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 me for a while before her departure. It was almost amusing, considering her new job didn’t commence until after classes were over.
She, just like me, had idle time 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 some 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 streamed in, casting patterns of light and shadow across the room. The quiet hum of the infirmary settled over me, and the only interruption was the occasional distant chatter from the hallways. It was a moment 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 me, 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 seemed like a decent idea to get some 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 immensely risky. Sure, I could slink off to remote areas, but those pesky mortals had their satellites. The sunlight made me 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 some shut-eye. Puriel wouldn't be able to kill me, 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 moment, I assumed 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 schemes, 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 me, so it was clear they were here simply for snacking.
“Relax, doc. We won't make any noise or make a mess," Ion chimed in with a mischievous grin, trying to reassure me. But knowing Ion, that promise was dubious at best.
Darren promptly grabbed a seat and lounged comfortably. "So?" he prodded, looking at me 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 chimed in, echoing the sentiment. "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.
