Ain's alarm rang at precisely 5:00, as always. He put on his sports clothes and went to the gym room, as always. At 6:00, he took a shower, put on his regular clothes, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and combed his hair, as always. At 7:00, he went down to the dining hall to eat breakfast and greeted the cook, as always. However, something else was different today. It was the first day of the new school year at Velder High. Ugh, just thinking about dealing with all those plebeians made his head hurt.

"Bye, Ainchase! Have a great day!" His mother waved as the limousine pulled away.

Meanwhile, a crowd of students gathered around the entrance of the school.

"Why is everyone here so early?!" Lu huffed as the other students squished her between their bodies.

"We're here to see Ainchase Ishmael's limo!" One girl shouted at her. Lu rolled her eyes for about the millionth time since she heard the news about him.

"Well, Ciel and I were told that a 'special event' was happening today. We wouldn't have wasted our time here if we had known that it was all about a trivial matter like this."

"Hey, look! I think that's it!" The girl squealed and jumped up and down as a limousine pulled over in front of the school. Ain jumped down from the back seat and gave all the students gathered in front of the school a glare so icy it turned all of them into human popsicles. Well, except for Lu and Ciel.

"DISPERSE, PLEBEIANS! YOU ARE BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE!" He yelled. The human popsicles didn't need to be told twice. They immediately thawed and scampered away in different directions, muttering to themselves about how scary he was. Well, except for Lu and Ciel.

"What right do you have to tell us to disperse? Does the house of Ishmael own the school?" Lu sneered.

"Move out of the way immediately, demon." Ain managed to maintain his composure regardless of the flames of wrath burning inside him.

"Make me." Lu fixed her gaze on him, pure malice overflowing from her eyes.

"HEY! BREAK IT UP! THE THREE OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" A teacher yelled from inside the building. Ain and Lu shot each other one last hateful glare and sprinted off.

Unfortunately, Ain and Lu happened to have first period together.

"You again!" They exclaimed.

"Sit down while I take attendance!" The math teacher roared. Even more unfortunately, there were only two seats left, and they were next to each other.

"Alright! Say here when I call your name! Aisha Landar!"

"Here," a girl with short purple hair called.

"Ara Haan!"

"Here." A girl with long dark hair wearing an orange dress replied meekly.

"Ainchase Ishmael!"

"Here." Ain raised his hand.

"Elsword Sieghart!" Ain immediately snapped to attention. Yes, he had to get on this person's good side as soon as possible.

"Here!" The red-haired boy shouted.

"Edward Grenore!"

"I go by Add!" the white-haired boy was busy playing with several floating devices of unknown function.

"Please put away, uh, whatever those are." The teacher frowned.

"They're the Nasod Dynamos! I have to use them in all my experiments!" He protested.

"Please refrain from conducting experiments in class." The teacher's face turned an unpleasant shade of green.

"This class is stupid!" Add lifted his chair and threw it across the room. Several students ducked to avoid the flying piece of furniture. The teacher grabbed him by his shoulders and marched out of the room. When the teacher returned, he simply resumed taking attendance as if nothing happened.

"Rena Erindel!"

"Here." A green-haired girl with pointed ears answered.

"Raven Cronwell!"

"Here." A shady-looking boy with a scar across his eye responded gruffly.

"Eve Nasod!"

"Present." A blond-haired girl with amber eyes said in a robotic voice.

"Mara Russiella Lurelle!"

"Here. By the way, I go by Lu." Lu brushed her long white hair aside.

"Caelum Thaxra!"

"Here. I'd like to be called Ciel."

"Prince Seiker!"

"How interesting. A mere plebeian of the Seiker family calling himself a prince." Ain remarked drily.

"I go by Chung, and I'll have you know that I come from a long line of excellent security guards." A feminine looking boy with golden hair cut into blunt bangs glared at him.

"A sissy like you? A security guard?" Ain teased.

"I am not a sissy!" Chung growled, his hands balled into fists.

"THAT IS ENOUGH! I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT SENDING THREE STUDENTS TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE ON THE FIRST DAY! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT A BLOW TO MY REPUTATION THAT WOULD BE?!" the math teacher sprang up from his desk and knocked his coffee mug onto the floor, spilling its contents all over the carpet. The class quieted down.

"Alright. Anna Testarossa!"

"You can call me Rose." A girl with crystal blue eyes and fair skin answered.

"Laby!"

"Laby is here, Mr. Teacher!" She grinned widely.

"I believe that's everyone. Now, open your textbooks to page 364..."

Four periods later, the students of Velder High miraculously transformed into a herd of wildebeests and stampeded down the hallway toward the cafeteria. The wildebeests then jostled and shoved each other as they vied for the best spot in line. Well, except for Ain. He was able to get the ideal spot just by glaring and yelling, "Disperse, plebeians!". After getting their lunch, Lu and Ciel were looking for a place to sit. Extremely unfortunately, the only seat left was once again next to Ainchase.

"Ugh, it looks like we have to sit next to Ainchase Douchebag Ishmael again." Lu wrinkled her nose.

"What did you just call me?" Ain growled.

"Ainchase Douchebag Ishmael," Lu repeated cooly. Before anyone could react, Ain had already hurled his soup at Lu. For a moment, it seemed like time had stopped as she stared at the liquid dripping down her dress. Then, she smirked.

"You're on." Suddenly, the whole cafeteria was engaged in the greatest food fight Velder High had ever seen. It was everyone versus Ain. Even the most timid students let loose their anger at the heir of El Energy Co. At this moment, a bang echoed through the hallways. The lunch monitor had kicked the door open.

"WHO STARTED THIS!?" She bellowed like an enraged hippopotamus. Lu and Ciel and all the other students pointed at Ain. Ain pointed at Lu and Ciel.

"AINCHASE ISHMAEL! GO TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE RIGHT NOW!"

Ain sat in the principal's office, waiting for his mother to come pick him up. He had just received a one-day suspension as punishment for the food fight, and he was seething with anger. He gritted his teeth. Soon, those demons would witness the wrath of the house of Ishmael!

Author's note: Credits to Kalafinn54 for the name Ainchase Douchebag Ishmael.
He/she is a great writer and I couldn't have written this without him/her. Also, to clarify some things, at this time in the story everyone is in their base class. By the way, I know that demons were born from Dark El, not Henir, but it would sound weird for a company to be called Dark El Co. I apologize for not updating for so long. I was having some account problems.
