The passageway led into the cloister garth, not a person can be seen as Cal roamed her eyes around the place. She felt scared and unconsciously grab Ash's arm.
Ash smiled and took a glimpse at the scared lady beside him an idea suddenly pops up in his mind.
A loud bump was suddenly heard behind them which made Cal scream and hug him tight while trembling.
"Silly." He said and pointed a finger in her forehead to move Cal away from him.
"There is a ghost here!" Cal exclaimed.
"You are more scared on ghost than me?" Ash replied looking at her in amusement.
"I don't care get me out of here." Cal pleaded.
Ash moves his eyes on the other way; he wanted to laugh so hard seeing how desperate she was to leave.
"Come on." He grinned and grabbed her wrist.
They continued to walk and stopped at the dead end wall.
The woman beside him looks at him in puzzled, while touching some bricks the wall suddenly move to give way made Cal gasped.
"Amazing." Cal exclaimed with excitement.
The place was so old but beautiful some antique figurines can be found inside the cabinets. Old expensive vases and scrolls instead of books are found in the shelves. He watched Cal roamed around and stared at his portrait in the wall.
"Ash Von Alexander Mauer." She whispered which made him lowered his head at her.
"Hmm?" He sniffed at her neck which makes her startled.
"What are you doing?" Cal glares at him.
She notice his eyes turned into bloody red like at the portrait but immediately turned into nomad color.
Ash stared straight to her startled eyes and lowered to hold her hands. He brought her into his room and signed to sit in his bed, he walked through his closet and take out a long-sleeve stripped shirt.
Cal was sitting quietly looking at the man who is busy looking for clothes. He suddenly gave the long-sleeve striped shirt. Cal was still confused looking at him with a puzzled look.
"Wear it the bathroom is in the corner." He said and walked outside.
She removed his jacket and walked into the bathroom and locked the door.
She wears the shirt which looks fine with her, good thing she was wearing a tube bra and a cycling. Two layers from the collar was left unbutton and the shirt was so big somehow looks like a dress to her.
When she stared with herself at the mirror the shirt was until half of her thighs so it seems to be a bit showy. Cal removes her Dutch braid hair and looks satisfied with her looks looking fierce.
As she walks outside the bathroom, Ash unknowingly slip the glass in his hands. He was looking at her like she was a prey to be devoured his eyes were turning bloody again.
"What's wrong?" Cal asked innocently.
This woman has no idea how she makes him suffer from controlling himself to avoid devouring her. Ash immediately removed the thought and remembered something.
He walked towards Cal and grabbed her waist, assisted her into the dressing table. Ash take out the green box in his drawer, inside the box was a beaded diamond silver headdress sparkling beautifully because of the small real diamonds around it.
"Promise me you won't lose this headdress." He said gently putting it into her head.
"Why are you giving this to me? We barely know each other and it seem very valuable." Cal exclaimed.
"Let me return you into your dorm." He changed the topic so sudden to avoid her suspicions.
"Hey this is very sudde-
Ash put a finger into her lips. "No buts sit down."
Cal didn't utter a word while her removed her stiletto and changed it into socks and putting a shoe for her.
"Hey that's too much already let me fix it, I can do it by myself." Cal felt ashamed at him.
"No need, it's done." Ash replied and stood up.
He led the way into the left side of his room and pushed the wall.
"How many secret doors do you have?" Cal asked looking at him.
Ash replied. "A lot, it is dark here we can only use a flashlight."
"Aren't we going to be lost here?" Cal said worriedly.
Ash held her hand and walked first, both of them just followed the path and he suddenly moved the dead end wall.
It showed her room, the secret door was beside her dressing table.
"You're not going to be safe if we walked in the hallway so I used this door." Ash explained.
"Thank you for helping me." Cal said looking at him in the eye.
His gentle side made her heart at ease and she felt safe being around him.
"I owe you I'm just returning the favors I'll be leaving." Ash replied and turned his back at her.
Ash almost lost his control while being with her; he finally was able to get near her.
"It seems to me you are doing well young brother." Hermes suddenly showed up.
