A small shift

"WHY?!?" Iruma screamed in his head as he heard the student giving the speech for the entrance ceremony was changed to him. Iruma upon hearing his name called again shot up, multiple eyes trained on him for the plethora of demons, nervously he walked up to the podium the mass of eyes overwhelming him as he tried to think of what to say. Looking down his eyes spot a note with his name on it 'Words on encouragement' it stated with a little doodle of Ojiichan (His grandfather) giving a thumbs up, as he scanned further the words looked strange yet before he even had a chance to speak them the words shifted round and changed to form a new paragraph "Must be from Ojiichan's spell" Iruma thought before speaking 

 UMBRAE PROFUNDAE, ARCANA SERVATE

Iruma spoke as the auditorium went silent, while the words themselves did nothing when said by Iruma they cast an unsettling and foreboding ambience through out the auditorium, going unnoticed by the young Iruma he continued 

  CUSTOS EXSURGE, EX SOMNO SALTA
VELA NOCTIS, TACITUS ET SEVERUS

The more Iruma spoke the worse it became, even the teachers behind him now felt it. Sullivan, who was sitting and recording his precious grandson, was now confused since what he wrote down was a spell to make sure he would fall yet this wasn't it at all 

PROTEGE ANIMAM, CUI DESIDERAS
AB ABYSSUM EMERGE, POTENS ET MAGNIFICUS 

The audience noticed as the shadows themselves grew and creeped towards Iruma as he spoke while his own shadow grew in size while contorting into a new figure. Sullivan was now very worried as he got up and was about to stop Iruma but he couldn't, he was stuck in place, he noticed the other teachers behind Iruma were to trying to move yet it seemed as if there feet were glued to the ground. His eyes darted back to his grandson 

SCUTO FORTITER, MANU UMBROSA!

The shadows connected with Iruma's shadow as it grew in monstrous size covering most of the back wall, as Iruma finished three orbs of light appeared on the shadows presumed head forming into what looked to be eyes before rapidly shrinking back down returning to it's original size while the other retraced and returned to the state before his speech. 

Iruma nervously looked around at the baffled audience before it ruptured into a sea of yells and screams of praise and admiration. Before he knew it he was spun around by his grandfather 

"Ojiichan?" Iruma said while Sullivan, who was internally squealing at the name, looked over his grandson to check if anything was wrong while glaring at Iruma's shadow 

"Iruma, what did you just read?" Sullivan with full seriousness in his voice questioned his grandson, while still a little startled from both the sudden examination and earnestness in his grandfathers tone turned and looked at the note and grave it to Sullivan. Sullivan examined the note seeing as the words seemed to 'fade' away before he fully read them, with a little sigh Sullivan snapped his fingers as the note disappeared. Looking back at Iruma he gave a small smile and ruffled his grandson's hair before stepping to the podium "WELCOME TO BABYLS" he screamed with the crowd going even crazier as he gave Iruma a gentle push back towards the seats 


After that the students where set loose to explore the school they'll be attending, while Iruma was trying to keep his head down and say away form the public eye as much as possible. While mostly a success a few did see and waved to the boy, all bar one, who strode up to Iruma and gave the boy a small pat on the shoulder.
