The moment that Syn walked into the class room he felt his lips curl into a smile of amusement as the entire room had eyes locked on him.  Chuckling a bit he walked over to where Mina was sitting and stood off to the side till her instructor asked to speak with her.  Stepping to the side he watched as she walked out then glanced around the room at the other demons in the room.  None would make eye contact with him which was standard with lower ranking demons.  Sighing a bit he reached into his pocket and pulled a single black clove cigarette from his pocket.  After lighting it he spoke softly but his voice came through Mina's shadow to the professor.<br/>"It's a bit insulting to think that I would follow Mina around without being her Guardian.  You my dear boy need to remember that we Demon Lord's don't care much for doing anything you little Witch's and Warlocks want.  I chose Mina of my own will, so...rather than walk out there, how about coming back inside where I can see my charge hmm?"<br/><br/>When the two came back inside Syn smiled as he was standing off to the side so not to crowd Mina in her little area.  As he stood there the professor looked at him.<br/>"No smoking."<br/>"It's a clove, not a cigarette.  The same as incense which you Witch's love to burn at an obnoxious amount.  I think you can deal with it."<br/>"If I may ask...why you chose Mina?  Not even our Grand Master could wield the power strong enough to control you."<br/>Syn just looked at him for a long moment then sighed, looking to the demons in the room.<br/>"How many of you are happy to be here under the chains of these novice Witch's and Warlock's?"<br/>None of the demons spoke.<br/>"Now.  How many of you would go home if the opportunity arose...or kill your charge for having the gal to chain you?"<br/>Every single demon in the room raised their hand after that.<br/>"Thought so."<br/><br/>Syn looked at the instructor for a moment then at the class.<br/>"What you kids fail to remember or realize is that not one of you have the trust of your guardians.  They are protecting you because they are bound to you by summoning chains.  They're slaves.  I bet you wouldn't like it if the roles were reversed now would you?"<br/>Looking around for a moment he spotted a very attractive Succubi and smiled.<br/>"You.  Come here my dear."<br/>As the Succubi started to walk she stopped as a visible white chain appeared around her neck, tethered to her Warlock's wrist.  Syn's eyes began to glow for a moment as the power in the room doubled for a split second and the chain was snapped like it was made of paper links.  When the power died down, the Succubi all but ran to Syn and knelt at his side.  Placing a hand on her shoulder allowed her to stand as she put her hands around his and stood behind him.  Syn then looked at her ex-charge.<br/><br/>"A demon who chooses is much stronger than those who are bound by chains.  I chose Mina because she didn't demand I be her Guardian.  The Hell Cat who was out before me wasn't demanded.  She may not have understood the reasoning behind my agreeing but it's still nice to be asked once in a while."<br/>Turning to the Succubi he smiled.<br/>"What's your name?"<br/>"Cynthia, my Lord."<br/>"Cynthia.  Here is your choice.  Would you like to willingly serve that Warlock?"<br/>The female looked at the Warlock for a long moment then shook her head.  Syn nodded and was about to open a void but she tightened her grip on his sleeve.<br/>"I.  I would like to serve you my Lord.  My clan is all but gone now."<br/>Syn stood there for a moment before nodding.<br/>"Alright.  Well, Mina.  You now have two Guardians."<br/><br/>Smiling he gave her a small bow while Cynthia gave her a 90 degree bow.  The other demons in the class began whispering among one another as Syn opened his mind to Mina.<br/>'<i>Don't fall asleep Mina.  While your instructor is a naive boy, the magic lessons are still important.</i>'<br/>Syn smiled as he looked at Mina but he also knew that this little display of disregard for the instructor's authority would be noticed by the Head Master, which was what Syn wanted.  He wanted to have a chat with the person in charge.
