Winter's POV
While I was still on the helicopter I decided that I would make sure I got famous in the Den. Everybody already knows that I killed a Kongou without a God Arc so when they see me drenched in blood with a clean God Arc and Cocoon Maiden spears then they will get the message. Thus, when we got off the helicopter I decided to walk straight into the den, with Lindow and Alisa following with Alisa still being strangely quiet. I was still drenched in the Vajra's blood; from head to toe. Aragami have a different colour blood than humans. We have red blood and Aragami have black blood.
When we walked into the Den I hadn't gained a lot of attention. The people present in the Den at the time were Sakuya, Kanon, Gina, Hibari (like always it seems) and Soma. We attracted Hibari's attention at first and when she screamed "What happened to you?" at me she had gained the attention of the others present. Kanon appeared to run towards me with Gina behind her. I remember Gina asked me, with a smile on her face, if the blood I was soaked with was Aragami blood to which Lindow had replied and confirmed this. Once Lindow confirmed this, Alisa started heading towards the lift. I noticed that Sakuya had followed the same time, Soma had wanted Lindow's attention from the upper level of the Den and thus Lindow went up to him. I was left with the three women, Kanon, Gina and Hibari as I noticed she had left the desk, most likely to speak to me. I still had a clean God Arc in my hand which is something that Hibari noticed.
"You did not?" She had shouted as she saw my clean God Arc, "You killed a Vajra without your God Arc!" It was more of a statement than a question. Kanon seemed to jump back at that but Gina's smile had widened.
"You've got to go to the infirmary immediately!" Hibari continued but Gina interrupted,
"Not so fast..." She says in her sadistic voice with a hand on her hip and licking her lips. "I want to know how you killed the Vajra."
"I want to know that as well!" Kanon finally spoke up with an angry look on her face.
"What's all this noise!" shouted a pristine voice from the lift. The lift doors opened and revealed Johannes, the Director of the Far East Branch. He had heard the noise and thus decided to investigate it. He had looked in the direction of Lindow who pointed at me with a small smirk on his face. The Director followed the direction of Lindow's finger to see me and the group that I am with. As he walked down the stairs, he too noticed the clean God Arc and that I am drenched with Aragami blood. The girls had noticed him and moved away slightly to give him space to walk up to me. That's where we are now.
"You killed another Aragami without your God Arc" he stated with a small smirk and his hands behind his back.
"I did." I answer calmly.
"I am impressed." He starts before turning his head towards Hibari, "What was it this time?"
"A Vajra, sir." Hibari replies matter of factly.
"A Vajra?" Johannes questions as he turns back towards me, "I'm impressed."
"What?" Kanon expressed her disbelief.
"Of course." Johannes replied, "this is the first time we've seen this happen. Winter," He began, "report to Doctor Sakaki to give him your mission report. He may wish to give you a medical." He finished and left to go back to his office, our heads followed him as he left. Once he had entered the lift, Gina said, with her head turning back to me,
"okay, give me the details." Hibari and Kanon looked to Gina as she talked and then to me for an answer.
"Okay but don't interrupt." I said and was met with the three girls nodding at me, I also notice that Soma is looking down at us from the upper floor with Lindow no where in sight.
"Well, Lindow helped me to kill a Cocoon Maiden so that I could obtain these spears." I begin as I gesture to the spears that I have in my left hand. Speaking of which, that hand has started to ache.
"Let me see them," speaks Gina with curiosity enveloped in her voice.
"I thought I said 'no interrupting' but fine." I drop a few spears into her open hands which recoil once they touch her skin and the spears fall to the ground.
"Ahh!" Gina shouts in agony as I pick up the spears.
"Gina! What's wrong?" Kanon asks.
"Ah! It burned when I held those!" She then inspects her hands before looking at mine.
"Let me see your hand!" She demands.
"What?" I splutter in confusion.
"Your hand! Let me see it!" She shouts and in response I show her my hand. She looks to be comparing mine and hers.
"Erm... What are you doing?" Kanon asks nervously.
"When I touched the spears, I was burned yet he seems perfectly fine." Gina says and shows her hands. There was a a few purple marks on her hands. Gina continues,
"I have marks on my hands but he doesn't."
"That is something that you'll need to go to the infirmary about, Gina." Hibari says.
"I will..." She starts, "Later. I want to hear the rest of the tale." She says turning her attention back to me.
