Chapter 27 - A ritual

Cyrus took his time to explore the secrets below Demon Human Academy, because the instructors have reported some weird noises at night. When Cyrus approached a large door that was sealed shut, a large eye suddenly glared back at Cyrus, but he chose to ignore it. It then teleported next to him, but before Cyrus could take a good look around, it was gone.

"No risks needed." Cyrus said softly.

He grabbed the phone from his pocket to call his crew because he needed some closed signs

that told trespassers that this was restricted area. He tried to make the sign as scary as possible so people would not simply it. "That should be good" He thought to himself. Sometime later, Cyrus crew came with the sign. 

"So how exactly did this school shut down?" one asked.

"I heard about much of the rumors. One that demons took over. One that it wasn't a

 real school. Do you believe them?" one crew member asked.

Cyrus lifted one of the books that lied by his side. He brushed dust from the cover.

He was so close to the truth about the supernatural.

[Mehatto clan]

Mehatto! His dad called.

Mehatto's dad whistled for a few students to show up. 

"Have you seen Mehatto?" he asked.The students shook their heads.

It was already 11 pm at night, but still no sign of Mehatto. He did not like that he was gone this late. He told his students to be wary of what they see or hear. It was also unusual for Mehatto to disappear without a word. If the person Mehatto mentioned was really that powerful, then being out this late was especially dangerous. They would have to strategize their way of combat. He thought that the reason Mehatto left was probably because he was upset that some of their students were kidnapped today. Surely, he would come home eventually. He apologized to his students first before he left to search for Mehatto alone. He wasn't scared of the dark, because his knowledge of the surrounded area far surpassed the rest. The only fear on his shoulders were the powerful monsters that were stronger than him. That's why he ordered his students to go back to bed, so they wouldn't be put in danger.

The three demons who stood by Ikke continued to pray for The Demon King, the one who had already lost. But they didn't care, for this was their only way to survive. Suddenly 

a screen flickered to life, but the one who showed up was just the undisputed demon disciple called Xion. 

"What do you want?! I am doing something really important right now!" He shouted.

The three demons backed away with Ikke clearly terrified of Xion.

"I told you we shouldn't have tried this!" one of them silently said.

"Well, are you not going to speak loudly so I can hear?!" Xion shouted louder.

Xion was a powerful demon who only challenged those who were strong. All he saw at the front

were three puny demons with their fake leader. Ikke cleared his throat to speak, "What could

possibly be more important than this ritual?" Xion spun his screen to show the armored man with a halberd.

Then the screen started to flicker more and more until connection was lost.

The three demons and Ikke looked at each other. 

"Let's talk about this. Xion isn't from this world, is he?" one of the demons said.

"No way he could be unless he is one of the demons who could travel between different worlds.

 What I need to know is why he thinks I'm a fake leader. I'm perfectly capable of being a 

 leader. That's how I managed to kidnap our friend over here." Ikke gestured to Mehatto.

 Mehatto tries to speak, but to the demons, his voice was muted. Now that they had Mehatto, 

 that meant that they had one of the keys needed to enter the real world. The seal that kept Mehatto trapped would unlock one of the seals to the real world. It might not be powerful enough to let Xion or the armored man with a halberd through, but it would at the least let Ikke or his friends to cross.

 Meanwhile Xion who was teaming up with the armored man with a halberd. , didn't care about the

 ritual that they were doing. True he was sealed away, but the person he was sealed away with

 was none other than the armored man with a halberd. and honestly they became best friends.

 As a matter of fact, they were willing to team up, something that the DEATHKNIGHTS or the supernatural could do. This was the closest thing to that. A demon and someone who was 

 willing to risk their life to seal that same demon now teaming up is unheard of. Since they

 had so much time to spare, they often sparred with each other. Xion would get to try out the Armored man's armor, and Xion would eventually learn how to wield a wooden halberd, but eventually after months of training with a halberd, he understood that weapon was not for him. 

The armored man with a halberd raised his weapon a sign that he had won yet again. Xion asked

 for a rematch. He couldn't accept losing now, not when he was so close to winning that time.

 He charged forward, but the armored man with a halberd. imply dodged him as he flew past, and

 then proceeded to taunt him for the fun of it. Xion kept his attacks coming, never growing 

 tired despite his soul being sealed.
