Surga Utopia
April 11th, 2329 - The First Day
Ecclesia ~ Cafeteria
Once again, Surga Utopia was reminded that he is no longer a normal human.
It cannot be helped; after all, he had only recently become "God." His instincts, his senses which used to help him avoid trouble and injuries, are still accustomed to the feeling that he is a human, and Surga only realized this fact after he put all of his strength to his legs and jumped backwards.
The ground cracked and the air shook from the sheer force of the jump, showing a clear difference in the specs of a "God" and a "Devil."
Immediately realizing his mistake and not wanting to put further damage to the building, Surga stopped himself by immediately thrusting his legs to the floor. He managed to avoid putting a football field's worth of space between him and Neliel, but the floor still got thrashed in the process.
'So this... is the power of God...'
Looking back at the scene, Surga found a garden of crystal ice, a spell that Celes had fired reflexively in his defense around the area where the limb had appeared. It was a befitting spell for someone as kind as Celes, one who had never really hurt anyone, but the possibility that she may had hurt the other girl is enough to made her panic. Surga doubted it was fatal, and somehow he had a feeling that the spell actually missed, so he merely let out a thanks to the angel before focusing his attention on his surroundings-Originally Posted by Celes
-only to widen his eyes in shock as he saw a fist, Neliel's fist, coming head-on to his direction at light speed.
"Guh-!"
Surga managed to move in time, but surprised as he was, failed to completely dodge the attack. The fist had merely brushed his shoulder, but with it carrying enough force to made the air shook, a glancing hit was enough for his arm to explode in pain; pain which Surga has never experienced in his entire life, enough to made him grit his teeth and retreat as the pain disappears, healed by the Fate-Awakening Crystal.
It felt weird, unnatural, that one moment he was experiencing pain which would take weeks or even months to heal as a human, and an instant later it has already healed. Another perk of being a God he suppose, but if a devil's attack hurt that much (regardless of it being healed instantly), Surga doesn't want to imagine what he had to go through if he had to fight another God.
'Still, Neliel couldn't move that fast, not with her being affected by Humilitas.' Surga thought as he scanned his surroundings warily, searching for a particular blur of red and silver. 'That means...'
Another fist came, but this time Surga was ready. Avoiding godspeed with godspeed, Surga kept his eyes focused on the blur and managed to spot a silver-haired angel carrying Neliel in her arms, her speed fast enough to match God's before stopping. Neliel then threw her arms around the other's neck, confirming his suspicion that the angel is Rose's other God Hand.
Neliel and the angel, Sarai, exchanged a few banters before they disappeared once again in a blur of speed so fast that he must focus all his attention on them, lest the blur disappear from his view. They bounced around the room, and as the students are awed the air, too, started to pick up after their speed, becoming winds and soon enough a hurricane. From the corner of his eyes Surga could see Leliel holding Celes, for what he didn't know, but he'd trust them in whatever it is they're trying to do. For now, he would focus on the blur of red and silver that are dashing across the room.
True, he wouldn't be able to catch nor attack them normally, not with this kind of speed.
But he had a spell for such an enemy.
As the wind ruffled his hair Surga extended his hand, and immediately a blue star, framed by a circle, appeared before his extended hand.
If he couldn't hit them with pure speed-
"Aster!"
Then he just need a spell that tracks them-!
