School is in session!..... It's lunch time?

Minami continues cheerfully eating her lunch, ignoring many of the strange things around her. Not once did she question the bandages, nor did she ever question why Aiko was feeding Akio. To her the world was already full of freaks, so whats a few more? She glanced over at Zero as he pointed out Oniichi. Turning she saw a boy who seemed quite...cold. At a glance she had this weird feeling he wasn't someone she'd want to even attempt to be acquaintances with. It was just the vibe she was getting. As she turned back she took a sip of the drink she had with her. As Zero spoke again she looked up once more. He was class president of 2-s and a member of judgement. Two titles that meant absolutely nothing to Minami. People were people, and titles were just that, titles.

Then Akio spoke about Oniichi and her suspicions were confirmed. She indeed wanted little to do with him. She also was mildly intrigued with Akio's comment on Zero's possible strength. Minami turned to Zero for a moment. So you are powerful huh? You know, I never could have told by looking at you. You look just like anyone el- She stopped for a moment when she heard something going on, turning towards Oniichi's location. Three boys has walked up and seemed to be picking a fight. Minami knew something about people picking fights, prompting a quick, Oh boy here we go, they never give up do they? Minami thought she had recognized the boys, they had been picking fights with others before. I can't sense energy, who is at an advantage over there? Your brother, or those idiots? She looked on as a fight seemed inevitable, though she was curious as to how it would happen.

As the group watch on from the sidelines, Oniichi stands on the central aisle with his custom layered school uniform with the three freshmen standing on opposing end from him, in front of him. Knowing it is a public location, Oniichi can tell either they are on a fool's luck or they know that if Oniichi released, it would cause collateral and that would not benefit the school at all. Oh no it does not! So Oniichi was clever enough to develop some spells to limit the collateral even a small hydrogen explosion. In that case, Oniichi--through Aiko--know these freshmen are based on fire, ice and strength. One can cause a blaze in a second, one can freeze the entire room and one can toss things to keep defenders from having a solid standing. Useful combination, provided that these three knew what they are up against. Oniichi clips his badge off his jacket and let it hover in his hand. Normally, students who knew the rules mean that the three have to respond in kind to count it as a challenge and not some kind of a meaningless gesture of intimidation and assault; the only exception to it was between Oniichi and Akio. as usually the attacks are spontaneous and the two know that they should not cause any collateral unless they want to be expelled. Soon Oniichi was disappointed that the three did not remove their badge.

"I do suggest removing your badge to confirm a challenge, otherwise I will have to defend the school from any deformation from your sheer arrogance." Oniichi speaks to the three with a voice of reason and hard facts. Anyone who knows Oniichi will know that he only looks at the improvements of the school, not the students. The one who handles the students will be the others like Aiko Gomoto and Fukano Otori. "This badge? They're junk!" One of the three speaks out. "I predicted that you'll say that. Word by word, previous offenders say the same and all the same, they find themselves decimated by two ends. The badge you wear has a limiter to keep students in check, so without this badge, I can decimate this room without my discipline training that you three rudely interrupted." Oniichi explains to the three as to those who knew about the badges, they are not limiters, they are protection. So in layman's terms, Oniichi's bluffing to coax the trio to remove their badge to keep them from getting expelled. With that in mind, Oniichi can be seen as merciful under his cold exterior... Change that later on.

The three remove their badge and puts them in front of them naturally. The moment that Oniichi put his on the floor before him, it effectively trigger a spell of his. People like Zero can easily tell that a field spell was in use from a change in a color's hue as Oniichi's spell turns the lunch room from white to gray. Reminding that Oniichi has to keep the collateral to the minimum, the spell is harmless to the other students, but to those who are unfamiliar to who he is can feel a chill creeping up their spine harmlessly, but eerily. "An ice user, eh? I am one too!" The ice freshman speaks out in response to the chill. "I'll let you make the first move." Oniichi speaks to them. Quickly, the strong freshman reaches out to a nearby table, but ends up struggling to get it to hop. The fire freshman throws his fist out to throw a fireball, but what comes out was a puff of smoke. The ice freshman tries to conjures ice in between his hands, but the only good of his ability was to soak his hands in water. The field spell is a Mystic Suppression Field spell, which limits the abilities related to Soul Evolution or the Anima Stone, but not Chi. "My turn." Oniichi speaks before snapping his finger, causing the spell to cancel itself and with haste, he speaks, "Marionette," causing the three to twitch and stand straight with an agonizing look on their faces.

It is a signature ability of Oniichi to control the energy that he injected into them from the Mystic Suppression Field, thus gaining control over their muscles. "Game over." Oniichi speaks as he collects his badge, causing the trio to retrieve their badges. "Let us talk with the Headmaster about your inappropriate behaviors." Oniichi speaks before escorting the doomed freshmen out of the lunchroom.

Minami first listened to some of Zero's answers. He did not deny being strong, only stating he tried to keep it hidden from others. She hadn't payed much attention when he stated who had a distinct advantage as at that point she was focused on the fight, if one could even call it that. Minami watched the scene unfold. As Oniichi began, a chill went down her spine, same as many other people. She watched the challenge unfold before her. Oniichi was able to provoke the Freshman to remove their badges, and when they did, it went downhill for them. Minami couldn't quite tell what was going on, but obviously Oniichi had one. The three Freshman all tried to use their powers, but they all just fizzled out (or didn't work at all). Minami wasn't quite sure what happened when they all walked out towards the headmaster's office, unaware he had taken control of them. As this all ended she turned her attention back to Zero.

