3 months have passed since Sirus has started school.
Now he is 10 months old. But 10 months for a Demon, Sirus would look like a 2-year-old to human eyes.
"Class, today is the last day of school so be sure to work extra hard for your last day of school. The teacher says as she goes to grab the cup of tea sitting on her desk before continuing on. And Sirus you go easy on the students they are not as knowledgeable as you are, and quit acting so bossy with the students. She sighs and takes a breather before continuing on once again. Just because you are the top student in the classroom does not give you the privilege of bossing everyone around!" She massages her temple while looking down in disappointment.
"There is literally nothing I can do, you have already taught me like basically everything you have to teach me, and you quit staring, you're the least person I want to be near with." Sirus snotted as he looks at his classmate to his left with a grumpy look.
"You know Sirus? Everyone is older than you so you have to respect us it's only fair!" He replies as he crosses his arms and looks out the window.
The other students are well above Sirus age, the rest of the students are 3 to 5 years old. While Sirus is only 10 months old, he had the expectation to enter school, since he was rather smart for his age and he could learn anything you teach him in a matter of hours. Whether it be history class, Daemon, and reading. This was not a problem for him.
'How does a mare 10-month-old child gets the highest grade and becomes the most mature than the other students, except for his bad attitude now and then.' The teacher thoughts to herself as she looks at the two fighting with each other like literal children.
[Ding]
[Ding-Ding]
"Alright, class you know what that means, schools over. Make sure to thank your parents for enrolling you to school so you can grow up to be big smart Demons and serve the next generation of our humble village." She says as she looks at all the students with excitement on their faces as they pack up their belongings before bowing down to thank the teacher and leaving the building. But she notices one of her students still hasn't left.
"Sirus? Why are you still here, you should hurry along to your parents, after all, you are the top student and your parents must be proud of you." She sits down on her chair and leans on the table to take another sip of her tea.
"Teacher? Does any of the other Demons venture outside the village?" Sirus says as he turns his head towards the teacher whilst raising one of his eyebrows.
"What an odd question. Hmmmmm, I suppose the hunters of our village, they venture out to hunt the animals and defend the village from any harm. Does that answer your question?" She says as she holds her cup of tea with both of her hands and looks at Sirus with a wanderlust look.
"No, I mean like do the people leave the village to like explore the outside world and meet the other races and learn their culture and explore the world. Eat different foods talk to the other races and live outside." Sirus looks towards the window as he supports his head with his palm.
The teacher is shocked as to what could lead him to think such a thing. The teacher quickly composes herself and slowly opens her mouth. "I'm not sure what made you think of that but I suppose one could leave the village life and venture out into the wilderness but you see Sirus, as we have talked about this quite a few times in class. Demons are not welcomed by any other race, so if you happen to stumble across one of the other races I'm afraid they would not hesitate to kill you. Even if you learnt to defend yourself it will still cause several problems as such. You would need to learn how to hunt on your own, clean the animal, set up camp and light a fire, and always keep a lookout as the smell of meat being cooked can lead two to other problems. The first problem would be the smoke coming from the fire it could attract unwanted attention and the other would be the monsters and creatures that have a keen sense of smell." She worries as to what the child could be thinkings as she glances at Sirus who still looks throughout the window with a frown on his face.
[Screech]
Sirus pushes back himself making the wooden chair screech and stands up and places both of his hands on top of the table and slowly looking forward with a smile.
"I see… Thank you teacher as always you are a big help. I will be going now, bye." Sirus says as he walks out of the door waving his hand above.
"That child, I fear for him." She sighs and shakes her head.

"He's late, he should be back by now."
"I'm sure he's just taking his time."
[Knock]
[Knock]
"That must be him!" Sasha replies as she hurries to the front door.
She opens the front door and sees a child half the length she is. With strange looking legs and bright red eyes that are glowing with magical power. Horns that are still growing but are growing towards the back of the skull like a crown. Long white-silver hair that reaches his lower back. And with sharp looks and soft, smooth skin but also hard like rock. That could attract any feminine Demon to look at him for hours.
"Hi, mo...."
"Oh, where have you been! I have been worried sick it's past the time you usually come home, oh did you get into a fight again are you hurt. Oh, I swear if they hurt my son I swear I will show them the last day on Ozbark!" She says as she weeps uncontrollably and she holds Sirus tightly to her chest.
"M-mom you're hugging me too tight, I can't breathe!"
'Huff, she is way overboard with her motherhood and way too overprotective.' Sirus thoughts to himself and tries to squeeze out of her grapes.
"Hun, you're doing it again you're holding him too tight."
'This is getting old.'
She finally lets go and clears her waterfall of tears
"Oh, I'm sorry dear, let's go have dinner. It's your favourite." She smiles with her eyes closed and walks happily towards the kitchen.
'An attempt to suffocate me and this is her way of apologising to me with food that I like? That will never work…'
"Okay, I'm coming…"
Sirus takes off his shoes and washes his feet and hands before sitting down to eat.
Sirus, Ethan, and Sasha all sit down at the table and begin to feast on Sashs's master chef cooking abilities.
Ethan glances at Sirus and asks a question.
"Sirus sooo, what took you so long to come back?"
Sirus places down his wooden spoon and glances at his dad.
"Oh, nothing special I just had a little extra talk to Miss Gem, I just asked her what's outside the village and beyond and asked if a Demon can leave and survive on their own out there. That's all." He goes back to eating his food.
Sasha and Ethan look at each other with a worried look before replying back to Sirus.
"I See… So you interested outside of the village?"
"Nah, not anymore I like it here in the village life, calm and peaceful except for the neighbour who keeps on stalking me like a total weirdo..."
"Oh, her I think she likes you I think it's sweet."
Sirus glances at Sasha with a tired look.
"Ya mom, as if every girl who looks at me doesn't like me and totally not stalk me every time I
walk upside and follow me everywhere like a lost puppy," Sirus replies and he finishes his food and walks to his bedroom.
Sirus thanks her for the amazing food before heading to bed to sleep.
Sasha and Ethan look at each other for a moment before laughing at what Sirus commented.
