The good news reached the Ministry of San Juan, and everybody was celebrating. The next day Maria was stable and passes to a normal room for her to rest. Katsumi returns to her job as the closing ceremony in two days. Sister Carolina is still unconscious in her room.
Sister Griselda, Daniel and Valerie along with the three sisters visit Maria in her room. Johanna and Uriel eat at a café in the Sun City. Johanna drinks a cappuccino and Uriel drinks a normal coffee with some cookies.
"Now then Johanna what exactly is the SIA" Uriel as Johanna, she drinks from her cup and says: "Exactly what it sounds like, we are in charge of investigating the Supernatural activity in this country."
"So you are just like Yggdrasill?" Uriel replies.
"No, the Tree is in charge of protecting them, we only investigate, this is why I did not participate in your battle at the Volcano, and yes I know you are El Charro Negro" Johanna replies to Uriel. Uriel drinks from his cup and asks:
"So then what do you need my help for?"
"You know about the Seven Cities of Gold?" Johanna says to Uriel. He closes his eyes and says: "Of course those are the legendary cities that caused many explorers such as Cabeza de Vaca to come and search for them."
"You are correct; do you know why they never found them?" Johanna replies to Uriel who begins to think as she continues to explain: "Everyone thinks that they are located in the territory of New Mexico, however they are wrong."
"What do you mean by that?" Uriel asks Johanna
"Well the truth is that the Seven Cities are actually located around the American Continent. You saw the Golden City of Halona in the Volcano right." Johanna replies making Uriel nod.
"Well last month two cities of Gold were discovered and two keys were taken by El Muerto, the first was the city of Matsaki located in the Mayan Territory in Honduras, The city of Kwakima in Peru. These temples have golden keys that according to my Agency open the door to the Underworld." Johanna says to Uriel leaving him speechless. Uriel begins to think:
"That explains the Golden Keys." He looks at Johanna and asks: "What do you need me for?"
"Well there is a Golden City in the territory of New Mexico, and I want you to come with me and find that key before El Muerto does."
Uriel drinks his coffee and says to Johanna: "I will help just because you saved my mother's life."
Johanna smiles and says: "Excellent choice. Now then time my second request." Uriel looks clueless and asks: "Okay what is it?"
"You will dance with me on the Graduation Dance." Johanna replies with a luxurious smile. Uriel sighs with his eyes close and says:
"Fine I'll dance with you, but I already promise Katusmi and some of my students I would dance with them as well."
"You are a lady's man ehh." Johanna says laughing causing Uriel to blush. Johanna stands up and kisses Uriel in the check saying: "I will see you in the dance."
Uriel looks at his coffee and thinks about the cities of gold and the gate to the underworld. Suddenly there was no sound or anyone around, He looks up and sees El Muerto this time with his white mask and says:
"Charro Negro, you saw what I did to your mother, if you interfere again I will kill everyone."
"Good luck with that, but I must say to you that I will stop you." Uriel says as he drinks his coffee in a calm way.
"The golden keys will be mine" El Muerto says as he disappears. Uriel looks around and sees that there no one around leaving thinking what happened to the place.
Two days have passed; the graduation ceremony for the University was first however Valerie did not go as she decided to stay in the hospital with his mother. The graduation ceremony for the high school division was also that day but Uriel also did not participate in it for the same reason.
"Ay hijos you should have gone to the ceremony." Maria says to her children,
Valerie nods at her saying: "NO MOTHER, IF YOU ARE NOT THERE THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR ME TO GO."
"She's right that is why I decided not to go; besides I am just a Substitute Teacher. Besides my contract ended on the last day of school."
(KNOCK, KNOCK)
"Excuse Mr. Di Fiore you have some guest in the waiting room" The nurse says leaving everyone wondering who it was. Maria, Daniel, the three sisters and Uriel walk to the waiting to find out a surprise.
"Where were you teacher we miss you." Victoria says at him, she pulls Uriel as he sees all of his students were there except for Aleister.
"We miss you." Marinette says with everyone nodding. Katsumi steps on front bowing to Maria saying: "I'm sorry Maria but the students wanted to say good bye to his Teacher."
Uriel looks surprised and says: "But why, I am just a substitute who only came here 3 months ago."
"You are right but you did more than anyone else, you even risks you life for us." Angel says to Uriel with his siblings agreeing with him.
"You are a great teacher; I hope we can meet in the future." The Lefleur siblings say to Uriel. Angela, Victoria and Marjorie hug Uriel saying: "Thank you teacher."
Katsumi instructs everyone to bow down their heads in a Japanese style of being grateful and everyone says: "Thank You, Substitute Teacher Uriel Di Fiore."
Uriel begins to cry and bows his head saying: "Thank you for accepting a Lazy Substitute Teacher like me."
Everybody in the room give a round of applause to Uriel with Maria hugging him saying:
"Vez mijo, you can change people's lives, you are good person."
"Well then don't forget the dance okay, you promise me a dance." Victoria says with a seductive voice. Every girl begins to fight saying: "He will dance with me, no with me; I call for the first dance."
The guys go to where Valerie is and ask her if she had a date. Katusmi says to Uriel: "You promise me a dance and as the assistant principal I am first"
Fabiola looks at the girls with rage as her sisters laugh. Maria laughs and says:
"Ay mijo you are a knucklehead lady's man, you have to keep your promises."
"AY MAMA, you are embarrassing me." Uriel says causing everyone to laugh.
Aleister looks at them at the top of the building with rage says: "DAMN YOU URIEL BUT MARK MY WORDS YOU WILL PAY!!"
