A Dream for the Wicked. Yay! Development
As Enzo sleeps inside their extravagant school fortress. The colorful Bard unintentionally collects his past memories and projects a glimpse of it to the young mafioso's membrane without even knowing it. The bond between the master and servant is most common in the holy grail war, it is a tale to their past lives and how they came to be in the present.
Perhaps this unintentional projection was a backlash of Piper's views of the two hero's leaping into action in the fire incident, The Greek hero, Achilles and the mysterious Red Knight who wash away the sins of the land. A heroic deed, which Piper has strayed and lost his footing a long time ago. Oh, how he envied and loathe the act of a True Hero.
Would it be a pleasant dream where the underdog hero wins in the end and gets praises from the ones he saved or a haunting nightmare where a pragmatic hero who was betrayed by his very own people and resorted to evil witchcraft and repulsive acts? we shall see..
There was once a colorful Jester,
A fool who faithfully serve the royalty of Hamelin for decades,
Who was a nothing more but a tool for their bidding,
whether it was right or morally wrong,
The artist was obedient to their every word.
In the dark era of Hamelin,
A ruthless king sits on his throne like never before,
Callous and heartless he was,
For years the people suffer under the rule of this madman,
The mad king was obsessed with power and didn't care for the welfare of others,
unfit to rule his kingdom.
One day, The king had a wicked idea,
He demanded the mystical Bard to spread a devasting disease-ridden plague around the area,
just to impose his absolute authority amongst the land,
to fear him even more.
Loyal to the throne,
The jester comply to the king's heinous request to make him happy,
despite committing genocide and being the scapegoat for this atrocity,
The mad king didn't think this through and got infected by the rats by his own request,
leaving him terminally sick from the epidemic,
the irony is strong in this one.
Did the bard do this intentionally and have a conscience?
Did he commit treason to somehow save the people living in Hamelin?
Perhaps. Silence was his answer.
By default, The enigmatic jester ended the tyrant's reign through the plague he inflicted, becoming both the hero to the ones he liberated and the villain to the casualty of the infection he commits.
He was outcast all the same.
The loyal bard did his duty to the throne, The King's Jester did nothing wrong but to obey his Majesty's whim.
- "the Plague that Brought down the Town of Hamelin"
What a weird dream to start the day.

Academy, Day 3, Morning
My Mafia Academia
The school bell rang,
It's official, Class is now in session and the school is under new foreign management whether they like it or not.
Yesterday's disaster in Fuyuki didn't hinder the children and teenagers from attending their respective classes, Business as usual in the academy as a variety of students filled the school premise, partaking in their educational learning.
Even tho this is his well-guarded workshop, Piper isn't that evil from preventing the youth of Japan from their learning needs, He might have some plans to undermine the current state of the city but he values the future of its children as well. A bit too well as he creepily wanders around, ogling them from time to time, eyeing his prospect on his latest project perhaps? It's clear Piper has ulterior motives for why he keeps this ruse.
A white-haired man dress in a black suit takes a stroll along the school's corridors, needless to say, He's appearance is somewhat attractive and happens to look like some sad young french executioner from the past.
"Greeting, Senpai~" The students around warmly greet him as he goes by.
He casually nodded and continues to walk. Every time the pretty boy passes, He was greeted with respect and somehow drawn to his looks but somehow can't remember his face. Is this the curse of having Charisma and Information Erasure skill at the same time?
Who is this new principal that everyone seems to drawn into? Why it was none other than ya boy, Caster. Not wearing his usual flashy pimp hat and colorful garb. Enzo's fashion sense musta got into him and decided to wear formal black for a change to disguise himself to be more appealing to the common folks. It was slick and swanky almost making him bishounen main character material from the way he looks.
As acting principal of the school, Piper went to his master's office and closes the door, Keeping the facade of him managing the academy.
Well In fact, underneath this life-draining establishment where children come to suffer lies another life-draining establishment where children come to suffer filled with infectious rats and missing children, Empowering his territory 24/7. This was definitely Piper's evil lair under the facade of the school.
"Morning, Master Enzo, have a good night's rest?" He greeted the young mafia boy and skims over the documents he is carrying, checking on the production of his territory, police report that his familiar gathers around these parts and reports it to his master.
"Bills...Enrollment...Parent meetings..huh? What's this? a letter from the H.G.W committee" to his curiosity, Caster unravels the strange letter.
"Destroy the culprit who caused yesterdays tragedy, and receives two command seals.
-lil and greater ruler
"Hmmm, riveting.." Piper keeps a straight face and ponders for a while, before speaking to his master once again.
"Everything is according to plan, I've captured a few children under the impression of these kids have gone missing or died in the Miyama incident.
The Japanese enforcers are still clueless about this event, Hopefully, it stays that way. Of course, We can always use a few more to add to my collection for optimal efficiency." He reported with a straight face to Enzo.
"Second on the list, we have.. ah, yes our proposition with the little mage girl and her navy companion are on the way as we speak. Its only a matter of time before they received it." He said.
"Also there's an unexpected letter from Ruler," He projects the contents of the letter to his master. "What's your course of action on this? should I mark this as spam?" Caster asked his master.
@Seirei No Hai
At the Za Boat
A horde of overflowing Rats from the port throw themselves at the sea out of Piper's whim and swam like their life depends on it to catch up to the Adm. Fisher's battleship. These little critters stick together and halted right in front of starboard part of the ship almost looking like a small island in comparison to the huge floating iron fortress.
They scale the ship with the use of their tiny paws, clawing their way in until it reaches inside za tall boat and assembles itself into a man-shaped figure in front of the little girl.
"Greetings, little girl" Rat face spoke without warning. "forgive my intrusion, but I've been watching you err....*cough* I mean me and my master have been observing you and has taken interest in what you do and would like to personally meet you, all expense paid of course under my master's generosity." The shadowy figure offered.
"We can always use an ally on the sea, allow me to disclose my real name, in signs of good trust, My name is Pied Piper, Caster class," Rat-face said and takes a curtsy.
