Chapter 22

Return and....

The swift magical beast runs away, because it has been discovered!

Kalego: "Curse he fled to the forest of brambles and it's impossible to follow him in this darkness!"

Annabel: "At least that demon is now safe and sound."

Kalego: "Yes, but the news will spread quickly, usually they don't come near here, just because it is protected by demonic magic!

So snorting he goes back into the house, followed by Annabel who closes the door and then adds:

"Tomorrow I'll try to silence the voices as best I can."

"The creature has really grown strong, but maybe with that pyramid we can at least avoid other victims?"

He staring at the object, which has now turned gray:

"It sure works to our advantage."

And then:

"So your shield symbionts have any other abilities?"

She: "Well yes. They are my protectors and they were in a kind of hibernation and I could only use a small part of their abilities; but now that they are awake I can use them fully."

Him: "Mph then try to use them better next time."

And she who takes this answer patiently sighing only and after:

"Now I'm going. Can you open the portal for me please?"

The other who approaches and first touches right arm with her left to loosen the grip of the bracelets and then pull her to his side to give her a kiss and whispering:

"Tomorrow you will go back to school for sure, Babylus needs your presence."

She just nods and then, pressing on the tip, opens the portal again, where he notices that it doesn't necessarily have to spend an hour like when it was golden.

And so she crosses it and in fact Opera has not noticed anything.

Naberius used it because he understood that their technologies can also cross the barrier of a rank nine, where he did not notice anything, on the contrary if he opened it and this is a confirmation that he will also write in the notebook of he.

The next day, he has not yet received any strange news about what happened the night before.

So for now it's all calm and while walking on the street leading to school, he stops in front of a florist, where he sells strange flowers and plants and here, noticing one particular item, he enters and makes his purchase.

Naberius has read the book of the language of demonic flowers and has always thought that they are a great gift for a woman, like black roses, but in this round he did not take a flower.

Then he sets off again on the right path and here in front he notices the priestess Annabel coming out of the road that leads to the principal's residence.

He notices that she is alone and is from behind and is wearing a long black coat with a hood and fur as also notes the brooch in her hair, where it creates a certain internal joy and perhaps she has realized that the headmaster has allowed her to go alone again , as she has fully recovered. She is the only one immune to the disease in that world, except in her vulnerable period. But she doesn't mean there aren't other dangers all the same.

The day is cold and he too wears the heaviest uniform for those periods so he wears the longest cape. Although he is one that the cold keeps him pretty well and is therefore not a big problem.

So stop, note it for a while where there are also other demons who go their own way and even if they have a relationship, they can't attract attention, so keep away for now.

Then she gets to the point where a huge demon with two huge horns and greenish skin, face like a moose and dressed as a biker blocks her way, convinced that he says:

"Hey who are you? How about you come with me huh? Even if you're ugly, I'm fine with that hahaha!"

She looks at him raising her head and sighing only. She is not afraid of her, after she has dealt with pissed tuft, now her boyfriend of her, in the phase of stress, imagine if this jerk that she is trying to us causes him some upset. Then, she can't even use any weapons or gadgets because she goes against the alliance and so she kindly tells him hoping that he'll leave her alone:

"Thanks for the invitation ... but I have to decline."

And that just with a grimace and then he tells her:

"You don't understand! Just come with me you ugly bitch!"

He yells at her as he raises a hand to grab her and she wants to defend herself maybe just by running away from her but at this point she feels behind her:

"Cerberion!"

And after she appears again the golden three-headed dog, where fast with a clawed paw in a few seconds knocks him out!

She recognized her as Naberius's familiar, who in fact she then hears again:

"The taller and bigger they are, the dumber they are!"

She turns to notice that she looks first at the one on the ground who mumbles something, maybe moans in pain and then looks at her and says with a smile:

"Good morning Kalego."

"Don't waste your time with pathetic low-ranking demons!"

So, recalling the beast, she begins to walk, where the woman sees the one on the ground half broken and she who knows why there was no one around.

Annabel who follows him: "I know how to defend myself but you know I can't...."

"Don't you have your stupid golden pyramids?"

"From the last meeting with Kerefet ... those were also taken away from me ..."

"Another rip off! "

Kalego intervened both because she couldn't do it and because she insulted her. Now that she is his demo partner no one can afford to use certain terms against her, so justice is done.

She seemed more like a knight's gesture, that she doesn't know if there really exist certain gestures there, so he takes it as a positive thing.

Then, around the corner of a building, where he takes her by the arm and drags her and she:

" What?"

Him: "Silence!" He covering her mouth with a finger, where he then greets her with a passionate kiss and she reciprocates too and then with the other hand he makes her little gift appear. It is a small, round cactus of black color and green spines, where there are two protuberances that resemble the pointed ears of the Anubis breed. And it's placed in a small transparent box to protect it and she:

"Oh ... how cute! It's so small!" Love at first sight that grabs her and he says:

"Mph!" With great satisfaction because she has his own hobby and therefore he already knew that she would appreciate it more than the others and then:

"Come on, or we'll be late for school!"

