Kuroda tensed up instantaneously after his lips came in contact with the succubus'. His eyes widened once more, clearly from the shock of the unforeseen event. In any normal situation, Daichi would have retaliated with brute force. However, he instead felt weakened by the rapid reduction of energy he had stored from the previous night. At a loss for words, the nocturne remained motionless in the same position Nuna had left him. His face showed some loss in its original vibrancy, and his throat was left with a dry sensation that hindered his ability to speak. Even his hearing appeared to be affected negatively by the sudden violation, and the scenery around him began to darken. I... I feel weak... He was unable to think clearly, as his mind had become clouded with the image of the creature who absorbed his life force.

Daichi leaned forward unsteadily, covering his mouth when he felt a nauseating feeling rise up from his stomach. The room was spinning, and the frail nocturne was slowly losing grip of his consciousness; he staggered towards the first creature in his path, groping any sort of support to keep him from passing out. "Give... it back..." His voice sounded strained as he slumped over who he assumed was the succubus, pleading with her to return his power. In turn, the female wrapped loosely in his arms was not Nuna, but the demon girl who appeared shortly after the ordeal. "You damn succubus... I'll kill--" Before he could finish mumbling his threat, the cat finally fainted, putting all of his weight on the body beneath him.

After settling down in the seat beside Zephyr, Daichi eyed the demon whom he hadn't formally introduced himself to yet, but he decided against cutting into the other's conversation. Eagerly, he rolled up the sleeves of his leather jacket before indulging himself in the breakfast spread out before him. He licked his lips as the aroma caused his stomach to rumble with enticement. Just as he was about to lift his dining utensils, the nocturne was torn from his own world by the unpleasant slam of a tray, followed by the all-too familiar voice of the green creature. Kuroda mustered all of his strength to remain unruffled and flashed Zensei a toothy grin.

Subsequently, he was able to tune out whatever nonsense the pixie was spouting, purposely looking away from his bizarre eating style. He took a hearty bite out of his slab of meat. Daichi closed his eyes and tilted his head back slightly, immediately taken aback by how savory his meal was. The flavor was catered perfectly to his liking, and he expected no less from the distinguished school. While he was wallowing in glee, more students started approaching his table. "Mornin'." He responded to Nodah's greeting and proceeded to devour his food. He paused mid-chew and raised an eyebrow when a bulky creature came towering over everyone else. That guy's a human? Despite his rather intimidating appearance, he was able to spark up a conversation in an amiable manner that somehow disagreed with his looks. Following Leval's introduction, another voice radiated smoothly from behind him.

"Hello, my name is Nuna Mori for those of you who don't know." The nocturne cocked his head to the side at the preface, too engrossed by the glass of milk he held to recognize the presence. Assuming the female would make her way to a vacant seat at the table, Daichi went about his business unsuspectingly. However, he was taken off guard when he felt warm fingertips slip beneath his beanie a little too casually, deftly combing through his messy hair and fondling his twitching ears. Daichi's pupils contracted immediately and he prepared to swing his arm backwards, but his initial defensive reaction was soothed and he was forced to relax under the succubus' touch. He fell into a daze for a brief moment, his eyelids drooping before he snapped out of the short trance. He reached for his exposed ear, rubbing the spot that still lingered with heat. That was when he came to a sudden realization- "My hat!"

Daichi stood up swiftly, pushing his chair back with a loud screech; he jerked his head around to see where this creature had taken his belonging. He narrowed his angular eyes, scanning the lunch room for the apparent thief with his black hat. He approached her sharply at first, but his expression gradually transitioned to one of civility when he saw she meant no real harm. "Hey there... Nuna, was it?" Kuroda inched towards her spot, placing a hand sternly on the table to face her completely. "If you wanted my attention, taking my hat was a pretty good method." The cat stated playfully, leaning forward a bit to match her height a little better. "So, what can I do for you?" He spoke fluently, a smirk coming across his face that displayed one of his prominent fangs.

The nocturne furrowed his brows in response to the pixie's remark, but he bit his tongue to hold back any more snide comments; he wasn't up for causing a rift in a friendship that hasn't quite begun yet. Daichi cleared his throat and crossed his outstretched legs before him. Pausing between his own voice and the chuckle of the demon on his far right, he mumbled something quietly. "-yeah, g'night." Maintaining a rather lighthearted voice, the nocturne eventually curled himself up and found a comfortable position on the pliable sheets, finally drifting off into a deep sleep.

