Seven Sins System Chapter 329. The Devil's Boring Morning
Azrael's PoV
'Ha... Finally, she's gone,' I thought. I let out a long, exasperated sigh, my thoughts drifting as I glanced at the closed door.
Puriel had left the room, but I knew she'd probably had her eyes on for a while before her departure. It was almost amusing, considering her new job didn't comnce until after classes were over.
She, just like , had idle ti to burn. That was why I had decided to bury myself in books, trying to blend in and appear like an ordinary mortal being.
As for Puriel, I couldn't fathom what she expected to glean from her watchful observation. It wasn't like I could frivolously unleash my Demonic Powers in this academy. I might be a devil, but I wasn't keen on causing chaos, especially when I was already embroiled in a substantial investigation.
Did she think I was so naive mortal teenager with no intelligence? Maybe she believed I'd create havoc for the fun of it, as if I didn't have bigger issues to deal with.
Sitting at the infirmary's desk, I found myself absently staring at the window. The morning sunlight stread in, casting patterns of light and shadow across the room. The quiet hum of the infirmary settled over , and the only interruption was the occasional distant chatter from the hallways. It was a mont of tranquility, yet it felt like an eternity.
Having finished my breakfast, I idly twirled the fork between my fingers. The tomato juice sat beside , and with a soft clink, I took a sip, the tangy flavor briefly awakening my taste buds. But beyond that, I was left with the silence and my own thoughts.
'I want to go for a walk…' I groaned inwardly, feeling like a whining child stuck in a tedious situation.
I idly entertained the thought of leaving one of my tentacles behind as I snuck out. It seed like a decent idea to get so fresh air, but even if I could take a stroll, I had to consider where on earth I could wander off to.
'Hunting?' I pondered, shaking my head. The notion of hunting in broad daylight with the sun blazing overhead felt imnsely risky. Sure, I could slink off to remote areas, but those pesky mortals had their satellites. The sunlight made more visible, and being spotted by one of the mortals' devices was a risk I couldn't afford to take.
Feeling utterly defeated, I slumped on the desk, letting out a sigh as I rested my head on the cool surface. My mind was wandering. The day felt sluggish and uneventful.
I closed my eyes, deciding to catch so shut-eye. Puriel wouldn't be able to kill , and I knew I was far superior to any other creatures around.
A short nap wouldn't hurt, I figured, especially since I had little to do and even less to worry about. So, with a resigned sense of calm, I allowed myself to drift into a much-needed nap.
The bell rang, signaling the anticipated break for the students. Startled from my light slumber by the sound, I blinked away the remnants of sleep and let out a sleepy yawn, stretching my arms upward as if to chase away the lingering grogginess.
For a mont, I assud I was alone in the infirmary, only to find an unexpected companion. Puriel lay sound asleep on one of the infirmary beds, the curtain drawn around her. There was only a small gap in the curtain, allowing us to watch each other.
I couldn't help but furrow my brow. I had honestly thought she was long gone, but here she was, making a return. Puriel was definitely back because she was bored, I was certain of that. I considered what mischief I could conjure up to disturb her or perhaps provoke her into annoyance.
Before I could execute any of my devilish sches, however, the trio strolled into the infirmary, each of them clutching a paper bag. My attention swiftly shifted from Puriel to the new arrivals, and my eyebrows quirked.
"Yahoo!" Barry's distinctive voice filled the room as he entered, and a grin stretched across his face. It was hard not to be amused by that kid.
"This is an infirmary, not a cafeteria," I reminded them, a hint of irritation in my voice. I was pretty certain those paper bags they were carrying weren't intended for , so it was clear they were here simply for snacking.
"Relax, doc. We won't make any noise or make a ss," Ion chid in with a mischievous grin, trying to reassure . But knowing Ion, that promise was dubious at best.
Darren promptly grabbed a seat and lounged comfortably. "So?" he prodded, looking at with a smirk. "Explain what happened between you and that paladin. We have heard everything," he teased, referring to the recent encounter that had caused quite a stir.
"Yeah," Barry chid in, echoing the sentint. "Loud and clear," he added with a lighthearted chuckle, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
"You were even willing to throw away Miss Julia for her," Ion teased, shaking his head in exaggerated disapproval.