True she told him to calm down, but that little gift is too good that it almost cuddles him and Kalego still:

"Don't show it to anyone, we must avoid indiscreet questions." Materialism is important to them, because they express affection in some way and he cannot help it and less, even if he has declared himself because it is another addiction and for her, he has taken it all too well and is aware of this thing that it doesn't bother him at all.

And the woman nods her head and then hides it in her hanging bag.

Her: "For what happened yesterday? News?"

Him: "Not yet ... maybe if we're lucky he was just a bum that nobody will believe him, so he's great for us." And he also adds:

"And now he's walking away from me, don't they have to notice anything clear?"

And here too she gestures to him and walks away, remembering that that relationship is secret.

At school, the other teachers, where they first greet rank eight; they meet the student council who distribute them some papers where it says what they will have to do that day, plus establish their new assignments. Where below they are very happy to see her and meet again the other caretaker who tells her:

"Annabel finally returned to us! How did she go?"

He knows the history of the punishment and therefore omits details on purpose:

" Fine thanks."

Dali knows of her vulnerable phase of her but not the whole story, he only knows that her blood has become normal but he does not know about the of the menstrual period where she is vulnerable. The only ones who know are: Kalego, Balam and the Sullivan house, where they obviously keep silence for the good of all.

Dali: "Luckily the amulets are all working again and then how cute the hair clip is like this sweater." He tells her as he puts his hand under his chin.

Sweater that also notices his partner and other internal joy in seeing that in the end the clothes he bought did not throw them away.

Then he also looks at Kalego, who, however, gives him a threatening look, as if to say: if you say anything else I'll ruin you and that he immediately senses:

"Ok ... then let's wait for new orders from the principal and then let's see how to proceed."

The woman who noticed this and only replies patiently:

" Yes sure... ."

Kalego: "For now you will stay with me." Where the other also agrees. Now she doesn't bother him that much and then with the story of her bracelets, which can't stay away, it's better that he keeps her as close as possible. That said, he goes out and she follows him greeting the others.

He still has one hour left before classes begin and then proceeds with an inspection,

however, where something immediately catches his attention, in the infirmary, is Professor Morax; a teacher quite advanced in age, together with Blushenko who is in charge of healing whoever she needs. So she touches her back and approaching him, she says:

"Back again... .that bad... and I've tried all of them, ointments, potions and more but nothing...."

Blushenko: "Aaaam .. I just can't heal it .. and it's really nerve-wracking."

Kalego: "Professor Morax, if the pain is unbearable you can go home."

He is one who respects his colleagues if he is respected and he is also attentive to their health if they take care of them and in this case he knows well that she did it, but continues to suffer anyway and one of them in those conditions it is really useless.

"Yes, I have no other choice ... I am really mortified ... ."

Him: "Mph, you will be replaced without any problem."

Annabel who has seen it all intervenes saying:

"Sorry .. can I try a method that we also use on our planet?"

And everyone looks at her weird and she adds:

"It's nothing benevolent I assure you."

Then the two professors look at Kalego and wait for his to answer that he comes with a wave of his hand, to tell her that she can try. Unfounded is their moral support and also their protection why not make her encourage this situation even more? She can only do other good.

She then he approaches her, feeling her back and then proceeds with slow movements of the hands on a precise part, the one where the wings come out and after a few minutes.

Morax: "Oh..oooh ... I feel ... I feel so much better ... ."

And the other two amazed and she still:

"I don't know what you're doing to me ... but my back pain is passing."

Annabel continues: "I'm actually just doing gentle, slow massages on the muscles near the area where the wings come out, which is really stiff. If I'm not mistaken it's called Curiorium."

Blushenko: "By the devil ... do you know demonic anatomy?"

"These days I have had a culture and if I continue with other massages also below, on the muscle called Curioriumini, it should pass completely."

So she continues making circular movements where prof. she feels in heaven and in fact she confirms afterwards: "The pain is ... it passed me and it hadn't happened for years!"

Annabel ends the session and she straightens up and tests her back saying to Kalego:

"I would like to go back to the lesson with his permission."

"If he feels like it, certainly there are no problems."

"Yes, I want to continue." Turning to the priestess's side with a smile, which she takes as a thank you and where she then happily comes out and Kalego was amazed by this, he didn't think he was capable of relieving pain with just hand movements. He had heard something like this but didn't think they were effective up to this point, even more than witchcraft itself.

Blushenko: "But why didn't I succeed with magic? I don't understand?"

Kalego: "It is evident that Morax's body was so used to your treatment as to the others that they no longer had an effect."

"Oh ... it can be, in fact ...." And with this and thoughtful he also comes out of the infirmary and after.

Kalego: "Can you know where you learned the demonic anatomy and where?"

"Doing massages is a compulsory course on Inb for us priestesses, and it is a very effective way before using medicines and other stuff .. for the anatomy ... Iruma brings me some books, since Sullivan has forbidden me to enter the his library ... but they are often wrong and in the middle there was that too and so I read it. "

"What? Iruma? Are you telling me that you let the brat carry your books like a thief?"

"He's happy to do it and then we got lost in other funny talks and so ... ."

