As the two Dark Mages sat and observe the classroom quietly, they found it quite interesting to see all of the students are seemingly getting along, at least to a certain degree. Obviously that a few Demons here aren't very fond of the Mages, and some of the Mages are not either towards the Demons, but they only needed to sit back and see how things are going to develop in the meantime. They've done their own jobs well so far and there are no reasons for them not to keep up the good paces. Though a part of them still curious about how things will change with this new Headmaster.
The demon walked around and sat on the edge of the desk before gaining both of their attention. 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." He said. Midora turned to face with Memphis as he raised an eyebrow then replied.
"Both of us used to be his students when we're young. He acted like a father to us and he has taught us a lot of things, which is why we had high respects for him. I was a bit surprised when I found out that he is not going to be the new Headmaster, but taken into account of his age right now, despite him being one of a few Mages that I could considered as wise and powerful, I guess it couldn't be helped. But we believe in his decision for making you the Headmaster on his behalf and since you were personally raised by him, we will trust your abilities and hopefully you will be able to make a difference, in a positive way." Midora spoke calmly.
"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?" Memphis continued. "Well, I've actually never worked under a Demon before." Mikari shrugged, "But hey, I've always looking up to Hirukawa-sensei, so I guess we should be able to get along so that we can kick those misfits in shapes." He gave a light-hearted smile, "And yeah, of course we've known that you're a Demon. Dora-chin said that you were actually the first Demon Headmaster ever so I figured that things are gonna change a bit from now, hmm? Anyway, pleasure to work with you, boss."
Leaning back Memphis let a thick puff of smoke escape the side of his mouth before turning to face the students who sat in front of him. Midora doesn't like smoking and either Mikari, but everyone's gotta has some habits and it doesn't really bothering them so they have no comments on that subject. "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." Memphis added.
Midora looked on at the students before replying with his usual calm voice and blank expression, yet his aura has became somewhat more intimidating than earlier, "Mercy is not a word in my dictionary. So rest assure, if they did anything that breaks the rules..." Then he turned to Memphis, his irises turned into crimson red as his expression turned somewhat menacing, "...I can make them go through the worst nightmares of their lives if you think it is necessary to do so."
Then he turned away, fixed his gaze back to the students again, "It seems that your master has taught you everything that you should know. However, since you're new with this job, and I think you hasn't knew a lot about this Academy yet, feel free to ask. I could even be an assistant of some sorts for you, if you want. I think that most of the students have assembled so you should prepare to start soon." Midora spoke, his tone and expression has returned to their normal calmness in only seconds, "And... I guess that you can address us by our first name, if you want. If we're going to work together then I'm not really asking it to be too formal."
With that said, Midora leaned on his back, waited for their sessions to begin. A few moments later, Ms. Sarah came in, which Midora gave her a brisk nod as a greeting while Mikari smiled brightly. She greeted Memphis and both of them shook hands before she took her seat next to the both of them.
Mikari sat as he tapped his foot on the ground, waiting until all of the students have arrived. He sighed, there's nothing could be more boring than having to wait and doing nothing, but he guesses that it couldn't be helped. He took a quick glance at each members of his group. He hasn't got a chance to help Kasumi with her little curse, but he knows that he should before she went out of control again. Maybe the newly arrival nurse that has arrived could help. What was her name again? Julie? He sheepishly thought but just shrugged it off. He shouldn't worry about it too much for now as Kasumi could control it to a certain degree by now.
Then it comes to Kou and Ruzik. Mikari raised an eyebrow at the rabbit girl. He heard that she used Tsukuyomi's pet or somethings like that. Well, most Demons have association with deities can be somewhat troubling. He was curious to see how she's like that made even the omnipotent God of the Moon having a headache like that. Though, the rabbit demon seemed to have some sort of relationship with the red-headed Incubus before. Mikari smirked, it would be interesting to see how she would react if she ever saw him flirting with Ruzik. But then he shrugged away his thought. He could be clingy and carefree at times, but he never intended to broke someone's happiness.
