It really has been a routine existence in the Evil Academy lately, ever since Mao defeated the Super Hero Auram and basically became the new Dean of the school (and in the process the Overlord as well), things have been strangely quiet as of late...well as quiet as a school full of evil demons can be anyways. At least in their sense, there was the usual ditching of class, learning how to backstab and basically be the evil beings they were meant to be by nature.Surely a place such as this, which is sometimes regarded as 'the root of all evil in the netherworld' hasn't any business being so quiet and uneventful, well things may take a change for the better as we begin this tale...let's watch shall we?
-Somewhere within the School (there's really no telling where, being it constantly expands)...-
"Geeze, it sure has been boring around here" Sighed a martial artist, as he lazily strolled through the halls his hands behind his head and a bored look in his sharp eyes. It would appear so being he has been wandering these halls for more than a couple hours, of course he himself hasn't been keeping track of exactly how many hours he's been roaming about...Math isn't really his best subject anyways. "When is something gonna happen already, I'm just itchin' to test my new 'Blazing Tiger Flame Punch' on someone!"
"I don't know, Ojisama, I sort of like it this way~" Came the soft of Ojisama's sole pupil, Niku. However she was a female warrior who had appearantly wanted to study how to use fists rather than her swords. And even though she was enthusiastic about her training, she was rather terrible one in terms of skills, often screwing up on her techniques or forgetting how to perform them, although her terrible skill is backed by amazing luck in which case whenever she screws up something good may come out of her own mistake. It has happened more than once during her time spent in the Academy, and has given her the title of 'Uber Jynx'. Despite this, she still considers Ojisama her greates rival even though he has no title to speak of for himself. "But, if it's action you want then I've heard that there's a new club that an Honor Student had started not too long ago, I'm thinking about asking Kyoko-senpai if she's joining."
"Eh? Since when did an Honor Student start a club...and more importantly why, haven't I heard anything about it?..." Ojisama answered in a tone of surprise as he stopped for a few moments and stared at Niku who shook her head and tried not to laugh at her friend's obvious stupidity on the matter...Ojisama falls true into the archetype of being physically powerful but mentally incompetent, often not paying much attention to his surroundings or using his impulse alone to go through problems which usually only make things alot worse than normal.
"That's because you hardly pay attention to anything, Knucklehead" Niku teased as she knocked on his forehead with the back of her knuckle, hollow 'conk' sound emitting from Ojisama's head as she did so. It would appear that there's almost nothing inside Ojisama's head except vacant space...and perhaps a brain as well if you want to be in denial of the situation. "Honestly, Ojisama it's been all over the Academy, I don't see how you could miss something like this..."
The Martial artist simply shrugged as he gave his follower a blunt answer "Well, I'm not too big on rumors, they're only a waste of time."
"Actually it's more of a fact than it is a rumor..."
"It is!? Since when!?" Ojisama jumped back as if this was something he had just heard...which it wasn't.
"Whatever...Let's just go find them already..."
--------------
It didn't take much to find the demons both Ojisama and Niku were looking for, it was fairly easy to predict where they were, most demons (when not in their classes) usually congregate in the main area of the school. In the main area there were always a variety of monsters to marvel (or grimace) at, most from different grades and rankings, occasionally some legendary students like Honor Students or Class Reps stop by usually to rall their cronies to come with them to Homeroom or something of the like. But, mostly they usually only showed up to show off just how much of a big shot they were compared to the lower ranking students.
"Hey, Kyoko*-senpai~" Niku mused as she trotted over to the pink clad ninja demoness. Niku had admired Kyoko ever since she first met her during the Mao's fight with Rasberyl but, when asked as to why she admired her so, Niku refused to speak of the matter claiming it was a secret. Being Niku refused to speak on the matter most simply believed it was a passive form of breast envy(?)
Female Warriors are, in fact, flat...
"Ah, Miss Niku, good to see you again" Kyoko said with a smile (although you couldn't really due to that face mask and all), she then took notice of Ojisama lazily following behind the, obviously more energetic, Female Warrior. "Hm? Sir Ojisama, you came too?"
"Yeah, got kinda bored wandering around doin' nothin'." Ojisama yawned as he dug his pinky deep into his ear.
Niku looked around and noticed the area was short one Rasberyl and one Asuka, something that was rare within itself. "Huh? Where are Rasberyl-sama and Asuka-senpai, aren't they going to check out that club too?"
"They're on their way from buying supplies for the trip to the club" Kyoko answered "Sir Zerik here agreed to lead us to the clubroom, being we don't really know where it is" Kyoko pointed to a Battle Master who sat on the stairs, his large Demon Smasher at his side. Zerik had various scars on his naked chest and shoulders, proof of the many battles in the past he had to endure, even his crimson bandanna showed wear and tear as the end of it was singed and blackened as if someone had set it on fire recently.
Zerik used to fight along side Mao (just like Ojisama and Niku) as well, before everything was resolved in the end, that is. After which Zerik simply wandered around the school doing things to his liking and leisure, many of his close acquantices never heard from him since then. Some even thought that he had actually died somewhere within the Academy. "How's it goin'?" He greeted "It's been a long while hasn't it, I can't even remember the last time I saw you two..."
"Eh? You're joining too Zerik?" Ojisama inquired to the seasoned Battle Master who shook his head solemnly in return.
"Not really, I'm not that big of a club guy so I'd rather remain a freelancer." Zerik stated before he smirked and glanced at Ojisama "But I'll keep an eye on things though, Honor Students can be pretty brutal on new recruits, and we don't even know why this guy even founded this new club either" If one couldn't see it, then it was obvious that Zerik was hiding his interest of this mysterious club by pretending to be their body gaurds, in all honesty this was possiby the sole reason he agreed to lead them there...because he was interested in the club to begin with. If you wanted to join Zerik, there's no reason to hide it behind false senses of security.
"Indeed, but the mystery of it all is what makes the club so appealing." The pink kunoichi stated matter of factly. "But, for right now we could wait for Lady Berly and Asuka to return or we could go by ourselves, I told them I would send Sir Zerik back to get them if I did decide to go by myself."
