After his hours of practice, Zero teleported back to his room, changed into his school uniform, and headed to school. Zero had been in a hurry so he didn’t wear his ring to humanize his stats. Arriving at school Zero finally realized his mistake but it was that big of a deal since all he need to do was remain conscious of his strength and speed.
School life was a peaceful time but Zero found it to be a complete waste of his time. He felt rather than sit in class learning things he didn’t care about he could better spend his time familiarizing himself with the rest of his abilities. He truthfully wondered why Soma, Mina, and Yoko were adamant about coming here.
The school day proceeded like any other day until around lunchtime. A student who was well known for bullying others bummed into Zero while hanging out with his entourage. Zero apologized without looking at the student even though the fault lay with him and proceeded to walk away.
The student walked up and grabbed Zero from behind and said, “Didn’t your mother ever teach you to look people in the eye when apologizing?”
Zero said nothing with his normal aloof look turned cold when he heard the student mention his mother. Taking his silence as a sign of weakness and hearing his friends jeering at Zero the student finally said, “I guess only a b**** can raise a b****** like you. You think you’re the greatest just cause girl fawn over you and that guy Soma.”
When Zero heard the boy insult Nyx it was like a switch went off inside him and the next thing he knew he took a swing at the student with no care for holding back. He had already launched his attack when he realized that the punch would kill the boy but he didn’t care about the revelation. Luckily for the bully, Soma was nearby and managed to grab Zero’s hand before the hit could land.
Although Zero’s attack was stopped the resulting blow create a massive amount of wind blowing back the students in the vicinity. The wind and dust settled the student were all floating in the air unconscious and Yoko flew down in her true form before transforming into her human form. Mina also flew down in angel form and looked to see if the student needed healing.

“Are you okay? What happened? I’ve never seen you lose your cool like that.” asked Soma as he looked into Zero’s eyes and held onto his wrist
Zero said nothing for a while as he pulled his arm back and then finally said, “Yeah I’m okay and I apologized for this. Thank you for stopping me I really lost my head back there.”
Soma let a sigh of relief and patted Zero on the shoulder. He then looked around and said, “Let’s clean up this mess quickly before we have to deal with more people.”
Nodding Zero walked over to the unconscious students and proceeded to wipe their memories of the previous event and replace it with something normal. Zero looked down at the student who started the whole fiasco and was reaching down to deal with the student's memory when he heard, ‘I don’t know what he did to anger you but I can feel it through our soul link. I know you plan to get revenge so just make sure you don’t kill him,’ echoing in his mind. Zero looked over towards Yoko who had her back turned and smiled as a small shadow separated from his and latched on the student’s shadow.
When they finished cleaning up Zero invited both Soma and Mina to attend the meeting with Hikaru and the others. Yoko bid them farewell as Hel was waiting for her at the school gate to take her to continue her research. Although Zero and the other could easily teleport to the hotel they liked to walk and talk as they did in the old days so they did just that.
Arriving at the hotel lobby a staff member approached the group and informed them that Hikaru and the others were waiting for them in the penthouse suite. When arrived at Hikaru’s door Zero knocked and who greeted by Hammer who opened the door.
“Well if it isn’t my best student and my best customer. It’s also a pleasure to see you again young miss. How have you all been?” said Hammer
“Hello, Mr. Hammer it's been a while. We’ve been doing good. How are you?” replied Mina
While Hammer, Mina, and Soma kept exchanging pleasantries at the door Zero walked past Hammer and enter the room. He found Hikaru and Julius sitting at the dining table waiting for them to join. Zero nodded at Julius before walking over and taking a seat as they waited for the others. A few moments later Hammer and the other 2 joined them at the table and the meeting could finally begin.
“Thank you for me here. I summoned you all here because Zero wished to inform us about something and I wanted to touch base with you all since I rarely get the chance to do so. Let’s have Julius start with his report.” said Hikaru starting the meeting
“Okay as you all know since discovering the hidden city I’ve been under Miss Hikaru’s orders to travel to certain parts of the world to investigate rumors of vampires. I’ve managed to discover 3 vampire communities. 2 of the 3 communities maintain a neutral stance with humans opting only to capture a few at a time and drain their blood before erasing the human’s memories of the event as they’re returned. As for the remaining community, they held a hostile stance and are responsible for many deaths so as directed I meet with them and talk with them. I hoped to negotiate with them to longer harm humans but they attacked so I was forced to purge them.” explained Julius
