The girl blinked and glanced towards her temporary caretakers and nodded slowly, a little mischievous smile appearing in her face.
"I will try."
I patted her head again and picked my bag. "I will see you all in four days then."
I held my free hand up to wave as I walked out of the door and I was greeted by the three waving back.
Closing the door behind me I started to make my way to the precise alley that Baraqiel had told me to walk into and, much to my silent surprise, the stroll was surprisingly shorter than I had expected it to be, mostly because the place was fairly close to where home was.
I paused for just a moment before venturing towards what seemed to be a dead end, quickly putting on my disguise as Hekishoku on before going through with the final steps of the instructions that the Fallen Angel had given me.
It's been a while since I've donned both mask and clothes, the pieces having been cleaned properly once I had returned back to Kuoh before having those hidden well away from unneeded eyes.
Feeling ready to finally go forward after having just put the changed clothes that had been inside my tactical bag, I proceeded to walk towards the frontal door that led to the closed alley and… I waited for something to happen.
There was some silence, no one visible nor perceivable by my own magic, but I still continued to look around… only to find nothing particular that could fit with anything magical or-
Wait.
There was a strange 'warmth' coming from the wall in front of me, and I my open palm on it as I studied the strange sensation. Could it be a seal?
Deciding to test the authenticity of my theory, I started to push some energy onto the construct, and soon a glowing seal appeared from it. Dark-blue energy emerged from it and soon a beam shoot from it and covered my full body, coating me in light as… I felt shifting away from that place.
I lost my footing almost instantly, tripping immediately in the warm wood of the floor.
Groaning, I got up and the first thing I noticed was that I was now in… a flat?
The structure reminded me of one of those modern-style buildings that are usually built in some of the richer areas of the major cities, with a focus on making the place fairly massive for people to have.
There was a fireplace in the room, which I was pretty sure was the living room considering the couches and the large TV just above the fireplace.
I lost a couple of moments to properly look around the area, to get accustomed to what was supposed to be my temporary home for the rest of the half-week and…
"Ah!"
I blinked in a moment of immediate panic, feeling some sudden pressure forming from above and rushing down towards me.
I rolled away instinctively, turning to look what was going on but I tensed up as I saw a strangely-clothed man slamming some big axe on the position I had previously stood by.
He was wearing what oddly resembled a Kamen Rider's villain outfit, the childish nature of what seemed to be a silly enemy's appearance was undermined by the presence of a very dangerous axe in his hold and the strange aura emerging from him.
"You dodged my mighty strike, young recruit," The man replied with a boisterous tone, fitting well with the nature of his costume. "And I admit that you are proving to be as strong as Baraqiel-san mentioned you being."
What the fuck is going on?!
I ducked down as he suddenly took a swing with his battle-axe, missing me barely- but his follow-up kick didn't.
"But you are far from reaching the heights of mine!"
Grunting at the pain, I was pushed away for a few meters and he resumed his advance with even more vigor, prompting me to roll away the moment I managed to regain my footing.
I backed away the furthest possible, my mind scrambling to understand what was happening in that very moment and… I was forced to endure another laugh from the bastard.
"Already backing down, young man? Is this the limits of Hekishoku?"
...Every part of me wanted to pummel this douche down, a mix of my childish self and my more logical and dominant side urging together to smack the heck out of this prick.
So I started with something simple, by rushing numerous Silver Lining at his position.
Numerous strings of glowing white tried to swiftly reach the giddy opponent, the man having an eased posture as he waited patiently for those to arrive…
Only for the spell to collapse before it could have even gone to graze him.
With my eyes going wide open at the development, my means to think properly were hindered by the fact that the battle-axe maniac was once more going for a close fight.
I moved quickly, dodging the first attacks and running away from the next ones as the overly-giddy bastard wasn't sparing any of his insanity while continuing with his assault.
"Show me more, boy," The costumed prick incited with more energy. "I want to see your full potential. Don't bore me by-"
Before he had the chance of conclude that sentence, with his axe already arched behind his back and ready to strike again, I reached for the Lightsaber and suddenly activated it as the weapon started to rush back towards me.
Surprise seemed to entertain my foe's mind as my Light-based sword slammed his own blade away, leaving him unarmed and open for some retaliation.
I adjusted the sword and plunged it forward, aiming at his shoulder, ready to finally return some favor for what he had done up until now.
Yet it was about a couple of moments before coming to impact against the bastard that I noticed the blade starting to flicker a little, the energy input starting to lessen instantly and…
The sword deactivated before it could hit him, sparking another quick chuckle from him- which was promptly silenced as my tight fist slammed in his ugly mug.
