Completely lost on what had just happened, Saji remained motionless on the floor looking at the ceiling, until Micael appeared in his field of vision.
With a slight smile on his face and his hands on his hips, Micael looked down at Saji lying on the ground, speaking calmly to him.
"Trying to take me down out of nowhere, huh, that was a bit of a dirty move, but considering it's you, I'm not too surprised."
With the words spoken in a relaxed tone, he nonchalantly looked at the boy lying on the ground as he continued.
"So? Shall we continue or have you already given up?"
With those words said, Saji slowly stood up while Micael took a few steps back.
Looking blankly at Micael who was smiling relaxedly, Saji had already regained the direction of his thoughts.
'I have no idea what happened, but I'm sure he did something, but that's okay, I just have to pay more attention and not let it happen again.'
Preparing to attack again, Saji adopted a fighting pose in the course of his thoughts.
In response to Saji's actions, Micael adopted his own stance, still smiling in a relaxed manner.
Then, without waiting for a signal or giving any warning, Saji charged forward.
Reaching Micael in an instant, he grabbed his arm while moving one leg, intending to knock him down with a simple throw.
But what happened next made his eyes widen a little, because somehow, Micael's arm didn't stay in his grip, practically slipping between his fingers.
And as he processed this, he felt a great force pass through his feet all at once, causing him to fall sideways onto the ground.
Thud—
Feeling the ground beneath him, Saji wondered how this had happened again, even though he was paying attention, he was the one who was knocked down in the end.
From the corner of his eye he noticed Micael's approach, turning his face and looking at him, he saw how he adopted that relaxed posture again with his hands on his hips while asking with a smile.
"So, do you want to continue?"
Upon hearing this question, asked in the same relaxed tone as the previous one, Saji felt a wave of irritation wash over him, a vein dilating on his forehead, but quickly calming down, he stood up with a push, immediately adopting a fighting pose.
"I don't know what trick you used, but it won't work a third time."
He spoke in a direct tone, his brow furrowed as proof of his seriousness.
Micael's reaction to his words was just to adopt a fighting pose and let out a brief, relaxed laugh when he responded.
"Hahaha~, alright."
Without waiting for anything else, Saji advanced in an instant.
Once again reaching Micael, he moved his hands to grab him, this time grabbing both of his forearms.
Instead of trying to unbalance him, he intended to use his strength to practically throw him to the ground, of course, he wouldn't use all his strength because despite being a little angry, he was still calm enough not to reveal superhuman physical capabilities.
Then, with the veins in his neck bulging as he clenched his teeth and widened his eyes comically, he turned around while pulling on Micael's arms.
With his arms already halfway to throwing Micael, he felt that sensation again, as if his forearms simply slipped out of his hands as they slid quickly between them.
But this time already prepared for it, Saji was on guard awaiting the subsequent attack, and soon he could feel it, one hand landing on his shoulder while the other pushed one of his feet.
This time, instead of being swayed by surprise and not reacting properly, he used his superhuman reflexes and repositioned his foot back onto the ground.
Or at least he tried, before his foot touched the ground he felt his foot being pushed hard again, and taken by surprise, he couldn't react when the hand on his shoulder pushed him away.
Being practically thrown to the ground, Saji fell with a dumb expression on his face, before touching the ground he ended up using his arms to block the impact, he then stood there, staring at the ground for a moment.
Turning his head slowly and looking at Micael, he saw him in that same damn pose, with his hands on his hips and a relaxed smile on his face, and as if he was waiting for him to look, Micael said nonchalantly.
"What's wrong, Saji? You need to put some meat on those bones, my friend, you're falling very easily, it looks like you haven't eaten anything, are you out of strength?"
Feeling his blood pressure rise, Saji clenched his jaw tightly as a vein bulged on his forehead.
Normally he wouldn't be easily provoked like this, but given the situation, especially considering he was literally superhuman in terms of strength, this provocation only served to highlight his inability to win even with advantages.
Rising from the ground while taking a deep breath to calm himself, he exhaled sharply, speaking with a clearly fake smile, if the pulsing vein on his forehead was any indicator.
"I'm fine, let's continue."
Removing his hands from his waist and adopting a fighting pose, Micael responded jovially.
"But of course, my friend, ready when you are, hahaha~"
With yet another dilated vein appearing on his forehead thanks to the other's tone of voice, Saji advanced, completely focused on finally achieving victory.
But the scenario that followed was the same.
Thud—
Being once again knocked down, he abruptly stood up and once again charged forward, saying.
"Again!"
Thud—
But, as before, the same scenario repeated itself.
"Again!"
Lenving and advancing again, Saji continued to attack him tirelessly, he was not willing to give up.
Thud—
Thud—
Thud—
Although...
Thud—
Thud—
Thud—
He soon discovered, to his growing frustration and rising blood pressure, that no matter what he did, it was completely useless.
Thud—
Thud—
Thud—
After seconds that seemed like an eternity, Saji didn't get up anymore, he lay there looking at the ceiling with a blank stare, his chest heaving loudly as he took deep breaths.
