Black Room

The knights of the round table are gathered together by the order of their leader, Sullivan, the headmaster of their prestigious school and the dwelling of a being that can control space. “Why don’t all of you take a sit first before I say the reason why I have gathered you?” The Knights all seated in their respected seats by the order of their headmaster. Each seat has a corresponding number which was written in a roman numerical form.

Sullivan took a deep breath and smiled, not his usual smile that he uses when communicating with someone but the kind of smile of someone who found something that amuses him. “We have two new students with dwellers, who will be attending this school and the school outside. So I want for the Captain, the President of the Student Council and the Vice Captain, with his Disciplinary Committee to train them guys to train” Sullivan said in a cheerful voice. The Knights were dumbfounded because of that, not because of they found new two people who has dweller but because they were ordered that all of them will train them.

There are two kinds of government in their school: The Student Council, helps the school in managing, making decisions, and helping the students to grow. The Student Council are the second in command when it comes to making a decision. And the other one is the, Disciplinary Committee. The Disciplinary Committee are there to maintain peace, they are responsible for whenever there are disturbance and they are the first line of defence. That’s why they are dumbfounded when Sullivan said that all of them will train the both of them (Von and Jaze) because that kind of work falls under the Student Council.

“Woy! Wait a minute! What do you mean “by all of you”? If you want them to train then let the Student Council do that! We’re not some babysitters!” A red haired young man said in a loud voice. His eyes are sharp that looks like he’s always glaring. He has a scar on his right cheek that looks like it was slashed by some sort of sword. He wears a red hoodie and a tattered black pants that has some chains beside it and paired with a low cut converse sneakers.

“And what do you mean by that, Tristan Stark?” A blue haired young woman that tied in a ponytail with her eyes closed asked in a low voice with a hint of irritation. She wears a full white suit uniform and is holding a katana on her left hand.

“Woy! You know what I mean... Aldreda Galahad!” Tristan said mockingly and he laughed while looking at Aldreda. The other Knights could only sigh because this is nothing new to them anymore. The both of them will always start a fight every time they are together, especially right now since they also face each other because of their sitting arrangement.

Aldreda clicked her tongue and opened her left eye and glared at Tristan. When Tristan saw this he stood up and he smiled, a very wide angry smile. Aldreda took a stance but they were stopped when Sullivan snapped his finger to catch the attention of the Knights and this also made both Aldreda and Tristan to stop their fight. “Now, now, of course I’m going to explain the reason why I asked the all of to train them“ Tristan and Aldreda took a seat and then she also puts down her katana. Sullivan smiled and sipped a cup of tea and then started explaining “As all of you know there are different classes of dwellers and they are divided into three classes. The third classes are the: the monster type, fairy type, spirit type, and the human type. The second classes consists of: the heroes or demi-gods, the angels, and the demons. And then there’s the first class: the God type, which is my dweller, the God of Space, Aether. The other type of first class in which can rival the Gods, thy Mythology type.”

“Then what does that have to do with training them?” Marianne asked.

Sullivan looked at her and then he smiled, then looked at the ceiling, and returned his looks at his Knights. “I’ve found a mythology type, a Dragon dweller.” The Knights gasped when they heard this. “Woy! Are you sure it’s a Dragon!?” Sullivan can’t help but smile because even Tristan, who was said to be the bravest of them all were shocked. “Mrs. Eversky confirmed it with her own eyes.”

“You said before that there are two of them, don’t tell me that the other one is another mythology or maybe he has a God dweller just like you.” Sullivan softly laughed at the question of Marianne and to the looks of the other Knights waiting for the answer. “Sadly, no. Even with the eyes of Mrs. Eversky we can’t see his dweller.” The Knights sighed in relief but only for a short while because they realized that a dweller capable of hiding itself from the eyes of Mrs. Eversky is without a doubt a powerful being. “Now you’ve heard of my explanation, I want the all of you to train them and I’m not going to take no for an answer.”

While thinking deeply, Zemo suddenly remembered something “Wait, Sir. Sullivan”

“What is it Zemo? Do you have still have any problem?” “No. I just remembered something”

