AN: Hey guys I'm back with CHAPTER 10 of the Summoned Prince. Sorry, it took so long to get here, but I had other stuff to deal with at the time. However, none of that matters because we are here, and I hope you guys all love it. Also, HAPPY VALENTINESDAY21

(Rin's POV)

Shiemi and I arrived at her next class fairly quickly. Based on all the phrases on the board and the students reciting verses, this was her Aria class. All the same annoying humans from Shiemi's other class, but a different teacher. An overweight red-haired lady, and the moment she laid eyes on me I could sense deeply seeded hatred sprout, and she clearly wanted to kill me. As if. I wasn't afraid, she couldn't do anything to me. Just like any human, she was weak.

Shimei sat next to the Yukio boy, and I took my seat on the ground beside her. There was a thick sheet of silence covering the room for a moment, and then the Aria teacher begrudgingly turned back to the board and resumed teaching.

"Alright class, now that all disturbances are out of the way let's continue. Who here can tell me where the fatal verse for a Griffin dwarf is located?"

4 hands immediately went up. Yukio, the rooster, Baldie, and Eyebrows, all the ones that think they're oh-so-smart. The teacher hesitated for a second before speaking.

"Ms. Moriyama why don't you answer the question,"

Shiemi jerked her head up and it was quite obvious that she did not know the answer. Yet the teacher chose her. Not out of good intent, but to have fun at her expense. No, I could tell; and this human was getting on my nerves. Who does she think she is targeting Shiemi?

"Um...um… I don't know."

The woman snorted at Shiemi's lack of knowledge.

"Of course you don't. Maybe next time you will actually do your work, and not spend your time with such filth." She said the word with so much venom she could fill a rattlesnake.

The woman scoffed and then asked the bald boy.

" ."

"The fatal verse for a Griffin dwarf found in the book of Exodus, book 6 verse 15."

"Thank you. I want all of you to remember that. It will be on the final examination."

The rest of the class was quite boring until the end. Four more humans entered the room. I easily recognized each of them as some of Shiemi's teachers. The one named Talch is Shiemi's main teacher, Nehaus who trains the regular tamers, Tsubaki her supposed "gym" teacher, and the woman who trains Shiemi and me.

When they entered the class was silent, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath waiting to hear what they would say. Talch spoke first.

"Today things are going to change. As of today, there will be an additional class added to your exorcist curriculum due to certain events that have taken place. This new class will be entirely focused on real-life battle training. You will be fighting real demons, and using real weapons. Any questions?"

Multiple hands went up, and the teachers began to answer them. I had tuned them out until Shiemi asked a question.

"Um, what about me? Will I be using Rin in this class?"

I glanced over at the Talch man, and it seemed that he was seriously considering it.

"Yes and no . Given what your summon is we have decided that he will be used for the examination itself. Instead of fighting with the students he will fight against them, and that includes you, ."

Instantly all the students began to question, and yell for answers until Neuhaus stepped in.

"Enough, we have wasted too much time discussing this already. Let us go."

He and the other teachers walked out, and the students hesitantly followed with Shiemi walking at the very back with Yukio. I walked behind them, smiling to myself.

This will be so much more fun than just sitting in a classroom.

(Shiemi POV)

"Yukio, what do you think meant when he said we'll be fighting Rin?"

"Um, I think he means that because Rin is so strong, then he will be able to handle almost any danger that comes to you. But, if he can do that then there would be no reason for this class in the first place so they are pitting him against us to make us work even harder."

I nodded. Understanding what Yukio meant because it is true, Rin could probably take down any demon that they can have waiting for us in there, but I need to be stronger so I don't have to rely on him for everything.

"But, Shiemi I also think they put him against us for another reason. I think they want us to fight him specifically because everybody in our class hates him. They may want to use him as motivation for us to aspire to levels where we could actually fight him."

"Do you really think so Yukio?"

"Yeah, I do."

