"Well, it's nice of you to join us Shane "Mrs. Victoria snapped at me when I knocked the door. We woke up late and we also wasted the thirty minutes we had to get to school telling stories and laughing on the way. I got to the first lesson forty five minutes late.
"It's also nice to see you Mrs. Victoria, I got released"
"I can see that" Mrs. Victoria said plainly. I noticed today she wore a pink dress and she had tied her hair in a ponytail making her look even younger.
"Yeah, yesterday evening. Turns out I wasn't on the wrong side of the law… they even bought me…"
"Sit down" she shot
"Sure" I nodded then walked to my seat.
Unusually, Deborah was glaring at me when I passed by her. I swear she snorted. Maybe she was still mad at me for making out with her girl on her bed, that wasn't even a big deal. If I could unsleep from the bed I would but I couldn't because I couldn't manipulate time. If it was such a big issue she could just change her sheets and try to forget about it.
The rest of the lesson went on pretty well except for the occasional glares I got from Deborah. Admittedly, I wasn't even paying any attention to anything we were being taught, Mrs. Victoria's eyes kept crossing with mine every time. It made me think of other things other than English.
"On Friday there will be a school dance, here at school. As your class teacher, it is my responsibility to make sure everyone attends and that there will be no pregnant girl nine months from the said date" a couple of laughs erupted
"As usual, the dress code for girls is anything that is over your knees and your shoulder blades. We don't want to see how you have bloomed"
"Boys can wear whatever they want….that's all" she completed as she made way out of the class. Before she was out the door,
"And John, next time you wank in my class I will have to kick you out"
Everyone including me turned to look at the weird looking kid who sat a couple seats from me laughing hard. He was currently smiling embarrassedly at everyone as he straightened his pants. John was so bold, wasn't he?
During the second period to lunch, I made way to the school library to do some research. Someone would say I'm crazy, ditching a class just to study in the library. Well I wasn't there for the purposes of studying, I wanted to learn of any myths surrounding the ancient inhabitants of this world. The descendants of ancient sects and anything that would help me get back my swords and powers.
I almost fainted when I saw the sheer size of the library, stacks of books piled against numerous rows of shelves. It smelled of papers, wet earth the kind that has recently been rained on and strangely death. To make it even spookier, it was dead pin drop silent, so silent that my breathing seemed like noise to the library woman who wore glasses. The people inside the library were countable, they could number ten or less. The situation was so intense for me that I felt like I would suffocate. For a demon lord, the situation was worse than torture.
"You are not in a museum, get a book to read or get out…you are making me uncomfortable"
"I would actually like to borrow some books "I smiled
"You have to be more specific, we have at least ten thousand books in here" the woman raised her brows
"About demons or religion…very ancient history" I tried to specify
The woman removed her glasses and looked at me oddly.
"You are serious? "
"Yes, the older the book the better" I nodded my head
"I guess I could find some books that relate to the ancient demon history and religions" the woman led me to a certain row "I can't make any promises though, no one has ever requested for books like those"
She had to climb a ladder to get me four huge books. They were brown, dusty and very heavy but I was a bit happy.
"You have to sign your name here before you borrow the books, how long till you return them?"
"Today evening" I said already starting to scan the first book
"Just out of curiosity, why do you need these kind of books?" she asked
"Maybe I'm just interested in the world of fantasy or fiction, or maybe I'm the legendary demon lord…"
The library woman broke out in a small laugh
"You are funny"
Well, she thought I was joking. If she only knew she was standing in the presence of a reincarnated demon lord.
"The demon lord and the righteous sect are myths. The story of how he was betrayed was touching…"
"You know about the demon lord and the righteous sect?" I looked at her my interest starting to grow
"I have worked in a library for fifteen years" the woman smiled "I have read everything inside this hall"
"Ooh, thanks…I'll bring over the books when I'm done with them" I said rushing out of the library.
