Chapter 42 - Deal

After Alex finished his fight he was taken to an infirmary to have any injuries tended to. All he had was a couple scratches, but Seekvaira took a while longer. He was waiting he started watching the match between Sona and Rias, even without issei though Rias doing good. With his help for Kiba and Xenovia, they were able to move at faster speeds than they should have. Koneko was devastating the opponents with the skill she honed sparring with him, and her strength went through leaps and bounds after experiencing the difference in gravity.

One thing that surprised him though was that Rias seemed to have been trying to become more accustomed to using techniques as well as power. He recalled that the two Gremory siblings had used their destruction in completely different ways in the novel, Sirzechs focused on technique, while Rias focused on overwhelming power. Now it seemed that Rias was trying to use both, which Alex found quite encouraging. Before the match was over, Seekvaira had been released from her treatment, as her injuries actually weren't that bad. She seemed surprised to see Alex waiting for her.

"To what do I owe the honor?" She asked with some respect, now that she had tasted his prowess personally, even without the boosted gear.

"I want to discuss working together with you on a project." Alex said. His hope was to use her time manipulation for a training room, where he could also add his gravity manipulation. He MIGHT be able to use time magic with enough practice like he did gravity, but it would be immeasurably harder. Seekvaira looked surprised for a moment, then she started glaring at him and coldly said,

"I see, and is this your way to add me to your harem? Well I refuse as I don't wish to be one of many." She then was about to turn and walk off, but Alex grabbed her arm. She turned back in fury, but he said,

"While I won't deny you if you want to be my woman, I'm not after that right now. I'm after your time manipulation. I want to try to utilize it for something and need your help for it." She was surprised when he said he wasn't after her as a woman, and was slightly conflicted as she felt he thought she wasn't good enough to go after even when she denied him before. For some reason this irked her and she asked with a still somewhat cold attitude,

"Well, what do you want my help with? And why would I want to help you?" Alex sighed in relief as she seemed willing to listen to him now. He then explained his idea to apply it to a room to make the time flow faster in there than the outside for training purposes. Seekvaira seemed genuinely interested in the idea, but still asked,

"But why would I help you? My time manipulation is the pride of my family, why would I give it away?" Alex already had an answer for her,

"How about mechas that you haven't seen before? Though I can't promise them right away I could always give them to you in the future." As she heard his words Seekvaira's eyes went wide and she tried to keep control of herself as she asked,

"And what kind of mechas would you be able to give me? I don't imagine it would be anything you already have." Alex shook his head and said,

"That information is confidential. If you want to know then you'll have to work with me, and continue working with me in the future. As I said before I don't really mind if you're my woman or not." He couldn't tell her what it was he could give her, because they would be from other worlds. But if she followed him long enough then she would naturally find out. Seekvaira looked conflicted at his words and seemed to be seriously considering the matter. She then decided,

"Let's make it a pact, I'll work with you in exchange for new mechas in the future. Then there's no backing out." Alex smiled and readily agreed. By the time they were done talking the match between Rias and Sona seemed to be finishing.

Same as in the original fight Rias lost Gasper, Asia, and Xenovia, but didn't seem to be as desperate as she was in the novel. The rating she got wasn't too good, but she won. Alex decided to stay around the infirmary to congratulate her when she arrived. He looked over to the fight between Diodora, and Zephyrdol, and saw Diodora suddenly get stronger and beat Zephyrdol. Alex frowned at the scene, and Seekvaira said beside him,

"How did he get that strong? I don't remember him being that capable." Alex didn't say anything, as he started thinking of ways to deal with Diodora in the near future. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard his name being called,

"Alex, I heard you won!" Rias followed by Akeno came up to Alex and they both hugged him. Seekvaira seemed uncomfortable at the situation and quickly dismissed herself after passing her contact info to Alex. The two girls looked suspicious at Seekvaira's behavior, but Alex shook his head and said,

"I just need her help for something, I'll tell you more about it later." They looked suspicious, but didn't say anything. They already agree not to get in Alex's way of other girls, their bodies wouldn't survive otherwise. Soon both Kiba and Koneko joined them as they waited to hear about the three that retired. As they were waiting an old man with an eyepatch and a woman wearing armor appeared and started walking towards them. They stopped when they reached Alex and the old man started staring at Rias's breasts in and obviously perverted manner. Alex stepped forward and with his gravity dispelled went to flick the old mans head, which he unsurprisingly dodged.

"Hey Odin, get your eyes off my girl. If you don't then I might have to take out some anger on you." The old man, Odin looked surprised at Alex's words and started laughing.

"Ah youth, the young ones never seem to know their own worth. I'd ask if you knew who you were threatening, but considering you identified me on sight I'd say you already did." Alex nodded and said,

"You're Odin the chief of the northern gods and Valhalla. And the old man who's ass I'm going to kick if he looks at my women with perverted eyes again." Odin laughed again at Alex's words, but he didn't know that with both the super Saiyan and the boosted gear, even if he died in the attempt he would be more than capable to take on at least a couple gods. After saying a few words the old man started to leave, but Alex stopped the girl and said,

"If you have any boyfriend troubles in the future my bed is always available." In a teasing manner. The girl turned Crimson at his words and Odin starting laughing harder than before. She started sputtering, not even being able to say anything while Odin said,

"There you go Rosswiesse, a new boyfriend for you. Now you can brag to the other Valkyries about it. Hahahahaha." He finally took his leave while dragging the still stuttering Rossweisse with him.
