"I'll go first. Since all of you might ruin this chance to confirm it." Izumo said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"The Rin that had enrolled in this school just last week, is that really him in flesh and blood? And not just any kind of demon or a demon king no less?"

"Yes, that is him in flesh and blood. The only demon king who can shapeshift is the demon king of spirits. Azazel. Any more demons that can shapeshift can be easily identified as they can't completely copy all of their features." Mephisto answered and Izumo nods. "Who's next?"

"How was he alive?" Shura asked immediately. This question has been always there and wants an answer.

"From what I have heard of, he was revived. I do not know who had revived him, it could be possible he has revived himself by sacrificing his human soul during his travel to another dimension. He might have met someone who had taken pity on him and formed a deal and made him sacrifice his human soul. If that ever happened" Mephisto smiled at her and it ticks Shura off.

"But who?" Sheimi bluntly asked and clasped her hands on her mouth. "Well, again, I do not know who is so generous to do that. But it could not be possible also as I can still sense some of his human soul" Mephisto said.

"How long did you know about Rin is alive?" Bon held back the urge to grab the headmaster's collar as he was already angry from the previous behavior he had given.

"Before the day he had enrolled," Mephisto said and looked at Bon's eyes. Mephisto's eyes had glowed and Bon shivered.

"Well, at least now we have confirmed that is Rin is alive and most importantly, was fine. But that doesn't answer why was he acting so differently. So why was he acting so different?" Shima asked and Mephisto raised an eyebrow.

"And can you elaborate 'different' for me?"

"Well, when he first enters the classroom, of course, he is still himself but when it comes to the point where Sheimi started to apologize, he became cold and his stares since last week are kind of disturbing. His smiles were not as warm as before and were always avoiding us as much as possible." Mephisto scoffs mentally in his mind.

"Well, isn't that just normal?" Bon stands up and slams his hands on top of the headmaster's desk. His face was fuming anger. "That is not normal! Rin loves being with us! He would always smile and give light to our dull classroom even if he was an idiot!" Bon exclaimed.

Mephisto stares at him for a while and sighed. "How about you find those answers you seek for yourself now? It is clearly obvious why he had turned into his opposite self." Bon was about to yell again when the door to the office opened slightly.

All of them turned around and were surprised to see, Rin holding a stack of books.

Rin clearly notices the few presences inside the room, but he needed to give the books to Mephisto immediately. Rin approaches the desk and puts the towered books down on the desk slowly and gently.

"And what are these?" Mephisto asked and grabs the top book on the stacks. "A project or something like that. Can you hide it for a while? I've run out of space inside my apartment." Mephisto nods and snaps his fingers, the books have teleported inside his mansion.

Rin then looks at Yukio first, "Aren't we supposed to attend class? It's already past 15 minutes since the class started." Yukio looks down, refusing to answer Rin.

Rin turns his head towards the exwires to get a response. "Well, we wanted to know if you are really the...original Rin we knew in flesh and blood so we came here to ask the headmaster if it was really you. Then we learned that you revived and here we are waiting for anyone to answer why you were so cold and heartless towards us." Shima responded without thinking and got smack in the head, surprisingly, by Konekomaru.
