"In this world, there are three variations of the earth; the middle where we live in, the spirit world for myths and the monster world." He said looking at his class of five bright students he was supposed to train and nurture to maturity.
  
  Let's go back a little to the beginning of this story.
  
  [[SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN]]
"You're gonna love it here." said the driver.
"Heard that line one too many times already" A certain ash haired boy replied from the back of the black car they were in.
They were currently driving on a road path in Aokigahara, Japan. The trees bent sideways making it look like they were driving through a forest tunnel.

"Driving through here in early autumn makes it feel magical with the yellowing leaves." He thought.

"No really! The school's awesome and you'll meet so many interesting people." He said trying to hype the boy up and make him match his excitement.

David was one of the school's official drivers that transported both international and returning students from other regions and for some justified reason, every trip to him was exciting as the last but was a little sad too.
  He knew the fate of most of the kids and their backstories, "Especially this particular batch." He thought solemnly.

After a few more minutes, they passed by two huge pillars that held up an engraved sign in gold "ROSEWOOD ACADEMY." it read and continued to drive on school grounds.

"Why the hell would they build a school in the middle of a place called suicide forest?'' The boy thought, the land stretched out wide and from the left side of the car, he looked out the window and saw the tip of the school that took up 1,000 acres of Aokigahara.

"Ah, I see you've done your research".
"Yes." He said, cause that was exactly the type of person he was forced to be— the kind that researches his new home every time he moved to determine how long he'd last there before moving again.

They drove straight for two(2) more minutes before taking a left and crossing over a bridge.
The bridge had crystal clear water and a few aquatic life in it. They then came face to face with the school.

Rosewood Academy was a 60ft high modern boarding school in the middle of Aokigahara, Japan. It had 2,000+ students and staffs to house, feed and clothe.
Two(2) huge brick walls that separated at the middle acted as a shield from the forest to the school, the wall ran down to the back of the school and met at the middle, it had a metal gate in the middle that only closed at night and opened the first thing and iron barbed wires with electric fences on them.

He got down from the car and walked a little bit towards the entrance, the scent of the wet forest floor hit his nose and he took a moment to appreciate it.

He looked up and saw little groups of students in black and red uniforms conversing and running around.

  "TIM! TOM! " The driver called from behind him to two seventh grade looking twins running around, they looked towards them and grinned while running their way.
  "DADDY!" They said in unison.
  "Oh, that's why he was so excited to come." he thought, they reached them barely breathy and ran to hug their father.

  "Good boys." He said crouched down on the wet floor hugging them tightly.
He looked at the scene but looked away quickly cause he felt something tighten in his chest.

  "Help this boy over here to get around ok? we'll talk more when you return".

  "OK." They said on unison grinning widely.

  They ran ahead and asked him to follow them, but just as he took a step forward
  "Leonidas." David called out from behind him, Leonidas looked back to him and he said "Good luck." before entering his car.
"You're gonna need it." He muttered to himself knowing what was coming before looking ahead and driving off to offload the boy's bags at the port.
