[3rd POV]
With the talk with Rias done and over with, Morgan was now able to prepare them more so for the eventual introduction of Riser Phenex, a true bastard that would be dying sooner or later.
At the moment Morgan was watching as Koneko used her touki, slamming her fist against the nearest rock as it was obliterated into tiny pieces, launching the rubble across the area that they were in, making quite a mess of the place.
Watching it, Morgan hummed "You've improved, Koneko. At the rate you're going you'll get to my level in no time. I guess you're quite the little genius huh?" Morgan said with a proud look on her face, happy that one of her students had improved so much over the past few weeks.
"Thanks sensei" Koneko said with a slight blush on her cheeks, embarrassed at the compliment. She had heard it a lot by now, the complements and praise, but it was still a bit to get used to. As with Rias, the girl never verbalized the praise, she just smiled at her, giving off the feeling of praise but never verbally saying it. It was different, but Koneko didn't mind it, Rias was weirdly awkward when it came to that sort of thing.
"We'll start working on internalizing your touki more in the future, making it stronger and harder to visually see. It'll go a long way to improving your strength and overall power" Morgan said with a nod, believing that Koneko would reach higher levels faster than she did.
The girl was a genius in the art of Touki, that much was certain at this point.
"We'll also start on youjutsu and senjutsu soon, as you've reached a level where those are both arts you need to learn and master. I'll start you on them in the next week or so, so be ready to begin that particular part of training" Morgan said, as Koneko frowned.
"Are you sure I am ready for that? Touki is one thing, but Youjutsu and senjutsu are...are another. I-I don't think I'm ready" Koneko said, slightly nervous at the thought of it, with the trauma she underwent when she had thought her sister had been evil.
"I am confident you are ready, Koneko. Plus, I'll be there every step of the way while you learn how to utilize them, so there won't be any sort of fears regarding losing control or harming yourself or another. Trust me, you can handle it, you've just gotta have more confidence in yourself" Morgan replied, calming the nekoshou with a warm look on her face, confident that the girl can do this.
"I...whatever you say, sensei" Koneko said, stuttering a bit as she decided not to argue with Morgan, knowing that that was a losing battle, especially whenever her sensei was involved. Morgan was...quite determined to make sure her students understood their own worth, mainly because of the future that they would inevitably have to deal with, like becoming high class devils and such.
"Great! Now, get back to work" Morgan said as the kitten nodded, touki covering her fist once more as she began to throw punches once again, going right back into training as if she wasn't just conversing with Morgan.

After leaving Koneko for her personal training, she moved over to where Kiba was, as the teen slashed downwards with his demonic blade, its dark edge cutting through stone like it was paper. Each slash and strike obliterating whatever it cut through, a pleased smile on her face as she watched him.
"So you're learning huh? What sort of blade is that one, Kiba?" Morgan asked Kiba who let out a small pant of exhaustion.
"It's one meant to cut anything that it touches. But keeping it out is...draining, as you can tell. I'm trying to increase my stamina so I can use it longer, but it's not going very far" Kiba said with a sigh, disappointed with his own progress up until this point. He didn't really like getting help from Morgan, and instead preferred to do it all by himself.
"Well it's simple really, you've gotta continue improving your stamina and demonic energy control. It's all about time, you simply need more time in order to overcome your current limits in terms of how long you can summon them. And why don't you start a bit smaller? Something like "A blade that can cut through skin easier than others" or something of the sort" Morgan said, giving the teen advice as he blinked at the idea.
"Will such a thing work? My sacred gear is not a longinus, sensei. I doubt it would be able to create something like that, I'd need something a lot stronger in order to accomplish something like that" Kiba replied, not believing that he could do something of such a scale.
Like most of Rias's peerage, he had a problem with self confidence and not believing in himself, similar to Koneko and the others.
"Why don't you go ahead and try Kiba? You might just surprise yourself" Morgan said with a small smirk, watching at the teen furrowed his eyebrows, before nodding slowly, the blade within his hands disappearing as a look of concentration formed on his face.
Morgan watched silently as the teen had a look of concentration on his face, a blade slowly forming within his hands as a black and gold sword glimmered into his hands. Staring at it, Morgan smiled, pleased.
"So, what blade did you make?"
"One that can cut through devil skin easier than others, causing permanent harm to others making it harder for them to heal. I think it could be a good weapon against someone like the Phenex" Kiba replied, smiling as he realized that he had accomplished what he didn't believe he would be able to do.
"Told you you could do it. You just needed a bit more confidence in yourself, just like Koneko and Rias. I'm glad you were able to overcome that though, and maybe you'll begin to show more and more unique blades that can be used against that Phenex brat eventually" Morgan replied with a grin, excited to witness that sight in person.
"Thanks sensei, I-you were right. I guess I underestimated myself quite a bit" Kiba said with a small smile, proud of himself for the first time in quite some time, as Morgan chuckled.
"Good, now, I'll be off, I've got more things to do!"

The rest of the day was spent training the two of them more than most of the others. Primarily because Akeno refused to use her light energy even now, something that was beginning to piss off Morgan, as while she understood that the teen had trauma due to some of the things that happened in the past, the fact that she refused to use it even when her king was under threat of being turned into what was basically a sex slave, made her mad.
Rias had been growing smoothly over the days, progressing to a higher level of power, and was now at the very peak of High Class, with her only needing a week or two longer before she was officially in the ultimate class level of power.
During this time, Morgan and Grayfia had gone on several more of their "Not Dates" growing closer and closer as people, getting to know one another...quite well over the time, becoming good friends over the time. She had even managed to get a few smiles out of the woman, and even a blush or two which was a shock to her.
Morgan had enjoyed that night with her kitten, Valiana, and Issei all at the same time, which was...enjoyable to say the least. She planned on inviting Yasaka next time, which she was sure would be even more enjoyable than this time.
At the moment Morgan was in the basement, sweating as sweat trickled down her body, weight beyond anything her peerage could lift, weighing her down as she did push ups, soft pants echoing throughout the room as she strained her body underneath the immense weight and gravity combination.
She had been working on the creation of a new form of training, one that would rapidly grow both her physical capabilities and magical ones. Called the "Training Seal" which would essentially be a seal that would limit her power to a certain level (Ultimate Class or lower) and in return, all training she did would be massively boosted well beyond the normal levels, this way she can improve far faster than before.
As she heard the door to the training room open, Morgan let out a grunt as she got to her feet, the weight lowering in the room as she grabbed her water bottle and began to drink the much needed water.
Turning as she wiped the sweat from her body using a towel, she noticed who was standing there.
"Lint? Is there something you need?" Morgan asked the girl who nodded slowly.
"Yes master...it would seem that Rias is going to be meeting the Phenex brat today, and would like for you to be there when she does" Lint asked, as Morgan got a look of understanding on her face, a sigh escaping her lips, knowing that this would be a...less than fun experience.
Riser was an arrogant prick who also was a massive pervert who would gladly force women to join his harem if he could, which is basically what he planned on doing to Rias. He cared little for the fact that this was a woman he was talking about, caring more about the fact that she was hot more than anything else.
Basically, in simplest terms, he's a piece of shit.
Hearing the response, Morgan stretched as she decided to make her way down there, one thought on her mind as she did so.
'...This is about to be annoying'

That's the end of the chapter!
Sorry about the shorter chapter, but I was struggling to make this 2k words, so I decided not to force myself, as if I did, it would get drawn out and just not good. Next chapter WILL be 2k words, promise.
Anyways, have a good day!
