Chapter 27: Spar and pawn
All in all, I would consider the gathering a rousing success. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I guess that's due to the company I had throughout the event.
I manage to make friends with Seekvaira Agares and Sairaorg Bael, though the former got along better with the girls but that was to be expected. Sairaorg has agreed to have a sparring match with me and is currently on his way here.
...
In a secluded area within the forests around the Astaroth territory
"You ready?" Savion asked.
Sairaorg didn't answer but instead went into a fighting stance.
After a few seconds of tense silence, Sairaorg decided to make the first move and launch a punch but was blocked my Savion pushing him back a little. 'His punches are hard, but slow and easy to read' he thought as he dodge a few more punches before finding an opportunity and delivering a spinning heel kick, straight to Sairaorg's jaw, making him stumble at his feet.
Without giving him any chance to recover, Savion went for the attack again and aim to deliver a punch to the gut but was caught and was immediately tossed towards the trees.
Savion manage to right himself and using the trees as footing, he launch himself to deliver a punch but was momentarily caught of guard by Sairaorg sudden burst in speed and got clocked right in the face and along with the momentum he just built up, he was sent crashing through the trees.
'I guess with that, warms up over' he thought before launching himself again but with much more speed and this time he would be the one catching Sairaorg off guard as he deliver a straight kick to his gut and sending him through the trees, returning the favor.
A few moments later Sairaorg could be seen walking out of the broken trees, flaring out touki "HAHAHA Enough warm up" he spoke up laughing in excitement.
"Just what I was thinking" Savion said with a grin, flaring up his owm touki.
Thus, the spar begins once again.
Punches and kicks strong enough to create shockwaves were thrown around like it was nothing.
From the fight it was clear that Sairaorg was physically stronger but Savion was physically faster, flexible and more technical, which gave him the edge he needed as he slowly and methodically began wearing down his opponent. All the while dodging and blocking strikes from Sairaorg and trying to conserve as much stamina and energy as he could.
Savion made great use of Sairaorg's weight and momentum, whereby he deflects his attack and use his momentum against him, arresting his movements then throwing him, then immediately launching his own set of attacks. It was clear who was winning.
...
*Huff*huff* "You're a lot tougher than you look" Sairaorg heaved out, sitting on the ground leaning against a tree.
It has been 4 hours since they've started the spar and they were finally done.
"It's been a while since I've been this tired" Savion commented, mostly to himself, remembering the time he spent training with Nurarihyon. "We should do this again on a later date" he said as Sairaorg nodded in agreement "Next time I shall be the one to emerge victorious" he added.
Savion just grinned, he wasn't a battle maniac who would go out of his way to prolong and enjoy the fights, especially in a life or death situation, the fallen angels incident made that clear, but he would always enjoy a harmless fighting match like this. "Sure" he said "But you'll have to wait a while, I'm leaving the underworld for a while." he added.
"I can wait, in the meantime I will train myself better and harder" Sairaorg replied.
...
<Timeskip later that night>
"Thank you for doing this Kuroka" I said as my wounds were slowly getting healed.
"No worries nya, it's the least I can do" she replied with a smile.
"Let's have a little talk while you're at it" I said as she looked at me, tilting her hand in confusion.
Damn it!! She adorable!
"*GASP!!* You want me to give you The TALK?!" she suddenly blurted out, before her face morphed into a grin "Or perhaps you want it in practical, instead of just a little talk nya~" she said sensually, dragging her slender fingers across my lips and cheeks, making me blush.
"You win this time kitty cat" I grumbled as I calm myself down while she just laugh at my reaction.
"What I wanted to talk about is your desire to join my peerage" I said which immediately caught her attention.
"When you first made your desire known to me I was stumped, I genuinely thought that you wouldn't want to join any peerage ever again." I said "So let me ask you again, are you certain you want to do this?" I asked her
"I am, it was true that my decision was a bit influenced by Shirone, but living with you the past few months is enough to reinforce my decision and desire to join you" she replied with the most sincere and gentle smile I have seen grace her face. She was practically glowing.
...
Without further ado and with a smile on my face I summon four pawn piece but instead of using all of them I decided to try something. I took two of the piece and first tried to use it on her. I knew she was worth more than just two but I've got to see if the two piece would mutate or fail. There is no bad outcome to trying this so I had to try it.
After telling her my plan, she looked intruge and took the two piece and the small ritual began and immediately something unusual started to happen, instead of her absorbing the evil pieces, they started glowing and changing colors, from red to an almost blackish dark purple color.
Soon it stops and she was fully able to absorb them. "Can't believe that actually works" I thought out loud.
But before I could comment any further I was immediately tackled by the latest addition to my peerage.
"I am now yours nya~" she declared.
I stared at her for few seconds before I started laughing "I KNEW you'd say something like that. But in all seriousness, welcome to the family" I said after calming down and bringing her in for a hug, she returned the hug immediately as we silently embrace for quite a while.
...
"Do you want to come with me to Britain?" I asked, her eyes immediately went wide as her tail wag around in excitement. But then she suddenly stop and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
"I was about to say yes, but I'd rather take the opportunity to train with Shirone and guide her through her Senjutsu training." I was a bit sadden but I could understand her desire to help her sister.
Then I suddenly got an Idea "How about I take you and Shirone to Magari-san in Japan, it would also be a lot safer for your sister to learn senjutsu there and not in the underworld."
"Will she even allow us to stay, will she even want us nya?" she asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
"I know she will, you can trust me on that. Plus, you already know how I made a deal with her leader Nurarihyon about training me and my peerage members." I replied, soothing her worries. Plus, I know that Nurarihyon and Magari-san knew about their mother, so this could be a good way for them to learn more about her.
"If Shirone accepts, I accept and we'll go" she gave her answer.
I immediately went and talk to Rias through the necklace and began telling her what have just been said, she agrees to let Shirone go to Japan with her sister if Shirone accepts. She then relayed the message to Shirone who, without hesitation readily accepts the offer.
"Well, there you have it we're going to Japan in two days." I said after the call ended.
Guess I'm returning to Japan a lot earlier than I thought I would.
