"Welcome to a new school year here at Youkai Academy." Tsukune addressed the full auditorium for the opening ceremonies. Victoria, Dante, and Tamiko were seated on the stage behind Tsukune waiting for their introductions. "As everyone knows, this is a school for monsters to learn how to adapt to human society. Many of you are new here and have lived your lives in hiding, but after attending this school, you should be able to continue on with your educations and lives out among humans. This school's goal has been and always will be the peaceful coexistence with the human world. Dark Lord Tenmei Mikogami founded this academy with the assistance of the two other Dark Lords Tohofuhai and Akasha Bloodriver for this cause. Ten years ago, my friends and I assisted the Dark Lords in the battle with Fairy Tale and Allucard. We were victorious that day, but it came at a high cost. Unfortunately, the three Dark Lords had to sacrifice their lives to defeat Allucard, but their spirit lives on with every year of students that pass through these halls and continue their lives living peacefully with the rest of the world."

"As an effort to continue our goal of true coexistence, we are hosting some very special students this year. They are humans, and they are fully aware of the nature of this school." Murmurs of concern could be heard throughout the student population. Even some of the faculty exchanged worried looks. "Even though these humans know that you are all youkai, the rule still stands to always remain in human form and do not reveal your monster form to anyone. I understand that everyone here comes from different backgrounds, but in order to coexist, we must learn to respect those differences. That being said, any hostility towards our human guests will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with swiftly and severely."

"Now to introduce our guests," Tsukune motioned for the trio to stand and step forward "We have Victoria Van Helsing from the Helsing family." Victoria offered a polite bow, but did not smile. At the mention of Van Helsing, many students paled and started shifting uncomfortably in their seats. "Next we have Tamiko Mitsurugi of the Mitsurugi Clan located here in Japan." Tamiko offered a bow of her own, not taking her eyes off the assembly. Everyone assembled had of course heard of the Mitsurugi clan of demon hunters, so now signs of panic began to surface. "And lastly we have Dante Corleone as a representative of the Catholic Church, more exactly he is a member of the Vatican's section thirteen, also known as the Iscariot." Dante offered a deep bow followed by smiling and waving to the crowd despite the now very obvious panic that was spreading through the students and even many of the staff.

"Silence!" Tsukune shouted while flaring his yokai to get everyone's attention. "These humans are here as ambassadors of peace. They are representing their respective groups in an open attempt for coexistence. The selection of these individuals was made specifically because the groups they represent can be pivotal to true peace between our worlds. They were also chosen because they can defend themselves very well as I know how even in peaceful times problems can occur. As many of you may have heard, I myself was born a human and allowed into this school. However, I was unable to defend myself and as a result of injuries I accrued, I was changed into a youkai. Because of my background and the changes I went through, former Headmaster and late Dark Lord Mikogami selected me to be his successor." Turning to the three students standing on the stage with him "I will also not allow any hostility from you three either, you are allowed to defend yourselves, but open aggression will be dealt with by measures approved by your groups. The safety and security of this school and its population are paramount."

"I am expecting big things out of all the students here. The world needs coexistence because every year both human and youkai populations are increasing, and interactions are going to become more frequent. A war between our worlds would be a war that no one would be able to win, so peace is necessary. Please work with each other and thank you for attending. Now everyone is free to go to their homerooms. After homeroom, you are free for the rest of the day. Classes officially start tomorrow, so everyone relax and good luck with your school year. You are all dismissed." Tsukune concluded his opening speech.

After the last of the students filed out of the auditorium, Tsukune turned toward his assistant "That went well I believe. Let's just hope that whatever problems do develop, they are minor. Thank you for your support Ruby, how about some brunch? My treat."

"You know I will always be here for you Headmaster, and brunch sounds great." Ruby said to Tsukune taking his offered arm and following him off stage.

"Please take your seats" Ms. Nekonome instructed as she entered her homeroom class. "I am Shuzuka Nekonome, you may call me Ms. Nekonome or Sensei. I am going to be your homeroom teacher this year. As the Headmaster stated in his speech, this is a school for monsters to learn how to coexist in the human world. Please remember to always maintain your human forms and never reveal your monster selves to anyone else. This year we are proud to have the three human ambassadors in our class." Ms. Nekonome announced excitedly. "Would the three of you please introduce yourselves to the class?"

"Certainly Sensei" Dante said with a friendly grin "I am Dante Corleone with the Iscariot. I love dancing and music, I look forward to advancing coexistence with my classmates." Dante winked a couple of girls in the front row.

Noticing the crosses Dante wore on his uniform, one of the girls, who had platinum blonde hair and red eyes, asked "Are you really human, with those crosses, you look like a sealed vampire."

"Isn't one of the rules not to reveal what you really are? Well, I believe that some rules were meant to be broken" Dante said while removing his crosses "see, now transformation, just your everyday human. I wear these crosses as a part of my religion. Maybe we can get together sometime to 'talk'" This caused the blonde and a few other girls to blush and giggle bashfully.

Victoria walked up and smacked Dante in the back of the head "that is not the kind of coexistence we are trying to promote."

"Why not? If we are to share the planet, why not share everything?" Dante asked looking at the girls in class.

"Boys" Victoria muttered shaking her head. "I am Victoria Van Helsing, I am a direct descendant of Abraham Van Helsing and the only daughter of Integra Van Helsing. Please take good care of me" Victoria said with a bow.

"You are too stiff, relax and enjoy yourself" said Dante as he leaned against one of the desks.

Taking her cue, Tamiko stepped forward "I am Tamiko Mitsurugi, eldest daughter of Hiko Mitsurugi and next in line to lead our clan." She offered a small bow as she stepped back.

"Excellent!" Ms. Nekonome said "I know that we will all get along swimmingly…" Ms. Nekonome trailed off thinking about fish swimming.

"Ms. Nekonome?" one of the other students tried to get her attention. The bell rang to dismiss class just as Ms. Nekonome came out of her daydream. "Okay students, you are free to enjoy the rest of the day now. See you tomorrow morning for class."

"So, what is your name?" Dante asked the platinum blonde from earlier.

"My name is Yoshie Himura." Yoshie said blushing at the attention.

"It is a pleasure to meet you" Dante said kissing Yoshie's hand.

"Hey! So you are the big bad hunters huh, you don't look like much to me" said a tall blonde haired boy with a collection of piercings on his face and ears. "I bet you couldn't beat an Ittan Momen."

"I take it that you want to try to test this little theory of yours?" Dante smirked

"You know, I think I will take you up on that" The bully stepped forward
