It was a nice day at Neo-City as we head toward the AniManga Café where we see Alexander "Xander" Campbell II along with Cecilia Alcott, Yuko Tanimoto and Riko Kishihara sitting at one table.
Earlier at the Training Camp, Cecilia mustered up all the courage as she had to invite Xander out with some friends to lunch, although he was quite oblivious to how nervous Cecilia was in asking him, he accepted her invitation, much to the British IS Candidate's delight.
The four trainees were now currently seated in one of the tables having a conversation with one another while waiting for their food while enjoying their drinks until Xander stood up, "Pardon me ladies, but I need to go use the washroom." he excused with Cecilia nodding as he left to use the washroom.
Cecilia and her friends then continued to talk with one another when suddenly…
"Hey there ladies..." a smooth obnoxious voice voice greeted.
Cecilia and her friends turned to see around six UGLY young men who were obviously delinquents and as you can see, it seems that the one in the middle is the leader of the group as he was the one who called Cecilia and her friends out.
"How'd ya like ta hang out with a handsome stud like me?" the delinquent flirted with a smooth voice, much to Cecilia and her friends' disgust.
"Geez... and they thought I'm a bad flirt." Eddy Skipper McGee commented with a blank look.
Cecilia politely tries to tell them to leave but the leader of the delinquents smoothly insists that they hang out as the other five delinquents attempt to flirt with Yuko and Riko while other people who were watching this felt either disgusted or a bit bothered.
Just when an irritated Cecilia was about to use her IS to teach the six delinquents a lesson, they heard someone call out.
"Excuse me, boys?" a voice spoke as the delinquents turned to see Xander standing behind them as Cecilia and her friends saw the Campbell noble, much to the former's relief.
"I see that you lot are having a splendid time with them, but I think they don't like to be disturbed at a time like this" Xander pointed out while wearing a polite smile, "So whatever it is that you want with Miss Alcott and her friends, I don't think they're interested." he stated, "So, I think the ladies would appreciate it enormously if you'd leave them in peace," he requested, "And if you aren't here to dine, I think that everyone here including myself would appreciate it if you boys would just leave this place." he added as everyone in the café watched the confrontation with some of them nodding in agreement.
The delinquents scowled as the leader went right in front of Xander's face, "How about you mind your own business and leave mister fancy pants!" he demanded extremely rudely, "Otherwise... there's gonna be trouble here." he added and to make his point, some of his goons cracked their knuckles and others pulled out pocket knives.
The young Campbell noble narrowed his eyes at the man before looking toward Cecilia and her friends, "It's alright Xander, we'll take care of this." she assured him.
Looking into her eyes, Xander had a feeling that Cecilia could take care of herself.
Trusting the British IS Candidate, Xander closed his eyes with a sigh before looking back at the delinquent leader, "Okay... you win... I'll leave now." he said as he turned around and walked towards the doors, much to the delinquents satisfaction and much to the disappointment of some of the other occupants in the café.
Just when Xander was almost at the door, he stopped after hearing one of the other delinquents say, "If you're looking for any other hot dolls, try looking for 'em in one of those cheap nightclubs just around the corner of the next district." he said making the rest of the delinquents laugh before returning to flirting with Cecilia and her friends much to the British IS Candidate's disgust and ire as she clenched her fist and was about ready to unleash her IS on the delinquents for insulting Xander.
But before she could, the Campbell noble just snapped.

Xander slowly pushed up his glasses as some light from out of nowhere obscured his eyes.
"As what a wise man once said..." Xander quoted, getting the delinquents, the rest of the café occupants and Cecilia and her friends' attention while he reached for the two barrel bolt locks at the top corner parts of the doors.
"Manners…"
Clink! Clink!
"Make'eth…"
Clink! Clink!
"Man..." Xander finished as he locked the third lock near the door handles with a resounding "Click!" as he glanced at a mirror to his right as he saw the delinquents slowly walk towards him, "Do you know what that means?" he asked as the delinquents stopped and looked at each other in confusion as some of them shrugged, "Then how about I teach you ruffians a lesson..." he declared and with that, he hooked the tip of his cane to an empty glass mug on a nearby empty table and flung it at the delinquent leader as it shattered upon hitting his head.
"OOF!" the delinquent leader grunted as the blow knocked him out as he fell backwards with a loud "THUD!"
"OOOOOH!" everyone exclaimed at what Xander did, Cecilia and her friends were shock at Xander's actions while the rest of the patrons had manic grins on faces and few decided to record what's going on with their devices.
Xander slowly walked towards the stunned delinquent goons who stared down at their KO-ed leader lying on the floor, "So..." he spoke, getting the five goons' attention, "Are we gonna stand around and talk all day... or are we gonna fight?" he questioned.
His answer came when one of the goons went and threw a right hook at him, only for Xander to block it with his cane and redirect it towards a second goon, punching him on the left cheek and knocking out a tooth in the process and also knocking him down after hitting the bar table.
Goons three and four then attempted to tackle Xander only for him to dodge, causing them to run passed him as he did a double palm strike at them as they staggered to the left and right side respectively.
Xander then turned around to see goons one and five charge towards him as he kicked the first then used his cane with both hands to block the fifth goon's knife then swung his cane with his right hand at goon no. five, striking him twice causing him to stagger down the floor.
Then a recovered goon no. three went and grabbed Xander by the right shoulder only for him to elbow the goon on the stomach, making him stagger back down the floor.
To his left, a newly recovered goon no. four went and grabbed Xander's left shoulder only for him to backhand smack him on the face as he took a hold of his wrist with his left hand and punched him in the face with his right fist that held his cane and then he swung his cane, smacking goon no. five who attempted to stab him again.
