"Ffffffffm ahhhhh, the air smells so good up here." This fresh smell of the clean air is absolutely intoxicating.
My heart is beating so fast.
Standing on the blue roof of the tower that was just beside the iron entry gate into the 'Science and History' academy's grounds I looked into the void underneath.
The feeling of my nose going a little numb, the fumes of my breath, the burning sensation freezing my face, the bright, almost blinding darkness of the night.
It was all such a thrill, it makes me wanna just jump!
And jump I did.
The tower was about 50 meters tall I'd say which made everything just so much better, I closed my eyes and activated my Seal.
The word meaning 'Darkness' in a language that has long since been forgotten flashed in my brain as if trying to describe the scenery around me.
It took less than a second after activating my Seal to 'sink' into the darkness around me, as my entire body felt as if enveloped in some warm blanket made of mud that swallowed my entire being.
If it weren't for the fact that I could still hear myself thinking, I would've doubted my own existence, ironically enough.
Ahhh, this familiar feeling, how I missed it.
After a very, VERY long 1 tenth of a second, a small spot of a shadow on the floor spat me out.
Inside of the academy's territory the ground seems so... rough, the stone was seemingly smooth from afar but looking at it closely, it was really rough, almost spikey.
Wearing my Slayer uniform gave me confidence in just wandering aimlessly to get a feel for the place's groundwork, scouting is always important before missions.
My deep black hoodie was somewhat of a hindrance to my vision as I almost fell after missing the small height difference between the rough stoney area and what seemed to be a dry mud field the size of something like 3 dorm houses.
After reaching a road made out of actual smooth, grey-ish marble, the entry to the main school building was right in front of me. A tall but somewhat disproportionately narrow door in the shape of an arrow head, colored some hue of gray with a tinge of green to it, or at least so it seemed in the darkness of the night.
Using my Seal again I just entered the building through a shadow under one of the windows near the entry door.
Searching for the principal's office is the easy part. I didn't even plan on getting this far today, convinced there will be guards in this place. I didn't even bother planning beyond getting a feel for the school's yard...
Choosing to try and finish the mission tonight is probably somewhat impulsive but, the thrill in all of this is too much, I don't wanna leave yet, let's find the principal's office and try to get this document thingy my accursed new god had asked for.
Thinking of how I would've built the school, helped me decide to start in the middle.
The school's eerily quiet. Hallways were sorta like a triangle which meant that the most important room would be on the second floor in the middle, or so I thought.
Ironically enough, the very last door - which is the very first I skipped - is also the one I needed. Why am I not surprised...
Whatever, at least I'm here, but who even puts the principal's office basically at the school's entrance. How ridiculous. Is this how schools are built? Isn't the principal like the... warlord or something?
This is way too easy though, is this a set-up? I find it hard to believe as there's just no point, they know enough about me to send me to jail easily or at least ruin my life here for sure, right?