The following morning, the feline was dormant on his bed for quite some time- once this creature is asleep, he remains so for a rather long time. However, Kuroda's peaceful sleep was interrupted by the booming voice that caused the hairs on his back to stand on edge. His eyes shot open and he rolled off the bed, landing with a loud thud.

"Ah- shit!" Daichi swore hoarsely under his breath, suddenly finding himself in an awkward position; he'd managed to land face first on the ground with his back and arms bent in unspeakable ways. He struggled to hoist himself onto his feet, causing him to stagger forward once he was finally upright. Rubbing the back of his neck and rolling his shoulders, he grumpily looked at his obnoxious alarm clock that read 6:53 AM. While he made his way over to the bathroom, he let out a disheartened sigh. Am I gonna be up this early every day? He noticed that Zephyr and Reas had already departed, along with the fact that their beds were already empty and had been made flawlessly.

Closing the door behind him with his elbow, Daichi yawned loudly and proceeded with his morning routine. After much awe at the extravagant use of magic, he exited the bathroom clad in a black leather jacket and gloves, a red v-neck, sleek black pants decorated with numerous silver zippers along the sides, and a pair of black leather oxfords to match the new beanie on his head. The nocturne stretched out his arms and twisted around to rate his new outfit, and he scrunched up his face when he came across the new shiny shoes. These aren't really my type... He shrugged and adjusted his gloves while he jogged down the stairs and out into the hallway.

Without much haste, Kuroda yawned once more while boarding the portal to the first floor. Just as a precaution, he clung to a wall before the lift transported him to his destination (without much hassle, to his surprise.) Strolling past the sea of students, he brought himself face to face with one of the peculiar machines. He was a bit startled when it abruptly spoke, but he followed the basic instructions and grazed his card across the scanner. "Thank you, Kuroda Daichi. A meal will be prepared for you based on your personal preferences." Sweet.

After that brief announcement, Daichi was greeted by the delectable smell of steak and eggs, along with a glass of cold milk. His jaw dropped only slightly, and he had to wipe the corner of his mouth of any visible drool before he swiftly picked up his breakfast platter. Kuroda's eyes flitted around the massive dining hall, scanning the area for any familiar faces. That was when he spotted a table with all the right people- Reas, Zephyr, and that demon girl whose necklace he'd remembered for later use.

"Mind if I join you?" He casually walked up to the party of three, a slight grin on his face as he made eye contact with each of them.

Daichi stared in awe at Zensei, whose facial expression had become far more distinct than before. Processing the situation, the feline parted his lips as if in mid-sentence, baring the fairly pointed fangs that remain undetected under normal circumstances. He narrowed his amber eyes that were fixated on the growing aura of the pixie, and his eyebrows furrowed in unison. A few moments of silence passed as Kuroda racked his brain for any rational explanation for the nonsensical proposal and behavior of his roommate.

Suddenly, there was an outburst of laughter that erupted from Kuroda, echoing throughout the large room. “-pfft! You’re kidding, right?” The nocturne failed to hold back the snickering that rose from his stomach, causing him to clutch his abdomen in an attempt to calm himself down. “Man, you’re real funny Zensei. Nearly pissed my pants just now!” Daichi was still cackling goofily to himself, turning completely on his side to face the green creature. However, the closer he examined Zensei, the more he realized his assumption might have been a little off. “Wait… were you serious?” The energetic Kuroda shot up in his spot once again, propping himself up with one elbow for support. His face transitioned from his toothy grin to one of more earnestness.

Rather than waiting patiently for his answer, Daichi leaned back into the excess of pillows with his eyes closed. He frowned to himself and crossed his arms over his chest, seemingly at a loss of words.

"Is that really an offer you're making?"

The nocturne's ears wriggled a bit as Zephyr interjected, but instead he remained stationary on his bed. The way he's acting now, it's hard to believe he was just cracking a joke... What kinda 'surprise' is this? Kuroda opened his mouth to respond to the unusual invitation. "-sorry Zensei, but I'm gonna have to decline." He continued speaking without opening his eyes, but a hint of amusement came to his face in an instant. "But if you want, you could be my personal servant." Of course, he said this in a very joking manner.

Drifting off into a light sleep, the nocturne's breathing had settled to a rhythmic pattern. However, he was soon torn from his doze when the high pitch voice of Zensei invaded his serenity. Kuroda let out a slight groan in response to the pixie's initial statement, but his interest was piqued following the mention of a surprise. This guy had a weakness for surprises.

