The atmosphere seemed to start getting thick and unpleasant.
"Let's take this outside, and I don't want to mess up Sorin's home. You want to fight me. So let's settle this, and if I win, you leave him alone." Azrael is in the doorway with 6-7 kids standing in front of him. The group huddled together to intermediate, but it had no effect on Azrael.
"Ya, we came for you. But what happens when we win? I thought you and Sorin should be our errand boys, and you give us everything you own hows that?" The leader of the groups of kids scoffed a bit at Azrael.
The kids in the group that occupied the leader back him up with murmurs and yes's.
"Fine, it's settled, but before we start this fight. I am going to introduce myself, my name is Azrael Raven, and I am 12." Azrael started to step outside, pushing through the crowd in front of the door.
"Well, since you are introducing yourself, I guess I should too; my name is Fenra Neth since you got to know the name of the person whose errands you are going to run," he smirked at his comment.
Everyone started moving to an open field for the fight amongst the kid. The bullies against Azrael. That was the situation that Azrael was in, but Sorin didn't want it that way. No, he wanted to help Azrael, even knowing that Azrael could take them out on his own.
"*How can I help? I haven't learned how to fight well, but can I overcome my fear and fight the bullies? Searching his thoughts, he remembered, The alchemy pill he made!*" He thought to himself, trying to figure out a way to be helpful.
"Azrael! Wait! I want to help, but I don't think you need me to fight with you as I might be a hindrance…."
Azrael Interrupted, saying, "Sorin, you won't be a hindrance; it's just I don't want you to get hurt by them."
"Yes, I know, but I want you to at least take the pill I made before fidgeting. I think it might help, even tho I don't think you need it" he looked sighed on think about how bad it was going to be for the kids.
Azrael took the pill and looked at it; he then decided just to take it in 1 gulp swallowing the pill.
He waited a few seconds, and then he had a pulsating feeling in his body. His muscles that were lost from the liquid medicine started feeling hardened. The muscles began to feel warm, and Azrael had this feeling in his body that just gave him extra strength and more control over his body.
"Whoa! What's this pill? It makes me feel so strong!" Azrael moved a little bit, stretching and feeling out his body. "Thanks for the pill; it really is amazing" Azrael praised Sorin for his abilities. Not only did he make a medicine that helped loosen Azrael's body, Spring created a pill that made his body feel more energetic and muscles tenser but stronger.
Azrael was now at his peak, there was nobody soreness, and not even a single ache surfaced. He finished his stretching and gestured to Sorin, "Stay a bit back; I think they might attack you if you are too close."
Sorin nodded and moved back. He kept a far distance, but not too far that he could not see the fight. Sorin, just before the fight started, shouted, "Good luck, and be careful!"
Azrael smiled, "sure, no worries, not like I would lose!". He lifted up his arm to flex his biceps and put his free hand on it, tapping it to show his muscle.
"*I meant, good luck so that you don't hurt them too much. Oh, Gods, please, I hope nothing goes wrong, and the fight ends soon*" Sorin with his hands together.
"*Ya, he's going to need all the luck he can get. He's definitely not getting out of here unhurt! I will make sure of that*" He took out a knife while others took out other kinds of weapons like bats and rocks and scissors even. Everyone had made it into a gangster fight, and the bullies were ready to play dirty.
"So you guys are going to use weapons? That's unfair. Well, I don't have anything that can't hurt you, so I will just go bare-handed." Azrael lifted up his hands in preparation.
Fenra shouted, "Let's GET HIM!!"
Everyone in the group surrounded Azrael and attacked. Azrael dodged and moved out the way and tried to keep a distance. But every time he moved away, they surrounded him.
"You coward, I thought you said we were going to fight. But now you are just running away like a little baby." Fenra mocked Azrael. Fenra was annoyed; Azrael was not fighting back; instead, he dodged and did not engage in combat.
"So what? I will beat you in the end. Does it really matter how I do it?" Azrael replied.
"Didn't someone teach you how to fight? YOu fight by attacking, not dodging. Losers and cowards dodge only real men adn fighters who are confident in their attack head-on. So does that mean you are not confident in your own ability?" Fenra was getting more and more furious. His irritation had laid on his face bare.
"Pffft- Who told you that? True, if I am powerful enough, I could just attack you, but I am working smart, not just hard. You don't even use your head, do you? Also, if you are 'confident in your strength, then why do you have your minions here." Azrael intentionally tried to spite Fenra.
Fenra ran to azrael to attack, but as usual, Azrael dodged, but what was not expected was when Azrael spun and hit him on the back of the head, just like the first time they fought.
Fenra, unable to react to dodge, got hit, "ugh, just…... what happened? I thought we were….." the last bit "*... overpowering him?*" Fenra fell to the ground, and for a small moment, every watched and didn't budge as they saw there leader fall. Not knowing what to do, they all stood still.
"Come on? It's only one guy; there are many more of you still." Azrael interrupted their stillness with spite.
They start whispering amongst themselves for a short moment, then shout abruptly and try to attack Azrael at once.
"We are going to make you pay for hitting Fenra!" someone amongst the bunch shouted. "Ya!" they all replied together.
As of that, everyone had thought that this was the end of the fight. IT had been the end indeed but for the group that attacked. Azrael moved faster than what their eyes could pick up—knocking them all out.
All the kids dropped like flies on the ground, unconscious and unhurt. Azrael moved swiftly, not even breaking a sweat during the fight with the other kids.
Azrael turned towards Sorin and took a slow stroll, "That was too easy. Well, at least now they will never bully you again." Azrael's voice was calm and soothing. He was sincere about his remark towards Sorin.
Sorin had this warm feeling build up in his chest. He did not know what it was but, he was definitely happy that Azrael was safe and defeated those guys.
"Thank you so much," Sorin said to Azrael.
Azrael walked up and patted Sorin on the head, "Sure, it was nothing really. You are a good kid, so I couldn't watch you get bullied. I dislike people who bully the weak."
Azrael smiled.
The time had come when Azrael had to leave had come. The days that he had with Sorin came to an end before he could even realize it.
"Wow, you're here. I thought you might have taken longer, but it seems you're on time to come and settle things. I got into a fight with the kids here just a little bit, but it was because they wanted to bully my new friend Sorin. So it's not my fault, I swear. Also, I think Sorin is a great person besides being a demon which those rude and ungrateful kids were picking on."
