[3rd POV]
It was a couple of days later when Morgan had decided to start the first round of training with Sona. After preparing the supplies and materials she needed to properly teach them, she had set it all up within her property. The supplies needed weren't much, so it didn't take long to do. It was more so preparing an area in her property that would be good for training, which is what took her a couple of days to complete.
During those couple of days, Morgan had also taken the liberty to spruce up the mansion's massive library, adding various books that she or her peerage had yet to read, giving them all the necessary materials to continue to learn. She had also added some beginner books that would eventually make it to Sona and her peerage to be used for their own training.
At the moment Morgan was sitting outside, in an open rocky area of her property as she waited for Sona and her peerage to get there. She could feel as they entered her premises as her wards would tell her when anyone entered, with the group having already gotten permission to enter, allowing them to enter without the wards killing them, or at least trying to.
"Good, you're all here" Morgan said as the group walked to where she was, being escorted by one of her High class maids that she had brought to the mansion with her, one of 3 that she had taken with her.
"I apologize for being late. Finding your home was...a lot more difficult than I had anticipated" Sona said, knowing they were late by a few minutes, which was not something she liked doing, being late reflected poorly on her, and her peerage, and she didn't like that.
"Hmm? Oh you're fine, Sona. My land has wards around it that confuses those that get close. Once you've entered my land once, it won't do it again, so you won't need to worry about being late like this again" Morgan replied, waving it off. As she had made a "Confusion Ward" that would basically make them think they were in the wrong place, when they actually were.
Sona looked at Morgan in surprise, as she hadn't noticed the wards when she had entered Morgan's land, meaning that they were either incredibly powerful, or very very hidden, or both. From what she knew about Morgan from her sister, the woman was at LEAST at the very peak of High Class, but from what her sister had insinuated, she was actually Ultimate Class.
"That's incredible, what sort of ward is it, if I may ask?" Sona asked, not able to stop herself.
"It's a confusion ward, one that will make the target confused and think they are in the wrong area. Sort of like when you use a GPS but it takes you to the wrong location, but in this case, the target only thinks they are in the wrong location. It's a pretty simple little thing, but very effective, as you have seen" Morgan answered as the teen nodded along in understanding.
"Now, I want all of you to get lined up, It's time to see what each of you can do before I decide your individual training methods" Morgan instructed, as they did as they were told, lining up side to side, with Sona in the middle, Tsubaki on her right and Momo on her left.
"Good, now throw your strongest possible attack at me. I want to see what you can do in terms of destructive capabilities. Don't worry about harming me, none of you are even remotely strong enough to do something like that just yet" Morgan said, adding in the last part to calm down Sona before she could say anything.
"Um, can I ask, how strong are you Sensei?" Reya asked, raising her hand slightly as she asked the question all of them were wondering, even Saji.
"Hmm, I suppose I'm roughly on par with the Strongest Queen when going all out, at the moment. But from what Sera tells me, I'm growing close to her level even when not going all out" Morgan replied after a few moments of thought.
Sona and her peerage looked at her with wide eyes of awe as they heard what she had said.
Grayfia Lucifuge, aka the Strongest Queen, was known as the Strongest Queen for a reason. The woman was a Satan Class being that used to be the rival to Serafall, and a potential candidate for the Satan Leviathan position. She had been defeated by Serafall after a long battle that had lasted days, but the woman was immensely powerful, and was far beyond even an Ultimate Class being. And while she wasn't on the same level as Serafall was now, as the current Leviathan had grown stronger over the years, while Grayfia had stagnated, she was still immensely powerful.
So to hear that Morgan was on par with her (albeit when going all out) was incredible. And the fact that Serafall supported the claim, meant that it was true.
What Sona did not know was that this was without including Morgan's various Sacred gears when used to their maximums, aka, the Balance Breakers (Many of which she had unlocked by now). Should she use them, she was confident that she could defeat Grayfia, and even contend against Serafall with immense difficulty.
'If Sera-Serafall said that she's that strong, then it must be true. But to think that our new sensei is so strong...is incredible. What sort of relationship does my sister have with her to be able to get someone so powerful to teach us?' Sona thought inwardly, wondering how close the two were to one another. As no one so powerful would teach a peerage like hers, instead they'd be focusing on themselves.
"Now, throw your attacks at me, no more hesitation" Morgan said, cutting Sona out of her thoughts. Morgan had noticed what she was likely thinking about, and wanted to stop that line of thought before it caused issues. Mostly because she was certain that Serafall would tease the hell out of her if she knew.
Hearing what Morgan had said, Sona breathed out and nodded, as a large icy blue demonic circle appeared in front of her, a large dragon made of water pouring out of it, and surging towards Morgan.
