A couple days later Alex was in a dressing room waiting to start an interview about the next matches. There was going to be him, Rias, and Sairaorg being interviewed at once. He was wearing a suit with a tie, and his color scheme was designed to match Rias due to them being a couple, even though they had the possibility to be opponents soon. Ravel was the one currently fussing over his looks, and trying to make sure he was prepared to speak in front of people.
"Make sure you don't stutter or say "um" a lot, and speak loudly and confidently." Alex smiled as she went on, and leaned over and kissed her cheek, causing her to freeze. He then said,
"I'll be fine, you already helped me to prepare for the questions they'll most likely ask, and chances are they'll mostly focus on Sairaorg and Rias since they're the only confirmed fighters so far." Ravel sighed at his words, but didn't say anything. After a few more minutes,
"Mister Alex, we're about to start." The attendant said, causing Alex to wink at Ravel before following him out to the studio. He was directed to sit on a small couch next to Rias, while Sairaorg was sitting on a chair and the host was at his desk. Once the cameras were ready he put on a big smile and and said,
"Welcome back! We are now interviewing the three top contenders in the youth Devils rating games! First is the one known as the strongest youth devil, heir of the great King family, Sairaorg Bael! Then you have the younger sister of the Crimson haired Maou, and the heiress of the Gremory group, Rias Gremory! Last but certainly not least, the one who'll duke it out with the winner of the first two, the current red dragon emperor, Alex!"
At his words there were tons of cheers from the audience behind the cameras. Alex had one hand around Rias's shoulders, and was waving with the other one, while Rias and Sairaorg were doing the same. He was almost sure he didn't imagine several guys glaring at him for being so close to Rias. After the applause died down the announcer then started speaking again.
"Now then the ones who'll be fighting first, Rias and Sairaorg, what do you think about the upcoming match against each other, your own cousin?" Sairaorg then answered,
"I wish to show all the strength that my fist has, I have no intention to restrain myself even against my own cousin to do that. Plus I would never expect she would hold back against me, to do so would be to disrespect each other." Rias nodded at his words and continued,
"Indeed, I have no intention of holding back. With my adorable servants, we will defeat any who stand in our way." The audience was excited at their words, and the host turned his next question towards Alex,
"So red dragon, who do you think will be facing you after the match?" Everyone became quiet at his words, and Rias and Sairaorg also looked at him curiously. Alex sighed, and hoped he wasn't digging himself into a hole.
"I'm not sure yet, I am aware of the strength of Rias's peerage, so I know they are not easy to defeat. However I know nothing about Sairaorg's group, so it is hard to be certain. However, regardless of who I fight, even against my own woman, I will not hold back. It would be disrespectful I believe, to hold back my strength against those trying their hardest, regardless of our relations." Hearing his words, Rias smiled slightly, and tucked up closer to him. Seeing how close the two of them were, even after declaring war, the audience went nuts. Then host then asked,
"Of the two though, which one do you want to fight?" They all became silent again, and Alex looked at Sairaorg with shining eyes and said,
"Of course the one I want to fight the most is someone who also talks with their fists. Regardless of how the matches turn out, Sairaorg Bael, I will fight you someday, and show you the one who has a stronger fist." It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as Sairaorg smiled and started laughing with glee.
"Well then, I guess I have to ensure Rias loses so that we can see who has the stronger fist! Hahaha!" The atmosphere turned excited as the match between the two became anticipated. Rias looked concerned until Alex clarified,
"Just remember, if you beat Rias I'll most likely be out for revenge. You better bring all of your strength, I know about your secret weapon, and I won't accept a win if you don't use it." Sairaorg looked surprised when Alex said he knew about his secret weapon, and knew he was talking about his pawn. Instead of being concerned about that though he was growing even more excited for their match.
The interview continued for a while, before they finally ended it and they got to leave. By the time it was over everyone was even more excited for the matches, and couldn't wait for the next several days to pass. Alex didn't think he'd need it, but was also grateful for having one more session with Sun Wukong before the match. He already decided not to use the super Saiyan, as even though he wasn't trying to keep it secret anymore, he didn't want to advertise it on a live broadcast. He felt as if he was cheating Sairaorg, but got over it as he would hopefully be able to have a rematch in the future.
