"Francis!" — Hector exclaimed urgently, for the first time breaking his calm demeanor, then, without delay he quickly moved towards Francis, his body disappearing in a blur.
Without reacting to the man's movement, Micael remained in the punching pose, the blood slowly dripping from his eyes to his chin and falling to the floor.
His lack of movement being caused by the extreme pain coming from his eyes, which combined with the pain of almost being separated, left him mentally exhausted.
The proof of this is that all of his abilities were deactivated, leaving him as an ordinary human being.
Then, slowly, he began to lower himself, ending up in a half-kneeling position with one hand on the ground, his vision blurred as he kept his eyes on the two with a frown.
He breathed slowly and deeply, sweat forming on his body in large quantities due to exhaustion.
Then, clenching his jaw, he reactivated his eyes, the sharp pain, as if someone were sticking red-hot needles into his eyes, returning with force.
The intense pain that made breathing difficult came along with a ghoul's regeneration, healing what was left of his cuts that almost tore him apart, but being unable to heal the damage to his own eyes obviously.
"Fuck."
Murmuring in a weak tone, Micael knew that the fight was not over yet, and that his weakened state would make things difficult.
'Sigh, looks like I don't have much of a choice.'
In the end, it looked like he would have to use the first version of his plan c, as he doubted the white guy would let him get close.
Slowly getting up, Micael prepared himself for probably falling unconscious and for who knows how long it would take for him to recover.
'On the bright side, I'm not going to die, so no matter how long it takes to recover, I just have to try harder later to get stronger faster.'
In his head he also had thoughts about his family and even how Rias would react to it, he just hoped that she would be able to explain things properly so that they could calm down.
Mentally preparing himself, Micael kept his eyes on the two men as he prepared to launch Amaterasu.
In his vision, the white man stood up carrying the black man and passing through the broken wall.
Micael then had a vision of the state of the black man's face and damn, it was a grotesque vision, the man's face was literally sunken in, he was sure that the frontal lobe of his brain had been crushed.
Blood covered the entire region as it dripped onto the floor, some teeth were exposed from his broken mouth and his eyes were out of their sockets.
Micael was sure he was dead, but considering his luck, he didn't doubt that this guy would survive in some ridiculous way, at least the white aura that covered him indicated that.
Micael realized that the white man was using Senjutsu to heal him, confirming his hypothesis that these guys didn't just know Touki.
In a moment, the white man met his gaze and his frown became evident, but the man did not appear angry or even worried, at least not outwardly.
He managed to maintain his composure, at least to not try to attack him immediately.
"We really underestimated you kid, you managed to fool us well."
The white man ended up speaking, his tone was calm.
But Micael didn't respond, he just stayed alert to launch Amaterasu at any moment.
"But I see that your power has limitations, I can see that you are very weakened now, maybe I could even kill you."
The white man spoke, but Micael didn't bother to respond.
"But luckily for you, I'm not going to push my luck for you to use another ridiculous skill out of nowhere, and more importantly, I have to save my friend."
The white man continued speaking, his frown now returning to his calm face.
Micael just continued to stare at him in response, the drops of blood that came out of his eyes slowly running down his chin.
"So, I congratulate you kid, you managed to beat us, but I recommend enjoying it while you can, we'll be back and when that happens, I'll make you suffer for it."
At the end of the white man's words, a magic circle began to appear beneath his feet.
"Until next time Micael, I will definitely remember your face."
When the white man said these words, his calm gaze seemed to carry a dark feeling that seemed unnerving.
In the end, Micael just watched motionless, without giving him any response, as the magic circle finished expanding, with the light beginning to cover the two figures.
Then, the magic circle lit up and the two figures disappeared, with Micael remaining alone.
Seeing that the two had actually teleported, Micael slowly relaxed, disabling a ghoul's regeneration, he still looked around cautiously as if expecting an attack.
Upon realizing that he was truly alone, Micael's body finally left its state of alert, the adrenaline lost its effect and mental fatigue hit him with an immense headache.
Raising his hand to his head, in his blurred vision he looked up, the barrier they had erected quickly crumbling.
Without wasting time, MIcael picked up his shirt from the floor and began to flee the scene of the fight.
He didn't know where he was, it would be a problem if he was in someone's territory not to mention it would be better if no one saw him as he was.
Running through the alleys between the houses, sounds began to appear, first those of birds, then those of people.
But as he ran, he felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, his vision becoming blurred, and his headache increasing.
Understanding that he would probably faint, Micael then walked through the alleys in search of a more isolated place, managing to find a place against the back of a house.
Still with his hand on his head, he walked with heavy, tired steps and breathing deeply until he leaned against the wall.
Slowly sliding against the wall, he raised his head looking up at the sky, the drops of blood still running from his eyes, the veins still distended on the sides.
With his vision flickering in the darkness, his hand loosening on his shirt, Micael muttered weakly.
"Now it's up to you, Grayfia."
Saying this, he stopped resisting unconsciousness, his mind entering darkness and his body losing its support.
With his head down, Micael stood against the wall waiting for Grayfia's rescue, the drops of blood from his eyes slowly dripping onto his shorts.
...
[A few minutes earlier, right after Micael left school]
Tap—
Tap—
Tap—
With the sounds of her quick footsteps echoing as she walked quickly, Rias headed towards the ORC's room.
Click—
Opening the door and walking through it, she closed it and moved, still walking quickly, to the couch.
