The knocking on the door woke up Satou.

“Huh, yeah yeah I’m coming” The people continued to knock even though Satou told them he was coming. He opened the door frustrated.

“I said I was coming, you didn't have to-” Satou, still sleepy, wiped his eyes and looked at the girl in school uniform.

“Good morning, Mr.Suzuko, this is your school ID and this is your roommate's ID, Izumo Suzuko. Also, your school uniform and your roommate's school uniform and you have to report to the principal's office in thirty minutes” the girl said, she walked off, and Satou held onto the two big boxes and the two envelopes.

“Isn't this the boy's dorms is she allowed in here? And she spoke so professionally. I feel important” Satou giggled.

He shut the door with his feet and looked at the digital clock on the nightstand.

“7 am, it's so early” Satou put down the boxes and went back to bed.

“Satou… wake up” Izumo pushed him around.

“Hmmm, just a few more minutes… please” Satou muttered.

“Get up, we're going to be late for school,” Izumo said.

“What do you mean we're going to be late for school? it's only 7 am” Satou eases up to look at the digital clock on the nightstand.

“Eight-thirty, Izumo we're thirty minutes late!!” Satou jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. He then peeked his head out of the bathroom to see Izumo already in his school uniform.

“You … wait you look niceeeeeee” Satou complimented him.

“I know right” Izumo said as he flexed his muscles.

“Ok, you relax there buddy” Satou smiled, he then rushed into the bath, brushed his teeth, and hopped around the room while he put on his uniform.

“Ok, I’m ready,” Satou said, he bolted through the door while Izumo casually walked behind him

“Come on Izumo, the elevator is soon here,” Satou said, he continued to rush meanwhile Izumo continued to walk nonchalantly.

“Shiro, I’m just saying if you didn't-” The elevator doors opened, Akeem and Shiro were already inside.

“I told you so!!” Shiro shouted

“Sigh, we came to get you guys but I said you guys were probably gone by now but Shiro said not and we betted on it…” Akeem facepalmed.

“Loserrrrrrrrr!!!” Shiro shouted.

“Whatever man,” Akeem said

______________________________________________________________________________

They walked down the blue-brick path going towards the big white gate to the school.

“Why is the gate closed?” Izumo asked

“Cause we’re late” Akeem answered

“So how are we going to get in? We can’t jump over this thing is like 40 feet tall” Satou looked up at the top of the gate.

“We know a way,” Akeem said

“I’m guessing you two are always late huh?” Satou said

“Yup” Shiro replied

Suddenly the gate slowly opened.

“Oh, look it opened,” Satou said cluelessly

“That’s not a good thing Satou…” Akemi warned.

When the gate was fully opened, they saw a small girl standing at the entrance of the school where Miss Misery was.

“Who’s that?” Izumo questioned

“Oh shit… we had to meet the principal at seven thirty” Shiro took a step back because he knew what was coming.

“Oh you guys had to meet the principal too,” Satou said

“Run!!!” Akeem shouted, as Akeem and Shiro turned around to run away, Izumo’s eyes opened up, he tried to put up his guard but before he could, the hand covered his face and smashed him into the ground.

“Huh-” Satou turned around to see his brother’s head smashed into the ground then he looked in front of himself to see the small elf girl getting ready to punch him in the stomach, but he couldn’t react in time. The punch connected to his stomach in result made him vomit up blood upon impact and sent him flying down the school grounds. She looked back to see Akemi and Shiro ran off.

“Hm,” she said then she vanished.

Shiro was running through the forest trying to get back to the boy’s dorm but suddenly a foot appeared in front of his face.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“She found me already,” Shiro thought to himself as he dodged the kick like he was doing the limbo, sliding on his knees. He quickly turned around to face her but she was gone, he looked left and right but she vanished. He then realized she was right behind him before he could turn around to look at her, he was knocked out.

“Akeem, when I get back to my office and I don't see you in here, you won’t be able to eat solid foods after I’m done with you,” she said even though Akeem was nowhere to be seen she said it as though she knew he would. She then picked up Shiro, threw him over her shoulder, and vanished.

______________________________________________________________________________

May, Akeem, and Nishika stood inside the room with the tall build shelves, the wooden desk facing the door, and the huge glass panel in the wall behind the wooden desk. Suddenly the door opened and the small girl had Shiro still unconscious over her shoulder, behind her was a tall male student with Izumo and Satou also unconscious over his shoulder.

He gently put down Satou and Izumo on the ground while the small girl threw Shiro off her shoulder.

