Two pairs of shimmering black angel wings hovered above the Avatar of Envy.

"I thought you said you two would settle this via a QUIZ, not violence. You've taken it too far. You could have killed our exchange student. Calm down, Leviathan." the voice echoed in a low voice.

"Wh-?! L...Lucifer...." Leviathan breathed, his angry expression turning timid. Everybody was shocked— not even Asmodeus could make commentary on that.

"You've crossed the line, Leviathan! I want you to go back to your room and cool off right now. Additionally, you are banned from playing video games, watching any sort of anime, and buying merch for a week," Lucifer instructed. He looked over his shoulder as he watched Asumi trudge weakly toward him. She found herself inclosed in his wings.

Leviathan went silent. He looked at the floor in guilt. "You heard your brother, Levi?" Diavolo said sternly. "Mmh... Y-yeah.. I'll go," Leviathan murmured as he was released and fled from the Assembly Hall.

Barbatos, as well as Mammon and Beelzebub, ran toward Asumi's body. "Oh, my Diavolo! Asumi, are you okay?!" Beelzebub cried. "Yeah, yeah! I-I'm fine, I just-" Asumi gasped.

By the time they got to her, the energy had completely left her body and she fell to her knees, completely exhausted somehow. Who was that who spoke to her? Did nobody else hear it? She snapped back to the pain and felt like she couldn't move. She groaned in discomfort as she tried to get up. "Agh-!" she choked. Lucifer followed Asumi to the floor. "Asumi!" He gasped suddenly.

Mammon screamed, catching Asumi before she fully hit the ground. "Kanesaka! Hey, wake up!" he cried.

Barbatos quickly unbuttoned Asumi's uniform to find a swelling purple and blue bruise on the left side of her chest. Lucifer's face scrunched up at the sight of the unsightly injury. "Hmmm... It seems that the impact of that punch gave Asumi quite a damaging bruise. I'm surprised it didn't cause a rib fracture, though. Asumi must have some really strong bone structure. She's fine by the least," Barbatos stated.

"What do we do?" Mammon asked.

"Well, first off, we have to carry her home. Beel, you'll be in charge of that. Mammon, you and Satan will use the medicines I will bring over. When she wakes up, I suggest a bowl of Vjedogonia Bile Soup to replenish her strength," Barbatos instructed.

Satan approached Lucifer as he watched him stand up. "So, it's been ages since we've seen you leap to someone's rescue like that," he said. "And what of it?" Lucifer replied. "Nothing. I'm just saying," Satan chuckled. "Well, if Lucifer didn't step in, Asumi would have been dead and this whole program would have failed," Diavolo stated as he walked towards the two.

"True, but you know, Lucifer, I've noticed you two are quite friendly with each other," Satan nodded, "is there something that you aren't telling us?"

"Ohohoho! That's new," Lord Diavolo squealed. "Don't be ridiculous!" Lucifer responded and watched Beelzebub, Barbatos, Belphegor, and Asmodeus bring Asumi back to the House of Lamentation. It seems like Asumi would be waking up in a lot of pain. Mammon stood back for a bit while looking down.

Lucifer folded his arms. "It looks like there's something you want to say, Mammon," he said. His younger brother flinched. "N-no, I don't wanna say nothin'..." he muttered before he went to catch up with the others.
