Let's Survive.

Kadoc slowly got up and picked up the ball, keeping the leg that got hit off the ground before doing as he was told, doing what he’d seen others do as a serve towards the other. The ball made it over to the other with no issue, just had no power behind it. 

“Wow that’s. Pathetic actually.”

The ability to continue struggling was impressive at least, but honestly it was just a pitiable state to look at. At least the serve itself had a decent arc to it, or at least the makings of one if a semblance of strength was put into it. Pulling out his COMP, he pressed a button and a mid level healing spell was cast.

This time, however, the ball hit him in his leg, sending the boy to the ground with a loud gasp as well as another sound coming from his leg. He bit his hand to muffle the sounds that came out of him, one of pain and the other not so much. Those weren’t servants, what were they? He looked at the other for a moment before pulling his (now bleeding) hand away from his mouth. “… Not… bad…” He rasped. 

“Huh. For how frail and weak you are you’re taking this pretty well. It’s kinda gross actually.”

He considered using s Dia spell to keep the punishment going without trouble but honestly he worried for the poor kid’s health if he continued. For a minute he even thought he though the Death Clock form around the other’s head. Plus he was kinda supposed to be teaching, or at least that was how the conversation started.

BONK! The ball hit Kadoc right in the face, bouncing off and landing at his feet. He moved his hands to his face quickly, covering the bloody nose he now had. He looked at the other and tilted his head. “Ya know, that wasn’t nearly hard enough. Try harder next time.” His tone wasn’t even sarcastic. “And I’m pretty sure that second rule is fake but okay.”

>Let him go >Punishment Time >Long lecture

“Harder you say?” his eyes seemed to become stars as a dark, malicious grin enveloped his face.

“I want you to remember you asked for this as your life fades into the void beyond.”

With a snap, five dark holes appeared in the air around Kadoc. From each emerged an orange and blue starfish shaped demon with a large eye in the middle. Each simple floated there, yet in unison a glimmering disk seemed to appear in front of them. Another ball was soon in Kazuya’s hand, yet as soon as it could be seen in such, it was thrown with the force that, if put into terms he certainly had never heard of, it would be comparable to a Monstrous Strength beyond even the rank of EX+. With a Zandyne spell released from his hand at the moment of release to increase it’s speed further, it sped not towards the other boy but instead at the first of the demons. As the ball reached the demon’s flesh, the disk shown again, the spell Tetrakarn activating and reflecting it, doubling the force it had and launching it towards the next demon. Once more it happened, doubling again, and again, and again, and again. An already incalculable number in terms of raw power had now become 32 times stronger. The last of the demons had been angled slightly, so the ball was launched upwards, slightly back into Kazuya’s direction.

“Third rule of volleyball! This,” he said, jumping off the ground after the ball leaving a visible indent where he once was. If one were able to see close enough, they would see his fist had begun to glow a radiant light. Ah, as if the force already contained was not enough, the use of a Holy Strike was imminent. 

“You know, there’s something called ‘thinking out loud’? It’s not whining.” He grumbled back at the guy. “I’m trying to figure it out, and your smartass response is not helping.”

“Hmmm, I see your point but you know I still feel like you need to THINK FAST”

And as quick as he spoke, from beneath the cape that had to be terribly hot, a volleyball was thrown directly at the generic ‘written to die’ anime character looking person’s face.

“In the spirit of fun and sportsmanship, I hereby swear to,

Ah, the typical sort that thinks they’re the most famous force ever because they’re the biggest thing in their story. Sometimes Battler thinks it’s a blessing he came in contact very early with beings far beyond him or Beatrice, so he never fell for that trap.

“That’s what I mean when I say you know nothing! I have no idea what an Expanse or the Tower of Babel are, because they’re things from your multiverse! There’re several of them, of multiple levels of complexity! And there’re folks out there for whom your whole story, including this Great Will guy, would be literally nothing more than a small glass fragment or a book! I dealt with them before - and am only alive for a miracle!”

“The Expanse I could get but you don’t know the Tower or Babel??? The thing that caused the curse that split all of human language after the first civilization tried to climb to God? Man dude you’re either stupid or even more of a small fry than I thought. Alright, education time.”

As quickly as the Tower had appeared it went away, and was replaced by a smaller demon that handed Kazuya a pair of glasses that served no point other than to make him seems smart. Before he put them on, his eyes glowed yellow for a moment, causing a paralyzing sensation on the other man.

“*ahem* Now you may have noticed that you can’t move.This is temporary and is only for the purpose of the class. Let’s start from the beginning, the Expanse is what can also be called the Demon World, slightly adjacent to and intersecting with the Collective Unconscious, where all thought from all humanity takes form. It exists outside of the multiverse and connects all universes together. Within this space exists the Great Will, the great dictator of the multiverse. The Christian God in most universes is a fragment of him. Another fragment of him is the Kagutsuchi, which destroys and reshapes universes when it’s on the wrong path. Now, the Great Will is a bit above these beings in power, and that along with the host of Angels is what I fight, that all of existence may be free from His ‘guiding’ hand and have their own will.”

He took off the glasses, handed them back to the small Demon who disappeared soon after.

“Technically I count as a Great Will of a multiverse, so trust me when I say that you have no idea of what the hell you’re talking about. And I’ll care about my words when you give me reasons not to hurt you with them!”

“Nono, not a great will, THE Great Will. There’s only one. and you’re not it. It dresses better, as loathe as I am to admit. Have you ever been to the Expanse? Didn’t think so. Now then let’s deal with your insubordination. Since we’re on the topic of words,” he snapped his finger and a giant demon tower with eyes on it appeared in the air above him.

“Then I hope you’re also capable of preventing the tides from going crazy and swallowing us all or killing sea creatures. All while you’re not the sovereign figure responsible for this world in a metaphysical scale.”

“That sounds like alot of work and I’m pretty busy so I’m appointing you the Bel Army’s official Tide Keeper. Congratulations on your promotion.

Also don’t worry punching gods and taking their jobs is what I do it’ll be fine.
