DoD in Highschool (English)

Chapter 8

Lucifer explained it all to Kagami- slowly and understandable with such a confidence that Kagami was completely fascinated. Still, everybody kept staring at Lucy with a look that yelled: ‘What the hell is that guy?!’ When he was done with his explanations, Lucy folded his arms. “Did you get it now?”, “I did.” Kagami nodded. “I guess.”, “You should better make sure of it. Do some tasks at home and show them to me tomorrow. I’ll give you feedback. Deal?” Kagami nodded. “Deal. Thanks, Kaito-kun.”, “You’re welcome. Now get focused on Psychology instead of Math, empty your mind and take care about it afterwards. Okay?” Kagami nodded. Lucy turned around and went back to his seat. Kagami gazed after him with a dreamy look.

In Psychology, Satan paid a lot of attention. As a school subject, he would have never expected it. Ever since he was a demon, he was capable of smelling the scent of fear or sadness and recognizing when people were lying. He could hear when their hearts started beating faster and smell when they were sweating from nervousness. He never had any problems with that. But he was keen on learning even more about how to read people. Or to manipulate them. Or maybe even both. Today’s theme was masochism and sadism and Satan was very interested in the psychological explanation for these things.
In the final break, Satan went into the Computer Room where Kenji always remained between the lessons. He checked on the computers there and was available every time for the students who had problems with their own computers and cellphones. Satan decided to pay him a visit. Kenji was sitting in front of a computer and did something- only god knew what- before he noticed Satan. “Oh. Hi, Raiden.”, “Hi. You busy?”, “Well, I’m currently administrating the server here. Why? You need help or something?”, “No. I was just looking in on ya.”, “Ah, cool.” Kenji smiled and leaned back. “Are you bored?”, “No...” Satan walked in and sat down on the table. “I’m just not necessarily interested in meeting Keiko somewhere on the school yard. I’m gonna deal with him later.”, “In P.E.? Do you plan to dig a volleyball into his face or somethin’?”, “Euh… probably. Not intentionally, of course, but it would be so freaking funny.”, “I agree.” Kenji nodded and looked on the screen again and clicked on something with his mouse before he turned his head again. He wanted to say something but then was harshly interrupted by yelling voices from the outside. “He’s MINE, Mio! You got that?! MINE!! Don’t ever dare to ask for his number ever again!!”, “Irina, I never intended to-”, “I don’t the hell care about your excuses! Usui is my boyfriend and that’s the end of the announcement!” Kenji and Satan looked at each other before Kenji sighed and got up. “I’ll be right back.” He went to the door and looked into the hallways. Irina and Mio were standing opposite each other. Kenji leaned against the wall and folded his arms. “Ladies… sorry to interrupt you, but could you please quit yelling through the whole school building? I needa work over here.” Irina turned around to the blue-haired guy. “Shut up, Kenji! And mind your own business! This is something I have to talk about with Mio in private!” Kenji wanted to growl something back when Satan appeared next to him. “You can still do it else where.” he said. When Irina saw him, she hissed. “Raiden.”, “That’s my name. Yeah.” His destructive glare rested on her. “You are very impolite today. I suggest you should try to be more respectful towards others. You of course can do the opposite, but I can guarantee you that not everyone is pleased about this. You may be the most popular girl in class, but that doesn’t mean you are allowed to treat any of us like you just did. Kenji requested something to you politely. And besides...” He looked at Kenji and than back at her. “...you don’t own Usui-kun, got that? Your name isn’t written anywhere on his skin and you also have no right to decide above his head what’s going on. He’s not a thing. He’s human and humans do not belong to anyone. Just remember that, Blondie. And now be quiet or else I’m really getting in a bad mood. Come, Kenji.” He turned around again and went back into the room. Kenji followed him and closed the door. “Bitch.” Satan growled. “Two more seconds and you would’ve lost your composure, right?” Kenji assumed. “Yeah.” Satan snorted. “I’m not pissed this easily, but she is definitely something that chews through my nerves and makes me want to punch her face.”, “I can understand that. Seriously, she’s such a cow.” Kenji sat down on his chair and he was visibly stressed out. “I mean… what gives her the right to talk to me like this?”, “Nothing. That’s why I was reacting like this in the first place. And if she’s ever going to bark at you again like this, I’ll seriously….!”, “… One should better not mess with you, as I can see. You are super relaxed and stuff but that can change.”, “You’re right. I guess I need the whole rest of the break to calm down.”, “Feel free to stay here.” Kenji offered, opened his school bag and took out a thermos flask. He opened it and tipped tea into the lid. “I need some tea.”, “Do I smell caramel?” Satan asked. “And… apple?”, “You’re good.” Kenji smiled. “Yeah, it’s caramel apple pie tea.”, “Something like that exists?”, “Actually, yeah. There also exists chocolate tea. Brownie or something, I guess. But for tea… well, that doesn’t really fit. I took a taste and swore to never try it again. Even though I like chocolate.” Kenji bend down and took a chocolate bar out of his bag. “Since we’re talking about chocolate… You want some?”, “You’re seriously asking me that?” Satan asked. “Of course I want some!” Kenji grinned, opened the chocolate and broke off a part for his friend. “Here you go. A bit of chocolate is a remedy for the nerves.”, “Absolutely.” Satan took it. “Chocolate is god’s apology for broccoli.”, “Mention that word again and I’ll vomit on your table.” Kenji said and glared at Satan. “I warned you for the last time.” Satan smiled. “Broccoli.”, “Fuck you, Raiden.” Satan started laughing. Kenji tried to stay serious but he couldn’t and joined in to his laughter. He struggled for breath and held his stomach. “Hahahahah… Hey, dude...” He looked up and sipped his tea. “What if you needed to quote a famous person? What kind of quote would you take?”, “Why are you asking?” Satan questioned. “Well, we’ve been talking about that in History last Friday, before you two came to our class.”, “Ah, I get it. Let’s see...” Satan started smiling. “I came, I saw and I forgot what I was doing.” Kenji quickly swallowed his tea before he was able to spit it all out from laughter. “Hahahahah! You’re quite awesome, you know that, pal?”, “Thanks.” Satan put his hands on his hips. “Once in a while, someone amazing comes along. So here I am.”. “This place needs messed up and simply funny people like you! Seriously!” Kenji ate his chocolate. “Without you, everything used to be so freaking boring and now, you make me laugh, like, nearly every day. School is already stressful enough, so I need that!”, “You’re welcome, mate.” Satan showed him his raised thumb.
