A day as regular and as mundane as the last,quickly morphed into everyone's world changing completely. Their fate which was safe,is now as deadly as not being white in a horror movie. "Prepare for people to die,for you to have to make sacrifices.Betrayal may even become normal. Since,everything's fair in love and war."

  Kurogame was...a strange person. He loves getting into fights. He has fought every teacher in the school except the principal.And he beat them easily. If you end up fighting him,it's because he either 1)respects you,or 2)hates you. So it's a love-hate relationship.

  He usually gets to school early. He's not the earliest but,he's usually 3rd to come into class or really anything. Though people might call him insane,he thinks his insane plans through before showing people them.

  However,when he arrived at class that day,it was empty. No one in sight. All that was left was a note saying to go to the gym. He kept the note in his pocket as a joke and proceeded to go to the gym,

  Once he got to the gym,surprisingly,everyone was already there.

  "Hey,Kurogame."

"Hi,teach.Why are we all in the gym?"

"I want to use you for an exercise demonstration. Do you mind?"

"Not at all."

"How kind." Tomoe said before walking to Kurogame. "Everyone.Do you remember I asked you if you believed in magic?"

Everyone replied yeah.Except Monzu because he's a little piece of-.

  "Well,magic is most definitely real." He said as he was right in front of Kurogame. "Mr. Kurogame give me an element."

"Fire?"

He then punched Kurogame so quickly that he didn't even notice he was punched until a few seconds later. When he realized what happened he was surprised he wasn't dead. "Wh-Who...who are you?"

  "Tomoe Se Fa-" Tomoe wasn't able to finish his sentence when he appeared right in front of him and tried to kick his face. Tomoe bent backwards and when he pushed himself up he accidentally headbutted Kurogame. Both of them,obviously,said ow. But Tomoe shouted, "Everyone!Run!"

  Tomoe started running as Kurogame ran after him. Tomoe turned around,trying to trip him,but instead, got punched. Tomoe was punched over and over again until he kicked Kurogame to the other side of the gym.

They both ran at each other and Kurogame quickly ran to his bag-pack and took out a military knife while Tomoe took off his coat and threw it at him. Soma -while running- saw the weapon strapped to Tomoe's back. Kurogame tried to take it off but he felt too hot. The pain made him struggle harder so it took him longer to take off the coat. Once he took off the coat,the burning sensation that was on his body went away.

  Kurogame was scared but without hesitation he tried to stab Tomoe. Tomoe grabbed the knife and threw it so hard so that it would get stuck to the ceiling. "You're too weak.." said Tomoe dodging Kurogame's constant punches. "You won't say that when you lose!"

  Tomoe grabbed his right arm,then his left. Kurogame smiled and Tomoe let go and jumped to the other side of the room. Tomoe was on all fours and stared at him with dead seriousness. "You.."

"You think I'm strong now?"

As Kurogame's question echoed around the room,everyone began to look at Tomoe's hands. The lights were going out and the only light was coming from Tomoe's right hand. His hand was ablaze. He charged at Kurogame. Kurogame was sent flying and there was now an indent at the wall. "You're too weak for now. Stay in my class and I can make the weak strong. I can make the strong stronger. If you're weak willed,you're not allowed in my class." Tomoe said while he went to turn on the lights. Everyone was blinded but,they did see Kurogame standing up. Tomoe continued his speech with,

  "Do you understand why the principal gave you guys to me?"

Everyone looked at each other and realized they have nothing similar to each other. Some were ripped while others were...like a dried prune. But even dried prunes can be useful. -I think...not a great analogy- Some were smart,scoring straight A's while others scored straight F's.

  Tomoe interrupted their train of thought with, "You guys have magic." and everyone fell silent. "Though technically not magic,magic is a good way of simplifying it-"

Kyoji went up to Tomoe while he was talking and said, "I thought you were a teacher I could respect but,you're just insane."

  "Eh?You don't believe me?"

  "MAGIC ISN'T REAL!"

  "Then...follow me."

  Tomoe walked through the gym's side doors to the field and disappeared. Everyone then ran out to see what happened and they couldn't find their teacher anywhere. "Look up,guys!"

They looked up and saw their teacher waving at them,from 5 stories up. Kyoji was ecstatic. Speechless. Anything to say he was surprised,would fit with this situation. So add more words,I don't know,confused. He was confused.

Tomoe jumped down and everyone felt a huge gust of wind moving outward in a circle from Tomoe. The wind was so powerful it was pushing them. Otome even fall. Tomoe landed perfectly fine and asked, "If you believe me now,continue to stay in my class. If you don't then,you may leave this insane person's class if you'd like."

