2 Chapter 2: Who Turned On Baby Mode???

According to dad I got enrolled into Krajveskil Academy. Which is great because I start today and I am so excited. However, since our enrollment was so last second, I wasn't able to get into the class with the other nobility. So they put me into the misfit class, which sounds like such a manga storyline. Besides the point, I was told to be careful since there are plenty of people in the misfit class that wouldn't take too kindly to nobles.

"Wakey wakey. So how is our handsome young man doing?" Asked Mom peeking her head through the door.

"Doin alright. Looks like I was too excited and had some trouble sleeping."

"Trust me kiddo. I know the feeling. Reminds me about the night before I married your mother."

I think my dad is more excited for me to get hitched than for me to go to school. Usually I would love to listen to their backstory since I have no memory of anything. BUT I WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!

"Trust me dad that sounds... Like a great story, but I really don't want to be late to school."

"Okay sweetie. Have a great day at school. I'll make sure to keep your father entertained so he doesn't walk with you to school"

Ignoring that statement I left the house and now that I can see it from the front. It. Is. Huge. This house looks more like a mansion that would cost millions of dollars. I think it's just now sinking in that I am a noble. I don't think I should be complaining but it's still going to take sometime for me to get used to all of this.

Wait, now that I think about it. My dad had wings and flew to the school and if that's the case do all demons have wings? And if that's true then that would mean that I am the only person my age who doesn't know how to fly. I swear if people start making fun of me on the first day because I don't know how to fly. It's fine. I am just panicking for no reason.

As that thought crossed my mind wind started to pick up around me. With that a swarm demons started to fly overhead. It looked as if a massive black cloud flooded the sky.

Okay maybe we do panic. Because that looks like the entire demon population flying in the direction of the school. I think I might actually cry. First day ruined by being the only person that can't fly.

"No way!"

I guess my assumption that I was alone was poorly made. I turned around anxiously to see who rudely yelled at me.

The culprit of the shouting was a girl with short brown hair. She seemed to be 5'6'' and wore the same school uniform as me.

"H-Hey"

"I can't believe it. There's another person that's walking to school too."

"Y-Yup. That's me." I said scratching the back of my head.

"Now that I think about it. You're really weird for not flying to the school like everyone else."

The audacity of this bich. 'You're really weird for walking to school'. THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. You childhood best friend looking love interest reject. Calm. Calm. Breath Shun. There is no reason for me to snap at a stranger.

"Why do you look like that?"

I take it back. I take it back. I am gonna commit several war crimes right now.

"Last time I checked. I wasn't the only person walking." I said through my teeth.

"Yeah. I'm afraid of heights."

"What kind of demon is afraid of heights and proud of it?!"

Her face said it all. I think regardless of her saying it proudly she is probably really self conscious about it. Regardless this chick is annoying beyond belief. I think it's best that I turn around and walk away.

You wanna know something? Trying to be the better person pays off sometimes. This walk is actually peaceful and add in this slight breeze. It's what I like to call a beautiful day. I'm not going to let some tramp ruin this perfect-

Actually now that I mention it. WHY IS SHE WALKING SO CLOSE TO ME? I know we are going in the same direction but her arm is literally brushing up against me. She also hasn't taken her eyes off of me this whole time. Ahhh I feel violated right now.

"Ummm. Do you need something?"

"I take it back."

"Take what back?"

"What I said earlier. You don't look half bad."

You see that mom and dad? I already got complemented on my looks. Trust me dad I will make you proud and conquer this academy.

"So why didn't you fly to school?"

"Huh?"

"I told you why I was walking. I only think it's fair if you share too."

"I just didn't feel like it would be a good idea. I mean everyone is going to be flying so that means there is going to be a highly crowded airspace. Plus working legs is very important to your livelihood."

Please tell me she bought that excuse. Actually after I explained myself she kinda just fell silent. Which is great if it means she won't insult me again.

"You're interesting."

"That better be a complement."

"You know, I think we are going to be great friends."

"Yeah.. no."

"What? Why not?"

