Akira and her mother ended at the door named "Fumihiro Abe -principal"

"You leave the talking to me , Akira. Okasa will handle the situation” Hina

“Ok” Akira

Hina knocked the door and entered followed by Akira.

Akira felt the demon presence, her face not even flinched remaining serious. Akira had the stern and focused look of a war veteran who had seen the hell and came back to tell the story.

The spiderman was sitting on a desk about 40 years old male with large glasses and an official suit.

“Good day principal, It is Hina Ryu and this is my daughter Akira.”

“Ah come in, please sit down”

“What a big mess have you done miss Akira.”

“Can you please explain the events from your perspective honorable principle. I still don’t know what happened in details” Hina

“Ah sure Mrs Ryu. So about 10:34 Akira had assaulted a honorable student Mr Shiro Tatsuko. Because of that he was sent to a hospital for medical attention. During the assault Akira used forbidden by school regulations weapon “taser”. Apparently the taser malfunctioned or she used it wrong as Akira was also rendered immobile” Also other demon touch witnesses reported that Akira failed to do her duties as the demon church commands and refused to please Mr Tatsuko.” Principal spiderman finished

“Identify”

[Unable to identify targets higher then 15 levels than host]

“So the principal is at least lvl 18 and maximum of lvl 23” concluded Akira

“Well for the second part I think it is not Akira's fault. It is a condition that Akira apparently suffers and as the honorable deacon Frostbane discovered. We are lucky that he was nearby to confirm.”

“A condition you say. I have never heard of it but I am not a specialist of the matter” Principal said

“Well apparently it is rare but deacon Frostbane said it can be easily solved with just a single visitation on Friday”

“Hmmm so it is like a medical condition… Well I can’t really blame Akira for it then. That leaves the assault of a fellow student using a dangerous weapon”

“As far as I know taser is a self-defense tool and not considered a weapon”

“Huh I am not sure…” Principal was considering but not convinced.

“Can you call someone to ask about it” Hina

“Hmmm” The principal picked up his desk phone and dialed.

“OH hello Mr Okamura… yes I am fine thank you. See I have an issue here. Can you tell me about the taser? As a retired police officer you should be knowledgeable. Yes Yes…. I see. So is it considered as a non-lethal weapon by the police? I see. Well thank you for your time Mr Okamura.”

“Well?” Hina

“It is not a lethal weapon, as you said and it is considered relatively harmless” Principal

“So Mr Tatsuko is actually unharmed” Hina

Akira’s face for the first time showed surprise. She was looking at Hina amazed of her mother’s skills to lead the conversation in her benefit. It felt so nice that someone is doing something to protect her. Someone to lean on. The thought was warming, but it was not possible. Hina was brainwashed by demon spell, and will never be able to see the real situation.

“Well we don’t know that for sure” principal

“Do you have the name of the hospital?” Hina

“It is Mitoshi memorial, just a kilometer south of here.”

“Would you call them and check the Mr Tatsuko's condition?” Hina

“Huh I can, and as the responsible principal it is my duty as well”

Principal searched at a pile of cards on his desk and then dialed the phone again.

“Hello, It is principal Abe from Shinju high school. I am calling to check the condition of a student…… Yes doctor. That is great news, we will be expecting Mr Tatsuko tomorrow at school thank you”

“I believe Mr Tatsuko is well and unharmed”

“It appears so” principal

The principal was now looking not so confident and was pushing his glasses often.

“It still doesn’t change the fact that Akira attacked Mr Tatsuko unprovoked”

Hina knew her daughter well, she is an airhead and glutton, but she is not a bad person. She will never do something like this without a reason, even to go all her way to acquire a taser.

She looked at Akira watching for her daughter's reaction.

“Unprovoked you say” Hina

Akira kept her face stone cold but a slight twitch of her eye told Hina everything.

“Akira, dear can you please tell Mr Principal and Okasa why did you hit Mr Tatsuko with the taser?”

Akira was quick to pick the ball. The acting trait kicked in….

“Tatsuko is a not a kind person. He likes to hurt women. He hurt me badly Okasa, he squeezed my breasts with his hands. What if I cannot have children anymore because of that, Okasa.” Akira was sobbing and hiding her eyes with her palms.

“Women giving birth to many children is one of Great commands of the demonic church and the wish of the great demon Lord Voldemort” stated principal

Soon Akira continued her performance:

“It was so painful Okasa, and I was scared. My hands just moved, I didn't want to hurt him, I don’t want to hurt anyone. Akira eyes watered and hugged her mother’s chest crying loudly.

