The next morning Alex awoke with a naked Kuroka clinging to him on one side, and the naked Ingvild clinging to the other. Kuroka's passion ended up being too much for her to take without Alex accepting it, while Ingvild was also feeling similar since it was her first concert, and she had a sort of high from her tensions at the time. Looking at both girls, Alex decided to let them rest a bit longer until Grayfia woke them, but he also spent the time waiting grabbing and pinching their butts in their sleep, any man of culture would have.
"Nyannnnn..." Kuroka lightly groaned in her sleep, she probably would have woken up by now if they weren't so intense the night before. He then took it a bit further by teasing the base of her tails, making her body twitch at the stimulation. This went on until Grayfia arrived with Burent and Marion, which woke Kuroka and Ingvild up.
As she woke up Kuroka looked around with confusion at why her sleep was felt disturbed, until her eyes focused on Alex. She fixed him with a mock glare for teasing her in her sleep, to which Alex simply dragged her and Ingvild into the bathroom for more fun before starting the day. Almost an hour later the three of them, accompanied by Grayfia, arrived at the kitchen to send off the girls that would be heading out for the day.
"Good morning master." Akeno said right as he arrived with the other two, prompting the rest of the girls to follow suit and say their good mornings. Alex smiled and replied with his own greetings, before digging into the breakfast Akeno made. Everyone started discussing any plans for the day, before Gabriel asked,
"Do you plan to train some more today Alex?" Hearing this everyone looked at Alex curiously, to which he said,
"I'm planning to, I want to reach the next stage of my transformation before the finals. But I can make time later if you want to do something together Gabriel." She smiled when she heard his words, while Serafall asked with curiosity,
"You know, none of us know anything about that transformation of yours, how many different forms are there?💕" Though he relieved their worries the day before, everyone was still curious about Serafall's question, and paid attention to their conversation. The answer to her question however,
"I don't know." Alex shrugged to her question, not truly knowing the answer. They all looked at him with dumbfounded expressions, to which he explained,
"The information I have about that ability is spotty at best, so there's some I know about and others I'm not sure exist. I know for sure there's three different transformation besides the ape form, which what I've used so far is just the first one. What I used yesterday is simply a different stage of the same form. As for the ones I'm not sure about, I'll learn through trial and error." Alex knew about the God forms and the super saiyan four, but since what was "canon" for the DBZ world changed he wasn't sure if one existed and the other didn't, or if they both did. So he intended to master the first three forms first, then he'll start experimenting with obtaining those forms. But before all of that he needed to completely master his first form.
After seeing off the girls and promising to spend time with Gabriel after his training, Alex started leaving to go to the training area. However someone he wasn't expecting started following him when he left, causing Alex to turn around and look at Ophis. He then asked,
"Are you following to watch me train Ophis?" To his surprise however, the dragon God shook her head and replied,
"Also training." Alex didn't understand, as he doubted Ophis needed to train at all during her long existence. His question was answered however, when he opened the doors to the manor and found Bova waiting there. When he noticed Alex was also present, Bova hung his head as if shamed, and started explaining before Alex even asked anything.
"I asked lady Ophis to help train me since I've been so useless lately. I felt that if this kept up then I would only be holding my lord back, but I also didn't want to ask my lord himself to help me train. After all, what kind of retainer asks their lord to make them useful?" When Alex heard the unnecessary explain action he almost started laughing, and smiled as he said,
"If you're heading to the training area follow me, I'll have you two accompany me in training today." Bova looked both excited and ashamed at Alex's words, while Ophis looked really interested since she didn't know too much about Alex's powers. Alex then led the way as both of the dragons followed him to train.
When they walked up to Seekvaira so she could activate the time manipulation formation, she turned to look at Alex only to have her eye stared twitching when she saw the two with him. After a second she asked,
"Are the two of them accompanying you in training today?" Alex nodded, and said,
"Ophis is apparently training Bova, so I invited them to train with me as well today." She sighed in response to his words, and said,
"I see, well just wait for a while. We restock the amount of food after every training session in those rooms, but I don't know if there's enough for all three of you so we have to make sure." Alex nodded and waited while they ensured there was enough food for them, before leading the way to the training room. After Seekvaira closed the door and activated the formation, Alex triggered the increased gravity as well. Since Bova wasn't as used to this increased gravity as him, Alex only increased it by ten times. He then turned to the struggling dragon, and said,
"Come at me." Bova was surprised at what came out of Alex's mouth and looked at Ophis, who simply nodded in confirmation. If she was going to train him then she needed to personally examine his capabilities, and base his training around that. Though Ophis wasn't a master at teaching or something, it was a fact that no one in the dxd world knew more about the training needed for dragons than her, the God of dragons in this world.
After starting their mock battle, what happened after could only be considered bullying. Bova was lying on the ground panting as the combination of both the increased gravity and Alex were merciless towards him. Ophis then walked up to Bova's head, and poked it before saying,
"Weak." Causing the dragon to cry out in shame, while Alex secretly apologized to him for beating him one sidedly. It wasn't that Bova was weak, but that Alex was too far ahead of him. Ophis however continued from what she said earlier,
"But I will teach you to be strong." At her words Bova began to cheer up, until she continued,
"Strong enough to help challenge Great Red." At her words Bova looked conflicted, as he now seemed to be drafted into fighting the Apocalypse Dragon. Alex only smirked at Bova's situation, and left the two to their training while he started his own.
After walking a fair distance away, he transformed into a super Saiyan, then started condensing his power to switch to the 2nd stage super Saiyan. As he had grown accustomed to this process now it only took a couple seconds for Alex to complete it, then he started working on trying to reach the third grade super Saiyan.
Both Bova and Ophis were watching Alex in silence, both captivated by the sight. For Bova this was a reminder how far ahead his lord was from him, while Ophis was curious about this new power Alex used.
