And so we are finally joined by the second 10th Anniversary competition winner, Azreal! In addition to this appearance Azreal also received a copy of Back Office Vol.1 & a hand-drawn Bata Neart commission. Azreal elected to appear as a cat, and thus now joins Bata Neart’s canon as Colaiste Muire’s “School Cat” (And team maskot according to Aoife). I hope you enjoy this and further appearances Azreal 🙂
How will Sharon react to this? Find out after the 1-week break.

UPDATE NOTICE!! Possible extended Chapter Break.
I didn’t plan this chapter too well, so we will be going over 20 pages before it ends. However after that my traditional summer break might be a lot longer than usual. This is due to my impending work on this year’s Coffee Party manga. I’m co-writing the main story with Nao this year and I’m going to try my absolute best. Thus might be a bit of a delay getting back to Bata Neart work. The same will probably happen with Back Office too.
I’ll try to keep you all updated on everything that happens. I am hoping that Chapter 9 will be worth the wait.
Here I come to save the day! 😛
Way to go, Ashling. Foiled again, Sharon. >^.^<
Good luck and have fun with the new "Coffee Party" project, Rawr. 🙂
somehow I have a hard time imagining Sharon being distracted by a cat, no matter how adorable. Sorry Azrael. 😉
I know that mythologically Azrael is an archangel, but whenever I hear the name the first thing I think of is Gargamel’s cat.
@Kessy: I think she is more distracted by Ashling than by Azrael. 🙂
@Azreal: Thanks Azreal. I hope you enjoy the rest of your appearance 😀
@Kessy: Don’t forget, Sharon has many sides we have not seen yet…you never know.. ;D
@Da Huuuuuudge: I didn’t know about the archangel, I always think of Gargamel’s cat when I hear the name ‘Azreal’. (Often followed in my head by Hank Azaria’s uncanny voice from the Smurfs Movie asking: “Azreal….are you dead?”)
@Azreal: Out of curiosity, did you base your internet handle on that infamous Smurf-hunting cat?
@Delta: I think a little from Column A and some from Column B, mixed with the shock of Aoife’s nonsense appearing to be correct(!).
@Rawr and Delta: Uhhh, are you guys implying what it sounds like you’re implying? Because I *really* don’t see Sharon being interested in one of her students at all.
Although when it comes to Sharon’s other sides, I’ve been anticipating seeing Sharon’s softer side for a while now. Part of the reason I’ve been taking a shine to her. ^_^
@Kessy: No, for my part I was thinking of Ashling being a distraction only in that Sharon didn’t expect to see her out there too, and is probably feeling that they’re ganging up on her.
@Kessy: Oh dear god no, Sharon is not into the students like that. Her interest has only ever been to keep them safe and to prevent them from causing trouble. Beyond that her only other interest in them is part of her long-standing obsession to create a Camogie team that can actually win a match. (None of these “Winning the Championship” tropes, she just wants to win at least one game 😀 )
As for her softer side…just wait and see 😀
@Rawr: More the Archangel I suppose. It started back in ’98 when I first began playing EverQuest, my first character was a Dark Elf Necromancer. Azrael seemed like a well enough suited name so I took that and it kind of stuck around ever since.
