Genshin Impact: The Crit Archon

As Eula woke up from her sleep, she saw she was holding something as she saw who it was, it was her roommate Aether, as then thought ran to her mind what might have happened or what and Happend, didn't help that his head was between her chest, One scream later.

As Aether ans Eula were in jeans office, as Jean sighed, Kaeya was trying not to lap, as for Amber and Lisa will they were glaring death at Eula for making such on move on there Crush (Aether)

Jean just looked at Aether. "Not how I expect my job to start today".

Jean leaned back in her chair, trying to maintain her composure. "Eula, Aether, I believe we need to address this situation properly."

Eula, still flustered, tried to explain. "I-I'm terribly sorry, Jean. I didn't mean for this to happen. I just... must have grabbed him in my sleep."

Aether, equally embarrassed, rubbed the back of his neck. "It's really not Eula's fault. I should have been more careful. I... just didn't realize how I ended up like that."

Amber and Lisa exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of concern and jealousy. Amber finally spoke up, trying to ease the tension. "It's clear that it was just a misunderstanding. But, uh, we should probably move on from this."

Kaeya, struggling to keep a straight face, interjected. "Indeed. I'm sure this was just an unfortunate accident. How about we focus on more pressing matters?"

Jean nodded in agreement, trying to regain control of the meeting. "Aether, Eula, let's consider this resolved for now. We need to discuss our next steps. But, please, let's keep personal matters from interfering with our work."

Eula then looked at Aether. "But how did this happen".

As then Paimon came out of her pocket dimison. "Wil first Paimon saw Eula grabb Aether arm and then she plased him between her chest, then they started to move in Eula bed, they started to sweet Aether tryed to move but Eula didn't let him g-"

Paimon saw everyone as they had a red face, Eula was on floor holding her stomic, Aether was worried, Amber and Lisa wants to kill Eula and Aether, Kaeya was shocked but lapping and jean was nuke red, as Paimon relsihe what she was implying..

Paimon just looked at everyone. "No Paimon didn't mean they had Sex".

As she saw Aether braking a window jumping out and running for his life, as she followed him ready to say a lot of sorry

The room was filled with a tense silence after Paimon's unexpected explanation. Jean's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she struggled to maintain her composure. Amber and Lisa were fuming, their eyes locked on Eula and Aether with a mix of anger and disbelief. Kaeya, despite his best efforts, was now openly laughing at the absurdity of the situation, while Eula was on the floor, clutching her stomach, clearly mortified.

Jean cleared her throat, trying to salvage what was left of her professional demeanor. "Paimon, I believe you may have misinterpreted the situation. Let's try to avoid such... detailed descriptions in the future."

As Aether bolted out of the room, his face flushed with embarrassment, Paimon chased after him, calling out apologies. "Wait! Aether! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to—"

Aether, already halfway down the corridor, glanced back with a look of sheer panic. "Paimon, just... give me a minute!"

Paimon hurried to catch up with him, her tiny wings flapping rapidly. "I really didn't mean to cause all this trouble. I'll explain everything, just wait!"

Meanwhile, back in Jean's office, Amber and Lisa exchanged sympathetic glances with each other before turning their focus back to Eula, who was slowly regaining her composure. Kaeya, still chuckling, managed to speak through his laughter. "Well, that was certainly an interesting start to the day."

Jean, taking a deep breath, attempted to refocus the meeting. "Let's try to regroup. We have important matters to discuss regarding Mondstadt's security. I trust that we can handle this situation with the professionalism expected of us."

As the group started discussing their next steps, Eula remained on the floor, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment, while the chaos from the earlier mishap slowly began to settle.

Kaeya then looked at Jeans. "Also just to let you know, this kinda your fault Jean your the one who decides to put a boy and a girl in the snow room".

He ducked missing and Arrow from Amber and a lighting bolt from Lisa

Keaye looked at them. "Next time bring out your A game lady's".

Kaeya again ducked skillfully to avoid the incoming arrow from Amber and the lightning bolt from Lisa, who were clearly not pleased with his comments. He smirked, his usual carefree demeanor in full display.

Jean, who had recovered some of her composure, shot him a reproachful glance. "Kaeya, this isn't the time for jokes. We need to address the situation and make sure it doesn't escalate further."

Amber, frowning, added, "You can't just make light of this, Kaeya. Aether and Eula deserve better than this kind of teasing."

