My body was on fire from the usage of so much energy and the stress building up for the physical tiredness I was suffering through.
The sudden duress I had put onto my core starting to bite my butt, but the adrenaline was doing more than enough to keep me from getting distracted by the searing pain steadily growing through my entire body.
The Lightsaber once owned by Freed blazed to life as I prepped it for its first lightshow under my ownership, ready and eager to get a killing blow accomplished and soon, once I had stabilized well above the distracted Fallen Angel, I dived down for the victory blow.
Maybe it was the wind, maybe it was instinct that got her to perceive me approaching, but by the time I was close enough to her, Raynare snapped her head right to look right where I was.
Violet eyes widening in terrified shock, she couldn't do anything as my blade came down upon her.
Something was cut, blood was spilled and… I was sent crashing toward the ground.
CRACK!
Pain surged within my now-throbbing right arm, the limb taking most of the punishment and… I felt some ribs broke too because of the impact.
I coughed some blood, failing to stand up as I looked back at where Raynare was.
The young woman had followed my same quick descent to the floor, slamming quite brutally on the unforgiving ground as she ended up getting cut by the pieces of rocks lingering.
We were both sporting minor cuts from this escalation and our breathing were labored at best.
There was no way we could have continued this… but we needed to. It was a matter of life and death now.
We waited some time, trying to see whom was going to get up and get the victory while also knowing that we weren't able to do so.
Too much pain and strain was going through our system and our bodies had gone beyond the limits we had.
A smiling Azazel landed right between us and raised his arms towards both.
"It would seem like this match has ended in… a draw!"
…
W-Wha the-
Thud
Before I could call BS on what had just happened, that my efforts were useless and that Raynare was going to live…
What an infuriating day!
I woke up some time later, surprisingly enough not in the church I had fallen unconscious to but someplace warmer and… softer.
My eyes snapped open suddenly as the pain finally broke me away from my quiet sleep and I found myself staring at the ceiling of the room, a familiar ceiling-
This was the ceiling of my room.
My eyes widened and slowly I started to look around, trying to not move my body too much as I was still sore and in pain.
H-How did I got there? Who brought me here-
My thoughts died down the moment I heard some pages of a book rustling quickly, as if someone was cheeking my-
I stared at Azazel, the man sighing in disappointment as he closed another book from my library and giving me an annoyed glance.
"You know, Hoitsu Sakakibara," The Governor-General muttered happily. "You are one of the most boring young men I had the opportunity to be around with."
He shook his head in shame. "Your parents aren't around most of the day, sometime even being away for the entire day, and what I find from your library is..."
"That you don't have a porn stash!"
I frowned in confusion as the man started to chuckle at his own words, my left eye twitching in annoyance at the attempt of his to find anything remotely connected to 'lewd stuff' in my room.
"But let us talk about something a little more… serious," Azazel resumed with a tired sigh, as he carefully sat on the bed, avoiding to crush my poor stretched legs.
"Your little fun fight, the one I caused out of boredom and immense fascination for the development your presence at the Church caused, brought up some interesting questions I now have about your current abilities and… your identity," He took in his hands my wallet and looked at the ID card here. "You see, I am fairly sure that you are a full-human, your parents are humans… and yet you can use Holy energy, pure one at that."
...was that so unique? I thought someone else would have-
"Oh? You don't even know why is it important?"
I flinched at the sudden interjection, almost caught off-guard by it.
"Your face is currently a window to your thoughts after getting this much beaten and coming to crash down on the cold floor of some ruined church. That was a fall of more than 10 meters," The man hummed quietly, then he stopped another search around the room to continue. "By the way, the worst of your wounds should be gone in a few hours from now. Your biology has quite the quick regenerative power-"
He stopped at my questioning wide eyes and smiled.
What was he talking about?
"Yep, you're quite different from what a normal human should be," The old man admitted with a nod. "The holy energy present in your body is slowly improving your entire being- nothing that could turn you in an Angel, mind you, there are too many differences between you and a pure-blooded Angel, but you still got some perks that some humans can't just reach on a normal basis."
Azazel sighed and patted my leg, getting a hiss of pain out of me.
"Jeez, that much sore?" He inquired curiously. "Well, I guess that could be caused by being that much suicidal."
I felt my features hardening as he gave me a strong and stern look, an unnatural sight to be bestowed by someone that was usually incredibly laid-back with people.
"That was stupid- no, even worse than that. You almost died."
Flinching at the cold words, I was still subjected to this unexpected lecture as I was quite sure that Azazel had never displayed this much sternness around someone. And the worst part that I was technically a 'nobody'.