Morgan watched it with a raised eyebrow, as she inwardly analysed Sona.
'Hmm, seems she's around "Low" to "Mid" High Class, if not a teensy bit higher. Meaning Rias is likely "High" High class in terms of power. But Rias is also awful at controlling that power of hers, so she'd have worse stamina. The attack itself is...rather underwhelming from what I can tell. A simple construct made through demonic energy and a circle, nothing mind blowing' Morgan thought, looking it over, unimpressed.
'She'll need training in increasing the control and power of her constructs, and physical training as well. I can tell just from looking at her, that she is lacking on the physical side of things. Perhaps some strategy training could be useful too' Morgan thought, before smiling and lifting her hand, making a swiping motion as the Dragon that was about hit her, was effortlessly dissipated and destroyed.
"Not bad at all, Sona. But from what I can tell, this is simply a construct made through water, demonic energy, and a demonic circle, right?" Morgan asked, looking at the flabbergasted Sona as the girl nodded.
"As I thought. Looks like you'll be training in control, power, increasing your physical capabilities, and finally, strategy" Morgan said, causing Sona to look at her in confusion.
"Why strategy and control? My magic is quite above par for a High Class devil" Sona asked, not understanding the point. A High class devil was amongst the best of the best of the Underworld, and there were only a limited number of them out there. So to hear that she needed to learn control, was a bit...laughable.
"You're around the middle range of High Class devils, below that friend of yours, Rias. As for why, because your control will dictate how much energy you waste making the constructs, how much control you have over them, and what you can do with them. Control is even more important to demonic energy and demonic spells than absolute power. After all, look what someone like Sirzechs can do with control over his Power of Destruction" Morgan replied, as Sona went silent.
Sirzechs was famed for the potency of his power of destruction, as well as his control over it. It was through this power, and being born with incredible talent, that he was able to rise to the level of a "Super Devil" which was the highest level a devil has ever gotten, and gave him a ranking in the highest powered beings in the world.
"I...understand. What about physical training and strategy?" Sona asked, wanting to understand.
"For physical training, it is simply because you seem...lacking in the area. Similar to what I've heard about Rias, you mostly rely on your demonic power and creating spells. Physical training would allow you to fight and defend yourself when it comes to hand to hand combat, as well as help handle the power you have, granting better control" Morgan began, before continuing.
"As for strategy. It is because it is incredibly important to every battle. And while from what I can tell, you focus on chess, that is not a good way of training your strategy for a real world scenario like a rating game. It is important to learn through actual scenarios and not just the hypothetical ones" Morgan replied, answering the girls question thoroughly.
"That...makes a lot of sense" Sona muttered, conceding to Morgan's point, as it was true. She loved chess, and it was important to her, but it was not the proper way to learn strategy, no, the only real way to learn strategy was through teachings from a proper master, or, through real world experience.
"Good, now that you understand, let's move onto the next member, this being Tsubaki" Morgan said, smiling as she went to the girls Queen, beginning her first lesson with a smile on her face, and confidence in her voice.

[3 hours later]
Hours had passed since the tort-training had begun, and during that time, Morgan had figured out the power levels of each person in the peerage. And from what she could tell, they were...pitiful, really pitiful. The first place was obviously Sona around "Mid High Class". While her second was Tsubaki who was at the peak of Middle class. Beyond that, the rest of them were all around Mid to Low Middle class, which for a High Class being like her, was...really underwhelming. Although Morgan was confident that this was someone else's dongs.
With the training finished, Morgan waved off her new students as they walked off, but now before speaking "See you tomorrow, oh, and if you're late, then you'll get beaten twice as hard~!" Morgan yelled to them as they all paled, before running off, knowing that they could not afford to be late.
Watching them leave, Morgan smiled as a voice echoed behind her, as hands pulled her right arm in between two large breasts.
"Nya~ How did they do, master~?" Kuroka asked at her side, having watched the whole thing.
"They were underwhelming and horribly weak with the things that they'll have to go against in the future. But, they have a lot of potential, more than most. If Rias's peerage is anything like Sona's, I'll need to get into contact soon, so that I can talk with her, but who knows if that will actually happen, as I've got no clue what sort of person she is" Morgan replied to her kitten as the woman just smiled.
"Nya~ I'm sure she'll answer, master, especially if Sona vouches for you" Kuroka replied with a small smirk, knowing that Sona was incredibly interested in her master, and Rias likely would soon too.
Seeing that the group had left the premises fully, Morgan chuckled at what Kuroka had said, before turning and beginning to walk off, all the while, speaking out loud.
"Well either way, I have a feeling this next month will be...interesting~"
