Chapter 67: New Friend

Orphen glanced out the window of his house. Grimm's demon friend Victor is still in front. It leaned against the tree and bent down as if thinking deeply. It cannot enter his house because of the spell protection he has placed against the demon. Orphen shook.

"What am I thinking? At first Grimm! Then, this one again! What is happening to me? Those are demons, and I am an exorcist." he said annoyed.

He suddenly remembered the crazy Clemen.

"If you trusted Grimm and gave him a chance, why not try this one too? You saw what happened, didn't you?"

He was shaken as he remembered what his friend had said.

"That one is really crazy."

He kept looking outside. It was raining hard but the man did not move. It's so wet. Victor rested violently and thought deeply. Now, he understands how Grimm felt then. The feeling that you have nowhere to go and you do not know where you should count. He was luckier because his ability woke up early. Because of that, he was included in one of the high rank demons. He knew he had done the right thing by disobeying Leviathan and he did not regret it. With its treatment of him and he only knows him when there is a need. But without it, he is like a creature that does not exist. His only purpose here is to be an assassin. And he wants to change that. He is tired. His wounds have healed. Grimm and Father Clemen invited him but he did not want to. It would be very dangerous for Grimm and him to be together in the same place. Another, he did not want to go with the Exorcist Priest. He was scared.

He is very jealous of Grimm now because he has many friends and many also love him. He smiled and gently clenched his fists. He stared at it. He also wants to experience the so-called love and affection. He wanted to understand why Gaunt went crazy like his father Belphegor said. How does it feel to be crazy with that kind of emotion? Is it really as happy as Gaunt told him?

He stopped at the thought of noticing that he was no longer wet by the rain. His whereabouts were also slightly dark. He frowned and looked up.

"You might get sick if I leave you here. Stand there and go inside the house."

Victor was a little surprised by what the exorcist said. He stared at his face.

"Tsk! Don't worry, I've removed the protection spells in the house. You can enter freely. Just, I remember what you said, I can enslave you."

Victor suddenly smiled and parted the strands of his hair that covered his face. He slowly stood up with a stance.

"Huh, you won't regret it. Thank you, master..."

"Nah, Sir is just okay with me." Orphen scratched his head violently.

"Honestly, I don't know if Clemen and I are doing it right. It can reject us as exorcists. But anyway, I don't care. Come on!" he is still a nanny.

Victor took a deep breath but did not speak. He just carefully followed Grimm's teacher. His friend's really lucky. They entered the house. He looked around. The thing is simple. Only now has he entered someone's house. And not just a person but an exorcist.

"I have some clothes ready there. Take a bath and get dressed. Then, we will talk in depth."

"Yes sir." he smiled.

He saw the clothes lying on the chair. He immediately took them. Orphen pointed in the direction of the bathroom and he immediately went there.

"I'm really infected with Clemen's madness. I can only have coffee!" Orphen just retorted.

He went to the kitchen and brewed coffee. He also mixed his new roommate in his house. He smiled when he saw the box that Grimm had left. It contains raspberry tart. Orphen was currently drinking coffee when Victor arrived. He stopped biting the tart when he saw the young man's body. It was full of scars and there was no space in its body. He looked at his neck and face. He guess, that's the only part that is smooth and without scars. That part of the body was obviously well cared for. That's why it was so wrapped up in its all black attire dress up to the arms. It has something to hide.

The man was wearing a green shirt and black shorts. Up to its feet and legs, the many scars that mark the blows of various weapons.

"Sit down. Let's have a snack while I ask you. "

He sat down and looked carefully at the coffee and food.

"Don't worry, it has no poison. I don’t kill in betrayed."

It drank coffee and bit into food. It was amazed to taste the tart.

"Delicious, isn't it? Grimm himself did that. I guess, almost every kind of bread he makes, is delicious. Except for what he called an explosion. I did not carry the taste then. Super hot."

Victor blinked and was amazed to see his companion.

"Grimm is baking bread?! And he did this?"

"Yes."

Victor smiled.

"By the way, why is the scar all over your body?" Orphen asked curiously.

"It's all a result of my training, especially the tortures of my creator Leviathan during times when I was useless. When I developed my skills, I became his assassin. That's all I can do for him."

Orphen nodded and drank coffee.

"Why did you disobey Leviathan?"

His companion looked at him seriously. It is far from their stupid impression. After all, the topic is serious.

"Because I know he will kill me too later. I just preceded him."

Orphen whistled at the answer he heard. Interesting...

"Uhum... Why do you have scars on your body, while Grimm is smooth?"

