Chapter 42: Chapter 42 - Blood Help for Mikaela
Third person POV
But then, while trekking the area with his squad and away from the assigned squads of the Imperial Demon Army, the Tanjung Squad was scouring the area when they saw Mikaela struggling with thirst for human blood as a vampire. Mikaela, who was distraught and mentally unstable after the aura powers had worn off, was struggling to keep himself together. Basuki and Myeong were stunned to see him, but Atsushi and Saya were concerned for Mikaela. So, remembering what happened to him after he had drunk his blood, Atsushi stepped in, grabbed a dagger from his pocket, and made a cut on his left wrist to shed some blood for Mikaela, much to the shock of his guardian spirit and squad.
"What are you doing?" Myeong asked him.
"Don't tell me you're doing this for Mikaela-kun!" Saya added.
The others in the squad then looked at her.
"What?" Basuki asked her.
"There was one time when Atsushi-kun gave himself to Mikaela so he could drink his blood," responded Saya back.
"Wait, what?" Myeong asked back while looking at her.
Saya then nodded. "Yes, he did that for him."
Meanwhile, Atsushi pulled out a flask he brought with him from his school's laboratory and poured some blood from his cut on his wrist, before waving it at Mikaela to catch his attention. "Hey! Mika-kun!" The others were stunned at the next action, while Saya observed his doing. And then, Mikaela noticed that and charged at Atsushi out of thirst desperation. Atsushi, seeing that, then tossed the flask at him, and Mikaela luckily caught it and chugged down the little blood it contained. Atsushi's group watched in awe, while Atsushi was positive with confidence in helping out Mikaela.
So, as a result, Mikaela was now okay, dropping the small, glass flask to the dirty ground. But Atsushi managed to catch it before it broke. Mikaela's eyes turned red, and the blue aura power of Saya from Atsushi's blood was activated within his body, much to the shock of the others.
"Thanks, Atsushi-kun…" Mikaela looked at Atsushi in positive relief, "…you're the second human who was kind to me alongside Yu-chan…"
Putting his glass flask in his pocket, Atsushi replied back, "Yeah, I am happy to help."
"No way…" Basuki commented in shock while rubbing his eyes.
"Cool…" Kawah added.
"Outstanding…" Balam added as well.
"You were so kind to me, Atsushi." Mikaela started at Atsushi, before glancing at his squad.
Mikaela was a bit uneasy about seeing them, but Atsushi noticed that and calmed his nerves down before it got worse. "It's okay, Mikaela-kun, these humans are my friends, and we are neutral in this war between humans and vampires, okay?"
