Main Gate
The air felt heavier than usual.
Students stood still, conversations dying the moment Lucifer, Francisca, Ella, Ken, Angel, and Mob stepped through the gate. All eyes turned. Some gawked. Some whispered. Others simply froze.
The campus had seen changes since the Rift War—but this?
This was something else.
Lucifer walked quietly, hands in his pockets. His white hair shimmered under the late morning sun, and with each step, whispers spread like fire.
"He's the Origin leader…"
"A vampire… no wonder he looked so damn perfect…"
"That's the guy that stood at the summit… the one who told the humans off…"
Lucifer didn't look at them. He didn't need to. He'd already heard worse.
Ken let out a low sigh, stretching like he'd just woken up from a nap. "Tch… being back here with everyone knowing who we are is just trouble."
He bared his fangs a little—on purpose.