  The sun was already starting to set and Tomoe panicked. "It's already this late?!Okay!Everyone!Hurry back home before your parents worry! I have to get home soon too." He quickly grabbed his bag and just as he was about to leave,his coat was thrown at him. "You don't want to forget this,do you?"

"Heh,thanks Kurogame!" Tomoe shouted as he ran back home.

The class that day,had found,a different kind of respect for their teacher. To some,was actual respect. To others,it was hope,hope of,breaking a mundane life and turning it into...An Ethereal Fantasy.

  When Suine Otome -the boy who was playing an...interesting game to say the least- got back home,all his life was drained. He fainted at the door. His parents heard a loud thud and ran there immediately. They saw Otome fast asleep. They brought him to his room and decided to ask him what happened the next day.

  Otome got up,showered,did all of the usual things you have to do. However,when he started eating,his dad asked him a question. "You fainted at the front door. Did something happen yesterday?"

   "I did?Heh,heh,heh..."

  "DON'T AVOID THE QUESTION!" Otome's usual mild-mannered father shouted at him. A rare thing for his father to do. "If you're being bullied,you can tell us."

  "Bullied?No!I'm not! It's just that our teacher gave a really big surprise yesterday. I don't think I'll be able to handle any more surprises of any type for a while..." Otome replied still sounding like he ran a marathon.

  "Oh. Sorry I shouted,heh." His father said slightly embarrassed. "Well,to calm yourself down,wanna eat at Nobu?"

  "Nobu?! Isn't that place super expensive?"

His mother replied with, "You know,we have been saving up for it." which his father said happily, "Just think of it as an early birthday!" and Otome was of course happy. He just played some game 'till it was time to go.

  Otome wore the fanciest clothes he had and they all went out as soon as the sun had went down.

When they arrived,they were immediately seated and they all ordered right away.

  "This place is really fancy." said Otome. It was fancy.

Otome asked if he could look around,and just as he stood up he heard, "Otome?" the voice was creepily familiar.

  "T-T-T-Teacher Tomoe?!"

  "Teacher?" His parents somehow asked in unison and looked in Otome's direction. They saw a man in a burnt coat,wearing a top hat and also wearing a pocket-watch like a necklace. Of course,he was wearing other things but those were the things that stood out the most.

"Are you his siblings?" asked Tomoe.

"Oh no,we're his parents. How kind." replied his mother.

"Oh! Well nice to meet you then. Hey Otome."

"Is there something wrong Teacher Tomoe?"

Tomoe looked at him angrily and said, "I thought...I told you not to call me teacher!" while tickling Otome. 

"O...Okay,Tomoe please stop!" He did.

  "Heh,well,it was nice to meet you all,bye."

"Eh? Leaving so early?" asked Otome's father. "Did we disturb you?"

"Nah. It's just that I was supposed to meet someone but it seems as though she's not coming."

  Otome immediately came to the conclusion that someone had ghosted him on a date but his father took a while and asked, "Can I get you a drink? We'd like to ask you a few things. A parent-to-teacher talk"

"Hmm? A hot chocolate then,with extra sugar." replied Tomoe right before sitting down next to Otome.

  Their food arrived so it took them a while to start asking questions however,when Tomoe's drink arrived they were ready.

  "You don't mind if we rapid fire them,right?" asked Otome's father.

"Not at all."

"Okay...how old are you?"

"19."

"So young..." The parents took one turn after another asking questions.

"I noticed you asked for extra sugar,you like sweets?"

"Extremely. It also seems you're mother is the meticulous type,Otome."

"I heard that Otome's in a special class. Why?"

"That class is for people the principal chose specially for me. He sees potential and brings them to me"

"So Otome has potential?For what?"

"To bring in a greater future."

"Where did you study?"

"You wouldn't know."

"I know cartography better than anyone else."

"You still wouldn't be able to find it."

"Why is your coat burnt?"

"An...accident happened." Tomoe's tone became slightly sad and Otome noticed it.

"You're not dangerous are you?"

"I am when need be."

"Will you protect Otome?"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I'll protect all of my students."

"Heh,good answer."

"Is that everything you want to ask?"

"Yeah. Thanks for answering all of them and sorry to bother you."

"Not at all. Thanks for the drink. By the way,Otome?"

"Umm,yes Tomoe?"

"On Monday,bring a pillow or two. You might need it for gym class." Otome got scared and all he could reply was, "O...Okay."

"See you on Monday!"
