Arc 1 Chapter 1.2 ( Sealed School of Demons )

It is now the turn of the classmate besides Zone . The lazy man slowly stood up and put his hand on the pocket .

A soft low voice resonated as the man weakly introduced himself . " Jiro Takahashi , 17 . I was taught Jujutso , Kendo , Aikido and Judo at a very young age . Feel free to challenge me to a duel at any time . "

The students gaze towards the young man instantly became vigilant . Although , almost all of them were taught Martial arts by the school . A man with a confidence like that had to be strong .

Don't underestimate the martial arts styles taught to Jiro , One of the martial arts style is the best for defense .   Zone admired Jiro silently , but still ... Jiro is a potential enemy so he didn't curry favor immediately .

Sir Ian then started the lecture . The subject he teaches is Chemistry . As students of the Demon School , they were smarter than ordinary students . 

Competitions in this school is intense between these smart students . But side these smart ones , there are a strong ones who would kill without batting an eye .

At lunch , Zone went back to his dorm room and buried his head again on the pillow . No one knows how scared and panick he was . Knowing that he suddenly possessed a foreign body that looks 80 percent exactly like him , moreover he's in a place full of thorns and knives . Who would want to stay in this place? Zone would never think of escaping as he already saw the fate of those who tried escaping from this place .

About why Zone was currently trembling . It's because he remembered that every 12 o'clock midnight . Killing would be allowed and the teachers wouldn't bat an eyelid on it . He doesn't want to be assassinated while sleeping peacefully!

" Oh my goddess , please send me back to my peaceful world . I don't wanna stay here. " Zone cried and hit his bed in frustration .

He washed his face and stared at the mirror . The only way for him to survive is to become desperate and fearless . But who doesn't know that he's soft and gentle in his previous world? Everyone knows how kind hearted he was .

His hands trembled at the thought of killing his own fellow human . He was destined to kill someone here , after all there's an elimination monthly . He have to strive to become stronger and climb the top , or even to just hug someone powerful and be protected it's already enough .

Inhaling deeply , he hypnotized himself that he's a crazy mad ruthless student . He's a villain who has a scheming and calculative mind .

But then , his perfectly calm expression turned sour as tears poured out from his eyes . " I can't , i-i can't "

Zone shook his head fiercely . He's afraid , he's afraid of fighting someone , getting beaten , or even tortured by some psychos .

Zone started punching the ground as he vented himself to get rid of his fear .

" Ah!!! Please! I want to come back , I don't want it here . "

" Waaa!! I'm scared!!! Mamaaa "

After screaming his inner feelings out . He then change his expression again . If a doctor witnessed this scene , he will doubt wether Zone's really bipolar or not . His expression easily change as if he has dozens of mask being worn .

He stared at himself in the mirror his red eyes shining . He smiled " I'm a ruthless psycho , i can kill someone easily . That's right , aren't i already abnormal from my previous life? I can just immitate my dreams , as long as i show them how strong i am . I will survive . "

His thoughts flew , he planned on honing his skills on martial arts . He planned on becoming stronger , although he's cared of hitting someone . It will be the end for him if he died because of morality . Every individual here is not a good person , they are demons . That's why this place is called Sealed School Of Demons .

Zone gulp , he wished e could be a cold blooded person or a person with no emotions . If he is cold blooded , he wouldn't feel fear anymore .

But sadly , he grow up normal and didn't experience difficulty aside from his nightmares filled with bloody scenes . As he grow up , he already grow accustomed to it , but experiencing it in real life where his life's in danger . Who wouldn't feel panicked? Dreaming those bloody scenes would be just considered as dark movies and fictions . Who wouldn't expect that he would someday transmigrate unto one of the parallel world where his dreams are set up?

Zone suddenly felt a burst of anger . " Just who put me in this world? Hah! I don't have any debts with you , you *****!!!!! [ Beep] [ beep] "

The door suddenly knocked , Zone paused and exited the bathroom before opening the door .

" ... "

Zone blink and stared at the curly haired blue eyed young man in front of him . He even doubted wether Jiro is an Asian-american . He has a facial feature of an asian , but his eyes were blue . Even Zone himself have red eyes which is strange for him , he thought that maybe it's because the world he's staying isn't a normal world where normal eye colors are Black , Blue , or brown .

