The next day, classes go as usual, but you can't stop thinking of Mizore. It's starting to really affect your classwork, and you try to bury your nose into books to stop thinking of her.

                "(Y/N), are you paying attention?"

                Nekonome sensei is in front of your desk, looking down at you quizzically. 

                "Hm? Yeah, yeah."

                After school, you consider going to see Mizore, but strangely, you hear a strange voice in your head. "(Y/N), please come to the headmaster's quarters. Aono sama wants to see you."

                The headmaster? Why would he want to see YOU? You prepare yourself for the worst.

                You knock on the door and bow down so low that you almost fall over, hoping to prevent a severe punishment for whatever petty crime you've committed. The gigantic wooden mass opens slowly and creakily, and behind it you see a hooded figure standing lazily. To your surprise, he looks pleased that you're here. He has long, black hair, which elegantly falls in his face, and a face which shows nothing but kindness. By his side is an elegantly dressed woman, whose white hair rivals snow. The tips of her hair, however, are strangely pink, as if she failed to dye it correctly or something. The woman walks closer to you and introduces herself brightly.

                "Hiya! I'm Akashiya Moka, the Headmistress. I mostly just help the headmaster with his duties, but I'm also his fiancée! You're (Y/N), right?"

                You nod and smile. This girl's charm is unbelievable. Only now did you notice the beautiful rosary on her neck. It has a red eye in the centre, and is quite strange... It makes you feel eerie, as if it's constantly watching you. You feel like the youkai energy coming from it is... observing you somehow. Either that, or concealing a secret. Possibly, both. You don't want to consider that option.

                "Nice to meet you then, (Y/N)!"

                The headmaster takes a step forward, and pulls your hand up for a handshake. He smiles, and says happily "Nice to meet you as well! I'm Aono Tsukune, but you don't have to be all formal just because I'm the headmaster or anything. Call me anything you'd like!"

                Just in case, you decide to stick with Aono san.

                "Um, Aono san, if I may ask, why was I called up here?"

                The couple gazes at each other, and exchange a smile.

                "Well, Mizore san has said a lot about you! I just wanted to see you for myself, and possibly get to know you better!"

                You immediately feel an immense pressure lifted off of you.

                "Come in, (Y/N) san!"

                You go into the main chamber, which is eerily decorated with human skulls and such. There are also many mysterious artifacts – one is a shattered rosary, an exact copy of Moka's rosary, sealed up in a frame and put on the wall. After admiring the artifacts for a few moments, you sit down in a plush seat, and feel immediately at home. Moka brings coffee, which you thank her for. Who knew that the incredibly powerful headmaster and his wife would be so charming? Maybe that's part of their monster forms or something. You doubt it, though... Moka has fangs, which frightens you and puts you on edge. You suppose she's probably the infamous monster, an S-class vampire. You keep it in your mind to treat her with the upmost respect, as well as her charming husband.