Lisa, still managing to look serious despite her amusement, chimed in. "Let's focus on resolving this and ensure that everyone understands the boundaries here. It's important that we handle these situations with sensitivity."

Kaeya, seeing the seriousness in their expressions, raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright. I'll be more careful with my words. Let's get back to business, shall we?"

Jean nodded, grateful for the change in tone. "Thank you. Now, let's discuss the next steps regarding Mondstadt's security and the Abyss Order."

As the meeting continued, the earlier awkwardness began to dissipate, and the group refocused on their important tasks ahead, leaving the morning's drama behind.

Meanwhile with Aether he was in a forest as Paimon looked at him.

Paimon just looked at Aether. "Sorry about that, Paimon didn't mean to are you ok"

Aether just looked at Paimon breathing heavily. "You almost got be killed".

Paimon floated next to Aether, her expression full of concern. "Paimon didn't mean to cause such a mess. I'm really sorry. Are you okay?"

Aether, catching his breath, looked at her with a mix of frustration and relief. "I'm fine, just a bit shaken up. It's not exactly what I expected to happen this morning."

Paimon hovered closer, her tone earnest. "Paimon understands. We should probably get back and explain things to everyone. They're probably still worried."

Aether nodded, his expression softening. "Yeah, I guess that's a good idea. Let's head back and sort this out."

Aether then saw something, a few slimes to be more clrer a hydro slime, Aether just sighee snd moved dodging the attack as he pulled out Albion and starste to cut the smiled each kill was easy, he then covers his sword with wind as cirted a few times as the slime jusy poped into water as then moved and jammed his fist into lightning them up with Fire mage craft, before using Lighting Mage craft to shock then, he jumped up in the air and cut a few more

As then Aether saw another it grows bigger as it did Aether was ready attack, but he heard something as it was purple blurry as it slammed it's claymore down and destroyed the smile as Aether saw who it was it was a teenager with light skin, long spiky grey hair, and red-eye. He wears a black and gray jacket with a gray hood has the bottom of the brown golden-belt, bottomless brown gold shirt, underneath has a white bandage, the little black orange glove one on the left gauze, The brown belt with the gold symbol, the green-long pants with one the left a light green scarf, and the gray-black boot has a sign on it.

Razor has the abilities of the wolf spirit with the spiky fur on the back, glowing eyes, sharp teeth, the tattoo only the left arm, and no legs.

Aether, having just dealt with the last of the slimes, lowered his sword and wiped the sweat from his brow. The sudden appearance of the mysterious teen had caught him off guard, but he was grateful for the assistance.

Razor, his spiky gray hair bristling slightly, eyed Aether with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Razor saw you fighting and thought you might need help. Are you okay?"

Aether nodded, sheathing Albion. "Thanks for the help. I'm fine, but these slimes seem to be causing trouble everywhere. What about you? Why are you out here?"

Razor, still in his distinctive stance with his claymore slung over his shoulder, shrugged. "Razor patrols the area. The slimes have been more aggressive lately. It's my job to keep the forest safe."

Paimon floated up, her curiosity piqued. "Hey, you're Razor, right? We've heard about you. You're the one who lives with the wolves, right?"

Razor nodded, his eyes glowing slightly. "Yes, Razor lives with the wolves. They are my family. If you're ever in trouble, you can call on Razor for help."

Aether, now more relaxed, extended a hand. "I'm Aether. Nice to meet you, Razor. I appreciate the assistance. Do you know if there's something causing these slimes to act up?"

Razor looked thoughtful for a moment before replying, "Razor is not sure. The forest is restless. There might be something stirring up trouble deeper in the woods."

Aether nodded, contemplating Razor's words. "Thanks for the tip. We'll keep an eye out. If you hear anything or need help, just let us know."

Razor gave a small nod of acknowledgement. "Razor will. Stay safe, Aether."

As Razor turned and disappeared into the trees, Aether and Paimon continued their journey back to Mondstadt, both reflecting on the unexpected encounter and what it might mean for the challenges ahead.

As Aether walker for a bit he noticed something, he saw claw mark that didn't seem like normal wolf's not just that it was clear they were bigger and much more dangerous.

Aether just looked at them. "Ok this is different".

