The sun started to shine into the room when Rood woke up. After a second to recollect where he was, he peaked over the bed to look at Dio. The blue-haired boy was sprawled out on the floor with a hand on his partially exposed stomach. Rood rolled his eyes at the drooling boy and sat up in the bed and nudged Dio with his foot.

"Dio wake up." After no response, Rood rolled Dio off of the blanket he was sleeping on. With a whiny noise, the tired boy sat up and looked at Rood.

"I'm up… I'm up… Can I not be up?" He yawned and looked at the pillow longingly.

"No, get dressed I need to ask the dorm president about my room." Dio got up sadly and the two got dressed. Before they left, Rood noticed the empty bed that had held Lidusis last night. Dio noticed the direction of sight and shook his head.

"He's always gone before I wake up. And I told you! Lidusis is dangerous to be around so avoid being buddy buddy with him. Try to change your seat too in class. Rood?" He sighed at the realization that his friend had left without him. He quickly ran out to catch up to him.

"Don't leave me~!" Dio said in a whiny voice as they walked to the dorm president.

"Ma'am , I was wondering if my room was ready yet." Rood asked politely once he caught her attention. She smiled at him nodded.

"Yes, of course! We already have prepared it and delivered your things. Ah, well, your roommate is, um, will be an upperclassman." She seemed slightly worried about the roommate which made the blond-haired boy curious to know what the issue was. Dio, on the other hand, was shocked.

"Wait, an upperclassman? Who!?" Dio asked worried to whom Rood might have been put with. Rood nodded, not caring in the least.

"That's fine. What is the room number?" The dorm president nodded in resignation.

"214."

After getting the room number, the two boys walked to their classroom. Once they walked in, they were stopped by a green-haired girl named Lin Noa.

"Rood? Is it you? The same one who helped my brother?" Lin asked him quietly. At the look of Rood's confusion, Lin spoke again.

"Do you know Ben?"

Rood nodded in confirmation as he remembered the young green haired boy.

"Yes, I do. He's your little brother? Ah! I remember now. Sorry, it's so early in the morning, I guess my brains not awake yet."Rood smiled charmingly and Lin smiled and nodded in response. Before either of them could say any more, or anything at all in Dio's case, the professor came in.

"Everyone, please get in your seats."

Shicmuon stood next to the professor, a scowl on his face along with a dark glare.

"Class, this is Asujen Baldwin. He is a new student that will be joining us this semester. Please be kind to him. Mr. Baldwin, your seat is over there." The professor pointed to an empty seat behind Dirod. The Hereis murmured amongst each other about the handsome auburn-haired man as he walked to his seat.

There were some snickers amongst the boys and one stuck out his leg right as Shic got to him. The professor opened his mouth quickly and tensed as he had heard of the boy's explosive temper.

With a scowl, Shic lifted his foot and slammed it down on the leg with a powerful blow. The boy let out a pained yell and quickly retracted his leg to hold the injured leg, tears coming to his eyes. The boy quickly avoided looking at the auburn-haired boy as he gave him a glare that chilled him down to the marrow in his bones.

It was at that moment that Shicmuon was considered a delinquent by all. Well, no that's not quite right. The girls looked at him as though he was a rare diamond or an angel that dropped from the sky, maybe even the most noble prince that must keep his identity secret! Why most of these girls thought this way was unknown. Hormones probably. How terrifying!

But to those with their minds not clouded by his looks, his scowl and glares unnerved those who tried to look at him. His attitude was harsh and unforgiving, his opinion of anyone was low as if he even gave enough thought to care. Although, rarely did he care enough to create an opinion to begin with.

Dio sat on the grass, happily eating a sandwhich, his face seemingly glowing almost as bright as the sun that day.

"Is food the only thing you will stay awake for?" Rood asked his friend a small smile was on his face when he noticed Professor Khan walk up to him.