" Jiro? "

Jiro with his baggage looked at the red eyed teenager standing at the doorstep . He looked down at his keys with a label of R 3-07 .

" R 3-07? "

Zone looked up and saw that his dorm room was R 3-07 . He looked again at Jiro and saw the key within his hand .

" Dormmate? "

Jiro nodded ." Yeah "

Zone slowly opened the door wider with a dazed look .

" I didn't expect to welcome my dormmate this quick . "

Jiro didn't answer and just drag his baggage inside .

The bell rang as Zone and Jiro exited the dorm and went back to the classroom . They readied their weapons immediately and changed their clothes .

The girls went out to change their clothes while the boys stayed at the classroom and change without shame . Zone also didn't mind and took off his shirt , his pale skin was immediately revealed . His well hidden abs showed , when he crouched down to tie the knots on his shoe . His abdomen tightened as the defined abs made an appearance . His collarbone deepened as he arc his back .

Some students accidentally saw Zone's body and their eyebrows immediately raised in silent admiration . They then thought immediately that despite how some students looked thin , they are still muscles and abs well hidden within their clothes .

Zone was oblivious at the stares he was getting from his male classmates . As he started stripping his pants .

The red haired man who was staring at Zone from the very beginning turned his back in shame . He looked indifferent , but his red ears betrayed his hidden thoughts .

Zone paused and touched his leg . Only then did he realized how his current body looked small and petite to the point of it looking feminine . His original body wasn't this feminine looking though . Zone felt unsatisfied . He thought of tanning his skin in the future , it looked too pale as if he has a vitamin D deficiency .

Zone change to his P.E uniform and followed his classmates to the Training Area .

The whole section Amethyst gathered and started stretching silently . There's no instructor since they were already used to it .

They then minded their own business with their body training . Zone decided to enter a private room and train by himself .

He then took a card from the reception lady to rent a private room . Fortunately , the original owner of this body had gathered enough money from the duels these few years for him to afford renting the private room .

Although his current body looked thin and weak , it's actually stronger than his original body which made Zone feel ashamed for his body which was probably buried somewhere in the universe or in coma in some hospital .

He closed his eyes , thinking that maybe he could retain some of the muscle memory of the original . He can't stay here without self defense skill .

In the next 3 weeks , the Monthly Elimination will again happen and if his rank lowered . He will surely be targeted when the school issues a survival quest for the students .

Slowly breathing in , Zone took a stance which he thinks is the proper posture . He often saw this in his dream and imitated the movements according to his memory . Although he lacked understanding as to why he had to take this proper posture , he still followed and punch out with a powerful force towards the sand bag .

* Blag!!!

The sand moved forward from the force he exerted . Staring at his red knuckles , Zone bit his lips restraining the tears about to burst from his eyes .

He arc his back immediately and groaned silently . " [Beep] it hurts like [beep] "

He realizes that this is when he had spit a lot of profanities in one day . In his whole life , he had never cursed as often as now .

" Mama " He whispered and groaned from the pain .

Zone sniffed and pouted . " How come it hurts so much! "

He glared at the sand bag as if the sand bag had offended him .

" I hate you! "

Only then the teenager with a petite body started venting his anger on the sand bag .

The sad bag ' --- , when had i offended this young master '

After Zone get used to the feeling of punching , he suddenly felt itchy and wanted to punch the sand bag again and again .

As time passed by , Zone would change his posture as if he realized that his position was wrong . He kept on closing his eyes to reference his postures to his memory and change his posture again .

Somehow , Zone felt confidence budding from his heart as he started kicking the sand bag faster and faster , alternating from left to right turning to punch and kick again and again until he felt muscle soreness. 

Raising his leg up high , his body leaned to side to position his leg up higher . Then he turned his hip to deliver an explosive kick to the left side of the sand bag at the part where Zone imagine it to be the neck and jaw of his enemy .

The sound of impact resonated as the surface of sand bag folded from the force .

Patting his foot on the ground , Zone's lips twitch from pain .

