Lex raced down the hallways on his skateboard as he fulfilled his mailman duties throwing passages left and right through the legacies doors "Looks like Babushka sent you something special" he yelled as he went past Viktors door

"Ooh smoked fish" Viktor mused as he inspected the package

Lex skated off around the corner where he met Billy who was snickering already and they ran off already anticipating the effects of their plan, blue paint bombs began to go off around the school as the students began to open their packages

Meanwhile

Aurelia was disturbed from her music as she heard screams one of which sounded extremely like Brandy Lynn one of Aurelia's least favourite people so naturally Aurelia got out her camera, the one with the good image quality, opening the door she found a bunch of angry legacies covered in blue paint

"Smile" she said snapping a few pictures of their paint covered faces all it varying states of annoyance chuckling to herself as she caught sight of Brandy's face "Lex you've out done yourself this time" she murmured to herself before beginning her walk to her next class

Back to Marcus

In the midst of the chaos that Billy and Lex had so kindly created Marcus had managed to get to his next class happening to be The Fundamentals of Psychopathy before settling down next to a random legacy

"Where's the teacher?" Marcus asked as he leaned slightly closer

"Find a thousand dicks and suck them" the legacy replied as he looked down at his paper

"So many?" Marcus joked before a hush fell over the classroom as their teacher was wheeled in, the Scorpio Slasher himself, unfortunately one of Aurelia's least favourite teachers

"Welcome" he said "To the fundamentals of psychopathy" in the pin drop silence that befell the classroom the squeaks from his wheelchair painfully loud as he wheeled his way down the aisle in the middle of the classroom before stopping at Marcus "Now why, would Lin enrol such a low life into his esteemed atelier of the deadly arts?" he mused

"You don't know my reputation?" Marcus shot back

"Well reputations can be deceiving, to you know mine?" the professor questioned

"Um" Shabnam piped up "You're keen on astrology, 41 victims, no bodies found"

"Cannibalism" Billy coughed

"More like a job well done" Aurelia inserted as the knife she had been spinning stopped briefly as she talked

The Slasher quickly wheeled over to Billy "I would never resort to such desperate theatrics" he spat before slowly wheeling over to Aurelia "as for you my guess is you know exactly what a job well done feels like" he said narrowing his eyes before whispering in her ear "Beginners mistake, burning flesh is quite an unmistakable odour"

"So is coming to close to me unarmed" Aurelia hissed through gritted teeth as she held her knife up to his neck the blade reflecting to dingy light

He chuckled as he felt a small bead of blood trail down from the cut she had made on his neck before once again retreating to the middle of the aisle as all eyes went from Aurelia to him "Today we will be studying the murders muse, resentment, no better fuel for the beast, list what you despise please" he asked Billy his glare fixed on him

Billy paused "Skaters who turn into rockstars, like gator, he's great but the dude thinks he's prince" he joked as he felt all eyes on him

The Slasher just paused before wheeling over to his next victim, Viktor

"Capitalism" he stated simply

"Yeah that's hard to argue" the professor said before turning to Lex

"Thatcher" he said after a moment

"Snore" he said before once again wheeling back to Aurelia

"Rapists" Aurelia almost snarled "No one should ever have to be put through that pain"

"And what about the pain you put them through?" The Slasher enquired

Aurelia smiled, one could say she looked psychopathic "Whatever happens, it's deserved" she leant forwards slightly "If I wanted to rip them limb for limb as they screamed for mercy, or burn each part of they're body slowly it is justified, and I will have gotten my revenge" she finished as the rest of the class looked on in horror

"I have a feeling you'll be passing this class" the Slasher stated "What about you boy?" he asked turning to Marcus "What do you hate?"

"Bullies" he said making eye contact with Aurelia before turning back to the professor

The Slasher sighed "Go on"

Marcus gritted his teeth "Tiny dicked egotists who hurt people for no reason, why people lock their doors at night, people who make general existence worse, people like you. Fucking hate people like you"

The Slasher leaned forwards threateningly before a cane was brought down between the two, the silence penetrated by Aurelia's slow clapping, the corner of her mouth lifted into a small smile as she whistled once

"Todays lesson was on resentments" the professor announced fixing Aurelia with a stare "and it looks like I got a new one" he said as he turned back to Marcus "I'm just trying to picture you without feet" he drawled "Miss Kuroki see me after class"

"Which one?" Saya asked bristling at the thought of her sister in trouble

"Which one did you think?" The Slasher shot back as the bell rang

Aurelia made her way to the front delivering a curt nod of assurance to Saya as she walked past

"I'm not one to play favourites" he started

"Then don't" Aurelia interject her eyes narrowed in distrust

"You see you remind me of me when I was younger, murderous, psychotic but most of all intelligent. Oh the good old days" he reminisced

"So you're not intelligent now" Aurelia snorted

"Watch it young lady" the professor glared "I wanted to offer you a target for extra credit"

Aurelia stilled "Who?"

"He's the rapist of three girls the youngest of them being 13, a Scorpio of course, goes by the alias of White Oleander on the streets, sells weed too" The Slasher smiled knowing full well that she was now invested

Aurelia smiled back "Do I have a deadline then?"

"You have three days, only one request, make sure this makes the newspapers, get your justice that you're so fond of" he said

"Why of course, it was a pleasure doing business professor"

"Please, call me Slasher"
