@Zetsuko

Moriko was about to answer Nybras question when Aku began to speak. She listens closely to what he said. Moriko was happy to hear that there where a few classes to choose from. The only thing that worries her was the punishment. It just makes no sense to her. Why would you punish your students with death, moriko remembered what Thanalog had told the previous night.
@KindledBeast
Then again Moriko felt eyes on her and looked up at the new person who sat across the room. What does he want from me?? she thought. Then he began to speak, he said his name was Alastair.

[Zetsuko]

Nybras turned his attention to Aku as he addressed the students to tell them about the classes...and the punishment for being late. he wasn't actually sure if Aku was serious or joking, he seemed the sort to do either, well if he is serious hopefully he'd mention when the classes started and where they needed to go for them.

[KindledBeast]

@Vampy
After bishop had finished listening to Aku he decided to speak agin to Morkio, "cat got your tongue?" He said with a wink as his food finally arrived in a beautifully decorated goblet. Closing his eyes and slowly smelling the ichor bishop smiled agin before taking a sip and opening his eyes agin. "Now that's so damn good ichor he thought to himself."

[Aqutanama]

Aqutanama felt like his point was well received as he leaned back in his chair. A weight seemingly lifted from his ancient shoulders as he finally relaxed a little bit. There was a light sound of someone walking towards the group. A small man but looked more like a young teen more than anything walked into the room wearing a mostly blue robe? Well, it seemed like a robe but was more akin to the Japanese robe known as a yukata or Kimino. He had short spiky platinum blue hair and had a folder under one arm.

“Class will begin in a half hour.” He said with a somewhat boyish voice. It seemed that he was still getting past puberty. He then turned his back and didn't seem to care who or what was in the room. Either arrogant or ignorant it didn't make a difference. He cared nothing for the power in the room or what it meant to him.

Aqutanama couldn't hold back the small smile on his face at the young man as he looked at the rest of the people there. He was probably one of the youngest in the room but held almost as much raw power and refinement as Thanalog. Aqutanama looked around the table taking a final swig of his drink and excused himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The classroom was a strange one. There were no tables in it or chairs for that matter. It was empty or so it seemed. In the center of the room the light blue haired boy sat as if meditating. He didn't move or even look alive, for all they knew he was dead.

[Vampy]

Moriko looked at where bishop was and studied him for a little and not saying anything back at him. She finished her meal and stood up from her sear. Moriko noticed that Nybras was already done. She looked around the room and started to walk to where the lessons were given.

[KindledBeast]

Bishop glared at the girl and the other boy as they ignored him. "Well I see this school teaches people to control blood lust, apparently not manners." He said under his breath as he got up and headed to the class. The instructor appeared to be a boy getting out of puberty.

[Zetsuko]

Following the others Nybras entered the classroom just after them, taking a quick glance at the blue-haired instructor before looking for a seat and eventually getting one next to Moriko, casting a smile at her before sitting down.

[Aqutanama]

The boy sat there for a moment allowing everyone to enter the room. A pules of magic could be felt emanating from him. The pulse closed the doors and locked them once everyone was inside. Finally he moved getting up and looking at each student. His gaze seemed to pierce into each of them as if he was reading something beneath them.

“Ah I see why the master wants you all as students.” He stated as his eyes fell over the infernal.

“Yes even you three.” He admitted as he looked at each demon or devil. Soon his eyes fell upon the others that were in the room.

“Today I'm going to teach you about the basics of magic.” He informed them as he moved about the room and slapped the air. It sounded as if he hit a desk. From that his his magic flooded the room and revealed the tables and desks. Some had followed instinct to find these seats and probably had access to basic sight magic. Once revealed the infernal moved off the right side of the room and took seats. He cleared his throat and looked at them.

“Sorry, but there is a seating chart.” He informed them as he waved a hand and the seats rearranged themselves. The Tables sat in sets of three and all up front and there were only six chairs.

“One Good and one Evil.” He informed them as their heads came up on the seats for each of them. Miriko was seated with the infernal male. Bishop was seated with the new and unknown infernal and lastly Nybras was seated next to the female.

“These seating arrangements are made to see just how different your magic is. As well as to see just how much you can cooperate with being opposites.” He said as he looked at each of them.

“As I was saying before… Today’s class is going to be training with magic and the basics. Of course you all have some screwed up and incorrect version of training when it comes to the use of magic.” He informed them all as he sat down, a chair rose from the ground and lifted him so he was at head level with them.

“Now for the fist lesson, get to your assigned seats.” He instructed them without any manners. He was here to teach them not coddle them like children. If they were to live through his masters plans they would need a tough instructor. That was who he was and what he planned. As soon as each student took their assigned seats he would continue. If they didn't want to they would be forced away from the other seats because of their own magical aura.

“Now that that is settled. I want to know what you all know about the minds eye or the third eye as some call it.” He started as he looked around the class.