At this point Zero asked if her and Kynria had any special abilities. With that, Minami almost wanted to shrink down and disappear. She felt a little embarrassed, since by abilities she assumed he meant powers and the like. She obviously became nervous about answering, since she hated admitting it to people like this. [Well, I um...I...well... She let out a soft sigh in defeat. If not having powers counts as an ability, then yes. She said this and went back to eating as almost a defensive mechanism. She hated admitting that, as she now wondered what they would think of her. So many people had some kind of pity for her when they heard, when she just wanted to be treated normally.

"Well, since you two don't have powers, then me and Zero can help you both about that. Considering that the Blood Red Sandman's Son is still outside Karakura's Wall...or was he?" Akio likes to tease girls when he is comfortable around them. When it comes to Michiko, he has more luck saying one word than to tease. Aiko sighs, knowing the tale as well. "The tale that we learned in London?" Aiko asks Akio. "The very one and holds true today!" Akio speaks out with chipper attitude as if the tale was very interesting. Providing that the girls are interested in ghost stories, Akio does not mind telling it. After all, it is close to the day that Halloween begins. A boy turns his head to Akio from behind Aiko and asks, "I never heard of that story, can you tell it to us?" In the Western Hemisphere like London, the tale of the Blood Red Sandman's Son was big, but in places like Japan, it is an exotic tale. Some of the students gather as the story time was likely to start. Soon, more and more gather. Akio looks at Zero with a nervous smile on his face; typical that Akio gets more than he bargained for, but this time, he has to pay in full for his promise. "Alright, gather up behind these two lovely ladies. Casts cannot allow me to turn my head. Haha..."

The students pick up their lunch and went over to the tables behind Minami and Kynria as Aiko sits next to Kynria, having the two girls sitting in between Aiko and Zero. Akio clears his throat as he coping with the sudden audience.

Long time ago, sixteen years from now, there was a young boy, no older than ten lived in a Georgian house in the United States. He was raised by two loving parents who are demon hunters like me and Aiko. He has three siblings; an older brother, a younger brother and a baby sister. What sets the boy apart from his family was his powerful presence; a presence so powerful that it even made Oniichi look weak.

One day, a demon approached the boy, bearing a gift of his salvation from his servitude. The boy smiled and declined. "I will be my own salvation. You just sit back and pray I don't return with a sword." The demon backed off and foretold to the boy that eventually, his story will be heard through the ages. Intrigued, the boy looked at the demon and asked about his fate. "A demon lord never lies when it comes to fate. Upon the night, your family will turn you into a demon." The demon spoke, sending chills down the boy's spine. He does not know what to make of it. Fearing that his family will try to kill him, the boy raced back home and resumed his life until he finds a knife in the kitchen drawer.

His older brother came into the kitchen, asking about the knife while holding a baseball bat to protect himself. The boy looked with a grim glare. Later on, the younger brother arrived home from school to find his baby sister weeping and wailing. When he passes by the kitchen, he found blood on the floor... Akio pauses to create a bit of suspense. He walks into the kitchen and found his older brother, mutilated and hung from the slowly spinning ceiling fan. On the white table cloth stained in his older brother's blood saying, "PRAY FOR I SURVIVED!" The boy was nowhere to be seen and the younger brother called his parents about the death of the older brother. With the family alerted, the two demon hunters guard the remaining children.

It is at night when the legend starts as the boy returned home. The parents found the boy returning him and quickly took him to his siblings, fearing that someone is after him. It is in the morning when the mailman arrived the neighborhood, only to see...blood as the neighborhood was massacred in one night, thus came to known to the demon hunters as "Blood Red Sandman's Son."

In previous experiences, demon hunters and the military tried to kill this demon man, but none survived. it is now believed that the Gomoto Family are the remaining demon hunters on Earth because of that boy who turned demon. The description says that he stood at an inhuman height, slender in shape while dressed like any other person you walked into. There are only two people who ever survived the encounter. Akio points to the picture of Hanako Shikijou Junior at the billboard. And she is one of these two and she is just as powerless as these two before me.. Akio gestures to Minami and Kynria, indicating that back then, Hanako Shikijou Junior, the Top Valedictorian of Karakura High School, was one of only survivors against the Blood Red Sandman's Son. He massacred thousands; man, woman, and child alike. A true monster to behold. The End.

Akio observes for reaction.

Upon hearing Kynria's words she giggled a bit. It's fine, one of these days I'll prove to everyone what I can do, and I'm sure you will too. Since you can see spirits, I'd say you have a head start. Then, Minami listened as Zero commented about having powers. He called them a burden and said he would gladly give his up if he could. This actually prompted Minami to laugh a bit. Burden or blessing, it is all based on experience. Personally, not having powers has been a bigger burden to me than you would believe. How's this for something. You know how easily someone could just grab me and kill me while I'm out in town? If someone has any type of power I am in serious trouble. Not to mention how many people look at me like a handicap when they find out of my powerlessness. I am really getting sick of that. Until I met Kynria yesterday, I had absolutely no one to talk to.

It was at this point that Akio decided it would be story time. People gathered all around as Akio began to tell this story of his. Minami personally didn't like legends like this very much. Actually, she liked mythology and things of that nature, but "ghost stories" never were her thing. She just sat there calmly as he went through. In truth, she was not easily scared. Only when her life was in danger did she really feel actual terror, and that hadn't happened yet. When Akio finished she had but one thing to say. Spooky, well he actually isn't much different from a lot of demon's rampaging through the wastes. She giggled a bit as she said this. She had never seen them (obviously) but she knew of all the dangers of leaving, and the term "demons" came up many times when discussing the outside world. Still, sounded no different than any other demon she knew of. Though she did wonder if all demons were evil, but that would be a mystery for another day.
