Foxy was just about to peek behind me but I grabbed her hand to stop her. She turned her head at me and looked at me in confusion.

"Can you turn into a cap?" I asked in a low voice.

She nodded quickly and took my hand.

- Puff!

In a second, she disappeared and turned into a yellow cap in my hand.

"Answer me ...! What are you?" screamed Emma with all her might. I knew she was under the Demonic Curse, that's why she could not do anything. And that question… Since she had seen my demonic form she would have guessed that I was a demon but of course she still had doubts because her Demon Compass didn't react to me, also why I didn't attack her.

Without answering, I used the cap over my head, dashed to the edge of the building and jumped as I opened my wings.

"Wait!" I could hear her voice accompanied by the sound of her footsteps.

I glided all the way down and returned to behind the tree where I put my bag earlier.

'Demonic Form deactivated!'

[You have deactivated your Demonic Form.]

A second later, a dark aura covered my body, my wings, horns and tail turned into the dark aura and disappeared, and the colour of my eyes returned to normal.

"Master, I didn't know you could shape-shifting like me," Foxy's voice sounded from the cap over my head.

"This is just my human form. I can't turn into many things like you," I replied. It felt weird talking to a cap. I took Foxy from my head.

"I'll put you in my bag for a while." I put her in my bag and left it slightly ajar, so she could breathe.

Quickly, I put on my sweater and grabbed my bag. I raised my hand and clenched it.

'Devil Space Deactivated.'

The sky above me broke like glass and uncovered the real sky. All the damage caused by my previous battle suddenly disappeared as the students who had 'disappeared' started to appear. The sound of the students' chatter was heard.

I walked out from behind the tree with an innocent face. My head lifted, glanced at the rooftop for a moment to make sure Emma was okay. I couldn't go to her, since that would be too suspicious. Vaguely, I could see Emma looking all over the place in confusion.

'Looks like her Demonic Curse is gone.'

After heaving a sigh of relief, I turned around and walked towards the gate.

Emma's PoV

Emma trudged up the stairs to the rooftop, panting while her chest ached terribly. She was in class when suddenly her classmates and professor disappeared, followed by a sharp pain in her chest.

Realizing this was the same pain as last night, even though without her Demon Compass, Emma was sure this was another demons attack. She stood from her seat and looked at the window, trying to figure out what had happened.

She tried to focus her gaze, trying to see the winged demon's face more clearly but in vain. Apart from her pain that was getting worse, that winged demon's movements were also very fast.

As she kept watching him from the window, her heart was pounding. She realized, the black lances that the winged demon continued to fire were the same black lances that killed the Imps earlier.

'Is he the one who helps us? But... why? Why does a demon help humans? '

The more she watched his fight, the more questions filled her head. If he was a demon, then why Theo's demon compass didn't react to him? Even though it was clear he was a demon, but somehow Emma's heart refused to believe it ...

'He could be an unknown hybrid-beast. His race was hiding from the outside world but decided to join the fight due to the demon's attacks that have gotten worse recently. '

She knew that possibility was slim, but for her all demons were evil. There was no way a demon could fight to kill other demons to help humans.

The demon flew towards the roof. Emma turned and walked out of her classroom, clutching her chest, enduring the pain. It felt very difficult for her to move her feet, her body was still tired from her previous battle and now she had to endure the pain. She knew that in this state, she couldn't fight or do anything. But it was her curiosity that filled her heart, forcing her to continue walking through the corridors and up the stairs.

-Boom! -Boom! - Boom!

The explosions' sound was heard accompanied by a violent shaking.

"Ahhh!" a scream escaped her mouth as she grabbed onto the wall to keep her footing.

But only stopping for a moment, she resumed her steps.

Explosion after explosion continued to sound, shock after shock made her have to stop her steps. Emma's sight was getting dimmer, her legs was getting heavier to move. But she didn't give up, at least she wanted to know who he was and if he really was a demon, she wanted to know why he was helping humans.

She was on the last staircase when a scream followed by a large object falling's sound rang out. Emma's heart skipped a beat.

'Did he lose?' Her feet stepped, sweat dripping down her face and down her neck.

Her hand opened the door in front of her slowly and peeked through the gap. Her eyes were immediately fixed on the winged demon figure. She swept her gaze around, making sure there weren't any other demons around before she stepped out to approach him in shuffling steps.

"Who ... Who are you ...?" Heavy breathing was heard mingled with her weak voice.

He didn't answer.

Emma kept walking, approaching him from behind.

"Answer me ...! What are you?" she asked again. In her heart, she kept praying that he was an unknown hybrid-beast, not a demon.

But he still didn't answer.

He placed a yellow cap on his head, making her chances of getting a glance off his face getting smaller before running away.

"Wait!" shouted Emma, hastening her steps, trying to chase him. But with her condition, it ended in vain.

"Please wait ..." said Emma in a weaker voice. Her body dropped to the ground weakly, her breath was gasping, her eyes stared at the winged demon that flapped his wings away.

But a second later, she gritted her teeth in determination. She got up and walked towards the place where the demon had jumped. But after several steps, suddenly the sky above her head broke like glass and uncovered the real sky. All the damage suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened there, the wind was blowing hard combing her hair and the pain in her chest slowly disappeared.

'It's him ... I'm sure it's him! '

She remembered, last night she also experienced the same thing. She saw the sky suddenly shattered like glass, but unfortunately at that time Theo and the other demon hunters didn't notice it because their eyes were too busy looking for the demons. Whereas they only considered the pain in their chest as an ordinary anomaly due to too many demons gathered in one place.

As the pain in her body improved, she immediately walked towards the edge of the building and looked down, trying to find the winged demon but she didn't find it.

Not giving up, she swept her gaze, trying to find a clue or whatever but she could only see the students that pass through the courtyard and no one else noticed this incident apart from her as if she was just hallucinating. But of course, she knew perfectly that she didn't.

She let out a tired sigh and dropped herself to the ground, not expecting her efforts ended in vain.

"Damian ..." she muttered unconsciously. He was the only clue she has now. The only person she could tell about this without considering she was insane.Because even though Larry and Theo already believed in yesterday's incident, this incident was different. A winged demon killing other demons sounded more absurd than the black lances that suddenly fell and killed the Imps before their very eyes.

She got back to her feet and ran back into the building.

'Yes! I have to meet Damian today! '
