Chapter 13 - Chapter 13:

The trio stood outside of a room where Sebastian had been talking to someone before he returned to them. "Okay, so after having a word with Gris, it seems as though the favor I owe her is in the form of taking all of you under my wing, and teaching y'all the real power of a demon hunter, made even better when it's from a, well, actual demon." Sebastian exclaimed, pointing at the horns on his head before looking at all three of them up and down before backing away. 

"Someone, any of you, go ahead and try to shoot me." Alex, dumbfounded at this statement from Sebastian, was about to say something, but the other two didn't need another second before they both pulled out a handgun and shot at the demonian. Yet, as the bullets were ever so close to his face, he quickly evaded both, side stepping them. He yawned at the attempt, "That the best gun you got?"

He taunts as Alex, once more, attempts to say something, only for Mike to take that up as a challenge as he holds his hand out. "Okay, yeah, bullets are cool, but how about some fire!?" Like he did before, this time manually, Mike shoots out a small fireball directly towards Sebastian, expecting some sort of cool result. Only for Sebastian to put his gloved hand up and block it.

"If this is all you got, then I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping I had three lads I can take under my wing, not liabilities." The demonian laughed as Mike grumbled to himself about what just occurred. "Relax, man! It was just a joke. Sure, you might be a bit incompetent, but you got some potential! I'd almost consider hiring you so I could have some rookies in my business!" 

"You have a business?" Pat asks as he puts the handgun of his own away while Sebastian snaps his finger, pointing at him. "Yep! Though, compared to other businesses in the region? It wasn't the best one. Don't see why though, I don't see anyone else pulling off sick moves when they're fighting demons! But, hey, got a contract so that as long as I'm working here, my business stays afloat, and the ones that are back at the office of my business are still going along with their own jobs."

Once all the small talk was through with, the four of them left the training area and began walking around the entire place as Sebastian began to explain to them what he had talked to Gris about. And it was namely that he did, in fact, owe her a favor, and now this was the favor. He was going to go ahead and teach them how to better hone their skills at killing demons, as well as their abilities. At least for Mike, because who knows what the other two's were.

As they walked through the halls, Sebastian stopped them as they were about to turn into another hallway. "Okay, maybe not that way." Sebastian tries to turn them around as he said that, just so they wouldn't go that way. Alas, that does not work as Mike looks past the corner to see the people walking over there, the most prominent one was covered entirely in clothing, not allowing anyone to see his face. 

Sebastian quickly pulls Mike back away from there before the latter asks, "Who's that?" The former responds as he thinks about what he's trying to say, "That's the Admin, he kinda just operates the whole place. And I might still owe him some money for all the things I've asked from him..." He admits, before Pat takes a peak over and sees the Admin as well. "Why is he dressed like that?" And another question is asked by Alex, "And why is he just called the 'admin'?"

"What do you guys take me for? A know-it-all? Well, thankfully, I am," Sebastian brags, trying to inflate his ego just for the heck of it before answering them actually, "Okay, okay, he wears the thing over his face so no one can actually see him, makes it easier for him when you want to try and stay anonymous, alongside that voice changer I hear he has. Or how, he might be a robot as someone I know wants to say. Same with his name, makes him stay anonymous, makes it easier for him overall."

That seemed fair enough, and gave them the answers they were looking for until they heard the sound of someone walking towards them from that hallway that both Mike and Sebastian had peered into. Sebastian quickly came to a single conclusion, "Shit, they're coming this way! I can't tell him to put it on my tab, or else he'll just cut the power to my place again!" Without hesitation, he pulls out his own teleporter and puts it to the ground, "Go! Go!"

Both Mike and Alex are pushed straight through the portal, and right behind them is Sebastian, who tries to grab hold of Pat, but fails to do so as he goes through the portal. It all culminates in Pat being face to face with the Admin as the two merely stare at each other for a brief moment as Pat gives him a quick "Hello." Only for Sebastian to come back and pull him through while Pat then also gives a quick "Goodbye."

The Admin attempts to reach out to him and speak, only for Sebastian to laugh and say, "Put it on the tab!" Once they're through, Sebastian pulls Pat through the portal and closes it right there after. "I am probably going to regret that," Sebastian says to himself in a tone of worry, yet laughing it off for whatever is likely to come due to what he had just done. He looks back at the trio and shrugs.

"Well, now that that's out of the way: Here, catch." He quickly tosses them each their own teleporters and then some small sacks of money. "Meet me back here in a few hours, I'm gonna go get a taco. I need one after that one." He puts down the teleporter he had and goes away, leaving the others to their own devices.
