Fight me, Become a Demon

Chapter 1 part 2

"The box was uncomfortable, so I dealt with it myself." She simply stated, golden hues watching the man as he jovially walked beside her. "What do you mean by new student?"

"It's the room where you woke up - the room with a lot of doors lining up. Every student that enrolled into this room went through that door to come here. Usually, students don't wake up until we open the door with a special key, but your familiar must have managed to open the gate." The man said as his lips lowered into an annoyed frown.

"No, it did it myself." She scoffed, how else would it be opened? The creature was too tiny to open the lid.

"You... did it yourself? How?" The man's glowing eyes widened, his lips parting in shock.

"Isn't it obvious? I punched it." She said as they continued down the hallway to wherever they strange man was leading her and the creature.

"...Oh!" The man jolted as if he remembered something he had seemingly forgotten. "It wasn't the time for a lengthy talk. If we don't quickly go, we'll miss the opening ceremony! Come, come, we're going!" The man sped up to a light jog, the woman following close behind.

"Hey, who are you and where the hell am I!?!?" The woman's brow twitched as she realized she had never gotten the man's name nor where they were. This situation was testing her patience but she had to sit through it, otherwise she would get no answers and would have no way to get back to Muzan.

"Language! Are you not fully conscious yet?" The man scolded.

"I wonder if, perhaps, your memories are in disorder because of the space transportation magic..." the man drifted off, lightly shrugging with a laugh. "Oh well. It happens a lot, after all. I will explain to you as we walk. I am kind, after all."

"Kind my ass, more like weirdly pushy." the woman thought as they left the safety of the shadows into the light of the outdoors. The courtyard was filled with greenery, the grass lining the side of stone walkways. Neatly trimmed bushes formed a boarder between the walkways. There were spares trees that offered some shade although it was not enough for the woman. Small flowers were planted at the edges of the bushes and lead to a large ornate fountain in the center of the garden.

The courtyard was pretty although the woman couldn't enjoy it as she minded her movements, careful to not let the hood of her cloak to fall. The roof above jutted out from the building a few good inches so she stuck to the safe shade. She couldn't be exposed to the sunlight, otherwise she would burn to death. She could smell yet another human, but he smelt different than Crowley. She decided to ignore it for now and find out why later. She couldn't see his face but the hood was wildly looking this way and that, the man was definitely confused. He was tall and even though the robe covered him, she could tell he was very fit. The bag slung over his shoulder was large enough for a sword, she doubted he was a demon slayer. He wasn't wearing the standard uniform that all of them wore but she would keep an eye on him just in case.

Crowley looked towards the garden, probably about to tell her about the area they were in until he noticed the confused student by the fountain.

"Oh dear! Yet another missing student, are all of you this impatient?" Crowley exclaimed. He wondered if he would find yet another disoriented student wandering around campus. "Come with me, I will guide you to the ceremony. Truly, my kindness knows no bounds!"

The student joined her side, her shoulders untended at the extra blockage of sunlight. He glanced at the person who was almost religiously sticking to the shaded areas of the garden. He noticed they were short, compared to him, and couldn't see a visible part of them. The robes were a little too large for them which left them completely covered, but seeing as they avoided the sun seemingly at all costs, he figured they liked it that way. Still, he decided he would walk next to them to block the sun, he figured they had a skin condition.

"This is 'Night Raven College'. It's a place where magician with exceptional talents gather, Twisted Wonderland's most prestigious magician training academy. And I am the headmaster supervising this academy under the board chairman, Dire Crowley." The man, Crowely, turned around in a sweeping motion. His cape fluttered behind him as he made a dramatic half bow towards the woman as he stated his name. He made no mention of the fact that the woman was almost pressed against the wall, avoiding the sun as if it were a disease.

"Magician?" She questioned as her head tilted in confusion, in all her years of life she had never heard that word before. It spawned more questions than answers but she held her tongue, he had already freely revealed information to her without her asking much therefore he would continue to do so. Crowely seemed to be a man that would talk endlessly if one allowed him to so this was good for her. The other student also remained silent, in hopes that his questions would be answered too.

"The only ones who could enroll to this school are with those excellent qualities as a magician, the ones who have been approved by the 'Mirror of Darkness'. The chosen ones are called into this academy through the 'door', from all over the world. In your place, too, surely a black carriage carrying a 'door' came to pick you up." He explained as they kept moving through the courtyard, entering the indoors once more. They were in another hallway, this time Crowely stopped in front of a large set of double doors. She could here multiple voices inside and could smell the humans. They smelled delectable as she could feel the hunger nawing at her stomach.

"Mggghーー! Mmgghーー!!" The creature struggled more as it tried to shout, though it was once again ignored by all three present.

"Come, we're going to the opening ceremony now!" Crowley exclaimed as his hand made contact with the door.