[Vampy]

Moriko stood near the window and the young teacher showed the seats. Moriko's was near the front. Before taking place she looked around to see where other others where placed. The explanation seemed right to her, she couldn't wait to learn. the third eye... she thought it seems familiar to her she had heard about it some were.

[Zetsuko]

Nybras took his new seat a little hesitantly, a bit nervous about being seated next to the succubus from before. "A-a mind's eye is the ability to see other worlds or to see the arcane links in this world. it is a way of seeing beyond the normal senses and some believe it to be a way of reaching enlightenment"

[KindledBeast]

Bishop looked at his seat and hesitated to sit, the student he'd be sitting by had aspects of a Strigoi he was struggling to identity this being's sex. He decided to take his seat glancing over to the infernal next to him, as he spoke under his breath, "Filth." He made sure to to fully glance at it but make it to where to the infernal knew he was referring to it. After that bishop quickly turned to the small teacher. "Well I've seen that the third eye also known as the inner eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras, precognition, and out-of-body experiences. But that is all the knowledge I have of it.

[Aqutanama]

@Vampy

All infernal seemed to be distant and allowing their “team” to answer the questions. The male

“I suppose you need something to call me because we are on a team.” He pondered as he sat there.

“You may call me Suedomsa or Dom for short.” He finished as he looked at Moriko. His smile was charming and if one stared too long they would feel comfortable with him. He didn't look like what one would think a demon or devil would look like. He looked human for the most part. His face was strong and intimidating when angry but gentle at the same time, especially when he was talking “peacefully” with someone.

@Zetsuko and @KindledBeast

The instructor watched as each student seemed to flinch at the question except for Bishop and Nybras. As they explained what they thought the third eye was a small smile, very small smile touched the outsides of his mouth. It quickly vanished as he cleared his throat.

“You are both somewhat correct. However, the part or parts that are correct...” He paused as he looked at the room.

@Zetsuko, @KindledBeast and @Vampy

“Some can use the sight to see into other realms and even into the future. Then again, everyone who uses the sight has a chance of going insane… so perhaps they were just crazy casters.” He noted as he spoke out loud.

“The first level and lowest level is the safest but it still leaves the user at risk. It allows the user to see the world and beings as they were truly meant to be. Demons look like Demons, Cows look like cows. However, there are creatures who are twisted, strong and as ancient as some of the strongest old ones.” He paused again as he looked at Bishop.

“Most all of those are different levels of the sight.” He admitted as he walked over to the table. He couldn’t help but caress the sheets of paper on it as he took them into his hands.

“Here.” He simply stated as he handed out blank papers.

“You are to study with your partner until you both can read the pages. Half of the message is written in something that the good can read and the other half…” He informed them leaving that hanging. If they were smart enough they would figure it out.

“Dismissed.” He said as he moved back to the spot they found him in.

[Vampy]

@Aqutanama

Moriko was starring at the board thinking of the answer then she hears a voice talking to her. Moriko turned her head and looked at her partner. The way he smiled at her gave her a warm feeling so she smiled back. " Dom.... That sounds fun. I will call you Dom then." Moriko replayed while smiling. " I'm Valencia, You may call me how you want I don't really care about that." She spoke honest to him. He didn't look really demon like, for her it was only normal that people looked human but with demon or animal like thing such as ears and tails.

The teacher handed a blank paper but he said that there was something written on it. Can't see any words on it... Maybe you could see it trough that third eye that he spoke of. Moriko though thinking of what was said about it.

[KindledBeast]

A sinister grin stretched across Bishop's face as he heard the teacher speak. He slowly turned to his infernal partner as they received their paper, he slowly inspected the paper the lines were blurred and gumbled he wasn't sure how to make all of it out maybe it was because of his neutral standpoint. Bishop began focusing as best as he could as the top of the message started to become more clear but some from the lower message faded away.

[Zetsuko]

Nybras looked from the paper to the instructor, back to the paper, his partner, and finally the paper again. This seemed a bit farther along than the basics of magic but maybe the standards were just different here. Regardless this is what they were doing now. He started by putting his hands together and forming a triangle between them with his thumbs and forefingers, he then rested his chin on his thumbs and put his snout through the triangle until the peak formed by his forefingers was between his eyes. A faint glow crept into his eyes as he focused on the paper. He was using a simple spell, something meant for smaller things such as this.

not that it was easy

A moment later a surprisingly loud thunk would sound in the room as his head landed snout first on the table with his horns sticking up, one arm splayed on his desk and the other hanging off the side. His breathing indicated that he'd managed to render himself unconscious.

[Aqutanama]

"Tisk tisk." Could be heard from the instructor as he noticed that Nybras fainted. Nybras's partner started to chuckle but stopped shortly after as her head hit the desk. Her face was smashed against the table as she drooled as if in a deep sleep.

"Now remember children this is a team based event." He reminded them as he took a few steps forwards. The others seemed to nod thinking about how to make it a team based event. This was the trick as most would use the minds eye on an object. Too focused on the object the object itself would render one person unconscious and then the closest other next to them.