Paimon just looked at the marks. "They seem like wolf mark, but they are way to big to be wolf mark"

Aether just looked at it. "Yeah what can it be"

As then he heard a growling noise, his instinct sarphent as then he was attack ans sent back, as he looked what it was they looked like wolf's but we're different the best way to deserving them will be Ominous, alien beasts with dull colors that travel in packs much as wolves do.

[ It looks like the Host has meet with a Rifthound ]

Aether just looked at System screen. "Ok what are these things?".

As Aether steadied himself and assessed the situation, the System responded:

[ **Rifthounds**: These creatures are corrupted beasts from another dimension. They have a distorted, alien appearance and are more dangerous than regular monsters. They travel in packs and are known for their enhanced strength and agility. Their claws and teeth are capable of inflicting severe damage. They are often found in areas where dimensional barriers are weak or damaged. ]

Aether glanced at the approaching Rifthounds, their eerie, dull colors and unsettling growls making it clear they were formidable opponents. He drew Albion, readying himself for the fight.

Paimon, floating nervously nearby, asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Aether took a deep breath, his mind racing. "We need to be careful. These things are tougher than regular monsters. I'll use my magic to create a barrier while we take them down."

He activated a defensive barrier, shimmering with a faint blue light, and prepared his spells. As the Rifthounds charged, he focused on their movements, ready to counter their attacks with precise strikes and elemental magic.

Aether swiftly began his assault, unleashing a series of elemental attacks. He combined wind and fire magecraft to create powerful bursts of energy, aiming to weaken the Rifthounds and drive them back. The creatures snarled and attacked ferociously, but Aether's barrier held firm, providing him with a critical edge.

Paimon, watching from a safe distance, hovered anxiously. "You've got this, Aether! Just keep it up!"

With focused determination, Aether continued to fight, each strike and spell carefully aimed to reduce the Rifthounds' numbers. Despite their resilience and aggression, the combination of Aether's skill and magic gradually turned the tide of the battle.

As Aether battled the Rifthounds, he focused on using his elemental magic efficiently. The Rifthounds were relentless, their alien forms darting around with unsettling speed. Aether's barrier flickered as he adjusted its strength to absorb their vicious attacks.

He summoned a swirling vortex of wind, pulling in several Rifthounds at once, and combined it with a burst of fire. The flames roared as they enveloped the trapped creatures, causing them to yelp in pain.

The Rifthounds retaliated, their sharp claws slashing at the barrier and each other. Aether responded by using lightning magecraft, sending bolts of electricity through the swirling mass of enemies. The sparks crackled and the Rifthounds convulsed, their movements growing erratic.

Despite his efforts, the Rifthounds' numbers seemed endless. Each time one fell, another would take its place, emerging from the shadows of the forest. Aether realized he needed a more decisive strategy. He switched to a combination of wind and water magic, creating a torrential downpour that drenched the battlefield.

The water intensified the lightning strikes, creating a storm of electric fury. The Rifthounds hissed and recoiled from the combined assault. Aether took advantage of their disorientation to launch a series of powerful slashes with Albion, cutting down several more.

Just when he thought he had gained the upper hand, a particularly large and imposing Rifthound emerged from the pack. Its fur was a deep, unsettling black, and its eyes glowed with an eerie intensity. It roared, shaking the ground and charging directly at Aether.

Aether braced himself and focused all his remaining magic into a single, concentrated attack. He channeled a massive burst of fire and lightning, aiming it directly at the giant Rifthound. The explosion of energy was immense, and the Rifthound was thrown back, its form dissipating into the air.

Breathing heavily, Aether surveyed the battlefield. The remaining Rifthounds hesitated, their numbers greatly diminished. The few that remained quickly retreated into the shadows of the forest.

Paimon floated over, looking relieved. "That was intense! Are you okay, Aether?"

Aether nodded, still catching his breath. "Yeah, I'm fine. Those Rifthounds were tougher than I expected. We should be careful; they might come back with reinforcements."

Paimon looked around at the damage. "What do we do now?"

Aether glanced at the claw marks and the remnants of the battle. "We need to figure out why these Rifthounds are here. This doesn't seem like a random encounter. There might be a rift or some disturbance in the area causing them to come through."

He started inspecting the ground for clues, while Paimon floated beside him, keeping watch. The forest was eerily quiet now, the sounds of the battle replaced by an unsettling stillness.

As Aether continued his search, he hoped that whatever had drawn the Rifthounds to this area would soon reveal itself.