"Did you just so happen to conveniently forget all those insults you slung at me?"

I can't tell if she is being playful or just plain oblivious. Just please tell me that she is good enough to be placed in any other class but the misfit class. I think if I spend anymore time with her I will literally go insane.

It only took another five minutes of walking with this rando before we finally arrived at the school. To tell you the truth I think calling it a school was a huge understatement. It was like a painting from a beautiful fantasy landscape. The school is built like a massive castle with sections and towers floating in the sky. There was even a section where dragons landed.

"Are all schools like this?" I asked just standing in front of the massive gates that led into the campus.

"You never been to a school or something."

"Home schooled actually."

People were flying in from every direction and just casually landing on campus. I don't know why I assumed that all demons looked exactly like humans. But there were students that were huge or had horns on their heads. Wait is that a cat person? This seemed like a social hub for an MMORPG where everyone looked very unique. Minus the people that look like they chose human as their race.

"Ugh I can't believe such a prestigious school would allow mutts on campus." Said a student obviously trying to make a scene.

"I believe anyone has the opportunity to make a name for themselves. Even a 'mutt' can become the demon king." Said a female student with dog ears and tail.

The student trying to make a scene raised his hand and absolutely backhanded this poor girl sending her to the floor. In that moment he achieved everyone's attention like he wanted.

"This school belongs to me. The title of demon king can't be sullied by some mangy mutt." He raised his hand again but was frozen in that position.

"Who does this school belong to again?" I said as I walked in front of the girl on the ground.

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"I believe a mutt should approach his master on all fours." I said as I forced him onto his hands and knees using gravity manipulation.

"Why... Why can't I get up? This is humiliating.."

"You know what. A mutt should know the name of his master." I said as I kneeled in front of him and lifted his head with my finger. The glow of my red eyes left an expression of fear on his face. "Shun. Shun Greywaltz."

I let him free from my bond and watched as he ran away. Once he was far enough away I made my way to the poor girl and helped her up.

She was beautiful. She had long brown hair that was put into a ponytail. She had white hair on the tips of her ears and tail. She also had some really cute freckles lined on top of her nose and cheeks.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Thank you for that."

"My names-"

"Shun Greywaltz, right? Kinda hard to miss that."

"Haha.. You don't think I went a little over the top there do you?"

"Nah. I thought it was pretty cool. Saved me from having to show my hand."

Great. That means she easily could have handled things herself. Way to go Shun. First day and you're making enemies.

"The names Sarah Wataf."

EEeeeeeee! I did not just disrespect a royal right now. Why god, I'm going to die. I'm sorry mom and dad. I know it's just been a day that I spent with you but you guys were amazing to me. I just hope I didn't disappoint you guys too much.

"Hey hey hey. You can get rid of that petrified expression. And wipe those tears. I am just apart of a sect in the Wataf family. I am in no way an actual royal. I am just one of the children from the sect of bodyguards. I got permission to go here since the princess will also be attending."

"Oh thank the lords. I thought I was about to be executed by the royal family." I said jokingly, returning my soul into my body.

"Hahaha. No there won't be any of that. If anything, I am really grateful. Anyway I have to meet up with the princess so... Hopefully I get to see you around." Sarah said before making her way inside.

"Wow. Shun getting it on with a member of the Wataf family." Said the leech that just won't leave me alone.

"Piss off"

Mom I know you told me to always protect women and do right by them. But I think I just might kill this one.

The classes in this school are separated by power and intellect. It ranges from Royals and high ranking nobles in class A. From there are mid level nobles in classes B and C. Then there are also low ranking classes which are D, E, and F. However, below all of that is the misfit class which doesn't even get a letter ranking. I guess the good part is that rankings aren't permanent. You can move up or down through the classes depending on your grades and other factors. So if I am being optimistic that means I can climb up to class A.

Well that being said, this is it. It's the first day of the school year. And I am stood in front of the door that will define the rest of my life. Am I getting ahead of myself right now? Probably. Like there is no way that one classroom can define the rest of my life.