Goon no. one then pulled out his knife attempting to stab Xander only for the young Campbell noble to block him with goon no. four who was still in his grip, stabbing him instead.
"AAGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" the goon no. four shouted after goon no. one removed his knife.
"Sorry." the goon no. one apologized.
Xander then kicked goon no. four's left leg making him fall on all fours as Xander thrusts his cane at goon no. one in the shoulder making him stagger back to his knees.
Xander then dodged a knife swing from goon no. five before smacking goon no. four with the top of his cane, flipping the goon backwards down the floor.
Cecilia was mesmerized on how good Xander is fighting, "S-Sugoi... he is amazing..." she thought in awe.
Xander noticed goon no. five do another knife swing at him which he skillfully dodged as he switched the hold of his cane to his left hand as he disarmed goon no. five before thrusting his cane forward making it go on the goon's underarm as Xander grabbed the other end of his cane and twisting it, restraining his opponent in an arm lock.
A newly recovered goon no. two attempted a surprise attack on Xander with a knife stab but the Campbell noble used his cane to disarm the second goon while still having goon no. five restrained and used the latter to push the former back.
Goon no. two hit the bar table again making him shatter a few drinking glasses in the process.
He then grabbed a bottle of liquor and charged towards Xander again.
Currently with goon no. five restrained, Xander managed to retaliate with a back kick to the second goon's stomach hard making him stumble down hitting the bar table, knocking him out in a sitting position.
Xander then untwisted his cane from the fifth goon releasing the latter from restraint as Xander spun his cane until he held it with both hands like a bo staff and struck the goon with the middle of the cane's shaft, knocking him out while breaking an empty table in the process.
Goon no. three managed to recover and was attempting to tackle Xander once again only for him to dodge while simultaneously do a 360 kick sending goon no. three towards a recovered goon no. four as they both slammed into each other's faces knocking them out and fall backwards.
Goon no. one then stood up and held up his knife as he attempted to stab Xander again, only for him to grab his wrist and strike his restrained arm with his cane then holding it by the shaft and jabbed him with the top part of his cane.
Xander then put the top of his cane over the goon's neck and turned him around making Xander restrain the delinquent goon from behind.
Xander then kicked the delinquent goon while letting him go, causing him to flip backwards knocking him out after hitting the bar area right next to delinquent goon no. two.
Xander then turned to see that the delinquent leader regained consciousness as he stood up.
"You dirty little..." he growled as he pulled out a gun much to Cecilia's shock.
"Xander look out!" Cecilia called out in alarm but the young Campbell noble just stayed calm as he smirked.
Just when the delinquent was about to fire the first shot, just like that, Xander disappeared into thin air much to everyone's shock including Cecilia and her friends, "Hey! Where the fuck did he go?!" the delinquent demanded while looking around frantically for Xander while pointing his gun at random directions.
Then all of a sudden, he felt someone tap his shoulder twice from behind.
He turned to see much to his shock, Xander Campbell right in front of him as he said with a wave and smile, "Hello and privet." the blonde greeted before socking the delinquent leader hard on the face knocking him out once again.
Xander then took a deep breath and exhaled as he turned to Cecilia and her friends and he gave them a smile in which Cecilia returned.
Suddenly, Cecilia's eyes widened and she gasped as she saw delinquent goon no. two slowly sneak up behind Xander with a crazed face and the same liquor bottle he was holding ready to smash it on Xander's head without his notice.
"XANDER LOOK OUT!" Cecilia cried out.
And just like that, without even looking, Xander smacked the goon with the back of his fist.
The delinquent goon dropped his bottle as he had a funny face on him while losing the rest of his teeth, then he fell backwards with a loud "THUD!".
"Hmph" Xander scoofed as he shook his hand after using it to sock the delinquent leader and smack the goon as he nonchalantly walked back to Cecilia and her friends' table while fixing his jacket, "You alright?" he asked receiving a nod from the three.
"Sugoi! Xander-san! You were an amazing fighter!" Cecilia complimented, "Granted... I've seen some fights similarly like that but yours are different! You're moves were so graceful and amazing!" she exclaimed in awe.
"Thank you." Xander replied with a smile.
And just like that, everyone started clapping and cheering for Xander after that awesome fight and despite the sudden cheer, Xander gave a gentlemanly bow to everyone and returned to his seat with Cecilia and her friends.
Xander then took a sip of his drink, "Sorry about that..." he apologized with a sigh putting down his drink, "I just don't like it when someone pushes my buttons like that." he explained, "Especially if someone compares me to some of those snobbish nobles and I'm not one of them." he added.
"It's fine." Cecilia reassured, "You did the right thing.'' she pointed out.
"Nee, Campbell-san..." Yuko spoke, "How did you managed to disappear and reappear out of nowhere?'' she asked.
"Oh, of course, I guess I didn't tell you." Xander spoke, "You see... I'm a Blessed and my Gift allows me to turn myself and whatever I take or have in my possession invisible." he explained, "Personally, I like to call this Gift of mine Disappearing Act." he added.
"That's a really unique Gift." Yuko commented, "Still nowhere near as rare as Jaune's immortality but still unique." she stated.
"Well, I like it." Cecilia admitted.
Xander then took notice of the face of Riko is sending at him, "I know what you're thinking." he spoke, "Rest assure, I wouldn't use my Gift lightly like that, it's ungentlemanly." he stated while fixing his glasses, "As I said before, I'm not like those stereotype noble snobs, especially the perverted ones." he said.
A little later, their lunches arrived and proceeded to eat and even with his proper table manners, Xander sure built up an appetite after beating a bunch of delinquents.
