Aziel couldn't finish his words as Damian covered his mouth, and went inside their room before closing the door.
"Shhh! What the hell were you thinking? How can you be so complacent? I thought we told you to be extra careful and don't attract too much attention? And you better call me Damian, kid."
Aziel was happy to be with his old companion until he hears the word kid. He didn't knew why but whenever Drako uses this word to talk to him, he gets really annoyed.
"What are you even doing here!? And who's body is that!?"
"It's a long story but this body is mine, and I came here to watch over you. Don't worry, I won't be a bother to you or even disturb you with your training."
Aziel has no choice but to accept the fact that his old companion came to watch over him.
Although, he was a bit upset about it, seeing the old dude who taught him so much made him happy.
"Well, I just want to tell you that, I am happy to see you here Mister Dra… I mean Damian, I hope you can give us pointers on our training sometimes, and thank you for personally coming here to watch over me."
"Don't worry about it kid, it's the orders from the top. Anyways, can you tell me the name of your friends?"
"Oh yeah sure, the small looking one is Rocky, and the other one with red hair is Jake."
Aziel head to his bed and began to meditate.
"Are you sure you want to do that here?"
"Oh yeah, you're right."
Aziel made a barrier that conceals their energy inside the room.
"When did you learn Miss Eleanor's magic?"
Damian was flabbergasted.
"A long time ago, but it's my first time using it."
"How!? Miss Eleanor didn't taught you her magic, right?"
"It's just between the two of us for now, okay? You see, whenever I train my magical core and it absorbs particles from another magic, I can copy that magic. And recently, I learn sound manipulating magic from the principal of the Academy."
Damian's jaw dropped in shock.
"Kid, I don't know what to say. I'm happy for you kid, and jealous at the same time. 'Sigh' If only I had the same talent as you, maybe I can do great as well."
"You're wrong Sir, why don't you join our training. Maybe that'll change your views on everything."
Aziel nonchalantly asked Damian to train with them.
"Maybe, I could give it a try."
"Alright! Let's become stronger together Damian!"
Aziel happily welcomes Damian.
They both meditate in their beds until midnight.
After meditating Aziel went to wash his body and change his shirt before going to sleep.
Damian did the same thing after.
"Damian, I'm going to sleep now because tomorrow will be another day for training. You should take a rest as well, I have a very special training regimen for you."
Aziel lay down in his bed with a huge smile on his face, and Damian doesn't like the sound of that news one bit.
"Whatever kid, I am the son of my father, destined to follow his greatness, promise to never back down on anything in my path. So whatever it is that you're planning to throw against me, throw as hard as you can!"
Damian was having a speech when Aziel shushed him to go to sleep.
Eventually, Damian went to his bed and rest for the night.
The night went by and it's already morning when Rocky and Jake wake up.
"Crack" "Crack" "Crack"
Rocky and Jake's body was like a cardboard, crackling in every move they make.
"Dude! My body hurts like hell!"
"And it's heavy! I don't think I can move it anytime soon."
The two of them couldn't complain anymore when they saw Aziel meditating in his bed.
"Aziel? How can you still move after that training yesterday?"
Rocky asked as he slowly get up from his bed, his body is crackling like a cardboard left under the sun for many days and got compressed.
"Only the first week is the hardest part, after that, everything will eventually feel easy. So, get up and let's go to the field for our body training."
Aziel jumped from his bed, followed by Damian, which made Jake infuriated.
"Hey dude! You are not included in this group, look for your own group or whatever!"
Jake stressfully conveys his words as he got up from his bed.
"I apologize for whatever mistake I have committed yesterday by offering you a token."
Damian grab something in his small backpack.
"You can't just buy your ticket in by offering us a tok…"
Jake couldn't finish his sentence after seeing the items that Damian wants to offer.
"I hope you can accept these token and find in your hearts the forgiveness…"
"Of course!"
Jake didn't let Damian finish his speech and jumps off from his bed as he saw the shining sword in Damian's hand.
"I really want to join this group, so will you let me in?"
Damian grabbed another item from his small backpack which was two magnificent daggers.
"Dude, how did your backpack manage to fit all that items inside?"
Aziel was stunned by how spacious the backpack was.
"This backpack has the ability to store as many items as I want, however, it cannot store living creatures."
Damian tossed the daggers towards Rocky.
"How did you know our weapon of choice?"
Rocky asked while scanning the two magnificent daggers in his hands.
"I didn't know, it's just that smithing is my hobby and that weapons are the only ones available in my possession at the moment."
"Damian, I know we can be best buddies. Please teach me how to craft awesome weapons like these."
Jake's attitude towards Damian went 180 degrees.
"I can't believe you Jake. You went from being angry towards Damian to feeling close to him in just a few seconds."
Rocky just rolled his eyes and walk towards the door.
"I really have no beef towards you Damian, if Aziel decides to let you join, I have no objections with it. But if you ever betray our trust, I promise not to forgive you and hunt you down wherever you go, even if it kills me."
Rocky with a serious face, look at Damian in his eyes.
"I swear on my father's name that betraying Aziel will never come into my mind, not even for a single second."
Rocky bowed his head, and opened the door for Aziel and everyone.
"Aziel, this friend of yours is really loyal to a fault huh. You really have a great sense in finding great people."
Damian said to Aziel telepathically.
"You're right."
Aziel happily replied telepathically.
"Alright, shall we go now?"
Aziel walked outside their room and everyone followed behind.
