The young snow white haired man loomed over me. Hazel gray eyes peer down with that sly grin on his face.

"You're name's Nova, isn't it?" he asked, as he slowly reached into his pocket. As if he was receiving something he had concealed there.

I didn't dare to move. Was it a knife?! I thought rapidly to myself. I could not find myself unable to move, for my legs buckled and I sat there helpless as I await what this stranger was about to do to me.

The intention raised the moment he pulled out a long thin rectangular object in hand.

"This Triple D here belongs to you, right?" he asked, beaming a friendly smile that I did not expect.

I muddlely glanced at the object he held out to me. It was surreal black with red swirls blood patterns casing. Just like the one I received from Lucifer.

Vagarly, I felt around myself and even looked into my bookbag to discover the phone I had was not in my procession. But now in the snow white hair boys hands.

I quistitly looked at him. "H-how did you?"

"I saw you leaving behind in the cafeteria when you left in a hurry," he lightly smiled. Then he held out his free hand towards me. "Here, let's get you up so I can probably hand your phone. You look really helpless sitting on the ground," he mocked me.

My face burned with embarrassment as I took his offering hand. He easily hosted me up to my feet. Then he handed me my phone back into my other free hand.

"T-thank you…." I mutter as I stepped back with uncertainty about this stranger.

He looked quite different from fellow demons that roam the Devildom. Mainly his eyes that didn't have that gleam they have but something else. I could not put my finger on it but there is something comfortable about him yet I was not sure I should fully trust him.

He looked quizzed at me, but still kept his light kind smile on his face.

"What's with that look?" He asked, "There's no need to be suspicious of me." He then courtesy bowed before me. Makes me wonder if that's how demons great towards each other. "My name's Solomon," he introduced himself, "I'm an exchange student from the human would, just like you." He glanced up at me between his snow white bangs. "It's so Nice to finally meet you, Nova."

"Wait, how do you know my name?" I asked him, slightly subspecies about this stranger. I was highly aware that another human from my would be attending RAD as me. But I was not aware he was so handsome and good looking as well. He seemily to be the same age as me. Soon I started to get these new bubbling feelings inside me.

He gave out another chuckling laugh. It was so light and friendly that the bubbling feeling filled me with warmth.

"You're probably not aware of this, but you're practically a celebrity here at RAD right now," he winked. I knew he was lying and it gave me an uneasy feeling the way he said it. "Just being an exchange student from the human would makes you special enough. But on top of that, you've got an infamous demon like Mammon looking after you as well."

I nervously laughed, "Yeah…. Lucky me," I try to form a smile with this now awkward conversation.

Solomon seemed too calm being around a school full of demons. Like he didn't seem nervous or at all stressed at least.

Soon the first bell rang echoed out.

"Uh-oh, I'd better get going," he flashed me one last smile before the halls started over flooded with demons heading to their next classroom. "I hope I see you around, Nova. Take care of yourself. Oh, and make sure you don't get eaten," he waved.

I waved back before he blended with the crowd of demons. I could feel the bubbling warmth fade into cold loneliness once more in this strange place filled with demons. I didn't linger where I stood any longer and quickly scurried away to my class. Avoiding the stares and whispers as I make my way through. Less conflict means less trouble.

"Look it's that human."

"A bit too average looking I say, but their soul does look devine."

"Is that the human Mammon supposed to be babysitting? What a joke, they won't survive anytime soon."

I lower my head as I speed up my steps. But it was difficult by walking with just one shoe.

All I could think right about now is being back in my temporary room at the house of Lamentation. Hiding in its comfortable covers in that little comfortable bed. If I had a choice, I would want to stay in that room until the end of the year.

"Just finish class and go straight home," I muttered to myself as I made my way to my classroom. "Just finish class and go-oof!"

I faceplumet into something and staggered back a bit. Once I shook off my dazed and adjusted my glasses in place, I glanced up who I bumped into.

"Good evening, Nova," Lucifer smiled down at me as he stood tall and prosperous before me. "You've become quite the celebrity here, haven't you?" He slightly chuckled at his twisted joke.

I blanked for the amount as my mind completely forgot who said that to me a few minutes ago. Did he overheard my conversation with Solomon?! I try to muster a smile.

"Good evening, sir. And… I don't think so… really. I'm not an attention seeking type," I nervously laughed.

"Well it looks like you made it through the day without being eaten," he smirked. Seeming amused and impressed that I even survived. "Good for you. Still, there's no guarantee that you'll make it tomorrow."

My shoulder slowched along with my facial expression at his comments. "Wow, thanks for the encouragement," I sarcastically said.

He chuckled and patted my head with his blacked gloved hand. "Very optimic of you. But I have to ask, wae that Solomon I saw you talking with earlier?"

