When the teacher finally calmed down she looked upon me closely for the first time. Before she had never payed me much mind. I was a disturbance. She was a teacher, it was her duty to get rid of the disturbance.Though, if she had paid slightly more attention to me she would have realized sooner who I was. Still when she finally saw my mark up close it finally dawned on her.

"So your Death?" She said Bluntly. "I had heard you were an unsociable child who killed his first teacher." I could not mistake a hint of pain in the voice when she said this. Perhaps she knew Jon.

"Yes, Beautiful Sis." I smiled. " You are all the first friends I have made. Everyone else is really afraid of me." I said the last bit in a grieved voice.

"Why did you kill him?" She asked in a more personal tone.

My real answer would have definitely been "Because he was a Bitch." But I knew that would probably upset her. So I thought about it for a second. What would a child my age possibly say was their reason for killing an adult?

"I didn't mean to kill him. I just didn't want him to hurt me anymore." I made my eyes water a little. "Next thing I know he wasn't moving." I let a few tears fall dawn my face and wiped them slowly adding to the deception.

She seemed slightly moved. I even felt a little bad for lying to her. But don't be mistaken, I wasn't feeling guilt. I was disappointed that as of right now I had to use a mask to hide my true thoughts. I had to hide my maturity for doing everything. It made things easier. Sure. But it goes against the grain to act younger than you really are.

I wasn't even through puberty yet. Imagine what I will do when my hormones go fucking with my mind.

"It's alright. You did what many others wished they could do" She paused for a moment.

"Jon and I were once close.But I do not blame you." She said low enough for only my ears.

"I'm sorry. Sis."

She smiled one of those smiles that stays with you.Though not with me. I had seen that kind of smile many, many times before. I have never had what you would call a true love. That's fictional. I had killed far to many people to ever believe in notions like those.

I even killed a few lovers. Not in cold blood of course. They were assassin's I knew, they just didn't know I knew. Killers seem to think their the best until they die. Point being I'm no exception. This time though. I have a healthy body. I would not allow failure this time.

"My name is Scarlet Treboine. Francis told me you might be coming but I have been distracted lately." She said. "Go take a seat. You can choose whatever seat you would like since you are a special student." She resumed her teacher like behavior and tone. Completely leaving no trace of her previous behavior.

I nodded.

"Sis, if you want. You can call me Sun." I said before I walked away and picked up my bag and put away my dagger.

I only told her to call me 'Sun' since I didn't want this classroom to come to fear me. Many had already seen my mark and probably heard my name. I couldn't let them think that I was some sort of monster. It had not even been a week since I killed that bastard.

I surely didn't tell her to call me Sun because it would make her see me as a different being than the child called Death. Nope. I definitely did not do that because she was still upset. Never. I'm not that kind. I always do things because it benefits me the most.

You could say the students had been watching the teacher and I but the interaction itself was generally very short. Only a few had even heard my name. I had not said things so loudly as I had before. I knew how to play the game and right now wasn't the time. I was here to learn about magic. Not scout out potential future romances. I was only six. Even I knew I was only so great.

I made my way up to a seat on the back row. The students had calmed down and nodded at me as I made my way up. I saw more than a few friendly smiles some that were even a little naughty. I shivered when I saw one girl licked her lips. I loved women but I wasn't a rapist. But can a woman actually rape a man if they are beautiful? I pondered the thought as I sat far above everyone else.

There were only two more students on my row. They seemed a little stunned that I could sit there I didn't understand but it must have something to do with my status as a special student. I focused my attention back to the teacher. I wanted to imagine the things I could do to her. But I could do that later. I was here to learn.

"Enough is enough. We have lessons to get to before we begin does anyone have a question about today's lesson?" The teacher began.

A female two rows below my own raised her hand. She was not what you would call pretty but her face was peculiar it had a unique attractive nature that made you want to study it.

"Why is little brother sitting at the 8th row?" She said while peering up at me.

I only smiled at this as I tried to feign ignorance. It would not do me well to have others jealous of me.

I also heard a few other students voicing similar concerns.

"Little brother's" She said with emphasis," real name is Sun."

"He has been given the Special status for multiple reasons. Not only is he extremely talented but also his sponsor is high ranking individual of Aleron."

"Then why did you force him to fight the golem earlier if you knew who he was?" the girl continued.

"Sun is also the child everyone has started to call Death" She said.

I heard a gasp from a few places in the room. I could already see a few glances thrown my way in fear but also anger.

"Just great." I thought.

"Isn't Death that crazy eyed child who laughed manically as he killed Instructor Jon?

Wait I had laughed? Crazily? I can't remember that.

"Didn't he also horribly scar one of the nannies of the nursery when he was only three years old?"

"Supposedly she can't even go near children now without passing out from fear."

How did I do that?

"But worst of all he is supposedly Celebratory Francis's only student?"

I could see a group shudder makes its way through the students.

I admit he is probably a bastard and I don't really like him but really how could he be that bad?

I need to speak up before my hard work is ruined.

Too late.

"Do you all really think this adorable little boy right here could actually do all of those things?" I felt two fresh mounds touch my face. They were absolutely the best. I could hear the conservation continue as I was suffocating in a tight hug of pure joy.

"Exactly. I didn't know Sun was death because the image we all think of when we here of this new Death character is one that does not fit the image we see in front of us."

"Now Princess can you let Sun go before you kill him." I heard the teacher say.

Princess. I always wanted to-wait don't let me go I want to die a happy death.

"Alright." She sighed.

Bye Bye heaven.

The princess was a large breasted,silver eyed, black haired woman. Her figure was similar to the teachers but not as developed. It would not be long though for the growth. She had been one of the two others siting in the eighth row.

Still this was getting old I needed to learn and they were far to curious about me to let it begin. I needed to kill this topic quickly or I would go insane.

"Brothers and Sister's I didn't mean to kill him."

I began the same thing I told the teacher but I wanted to kill this topic forever so I'm going for the grade A performance of the year.

"He hit me so suddenly. Next thing I remember was wanting to run away and save myself. But all I remember after that was waking up in a pool of blood." I had been playing the water works ever so slightly and quivering my voice at the parts that made the best impression. I had even started to blow snobs of goo.

All in all by the end of it. Half the students were encouraging me it was all right and the other half was crying right along with me. Finally. I could get to learn something.

"I think we should take Sun to see the city as a way for him to forget that day."

Oh no.

"That's a great idea." another student said.

"It's been a while since we went to the city."

"I think Sun will be able to really enjoy himself if he lets himself forget what happened."

The one the teacher had called princess had finally spoke up.

"Miss Scarlet, please allow us to chaperon Sun around the city. It will allow us to make Sun happy and let you catch up on work." She said.

"What about class?" The teacher said.

"Do not worry most of us are top tier anyway. We already now all the fundamentals of magic anyway." She replied.

No.

no.

no.

It can't be so.

I was so close to the MAGIC.

"But I thought I couldn't leave the Academy till I had take the Test?" I was at my last straw.

"It alright." the princess replied. "It's not a problem if I say you can."

I started to tear up. Crying from the disappointment. I had been so close to awesome that wonder thing. I don't even know what it is but damn I want to be able to do it. Think of the ways I could kill my enemies.

"Look how happy he is. He's crying tears of joy."

"Fine. I'll end class short for the day. Take Sun to the city but don't let anything happen. I will also be adding more work for another day." The teacher said.

I was still crying at this point as the princess lifted me up on her shoulders.

"Aren't you happy Sun?"I heard the princess say.

"I'm SOOOOO Happy." I say through my tears.
