"Okay, so in today's class, we'll learn about... dark spells." Akagi said as he scribbled something on the board "This is what a dark spell looks like."
"....Sir, what have you drawn" Jade said.
"It's a black cloud! You have eyes, right?" Akagi said.
"...It looks like everything but a cloud" Jade said.
"Let's continue." Akagi said, totally ignoring his student "Now, what is a dark spell...It is a forbidden spell, it was used by Demons to entrap Demigods within blank spaces, but now, some Demigods use it to call any unprepared Demigod to the blank space so that it becomes easy to defeat them.
So, how do you know you're being entrapped inside a dark spell...You'll see a dark cloud, something like what you can see in this presentation, like this,focus here!!! If you see this anywhere, you should know that it is a dark spell.
If you're entrapped within it, you'll automatically find yourself inside the blank space. So, how do you get out of this...this spell only works if you have any star spirit nearby while the dark cloud surrounds you, so if there's any star spirit beside you, just ask them to move away till the point that the dark cloud cannot touch them, if there's no star spirit beside you, that dark spell can do nothing wrong. It will soon vanish itself.
But, if you're stupid enough and still manage to get entrapped within it, you cannot come out of the blank space on your own. You need help from outside in that case. You'll start feeling dizzy once you're completely entrapped within that dark cloud.
.....Any questions?" Akagi said.
"*Sigh* Yes, Jade, what the hell do you want to ask?" Akagi said.
"Sir, I want to ask...how can I perform a dark spell?" Jade said.
"Please sit down"
"But sir-"
"Any other questions?" Akagi said "Yes, Jenet."
"Sir...what if we go inside with some other star spirit. Like, for example, I go inside the blank space because of the dark spell, will Jade's star spirit Bella come, instead of my star spirit, Iki?"
"In that case, you'll not be able to form the bond with her, as you both are not contracted, and hence, the other Demigod will kill you easily as you won't have anyone to fight for you. That's the main purpose those cowards use a dark spell. So that they can win against strong opponents through this dirty trick. You all are my students, if you fall for such a dirty trick, I'll kill you before anyone else does!" Akagi said.
"Y-Yes sir." Jenet said and sat down.
"So, now, start making notes." Akagi said as he went back and sat on his seat.
"Lict, is the forbidden spell so bad?" Vierne whispered.
"Yes, it is only used by cheaters!" Lict said "But, it's okay.... together, we'll fight 'em." Lict whispered with a smile.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!
"Homework! Next class, I'm gonna take a practical on the dark spell, be prepared! If you fail that practical, I'm gonna whip your ass!" Akagi said and left the classroom.
"JESUS CHRIST!!! THAT TEACH'S A HITLER!!" Jade said.
"This is our math class, let's go, Lict." Vierne said.
"Yes, Milady." Lict said as he followed Vierne.
Everyone stood up to change classes. Lict guided Vierne to her math class, in which, she was supposed to study with human students.
"*Deep breath* This is the first time I'm gonna interact with humans, I hope I can make friends." Vierne said.
"It'll be okay, Milady. I'm always with you" Lict said as he opened the door for Vierne.
The class was making noise but as soon as they saw Vierne, they all stopped and stared at her.
"This feels like deja vu" Vierne said with a nervous smile.
"It surely does." Lict said.
As soon as she sat down, the girls standing at a corner of the class started giggling. Then, one of the girls stood up and sat next to Vierne, she looked at Vierne's clothes for sometime then she said "I like your dress, where did you buy it from? A garage sale?"
To this comment, everyone started laughing.
'Why is everyone laughing? Am I supposed to laugh too?' Vierne thought and then looked at Lict, who seemed confused himself.
"Anyways, what's your name?" The girl said.
"It's Lady Vierne Obolensky" Lict said.
"Pffff! Did you just say lady? What are you? A 19th century couple?" The girl said as she laughed and everyone started laughing again.
"My name is Victoria Rushele, nice to meet you" The girl as she brought her hands forward.
"Un....nice to meet-" Vierne was interrupted again by the girl.
"You think I'd ever say something like that to someone like you?" she said
"Excuse me?"
"You literally smell like trash! When was the last time you took a bath?"
"...Just this morning..." Vierne said completely unaware about what was going on.
"Okay, come here" A guy said as he grabbed Lict.
"Wait-where are you taking me?" Lict said "I need to stay beside Milady"
"DUDE! What's up with you? Are you her servant or something?" The guy said.
"Yes, she is my master."
To this, everyone in the entire class started laughing.
"*Laugh* I can't breathe!! You both are too funny!!" the guy said.
"What's going on here?" the math teacher said as he entered the class.
"OH SHIT! HE'S HERE!" The guy said and ran back to his seat. Everyone was seated. The teacher started teaching when someone threw a piece of paper on Vierne.
It said 'I like your boyfriend, so I'll be taking him'. Vierne looked at it and said "My boyfriend? Who?"
"What is it, Milady?" Lict said.
"...Nothing" Vierne said as he crumpled the piece of paper and kept it in her pocket.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!
As soon as the bell rang, the teacher left the class. And everyone started moving out of the class. A guy grabbed Lict but Victoria approached the guy with a group of other girls behind her and said "Adrian, leave him." surprisingly, the guy left Lict and moved out of the room.
"OMG! Are you okay? I know he's such a d#*k! I'm so sorry!" Victoria said to Lict.
"No, you don't have to say sorry." Lict said.
"Milady, let's go, this is the science class, I'll guide you." Lict said as he looked at Vierne.
"Oh! What a coincidence!! Even I have a science class! Let's go together" Victoria said.
"Sure, let's go." Lict said with a smile.
Victoria walked beside Lict as she pushed Vierne behind "You know, we even serve pizza in our cafeteria?" she said.
"Is that so? But I prefer sweets" Lict said "Right Milady? Why are you walking behind us?"
"Oh, well I-"
"SO, LICT CAN I BAKE SOMETHING FOR YOU IN OUR COOKING CLASS?" Victoria said interrupting Vierne.
"Really, you can cook? I can cook too." Lict said.
"Really? That's awesome!! We have something in common! What else to you like?" Victoria said.
Vierne was about to hold Lict's hand, when one of Victoria's girls, Hedley, grabbed Vierne's hand and pushed it back. Vierne was confused what was going on but then she realized something and said "....Are we friends now?" she said.
Hedley and Suzi looked at each at other with a smile and started laughing "Yeah! We are, wanna hang out sometimes?" Hedley said.
"Hang out? Let me ask Lict too-"
"Oh, let's not disturb them!" Suzi said "Just come with us to the bathroom for a sec"
"Oh! But I don't wanna use the bathroom right now."
"JUST SHUT UP AND COME WITH US!" Hedley said "Hey Victoria! We'll be back in a moment!" she shouted as they both took Vierne with them.
"MILDAY-" Lict was about to follow Vierne when Victoria grabbed his hand and said "They're going to the bathroom...Will you even follow her there?"
"Bathroom?" Lict said.
"Yes, should we go in now?" Victoria said and both, she and Lict, entered the science lab.
"Look, Vierne.... whatever your name is, Victoria's interested in Lict, so please, try not to get in their way, okay" Hedley said to Vierne.
"I'm not getting in their way, I and Lict are....just friends" Vierne said.
"Yeah, but you're being clingy to him as if he's your boyfriend. Don't you realize that you're getting in their way? Please, get lost." Hedley said.
"...Are they in love with each other?" Vierne said.
"Yes" Suzi said.
"That's wonderful!! Then, what can I do to support them?" Vierne said.
"Just do as we say." Hedley said.
Vierne smiled and said "OK!...Friends!"
