The next day after seeing Tirannica locked up, Marcus got out of bed and went down the stairs. When he went down he saw that his students, Miss Grimwood, Partidos and Alador were waiting for him.
-What's wrong? Marcus asked.
-Marcus. We have to talk about your future. Alador answered.
-My future? Marcus asked.
-Now that the spider queen is locked up, your mission is over. What are you going to do from now on? Alador asked.
It's true that Marcus' mission was to lock up Tirannica and the possessed who had escaped from the gates of the underworld, but that was already done. He had come to Grimwood with the sole purpose of protecting the girls from the spider queen, he didn't expect to become so fond of them, he just wanted to redeem himself for his sins, which he had already done. His students looked at him waiting for his answer, Tanis approached him.
-Master. Are you going to leave us? Tanis asked.
The girls didn't want Marcus to leave.
-But what are you saying, Tanis? Of course I'm not going to leave, I still have a lot to teach them. I'll stay as their teacher forever.- Marcus answered.
The girls were so happy that they went and hugged him.
-Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.- Tanis said.
-We had a plan to convince you in case you said no. I'm so glad you decided to stay.- Sibella said.
-I won't accept another gym teacher other than you.- Tanis said.
-You still owe me your revenge.- Elsa said.
-I'll die if you're not here.- Ghost said.
-If you had said no I would have searched the whole world to bring you back.- Amelia said.
The girls were happy that Marcus was staying in Grimwood and he was happy that they appreciated him so much. It's nice to be so loved.
-Here in this school I found a second family. How could I go and leave it? Everything I want is here.- Marcus' thoughts.
-It's good that you decided to stay. By the way, I made an office for you.- Miss Grimwood said.
-Really? Great, I want to see you later.- Marcus said.
Marcus looked around the place and noticed that three people were missing.
-Where are Fenrir, Doby and Grogg?.- Marcus asked.
-They left, they asked me to leave you a message when you wake up.- Alador answered.
-What's the message?.- Marcus asked.
-The message is: "Thank you for everything."- Alador answered.
Marcus smiled upon hearing that.
-Wow. Those three, I hope to see them again someday.- Marcus said.
Fenrir, Doby and Grogg had gone from being enemies to being allies of Marcus, and the girls. They hoped to see their progress in the future... unfortunately that was going to happen.
Fenrir, Doby and Grogg were walking along a path.
-You don't know how relieved I am that Tirannica is no longer here.- Doby said.
-I hope I never see her again.- Grogg said.
-You said it, let her stay where she is.- Doby said.
-Hey guys. You know what? I think I want to give humans another chance.- Fenrir said.
The three of them had initially suffered for the humans and wanted revenge, that led them to join the spider queen. However, after everything that happened and having met Marcus, and the girls. They wanted to start over from scratch with them.
-Me too. I'm tired of hating.- Said Doby.
-I hope to meet many humans who are like him.- Said Grogg.
-Yes, I also hope there are many humans like him.- Said Fenrir.
They were talking about Marcus.
-Well. What are we waiting for? Let's start a new journey.- Said Doby.
-Yes! I want to see many places!.- Said Grogg.
-Then let's go. The three of us will embark on a journey to make friends with humans.- Said Fenrir.
The three of them began to march towards knowing the human world. However, at that moment an arrow goes through Doby's neck, several other arrows that are launched from an unknown location go through him. Doby falls to the ground and dies.
His friends were in shock at seeing that.
-Doby!.- Grogg shouted.
Fenrir sniffed the area to find out who shot.
-Who's there!?.- Asked Fenrir.
Grenades were thrown at Grogg, the grenades explode and Grogg falls to the ground, and dies. Fenrir could only watch what happened, he was furious.
-Get out of there!.- Fenrir shouted.
Some bolas were thrown at Fenrir, trapping him. He tried to break them but the bolas were made of a resistant material. The bolas electrocute him, hurting him and making him fall to his knees on the ground. He was helpless.
-We got you, beast.- Said a voice.
From between the trees three guys come out, they weren't monsters they were humans. They wore futuristic armor that covered their entire body, the armor was silver, their faces were covered by silver hunter masks, they wore trench coats over their armor, they wore their hoods on their heads. They also wore belts with various weapons, the one in the middle had a sword on his waist.
-Who are you?.- Fenrir asked.
-We are the monster hunters.- The hunter answered.
The hunters approached Fenrir, the one in the middle takes out his sword and points it at Fenrir.
-Did you really think that an abomination like you could make friends with humans?. Not as long as we continue to exist.- The hunter said.
The hunter pierces Fenrir's neck with his sword, killing him. Fenrir, Doby and Grogg had died at the hands of those monster hunters. The hunter wipes Fenrir's blood off his sword and receives a call through the intercom on his mask, he answers.
-This is Sado.- Sado said through the intercom.
The hunter with the sword was called Sado.
-Are you done with your mission?.- A voice asked through the intercom.
The voice Sado was speaking to seemed to be female.
-Not yet. We encountered some monsters along the way but we already took care of them.- Sado answered through the intercom.
-Good. Don't forget that you must eliminate those three monster girls. The cat, the goblin and the Golem. I want them dead.- The voice said through the intercom.
-They got away from us but we will catch them.- Sado said through the intercom.
-I'm counting on you.- The voice said through the intercom.
-You can leave it to us, we won't let you down. Van Helsing.- Sado said through the intercom.
Their conversation was over and the three continued their hunt. Will these be Marcus and the girls' new enemies?.
A few weeks later...
Marcus and the girls were outside posing for a photo that Miss Grimwood was going to take.
-Let's see everyone stay still for a moment.- Miss Grimwood said.
Above Marcus and the girls there was a sign hanging that said "Congratulations on moving on to the next year."
-That's it. Say Whiskey.- Miss Grimwood said.
Miss Grimwood programmed the camera to automatically take a photo in 10 seconds, she went to stand next to Marcus and the girls to be in the photo.
-Whiskey.- They all said.
The photo was taken.
-I'm going to see how it turned out.- Miss Grimwood said.
Miss Grimwood went to see the camera.
-Congratulations to everyone for moving on to the next year.- Marcus said.
-Thank you master.- Sibella said.
-This year has been a real pain.- Winnie said.
They spent almost the whole year trying to save the world.
-Yes, but next year will be a quiet one.- Marcus said.
-And if a threat arises the master will be there for us.- Tanis said.
-Of course. If another threat arises we will face it together. Why are we...?.- Marcus didn't finish the sentence.
Marcus and the girls put their hands together.
-The Grimwood Ghoul Squad!.- They all said.
Marcus and the girls raised their hands.
-I'm glad that summer vacation is starting.- Elsa said.
-I need a break, after so many battles.- Ghost said.
-Our parents should be arriving soon, let's go pack our things.- Amelia said.
-Yes, let's go.- Sibella said.
-I'll help you girls.- Miss Grimwood said.
The girls and Miss Grimwood headed inside while Marcus watched them.
-Here at this school for monster girls my second life began. I don't know what the future holds for us but no matter what happened, I will protect these girls, because I am their teacher.- Marcus's thoughts.
-Teacher. Are you helping us?.- Amelia asked.
-Of course.- Marcus answered.
Marcus started to head inside with the girls.
-I want to be there for you, whether it's good or bad, that's why I've decided to stay as a gym teacher. Here at the Grimwood school for monster girls.- Marcus's thoughts.
Marcus enters inside with the girls and the doors of Grimwood close until next year.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I don't know how sorry I am to have to do that to Fenrir, Doby and Grogg but it was necessary for the plot to move forward.
