Reclusive Catalysts

Chapter 1: Thief

A ringing was heard as we see the hallways immediately crowded with students rushing to be in time for their classes, a dark skin boy with a slumped posture and slightly dark bags under his eyes roamed around the hallways.

Dante: *He walked around the area seemingly lost, he was going around desperately attempting to converse with the other students, he heard the second bell ring and decided to walk to a teacher* "I..uh.." *He tapped on the teacher's shoulder*

Random Person: *The teacher turned to the boy and tilted their head in confusion* "Uh, do you need something?"

Dante: *He slightly nodded as he took out a sheet of paper which contained his schedule, he would've placed it in the teacher's hand*

Random Person: "Oh? Well uh, the art room is in room S-004, upstairs and near the right of the library." *He handed the schedule back to him*

Dante: *He nodded and quickly walked off*

LATER

The boy walked in just before the 3rd bell rings.

Dante: *He sighed in relief and looked around the room there was surprisingly alot of people as he estimated there to be atleast 17 other students, he walked over to a conveniently empty table*

A man walked into the classroom and stood infront of the classroom.

Mr. Xebec: "Hello class, today is a free day, due to the lack of turned in assignments. To be honest, I'm quite dissapointed." *He walked over to Dante's table as he looked down at him* "You must be the new student, hello. My name's Mr. Xebec, I you need anything just come over to my table okay?"

Dante slightly nodded as Mr.Xebec headed to his desk, Dante would've looked around the room to see anything of interest, that is until he spotted a ring that resembled a curved paintbrush with carvinf on it. He pondered a bit if he should bring it to the teacher or take it for himself, afterall rarely someone would suspect a new kid of taking such an item. Dante got up from his seat and walked over to the ring and picked it up. Dante walked back to his table and took a seat, he puts the ring on his index finger.

Outside Of The School

A man with messy slicked back hair with highlights of an orange-gold, he shown signs of heterochemia having his left a gleaming golden color and his right, a dull and opaque color that one could assume that he's blind in that eye, he was wearing a collared shirt, a golden chain that resembled a roulette wheel was hanging down. The mystery man was standing infront of the entrance while having a phone on his ear.

???: "Now that we've talked about the payments, what does the artifact look like again? Ah, they just track it. Okay then, I'll get the job done." *He holds his chain* "Black." *The wheel started to spin, and it landed on black 28* "PERFECT!"
