Chương 56: I refuse

Alex looked upon the place he spent the last fifty days and saw the slice marks and craters from his training. He had taken a week to learn the ki manipulation skill, and has only gotten better since then. Instead of increasing his power during super Saiyan, he focused on reaching complete mastery, but while he made significant progress knew he was still a long way from it. His body felt completely different, as he had upped the gravity to 175 times normal gravity by now. He only had a couple hours left until the time ran out, and went through each of the moves he had been practicing until then.

At first he started by transforming into a super Saiyan so that he had a surplus of ki, then tried to condense it outside of his body. When he was able to do so with ease, he then moved on to doing it in his normal form so that he was able to do it with less ki flowing through his body. After that Alex tried to "throw" it so that it was a ki blast, and started blasting entire areas with ki. It wasn't long until he started trying to control the ki to take various forms, such as a destructo disk, once he had it outside his body. A couple days of that and he finally managed to get the ki manipulation skill.

From there he focused on manipulating the ki and increasing his skill for the rest of his time. Once he started learning how to better control his own ki, Alex realized part of the reason why his super Saiyan form seemed weaker was his lack of ki control allowing most of the excess ki to escape from his body. Once he figured out how to condense it somewhat, his physical capabilities soared even though he didn't completely master it, and there was still a lot of excess.

Another benefit of training was that the cool down for his boosted gear ended, and he was able to use it again. Alex also took the time to try several things with both the boosted gear and the super Saiyan, much to Ddraig's displeasure even though Alex held himself back. Now he was about to leave in just a couple hours, and Alex had one last thing he wanted to try, another childhood fantasy. He took both of his hands, and placed them at his side,

"KA-"

Seekvaira had been standing outside the room for the last twelve hours, and had spent that entire time wondering what her father was thinking by coming himself. Though she doubted him lying about wanting to help with ally's, she knew he wasn't that good natured that he'd go out of his way to come all the way here and help someone he never met get stronger. It was when she was still thinking on this, that the entire surrounding area started shaking, and Seekvaira nearly fell over from it.

She looked towards the area where Alex was supposed to be training, and felt a bit of worry, not for him, but because she let her mind slip for a moment when the shaking started and lost control over the time formation. She knew he would only have a couple hours left, practically seconds for her, but she still didn't like failing what she was doing. As she was thinking this, a figure appeared and she recognized it as Alex. He was covered in dust and coughing, but that wasn't what she focused on, his aura was completely different from when he went in. It was denser, more controlled, and it held strength more than anything. She wondered what the hell did he do in those fifty days to turn into a monster?

"Sorry, I tried something out and had a bit of an accident." He said with an apologetic expression. Seekvaira froze as she realized the significance of what he just said, Alex CAUSED that phenomenon to happen. She couldn't believe this, twelve hours was all it took in real time, and there was this much difference. She resolved herself to be much better at using her time manipulation in the future if it could help her peerage like it did for Alex.

She realized with a shock that this must be what her father wanted, her to see the impact their time capabilities if used correctly. She always thought it was useful mostly in combat, but was now believing otherwise. She also resolved to never make an enemy out of Alex and to stay on his good side.

Alex went back not aware of the spark he had created, and returned to the dorm to find the girls waiting for him. He was quite surprised to find Kuroka and Koneko sitting together, but everyone dropped what they were doing and stared at Alex in shock at the difference he managed in just twelve hours. He tried to hug them but,

"Go shower now." Was all Rias said with a frown on her face. Alex realized that he didn't get a chance to shower for the time He was training. He grabbed Kuroka, and dragged her upstairs into the shower with him, leaving the rest of the girls to start discussing once he left the room. Once Alex was in the shower, he rinsed himself off while Kuroka started washing him, then once he was clean enough took her from behind as she started her cute moans. He knew that the Vali team would be leaving during the battle, and wanted to get some time with Kuroka in before that.

When he first entered her after his fifty day dry spell Alex almost instantly creamed her. He wondered if he was growing addicted to sex, but decided not to worry about it.

"Haaaa, haaaaaa, haaaaaaaaaa, NYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!" She cried out as Alex pounded her, before releasing his load into her. He then turned her to face him and pinned her against the wall, as she watched him with lust filled eyes. They were at it for nearly an hour, before they both left the shower. It was almost time for bed, but Kuroka surprised him when she told him where she was going to be sleeping.

"I'll be staying with Shirone tonight. Today we talked about various things, she decided to forgive me for leaving her behind, and I told her the details about what almost happened. Truly, thank you." Kuroka said as she kissed him again, before running off out the door. Alex went to lay down in his bed for the first time in nearly two months. Most likely because everyone knew there was going to be a big battle the next day, no one came for a night visit, not that he was complaining after using Kuroka to get his fix earlier. Not long after he had this thought though, Alex heard his door open. He turned to look at the visiter,

"Alex, do me." Akeno said plainly as she stood there at the edge of his bed in her birthday suit. Normally Alex would agree, even after earlier, but Akeno's eyes were dead as she asked him. He sighed and turned back over and said,

"No thanks, goodnight." Akeno looked shocked at his words, and asked,

"Why?" Alex sighed again and turned back to face her, before explaining.

"Normally I would say yes, but you don't want sex, you want to get comforted because of your father." Akeno don't know how to react to his words, then asked,

"Then what should I do?" Alex then opened his blankets while saying,

"While I won't have sex with you like this, that doesn't mean I won't try to help you. Let's just sleep, and we'll see how you're doing in the morning." Akeno hesitated, before crawling into Alex's blankets, and curling up next to him. He wrapped his arms around her, and started drifting into sleep again before,

"What should I do, about Barakiel?" She asked suddenly. Alex thought for a moment, then said,

"Why not try to find the real reason you claim to hate him? Just imagine if something happened to him and you never got the chance to make up." She suddenly turned to look at Alex with distress and shock on her face, as she never actually thought of something happening to her father. Seeing that Alex raised an eyebrow at her, and said as his face became sad,

"See, no matter how much you claim to hate him you don't want him to leave you. Take it from me Akeno, enjoy your time with your father, because you never know when you wake up one day and he's not there anymore." As Alex talked he thought about his own parents, not the ones he left in this life, but the only ones he considered his parents on his home world. He knew that even if he won and became a god, he would most likely never see them again.

Akeno was confused, as Alex's parents were alive in this very city, but didn't say anything as she considered his words. Leaving those words Alex went to sleep while holding onto Akeno. She however was awake for the next several hours, before falling into an uneasy sleep.
