Reborn as a Snake! (2.) [COMPLETED]

(61). - Troubleshooting at the Academy.

               As Yinyun laid there in the small crater, Ra picked me up from his shoulder, before lowering me down, kneeling himself before placing his hand onto the ground, with me standing in his palm, looking down at the defeated Yinyun, who was breathing heavily and panting while laying down in the crater. Gotta say, I expressed a LOT of Magical Energy in order to summon Ra this time around...

Around 50% of my Magical Energy just went poof as soon as the giant Egyptian God manifested, which left me only with around 20% of my maximum Magical Energy left. And incase anyone is too lazy to do the math, that is around 1,892,140 Magical Energy within the stat window.

That is quite a lot, but for the level of things I can do that requires a ton of magical energy, I do not believe it would be enough to drag out the fight any further. Although, it would be enough for a 'Serpents Wrath' execution which could easily scorch this place.

Yinyun eventually slowly rose up, her whole body trembling as the armour around her body fell apart and off of it, turning to dust as it did, only leaving the regular Yinyun in the crater, who even then, looked pretty beaten up and damaged quite heavily by the attack from Ra.
Had I not expanded 30% of my Magical Energy in the first 'Serpents Wrath' then perhaps that strike would have been enough to be fatal to Yinyun.

<Yinyun>;
"So.... This is... No, it's not your strength..."

She looked at the Egyptian God holding me in his palm, as it stared down back at her with a fierce glare from it's Hawk head.
Yinyun laughed lightly.

<Yinyun>;
"....It's your and his strength combined..."

She stated, before struggling to get back up onto her feet, her whole body simply trembling like crazy, to the point where as soon as she got up standing, she simply fell back down to her knees, coughing under her mask.

I simply continued staring at her with a serious and cold stare, not really feeling a hint of remorse for what the attack from Ra had done to her or her body. If anything, in my mind — she deserved it.

"What does the Hand Sons want with the Yiinao Magic Academy?"

I asked boldly.
Yinyun did not reply and remained silent, simply breathing heavily and panting as she slowly rose her head up towards me and looked at me through her mask. In that moment, I managed to spot a crack in Yinyuns mask, through which an absolute tiny hint of her real appearance behind the mask shined through.

I also could spot through that crack what seemed like a small part of red hair, which definitely made me a bit suspicious — however I did not say anything about it, as to not give away the fact that her mask had cracked... If she didn't already realise that.

Then, after a little bit, she exhaled.

<Yinyun>;
"What's it to you?.... Why do you actively go out of your way to get in the way of our business..?"

She asked, catching me off guard a little, as I replied with just a confused gaze and lifted an eyebrow slightly at her question. But before I could say any words, she continued.

<Yinyun>;
"I do not get it... You have so much power, you have access to the type of magic that this world despises and you've shown that you can be nothing more but a stone cold killer... So then why..."

She looked at me with a questioning, but at the same time sort of sinister gaze which shined through her masks eyes as well as the crack in her mask.

<Yinyun>;
"Why do you resist us?"

She then asked simply, coughing and collapsing down to her knees again afterwards. I remained silent. She actually.... Sort of made a good point. Why had I been fighting the Hand Sons of Tritery all this time? I've always in my mind thought of it as 'well, they're clearly the bad guys, so I should fight them not join them' — but... That's more or less everyones first thought.
