Over the course of one month Shin had fewer and fewer students who switched schools for better ones or were expelled. He stood infront of the chalkboard waiting until class would start, his arms were crossed and his eyes were closed as if he was thinking.
As he stood there was only 2 students in the room, takeshi a student who has constantly trains and is hard working, the other was Aiko a student was also hard working but is terrible at close range.
RING, class had started and only those two students were there, But Shin could not care less.
"you two, follow me" Shin ordered, They both got up from their seats and followed Shin out the class. "Sir where are you going?" Takeshi asked.
"the principal's office" Shin replied, hearing that both students were instantly worried that they were about to be in trouble.
"You both are not in trouble so stop shaking like that" Shin said, Aiko and Takeshi were relieved upon hearing this and stopped shaking vigorously.
As Shin stood infront of the principal's door he knocked. "Sir may i enter?" Shin asked, he heard some shuffling before getting a response. "of course!, please come in!" The principal urged, Shin opened the door and entered with the two students. The office was has damaged as ever.
"so what brings you here Shin?" The principal asked, he then noticed the two students behind Shin.
"Are those2 in trouble?" He asked with a bit of worry. "Oh, no sir i wanted to discuss something else" Shin replied, clearly the principal was thankfull that anther student did not cause trouble or was leaving.
"Is it that bad sir?" Shin asked, noticing how stressed the principal was and knew it was because of the number of students decreasing. "Unfortunately it is, our academy already had a low amount of students that being 100, but now we are left with 75" The principal replied with a sigh.
"but i'm sure we will find a way to manage everthing soon, so why did you come here Shin?" He asked. "I would like you to allow my class to go on a class trip for training sir"
Shin answered. This shocked the two students but the principal remained calm and though for a bit.
"Iwoud allow it but we have no funds for the trip" He said with a bit of shame. "It's alright sir, i will be using my own funds sir" shin knew how much the academy meant to Principal touka. "Your own funds?, i thought you were homeless though?" The principal said with genuine curiosity, The two student shearing this were holding back their laughs while Shin was realy annoyed after hearing that.
"Ahem but if you do have the funds then i will allow it" The principal said, clearly trying to end this conversation.
"thank you sir" Shin replied, he was irrtated and you could see a vein poppoing out on his hand, the principal just turned away whilst the student laughed.
Shin left the office with a fake smileand the students giggled a bit. He sighed before speaking to the two of them.
"go home and pack your things, we leave tomorow" Shin said. "But sir what about our parents?, don't we need their permission?" Aiko asked.
"i'm sure they will allow you, so now go" Shin answered, they both grabbed there things and went home.
Shin also went home but he did not need to pack to many things, he just needed his sword and he was all good. and so he spent the rest of the day relaxing in the water of the hot spring.
On the next day Shin was an the entrance o the Academy waiting for Aiko and Takeshi.
whenhe spotted them arriving with a bag that had their things. "told you they would agree" Shin said, with a cheeky smile. "yes sir we know...so where to now?" Takeshi asked.
"The demon world of course" Shin replied as he walked off,urging the two to follow him.
"THE WHAT!?" They shouted at him. "calm down i'll explain on the way" He said trying to reassure them,but clearly they were still nervous. Shin chuckled a bit because of how scared they were.
The trip would take one month as the realms were sepererated by a gate to protect each realm after the Incident.
The one month trip was peaceful, Shin of course enjoyed it, Takeshi and Aiko were goofing around but Shin was happy they dropped their serious attitude from studying to much.
Usually they set up a camp and would sleep until morning but Takeshi was curious about something, so while Aiko was asleep and Shin was sitting on a log around a campfire he sat next to him.
"So why aren't you asleep Takeshi?" Shin asked. "I was curious about you sir" He replied. Shin looked at the fire, it was warm and had comforting.
"How are you so strong?" Takeshi asked tilting head to the side. "talent" He replied.
"...your lying...but i won't bother you if you won't tell me, so goodnight" Takeshi responded, he went to sleep and Shin was sitting on the log alone.

On the next day they were back on the road, they passed many kingdoms such as Arghan and finaly reached the location.
It was an ancient temple that was off the books, no information about it's exist is public. The two student were amazed and entered the temple with Shin.
"Uhm si-"
"do not call me sir, i am a comrade so call me by my name alright?" Shin said, he did not like being called sir when he was not even a king anymore. "oh alright" Aiko responded.
They ventured deep inside the temple, and thats when three portals came into frame.
"3 portals?" Takeshi asked curiously, he got closer to one of them but Shin stopped him.
"Don't otherwise i probably won't be able to get you out" He said.
"Oh alright" Takeshi replied a bit startled that he almost became a lost child. Shim then walks through the portal in the center, it glowed a blood red color and smelled of blood.
Shin's students did not question it at all and just followed him in. As they all walked through, the entire world now looked different, To Takeshi and Aiko it was a world full of horrors, the sky was red, wierd machines they saw were everywhere, and there were demons.
But to Shin, it was an advanced world of steampunk, the red was a nice blood red colour, the Machines were ahead of the time, and the demons were not scary at all.
The portal was right in the center of the Capital of the demon world. The demons heard the sound of the portal and when they saw the humans they were shocked.
"See not so scary" Shin said, his students were probably still procesing what was happening but it was fine for him.
"How dare you..." a demon said,angered at Shin as her gaze was directed towards him.
Shin heard this and looked around but had no idea which demon it was.
"HOW DARE YOU COPY HIS BODY!" The demon shouted, The demon was so fast rhat shin did not notice, that she was right infront of him.
"HELLFIRE IMPACT" She shouted, the flames in her fist went from a fiery red to a brigth blue, Increasing it's temperature, and instantly she throws a powerful punch at Shin's stomach
Shin was sent crashing into a wall and groaned in pain, he looked at the demon, she wore clothing similar to a cowboy and had a mask on bandana covering her mouth, even has the hat and all. Shin knew who this was.
