Chapter 23

The hidden room.

The school day continued and Kalego took on Iruma again, who showed up in the teachers' room with a completely different appearance and the air of a savvy bastard. If before he hated him now it's worse.

Annabel, on the other hand, helps the attendants to clean the floor in a large room, then helps them to move huge objects and finally, makes her rounds of control in the various classrooms, where the professors feel much more protected and this was the directive. of the principal, where she has only done something more.

So on the side of the demon, Iruma has demanded that his class, that of misfits, must change classroom, since the current one sucks; but Kalego reminds him of what he and his classmates have been up to since the beginning of the school year, which is no small feat. All the messes have been written in more than one book that seem like endless encyclopedias. But Iruma insists that they want to move the one with the big door, which is sealed, the real one, into the room.

At this point the demon also threatens him with the presence of his Cerberus, who, if necessary, makes him come out as his aura and as his constant helper and in the meantime that the other counteracts, he thinks:

"Shit brat! What happened a few hours ago is not enough, now this too! You damn brazen! You show up with this criminal face and then you ask for something? Ah no! Now I'll fix you!"

So always threatening him, he tells him that everyone's consent is needed, therefore documents signed by all the school workers, so he has put him in trouble where he has sent him away. but after other hours, they all show up to his amazement, support the boy and then sign the documents and Kalego can only open the royal room, the one where the throne of the demon king is located and has remained intact its disappear.

And opening it, the class from underground where they were, he moves into a room of a true king! All luxury! He doesn't mind Kalego, as he also has his own sumptuous personal chair, where before he had to always stand but worried:

"Don't sing the same victory brat bastard, the road will be harder for you now and I will enjoy when you arrive exhausted!" And the lessons continue, even if he beat him, he remembers how he tied him up and erased his memory and that makes him smile. Plus, new room plus homework.

After the day is over, everyone leaves school, first the students and after the teachers and when Kalego looks for the priestess.

Dali: "she In truth, she left an hour ago and she received an urgent communication and then the principal made her go away."

He doesn't protest, because when it comes to that kind of communication, he can't interfere. But she left without saying goodbye, given their relationship and it bothers him a little.

So he, too, finishes sorting out other backward paperwork and then greets comrade Balam, who is also finishing an experiment and eventually leaves school.

Now as she walks the path, she is wondering if the communication is about the test she will have to face, where they will evaluate that indeed she is still on the side of good, something that must necessarily pass, because there is always the alliance at stake. . He is also thinking about whether to prepare her with special training. Then, he opens his black wings and takes flight.

He searches for her and finally finds her on a small isolated path, which leads to the street of Sullivan's house; where she notices her walking and wearing her hood hugging her coat, a sign that she is cold. So then he goes down silently behind her and with one of her wings blocks the road where she turns and:

"You left without saying goodbye! Unacceptable!"

He cares about the kiss as much as a greeting, it has now become a ritual and a drug that he cannot do without.

He then he bends down and kisses her and then she replies with visible embarrassment:

"I beg your pardon ... but I have to meet Kerefet, who will pass me some information about the test and also a map of the place where it will take place .. and also said that he will update me on the current situation of the infections."

He closing his wings and putting his arms crossed:

"Mmmmm ... okay, what day?"

" Day after tomorrow.... ."

"Mph! Are you ready?"

"My way, yes."

Kalego before looks at her eyes, which are sincere and then:

"It is important that you pass it for the good of all."

" Yes I know... ."

"But since you've been indisposed for three weeks, I don't think you've trained enough for and one day won't make a difference. So, I'll train you."

" What?"

"You'll get a great workout, where you'll come out stronger and more experienced than you are now."

She first thinks about it and then she looks at him replying:

" No."

Kalego astonished: "What?"

"I said no. As for you who teach and I must not interfere, you will do the same in my tests, this is a matter that concerns only me."

