✮ Yuuto ✮
Yuuto ignored the mage sourly but didn't flinch away from the human's touch. He strode towards Midora who seemed preoccupied. Both Kou and Akiko stood ridiculously close to him and he resisted the urge to snap at them. He felt crowded. However, his attention was pulled away when Midora spoke up, "You've done well, students. I've seen enough to make judgements for now. Stay back and regain your energy, I will take care of the rest. Come, let's return to the Academy. It's time for you to rest and recover. We've had a lot of work tomorrow."
Yuuto nodded fully agreeing with the mage for once. A good rest would do him well so that he wouldn't have to deal with a certain form. Kou was talking and Yuuto absently listened but his ears snapped forward when she suddenly fell to her knees. His tail fur puffed up in nervousness as line and shapes began to spread over Kou's body. On closer inspection, it spread from a certain point on her back and from the look on her face, it was extremely painful. Yuuto watched Midora crouch over her and try to help and Yuuto felt a pang of guilt. He had spent his energy healing Akiko earlier, he wouldn't be able to help Kou much less know what to do since he had never since such a mark.
Midora yelled at him and Yuuto immediately backed up, pinning his ears back at the loud voice. His tail curled instinctively in submissive surprise. "Stay back and do not touch her or you'll be killed!" Midora paused, fretting over Kou, before turning to the group again. "Listen, Kou has lost control of her tendencies and she's about to enter her most destructive state. Trust me, you'll need to keep an eye on her from now on, because she isn't just like any other demons. So now, I will cast a sealing spell to help her got back to her normal state but I will need her to stand completely still, that is why I'm going to unlock some parts of my power and using my command power on her. I know that this might annoy you, Yuuto, but if I don't do anything soon then she'll destroy the whole area around here even if she doesn't want to", Midora shifted his gaze to Akiko, "and you, Akiko, you might want to keep a close watch on what I'm going to do. You two please stay close behind me."
Yuuto kept his mouth shut. For once, he didn't know what to say. He didn't have any secrets or ultimately special abilities. Sure, his past was a little shady but this was extreme from the looks of it. Was this going to happen every single time she fought another demon? Yuuto skeptically eyed the demon as Midora worked silently before a voice rippled through Yuuto causing him to freeze painfully. It wasn't directed at him but just listening to it felt disgusting. Yuuto shook the feeling off with a bit of effort and followed after Midora and Kou who were rushing back to the academy.
When they arrived, Yuuto noticed that no one had arrived yet. He felt smug for a brief moment but the feeling passed as he returned his attention to chasing after Midora.
Midora led the three to the dorm's quarter and showed them their room. "Okay, you can rest now, students", Midora said and gave them their keys to the room, "and Kou, if you can, meet me at the garden tonight, I got something to talk to you. And I'll see the two of you tomorrow." Midora finished. Yuuto narrowed his eyes at him curious about the meeting but figured that it was probably about the spectacle earlier.
Midora gave them a graceful bow; Yuuto returned it with a brisk nod. Midora then departed to go wherever the teachers went to in their free time. Yuuto waited a moment before turning to his group mates. Surely they weren't sharing a living space? He jangled the keys before heaving a sigh. He trudged over to a chair and plopped himself down, closing his eyes with a gruff growl. He needed a shower.
