Ch.26

"I'm establishing a guild. Do you guys wanna join?"

Infinity and his students were in their club room. Infinity sat down next to the board as his students looked at him.

"Why? I heard you like going solo."

Sarah asked him, making his grin even bigger. 'Yes... Yes...ask me more questions..'

"Because of you guys actually. I figured that this is the easiest way of going inside dungeons together. Well that and the fact that everyone else is telling their students to join them."

"Oh, I see. If only you were doing this then I would have considered you smart. Guess your just someone who follows other people's idea.."

Infinity grabbed his chest like he was having heart problems.

"Ouch, that burns. Well anyways,..."

He swerved off the topic to change it into something more important.

"Tommorow is the day you all start school with the other participants. Isn't that exciting?!"

The 4 students stared at the man. Seeing his dead crowd, he continued.

"The school will be on an island in the middle of the ocean. The island is huge enough to make a city and thats what we plan on doing. We'll have food stores, entertainment activities and other stuff as well. You will all be given the option of choosing to sleep there, meaning you could stay in the dorms we provide or sleep at home. Or both. Now you may be thinking, 'Well, how would we get off the island if it's in the middle of the ocean?' Well kids, teleportation is a thing in this day and age. We'll have teleporters stationed around the island and you'll be able to use them to go back to the Maine land. More information will be provided on the island tommorow."

His students were already doing their own things. 'One day.. imma have it one day...' While they respect him in some aspect like an S rank, him being a teacher was barely one of them.

"Aw look at them. So cute.."

Sarah stared at Lucifer and Daemon. They were each on their phones while scrolling through things. The cute part was them having their hands intertwined.

"So...they're dating officially? I'm too late.."

Acier sighed as she put her her chin on the table. 'I could still have a chance though. Maybe if I ask him now..' As she was thinking that, Daemon showed Lucifer something on his phone, making his face red.

"Your such a weirdo.."

He slightly laughed while going to his camera roll. After he scrolled for a bit, he found a photo and showed Daemon.

"No..way.."

What Daemon showed Lucifer was a bunny costume. What Lucifer was showing him was him in one.

"When did you?.."

"A secret.."

Lucifer patted his head while smiling. 'Nah, but when did he though? I'm actually confused..' Lucifers and Daemons relationship... Well let's just say they aren't friends anymore but more. The two were so close now that they put their beds together and sleep like that.

They haven't had any problems with their relationship. People actually support it as it's rare to see and they want to appreciate it while it last.

"Is this all for today?"

Daemon got up, followed by Lucifer. Hearing his student question, he became happy. Happy because they finally spoke to him since the whole hour they've been there.

"Yes. Just make sure you're ready tommorow. Bring your bookbag, wear your uniforms, and have a smile."

"Alright. See you tomorrow then Acier. Sarah."

They waved at them as they walked out the door. They waved back with smiles on their faces. Lucifer and Daemon then proceeded to walk down the long hallway.

"So what are we going to do? Stay at the dorm on the island or stay here?"

"Stay here of course. I don't really see any merit in staying on the island."

"Well, we get a good view of the ocean. That's good right?"

"A good view huh?.."

Daemon went into thought. 'Me and Lily have always lived under that roof. We never go out much and pretty much are couch potatoes. On the island though, there will be all sorts of attractions and stores. Maybe a change of scenery is what we need...'

Daemon also thought it would be good for Lilys well being to explore more.

"Maybe I will..."

"Hm? Why the sudden switch?"

"It'll be a nice change. Well that and I think Lily wants to go.."

Lucifer chuckled at that as they both came outside. They saw students talking while kicking balls around. 'People are so lively now..'

The students knew that the chosen students were leaving. This gives them more opportunity to shine themselves, making them like this.

Lucifer and Daemon then caught a ride on a bus and went home for the day.

....

"...."

"Hm? Oh, yeah. I might stay."

Daemon and Sebastian were inside Subway eating. Daemon came to pick up food and bumped into him here. They decided to talk and Daemon would just make an excuse for being late.

"What about you? Are you staying?"

"~...."

"Don't...communicate with your mouth full."

"..."

"No, it's fine. So, you are staying?"

"...."

"What about your cousin? Will he be left alone?"

"....."

"Oh, how nice of them.."

He told Daemon that he asked if he could bring him along and they said yes. 'The more..the merrier...' Is what they told him.

