Breakfast With Villains

Amos just woke up and took a cold morning shower. He got dressed, because Liang told him to get ready at sunrise for a meeting with the two Queens. Amos wore a soft blue shirt and short brown pants which Liang gave to him. He then heard knocking on his wooden door, and he opened it.

"Good morning, Amos, " said Liang.

"Good morning..."

Liang then replied, "Let's go, have you eaten breakfast?"

"—No."

"Okay, not a problem. There is food at the castle of chaos. Let's go, " Liang approached the castle, and Amos pursued, "Thank you for waking up in time. Usually, I would have to taunt my comrades for them to leave their beds."

They then arrived at the gate to the castle.

They caught the guard's attention, "Liang, Sir! Who is that elf beside you!?"

"Ohh, this is my new comrade—Amos."

"Doesn't sound like a villain name to me..."

Liang entered the Kingdom without answering him, "Come on, Amos..."

The guard glared at Amos with high suspicions as he entered. They then made their way upstairs and to the kitchen. At the dinner sat Liang's comrades and many strange faces. The dinner table itself was seemingly constructed to accommodate thirty people in total, but only Liang's team and a few other people sat there.

"Go ahead, Amos, have a seat, " obstructed Liang as he walked to the royal kitchen.

Amos then walked up to the dinner table and sat down next to a girl with brown hair. The girl then strangely looked at him and their eyes met. It was a staring game to see who looks away first. Amos did not care at all, he obliviously stared into her soul, neglecting the fact that she could have been a royal.

After a few seconds of staring, the girl looked away and Amos decided to do the same. The once lively table had become silent as soon as Amos had entered the room. Everyone kept shooting glimpses at him. And he quickly extrapolated that the dinner table consisted of mainly female accommodates, leaving only a few men.

Liang then returned, and sat down at the table with a glass of red liquid. Amos looked at the glass as Liang twiddled it, and had smelt the same intimate fresh scent — Blood. Liang then finished the glass and put it on the table.

"Everyone, this is Amos, Amos, this is everyone, " introduced Liang.

"Who is this 'Amos' exactly?" asked the man beside Liang.

Liang looked at Amos, "He is my latest recruit—

A stranger interrupted, "A recruit? How? Don't tell me he is your comrade!"

"He is, and his future seems very promising."

An old man with brown skin then asked, "How old are you, boy?"

Amos looked at the man, "I am ten years old..."

The old man then strangely looked at Liang and shook his head in dismay. He then glanced back to Amos, "And where are you from, Amos?"

"Gropsville..."

The old man looked at Liang again, and left the table.

"Amos, the person in the red and black cloak is the principal of Monster Academy, Sir Johnson."

Sir Johnson looked at Amos, "Hello young man, "

His voice was scary deep...

"We'll be having an interview with you after you breakfast, " He looked at the maid as she brought the dishes to the table, "Oo, speaking of breakfast, it's already here, my pleasure to be here with you all."

Sir Johnson stared at Liang as he was given an iron fork, "Liang, how is your team here alone? What about the many other teams Queen Suzy possesses at her command?"

Suzy entered, "That does not concern you..."

"Speaking of the devil!"

The people giggled.

Someone audibly muttered, "Hypocrite."

Suzy gained ferocity, "Who, who said that!?"

They laughed again.

Her head was steaming hot, she slammed her hand on the table, "THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT WILL BE DOWN TO ZERO HEADS LEFT ATTACHED TO THEIR BODY! Then, I'll CAST A SPELL THAT'll CAUSE THE PERSON TO BE IMMORTAL FOR A WEEK, and like a CANNIBLE, I'll GROW MY MOUTH TO AN INHUMAN EXTENT AND SWALLOW HIS HEAD WHOLE, AND LET MY ENZYMES BREAK YOU DOWN WHILST YOU SUFFER IN MY STOMACH! Not done there, NEXT, I EXCRETE, TAKE THE DROPPINGS ALONG WITH HIS BODY AND LEECHES, AND GRIND IT TO MAKE SOME BLOODY LEECH SOUP—I THEN FEED THAT BLOOD SHIT FLAVOURED SOUP TO ALL WHO LAUGHED!"

Everyone became silent.

"LAUGH! Was THAT NOT FUNNY!?"

