High school DXD The path of the sekiryutei!

Chapter 36 Go for the gold Kuoh Academy!

"Eh?"

"Hold on tight Rias." Issei said with a smile causing the surprised third year to blush as she relaxed her arms around his neck.

Issei took off like a rocket Rias laughing in his arms as they approached the finish line at a fast pace.

"I'm not finished yet Hyoudou!" Saji said as he began to catch up with Issei a pair of glasses held in his hand.

"Time for me to show you how much effort I put in when my president is watching me personally!" Issei said as he once again astounded another one of his rivals with his superior effort and abilities.

"Looks like I just like Kiba, have more training to do" Saji said as he was powerless to advance further than Issei.

"And once again, Issei Hyoudou wins the gold! Followed by Saji of the student council and Matsumoto of Class 2-C." Kiryu announced as the race came to an end.

"Sorry for picking you up like that so suddenly Rias." Issei said with a blush on his face after he just realised how bold he acted in front of everyone else.

"It's okay Issei, after all, it is my job as your master to support you. By the way, what was it you had to borrow to win the race?" Rias asked curious to as how she was so lucky to be picked.

"See for yourself." Issei said handing her the paper.

"No way." Rias said as she realised how special and lucky she was.

Rias read the words clearly on the piece of paper which read, (Cheerleader)

It just occurred to Rias, how special she must be for Issei to choose her out of every other girl there when this act alone could have made their relationship discovered. When he had other alternatives to choose from in order to avoid this from happening.

She also realised how lucky she was and how her jealously somehow managed to help her for a change. Because in fact, if Rias decided to ignore Issei's fan club of cheerleaders and decided to not become a cheerleader herself, she would have had to witness Issei carry another girl across that finishing line.

Rias blushed and felt like she wanted to embrace Issei there and then. To thank her lucky stars that she met Issei and for her brother who resurrected him as a devil. But she held back the urge. Telling herself she would show Issei her gratitude in a more secluded and private area. So she did all she could do at this point.

"You did great. Congratulations." Rias said making a certain individual carrying a bucket of water behind them very frustrated.

"Why is it always Issei?!" The individual thought to themselves as they walked towards him.

Matsumoto was so steamed, that it would not be surprising if the bucket of water he collected for the borrowing race, were to start to boil in his hands.

A mischievous grin appeared on his face as he emptied the contents of the bucket aiming it towards Rias now as she had changed back into her white PE t-shirt.

"President Rias!" Issei shouted as he managed to defend Rias' uniform from becoming see-through much to Matsumoto's disappointment and to the overwhelming delight of the girls of the Issei Hyoudou fan club.

"Wow! Look that idiotic pervert Matsumoto did something right for a change!"

"Kya look at those muscles!" Another girl said seeing Issei's muscular form previously concealed under his t-shirt.

"Ahhh I want him right now!" One girl said and it was indeed a tough task for Rias Gremory to stop herself from saying right now that they couldn't have him.
