Anguis's PoV
"Psychic control is a branch of magic that deals with controlling your magic using your mind. Every one of you present here has some sort of psychic powers and you all know how difficult it is to control it. Thus, this course will help you control your powers and teach you how to use it safely.
Your magic enhances your ability to sense different types of powers and locate its source. Your task in the human realm is to locate the source of demonic energy that is manipulating with the humans. You shall disguise as humans and try to locate the demonic energies in the suspected areas. You will also help the healers in healing the victims of the demonic attack and try to neutralise the demonic energy from them. You will be placed in different groups for today. Collect the watches and gui-" The professor was still talking when suddenly the bulb exploded. Everyone stood up and looked on my side, where Alex was sitting.
His face was red and it seemed like he was angry about something and couldn't control his magic. The professor then said "What happened Alexander? Are you not feeling well?" Honestly, our professor was one of the calmest people I have ever known. His polite tone was kind of reassuring to me.
"I am fine, just a little tired. I am sorry for disturbing you in between the lecture." Replied Alex. Even though he assured everyone that he was okay, he didn't seem okay to me.
"Come here Alex, let me calm you before you damage anything else." Said the professor. Alex went up to him and stood in front of the professor. He casted a spell on Alex to stop his magic from going out of control. When Alex returned to his seat, I asked him what was going on with him, to which he said nothing.
The professor continued with his explanation and asked us to collect our watches and guidebook. The guidebook contains the detail about the suspected area and information regarding the human world.
Then I went forward to check the group. Surprisingly, Alex and I were in the same group along with two other people, Lily and Mei.
We were then given time to connect with our group members as we were all going to be working together for rest of the three days. More like stuck with each other.
"Do you all know that all the departments would be staying together?" Said Lily.
"How do you know that?" Asked Alex, seemingly calm now.
"Our senior told me. According to him, the school offers weird jobs to the student, so the best part of the day in human world is night, when you get to sleep." Said Lily. She seemed to be popular among seniors.
"That reminds me, what are we going to do in the human world?" Said Mei, speaking for the first time in a while.
"That should be be given in the guidance. Let's check it out" I said. Even I was curious about what we were going to be in the human realm.
"So we are in group three which means that our suspected area is this high school and we are supposed to go as… teacher." Said Lily, pointing at the guidance book where a picture of a high school was shown.
"We are supposed to deal with teenagers! And we are supposed to teach? Why?" Said Alex, in an exaggerated manner.
"It is written in the guide that we will be taught about our profession when we reach the human world and then we will be sent to do our task." Said Mei, in a calm voice.
"The demon must be disguised either as a teacher or as a student. We should divide ourselves into two groups, one observing the students and the second one focusing on the teachers." I said, in a serious tone.
"But how will we divide ourselves? We have no idea about each other's strengths." Said Alex. He can be smart sometimes.
"Let's decide that through chits. Whoever gets number 1 and number 2 will be observing the students and whoever gets number 3 and number 4 in the chits will be observing the teachers." Said Lily, somewhat excited about this.
We made the chits and kept it in a bowl. Then we shaked the bowl, ensuring that the task is done fairly and everyone picked up one-one chit. I just hope I don't get number 1 or number 2 and also, I hope I am with Alex.
"I got number 3. Yay, now I don't have to deal with the students." Said Lily happily. This means I would either be with Alex, observing the students or with Lily, observing the teachers.
"I got number 4." Said Alex.
This means that me and Mei are a group. I opened my chit just to confirm that they were not joking. Turns out they weren't. It is going to be a long journey.

All the students started to gather in the portal room. It was time for us to depart for the human realm. I was standing in a corner along with my group members, waiting for Selene to enter. I wanted to check on her. Since morning, whenever she saw me she ran away before I could even talk to her. But now that we are about to leave where will she escape to?
Suddenly I sensed that energy, which I had sensed outside the council room, somewhere in the room. I looked around, trying to find its source. But to my surprise I couldn't pin point the source.
Just then I saw Selene entering the room along with Diana, looking beautiful as always. Whenever I see her, my heartbeat increases, I feel all giddy and happy. I just want to be near her. In simple words, she owns my soul. Oh dear, I have finally lost it. But I am happy that she came into my life.
"I am going to meet Selene, want to join me?" I asked Alex. I was still looking at Selene but his lack of response made me look towards him. Pain was etched on his face. His gloomy look was enough for me to understand that something was not right.
"Alex" I called him while shaking his shoulder, trying to gain his attention.
"Yes" he seemed confused, unaware of his surroundings. He was totally lost in his own world, his body tensed.
"Drink some water, you don't seem well to me. Are you okay?" I asked him.
"I am fine, I will go drink some water." He said and went away without even wasting any more time.
"Strange." I mumbled and went towards Selene.