My eyes narrow right under his palm, "Yes, I was actually. Was there a problem we interact with each other?" I asked, seeing he seems not too keen that I interact with the young snow white haired boy. For he was the first one I even socialized with than Lucifer and his brothers.

He finally removed his hand off my head.

"No, apparently you can associate with him. Considerable that you are both human from your world. But I would appreciate you be very careful around him because he can't be trusted," he said in his strict orderly tone.

It made me feel conflicted with what he was saying.

Don't trust him? He could see my quationable look on my face and only sigh.

"He may be a mere human, but he has a ring imbued with wisdom, and he wields powerful magic," he continued to explain. But his words could not cummunt with my brain. "He's the type of man who will try to subjugate even a powerful, greater demon if he gets a chance."

"Then why is he here if he is considered a threat?" I question him.

"Diavolo was the one who chose him," he disrespected, "I verbally did not have a choice in the matter. And I have to say the same about you as well." I could feel his red eyes gleam as he stares me down with disapproval. "You wondering around without Mammon in sight, how reckless."

I cowardly lower my head.

Lucifer then sighed one again. "Come along now, apparently I'll assist you to your classroom, just this once," he said irritably, as he placed his hand on my back and pushed me forward into the flood of students alongside him.

This was extremely awkward that I felt like I was walking the path of shame. I noticed the other demon's eyes staring at me. But their gazes would quickly be dismissed sooner or later.

I glanced up at the demon of Pride. He walked with his head high and eyes straight forward with no expression on his face.

Soon my mind wandered deep to the cravest of my thoughts. Mammon's credit card. I ponder to myself, thinking of ways to ask something that is so amoral.

If I don't ask, Leviathan would get mad. But then again, why should I care? It's not my problem. But also, it could be. I didn't want to risk flaking on Leviathan, fearing he may get revenge for backing out for a ridiculous task.

Maybe there is another way to make a pact with the second born demon. But there isn't any exception to the possibility of trading my soul. And I don't want that. I could feel the pressure on my shoulders.

"What is it, Nova?" asked Lucifer in a calm smooth voice, snapping me back from my thoughts. "Is there something you want to ask me?"

I glanced up at him with utterly shock as we kept walking down the hallway. His hand still on my back as he made sure I don't stop and continue to follow beside him and in his grasp.

I don't know how he knew it, but the way he was looking at me is like he could read my thoughts. Could he? I hesitantly gulped nervously. This might be your chance, I thought to myself, but what should I ask?!

Anything, you fool! Think of something fast!

Lucifer brow knit as he pique for me to answer him.

"Uh…. Where do students keep their valuables here?" I nervously asked.

"Where do they keep their valuables?" he repeated quationly. Slowly, I could see Lucifer expression change with subspecies look on his face. Making me question myself even more what I just said. "Considering you didn't bring anything with you here, I find it hard to believe you have valuables you need to keep safe."

I felt his hand moved up to my shoulder and slightly squeezing it that uncomfortably spiked up my nerves. My ears rang with panic.

"Then again," he slightly smiled, rubbing his other free hand under her smooth young chin, "I suppose it doesn't matter. After all, you'll probably acquire things in time," his eyes gleam red as slyly grin, "Things you may think of as valuable."

I tried to control my uttering trembles and gave out a nervous laugh, "Right, exactly! Do you know some good area's I could possibly store? Maybe some money, if I manage to get some…"

That's it! Keep the ball rolling! You got this!!

Lucifer hummed but still had that iffy look on his face. "That desk in your room has a drawer with a lock on it. You can keep items of value in there," then he chuckled. "Though personally, if I had something Truly valuable, I wouldn't leave it there. It's too obvious. Any thief would look there."

"Ah… right…. good point," he muttered, feeling disappointed that I was not close to the answer I wanted.

"Anything else you wanted to know?" he asked. Then he leaned closer to me, "Anything that has to do with Mammon, perhaps?"

We completely stopped moving. I could feel his grip on my shoulder tightened. Every demon around us walked passed and around us without batting an eye.

I could not speak but felt the demon of Pride eyes staring into my soul. He knows?!!

His sharp clean teeth gleam, "Money is considered valuable. Mainly for my brother, Mammon. If you have any on you, he would surely try to get it from you one way or another and would quickly spend it all before you know it," he warned me it seems. "But there is one form of money that he does desire more than anything else in the world that I confiscated and personal frozen."

I dumbfoundedly blanked at what he just said. Before I could even utter a word or thought, the bell rang out once more.

"That's the tardy bell. You should get into your classroom before they mark you for being late," he pointed at the classroom door before us. It was my next class. "You should get going."

He patted my head once more before walking away. Leaving me utterly confused at what just happened.
