It has been a few days since meeting Principal Weems. She explained that Nevermore Academy was a boarding school for outcasts, freaks, and monsters. Though it feels more like a summer camp than a school for the most part. Considering the number of magical signatures, I'm willing to believe that almost everyone here is a monster. Almost everyone, that is. I sense at least one normal human here; normies as these monsters call them.
A town seems to be bordering the school nearby, at least that's one place I can check out. Maybe there's some surprises waiting there. Though I really doubt it since most magical signatures are clustered around this school. The shadow knights informed me that it seems to be a small quiet town with some historical background. They seem eager to find some new companions, so I might go around some cemeteries or other burial grounds.
Thankfully after showing Principal Weems his telekinetic ability
She also tried to hand me some money, but I refused her generous offer. I still got some gold coins and gold ores weighing a few tons, so I'll be set for a while. I'll need to head to Jericho when I get the chance to exchange some cash later. I was led to a dorm room and explained that I will have a roommate when school starts in a few days.
Y/N got on the bed and laid down while muttering, "At least I have some peace and quiet before school starts."
I laid on the bed exhausted from the world-hopping and the new changes in his life. Thinking back to before I acquired this power, I'm terribly grateful for bringing such changes to my boring life. The ability to travel to different worlds is enough for me to enjoy life to the fullest and adding Ashborn's power makes my lifespan infinite.
Though I may form friendships and other ties to these people I meet. If they choose to stay by my side, I can always raise them as part of the Shadow Army. If not, I will respect their decision and let them rest in peace. Slowly after pondering my new life, I drift to sleep.
A few days have passed by, and some students have started to come to the campus.
Y/N looks over and observes, "They seem to look no different than other humans except for their own magical signatures."
The group of teens in the shade or holding black umbrellas under the sun feels cold with a touch of a blood aura. No surprise these people are vampires. The smell of blood aura from bodies coupled with their somewhat cold personalities are spot-on with my deduction.
In another part of the Quad–
Anyways, before my mind gets distracted again, this group is now laughing and chatting around the fountain. They seemed to feel a bit hypnotic and smelled of the sea. Searching around his mind for a myth or monsters depicting those qualities.
After a few minutes of pondering, mermaid or sirens fit the description. I'm more inclined to think they're sirens seeing as their hypnotic feeling is much higher quality signatures.
Looking back to the tables are a bunch of burly teens being very rowdy and uncultured. They seem to act like a bunch of dogs with no discipline at all.
Y/N goes into Thinker mode and poses, "Now that I think of it, they do feel animalistic and them feeling like dogs but more feral. Hmm, Lycans perhaps or werewolves so it's easier for our readers to understand."
As I was still in Thinker mode, someone snuck up on me and pats my shoulder. I snapped out of that state and turned around, only to be greeted with a young girl with blonde hair with rainbow highlights and a bright smile on her face.
Enid greets, "Hi~! I haven't seen you around last year. Are you new? You look tall. What kind of monster are you? You want me to show you around? Oh, my name is Enid~!!"
Taken aback by the barrage of questions, I steadied myself back and calmly answered with a soft smile, "Hey yourself and to answer your questions, I just enrolled a few days ago by Principal Weems, so I'm new new here. I'm psychic though more controlling thing with your mind than getting visions and stuff like that. And sure, I'll take that offer. By the way, my name is Y/N.
Enid smiled brighter and took his hand and showed him around the area. Though he already went around and checked the Quad already. I couldn't really refuse such an offer from such a bright soul. Her presence is a bit too bright, but it gives a sense of peace about her.
Y/N smiles and whispers to himself, "This place might be actually fun for a while."
The two strangers quickly became friends as they were touring around the academy meeting more people and faculty members alike. I returned to my room after promising Enid to meet up again tomorrow. The feeling I get from this academy seems to be mysterious though I attribute that to the surge of magical energies recently from the influx of students. But I do feel like there is something dark around the academy.
Y/N summoned the Shadow Knights and Igris and commanded, "Keep a lookout around the academy for anything out of the ordinary like murder or concentrated energies. I'll be visiting these places after they have been found. Igris, stay. Everyone else, dismissed."
He motioned Igris to find a secluded clearing inside the forest for combat training. Igris left after receiving the command. Y/N walked by the balcony of his room and patiently waited for good news. Combat training needs to be put into the agenda.
The cool air and great view of the full moon in sight made him feel at peace, as he knows that the difficult days are yet to come.