And he with a disturbed face, because he refused the help of an experienced and high-ranking demon that many can dream of:

" You... ."

"Trust me Kalego, it's not a test where I have to win it's a test where I just have to prove that I'm still a priestess with her values ​​and I'll make it!"

Him: "Mmmmgg...."

She: "You are a very strict teacher and you certainly don't spare yourself even on the practical act ... in the three weeks you were forced to be patient while you taught me, but now that you are no longer bound, you will certainly begin to insult me ​​first then to beat me ... and I need my mental health and a training with you, it will make me completely depressed... . "

He then, after these words, looks at her first offended and then:

"Okay! Do as you like!"

And after, he spreads his wings and bumped, he takes off again without greeting her.

Her, just a patient sigh.

Back home, after a shower, having eaten, updated his diary and after having completed another backlog, he begins to think that she is not wrong, he is very strict and rigid, because he believes in a discipline taught properly and without discounts. So, while he sighs, he decides that they will not meet that evening, he must dispose of the offense suffered and must think of some sort of small spite for what he told him. It must be remembered that he is always a demon and carrying out revenge is in their nature, so before going to sleep, mull over something that can make her even more difficult during the test, but at the same time it must not compromise the main rule of their relationship, that is, trust.

Then the next day, after leaving his accommodation, he receives an unpleasant news from Dali, who when he calls him on the mobile demo tells him:

"I'm in school and I just got a weird communication from the student council ... at least sixty professors didn't show up today, including Professor March."

"What? But where the hell do they think they are is unheard of!"

Where the scream was also heard by other demons, who all turned worried.

Give them again: "Yes, it's true! But for me it's strange, given the situation we have, I wouldn't want that...."

Kalego: "No, don't say it! Don't you dare!"

Dali: "The principal said to act and then what do we do?"

He first thinks about it and then replies:

"Let's go and inspect the dormitory!"

Dali: "Sure! It seems right!"

Kalego: "And we also bring the priestess!"

Dali: "I agree!"

So he ends the call and something tells him it's going to be a hell of a day.

Later, before the start of the lessons, where however most of the teachers are already in school, while some are still in the dorms; the three meet at the entrance, Annabel has followed a small demon who has been her guide. It looks like a set of small castles and towers of various sizes and shapes; also equipped with: horns, wings, studs, thorny branches, threatening plants, moss and demonic eyes and the atmosphere is not the best.

Annabel, a little worried about all this and always from horror films:

"So let me understand ... I'm here because you are afraid that there is an outbreak in there?"

Dali: "No, no! Ours is just pure precaution!"

Kalego: "The fear in this case is for idiots!" And after he adds:

" Let's go in!"

But the priestess is not so convinced and wears the coat she had in the morning, because it is cold. She gives her instead she has only a scarf around her neck since she too is cold to him.

So the three, go through the entrance door that overlooks an open atrium, composed of various plants, to Annabel it reminds that of a monastery, with a lot of threatening and gloomy well with benches around it, which for them is always the normality.

Dali: "Mmmmm shall we start with the male or the female?"

He says about and he looks around and Kalego stealthily approaches her with his gray pyramid saying softly:

"Take it and then take it out, if he sees me with this, he'll suspect something for sure."

Applying them complicity rule where she does, he does what he asks of her, then takes it from her hand and puts it in the hanging bag.

Dali: "Let's start with the female one!"

Kalego: "Okay, we're as inspectors today, so we'll make an exception and go inside."

Dali: "Of course, yes! Also because the headmaster has warned everyone and even those who are still here."

Annabel agrees, since they are the ones who know the place and as they walk down the porch on the left, which leads to the women's dormitories.

Dali: "Annabel, are there any similar places with you too?"

Her: "In reality we have some houses in common that are not dormitories, but real houses, in fact we live in the temple and we do not have a house outside, at least that one of us gets married and therefore creates a family and also buys a house true. "

Now she doesn't bother his curiosity, as he isn't very pushy.

