Chapter 98 97. Strange Thoughts (2).

"Okay then, continue." I said and walked towards Violet and Jiwoo to check on them.

'Isha will think that I intentionally slammed the door behind me, knowing her.... knowing her 'for a month,' I think she would be sad, I have talk to her calmly, so that we can be together.....'

"F**k, I seriously like her, don't I? I am obsessed about being with her!" I mumbled out involuntarily.

'Is it like that? Where your partner keeps a secret from you for your own good..... Or, to keep you from getting hurt?'

'Is she doing that because she doesn't want me to get hurt? ..... Why would I get hurt? I think, I only think logically (?)'

'The more I think about it, the more it hurts..... I have to calm down first, I'll return to her after this and ask her if she wants to talk about it and ask for an answer if she can answer or wants to answer.....'

'I have ask calmly so that neither me nor Isha will get hurt in the process.....'

"It still hurts a bit, goddammit!" I mumbled.

WHOOSH

I leaned to the left to avoid the attack from behind, took a step forward, and elbowed the fist that attempted to strike me.

BAM

CRACK

"Uck!" I heard a groan from behind. I turned to face the figure who was attempting to punch me and discovered the devil who was residing in his host, Vinny.

The devil is 'The Prince' Vassago, also known as Usagoo. He is the third demon of the 'Lesser Key of Solomon.' He is a prince 'of a good nature,' and as a prince 'of a good nature,' he rules twenty-six legions of spirits and is summoned to tell magicians about past and future events, as well as to find lost objects. He is one of the few spirits found in the Lesser Key of Solomon.

He is also mentioned in many books, appearing as an angel who is 'just and true in all his doings,' with the powers of inciting women's love and revealing hidden treasures, as well as ruling twenty spirits.

'He finds Vinny's soul when it is too broken and in too much pain to 'help' the poor soul because he is a 'good natured' 'demon' but is still a 'demon' nonetheless, I created him so that he would take over Vinny's body to help him 'never suffer again'... I looked into it and discovered Vassago while creating a demonic character, and I changed him to suit my tastes and content....'

'Vassago puts Vinny into a deep slumber from which he will never be able to awaken, just to keep his host safe... While creating a new character, I needed a 'kind' and a 'demonic' part, and.... Voilà, Vassago was born!'

'His character, influenced by Vinny's emotions, transforms into a demonic one, who wishes to swap places with Vinny in order to 'help' him and keep him 'safe'...'

"..... What're you doing?" I asked in a cold voice, because I had too many things on my mind that I needed to sort out and I 'definitely' did not want to be distributed.

".... Don't bother me do your thing...." I mumbled and walked forward.

'Whether she is sad or angry, I'll have to be the first to speak up, so I have to choose my words carefully... Isha is the type who would keep complicated emotions to herself so that the other person would not be hurt.... So, I'll start by saying, 'Please, take your time, but please answer my questions.' Yes, that would be grea....'

"Oi!" Vassogo's voice was heard in a whisper, just next to my right ear.

"Ffffuuuuu" I halted in my steps and bit my lower lip in irritation before breathing out to calm down.

".... What do you want?" I asked without turning around.

"How dare you ignore me?" Vassago roared.

I raised my right arm up to his eye level, parted my index and thumb finger by a centimetre distance between them.

"This much...." I replied and stood there.

'After taking her time for a while, she will start talking then I'll have to listen what she has to say calmly....' I thought in daze.

"Y-you basta*d!!" Vassago suddenly roared in outrage.

My mind was racing with ideas for what I would say, what questions I would ask, how I should console Isha, and how to clear up any misunderstandings.... If there were any, I was carefully analysing how our future conversation would take place and how I should be careful not to hurt Isha in the process, and while all of these thoughts were cruising through my mind, I stood in a daze, blankly.

BAM

He bashed into my right waist with full force; his attack was too fast for me to completely avoid, so I was struck with a perfect blow. I spun to the right to reduce the damage, and after a 270-degree turn, I faced Vassogo, who was glaring at me in fury.

I simply extended my right arm forward to slap him while spinning, but he sidestepped, dodged my incoming hand, and punched me in the gut.

BAM

"Uck." I groaned and jumped a bit before flying back from the impact.

BOOM

I collided with the wall of the training chamber and slumped down, feeling something sting my thighs and palms. When I looked down, I saw shattered blue glass pieces.

"... Who broke the academy's property?" I mumbled while looking down at my bleeding palm with sharp glass pieces piercing it.

THUMP (4x)

BAM

I felt a strong force hit me in the head, I flew to my left by a bit.

BAM

BAM (2x)

He hit my chin, my body rose up to the air before I got jabbed straight in face.

BAM (4x)

He was relentlessly jabbing at my head while hitting and kicking my body like a punching bag, and I spat out blood involuntarily as I felt something irony in my mouth that I despised the taste of. I was getting stings all over my body, which were gradually turning into irritation.

BAM

He hooked my chin with a right hook while I was, somehow, still in the air, and I spun 4-5 times before collapsing like a wet rag.

THUMP

I hit my head to the ground, the cold floor and my slightly lukewarm blood snapped me out of my reverie.

"Huh?"
