Today's school is just like any other regular day. It's boring, it's mundane and it's Monday. Which is great.

  And right now it's recess, most students practice their magic with their friends or have lunch together. But for me. . .

  "Hey kid, wake up" A librarian approached me and scolded me

  The librarian seems to be a young man in his 20s, wearing all black with black gloves and a black jacket to top it off. And yes, I spend it by sleeping here. At the library.

  ". . . Hmm? What time is it? "

  ". . . It's 15 minutes past recess"

  ". . . I see, then I'd better go buy myself lunch the-"

  "Actually. . . Don't you wanna stay just for a while longer? You still had 45 minutes for recess after all"

  ". . . Why do you insist on making me stay here? "

  "Well, I want to clean up this library soon. So it would be great if you could lend a hand"

  "Just do it with other librarians, they know better"

  Both of us share a sharp eye contact for a few seconds in silence. Judging by his face, he seems annoyed that I didn't follow his 'advice'

  "Huff. . . Listen here kid, just stay inside-"

  "Actually, I have never seen you here before. Are you new here? "

  ". . . Yes, I'm ne-"

  "Then you should have known this library only gets cleaned up on weekends. That's the first thing they should have told you"

  The silence hovered longer. The air around me starts to feel like a dagger stabbing through my nose with each breath I take. His finger started twitching, making me confident of one thing.

  He's lying about being new here.

  Before he could do any more moves, I threw a book I used to cover my head when I'm lying on the table, which he easily ducked out of the way.

  He then tries to grab my collar, which I quickly counter by dodging out of the way and locking his arm with mine.

  "As I thought, no way you're new around here"

  "How would you know that kid? "

  "Simple, librarians also take a break during recess "

  I then try to smack his face with the back of my palm but then he quickly disappears into smoke before reappearing slightly far away with the same smoke around him before he slides his hair with his fingers

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  "Geez, never thought I would have to use force to make you fight me"

  ". . . Should I have been honored? "

  "Considering that you're about to experience it, yes"

  He then used the same technique to reappear in front of me and try to land a punch on my face. I dodge out of the way before trying to knee his stomach, but he easily disappears into smoke again.

  He then reappeared in the air, trying to punch me from behind, which I easily blackflip out of my way, and he disappeared once again into smoke.

  "Great, I can't even touch him if this continues. . . "

  He reappeared once again in my back, kicking my head which made me fly into the wall

  "Damn it. . . ! " I grunt in pain while slowly trying to get up, holding my head in pain

  He slowly smirked sadistically before disappearing and reappearing again with his smoke technique and tried to punch me, but I quickly reacted a second quicker and blocked his punch with my arm before both of us looked at each other sharply.

  "Who sent you? Are you from the damn part of terrorism or something? "

  He then lowered his punch before teleporting a few centimeters back while still facing me

  "Terrorist?! Hahaha, oh kid, I'm wounded you compare me to those monkeys"

  Fucking narcissistic demon. . .

  "Before you make more of your stupid nonsense assumption, I'd better tell you myself. You can call me Marchosias"

  ". . . Marchosias? "

  Isn't that name. . . From a demonology book? I thought to myself

  "A demon huh? So you're trying to kill humans here and do it by disguising yourself as one"

  "Hahaha, oh I'm more than just a demon. I'm a part of the cultist"

  ". . . Cultist? "

  "Yes!!! We are the ones who will give salvation to all humans! We are the ones who will lead all living beings to the right path! And we are the ones who will give paradise to all living beings " he declared his vows as he looked up while opening both his arms as if he were receiving salvation

  ". . . So what is your purpose here, huh? Kidnap someone as your sacrifice? "

  He lowered his arms before looking back at me sharply and softly

  "Oh no it's not, I'm here for a greater purpose, and I'm already on my way to achieve it"

  ". . . Huh? "

  He let the silence linger around longer than it should to build suspense before answering me softly

  "I'm here to test you"

  ". . . Why? What benefit will you get from a magicless guy anyway? "

  ". . . To see if you are an important piece for his plan, he asked me to test you"

  His answer makes me dumbfounded for a second, with one thought in my head

  Why me?

  "Kid, don't you space off now"

  ". . . ! "

  Before I could react, he used that opportunity to disappear and reappear with his smoke technique and push my stomach with his palm which made me hit the wall hard

  "Kff. . . " I cough softly while getting up slowly and clutching my stomach

  "Oh? Did you get hurt already? Come on kid, how weak one person can be? "

  He disappears and reappears behind my back and tries to push his palm behind my back, which I quickly bend down and grab the wooden chair beside me with my other hand and smash him with it while he is still on air which makes the chair broken into pieces

  Before his body can even touch the ground, he disappears and reappears behind my back and kicks my back, which makes me stumble forward and reappear above me, trying to punch my stomach again, which I quickly roll my body out of the way and kneel on one knee.

  "Huff. . . Huff. . . "

  "Oh come on kid, tired already? "

  ". . . "

  "Tck, what a weak monkey. I wonder why he asks me to nurture you"

  ". . . You keep talking about him. Who's him? "

  ". . . He is the one who will bring salvation to this world. He is The Lord of Fallen Angels himself " He says while raising both his arms again

  ". . . Lord of Fallen Angels? "

  ". . . Now that you know, and I know how weak you are, I guess you aren't fit to be his piece-"

  Before he could finish his sentence, his face almost got kicked by my flying kick which he reacted fast enough to use his smoke technique to retreat slightly far away from my kick range

  ". . . So that's your pattern eh? " I said softly but in a cold tone before taking a sharp piece of the broken chair earlier

  "Huh? The fuck you mean kid? "

  ". . . Nothing much, I just see through your patterns now"

  ". . . Ha? "

  "You can only teleport away with your smoke technique around 10 cm away, and your body parts will twitch to where you want to teleport to" I give my analysis calmly with half-closed eyes while looking straight up to him

  ". . . Wha-! "

  "If it's right, your index finger on your right hand will twitch. If it's left, it's your left index finger. If it's above, you subconsciously raise your legs a bit higher. If it back, you lend your body slightly to the back, and if you dash, you will bend your right knee slightly"

  "Y-You. . . ! "

  "Yeah, I got your patterns now"

  ". . . Ha. . . Haha. . . Hahaha, don't make me laugh kid! " he says as he disappears and reappears quickly in front of my face to punch my cheek as I stop his punch calmly with my hand

  "What-"

  Before he could finish his sentence, I immediately kicked his knee which made him kneel on one knee, and gave him a knee to his jaw that made him roll on the ground

  He then quickly reappeared beside me trying to kick me, which I quickly counter by catching his leg and smashing him to the table that cause the table now also shares the same fate as the chair earlier

  Before he could disappear again, I quickly jumped on top of him and stabbed his throat with the chair piece I gripped, and twisted it deeper

  ". . . Who's the weak monkey now huh, demon? "

  He didn't say much, instead, he smiled and laughed while using his last strength to murmur his last sentence as he dispersed into dust

  "You. . . Fit. . . His plan. . . " he said as he dispersed fully

  I let go of the chair piece as I sit there. So many questions in my head right now.

  And I had one big question that I hope I can answer myself. Yet I know, no one can answer it.

  ". . . The Lord of Fallen Angels . . . Magical records or history never say that the demon king will call themselves like that"

  ". . . "

  ". . . Huff, great, what kind of bullshit am I now in? "
