"You also can\'t underestimate her mother who manages to tame a guy like her dad," Yoruichi added.

For the next few days, Kisuke \'peacefully\' spent his time on school while recuperating and stabilizing his Reiryoku-Ki. He only needs a few more days to recover his raw power. Kisuke\'s research time is also focused on Reiryoku-Ki based Kidou and successfully converted up to level 90. After he\'s done with Kidou, he\'ll practice a bit of his Hollow Transformation to make sure nothing is amiss with this new kind of power source. And if no problem came up, Kisuke will have a talk to Benihime to propose some of his ideas to reach her \'True Blade\' state. Then he\'ll focus on Sacred Gears and some of his free time on the Hougyoku which now only have a few cracks in it. Kisuke doesn\'t know when will it fully recover as its recovery rate varies from time to time.
Sona, on the other hand, couldn\'t have a very quiet time with Kisuke\'s \'peaceful\' days. Sona kept losing and losing to him not just in the game of chess. She asks for a game of Go and Shogi but still couldn\'t win. Sona kept hounding Kisuke for games to the point that rumors of Kisuke blackmailing the StuCo President to become his servant became so pronounced that everyone on the school already knew of it and still adding flavor to the rumor like Sona is pregnant with Kisuke child and won\'t take responsibility.
Sona\'s peerage members were, of course, outraged at this rumor. They set out to quell the fire that is already very hard to put out. They also asked their Master of what\'s going on, but she wouldn\'t give them an answer. They asked Tsubaki who is her right hand but only let out a few words, "She wants to win against him or else her future is only with him."
Her words shook the members and even Rias\' group when they heard about it and they let their imaginations run wild with all sorts of fantasies drilling into their minds. The most affected of these words was Saji Genshirou, Sona\'s newest servant and her pawn.
Saji is a young man with short blond hair and grey eyes. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys\' school uniform, albeit without the blazer and his sleeves are rolled up. He is the possessor of the Dragon-type Sacred Gear known as Absorption Line, the main reason Sona took him in.
Saji\'s most admired person is Sona, so when he heard the ambiguous relationship between his Master and the top pervert in the school\'s history, he challenged him to a duel. Saji and the rest of the peerage already knew that Kisuke is an inhabitant of the supernatural world and they also heard from Tsubaki that Sona even tried inviting him to become her servant.
When Saji proposed a duel, Sona and Tsubaki were not around to supervise him as they returned to Underworld for some quick business that needs her presence and his fellow members didn\'t stop him, on the contrary, they seem to support it. They also want to know what\'s the deal with this guy who came out of nowhere.

"Urahara Kisuke! I challenge you to a duel!" Saji invited Kisuke to the old school building to say such. There are already quite a few people who want to spectate. In the front seat are Sona\'s peerage members and surprisingly, all of Rias\' Group, including the new transfer student who entered the school a few days ago, Asia Argento. She\'s quite close with Issei and apparently, she\'s also living with him now, making Issei gloat at both Motohama and Matsuda. Aika is also quite close to Asia and kept suggesting sexual stuff that can end up corrupting the innocent maiden.
"And what do I get if I win?" Kisuke ignored the spectators and crossed his arms asking Saji of the stakes. But what caught the audience\'s attention is the black cat silently sitting on his head.
"President, why are we watching them fight?" Issei who only knows about Kisuke and Saji being a normal people along with the rest of the Student Council members asks Rias. He wanted to ask Kisuke why he brought \'Yoru\' to school but he\'s more curious about what\'s happening and didn\'t want to interrupt them. Asia also has the same confused expression and opened her ears to listen. Kisuke is one of the people who welcomed her kindly and wants to know the reason, but more importantly, she wants to stop the fight because someone might get hurt.
"We haven\'t introduced each other\'s new members yet so it\'s understandable that you don\'t know about them," Rias answered Issei with a smile on her face also anticipating the fight, her focus is especially on Kisuke, this anomalous guy.
"New members?" Issei and Asia simultaneously ask.
"Sona-Kaichou is a High-Class Devil like Buchou and her peerage is all of the Student Council members. Their newest member is that Genshirou Saji, a pawn like you." Akeno replied to the question this time.
"They are also Devils!? I didn\'t know that we this many Devils at School!" Issei and exclaimed and Asia also has a similar expression.
Issei thought of something and ask again, "So Kisuke is a Devil too?" He didn\'t know how he would react to this as one of his best friends turns out to be a Devil.
"No, you\'re wrong. As far as we are concerned, he is a Human." Rias narrowed her eyes and said.
"A Human? Then why is a Devil asking him out for a duel?" Issei is already prepared to intervene but wants to know more about the situation so he kept asking.
"Because of the rumors about Sona and him I presume," Akeno replied, her attention is also on Kisuke trying to gleam more about him.
"Then we should stop this! Kisuke would only get hurt! He may be sturdy, but that\'s about it. I\'m sure he won\'t fare great against magic!" Issei is about to go between them but Koneko grabbed his shirt\'s collar dropping him to the floor.
"I never said that he\'s a normal Human. We only discovered him not long before we found you. Remember Koneko\'s instant acceleration technique? Someone close to him taught her that, am I correct, Koneko?" Rias explained and asks for confirmation with Koneko.
"Yes, Buchou." Koneko replied simply, but inside, she wanted to laugh, \'That person who is close to him is really \'close\' to him right now. She\'s sitting on his head.\'
"There\'s something like that?" Now Issei gave up the idea of intervening as he too, wants to know more about his, now, mysterious friend.
Only Asia wants to stop the upcoming fight but everyone ignored her.
