Daemon High: New Life?

School...what the heck was I thinking?

Chapter 3: School...what the heck was I thinking?

It sounded like he was ranting about coffee. That doesn't make the current situation any better

"I said no foam, extra cream and ARGH!" said the principle, to which his assistant whimpered, "S-S-Sir, you're getting angry, that's not good for blood pressure."

"I HAVE NO BLOOD PRESSURE!" he yelled. I then heard a tud and a whimper, like a knife embedding itself in wood.

The dog folket gingerly pushed open the door with the butt of his spear and I saw a room with large windows at the back, covered with curtains making the room dimly lit. On the left was a tall bookshelf filled with dictionaries and self help guides directed towards stressful individuals, while the right side of the wall was covered in slash marks, while the target board hanging askew on it was completely untouched. Under the dim glow of my flames, I saw an older mustached yurei who looked like a man in his twenties, a cowering oni and a large butcher knife embed on the large table next to the oni. The yurei looked like someone I've seen before; I just can't put my finger on it. The yurei looked at me and smiled, he said "Well, well, another yurei? We've don't have many of those." He floated towards me and took my hat off before I could even do anything about it.

My hands instinctively reached for my light blue baseball cap and pulled it back on, causing the yurei to laugh familiarly. He said between his laughs said "Still the same since I last saw you eh?" I looked at the yurei confused for a moment and eventually put two and two together, then it all began to make sense, on why he was being so friendly.

"Oh my God! But you're a nice guy! You should be in heaven!" I said.

Uncle Pete then said "I did, I later found heaven boring and came back here, to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." That caught me off guard. "Why?"

"For paradise, they sure suck at making sandwiches. Big G up there's not gotten 'the best chefs' in the world cause they've all went down under"

"How can you still eat?"

"Yeah, I can, I don't know where the food goes through,".

I looked around, trying to think of the questions "Wait, how did you get here? To this place?" .

"Well long story, come by and I'll tell you some day. Now, enough chitter chatter, time to find you a team," he said as he waved his hand dismissively at his assistant, causing the oni to scurry out of the room like a bat out of hell. I raised my eyebrow at the idea of 'a team', and raised another question.

"A what?"

"A team, a group of six people three boys and three girls, balanced genders and a test on getting along, and somehow a way to get a date to the prom. By the way, you are in the 6th grade, in class 6B,"He said as he gave me a timetable which I scanned quickly, getting down the times and the lessons taught, which among I found 'Death Dodgeball' being right after 'Astral Physics', before stuffing it into my belt, he then snapped his fingers and a translucent panel with a list of names on it appeared in his hands.

He flipped through the list teams in the school. There's quite a lot as a matter of fact. He stopped when he found a team called Team Alvanda. "Ah, Team Alvanda's missing a guy, I pretty sure they need a new guy right now. Best of the best, you'll be in the loop in no time." he said with satisfaction. He then activated his mic on his desk and said "Team Alvanda's captain, Team Alvanda's captain, please report to the principal's office, Immediately," At that moment a kid with black hair dressed in a gray T-shirt and dark blue jeans walked in. He said "What's the matter, Sir?"

"Well, I have a new guy to fill in for you and your team, take good care of him," said Uncle.

"Xiang will you introduce yourself?" he told me. I floated out behind him, and the guy tilted his head and said "Wow a yurei, haven't seen one of those since-," Uncle then said, "Don't thank me thank Xiang for coming here," The guy stuck his hand out for a handshake and said " Name's Kai Misoruka, team captain of Team Alvanda, nice to meet you."

"My name's Xiang, nice to meet you" I said as I took the hand and shook it. Kai then said "Come on, I have a whole team to introduce to you," as he gestured me to follow him.

He lead me down the hallway, skirting through large green orcs and hopping over dwarves and goblins and walking through a spectre which immediately covered herself as he did so. We turned at a corner and approached a small garden with a small marble table with some stools that were occupied by four people, who I guess are the rest of the team. One guy with black spiky hair was holding a staff with a large fox head stuck on the tip, a girl long black hair had a bow and a quiver of arrows on her back, a red-headed girl with red eyes and pale skin wore a black cloak, lastly there was a masked girl dressed in a black body suit with a pony tail and an icy stare, to top off that she had what seemed to look like hand-held explosives clipped to her belt.

I soon learned from Kai that the spiky hair guy was called Joel Greatfox, of the Greatfox family, that's a strange family, named after an animal, and that his staff was called Fox, go figure. The bow girl was called Julia Zhang, or as coined by the others, 'Deadeye' or 'Hawkshot' or 'Arrow Hell', I swore I saw Kai's face blush a bit when he said her name. The redhead's a vampire chick called Angie von Berringwood, German with English descent I wonder how that worked, Kai told me to be careful of her, because she eventually killed her last boyfriend. I think that Kai is exaggerating, she looks harmless enough, right? The masked one was known as the Un-silent Silencer and or Wendy. In understandable version, she is the silent one with the bombs. I held out my hand to be polite, Joel was the only one who took it. Julia did not pay much attention to me, flipping her hair and turning her head as she sharpened her arrows. Angie smiled at me, revealing her long sharp fangs. Wendy just nodded her head.

These were the guys I'll be sticking with, Somehow I don't feel very safe.
