For the next week until Alex's match against Wukong all people talked about was Rias's match against Barakiel, or more accurately the match between Akeno and her father. Akeno was already well known for being an extreme S during her fights, but what happened during her fight against her father was a whole other level. There was also the fact that she claimed to be Alex's sex slave, and wore a collar he gave her.
Due to him "dominating" over the extreme S Akeno, people had started referring to Alex as Super Sadist, and started calling into question his other relationships. Though this would be easy to dismiss normally, after Akeno's claim that she got stronger due to "sucking" the dragons power when they were together, almost every girl wanted to try it. As there were several that hasn't serviced him with their mouth before, it was quite the experience.
The one that reacted the worst to the match however, was Barakiel. After showing everyone his extreme M face, he refused to leave his manor until Akeno threatened to never bring him lunches again. He did however state that he'd never leave Asora until they were already in another world. This all took place before Alex's match, a single week after Rias's.
Now it was the day he was due to fight his former teacher, Wukong. Alex was itching with excitement at the thought of settling things between them, a feeling Crom shared as he wanted to see if Wukong's team members were strong.

"AND WELCOME ALL TO THIS VERY EXCITING MATCH TODAY, AS THE RED DRAGON EMPEROR TAKES ON HIS FORMER TEACHER!"
When Alex heard the announcer talking about the match he was slightly surprised they didn't mention the previous match, but he wasn't complaining. He faced Wukong on the stadium field as the screen showed what kind of game they were playing.
"AND THE GAME IS DICE FIGURE FOLKS!"
A moment after they heard the name of the game, both teams were transported to their waiting places as they rolled the dice, and the rules were explained.
"BOTH KINGS WILL ROLL A DIE, AND THE COMBINED AMOUNT WILL DETERMINE WHO CAN ENTER THAT PARTICULAR ROUND. THE PIECES ARE SET DEPENDING ON THEIR ROLES. AND THE KINGS WORTH WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE JUDGES, WHO HAVE DECIDED THAT BOTH KINGS ARE WORTH TWELVE! THIS MEANS THAT BOTH KINGS WILL BE UNABLE TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE UNLESS THE HIGHEST NUMBER ON THE DICE IS ROLLED, NOW LETS START THE GAME!"
Even though he said that they still had a planning period before the match started. Alex turned to look at his team, and said,
"Well the rules are pretty straight forward, but this is a good chance as the fights will be straight forward as well." He then spent the rest of the remaining planning time discussing things with his team, even mentioning that if the number twelve comes up he'll immediately go out. After a while the planning time ended, and it was time to start the game.
Alex walked up to the stand with the giant die on it, and threw it. Wukong copied him on the other stand, and everyone watched as the two dice rolled around, until Alex's stopped on four, and Wukong's on six. The announcer then shouted out,
"THE FIRST ROUND IS A TOTAL OF TEN, THIS MEANS THERES QUITE A FEW COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE FOR EACH SIDE AS THEY PLAY THEIR PIECES!"
Alex immediately turned to Crom and said,
"I plan to go as soon as it's twelve, so this may be your best chance to fight someone from the other side Crom." The dragon looked towards the other side, and his eyes started glittering in anticipation. Each member of the other side was strong as they were composed of legendary figures from "Journey to the West", no matter who his opponent was he was sure of a good fight.
"I'll go, regardless of who they send I doubt I'll be disappointed." And he walked towards the magic circle that would take him to actual place they would fight, as far as Alex knew it changed with each round. This time it looked like it was a field of crops in the country, but it seemed all the open space was needed, seeing as the one facing Crom was a giant green eastern dragon. Seeing the dragon, Yu Long, Crom almost shivered in anticipation and said,
"So I'm to face one of the current dragon kings, this is quite exciting." Yu Long however had different thoughts,
"Oh man, I have to face Crom Cruach right off the bat?!" Yu Long's reaction was pretty normal, as he was a dragon king and Crom's power was said to be equal, or even greater than the heavenly dragons, Ddraig's or Albion's in their prime. As if he wanted to match Yu Long, Crom then transformed into his dragon form, earning another cry from the young dragon king at his bad luck.
What happened after that could only be called bullying, as the green dragon was one sidedly thrashed by Crom, ending with him being retired. After the announcement that Yu Long retired, Crom returned to the waiting area where the rest of them were. He had a look as if he didn't know how to take his victory, as he sat down. Alex then stood and went to roll the die once more, earning exclamations of surprise from the audience.
"THIS TIME WE HAVE TWO SIXES THERE FOR A TOTAL VALUE OF TWELVE, THIS MEANS THAT BOTH KINGS HAVE THE OPTION TO COME OUT AND END THE GAME, OR TO SEND A COMBINATION OF THEIR PIECES AND KEEP GOING!"
No one said anything as Alex immediately got up and walked towards the magic circle. When Alex next opened his eyes he was in what seemed to be a mountainous temple area, with steep cliffs on either side going down into fog.
"I knew you would jump into the fight as soon as you could." Alex looked up at the speaker, his former teacher, Sun Wukong.
"AND HERE WE HAVE IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS SHORT AS IT WAS, WE ARE NOW AT THE LAST MATCH OF THE DAY. HOWEVER, THE FIGHT WE DID HAVE WAS AN INTENSE BATTLE BETWEEN TOP TIER DRAGONS, AND NOW WE HAVE THE SUPER SADIST VS THE GREAT VICTORIOUS FIGHTING BUDDAH!"
When Alex heard what the announcer called him he nearly tripped over nothing, while Wukong started laughing at his students expense. Ignoring Alex's glare, Wukong then said,
"I figured you'd be out once the dice let you, we shouldn't wait until both of us are tired and drained to have our showdown." Alex nodded and replied,
"Then let's start."
