg and pocketed the card.

"That was incredible Issei-kun, who taught you to use a spear like that?" questioned Kiba.

"Ah actually no one did, I'm self-taught," replied Issei truthfully, and grinned at Kiba's shocked expression.

"I see and how long have you been practicing for?" continued the Knight curiously.

"A little while," lied Issei as he yawned and approached the three observers, not seeing Kiba's suspicious glance at him as he followed.

"Rias I'm beat, if you don't mind I'm going to head home," informed the teen.

The devil broke out of her shocked stupor and simply nodded, "of course Issei, remember to come to the clubroom during break period okay?"

"Sure thing Rias," he replied and left the courtyard, leaving the devils to silently comprehend what they just saw.

The crow just silently watched the events from its perch in the tree before flying away, easily avoiding the devil's defenses and laughing at the foolish Fallen Angel attempting to spy on the group,

it had seen what it wanted to see and now it had to report on these new events. That style of fighting was definitely the same as his, granted it was a weaker version of it but still, how did that boy mimic it to such a degree?

And that spear, there was no doubt that it was his spear.

But that was impossible his spear was currently being hidden back in the Otherworld at this very moment with her colleagues,

yet at the same time it was here in the domain of the Shinto faction. The others would not be pleased to hear about this…especially Lugh.

The crow sighed as it continued flying until it was out of sight where there was a flash of light and the bird vanished.

"He's hiding something," accused Kiba with a frown once they were sure Issei had gone.

"What do you mean Kiba?" asked Rias seriously.

The Knight just frowned, "Buchou there is no way that someone can become that skilled with a spear by being 'self-taught.'

Even if they had years to practice there would still be flaws in their technique, and yet the skill Issei-kun displayed was at the very least at a master level."

"Next keep in mind that he only awoke his Sacred Gear yesterday, even a master fighter would take weeks to become accustom to a new weapon like that and yet he wields it like he has had it for years.

It just doesn't add up," continued Kiba.

"I see," frowned Rias before she turned to Akeno. "How did the search go?"

Akeno just shook her head, "I did what you told me last night but I couldn't find any record of a Sacred Gear by the name of Akashi.

I even requested the help of the Student Council but they couldn't find anything either."

"If Sona can't find anything on it then it is a lost cause," sighed Rias as she began rubbing her temples in frustration.

"That's assuming Akashi really is his Sacred Gear," replied Kiba as his frown deepened.
