It's been 2 months since Hiro had been imprisoned and during those months, no one had been able to visit him.
The classification of all ranking officers was denied and he was stuck in an enforced cell created for his kind.
Why they were denied visitation and interrogation was for the simple fact that they had no reason to. He was a traitor and a criminal in their eyes and they were deciding on what to do with him.
And to make it worst, his clan was notified of his crimes and they stepped into the equation.
And I'm just going to say this now, but the high patriarch was not pleased.
The entire class of 443 was still injured and none of them had fully recovered from Hiro's brutal attacks. Even after weeks of healing.
The mission his class was supposed to go on was postponed and they resigned his class another mission for the later future/in the next few months giving them time to heal and prepare.
But that was only because the Natsu clan had stepped in and covered for these incompetent Slayers. And they weren't too happy about it.
And as days came to fold on each other, the class of 443, no, the entirety of RIU had received news that Hiro Natsu had officially been deemed a Traitor and criminal as he had killed a total of 29 Slayers during the battle of Sekouku village.
And meanwhile, as that was said, the day he arrived in that cell, he hadn't spoken a word to anyone.
* * * * *[D: December 10th]* * * * *
After classes, Remi was the first to visit Hiro as he was in a Slayer's holding cell at headquarters in district 6 of Nefumia. And today was the day he was finally able to receive visitors.
How remi found out so fast was unknown?
Walking through the hallways of the mini jail they had for Slayers, Remi was anxious as she saw all the slayers who were imprisoned looking at her like she was a pile of fresh meat as she was being escorted by an Elite Guard.
Walking for a long time she finally got to his cell and as she had, she stopped in front of a large cell to which she saw powerful ruins engraved into everything, most likely dampening or surprising his magic. But it was still a remarkable sight.
Stunned by how much effort they made for just him... She then remembered the damage he had done and she nodded her head as this was probably needed because of how strong of a mage he was and they had to be careful.
But then she shook her head as he didn't deserve this! And she knew it! Despite him almost killing her which she was kinda salty about.
Shaking her head once more she looked to the side of the inner parts of the cell, and she saw Sitting on a squalid dirty bed was Hiro.
The Elite Guard strangely with a bucket in his hand then unlocked the cell and led her in, and as she walked in there with the guard, the guard then yelled in a strong feminine voice right before splashing him with water.
"Wake up! You have a visitor!"
Surprised this scary guard was a girl she then blocked it out as she looked at Hiro, seeing as he was just sitting there with his eyes closed.
His eyes stayed shut and as she was just standing there in front of them, she then heard the sound of the cell closing and locking and she wasn't startled as she was aware that this would happen when she came to visit him.
"Um... H-Hiro, it's me, Remi" Saying that with a gentle but shaken voice, he slowly opened his eyes, and as he did, he looked up at her,
But as he had she flinched as his eyes were red(scarlet) which had surprised her. But from the looks of it, and the room he was currently in, he was unable to use his powers and they were just his regular eye color? Which was odd because they were supposed to be brown?
Still startled by them, she voided it for the moment and spoke... And as she did, he listened.
But he didn't say anything to her, instead, he just looked up at her as she stood there and talked.
She tried to understand what happened 2 months ago. . .But she got nowhere. And when she finally understood that he probably wasn't going to respond, she didn't approach, instead, she just continued to speak to him.
But all he did was listen.
And as he listened his eyes looked calmly at her, it's as if nothing was wrong with him and from his expression, he just didn't seem like responding.
Even if she was to cry right now, the look in his eyes told her that he was just going to sit there and watch her soak into her own tears.
But she could sort of understanding, he was locked up for something he didn't do and it was scary, and she knew that because this scared her too,
She didn't enjoy seeing him here.
An hour passed and she moved next to him to talk, but as time continued and it started coming to a close, she moved her hurt arm around his neck and hugged him before she got up and left as her time visiting was up.
* * *[D: December 11th]* * *
The next day the others had heard about him being able to receive visitors, and as his closest friends and a few other friends came to visit,
It didn't go as expected. . .
They were all given the same silent treatment, and Remi who came along with them just watched as her close friend was just rotting in here.
