Physical Description
Laurence stands at roughly 5’ 5” and sports a slender figure. Perhaps considered a tad small for a boy his age he is still just a bit taller than some! Slim, athletic and with a fragile build, the boy comes across as someone who is a little on the weak side and could be pushed over easily. Which is sort-of true. His hair is of a black shade and is at times a little wavy and messy as it reaches the sides of his face, whilst his eyes are a very light shade of blue. Laurence is considered a rather average looking boy, if not slightly cute in some way that many find a little appealing.

"O-Oh no, I'm not that cute. Heavens you'll make me blush."

Flaws
Easily Upset | Partial Deafness | Physically Weak

"I only have one good side of hearing, my right. Heh."

Abilties | Powers
Gravitational Forces | Laurence has the ability to create separate forces of gravity that will either draw everything directly to it or repel things in the opposite direction completely. This is by far his near perfected power in that he can use it fairly easily, though that is not to say the boy has complete control over it. At its strongest he is capable of uprooting a considerably small building, though such a feat requires an exceptional amount of physical energy from Laurence in order to execute correctly. The gravity forces can be used offensively and defensively, be it propelling him to higher areas, catapulting foes about, and generally allowing him to walk along any surface such as walls, buildings, ceilings, etc. Although at its worst and when losing control all most anything within a small radius is susceptible to being affected by his gravitational forces.

"My oddest ability but it comes in handy! Haha. It's kinda cool too?"
Light Being | Using light energy Laurence is able to create a single light being which is an identity-less figure made up of pure light that can be controlled by him. It serves as an assistant capable of transforming itself into a protective barrier or even sacrifice itself in order to keep its mage safe. However the being itself can only take up to three hits before dispersing into nothing, as well, it is highly sensitive to becoming corrupt and turning into a shadow being due to Laurence’s conflicting elements. The shadow being is harder to command and there is a chance it can turn against its mage if he is mentally weak, but similar to its light counterpart the shadow being can be easily destroyed should such an event occur.
"I still got some issues to figure out and all but I'll get there, eventually! Ha."
Shadow Soul | Only having used this once or twice, Laurence is able to eliminate all emotion and feeling from his body. His being will become surrounded by a dark aura and most notably his eyes will change to red, though only slightly as his power is not at its fullest potential. Essentially, he can take on various degrees of damage through this, as doing so rids him pain entirely. He doesn’t feel anything. Likewise he doesn’t feel fear and anxiety either, and will take on anyone without thinking. Although his fragile build does make him vulnerable to being knocked about easily regardless as this ability offers little for protection, only sustainability. But for this to work correctly he needs to be completely focused, the slightest lapse in thought could jeopardize him, and cause his abilities to form into a 'light alternative' which actually forces his power to work in reverse and cause the boy to feel additional pain as appose to none. It is quite a risky ability that he lacks experience in.
"It scares me a little and I don't feel completely confident in using it, at least not a lot. I try not to."

History
Born into a vast line of mages as many of his kind usually are much of Laurence's childhood was seemingly average and as expected for your typical mage. However there was one difference to his family that made him stand out from your common youthful mage; his mother was a dark mage and his father was a white mage. Born with conflicting elements it was only expected of him, even though the union between his parents was frowned upon by their respective kins, his mother and father were too much in love to care about anything else. They moved away from their family and raised their son in a quiet town far away and kept his powers secret from the townsfolk for the sake of raising their child peacefully.

Their lives began to change once Laurence grew older and his powers began developing at a rapid rate. His parents were both proud yet worried as their son showed true potential, yet lacked proper control over his abilities. That, and keeping the nature of his powers secret from their neighbours was proving more difficult as he progressed. Upon hearing of the Survival Kit Academy they decided to send Laurence to attend in hopes of helping the boy grow as a mage, and perhaps educate him better with his abilities and show him how to truly master his own talents. Willing to go, the boy was taken away to the academy and that is where he is now, nervously awaiting what the future holds for him.

"I-I'm here to learn and prove I'm not that bad of a mage!"

Other
||Partial Deafness||
Laurence is completely deaf in his left ear due to an accident during his youth and as such he relies entirely on his right side for full sense of hearing. Although should his right ear be preoccupied, such as with music or if he has it covered with something, then Laurence would essentially be completely deaf for a period of time until you caught his attention. Similarly this effects him in fights and makes him quite vulnerable if distracted.

"I really need to pay more attention in the future but sometimes I can't help it."

||White & Dark Mage||
Due to his parents being of opposite elements Laurence is in a way considered a hybrid of both. He is weak against both elements and at times even his own abilities are affected by his own conflicting inner elements. This is particularity why he lacks full control of his own powers.

