Steven secretly thanked the girl for getting Rin to leave him alone. He was in pain and exhausted. He truly didn't want to deal with the questions he knew waited for him. He knew why he was transferred, he also knew that they didn't have to know why he got sent here. He rested for the 10 minutes it took to get to the academy. His battle with the False Demon was taking his toll. He couldn't wait to just lie down and rest on a bed. Hell, even grass would be better than nothing, he thought. He felt the bus stop and got off the bus with everyone else. The leader of the Japanese Branch, Mephisto Pheles stood at the gates expectedly. The Demon Lord Samiel, King of Time, Steven thought. "Mr. Okumura." He said in a very triumphant and loud voice. "I require Mr. Steven Castle to finish his transfer papers." He put his hand on Steven's shoulder and they were immediately in Director Pheles's office. "Now sit down Mr. Castle." He did as he was told, sat in a nice comfy chair in front of the desk with Mephisto Pheles's name on it. "Tea?" He gestured towards a floating teapot. Steven shook his head. "Right to business, just like your former teacher Mr. Lancer said." He chuckled mentioning the very harsh teacher that Steven had when he first became an exorcist a year ago.
"Papers please, Mr. Castle." Steven reached into his jacket and took out an envelope that was given to him. The demon lord read through the report. "Ah, I see. So you're here because they think you can help with a coming danger."
"Yes sir. It's all there in the report." He continued reading and ah'd when he saw it.
"False Demons, what are they?" He asked almost gleefully.
"They are humans given supernatural powers through rituals. Such as powers of a demon lord." Mephisto frowned for a second and then smirked.
"Humans are always looking for ways to gain more power. What are they after?" Steven shrugged.
"They told me only to give you that envelope." Mephisto nodded.
"Well until the threat shows up. You will be in training here." He smiled. "I'm sure if we can handle my little brother, Rin. Sure enough we can handle you, even with your... reputation." Steven's fists clenched but said nothing. "Now remember to keep those emotions in check we don't want another incident to happen. Then where will you go?" Steven just shrugged, he knew not to play games with a demon let alone a demon lord. "About your living quarters. You will be living in a shack near the Moriyama Exorcist Supply Shop." Steven nodded then the King of Time gave Steven two keys. "One is to go to the Shop the other is to get to the Cram School. You start tomorrow by the way. Now get some rest."
Steven bowed. "Thank you sir." He turned around and went to use one of the keys that Mephisto gave him.
"Oh, before I forget. Go to the doctor's and get those wounds checked."
"Yes sir."
