Rin and the rest of the class was following Yukio away from the damaged part of the building, confusion still clouding their brains. Bon was carrying Shima on his back while Shiemi struggled to keep Izumo on her back.
At least the injured weren't left there to rot and wait for someone to find them.
"Okumura-sensei, what's going to happen now?" Konekomaru asked.
Yukio sighed. "I'm not sure. My best guess is that we will be moved to another classroom while that one is being repaired." He answered.
Rin spotted Mephisto walking casually down the corridor, twirling his umbrella and humming some tune. "Hello there! What happened?" Mephisto called/asked.
"What happened..? What happened?! You let a high-level demon inside the building and also let it attack us!" Rin shouted in anger.
"Did I? Well, too late now, right? Is it defeated?" Mephisto turned to Yukio as Rin's jaw dropped.
This guy is seriously hopeless! Rin mentally screamed.
"The demon disappeared, yes. I wouldn't say defeated..." Yukio nervously laughed.
Mephisto shrugged. "As long as it's gone we're fine. Anyways, it was near your classroom correct?" Yukio nodded. "Then where will you teach?" Mephisto smirked.
Yukio thought about it for a second. "I can always teach from where Rin and I live... We did it for the exwire exam, so I'm sure we can do it again." Yukio suggested. Mephisto nodded.
"Yes... Good suggestion... Might as well." Mephisto shrugged. "I'll get some guys to clean this place up. Now, why don't you finish up your lesson?" Mephisto said and continued walking.
Yukio blinked at where Mephisto used to be before sighing. "Alright, let's follow his orders." Yukio said and continued walking, the others following him.
Rin walked in silence, surprisingly. Why did that demon suddenly get in here? More like why did Mephisto let it attack us? He had to have known it was here... I know Mephisto always has a way of doing things roughly, but he wouldn't just create that large and powerful of a demon. It has to be someone else, someone who is more than likely after me... Rin thought.
He sighed before shaking his head and continuing to walk.
Amaimon was on the floor in Mephisto's office. He was laying down on his back, eating a lollipop and staring at the ceiling.
Jealous? How could nii-san say something like that. I'm not jealous! I'm Amaimon, demon king of Earth! I cannot be jealous over a wanna-be demon prince who can't even fight without his sword. Amiamon thought in slight anger.
Amaimon turned his head to the door as it opened to see Mephisto standing there. "Hello nii-san." Amaimon greeted, then went back to looking at the ceiling.
"Amaimon... We need to have a serious talk." Mephisto said, that usual evil grin of his replaced with a frown. Amaimon sighed.
"Why? I didn't even do anything." He whined and sat up.
"As much as I enjoyed the fight, I am upset that you decided to attack the whole class and inside of True Cross Academy. If you were testing Rin, then you could have attacked him while he was away from True Cross Academy and on his own. You brought some valuable exorcists into the fight who are injured Amaimon!" Mephisto lectured. Inside of his head, Amaimon was rolling his eyes and moving his mouth to Mephisto's words in mockery.
"You're right nii-san. I'm sorry." Amaimon said in a monotone voice and lay back down on the floor. Behemoth was next to Amaimon's side, sleeping peacefully.
Mephisto's eye twitched slightly. "No you're not. I'm sick of hearing you say that then doing the same thing another day."
Amaimon narrowed his eyes. "Shut up nii-san, I am sorry. But in the heat of battle, I forget. Is that so bad?"
"Yes it is Amaimon!" Mephisto shouted.
Amaimon stood up quickly and faced Mephisto. "Stop yelling at me! You never yell at me nii-san! I hate it!" Amaimon shouted back. Behemoth slowly opened it's eyes and looked around sleepily.
"Obviously I should because now you're taking me seriously!" Mephisto retorted. Amaimon broke the recently opened lollipop in half in his mouth out of anger. Amaimon turned away from Mephisto and crossed his arms stubbornly over his chest.
Mephisto calmed down slightly, but he still held that serious frown. "Look Amaimon, if you attack Rin again in True Cross Academy again, I'll put demon barriers around the candy stores." After that statement, Mephisto couldn't help but grin.
Amaimon widened his eyes and spun around. "No, you wouldn't dare!" He said.
"Would I?" Mephisto said with a chuckle. Amaimon's facial expression went back to emotionless.
