Memphis
Memphis had paid little attention to all that occurred around him. Though of course knowing when a student arrived he did little to acknowledge their presence for the time being â he was too busy thinking to do much else. However when one redhead in particular gave him grief over his smoking the man did little but shrug in response, though similarly when a blonde-haired boy approached him the demon simply uttered a faint, "Yeah." One by one student came to the door and took a seat, and even the two mage teachers arrived in good time too. Once a general majority of students were present the demon began to move himself up and off his seat, though heâd give it another 5 to ten minutes to see if the remaining students showed up before doing anything official.
The demon walked around and sat on the edge of the desk before turning his attention to the two mage teachers who sat at his side. Crossing his arms he leaned in a little closer to them and said, "My master has spoken of you two though I only know you by name. My knowledge of yourselves goes no further than that." Indeed the elderly mage had mentioned the two mages and spoke quite highly and fondly of each, though he never really divulged any more information to the demon, other than they were friendly and he should get along with them. "I too wish for us to work well together, and I assume that you know by now that I am a demon and not a mage?"
Leaning back he let a thick puff of smoke escape the side of his mouth before turning to face the students who sat in front of him. For a minute he looked at each of them carefully, studying them almost, as he mentally guessed who he thought was the stronger and weaker of the class. "As you may be aware there are some changes made to the groups. Mr. Kurayami your group is still the same, though Mr. Akigawa instead of Hive you now have Kou, the rabbit demon. I expect you both to keep your students under control and out of trouble, for their own sakes. So far I am being lenient but once this class officially begins I will not tolerate it." He added quietly.
Cleo Gardenia
Ruzik R.
Ruzik R.
Ruzik shifted his gaze from the feline for a moment as his eyes fell onto the familiar figure of the rabbit-demon who stood by the door. At first he didnât do anything but instead merely looked to the girl for a moment, before raising a hand and beckoning the rabbit over to the desk next to him. âKou, come here!â It wasnât an order as such but rather a friendly calling, at least in Ruzikâs own way it was. It was only then that he spotted the familiar green-haired boy who entered at that moment and spoke briefly with Kou, before sitting beside Cleo. When the demon greeted him the redhead replied with, âHey, bug-boy.â Just then he saw the teachers enter and Mikari grinned at him with a wink and the demon uncontrollably smirked straight back at the blue-haired mage.
Cleo looked to her teammate with a warm smile and quickly wrapped her arms around Bugby in a brief hug, before settling beside him and giggling a little. âYeah, I just couldnât sleep too well so I got up super-duper early and went for a wander â I see you two never had any trouble." Sliding round and sitting on the side of her seat the feline looked between Bugby and Ruzik, of course noticing Kou and giving the girl a smile before the redhead summoned her over. Hopefully the rabbit would join them as the cat-girl could use some female company too. âOh here." She said, digging out a packet of chocolate treats as she handed them to Bugby. âI brought some for you and Ichiro â I bet you never got any breakfast, did you?" Placing the packet on his desk the girl then looked to Ruzik and offered him some from her already opened packet. âWant some?"
âI donât eat that stuff.â He waved his hand in front of him and turned the snack down, though the feline gave him an odd look of disbelieve. What weirdo didnât like chocolate? Clearly Ruzik. As a girl passed the redhead he couldnât help but notice her glare directed straight at him â what had he done to her? For once nothing! He hadnât done a single thing to that girl and yet she had the nerve to look upon him with such displeasure. Whatever. He wouldnât lose the rag just yet, after all it wasnât like he wasnât use to it.
Cleo also noticed this but refrained from saying anything as not long after Ichiro appeared at the classroom. Another smile filled her lips as the mage soon approached the demons, though a questioning look quickly fixed itself onto her features as he said, "I'm having a little headache right now so I'm going to sit more by myself today." Before she could even say anything the boy had already walked away and sat further back next to a girl who she believed was a mage. The feline couldnât quite believe his excuse for not sitting with them, she couldnât help but wonder why their mage didnât want to be near them. Not to mention she didnât get a chance to give Ichiro the chocolates she had got him.
âBugby what did you do?!" She elbowed the boy in the side before sighing and dropping her hands to her lap. For a moment she believed her teammate was the reason for their mage distancing himself, but then once rethinking it over, Cleo realized that Bugby could never doing anything that serious to cause Ichiro to avoid them. âSorry Buggie, I didnât mean it." She sheepishly giggled and rubbed the back of her head.
âFace it, mages stick with their own kind. Why else would he dump you two and go sit with her?â The redhead spoke up a little, resting the side of his face against his hand that propped him up. Ruzik wasnât stupid, he had seen the look the other mage had given him too, and was starting to get a little irked by it. âDo you think that mage really cares about you â a demon? No, he doesnât. Youâre just some demon heâs grouped with, and sure he may say heâs your friend and all, but whoâs he sitting with at the end of the day? Not you.â
The feline lowered her ears a little and looked out the window for a few moments. She didnât like to think of Ichiro as some lame mage who cared little for demons, considering how much she had come to care for him over the past day â the girl was surprised how immediately she had grew fond of the boy, but then again he did remind her of the old mage who looked after her. They were both kind and fun to be around. She turned to Ruzik with a smile and confidently said, âNah, Ichiro is totally not like that at all." At least she hoped he wasn't, but given how he had walked away from his two demons the cat-girl was in a slight moment of doubt. Did he prefer mages over demons? With a huff the girl slumped in her chair, ears lowered with a visible pout forming on her lips. Maybe Ruzik was right.
The demon just rolled his eyes and slid round in his seat as he looked over to the two mages in question. Ichiro and whatâs-her-name, those two who had looked to him with such disgust only a short time before. Resting one arm against the chair he faced them directly, raising his other hand as he gave the mages a cheeky wink and blew them a kiss in a rather taunting manner.
However his smug exterior was only short lived as a sharp pain in his gut caused the demon to quickly turn around and face down at his desk. His inner hunger was beginning to stir after a long night of slumber, but the demon wasnât entirely prepared to deal with it. The heartbeats of those surrounding him grew louder ever so slightly, and the more he thought of those damn mages the more the demon felt the urge to rip their hearts out. Just the feeling caused a smirk to fill his lips as he imagined it all in his head.
