"Huh." Darius looked down at himself to see that he was still wearing his clothes and that Soma's clothes were actually on the ground, completely puked on. "Oops?" He must've pucked on his clothes after drinking too much because Soma did want to know how much alcohol was needed to make him go drunk, which was about 20 bottles of his strongest alcohol! His fingers twitched a little as he tried to get up, letting Soma fall back into the bed- He stretched his body first, opening and closing his fists and clenching them, to make sure they were also woken up. "...food." Food sounds great right about now. Walking downstairs, he pumped into this tiny guy who looked up at him as he went past- Darius stopped when a hand grasped and pulled something from behind him while a voice sounded out: "Hey ye, watch where yer goin'!" Darius' body reacted instantly, he twisted around and kicked the guy who had pulled his tail, throwing him through the wall and out in the open street, away from the Soma's Familia home! "Oh shit." Darius finally woke up with that, groaning loudly as went to take a look and see if the guy was awake or alive, and hey, he is alive! Sure, he is close to dying, but who told him to just grab his tail!? Wait- tail? "Since when...?" To be fair, he doesn't know if he had a tail all along- He might have had one! Who knows? He certainly didn't. "Hey, you good?" The only answer he got was the groaning and gurgling of the guy, so Darius rolled his eyes and used [Mimicry] to imitate that pale blue powder that butterfly used on other monsters to try and heal them and watched as the damage on the guy's body healed slowly, so he just got up, shrugged and said: "Well, don't pull my tail again, or I might kick you to death again." He did leave after that, seeing that the guy wouldn't die anymore and had his legs in a state where he could walk at least. Going back to the house through the holes that were made by the small guy's body, Darius ignored the small crowd of fellow Familia members as he turned to look at God Souma, who came walking downstairs. "Oh, Souma!" Smiling, Darius raised his hands above his head with a large grin- He thought about the giant monster crystal and thought if it was still there, but he made to move to go and see if it was there. Souma was wearing other clothes from the last time, this time his clothes looked a little worn out... In fact, everything around looked worn out or old. "Huh, how though..." He decided to ask his God! "Hey, Soma! Why is everything so badly kept around here? Isn't our Familia a big one? Why is no one working to keep it in good condition?" His words must've made the God wake up from his stupor because he looked around until his eyes set on a guy, this guy had this weird bad vibe around him that Darius recognized as a 'Scheming Bitch' aura, his least favorite type of person to deal with... "Zanis." Souma called: "Explain yourself." "God Souma, I've told you, we used that money to pay our debt with the Freya Familia after we-" "Lie." Darius quickly said- he easily heard the skip in the guy's heartbeat! "His heart skipped a beat, therefore he lied- It's very cool to know that, it's something Fanalis can do, which is fucking awesome." Soma had asked him what he was because in his many years as a God he had never seen something like him before, which had Darius explaining he was a Fanalis, a being that could be easily described as a Monster in Human skin! "W-what!? Preposterous!" Darius just rolled his eyes at the guy's words after being exposed as a liar- He just had to be a better liar and not be caught, but regardless, Darius saw his opportunity and took it immediately! "You're the Captain of this Familia?" "I am Zanis Lustra, the Grandharva, and I am the captain of this Familia therefore you will respect my words-" "Nah." Without giving warning, he grabbed the guy by the throat and lifted him off of the ground easily, saying loudly to everyone in the house: "Listen up fuckers! I am Darius Adonis, and from now on I'm the captain of the Familia, if you have any disagreement or question, you can ask, just know that I may or may not kick you." Throwing the guy away, Darius patted Soma's head and ruffled his hair a little before going toward the kitchen, saying: "Go get any gear you have, we're going to the Dungeon to train all of you, if you have any problem with that you might as well quit right now because if I see someone slacking Imma beat the shit out of you!" The food he got was bland bread and water, which made him even more annoyed- "Hey fucker-" One of the men tried to approach him but he kicked the guy, this time holding back a little for the guy's sake: "First rule, you may refer to me as Captain and Captain only, the only one here that can say my name is Soma or those I decide are strong enough to call me by my name, which none of you fuckers are- Get your fucking gear, we're going to the Dungeon! Do you all want to go with broken bones!?" Silence was all the answer he got for about 4 seconds before everyone went to get their gears, the smell of fear in the air- "Sorry Soma, I'll leave someone behind to keep you safe while I go train these fuckers and get them in shape... This Familia is going to become a menace in this city, I guarantee you that!" Darius grinned as he punched his open palm before going outside, grabbing the guy he kicked earlier, and throwing him before Soma, saying: "He's gonna stay with you while you work on the Familia's finances because I am 100% fucking sure that shady Zanis guy has been stealing money, he smelled like shady bitch." "Sure Darius-kun, but when you're all back, we're going to have to drink again!" Soma grinned with open teeth: "After all, developing resistance to poison is not easy, right?" Darius grinned back- Oh, they understand each other! Time to make worth out of these weak little fuckers. -Scene Cut- "C'mon, maggots! I wanna see you all kill at least five monsters each!" Darius sat down on the ground by the entrance and exit of the dungeon, he had the majority of the Soma Familia here in their gear, and everyone had their weapons and armor ready! The group of four people he met when he first came into this world was an inner group of the Souma Famalia named 'The Troubles', which was a cute name. The bunny guy was named Silverly, the Dwarf was named Ughundir, the Elf guy was named Ajax, and the only female in the group was this small little girl that was from a race called Pallum and her name was Angel. "I want, individually, all of you to kill 5 monsters each before you're allowed to go out, do you understand me?" Ajax weakly raised his hand, making Darius look at him: "U-uhm, Captain? I am a weak Mage, I don't think I have enough Mind to use that many spells, and my magic isn't that strong..." Darius simply rolled his eyes before he asked: "What type of magic do you use?" "Uhm, Water Magic!" "Have you thought about using it differently? Condense the water, make it into needles of water, and shoot it at high speeds. Lethal and easy to use right?" Ajax looked bashful at him and said: "But, Captain, I can't modify my spells!" "Then don't use spells, duh." Darius rolled his eyes, but seeing the disbelief on the guy's face, he pointed his finger towards a lone goblin and flames gathered in the tip of his fingers before a small, needle-like projectile of flames hit the goblin's head and it soon faded away into nothing, leaving behind the crystal it had inside: "See?" Ajax just looked at him with this look of awe on his face and Darius knew what he had to do; Teach.