After a while of waiting, Mikari yawns. When will we truly have some actions? Then turned to Midora. Well, perhaps he should just bothering his best friend for now to kill time. He knows he should be somewhat privileged being able to tease with one of the Mages that were considered powerful of his kin. Most people were scared off by the intimidating darkness that is always emits from Midora anyway so Mikari was really the only one who is able to be that close to him. Besides, most of the other people are still busy with their own conversations so he guesses that they wouldn't pay any attention towards the two of them.
"Say, Dora-chin." Mikari said as he pulled himself and his chair closer to Midora's.
"What? Got nothing to do?" Midora replied coldly.
"Aww, don't be such a meanie-face like that all the time. You scared people off." Mikari grinned playfully as he clung his arm over Midora's shoulders. Mikari leaned closer and took a sniff at his friend then smirked at what he has just found out. "Ooh, someone's using cologne today, that's new."
Midora sighed, "I was just simply wanted to try something new, I figure that I should be a bit like what they would called... well, gentleman-alike, since today we got a new Headmaster. Are you getting any ideas?"
"Of course I don't, I don't want to die young~" Mikari grinned, "But it's okay. You don't have to deny, you love me so much that you just couldn't ran off with anyone, huh?"
"O' the great God of Darkness, please give your blessing to anyone who Mikari Akigawa has his eyes on." Midora said sarcastically, "Have you forgot the long list of "lovers" that you've had so far? If I remember correctly, most of the time it were they who broke up. I guess that you really are a love sucker."
Mikari pouted as he poked his best friend's cheek, "Alright, I know. You don't have to bring that up again." But then, he smirked, "Oh well, I there are anyone who was so obsessive with the person they loved that they have to do THOSE stuffs anytime when they're alone..."
Hearing those words, Midora blushed like crazy, "W-What do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything." Mikari shrugged, "I was just saying that regarding to someone who was moaning Nagisa-sensei's name in such a sexy intonation last night, that's all. It seemed that person was having quite a fantasy himself in his own dream." He said quietly, as if he was whispered so that only the two of them could hear with a smirk.
Midora was speechless as he sat still and flustered. When it comes to this subject, even if it was with his best friend, he couldn't hide his anxiety. You could considered this as a weak-point inside his heart, but so far, only Mikari knew about this though. Mikari smiled whole-hearted, "Well, no worry. Your little secret is safe with me. But you must admit that for someone who is always so cold like a cucumber such as you, that was really surprising. A powerful and almighty Dark Mage of the era lusting towards his long lost lover~" Mikari teased.
"Would you stop saying that?!" Midora yelled, he was a bit irritated by now but he still felt embarrassing. If it was someone else rather than Mikari, he didn't know whether if they could see the light of the next day. "Geez... You are really annoying at times, you know that?"
"Hehe, sorry." Mikari smiled and apologized as he scratches the back of his head. Okay, he admits that sometime he could be a little too carefree. Midora just gave a 'Tch' then turned away, but Mikari can still felt his flustering. He smiles, it puts his heart at ease to know that despite going through with so many hardships, facing so many burdens, his friend is still having some soft spots in his heart. He knows that deep down inside the cold and stoic shell outside, Midora is somewhat emotionally fragile. Anytime he saw Midora burst out with tears when he was reminded of what happened to his lover, Mikari felt that he needed to be the one to encourage his friend and went through the hardships together, always.
Mikari smiles brightly, "You've been enduring that pain by yourself for so long, Dora-chin. Don't you think that it is better to just move on? I'm sure that he wants you to be happy, too."
Midora kept silent for a bit, then quietly replied, "I don't know what I should do either... It just... I've tried, you know? But it just didn't feel right when it wasn't him. I know he wants me to be happy but... I love him so much that I could've died for it." He sighed as he looked on, with a light smile, "Love sure is a crazy thing, isn't it?"
"I know, right?" Mikari said, still with his smile, "But I'm sure that no matter whatever decisions you made, you will be happy for it. I will always be there for you."
"Thanks, Mii." Midora turned to his friend and said with a light smile. Yeah, his friend could be irritating at times, but Midora knows that he can believe in him, no matter what. Both of them chatting with each other a little bit more and prepare for the morning's session when Memphis made his announce to the students.
