《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 21 - Cafe
Advertisement
"U-uh, Jododam, good to see you here, but why exactly are you here?" I stuttered while beginning to sweat, "Aren't you busy at this time of day?"
"I wanted to check how my half-demon pupil was getting on, but I am not here in the flesh," Jododam replied with the creepiest tone.
"What do you mean?"
"My demonic ability is blood manipulation, although I can't control blood that comes from a host that is still alive, the only exception being my blood of course,"
"But that doesn't explain why you're not here?"
"Oh, pardon me, right now you're talking to a blood clone, as expected of a high ranking vampire,"
"Oh yeah, I did a Dysan twig test, I also have a blood-related demon ability,"
"Oh, what is it?"
"I have the blood ice demon ability, which then changed to the blood sacrifice demon ability, I also figured out my soul ability,"
"Oh what is it, hopefully, it's unique like the rest of you, "Jododam clapped and jumped up and down like a little girl.
"It is, I can shift from Antrite and Antral without a demon gate, although I can only do it when I'm asleep at the moment,"
"Oh my, not only do you have such a rare demon ability only known by few vampires, and your soul ability can switch between the worlds at will if we train you hard enough,"
"There is no way we can enhance soul abilities!" I pointed out to Jododam while lying. I still had to keep Alicia a secret.
"Us demons do have a technique, although it only works in Antral, unlike humans, our souls can be affected by training it,"
"Nevermind, is there anything else that you want me to tell you," I sighed at Jododam.
"Yes, what is your demon rank and who is your boss?"
"I am a rank one demon, and my boss is part of the dark grimoires, Krayme,"
"So one of my subordinates has found you, a rare specimen, very well, I'll be going now."
Krayme clicked his fingers which made him turn into a red liquid before falling to the floor, being soaked up by the ground. After waiting a while, the rest of the group showed up out of the garden. After we met up, all of us went to the front of the school.
As we reached the entrance of a school, I saw a coachman with the same golden pattern as the regular coaches Jododam provided. Noticing me, the coachman got off his seat and bowed to me.

"Greeting young master Dyestral, would you like to modify your coach?" The coachman asked me.
"Make some extra appetizers, and make it suitable for five people," I simply replied.
"Very well,"
The man then simply snapped his fingers, and the coach was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of thick smog. After the fog faded, the coach was much larger, with six sides instead of four. As the coachman opened the door, the inside now had five chairs and a larger table for confectionary, just like I asked for.
I entered first and took my seat. By the time I looked up, everyone had already received theirs. I opened up my blazer and took out a wallet I had in there. Looking in, I saw that I had twenty-five silver rumes, twenty groce rumes, and ten gold rumes, something which I had once dreamed of having.
I look at the front of the carriage, where a little door was placed for the coachman to talk to. I then yelled "Hey Coachman!" at the small door. The tiny door suddenly slid open, and I saw him.
"What is it master Dyestral," The coachman replied.
"What is a good cafe around Onsice, less than an hour ride from here,"
The coachman then thought for a moment and replied.
"There is a nice cafe which is called 'Horn and Claw', it's been used by many other people from Jododam's household, I've heard they have some of the best treats,"
"Then it's settled, take us there,"
"As you wish, young master Dyestral,"
As the coachman cracked the whips, the coach started to dash off at tremendous speed. Everyone was shocked and struggled to keep balance, everyone except the coachman and Abatson. I then asked Abatson a question about how he did it.
"H-hey Abatson, h-how can y-you keep balance," I stuttered.
"H-his demonic ability is that he c-can create tremors, he's used to it," Lucy stuttered back.
"H-hey show a bit of respect to me, a-after all, I-I'm p-paying,"
"Y-Yay, Dyesty i-is p-paying!" Xirax cheered while wobbling in her seat.
"Dyesty?"
"It's a nickname!"
"Pfft, she does it to all of us, Lucy is Lu-lu, Astaroth is Astarat, and I'm Batty," Abatson rudely intruded.
"Well, I'll let that one slide."
By the time we finished talking, the carriage had come to a sudden stop. As we all went outside, dizzy and slightly nauseous, I saw the cafe right in front of us. Meanwhile, Astaroth suffered the worst, vomiting up on a nearby tree and acted as nothing happened; this explained a lot more about his personality.

As we entered the cafe, I noticed that it was fully detailed in gold, silver, and groce. As all of us entered the cafe, a maid came to us. It was a standard black and white maid outfit, with a little notebook probably to take orders in her right hand. As she got closer, I saw that she looked like she was made from pure silver, her skin was pale white, her eyes and hair were silver. She stopped about one metre and curtsied.
"Welcome to 'Horns and Claws', I will accompany you to your seats," The maid chorused.
"We'll have our table with a massive view," I replied, noticing that no one was present.
"Understood, please follow me."
We followed the maid towards the porch. As all of us went outside, Xirax, Abatson, and myself were amazed at the view, Lucy and Astar just thought it was 'ok'.
As we took our seats, the maid asked us another question.
"Would you like our silver menu, our groce menu, or, our gold menu, all prices differ depending on which menu," The maid asked me.
"We'll order from the groce menu; I don't want to go over the amount I have," I replied.
"Understood,"
The maid quickly got five menus and handed them to us. Each one had thin, grey details, only a few pages thick. As all of us ordered, the food came out quite fast, each one of us was amazed by how soon it came out.
As we began to eat, we started to ask questions to each other, although most of them were directed towards me about Jododam, I was able to ask a few myself.
"So, everyone, is there anything else for the team?" I asked them.
"Oh, yes, you have to figure out a something known as a complete sacrifice," Lucyfer sighed.
"What on earth is a complete sacrifice?"
"It's where you sacrifice all of your source for one single move, but only use it willingly, as it could kill you in the process,"
"Hmmmmm, I could use my blood sacrifice, using all my blood and the opponent's, I'll use that for now," I muttered underneath my breath.
"Stop muttering, let's play a game,"
"What game?"
"Do you know what the game 'magic' is?"
"Well, Lance, the guy that you tried to kill on the first day told me how to play it, I have played a few matches with him, he told me that I was a natural," I already knew everything about it, as Lance and I played a lot of it when we were kids.
"Well then, since you know the rules, this is going to go much faster,"
"I'll volunteer as a referee!" Xirax then cheered randomly.
No Xirax! You can't be trusted, so instead, Abatson, create a field for us," Lucyfer commanded.
"Understood," Abatson replied.
He then clapped his hands, and two cuffs appeared on Lucy's and my hands, as my right hand was facing upwards, and the other the opposite direction. As both of Lucy's and my arms were clamped to each other, we both closed our eyes.
I opened my eyes; I was surrounded in an endless body of light, a mirror then appeared before me. As I looked into the mirror, I saw that my body has reverted into my demon form, although my body was illuminating different colours. My body radiated a light blue, my demonic parts were emitting a dark purple, and my eyes were pure green. I expected that due to my elf eyes, and I was right, as they were a different colour.
Suddenly, the ground started to change to a rainforest. As I jumped from tree to tree, not to be crushed by the growing foliage. By the time it stopped, I was looking around my environment, seeing how I could use it to my advantage.
"Hot and humid, making it an equal playing field," Lucy yelled somewhere.
I turned my body around to see that Lucy was standing a few trees away from me. Her body was Lucyfer's demon body, which irradiated a bright red, as well as her wings which were the colour as my tail.
"Hm, well I don't know what you'll do, better keep it even, and for that, I thank you," I yelled back.
As both of us got ready, we were both thinking the same thing, 'I want to win'. I already had many different strategies in my head. As the wind started to grow still, I wanted nothing but one thing at that moment, to make the first move.
