"Who are you?" A girl, 19 years old, stood staring at a strangely dressed stranger, feet shoulder width apart, preparing to attack if need be. Her light blue hair had fallen out of her tight braid while she had fought. She was not happy, the stranger had interrupted her fight.
"I am Mephisto Phelps. I'm the headmaster at True Cross Academy. I've been watching you. You fight very well, and you're extremely intelligent. I'd like to offer you a scholarship to the Academy." He was staring at her expectantly, blocking her only exit. Her bright blue eyes sparkled angrily.
"I don't want to go to any dumb school. I'm better off living my way."
"Oh, well, I might add that it is in fact a school for exorcists."
"Exorcists? What the hell are you talking about you damn clown?" Mephisto laughed.
"Exorcists. The people with the power to fight and destroy demons. Something you'd be good at Kyoko." Kyoko blinked at his knowing her name, but snorted anyway.
"There's no such things as demons and I refuse to believe in such childish things!" She advanced towards Mephisto, intended to shove him aside and escape. Mephisto grabbed her arm. She flinched. One of the guys she had been fighting had scratched her there.
"You'll be able to see them soon..." Mephisto looked at the cut. Kyoko wrenched her arm out of his grasp and shoved him aside, heading home. She didn't look back.
"So, Kyoko, you believe us to be myths? You have quite a way to go..." Mephisto muttered after her.