Dali: "Come on, it's unbelievable! I'd like to show you my room and maybe have a moan tea together."

Kalego: "We are not here to have fun, but we have an important task to do concentrated! And besides, it is forbidden to let women in the male dorms!"

He maintains his rigor, as established by the rules of the couple, but he receives this information anyway.

Dali: "Yes of course, quiet was just to say."

Annabel: "So you all live here temporarily, right? Then when the school year ends, do you go back to your real homes?"

Dali: "Exactly! But everyone has their own privacy."

Her: "Kalego, did you live here too?"

Pretending that she actually knows nothing about his private quarters.

Kalego: "Mmmm? Do they seem like questions to ask now?" And he understands that he is purposely omitting what he really knows but that doesn't mean he has to answer.

Dali: "Come on, we have to go up the stairs to get there, so I'll answer you. Kalego immediately rose in rank and was assigned a private accommodation away from ours, so he never had accommodation here."

Amazed Annabel: "Ooo interesting."

Dali: "High rank more privileges."

Kalego: "Totally deserved privilege!"

In reality, he has never endured living with others, all noisy and annoying, so he has risen in rank for that reason as well.

Dali: "Ahaha of course!"

Coming after ten minutes.

Dali: "Oh come on, we're here!"

The priestess can see how it is done; a wide corridor, but not long, with the professors' rooms on the right and left, with shades of color that are always dark, typical of that world.

Dali: "These are just a few, so now?"

Kalego: "We go in without dividing."

This is what they do, where some teachers see them are a little upset, while others get embarrassed both for Kalego and because they are two males and are usually forbidden to enter. So as they pass, they greet them only politely.

After a while they knock on the doors of those absent from work but do not receive an answer and therefore.

Kalego: "We can't break down the door then, priestess now it's your turn!"

So she brings out the famous pyramid and Dali:

"How strange ... weren't they gilded?"

"Yes emm yes, this is particular."

Dali: "Oooh then let's see it in action."

So she holds it in the palm of her hand for at least ten minutes and it doesn't turn green.

Kalego was disappointed instead Dali:

Dali: "Yes, that's it, what exactly was it supposed to do?"

Annabel: "Look for possible infected...."

Dali: "Come on? Very useful, so it means that there aren't any here right?"

Kalego: "Tz! Later we'll think about the slackers who don't answer! Now let's go to the male dorm!"

They do so, exiting and taking the right side of the atrium, where they apply the same procedure here too.

First they knock on the doors of the absent and then they use the gray pyramid method but this round after five minutes lights up and starts pulsing.

Dali: "Wow what strength! What does that mean?"

"That there is something."

Kalego instead observes alone, where from this then a green ray comes out again, where it guides them for a precise part.

"Ahahahah! Have you ever seen such a thing and is it really comfortable? Especially because with your blood we go without fail! What do you think Kalego? Have you already seen it?"

He replies as they follow the beam:

"No, she just told me it has a potential infected locator so I think he'll help us."

Downplaying the matter a little.

Dali: "I understand, well come on then we're lucky!"

Annabel has heard everything, but she doesn't say anything, she can't tell the whole story! She then she just guides them.

After another ten minutes of walking through various corridors, where again, the other professors say goodbye to rank eight and Dali and are a bit confused by the female vision. But as it is Kalego, no one has complaints. They arrive in front of a wall, where the green light beam stops there. However, there are no doors or even windows and the part leads out of the building, therefore into the void.

Kalego: "But what does that mean?"

Dali: "Mmmm how strange ... it's a wall that leads nowhere ... ."

He tells as he touches it and then closes his hand and knocks from above.

Annabel: "Yet point here."

Kalego, does the same and then, opens the palm of his hand:

"I don't perceive anything."

So too Annabel touches the wall with the palm of her hand; where, however, this breaks into a thousand pieces like a mirror! And the two now look astonished and confused, because in front of them there is a long dark corridor.