"When two minds eyes hit the paper it will reveal the secrets. First you will need to figure out how to use your minds eyes. Then after that use them together." He instructed them as he prodded the other two.

"Wake up." He whispered into their ears and with that they would. In this classroom he was "god."

He went over the materials again for the sleeping "couple".

"You two looked so cute together. Sleeping like an old married couple." He joked but looked really serious.

"Too bad you only look like it and don't act like a damn team." He scolded them and hit a cane into the ground.

"If you know how to activate your minds eye, I suggest teaching your partner." He instructed as he sat down and started to read a book.

@Zetsuko
"You have a really good grasp on magic." The succubus informed him as she whispered to him, she moved a bit closer almost touching him.

"Perhaps you could teach me." She whispered into his ear, her breath impacting against his scales.

@Vampy

"Do you know how to use your minds eye?" Dom asked her as he looked into her eyes.

"Its like opening up to your lover, however, instead of losing your mind that is the part you open." He whispered to her as he moved closer.

"Now close your eyes and I will help you reach your peak." He instructed her as he got really close to her.

"Don't worry I can't do anything to harm you and I want to pass this class, so we can move on." He reassured her as he got close enough to touch her.

"Will you trust me?" He asked as he opened his hand and waited for her to grab it.

[Vampy]

Moriko looked at her partner. The warm feeling that she got from him seemed to become stronger that her cheek became red. Dom asked her if she know how to open her minds eye. She shook her head meaning no and Dom continues. Moriko wanted to be honest since that would be better for it but she just can't really trust him. "I'm sorry but I don't." she said and broke the eye contact. "I will try it." Moriko left it with that. All her instincts were telling her: NO, don't do it, Don't trust him. Moriko took a deep breath and quickly grabbed his hand before she changed her mind. She looked back up to him. "I'm ready." she spoke when she closed her eyes and tried to relax a bit. This wasn't easy for her to do.

[Zetsuko]

Nybras picked his head up and blinked lazily a few times barely hearing the instructor. The most movement came when the succubus whispered right in his ear, causing him to turn his head without really realizing their closeness. His snout lightly slapped into her cheek but he didn't pull back, his slightly widened eyes looking back into hers. While still practically nuzzling into her cheek he muttered "u-uhm, yeah, I think I could, I-if you wanted"

[Aqutanama]

@VampyWhen Moriko grabbed his hand darkness took her over. She would be able to feel his hand but not see him or hear anything, save for his voice.

“Currently you are surrounded by a spell that will awaken your minds eye.” She could hear him whisper as if his voice would shatter the illusion.

“I have a knife in my other hand and am going to slice your forehead.” He explained as she could see a pinpoint in the darkness. It moved at strange angles, revealing that it was indeed a blade.

“Your minds eyes is most of the time located here.” He explained as he stabbed into the darkness just above her head.

“With it you can see in a 360. However, most only use it to see with their eyes.” Again he stabbed the darkness creating light in it.

“Your field of vision while the minds eyes is open is technically limitless. However, when people use it to see with their eyes it takes away a lot of your usual sight.” He said as he cut lines in her peripheral. He never actually cut into her head like he said he would. However she could see the stabs and it was something that technically didn't really exist.

“Oh and everything you see with your minds eye never leaves you. You will always see it. Like being in a dark room and having someone flash a light. That image will be with you forever.” He informed her as he gently stroked her cheek.

“Now open your eyes.” He instructed. If she did she could be able to see with her minds eye. However, she would see him as a twisted grotesque creature.

@Zetsuko

Her perky perfectly sized breasts were warm to Nybras as she cooed. She let out a small smile and bit her lip.

“Please teach me, oh Master.” She purred as she gently placed a delicate hand against his face. Slowly she backed up and looked at him like a starved student waiting to learn. Her body jiggled in all the right places and she was smiling. It looked different than the seductive nature you would expect from a Succubus in a way. She was really into learning from him and took it seriously. If he noticed he could tell that she was eager to learn but also could use the knowledge against him.

“Don't worry Master. If I fail to learn, you can always punish me!” She exclaimed, bouncing a little as if she wanted to take her time and learn the hard way.

[Vampy]

Moriko listens closely to what Dom said. She tried her best to calm her instincts and when they did she followed his instructions without making a error. At first she was scared when a blade appeared out of nowhere then the sound of Dom's voiced followed and Moriko calmed down. When it was over She was left with a little confusion as she opens eyes slowly. The light from the room was very bright for her eyes. While looking to the front of the room she held his hand a little tighter. Then she turned to Dom's direction. When Moriko saw him, her instincts returned immediately and in less then one second a green glowing arrow was pointing at where his neck was supposed to be. Moriko couldn't believe what she saw. The trust that Moriko had given to him disappeared. The arrow was now against his neck as Moriko tried her best to understand the situation.
