Chapter One: Introducing the Jerk
At the front gates of Yokai Academy, there's a boy dressed in the Yokai Academy uniform standing there with his bag over his shoulder in one hand and his other hand in his pants pocket. He is a bit taller than the average boy and has short spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. As he walks to school he thinks to himself, "Damn, this is a giant school. Why did Cerbero have to send me here of all places?" He looks up at the giant school once more and says, "Well, I guess I don't have any other choice." As he walks into the school and past the plain looking students, he thinks to himself, "Yokai Academy, a school built and designed to foster all kinds of monsters. Why do I have to deal with this place again? I could've easily just stayed in the Underworld and kept minding my own damn business." As he walks up the stairs to the second floor, he continues his thoughts, thinking, "I can already hear him lecturing me. 'Cooperation between other monster species is vital to blah blah blah'. Why do I need to learn how to be 'friends' with other people? I don't need anybody's help. I can deal with anything life throws at me!" As he walks through the hallway, he stops right in front of a door before pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket. As he looks at it, he sees the room numbers for the room in front of him matches the one for his first class. With a reluctant sigh, he stuffs the schedule back into his pocket. He opens the door to see the teacher standing at her chalkboard, drawing pictures in front of only five to six students. "Ah, another one! How wonderful! Please, come in! Come in! Take a seat. We'll get started once everyone gets here.", the teacher says as she motions for him to take a seat. He simply rolls his eyes before taking his seat near the middle of the room.
As time goes on and more students continue to trickle into the room and fill the vacant seats, the boy lays his head down and takes a nap in his free time. He only awakens when he hears the slam of the door shutting for the final time, which causes him to growl as he raises his head to see who made such a loud noise. He sees the teacher standing at the door with a sly smile on her face before propping up his head with one hand with his elbow on the table for leverage. She tells everyone how this school is special in the fact that it is a school made by monsters for monsters, but the boy simply ignores her, not caring for what she has to say. He looks around the room for something to entertain him, but the only interesting thing he sees is a boy near the window awkwardly twitching. As she goes on to explain the consequences of breaking the rules on school grounds, our ever so lovable jerk interrupts her by asking, "Why exactly are you telling us all of this?" She looks in her book to find his name and sees that it is Reiji Oni. She says, "Well , the rules say that I have to tell you all of this so you all know the school rules. We don't exactly hand out rule books like schools in the human world do, so you'll only get to hear this stuff once, okay?" After hearing this, Reiji puts his head down and ignores her. He begins to be able to completely tune out the teacher's voice, but before he can enjoy the moment, a large, muscular boy with black hair asks, "So, teacher, what should we do if we happen to find a human on school grounds?" She refers to her list of names again and sees his name is Saizo. "Well, Saizo, that's completely impossible here. You see, the school is completely enclosed by a powerful barrier designed to keep humans out, you see. And besides, even if a human did get past the barrier, they'd most definitely be killed before they'd make it to the actual school, so there's nothing for you to be worried about." Suddenly, the twitching boy by the window drops all his books, drawing everyone's attention. This only causes him to panic before quickly building a wall of books on his desk to keep the other students from seeing him. A grin comes across Saizo's face and he says, "I don't know about anyone else, but I've been smelling a human this whole time." Reiji, thoroughly annoyed at this point, sits up and says to Saizo, "You're probably smelling yourself you piece of sh-", but before he can finish his sentence, a girl with long pink hair walks into the room after quickly opening the door and apologizes for her tardiness. Everyone except for Reiji and the now fortified twitching boy comment on how beautiful she is and calling her 'Moka Akashiya' before she sees the twitching boy hiding behind his wall of books. She rushes over to him as she exclaims, "Tsukune! We're in the same class! What are the odds of that!?" When she's close enough, she leaps into his arms, hugging him while knocking over his wall of books.
