By the time Deon woke up he was in his room and Ben was looking at him with worry, behind him was Ed who was biting his nails and looking at the floor with a anxious gaze.

"Sir arut, your awake.." Ben said and Ed looked up and immediately went to go hug his commander but Ben stopped him, Ed turned and glared at BEn.

"Why are you stopping me from seeing sir arut?" Ed asked and Ben sighed, deciding to answer even though he didn't like Ed all that much.

"His body is weak and if you jump on him as you were about to do then it would just worsen his condition." Ben explained and looked at Ed and smiled, seemingly mocking Ed.

"If you didn't even know that much then I doubt that you're suited to be sir arut's assist." Ben said with a scoff, making Ben look at him with a annoyed expression, the normally sweet Ed was now glaring at Ben with annoyance.

"I may not know those kinds of things but sir arut still chose me to his assist." Ed retorted back, making Ben narrow his eyes at Ed,

Deon sighed as he saw the two bickering like kids, finding it refreshing but also annoying since he had a bad headache right now.

"Both of you cut it out right now." Deon said as he looked at the two bickering demons, clearly tired of their bickering.

"Sorry..." "I apologize..." The two apologized and looked down, that's when the door opened to show The third corps commander, Asild, and the forth corps commander, Edellia. The two walked towards Deon and Asild smiled, but it wasn't friendly but more looking as if he wanted to fight.

"We heard you woke up and came to say hello while you were awake." Edellia said and Asild looked at her with a bit of distain, though Deon had no idea why he looked like that.

"I didn't come here to say hello, I came here to ask for a fight now that he's awake!" Asild said and looked at Deon, expecting him to say yes.

"Hm, it seems you two made it here before me." A voice came from behind them and the two corps commanders (Edellia and Asild) looked back to see Jaykar, he walked past them and toward Deon.

'why the fuck did so many corps commanders come to see me when I literally just woke up?' Deon asked internally as he stared at the three corps commanders that came to see him, finding it a bit weird that three came just to say hello.

"Geez, don't get in my way, Jaykar. I'm asking him for a fight first so wait your damn turn." Asild said and Deon looked at him as if he was crazy, not knowing why Asild wanted to fight so bad.

"I refuse." Deon said simply, thinking about his current condition and how damn muscular Asild was, he couldn't fight him head on and Deon knew that.

'He would crush he as if I was a fly, if I wanted to fight him then I would need to play dirty tricks and even then i might be cutting it close.' Deon thought as he stared at Asild, thinking that he wouldn't be able to win without dirty tricks.

"Huh?" It came out of everyone's mouth's except for Deon, they all looked at him and Asild looked a bit angry.

"Why not?" Asild asked and stepped closer to Deon, wanting to fight him but before he could ask again Jaykar interrupted.

"I understand now" "What?" Asild was confused on what Jaykar meant, even Edellia was confused too.

"He's refusing to fight out of concern for his opponent." Jaykar said and Asild looked at Deon with surprise and Deon looked back at him, also confused on what Jaykar was talking about.
