This is probably gonna be worse than the last one, but I'm getting mad all too often (something anyone will go through) and I just wanted to get something done. I got a pretty bad review on the last chapter, probably should've expected that. Having to change a lot of things around from my original story to fit here, and I'm probably not gonna get any better results. The only real point I have to this is introducing what help makes the main character so strong, but something he likes to suppress.
As I watched Tsukune passed out on the cot in the nurse's office, I couldn't help but feel sorry. Even though I controlled the element of water, along with fire, I was never taught how to heal. Jossie, my former teacher/best friend, couldn't teach me before she died.
"Is he gonna be alright?", I asked the nurse, but Kurumu answered with a surprising amount of enthusiasm.
"Of course he's gonna be alright!", she said, "Tsukune's taken more than just a few burns, and besides, Mizore said she cooled him down. Trust me when I say that he's a lot tougher than he looks." Interesting, maybe the human scent is just a distraction, but I wonder what he really is.
"One of the rules here includes not changing into your monster form, right?", I asked.
"Unless there's good reason to", Yukari added.
"Right, so why was that guy..."
"Girl", the nurse corrected.
"Okay, why was that girl in her monster form in the first place?"
"Sadly, not everyone follows the rules", the nurse sighed, "Mr. Aono was caught by surprise, luckily there were others around him. Otherwise he would've been toast... er... pun not intended."
"Bitch thinks she's all that just because her species were branched off from dragons", Kurumu said.
"Only way you'll be as good as them is if you are them", Yukari said, "Trying to pose as an ancient, powerful, and intelligent creature."
"Not all of them are very intelligent", I said. And yes, I was including myself. I've made enough mistakes to prove that I'm not that smart.
"Have you ever met one?", Moka asked.
"Uh... I know a couple that are as close as you can get, dragons went extinct", I said remembering that I wasn't a pure breed of dragon. "I'm sure there are a few actual dragons, it's just no one's found them yet."
"Ow, what happened?", Tsukune asked getting up, "And why do I feel like my insides are on fire?"
"You were attacked by a dragon", the nurse said casually and Tsukune jumped.
"What!?", he shouted then keeled over in pain.
"Stay calm, otherwise your body may not heal properly", the nurse ordered him and he did as she said. He lay on his back and the nurse scooted me out since I was new here and that I needed to get to my room. She called for a staff member to help me get to my room. It was still pretty early in the morning, so I could walk around the school and get myself situated.
The nurse gave me my stuff that I forgot in the office and let me sit outside the door for the staff member to arrive. As I sat there, thinking to myself, I thought about Keo, my cousin that told me about this place.
Why didn't she decide to come with?, I though to myself.
Maybe it's because she really doesn't like you, Nocturn said to me. Nocturn was the evil energy that dwells in my mind. He's merciless and extremely powerful, but when in someone else's mind, he's under that person's control no matter how hard he tries to escape, unless that person had a weak mind.
Shut up, Nocturn, I thought to him, even though he was technically thinking, not talking, You're only saying that because of Angela. My cousin, not only the greatest warrior in the world, in my opinion, but my best friend in the universe, since Jossie died, has the opposite of Nocturn. The light element in which she named Angela. You'd think that we'd hate each other, which we did at first, but you'd also expect me to be evil, which I'm not.
It's still possible, Nocturn thought, laughing. I imagined kicking him in the groin. I didn't know if it would actually affect him, but a short "Ooof" answered my question.
Son of a damned bitch, he said. An image flashed of a man flipping me off.
"You just never know what to say", I sighed.
"What was that?", a woman asked me. She had an orange top with a white, opened shirt over it, and her blue skirt seemed so tight, I wondered how she walked with it. I think the features that stick out though is her orangeish-brownish hair that was in some kind of a feline shape. And were those cat ears peeking out from her hair?
Meow, she's got quite the figure, Nocturn thought.
"Excuse me", the girl said waving her hand in front of me, "Can you answer my question, please?"
"Oh, sorry, I was just talking to myself", I said.
Stop thinking to me, I thought to Nocturn, Besides, I think this is a teacher.
"Are you the new student, Mr. uh... Draco?", she asked confused and looking at a sheet of paper, "Unless this is it, you don't appear to have a last name."
"I prefer to keep it that way for now, if you don't mind", I told her. (a/n the more obvious reason, I can't think of a last name).
"Okay?", she asked confused.
"Are you the person I was told to wait for?", I asked to stray from the subject.
"Oh, right", she said and pushed up her glasses, "I'm your homeroom teacher. You may call me Ms. Nekonome."
"Glad to meet you", I greeted, bowing slightly.
Told you, a teacher, I thought to him.
Age don't matter when you're this powerful, Nocturn said.
We don't even know how strong the people here are. I know I'm still feeling pretty powerful after that fight, but I'm trying to shake off the feeling since I had to borrow your power.
Whatever, your loss. Sometimes, I really just wanted to rip him out of my head, but that would probably free him and unleash Nocturn's full power.
"Is something wrong?", Ms. Nekonome asked.
"Uh, no. Why?"
"Because you keep making faces like you're arguing with somebody."
I do that?, I thought, Why didn't you say anything?
Because I thought you knew, Nocturn joked. I felt my eye begin to twitch from annoyance, but Ms. Nekonome continued.
"Well, I've got your schedule, a map of the school, and your room key", she said handing me a couple of papers and a key. Then she hurried off. Probably nervous I was gonna blow, or something.
"Thanks a lot, Nocturn", I sighed, "You've already managed to make me look crazy and dangerous."
It's not my fault you can't hide your expressions with me, he said. I imagined kicking him in groin a couple more times and he stayed quiet. I looked at the map and headed to my room after taking a tour of the school building alone.
When I reached the hall with all the boy's rooms, I checked the map and saw mine was at the end of the hall. I didn't mind the extra walk, though. All the doors looked similar, but if I listened closely, the students were anything but similar. I heard strange noises that felt like snoring, a frustrated frog, some kind of weird, happy sound I couldn't make out, and some seemed like normal conversations. Until I listened in on them.
Guess I shouldn't expect much different from a monster school, I thought, I hope I can get used to this before having nightmares.
When I reached my room, I unlocked it and found some textbooks and a school uniform neatly placed on my bed. I tried on the uniform and was surprised to see that it fit me well, which sort of creeped me out.
"How did they figure out my exact size when I only told them my name?", I asked myself and looked at the clock. There was about 45 minutes left until school started. "Guess I can get some rest before class", I yawned and fell on my bed.
Again, this was just something to get off my chest. I don't really know if I'll be adding new chapters or not. If there are people who like what I'm trying to get to, say if you want me to add in his cousin sometime. Just to get it out there, I have been having second thoughts about doing this, but this is just practice for me so I can actually see what I'm doing wrong. Friends and family usually sugarcoat it, so I guess I should be thanking Gusto (even if every time I read it it still hurt).
