## Meeting

Now just upon walking around the place, he seemed to be lost himself. Just feeling the breezes of the air that is hitting his body. He was feeling more prepared than ever, He was unaware with the presence that is soon to come. He was grinning remembering the good times even though he was in a location where it would probably matter less. Placing his hopes towards a tomorrow he could look forward to. Junpei just placing his hands on his pockets just feeling oddly relaxed even though his body is even hot. He was amazingly at ease. Mumbling these words to himself.

"Now, How about something to spice things up. Hmm, I dunno about it. I am lost."

"Lost?" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice spoke to Junpei. Oddly enough, the sudden voice did not include any surprise elements, as if the owner of the voice has been there all along. The voice's owner tapped the young man's shoulder. When Junpei turned to see whoever this person that has greeted him, he was presented with the face of a young man, fair and clean. His white hair slightly reflected the lights, and oddly enough, he's wearing something that does not fit with the word 'beach' at all: white shirt, necktie, long sleeves, all wrapped in a sweater. With a friendly face, he asked again, "I can show directions if you're feeling lost,"

"Well, In both ways. In the head and in directions on where I am at. So please do tell me where I should go." Not surprised by all of this he was keeping his cool, Just turning to the man who was wearing such a classical wear while Junpei was just wearing a jacket which has happened to be something casual that he always wear with pants. He was just seemingly keeping his own smile on his face. He knew that all that well that he doesn't fit in the beach vacation. He doesn't seem to mind any of what is going on. His day was getting much more interesting from here on out. Able to talk to a person makes him a tad happier because now he has something to look forward to. Now chiming or rather listening to him.

"Humu. I see." Nahemoth nodded while smiling. "Well, a direction huh. Certainly, I can give that." He walked past the boy in front of him. Tilting his head left and right, Nahemoth continued. "Well, well, what do we have here: an individual, mostly exceptional. There are too many talented individuals in their own right, but you, I see that you fit one requirement I seek."

He turned towards Junpei with his hands in his pockets. "This may sound stupid, but are you a magus?" Of course, that was a stupid question coming from him; he knew already.

"Fit huh? What are the categories you have for exceptional if you don't mind me asking?" He simply asked as he stopped for abit. Just allowing Nahemoth to go with his own question directing for now. He wanted to understand what was in his head for now since these requirement sounded like he wanted to go fit into a regime which he would be interested to sell for atleast some money. Maybe at the least.

Now this question should be obvious so he played on his own hand aka questions and replied in a quick fashion "Why yes, I am a magus why I may ask? You sounded like you would need something from me. Though I would like to know where I am getting into atleast." He meant that with the wording he was making it sounded like he was planning something ahead.

"I am merely confirming," Nahemoth sounds happy that he got his answer. "That is also the last piece of the requirement. A magus, strong in both mental and physical vigor. One that is quite worthy to hold a branch. However, there is still one thing I must confirm. Quality control is always necessary."

"That is," within the blink of an eye--not even a blink; as if he was always there, Nahemoth has landed his knee in Junpei's defenseless abdomen. "Practical observation."

Now upon just landed his knee on his abdomen, He grits his teeth as he tanked it holding his ground. He seemed like he had more experience with endurance training. Though there are room for improvement. He can still handle physical blows on the stomach as he mutters these words towards Nahemoth

"Opening luxuria archive executing my thema, Opening contingency level 1 Apollo fire formation." Magic circle formed around his arms and legs as immense heat were emitted by the arms and legs only. He swings his arm towards Nahemoths chest though after sometime when it was near it he paused near his chest. The combustion of the flames was produced causing an explosion around Junpei and Nahemoth due to Junpei fire manipulation he is able to absorb the heat, the explosion he made wouldn't cause him much trouble more on trouble for Nahemoth side.

"Whew, that certainly was a *blast!* Pun intended," Nahemoth appeared behind Junpei while joking about the attack. There is no scratch to him or even his clothes. He still has his sense of humor even. "I believe you can do better than that, *Azrael*." With a vicious smile, Nahemoth uttered a name.

"Aaah, don't bother asking why I know, because the real problem is not that, but ***this!***" Raising up his hand in the air, red chains started raining down towards the other party. However, he intentionally aimed them to miss, slipping between Junpei's legs and arms. "This is a practical problem in front of you; if you cannot solve it, then I must find another one."

"I ask you to refrain from mentioning my name, Junpei will be appreciated if you can call me that. If that is the case. contingency level 2 Fire formation AGNI!" Fire started to spread around his body as the brightness was dimmed down his body was on flames as he was still close to human. his own cheeky self. Though he looked at him with a semi serious look since he had spilled his name. Original name that he had been using before.

"I will make this abit harder." He pointed his fingers towards nahemoth as he spawned multiple dots that were flying towards him as if they were Fireflies and once they were near Nahemoth it all exploded at all sides even from above. He thought this out as the heat was higher than before even though the soft flames were around his body.

"Ah-ah-ah," Nahemoth still stood there, undented. "Certainly, a good vigor, a good physique, and a healthy mind. Az--*ahem*--Junpei Narukami. I deem you are quite worthy, but how about you have a taste of something that shall be yours soon?" Nahemoth pulled out a briefcase out of a red portal on his palm. "Helebriel, are you not thrilled?"

