"Question Amari?"
A well manicured hand from the front roll of the classroom descended to fold neatly with its companion atop the smooth wooden surface of a desk, "So what you're saying is that this... This disease came out of nowhere and it just affected demons?" A thoughtful look crossed the brunette's brown eyes, "but why?"
Professor Higurashi pushed glasses adorning a slight heart shaped face a little higher up her nose bridge and sighed with a smile.
"It is still unclear, Amari, why it only affected demons. Many expectations exist, but not a definite one," folding her arms and leaning back on her desk, the professor continued, "now, it was not a disease, but a virus. A mutated form of rabies that attacked a demon's central nervous system, and causing them to turn extremely violent and dangerous."
Silence filled the classroom, as students took hasty notes on their notebooks.
"In response, reiki wielders gathered to find some type of antidote," Professor Higurashi looked around her classroom, inwardly smiling at the enthralled looks on her student's faces.
"What they found was not an antidote-but a solution...of forms," opening a drawer on the oak desk behind her, the professor pulled out a zip lock plastic bag and a smooth silver band.
"This," she said passing the zip lock baggie to one of the front row students, "was their solution."
Handing the silver band to another student to look at, she continued, "both were created to subdue those of demon blood. At the time, these chips were shot into demons with the aid of tranquilizer guns and the band placed on their necks. Today, as you all know, the microchips are much smaller and are injected into every demon the moment it is born."
Students studied both objects before passing it to the next student.
"At the time, the microchip was used to keep track of the virus, as the carriers of the chips would be easily tracked via radar, and the bands would subdue demonic abilities, rendering demons almost as defenseless as humans."
"Of course, once the epidemic was over, non-reiki users decided that demons were too powerful to be taken off both these contraptions, " Professor Higurashi explained, holding up the plastic bag and silver band, the distaste for both objects clear in her posture.
"And instead of releasing demons from their binds, the collar was altered to force obedience on top of subduing the wearer, and the chip was updated to contain individual's information and provide GPS tracking..." The professor's lips tightened and she let out a deep breath.
"And that, students, is how demon slavery began."