We turned away from each other and stopped talking. I really hope what Yukio said isn't the case. I glance behind me and see Rin walking, and unless I was seeing things then Rin was smiling. I hope I'm seeing things.

As I was looking back at him I didn't realize that we had left the hallways. Yukio nudged me to get me back to reality, and I snapped back to see that we were now in an arena.

It was similar to 's arena, but it had to be at least two times bigger and instead of just sand on the ground, there were six different sections of it. The five sections outside the center were covered in grass, ice and floor tiles that would occasionally spew fire, sand, and an area that had shallow water covering the floor. In the center was a little hill that was made of rocks, and rose at least 10 feet in the air.

The teachers lead us to the sides of the arena where we could stand on solid ground. Then began to talk.

"This is your new training arena. Arena X. As you can all see this arena has different environments all around. They represent the most common terrains you will have to fight on when you become a real exorcist. Now then, on to the fun part."

She then clapped her hands, and two big monsters came out of the center hill. They looked giant, like a six-foot-tall giant, muscular, bats.

"These demons are known as Knuppels. They fall in the middle of class C demons but should be more than a challenge for your pages. Also, Rin can you come here."

We all turned to Rin who was leaning against the wall. He yawned but without question, he pushed off the wall and walked over to .

"Alright everybody, now I know most of you have been wondering what we meant when we said Rin will fight against you all. Well, I'll explain in a second but first, let's see how much you know. Who here can tell me the rankings we have for demons?"

Yukio spoke first.

"They are divided into level of danger using a letter system. Starting from the weakest it is E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS."

"Thank you. Now then who here can tell me what level Rin falls under as a humanoid demon?"

This time Bon answered, beating Yukio and Izumo by a split second.

"He falls in the A class right, as all humanoid demons do."

"Correct. Given that Rin is an A level demon it would be unwise to put him against students your level. I would even say that he could probably decimate everyone in here besides myself without too much difficulty. So, to mitigate that threat we are going to use him. He will be in charge of commanding the two Knuppels and defending the base. Obviously, he won't be using anywhere near his full strength. Do you all understand?"

My classmates starting murmuring to themselves, even Yukio, but while they were doing that I looked at Rin who was looking at me with eyes that bored through my very soul. He tilted his head ever so slightly, and I somehow got the message he was trying to send. He seemed to be waiting for me to decide whether he would obey or not. I gave him a slight nod, but he did nothing to respond to it. Then spoke.

"Alright, no more questions. I want everybody in places in 30 seconds. Now."

and scrambled to different sides of the arena, and strolled to a different side laughing at how serious was. walked over to the final side of the arena, and he looked to be quite annoyed.

Then Rin without warning jumped at high into the air and landed at the top of the hill in the middle of the arena with the two Knuppels at the bottom of it. There was a thick silence spread all in the room as everybody waited for something to happen. I was so nervous I could just curl up in a ball and hide. was the one who shattered the tension.

"Oh, yeah sorry we almost forgot. We can't let you pages fight unarmed."

With that, she dug into her pockets, brought out a tiny remote and pressed a button on that remote. The moment she did the walls behind us shifted, and then they flipped. We all jumped back, and when I looked at the walls I could feel my jaw drop.

Now instead of walls, there were shelves of different weapons. There were guns of all sorts, grenades, swords, and knives, holy water canisters, tamer papers, and so much more, that most of it didn't make any sense to me. However, I knew one thing. We were going to use these to fight, but I have never held a gun before or used a knife to fight. I looked at everyone else to see what they were doing. They were all grabbing weapons, and each of them seemed to be comfortable with whatever they were grabbing. Even Yukio was grabbing two twin handguns, some holy water grenades, and a bunch of ammo. I gulped, knowing that I couldn't just stay the scared little girl that I am. I wanted to prove that I didn't need Rin to be useful, and this was my chance.