“Thank you Amarco”

“No problem, Princess” She smashed the door on the boy after he said that, walked to the wooden desk, and sat down in the office chair. Akeem, May, and Nishika put their hands behind their back and stood up straight like soldiers.

She stared at them menacingly.

“Huh!” Nishika was startled, the negative aura started to show from the small girl as it started to cloud up the room, Izumo sprung up on guard and so did Satou while Shiro still lay unconscious on the floor.

“What in the elf is going on, is all that negative aura coming from her…” Satou's hands start to shake under the pressure of the negative aura.

While May, Akeem, Nishika, and Satou start to sweat profusely from fear. Izumo walked right up to her desk and stared at her.

“I'm surprised, your head stopped bleeding, do you want me to change that?” She said

Izumo then raised his fist over his head to deliver a hammer punch but was kicked in the jaw before he could react, but he was still on his feet, she continued to beat him all around the room while the others got hit with some of the kicks and punches just because she could.

Everyone was on the ground, grinning and moaning in pain. She turned around to walk back to her desk but Izumo stood in front of her.

“Even though I've beaten you to a pulp and you should be dead. You stand in front of me asking me for more?” she said

He was breathing heavily with the blood dripping off his face despite that he still swung his fists at her. She hopped around the room evading his attacks. Hitting and destroying the bookshelves then Izumo threw the books at her and continued his barrage of attacks.

“ OK, that's enough,” she said, she kicked Izumo on the bookshelf then kicked him in the stomach and finished him off with a hammer kick to his back.

“Get up Shiro and stop playing dead,” she said

“But the ground feels cool” Shiro replied jokingly

“Now that I have everyone's attention. Firstly I'm glad you are alive and well Nishika, welcome back. Secondly, none of you should be here. Satou and Nishika, you came from the small elf village in the East, and Izumo, you came from the tribe in the mountains in the south. You two haven't registered for civilization and have been lurking in the city for six months. So you have no ID, no license, no passport, your fingerprints aren't on record, nothing. The rest of you are just weak cowards and lazy dumbasses, especially May and Nishika. I got a report for the graceful lady from last night.” She waved the report around and shook her head in disappointment.

“In this report, let’s see… right here, “two female students were already present, however, they were in a state of shock or fear making them unable to move, and they would’ve been killed if I didn't intervene.” The graceful lady’s innate art is called Fancy dance” the girl laughed.

“She would’ve danced you two to death. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” She continued to laugh at them. May and Nishika’s eyes started to tear up while still in pain from the beating they had gotten earlier.

“It’s now two minutes since I grazed you two. I didn't even focus on you. I hit you twice and you’re still lying down like you're dead. I also know that you were an A-rank executioner at the lodge, unfortunately, the owner is a perverted freak so he gave you that rank without even thinking straight, luckily with this information we could shut down the lodge, and then that A-class demon you killed innate-art was called intimidation just had all bark no bite even a nobody on the street could've killed him so don't let that inflate your ego” She continued to insult May and Nishika about their poor durability and their lack of confidence.

“All of you up now” Her sudden seriousness sent chills down May and Nishika. They all stood at attention even Izumo with his face completely covered in blood.

“ This is now my team,” She said

“Don’t you have the student council for that already?” Akeem replied

“The student council are school representatives most of the time, they’re out dealing with other matters. I’m surprised I saw Amarco today” She scratched her head and looked out the glass panel behind her.

“Your squad name is Under Six”

“That's so cool!!” Satou shouted excitedly

“Cause we’re rank E and it’s six of us,” Shiro sighed

“Now I’m starting to realize where Jizu got it from” Akeem also sighed

“Find your way to the infirmary and take the rest of the day off. Dismissed”

They shout the door behind them.

“Unfortunately, to get to the infirmary from here, we got to walk past the second-year block.”

They were all bruised up, bloody, and lumping. They lumped past the classrooms as the students looked at them, glossing to each other, while others stared with predator's eyes. Izumo caught a male student staring him down like prey and stared back despite the blood still dripping off his face, he walked up to the student and said.

“Who you looking at like that huh?” the student smirked at him

“You and what-” the student responded but before he could finish this sentence, Shiro pulled Izumo out of his face.

“Izumo, let’s go…” Shiro said softly

“Tsk, why don’t you mind your business golden failure!!!” the student lashed out at Shiro, but Shiro didn’t look in his direction and kept his hand on Izumo’s shirt.

