Bab 76: Monkey see, monkey do
A week after returning and a lot seemed to happen before Alex's first training session with Sun Wukong. After comforting Rias and Akeno, he found out that during his time in Kyoto there had been riots occurring in the Gremory territory, giving Rias a chance to max her current job and choose her next one. He also received a report from Kuroka a few days later stating that she chose a new job recently as well.

He was surprised seeing that Rias got the aura of destruction ability, but when she demonstrated it Alex realized it was nothing like Sirzechs. Sirzechs transformed into his super devil form and destroyed almost everything around him when he used his, Rias's was simply able to coat herself in destruction itself, and harm her surroundings. It was a good deterrent for those who used close combat, and a timely addition before her match against Sairaorg.
As for Kuroka, she was still sending him daily videos, but he had no idea what she was fighting to boost her skill levels the way she was. He was looking forward to seeing her again when Ophis would want to study him, though he wasn't sure about seeing Ophis again.
Aside from that Rias's group was focusing on their training, and since they might have to face Alex they were training separately. If Alex was being honest with himself, he didn't believe he would be facing Rias's group. In the original they barely won when they had issei, but now not only do they not have him, Rias was still short her eight pawns. He believed they would do better than before, but Sairaorg would still win. There was also the fact that he really wanted to fight Sairaorg.
He had spent his own training time with the talismans Wukong gave him, and mastering his ki, thanks to this his ki manipulation skill went up. He had also contacted Seekvaira about using time manipulation while he was training with Wukong, and surprisingly both of them agreed. She had trained her time manipulation to be able to fit twelve hours into a single hour, this meant that the two-three hours Wukong would train him turned into a day and a half. Both of them were quite pleased with this.
For the first session he had Alex start by going through several exercises, and showing the results of using the talismans. After verifying he was in fact improving his ki control, they moved onto actual combat. Now the two were flying around the training room while trading blows and Alex was causing several craters and cracks to form from his excessive use of strength. He lowered his gravity to one hundred times, so he was also trying to adjust his strength.
"HA! You can't catch me like that!"
"Come on now I'm not getting any younger."
Wukong taunted him, as he chased him around the room. Alex was growing frustrated at his taunts, but was paying attention to his every move, studying the way Wukong reacted and moved. At the moment Wukong was only dodging Alex again, saying that he didn't need to react to Alex since he wouldn't hit him anyways. They would only fight seriously when Alex didn't give him a choice. Alex studied the way Wukong didn't leak any ki in his movements, and tried to replicate it. As a result his next punch slightly connected when Wukong couldn't read the ki.
"Did you actually graze me?! So you can improve!" He said to Alex with a grin, but was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Alex to grasp the way to mask ki that swiftly, as they had only been sparing for six hours. He had also noticed that his movements were getting sharper at an unbelievable level. He then smacked him in the head with his staff again, only for Alex to brush it off and continue. This was the other thing that amazed him, his staff was several thousands pounds so each hit was enough to kill an ordinary person, yet Alex simply brushed them all off.
They continued for several more hours, Wukong not needing to stop and Alex not wanting to call it quits. As they went on Wukong also noticed that Alex's movements were starting to differ, and he managed to get a real hit on him. Wukong recoiled from the hit, not actually hurt but simply surprised that he managed it, and watched Alex curiously. They continued to spar, and he noticed what seemed different from before, Alex was starting to copy him.
This made Wukong shudder inside, as he never expected Alex would start to mimic his own movements and learn them. As they went on this became more apparent as Alex was starting to get more hits on him. Soon he called an end to the sparring match.
"That's enough, let's finish for now." Alex was surprised, but didn't disagree. He did ask though,
"Shouldn't we use the rest of the time we have left?" They still had over twelve hours left, and Alex thought they shouldn't waste time. Wukong shook his head and said,
"You're improving at a faster rate than I expected. Since we're further ahead than I thought there's no need to keep going, and you can use this time to relax. Relaxation is just as important as training." Alex recalled hearing the same thing before, so he didn't argue. They exited the training room, and met a surprised Seekvaira outside.
"That was fast." Was all she said. She had expected them to keep training for the whole time, not to leave early. Wukong nodded and said,
"He's ahead of schedule so I decided to call it quits for the day. You're also free to return." She then nodded and after giving Alex a weird look, left via magic circle. Wukong turned to him and said,
"Keep up your training with the talismans, and I'll see you next week." Alex nodded and watched the old monkey leave.
