Today is my break day.
Break as in my math and geography exams broke my brain.
Scaramouche's POV
"That sword of his is strong enough?"
"As far as I can tell, it is, and I have seen my fair share of swords in my life."
If she says so.
There is this other thing though...
"Old monster?"
"If not, what am I supposed to call him?"
"He lost his gnosis, you know."
"I'm aware. I'm also aware that he didn't have a gnosis during the archon war. War with Morax spells disaster, especially since Barbatos is likely to get involved in it as well."
Should that make it worse?
"What kind of expression are you making?"
"Disbelief."
"You don't think Morax would be a bad enemy to make?"
"Oh, I believe you on his part, but Barbatos?"
"That crazy bastard is even worse. You can negotiate with Morax, with Barbatos your only choice is to fight to the death."
Really?
The guy who got his gnosis stolen by Signora?
"Don't give me that look. He didn't become one of the seven because he is good at playing the lyre. Though, in a way, he did."
Still...
He has become a lot weaker since she had last seen him.
"Never mind that now, I really don't have time for this. Kazuha, if you want to do something like that again, use your own sword and-"
Her voice cut off as she looked down at her hand. It was fading, getting more see-through by the second.
"Kid, if you ever meet Ei, make sure to-"
She disappeared completely.
You can't be serious!
Not just me, even Kazuha was looking at the place where she had been standing in utter disbelief.
"Was that on purpose?" He asked after a while.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
Speaking a bunch of useless nonsense before pulling the disappearing act.
But...
"It shouldn't have been."
At least I hope it wasn't.
"I should get going-"
"No." I cut him off.
"What no?"
"You are staying here until your elemental energy is back to normal."
I'm definitely not going to let him out of here before he recovers.
"You have no say in-"
His sentence was cut off as ropes of electro surrounded him.
"What the hell?!"
"You will be able to undo them once you recover enough."
And with that, I left him alone.
Now...
Where did Morax say it was?
Down the hall and twice to the left...
Ah, here it is!
Kazuha's POV
That damn bastard!
Who gave him the right to tell me whether I can leave or not?
But, he isn't exactly wrong. My elemental energy is indeed a bit of a mess.
Though...
He did underestimate me quite a bit.
The electro restrictions shattered within mere seconds.
"I recover a lot faster than you think, Kuni."
Now, where did he go?
He is still in the house, I'm sure of that much. Otherwise, I might have thrown up again.
Down the hall...
Left...
And another left...
The closer I got the hotter it became.
Just what is he doing?
I finally caught sight of the door that I was looking for, but the moment I reached to open it-
Ugh!
It felt as if I had been struck by lightning.
I stumbled backward, barely able to stand.
As I was about to fall...
"What are you doing here, you crazy bastard? Do you not care about your own health?!"
He caught me before I could fall to the ground.
"You really are insufferable."
Next thing I knew, the world turned upside down and I was-
"What the hell?!"
Without another word, he threw me over his shoulder like a sac of potatoes and started walking in the way I came from.
"Put me down-"
"Shut up and behave yourself."
B-behave myself?
This again?!
"I'm not a kid!"
"I'm over 500 years old, I have every right to treat you like a kid if you behave like one." He retorted angrily.
Over 500?
Now that I think about it, he did mention something about not being human.
But still...
Over 500 years old?
This guy?
Isn't he a bit too impulsive for someone that old?
Aside from that...
Dangling over his shoulder like this, my eyes caught sight of a little detail I didn't before.
"Is this a birthmark or a tattoo?"
Something like this...
I feel like I have seen it somewhere before.
After I spoke those words, I was thrown off almost instantly without any mercy.
"Ugh!"
"Don't bring that up. Never again."
His words were laced with deep killing intent, through and through.
Did I touch a nerve?
I think the pain in my back is enough to prove so.
"Mention it one more time and I swear I'll end your life, gnosis or not."
He went back to the room before slamming the door shut behind himself.
BANG!
I really did touch a nerve, huh?
And a bad one at that.
It's been a while since I have seen him this aggressive.
But...
Where have I seen that mark before?
