Natsuki Subaru The Anti Knight

Chapter 7. Madness

It was now several minutes after the battle and everyone was preparing to leave in two teams. One group would head back to the capital for the wounded to take the White Whale's head with them. While the other group would go with Subaru and help fight the Witch's Cult. Crusch and Wilhelm finished a conversation with Subaru on allowing the soldiers and the Fangs of Iron to help him. 

Felix told Rem that she couldn't come along with the group because her injuries were to severe, Subaru walked towards Rem so she would listen to Felix, but she wasn't having any of it.

"Rem, Felix is right you need to rest and go with the other group."

"No! Rem wants to stay with Subaru-kun, So that way you won't get hurt! I can't bear it!"

At this point Subaru couldn't convince her otherwise so he came up with an idea. It was far fetched but it was worth a shot.

"Rem I need you to close your eyes ok?"

"Y-Yes..."

Subaru placed his hand on Rem's forehead and concentrated, he had better Ki control but he never tried using it like this, so it was kinda hard at first. But after a few minutes Subaru got the hang of it and transferred his Ki to Rem so she wouldn't overwork herself.

Rem felt like she was a new person, her mana reserves were completely restored along with her physical injuries, they weren't even there. Rem was good as new, she and Felix couldn't help but be shocked at this. Subaru was never a healer so the fact that he was able to do this shocked both of them. Especially Felix. 

"S-Subaru-kun... what did you do?"

"I used my Ki to heal you. So now you'll be able to come with us. To be honest, I didn't know I could do that stuff with Ki."

"Subaru-kyun is just full of surprises isn't he?"

Hearing this Subaru couldn't help but scratch his head from embarrassment, with that Crusch and her group left to the Capital. Subaru and Rem waved them off and the two met up with Ricardo, Mimi, and the other remaining Fangs of Iron members, as well as Felix and Wilhelm, as they were prepared to discuss the mission.

But Subaru noticed another group was coming towards them.

When they looked over, Mimi was excited to see that her other brother Tivey was coming, along with more of the Iron Fang members. But they also saw someone that angered Subaru and surprised Rem. 

"W...Why is he with them."

"Subaru-kun..."

Ahead of them was Anastasia's knight, the man that whooped Subaru's ass at the castle was none other than Julius, riding a radiant blue ground dragon. His eyes slightly narrowing at the sight of them.

Julius dismounted from his ground dragon and stared at Subaru and Rem, mostly Subaru he couldn't help but noticed some 'changes' to his body.

"I take it your doing well?"

"...Uh yeah totally! Nothing that a little spit and rest wouldn't fix. By the way, have you come up with an appropriate apology for going so rough on an amateur like me?"

"I was talking about your injuries to your pride for the subjugation. But I see you've been doing well since then."

The two laughed, though Subaru's was obviously sarcastic. Julius turned his attention towards Rem and she simply bowed with Julius returning the gesture. After Julius left Subaru let out a bemused sigh. 

The meeting proceeded with Subaru explaining the plans to take down the Witch's Cult and evacuate the villagers. The mood slightly changed when Subaru informed them that there was a Sin Archbishop amongst them. Things calmed down when they decided that Subaru and Wilhelm would be the ones to take him down.
