if Ise fight Zenovia in kiba place in Volume 3, Ise will surely lose even if his dress-break succesfully hit Zenovia

[n0m@n]

Speaking of Irina and Zenovia, I want to see "Dulio".
He is a former-exorcist and was the strongest Exorcist. It means that he is stronger than Zenovia and Seigfreed. Also since all of the Exorcists revealed so far is a swordsman there is a chance that he is a swordsman himself.
He is also an Longinus possesor. It's said that his Longinus is the second strongest.
He is also a reincarnated-angel. He holds the position of "Joker". Since he is an angel he would be physically stronger than Cao Cao and he can use the power of light. He is also the candidate of becoming a Seraph.


Like that, I want Dulio to appear soon. It sounds like this guy would be stronger than Cao Cao.

Reincarnated angel, former strongest exorcist with second strongest longinus.
Sound like bad guy to me.

i want to see the god of oppai pull an energizer bunny comercial where he comes out of no where walks across the screen, everyone stares and goes WTF?, and then we see a large area dress break, as he gives a thumbs up to ise and then walks off screen.

Is there any other detail about him...like can we consider him a teacher for ise like azazel or is he more the tough-bitter guy type

I like that.Maybe someone can suggest that to the LN author.

@aigormorla
There is a chance we might see the god of oppai. We find about him in volume7 which is the first volume of Story-arc 3. And volume12 would be the last volume of this arc so we may have the chance to see it. I would rather see God of Oppai then the battle against Hades.


@Richocet
He was just briefly mentioned in volume11. But he's said to be a carefree guy. He is going around the world tasting delicious food, so Azazel was pissed at him when Irina told Azazel. Irina calls him "Dulio-sama" so he is in a totally different level to her. It's said that he was always taking care of top-class devils and monsters by himself when he was an exorcist. He is in the Top-list of people Vali wants to fight.

[animefan36]

Man, so much happened in Vol 11 which makes me want to read it now!!!!

reitou yami is the reason i lurked to afraid she might notice me

If he does get her cousin's pawn, then wouldn't it be only take that 1 mutated pawn piece? That would leave Rias with 7 extra pawns

Since n0m@n is working on Volume 8, here's the rest of Volume 3, which is actually quite short.

Spoiler for Volume 3 Ending:

New Life.
A few days after the Kokabiel incident...
Ise and Asia are surprised by the foreign girl sitting in the Occult Club.
"Hey, Red Dragon Emperor." It's Zenovia.
"What...what the, why are you there!?" Ise points with shaking hands.
Zenovia reveals her new black devil wings.
"Because I found out God is no longer, I gave up and became reborn as a devil.
I obtained the Knight piece from Rias Gremory.
Although Durandal is very powerful, but I have not reached that level yet, it only took one piece.
And so, I have joined this school and will be a high school junior like you as well as a member of the Occult Club.
I'll be in your care, Ise-kun~"
"...Don't try to sound cute with such a serious expression."
"I wanted to imitate Irina, but looks like it's not working."
"Anyway, reborn! Buchou, is this the proper use of your precious piece?"
True, Zenovia already knows the truth of God's death. But still, it's so sudden!
"Anyway, the Durandal user becoming my servant is fine. Now another swordsman is born."
Rias looks quite happy.
Ise thinks to how strong holy swords are against devils and how the Gremory team will be strengthened against devils in Rating Games.
"That's right, I am a devil now. There are no other paths for me.
Wait, is this ok? Hmm, but, God is no longer, my life is ruined.
But, to become my original enemies is... Even if she is the Maou's sister..."
Zenovia starts muttering to herself and receives prayer damage like Asia.
"Anyway, where's Irina?"
"Irina took my Excalibur Destruction as well as the 4 broken Excaliburs and Balba's body back to headquarters.
The mission counts as a success since a new holy sword can be reforged as long as the core remains."
"Anyway, is it ok for you to betray the church?"
"If Excalibur was not returned it would be a problem. Unlike Durandal, Excalibur can be wielded by others.
But I'm fine as long as I have Durandal. However, I have become a heretic by knowing God is dead.
The church hates heretics so they abandoned me even though I hold Durandal, just like Asia Argento."
Ise wonders how far the church can go with rejecting heretics.
"It's fine that Irina returned with the swords. Since she was injured, left the battlefield and didn't find out the truth.
For her who is even more pious than me, I don't know if she will stay mentally balanced if she knew God is dead.
However, she thinks my becoming a devil is most unfortunate since I can't tell her God is gone.
Perhaps the next time we meet we will be enemies."
Seeing everyone has arrived, Rias speaks.
"The Church has apologized for involving the devils due to the actions of the fallen angels and their own betrayer Balba."
"This school is scary, who would have thought there are 2 Maou's sisters here." sighs Zenovia.
Another Maou's sister? Is, is it...
This school only has two high class devils. This must be -- kaichou!?
Rias nods to Ise, who begins to realize how complicated things are.
Kokabiel's damage to the courtyard and gym have been repaired by the Maou subordinates.
Ise marvels at the power of magic, but realizes that repairs are easier than complete replication used in Rating Games.
Rias also reports that the fallen angel leader Azazel has explained to the other factions that Kokabiel acted on his own to disrupt the balance and will be sentenced to eternal freezing at the deepest part of hell.
As for the interference of the White Dragon, Azazel claims it is natural for their faction to clean up their own mess.
Ise wonders about the full Balance Breaker of the Vanishing Dragon Albion and the overwhelming difference between them.
Rias also reports that the 3 factions will gather for negotiations, and that she will be attending as well.
Ise asks Zenovia. "The White Dragon is in the fallen angel faction?"
"Yes. Azazel has been gathering Longinus users for unknown reasons.
Our only conclusion is that it can't be good.
The White Dragon is one of the strongest amongst them and ranks around 4th or 5th in the Grigori.
Since he has reached Balance Breaker, he is much stronger than you his rival."
Zenovia turns to Asia and apologizes, telling her she can hit her if she likes.
Asia says she is happy with her life and smiles like the virgin Mary, forgiving Zenovia.
Zenovia's eyes are sad as she thinks how the church as treated her, the original respected holy sword wielder now a heretic.
As Zenovia prepares to leave to learn more about the school, Asia calls to her and invites Zenovia to go out and have fun with everyone for the weekend.
"Perhaps, if I have time." Zenovia is surprised by Asia's friendliness and asks Asia to show her around the school, who happily agrees.
"By the name of my holy sword Durandal -- I would like to fight with the holy demonic sword user again."
"No problem. I won't lose again."
As Kiba smiles, Zenovia leaves.
Ise feels a new kind of confidence and strength coming from Kiba.
Rias claps her hands together and begins the usual club activities.