Upon reaching it, she immediately sat down before leaning forward and burying her face in her hands.
Remaining in this position for a while, Rias suffered from the shame she felt until she managed to calm down a little.
Slowly raising her head, she seemed lost in thought, the blush from before still present on her face.
Taking a slow deep breath, she sighed. — "Sigh." — She then brought her hands to her red cheeks and began to massage them, intending to reduce the blush.
Leaning back on the couch, her calm thoughts began to return to what happened, the memory of what she felt came to mind.
With the memory of his body against hers, his smell and that thick thing against her ass, her heart slowly accelerated and a part of her body began to react by pulsing.
With her mind losing focus and her body starting to become excited, Rias quickly regained focus as she groaned in frustration.
"Ugh, calm down girl, have more self control." — She spoke to herself in an indignant tone as she leaned forward again, still massaging her cheeks.
As Rias tried to calm down and control the urge to scream into her pillow, a female voice came from behind her.
"Why should you control yourself?" — Akeno asked curiously upon seeing how Rias was acting.
"Kyaah!" — Rias screamed in fright as she quickly turned around.
Seeing that it was Akeno, she placed her hand on her chest as she sighed in relief. — "Haaa~ it's you Akeno, you scared me."
Akeno raised an eyebrow upon seeing her reaction, approaching the sofa, she leans against it supporting herself with her arms as she asks again. — "Then why do you have to control yourself?"
As Rias calmed her racing heart, she momentarily froze, then, adopting a calm expression while disguising herself, responded calmly. — "It's nothing, you don't need to worry."
Keeping her gaze calm, Akeno pointed with one hand as she spoke. — "Your blush reveals everything, Rias, there's no point in pretending to be calm." — Using the same hand to rest her head on her cheek, she spoke to the girl on the other corner of the couch. — "Hurry, spill."
Once again being questioned directly by Akeno, Rias just remained silent as she looked away.
Her mouth opened as if she wanted to speak, but then she shook her head as she said. — "Never mind, I'd rather not talk about it."
"Hmm." — Akeno hummed, then a slight smile appeared on her face as she asked. — "This has something to do with Micael, doesn't it?"
Rias slowly turned her gaze to Akeno, then, narrowing her eyes, she spoke. — "This has nothing to do with what happened before, you damn pervert."
Akeno laughed in response before speaking. — "Hahaha~ what's up Rias? Are you still mad about what happened before? You're is a big girl now it's okay if you like seeing naked boys."
With the blush returning heavily to her face, Rias replied. — "You know that's not what I mean, you shameless girl, I'm talking about you making fun of me."
Rolling her eyes, Akeno responded to her. — "It's not my fault you were so embarrassed, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease you, besides, I'm not the only pervert, you pervert."
With the blush on her face almost reaching her ears, Rias narrowed her eyes even more at the smiling Akeno as she spoke. — "You-"
But she was interrupted by the appearance of a magic circle in the corner of the room.
With the conversation coming to an abrupt halt, Akeno and Rias looked towards the silver magic circle where, in a flash of light, Grayfia appeared.
Rias barely opened her mouth to ask what happened when Grayfia spoke, taking a step forward.
"Rias, Micael was attacked."
And at her words, Rias froze before her eyes widened as she instantly stood up from the couch.
"What!?" — She exclaimed in clear surprise.
Akeno's reaction was minor, but she was equally surprised to look at Grayfi with her mouth slightly open and no longer resting on the couch.
Grayfia continued to speak in a calm tone. — "He activated the signal, the problem is that I can't know his exact location, in fact if it weren't for his request to reinforce the signal I would barely have noticed, it's likely that he's inside a barrier."
Due to the shock of this news, Rias could barely muster the words to say something. — "B-but he-"
But interrupting her, Grayfia spoke calmly. — "Rias, calm down."
The words in Grayfia's calm tone reached RIas' ears and had an immediate effect.
Rias closed her eyes as she slowly took deep breaths, her racing heart slowing down with each breath until she managed to calm down.
Opening her eyes, Rias slowly frowned as she adopted a more serious face. — "What are you going to do?" — But despite her calm tone, only Rias knew how nervous she still was, her worry for Micael increasing by the second.
Adopting a slight smile, feeling satisfied with her ability to control her emotions, at least a little, Grayfia answered her. — "I am going to wait."
Before Rias could say anything, Akeno's voice came from the side.
"Don't forget what he said, he already had a plan in case something went wrong." — Akeno spoke in a calm tone, her arms crossed holding her elbows, unlike Rias, she was much calmer, but she also had a concern for Micael's situation.
Rias just nodded in response, the frown still on her face, and as if on cue, a ringing sound came from a nearby window.
There, flapping its wings rapidly in front of the window, was a bird, a pigeon.
Understanding what this meant, Grayfia waved her hand and the window opened, the bird then flew in and landed on her outstretched hand.
Wasting no time, Grayfia turned to the two and nodded in farewell. — "I go."
Rias and Akeno just nodded goodbye as well.
Then, with the magic circle appearing below her, Grayfia teleported away.
Rias and AKeno exchanged looks, a look that they both understood, they were both worried about Micael.
Looking away from Akeno, Rias looked out the window towards the sky, the frown on her face disappearing along with the sigh she exhaled.
"Sigh, I hope you're okay Micael."
From that moment on, Rias and Akeno along with Koneko and Kiba who joined later, silently and anxiously waited for Grayfia's return.