“I’m talking to you failure, answer me” The student got up in Shiro’s face but Izumo wasn’t having it. Izumo got ready to strike the boy in the face but Akemi stopped him before he could. They then dragged him down the hall.

“I'm going to come back for you and beat your ass for insulting my friend!!!” Izumo shouted

“Dude, that was so corny… could’ve just stopped at beat your ass” Akeem chuckled.

Shiro looked down at him curiously as he continued to drag him along.

“Friend huh” Shiro thought to himself.

They arrived at the infirmary and opened the door to see a male student sitting down on one of the hospital beds. Everyone walked into the room quietly but Satou noticed his arm was in a cast and questioned.

“What happened to your arm?”

“It’s broken dumbass” the student replied

“Just ignore him and go on one of the beds. We have to wait until Miss Misery or Miss. Scarlet comes” Shiro said, he avoided eye contact with the student and went to the furthest bed away from him.

“Ten beds on the left side of the room and ten beds on the right side which side should I choose” Satou goofed around while walking up and down the room trying to choose the best bed.

“Yo dumbass, just go sit on a bed” the student cursed at him

“What did you just say to me?” Satou turned to him with slight anger on his face.

“Satou, just come over on this side and sit on a bed. He’s just trying to get a rise out of you” May said. Satou went to a bed on the opposite side of the student. Satou stared at him with death in his eyes.

“I don’t care how nasty you stare at me, I don't see any negative aura coming from you so I already know I don’t get nothing to be scared of but why don't you come over here and show me how scary you are huh?” the student kept provoking Satou

“But those eyes of yours are so pretty if I was a girl I would be falling head over heels for you right now,” He chuckled then he busted out laughing which resulted in Izumo getting out of his bed.

“Izumo, please just sit down” May tried to calm down the situation but this caught the attention of the student.

“You know that we demi-humans should stick together but you're friends with an elf and four humans, come on now whatever happened to sticking to your roots? Did you stick your tail between legs to fit in with them, you don’t have to lie about it cause you switched to your human's ears. Don’t you find that funny that us demi-humans have the ability to change from our animal ears to human ears is it to fit it more with humans ?, but I wouldn’t be such a coward to do that like you..” his words cut deep into May’s heart, she put her head down and stayed quiet but Akemi, Shiro, Nishika, Izumo and Satou get out of their beds without saying a word they made their way to his bed. Suddenly the door opened.

“Tommy, I discharged you two hours ago why are you still here?” Miss Misery asked.

“Oh, silly me just wanted to skip class you know how boring Executioner Safety is” the student giggled and walked out as he looked down at them and smirked.

“Well, I hope I see you guys around”

Miss. Misery walked over to the chair in the corner of the room and took out a small notebook and pen out of her pocket. She started to write quietly as the others sat awkwardly waiting for her to say something.

“Akemi and Shiro you’re free to go,” She said without losing focus on her writing.

“Alright, we're out!!!” Shiro shouted

Akeem and Shiro jumped out of bed.

“Peace out,” Akeem said as he threw up the double peace sign while walking out.

“May and Nishika make your way to the hot spring and on your way eat these” Miss. Misery said she took two small green packs out of her pocket. Nishika gagged as she took the pack from Miss. Misery.

“Ew, tergre this is so bitter…” She complained.

“It has medical benefits, it will help heal those bruises and the hot spring will clear them up” Miss. Misery explained. Nishika turned around with disgust on her face, May rubbed her back.

“It’s not that bad plus we’re going to the… hot spring!!!” May shouted

“Yayyyyyy!”

They both dashed through the door excited for the hot spring. While Satou and Izumo watched them run out, when they turned back around, Miss. Misery stood in between both of the beds.

“This has to be a record for the history books,” she chuckled.

“ One day and a few hours and you two are in the infirmary already. I’m truly impressed” She put one of her hands out in front of her, and suddenly long needles sprung out from her fingertips.

“!!!’ Satou and Izumo jumped at the sudden appearance of the needles.

“Is that her innate art, it can’t be, we’re in God’s hands aren’t we??!!” Satou thought to himself.

“She’s going kill us!!” Izumo’s instincts kicked in as he tried to spring out of the bed to attack her.

“Huh,I can’t move, shit I can’t move!!!” He tried to twist and turn his body but he could only swing his head around

“What’s going on?!, it feels like I’m paralyzed from the neck down, she’s going kill us, wait since she can use her innate art that means…” Satou’s thoughts went wild.

“Adio!!!” Satou shouted hopelessly.

Suddenly a hand emerged from Satou’s shadow.
