It took me several minutes to calm myself. I was in absolutely no mood for the next class, but since there were no teachers currently on stand-by to take my place, I would have to deal with it. This was only the first day after all, it couldn't be helped. The bell rang, signaling the start of class, and only then did I make my way to my classroom. I walked in, to a bunch of demons. Disgusting, despicable life-forms. They who loved the thought of bloodshed and death...who more often than not caused it! Very few of this race were redeemable. At least in my eyes...
"Good Evening. I am your homeroom teacher Raphael et Sinclair." I began my introduction. "I will not tolerate..." Just before I could continue, I felt something heading straight at me. Reaching my hand up, I caught a very small metal ball bearing. It had been coming at me with great speed...the inside of my palm feeling the impact. "This is World History, NOT Weaponry and Defense, Mr, Megami."
The Demon laughed. He was lounging in the very rear of the room...and casting me quite the look. "Yeah, I can see that." He commented. " It's nothing...TOO Personal, just thought maybe you forgot the part where you 'apologize' for being late. Or what? Didn't wanna show up to teach a group of Demons? It's understandable...but come on...isn't this school all about EQUALITY...or some nonsense like that?"
This was exactly the type of student I didn't need to see right now. I could feel my rage only intensifying...the entire room began to get brighter...and then I knew it was time for me to get out. I put my fingers to my mouth and let out a deafening whistle. Shortly after, Grim appeared in my doorway.
"Yes?"
"I need you to take over this class for me." I stated on my way out. "Following...I have something urgent to discuss with you. However at this moment I need some time to compose myself. I'll be fine for my next class...just not now."
Grim gave me a suspicious look, but did not question me. He nodded and stepped behind the podium as I exited.
Storming down the hall, I couldn't get over how thoroughly angered I had become over the incident in my quarters. I had to inform Grim, but I didn't really believe we need alert Able to it just yet. Not until I was absolutely certain HE had returned. I would let Able enjoy this academy he'd worked so hard to reopen...if only for a couple days more.
It was growing very dark now. Soon the vampires would be walking the grounds, waiting for their turn in the classrooms. I could feel them all very well. Every student within my net...all scurrying around...getting to know each other and the layout of the school. It didn't seem like there was anything off...which only made me all the more curious as to WHO had damaged my room in such a way. The area I was in was completely void. There wasn't a single energy signature within a 20 foot radius of my current position. I let out a deep sigh of relief. And then I saw it...a gleam of white before me.
Lifting my eyes...I almost couldn't believe them. There was a figure at the end of the hall. What I could only assume as a man, he wore a Victorian-style suit--all white...complete with a top hat. In his right hand I could make out a very detailed cane, which he swung back and forth as he stood there...no doubt staring at me...from behind a full-faced Venetian Mask. The Design on it was intricate...and yet I was still left in awe by him.
The most unnerving thing of all...he wasn't on my energy grid. Even at this moment...it was as though there was naught standing before me. It was unexplainable. My net would allow Nothing inside without my knowledge...and yet...
This got me thinking...my room...I had sensed no one there...
"You there!" I spoke walking forward quickly. "What is your business here?!"
He started to walk backwards slowly...almost completely unfazed by me. And then I heard him...
"Blame blame blame...such a dangerous game.
What you should really fear draws VERY near...
Be warned oh man of light...you are in for quite a fight..."
I seemed to only blink...and he was gone...just as mysteriously as he had appeared. I stood there in silence...unable to comprehend just what had happened. Someone had gotten through my net...and the way in which he spoke only seemed to raise my suspicion. Was that a warning? Or...a threat....
