Chapter 14 - Damion
I rubbed the back of my head and cringed, Why the heck does it feel like I got hit over the head by a Xiang on drugs?! I shaked my head a few times and stood up and looked in my mirror and saw my eyes were slightly dilated. Good grief what did that nurse give to me?! More so, what the heck did Maxwell do to me that I had to go to the nurse?! I heard a knock on my door and I opened it and saw it was Maxwell. I frowned and studied him before asking, "You going to do something to me again or what?" Maxwell smiles, "Nah, I figured you would be mad at me already so I just wanted to drop by and give you a nice talking to." He pushed me back into my room and he said while folding his arms, "Galaxy wanted me to check on you since I well, 'accidently' hurt you while I was going through my horrible rampage." He turned and grinned at me, "Sorry about that." He didn't look too sorry so I growled a bit and he winked, "Samael said you were pretty beat up when he came and retrieved me." His face fell into a sad look and I huffed before he continued, "I'm sorry Mr. Damion." I slapped him, "Your acting is pathetic." I snorted and his eyes shimmered red and he growls, "Don't even try touching me again or I will send you to the depths of hell." he glowered at me before smiling again, "I better get going, I promised Samael a nice meal since he snapped me out of my phase this time so. Adios." He disappeared in a black sparkle flurry and I sighed, That little jerk. I wonder how Galaxy deals with him… he must be a handful. I casted a look at my clock and it flickered from seven seven seven to six six six. That is odd…
The next full school day arrived faster than I thought. I got changed into my student uniform and walked out of the staff dorm in my student form. I passed a few students from Verreaux and Merlin on the way, they looked at ease and I sighed in wonder, I guess no one was phased by what happened with Maxwell, must be a norm. I passed by the pond on the way and watched the fish jump in and out of the water. I turned and slammed into someone and I looked down a bit and saw Nova glaring at me, "Woah, watch it Jared." He growls and I stepped back and snorted, "Well sorry, but you are sort of short." He blasted me with magic and I sighed, "Ok ok, yes you may be small but you do have a nice sting of magic." He blasted me again and I coughed from the smoke, "Hey you could work on aiming, you hit my hair." He took out his dual blades and they shimmered with magic and he slashed them at me. I took my own sword out and parried the attack. He and I fall into the pond with a splash and I saw a few students look at us with a grin.
I made my way toward the shore and Nova flared his six wings out and flyed over to me and he lands, "You have horrible footing Jared." He scolds me and he shakes his hair dry, "Well, the bridge is not the best place to have a sword fight." I said to him and he looks away, "Honestly I think you could take the insult and work on what I just told you." I patted his head and he blushed, "Can you not do that?" He murmured and I smiled, "You are more of a son to me Nova than anything." He looks at me and snarls, "That is horrible, I am not going to listen to that at all." I heard the bell chime and I sighed, "You just made me late for Gloxinia's class, good job, Professor Nova." He glared at me again and said, "When are you going to stop being a student, I am not going to manage your dorm any longer than I have to." I smiled and began to walk, "As long as I want to." He began to complain but I teleported before he could make out any words. The stars are sure bright out today, I wonder how long Maxwell is going to keep up his part of the deal.
