章節 20: Extra strong
He was supposed to be a secret.
Abandoned as a child-
He wondered in the borderlands-
Alone.
Injured-
Afraid-
Yet-
When a high angel finally found him- instead of respecting him and helping him, she offered him a deal.
Once every year- he would get to eat the soul of one of her students, and in exchange he would teach how scary the world was by scaring and intimidating the hell out of them.
At first, he sucked and hated the job. After all, despite the extra food, he was still lonely.
Yet- as time went on, he lavished the idea of scaring angels- of tormenting them. It was the only source of entertainment in his life. It was both his hobby and his job.
And his infatuation.
Yet-
He lost.
To a mere lesser angel.
At the moment, his first thought wasn't that- he was going to die. Rather- 'Shit's finally changing…'
After all this time-
After so damn long-
Finally-
As he submitted, the angel took him in as a pet.
Something he would have surely hated in the past.
Yet- now, he himself suggested that.
Why?
He had enough of being alone.
He just had enough.
"And what will you name him?" Asked the clergy.
Those guys in fancy robes were everywhere-
Everywhere!
Even the at the academy-
He didn't like them even a little.
"Joe."
'At least be a little more original?' he thought. His name was Johrain- the name his parents had given him. The same parents who'd abandoned him.
But didn't bother voicing his thoughts.
He was a crab. A furry crab that could change its shape and cast higher tier spells with ease-
But in the end, he was just a crab…
Yet-
'Well, at least I get a new name…'
***
Knock-
Knock-
"Come in-"
"You put that thing there!" Sarveisa stormed in.
Arnine cleared her throat- indicating Sarveisa to take her seat.
There was a guest present.
Before anything else, Sarveisa bowed on her knees. "My lady, it has been long."
Black hair, fancy black dress, red glimmering eyes-
A goddess.
A very old… goddess. Yet, not a trace of age on her skin.
As though- she was a perfect lady in her upper twenties.
"Ah- little Sar, how've you been?"
"Wonderful my lady."
"That's nice-" Her head turned back to the headmistress. "I will let you two catch up. I've got some duties to get to-"
"My lady, if you don't mind me asking-"
"Yes?"
"Those denizens. What are they doing there?"
The goddess paused.
Smiled. "Did you know that even some angels are capable of crime?"
She built this place-
She knew everything about this place.
"Wh-what?"
The goddess vanished.
"What'd she mean?" Sarveisa stared at the headmistress, taking a seat.
Angels were immortal beings.
Surely, at times, they made mistakes in their lives and odd views.
However-
Crime?
"For the most part angels are kind creatures. However, as you saw with Mihael- there are always those who lack empathy and may cause certain 'crimes'. Such was the fate of those who do."
"So, you're stating Mihael might become-"
So far, Mihael has constantly shown odd behavior. It wouldn't have been a stretch to say, his behavior wasn't considered very 'nice.'
"That is up to him. And as smart as he appeared to be, I'm sure he's already figured it out."
A mild sigh. "Mark my word headmistress-" A stare- no, a glare. "Anything happens to him- I will personally take it upon myself to destroy this place."
Chuckle- and she laughed really loud. "You? Really? You think you can do that? You do understand how much longer I've been living, correct? Besides, half of our staff are on vacation. All the other god candidates aren't even aware of this new one yet." A snort.
It only made Sarveisa clench her teeth tighter. "Try me." But she didn't back down even for a second…
Which did make the headmistress stare very disapprovingly but that's how far it went as Aren came in with tea for the two.
"Hmph!" She stormed out of the room…
Once outside- 'The fuck did I say that for!' The heat kind of got to her head and she said things she didn't particularly mean.
Besides, she knew her grandmother did have her interest in mind which was why she permitted her to escape with the kid just in case.
Face a bit flushed… 'But she could have at least been a little nicer…'
Yet-
Sigh. With her thoughts a little less rampant, she faked a smile and headed for the clergy's office.
Meanwhile-
'Oh, the rebellious phase!' A certain high angel was squealing with excitement. 'But again, for that brat…' And though she kept on squealing, her gaze gradually, sharpened… to a glare.
Sip-
She did sip the extra-strong black tea though…
