Chapter 5 - Study Hall
That's right. Why would they help me?
Chester grinned and then gestured towards me.
Chester Brace
If she dies or otherwise gets exposed? I'll expel every single one of you on the spot.
That seemed to have ruffled their feathers. I guess that this school must be precious to them.
Helping me out of bed, Chester smiled right at me.
Chester Brace
For starters, I'd better tutor you on the Devil's World History and some rules that devils must follow. Come with me.
I don’t really have a choice. Besides... I feel like he’s just made my so-called protectors hate me.
I followed closely after him and just as I left, I caught a glimpse of the coldest one of the five.
His eyes... were as icy as a glacier. Yet there was this unspoken warmth about them.
I followed after Chester. As I walked behind him, passing by students wearing the same clothes that I was. They are all devils. Devils that eat humans like me up for breakfast. Literally.
Chester Brace
Don't worry. That earring is a high-level concealment charm. No one, not even I, could sense your human scent when you are wearing it.
I guess that offers me some relief. Hopefully, devils aren’t cannibals. For the time being, I feel like I’ll have to hit the books and learn what this place really is.
Chester escorted me to a huge room filled to the brim with diverse books and immediately, my heart was stolen away.
Chester Brace
No one goes to this library anymore so I’ve made it my private study. For the next few days, you should stay in here. Spend your time wisely and make sure to read a lot on Demonic law and rules that we’ve got to abide to.
Luckily for me, studying is my expertise! I then ran to the bookshelf and slowly started to look through each book until I found one to my fancy.
Immediately, I started to read but realised that this wasn’t my language. Figures...
With Chester gone, I guess that I had to improvise. After hours of trying to figure out the language, I had gained the basics with the help of a dictionary I had found on Chester’s desk.
It was in demonic writing but with the help of the alphabet, I soon figured out which symbol meant what.
It was only a matter of time before I could read it fluently. There were a lot of rules and regulations that I had to learn, not to mention the student handbook was as big as a thesaurus.
All while I was studying away, the five guys that I had met earlier were at their private dorm, sitting around the fire occupying themselves.
Caspian Elysse
That little girl is probably bored out of her mind. What was Chester thinking, sending her into a library. She’s human, isn’t she? How is she going to understand our language?
Rhys Covey
Why should we care? Because of that human girl, we've got to be around her 24/7. It disgusts me.
Caspian Elysse
At least she's cute though.
Rhys then looked at Percy, who was flicking through an old book.
Rhys Covey
What are you doing?
Percy Steele
Looking for an answer as to why little miss human is in our realm. So far, no luck. If there was a prophecy about it, they must have buried it.
Calvin, or more commonly known as Cal, got up from the couch and walked towards the door.
Rhys Covey
Where are you off to, Cal?
He stopped and looked back at his friends with a blank stare.
Cal Bentley
None of your business.
And just like that, he disappeared from the common room, roaming the halls like an icy ghost.
