(interview 1 start)

"Please state your name and age and why you are here." A woman said to a girl across.

"Hello, my name is Onix. I'm 19, and I had an ex-boyfriend that was obsessed with me. He died a year ago, and now I think his soul doesn't let me go. So yeah, I might need some help. It was funny at first, but now it's annoying; I can't have a boyfriend because a day after, they get severely injured and they blame me, they say "She has a demon for a pet!" and in my school and home, everyone started to fear me, now I'm alone as you can see." Onix said as she glanced behind her, a sound like crickets but a slower and more profound tone got closer and closer to her.

"What was your ex-boyfriend's death like?" A woman in front of the girl said.

"W-what? Why do you care?" The girl said, shrugging her shoulders.

"This is an interview we are asking you because the way a human dies impacts a lot in either becoming a curse, going to hell, or going to heaven. And from what you have already told us, you already asked for help from other companies of exorcists and they all turn you down, either because, the curse is too strong or too weak." the woman said.

Well he was a nice guy, he was weird but nice" She paused for a few seconds. "He was bullied for a long time, but he always had a smile on hes face." She looked to the side.

"You have not answered my question, how did he die?" The woman said.

"He committed suicide, he took his own life." The girl said.

"Why?" The woman answered.

"I-I don't know," Onix said.

(End of interview 1)

The girl was in an interrogation room. She was interviewed by a woman with a mark on the top of her hand, an open fedora with a blue shirt with long sleeves, a chest plate, and a steal shoulder armor on her right shoulder with jeans.

There was also a window with a one-way view mirror and another room where two other women were watching the interview.

"it seems that the curse is dominant... It doesn't react to woman; curses are the evil desire of someone taking form into the word of the living; this ex of hers was to obsess with her to create an unidentified curse level." the first woman who had this similar attire as the first woman said crossing her arms.

The woman next to her looks at the girl. "What is an unidentified curse?"

The woman looked at her. "Well, a level seven curse is mostly called a common curse; a level one curse requires at least two teams of exorcists. The Vatican partners us up in teams of two. But an unidentified level curse is known for being among the strongest, it's called like that because it is stronger than any other curse, they don't have a measurement because they can't be measured." the woman said, pointing at the curse behind the girl.

"so there are levels between exorcists." the lady said, looking at the girl too.

"yes, while exorcists are born with marks on their hands, that mark gives them special abilities; others use exorcist tools, from swords to amulets. There is a chart for them all. Exorcists who don't have an ability can only go from level 8 to level 4; those are where things get interesting. There have been many people who have reached level 1, but that is not the last level-"

She was interrupted by a door behind them slammed open, and a girl with glasses entered and looked at both of the ladies and spoke, "Mrs. Ironstone, there are two exorcists level 0 looking for you, Mrs. Alys Burningheart and Mr. Noah Ofbabylon." the girl said and dismissed her self from the room.

"level 0 are capable of destroying nations by themselves." Mrs. Ironstone said, looking at the door.

"Sorry we are late; this big guy wanted to kill some common curses," Alys said, smiling and hitting Noah on the chest.

She was dressed similarly to the other women, but the only thing she was missing was the sleeves; her hair was short black, her eyes were green, and she had two swords on her back forming an x.

Noah, on the other hand, was wearing a black jacket with a hood and dark jeans, and he was wearing dark blue globes. The hood covered his hair, which looked black, and his eyes were light blue.

"Sorry, I assumed that it was ok because there were two teams in this area, and a child was in danger," Noah said, looking behind Mrs. Ironstone.

The lady next to her pointed at him and said, "There is no excuse for tardiness; low-level curses can wait. You needed to be here half an hour ago!" she said, "And what is a man doing here? Is he here to carry your bags, what a joke, you should be cleaning and doing the laundry, inferior! There is no room in the organization for a low life like y-" it became silent. Still, for a moment, Noah disappeared and appeared before the woman with his fist touching her nose.

"a person like you should not talk; I was assigned the rank of 0 for a reason; if you disrespect me again, you will meet god in an instant." Noah said as he put his hand down and started walking towards the window. "so it's her, Onix, and her curse..." Jaune looked behind the girl, and his eyes widened. "It is looking at me; he knows I'm here."

The woman that Noah threatened looked at him. Her hands were shaking her body, too. She was a mess. She was scared. Those light blue eyes kept staring at her in her mind.

"She is saying that it only attacks men; we can not identify or hurt the curse while it is dormant; we can barely sense it, but you can see it with 'the eyes of Able.' Do you see its level?" ironstone said, holding Noah's shoulder.

Noah's eyes were glowing. "no, I can see it, but the flow of evil energy is unknown while the thing sleeps."Noah said, looking back at her.

Alys was looking at them while poking the other lady's cheek. "There is the mother complex going at it again."

The lady recovered from the shock and looked at Alys. "What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Ironstone adopted Noah while he was still in the academy. She is his second mother; he had to flee his home... Well, it was more like his home was destroyed, and he had to find a way to move on with his life; she got attached to Noah; she was his teacher for almost all his classes; he laughed, cried, and even ate next to Mrs. Ironstone, she knew she can replace his mother, but she tries to be similar to her because she truly loves Noah like her son." Alys said, smiling at Noah.

"How is my baby boy doing?" Mrs. Ironstone said, placing her head against his shoulder.

"I'm good, ma. We just came back from China following the lead of Kane, but he was gone before we could kill him," Noah said, smiling.

"That is okay, baby, we will find him; he always leaves something behind; you have grown so much. How old are you now? 18 and with a beautiful girlfriend," she said, smiling and looking back at Alys.

Alys just smiled and waved at her.

"Yeah, ma, I'm old enough to drink in some countries." Noah chuckled because his mom got upset. "I'm kidding; she will never let me drink," Noah said, pointing to Alys with his thumb without looking back, "She truly is my soulmate, but I wonder why my soulmate hits me so much. I guess god thinks I'm a masochist or something." Noah said, and a second after, he felt the light slap of Alys on his chest.

"what are you saying? I hit you when you act like an idiot, Mom; Noah and I would celebrate his birthday after this mission. We are wondering if y-" Alys was saying when she got interrupted.

"Of course, I'm going; it is a good thing you are with him because he doesn't care about his birthday as much as we do." Noah stopped his mom and his girlfriend chat and looked at the girl.

"the curse is talking to her, he is saying that we are bad people and she believes him, she is asking the lady if she can go home now... Let her go home. If the curse goes berserk here, it could bring the whole building down. I need an open space to fight it." Noah said, looking at his mom.

"We, dry ice, we," Alys said, smiling at him and leaning towards him. "leave this to us, Mom. I'll bring your son back in one piece."

"without a doubt, just call me when you guys are done so we can celebrate this ice cube's birthday." Noah's stepmother said.

"Those nicknames are awful," Noah said chuckling.
