1 The Academy

"Oh! My poor child, you have no control on yourself when you are in demon form!" the witch mother sighed.

"That's it! Stop whining like that. Tomorrow we will admit him in the Top class high school, "Arcadia Demons Academy" for his training." his dad declared.

"But he is my poor little son, why can't I have him all to myself?" the witch whined.

"Linda, you need to let him go. He will stay under training with other kids of his kind." 

"But Crius ? He is our child. We can't let him be on his own just because he can't control his demon power. You being the Vampire king, how can you let him be far from you?" tears overwhelmed his mother.

"Don't worry, Linda! He is our child, and he must be trained to be a full fledged demon to get the title of the throne." his father caressed his hair and took him in his embrace.

Crius walked toward the mirror carrying his little demon son into his arms, "Jayden, you must make me and your mother proud."

Linda joined them with tears in her eyes which showed the despair of detachment from her newborn son. She leaned against Crius and caressed Jayden's head while her eyes were taking in the picture of all three of them in the mirror.

Only if the picture would stay forever.

<<<. THE NEXT DAY MORNING. >>>

"Welcome to Arcadia Demons Academy" the headmistress spoke. She looked elegant with her specs and the dark skin she possessed.

"Hello, Miss Hiragi. We are glad that our child will be under your care." Crius showed his gratitude of how much he was hopeful of his son's future.

"Oh! Not an issue, we have been training children over more than thirteen decades, so we are more than happy to train a new kid." Headmistress Hiragi sounded so sweet to his parents that both of them sighed in relief.

"Alright then. What are the necessary documents that we need to provide?" the child's father asked.

"Please come with me this way for the paperwork." She directed both the guardians into the office, "the kid can stay here. He might like to explore the academy, just don't go too far."

"Will you stay here for a while until mom and dad finish up with the paperwork?" Linda asked her only child.

"Yes mommy, I'm a grown up child." Jayden cheered up his mother.

Linda nodded and departed with Crius into the office.

While Jayden, a little 17 year old demon kid who cannot control his power began to explore his surroundings. He turned to every corner and checked how different it looked from his house.

<<<HALF AN HOUR LATER>>>

"Hey dear, what are you doing here?" the headmistress appeared in front of Jayden.

"I'm just trying to find my way back to my parents." he drawled knowing he was lost.

"Haha" she chuckled, "poor child! Come with me, I'll take you to your parents." She extended her arms.

He happily accepted her offer and went with her to find his parents.

"Kid, what's your name?" She asked while leading him to the office.

"I'm Jayden. Everyone likes to call me Jade but I'm fine with both." He answered politely.

"What's your special power Jade?" curiosity got the best of her.

"I'm a child of a witch and vampire, but it makes me wonder that I'm neither a wizard nor a vampire. I'm different. And I grow older each day." he said with hurt in his eyes.

"Oh dear! Then what's your age now? You have quite a height to be an average teenager." Miss Hiragi inquired further.

"I'm 17, tomorrow I'll be 18, a full fledged adult demon and as for my height, it will be stable someday." he turned his head just to find the sight of his parents.

"Mommy, dad!" he squealed and ran into their arms.