Friends.
Ise is at karaoke, singing Dragon soball.
Matsuda and Motohama are jealous that Asia won't sing along with them.
Koneko is eating icecream, uninterested in singing. Kiryuu is busy selecting songs.
Kiba is elegantly drinking coffee while Ise curses him silently.
Ise thinks he will get Kiba and Asia to sing one day.
He also hopes for a duet with Asia, since singing with a blonde beauty is the best.
Asia is wearing gothic lolita which Ise finds too cute, and silently thanks Kiryuu for her good taste.
Saji was also invited but apparently Sona has forbidden him to go out with girls.
Ise wonders how strict Sona is with her servants.
Ise almost gets a nosebleed as he reads a text from Rias saying she is picking a swimsuit that he will like.
As Ise's imagination goes out of control...
"...Ise-senpai, your nose is bleeding."
"...Must be thinking something ecchi."
Ah! Koneko-chan, you're right!
"Ah, that thing between your legs is getting larger..."
Hey! Kiryuu! Stop using your glasses to measure me!
"...Thinking about buchou?"
Asia is getting unhappy. Ise also thinks Asia is getting sharper in these matters.
Ise escapes to the washroom to clean up.
As he exits the washroom, he meets Kiba sitting on a bench outside.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Wanted to talk to you."
Ise sits beside Kiba.
"Ise-kun. I wanted to express my gratitude -- Thank you."
This guy, he waited outside the washroom just to say this...
"...Not at all. Your comrades forgave you. Buchou and everyone forgave you. Please, don't let this bother you."
"...Ise-kun."
Kiba is calling out my name with tears in his eyes! So, so scary!
"Then, then, how about we sing my favorite song."
"Eh, Ise-kun has a favorite song?"
"Yes. If it's Dragon soball's theme song, I can sing it all day long."
"This, this takes preparation."
"What's wrong? A duet with the Occult Club's Pawn and Knight."
"Yes yes."
They return to the karaoke room, take the microphones and announce they are having a duet.
Ise sees Kiba's genuine smile for the first time.
A few days later, Ise and Kiba's BL rumors get even stronger with Kiryuu's candid photos of their karaoke duet.

As a side note, I actually don't mind if people take my summaries as a starting point for translation.
If it helps speed up the process, all the better.
But passing them off as full translations would just be wrong.

A BIG THANKS ZZHHK.Man what would have we done without you and n0m@n.

[CNine]

1 day average post is 15, too fast it's simply too fast
if this LN is famous in another country, why not in top 10 in japan?

[mike211]

Just wondering, Is the joker = to a the mutated piece? or are they completely different?

Joker is strongest card right?

[n0m@n]

Well the cards "Brave Saints" were just introduced/created after the incident in volume 4 I think. That's why only certain Seraph has it. Michael has a Ace and it's Irina. So it means that the Seraph would be the "King"and would have 12 "cards" under them. But just like in normal cards Joker doesnt belong to any of hearts, spades, diamond and club. So I think it's like a "lone" thing. But it also means that it's special since Azazel said Joker = Trump Card. So it could be considered stronger than other cards.

so Joker is like angel "freelancer" since it could become any part of card and stronger than most card?

[mike211]

So would Joker still under the king (Seraph) rules since, if you add joker card to the deck you would end up with 13 cards. Or is it when a Seraph receive their Brave Saints cards there is a 1 in 10 chance on getting a joker cards in their 12 cards deck just like the mutated piece in the evil chess piece?

[lilNewBlood]

I have a feeling that I will have hard time catching up after coming back from a 3-week trip during mar/apr when vol 12 is coming out with previews and stuff lol.

That aside, does vol 8 have a main story like the other novels. Because attaining the triana seems to be a major development in the plot so I dont think it would define as "SS"...So vol 13 will have the same format? Why do I get a feeling that somehow the devil secret will be revealed to the students in sch?

[n0m@n]

Well how the card works isnt explained yet. Only that it can make that person into an "angel". Since they were talking about possible Rating Game between "Evil=Piece" and "Brave-Saints", it might be further explained.

Personally rather than normal battles, I prefer the Rating Game match. So volume 2, 5 and 10 is good. But since Rias is still underage she wont be able to participate in a official match.



@lilNewBlood
Actually Ise gets a Triaina in volume 9. But in volume 8 last story, Ise meets Beelzebub who alters/fixes the chess piece inside Ise. But like you said that story only is a story which is created for volume 8 and an event which happens after volume 7.

[CNine]

@mike your comment in image place made me remember one of question in Baka to Test LN

maybe Joker is like mercenary since you only got a pair of joker when you buy a deck
