The shaman swings again, releasing a sharp gust of wind. Jirou managed to dodge the attack and proceeds to lunge at him. The shaman blocked Jirou's attack once more.
"I will never let a Jinn like you roam around the streets." The shaman said to Jirou before attacking once more, releasing another wind slash and went around Jirou's back and slashes once more. Jirou managed to dodge the first slash but the second one hits him.
"Fuck... I got hit." Jirou checks the injury and looks back at the shaman. "What the hell are you talking about...a Jinn? Me? Have you hit your head?"
Jirou pointed at the shaman. "Listen here, you sick piece of shit! You just wrecked my place, attacked me, and now you're accusing me of being a Jinn? I'm not letting this go!" Jirou then lunges at the shaman, the shaman tried to deflect the claws but it still managed to slip and hit him.
The shaman holds his wound and jumps off the rooftop, landing on another rooftop of another building. Jirou follows in pursuit.
"Come back here scumbag!" Jirou yelled, but the shaman swings another wind slash towards Jirou. The slash missed Jirou by an inch, Jirou then lunges further and blocks the shaman's path.
"You got no where to go now asshole." The shaman then used the same move he did on Jirou earlier. But Jirou managed to dodge all the wind slashes this time.
"This Jinn is smart..." The shaman said before jumping inside a building. "Ugh...This guy keeps on running!" Jirou followed inside the building but was met with 6 slashes coming towards him. He managed to dodge two but unfortunately the other four was a direct hit.
"Shit..." Jirou collapsed on the floor, holding his wounds. The shaman walks up to him and looks down on him. "I shall now exorcise you, Jinn." The shaman then proceeds to try exorcising Jirou...but nothing's happening.
"Huh? Am I doing something wrong..." The shaman scratches his head in confusion. "How are you withstanding my exorcism! I'm the son of the strongest shaman! How-" Jirou then cuts off the shaman, having enough of this bullshit.
"MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NOT A JINN! YOU MORON!" Jirou then stood up, dash towards the shaman holding his neck. "Now speak up...who are you and what do you want..."
The shaman was shock of Jirou's speed, them he speaks in a lower tone. "You better get your hands off me..." Jirou scoffs giving him attitude. "Yeah right, not until you answer my damn questions..."
The shaman, cornered. Decided to give Jirou answers. "Ok fine... I'll answer your damn questions. Just...get your hands off my neck."
Jirou pulled his hand back reluctantly. "Speak up."
The shaman then sighed in relief before speaking. "I'm Shinji Irose, a Shaman. And I'm here to exterminate entities like you...a Jinn." Jirou tilts his head before speaking. "Jinn this, Jinn that. I already told you, I'm not a Jinn. I'm human." Shinji looks at Jirou in disbelief. "You? A human? Yeah, right. No human can turn their own blood into claws and move as fast as you did."
"I...well, You got a point... But! That doesn't mean I'm a Jinn. I'm a human with...abilities, like you." Shinji stood there and connected the pieces together and realizes why the exorcism didn't work. "You're...Human." Shinji then sweats a little and scratches his head. "My apologies...it seems like I got ahead of myself and...attacked you without identifying you first...hehe..."
Jirou pushes Shinji aside and heads back to his ruined place, he turned back to Shinji with a irritated look. "Follow me...I need to know more about this abilities and stuff."
Upon arriving to the now ruined apartment, Jirou takes out some first aid from his wrecked cabinet and patches the two of them.
"So, Shinji. How much do you know about these abilities" Shinji winces as Jirou continue wrapping his hand. "Well the basic knowledge about these abilities came from something calledSeal and Deal. Basically, you get abilities by making a deal with a supernatural being... for example, I'm currently in a Seal and Deal with Aeolus, the Wind god of Greek mythology. In exchange, he get to take 5 years of my lifespan... So I can use those wind abilities on you earlier."
It took a minute before Jirou processed all the things he just learned, Seal and Deals, Exchange and Abilities... "So abilities is gained from this thing called a Seal and Deal? Then that means anyone can just make a Seal and Deal and just gain powers?"
Shinji corrects Jirou, explaining further. "No...not really, you can only make a Seal and Deal with a being, when you have a strong connection within the spirits. Like me, a Shaman. It's easier for me to convince Aeolus to make a Seal and Deal with me. For your situation though, what are you really?" Shinji asked Jirou, curious about how Jirou is able to use abilities and also curious who he made a Seal and Deal with.
"I'm completely human...with abilities." Shinji raised his eyebrows before asking. "What being have you made a Seal and Deal with then?" Jirou scratches his head before speaking. "Do you know a being called Deity?"
"Deity? I don't think I've heard that specific name of a being..." Shinji checks his journal and looked for a being named Deity. "Yeah... there's no Deity in here...are you sure that's what's the being is called?"
"Yeah... I think so, I mean...that's what he calls himself." Shinji checks the time and realizes how late it was. "I'm sorry...I gotta run, it was nice meeting someone that has abilities like me! I hope we meet again! And uh...sorry for wrecking your place! Bye bye!" Shinji then jumps off the broken window, leaving Jirou in his pathetic excuse for an apartment.
Jirou looks around and came to the conclusion that he can't sleep in a room with broken walls so he called Soji. "Hey Soji, trouble happened in my place right now. Can I crash at your place for a while." Soji answered with a sleepy voice. "Yeah...uh, just come here... you have the extra key so just lock the door once you come in...night..." With that Soji hanged up and Jirou made his way to his friend's apartment and slept on the couch.
The next day, Jirou was woken up by Soji's loud noises from the kitchen, making breakfast. "Hey! It's fucking 6 in the morning! You're loud as hell!" Soji flips off Jirou and continues cooking.
Couple minutes later, Soji served the two of them some burned eggs and bacon. "Eat up, and before you compliment my cooking skills...I know I know..it's exquisitely beautiful..." Jirou scoffs before speaking back. "Like hell I'll compliment whatever this shit is, a rat can cook better than your ass!"
"Hey! My cooking is an absolute banger! Stop bashing my culinary skills!" Soji retaliated.
A couple hours later, Jirou was walking outside heading to the convenience store. Then Deity spoke with no warning.
Kid... someone is watching us from above. Find cover. Jirou then cautiously looked around to find whoever was stalking him.,then a voice came from behind him. "Well well well, I didn't expect for a human to hold Deity's consciousness...I actually thought you'll have a much better vessel." Jirou turned his head back and saw a reddish pale figure standing before him.
"What the hell?" Jirou turns his hand to blood claws and gets in a defensive position. "Who the fuck are you?" The red being gave a smile before introducing himself. "I am Salarus, the Third of the Five Hell Commanders. And you must be Jirou Kamazaki, Deity's current vessel." Jirou backs a little hitting a wall. Deity then speaks to Jirou, warning him that this battle will be difficult.
This is not going to be easy, kid. This guy is a Demon... Not just any demon, but a hell commander. Jirou didn't back down and walks closer towards the demon. "Listen here, Salazar! I don't have time for your silly little chats, if we're going to fight! Just come down here and show me what you got!"
Salarus' smile fades as Jirou challenged him. "You piece of shit. My name is Salarus! Not Salazar! sigh. You're brave for challenging me head on, I'll give you what you ask for...just don't expect me to go easy~"
Salarus charges at Jirou within a flash, Jirou didn't even realized he was already bleeding from a slash from Salarus. "Still standing eh? This will be fun~"
