|“Everything had always been simple and unfettered but, once the chains are thrown. All will be complicated."|
Zenith took his seat at his usual corner. The other students were once more in a state of respect, fear, and apprehension. However, it was bit dampened by the appearance of the new addition to their class. A pure-blood himself, Luke sat beside the white pure-blood who was the poster boy for the word emotionless. A negligible and completely unrelated idea entered his mind. He could use Zenith as an image model. Oh, this would be fun. It was then he finally noticed the silent classroom. Even the homeroom teacher was quiet, this is why he dislikes the traditional hierarchy. But then again, it cannot be helped.
Glancing at Zenith who remained unflinching and was currently opening some of his notes, Luke took the helm. "Oh, please proceed!" He stated this with a bright smile which made the other vampires more wary. Of course, pure-bloods had always been contrite, elusive, distant, and awfully dangerous. However, this newcomer seemed to exude something differently. Anyway, the class finally began as he released a sigh and looked at his ward with a disappointed expression. "You know, you could have just smile." Yes, Luke's effort was in vain and Zenith hearing this simply closed his notes and finally looked at the man whom he had called to him.
“No." After saying that, Zenith returned his attention to the class lecture. Luke sighed once more and the looked towards the board. The boy was as stubborn as ever. This is why things happened as it is. Well, he was not the kind to fully intervene on the white pure-blood's personal matters or preferences. He is only here to make sure he remains alive until that promise and wish comes to full circle. Oh yes, he knew what propels the Rosenkreuz pure-blood forward. "I'll just take a look around." Zenith simply nodded as an acknowledgement of Luke's word and just like that an amused smile was on the pure-blood bodyguard's lips.
Obsidian eyes read through the documents in front of it. It was a report regarding the attempted assassination of the Vampire King by the Purist Hunters. This had been what the current and reestablished Hunter Association call those who were still loyal to the Ex-President. Of course, all the said assassins had been personally incinerated by the pure-blood king. In the end, the Rosenkreuz Lord truly did not have a shred of morality. His very persona and entity are nothing more but an illusion just like water. All that is reflected is that of what the other person wanted to see. It is why such dreadful actions come completely normal.
Lowering the documents on the desk, the one known as Mr. Avalon, the hunter president, had an amused smile on his lips. He had also received a report of the casualties which included that of a human girl named Haruka Yamazaki and then the new student for the Night Class, Luke Evalice. "So, he had finally come out to play." The pure-blood who had now become Zenith's personal guardian. How ironic and twisted life could be. But then again, it was something he had expected. Now, the pieces of this game were slowly being moved into the light. Whether, they will be ready or not. It was something he was truly looking forward to.
Who knew, those insects with the right push did their job well. It had always been easy for someone like him to manipulate the driving force of someone to his advantage. Anyway, his thoughts were disturbed when his phone rang. Answering it, he heard one of the staff assigned for a certain experimentation. It seemed the parameters were all stable and they were right on time. That was certainly good news. It would not be long until his desired completion will be of a reality. "Proceed also inform Dahlia, I will have her handle Alice and Ex's maintenance for a time-being." The call ended at that. It was because, he would need Hughes' attention sorely on one matter only from now on.
But
As for Luke, he littered around the silent hallways as he hummed a melody. The lectures were rather boring for him. At the same time, he was not the kind to simply sit still for such long periods of time. It would appear that everyone was in their classes. So, there was no one else to see him loitering about. He also took this opportunity to take in the atmosphere of Cross Academy. This school had always been one of the most talked topic among vampires and even hunters. It was after all the symbol of a peace done with the blood of many. Well, it is why he was certain this place will be undoubtedly be embroiled in one way or another.
In any case, Luke could see why Zenith seemed fond of this place although, the boy would not speak of it. How quiet. How serene. How peaceful. How breathtakingly normal. But, nothing lasts forever. Even them, pure-bloods known to transcend the grips of time are destined to vanish at some point. Because in the end, eternity and forever are simply fanciful words of broken promises and lies. Just like that, he continued on his way. It would also be a perfect time for him to look about Cross Academy or to meet, his charge's former bodyguards.
Speaking of which, his emerald green eyes met same-colored eyes as his. Luke smiled at this coincidence or is it now? Before him, a day class student with short brown hair and an armband which depicted her as a prefect. More than that, Luke knew by scent and presence alone what she is. Why wouldn't he know? "Good morning, Miss Prefect." He greeted with a cheerful smile as he bowed his head in a gentleman-like manner. No wonder that man was keen on this school. Everything began on that day and now it continues. "I hope you don't mind showing me around." Just like that, he waited for a reply while Zenith who remained in the classroom glanced at his window and felt the thirst growing stronger.
