DxD: The Holy Knight!

"Brother is brother and I'm me." Rias lost control of her emotions and shouted loudly at Yasuhiro.

Clearly, his words struck a nerve.

He had brought up the exact things she desperately wanted to avoid.

"You have quite a loud voice, but Rias, can you tell me who you are? Are you Rias Gremory or the sister of maou Lucifer?"

Yasuhiro clapped his hands and looked directly at her.

He had saw right through her defenses.

Under his gaze, Rias felt the lies in her heart being exposed.

When faced with his question, she opened her mouth only to find her words stuck in her throat.

Who exactly was she?

Rias Gremory was the name given to her by her clan.

The crimson haired ruin princess was an empty title given to her solely because of her brother.

To the rest of the world, she was nothing more than the sister of Sirzechs.

"You have noticed it too, haven't you? The reason..."

"When people see you for the first time, they immediately think of Sirzechs."

"Then they think of you as the heir of the Gremory clan. That's all."

His words plunged Rias into a deep silence.

Everything was bestowed upon her by clan and her brother.

She didn't reject those things. Instead, she felt deeply proud of it.

She was proud of her heritage, proud to have such a brother and grateful to have been born into such a family.

"Just like your power of destruction, since you share the same demonic power as him. You will naturally be compared to him."

"This is something you cannot avoid. The main problem is that your powers are too weak and is barely worth mentioning."

Rias bit her lip hard, unable to utter a single rebuttal.

Her understanding and utilization of her own power of destruction was far too weak.

She felt as if she were disgracing her brother.

"If you want to make your voice heard then there is only one path in this world. You have to become stronger."

In his past life, Yasuhiro had a gifted classmate in high school whose talent overshadowed everyone else including the teachers.

During lunch break or after school, he remembered that when discussing class issues, everyone would always say the same things.

They would remark about how lucky he was to be in the same class as such a top student.

Even the teachers couldn't avoid similar discussions.

High school was the period in his life when he felt like he had the least presence because all attention was stolen by that talented genius.

Under the shadow of such personal brilliance, the achievements of others seemed completely insignificant.

Become stronger?

Rias murmured those words to herself.

They were so simple to say yet she didn't know where to begin.

"Yes, once you surpass your clan and even your brother. No one will able to stop you."

"After all, Most regrets in the world are caused by a lack of personal ability."

Rias and Akeno agreed with Yasuhiro about that last statement.

Though, his previous suggestion that she should become stronger and surpass her clan and Sirzechs was far too ambitious of a goal.

It felt like a complete delusion.

No matter who heard it, they would probably just laugh it off as a joke.

Rias rolled her eyes.

Only this jerk could say something so absurd with a straight face.

However, thanks to him. She finally had a clear goal.

It wasn't just about becoming stronger, as Yasuhiro had said.

Instead, Rias chose to find a way to prove herself to the clan.
