The System Of A Vampire - 121 Grave Forger Returns
Draig had slept soundly for most of the night until he was awoken by a loud squeal from two people at his paper curtain, he had used the same Runes from his stay at the Kori compound to provide him with enough privacy.
Pulling the Talisman curtain to the side he was surprised to see someon he knew among the duo of steaming mortals.
As if sensing his presence none other than Ginji hopped to his feet and looked at Draig or more precisely the Thousand Fold Blade.
“Did you miss me” cooed the Grave Forger reaching for the Sword only to feel Draig’s powerful fist impact his skull.
“You can’t stop true love if it’s meant to be” groaned the odd Smith.
“What are you doing here” complained Draig, he didn’t wish to be on constant guard of his sword being stolen from him.
“To attend the Academy obviously” smiled Ginji looking at the Feratu though Draig’s eyes seemed to wander over to the second of the Duo, a girl by the looks of it if the upturned skirt was anything to go by and the lack of a crucial element.
“I mean how did you get into the Academy” sighed Draig as he was certain only those who could show potential as a Deva were allowed entry.
“Simple I used the Forger’s clause” explained Ginji with a smile.
“Forger’s clause” asked Draig raising a brow.
“Yep” chirped the man as he smiled.
“Are you going to elaborate” asked Draig causign Ginji to realize what Draig had been asking.
“Well simple really, certain Deva are allowed to bring a personal smith with them into the academy provided that they can defeat one of the Guards at the entrance.” smiled Ginji causing Draig to nod.
“Then I assume that this is the Deva that gained you entry” asked Draig motioning to the girl who was still steamig from the zap of Draig’s Talisman curtain.
“Well that was the plan but my darling little sister was barely able to last against the Guards at the entrance, luckily I figured you would be here and took the gamble saying I was your personal smith and now here I am” chuckled Ginji causing Draig to look at him blankly.
“Then you used my name to get in….” stated Draig as Ginji seemed to realize that they had parted on such good terms last time and began sweating.
“Wait, look I know that you are still probably upset that I tried to take your sword but I promise that this isn’t the case anymore. I just want to be able to maintain it for you and who knows we might eventually be able to get it to fold again” explained Ginji for once with a serious expression.
Draig looked at the man before looking at his apparent sister and realized she didn’t have a sword.
“Where is your sister’s sword” asked Draig as this was an odd thing to see for a Deva to be without their weapon.
“Oh she doesn’t use a sword, she uses a hammer” smiled Ginji feeling that it was like a family tradition for one of their members to work with a hammer.
“A hammer?” Questioned Draig as this went against what he had known and what he had witnessed.
“Indeed” nodded Ginji sagely as he stroked his chin causing Draig to feel like Zarra had been reborn but he knew that wasn’t the case because the man still resided in his Avatar.
Reading the look on Draig’s face Ginji decided he should get talking lest he end up on the receiving end of one of those super powered punches again.
“Just like all Deva have a different Avatar there are many different kind of Deva as well. You happen to be one of the majority of the Deva and use a sword but there are those that use spears, axes, hammers, and many other weapons. You can’t just assume that a sword is the only weapon capable of killing Demons, that would be ridiculous” explained Ginji before chastising Draig at the end causing him to be on the receiving end of the Feratu’s ire.
It was at this moment that Ginji’s sister started to wake and looked at Draig and then to Ginji before realizing the postion she was in and quickly moving to a sitting position while holding her skirt down.
“You didn’t peek did you” asked the girl looking down with a blush.
“What was there to peek at, you left it out there for the world to see” laughed Ginji seeing the shy response however it was soon revealed why he was able to take one of those super powered fists to the head and still be okay as the girl pulled a mallet and walloped Ginji over the head before turning to look at Draig with nefarious intent however the Feratu wasn’t one for these games.
A slight narrowing of the eyes caused the girl to pause what she was doing and rethink her action, she seemed to understand that Draig wouldn’t be so friendly if assaulted by her hammer of womanly justice.
“You are Ginji’s sister” asked Draig as he barely saw any resemblance between the two.
“I am Aoi, Ginji’s younger sister” introduced the girl as she looked towards Draig expectantly.
Seeing that Draig wasn’t taking the hint she decided to try a different route.
“Who are you and how do you know my brother” asked Aoi
“I am Draig, I had your brother forge me a sword some time ago though he tried to keep it” answered Draig causing Aoi to look at Draig with narrowed eyes.
“You stole Ginji’s divine sword” grunted the girl causing Draig to look at her with narrowed eyes before turning to look at Ginji.
“Is that what he told you” asked Draig causing the girl to nod and look at Draig hatefully.
Draig proceeded to jab Ginji harshly causing the man to stir and look at Aoi and notice the look on her face.
“So I stole your sword did I” asked Draig causing Ginji lose a bit of color in his face.
“Aoi told you about that did she” laughed Ginji sheepishly.
“As I recall I brought you many Grave swords from fallen emperors and had you fuse them into a single blade, however upon it’s completion you attempted to keep it for yourself” grunted Draig causing Ginji to cough lightly.
“I think Aoi may have confused my words, I never said anything about you stealing a sword from me” started Ginji before Aoi turned her wrathful gaze towards her brother.
“Ginji” growled the girl as she caught on to the actual happening’s of the situation.
Draig didn’t say anything and merely watched the situation unfold as the girl proceeded to beat the Grave Forger ruthlessly with her hammer.
“I apologize for before, it seems that there was a misunderstanding between us.” smiled the girl causing Draig to watch witha sweat.
‘She changes too fast’ thought Draig as he slowly slinked back behind his curtain hoping to avoid the crazy duo outside.
