Ban return to his house late at night. He noticed everbody were in their room but nobody sleeps except the little girl. He put the things in his room and walk to the kitchen to have some drink. He didn't find any but wine. Ban hesitated for a moment and grab the wine and a glass.

He also grab some snacks to eat. Ban sat on the chair while thinking deeply in his mind.

'Underground Arena. What a mysterious place. I bet there will be many supernaturals like me in there hearing John's explanation about those rankers. I need to practice my newly gained skills as soon as possible just in case. Even the lady from the registration, I can feel that she is strong. Though she hid it well, I can sense her suppressed aura at that time. If I practice, then I shall master those attack skills instead. The Mirage Smash is not fully mastered yet. Guess I will call George for tomorrow.'

Ban slowly sip his wine while dazing. He pursed his lips and said "Bitter." He thought 'Maybe I'll buy some high grade ones in the future.'

"You drink wine?" A voice sounded on his back.

Ban came to his senses and smelled a fragrant aroma of a woman in his back. "Oh. Did I disturb your rest?" He look at Sally close to him and he stood up.

Sally approach him for a welcome hug and said while raising her brows "Did something happen? Maybe I can help you." She look at him with confusion.

Ban chuckled and sat down while pulling her into his lap "Silly woman. Can't I just have a good time while drinking wine?"

Sally was startled at his action but she let him do what he want. She also drink the wine in his glass and replied "You look in a deep concentration to me earlier though. What's on your mind? Care to share with this Big Sis?" She smiled while looking at him gently.

Ban cheekily said "I'm thinking our bet last night. I thought that tonight will be cancelled." He grab her thigh and massage it gently.

Sally's face turn beet red and pouted "Hooligan. If you don't want to say it, then fine." She pinch his waist.

Ban laugh and replied "It's nothing really. I was just thinking about the future." He didn't remove his claw in her thigh, instead it went up slowly.

Sally blush even more in Ban's action and said "What about the future? Do you have plans?" She wanted to stop his devil claws but she might get backfired and eat her instead. She let him do as he pleases as she was interested on Ban's what to say next.

"Hmm. I'm thinking about finding my real parents." Ban didn't want to say about the arena as she might be worried if she hears that. So he says his other plans for the future.

Sally's expression warp for a moment, she hug him and ask "You indeed told me back then that you are adopted by your deceased parents. You didn't tell me the whole story though. What really happen and why are you adopted by them?"

Ban behave his claw and put it down to her thigh as he said "Well since you are my future wife, I guess I'll tell you my story then. " He smiled cheekily at her.

Sally blushed and said while pouting "Scoundrel. I'm not your wife. Quick, tell me what happen." She feel warm inside and urge him to tell his story.

"My adopted parents found me outside this house when I was a baby and that was 15 years ago. They love me like their own child back then. After I grew up, they told me I was adopted. I also accepted them, I love them even though I don't know what it feels like to have a real parents. I also resented my real parents for abandoning me back then but who knows what really happens? I really hope that they didn't abandon me for a stupid reason though. But I am glad I have a loving parents and their relatives. They accepted me for who I am. You know If I want you to be like me having powers, I also wants my Uncle's family to have it. They are only my relatives in this world and I can't bear to lose them like my adopted parents." Ban slowly uttered. Somehow, he feels down and directly drank the bottle of wine.

Sally was also affected in the mood and drank her glass of wine. She said "Come on, cheer up. You also have me and my daughter in your life now. We won't let you be alone. I will always be by your side supporting you." She kiss his cheeks lovingly.

Both Ban and Sally have moments of chatting but Sally did not know that Sophia was also peeping at them in her room. Earlier, when she hear there is someone outside her room, she took a peek outside and blush while looking at the two cuddling each other. She also hear the story of Ban and she was also feeling sad after a while. When she hear the latter words of Ban, she was confused. 'Powers? What is he talking about?' Sophia was sad but also curious. She didn't plan to stop peeking though, it's like she became a female police investigator as she was getting used to being spy on others. She look at them without blinking.

Ban also notice Sophia peeping at them but he didn't mind her. Anyway, he also plan to reborn her and her parents but he didn't know how in the meantime.

Ban smiled at Sally feeling her emotion and kiss her back on the lips. He said gently "Thanks."

"Don't thank me. We are a family. Also I will help you find your real parents." Sally smiled to him returning the kiss.

Ban only stared at Sally and not saying anything. He was etching her face in his mind.

"Hey Ban, I think there is something in you that is different but I cant point it out what it is." Sally said to him while looking deeply at him.

Ban was amused and laugh "Hoh. My Big Sis is falling in love right now eh?" He teased her and smiled.

Sally blushed and grunted "Y-You! Can't you be serious for a moment? I really think there is a different in you." She punch his chest lightly.

"What difference? Tell me." Ban also wants to know. Even though he mastered the passive Immortal Grace skill, he can't tell the difference himself.

"Hmm. How should I say this. You look more sexy every time I see you?" Sally raise her eyebrow. She can't let her eyes off of Ban every time she look at him.

Ban smack her bottom and replied begrudgingly "What sexy?! Do I look like a woman to you? Is your arse itching for a lesson?" He pinch her round bottom.

Sally didn't mind his rantings and laugh instead while blushing "That's not what I meant, silly. I mean, you look so noble every time you move. That is why you look so sexy in my eyes. So manly per se."

Ban was startled and a look of understanding could be seen on his face. He thought 'I only practiced about the aura, I didn't expect that this is the result. So this is what it means to be a Immortal?'

Ban smiled and said "It's a kind of skill I practiced earlier this afternoon. I can also teach you that skill in the future. I can't wait to see your transformation then."

"A skill? Being a noble can be a skill now?" Sally was confused. She thought having a grace of a noble need some years of practice and experience yet she heard Ban he only practice that skill earlier. She was in wander looking at Ban with glittering eyes.

Ban shrug his shoulder "If you played mobile or computer games, this can be labled as a passive skill. Once you practice this skill, it will implement in your body permanently."

Sally widened her eyes "Amazing." She can't wait to be reborn and practice those wonderful skill Ban had.

Seeing her like that, Ban laugh and whispered to her "I have another skill on me. But I will need you for assistance though." He look at her while smiling mysteriously.

Sally gulp for a second seeing him like this. She knew he was planning something. "W-What skill is it?" She brace herself of what was about to come.

Ban laugh and said "You will know later. My reward in our bet will also be a part of this." He anticipated his newly gained skill earlier. He knew that skill have something to do with a couple doing 'erotic battles'. He want to know what are the effect of the said skill.

Sally widened her eyes as she was blushing furiously "Scoundrel. W-What kind of skill is it that we need to do that-that thing? You're just saying nonsense." Indeed, her intuition told her that there is something fishy in his words.

Ban laugh and started kissing her lips passionately and he mutteres lowly.
