'What a pleasant surprise it seems as the demon has locked himself up in his cage, not wanting to ever get out but do tell me. What would happen if someone knew about your secrets hm? Oh, they would never ever want to see you again… You are just a miscreant created by the world below us and never, will you fit in the society of humans of Faunus alike. No one will come to aid you, little boy as you are a being of destruction. No wonder the creatures of Grimm are terrified of your presence, demon, as you are not only monstrosities but hold a great power that can annihilate the entire continent. You will die in agony for the being that you are and do hope that one day that soon you will be reborn anew. Now leave this abyss, you have a long journey ahead of you, my child."

"AAAH!" He woke up, drenched in his own sweat from the exact dream from a few days ago. A man clad in black spoke to him that he is nothing but a disease in the world, he was not only confused but also angry because it seems true in his perspective. Amida, a trainee, looked around his quarters in the Order of the Sword to look for his roommate, Justin, but he was nowhere to be found. Thinking that he went to get breakfast, he slid off of his bed and walked straight towards his closet to put on his clothes and armor. He went to his chest and picked up his Nodachi, created using black steel and quenched in acid giving it a distinct look of a dangerous weapon. He walked out of his and went towards the mess hall, which contained the other trainees but also filled with the scent of food. He was dying to get his hands on the new special today.

He looked around to see if he spotted any of his friends but the strange thing was that the mess hall went completely quiet as soon as he walked in those doors behind him. He was confused by their actions and asked, "Hey what's going on? Why did you guys suddenly went all quiet?" The others looked at each other and check if anyone would actually tell him the exact truth to their actions. "Anyone?" Amida questioned but still no response.

But that was when the headmaster busted through the doors behind him and took him by the shirt and demanded: "You! Come with me to my office now!" and Amida nodded, slightly intimidated by the headmaster, he was let go from the headmaster's strong iron grip on his shirt and both of them walked out of the mess hall. As they reached their destination, Amida had the sudden feeling that something was wrong and out of order as they should be but dismissed the thought and went towards the headmaster's desk. It was littered with paperwork and all sorts of documents which looked like applications from other newcomers into the Order. However, there was something unusual. Amida's document was on the table, he was confused on why he was there on top of the other kinds of documents but went ahead with the situation at hand.

They both took their seats and stared at one another for a few seconds, the silence was broken by the headmaster's loud voice and asked: "Did you know why I requested you to come here, Amida?"

"I believe I do not sir. Mind telling what the hell is going on!?" Amida demanded and hoped that it wasn't serious or anything.

'Tch' The headmaster adjusted his glasses and picked up Amida's document and checked over his credentials to see if everything is intact as they should be. However, he looked at the species column and saw the word 'human' on it, he looked up and gaze at Amida's red eyes and looked down at the document. He slammed his hands onto his desk and stood up from his seat and looked directly at his student and said in a low voice: "The reason why you come here was for one reason. You are here because we found out who you really are." The headmaster growled, Amida's was fidgeting in his seat and uncomfortably shifted in his seats and few times while trying to avert his sight away from the headmaster's glaring eyes.

"Amida, you are not human nor Faunus. Or should I say, demon…" Amida flinched by the venom from his voice but was also quite terrified from the headmaster's posture and tone. He wouldn't lie that the big buff man was a scary man, he is the headmaster for a reason.

Amida responded: "Yeah so? What is so bad about demons? Yes, I know that some of them are mentally insane but what did you see in me for this past couple of months? I am doing well in my studies and I get along with other trainees as well, I might not be human nor Faunus but please. Do give me a chance to prove myself." He pleaded and hoped that the headmaster would allow him to stay at the school but sadly he nodded his side by side.

"You kept your identity a secret, Amida. It must be punished. Amida, You are now forced to leave this school in the next 24 hours. Take your goodbyes and bid farewell to the other students here in this academy. It was a pleasure working with you, despite the events."

"Okay sir," he slumped his shoulders and stood out of his chair and walked out of the headmaster's office. Justin, his roommate, was leaning against the wall which was adjacent to the door took notice of Amida's grim look on his face.

He questioned, "hey what happened? I heard from the other guys that you were forced to go to the headmaster's office. You okay?"

"I have to leave the school." His grim look dropped into a frown and he sadly mumbled that he had to get his stuff ready before he left.

"Hey man, you know I got your back right? If you need anything, just holla at me, okay dude?"

"Thanks, Justin. I appreciate your concern but still, I do wish the best of future for you. I hope you graduate from here and one day we will cross paths again." Amida faintly smiled but was saddened at the thought of leaving his friend all alone in the school. They both went back to mess hall and started to get their food.

24 hours later

Justin and Amida both stood in the school's courtyard by the statue of the previous headmaster. They looked into the sunset and sat on the bench quietly. Amida was wearing his armor and clothes while carrying his Nodachi and backpack filled with; clothes, food, and water. Amida then stood up and said: "Well I think it's time for me to go." He turned around and looked at his best friend's face but what he saw made his heart crumble. His friend looked up at him with puffy red eyes and sniffled a few times.

"Never forget me, you hear me? I will always be here if you need me." Justin smiled brightly and embraced Amida, sniffling into his friend's shoulder and sobbed.

"Don't worry about me. Just focus on your studies okay? I promise that one day we will meet again. Thank you for being there for me, Justin." Amida started leaking tears out of the corner of eyes and hugged Justin tightly. They stood in the same position for a few seconds and both of them let go of each other.

"I'll meet you again. Don't ever forget me" Amida soon turned around and walked into the sunset. He stopped in his tracks, looked back at Justin and waved his hand while saying goodbye. Justin waved back and wiped the leaking tears with the fabric of his clothes.

"Well, time to start a new journey." Amida turned back and walked out of the school. Hoping to find new adventures out there in the big world.