"Because he was made of pure demon. As for me, it was made from the ashes of a man who is said to be a slayer of demons. Leviathan killed that slayer and because that one is said to be strong... He made me instead of wasting its body. That's why at first, I no longer loved him. I heard all this once he and Beelzebub talked. He will kill me when I am useless. Victor was also the name of that slayer and he just followed my name to him. Therefore, I am very careful not to scratch my handsome face. Because this look will remind me that I am not really a demon... Man has a part in my personality. That's what made me so alive."

Orphen played with the mug he was holding.

"I have a question, why did you help me?" Victor.

Orphen slightly shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe I'm going crazy like Clemen. But because of what I found out, I think... I should help you. Did you know that because of what Grimm is doing to rebel in hell, everything becomes interesting? It's different from all the weird ones."

Victor bit into the food.

"I guess so. But this is all I can feel. By the way, what is love?"

Orphen almost choked.

"You'll know when you experience it."

"Is that so? Hmm... What if I also go to the school Grimm attends?"

"Huh?!"

"I can't just stock my beauty here. I used my mission to kill Grimm to get out of hell and to expose my beauty here on earth." at the same time peace sign.

Orphen bit the bread hard. It will only take a while to get serious. Hopefully, he can last. He wanted to regret the decision he had made but it was too late.

The next day Grimm entered early. He was not as late as before and he did not have to hide again inside the storage box.

"Uy! I guess you're early today?" Rodel.

"Yes, I’m not the one assigned to deliver pandesals this morning." Grimm replied with a smile.

"Why, you look happy ah?" Rey.

"Yes. Because Lola Epang cooked my favorite dish, Laing."

(Laing-shredded or whole taro leaves with meat or seafood cooked in thick coconut milk spice with labuyo chili, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, ginger and shrimp paste.)

"Nax! Let us have lunch this afternoon then." language by Salv.

Grimm frowned somewhat.

"That's why I bring a lot because I know, you also like it."

"There! That's why we love you so much!" Rey.

He went behind Grimm and massaged his shoulders. The latter just laughed. The teacher entered the classroom so everyone stopped talking.

"Good morning, Class!"

"Good morning, Sir Daniel!"

"Class, before I start class... You have a new classmate and he will introduce himself to all of you before we go to class, be kind to him and make friends."

Amaze that everyone looked at the door but everyone there only saw a shadow.

"Son, you can come in now."

After the teacher said that, Victor immediately entered the classroom. He turned to everyone and smiled sparingly. Grimm was shocked with his friends. They looked at the bracelet almost at the same time but it no longer glowed red.

"Wait, I'm sure he is the feeling demon that blocked us one day ah?" Ricky shouted.

"So that. I will never forget the look on that one. But is it any wonder that our bracelets no longer glow red? What happened?" Rey asked.

Grimm swallowed and thought for a moment.

"All I know is, Sir Orphen took him even though he is a demon, he is not bad but I did not expect him to come to this school and be our classmate." He said with hesitation.

"Yeah-"

Rodel could not continue his comment.

"Grimm and his troops! Stop your chatter there! Respect your new classmate!"

They stopped talking.

"S-Sorry, Sir!" Grimm.

The teacher turned to Victor.

"All right, you can introduce yourself to everyone."

"Okay."

Victor turned to everyone and smiled. His full attention was focused on Grimm's whereabouts with his friends.

"Good morning! My name is Victor Valentine..."

He simply comb his hair and smiled.

"I'm sixteen years old."

Grimm smirked when he mentioned age.

"Maybe unknown." he simply whispered.

And at least he was, he was really sixteen because he was born as a normal person.

"I know you are a bit distracted by my handsome face and I can't blame you. For girls, just take it easy and hold your hearts tightly. I don't want to drop those..." he winked at the girls.

It looked at everyone again.

"Just mention the word handsome... Just remember my name. Victor! Capital V!" He signed peace with everyone.

"And I want to say hi with my troops there! Hello, guys! How are you?!" it pointed to Grimm's group.

Friends were stunned and annoyed to look at Victor.

"Ah, that's why he is like that. He is friends with Grimm’s troops.”

Grimm’s friends smirked and looked at each other.

"W-When did he become our trooper? The way he speaks, he seems that he is already very close to us ah?!" Rodel's annoyed language.

They looked at the newcomer again. It smiled broadly at them and made them even more smirked.

"You can sit down now, Victor. The class is about to begin."

"Thank you."

He walked comfortably to the chairs. It chose the place near Grimm. He joined the group.

"Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!"

"TSE!" almost simultaneous language of all.

"Don't be like that. I'm just making friends."

Ricky stared at Victor intently.

"Stop it, we know what you are. You are a demon."