"I don't blame my parents at all, though being a mixture of both isn't exactly easy either."

So begins...

Memphis





Image





It was already late morning as a trail of thick smoke puffed quickly through the air along behind the tall figure that walked down the hallway in a rather hasty fashion. His name was Memphis, the newly appointed Headmaster of the Academy – a demon no less who has been put in charge of influencing the young minds of those he was suppose to help and guide in their time at the school. Quick steps echoed through the hall as he made his way to his office, a half-burnt out cigarette hanging over the side of his lower lip as he bit down hard and inhaled a deep breath.

Upon his arrival there had been a few changes put in place which caused some minor issues for the demon to deal with, such as new students arriving and the removal of old ones. Due to this the morning class had been delayed for a short time which allowed the students to wander the academy in the meantime, awaiting some form of structure to their day. However some may notice that some of their classmates were not around and the headmaster could only hope he explained things soon to avoid any unnecessary uprising amongst the youths.

"What a palaver." He sighed and dropped his shoulders, before nudging the door open and heading into his office, though only for a moment. The morning so far had been less than organized and the demon needed to get things on track – which meant getting the students to class and his colleagues in order, especially since he hadn’t met any of his staff yet though he assumed they had been made aware of his sudden arrival – somehow. He quickly made his way over to his desk – well it was his now though some of the prior headmasters belongings were still there – and accessed the academy’s intercom system.

"Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." Short but to the point. That was Memphis.

The intercom system was connected to every location within the academy, so all the students should have heard him and hopefully would begin to make their way to their classroom. Likewise his staff too. Turning the demon took his leave and exited the office, before making his way down to the classroom. With a shrug he continued on his way down the hallway, raising a hand as he ran it through his hair and unenthusiastically thought of how endless the day already felt. What was he suppose to do with these kids? What were they even like? The demon smirked a little as his curiosity grew and soon enough he arrived at the classroom and made his way in, opening and closing the door behind him as he took a seat at one of the desks. Swinging his legs up he rested the heel of his boots against the surface of the desk, leaning back in his chair as he crossed his arms against his chest. After all no one was about so he could make himself comfortable in the meantime, as he parted his lips slightly and let his burnt cigarette fall to the floor, before popping out another that quickly replaced the former and the demon inhaled deeply.

"Well, looks like the fun will begin soon enough." The demon yawned a little and stretched his legs. The teachers ought to arrive soon, and maybe even some students might arrive early! But he wouldn't hold his breath. "Maybe I should plan out exactly what we’re going to be doing for this class – or even what I’m going to say." He huffed, digging into one of his pockets as he brought out a crumpled piece of paper with his crude handwriting scribbled all over it. Looking over the notes he then reached over, grabbing a clipboard with names jotted down on it – presumably the students of the class, and began familiarizing himself with the names and information.





Cleo Gardenia





Image




Cleo was wide awake and already up and about the academy. Since their morning class had been delayed for a wee bit of time, the feline figured she’d grab something to snack on in the meantime until told otherwise. Whilst in the cafeteria the girl prowled around and looked at what was on offer, eyeing up all the goodies before settling on an apple and a packet of chocolaty-treats. After all breakfast was an important meal and the girl was set on not missing it!

“Maybe I should bring something for Buggie and Ichi." She pondered for a moment, snatching up some treats for the boys before stuffing them all into her pockets. Reaching over she swiped another packet of chocolates before walking away contently. As she was about to bite into her apple her ears perked up at that moment as an unfamiliar voice suddenly filled the air – the Headmaster, or rather new one. Did they get a new one already? Didn’t they just start? Cleo raised a questioning brow.

"Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." It said before falling silent.

Well, it looked like her free time had come to an end as the students were summoned to the classroom. With a shrug the feline bit into her apple before heading out of the cafeteria and began making her way to the room. On the way there the girl couldn’t help but wonder if everyone else got the message, and who would be first? A smile formed on her lips as she thought of her friends and teammates, and a general feeling of excitement filled her being at that moment.

A short time later the feline arrived at the classroom and made her way inside, dropping her eaten apple in the bin before taking her seat. Her eyes immediately fell onto the red-haired figure at the desk, who either hadn’t noticed her quite yet – or was just uninterested. The girl sat in silence for at least a minute before leaning forward on her desk and waving to the man that was busy looking over some notes, or something at least.

“Hi! I’m Cleo – are you the Headmaster guy that was speaking earlier?" She asked and titled her head, leaning back in her seat as she watched the figure carefully. However he never answered her question, actually he never really looked to the girl at all. Lowering her ears Cleo slumped her shoulders and focused her attention to the door to see who entered next.





