CHAPTER - 80
One day later
Narrator: While Dav and Salomon kept trying over and over again, Azrael called the academy to ensure his children would be accepted.
After a long, shrill beep, Vice Director Rugerus Andreas answered.
Rugerus: (With the phone to his ear) Dav De Lion Academy, who am I speaking with, sir/ma’am?
Azrael: (Not understanding Italian) I am Azrael Kingsley.
I would like to enroll my children there.
Rugerus: (Struggling) Sorry, I… I can’t understand you…
(Using a few words in English) Wait a minute, another person will talk with you.
[Rugerus calls the director on his personal phone.]
Rugerus: Director, can you come to your office? It’s urgent.
A man speaking in English is saying something, but I can’t understand…
I only caught "Azrael Kingsley."
Director: I’m coming!
[He arrives in the office, slightly out of breath.]
Director: Is he still on the line?!
Rugerus: Yes…
Director: (Taking the phone) Good morning, I’m the director.
Go ahead.
Azrael Kingsley: (Tired from waiting) Can you understand me?
Director: (Recognizing the voice) Yes, no problem.
Please, speak.
Azrael: (Lying on a lounge chair, watching Dav from afar) Good morning, Mr. Director.
I apologize for disturbing you on a holiday, with the academy still closed, but I need to ask you something important.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Director: (Listening with anticipation) Please, go ahead.
[Azrael observes Dav with a smile from a distance.]
Azrael: (Smiling) My friend, Professor Dav, told me to ask you about transferring my two children to your academy.
Is that a problem?
Director: (Laughing) That bastard is there with you?
Azrael: (Curious) Yes, he’s many meters away, fixing something.
Did something happen?
Director: (Laughing) No, not at all.
Now I understand why that bastard woke me up at six in the morning to tell me he was leaving for a while! HAHAAH!
(Serious) Anyway, about your transfer request, there’s no problem.
You just need to send me copies of your children’s documents, a statement confirming the transfer, and I will call you once everything is processed.
Just hand everything to Dav, and he’ll bring it directly to the academy.
It will be an honor to have your children, Mr. Azrael Kingsley.
Azrael Kingsley: (Laughing) No honor, don’t worry! AHAHAH.
Dav will tear them apart so they can understand what it means to be Hunters! AHAHAH.
Now, I’ll get everything ready and send it through Dav-Mail! AHAHAH.
Director: (Laughing) AHAHAH! Have a good day, sir!
(Call ends) What a strange guy, but funny.
(Looking at Rugerus) What do you think?
Rugerus: (Leaning on the desk) Dav never ceases to amaze me.
Director: (Excited) At my age, I’ll finally get to witness a national tournament worthy of the name this year! I can’t wait, Rugerus.
- Hours later -
Azrael: (Sitting next to Dav) How’s it going?
[Dav, eyes closed, concentrates to avoid transferring too much soul energy.]
Dav: (Eyes closed, seated) So far, I’ve only completed two rings. There’s still the bracelet and your sword left…
(Shouting) Damn it! Couldn’t you have used a smaller sword?!
[Suddenly, a strong shockwave ripples through the air, the room trembles slightly, and… the connection is abruptly severed.]
Dav: (With a hand on his face, exhausted) Damn it!
That was the 86th attempt! Who the hell interrupted me?!
Azrael: (Laughing) AHAHAH! I’ll stay quiet now.
Salomon: (Suffering, lying on the ground) I’m dying…
- One hour later -
[Dav tries to concentrate again.]
Azrael: (Lying on the floor, bored) You know, it’d be nice if my kids went to the international tournament…
That’d be really nice.
[Dav ignores him, eyes closed, focused.]
Azrael: (Eating chips) If I’m not mistaken, you have a daughter you stole from Alistair…
Maybe my Lucas could marry her, and we’d become in-laws, huh? What do you think?!
Dav: (Shouting) I’d rather have her marry a demon than let her fall into your son’s hands!
It’s already bad enough I have to hear your complaints, imagine having you as my in-law?!
I’ll tear you to pieces if you go near my Elysia, you bastard!!
[An abrupt explosion shakes the room, severing the connection again.]
Dav: (Pale-faced, drained) See what happens when I talk to you, bastard?!
I’ll never finish if I keep giving you attention!
Azrael: (Amused) Then you’ll stay here with me and Salomon forever! HAHAHA.
Salomon: (Still on the ground, lifeless) …
Dav: (Shaking Salomon) One more push, old man!
We can do this!
(Looking at Azrael, eyes burning with determination) I didn’t want to use it…
You leave me no choice.
Azrael: (Feeling a sudden sense of dread, but not knowing why) What do you mean?!
Dav: (Deep breath) AAAAAAAAA!
(Shouting) ISABELLAAA! AZRAEL IS DISTURBING US!!
[A dark shadow suddenly looms over the room. The air grows heavy.]
[From behind the door, a chilling noise is heard—a sinister whisper.]
Azrael: (A chip falling from his mouth) Shit—
(Starts running) SHIT!!!
Isabella: (Appearing like a vengeful spirit) What’s wrong, little Dav? I heard Azrael was bothering you…
Where is that lazy man eating chips?
Dav: (Pointing) He’s there…
(Shocked) He ran away…
(Shouting) You cowardly giant!!
Narrator: When Isabella stopped calling Azrael "Darling" and "Dear" and started calling him by his name, it meant "death" for Azrael.