But did he really deserve it? After all, they were told he was possessed at the time? He was possessed so why is he being blamed!? She didn't know and she didn't have any answers, all she could do was pray for better days.
* * *[D: December 12th]* * *
The next day his sister came to visit and as she kinda went on a rant, cried a bit which he saw as usual, and talked to him for a little without a response, his day was more or less a routine like it had been for the last 2 months, but now another part was added to his schedule as he was receiving visitors in the afternoon.
Even Juan came to visit him, but even then, all Hiro saw in him was pity.
* * *[D: December 13th]* * *
The next day chloe came to visit him during school hours, as the door was unlocked and she saw that he was shackled from head to toe, and she started to tear up from the sight of him being treated like a caged beast.
Rushing over to him and hugged him and cried as she was sorry she couldn't be there for him or do anything to prevent this.
As she had sobbed while holding onto him, he moved his hands to her head, holding her close which was a surprise to the Elite Guard as that was the first response he had ever given anyone while in here.
But then, it gets better because she was dumbfounded.
"It's not your fault you stupid girl" Hiro
Hearing his voice she started to sob more and as she eventually comes down after 19 minutes of just crying on him, she sat next to him and as she was still weeping, he looked down at his cuffed hands and said.
"How's Oliver, I left him with you the day I left for Sekouku, is he doing alright?" So that's where the fucking cat was!
Wiping the tears from her eyes and the snot from her nose she nodded her head,
"I was surprised when I first found him jumping out of my shadow, but I've been taking care of him ever since, and he really misses you, I also missed you" Chloe
Hearing her say that, he turned his head to her, and with a soft smile on his face, he openly said,
"Don't worry, I'm going to break out soon~"
Hearing that the guard flinched as he said that he'd break out, but then he turned to her and chuckled,
"Your as gullible as ever Sydney~ I'm just joking" Hiro
Saying that she stomped her foot down and this all confused Chloe as he was being so formal to that Elite guard with the warrior helmet that shadowing her face.
She looked really scary.
"Stop calling me by my name dumbass! And it's not funny! I should report you for even making a joke like that!" Elite guard Sydney
"Oh really, then report me~" Hiro
But as he responded to her teasingly, she crossed her arms looking at him from what seemed to be menacingly, and then he turned back facing her.
"Anyways, they're not going to execute me, so just take care of Oliver for me a little while longer"
"I-I-I will" she sobbed and he patted her head with his chained hands.
Looking up at him as his expression was unlike what a prisoner should be like, she was going to ask if he was doing okay down here when he then whispered something into her ear.
Her face started to burn cheery red and as little steam puffs came from her head, he giggled and she was just stuck there burning up at what he just said,
she then started softly hitting his arms,
"Don't joke about that! If you do I won't visit you anymore!" Chloe.
And as she said that, he then looked into her crimson eyes, and as she looked into his as he gazed at her,
"Our eyes our similar in a way, and you're the only woman he's actually been around, so I guess you can be–" Hiro
"Nope, I'm not listening!" Chloe
She then grabbed his face and pinched his cheeks as he had an idiotic smile on his face.
"Promise me that you'll get out one day... Legally of course, and when you do, you'll come back"
But as she said that he frowned.
"Don't change topics, that's too confusing for my brain to handle you know?" Hiro
"Just promise me, Hiro!" Chloe
He then laughed "I promise" and she let go of his cheeks.
Smiling as she was still weepy,
"Good" Chloe
But then as she did, he leaned in, and as their faces got close and she started blushing as the unexpected was about to come.
*munch...*
He bit her hand.
"Ahh! hey, what was that for you dog!" Chloe
But as she said that he glared at her like she knew what she did to deserve it.
"You know what you did!" Hiro
"No, I don't!" Chloe
"Yea, you do..." Hiro
"I don't!" Chloe
Spending the rest of the hour just catching up and hearing random and corny jokes, he cheered her up to the point where she stopped crying and he even got another reaction out of the Elite Guard as he predicted her panty color and he got it correct making him the victor, but almost getting pummeled by the guard, and almost hit by Chloe for being indecent.
But it was good times all the way until her time came to an end and she had to leave, she promised to come and visit again the next day,
But as she was walking away with the Elite Guard escorting her out, he uttered something under his breath and then laughed to himself as he found it funny.