I entered the classroom to be welcomed by what seemed to be a very normal school room. There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary from a human classroom. There was a chalkboard at the front of the class with a podium. There were six sets of tables positioned like a lecture hall. Each table had three chairs at them. I made my way over and sat in the back corner of the class, farthest from the door, in the middle seat.

This is it. I wonder what we are going to start with. Hopefully the fundamentals of spells. I know dad said that I could easily use Vara and Ozija but I've never actually used them.

This is weird. Class should be starting soon so why is no one in the room besides me. Not even the teacher is here yet. Welp, I should just take out my notebook and. Now that we are on that subject. I don't have anything. No bag or notebooks. Please don't tell me that dad forgot to-

"Hi Shun!" Said the same rude girl from earlier today.

"What do you want?" I said trying to holdback a glare.

"We are in the same class. Hey do you think this seat is taken?"

"Yup it is take- and you sat down. Since we are talking, why don't you give me your name since you know mine."

"Well that's not fair. You never actually told me your name so why should I tell you mine?"

"Listen here you little-"

"Rikiwari. Rikiwari Kalaca. But you can call me Riki since we're friends." She said with a smile that sadly simmered down my anger.

"It's nice to officially meet you. Also do you know why no one else is- holy shit when did you get there!?" I said almost shitting myself.

Next to me sat another girl that was sleeping until I woke her up by yelling. She had short white hair with beautiful ocean blue eyes. She seems tiny, maybe 5'4'', which added to how cute she already was. However small, her breasts were larger than Rikiwari's.

"Oh... good morning." She said rubbing her eyes.

"If I may politely ask, since when did you get there?"

"Shunnnn. How come you are nicer to her?" Whined Rikiwari, hitting my back.

"Well for one. She isn't hitting me and for another she didn't immediately insult me."

"You two seem to be good friends."

"We are not!" I shouted. "We are!" Rikiwari shouted over me.

She giggled at our interactions with each other. I laid my head on the desk and let out a sigh.

"My name is Saki Hiromari."

"Shun Greywaltz."

Now that's a last name I don't recognize. I guess she isn't a noble then. Makes sense since we are in the misfit class. Now that I think about it. Rikiwari is a noble too.

"Hey Rikiwari, why are you in the misfit class?"

"Fear of heights, hardly retain information in the classroom, loud-" Rikiwari continued to list reasons.

"I shouldn't have asked."

"Why are you in the misfit class?" Asked Saki.

"I enrolled yesterday so they had to put me here."

"Well if that's the case then you'll probably climb out of this class quickly." Saki said almost sad, as if she was loosing a friend already.

"What about you then? Even if you aren't a noble that doesn't mean you should be here. You could at the very least be in class F."

"I sleep in class."

"That's.. That's it?"

"Yup."

I think this school might be harsher than I originally thought it was going to be. Probably means that I will be in huge trouble for the display I put on in front of everyone. I guess it can't be helped. But I think it is a little unfair if Saki can measure up but she was put here for napping in class. I guess I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she stays awake. Speak of the demon.

"Hey Saki. Wake up please, class hasn't even started yet." I said nudging her to wake up.

"HEY LOOK IT'S THE BADASS FROM THIS MORNING!" Shouted someone making all three of us jump.

I looked over at the door to see three guys walk in. The loud one that shouted had spikey yellow hair and orange eyes. He had a big scar that was on his cheek. He looked about six foot. Following behind him was a short black haired dude with bags under his eyes. His black eyes were hidden behind a glare on his glasses from the hand held console he was playing. He seemed to be around 5'10''. Behind him bending over to walk in was a 7'6'' titan of a guy. He had grey skin and wore an ancient Hannya concealing his face.

"I'm sorry, did we scare you?" Asked the yellow haired guy.

"Yes." Responded Rikiwari with a hand on her chest.

"I'm Michael. But if you want you can call me Scar."

"I'm GoblinKingSlayer68." Added the guy in glasses.

"Your real name." Said Scar bonking glasses on the head.

