156 Schools out with a Surprise Visi (2/2)

Keiko grit her teeth at having been toyed with and placed a hand on to grab the Snubbed Sword on her back.

”Pretty cocky for someone who can't even manifest, how about going a few rounds if you're in such good shape then” spoke Keiko hoping to reclaim a bit of the pride she came with.

Draig smirked in a patronizing way as his skin blackened and he entered his Hybrid form that those around the Deva grounds had come to think of as his Materialization.

Keiko saw this widened her eyes, she hadn't expected Draig to still be able to enter this form due to the fact it was believed to be a byproduct of his Deva powers.

”Who said I was wounded” repeated Draig as he stepped forward causing Keiko to subconsciously step back again forcing him to snort.

”Still as weak as before, truth is I don't even need this form to beat you” chuckled Draig as he returned to his normal form.

”If this is all you came for, leave. I don't wish to be bothered with such trivial things” stated Draig as he turned his back.

'Chance' thought Keiko as she her drew Snubbed Sword and lunged in an attempt to stab Draig in the back.

Draig smirked and time seemed to slow down as he spun around and caught her wrist in his grasp.

”Weak and slow, stupid too” stated Draig as he squeezed causing Keiko to drop her blade with a pained yelp.

Draig then planted his fist into the girl's stomach lifting her off the ground forcing the wind from her lungs then allowed her to fall to her knees.

'Such a foolish person will never have any noteworthy achievements' thought Draig as Ari, Souta, Yuki ran to Keiko's side.

”You may leave now, it is apparent I stopped my meditation for nothing” spoke Draig as he walked back into the dwelling intent on returning to his meditation.

”Draig wait, we didn't here to start trouble” called Ari halting the Feratu before he could get out of seeing distance.

”It seems that from the moment you came here it has been nothing but trouble, if this isn't the case then why didn't you keep your little wretch on a leash” Scoffed Draig, he truly didn't like Keiko. Not because she was human as Draig could think of several human's he did like, no. It was simply due to her character flaws, he knew he had his own flaws but he didn't intentionally attempt to provoke those he knew weren't wise to mess with. A good example being when he had just started learning of the Deva, he didn't assume that he could rule over them all simply because of his natural born superiority and Runes. He recognized that they would be able to kill him and thus obeyed within reasonable means.

Ari heard the words and couldn't help but blame Keiko, she loved the girl like a little sister but even she found her personality to be detestable at times.

”It wasn't my intention to come here and kick you while you were down, I sincerely wished to check on you. I was worried that you may not be doing well since you lost your Avatar” spoke Ari hoping to get Draig to stay.

”As did I” commented Yuki after she made sure Keiko was okay.

”Then you have finished your task, as you can see I am managing well” answered Draig simply.

”Thats not what I mean Draig, we heard about the destruction of your building and that you hadn't been seen since. We were worried, many of the other Heirs were worried too” continued Ari hoping to get Draig to stay a little longer.

'Funny the building was destroyed weeks ago' thought Draig as he remained silent.