Ruzik R.





Image





Ruzik was begrudgingly awake and moving himself around the academy after being informed that their morning class had been put on hold temporarily. He hadn’t really slept and was a little lost as to what to do with himself for the time being. His insides felt twisted and he could already feel his hunger creeping up on him slowly – the only good thing he was really feeling at that moment.

As he walked along he looked at all the students he passed, gradually wondering what exactly was going on that would cause such a delay in their academic schedule. Not that he was really complaining mind you, Ruzik wasn’t exactly the best student the academy had and really the more free time they got was welcomed – albeit he was a bit bored during it. Friends weren’t exactly his forte, he didn’t have many at this point in time, but of course he didn’t want any either! Did he?

As the red-head wandered down a hallway he heard a voice suddenly speak, tiling his gaze up to a speaker held up in one of the corners of the hall. "Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." So they had a new Headmaster? Ruzik thought briefly over this, smirking just a little. Did that mean he was free of those damn pills? Oh if only. The demon felt a slight twinge in his lower stomach and let out an uneasy sigh in response, as he straightened himself up and continued on his way. Surprisingly he opted to go to class; perhaps it would enlighten his boredom just a bit.

A short while later he arrive at the room and promptly entered, sparing a moment to look at the figure who sat slumped and puffing on a cigarette, though seemed to pay little attention to things around him. Unbothered, the demon then noticed the familiar cat-girl sitting looking in his direction and offered her a small smile. Sitting behind her, he place his elbows on the desk and leaned forward, before tapping her shoulder.




Cleo turned and faced the boy, ears twitching just a little. She remembered him from the day before and how he stormed off, somewhat crazily. Though hesitant to converse with him the girl decided she should make an effort at least. “Yeah?"

”Looks like we’re first to arrive, and your that cat-girl from the other day?” He asked, though knew he was fairly right in saying it. Cleo was hard to not remember after all, especially with her defining features.

“Uh-huh, and your that demon who stormed off all crazy like, eh?" She teased and playfully twitched her eyebrows. “lookie-here. If you don’t go all moody on me again I may just start to like yah." Sliding round in her seat she faced him directly and rested her arms on the edge of his desk, shifting forward as her ears lowered a rather amusing way. “Let’s start again? I’m Cleo, please to meet yah, Ruzik."

The redhead merely shrugged in a sort-of agreeing manner. Maybe he ought to make some friends, though either way the cat-girl wasn’t entirely bad and was pretty attractive, so it worked for him. ”Sure, alright. Nice to meet you Cleo.”

Smiling, the girl spun back around and moved down in her seat, leaning backwards as she rested the back of her head against his desk and looked up to the boy with an amusing grin. “So, who you betting turns up next?"

It seems that Kou still had quite a ways to go in order to learn to control her teleportation as last night she had sneezed while in the shower and had ended up in Ichiro, Cleo, and Bugby's dorm. Thankfully it had only been for a second or two before she managed to collect her wits and teleport back to her room so the casualties were limited but the whole ordeal had been very stressful for the rabbit and she had gone to sleep with pink hair. This morning when she awoke it had gone back to blue and for a few minutes Kou was able to hope it had all been a dream until she went into the bathroom and realized she had dropped her conditioner when she teleported so the bottle was now lost between a rift of space and time.

Hopefully it would reanimate itself somewhere, but when and where Kou had no idea. The demon tried not to stress over it as she rolled out of bed and onto the floor, pulling the covers along with her. Today was going to be a long day and she wasn't sure if she was ready to face the three whom she had thought of as friends before. Hopefully this would change nothing between them, maybe they would all just have a good laugh and move on? Or they could think of Kou as some weirdo and she would have lost the only friends she managed to make. Kou ran her fingers through her hair, her locks turning pink. She got dressed quickly and exited the dorm, hoping to Tsukuyomi or whatever other God that they hadn't seen anything and going to the cafeteria in hopes of making it to breakfast before their morning class.

The dining room was empty save for a few scattered souls who were using their free time to study in the corners of the large space. Kou looked at the the different foods on display and settled on some sort of breakfast wrap filled with vegetables and eggs. She sat alone by a window, nibbling on the edges of the tortilla and deciding that she wasn't hungry. She was about to leave when something caught her eye and quickly Kou stuffed two lollipops into the pockets of her dress, remembering how Ruzik had reacted to the sweets the day prior. An announcement protruded through the air, slicing through the silence like a knife.

"Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." So it was finally time? Kou picked up her pace, her heels clicking briskly on the tiled floor as she made her way to the classroom where her peers would be. Kou was prepared for the worst, once more her hair had returned to blue but she knew it wouldn't stay that way once she entered the space where the three were. Maybe she should skip class to avoid them? No, Kou did not want to be on the teacher's and new headmaster's bad side on the second day of school.

There were only two other students in the classroom when she entered, Cleo and Ruzik. The two were chatting pleasantly enough by the window and at the front of the room was a red haired male smoking a cigarette with his dirty boots up on the desk. He clearly couldn't be bothered by their presence and so Kou stepped into the classroom, wondering where she should sit or if she should use this opportunity to escape from the area and hide in the garden for the morning lessons.

She awoke with no memory, florescent lights blinded the girl, startling her emerald eyes and prompting them to hide behind her closed lids. She did not want to face the day, not when her mind was swimming with missing pieces and patches of things that she did not quite understand. For days Muse had been floating in this half dream state with nothing but a name to cling to. Whenever she attempted to think back to the events that had landed her in this tiny white room it came up as stark as the walls and a headache would split through her skull.

Muse lolled her head to the side, resting her horns against the shredded pillow she had torn up during a particularly bad night. Occasionally a mage or two would enter to replace the magical seal that prevented Muse from using her abilities but even if they took it off she had no idea how they worked or what they even were. Precautions in case she regained her memories, they would say and then walk out; leaving the demon in a state of weakness that would send her back into sleep. Sometimes she would awake to the scent of food but it was always false; no meals were to be had in this prison and once more Muse would go right back to sleep; waiting for the mages do decide her fate.

Today when she awoke there were three; one held a bag with a change of clothes, the other exchanged the talisman stuck on her back and the third held her down so the other two could do their jobs. Soon Muse was dressed and sitting up, which was a step above what she had done yesterday. Her torn black dress was placed in the waste bin and Muse was left alone for a few minutes to inspect the new garments. A pair of black shorts adorned her legs with tall buttons that went up to her waist. Above that was a white top, a slightly creamer shade then the walls and a black jacket that was a size too big. She observed her reflection in the mirror but began to grow perturbed; the longer Muse stared the more she hated the demon that looked back at her. A scream ripped from her throat and she lunged at it, punching her reflection. The three mages from before returned to the room, two pulling her back from the mirror as she attempted to rip out the guts of the demon that was in the glass. The third cleaned up the fragments and went to the first aid kit on the table, wrapping Muse's knuckles which she had injured and were leaking blood.

"Time to go," a fourth mage had appeared in the doorway and soon they were following him, Muse walking between the four of them with deliberately slow steps. She had no idea where they were headed, for all Muse knew it could be to her execution. Instead they led the female to a car where one of the mages showed her how to use the seat belt and they sent her off with the warning to behave. The sunlight burned the demons eyes and she hissed, closing them and looking down. There were three mages in the car, two in the front and one sitting beside her. The one to her left reached over and pulled the curtain up so that the sunlight could not bother her and relieved Muse managed to look up and stare out as they drove.

They soon pulled up to a large gate with foreign words written across the top. The car stopped and one of the mages led Muse inside, handing her a piece of paper with directions to a classroom. "You're to meet your instructor and classmates there."

"I don't understand... Why aren't you going to execute me?" Muse questioned, tilting her head to the side as a frown crept onto her lips. "The head mage of the UK branch has decided to take pity on you. He says that we cannot punish you for your actions since you have no recollection of them." Muse's frown deepened at these troubling words; it was true her memory was gone. But what would happen when it came back? "Run along now before he changes his mind. Stay out of trouble." Muse turned and walked through the entrance, looking down at the paper in her hands. She could not read this words, she recognized the characters but the way they were strung together made no sense. The frustration made the wings on her back flap a bit and she began walking aimlessly.

It took a while but eventually Muse figured out she had to go to the large building in the center of the campus. Hopefully she could find someone in it who knew where she was supposed to be.

Bugby Marshall




Image





The morning was rather slow as Bugby soon awoke in his bed and sat himself upright in a rather lazy way. Forcing his eyes open it took a minute or so for the boy to remember where he was just then, a tired sigh escaping him as he flung his legs over the side of the bed and hopped down onto the floor. As he straightened himself up, the demon then noticed Cleo was already gone as her bed appeared empty. Did the cat really wake up that early? He sniggered quietly before making his way into the bathroom.

