DoD in Highschool (English)

Chapter 33

"What...?" Satan raised his head and stared at him. 
"I have no reason at all." Kenji showed a tiny smile. "You saved my life, didn't you? So after all.... I would have to thank you. Without you, I'd most likely not be here anymore. I heard what you did. That you donated me your blood in order to survive.", 
"Kenji...", 
"You don't have to apologize to me for what you are. Because I don't give a damn about that. We're friends, remember? And there's nothing in the world that could change that. So do me a favor and stop looking like someone's beaten you up, that's not like you."
Satan blinked in total amazement and couldn't help but keep his hands clenched to fist to prevent them from shaking. "K-Kenji, you..." As he stuttered, he startled and bit onto his lip. He acted totally pathetic. He caught Kenji's bright, carefree smile. "I don't reject you", he proclaimed with a calm, friendly voice. "To be honest, I think I'm lucky to have someone like you fighting for me and defending me like that. I didn't get everything that transpired... Just how you stood before me and changed your appearance... I saw how you charged at that thing before I whited out. So gimme a break from your negative thoughts and smile for me again, will ya?" 
Satan smiled. "Okay... But wait. You... saw the beast? I thought you couldn't...", 
"I didn't see it when you told me to run...", he admitted. "But I strangely enough was capable to see it after it hit me." He shrugged. "What was that thing, anyway?", 
"It's called a Honekraa... They usually can't enter town because there's a barrier between it and the woods... I have no clue how it was capable to come. Luc-... Kaito and I will investigate that.",
"Luc...ifer?", 
"... Yeah...", 
"So your brother is a demon, too?", 
"Yes..." Satan nodded dejected. "He is...",
"Äherm." Kenji cleared his voice. "Smile?", 
"Ah... sorry..." He let the smile return to his face. 
"Better. That's how I know you." Kenji nodded with satisfaction. "You know, a real friend stays by your side, no matter what. No matter who you are. People who leave you because of what you truly are never liked you in the first place. Even if they didn't know, they'd never jump a puddle for you, even if you were ready to cross an entire ocean for them. I am not talking about myself here." He pointed at Satan. "I talk about you. You don't just mess around with me because you profit from that. You do because you really are my friend. You protected me in great danger. That's why I won't play the asshole and give you the go-by only because you might not be human. You look pretty human to me. Not like a demonic beast or anything. You look like a human, even with those red eyes of yours.", 
"Kenji..." Satan's smile grew honest. "Thank you.", 
"Heh.... don't thank me for being grateful, okay? Raiden? That's stupid. I'll be better in no time, just watch me.", 
"Don't haste.", 
"Me? Never." He snickered and groaned. "Ow... laughing hurts with those injuries... Damn it..." He exhaled carefully and held his stomach. "Anyhow... What are you going to do now?", 
"I made sure you are okay. Kaito... I mean, Lucifer and I will find the reason why the monster was here in the first place and prevent them to continue coming. Stay in one piece for me, got it?", 
"You betcha. Watch me." He winked and waved. Doing so, Satan could see something glow on his wrist. A sign. "...? Hold on..." He stepped closer and grabbed his wrist. Kenji looked at him. "What's wrong?",
"This thing." He traced it with his finger. "... is that a crest...?",
"What are you talking about?",
"..." Satan narrowed his eyes. "...That thing on your wrist...",
"Huh?" Kenji took a closer look at it. "Uhm... That wasn't there before...",
"That's a magic crest, I'm certain of it..." Satan said.
"A what?",
"A crest. A magic seal.",
"What... exactly is this?",
"The crest is a sign of you bearing magic power within. Crests are... very rare, actually. Super rare. Only one in 10000 humans is born with one. Or 100000. I'm not so sure. Some humans are born with a crest, but it sometimes doesn't manifest...",
"Wait, wait. You're telling me that I wield some sort of power?",
"Yeah... You must've been born with that crest, but it didn't manifest up to now... maybe... it did because I gave you my blood. Demon blood.",
"I... can't quite follow you. What exactly does that thing do?" Kenji looked at the crest with visible concern.
"It enables you to use magic", Satan explained. "Well, magic is an ancient force that has existed ever since this earth was born. You can do extraordinary things with it. Like... controlling fire. Things that aren't normal. It once was normal to use magic... but later on, magicians and wizards were feared and burnt to death. That's why magic went... kind of extinct over milleniums. What a bummer. It still resides within some creatures on this planet tho. Demons, for example... and some humans. The Crest Bearers. Humans usually don't have magic you know. Only those who possess a crest can use it...",
"Really?" Kenji eyed the crest with widened eyes. "What can I do with this one?",
"No clue... Lucifer never saw this crest before in his studies... must either be one so ancient that it was forgotten... or one that has just recently developed. A modern crest, so to speak... but those crests radiate energy, energy that attracts demons and monsters... It's dangerous for humans who don't know how to use magic.",
"So... I'm in danger...?",
"... That's why you were able to see the monster after you got hit..." Satan mumbled. "Listen, I have a friend that can seal the crest's radiation without affecting it. I'll call him, a dude with red and blue hair.",
"Another demon?",
"His name is Agurith. You can trust him. I have to go now, tho.",
"... you overloaded my tabs..." Kenji said. "But, uh... okay... bye."
Satan waved at him before he turned around and left the room.
