Four days. It had been four days since he had been reborn unto this world, as a Land God with no followers, a being that was almost as helpless as any other powerful supernatural being. It didn't frustrate Val Keireiss though. After all, considering all he had done in the past, and what he was now, it almost seemed like he was a different person, that another soul inhabited this spiritual body of his. Of course, it probably helped that he also wasn't as young. Closing his eyes and visualizing the long blue hair that he once had, as well as the white-blue armor and the translucent zweihander, he opened them again and looked at himself. His sword was now just shards, his armor had long rusted away, and he was currently being kept in arms-reach of the person who killed him. The immortal woman who possessed a power that he did not understand. Well, not that he really minded by now. Though humans in general appeared to be killing off the land that he protected, it seemed that they were at least accepting that there were supernatural existences that weren't evil, as well as doing some sort of 'environmental protection' thing that he didn't properly understand. Val yawned, closed his eyes, and went back to observing the land. With the hall monitor armband woven onto his student uniform, as well as his rather unique ability to see, hear, and feel all that stays within his 'territory', he was allowed to keep out of the auditorium and act as security. Also a gatekeeper of sorts, tallying whichever students were tardy or skipping. That duty gave him the privilege of being late for academic lessons as well, which was a nice bonus for being Yui's pet Land God. The constant stream of sweets was nice too, but the demon-sex-ed teacher who made those confections...not as nice. As students began to filter out of the auditorium, Val stretched out, yawned, and enjoyed the sunlight a little longer from on top the building. He almost took a nap, but ultimately, Gods didn't require sleep, so he fought against the urge and stepped off the building, floating gently down onto the ground instead. There were still textbooks to be obtained and a shrine to be cleaned, after all. Or at least, there were things to do, until he saw a person that didn't belong. No, not a person that didn't belong, but a person that he had seen before. One who bore the same face as another who was there, when he was killed. And one who now held the same aura that Val himself had, right up to the point where he was slain. It took three quick warps to bring him in front of the student who drew his sword against that man. Closer up, it seemed that time had been unkind to that red-haired man, for his face looked much less intimidating and more comical up-close. Well, whatever. If nothing else, his current relationship with Yui would be interesting to see. Maybe even a battle between that elusive Ninja Janitor (that even a God had trouble searching for) and the mysterious derp-faced man. First thing's first though. Turning around and placing one hand lightly on the tip of that brunette's fanciful two-handed sword, Val jerked his head towards the general direction of the man who was totally not going to be a super duper villain, saying, [b]“You're new to the school, right? Better get used to learning when to listen to the staff's instructions then.”[/b]