About twenty minutes later the demon reappeared after having a shower and sorting out his clothes, however as much as he tried to preoccupy himself the boy could not shake the odd feeling that he had experienced a weird dream of sorts during the night. Though what made it weird or rather awkward was that it was of Kou. The rabbit had suddenly appeared in their dorm and…The thought caused him to blush nervously and he quickly tried to forget it, even though the demon wondered what the hell it even meant. His eyes fell onto the mage and quickly he walked over and sat down beside the sleeping mage, before poking and nudging him repeatedly. ”Ichiro! Ichiro, wake up.” He half whispered, turning round as he knelt on the bed and used both hands to shake the mage. ”Wake up now you git.” After a few more pokes and shakes the demon ceased his assault on the poor mage and returned to sitting on the bed briefly, before then getting to his feet once Ichiro seemed slightly awake.

”I’m heading out. Cleo’s already gone and you better get up,” He said in-between fetching and sliding on his coat and stepping towards the door. ”We have class soon so don’t be late.” With his hand on the door handle he opened it swiftly and spun round to step out, before adding in a weirdly playful tone, ”Oh, and if you touch my stuff I will make you suffer.”

Leaving, the demon headed down the hallway and wandered around briefly. He felt hungry though was too lazy to walk to the cafeteria, and the more he walked around the more he felt a little lost. But, he wasn’t overly fussed and in the end decided to venture off to the library for a few quick minutes, for the sake of easing his oncoming boredom that he felt. It didn’t take long for the demon to make his way there, and once arriving he had a little stroll around the area to familiarize him more.There was all sorts of categories and genres to choose from. However Bugby was more interested in facts and learning material than anything else and soon found himself in amongst such books. When picking one and flipping it open he suddenly heard a voice from above. "Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." Blinking, it took a minute or so for him to register the new information.

”A new headmaster?” He didn’t know quite how to feel about it, however when realizing that he was to head for class the demon did as such. Keeping the book he held Bugby left the library and made his way to the classroom, though decided to keep on reading as he did, as his attention was quite captured by the book and what it had to offer. It was a book about copying things, the art of acting. How to truly mimic something. It was hardly surprising to find him reading it.

When arriving at the classroom the demon lightly bumped into something after stepping into the room, causing the boy to lower his book and realizing it was Kou in front of him. He felt somewhat awkward all of a sudden, hesitant to speak for a brief instant but the demon tried to regain his composure. ”Oh, hello Kou.” He side and shut his book before holding it at his side. He wondered why the the girl was standing around, though perhaps she had just arrived like him and was debating where to sit. ”Are you going to join us?” The demon thoughtlessly asked suddenly, glancing away momentarily as he looked to Cleo and the familiar redhead. ”I mean, you can sit with us if you want. Y-You don't have to I just, ah... you get the idea.”

Maybe the girl didn’t want to sit with them, maybe she did. Bugby didn’t want to force the girl, but he figured it was nice to give the offer at least. They had gotten along the other day and it was better to have friends than enemies in the class, after all. Regardless of the answer she gave, the boy then made his way over beside Cleo and sat down. Setting his book on the desk he turned to face her and gave a slight smile.

”You got up early.” He said, before turning round more to look at Ruzik. So far he appeared nice enough and Cleo was chatting to him rather friendly, so the boy couldn’t help but feel slightly more at ease around the redhead. ”Hey, Ruzik.”





Laurence Snow




Image





Laurence gave an uneasy sigh as he struggled to find his way around the academy. He had arrived quite early that morning and was somehow expected to navigate himself around the place. Sure, a member of staff had provided him with a map and all the necessary papers, but it still wasn’t quite as good as having someone to show him the way. What made it worse though was a few students messing him around, pretending they were going to help him but instead lead him down the opposite way!

Holding the map in front of him the young mage walked around using it as a literal guide as he wandered about somewhat clueless. There were awkward moments when he walked into someone, or he tripped and fell flat on his face. But Laurence laughed it off and just ran as fast as could round the nearest corner, acting as if it never happened. However when hearing a voice suddenly the boy jumped a little and nearly lost grip of his map. "Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class." Great, he knew where he had to be just not how to get to it! Somewhat disheartened-ly he walked on.

It also didn’t help when a lot of people towered over him, just a little! Laurence always felt like a little kid when around tall people, and some even treated him like one. At some point he found himself in the large entrance hall and stopped beside the large map that was pinned on the wall, figuring out where exactly he was and where the classroom he needed to be was located. Tracing a finger along, or as far as he could reach at least, he trailed it along and retraced his journey until that point.

”Ok, so I go that way and I ought to be there in no time!” He quietly cheered with a look of achievement as he figured out the route to take. Taking a step back he tucked his map into a pocket before setting off. The little venture itself wasn’t long, and the boy could’ve sworn some people were following him in a bid to find out where they were to go and decided to follow after the mage for a short amount of time. But, once on his own, Laurence found his classroom and quickly entered.