I took a deep breath then reached forward with shaking hands. I grabbed a handgun and some ammo. I also grabbed one grenade and a knife. Then I turned around to the arena. All the teachers were looking at us, waiting, the Knuppels were snarling at us but they didn't attack and Rin… Well, Rin was laying down at the top of the hill not paying a bit of attention to us. By now everyone had taken their weapons and was waiting for the signal to go.

gave the order.

"Begin!"

Bon charged in first. He was carrying a big gun that looked like it fired a bunch of rounds at once. I was right as Bon began to shoot the Knuppel on the right with a flurry of bullets. He shocked the Knuppel. Then Bon's friends Konekomaru and Shima joined him with Konekomaru using a shotgun and reciting verses while Shima used his staff thing to begin hitting the Knuppel from the back.

I turned to see Izumo and Paku fighting against the other Knuppel. Izumo was using her fox demon summons to attack the Knuppel, and Paku was using a gun similar to Bon's to shoot the Knuppel in the chest.

Takara and Yamamoto were just staying behind, not participating in the fight. I turned to where Yukio was and was shocked to see that he had charged in already, and he was heading straight towards the hill. Towards Rin. I ran after him.

I had to duck and weave every other step as either one of the Knuppels got too close, or one of my classmates almost hit me. It was more often the latter. I continued to follow Yukio, determined to stay with him.

He made it to the base of the hill first and was already climbing towards the top. When I got there I began to climb as well, but I was already a little tired with how hard I had run, so I wasn't climbing nearly as fast as Yukio was. He made it to the top when I had barely begun to get up. He looked at me, and then he stuck his arm down for me to grab. I did and he helped pull me up to the top. I was tired and breathing hard but we had made it this far. But something felt off. This felt too easy.

I blinked and looked at Yukio. I felt my body instantly go cold. He was in front of me but he wasn't standing. He was limp in Rin's arms, his glasses were in pieces on the floor, his face was bruised, blood was trickling from his nose and mouth, and Rin's claw-like hands were latched onto his neck squeezing the life out of him. How could this happen? We haven't even been up here for a whole minute.

Every second passed in slow motion, my heart pounded in my ears.

I turned around to call my classmate for help but froze as I turned around. The other students who had entered the arena beside me were on the ground beaten and unable to move, more than half of them unconscious. The Knuppels were both licking their paws, and they didn't look injured at all. Not even a speck of their own blood was shed.

I looked to the spectating teachers, hoping to see them rushing in to help. But they were just standing there not moving an inch to help in any way. In fact, they all looked rather passive about this whole situation. I gulped making a realization. They had expected this to happen, so they weren't planning on interfering unless it became necessary. WHich means that everyone who was going to help was already knocked out, I was the only one left.

I turned back to Rin, he was still holding Yukio by the neck.

"Rin! Let him go or you'll kill him!" I pleaded, desperation in my voice.

Rin seemed to mull over what I said but he obeyed and dropped Yukio who fell to the ground like a rag doll. Then Rin began to walk closer to me.

"Shiemi, this whole time I knew that your class was going to get slaughtered but I must say this was even worse than I thought. You couldn't even manage to wound a single demon and now you're the only one here."

"What are you doing Rin? What did you do to Yukio!?"

"Normally I would do the same thing to you, but seeing as how you're my tamer, I won't. I'll be very kind and gentle with you." He smiled darkly.

"What are you…"

Before I could finish Rin lunged forward and was behind me in a second, covering my mouth with his hand.

"Why don't you take a nap Shiemi," Rin put his other hand above my head, and I could see a dark mist come from it, and fall onto my head.

I felt my body go limp against his chest, barely supported by my legs. My gaze faded as I looked to his face. His sharpened canines glinted in the light as he smiled at me.

"That's right Shiemi. Rest…." A sort of dark chuckle rumbled through the silence.

I lost all my strength and collapsed to the ground. My vision shadowed, and I could feel an unshakable sleep cloud my mind. And then everything was dark.