Suddenly, the briefcase in his hand shifted from into a rifle. Still holding it in one hand, Nahemoth pulled the trigger, and red energy beams fired from the muzzle and around the bearer's as well. Before they hit Junpei, the beams scattered themselves past him and landed far behind, causing a huge explosion. "Aaah, the firepower is amazing. Don't you think so, Junpei?" The rifle, Helebriel, changed it's form back to a briefcase. "I deem you as fit, but if you still want to continue, I will comply." Nahemoth smiled. He leisurely walked towards Junpei.

"So, what do you say? Rest easy, I will not obliterate you."

"Well, my my. You could've been nicer." He chuckled as he looked at Nahemoth who who was taking a witness at agni second form. Even though he is hiding an ace on his sleeve Ifrit. He was impressed that he would really like to use ifrit. Though he can't due to the circumstances of overdoing it. He saw the bullet fire as he summoned a wall, but a little too late. Then it spreaded right behind him. Looking at the brief case.

"Closing contingency two. Gave me abit of a scare, but now I am motivated!" Seeing such a formfact lazer on sight which was a cool sight to see seemingly like he was ready to handle such a weapon with vigor.

"Now it is about time you should introduce yourself. I need to know about your thing, because sometime soon I might bring over a gift. Maybe, that is a big maybe."

His body was steaming due to his usage of thema nahemoth could tell that very much his destructive power was a cost of him burning his body. He takes deep breaths to keep himself from being super tense.

"Now also tell me a price of using it, A gifted weapon doesn't mean It is safe without consequence. I'd appreciate hearing it atleast, so I can understand what I am holding."

"Ooh! You understand quite fast! I'm impressed. Well, well, pardon for the rudeness, but I must see for myself if you are able to handle Helebriel. My name is **Nahemoth**" He bowed. "Remember that name, for I am nor a magus nor an ordinary."

"Now, now, to the main topic!" Nahemoth dropped the briefcase down to the ground. The beach sand reduced the impact which made little to no sound. "This here, is Helebriel. *She* has many abilities. Helebriel, you can show yourselves now."

As he commanded, the briefcase opened and there stood a fair girl. "Helebriel, at your service."

"She's not just good at destruction, she can also do daily chores. I am quite proud myself as her original branch is from mine, but that's another matter!" Nahemoth rubbed his nose.

"...Lord Nahemoth, please don't be too prideful...."

"Ah, pardon, pardon. So, you asked about the 'cost'. I wouldn't say it will cost your life, seeing how capable you are; but she will definitely drain your juice. I wouldn't tell more of her abilities; that's for you to discover, it's not going to be fun if I tell you everything."

"Lord Nahemoth, I don't think we need to keep blabbering about that. Let's get to the contract already," Helebriel did not step outside her original position, that is the suitcase, but she's definitely getting impatient.

"Aah, pardon again." Nahemoth rubbed his hair. "Well, guess what, I will leave both of you alone, so, have a fun time! Bye!" With that word, Nahemoth disappeared as if he was never there all along, leaving Junpei and his soon-to-be weapon.

"Ah, sorry, Lord Nahemoth is just like that...."

"Pleasure to meet you Nahemoth, Now this is the answer I expected. Lifeforce if not capable enough. Meaning mana, Sweet." Seemingly to handle this pretty well. He felt great about getting a new weapon to his own arsenal. He bowed aswell seemingly to give the same respect towards Nahemoth

"Hehe, I don't mind. Used to people who is more of a shitlord than him. I could list a massive amount of fuckers that act the same way that Nahemoth does, but doesn't mean I disliked their company- well Scratch that some are distasteful to meet. Nahemoth is fine he does with self control." Very truthful towards his new partner Well now just scratching the back of his head. Hele could see that his body was steaming right at this very moment just being steamed by his own cons of the thema.

"How does the contract work, just guide me and I will go along."

"Oh, unfortunately, you will have to stop with the wild fantasies; Lord Nahemoth has told me about you. Now, please sign here with your blood or mana, whichever you prefer. I suggest reading first." Helebriel stepped out of the open briefcase and pulled out a worn-looking paper with unintelligible inscriptions. "Oh, I am sorry, it seems it was still written in the original text. Let me read aloud the summaries for you: With this contract, I--pardon, it's a must for the contract--, Azrael El-Khaledi, hereby form a contract with a subject of Qliphoth, that is Helebriel, bla-bla-bla, additionally, if Lord Nahemoth so desires, he can take Helebriel back to his side regardless of condition."

"Basically, you are my temporary master now. Oh and, we actually can add our own terms, but I don't want to burden my master so I will keep that section void." Helebriel held out the form to Junpei, waiting for his signature.

"I know He won't come back since, that would be boring and sort of depressing of him to offer you out of nowhere and take it back." He shrugged as he lets out a chuckle. Understandable statement since he had desired something to be fun.

"Alright yada yada Yada. Please do call me Junpei, I don't need people Knowing my real name since that has more power to it. Moreover they could know who I was before." Now signed with his own blood by biting his thumb and basically his body was regenerating at a slower pace due to the natural vessel of the heat. He was able to regenerate the cut faster than normal due the enzymes of his body are able to handle the heat of the thema that was provided meaning that the cut was slowly getting healed and he signed it

"Guess that is it. Nice meeting you helebriel and I hope we get along."

"Thank you. I shall be in your care now." Helebriel put the contract back inside the briefcase and she disappeared inside the small box, along with the thing closing itself.
