Demonic Beast

Unknown location~

A magic circle appeared suddenly inside an abandoned building. And a young man with following black hair and scarlet eyes appeared.

"Hmm...I'll just travel around randomly. I don't know where is this since I teleported randomly." Raizel muttered, he was currently using his transformation to appear as his older self.

He looked around for a bit before deciding to go out of where he currently is. After he got out, the sunlight hit his face. Then a smile appeared on his face.

'I should be far from a city as the air here is clean. So this could be the countryside. But what country am I in though?'

While thinking, Raizel didn't just stand there. He was using his aura detection and looking around the place. Of course, he also walked away from where he was previously.

"Hm?!" Raizel looked in a certain direction. He detected someone there, that person should be fighting something as he also felt an aura of a demonic beast.

Raizel didn't think further and teleported there. Arriving in the air where he felt the person and demonic beast fighting, he saw a beautiful young foreign girl with blonde hair and sky blue eyes, she also appears to be tge same age as him which is 8 years old.

'Though...this is not even a fight, she probably just awakened her sacred gear.' Raizel thought as he saw that the girl can make some swords which she uses to attack the demonic beast in front of her.

Although she could block some attack of the monster, she was also hit by some. Her body was full of wounds now, she was bleeding too. At this rate, she would die of blood loss so without further thinking, Raizel decided to intervene.

He swiftly appeared in front of the girl and turned towards the monster. The monster was a demonic boar which is just a low-class monster.

In Raizel's words, it was an oversized boar. It stands at 2 meters in height, with a big body. But this kind of monster can't possibly compare to Raizel.

"Die." He said in a low voice and used his Aura to attack the poor beast. He turned his Aura into spears and skewered the demonic beast.

After dealing with the demonic beast, Raizel turned towards the girl and cast a healing spell on her which healed her wounds.

"There...you're healed now. Can you tell me your name? By the way, I'm Raizel nice to meet you." Raizel smiled towards the girl, while the latter was a but daze seeing his smile.

Raizel was now in his adult form so... it's kinda to be expected. But Raizel forgot about that matter. The girl snapped out of her daze after a few moments.

"I'm Jeanne, nice to meet you too Raizel. And thank you for saving me." Jeanne said

While Raizel was surprised as he didn't expect to meet a future member of Hero Faction. As for why he was sure, it's because he knew that the sacred gear she used earlier was blade blacksmith and the swords she used were holy swords.

If you add all that up, you can also arrive at that conclusion. But his surprise wasn't shown on his face, he just extended his right hand to help her stand up.

Jeanne accepted it and grab his hand then stood up. But then, she saw Raizel looking away from her. She was confused and asked curiously.

"Why are you looking away from me?" She asked, Raizel didn't turn his head and used his powers to create a brand new clothes which replaced what she currently wore.

After that, he finally turned to her. "There, I changed your clothes. Earlier, your clothes were damaged which showed a lot of your skin, so I looked away. I wouldn't want the FBI to come knocking on my room after all." Raizel joked a bit before chuckling.

When the realization hit Jeanne, her face blushed. Of course, she was already aware of those kinds of things. She's more mature for he age, and she was taught early.

"But, why were you fighting that demonic beast?" Raizel asks curiously, to which Jeanne showed a sad expression.

"...It's because I was thrown out of the orphanage I was previously living in. Since I awakened this power of creating swords, I was cast out just this afternoon. And coincidentally when I was wandering around in this area, that thing you call demonic beast attacked me. I didn't know what to do but I force myself to fight using my power." She explained, after which Raizel just sighed. There are many cases like this where someone who awakens a sacred gear would be cast out.

But that's the best scenario, while the worst-case scenario is being outright killed on the spot. It is harsh but at least she was alive right now.

"I see...I understand your circumstances..." Raizel said before suddenly thinking about something, but he hesitated for a bit. "You don't have anywhere to go right? How about you go with me, any way you will die if I left you here," he said

Jeanne was shocked after hearing what he said, but she thought about it. Certainly, if she was left alone, there's a high chance she would die.

And he also saved her once already, what worse could happen to her. Besides, it's not like she has anywhere to go so the best choice for her is to follow someone. And who's better than the person who saved her already.

And also, she looked at Raizel's face 'He's so handsome kyaa!' She screamed in her mind.

"So, will you come with me?" Raizel said before thinking, 'That sounds like a proposal right!' but then he shook his head to get those thought out.

"Alright, I don't have anywhere to go too." She replied, which made Raizel smile again.

'I think if I train her and teach her the use if her sacred gear, she could be a strong member for the group I'm planning on creating. And if I remember correctly, Cao Cao also recruited her in a similar fashion like I did here. Maybe he saved her too and then invited her to join his team.'

"Very well, then let's go" Raizel said to which she nodded. Then he teleported them back to Grigori.
