Michael's back to Work

"When I was worked to death he enjoyed till boredom so, I have no grief after relaxing till now,"

said Michael who was putting himself in the illusion that he was the luckiest man in the Heavens.

He already knew the horror he would experience when heaven will be filled to the brim, at least he thought he knew...

"Anyways, from today onwards I have to begin burning my blood to form sweat and tears, sigh... Goodbye to the good old days," commented Michael as he took out a long scroll-like list in his office in the academy,

The list was not numbered, it was a long one with many lines and Michael did not dare open the rest of them and just read the first one,

"If you want to avoid being worked to death then, raise helpers beforehand, " Michael decided to skip this to later and started to read the second one,

"If you ignore the first one... what can I say, Life is ruthless," Michael felt a bad omen and decided to finish the first task,

After all, this list was given to him by The God personally,

"So, how to do it?" Michael asked himself.

"Ah, let's visit God," Michael answered himself.

Michael's five pairs of wings opened and morphed into a single large pair of wings,

This much time was enough for Michael and Helel to master Wing manipulation, previously, they can only withdraw them back but now they can morph them too.

He then flew to God's temple but in a pretty slow manner.

As the academy was directly on the right side of the temple's entrance Michael just skipped over walls to get in,

He then saw a sight of delight... or horror,

There were twelve kids ranging from age of five to ten wrapped up in a white cloth covered with their wings and thrown on the floor of the temple.

They had all types of weird types of wings designs on the body and weird masks on their face.

The main color theme of their's was white matching the temple around them but there were also hints of different colors on them,

Like there was one full-body feathered child just like Empra who also had a large pair of wings coming out of his back.

His mask was like a tree bark covering his face, white in color and gold filling in gaps,

What gave Michael fear wasn't the condition of children that might kill them because of suffocation or their comfort,

It was their size,

"Why the heck are they so tiny, Oh God do you mean I have to raise them before reaping their advan- having their help..." exclaimed Michael.

At that moment, three beautiful angels came from within the temple and stood among the kids,

Two were serious male angels while the last one was a cheery charismatic female angel.

"Aren't they such beautiful and healthy little growing kids? Don't you think so too? Ever virtuous great archangel Michael," said the cheery one with enthusiasm.

Michael gave them a look then got back to his work then, the silent angel wearing a mask and white body armor with golden lining said,

"Oracle of God, Archangel Cassiel stands in front of True Archangel Michael, God's divine order for you is to pass the scroll to me and allow me to read it out for you."

Michael passed the scroll and Cassiel opened and read the third point while Michael followed it after understanding the order.

"Go to the third pillar from the right side corner of the temple and look towards the north,"

Michael followed,

"The names of the lesser archangels from the right to left are Sandalphone, Barachiel, Josphiel, Cassiel, Raziel, Remiel, Samael, and Merkabah respectively."

The other one was Sandalphone and the last one is Jophiel,

"Nine in total..." Michael muttered in melancholy and heard another line and that lessened his pain.

The next moment Cassiel started to speak his voice rang throughout the Heavens but rather than loud, it was quite soft and melodious.

"The Heavens shall praise the birth of nine lesser archangels!"

"True Archangels shall take care of the lesser archangels until they grow up and become capable to do their work,"

"Archangel Merkabah is entrusted to the True Archangel Michael,"

"Archangels Azrael and Samael are entrusted to the True Archangel Helel,"

"Archangel Raziel is entrusted to the True Archangel Uriel,"

"Archangel Barachiel is entrusted to Angel Empra,"

"Archangels Josphiel and Cassiel are entrusted to the True Archangel Gabriel,"

"Archangels Sandalphone is entrusted to the True archangel Raphael,"

Cassiel finished his declaration and the sleeping archangels woke up,

"Work divided, right?" Michael commented,

"But, Why the hell are Gabriel and Raphael required to babysit these grown-ups,"

That question earned him no answer as Josphiel and Sandalphone were long gone to see around the heavens and Cassiel was as silent as ever,

Michael inspected Cassiel, at first sight, he seemed some kind of jolly but now he seems kind of tight and serious,

Soon, Cassiel who was standing straight suddenly fell to the ground with blood hiccups,

A small shining orb of energy came out of his chest and flew inside the temple,

Michael seemed to be processing the event that just transpired,

Then, he with the help of his conscience decided to help the dead looking guy,

He moved forward to pick him up and do a good deed of the day,

"Hah, Finally, it came out," a voice was heard from the probable corpse.

However, what he said made Michael instinctively curl up in disgust,

Even, he doesn't know why, do you know?

Hah, but other than that, He missed a chance to do a good deed,

"It would have been better if you had died," Michael said those ruthless words unknowingly, almost killing Cassiel from heart attack and embarrassment.

"Don't be so cruel your highness, Blame god if you wa-"

*What happened later is heavily censored*

"May I know the whole story," said Michael wiping blood from his hand after a tiresome but necessary exercise.

Sandalphone who came back to check up on Cassiel knew the wrath of one of the two giants of the heavens.
