-"You are?" The red haired teacher asked surprised as his lips twitched in a wide broad smile. "Yes! It has been so long since I had company!" He hopped up and down around the classroom so fast it was hard for Julius to keep his eyes on him. "Do you ever get urge to do something you are not supposed to!?" He ran up to Julius even more excited than before. -"I do, sometimes I guess." Julius find it no strange that some misbehavior could be very exciting at times. Of course it depended on how severe the trespassing of rules were but everyone had been naughty once in a while. "Like what?" The wild man's intense glare shifted everywhere around the classroom as if he was looking for something. -"Let's break some chairs!" He picked up one of the seats next to him and hold it high in it's legs. -"Wait! Why would we destroy the chairs?" Julius stopped him before he had a chance to smash the furniture on the floor. -"Do you need a reason? Don't do things because it has a purpose! Don't you wonder how it would feel to just trash everything in a room!?" Not being able to hold back himself any longer he smashed the chair against the floor, wood splinters shooting everywhere from the know demolished seat. [i]This guy really is nuts! But he has a point...[/i] Intrigued by the teacher's violent behavior Julius picked a chair himself and tried to smash it against the wall. Now Julius were by no means weak but the chair would barely crack. Annoyed Julius slammed the chair repeatedly on the wall until finally the back of the seat broke in half. Panting he looked back at the teacher who already had made his way through a whole row of seats. The red haired man didn't look strong with his rather lanky outlook but his furniture rampage told Julius another story. Picking up another chair Julius beat it along the iron bars back and forth, chipping off the legs bit by bit. -"I have to admit, it feels kind of satisfying destroying things like this!" Julius shouted over to maniac while starting to bash his third chair. -"Told you! Makes the blood rush doesn't it!?" In ecstatic trance the man punched one of the benches in half with his bare fists. [i]Such raw strength! Is this the work of magic?[/i] -"How do you do that?" Julius asked no longer able to hold back his wonders. -"Do what?" The red haired man stops and looks at Julius. -"Smash things so easily! what's your trick?" -"Magic! I think... Power just comes naturally to me! Jan tells me not to let my feelings and impulses control me but when I do I can do crazy things like this!" With a jumping motion he slammed his fists onto the floor, releasing an overwhelming wave of power around him. It pushed Julius and all the benches and chairs in the room against the walls, the door was ripped of it's hinges and crushed some poor student that was passing by. Even the iron bars and the windows were shattered and bent, blown away by the incredible force. Julius felt how the air in his lungs had been forced out as he had slammed against the stone wall and was now gasping for air. Julius wasn't hurt or mad though, only impressed. -"Could you teach me how to do that?" Julius asked still wheezing. -"Do you mean like, you want to become my student?" He asked back almost shocked. -"Ye, aren't you a teacher here?" -"I am, or should be at least. As you can see I'm not really teacher material." There were many mixed feeling in the teacher's voice. Joy, sadness, confusion and anxiety were some Julius could make out of what he heard. -"So where do I start?" Julius stood up and walked over to his new found teacher. The red haired man thought really hard. It looked as if he was vibrating even when he was trying standing still. Shining up like if an idea came to his mind he hurried to drag a bench to the center of the classroom. -"I want you to break this bench like I did!" He said enthusiastic. [i]{Strength check failed.}[/i] Mustering all the strength Julius had he slammed his fists against the bench. However the thick wooden school bench would not budge the slightest, there wasn't even a crack or dent left after the assault. "No no no no no! Use all your strength! Let all the power in your body flow from top to bottom, like you are made out of running water!" Julius shook his arms to let the pain out before he took another attempt at break the table again, now trying to follow his teacher's diffuse instructions. *Wham!* Another futile attempt. *Wham!* Julius' arms felt as if they were burning from the impacts. *Wham!* *Wham!* *Wham wham wham wham!* [i]Why won't this damn table budge!?[/i] With relentless rage Julius tried one last time. *Chrack!