" Although the original's mind might be used to the pain , it's not the same for me who never experienced getting hit . "

Zone sighed and sat down to catch his breathe . His white t shirt is now drench in sweat as it now started getting transparent , and his skin could seen through the layer of clothe .

Zone took his t shirt shirt of and layed down . He then inserted his feet on a metal and started doing sit ups with the metal bar holding his feet on the ground as a partner .

He trained with perseverance until 5 pm . The training session ended as all the students run back to their dorm .

Zone also felt his heart beating fast . After he closed the door , he swept his gaze to confirm wether Jiro is around before slumping on the ground when he's not .

He inhaled and exhaled quickly to catch his breathe . "Shit , the demons are going to hunt in this time.  What should i do? "

" Lock the door? No everyone must have been taught lock picking. Hide under the bed? But i would be suffocated . "

Late at night , A man wearing an all black opened the door to his dorm room and entered . Then he saw Zone standing in front of the mirror .

" Sorry sir but i want to buy a train ticket to City K "

Then the teenager suddenly turned silent . He blink and his brows slowly met.  " What do you mean by I don't have a permission to buy one when i can afford to do so? "

" What? My account's balance is zero? T-then how am i supposed to buy it . "

Zone's breathing became short as he started to panick . " S-sir , i clearly just read that i still have balance on my account . W-why did it turned zero? "

His corner of his eyes turned red as he teared up . " C-can you help me sir? I-i just want to buy a train ticket to City K- wait sir please don't ignore me.  "

As if someone suddenly pushed him , Zone fell down on the ground with an impact.  The boy looked pitiful as he but his lip to restrain his emotions .

" Is it because my mark's color is brown? What about it? I worked hard earning my money , why can somebody easily steal it as if it's not a crime to do so? "

His brows met as his throat tightened from the heavy emotions he is currently feeling .His eyes narrowed as tears poured out . He hurriedly wiped it off as he hung his head down depressed with a clenched fist .

He slowly stood up and lifted his hand to stop someone .

" M-miss please stare at my eyes for at least 3 seconds . "

Then suddenly the speaker beside him turned on and a sound of scream resounded .

" Aaaah!!! he stole my mark!!! He stole my purple mark!!!! "

The boy with red eyes suddenly smirked . " Hehe "

" Hehehe , aaaahahahaha "

Jiro remained standing watching the boy enjoying himself from acting a role of a madman . Jiro remembered this boy's introduction this early morning and wasn't thinking that Zone turned mad as he already concluded that the boy was practicing his acting skills .

He watched as the boy changed his expression quickly . The speaker turned on again and issued a challenge .

" An innocent victim who discovered his best friend was the killer ."

Then the boy suddenly stiffened as he stared at the mirror with moderate wide eyes . The corner of his eyes turned red as his eyes turned watery the corner of his upturned lips turned down as he stared in disbelief on the mirror . His eyes bent in sadness as his mouth opened faintly to catch his breathe .

" No "

" A psycho who saw his victim realizing he was the killer . "

The the eyes of the boy who was still in disbelief suddenly turned calm as the his lips raised in a creepy manner . His rabbit teeth and canine teeth peeked out as his lips closed covering the canine teeth who was peeking , his smile if could be stretched to his ear looked creepy as if he's really a legitimate psycho killer .

" Sadness "

He still remained standing watching the boy's expression turned sadness , to happy , to heartbroken , to surprise , to an expression of someone blushing , shyness .

Jiro sat down on the bed while his eyes locked on the young man . Then the sound of him sitting on the bed notified the boy of his presence .

Zone paused and turned his head to Jiro's direction .

" Uhh , have you been there for a long time? "

Jiro didn't shy away and nodded .

" Since when? "

" Mark Theft Scene? "

Zone blushed and immediately calmed down . " Well , i don't mind having someone to witness my acting skill . "

Somehow , Zone activated his talent of shamelessness . Jiro nodded . " Good skill "

Zone smiled and sat on the bed . " What's your review? Any critics? "

Jiro slowly shook his head . His low voice still as soft as before . " I am not an expert at acting , but i almost believe that you were indeed a psycho . It somehow sent me chills when you suddenly smiled creepily . "

" That's great . "

The pair of dormmate got along , their impression of each other wasn't bad .
