Destiny

"But, isn't it kind of weird for a man to be named Lilith?"

The guard, while leading us to the principle's room, asked a question.

"Actually, that's a sh-"

"I-It's because my parents mistoke me for a girl when I was born, so I was stuck with that name."

"Lilith" quickly covered Nayari's mouth and talked.

"Huh...So that could happen as well..."

The guard thought for a bit before continuing leading the way.

"Hey, you're sure about this?"

Nayari whispered to "Lilith".

"It was you that said I looked like a boy!"

"I didn't expect you to actually play along though! Also didn't you just assume to be someone who didn't arrive for school today?"

"But...my name is really Lilith..."

"Eh?"

A coincident?

No.

Perhaps the principle had also anticipated her coming as well?

He tried to think of a reason but came up with none.

"Oi. We've arrived." The guard's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"A-Ah! Thank you for your help."

He grabbed onto the doorknob, but did not immidiately open it.

He had visited this school many times, but not once did he see the principle.

Who could this person be?

He slowly opened the door.

Facing him was a woman.

She had a beautiful silky white hair, and yellow eyes.

He could felt intense pressure coming from her.

She somehow felt familiar to him, by reminding him of a person.

The air went silent for a second before she spoke up.

"You must be Nayari! Come! Please, sit down!"

She suddenly ran up toward Nayari, catching him off guard.

The heavy air were quickly dissipated.

"You can leave now, Mr.Guard."

"Yes."

After he had left, she switched her attention to Lilith, who was hiding behind Nayari.

"And you...you're more interesting than I'd thought."

"Eh?"

"Come, sit down. I want to have a talk with both of you."

---

"First of all, I'd like to thank you for helping one of our teachers recover from her illness."

She spoke to Nayari.

"I'm grateful to hear that."

"Ah, where's my manners? My name is Niel, the principle of this school."

"I've a question."

"Hmm?"

"How did you anticipate Lilith's coming?"

From what he had seen and felt, she wasn't a simple person.

"How? Let's just say that it was a feeling, I guess?"

"..."

"And also, that boy...no, that girl over there, is a demon, isn't it?"

"!!!!"

Lilith, who hadn't spoke a thing since, had a shocked look on her face.

"How...?!"

Like he thought, she wasn't a simple person at all.

She somehow managed to see through both her disguise as a boy, and as a human as well.

"But, I will not do anything."

"Eh?"

"Beside, having a demon student isn't a bad thing. It's more interesting this way."

Interesting?

What is interesting about a person from another country blending into the place where they trains warriors and sorcerers, unknowning if they are a spy or not?

"But, if your identity as a demon is exposed, you're going to be chased and killed. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Lilith nodded her head.

"And one more thing..."

"?"

The principle seemed to have endured something.

Nayari, who was sitting opposite of her, was suddenly grabbed ahold of and pressed his head onto her breasts.

"You're so cute! You look much cuter than what the other teachers described!"

"Wha-wha-wha-what are you doing?!" Lilith, who was sitting next to him, blushed hard.

But Nayari had nothing of that sort on his face.

Because the feeling of "embarassment" has already lost to him.

He can no longer feel anything such as lust or shamefulness.

Or more correctly, he had lost the desire for them.

But because of that his way of thinking is also different from others.

"Mrs.Niel, please release me. It's hard to breath."

"But...Mou...Fine."

---

After their conversation, they were led by a teacher toward their class.

The teacher opened the door and yelled, "Everyone, silent! Today, we'll be having two new students joining our class. Please, introduce yourself."

Nayari quickly swept his eyes around the class.

There, he found three people that caught his eyes.

An orange-hair boy with eyes glimmering like sapphires, filled with dream and potentials.

A blonde girl with golden eyes, her long hair was beautiful like gold that were made into strands, and her front bangs curled into large coils. Whoever see her would not be able to resist being enchanted by her beauty

And another girl whose hair sparkled like emerald that was tied into twin ponytails, with eyes like emerald. Unlike the blonde girl which emitted a feeling of brashness, her was more calm.

And that green-hair girl was someone he knew.

He had never expected to meet her again, here of all the places.

His childhood friend, Hildagea.