(Michael's POV)

I walked through the gardens of the Holy City, finally having a moment of peace. It has been so long with all this war preparation, the signs of a new Heir to Satan, and worst of all: Lucifer. I had ordered everyone not to disturb me unless it was an emergency of the highest order.

I continued to aimlessly walk around the never-ending trails of cobblestone and dirt that were like spider webs all on the land. God created this garden as a separate dimension. It is endless and eternal. Never ending and never starting. We call it God's paradise, but the humans have a different name for this garden. To them, it is known as the Garden of Eden.

As I continued to think about the garden and my plans, I didn't realize where I was. Not until I came to the side of one of the 3 main rivers that flowed through the garden. The ancient river Gihon; it held more importance to me than the other two. I stared at it and could feel all the memories of this river begin to claw their way to the surface.

(Back when Michael was a child. Too long ago)

"Hey, Lucifer why did you bring me here?"

I looked at my elder brother as he walked beside me along the river. Today, he would normally be training me, but he had decided to take me here. To God's Paradise. We'd flown straight to the river, but I didn't really know why.

"Michael do you know what this river is?"

"..Um...I know it's the Gihon river?"

He chuckled a little bit, and I could feel my face redden with slight embarrassment.

"Yes, little brother it is, but it's so much more than just the Gihon river. This is my favorite place to visit in all of existence. God and I use to walk along the bank, and now it's you and me."

He then put his hand on the top of my head and ruffled my golden hair.

"Hey! Quit it, Lucifer!"

"Alright, then I want to show you something."

Lucifer unfurled golden wings erupted from his back, and he launched into the air with a single mighty flap of all six wings. Amazing.

"Are you coming, Michael?"

"Yeah, Lucifer!"

Now it was my turn. I concentrated, and from my back sprouted 2 little white wings. I crouched and rocketed myself after Lucifer. Though it did take me more effort to do so than it did for Lucifer.

Once I made it to where he was in the sky I stabilized myself so I wouldn't fall, wobbling only a little as I flapped in the air. I looked at Lucifer with pure admiration basically sparkling in my eyes.

"Now brother," He smiled, "look down."

I obeyed, "What am I supposed to see Lucifer?"

I only saw the Gihon river.

"Oh, little brother how I envy the young."

"I'm not that young Lucifer."

"You think, anyway Michael I want you to look at the Gihon. What do you see?"

"I...dont know. It's just a river."

"Michael this river is one of the 4 original bringers of life. It is pure and it is love. It is everlasting and will always be there for us. Just like I will be for you."

"What?"

His smile grew even bigger.

"Michael, I promise you for as long as the Gihon flows I will be here for you. Through thick and thin, you and me are brothers to the end."

"Thank you, Lucifer. I..I love you." I rushed forward and hugged him. He was pushed back a little but embraced me nonetheless.

He chuckled, before propping his head up on mine, "I love you too little Michael and I always will."

(Back to the present)

I felt a tear fall from my face, watching it land in the Gihon. My face was covered in salty water, rough sobs rippled through me. To think that just remembering Lucifer could do this to me.

I'm supposed to be strong, but here I am crying like a baby over a...a traitor. I'm not 'little Michael' anymore. I have my wings and I am God's right hand.

Get it together Michael, you knew this was going to happen sometime.

"Master Michael!"

My head shot up at the voice. In the blink of an eye, my tears dried as I turned to see Afriel panickedly flying towards me.

"Please sire, it's an emergency. We need you immediately."

Once he got to me, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed. That was a very bad sign, and it normally meant something disastrous happened.

"What's the matter Afriel?"

He seemed to hesitate visibly afraid.

"Tell me," I ground out between clenched teeth. Clenched from irritation or fear, I didn't know.

He finally cracked.

"I'm sorry Master Michael. We failed you...there was...an attack."

"An attack!? Where?! Did it happen on Earth? Or Purgatory, maybe?"