"What are you doing here?" Ash said in a murderous glare.
"Don't look at me like that I'm not the bad guy here." Hermes teased him.
Ash stood up and faced him; he could sense Hermes was plotting something again.
"Don't even think about it Hermes." Ash warned him.
"I'm just protecting you little bro, no one can stand to fight against them." Hermes tone become serious.
Anger was written in Ash's face, he'll definitely do something about it.
"I know what I'm doing Hermes we just need to be persistent; the right time will come for us to move." He assured him.
Hermes sighed. "Whatever happens I'll always be by your side."
His brother decided to leave because he still has a lot of meetings to attend and he is also part of the board members.
Ash took a glimpse at the scroll one more time.
"The light of blue moon will clean the curse; the shade of darkness will change its fate."
The next morning everyone was so busy for the first day of school.
Cal finished fixing herself and was up to eat breakfast, as she walks out of the room food was already served by the helpers and Chynna was already eating.
"Come on Cal, Mori was so hard to wake up." Chynna exclaimed.
Cal seems new to the arrangements and the utensils so she look at Chynna for help.
"Oh dear, here let me teach you." Chynna demonstrates what are the Do's and Don'ts in the table.
She also notified her what utensils to use; Cal immediately understood everything and got used already.
"You are such a fast learner Cal." Chynna smiled.
Mori walked out of the room and ran into the table with them.
"Goodness." She said and started eating her breakfast.
The three of them were part of the Rare sect. It's not a problem for them to go together.
Mori was wearing a mint green uniform while Chynna was striped color.
She was wearing a black uniform the style was white long sleeves inner with black necktie, black coat and black skirt. The length was 2 inches above the knee but Cal's skirt become 3 inches above the knee due to her long thighs.
It makes her uncomfortable even thou she was wearing cycling and black knee socks, her school shoes are wedge boots type with shoe lace.
"I so envy Cal she is more beautiful than us." Chynna pouted.
"I'm done eating let me fix your hair girls." Mori insisted.
After fixing themselves, they decided to leave the palace dorm and go to the Rare sect.
Cal was amused to see that she is not alone she thought that maybe this is the place where she really belongs.
All the Rare students proceed to the Great hall the best part was they are actually the last one to arrive.
"Oh no I thought we are too early it ends up we are late! I'm too scared to get in." Mori exclaimed pushing Chynna first.
"Why me? Cal you go open the door." Chynna moved at the back and pushed Cal first.
Cal shook her head in irritation; a man suddenly appeared and looks at the three of them standing at the door.
"Good day girls, what are you doing in the front door? Get inside already don't be scared." The man said and smiled.
The door automatically opened and everyone's eyes were stuck with the new arrivals.
Some started gossiping while the others are giving compliment.
"Are they new here? They are so gorgeous especially the first one is very sexy."
"I agree the 2nd one was Mori Tashima the other two must be newbies."
"It's just a bunch of newbies." Irene rolled her eyes with the boys talking about the trio. She glared at Cal in jealousy and thought.
"How could they compliment her?"
"That bitch." Rix interrupted.
"You knew her?" Irene asked and face Rix being irritated.
"She is the one I've keep on talking about." Rix clenched her fist in anger.
Irene's hatred to Cal become more deep knowing she's been protected by Lord Ash.
On the other side.
Cal wasn't comfortable with her skirt when she walked inside.
Someone suddenly wrapped his jacket at her waist, she faced the person who did it.
"Ash?" She said out of shock.
Everyone in the room gasped, their eyes become more focus on Cal. Even the duo dropped their jaws to see Lord Ash in front of them holding their roommate.
"Why do you always like to wear short stuffs?" Ash's tone become darker and so is his eyes.
"Blame the uniform." Cal replied shortly.
Mori and Chynna sit in front of them to make sure they aren't dreaming.
Mori roamed her eyes around the corner and notice some throwing daggers at them while the others are giving her a wink.
"I do hope we are still alive after this." Mori murmured at Chynna.
The professors finally arrived at the great hall and signed everyone to keep quite.