"Oh... Maki. This ally of our is incapable of speech. His name is Gogo."

Gogo gave a small wave. Saki and Rikiwari looked at him as if he was a massive teddy bear. While I looked at him with fear because of his size and mask.

With that being said I think this is the whole class. I don't see anyone else walking in plus the bell has already rung. So it looks like we are only waiting on the teacher. Five minutes passed then ten. While waiting I ended up falling asleep with Saki. However our nap was rudely interrupted by a large bang.

This bang was created by the teacher walking through the door. And by that I mean that there is actually a hole in the wall where the door used to be.

This teacher was three times the size of Sir Daniels. In height and in muscle mass, making him and Gogo look like children. He had red skin that was scared all over. His black eyes felt as if they were piercing your very soul. He also had orange hair that were accompanied by horns on his head that would scratch the ceiling.

"Alright listen up!" He said smacking the chalkboard breaking it in half.

Mom. Dad. I'm sorry but I think I am actually going to die this time. Like what did the school board do? Hire a demon? Okay. Saying that 'out loud' in my head I can hear how dumb that sounded.

"I am your teacher Anton. Today being the first day means that upper classes would get easy day with ice breakers. Meanwhile lower half get short pretest so teacher know what to do with students. But you are not in lower half no? You are misfit class so you get whatever I say. So pretest will be on the battle field in back of school. Go now!" Said Anton through a thick accent.

All of us left the class to go to the field but I had to run back and get Saki who fell asleep again. As we walked I noticed that I was the only person who was nervous about all of this. Is this sort of thing normal are have they always been in a misfit class? Well guessing from us going to the 'battle field' that means we are going to fight each other for a pretest. And if that's the case I hope I go up against Maki or Rikiwari.

"Since we are all here we shall now start. And I should like to thank a student for making me late to class for making commotion this morning." Anton said, obviously glaring at me.

I knew I was gonna bite the bullet for it but this early? Why me?

"To thank this hidden individual he shall go first. First match will be Gogo and Shun. Rules are that whoever says uncle or is unable to continue loses. Simple no?"

I don't know what I did in a past life to deserve this but I know that this ain't it. This is not how I die. No thank you.

Gogo and I set up on opposite sides of the field and are counted off by Anton. Once he was done that massive beast, head first burst into a sprint towards me. Immediately I tried to go for gravity manipulation. However, Gogo was too strong and was powering through it.

Great. There goes my only crutch.

He reached out his long arm to grab ahold of my face but I just barely managed to dodge. From there pointing my hand at his chest.

"Vara!"

Using Vara point blank sent me flying backwards. As I got up and the smoke cleared, Gogo stood there completely unfazed. Gogo arched his back and another set of arms sprung out of his side.

Great now I've got four arms over here that can power through my Individual Bond and is unfazed by Vara. Either I'm not putting enough power behind it or he is just way too strong.

Gogo ran at me on all six which made him move three times faster. There was no time to dodge so I propped myself up and pointed my hand out. I poured as much power I could into my hand to the point where it felt like it was burning.

"Ozija!"

A red three ringed magical circle appeared underneath my feet. Unlike when dad did it, mine had to charge up. As it charged, the magical circle turned orange and the rings began to spin in separate directions. Once it finished a bolt of energy shot out of my hand like a railgun.

Is that it? Did I do it? Maybe if all this smoke cleared I could find out.

Smoke slowly cleared from the field. Gogo was frozen in place as if that shot missed him. I stuck my hand out ready to shoot another one out.

"U.... Uncle.." Gurgled Gogo right before he collapsed onto the ground.

Hell yeah, I did it! This is fantastic! Oh if only mom and dad could see me now.

"Pfft. Bwahhahaha."

Why is Scar laughing? Is something on my face? Holy shit! It's not just my face but my whole body. Why am I tiny!?

"Awwww. You look so cute!" Squealed Rikiwari.

"Shun you look like a toddler." Said Saki, trying her best to hold in her laughter as she avoided eye contact.

Why the hell am I a toddler!?