"..."

"W-What? They probably won't allow that.."

Daemon sighed as he heard Sebastians words. 'Do you think they'll let you and Lucifer sleep in the same room?' is what he said.

"..."

"Yeah, they might. 2 guys sleeping in the same room isn't uncommon. They'd probably say something if it was with a girl, and I think Lucifer would be able to fool them with his looks.."

".... ...."

"Your right.."

Daemon grabbed a napkin and rubbed it over his hand. The two then talked some more about things like problems and life in general. Turns out, Sebastian was the poetic type. He had dreams and believed he could do anything if you really try too.

"...."

"What do I plan to do?"

"...."

"Surive this War, and Live a peaceful life."(Though, there will come a time when the truths out..)

"... ...."

Sebastian looked down at his food. 'What's wrong with him?' Daemon became confused at why his mood changed so fast.

"...."

"Do I think you could survive? Yeah? Why do you...ask that?"

"..."

Daemon slowly started to understand. 'He thinks that because his magic power is so low, he'll be left behind in War. He thinks that he might even die.'

"Don't beat youself up, Sebastian. I can already see that they'll use your Magic for high ranking Monsters. You might even be our secret weapon.."

Some monsters could detect the magic power that one has. If Sebastian were to confront a boss that can detect magic, the boss would underestimate him. That'll give Sebastian the perfect chance to use his destructive powers and kill the monster.

"...?..."

"It doesn't sound found being a weapon, yeah, but that'll make you useful right?"

"...."

"Its fine, its fine. If they do anything to you, then I'll use my authority."

Daemon then placed a cookie next to his sandwich and got up. He gather his trash and smiled.

"Even if they use you as a weapon, embrace that. Just go with 'I'm doing this for you, little cousin..' as your drive.."

Daemon threw his food away and left, completely forgetting to get his sister and Lucifer a sub.

'Think of him as drive huh?..'

Sebastian picked the cookie up and took a bit out of it.

'I've been doing that.'

....

"I...want you to become his friend. And when the time is right, when he has your complete trust, take him and bring him back to us. Is that clear?"

"Yes Father. I won't disappoint."

"I know you won't."

....

"Eh? You don't mind...if we stay Daemon?"

Daemon was back home now and was sitting on the couch with Lily and Lucifer. They were watching an old anime called One Piece. It already ended with 1980 episodes and the one piece, being 'Freindship.'

The fans never forgave the creator for lying. Something about, 'You all came up with the correct theories so I had to keep changing it around. This...is what I came up with..'

'He should have ended it when he killed his friends' was Daemon thoughts on the matter.

"Yep. The island means that the war between Man and Monster bears closer. A new beginning. Shouldn't we leave here for that?"

"Mh..."

Lily leaned against her brother. While she did want to go to the island and she did want to stay, hearing confirmation from her brother made her realize how much she would miss the house.

From making fortresses to beating Daemon in every game they played, the memories in the walls that surrounded them were deeply rooted in her heart.

"We can always come back. Like on the weekends, we can come stay here and relax."

Daemon placed his arm around his sister and played in her soft hair. 'If you don't want to, then it's fine. I'll do what you want..' Lily then looked up at him.

"I.."

Daemon and Lucifer were anxious for her answer. The anticipation was killing them as Lily came to a finaly decision.

"I want to go."

She smiled, causing the two to smile as well. 'It'll be hard for her, no, for us, to leave behind this place of memories but we can always...come back..'

"Your growing up on me too fast Lily. Making decisions like this isn't like you."

Daemon said is a teasing voice while pinching her cheek.

"Well, I have too, big brother. If I want to save lives and risk my own, I'll have to start growing up."

"Yeah, I get it. Just don't...just don't grow up too fast. You'll miss out on important things if you do."

"I get it, Daemon. I'll always be your little sister!"

She then kissed Daemon on his cheek and got up.

"I have to go pack a few more things! Bye bye!"

She waved at them and they waved back as she ran up the stairs and into her room. 'I should tell Mom and Dad. I wonder what their reaction would be like..'

"Daemon. Wanna a bite?"

Lucifer offed Daemon a piece of his cookie. Daemon would of course accept this as he gave his to Sebastian.

"Yeah, thanks.."

Lucifer nodded and Daemon slightly opened his mouth with his eyes closed. Lucifer smiled at that and leaned in, making the next scene end the chapter.
