Free POV
I had no idea who the hell this guy was being so nice to me...Spirit, right? Anyway, he led me to the Academy. Though, I was pretty convinced that all of the roads in town led to the school...It was the center of Death City, after all. But he insisted that without someone like him escorting me through the main entrance, a frightened student or teacher may see me as a threat and attack me. Maybe even kill me.
So he led me and I dealt with it.
As we walked in silence, my mind was focused on Chrona, my beloved darling...I was convinced that if I could do all of the things that Spirit said she'd forgive me and fall for me, leaving us to live out eternity happily ever after. I could almost hear her now:
"Oh, Free, I'm so sorry I ever doubted you~...Please, take me away~! 3"
"You're drooling." Spirit's voice shattered my fantasy and I blushed, quickly wiping at the corners of my mouth to hide the evidence.
We eventually made it to a large, almost endless, room. Clumps of what could be either cloud or mist drifted slowly by, countless black crosses popping up from the white floor and a platform with a cloaked figure...
"Oh, hiya, Spirit~! Back already?" The figure said cheerfully.
Spirit smiled proudly. "Indeed I am, Shinigami-sama, and I've brought a guest." My eyes bugged and my jaw dropped in disbelief. I had never met Shinigami-sama before...I spent my whole life either scared of him or pissed off by him...Who woulda guessed he'd be a nice guy?
"Hello, Free~!" He greeted with a wave. "That is the name you picked for yourself, am I right?"
"Uh, yes," I answered, standing to attention, not really sure what else to do.
"Free here was wondering if there was an available job for him here at the Academy," Spirit explained. "I thought maybe he'd make a good teacher."
I stood nervously, using all my will power not to look at the ground. What the hell was I thinking letting this dumbass redhead drag me here?
Shinigami-sama rested his gaze on me for a while, humming in thought. At least...I think he was looking at me...He was wearing that weird mask...
"I think...maybe we could find something for you..." He finally stated.
I felt myself light up, a hopeful smile on my face. "Really?"
"You have a lot of fighting experience." Shinigami-sama pointed out. "True, you were in prison, and yes, you're none too graceful," I sweatdropped at that. "But we can never have too much help. You can help be one of the people in charge of matches. When the students have combat practices, you will be one of the people in charge of taking notes on each students progress. Those notes will be given to the respective teachers who can further their training. Sound good? It's really not that difficult. Good pay, too."
"Thank you, Shinigami-sama!" I beamed. I bowed to him. "I won't let you down!"
"You'll start tomorrow then. Be here by seven. You may spend your nights here. Spirit, lead him to a free room down stairs, please?"
"Yes, sir," Spirit returned warmly.
I could hardly believe my luck!
