Damien scoffed at Kireina's words saying that she was looking forward to being roommates, "I doubt it." Without another word, he shifted back in his seat, pulling a large, old, almost tattered book from his pack, most of the title that once was there, now faded away with age, leaving only the letters 'E  ar     n P  '. He cracked open the pages of the book before reading the rest of the trip.

Faster than he had hoped, they had arrived at the school, and he reluctantly put away the book in his pack, which seemed like it couldn't fit much else. He looked off in the distance of the fight in the arena, only paying slight attention to the announcement of matches, as he watched intently until everyone started getting off of the bus. He grabbed up the pack, and followed suit. Once off of the bus, he overheard the conversation between the older boy, which he now learned was named Hisoka. He chuckled darkly at Hisoka's overconfidence "The closer you attempt to fly towards the sun, the harder your fall into the sea." He spoke aloud to Hisoka, as they walked.
