7 Is it what it seems?

In swift speed, he ran towards the door and pulled it as fast as he could. It wasn't locked so he was able to use only little amounts of strength to open it. This made him think there wasn't anyone after he left and he clearly locked the door right after he did.

Upon opening the door, what he stumbled upon was Maria in full-armour, standing there.

"Maria? What are you doing here? You're going to be late," said Drakios, catching Maria off-guard and surprising her.

"You pervert! This is the second time you've done this to me!" said Maria.

She was wearing a full-armour of gold plating and a cape attached to it. On her head was a helmet of pure gold and decorated with fine materials that weren't too common to be seen, it looked to Drakios that she was wearing real armour.

"I was just trying to find my school uniform and besides, aren't you supposed to be wearing your uniform as well? Like, look at the time," replied Drakios. "Why are you even wearing that thing? Isn't that Athena's armour?"

Maria looked at him as if she already knew what he was thinking.

"Wait, you're probably thinking I'm Athena's vassal aren't you?" asked Maria.

"What? no, why would I even think of that?" replied Drakios, even though deep in his mind, he was thinking the possibility that he still couldn't confirm at the meantime.

"This is just cosplay, I like doing it and second, my vassal is Persephone - Queen of the Underworld," replied Maria.

"Oh ok, now maybe I should hurry up and find my uniform," said Drakios.

"Oh good luck, wait... what!? Why are you wearing that woollen toga?" said Maria. "It's like been days since everyone has been wearing their uniforms and you haven't noticed?"

"I was always late, so I always arrived on formal occasions when everyone was wearing a toga, everyone, I think was so impressed by my preparedness that they probably forgot about my uniform," said Drakios.

"They probably were just laughing it inside," said Maria in a low voice. "Seriously, didn't you even notice them wearing theirs?"

"I don't know, Prometheus is always talking on my head that I forget things, well I need to hurry now," replied Drakios.

Afterwards, he quickly headed towards his room, to the closet to find his clothing and underneath it, all was a chest placed just perfectly.

"How did you even manage to place a chest inside here?" asked Drakios.

"I'm a titan, I can carry bigger objects than you humans are capable of," replied Prometheus, sitting on Drakios' bed while taking his form and in a thinking pose, he looked at Drakios in surprise. "You're still wearing that toga?!"

"Shut up! Stop pretending like you don't know! Didn't I told you not to leave my body and take my appearance unless I give you permission?" said Draios.

"Well, that's not a problem now, is it? There's clearly only you and me inside your room," replied Prometheus.

Briefly, after Prometheus said that Drakios was all done changing into his school uniform and was ready to return to his classroom.

"Let's go."
