Chapter 590: Game
After getting hit by Ariel on his foot, Fenris then turned his gaze on the son of the Vampire King.
He stared at Damien with a straight face for a few seconds and Damien also did the same.
Damien didn't know what that man in front of him was trying to accomplish this time, but he didn't want to show fear in his eye and let that man belittle him.
Unexpected by Damien, Fenris put on a smile and then introduced himself, "I'm Fenris, Ariel's teacher."
Fenris held out his hand for a handshake and said while subtly narrowing his eyes, "And I am a werewolf."
He wanted to see if Damien would react a certain way after knowing his true identity. He didn't get any reaction.
Damien internally thanked Theodore for teaching him how to do the handshake yesterday. He then firmly held Fenris' hand and shook it.
And Damien confidently introduced himself, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fenris. I'm Damien, Ariel's friend."
Fenris was checking to see if Damien was as cold as the vampires or not. He found that Damien was quite the opposite.
Theodore had promised Fenris that Damien was nothing like the vampires. He even lied saying that Damien would never attack humans as the vampires did. And Fenris was cross-examining to see how true Theodore's words were.
And Fenris took the last step of his cross-examination. He asked a trick question to Damien while giving off a sense of urgency, "What do you like the most? Answer to me quickly."
As the question was very vague, Damien innocently pointed at himself and said, "Me."
Fenris scoffed and thought to himself, "Two out of four. He is a half-breed, alright."
According to the result of Fenris' verbal test, Damien possessed half qualities of a vampire and half of a demon.
"I better keep an eye on him," he thought to himself as he turned around and walked towards the classroom.
Damien glanced at Ariel and gestured to ask if Fenris was not in his right mind.
Ariel giggled and shrugged her shoulders.
After a while, Ariel's cousins also came outside to join Ariel and Damien.
On the other hand, Fenris went to Adeline and Theodore and said, "I think I will take a leave if I won't be teaching the kids today."
"Sure," Adeline gave a polite smile but she suggested Fenris, "Why don't you go and meet Nefriti when you are leaving early? I think she would love that."
"You're right," Fenris smiled and nodded, "I haven't been able to spend enough time with her. I shall take your advice."
Without wasting any more time, Fenris vanished from the sight.
After Fenris was gone, Adeline sighed and complained, "Fenris has changed a lot. He used to be a merry person, always teasing everyone. Now… all he does is work for his pack and now, also work here as a teacher."
Theodore also agreed, "Yeah, he isn't like his old self. So I like him better now."
Adeline turned her head to look at Theodore's face and scoffed.
Theodore shrugged and nonchalantly asked, "What? I'm telling the truth. All he used to do before was hover around you like some damn bee."
"Yeah, he used to be a little annoying." Adeline looked in the direction where Fenris had run to and said after heaving a sigh, "I wish he would get married with Nefriti and get settled sooner. Nefriti is getting paler by the day, waiting for him to ask her hand in marriage."
"Shall I threaten the soul out of him?" Theodore asked in a serious tone.
"No!" Adeline gently pushed Theodore and shook her head. "They will sort it out themselves."
Theodore waved his hand and two chairs appeared out of nowhere. "Take a seat. Let's sit down and watch the kids doing their thing."
Adeline happily sat down and then looked at the kids. She could see that Ariel was introducing Damien to the twins and Joyce.
"He is the demon who I was talking about." Ariel spread her hands out and then said, "He has this big wings. Do you want to see it?"

Ramon readily agreed, "Yes." He eagerly clasped his hands together and asked Damien, "Show us your wings, Damien."
"Umm…" Damien glanced towards Theodore as if to get his permission.
His mother had strictly forbidden him from showing his wings so he didn't know if it would be appropriate to show his wings to Ariel's cousins.
Theodore understood the meaning behind Damien's glance so he said, "It's okay. These three can know about you and see your demonic form."
Theodore also thought that it was a good way to make the kids accustomed to seeing demons so that when he would show his vicious devil form, they wouldn't be afraid.
Damien took several steps back from Ariel and the others. "Okay, here I go," he warned the others so that they wouldn't come any closer to him.
And in the very next second, a set of large bat-like wings protruded from Damien's back.
While he did that, a gust of wings blew across all the kids' faces.
"Whoa!" Ramon's jaw was wide open in amazement. He gazed at the wings that were larger than Damien when extended. He also noticed that Damien's nails turned into claws, though they weren't that long and pointy.
Niylah flinched a little and pinched her younger brother's sleeve at the first glance of Damien's wings. However, when she looked at those wings again, she didn't hate it.
Joyce, on the other hand, looked a little envious. She could borrow the power from nature and perform several kinds of magic, from making the flowers bloom to starting a fire. However, she could not change her own body and grow wings as Damien did.
"Can you fly?" Joyce asked Damien with a straight face.
"I can," Damien nodded and slowly lifted himself up in the air to demonstrate.
However, he was careful not to fly too high up and reveal his true form to other humans.
"That is so awesome!" Ramon exclaimed in amazement.
Suddenly, Ariel jumped on Ramon's back and scared Niylah again.
"Ary! Why are you climbing on my back?" Ramon hurriedly held Ariel as she was slipping down his body and leaned forward so that that brat could climb higher.
Ariel simply climbed up while giggling and securely wrapped her arms around Ramon's neck.
Damien furrowed his brows seeing Ariel hugging Ramon and almost tumbled down. However, he quickly regained his balance in the air and thought, "Maybe she does that to everyone. I'm not that special after all."
Ariel then pointed towards Damien and shouted, "Ramon, flap your arms and chase after that Demon Lord. We are going to pull him down."
"Why?" Ramon sighed.
But Ariel disregarded what he said and shouted at Damien, "Damien, you should fly before we catch you. But fly slowly so that we can catch you."
And she patted Ramon's shoulder and ordered, "Fly, my dragon. And catch that Demon Lord."
Ariel glanced at Joyce and Niylah, and shouted an order, "Joy, use your magic to bind that Lord. And Niylah… don't cry."
Joyce smirked and instantly began to chant a spell.
Damien felt something wrapping around his foot. He looked down and saw that a crawler plant was wrapping his foot to keep him in place. And he realized that Ariel wasn't joking when she asked Joy to bind him.
Ramon finally laughed because he liked the game that Ariel had invented on a whim.
And he spread out his arms and leaped in the air, almost reaching where Damien was hovering at one single jump.
Theodore had the widest grin on his face. He folded his arms and whispered, "This is going to be interesting."