"Fine. I'll attack Rin somewhere else. But don't close the candy shops." Amaimon said before walking out of the office, Behemoth slightly being dragged behind him.
Mephisto sighed and sat down at his desk. He folded his hands and rested his head on them. "I hate it too Amaimon... But I can't risk them taking you away from here and executing you..." He mumbled before starting the preparations for the classroom and hallway to be fixed.
Amaimon walked away from Mephisto's office. "Behemoth... Where do you want to go now?" He asked. Behemoth shook it's head, indicating that it didn't know.
He sighed heavily before deciding to just go watch Rin. He had nothing else to do, Rin must have something interesting going on.
Amaimon had walked casually through the old dorm house's hallways. "Where are they?" He muttered before opening the door to yet another empty room.
After a while, he approached a door where he heard muffled voices. "Aha!" He said with a grin before pressing his ear against the door.
"And that's all for today's lesson. You may now head home. Also, tomorrow report here for class, I'll be sure to notify you guys if something's changed." Amaimon heard.
Amaimon quickly ran down the hall when he heard footsteps heading for the door. The last thing he needed was for Mephisto to yell at him again for killing some exwires...
About 5 minutes later, he knew that only Rin and his brother were left. Amaimon peeked his head from the corner and started to slowly walk towards the room.
"Alright Rin, do your homework please. I need to go out to Shiemi's shop for a little while. If I come back and it's not completed..." Yukio trailed off and glared at Rin. Rin gulped and nodded quickly.
Yukio then left the room and was about to leave when he saw something. Yukio turned to look at the figure and blinked a few times.
"Hello." Amaimon said casually. He had nothing against this kid, he hasn't done anything to him yet. Yukio took his glasses off and wiped them, then rubbed his eyes.
"I must be going insane. To actually see Amaimon, the Earth king, casually talking to me and not trying to kill me." Yukio whispered, then continued walking. Amaimon shrugged and walked to the entrance of Rin's room.
"Alright... What are each meister's specialties..? Aw! I knew we went over this in class, why can't I remember?!" Rin yelled. Amaimon chuckled and silently looked over Rin's shoulder to see the question.
"Heh, that's an easy one." Amaimon said.
"Holy shit- Who the f-" Rin fell off his chair and hit his head against the edge of Yukio's desk. Amaimon started laughing as Rin held his head in pain.
"God dammit!" Rin said, pain filled in his voice. Rin opened his eyes and let his jaw drop for the second time that day.
"You! You're that guy who keeps wanting to fight me!" Rin exclaimed. Behemoth sighed.
"Yes, I am. But I'm not here to fight today, I'm only here to observe. Oh-" Amaimon got a spare lollipop from his pocket and plopped it into his mouth. "-I'm also the one who summoned that demon earlier today. You really can't fight without your sword huh?" Amaimon said.
Rin looked up to him in obvious anger. "YOU were the one who summoned that thing?! And just to test me or something?!" He shouted.
Amaimon nodded. "I'm stronger than I look, you should know that. So, the only way to know how you fight against high level demons is to have you fight a high level demon. Simple." He answered.
"That's not the way to go though!" Rin argued.
Amaimon was slowly losing his patience. He leaned down towards Rin. "Look here Rin, I still don't know why the family is fussing over something as pitiful as you. I hate being ranked 7th strongest, so the way to get my rank up is to defeat you. I will defeat you, send you to Gehenna, then show you to Satan himself so I can get my rank higher." He explained.
"Rank? If you're 7th strongest, I don't want to know who 2nd strongest is." Rin commented.
Amaimon narrowed his eyes. "You are 2nd strongest because you are Satan's offspring. It's my job to show Gehenna that you are not as strong as they think you are." He said.
"Wait a second, are you calling me weak? And how will you send me to Gehenna?" Rin asked.
Amaimon sighed. "You'll find out. Anyways, keep your guard up. Just a reminder." Amaimon said emotionlessly before jumping out of the window.
"Just a minute... Did you call me pitiful?!" Rin screamed after Amaimon left.
Yes, I know the characters in this chapter a slightly OOC, like Mephisto yelling and Amaimon losing his composure... But we all know he is jealous (And that both Rin and Amaimon have boy crushes on each other) so Rin is causing him to act different...
