Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mamoru's eyes widened as Red produced the collar from behind her. He may not have had much magic experience except for today, but he felt something emanating from that collar and it wasn't good in the least. He had a really good feeling that he did not want that thing on him at all. Pet? Yeah, that determined it. Mamoru was going to have to get out of here now, but how? The woman standing behind him blocking the door, Captain, stood creating a very small opening. One that well Mamoru was going to have to chance.

As Red stepped ever closer to him Mamoru took a step back. "How about no!" Mamoru spun around as fast as her could, using one hand to scoop up his fallen hat and the other flying for the door knob. He rammed against Captain knocking her to the side against the wall as he flung the door open and dashed out. He wasn't the fasted, but hopefully he had that split second of surprise to get free. Else, well he didn't want to know what would happen if it didn't work. He hurried as fast as he could to get to that gate to get the hall out of here as he tried to get his hat on while running. This was going to be the last time he went exploring, for a while at least.

In his head Mamoru was as relieved as could be he made it out. Mayb they were chasing him he wasn't paying attention, he'd made it to the fence and that was something to him right now. Quickly climbing over he dropped down and was ready to continue his escape right when a care engined sounded and headlights temporarily blinded him. He quickly fell backwards onto the ground just as it screeched to a halt in front of him. To say his heart was racing would be an understatement. Mamoru was backed against the base of the gate, breathing very heavily. He almost ran me over! That was the only thought running through his mind, he had completely forgotten about the 3 inside the mansion behind him. The car and it's driver were his full concern at the moment.

As the person exited the car and spoke to him Mamoru just stared, still trying to catch his breath and control his heart rate. He was able to get some thoughts out at least. Who the hell is this guy? Mamoru wasn't familiar with either the cafe nor the circus and he had perhaps luckily not had him as a sub today like a few others. Slowly Mamoru rose to his feet, using the fence behind him as support as he looked at Hermes, glaring rather harshly. "Th-The hell you trying to do? Kill me?!" He finally spoke, and of course the first words out his mouth was him yelling rudely.

Mamoru stared at Hermes. What the hell was up with this guy? He was ... really weird. What kind of a question was that he was asking? He did have a very strong point though, Mamoru's temper was much too quick to ignite and that would definitely be his downfall if he never got it under control. Well, Mamoru wasn't going to admit that even if part of him knew it. Maybe with all the different people on this campus that he'd already met they'd somehow help change his attitude. Mamoru just frowned as he glared at Hermes, he didn't like this guy much at all.

Hermes had a very strong point though, Mamoru was the one at fault he had been the one to sneak onto his property. Wait, his property? He was the owner? The so called 'Master'? Well he definitely had the same weird feel as the mansion. Though considering his guards Mamoru actually became cautious, just what could this guy be and what was he capable of? "Sorry. Not like I was doing anything anyway. I was just looking." Well it was a good enough apology right? It was clear from his expression though he was forcing himself to do it and not entirely sincere.

Mamoru still kept a little cautious, but let out a small sigh. Well he seemed better than his guards at least, which might not be saying all that much. Least he wasn't going to die or be tortured, yet. Mamoru only sighed again at Hermes' observation. Bad day? That's putting it way to lightly. "You could say something like that." He muttered out softly. Caught in a fight with some demon kid, harassed by a perverted freak, and then almost had who knows what done to him by some crazy 'guards'. Yup a 'bad' day. Oi, this school was too much of a pain. Why couldn't there be some normal people here?

Mamoru just stared at Hermes' offer though. "You almost run me over ... and then you ask for my help?" How did that even work? Mamoru rolled his eyes however the reward was slightly intriguing to him. Useful to him? What on earth could that be? It was clear Mamoru was debating about what to do about the offer. He wasn't keen on helping some random weird stranger with crazy subordinates, but well ... he could hear him out first. Especially at the note of a reward of sorts. "What's the request?" He wasn't agreeing to it just yet, he'd have to see what he was potentially getting himself into. Then he'd give an answer.

Mamoru raised a brow. Find a student and bring her to him? That was it? It kind of seemed ... too easy to be true. Why would he bother asking Mamoru for such a simple task. If he's connected to the campus there should be no need for outside aide. On the same note however, it was an easy request. Wouldn't take much effort and it didn't seem like anything could really go wrong to make his life any worse. Not to mention this offer of his was rather generous in a way. That was a strong power to offer him, even if only a one time deal. The only downside was it was those guards he met, 2 out of them were not exactly ideal help. Then again they were obviously strong so maybe it could be overlooked.

As Hermes described Friday lightly Mamoru thought about it. 3-B was his classroom after all. Had he seen this girl already? Luckily it wasn't that Alitharia girl, if it had been here oh god he's refuse right away. Small, black hair, red eyes. Mamoru thought back for a moment. Wasn't there ... a small quiet girl in the back? Thinking about it there had been hadn't there. So he had to find that girl? Mamoru looked back at Hermes along with the gem sitting in his hand. "Fine. I'll do it." What did Mamoru have to lose from the offer? Simple with a worthwhile reward. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not interested in helping you. I'm doing it for the offer." It was for that reason and it was easy. Mamoru wouldn't help Hermes out had it been for anything else or no reward. He wasn't that kind, but scratch his back and he might scratch yours back as they say.

Mamoru stared at his hand as Hermes grabbed his wrist and deposited the gem into his hand. He looked back up at Hermes, he'd make a note of that, though he wasn't exactly planning to be working for this man. He wasn't some kind of manual labor. He'd do it this time, but after he wouldn't be as willing depending on the assignment. "Yeah yeah, I got it." Mamoru wasn't exactly the most honorable but he wasn't some kind of cheat either. He'd do the task unless it got out of hand, which this one shouldn't.

Mamoru tensed slightly though as Hermes continued. He already knew to be cautious of this man and his obvious magic and such but that only reminded him to be careful. His little 'payment' was obviously more than just that. It was insurance that Mamoru got the job done. He'd take Hermes' word for it, he didn't want to nor did he plan on finding out just what else that little gem could do. "Understood." He replied as he slid his hand and the gem into his pocket, for safe keeping.

Mamoru just watched as Hermes got back into his car and drove up to the house he'd just escape from. Well, that hadn't gone as bad. His trip inside had, but at least this guy hadn't tried to kill him, yet. He did become a messenger of sorts though but whatever a simple taste for a decent reward. It would probably come in handy on this campus, never know when he might need something. Hopefully he'd have some luck and not get that creepy little child for aide, she worried him the most. "No point just standing around here." He also wanted to get away from this place pretty badly. Grabbing his bag that he left out here he turned and headed back towards the main campus hoping to find a place he wouldn't be bothered this time.
