Reina discretely slides her phone out of her pocket to avoid awkward conversations with Mephisto. Earlier, Mephisto explained to her what school life will be like having to juggle regular high school classes and cram school, where she will be taught about exorcism. Reina, unlike most her age, knew quite a lot about what exorcists do. Her guardian, Ezekiel taught her everything she needed to know but never enrolled her in formal classes.

As Reina is bringing out her phone, she makes eye contact with Mephisto to make sure he's not noticing while she's taking it out. He looks at her and smirks.

"You're awfully quiet."

"Well, what am I suppose to do during this long, not to mention painfully awkward, ride to your academy?"

"Make conversations, obviously~. I thought you wanted to know something about your father." Reina just rolled her eyes at the mention of her father. What doesn't she know about her father?

Reina just huffed and leant back against her seat while crossing her arms. "I don't need to learn anything. I know enough."

"I heard that he hasn't seen you in two years." Her godfather talks to her more than her own father and they are both always working together.

"Yes...and?"

"Why is that~?"

Reina grumbled incoherently under her breath not liking the idea of small talk with the demon but responded with sarcasm.

"I didn't know you were in love with my father. He used to talked about you all the time and how much he adores you."

"It's more one-sided on his part~."

"Hilarious..."

"Has anyone ever told how much you look like your father?"

Reina rolled her eyes once again at the thought on how many people would compare her to her father daily. "All the time, Samael, all the time."

The sound of that name irked Mephisto out and shuddered. "Don't call me that, you sound like my father."

Reina's eyebrows rose in surprise. That was the first time she had been compared to Satan and the first time he said something about himself.

"I'll call you whatever I want...Loki."

"Moving on~!" Mephisto clapped his hands together and looked at the sunny-haired girl, "Since you will be attending this school, are you thinking of changing your last name perhaps?"

Reina, all her life, had different last names when attending school, therefore, this one would not be so different.

"That is correct. I'm thinking changing my last name to a Japanese one." Reina is a quarter Japanese so it would not be too hard to lie to other people about her ethnicity.

"You know, you don't have to change your last name~."

'This demon always has something say.' Reina thought bitterly.

"You know, you're being annoying. My decision is final. I'm changing my last name to Yukimura."

"Snow village? Why that name?"

"You ask a lot of questions." Reina bluntly stated with a straight face.

"Just trying to make a conversation."

"It's just the last name of one of my favourite character's on a TV show."

"Well then, Reina Yukimura...welcome to True Cross Academy."

Room 1106. It would have been nice if Mephisto showed her around the school especially since it is not even the first day of school here. Overall, the academy was refined. It is a school suitable for students with high upbringings. Reina was currently walking around the area pretending like she was not lost. Through the crowd of students, she noticed a familiar-looking white Scottish terrier with a large pink bow with polka dots adorning its neck. Reina, being a huge animal lover that she was, delicately whizzed around the throng of bodies until she stopped in front of the dog.

"Aww, you're so cute." Reina cooed as she picked the dog up hugging it to her chest.

"Thank you but do you mind putting me down?" A certain demon's voice but a bit higher emanated from the animal. Mephisto. Reina glanced down at him and saw a silver trinket which was the symbol of being an exorcist. The irony of demons being exorcists even though it was created by a demon. More specifically Sir Mephisto Pheles.

A golden key appeared in his mouth and he said, "Also take this key. This key will allow you to access the school of exorcism from any door at any time."

Reina took the magic key from him and looked at it before placing it into her pocket. She sighed and ruffled her copious amounts of loose curly blonde hair and looked down at Mephisto in his dog form. "Mind giving me the details on how am I going to become an exorcist again?"

Mephisto marched in front of her and Reina reluctantly followed the demon knowing he might lead her to her destination. "You will be attending an exorcist cram school essentially. You will begin as a page, learning the art of exorcism. Since I decided to be nice and let you skip regular classes today, you better keep your grades up since you're on a scholarship here."

Reina inwardly groaned. She hates school but she was good at it only for the subjects she liked. She knew that she would get really high marks in cram school because she's actually interested in it and it'll always be her first priority before regular schoolwork. She was glad that Mephisto let her skip regular classes for today.

"Make sure you don't tell anyone and I mean anyone that I'm related to you-know-how."

"Voldemort~?" Normally Reina would laugh but she was actually serious and surprised that he even knew Harry Potter.

"Very funny but you know what I mean." Reina looked at down and sent the Scottish terrier a pointed look resisting the urge to pick it up and cuddle with it.

"Your wish is my command~." After a few minutes of walking, they both appeared at a bridge. "Go ahead, jump." Reina looked at the dog as if it grew a second head which could be possible none the less looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Are you freaking insane?! I'm wearing a skirt, dammit," Reina growled staring down at the dog angrily.