"Mr. Chrishi, when you finish eating can you please come to my office? I need to speak to you about something." He smiled politely at the young boy who nodded in reply.

"Yes sir."

"Thank you." Khan gave a polite smile and walked off. The moment Rood finished eating, he excused himself and started walking to the office. What he hadn't realized was that along the way, a meeting that would be the beginning of many things he never expected to happen.

It all started when he saw Lidusis being punched in the stomach. Rood scowled, they were not only in his way to the office, but hurting a boy who had obviously no intentions of fighting back. The pacifist boy let them continue to hurt him. Right as he was about to step in, one of the boys stopped and turned to a person walking by that Rood didn't recognize.

"Ah! It's you! I've heard that you're a delinquent that is considered the strongest. Let's test that why don't we?" He gave a grin and Shicmuon gave a slight glance towards him, the look of disinterest obvious on his face towards the other Hereis.

"What's wrong? Afraid to lose?" The boy smirked, his other friends grinning as well. Shic remained calm as he turned his body towards him, the only thing showing his annoyance was the glare on his face.

"Fine. I'll play with you as you wish but, I'm not responsible for the consequences." He walked towards the two who laughed even still, despite their impending doom.

"Ha! Don't get co-" The boy was quickly interrupted by a sharp kick in the face. The boy falls on his bottom, a foot or two away. The other boy grit his teeth and charged at Shic recklessly. Shic stepped to the side casually and slammed his foot on his back, causing him to slam into the ground. Not once did Shicmuon's hands leave his pockets.

Rood noticed Lidusis picking up his things quickly. He bent down and grabbed one of the quiet boy's books and held it out to him. Much to Rood's surprise, the gray haired boy looked at him through his bangs and quickly ran away. As he watched Lidusis run off, Rood scowled and looked at the book in his hand. It was then that he noticed the third boy charging at him.

"Letting hi-" He was quickly interrupted as the small boy grabbed the front of his shirt, flipping him over his shoulder. The Hereis let an 'oof' escape as his back slammed into the ground. Rood then walked towards the office, without realizing the stare the auburn-haired boy gave him, Shic's interest now aroused.

Rood walked to his room as he thought back to the conversation he had with Professor Khan about his new roommate and if they were causing him problems, to tell him immediately. It made him wonder just exactly who his roommate was. He shook his head and opened the door to his room. To his surprise, he saw someone sitting on the bed in his room, when he got closer his eyes widened at the sight of Shicmuon.

"Wh-why…. Are you… he...re?" Rood looked lost and Shic sets his book on the bed.

"I'm the one who should be asking that question, this is my room." He asked when Rood realized why he was there.

"Perhaps… you're my… roommate." Rood shook his head and turned to his bed and walked to his things. As he pulled pajamas out, Shic's watched him, observing the boy carefully. After Rood went into the living room the auburn-haired boy nodded in confirmation.

Rood frowned when he came out and the older boy was still looking at him.

"...What." The smaller boy scowled at him in annoyance.

"Nothing., you just look like him."

"Him?" Rood frowned, his annoyance matching with his confusion.

"Wait." Shicmuon took out his phone before pulling up a picture and showed it to Rood.

"..."Rood clenched his jaw angrily but tried to keep himself calm. 'Did that bastard just compare me to a hamster?!' The thought ran through his head as his anger rose.

"You look alike. Exactly." Shicmuon said, completely serious. "Or would you choose something else. Do you think you look more like this or a kitten." Not once when he said this, was he joking. Shic meant every word he said, possibly a strange compliment in his own mind.

"G-good night!" Rood said as he attempted to control his anger and quickly went to bed, ignoring Shicmuon. The ignored man was confused as to the anger he heard in the younger boy's voice.

When Shicmuon and Rood walked out of the dorm building, rumors started to spread. The auburn-haired boy muttered under his breath, a scowl on his face, the blond-haired boy equally as annoyed.

"Why do I have to go out with you." The older by grumbled while the younger huffed.

