At the 6th day, Sona's Peerage finally visited Rias mansion. When they arrived there they saw the group having a lesson about history of the supernatural world. They immediately stopped when they saw Sona and her team coming in their house. "How's training Sona?" Rias asked her friend since they never saw each other in these past 5 days.
"Hm, how should I say this.. it went very well?" Replied Sona not sure what to say since they got so strong that people would be baffled when they hear it. "Oh? It went well?...How about a practice fight Sona? My peerage vs yours" Rias challenged Sona while having a smirk on her face, confident that she wouldn't lose. Rias's Peerage are more rare than Sona since she has a Nekoshou and a Half Fallen while Sona only has normal people.
"I accept" Sona didn't refuse Rias's challenge since she's also curious about how they would fare against a same generation peerage. While Sona and Rias are talking Xander was holding Koneko on his lap while petting her making the girl squirm in his hold. "S-Senpai, please stop.." Even though Koneko's mouth is denying it, she was actually feeling good inside, she was just embarrassed to admit it.
Sona and Rias finally stopped talking making Koneko sigh in relief, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back if Xander didn't stopped there. "So? How is it? Did you have an understanding?" Xander asked Sona if she and Rias will still fight. "Uh, no. They're preparing right now, let's get in there" Sona said while teleporting them in a empty world just like an Rating Game.
After a few minutes, Rias's Peerage finally arrived and they immediately prepared themselves. "Sona, are you ready? Everyone in my group is already excited" Rias said while glancing at Sona's team noticing that they are not as excited as they are. 'This is Sona like thing, maintaining calmness during a fight' Rias praised Sona in her mind.
"Were ready too Rias, let's start already." Sona said while instructing Tomoe to move forward making Rias confuse as for what she is doing, Rias set is aside as she prepared her team.
After readying themselves, Xander volunteered to be the Judge as he appeared in the middle of the two teams and raised his hands "Are you both ready?" He asked making sure that there's no problem which the both of them accepted.
"Fight!" The moment Xander said that, everyone in the Gremory team except for Rias went down, if anyone looked carefully they could see that their eyes were rolled indicating that they already lost consciousness."...Huh?" Rias could only gape as she couldn't understand what's happening. One moment after the fight started and they already lost?
"Sona's team win!" Xander's judgement snapped Rias in her daze state, she was about to protest that she is still standing but she suddenly felt the hair on her neck rising, she finally realize the blood dripping on her neck. "What..?" Rias turned her head looking for the person who did this to her, as she saw Tomoe sheathing her katana making her shocked as the one who beat her peerage wasn't Sona but just a normal Knight.
After that Rias fainted on the spot, Xander carried the team Rias and returned them in the Gremory mansion. After doing that Xander went to Sona side while praising Tomoe for her sword skill that already reached level 3. Every has an unspoken rule of not questioning Xander, they have blind faith on him since in their mind, Xander is the strongest person on the Draconic Deus.
They now treated Xander as their boss since she is their King's fiancee and also their teacher. "Sona, are you sure about that? That would leave a scar on her mind you know? Knowing that her childhood friend's normal peerage already surpassed hers" Xander asked Sona while Sona just replied "It's fine, this is Rias were talking about, she won't fall just because of this one issue, though that reaction of her was quite good" Sona was satisfied with Rias's reaction as she was always behind Rias in terms of everything except intelligence.
"So you also has that side huh~?" Xander said trying to tease Sona, which was effective "S-Shut up! Leave me alone!" Sona said while trying to hide her embarrassment. The others could only stare at them with dull eyes, they were afraid that they would get diabetes just from watching this two.

When the night arrived, Xander finally decided to visit Sakurasou, Misaki's feelings should have calm down now. Xander teleported near the dorm and walked towards it. He knocked the door and was greeted by excited Shiina 'Did she wait near the door for the few days I was away?' Xander couldn't help but sympathize with this lonely girl.
"..Welcome back, Xander" Shiina said with a sweet smile on her face. "I'm back, Shiina" Xander said returning the smile back to her. "Cough, cough, I'm hungry, cook something Xander" they were interrupted by a loud coughing as they saw Chihiro standing at their side while shamelessly asking Xander.
"Yes, yes" Xander smiled at this old woman's antics. Xander loved cooking and he would get benefits for the long term if he just cook for them. The moment he entered the living room, he was greeted by a smiling Jin and bubbly Misaki who is already salivating. "Hi, Mitaka-kun, Kamiigusa-san" Xander waved his hands towards them while proceeding towards the kitchen.
"You're late! Xander-kun, where did you go from! My body can't handle without you~!" Misaki said some words that could be misunderstood, but since everyone here is already used to her antics, they just ignored it. "Are you gonna cook again tonight, Ranvil-kun?" Jin asked while smiling at Xander.
"Its been a while since I cooked for this household, so I'll be the one cooking tonight, and also you can call me Xander" Xander said while rolling his sleeves ready to cook dinner again. Tonight, he's going to cook steak, he'll be using some monster meat wondering what would happen if normal people eat it.
After a hour, he emerged from the kitchen with the trays where the steak was in his hands and was met by expectant gaze from the residents of the dorm. Seeing this Xander couldn't help but sigh because he underestimated the effect of his cooking. Everyone was surprised that there was a extra portion Xander bought "Ranvil, why is there another portio- oh, is that for me? Did you finally realize my charm?" Chihiro said while raising her chin with proud voice. "No, this is for the other Resident, you have another one right?" They were surprised by Xander's words wondering how he knew that.
The one who were surprised to most among of them is the man himself, he got alerted thinking that maybe Xander is a hacker that hijacked his system. However, Xander's next words made him calm. "If you're wondering how I knew that, you see I have quite a sensitive hearing, I can even hear a clicking sound right now, a computer perhaps? Oh it stopped, is he monitoring us?" Xander words made their mouth twitch, 'Is this even a human?' that's what they thought thinking about Xander made their head ache so they just stopped and focused on the food.
They were surprised when the food he cooked was Steak, and not just any steak, they can see that it was a high class one. "Hey, Xander-kun, are you sure we don't need to pay for this? This look expensive as hell!" Misaki said exaggeratedly. "Yes, this was given to me by someone, it would be a waste if I just left it in the freezer so eating it would be the best" They could only accept his words and started eating.
The reaction was the same as before, uncontrolled moaning of pleasure was heard in the roadside making the neighbour wonder who is so gutsy to moan this hard when the night is still early.
In the middle of eating, Chihiro suddenly remembered something, "Right, Xander, you can meet the editor tomorrow in the evening" Chihiro said as she gave the details to Xander. Xander was happy that he can finally meet a editor who can handle his work while he do his own thing. "Okay, I'll remember it" Xander replied as they continue eating their food.
After eating they suddenly felt a unusual change on their body "Huh? Is it just me or my strength is growing?" Chihiro said while the others also started to notice it. "Nah, its probably just your imagination" Xander stopped them before their thoughts could go deep on it. He finally know that monster meats can make a human body sturdier.
Its already late and Xander already said his goodbye towards the residents of the dorm as he walked to his home to feel the cold air of the night, when he suddenly saw a black cat far away from his position, he felt something supernatural about the cat so he concluded that it is Kuroka in her nightly walks. Xander used his level 4 Intimidation skill on Kuroka making her jump on the spot and immediately ran away. Xander chuckled seeing that not knowing that in the future another cat would enter his life.