“Woahaa, I was so scared Okasa” Akira kept sobbing in her mother’s embrace” an Oscars winning worthy of performance.

At this moment the principal was at a loss of words….

And Hina pressed in offensives:

“You know my husband Hiro Ryu is at a high position of Hoshimura securities”

“Aren’t they a subsidiary of the demonic church” now principal looked distressed, touching his glasses often…

“Yes, my husband has many connections with the higher ups in the church. How will he react when he finds out his only daughter was assaulted with the risk of her becoming infertile”?

“Co.. connections?” principal’s voice faltered

“This school is receiving a great deal of support from demonic church for the “dropout “ project, doesn’t it?

Principal was sweating heavily.

“She nailed him!“ Akira smiled discretely

Hina reduced the pressure striking for a deal:

“I admit what Akira did was wrong and a punishment should be applied, but considering the circumstances it should not be so strict. What do you think principle Abe?”

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“I agree, you are right Mrs Ryu. A suspension for a week is my proposal”

“No!” Hina

“No?!?”

“Are you an expert of demonic church blessings principal?”

“Of course not”

“How do you judge how much time Akira will need to restore her faith in the great demon Lord?

“Well ahmm... oooh, what do you propose Mrs Ryu”

“An allowed leave from school until Akira is fit to go back and I will be the judge of that” Hina

“But of course, of course” Principal started to write something and put a stamp on a paper

“Here Mrs Ryu, I haven’t put the return date, so you just to fill it in when the time comes and bring this document to the school”

“You have made a wise decision principal Abe, have a good day” Hina bowed, took Akira’s hand and left.

They walked to the exit. Akira was feeling itchy, the feeling to have someone to rely on like Tom used to have with Caroline.They passed by the hall with the "public service" wall. Two people were mopping the traces of mass orgy from the floor and the bench. Soon they were out on the school yard. It was mostly empty aside from the class having some sports session.

Near the gate Akira saw a couple sitting on the bench,the girl was doing a mouth service. Akira stopped and Hina asked:

"What is wrong little, bunny?

Akira pointed at the sex scene:

"Don't you think something is wrong?"

Hina looked at them and said.

"I don't understand Akira, please explain"

"If you can't see it then It can not be helped" Akira shook her head solemnly.

"Please Akira, I am your mother, you are the most important thing in my life. I want to help you, but I can not do it, if I you hide what is happening to you".

Akira still shook her head in denial.

"I, I really need you to trust me, Akira. Please... Please, do not shut it inside and deny my help" Hina was shedding tears already

"Okasa, I know.. I know you love me... I wish I could tell you what is going on. To have someone to rely on, it is precious" Akira was also looking disturbed now

Hina looked at Akira's eyes for few moments, like trying to read Akira's mind:

"You are in pain, I can see it, You are suffering ...How could I have missed that. I am a terrible mother" Hina

Hina hugged Akira and said:

"I wish you can trust me, I wish you just give me a chance to prove my love to you, my precious little bunny girl"

"Okasa.. I... I don't know. What if the world you know happens to be so wrong, so bad, so evil. And the thing that makes you see it in its full glory of horror - will be me... Will you still love me?" Akira

"I will never stop loving you, dear. Never, no matter what!" Hina said with a determined eyes. And Akira saw it. Hina's love was unconditional, unbreakable, unshakable....

"I will try Okasa, I can not guarantee, but I will try to make you understand what is going.. I need some time to think first, there must be a solution...

They moved to the bus station and later arrived home.

Akira went to her room and dropped the dreaded school uniform. She put a t shirt and shorts and laid on her bed hugging Hoshi.

"You wont abandon me Hoshi? You are my guardian dragon" Akira

This school experience was the worst, yet I am grateful to you, Kornelius and okasa for being there in my lowest moments. Akira was talking to the plushie dragon

"Hey Kornelius, I am grateful for what you did for me at school" Akira

"Ah don't mention, I have nothing better to do really". Kornelius

"That is kind of sad you know?"Akira

"What are you talking about?" Kornelius

"Ah nothing nothing" Akira smiled and shook her head

"So, Kornelius if I wanted to remove my mother's miasma affliction what is the best approach?"

"Well it is obviously a demonic spell. You need a spell or skill to fight it. Mundane things will not work." Kornelius

"How about your "lesser holy light spell"? You said it can remove some minor afflictions?"