He quickly noticed a red-haired male sitting at one of the desks, smoking and seeming quite comfortable in his seat. Though the man was a bit intimidating, or at least the mage didn’t feel confident enough to talk to him immediately and thus decided to take a seat towards the back of the room. He had noticed the small group of students sat towards the front but the boy felt a little uncomfortable approaching them right now, so made his way into a seat at the back and looked out the window for a brief moment.

The morning breeze slowly blew through the garden. The sunshine was soft and the grass waved peacefully along with the breeze. In the atmosphere, you can still feel the chill, but the air was refreshing and everything seems to be okay. It was perfectly normal like any other days. But perhaps, it would be normal if wasn't for so many changes in such a short period of time. But it can't be helped, nothing could ever stopped the cold, monotonous timeline. Everything just happens in the way they suppose to be, like what fate and destiny have already designed them to do.

Like usual, a man with black hair wearing a black robe was caught sitting peacefully on the top of the rock in the middle of the garden. His eyes was closed and he was only concentrated in meditating, as if he doesn't care about anything about this world anymore - he was drifting alone in his own thoughts as if he was atoning for his life with no one there to disturb him. A part of him secretly wished that he won't have to face any more troubles, but he knows this is the path that he has chosen, and he would have to follow it until the end of his life. And that is the once legendary "The Tempest of Desolation", now is the Mage Teacher of the Survival Kit Academy, Midora Kurayami.

As Midora was still deep in his own thoughts, he began to recollect on how all of this has happened again. Yesterday, he was sitting on the highest of position, and now, he has gone back to be a Teacher. It's not that he mind though. He has never considered himself to have what it takes to be the leader, someone who would sit around and bossing people. But whatever happens, Midora still considering this just another beginning, with new challenges. Although, it's completely different from how he thought that it would be. Never since he worked at this Academy that he'd seen a Demon Headmaster. Especially when Midora was asked to keep an eye on this person by one of the most respected person in his life. It all came back to yesterday afternoon again...

- Flashback -

Midora were standing in his Office. Well, used-to-be Office, to be exact. After a long while of thinking carefully, he has decided to send his resignation to the Upper Apartment with the reason that he is not very capable of doing this job well and that they should send someone else to look after the Academy in his place with the promise that he would continued his job as a Mage Teacher. Luckily for him that they've accepted and informed him that a newly appointed Headmaster will be sent to them soon.

In the meanwhile, Midora were collecting his belongings and put them into a box. Now that he isn't a Headmaster anymore, he needs to gather his stuffs and bring them back to the Teachers' Office. It puts his heart at a great ease when he found out that the new Headmaster was someone that he knows very well. Midora trust in this elderly Mage's experiences and strength. With the guiding of his, the Academy will definitely be okay. Or at least, it's what he had hoped...

After he has finished gathering most of his stuffs, his phone rang. He sighed and took it out from his robe. Maybe the Department has some new orders for them or it is just Mikari bothering him. But as he looked at the number, he saw a strange number appeared on the screen.
Weird, who could it be? He thought as he answered the call.

"Hello? This is Midora Kurayami."

"Midora-kun? It has been so long! How is it going over there?" An elderly voice spoke up from the other side of the call. Midora quickly realized that it was one of his Sensei back when he was young - the person who was going to be the new Headmaster. Or more correctly, supposed to...

"Hirukawa-sensei? Yes, it has been a long time. I'm still doing fine though." Midora answered respectfully. This person is someone who he has always respected when he's still studying at his Academy in the past. It was quite surprised for him to receive a sudden call like this.

"I'm sorry to hear that you resigned from the Headmaster position. No matter what they said, you're truly a good Teacher, you know?" Hirukawa said with a caring voice like a father, "So, how is Mikari-kun? Is he doing fine too?"

"I've thought about it for quite sometime and decided that it would be the best. I hope that you will understand. Mii is also fine. He was as energetic as ever." Midora answered before continued, "Well, I'm looking forward to working with you soon, Sensei. With the strength of a powerful Celestial Mage such as yours, I'm sure you're capable of doing the job more than anyone."

"Oh, the Department hasn't told you yet? I've turned down their offer to become the Headmaster at your Academy." Hirukawa replied.

Midora were, like completely surprised when he heard that from his Sensei. He couldn't believe what he said at first so Midora asked again with a surprised tone, "W-What do you mean that you won't become our Headmaster anymore? They didn't inform me about this yet."

The elderly Mage sighed, "I guess that I'm too old to running around and teaching now. I'm not going to hang around as much as you anytime soon, you know? But rest assures, I've asked them to send someone who I trusted to do this job, and they've also agreed."

