BOOM
Explosions echoed as the two people rushed each other repeatedly, trying to gain an advantage. Wukong was trying to gain an advantage over Alex"s strength, and Alex was trying to outmaneuver Wukong"s techniques. He was still training Alex, as all of Alex"s strength meant nothing if he didn"t learn proper technique. As Alex threw a punch at him Wukong would slip to the side and smack him upside the head with his staff.
After a while Alex drew his own staff and the two began fighting with their staffs, and Alex swore to never think that sentence again. This went on until there was only a few hours left before their training was up. As was the usual Alex spent this time meditating, while Wukong watched over him. Alex suddenly said,
"Thank you truly, if you didn"t teach me this meditation technique I would"ve died from Samael"s poison." Wukong smiled and said,
"It was no problem. I"m just glad I decided to teach it to you so early instead of waiting." They don"t say anything more until he was done meditating and time was up. As they walked out of the training room Seekvaira was waiting for them as usual. Alex nodded to her and said,
"Thank you again for taking the time to a.s.sist us Seek." She twitched at the use of her fathers pet name for her, but didn"t say anything. Alex then continued,
"We"re going to a hot springs tomorrow, would you like to go as well so that I can show my thanks?" She twitched more noticeably and said,
"No thank you, I"m sure you"ll try to do something like "washing my back" to thank me and I don"t wish for that." Alex smiled bitterly since he wasn"t planning anything of the sort but didn"t bother trying to correct her, if she didn"t want to go to a hot springs then that was her choice. After saying their farewells both of them soon left and Alex went to prepare for the trip the next day.
It had been a few days since he took Gabriel"s first time, and he had suggested to Rias going to a hot springs to relax after everything that"s happened recently, to which she was more than happy to agree. The ones going were the Gremory group, Irina, Ophis, Ravel, Alex, and surprisingly the Sitri group. Azazel would be going to "chaperone" but they all knew he just wanted to drink while in a hot springs.
The next morning they all gathered in front of the dorms except for Azazel and Rosswiesse, who were picking up the cars. Soon they pulled up in their respective cars, Azazel in his blue hot rod, and Rosswiesse in a wagon. She opened the door and said,
"We used magic to expand the s.p.a.ce in here, so climb in unless you"re riding with Azazel." Pretty. Much everyone went straight to Rosswiesse"s car, while Alex, Ophis, Xenovia, and Yura, Sona"s rook. The three girls went to the back seat with Ophis in the middle, while Alex was in the front. A touch screen then appeared after they all buckled showing different functions the car had. After a second Azazel started a rocket function, and they took off. After a while he turned to Alex with a lewd grin on his face and said,
"So I heard you slept with Gabriel already, I have to know, how was it?" Alex sighed at Azazel"s question and said,
"I don"t like to screw and tell, so sorry." Azazel frowned and said,
"I"ll pay you with something, I have a whole lab full of things. If not then I could always make it." Alex considered his words for a second, then said,
"One item and a car just like this and you have a deal." Azazel smiled and they shook on it. However all Alex said to him was that Gabriel"s body was even more beautiful than he thought, and that she unexpectedly turned out to be a nympho. He didn"t say any concrete details but thankfully it seemed enough for Azazel, and Alex was looking forward to his new items in the near future.
Nearly three hours later, even with Azazel"s rocket functions, they arrived at the hot springs. It was a special hot springs exclusively for the supernatural community. When they walked in Alex was surprised to someone there. There was Grayfia who he expected, and a second woman who he didn"t know and seemed to be there by herself. She was wearing a suit with a skirt similar to Gabriel the other day, and had a stern look on her face, while also being beautiful enough to be the target of several men"s s.e.xy secretary fantasies. However he couldn"t shake the sense of familiarity he felt from her.
"Here"s your key miss Ren, please enjoy your stay with us." The lady behind the counter said.
"Thank you." The woman, Ren, said curtly and walked away without even giving them a glance. While Rias and Azazel checked them in Alex was trying to figure out where he met her before, until Akeno grabbed one of his arms. She had a mock pouty expression as she said,
"You have what fifteen girls here with you and you"re staring at yet another one that"s not with us, you"re quite greedy aren"t you?" At her words almost all of the girls looked over and narrowed their eyes. Alex smiled bitterly and said,
"It"s not that, I keep having a sense that I know her. I"m just trying to figure out where." However his words just made them narrow their eyes even more, and he started sweating at their accusatory glares. He did notice that Azazel seems to have the same opinion he did about her looks, and his gaze followed her until she disappeared. After Rias finished checking them in they all split to their rooms before getting ready to enter the hot springs for the day.