"You got over that quickly." I say calmly before continuing the story, "Well, to summarise, I stabbed the Vajra in the eye with one of these spears. It threw its head back and I was thrown onto its back whilst taking its eye out." I seen Hibari and Kanon wince but Gina's smile widened. I continued, "I then stab it in the torso with three more spears after I jump off the Vajra. Then it turned around to face me where I stabbed it in the other eye and chopped off its fangs." I took the fangs out of my pocket showed it to them and continued, "Then I told Lindow to devour it." I finished and said,
"Now if you'll excuse me. I need to say Doctor Sakaki." I left the girls and headed to the lift but not before seeing their expressions. Hibari and Kanon looked shocked and fearful whilst Gina was grinning as if she had gone mad.
Once I arrived at the lift had stopped I went straight to the laboratory. I walked through the door without knocking.
"Holy Aragami! What happened to you?" Sakaki shouted and after telling him why I was drenched in Aragami he had calmed down. Well, calmed down enough.
"I'm going to need to conduct a medical for you." Sakaki said.
"Yeah, the Director said that you would probably want to conduct a medical" I replied.
"Yes well, before I do that go and clean yourself up." Sakaki said as you made a 'shoo' motion with his hand. Before I left though, I said,
"Oh, Gina said she was burned when she touched the spears that I had crafted."
"That is interesting." I hear in response before leaving and I did as he said. I went to my room for new change of clothes and a shower. It's nice that there is a shower in my room. I wonder if that is the case for all the God Eaters.
I returned to the laboratory for the medical. Doctor Sakaki had already set up the equipment and had opened the door to the bed. He is currently seated at his desk.
"Same as usual I assume?"
"Yep" I reply knowing that the Doctor was asking me if I wanted to sleep there. It's almost like a second home.
"You know the drill by now." Sakaki says nonchalantly. "I'll discuss with you the results of your medicals tomorrow." He says as he gets up and closes the door to the room. I relax as sleep overcomes me.
The next morning, when I wake up, I get up from the bed and walk to the door. I knock on it and seconds later, the door opens.
"Good morning Winter." Sakaki says as he closes the door and walks back to his desk.
"I have some good news and bad news regarding the medicals' results."
"Straight to business I see." I say with a chuckle, "I'll have the bad news first."
"After analysing your cells, I have determined that you have no human cells." Sakaki said whilst smiling. What was he smiling about? He has basically just told me that I am not human.
"What?" I question.
"Your body contains no human cells." Is his reply. I am struggling to contain my anger. He just said I wasn't human, twice!
"So what's the good news?" I almost shout at him.
"That is good news!" He says with his smirk growing wider. I launch myself at him and pull him up from the ground by his clothes.
"How is that possibly good news?" I shout despite being less than a metre away from him.
"J-Just p-put me down a-and I-I can explain." He says back with the smile removed from his face. Mission accomplished, I think to myself. Thus I put him down but still keep my anger present in my voice.
"Spill!" I demand.
"Well since you're cells aren't human it means that you are immune to the infections and diseases that humans can get." He says back calmly with a straight face.
"Is that it?" I respond with my anger flaring again.
"That is how you are able to use the spikes from the Cocoon Maidens that you slaughter. You said yesterday that Gina was burned when she touched to spears, right? That proves my point." He replies. I try to calm myself down.
"Anything else?" I enquire.
"Other than the fact that you are immune to the special attacks of Aragami then no."
"Being immune to the special attacks of Aragami is great but how do you know that?" I ask another question.
"Well, I conducted experiment using your blood samples from when you first arrived. I soaked the spears that you brought in last time in the blood and expected the blood to become poisoned. However, nothing happened."
"That does not mean that I am immune to special attacks though. Just the status effects of Cocoon Maidens." I respond, confused with the Doctor's explanation.
"Admittedly, that is just a hypothesis. I would need to see the materials that you craft out of other Aragami before I can test this hypothesis. What I have been able to confirm is that you are immune to the status effects of the Aragami."
"So you need more materials?" I ask.
"I will arrange a mission for you to collect some materials. Remember, I need you to construct more weapons using Aragami materials. It does not matter how you kill them, just craft something from their leftovers." Sakaki stated, still with no trace of emotion on his face now since I removed that smile earlier. I begin to leave the laboratory when another question appears in my head. I voice it to Sakaki,
"Hey Doc, if my cells aren't human, what are they?" Sakaki replied with what looks like an apathetic smile,
"It's best you don't know." I leave the laboratory and head to my room.