"Relax, I will not look at your panties~." Reina shuddered at the way he said the word 'panties'. She took a deep breath, he's going to see them one way or another and jumped down from the bridge.

Mephisto followed her afterwards. Reina stopped to see a set of fern green double doors which required a key to get in.

"Now try opening the door with the key I gave you." Reina took the key out of her pocket and hesitatingly unlocked the door. She slowly went inside until she was pushed by Mephisto behind her and shot him a glare before looking inside.

Reina gaped at the interior of it. The ceiling and the hallways looked like it went on forever. The entire corridor was filled with bright colours consisting of reds, greens, yellows, oranges, etc. There were large obsidian black pillars separating the doors from the different classrooms in the cram school. Reina felt she was in another world and just stood there admiring everything.

"Come along, the instructor is expecting you. In fact, there's also another student joining the class as well." They walked until they reached room 1106. The door looked identical to the other doors around it. Reina started to think about how exactly did her entire life lead up to this very moment right here.

Reina turned and looked down at the Scottish terrier expecting him to say something.

'Do something you damn demon.'

"Oh yes, I will be sitting with you in class today in case if anything goes wrong~. Now go inside."

'Great, hopefully, no one questions as to why I happen to bring a dog with me in class. I hope I won't have to interact with anyone period. Okay maybe not, that's being way too antisocial.'

"I hope your Japanese is adequate. I wouldn't want anyone making fun of a silly accent you might have~."

'Is he implying that I have a weird accent?' Reina's eye twitched slightly at the thought.

Reina scoffed and crossed her arms, "Tch, my speaking skills are fine. I might need to brush up on my writing, though." She mentally cringed at thinking about the long hours she might have to stay up all night considering Japanese is not a language skill she uses very often only when she's watching anime.

Reina started to get skittish all of a sudden not wanting to go inside. She gulped until Mephisto jumped into her arms which freaked her out even more. She decided against it to patronise Mephisto knowing it won't do anything. She took a deep breath, rolled her shoulders back and down and held her head high wanting to walk in confidently.

She held Mephisto in one arm, which was weird considering he's the headmaster and he normally does not look like this, nonetheless Reina latched onto the golden door handle with her other hand and pushed it open.

The classroom looked absolutely rubbish compared to the academy. The walls were a tea green colour which looked like they were blackened with soot and there were cracks everywhere. There were a set of windows on the top far right of the wall and one of them had a piece of paper over it held up with tape. A couple of the glass cabinets at the back of the classroom were shattered. There were boxes everywhere with stuff sticking out of it making the place look sloppy and the posters on the walls were ripped and obscured.

All eyes were on her. Some of them seemed familiar to Reina. There were two girls next to each other. One of them had dark purple hair and red eyes. Her hair was in a Hime cut and she had twin ponytails. Her eyebrows were the ones that got the most attention, they were shaped like sunflower seeds. Her aura was slightly cold and a whiff of arrogance. The girl next to her seemed to be the exact opposite. She had chin-length light brown hair and small dark coloured eyes. Reina could not tell what the colour of her eyes was from the distance. Her aura was calm and soft like a flowing river.

There were three boys together, Reina assumed they were also some sort of pack or clique. One of them had stubbly hair but looked bald and protruding ears with red glasses. The next boy had pink hair, which did not seem natural, and soft brown eyes. He was winking at Reina and grinning sleazily. Reina felt awkward and looked to the last guys in the group who seemed like the leader. He looked stern which could scare anyone kilometres away but something about the expression on his face reminded Reina of her former Japanese etiquette teacher but dismissed the thought before continuing on examining his other features. He had a large blonde streak running through the middle of his brown hair and multiple piercings on his ears. Overall, he looked like a stereotypical delinquent one would see in an anime.

There was also a guy and girl sitting together in the back of the classroom. The girl wore traditional Japanese attire and had short blonde hair and green eyes. She looked stiff and flustered. Her aura was similar to the brown haired girl just as peaceful. The boy next to her had messy dark-blue/black hair and intense blue eyes. As the boy and girl were talking, Reina noticed the boy also had sharp canines and pointed ears something a demon would have. Reina just assumed he must have some sort of demon lineage somewhere in his family just like any other exorcists in the True Cross. Something about his aura was fiery and strong but also kindhearted just like the delinquent looking boy but demon boy's character was more fierce.

There were two other people but they weren't sitting together. One was in the very back and the other in the very front. The one in the back had on a grey hoodie and was playing on some sort of device. Reina couldn't see his face since the hood was covering most of it. The one in the front had his eyes closed. He looked like that one character that always keeps their eyes closed and once he opens them everyone freaks out. He had on the typical school uniform and messy light brown hair. He's also wearing a puppet on his arm for some reason probably communicates through that thing. In general, the last two people gives Reina the vibe that they are mysterious and there is probably more to them than meets the eye.

"And you must be Miss Reina Yukimura, correct?
