A couple of weeks have passed since I saw the True Cross Academy for the first time. During that time Mephisto was my private guide, something he seemed to find really amusing. He never hesitated to tease me and make me feel like a child by patting my head when I didn't understand something.
I was really amazed at how the different keys worked and I was really looking forward into the classes starting. Mephisto was always dropping hints for a big surprise about my new class. Well, I would had two high school classes and one for the cram school. I loved teaching about exorcism and I couldn't help but wonder about this new surprise.
The True Cross Academy was for really rich people. I wasn't one of them… If I was, I would had run back to dear America before Mephisto could do anything about it. Each of the Academy's rooms was as big as the house I rented. The cafeteria was as big as the baseball court we had in my old town, I swear to God… And don't make me start on the prices of the foods. It was ridiculous. With my current money I wouldn't be able to afford eating there more than once. Those rich bastards…
Anyway, Mephisto seemed to be quite proud of his school and he was used to remarks like: "Wow", "amazing" and "my God!" and he seemed to appreciate them. And though I didn't want him to think I was utterly impressed by the size and magnificence of his school, I couldn't help but utter some, if not all of the above remarks.
When we went outside to the garden, he gave me a bronze key and he said that I would use to enter the cram school. Before I could ask where I was supposed to use that he turned away from and said " I will see you at the school's ceremony, my dear~" and then he jumped down a wall.
I shrieked in surprise and run to the edge to see where the clown was but he was nowhere to be found. Sighing in defeat I decided to ignore the fact that he just abandoned me and focus on something more important. The fact that I had no idea how to exit this place, which was like a frickin' maze. The last straw however, was when I finally found the exit –half an hour later- and I finally reached the place where his limo was supposed to be. And guess what! The limo wasn't there either.
I cursed that bloody excuse of a demon and decided to take a bus back home. The ride was fast enough, but the limo had been way more comfortable and cool.
So, as I said in the beginning a couple of weeks had passed since I saw True Cross Academy or Mephisto. I was busy preparing for my lessons and at the same time bought a lot of material that would help me with my own studies as well.
The ceremony was tomorrow. And that also signaled the start of cram school for exorcists. I had be reading Dr. Alreih's Ghouls of the Night for hours now and I was taking notes of many interesting facts that I could teach my new students. The first years, or as the exorcist ranks go: 'Pages', would have me twice each week. Once for Theoretical Demon Training, which was recommended for first years in Exorcism. The second time I would teach them about Medicine in Basic Medicine. I may had not mention this before but I am a Doctor and a Tamer. Though, I believe I am better at the latter.
Looking at the clock a yawn escaped my lips. It was half past eleven already? I sighed. I was used at staying up late, hell, I had pulled many all-nighters in the past. But the past few days were way too busy and I felt way too tired. On top of that, I would have to get up early tomorrow. So I decided to sleep.
I put on my night dress and reached my bed. I was ready to fell asleep when my cell-phone rang.
"Shit!" I cursed while trying to reach it without going the trouble of standing up. I answered without looking at the screen.
"Hello?" I said half asleep.
"Did I woke you up Ayame-san?~"
I growled in annoyance. "Mephisto-san, I was ready to go to sleep. What do you want?"
"I'm really sorry Ayame-san ,but I figured you would have many things to do so I called you, thinking you were awake~"
"Well, I'm listening now, so tell me…" I yawned.
"I just wanted to ask you to come by my office tomorrow after the ceremony so you could meet the other staff~" he said in the same tone.
"And that was something you couldn't have called for, let's see, three hours ago?"
"I completely forgot. I had a lot to do Ayame-san~"
"I see" I said feeling my eyes closing and slapping my face I slightly woke up. "Fine, I'll come!"
"You are such a nice person~"
"I know." I growled "Now, let me go to sleep"
"Goodnight, Ayame-san~"
"Goodnight ,Mephisto-san."
I hang up and I snuggled against my pillow.
Next chapter will be ulpoaded probably next week. But I would appreciate reviews as they help me get a grasp on what you want... So Minna-san until next week! Love you all!
Hail Jashin!