“And what is that?” “Well, there’s someone I just picked up and he also has a dweller because I found him almost on the verge of being of his dweller and I think Ms. Valentine is with him right now.” Picked up? Like a cat? Sullivan can’t help from thinking it. “Oh ho~ and? What is his name?” “Yes, I think it was Con?” Con? Sounds familiar Sullivan said in his thoughts “Hmm... did you mean Von?” “Ah! Yes! That’s it! And what was the name of his dweller again? I don’t clearly remember the name but he is one of the seven deadly sins, the sin of greed...” “Mammon” with a smile, he finished the sentence of Zemo. The other Knights felt a chill down their spine because they know how ruthless and powerful a demon can be, especially the seven deadly sins. “One of them is a Dragon type that can go head to head with a God type and the other is one of the seven deadly sins, one of strongest demons. Hahaha” Marianne laughed dryly because she knows that if they were not handled or trained properly, they can become their worst enemies. Sullivan clapped his hands and said the names of whom they will train “And on that note, now you know the dwellers of both of them. Jaze Mondragon, his dweller, a dragon. Von Ellis, his dweller, a demon.” Zemo stood up and saluted which the other Knights found it weird because he don’t really need to do that spoke “On behalf of the Disciplinary Committee, I, the leader of the Disciplinary Committee, voluntarily chooses Von Ellis to train him under the Disciplinary Committee.” That guy! He picked the easiest one to train! Thoughts of Marianne Arthur while he looked annoyed at the saluting Zemo. “Then I guess the Student Council will train Jaze.” Marianne sighed in defeat and agreed to it “Yes, Sir Sullivan.”

“And that concludes our meeting. Marianne, you came in here together with Zemo, right?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Do you know where they went?”

“Since Zemo said that Von was almost consumed by his dweller, I believe they are in the black room.”

The black room is a room that was made by a Japanese onmyoji that has the strongest onmyoji that have ever lived as its dweller, Abe no Seimei. The black room has the power to seal all classes of dwellers and their powers.

“Okay, thank you. I’ll get going now. Take care on your way back.”

“Yes, Sir Sullivan.” The Knights said in unison and all of them bowed their heads.

“Bye!” Sullivan said in a cheerful voice as he waved at his Knights and teleported out of the room. Zemo and the rest of his Disciplinary Committee are celebrating together because they got the least troublesome one unlike the Student Council. Yes, the Knights are divided into two groups, the Student Council and the Disciplinary Committee. Each group has a six members and all of them are the members of the Round table. But what the Disciplinary Committee didn’t know that they were the ones who got the short stick.

Sullivan teleported in front of a pitch black door that has a talisman that was written in blood. Valentine was also there that looks like she was waiting for her master to arrive. “Sorry to keep you waiting.” Valentine shook her head and smiled while slightly bowed her head “No, it’s alright.”

“Umu... is he awake?”

“No sir, he is still resting from soul fatigue.”

“That’s good then. Valentine, I want to see what exactly happened.”

“Got it, Sir Sullivan.”

“I’ll be moving him to a different room, I think the perfect place would be at the infirmary room since there’s also a lot of bed there, riiiggghhtt?”

“Yes, sir.”

Sullivan grinned “And also, bring me a sealing talisman, just in case his dweller meddles.”

Valentine nodded “Understood, Sir.”

Valentine brought out Von who was sound asleep using a wheelchair from the black room with a seal in his chest. Sullivan snapped his fingers and with that snap, they arrived at the infirmary and gently putted Von in one of the beds. Valentine has a human type dweller, a wizard and one of the companions of King Arthur, Merlin. “Merlin, manifestation.” With a soft voice, Valentine summoned Merlin. “Memoir replay” one of the spells of Valentine that she can use through the power of Merlin, the memoir replay. A spell that can see the memories of a certain person and be viewed to others like a television.

In there they saw Jin attacking Von, the destruction of the house, the taking over of Mammon, trampling and making a human flower out of Jin, and the arrival of Zemo. Both of them was silent throughout the viewing of the memories until Valentine broke out the silence with a question. “Does this mean that Mr. Jin, betrayed us?” Sullivan shrugged at the question of Valentine “I guess?” “But what is his reason of attacking Von? And why?”

“Hmm... Jin has a dweller of a trapper and one of the skill that he can use is a hearing trap.”

“So you mean that he was spying us during the time we were assimilating their dwellers?”

“Yes! And the reason why he attacked Von because we didn’t know what his dweller is like so he thought that he has a weak dweller, unlike Jaze which we immediately knew that his dweller is a dragon.”

“Then Jin is a Hunter.”

“That’s right. Those pesky hunters! They even managed to place a rat on our place. Hahahaha!”

“I’m going to capture him right now, sir!”

Sullivan stopped Valentine from running out “There’s no need for that, I’m pretty sure that he already escaped because he failed to kill Von.”

“But what if they attack them again, sir?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, because I asked all of the Knights to keep an eye on them and to train them. So don’t worry!” With a huge smile and a thumbs up Sullivan said those words to Valentine. Valentine sighed and nods “Understood, Sir Sullivan.”

Seriously, a dragon and now, one of the seven deadly sins, this days just keeps on getting better and better. Sullivan thought to himself and smiled with pure excitement. This master of mine is a really weird one. Said by Valentine while looking at her master who is wiggling with an excited expression on his face but she decided to keep it to herself.