"HERE, my lord. Somehow Satan has convinced a large number of angels to defect to his side, and before we knew it, they attacked the city. Right at the center. Hundreds are dead, my lord.

I froze. My mind froze, my body froze, everything froze. To think that they would be so low as to attack the Holy City. AGAIN. To turn my brothers and sisters from the light! IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE!

I couldn't contain myself anymore. My anger spilled forth like a never-ending wave, consuming everything else in its path. I let it out with a vicious yell as I pushed off the ground and sped for the city's center.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

(Shiemi POV)

My eyes started to open, first wearily but then all the way. My head was pounding, and for a moment I didn't know where I was, but I was able to tell that this was my dorm room.

I groaned, "Ugh, what happened?" And then it all came rushing back.

The training exercise,

The fighting,

RIN.

Rin had knocked me out.

I wanted to be angry, but I knew it wasn't his fault. It was our fault because we weren't strong enough. I wasn't strong enough. How can I be Rin's summoner if I'm so weak? I don't deserve them. I could feel tears begin to well in my eyes when all of a sudden the door to the room busted open, and in walked Rin.

He had his usual scowl plastered on his face as he enters.

"Well, well, well, look who finally woke up. How was your beauty nap?"

"What are you talking about Rin?"

He smirked, "I'm talking about how you and your little class got your asses handed to you, and then you took a 5-hour nap. Courtesy of moi, of course."

I paused knowing that what he said was all true, but I didn't want to accept it.

"Yeah, so we may have lost this time but we'll win next time."

Rin chuckled a little bit at that.

"Shiemi, you naive little girl. You and your little group of humans won't win, ever. Not the next time, or the time after that, or even the time after that. At your level, you humans won't even be able to beat those lower demons within a decade. Let alone me."

I couldn't think of anything to say to that. Was Rin right? Would we ever be able to beat him? Either way, we had to get stronger.

My stomach grumbled. Loudly. My cheeks reddened, and I remembered that I hadn't eaten since lunch at school.

"Hungry Shiemi?" He quirked an eyebrow in mock interest.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten since lunch."

Rin rolled his eyes.

"Well I expected as much, so I made preparations."

I looked at Rin in surprise and confusion.

"What do you mean Rin?"

"Come to the lunch room and see."

Before I could question him more he walked out of the room and headed to the lunchroom. I was still confused, but I got up anyway and followed him.

When we made it to the lunchroom I looked around and was surprised to see a steaming bowl of Sukiyaki on the table. I looked at Rin in confusion, and I didn't know what to say.

"You made this?" He nodded hesitantly, "For me?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes.

"Of course I did. You, humans, are unbearably weak without food, and I found a cookbook in the kitchen so I took the liberty of making something for you."

I smiled happy that Rin actually thought about my needs. Maybe he has a little good in him; somewhere.

"Well thank you, Rin."

I walked over to the seat in front of the bowl, grabbed the chopsticks that were next to it, and dug in. The moment I took my first gulp I could feel my very body and soul resonate. This was DELICIOUS. I've never had Sukiyaki this good.

"Rin! This, this is amazing! Where did you learn to cook like this?!"

He smirked, and I felt my face redden again.

"Human food is quite simple, so making it was easy and I have a bit of practice," practice? From where? He waved his hand in the air, "Anyway, Shiemi, I want you to send me back to Gehenna now."

I stopped eating and looked at him.

"Why?"

"I don't have to explain my reasons to you, but if you must know I have a life in Gehenna and would like to do some work before the day is done."

I thought about it for a second.

"I guess you can, but will I be able to summon you tomorrow?"

"That's fine, but do it after your regular school time, waiting is so troublesome."

"Alright," I gave him a friendly smile as I nodded eagerly.

I pulled the summoning paper out of my pockets and ripped it in two. There was a slight chill that filled the room as Rin's body began to dissolve into black mist until he was gone completely.

Once the final wisps had disappeared, I turned back to my food and continued eating, still happy that Rin was actually did something so nice for me.