"Ugh… I want to die… This is becoming annoying." Rood grumbled and looked at the whispering students.

"If you don't like it then go away." Just as Shic says this, Dio quickly grabs Roods arm almost out of nowhere and pulls him off to the side. Shicmuon keeps walking, ignoring the lost of his roommate.

"What's going on?!" Dio asked, his voice hushed as though he didn't want anyone to hear.

"Nothing. He's just my roommate." Rood scowled and rolled his eyes at the worried boy.

"He… he doesn't bully you or anything right?! Right?!"

"Calm down, no he doesn't. Why would he?" Rood said confused at the reaction of his strange friend. Dio relaxed at these words and looked at his friend with a pitying look.

"You poor soul, you don't know of the dark side of Helios." The blue-haired boy patted his friend's shoulder, much to the annoyance of said friend.

"Dio, what the hell are you talking about." Rood glared at his friend, his morning becoming increasingly more annoying.

"It's the Hereis! They're the third years, we shouldn't get near them! Rood… You might not know this but…. There are some Hereis that bully us poor Iduns! You have to be careful!" Dio said as they walked into their classroom.

Much to Rood's surprise, the moment he entered the room, he was crowd by most of his female classmates.

"Hey! Hey! Will you tell me who that was?! Who you were with just now?!"

"My god…. He's so handsome and dreamy…!" There were hearts in her eyes, simply terrifying….

"I didn't think Helios had someone so handsome!"

"Tell us!"

"Do you have his phone number?! Or even just his email?!"

"I want all the ways to contact him."

"Would you introduce him to me?!"

"What's his name?!"

"Wasn't he just wearing a Hereis uniform?!"

Rood stood there, leaning slightly away from the hoard of girls. He was hoping this wasn't going to be a daily occurrence but if it was…. He'd probably die any minute.

"Excuse me… Can you let me through?" Rood said already exhausted at the start of the day. Luckily, Dio grabbed his arm and started pulling him through the crowd.

"Thanks Dio." The small boy smiled at his friend and walked to Lidusis's desk. The shy boy kept his eyes down, his hair covering the sight making him not realize the other boys approach.

"Lidusis was it? I have your book you dropped yesterday." Startled, Lidusis looked up at Rood quickly and watched the younger boy place his missing book in front of him. The classroom had become silent as they watched the interaction. Rood waited for the gray-haired boy to pull it towards him but Lidusis made no move to do so. Rood only looked at the other classmates when one decided to speak up.

"Rood… You haven't been here so you don't know, but you really shouldn't talk to the monster." The classmate looked at him worried while Rood frowned in displeasure. Lidusis on the other hand swallowed his tears and tried to pretend that the words he heard everyday didn't hurt.

"Monster? Who, Lidusis? The boy who was so worried two days ago that he didn't realize his book was upside down?" Lidusis blushed at Rood's mention of his book and looked at it. He hesitantly pulled it to him.

"The same boy that willingly lets others call him a monster and beat him up without uttering a single protest? He's not a monster in any sort of way." Rood watched the faces of his classmates, some looking away, others that don't seem to care and others like Lin, who looked down in shame. One of the classmates were going to speak up when Professor Khan walked into the room. The bell rang right at that moment and he smiled at his students.

"Everyone, please sit down. I want to talk to you about our research paper as well as tell you who you're partnered with." Everyone got to their seats quickly, curious to know who they were partnered with.

"In your researches papers, I want you and your partners to look up the beginning stages of awakenings as well as magic spells. I don't care if you talk about the latest or the transformation of magic circles or about the changing of magic circles. Just make sure you don't get off topic."

In a Hereis class, Shicmuon looked at the bright blue sky as he stared out the window. In the background was the teacher talking about high ranking demons.

"And now the partners. I'll ask someone to put a list on the wall in break time. The list will contain the partners. Also, you can partner up with people from other classes, just come and tell me. Let's start our lesson now." Khan said to his class with a smile.
