Not long after Irina transferred, they started getting ready for the sports festival. Alex wasn't too interested in it though he was however helping various people get ready for it. It was during this that he finally met the perverted glasses girl, Aika Kiryuu who was also the church trios best friend.
"Greetings there senior." She said while also obviously examining him. Her gaze stopped around his crotch, and Alex said,
"Like what you see perverted Girl? Or is your "scouter" malfunctioning?" What Alex was talking about was Kiryuu's supposed ability to use her glasses to measure a mans manhood even through his clothes. He recalled she claimed to use it on issei to see if he was suitable for both Asia and Rias before. He also knew that she found out about Devils before any other humans in issei's life, and even started to learn magic to be able to help Asia and the others in the future. Kiryuu looked surprised at Alex's words, as she didn't think he knew about her scouter ability, and said,
"Ufufufufufufu, as expected of the number one Casanova in the school, and yes I did like what I saw, I liked it very much. From what I heard from Xenovia though, you're more than capable enough to handle the girls around you. I almost want to try you out myself." Alex wanted to comment that he wasn't a "ride", but he decided that there would probably be several women who would disagree with him. He was also somewhat interested in her, as except for Akeno's s&m tendencies that she hasn't actually revealed yet, none of the girls around him could be labeled perverts. So he only replied,
"If you want a try then wait your turn. You might get lucky someday. Just try not to corrupt those three too much ok?" Aika looked surprised that he actually said that he'd consider her, and laughed at him telling her not to corrupt the church trio. After few more suggestive remarks from her, Kiryuu left to find her friends, but not before Alex slipped a summoning circle into her pocket. He figured there would be no harm if she found out about them this soon, and considering she even went out of her way to learn magic as a human, might even be a possible pawn for Rias in the future.
Later he went to the club room, where they were discussing future matches. They were told that their next match would be revealed to them that day, and were anxiously waiting to hear about it. However a possibility that none of them considered was suddenly shouted out by Gasper.
"what if we have to fight Alex?! I don't know if I could do that!" At Gaspers words everyone suddenly looked worried about the next match. Azazel chuckled at the idea, and Alex thought it would be interesting even though all of the girls seemed to go pale at the thought. As they all had this thought though, a magic circle appeared in the corner of the room.
"Astaroth." Alex muttered in distaste. Everyone became tense seeing the magic circle, and Diodora appeared. He looked around the clubroom until his eyes fell on Asia, and he smiled.
"Hello my beautiful Asia, I came to see you." Asia looked uncomfortable when he called her "his", and Rias frowned. Rias Alex and Azazel sat on the couch, while Diodora moved to sit across from them. The others gathered to the side, as they were present as Rias's servants, and Irina and Ravel were guests. Before Rias said anything, Diodora got right into what he wanted.
"I'll get to the point, I want to trade you for the bishop Asia Argento." He said casually and started pulling out a form of his servants for her to choose from. But when Rias was handed the paper, she destroyed it with the power of destruction without even looking at it. Diodora looked surprised at the hostility that even she was starting to show him, and Rias said,
"I don't even need to bother because I have no intentions of trading my cute servants." Diodora looked surprised and asked,
"Is it that you want to keep her healing ability?" Rias nodded, but also said,
"That is true, but I have also come to adore Asia as a person. I even started to think of her as a little sister." Both Diodora and Alex were surprised at her words. Alex knew that she thought this way in the series, but didn't know when she started thinking this way this time. Asia also looked moved to tears, which showed she also didn't know Rias thought of her like this. Diodora nodded, and stood as if he knew he wasn't going to get her this time, and walked over to her.
"Asia, it seems as if you have to wait a while longer to be with me, but don't worry I won't give up. I'm not sure if you're aware, but I've also come to realize that your current master has been destroying the gifts I've been sending you. Just tell me when you want to leave and I'll find someway to get you away from her." Alex wanted to vomit at his words, he made it sound like Rias was selfishly keeping Asia from leaving regardless of her wishes, and that she actually wanted to be with him. He was a about to say something when,
SLAP!!!
Asia smacked Diodora across the face for badmouthing Rias. He was surprised this still happened, as it took Diodora calling issei filthy for it to happen originally. He was still smiling though, even though Asia was glaring at him with tears eyes. Alex stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder,
"I think it's time for you to leave." Diodora smacked Alex's hand away, and said to everyone's surprise except Alex's,
"I don't want a filthy dragon to touch me."
SMACK!!!
Diodora's other cheek suddenly matched the first one as Asia smacked him once more. Alex was surprised, Asia smacking Diodora was already a badass moment for her, but smacking him twice was completely golden in his book.
"Alex is not filthy!" She declared with actual tears running down her face, but Alex guessed they were tears of fury, as he didn't think he ever saw Asia as mad as she now. Diodora's smile finally faded, he looked at Alex and declared,
"When we eventually fight, I will defeat you. I won't do something as foolish as retiring my peerage like Seekvaira, I look forward to beating you." Alex didn't say anything as Diodora left, he felt that it would mean that he even bothered putting him into same category as himself. Instead he was thinking of how to deal with him. He'll probably go to Sirzechs and Azazel about him being a traitor, to plan before his and Rias's rating game. They should also prevent Asia's abduction this time around, was what Alex thought. He and Rias suddenly got the message about their next opponents.
