Once Sairaorg disappeared Alex was transported out of the arena and was met with several reporters. His brow twitched at how he wasn"t getting to see how the girls were, and answered as curtly as he could so the he could leave as soon as possible. After fleeing the reporters he went back to the infirmary, and saw the girls up and walking around. When they saw him they all rushed him."""""""ALEX!!!"""""""
If it was someone else he would"ve fallen from their tackle. He looked around and saw several of them still had bruises, but seemed to be fine otherwise. He wrapped his arms around them and staring with the only uninjured one, Asia, kissed each of them until he made his way to Rias. After separating from her lips he said,
"I won." She looked a little bitter, probably from losing against Sairaorg so badly, while Alex seemed beat him so easily. She quickly hid her dissatisfaction, and said,
"I know. We all regained consciousness when your match started, thanks to Asia"s help." Alex nodded and kissed Asia once more, for healing them after the match and speeding their recovery. They then discussed their matches, with Rias talking about things they all needed to work on in the future. Kiba soon walked over as well, and said to Alex,
"I feel conflicted, if we trained with you we might"ve won, but then we would"ve had to fight you instead." Alex didn"t say anything, and Rias also looked conflicted. To change the subject he looked around and asked,
"Where"s Gasper?" Gasper was the only one of the Gremory group not present, and at Alex"s words everyone looked saddened, and Rias explained.
"He"s still recovering, since he was the one beaten the most out of all of us." Alex nodded at her words, and felt sorry for the little gender bender, but at the same time he recalled the powers he"ll awaken in the near future and shivered involuntarily. They continued discussing future training, until door opened agin and Azazel and Sirzechs walked in. Sirzechs sat down and simply said,
"Kiba, Akeno, it"s currently being discussed that the two of you"ll get a promotion." Everyone froze at his words, and Kiba and Akeno suddenly stood to attention. He then continued explaining,
"Due to all of the incidents you"ve been involved with, as well as the current ratings of your strength, it was decided by the Maou and the higher ups. The next mid-cla.s.s promotion takes place in about two weeks, there"ll be a written test, a report you"ll have to hand in, and finally a practical." When Sirzechs stopped talking the two bowed and said,
""We give thanks to the Maou for this opportunity."" He waved away their words, and said,
"It"s alright, just make sure to study well and don"t let Rias down." The twos looks became even more serious, and they practically shouted,
""YES!""
After that Sirzechs left and they started discussing the match with Azazel as well. Rosswiesse was quiet to the side until,
"I think I"m going to return to my homeland for a while." Everyone was shocked at her words, but Alex said,
"To train yourself?" She nodded at his words and explained,
"I want to better master the traits of the rook, and increase my firepower as well. But there"s the midterms coming up at the school so I"ll wait a week until I leave, so that I can prepare the tests." Alex smile and said,
"So you mean I have a week to enjoy your body before you leave?" She then turned bright red at his words, but didn"t say anything against them. Then a small voice started speaking,
"I-I-I also want to start training as well!" They all looked over and saw the still bandaged Gasper in the doorway. To work on him his body had been returned to that of a guy, so he was currently ripped, Alex couldn"t help thinking he looked even bigger than before. But they all knew by now that all his muscle was useless, and just for show. At his words Azazel nodded and said,
"We grigori study sacred gears, so if you want our help our doors are always open." Gasper looked scared at Azazel"s offer, but didn"t refuse it. While everyone else started talking about their efforts for training, Alex was mentally preparing himself to meet Ophis again. He knew she would most likely show up in the next week or so, so he decided to stock up on snacks for her before then. Then the door opened once more and several women walked in.
"We came to check up on all of you!"
"Ufufufufu, that fight was so manly."
"You two looked so cool! Like a couple action heroes!"
"I baked a cake everyone, let"s eat now that the matches are over with."
Irina, Yasaka, Kunou, and Ravel walked in. Alex started sweating at Kunou"s words, and hoped Azazel wouldn"t take much notice of them. Yasaka stood not too far from him, and her tails would occasionally drift his way to brush against his arms, much to the annoyance of the other girls. They continued talking for a while, before they all left to return home.
Alex didn"t want the girls to exert themselves the night after they were beaten so badly, so he slept alone. They all had the next day off, so he decided to sleep in for once and rest a little. apparently the girls decided that he wouldn"t get much rest the next day though, when he walked downstairs and saw what they were doing. There was Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Rosswiesse, Koneko, Ravel, and even Kiryuu, all dressed in some form of s.e.xy clothes. Rias then spoke up,
"We wanted to do something a little special since you won yesterday. So please, spend the day enjoying each of us." Alex didn"t need to be told twice, as he immediately started walking towards the "feast".