* * *The next day* * *
As the class was starting up and Chloe sat down in the front row like usual, this month was a bit different as Emily had been sitting next to her every day for some odd reason.
They'd occasionally speak but it was rare?
She didn't get it? But Emily seemed to not look at her in disgust or think anything about her, so she didn't mind her sitting next to her, she enjoyed it actually.
But anyway, the class was about to start, Zoe had been gifted a cup of coffie by a regular teacher here who fancied her, and the class was chatting and joking around like usual.
Emily had taken out her notes, and chloe had followed as she was thinking about if she could bring anything from outside to Hiro.
She knew he's been locked up for a while now and he was probably living in squalid conditions seeing as she saw the state of him and his room, so she wanted to at least see if she could bring in something small.
Nothing illegal or something that would get them in trouble.
But something like candy, candy was good for the spirit and Christmas was right around the corner so she was hoping to just do something for her only cherished friend.
(Ah yes, Christmas, a holy holiday where they celebrate and give worship to the Elder God Nicholas. . . )
But then as she started thinking about it, her mind shifted in another direction and she started blushing...
But then her expression became grim as she knew something like that would never happen.
But then her eyes widened as she remembered what she had read in her archived.
But then as soon as she started thinking about Hiro and how he was a Half-Incubus as she had finally found a book on his kind in her family's archives.
*Burst!*
"Hold it!"
The class turned to the door as she heard a shout and slam, and as they looked towards its direction, bursting into the room was none other than–
Hiro.
He charged at Zoe's desk as he was being chased by 2 slayers and he held a sword in his hands as he snatched one of theirs from them.
He then jumped in the air and at her, and as she saw reacted to the yelling and his presence she stumbled out of her chair and away from her desk to where he then slashed down, destroying her desk.
This startled everyone as he wasn't in jail anymore, but was still shackled, meaning he fucking escaped! And he was out for blood as he attacked Zoe with a ducking flucking fucking sword trying to kill her.
With her back against the wall, he stood up, and as the only thing constraining him was shackled on his wrists, he gripped the sword with both hands and as he stood on the broken desk which leaked coffie onto the ground, he faced her and clenched his teeth.
"You die now, Necromancer"
But as he said that and her face was filled with terror and so was his class as he threw everything into disorder.
They all then heard a shout,
"Constraint!"
His body then twitched and then another shout was heard from outside the door as the 2 slayers were still charging at him, one with a sword and the other without.
Dropping the sword in his hands, "Down Boy!" it looked as if some pressure had forced him down as he fell onto his knee, but you could clearly tell that he was resisting like hell.
And as he did the Slayers got to him and they both tackled him off the desk and away from Zoe
Having him tackled and grabbed forcibly by the 2 slayers, Mari shot up, and as she was actually about to yell "Release my brother!" Zarifall had also shot up along with Remi.
But then they all saw a woman wearing Elite guard armor walk into the room, her aura was horrifying and it was the same guard who escorted them all when visiting Him.
Walking up to Hiro as the 2 Slayers held him by his arms and brung him over to her, she then punch him in the gut to where he threw up a clear ascetic liquid onto the ground and then she struck him 2 times in the face before grabbing his head as his face was bleeding and she said,
"Zoe Michaelson you are safe now, he is of no harm"
But as she said that he clenched his teeth and he was death staring at her as he was physically unable to speak.
Turning to the class, the Elite Guard then said,
"Hiro Natsu will be resuming his classes at here university under the order of the church, however before I can let that happen, I would like to remind you that he is a dangerous Rank 2 Mage and he is both a traitor and criminal to here kingdom and us slayers"
Turning back to Zoe who was told to come to her by one is the slayers, she was between them and as the Elite Guard faced her, she asked for Zoe's hand and when she got it, she put a ring on her pointer finger.
"With the ring, Hiro won't be able to kill you, we don't know why? But he seems to only be hostile towards you, so with this, that will no longer be a problem"
But as soon as she said that, as soon as she said Zoe would be safe, Hiro's armored tail spike stabbed Zoe's thigh...
Looking down at the front, the class froze as his tail stabbed her thigh and he smiled,
And at that moment, he knew... He fucked up.