* The table split in half, splinters flying everywhere. Julius fell to the ground groaning in pain. Looking at his arms he saw blood running down from several small wounds. However these were not caused by any splinters. [i]The last strike was something different. It felt as if the blood in my body rushed through my arms and escaped my body! What did I do?[/i] -"You did it! You actually did it!" The red haired man shouted impressed! -"An impressive feat indeed." Julius got just as surprised as his teacher when he heard Jan's voice coming from the doorway. "A moment of your time please." Nervous Julius looked around the classroom. It was an utter mess of glass and wood spread all over the floor. -"Oh, hi Jan! Look I got myself a student today!" The teacher didn't seem bothered at all by the chaos created from their practice. -"I can see the Razzil, I'm very glad you are making progress." Jan walked right past Julius and Razzil and picked up a piece of paper hidden beneath the mess. [i]Is that the paper he wrote on when I got here?[/i] -"I also finished the paper as you asked me to! Isn't it great!?" Razzil as Julius now know him by sounded very hopeful. -"It is. Your handwriting is very close to readable as well. Your progress makes me proud Razzil, it really does, but this can not continue." Jan pointed at the serious mess in the classroom. -"But it's the only way I know how to teach Jan! I clean this up I promise!" -"You will, but the demolition of your classroom's interior ends today. It is very consuming both in time and resources to repair the damage you cause every time you happen to get a new disciple. Why do you think our students prefer to learn raw magic by their own rather than with you?" Razil lower his head in shame. "As for you Julius. Though it is not written in your pamphlet it's part of the unwritten school rules under [b]common sense[/b] that you are not allowed to destroy or damage the school's property. I realize it was your teacher who urged you to vandalize this classroom but you need to be punished nonetheless, although a bit more lightly. When afternoon's lessons are finished I want you to stop by the craft's classroom and help Basil. That would be all." Jan left the classroom still trying to read whatever Razzil had written. [hr] Auron was enjoying his lunch in peace. After a small talk with Sandor, as Auron had learned his name were, Auron had been excused for the rest of the lesson. Next time he would take part of the class like anyone else. [i]-How did that feel Auron?" -"I don't know sir, it feels strange... I can't describe it." -"As I imagined you possess some serious magical power. The Junior students who come here can't even make the plant wither, much less turn it into dust. I'm afraid to say this but you seem to have a natural talent for this kind of magic. Watch your back and put it to good use."[/i] Auron smiled at what happened earlier. [i]Maybe this place won't be so bad after all?[/i] -"Now that's something you won't see everyday! Whatever could it be that got your lips to turn into a smile?" Julius sat down next to Auron. -"Nothing. What gave you those wounds?" Auron nodded at the bright red dots all over Julius arms. -"Nothing. But at least I know how to use magic now! I think..." The last part was said very lowly. "You haven't seen Desmond anywhere have you?" -"The homeless one? No. He's probably still at the cottage wallowing in pity." -"I don't get it Auron. Why do you have to be so mean and bitter all the time? It's no wonder people spit in your food! Why don't you try to show some respect from time to time? Desmond actually lost his eyes!" -"And I almost got killed by my classmates today. But do you see me feeling sorry for myself? You don't know me in the slightest so don't judge me." Auron left the table and the dining hall to cool down. -"Then let me know you..." Julius said to himself before he dug into the meatballs and potato mash. With his good mood completely washed away Auron walked aimlessly through the corridors. Eventually he decided upon waiting in the classroom for his class to begin. The door to the classroom was wide open when Auron got there so he simply walked right in and sat down by one of the benches. -"Here early today Auron?" Tohrd asked as he polished a few skulls by the rostrum. It didn't look like human skulls though, they had much stranger shapes. -"Yes." Auron said bluntly as he heaved his body on top of the bench. -"Tough day I presume?" -"One could say so." -"Well don't just sit there like you've been defeated, get over here and help me instead." Auron saw no reason to refuse the invitation so he stood up and walked over to Tohrd. "Here, take this cloth and polish polish the skulls on the table." -"What kind of skulls are these?" Auron asked intrigued as he picked one up. It had three different eye sockets and one large, long hole which