A raven haired man stood at the front of his class, his crimson eyes focused on a single boy. Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis lived through the 19th century, and were now in the 21st. Ciel was attending an ordinary high school as a ninth grader, and his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, was the teacher of the class. Sebastian's gaze retreated from his master and began looking over the entire class, pacing back and forth.
"Hello, my name is Sebastian Michaelis. You can call me Mr. Michaelis, if you'd like. Which means, you will. Now, I know it's your first day, so I'll go quite easy on you," the teacher spoke. Suddenly, he pulled a pointer stick out of nowhere and slammed it on one of the students' desks. "But- If any of you would like to cause unnecessary problems… Well, I suggest you don't."
The student's eyes widened and he jumped in his seat. The rest of the class looked up, surprised, along with Ciel Phantomhive. Sebastian simply gave his trademark smile and backed up to his desk. He cleared his throat, setting the pointer on the blackboard tray.
"Now, any questions?" he asked, calmly. One girl, sitting in the back, raised her hand ever so slightly. Her blue eyes were confident, and just a little bit shy.
"Ah, yes. What's your name?" Sebastian smiled at her.
"I'm Anna. I just wanted to know when we were starting the actual class," the girl smiled back.
"Tomorrow is when review begins. Thank you for asking, Anna."
The first few weeks ran smoothly, until one day...
"Hey, where do you think you're going?!" An eleventh grade young man stood in front of an eighth grader.
"I… I was just going to class?" the victim whimpered.
"Oh, are you, now? I don't think so!" The older man grabbed the victim's sleeve and pulled him into one of the schools many alleyways. The victim's eyes suddenly widened in fear and surprise, but it wasn't because of the bully.
"Now, we can't have this, can we?" Sebastian's voice was calm and mature, but slightly mocking. The bully quickly turned around, seeing Sebastian with glowing red eyes and a knowing smile. He staggered backwards in fear. Both of the students nearly tripped over themselves to escape their anything-but-ordinary teacher.
Sebastian's smile slowly transformed into a frown.
"My, my, Sebastian. It seems you're intimidation levels have only risen since we last met," an all-too-familiar voice appeared somewhere at the top of the building.
Sebastian looked up, his eyebrow twitching. "Lau… Now, how did a mere human manage to survive all these years?"
"I'm at one with my chii, Mr. Michaelis. Life likes to have me as company."
"Of course…"
"Mr. Michaelis, you may like to go to the cafeteria. I heard it was taco Tuesday."
"It's Thursday, Lau."
"?"
"Never mind…" Sebastian walked out of the alley and back into his classroom. He wrote something on the board in neat cursive.
INTRODUCTIONS
A little bit later, all of the class was back into the room, staring up at the board.
"Now, class. As you see, we will be having introductions in a few moments. First of all, I am Mr. Michaelis, as you all know. I like cats and I dislike spiders. The way we're doing this is you politely state your name, one thing you like, and one thing you dislike. You may also include extra information, if you wish. Now, let's begin." Sebastian gave his trademark smile, pointing at Ciel.
"My name is Ciel Phantomhive. I like… I like… cake?" Ciel stuttered. The rest of the class burst into laughter. Sebastian frowned and clapped once, silencing everyone. Ciel continued. "And I dislike… fire…" Nobody in the class knew that Ciel's parents were dead, much less that a fire had caused it.
"Fire? Wow, what a wuss!" one male student exclaimed. The rest of the class burst into laughter once again. Ciel, angered, stood and turned, facing the student directly.
"My mother and my father- They died in a fire. A fire took my home twice. Fire is the very reason that I'm here! If I could've died then, with them, I would've! So shut your mouth and think a little before you go spitting out insults! Do you actually think that you have any real friends if you don't even have your own mind!?" Ciel yelled at him, before grabbing his backpack and running out of the room. One of the girls, Taylor, stood up and followed after him.
"I'll try to see if I can calm him down," she said, closing the door behind her. Sebastian frowned, narrowing his eyes at the young man who insulted his master.
"I didn't know, sir!" the man exclaimed.
"What is your name?" Sebastian said coldly.
"I… I'm Tanner…"
"Well, Tanner. You better straighten up before I put you in a different class. Not only did you insult one of my students, you insulted my master. I don't exactly appreciate that." Sebastian walked out of the room. The student from before, Anna, watched him as he left.