Kalego: "I can't believe it!"

Dali: "Ooooh! Dimensional magic? Which you obviously broke."

Annabel: "Well ... yes of course ...." She says confused too.

Kalego: "This is absurd! You must at least be rank nine to create such a thing!"

Annabel: "I'm only afraid of what we will find at the bottom... ."

And they too who look at each other and don't blame her, so they prepare for the worst.

Then Kalego below with a spell, creates two walls on the right and left and says:

"Let's avoid prying eyes, no one but us must know what is at the end of that tunnel!"

Next, after Dali has access to a sphere of blue light, they walk down that corridor for at least twenty minutes. Then they arrive in front of a door, where a seal is drawn from above plus an amulet with the protective energy of the Anubian priestess on the handle.

Dali: "But this type of seal ... only Professor March does it ... ."

Kalego: "He has blocked something that I hope hasn't come out in the meantime. Be ready for anything!"

The two nod and then, opens the door and when they enter.

Dali: "Oh ... by the devil!"

Annabel: "But what ..."

Kalego: "Tz .. here is where all the absent professors ended up ... ."

In a large windowless room, there are demons in school uniforms and they have an undead attitude; in practice they walk slowly and aimlessly, where there are some who complain, others who are half changed, still others are on the ground crumbling and half dead!

Then Kalego decides to close the door with caution and.

Dali: "Wait ... but the disease is not transmitted from one demon to another ... so what happened here?"

Kalego: "It is possible that it has evolved."

Dali: "What?"

Kalego: "Inside I noticed some have scratches and bite marks on their bodies... and I think they got infected like that... where it started from, I don't know."

Annabel just listens.

Dali: "But they have protection! So how?"

Kalego: "No! They don't have it ... nobody has their own amulet and it will have happened when the priestess had her vulnerable period ... there is no other explanation, damn it!"

Dali: "Ooo gee ... this is really a terrible thing ... what do you do?"

In the end the priestess was right, they feared an outbreak and there it was and there, still arguing about the next move.

Call the Azazel forces handling the case, or Dean Sullivan first and notify him? But then they come to a conclusion.

Kalego: "If others find out, there will be a general panic among the other teachers and an uproar! So we have to act! The outbreak is small and we can deal with them immediately!"

Dali agrees but Annabel instead:

"What do you mean to deal with them? You don't want to kill them?"

Kalego: "We have no alternatives, I noticed that many are in the final stage and others are already with one foot in the pit, but for some strange reason they are not crazy and we will not be able to save them. they all attack together and I fear that the amulets will not be effective if it happens. Like the external one, we do not know when and if they will wake up from their state of hypnosis and break it all free! "

Annabel opposed: "But what? Are you kidding right? I think we can save them! You can't kill them!"

Kalego then seeing that she has raised her voice scolds her saying:

"You really think I'm having fun seeing my fellow men and colleagues come to a bad end! But this is about survival! That amulet on the door won't hold for long and if they come out, there won't be anyone to be saved. that now that it has evolved and we don't know what it can do! "

Terrified Annabel: "But ... but ... ."

Kalego: "Silence! It is our race and we will take care of it! And we will do it with material demonic weapons, so we are sure to do a complete cleaning!"

Dali agrees once again with him:

"We don't like it ... but he's right, to make others survive you have to make sacrifices."

And so, the two bring up firearms, a crossbow inlaid for Kalego and Dali, two big guns similar to those used by pirates, imbued with evil energy.

Kalego: "This way we won't be touched!"

Annabel that she can't do anything, she just clenches her fists and teeth, she can't interfere, but she says nothing and her heart cries.

Noting this Kalego adds:

"You have to be mentally strong and accept these situations to live in this world priestess!"

But then they hear a faint knock coming from the door and the three look at each other and hear it again, as well as afterwards they also hear a faint voice, which they recognize as that of Professor March who says:
