96 Patron or not pt2 (2/2)

”This is where your guests stay” asked Draig skeptically.

”Our trainees stay in similar houses and they are guests to the clan too” explained Yuki causing Draig some confusion.

”I thought outsiders weren't allowed to learn your clan's secrets” asked Draig causing Yuki to nod.

”That is true but like you they have come to learn the basics and attempt forging their own path but not many succeed, those who fail become guards for the clan under the supervision of a retired Deva while those who succeed pay homage to the clan by offering a percentage of their monthly stipend. This is how the clans assist in keeping the number of Devas plentiful while also maintaining our authority” explained Yuki looking into the distance as if contemplating her next words.

”Then what if they refuse to pay this percentage” asked Draig curiously as it was certain that someone had to have tried to reject this idea.

”They are worked to death” stated Yuki a bit ominously.

Draig then had a thought.

”You don't expect me to agree to this same trend” asked Draig as he looked at the girl with a narrowed gaze causing Yuki to flinch instinctually, it was as if she was face to face with a blood thirsty devil when the Vampire laid his eyes on her.

'Personification' thought Yuki with a sweat, personification was the step before forming one's avatar.She was certain Draig had never trained in the art of the Deva meaning that there was serious potential hidden away within him, little did she know though that she was talking to a real Devil indeed.

”O-of course not, if you will excuse me I must speak with Father.” spoke Yuki quickly displaying a bit above average speed as dashed away.

Draig sneered, they would regret it if they tried similar tactics with him. He hadn't trained as a boy in his old world and now that he was reverted to a child if he trained with his Vampiric body then his old capabilities would seem like a chicken before a tiger.

'Mortals always so treacherous' thought Draig entering the small abode which he found to be rather clean on the inside as compared to it's outer appearance.

However Draig was still wary after hearing of the consequences for those under the thumb of clans and proceeded to paint his runes along the surface of the inside of the building until he found he had run out of ink.

'Damn, this is such a waste. If I were to run out of ink and talismans in battle then I would be little more than a sitting duck especially with my childish body. It is simple to fight off those untrained mortals but for these Deva to be able to fight demons then they must possess incredible strength the likes of which I can't compete with until I regain my former physical attributes and revealing my transformation would prove fatal because of its figure.' thought Draig as he bit his finger and used his blood to continue writing while thinking of a way to place his runes in a more efficient manner.
