He's taking too long...' Jeanne complained angrily. She was now sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Next to her was Artoria.
They were both very tired, after all they had to clean up the whole house, which they had messed up themselves...
Don't get excited, he should be here any minute. Artoria said as she shrugged her shoulders to her friend. She was a little unconcerned, because she knew he had a strange teleportation ability that she had never seen in her life.
''Yes, I know, but still...'' Jeanne muttered turning her face away.
''Are you worried about me?'' Jeanne heard a whisper behind her followed by two arms hugging her causing her to cry out in surprise.
''I told you he would show up any minute.'' Artoria commented sighing, she was wondering if she should put a bell on Altair so she could know when he was coming.
''How sweet of you to be worried about me Jeanne.'' He commented as he took a light bite of her neck.
"Hey, stop it, I wasn't worried about you! Jeanne exclaimed as she blushed deeply.
''My little Jeanne, you are so sensitive.'' Altair said with a big smile at the end of his speech.
''I- I am not yours!'' She said gasping as she felt him lick her neck.
Still...'' He murmured in her ear and then bit it lightly, eliciting a soft moan from her.
Altair was wondering if this girl could be a little more honest with her own feelings.
"Stop it Altair. Artoria said in a serious manner, earning a calm look from Altair.
''That's interesting...'' he thought.
''Jealous?'' She inquired with a smile on her face, just waiting for the answer she would receive.
"No, you stink of sweat, and it's ruining the smell of the house that Jeanne and I cleaned. Go and take a shower right away!'' Artoria ordered as she covered her nose so as not to smell that strong odor emanating from Altair's body.
''Really? I don't think I stink...'' He commented as he sniffed his body to see if the smell was as bad as Artoria said.
But he could barely smell himself, because he felt something hitting his head. And he had to admit this had hurt, and when he looked at the target that had hit him, he shook his head, because Artoria had used a broom to hit him on the head.
''You hit me with a broom?'' He asked confusedly pointing to the cleaning instrument Artoria was using.
''Yes.'' Artoria replied simply.
''...''
''Now go take a bath!'' She once again exclaimed as she swung her broom in a sign that if Altair didn't go take a bath she would continue to attack him.
...
''Ok... I will go... But only because it got weird...'' Altair said in a strange way as he moved to the bathroom.
Upon confirming that he had gone to take a shower, Artoria let out a sigh of relief that even she didn't know she was holding.
''Why do you look relieved when he went out to take a shower?'' Jeanne asked confused by the act of the blonde in front of her.
It didn't look like something Artoria would do, in fact Jeanne even thought Artoria would jump on Altair and try to get him into bed.
''Didn't you notice?'' Inquired Artoria as she looked shocked at Jeanne.
''What didn't I realize?'' Jeanne asked confused by her friend's overreaction.
''On how the sweat dripping down his naked upper body made him even sexier.'' Answered Artoria sighing at Jeanne's sluggishness.
''W- Why should I notice something like that?'' Jeanne asked blushing as she turned her face avoiding looking at Artoria.
''That's because you are closer to him.'' Artoria replied as she narrowed her eyes, a note of jealousy was noticeable in her voice.
''I don't have that kind of weird fetish.'' Jeanne retorted with a slight hint of irritation in her voice, but you could see a small shade of red in her cheeks.
...
...
''Ah~ I really needed that.'' Altair commented sighing as he left the bathroom, honestly all he wanted now was to go straight to his bed and never leave there ever again.
''Master, I would like to ask you something...'' Jeanne said as she opened the door but stopping a short time later when she saw how Altair was in his room.
Altair had a towel over his shoulders, leaving all the rest of his body, completely naked.
Jeanne could see everything...
''Well? Are you enjoying the view? Altair's malicious voice quickly reached Jeanne's ears causing her to awaken from her thoughts and realize the situation she was in.
Jeanne blushed in high shades of red, and without saying anything she quickly closed the door.
Altair could even hear Jeanne's fast footsteps outside. And he couldn't help but laugh at that.
''This place is always fun...'' He commented smiling as he went towards his closet.
And as he changed, some thoughts went through his head.
He knows that the nobility of Rias would not beat Riser and most likely Sirzechs will ask him to confront that chicken. And since he is not someone who does something for free, he was thinking about what he should ask for.
And Altair had to admit.
He was a very astute fox, because he knew exactly what he should ask for.
...
...
Ten days had passed since then...
In this time, Altair concentrated more on perfecting his 'Mana Manipulation' skill. And the reason was very simple, he did not want his mana to leak out as it did in the desert, as this would be problematic.
He trained and perfected his skill to the point where it reached level 5.
His training basically consisted of using the skill to make a small ball of mana and holding it for some time, or until he felt his mana was running out.
It definitely wasn't the most effective training, but it was what he could do at the moment. And while training a little he was thinking about his actions a little regretfully.
He hadn't expected to meet Vali's group so soon. And thanks to that meeting Altair knew that things were going off script, and that might not be so good.
One thing that had also improved was Altair's relationship with his servants, at least they were no longer suspicious of him.
He even thought about telling the two girls about the system, but in the end he just gave up, since once he told them about the system, he would be forced to say how he got it, and this would force him to say that he had died and been reincarnated in a fictional world.
Which would be bizarre in their view, and would probably lead to an existential crisis.
When morning came, the first thing they asked him was how his mana had grown so much, they didn't even ask him if he was okay or if he was hurt.
Really, where are the feelings of these girls? He wondered.
Unfortunately, he had to tell them about his training in the desert, as well as tell them about his battle with those two men.
And he couldn't answer them back, since the training he had done in the desert was a little strange, indeed.
And while they were talking, Altair decided to check the status of his servants, and even though he prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked.

''Aren't they a little too strong?'' Altair could now see his servants' abilities, he could even see everyone's history with the God's Eye.
However, the most important thing is these abilities of his servants, it was impossible not to be shocked when taking a look.
Altair thought that no one could match him in growth, but seeing the status of his servants he realized how wrong and arrogant he was. In addition a trace of jealousy was in his eyes.
''How can they control so much mana?'' Altair couldn't stop complaining at how unfair this was, he as the master of these girls should be much stronger, but the reality was completely different.
He just decided to shake his head and not look at the status of his servants anymore, since he felt like killing himself every time he looked.
But back to the story...
Altair noticed that the occult club hadn't shown up at the school for ten days, and he knew exactly where they were, but decided not to pay them a visit since he would like to see how strong they could become with this ten-day training.
He was really curious to know how much they could improve in ten days.
Maybe if they became stronger, they could help him get rid of the boredom that is his school life.
With the prince of Kuoh gone, the girls of the school now followed Altair wherever he went, and this was really a drag for Altair.
Besides, Sirzechs had so far not lived up to what he said...
''That shitty Maou...'' Altair was thinking of teaching Sirzechs a lesson for not keeping his word to enroll his servants in the school.
