Vald and Trevor laughed loudly as they left the administration office. The administration had accepted Vald's admission, though not promising him a spot in the next semester. They had mostly accepted when Vald had said that he just wanted to take at least one course in the semester and didn't care which class he had to attend.
"You're going to end up with a demon professor!" Trevor boomed, laughing loud enough to scare nearby birds away.
Vald shrugged. "No teacher has been too bad so far."
"Because of your good looks, pleasant manners, and innocent aura," Trevor laughed. "Face it. The only teacher who disliked you, and eventually failed you, was the chemistry teacher who suspected you were seducing teachers."
"Hey!" Vald protested, pointing accusingly at his friend. "The teachers like me, but don't go that far! Mr. Akiyama didn't hate me, I just suck at chemistry! You know that!"
Trevor's laughed boomed out again, causing several people to glance their way. "Sure."
Vald let it go. Fighting with his friend, even in a joking way, was always hard for him. Something in him felt that the fight might lead to something worse, and he didn't want that. "Let's just go back," Vald suggested, turning in that direction.
Vald and Trevor were lazing around Trevor's house, too bored to do anything. They were staring at the TV, barely paying attention to the show that was on. Vald fell asleep, not even noticing his eyelids slid shut.
A humanoid monster was holding a guard's head, and behind him Henri was talking about monsters killing the royal guard. Vald attacked the monster, but his sword snapped in two. He glared at the monster as it picked him up by his throat, threatening to squeeze the life out of him. A guard leapt in to save him, saying something about him needing a magical weapon as he took on the monster. Another guard joined in the fight, yelling at Vald and Henri to run found himself in a huge castle. There were guards everywhere, mostly protecting either him or his brother Henri. A flying beast lunged for his brother, but Vald cut it down with a sword in his hands. He told the guards and his brother to run, but a crash from behind him made him grab his little brother and turn to face the new enemy.
Vald ran, closely followed by his brother, but not towards the exit. He ran to where he knew he could find a weapon to save the men sacrificing themselves for him. He opened the doors to a giant room, only pausing to make sure there were no demons inside before rushing forward to a chest.
"Va…Val tha…that is…" Henri stuttered.
Vald opened the chest to find an evil looking sword. "This is the only way to save the people," he said calmly, picking up the sword. He felt a rush of energy enter him, making him feel more powerful than ever before.
Vald gasped, jumping up and falling from the couch he had been sleeping on. His head whipped around, not quiet believing that this was reality and the dream was fake. Trevor was sound asleep, and it was already two in the morning. Vald sighed and laid back down, closing his eyes as he tried to remember his dream.
