"Better yet, lets rile him up more. An abomination like him has no place here."<br/><br/>Tsukune and Mizore turned abruptly as an upperclassman, the one that had swore to pay Cecil back for the beating he was given, leaned against a tree. A victorious smile plastered on his smug face as he focused on Leilah. He winked at her as he took in the gathered group. A tsk of vained disdain came from him as he straightened up and walked toward them. He was obviously more dangerous than his monster self gave credit for.<br/><br/>"Why are you all here? I fail to see why any of you would care for this abomination. He should be locked away in the deepest cage imaginable." The Student said, arms spread wide as he indicated everyone there besides Cecil, "Why risk expulsion for this half-breed piece of filth?"<br/><br/>The ground was suddenly iced over as the upperclassman found himself frozen up to his neck. His eyes shot to Mizore in alarm as a cry of pain escaped him. His cheek had been lacerated by a shard of ice. Fear dominated his expression as the snow woman approached him with a katana made of ice in one hand. This hadn't gone as he expected and he wasn't sure how to get out of it.<br/><br/>"Don't.... You..... Ever...... Speak..... Of..... My..... Nii-san...... That..... Way..... Again!!!" Mizore screeched almost incoherently with rage, punctuating each word with a wild swing at the upperclassman's face.<br/><br/>She would have taken another had the ice blade not shattered. She started to form another when she felt Cecil's arms close around her while his wings blocked out the world for a moment. She turned to look at him with surprise as he shook his head. The combination of Leilah's voice and Mizore's unwavering loyalty to him had reawoken his human side. He returned to his normal height of 5'7" but didn't return to his human form. That said, his human self had regained control.<br/><br/>"That's enough...." He growled, his lunar pendant stilling as his rage was simmering down, "There's no need to fight my battles for me, Mizo-chan. I love you, but don't try to fight my battles for me, Sis. You know I don't take kindly to that."<br/><br/>He released her as he looked at the upperclassman. His eyes burned with disgust as he approached him. The upperclassman paled as he struggled to get free. Cecil, shockingly, ran his hand along the student's jaw almost lovingly. This served to make the older student pale more.<br/><br/>"If it wasn't clear before, I'm in a whole nother league than you. That being said, convey my greetings to your boss for me as well as a message," He whispered, adopting the exact same tone Hitoshi would use on Leilah when she did what he asked without question, "<span style="font-style: italic">'She's under my protection. You want her? Come get her yourself. Otherwise, I'll come to you, and we both know how tenacious and vicious I can be. You started this fight, so don't be afraid to fight the war I'm willing to bring down on you. I'll be expecting you by the end of the year. Until you show, consider it open season on all your little muppets running around Yokai Academy. I'll be waiting, don't keep me like that for too long, a**hole.'</span>."<br/><br/>He punctuated his message with a one hell of a front kick, sending the student flying for almost a quarter mile before being buried, eagle spread, in a massive tree truck. He reverted to his human form while looking at gathered group. He wasn't entirely calm but he was calm enough not to flip out again. His eyes remained purple but he otherwise looked like he did before, even if he was bare from the waist up. A sigh escaped him as he crossed his arms. This would take a long time to explain as Tsukune handed him his lunar pendant the he'd apparently dropped along the way.<br/><br/>"Alright, Who's first?" He asked, knowing questions were bubbling under the surface.
