"W...Was delirium-Do your needles cause hallucinations, Ripha?"
I'm not hallucinating, I'm just looking at something here...
"And could you please stop moving? I need to make sure I get them off before those balls are thrown in. I don't imagine you would want to feel the pain of these things slapped even deeper," he looked at the needles which had locked up most of his limbs, except his left arm.
like whack a mole, huh...
"..."
"..."
He sighed inwardly taking in delight, the peace and quiet that was now in that demon's stead,
It's like a vacation that I don't want to end...
"Nice!" Gionne loudly butted in as he pulled out the longest needle yet. Now weirdly, absent of weight, it gently landed on the floor below, "that was our biggest one yet!"
"Yet! more remain," Lily quipped, "...," "All in a day's work, dear friend," Lily walked over to the needle rolling around the feather light object around, "also these look waay longer than the original version," "y...yes it's one of our defense abilities, ok more like the needle's defense abilities, we call it restraint."
"Gionne, focus."
"Wait, how did you...?"
"Please continue."
"Uh..."
"How about why they become longer?"
"Incoming."
She sidestepped, moving out of another needle's way.
That's awesome, it's like she knows it even before it comes-
"Hey, kid! Curiosity's gonna kill me."
"Oh, r...right longer,why...,"
Beep beep! Beep beep!
"See now? Thank you so much for killing me."
"Wha...? Huh...?"
"Ignore her, she's joking," he turned to lily, "and you missy, come help me pull this one out, it's suddenly become more stubborn than its predecessors."
"Just...," Lily turned into a thread of green energy absorbed into Gionne, altogether they clasped their immediately transformed furry clawed hands around the needle, "yank it off!" and pulled it off in one sweep. She jumped out of Gionne's body and morphed back into her cat form.
" Sorry! "
"Too much suspense and the kid's clearly not even normal to begin with, even amongst us."
[Amount of vitality in the user's has slightly dropped.]
"..."
[Congratulations, you have gained some understanding of a certain species.]
"Thank you very much...!"
He closed the window as he sprung from the top bunk of his bed, he let out a good stretch heaving a great sigh of relief, "... Now we train!"
What's happening?
"... Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"..."
"Sadly today it seems that- just a second," a hand was let in by the barricading tentacles, purple fluid from its suckers marinating the invisible barrier, preventing contact with the slightly thick mucus.
"Thank you very much," the hand signed a thumbs up before retreating.
"... Now where was I?"
"Sadly today it seems that...," the hand lowered after answering.
"Right," the teacher expanded the force field that he set in place, after the mysterious hand retrieved its own, letting the mucus run on the grass, far away from the box's reach. Once the field dissolved, there was a ring formed around the tattered box.
"So here we have some things that will help you..."
His brain saddens me.
"Oh! I was going to say that it's sad that there will be no fights today. Anyway...,"
Finally.
He opened the tatters and whatever was held back by the worn-out, brown defenses fully made itself known amidst the general public there. It rushed forth and into the student's air pathways, some eyes stung while others hurled their meal away from view.
"... This is always how it begins, I am aware of its 'overbearing presence' but that's not even the half of it. I'll show you something interesting instead. You," a boy who was among the purgers was reeled in by a force towards G'yonna, "since you asked the first question in my class, you get the honors of being the first one to try,""I don't think I really want to...!"
"And down the hatch it goes, also,"
Pop!
"Just to make sure that you don't spill it out. It's really a one-of-a-kind medicine and you're all very lucky that you're getting it-"
"!"
"Next..."
Isn't he going to, well, drown?
"..."
[? Flesh has begun stimulating your slightly open core even further]
"Flesh?"
"I did it...!" The ball encasing his head let go. Gionne dropped onto the ground, tired but victorious.
"You know, I'm really jealous of you, you don't have it rough like us, sensory types, do or any of us in that matter! Do you know how many times I've emptied and refilled my stomach with the same thing?"
"Ten...?"
"..."
"I know, rhetorical, shutting up now."
"Good choice."
"But, at least, he is not pushing for meditation or anything of the sorts-," "Ah yes! The very least he can do for tossing us around like puppets, feeding us who knows what, and also for fixing us with the most fashionable hats this era has ever seen!"
"If he hears you, he'll feed you more."
"... You're right."
"..."
"... Anyway, how could you not even react to it, you're unbelievable."
"But I wasn't the only one,""Of course how could I have forgotten them, long, short, medium, plump, bony, confused, quiet, shy...?"
"Wait a minute, Shy?! Shy did it?!, and I couldn't...?!"
Why is he acting like this? He's a bit more lively than usual. That or maybe this is a whole new side to him I didn't know...
"AAH! SHIT!!" Durhma lift someone into the air, maybe livid because of the entire... "I DIDN'T LIKE THAT ONE BIT!!"
... scenario. Any other students close to him apart from his lackeys scrambled for dear safety, his eyes red with rage scanned for any that wasn't that quick on their feet to vent his unbridled rage on.
"His bond's doing that thing again," they ducked, making way for someone who just sailed over them.
"And the one who did it is currently leaving," G'yonna made his way out of class, letting the poor kids fend for themselves.
"Oh! This one's already using Y'ggrah's gift this early!" He said as he clawed his way through the rocky exterior that the beyond frightened student conjured up around himself.
"GREAT WALL! GREAT WALL! GREAT WALL!"
"Hey, you two-! Actually wait a minute how many are we?"
"Seven, sir, khehehe!"
"A couch would be just fine!" another added, Blackhand fascinated by the comment, beckoned two unlucky individuals to him and sent them to scout more of their friends, who shortly after, since they wouldn't imagine being on the demons' wrong side, duly availed themselves before them, seven in total and all, of an earth frequency, as per the instructions given.
"Now remember, soft and bouncy! Nothing more, nothing less! And if one fails..."
A thud sounded loudly behind them.
"... So please fai- I mean don't fail."
[Attempt to save will be pointless
Immediate action: Please walk with your friend out of the room.]
"..."
[Same required action proposed by the system was willingly carried out by the user yesterday.]
"You don't have to shove it in my face like that."
[... A Foreign energy has been detected, please get to...]
Something just grabbed my- "AAH!!"
[... safety;;]
"..."
"Run, boys."