Raising his torso abruptly, the veins on his neck popped out and his eyes widened as he asked loudly.
"What the fuck is at!!! How do you keep doing this?!"
He looked intensely with his wide eyes at Micael who just adopted the same usual pose, smiling carefree and without looking tired at all, then laughing he spoke.
"Hahaha~, You still haven't noticed, have you?"
"I didn't realize what?!"
He asked and half exclaimed back in an irritated tone.
With the carefree smile still on his face, Micael spoke calmly.
"That I already know that you are no longer a human Saji."
With his irritation deflating like a balloon and being replaced by shock, Saji can only stare blankly at the smiling Micael as he utters the only possible response.
"...Huh!?"
Crossing his arms, Micael answered the unasked question.
"Yes, I already know that you are no longer human, to be more precise, I know that you are a devil, and I also know what you were trying to do, it was a very dirty trick, but coming from you it doesn't surprise me very."
Still sitting on the floor and looking at him in shock, Saji questioned him back.
"How did you find that out?!"
Raising an eyebrow, Micael asked him.
"What? Your dirty plan?"
"No, no, not that!", Standing up, Saji continued, pointing at him with an exaggerated expression while blatantly ignoring that he had been discovered, "How did you find out I'm a devil!?"
Micael spoke with a shrug.
"Well, you can say I'm special, just like you."
With his eyes widening even more at this response, Saji could only say the same thing again.
"Huh!?"
"Haha.", With a brief laugh, Micael uncrossed his arms and approached Saji calmly, reaching the apparently shocked boy, patting him on the shoulder as he said, "Now now, there's no need for this forced acting, you can't fool me, Saji."
With those words being spoken, as if by magic, Saji's shocked expression disappeared from his face, now contorting as he tried but failed to remain calm.
With a bead of sweat running down his temple, he spoke with the calmest, most clueless expression he could muster.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
With the hand that was on his shoulder patting him more, Micael laughed lightly in a relaxed manner as he said.
"haha~ It's okay my friend, there's no need to be tense."
However, his words had no calming effect, instead, believing one hundred percent that there was something wrong, Saji asked back with a fake laugh and a forced smile appearing on his face.
"Ha-haha, okay then, let's forget about that, how about you explain to me exactly what you know, the supernatural stuff and everything, how about that?"
He spoke in a clearly tense manner, the bead of sweat on his forehead going down to his chin and one hand patting the hand that was on his shoulder in a placating manner.
"We can talk about this later, now how about we do some...special training?"
Saying these words with a strangely cheerful smile, Micael asked him with widening eyes, the grip of his hand on his shoulder tightening.
Feeling the growing sense of bad premonition, Saji moved his hands to the hand on his shoulder, intending to withdraw it while asking in a cold sweat.
"What kind of special training is this, it seems suspicious, and why are you acting like this, you look very strange Micael."
He spoke as beads of sweat began to accumulate on his forehead, trying to remove his hand from his shoulder, but to his growing inner horror, he couldn't, it was as if that hand was glued to his shoulder.
"Don't worry, you'll understand what training is when you see it, and as for me being weird, I just feel…rrromantic~."
Micael spoke with a calm smile, his smiling eyes only increased the strangeness, his final word accompanied by a contraction of his chest.
Micael spoke with a calm smile, his smiling eyes only increased the strangeness, his final word pronounced with a strong r was accompanied by a contraction of his chest.
Feeling a real sense of dread, Saji begins desperately trying to remove his arm from his shoulder, trying to escape, speaking in a clearly fearful tone.
"Oi, oi! What the hell do you mean by feeling romantic!? What the hell does that mean? And why the hell did you flex your chest like that, what the fuck was that?!"
Laughing strangely, Micael responded in a placating manner.
"Huhu~, calm down white chocolate, no need to panic."
Increasing his effort to escape, Saji felt real danger upon hearing those words.
"Who the hell are you calling white chocolate?! Don't fucking come any closer!"
Saji tried desperately to move away, trying to move his shoulder away from his hand, but it proved futile.
"No need to worry, it will hurt at first, but I promise you'll feel better afterwards."
As he said these words, Micael approached slowly, raising his other hand in a placating gesture.
Truly feeling that he was about to undergo a traumatic experience, Saji began to truly panic.
"No! Stop coming near me, you weirdo! Get away, you bastard!"
With his other hand reaching for Saji's other shoulder, Micael also squeezed him tightly, speaking peacefully.
"No need to be rude, don't worry, I'll be gentle."
With the grip on his other shoulder, Saji felt a strange weakness after that, he found himself unable to exert any strength, causing his horror to increase and him practically screaming in despair.
"No no no! stay away from me! O-onegai! dareka tasukete!!!(Please, someone help me!!!)"
...
Slumped over, looking completely finished, a miserable-looking Saji was lying on the ground.
Lifting his head with a heculean effort, he raised his face from the ground, then, raising his arm with the same effort, he shakily pointed in one direction, saying between clenched teeth.
"I...will...kill...you!"
Thud—
