So, some time has passed and Jae has been keeping his word on the study time with him and Blake....though our resident bookworm is still unsure whether he's legit about studying this subject together or if it's a long con to be alone with her....though is that really a bad thing?

In other news, Jae has taken on board what Pyrrha mentioned about his Aura and has reached out....though how is he going to resolve these budding issues

Blake was honestly surprised when she realised that Jae had been honest about his intentions to study with her; she had set the ground rules on there being no flirting and was surprised that he took her seriously with each study session roughly every other day of the week. This time she had found him sat at a nearby desk in the library with a stack of books. Books that ranged from Demonic novels and some labeled as "Demonic Folklore and superstitions" though it looked like he was turning up either dead ends or going in circles as he had a look of annoyance on his face.

"Good to see you're on a head start." Blake would remark as Jae looked up from a faded copy on famous demons and sighed, patting the desk so she could sit across from him, once she set her own books down and scanned the titles he picked up; she quickly noticed where his annoyance came from; "I think you've got the right idea but you're looking in the wrong places in terms of books, Jae." Blake explained as she held up a random hardback book. "Demons were considered a part of humanity so it might shed some light if we look into Human history." She points out and then held up a finger in a "Wait here" message as she headed over to one of the taller shelves and picked up some random books.

"The wrong spots, huh?" He would ask himself, though considering the last book he was trying to comb for details was about which former ruler or conqueror was rumoured to be a Demon, he was able to turn up some decent nuggets of info here or there; including one such notorious warrior in the past by the name of Sparda.

There was a sudden loud thump as Blake came back with an armful of thick books; "So...I figured that we can start with some of the basics and I came across this....the three different types of Demon that used to be around..." Blake would explain as she opened up what looked like an encyclopaedia on not just Demons, but also on Humans and Faunus.

"Right, that one I do know about....the first archetype of them are called "The Dormants"...." Jae would say and pointed to a figure that looked like a human with a dark mark that looked similar to the markings that showed on a Beowulf's head along the back.

Blake began to read out rest of the passage; "These were the most commonly seen Demons....some people even thought that they were just deviations of regular people because their "quirks" weren't skin deep....It looks like these people had a small advantage; some of them could have enhanced hearing....some could have a higher durability or heal faster then others and some would just inherit the violent tendencies belonging to them...." Blake explained to Jae's growing concern.
