Chapter 16: "The Assassin Who Would Be Blood Adopted"
Balam: (*surprised*) Wow.
Bachinko: (*surprised*) Damn Iruma.
Kalego: (*surprised*) Iruma... what are they doing here?
Soi: I called them here Professor Kalego, Iruma didn't do anything.
Ameri: We want to help Iruma with the ritual. As the student council president I want to ensure one of our former members will get through this process smoothly as do the rest of us members.
Alice: As his soulmate, I shall always be by his side!
Clara: And be sure to keep him safe!
Lied: So don't worry, we'll all be there to help him. Right guys?
Dali: And we teachers must look out for our students.
Kalego: (*whispers to Soi*) Do they even know why the ritual is even happening in the first place?
Soi: (*whispers back*) No sir, I made sure of that. Originally I was only going to ask President Ameri and the Misfit Class but... a lot of things got out of hand. But the more hands to help the magic support, the better chances Iruma will live.
Soi: (Not to mention how ridiculous it was from just a mere talk with the President ended up like this...)
Kalego: (*whispers*) I suppose that's true. I never seen the Blood Adoption ever had this many helpers before.
Kalego: (Not many demons are kind enough to help another demon go through such a ritual and the people who do normally die from magic imbalance. Then again, I suppose it's Iruma we're talking about here.)
Sullivan: I see we have more than enough helpers. Now then let's all go inside shall we?
Opera: (*already made the ritual preparations*) Kalego-. (*sees everyone come in*) Are they all here to help?
Kalego: Yes. Now let's not waste anymore time.
Iruma: (*looks to everyone and smiles*) No matter what happens today, I just want to say how grateful it was to met with you all. I'll always treasure our time together. (*looks to Professor Kalego*) Thank you, Professor Kalego for doing this.
Kalego: Iruma... You are the most troublesome student I ever met. But... I too am grateful to have met you. No matter what happens, I'll always be you father in the end.
Iruma & Kalego: (*walks into the circle as both of them cut both their palms and give each other blood ritual marks on their face to finally have both sides hold hands to connect the cuts together*)...
Sullivan, Opera, Bachinko, The Student Council, The Misfit Class & The Teachers: (*surrounds Kalego and Iruma outside the circle holding hands as they concentrate their power to the circle*) ...
Kalego: (*eyes closed*) Blood chains bound the other to me. Rise beyond destiny, change it to be mine. Let me take this one as my own, pour sins, power and darkness. Bear my family bloodline as your own and be reborn!
Iruma: (*opens their eyes to see themselves in a dark void*) H-Huh? Where... am I? Last I remember was... doing the ritual... Oh gods! Did I die just now?!
Iruma (Wicked Phase): Not exactly.
Iruma (Wicked Phase): Of course, I am a part of you. The same as those two.
Ali: Iru-boy, you finally woke up.
Delkira: Hello Iruma Suzuki, we finally get to meet.
Iruma: Wait a sec-! You're the guy I saw at the Harvest Festival! I wasn't hallucinating that!
Delkira: Yes, at that moment my soul connected with yours and I became a part of you. Allow me to properly introduce, I'm the former Demon King Delkira.
Iruma: D-D-D-DEMON KING?!
Iruma (Wicked Phase): Yeah, it's better to not mention it to the others about this. Well maybe the old man and that Poro guy.
Ali: True. But even still all 4 of us won't see each other again afterwards.
Ali: This is a blood adoption ritual, meaning you'll be having Demon DNA and magic stored into your body, essentially becoming a half demon. Well, me, Irumean and Delkira are made of demon magic, so we'll be combined with that magic. The ring will break and all four of use will be one whole being.
Iruma: So you'll be gone forever, Ali...
Ali: Not in a physical sense, but we'll be fused, so we'll always be literally together. You'll have my abilities, gain Irumean's phase and personality as well as Delkira's power and memories.
Iruma: The Demon King's... memories?
Iruma (Wicked Phase): (*all four are fading*) Looks like we're out of time.
Delkira: Iruma, I know we just met each other and haven't really bonded as much but can you promise me something before we all say goodbye?
Delkira: Tell Sully I'm sorry for putting him through so much. And tell Poro that I was happy to have spend my musical days with him.
Iruma: ...Okay, I promise.
Ali: Farewell everyone. It was nice to see you all.
Iruma, Iruma (Wicked Phase) & Delkira: Goodbye.
Kalego: (*shaking Iruma's lifeless body*) Iruma! Iruma! Wake up dammit! Son! I'm sorry! Just dammit! Wake up and tell us your okay!
Iruma: (*the ring breaks as Iruma's body begins to glow intensely with magic*) ...
Kalego: What's happening?!
Sullivan: The ritual... has been completed.
Sullivan: You guys did everything correct, the only thing to hope was that Iruma's soul was strong enough to handle the ritual. And now he's going the through with the rest of the transformation.
Iruma: (*grows two sets of black feather wings faded with dark blue to purple, his hair and eyes is also slight faded to purple, with the eye shape now like a demons with black tattoos covering most of his body, and his ears and teeth are now slightly pointy too*) RAWWWWWWRRRR!!!!
Sullivan: (This power... is that...)
The 13 Crowns & The 2 of the Three Heroes: (*also sense Delkira's power in Iruma*) W-What the-?!
Poro: (*elsewhere as he senses Delkira's power inside Iruma*) D-Delkira?!
Iruma: (*magic finally subsides and Iruma falls back asleep in Kalego's arms that caught him, with the wings going back into his new wing roots and the tattoos disappearing*) ...
Kalego: Rest son... You did a great job today...
