Angela and I stood in the Headmaster's office, right in front of Madam Webb. Madam Webb sat behind her desk, in deep thought.
"You're really an Angel?" She asked.
Angela nodded, her white wings bursting out from her back.
"Amazing..." Madam Webb muttered, marveling at the sight.
"What is so amazing about it? There are many Angels." Angela replied.
Madam Webb shook her head. "I hate to tell you this, but not anymore. The Angels were wiped out 1,000 years ago."
Oh god...
"No...you have to be joking..." Gasped Angela in disbelief. She shakily brought her hands to cover her mouth.
"I'm not." Madam Webb sadly stated. "1,000 years ago was the Great Angel-Demon War. The Demons won the war, and the Angels were destroyed."
"You're the only known alive Angel in existence." She revealed.
"W-what about Heaven?" Angela asked.
"The Gates to Heaven have been sealed for a long time. Nobody can get in, and nobody can get out. We don't know what has happened behind those gates." Madam Webb informed.
Angela sunk to her knees in despair. "No...it can't be...it only felt like a couple days..."
She was sealed for 1,000 years. Betrayed by her own, only to find out that they were wiped out and her home was blocked off.
I can't imagine how that would feel.
"I'm so sorry." I said, hugging Angela. Angela quickly turned into me, crying to my shoulder.
I sat there for a while, letting Angela cry as much as she wanted. The pain she must feel...
Angela finally finished crying, leaving my shoulder drenched in tears. She rubbed her eyes, before standing back up.
"What do I do now? My race is gone...my home is gone..." Angela muttered.
"You can live for Jackson." Madam Webb suggested.
Hey! What are you suggesting?!
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You did swear to him, didn't you? You can live your life to keep your savior safe." Madam Webb continued.
"You're right." Angela agreed. "I'll live for you, Jack!"
Madam Webb?! What have you done?!
I don't want her to live for me!
Madam Webb smiled. "You know, Jackson is going to my school, his first day being tomorrow. Would you like to join him?"
Was this your plan?!
Angela nodded. "Yes please!"
Madam Webb smiled. "I can arrange it. Your first day will start tomorrow as well."
She then suddenly changed the topic. "Jackson, how is your arm?" She asked.
I rotated my left arm, moving it around.
"It feels great." I honestly replied. "It no longer hurts."
"I see. That's good." Madam Webb nodded. "Angela, can you step outside for a moment and leave the two of us?"
Angela nodded. "Sure. I'll see you when you're done." She said looking at me.
I nodded back to her, signifying that I got her message. Angela walked outside, closing the door behind her.
"What did you want to talk with me about?" I curiously asked her.
"Look, you're a nice kid. I can tell that. But you're hiding something." She stated, her voice serious.
"You were just a normal human, but now you can create a portal to the Hollow Realm, and you are able to control those Holy Fire chains without being hurt." She continued.
"What are you hiding?" She asked.
Oh no. What am I supposed to say?! I don't have an excuse! Maybe if I tell her part of it...would that work?
I can feel sweat dripping down my nervous face.
"Would you believe me if I said I had a power which helped me grow stronger, quicker?" I asked.
Of course, the [Monster Harem System] was much more than that. But I don't think she would believe that, especially since I have no way to prove it.
"There are strange things in the world, Jackson. This wouldn't be the strangest." Madam Webb replied.
Please, if you heard the full capabilities of the [Monster Harem System], I'm sure you would be plenty shocked.
"So when did you acquire this power of yours?" Asked Madam Webb.
"It was a couple of days before when the Corrupted attacked Anna and I." I truthfully replied.
"I see." Replied Madam Webb, deep in thought. She stayed like that for a couple minutes, thinking about what to do next.
"I trust you." Madam Webb suddenly stated.
You trust me? Really? That actually makes me feel happy.
"You may go on now." She spoke.
"Thank you." I replied, nodding towards her before leaving the room.
"What did you talk about?" Asked Angela.
"She just had to ask me some questions." I replied.

I knocked on the door which had the hanging "Brutus' Room" poster.
The door slowly opened, revealing a tired Brutus.
"It's time for the first day of school." I bluntly stated.
Brutus' shark eyes widened, before he ran back into his room and quickly coming back out, dressed up nicer.
And as in nicer, he had jeans, a plain white shirt and a leather jacket. Combine that with his shark face, and you have the award for most intimidating look from a student.
And that's just your average face! Your happy face looks extremely creepy, and your sad face looks angry.
Wait...then how does he look when angry? Furious?
Me and Brutus quickly are our breakfast, before heading out of our dorm. Checking my schedule, I looked at what my first class was.
"Monster Examination with Mr. Teras?" I muttered.
"I know the way." Brutus stated. "I can lead you there."
"Thank you Brutus!" I replied.
Brutus led me to my first class. We got a ton of stares, most likely because one of us looks like a shark delinquent and the other is the new kid.
At least, one of the two new kids. Angela was somewhere else.
The other students looked in fear at Brutus, while Brutus smiled at them. Except his smile was extremely threatening.
Brutus unknowingly made it worse for himself.
We entered the classroom, taking seats near the back. I made sure that I didn't get the main protagonist seat.
But I can't say that I'm normal anymore, because with the addition of the System, I'm definitely not normal.
It only took a couple minutes for the rest of class to file in and for the class to start. Otherwise than Brutus, only Anna sat in the same classroom.
"Today's lesson will be over Arachnids. Arachnids are humanoid spiders. How they were created is unknown, but they have been here for a long time." Professor Teras explained.
"An Arachnid has eight spider legs which come from their back. With the use of mana, they can fold these legs back into their skin, making them look like normal humans." Professor Teras stated.

Class 2, Human Studies with Professor Linda.
Professor Linda started by telling everyone about how human minds worked.
——————————————————————————-
Class 3, Corruption Fight Class with Mr. Connor.
"The Corrupteds come in all sorts of shapes in sizes, but one thing stays in common; they both are purple mindless monsters." Mr Connor explained.
"Today as will talk about the Werebeast. It's a creature that on it's own is very weak, but as a pack they can corner their prey."

Class 4, P. E. With Mr. Pali.
In P. E. Class, we ended up playing kickball. It was very fun, and it was interesting seeing what everybody could do.

I was walking towards Lunch. That was my next period, and I was so hungry. My stomach is rumbling, and I need to satisfy it.
On my way there, I accidentally bumped into a handsome teenager around my age. He had black hair with purple eyes, and two purple horns stuck out from his head.
Everybody turned their heads as they watched the man walk down the hallway, smiling and waving to people as he passed.
When we accidentally bumped into each other, his body felt like it was made of stone, so I ended up stumbling backwards from the sudden collision.
My bad. I should have been more careful.
"Sorry." I said..
He looked at me, before leaning his head down and whispering in my ear.
"Watch out kid. I'm at the top of the hierarchy, and don't make me need to teach you your place." He growled.
He then started walking away, smiling. He changes his persona incredibly quick.
What's wrong with you?! All I did was accidentally bump into you!
What the hell?
Ugh, hate jerks like those.
My stomach grumbled once more in anger. I could feel it telling me to feed it.
Well, I guess it's time to grab my lunch...