But then he feels the bracelet tighten and notices Kalego almost growling saying:

"Were you talking to him? Alone, with him?"

"Look, he's just a kid... ."

"I know very well!"

"So what? You hurt me.... "

"I don't want you to talk or stay with him, especially if he's Sullivan's grandson."

She says softly so as not to be heard.

"Okay, if it bothers you so much I won't do it again... ." And he who comes together and her bracelet loosens her grip and after her he says: "Mph! Let's go!"

So he comes out of the infirmary followed by the woman who thinks that it is really exaggerated to feel jealousy for a little boy.

Kalego is jealous yes, but he deeply hates that damn brat and doesn't want him to approach his partner too, who might miss something about their relationship, so that talk is more than justified.

As they walk down the corridor, Annabel loses sight of him, the school is really big and the corridors all look a bit alike, especially when it is full of students changing classrooms, so she looks confused.

Kalego, on the other hand, is convinced that she is following him and while he is walking he hears some screams and, when bumped, he goes in the direction of the voices and finds the usual scene.

In a little-frequented place, some third-year bullies are picking on some first-year ones; in fact they are beating him and then he intervenes saying:

"Shut up! You damned thugs!"

And all a little frightened turn to his direction and the demon was amazed that the student council did not intervene and therefore, what happens next is this, one of the bullies not to run into severe punishment, because he has recognized, he throws a bottle in his face that he can't dodge and then, not knowing what was inside, he keeps his face screaming because it hurts a lot:

"How dare you son of a bastard!"

The bullies run away as they laugh but Kalego promptly summons her familiar, who catches all three of them and then with a spell, makes a black and purple cage appear and slams them into it with the screams of desperate and apologetic ones and he, as long as he keeps his face furious and with Cerberus behind him threatening more than ever, says:

"Enough! You are pathetic! First you attack me and now you whimper! For you there is only expulsion!"

So it happens, where he brings up some papers with their names and photos and then signs the expulsion for all of them.

And this for the students of this prestigious school is equivalent to the most total humiliation, because now they will have to attend other low-level schools.

Immediately and without being seen, he contacts Blushenko for the injured with telepathy and then heads towards the road that leads to his partner, but first he looks around because now and only now he realized that his partner was not with him.

"What the fuck has happened to?"

And then the pain in his face is so strong that he pushes him to Balam without thinking twice!

Balam: "You better go to the Kalego infirmary ... that's strong stuff mixed with acid and I don't know where they got the formula!"

Kalego is doing a healing spell but things are not improving:

"Damn them and who generated them! No, I'll stay here, I'll make it!"

"Mmmm hard headed." But the other only moans sitting on a stool in front of a table full of completely natural medicines, where Balam has already tried to cure him but without success.

After ten minutes, he suffers even more, by now his face is burned and his left eye has swollen and therefore he suffers alone.

Balam: "Aaaaam. ... ."

Kalego: "Don't say a single word ... I'll be able to heal!"

Annabel who finally entering and following her voices says:

"But by the gods ... what happened to you?"

And she approaches and Kalego:

"You ... but where the hell were you?"

Balam: "Now is not the time .. he had an accident with third year bullies who then expelled."

"What? Your face, what have they done to you?"

Kalego who feels uncomfortable and only replies: "Mmmmgggg... ."

And the other again: "He was hit by a highly corrosive potion! We've tried everything and he's doing a high-level healing spell, but it's not working well."

She is visibly baffled by this.

Annabel: "Let me try... ."

Kalego: "I'll make it ... I'll heal!"

Annabel: "Trust and complicity ... are the rules established for this relationship ... and then you know very well that I did it even when I didn't have to, so where is the problem? And as you well know, I always keep my mouth shut. "

Balam who was once again enthusiastic about how much she cares about him, something he has never seen with the others he was with, more has only heard from his stories and tells him:

"Come on Kalego, get green fire healed! You know it will take too long and you are not sure that there will be no scars or irreparable damage!"

Those he fears most and where he will be laughed at by everyone but he also knows that his blood can work miracles and therefore, after a few minutes of silence:

"Okay ... but hurry up!" He silenced his pride in him, leaving room for the test of trust in him.

She is a nod of the head, where she takes a shard that is on the table and cuts her palm forming the ankh and after, Kalego removes his hand and she brings her close to his face and begins with the care.

Again he feels that pleasant sensation of warmth that surrounds him, like the flames with white writings inside and so he waits and where Balam, as a true biologist, takes notes by drawing and witnessing the whole scene. Because who knows when he will happen again!

And after ten minutes, his face is completely healed and Kalego no longer feels pain and can also open his eye.

Balam: "What too fantastic! See what they told me live!"

Annabel: "Please I saw you were taking notes .. don't show them to anyone ... ."

"Of course, sure! The only ones who enter here can be counted on their fingers and those who speak to me too."

Kalego trusted and did well, she passed the test, she is really worthy of his trust!

Annabel only sighs and then she approaches him and gives him a tender hug, where she wraps his neck and she feels his face gently press on this one that makes him stay, like the other one and then breaking away she tells him:
