Chương 54: Preparations

After getting his arm reattached, Alex and the others returned to the club room and met with the student council to discuss the cooperation Vali proposed. Of course everyone was against it, until Azazel stated that Sirzechs and Michael approved it so that Odin's meeting was successful. Alex didn't really pay attention to the discussions, as he was debating the best way for him to train before the next fight. He would only have about one to two days before then, so how would he be able to maximize the benefits before then. He then recalled someone, and sent them a message before turning back to the meeting.

"The main issue is how to develop any countermeasures against them, I'm planning to ask the dragon King Midgardsormr. He's also Loki's son so he should be able to give us info to combat his father and brother." As Azazel finished talking Alex decided that he didn't want to spend time getting information he already knew and spoke up,

"Aren't there chains we could use for Fenrir, and what about Mjölnir for Loki?" Azazel gave Alex an incredulous look, and replied,

"If you're referring to the magic-chain Gleipnir, then we already decided that it wouldn't work. As for Mjölnir, I seriously don't think that Thor would lend us a gods weapon." Alex just shrugged and said,

"There's no replicas? And isn't there a way to improve the chain to hold Fenrir? The dwarves or elves would be able to do it, won't they?" Everyone looked at Alex with confusion, until Odin spoke up.

"I see what you mean Azazel brat, this child is a little too insightful about various things. Indeed there's a replica of Mjölnir that the dwarves and dark elves have, and the same dark elves might be able to improve Gleipnir. Geez, I'll send word so that we'll have them available for the fight, and I'll lend the hammer to you red dragon." Alex nodded as he went back to thinking of the best way to increase his strength. After the finer details were discussed, the major powers went their way and that left the Gremory group, Vali team, and student council.

Akeno sat by herself, obviously still affected by the fight with her father. Bikou picked a fight with Rias, even though he didn't start the "switch princess" craze this time the two still fought. Irina , Kiba, and Xenovia were discussing the last Excalibur, "ruler" with Arthur. Vali sat by himself reading what Alex recalled was a book about Norse magic to use against Loki. Suddenly he felt someone grab onto his back, and heard a "nyan" in his ear. Alex turned around and saw Kuroka clinging onto him, causing all the girls to suddenly look alive.

"Nyan, you're quite manly you know, not even flinching when you lost an arm. You're quite strong too, how about giving me a child? Nyan." Alex suddenly had a thought, he didn't need to meet with his contact until the morning, and he intended to go for Kuroka eventually. He swiftly built an idea and replied to her,

"Ok, but I have a condition." Kuroka looked surprised, but said,

"I don't know what you want, but I won't spy on Vali for you or anything nyan." Alex shook his head and said,

"It's not that, but I do need to talk to you in private about it." Kuroka looked excited at what she thought "private" meant, and Alex swiftly took her back to the dorm, and more specifically his room. As they left Bikou laughed and said to Vali,

"Hey look at that, should have taken the chance when she offered it Vali." Vali looked up and said,

"I'm not too bothered by it, I was the one to turn her down before." Bikou then turned to Rias and the per girls and said,

"What about you guys? She's about to steal your man." Rias just smirked at Bikou, confusing him, until Asia, Xenovia, and even Akeno looked up and they felt the same thing as Rias,

"If she thinks she can take him, then she's welcome to try. Something tells me that no matter how many women Alex has in the future, he'll always be the last one to finish at night." Sona and the others were surprised at how daring Rias's words were, but they had the intended effect when Bikou realized she wasn't exaggerating when the other three confirmed them. He then looked away in shame, and both Vali and Arthur raised an eybrow when they heard Rias boasting of Alex's prowess.

Meanwhile Alex and Kuroka were arriving at his room. He turned to close and lock the door, while also placing several barriers to ensure privacy, as he didn't wan the others to accidentally hear what he wanted to talk with Kuroka about. When he turned around however, she had already dropped her kimono, revealing her lack of undergarments and the neatly trimmed black patch right above her crotch. When she saw him looking at her, Kuroka smiled mischievously and sat on the edge of the bed, while also spreading her legs apart for Alex to get a better look. Alex raised an eyebrow, and said,

"While I would like to get started right away, I do need to discuss something with you, we'll go for the next several hours after that." Kuroka looked surprised that he remained composed while she displayed herself, and felt a little hurt at his apprentice lack of interest. Alex noticed this and explained,

"I have four women that I'm currently sleeping with, I'm sorry to say that I'm a little immune to some antics." He then sat on the bed next to her, and pulled something out. Kuroka was dumbfounded at what he offered her. In Alex's hand, was a single Crimson queen piece.

"Why do you have this? I though you didn't get the evil pieces?" She asked, her verbal tick gone. Alex then replied,

"I can't tell you, unless you accept it. Once you do then you'll understand the secrecy, and this doesn't mean I want you to spy on Vali, I want you to get stronger while with him." This was Alex's idea, Kuroka would still be traveling with Vali for quite a while, and fighting strong opponents while doing so. This would be a good chance for her to raise her job level, and with the coming fight she would be stronger with the attribute increases.

After a moment of hesitation, Kuroka accepted the evil piece, and felt a surge of power at the queen attributes strengthened her. Her eyes started practically glowing at the new power, until Alex broke her out of her current state, and started explaining. He told her about being from a different world, and his plans to go to other worlds in the future. However Kuroka looked concerned when he mentioned that, and said while slightly glaring,

"What about Shirone?! I refuse to leave her behind again!" She didn't even try to hide her true feelings, because Alex already proved he knew about their past. Alex shook his head quickly and said,

"I plan to take her with me as well, but through a different method." Kuroka looked pacified at his words, and stood to moderately test her new capabilities, apparently forgetting she was still naked. Alex smiled and said,

"Don't say it around others, but say status." She looked confused, but said,

"Status!" And the screen appeared in front of her.

(A.N. So I originally made Kuroka a pawn, but when I made her status I realized she would probably make a better queen as she is already capable in pretty much every aspect.

And about the super Saiyan issues, I stated a few items already that Alex is severely weak compared to Goku and Vegeta. It doesn't help that Toriyama is extremely inconsistent with the strength of his characters. Compared to Goku and Vegeta who spent their entire lives battling organizations and such, Alex could only fight in secret until recently and used shortcuts to achieve the super Saiyan as he already knew how to achieve it, while Goku and Vegeta blundered around until they found it. I'm aware that it's supposed to a planet buster level of strength, but that level was only displayed for the basic super Saiyan once against Frieza. After that it kinda got degraded, and that's what I'm building off of, so don't picture planet busting Goku, but maybe goten and trunks during the buu saga.)
