'Only half of TCU came here they could be in the other half.'
'Even if they came here they'd probably have different courses."
Sentences like this continuously went through Naruta's head. When he followed his friends out his apartment, as they walked out School, as they headed to their separate lectures.
"Na..."
"Naru..."
"Naruta!" He jumped hearing his name yelled surprised his quiet friend could yell that loud. He had his next lecture with Takumi and so they were both walking too it.
"I didn't even know you could be that loud." Takumi blushed a bit.
"You didn't really give me a choice, you were completely spaced out there." He replied, back to his normal quiet voice. As they walked into the lecture hall and took their seats they heard other students gossiping about the TCU students that were coming into their university. As the lecturer walked in, everyone went silent.
"Hello everyone, before we start the lecture today I'll mention that some kids from TCU will be joining our course, as they were also second years in their previous university." A group 16 people came in, and Naruta's heart stopped at seeing 2 familiar faces.
'They won't recognise me I should be fine.' He kept repeating until halfway through the lecture when he suddenly noticed that Takumi was shaking. He looked over and saw Takumi staring at something. Following his eyes he saw a demon, a harmless one but still a demon, walking around the lecture hall. All of a sudden he realised, Takumi could see demons. He must of gotten a temptaint at some point and was now looking fearfully at the demon. It wasn't until after the lecture, that he confronted Takumi about it.
"You saw that thing too, right?" He questioned. Takumi jumped before asking quietly.
"Wait, you saw it too? I thought it was my imagination, what was it?" Deciding to act as if he didn't know what demons were, Naruta acted confused.
"I don't know but it was really creepy. You think it's dangerous?"
"I don't kn-"
"It's a low level demon and it won't harm you. And if you two can see them then you must have temptaints." A voice from behind them spoke. Naruta felt a panic rush through him but hid it and turned round to see two of his ex-classmates. It was Suguro and Konekomaru.
"Demons don't exist, don't be ridiculous." The words tumbled out of his mouth before he could stop them, so he decided to use that as his cover.
"So what the hell was that if demons don't exist then?" Suguro replied.
"How would you know anything about these so called demons anyway?"
"Don't agitate them Naruta, the larger one looks like he could break someone in half and wouldn't regret it." He heard Takumi whisper behind him. He snorted at this before turning back to his old friends as they reached into their bags.
"Ryuji Suguro, Middle first class exorcist."
"Miwa Konekomaru, middle second class exorcist." They both held up their exorcist badges and ID's. "We are going to be teaching how to fight those things at a cram school we'll be opening for this university. That demon may be harmless, but there are many harmful ones and as exorcists we have to stop them from hurting innocents."
"However the amount of exorcists we have right now is dropping, so we need to recruit some more."
"Cool. Well I'm still not joining your cram School or whatever it doesn't interest me. You coming Takumi?"
"Wait Naruta, shouldn't we join to learn how to defend ourselves?"
"You can join if you want but have any of those demons ever hurt us yet. I'm guessing most of the ones on campus are harmless." And with that Naruta walked away, Takumi giving one last look at the two exorcists before running to catch up with him.