Cal stares at the 10 professors walking into the front confused was written in her eyes the only person she's familiar with was Headmistress Amelia.
Ash stared at Cal's confused face and initiate to explain about the Great 10 professors.
"They are the Great 10 here in Technoversity. The 1st one is professor Albert Pein known as the ability controller. He controlled the abilities of the students to avoid troubles and chaos here in Technoversity. The 2nd one was professor Alice Wanda known as the maze creator.

Ash explained while putting a lot of desserts in her plate.
"Ash Von Alexander Mauer!" Cal said while raising her brows.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"It seems to me he's about to make you a pig." Chynna laughed together with Mori.
"The introductions were finally done and it's time to choose for the Guilds. There are 5 guilds in Rare sect. which is the Empires, Maggie's , Rangers, Healers and Assassins. The only person who can help each student where they belong is professor Dang." Headmistress Amelia announced.
Cal stood up and the others to form a line, it's Chynna's time. The professor asks for her hand and speaks.
"Chynna Williams you are part of the Maggie's."
It was Cal's turn and she felt nervous, she notice ash standing beside professor looking at her like everything's fine.
"Your hand dear." Professor Dang smiled.
Cal stared into his eyes and read his mind and personality.
(Cloned he is one of the students)
She immediately retreats her hand and spoke.
"You are not real." Cal whispered.
The man in front smiled and vanished into a dust.
"How smart, Cal Lorraine Vienne is part of the Empires." Professor Dang showed himself.
The other members of the Great 10 were surprised but didn't utter a word to avoid confusion from the other students.
Amelia stared at Cal for a moment she felt a different feeling from her.
"What is on your mind Amelia? You seem space out looking at Ms. Vienne." Zero interrupted the headmistress.
"Nothing its just impossible." Amelia murmured her hands were trembling with cold sweats running down her face.
"What do you mean impossible? She might be the cursed child in the prophecy." Zero replied.
Amelia was silent after hearing Zero's opinion and look at the other way.
"We shouldn't talk about this stuff here in the Great hall professor Zero." Amelia interrupted him.
The class has started and Cal was looking for the Empires Guild. She immediately left and ran away from Ash he might bring her a lot of trouble so better avoid it fast.
As she was walking in the hallway a group of girls stopped her.
"How could you seduce Lord Ash!" Irene exclaimed.
Cal stayed calm. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Really let's see." Irene exclaimed and slapped her in the face.
Cal could feel the blood dripping from her mouth; the woman's stregnth was too strong.
Irene signed Zion to grab her collar to stand; satisfaction was seen in her eyes as she saw some blood dripping in the floor.
"What the hell are you doing?" Warren asked just arrived from the Lab.
"Nothing we are just punishing this slut." Irene explained.
Warren walked near them and glared at Zion. "Put her down."
He grabbed her chin and found the cut of her lips and her mouth was blooded. Before he could speak to her, Ash was furious seeing Cal coughing in blood.
"Warren!" Ash shouted in anger.
Everything was too fast Ash was already grabbing Warren's neck. His eyes was turning darker and darker the chandeliers broke into tiny pieces making the other students scream in fear. A large volume of sound was heard making everyone cover their ears in pain.
Warren can't move at all he wasn't expecting that kind of attack from him. He was just about to check the woman's injury when ash shouted at him.
Lady Alice was triggered by the strong power immediately left the room to see Ash making everyone suffered.
Seeing how scary Ash was Cal closed her eyes and shouted. "Ash that's enough!"
Everything was finally quiet, Cal decided to open her eyes and saw the broken chandeliers in the floor were gone. She raised her head and saw everyone gasped to see the place went back to normal like nothing happened.
She notice Ash and Warren were separated away from each other looking at her in confusion.
"A fight in the first day? I need all of you to follow me at the detention office!" Professor Alice exclaimed in frustration.
Cal stood up but suddenly lost her consciousness; Ash ran towards her and carried her. He faced Warren and the others in anger he spoke before he left. "We are not yet done."
He asked permission to bring Cal at the Healer's Den and walked away.
At the other side a mysterious shadow smiled with interest and vanished.
