Chapter 24

Sairaorg's eyes widened as he realized the truth in Alastor's words. He had been relying too much on brute strength, letting his emotions drive his actions without fully mastering the energy he wielded.

"Control, focus, and a clear mind—that's what makes a true king," Alastor continued, his gaze piercing. "You're strong, Sairaorg. But you still have much to learn."

With that, Alastor released Sairaorg's hand and stepped back, his expression softening slightly. "Don't take it personally. This is just how I train my opponents to become stronger."

Sairaorg remained on his knees, breathing heavily as he processed what had just happened. He had given everything he had, but it still wasn't enough. Yet, rather than feeling defeated, he felt a renewed sense of determination. Alastor was right—there was still so much more for him to learn, and he wasn't going to let this loss define him.

As the hologram ended, Akeno and Rias sat in silence, absorbing what they had just witnessed.

"He's incredible," Akeno finally said, her voice filled with admiration. "But also terrifying. He's not just strong—he's a teacher, a mentor, and... something more."

Rias nodded, her thoughts echoing Akeno's sentiments. "Yes, and that's what makes him so dangerous. He's not just a fighter—he's a strategist. He sees the bigger picture, and he knows exactly how to push others to their limits. But... it's also what makes him so valuable."

Akeno turned to Rias, a curious look in her eyes. "Do you think he'll be able to help Kiba and us the way he helped Sairaorg?"

Rias thought for a moment before answering. "I think he already has. Alastor has a way of seeing the potential in others, of understanding what drives them. If anyone can help Kiba overcome his demons, it's him."

Akeno smiled, feeling a sense of hope. "Then let's trust him, Rias. If Alastor is willing to help, then maybe we'll all come out of this stronger."

"Oh, buy the way, I heard that you both are sleeping together at night." Akeno said.

Rias started blush at the statement.

"That's because Alastor said he can't sleep without hugging something." Rias said to clarify any misunderstanding.

"Ara Ara, Then it won't be problem If I replace you, Right." Akeno said. "And he is been my crush, You know."

"No,"

"Ara, You look so cute when you are serious, Rias." Akeno said then she looked outside the window.

Alastor spent the rest of the day training with Kiba and sparing and soon it was time for him to meet with Sona. She had promised to show him around Kuoh after all.

Thought it was more like he asked to for a date.

"I had fun, Kiba. Let's train again sometime." He said to Kiba who had a traumatized expression on his face as he was lying in the grass, huffing as he was covered in sweat. 'Please... never again...' Kiba hoped to all the devils that he could hope to.

Alastor walked away with a smile on his face as he looked forward to his date with Sona.

Soon, he reached the Student Council Room which Rias had told him was the room for Sona and her peerage.

He flared his power to let them know that he was arriving and pushed open the door.

As he walked in, he realized that Sona's peerage was already in a tensed position, "I flare my presence so that you know that I'm here, not because I want you to become nervous." He said as he looked at Sona.

"You could knock to let us know of your presence, Alastor- san..." Sona's Queen said politely, "You're Tsubaki Shinra, right?" He asked, ignoring her words, "Y-Yes," She said with a stutter, hoping that she didn't offend him.

"I don't like knocking on doors." He said before looking back toward Sona, "You ready, Sona?" He asked her with a smile. "Just give me a moment. Dismissed," She ordered her peerage before going to a separate area behind a screen and changing her clothes.

A moment later, she came out wearing a nice navy blue dress that hugged her figure and went to the middle of her bare thighs accentuated by the presence of matching blue heels. "Let's go, Alastor..." She said as she walked up to him.

"That's really a cute dress."He said as he grabbed her hand and walked out of the student council room.

Sona just started blush at this. It was not there first time holding hands or going on date but for Sona its looks like it was always the first time.

"Mind if we go get something to eat first, Sona?" He asked her. "Sure, there's a nice cafe nearby," She agreed. They both walked out of the school which was by now completely empty, everyone had already left.
