Session 8

Dark Ocean Vu

The outside of Drogaciji Academy wasn't really that special. It was a large stone building with a brick plaza leading out of it. Plants of all sorts lined the edge, not that the students ever cared about them. Even then, the students rarely went outside the academy. When they did, it was waiting at the bus stop for Bob to pick them up and take them off to parts unknown.

"So this it, huh?" Astamon remarked, pulling Alice behind him. "I was expecting something more... random, Miss Elena."

Elena cautiously laughed and turned to face the gangster.

"Are you sure?" Elena answered and headed towards the exit of the vehicle. "It's just an exterior. What matters, is the interior and the occupants of said interior."

Everyone else followed right behind, only to be met by Aaron and Cutemon outside.

"Hi!" Aaron greeted and gave the people a slight bow, with his partner following suit a couple seconds later. "I'm guessing we're a little bit late to this gravy train."

Elena made a quick glance over at the detective. He looked exactly the same as he did in the previous chapter, with the only difference being the slight soot from the trip here. Aaron seemed like a nice guy in her book, but she wasn't quite sure if her teammates would hold such an easy-going opinion on the matter as she did.

With the exception of Aegiochusmon, everyone seemed quite indifferent on the matter. At the very least, it would mean one more person to help them pull Alice.

"No, he can not be part of our group." the harem mage announced and began charging some sort of magic spell.

"Why not?" Elena inquired as Aaron searched through his pockets, ready to pull something out.

"The boy is more trouble than he's worth, harpy slut." Aegiochusmon answered as a stream of lava shot out of his hands. Everyone then ducked, watching as the burning liquid flew through the air and set a nearby rose bush aflame.

"I could say the same thing about you." Aaron answered and walked over to the rose bush, dumping some regular old water on it. "At the very least, I actually try to fix my mistakes."

Aegiochusmon only growled and rolled his eyes towards the detective. Polly then made a quick glance towards her partner, confused by what just happened. But for now, it was probably not best to push the situation any further than it was at the moment.

"What am I thinking?" the monk thought and took a deep breath, a sharp pain echoing through her body for a brief second. She looked all around her body to discover the source of it, to no avail. "He's just a pervy asshole who's just making things up at this point."

"Polly!"

Polly turned around, finding the rest of the group standing at the now destroyed front door. She made her way over to them, unsure of what they really saw there. It quite clearly was the remnants of a large door, smashed into a million pieces by a large vehicle. Why somebody would just stand and admire it, just seemed silly to her.

"So can we go inside?" Polly whispered as she made her way over to Elena.

"Uh... no." Elena answered and took a deep breath. "There's still technically a door there."

Polly stared towards the girl, confused by what Elena was even talking about. She placed a hand upon the empty space, only to find it to be completely solid.

"What the heck?" Polly shouted and slammed her fist towards the barrier. On contact with it, her fist was knocked back along with the rest of her body. "Ow."

"What did you expect, bitch?" Aegiochusmon added and chuckled in the face of his partner's stupidity. "Just because it doesn't look solid, doesn't mean there isn't anything solid there."

Polly only growled and walked away, muttering something under her breath in the process. While the monk still hadn't solved the mystery of the solid barrier thing, she could swallow her pride for the moment.

"In all seriousness, how do we get in?"

Everyone then turned towards Elena, who took a deep breath.

"We go through the side entrance." Elena answered and motioned for them to follow. The corsair then snaked around to the side of the building, pointing at a simple door within the towering white stone brick walls that made of Drogaciji Academy's exterior.

"That's it?" Carinamon added and made her way towards the door. "Why didn't you tell to come here in the first place?"

"Uh..."

Elena took a deep breath and made a quick glance down at the ground. She didn't really have a reason for dragging everyone over to look at the door. Well, other than to see if the main door still technically functioned. Which meant they couldn't barge in like they owned the place and demand treatment for Alice. Even then, that would be wrong and highly disruptive to the bustling learning environment.

"I don't really have an answer, to tell you the truth." she answered, watching as Astamon pulled Alice over to the rest of the group. "I take that back. If one goes through the front door, you get 'trapped' in there."

"Trapped?" Aaron inquired and pulled his notebook out. "Care to elaborate?"

Elena took another deep breath. While she really shouldn't giving any secrets away, these were her friends after all.

"Uh... Basically, the door is used as a recruitment trap." she finally whispered as Aaron scribbled it down, shoving his notebook back into his backpack. "As such, we need to use the back door."

"Sounds good, Miss Elena." Astamon answered and pulled Alice towards the middle of the group. "I'll leave the dragging of the body to you ruffians."

"Thanks." Elena added and grabbed hold of Alice, pulling her towards the door. "Also, the whatever you guys are going to have to stay here."

The digimon focused their gazes upon her.

"Whatever you guys are?" Tsukaimon shouted. "That's not our species name at all!"

"Yeah!" Carinamon added as she totally ignored her master. "We are digimon, stupid!"

Elena didn't even answer and decided to just open the door, pulling herself and Alice inside. The rest of the group watched on, unsure of how to react to this.

"I don't care if we're called 'Pokemon' or 'Appmon', that was straight up rude." Aegiochusmon whispered, possibly getting ready to sent a spell out. "As such, I believe it is best to think about our act-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Carinamon and Tsukaimon 'apologized'. Even if it would be quite meaningless. Since you know, the offended person isn't there to even hear it! But I digress.

"Let's go." Aaron whispered and headed towards the door. Polly and Joey followed right behind, entering the insane halls of Drogaciji Academy...