Auron assumed was a snout. -"Demon skulls of course. They will be of use in today's exercise." As Tohrd and Auron polished the different skulls more and more students began to drop in for today's class. All the skulls were properly polished when the classroom was about half full. "You've been a great help Auron, keep up the good work." Said Tohrd before Auron sat down by his bench again. "Let's begin with today's lesson. As we did this morning you will try to channel your magic through a demon skull to establish a link with a demon. The skulls contain traces of demonology magic and should help you finding a good wave-length to communicate through. A seasoned Demonologist won't need a skull to communicate but it's great for beginners to get a grasp of the feeling. Remember if you would happen to get a connection with a demon, don't be afraid! They will notice it and take advantage over you. Good luck!" Everyone, including Auron, walked up to the rostrum and picked a skull. Auron found himself a small and pointy skull with twisted horns. He placed it gently in front of him on the school bench. He placed a hand gently on top of the skull. Closing his eyes Auron could feel a very familiar feeling that he had felt many times back at the manor, the presence of demons. Gently Auron channeled his magic through the skull. It didn't take long before something happened. -"Aaah! What the buzzing!? My head is spinniiiiing!" Auron heard a shrill voice in his head screeching. -"Who are you?" Auron thought. -"Voices! I hear voices!!!" -"Would you calm down!" Auron thought now irritated. Apparently his thought's managed to silence whatever he was talking to. "Now, who are you?" -"Me? No one! Worthless, trash, scum!" -"Don't you have a name?" -"Why would I? I don't belong anyone." It was hard to determine whatever that was a sad or happy sentiment. "Who are voice inside head? Are you filthy being?" -"Who do you call filthy!?" -"Sorry sorry! But you filthy being?" -"What do you mean?" -2 "Are filthy being? Pale skin? Ugly nose? Dirty mind?" -"Are you asking if I'm human?" -"Yes! I asked if you filhty being!" -"I am 'a filthy being' yes. Why wouldn't you have a name?" -"I masterless, no filthy being wants trash. They don't become scrublord with scums." After that sad sentiment the connection broke. Auron looked around him. he was still in the classroom with other students sitting around that was still focusing just as hard as he had. Auron felt a slight headache from focusing too hard, he really put his back into that spell. The focus and calmness in the classroom was soon broken however by a catastrophe. From below one of the student's benches a twisted being crawled out of some sort of deep crimson mist. It wasn't taller than a child but much more bulky and fat. It's arms were long and covered in deformed spikes of bones. The face, wry and spotty without eyes and nose but instead two big wretched grins filled with sprawling, orange teeth. The skin was greasy and deep gray and his legs short and chubby with long claws. This monstrosity just climbed out of the floor, tumbling over the bench and pushed the now terrified student out of his chair. The whole classroom turned into utter panic as the demon crawled over the boy who wasn't older than Auron. -"Who are you calling fat and smelly filthy being?" Said the demon belching a rancid smell all over the classroom. Everyone looked in fear as the demon stroke one of his long slimy tongues over the boys wide open eyes. Auron looked at Tohrd who was standing behind the rostrum, trying to keep his laugh to himself. [i]Well he isn't going to help it seems...[/i] [hr] -"Where is my leg!? Hans what have you done!?" Desmond was shaking and panicking on top of the wooden table. All the stress had made him faint earlier. It would've actually been peaceful if it wasn't for what he woke up to. -"Well you didn't say no! So I thought you wanted me to take one of your limbs while you were taking a nap." -"I.. I.. I.. I.." When Desmond had woken up he did not feel his left leg. -"Calm down Desmond, it's just a leg. Besides you'll get it back in a week." -"Bu-bu-but..." When looking down he found only a stump in bandage. -"It's alright Desmond, here is a crutch for you. Just come back in a week and I'll put the leg back on alright? Now get out of here so I can prepare for the afternoon" Hans hurried out Desmond from his office and closed the door behind him. If one would walk by he would see a one legged boy in his underwear with a wooden crutch. Over is left eye he wore a black eye patch. He was weary, stressed, destroyed and broken. Not knowing what to do Desmond fell to the hard floor sobbing uncontrollably and didn't stop for a full hour. [i]What the fuck do I do now!?