Midora replied, "So who is this person? Is he a Mage from the Department?"

"No, he was a Demon that I have been taken care of for a very long time. I've taught him everything I know and I've tamed him well so I believe that he is capable of doing this job."

And then again, Midora were even more shocked. They are going to have a
Demon Headmaster? He replied, "Wait, he was a Demon? We have never had a Demon Headmaster before and I thought that they wouldn't have allowed this."

"It took a while to convince them, but they've all agreed anyway. He will arrive there soon, I hope and I think everything is going to be okay." Hirukawa said, persuaded Midora. The Dark Mage couldn't help but let out a sigh, the Department has already going through with this, so he and the other Teachers can only wait and see how things would turn out for now. "And actually, I have a request for you about him - his name is Memphis, by the way."

"Yes, I'm listening?"

"Well, Memphis isn't a Demon that was born in this world. A long time ago, I accidentally summoned him because somehow he was drifting in the Celestial Nexus beyond the Rift. Because of that, it might not be a good idea to let him doing everything as he please. I didn't fully understand what he was capable of. Like you, it could be dangerous if he lost his control over his emotions. So I hope that you would keep an eye on him. Other than that, I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself well."

Midora kept silent for a bit before spoke up, "I understand."

"You have always been the student that makes me proud the most, Midora-kun. I'm sure that if Nagisa-sensei is still alive, he'd be proud of you too. After all, you're someone who was so meaningful with him."

Midora widen his eyes a bit when he heard the name, but then just replied Hirukawa formally, "Thank you for telling me this, Sensei."

"Be well, Midora-kun. I will contact you again soon. Send Mikari-kun my regards." Hirukawa said with a caring tone before turned off. After that, Midora just stared blankly at his phone before giving a heavier sigh. He has never lost his composure before, but this is just a bit too much to take in at once.


- End Flashback -

Midora looked on the blue sky and watched the clouds slowly drifted by. At least, everything is still peaceful... He thought as he felt the soft wind against his skin. He has tell himself that nothing will go wrong for so many times now, but hopefully that it will. As he was about to stood up, he heard a voice from the school's intercom. "Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class."

Midora just quietly shook his head. Well, I guess it's time to work. With that thought, he walked away from the garden and headed for the classroom. Mii should have awaken by now.




Mikari stretched his arms as he sat on his bed. Today's the day we have a new boss. Can wait to see how badass he is. He sheepishly thought than giggled to himself as he went into the bathroom and got change, prepare to go for class. After he had done, he walked out of his room and locked the door before headed to the cafeteria. He has to eat breakfast before he was going to do anything. His stomach is not going to be happy if he just skipped it.

When he is full, he wandered around the halls a bit and checked in the dorm to see if the students have all woke up or not. Then, he heard the voice from the intercom. Mikari shrugged and turned his back, making his way to the classroom.




When Mikari got there, he saw that his best friend was already waiting for him in front of the door. "Where have you been earlier?" Midora asked.

"Well, I simply went and find something to fill my stomach, that's all. Don't be all so grumpy when it's still early like that." Mikari grinned as he pinched Midora's cheek. Midora just sighed as he brush Mikari's hand off.

"Whatever, ready to see our Sensei's kid?" Midora said as both of them faced the door.

"You betcha." Mikari gave a light-hearted smile as they entered the room. When they got inside, they saw that there were only students and the newly Headmaster sitting proudly at the Teacher's desk. As they approached him, Midora spoke up, "Greetings. I'm Midora Kurayami and this is Mikari Akigawa. I guess that you've already known that we're the Mage Teachers of this Academy. So, hoping that we'll work well together."

With that said, the two of them bowed respectfully. Then they took some chairs nearby and sat down next to the desk, watching the class in silent. They can see that most of the students that had arrived are just the same like the previous days, but there was one newcomer. When Mikari sat down, he turned his face at Ruzik and gave the Incubus a playfully wink with a grin.

But meanwhile, Midora crossed his legs and his arms then fixed his gaze onto the white-haired boy. That boy somehow has caught his attention. The emission of Dark element came from him was stronger than any of those students, even Memphis, but not as strong as the two Dark Mages. He was almost convinced that the boy was the same kin as them, but when he concentrated, he could also felt Light that is as strong as Dark mixed together. Because the atmosphere is not very tense, the elements were not chaotic, but since they're opposing elements with each other, he can't say that they were completely stable either. For now, Midora could only came into the conclusion that the boy was a hybrid of a White Mage and a Dark Mage, making him shared both of his parents' elements. Interesting. Maybe I should pay attention to this kid more from now on.

