The jig is up.

Enjoy.

You looked over your shoulder to see Tomao grab her jaw in pain. While Theobald over there is waiting to toy with Kei. Fishy-fishy going to take the bait. You're on their turf, but salt water is home field advantage for the two of you as well.

"You know Tamao, you're quite pretty. Though I knew that someone having a club with specifically a salt water pool had to have some sort of water monster form. No men raised awareness too."

( Salt water pools aren't common where I am at all. And this timeline is in the 2000s. Even more rare.)

"Ouch! Jerk. You're friggin hard."

"Lewd." You smirked.

On Theo's side Kei is annoyed and doesn't know that she's in trouble. Theo was being aware of his surroundings and at the same time he wore a massive smirk on his face.

"What are you?" Asked Kei.

"Sea Warlock. Salt water. I have just as much advantage as you. How about that?" Grinned Theo.

"Damn you."

"Aw. Terrible. Beautiful too. But it's not feeding time Honey."

"So you can teleport?

"I replace myself with a small amount of water and end up a few meters to where I choose. Something of the sort. I can also do spells of course." He raised his hand and wiggled his fingers to add a cocky swagger. A jet sprung underneath Kei as she shot up. The water shot up.

Kei was bouncing and flailing at she couldn't swim out of the fountain like jet that for being shot from the pool. "Whaaa! What's going on?" She cried.

"Magic." Theo snapped his fingers. The water stopped as the siren hit the pool with a backsplash. "Got it now?"

"And what about your friend?"

"Cory? Good luck eating him. That's like chewing a mountain or a meteor. That ain't happening."

Back to you and Tomao. She is back in her first form. Tail shown but those rows or teeth and eyes are back to a pretty mermaid or normal human form. Contemplating on what is next for her and her girls. Clearly two boys were not going to be easy bait.

"So what's your game?" She asked you./'

"I'd say come here fishy fishy but that doesn't sound like a pickup line. You know what I mean? So how do we go about this from here? You or any of your girls can't kill me like you did to the other guys. Good luck making Theo your food too. Except I can do it without breaking a sweat. You want to negotiate?"

Tamao growled at you. "What do you want?"

"Being able to head to the pool is nice. Salt is just right and hits home."

"Okay..."

"Theo too." 

"Okay..."

"So the lot of you going to break our balls or can we do this peacefully?"

Tamao was going to level with you. "In all fairness, I'm surprised you want to negotiate."

"I'm a reasonable man. I'm hard headed by nature but I have feelings too. It's just how it is."

The other girls backed off to the edge. Kei kept her distance from Theobald due to fear. Then it was you and Tamao continuing to talk this out a few feet apart. She looked around at everyone and she did have to settle. "So what do you want?"

"Anything?" You smirked.

"Well..." This is when she was concerned about your judgement.

"So obviously Theo and I come here as part of the club and you're going to do your own thing anyway, and is there anything you want negotiable on your part? Outside our flesh of course." You are rolling the dice and see if this can work. 

"Kept to yourselves?" She asked wondering if this was going to spread around the whole campus.

"Shutting up." You nod.

"He won't play tricks on us?" Referring to Theobald and his magic.

"Honestly what do you think Theo and I are going to do?"

"You think you could help out to make sure the pool is clean of obvious debris?"

"It's mine as much as yours. That's only natural. I don't expect you to watch me on a beach chair drinking from a coconut with an umbrella in it."

Tamao seemed impressed. "Very good. We have quite the understanding of each other."

"Who knows what could happen now. Outside you not chipping a tooth or two."

"I got to say I'm impressed. You know men are mostly all visual. Meanwhile a lady is rather, smart. Then you go into the fact you are attractive, charming, intelligent, speak very well, and there just might be a chance that one of these girls might want to just scoop you right up."

"I'm not at risk. Not opposed to it if that's what you're asking."

"Rather, how about it?" She smirked and extended her arm.

"Wait, you mean?"

"You might learn a few things. You think all young men are all of those things I just mentioned and experienced in every way of a woman?"

"Not wrong. So Tamao, what's your game? What are we talking?"

"Let's negotiate. There is a lounge down the stairs next to the locker room. After club it gets quiet. We can talk through things."

"Okay. So, we take off and come back in an hour or so?"

"Kei can keep your friend Theo occupied if he chooses to Cory. Though that sounds like a plan. Whether you can to be in a swimsuit or school attire is up to you."

"Might as well to wear casual stuff. School is out right?"

"That is true. I'll make sure I have tea."

"I insist I boil the tea. I'll bring the pot."

"Such a gentleman." She cooed. "See you soon Cory."

"Theo, you got it?" You looked over.

"I think I'm out for a bit." Using his magic ability he was able to shoot himself from the middle of the pool to the deck. "Land-ho boss."

"Gravy. Let's be out for now." You look over your shoulder to Toamo. "See ya soon. Oh and I'll eat before getting here too."

"Good idea."

You swim to the deck as you meet up with Theo. Going back to the dorm to change back. The mermaids in the pool are shocked that two boys just left without feeding involved. Though they did have their fill. Something was up. Something was just in the air. Confusion, arrogance, defeat, failure, and to a small handful, lust. The two of you boys were in for it. But had the high ground. Well, actually, controlled the tide? Something like that...

Had to add a little author dialog humor. Gotta live a little.