"It is unfortunate, but I can cast a spell only to you via the dual link. I won't be able to cast it over Hina. Unless the spell has the so called "aura effect"

"What is it?"Akira

"Imagine If the holy light spell had the aura effect then it will heal you slowly over time unlike the almost instantaneous current version" Kornelius

"So what is the benefit of the aura effect? " Akira

"Once I cast an "aura heal" on you. You will become the epicenter of the healing aura spell for the duration of the spell" Kornelius

"And if Okasa is close nearby, she will be affected as well. " Akira finished Kornelius's thought

"You are a genius Kornelius!" Akira

"hehehe, I will need to visit the great library. Now that I know the specifics of what I am looking for it will be easy to locate the proper books. The healing spells have massive branching tree and many paths to upgrade the spells further"

"Great, many thanks partner" Akira

"I am on my way, catch you later Akira" Kornelius

"Hmm" Akira pondered for a moment and moved out. She could explore some of the house now. On the same floor were her parents bedroom and another one probably a guestroom which apart of the furniture was empty. She explored her parents room, but found nothing of interest, some jewelry and trinkets belonging to her mother, different clothes - male and female. She went down the stairs and met Hina entering house from the garage and wearing a large basket of laundry.

"I am going to hang on the laundry at the backyard. Will you give me a hand?" Hina

"Ah I am kinda of busy at the moment" Akira

"But, of course you are! Lunch will be ready in an hour. I am making some wafu pasta." Hina shook her head and left to the backyard.

Akira entered the guests living room. It was spacious, luxurious with a lacquered wood furniture covered with high quality leather and textile. Akira stoped staring at a 1,2 meters Japanese stile sword displayed on a special cabinet along with its sheath.

"This must be a replica" said Akira and glided her finger over the katana's edge. Well it wasn't, and a small cut appeared.

"Ouch! It is as sharp as a razor!" Akira sucked her injured finger, tasting the blood leaking.

Soon the blood leak stopped.

"Here you go my new body powers. Yahoo" Akira pumped her fist up and giggled.

There was another door which happened to be unlocked. She found herself inside a medium size study room, probably her father's office. There was a desk, a shelf with some books and cabinet with pictures and various alcohol bottles. She moved around to explore. On the desk she found some papers, mail and documents. She sat on the comfortable office chair and begun to examine their contents. Notes,reminders, pay slips for shipping cargo to and from Kyoto. The recipients: the demonic church and "Hoshimura securities". The company employing her father.

"Frostbane said they have problems of receiving blessings aka demon larvae from Kyoto" It seem the demons have some troubles there. Could be internal dispute or conflict?

"Anyway it looks that the demon church is using high security transportation using father's company cervices. Hmm, it sounds logical, demons would not be willing to lose their precious babies on a random chance. Blaghh, disgusting!"

"But here is another mysterious thing - many pay slips indicate secure cargo shipping from Tokyo to Kyoto. Could be anything, but it is worth digging further, my guts feeling is telling me something".

Akira tried to open the desk's drawer, but it was locked.

"It looks like a simple lock".

She rushed out and returned shortly with her multi tool and the knife. It took her 5 minutes to figure out how to unlock it.

There was a pile of cash in a large bundle of many thousands of Y. Akira thought for a moment and snatched 200Y.

"Father is rich , he wont even bother with some pocket change".

There was a map with a marked location for the next 2 years pick up point. The mark was in the suburbs of Tokyo and indicated a Huge demonic church property. Another interesting fact was that the documents mentioned an authorized pass requirement for entering the compound. Akira wrote down the adders for further consideration. Then locked the drawer and left the room.

Just on her way back to her room she received a pleasant surprise:

[body/soul synchronisation detected 91->94%]

[soul +5]

"Woah, more free stuff. This must be the effect of traits assimilation. Akira laughed

level 2 strength 10 swiftness 10 vitality 10 intelligence 10 soul 26 mana 260/260 mana reg 2/min SU 1230 HP 100/100 Y 274

"Hmm. With that much mana I can one shot kill a lvl 24 demon and still have a 20 left. The mana regeneration still sucks. I will need 130 minutes or 2 hours to get back to full mana. But if I get to lvl3 I will have 36 soul and 3 mana/min regeneration. Gotta consider this mana management better"

"System how much SU I need for lvl 3?"

[next level requirement: 2000 SU]

"Akira lunch is ready, come down" Hina shouted from downstairs

"Oh lunch nice, my stomach was starting to complain". Akira massaged her tummy

"Coming Okasa" Akira grabbed Hoshi and rushed downstairs guided by the delicious food aroma.