"-'a little somethin'?" Daichi feinted neutrality, remaining dormant on his bed with his arms propped beneath his head. Under his hat, the cat's ears perked in excitement and he peeked over at his tiny roommate, eyebrows raised in curiosity. "Go on." He mumbled under his breath in a droll tone, stretching his arms up above him. He grasped at the space above him as if he was trying to touch the glistering light that shone through the broad skylight. One of the moons came into view behind the dark foliage of the leaves that rustled in the wind, creating a luminous pattern across the whole room. The streaks of luster were affecting the power levels of the nocturne, causing him to replenish whatever energy he may have expended throughout the day. Kuroda felt strength returning to him immediately, and he no longer felt the need to sleep at that moment.

In one smooth movement, Kuroda hoisted himself up using the momentum from swinging his arms. He hunched forward on the bed, folding one leg neatly while the other hung off the side of his mattress. Sitting up straight, Daichi now had the opportunity to spark conversation with his company. He began to unlatch the many buckles adorned on his tattered, black combat boots, flinging them carelessly onto the ground beside his lodging; he tossed his leather gloves and beanie onto his designated dresser in a similar fashion. As he did so, he exchanged a nod of approval with the well-mannered human who had introduced himself as Nodah. I don't think I've met a guy this polite in ages. I could learn a thing or two from him.

The nocturne chuckled to himself before ruffling his messy hair, relieved to have his ears out for the first time in a couple of days. They wriggled with excitement, easily conveying his inward emotions on the outside. He let out a content sigh, plopping down on his back once again, this time in a more comfortable manner- shoes, hat, and gloves off. With that, he tilted his head to the side to face Zensei once more, training his golden eyes on the pixie while he waited in anticipation for the mysterious 'something' he was promised.

Although most of his attention had been focused on the small winged-creature latched onto his wrist, Daichi heard a few stumbles followed by a light thud behind him. The nocturne's eyes darted to the side, putting himself on high guard in preparation for the worst. His head eventually followed his eyes, turning to face the source of the noise. Relief came upon his face as he relaxed when he realized that there was no need for such caution; a rather flashy human had stumbled out of the fog and was gathering his bearings behind another creature, one much more eye-catching than the being behind him.

The all-white demon approached Kuroda and the pixie with a sardonic expression on his face. The almost transparent irises were trained on the two creatures that had arrived only moments before. Daichi's eyes drifted downwards towards the scales adorned on the arm of the creature who had introduced himself as Zephyr and immediately flitted back up to meet his gaze. A grin spread across the nocturne's lips in an instant as he appraised the new company.

Just as he opened his mouth to respond, the raucous voice of Zensei interrupted his train of thought. The pixie spoke in such a foul manner, even Daichi couldn't hide the scowl on his face. "-'s that so?" He mumbled under his breath, rubbing the back of his neck before trailing behind the others sluggishly. Kuroda would occasionally glance over his shoulder to see if the human from before was a part of the group-search for Room 10-H, but the nocturne was torn from his lax state of mind once again by both the threatening message over the loud speaker and the annoyance that was the green pixie.

"Oh lordy I'm lost!" Daichi's patience had dwindled when he realized all the time spent roaming the winding halls did nothing for the lost creatures. Clenching his jaw, the black-haired cat narrowed his angular eyes at Zensei, the small pupils contracting into even thinner slits. He brought his knuckles to the palm of his other hand, cracking his joints before forming a fist by his side. He felt his gloves heat up, indicating that his temperament had been lost. "So you're telling me you had no idea where the fu--"

Kuroda's sentence was cut off before his hands could erupt into flames when the demon had come across something of interest. "-I think you're on to something." His anger had vanished within seconds as Zephyr gained his attention, and he blinked to revert his eyes back to normal. Daichi followed along, running his clothed fingertips across the smooth surface of the walls in a childish manner. His face lit up when 10-H was finally found, and he pranced into the room nonchalantly. He nearly stopped in his tracks when the grandiose dorm came into view- an opulent two-floor loft complete with large windows that provided a breath-taking view of the campus.

Daichi made his way over to the stairs, familiarizing himself to the human who had already claimed a bed. Reas, huh? He had no trouble finding this room, I bet. The nocturne yawned loudly and flopped backwards onto the soft sheets of the bed, sinking down into the fluffy comforter with his arms folded beneath his head. With that, his name covered the headboard on its own, and Daichi could feel sleep creeping up on him almost immediately.