"Suzy please calm down, " said, Sir Johnson, "I know you are a Queen of Chaos and all, but being so grumpy all the time will make you ugly."

Suzy sat at the table.

Everyone then started to eat. There were several dishes, most of them were to be considered a dish for a cannibal, and some were quite normal. Liang ate human limbs, Suzy ate fingers and Amos ate pork — exclusively ordered for him by Liang. As Amos took another bite from his delicious cooked pork, Liang cheerfully winked at him and smiled.

The others are normal cooked meat. The girl next to Amos kept glimpsing at him as he ate, which made him a bit uncomfortable. Amos also noticed that Chizuko was at the table as well. Chizuko kept blushing and staring at Suzy as she ate. Suzy ate rather slowly, being formal, and she had not a single piece of food around her mouth. In her plate rested fingers, perhaps human fingers, and she also had small pieces of barbecue chicken — a small eater. Chizuko did not touch his food until Suzy caught him looking at her.

Sasuki, Nataly, Natan, Joseph — They were all present at the table. Natalie was fed a glass of fresh blood from her brother. Natan, who was once blind without his glasses, did not wear his other pair of eyes at all. Arley, Liang's not-so-secret admirer, also sat at the table near Liang. She seemed rather jovial than normal.

After several chomping and chewing, everyone had consumed their beverages and dishes. They were then brought a barrel of wine as well as desert by the maid. The large wooden wine barrel was carefully passed along the table for all the alcoholics to get their mundane of alcohol consumption. The first person to take from the barrel was an old man who already looked drunken. The old man poured the wine from the barrel into two of his wine glasses, ensuring that he had enough. Amos then passed the wine barrel to the girl next to him, for he was too young to consume alcohol.

Next, everyone was given a slice of the huge strawberry cake. For Amos, this kind of meal could have been adequate to be one for a royal party, whereas it was only the royal's daily breakfast. After consuming the cake, someone announced "Discussion Time, " and all of the voices were promptly unmuted.

"Guys, there was this time I saw a goat. That stupid goat followed me all the way home. So I offered the poor thing some food. It enjoyed the meat, even though it was raw. I kept feeding it the meat. Then I threw a fellow goat's head for it to eat, it realized that it was eating its own children and it just looked at me! AH HA HA AH HA!"

They laughed at his dark-humor.

"Where is Queen Catra?"

"I think she's in an important meeting."

"Anyone wanna see my scars?"

As the others spoke, the brown-haired girl then asked, "Hey, my name is Sally, what's your name again?"

Amos looked at her, "My name is Amos. Nice to meet you, Sally."

She used her index finger to play with her hair.

Liang stood as Sir Johnson stood, "Amos, follow us."

Amos followed the men to another unoccupied room. Sir Johnson then stopped and they both looked at Amos.

"Pleasure to meet you, Amos, " He shook hands with Amos, "Liang told me that you can utilize and seemingly absorb dark mana, Is this true? Can you?"

"Yes, yes I can."

"What else can you do?"

"That is my specialty, mana absorption."

"Oh, are you interested in becoming stronger?"

"Yes again."

"Your eyes, I see nothing in them. Have you recently Dark-gloomed?"

"Yeah."

"What about your monstrosity?"

"Why is all of these questions necessary?"

"Come on, Amos, " said Liang, "Don't be rude, this is an interview. Be respectful to the gentleman and there's a high chance of you achieving your goals with his assistance."

"Goals of villainy, " those words accidentally came from his mind and slipped out of his mouth.

Sir Johnson continued, "What is your motivation?"

"I don't know, " replied Amos.

"When you dark-gloomed, what was the first thing that came to your mind?"

"I'm not sure, I can't remember."

"Were you angry when you dark-gloomed?"

"No, I felt empty, still feeling empty."

"Whats the only thing on your mind?"

"Becoming stronger."

"Amos, " he looked at Liang and looked back at Amos, "Would you like to come to Monster Academy at your stay?"

Amos couldn't decide.

"If you come, we'll guarantee you a significant increase in strength."

Amos looked Liang. Liang nodded his head with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll come."

Liang cheerfully pat him on the back, "That's my boy! I'll go get you the school uniform, and by the way, our nightly training sessions are not going on a hiatus. You'll have Monster Academy Training, as well as training from captain Liang — Awesome! Let's go, what are you waiting for? Time to go Monster Academy!"