Was this academy supposed to teach her or attack her very psyche and mindset? They give her a master and before the day is out an executive decision is made to pull the master out, this loyal servant tried to fend off the ones who were going to tear the master away but unfortunately she managed to do little other then scratch one before being subdued. Then the master told her to stop and revoked her status as master, and so Etelka accepted her fate again as a masterless demon. Her last words to the wheel chair girl were to inform her if they ever met again this demon would kill her. Then the executive mages told her she would be given a new master, ensuring this would be the last change to her group, how kind of them to even provide a picture of the boy.

Thoughts rushed through her mind but luckily her fatigue from the day in general allowed her to sleep with relative peace for the night. Still as she was now laying in bed staring at the ceiling with the blinds closed to stop the assault of daylight, the thoughts from before her sleep still remained. Brooding over them would accomplish nothing, so she went about a short mourning routine of showering, donning her usual dress, and styling her hair with perfection. She looked at the clock for a good few moments, if that hand was there then... and the smaller hand was... a extended sigh of frustration came out of the girl. Did this stupid academy have any intent of teaching her anything or just having her get hit by fake monsters.

Etelka slumped over to the desk, laying her arms on it and her cheek on her arms. She didn't know the time, she didn't want to just wander the halls, and she had absolutely nothing to do. Her lazy eyes guided themselves over to a pile of fabric that lay on the desk, oh that dreadful rabbits dress which had fallen into disrepair. It lay their taunting her with the prospect of having something to do, but still she entirely lacked the tools and materials to mend it. Perhaps she could try and make a tr-"Attention students this is your new acting Headmaster. I realize this morning has been a bit chaotic but for now if you would, make your way to your designated classroom – that is an order. Mr. Kurayami, Mr. Akigawa and Miss Rayne, you are also wanted at class."

Oh, was it that time already? Rising from her seat Etelka made sure her hair was in fine condition before heading for the door and daintily making her way towards class. Her arrival was far from the first, the two mage teachers and a number of students had already assembled and the only face she didn't recognize in the room was probably the headmaster. She barely looked at the new headmaster, what was of interest to her was the face she recognized from the photograph she had been shown to calm her. Ignoring any acknowledgement of her presence Etelka walked straight to the new master at the back of the room, standing in front of his chosen desk. She removed her stoic face and gave the boy a light smile as she dipped herself down with a curtsy, "I am your demon Etelka Lantos, a pleasure to meet you m'Lord." The servant briefly waited for a reply from his Lordship, still standing at the front of his desk smiling at him. "If you do not mind, I will take a seat," with that she made her way from the front of the desk to the adjacent desk, taking a seat and then fluffing her dress out with her hand to ensure tidiness. After such a failure with the wheelchair girl she would have to ensure her loyalty and usefulness with the Lord, so if he left he would not tell her to stay but take her with him.

The plane ride from Hong Kong was quite the boring for the red-headed demon despite the fact that it was her first trip on a plane. Perhaps she would have found more novelty in the experience were it not for the mage who was accompanying her, breathing down her neck and never letting the girl out of her sight. Her only source of of entertainment for the duration of the trip was the bit of people-watching on the other passengers who sat nearby. It was a great relief when they finally landed it was a great relief to the girl who reveled in the chance to move and stretch, though this respite was short lived as she was quickly stuffed into a car with whom she could only assume were more mages.

Apparently they were going straight to this ‘Academy’. Dúyè could only sigh as she leaned against the cold glass of the window and watch the sun rise in the distance. Some time later she woke groggily as the car came to a stop. The sun was a bit higher now but it was still morning. The door was opened for her and she was escorted into the front gates of the school. The man handed her a paper that detailed a ‘team’ she was now on and where she was to head for now. Her eyes scanned over the words lazily before she folded it roughly and pocketed it away in her coat. As she wandered into the school she reached into her other pocket to retrieve a pre-packaged cheap-looking pastry, unwrapped it, and quickly consumed it.

As she walked the halls she eyes the students she passed curiously but ultimately did interact with any of them. It didn’t long to locate her designated class and as she open the door she crushed the plastic wrapper in her hand into a ball and tossed it into the trash. Immediately the pungent and unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke assaulted her nose, and it wasn’t hard to find t its source. With an expression that was anything but pleasant she turned towards the mature looking, red-headed man and spoke, ”That’s disgusting. I don’t mind if you wanna smell like shit but I, and I think a few of the people here, would appreciate it if you did that outside.” She didn’t much care to hear the man’s reply as she turned and quickly identified the members of supposed ‘team’. Without sparing it much thought she waltzed over and took a seat behind the two of them and muttered ‘good morning’ to the two in Mandarin out of habit more than anything. ”Zǎo ān”
