The final bell finally rang; he sloppily stood up from his seat and grabbed his backpack. He sat it on his desk and opened it, a meow escaping the backpack as a gray cat with green eyes and scissor blades coming out of the sides of its ears and random parts of its neck. The cat hopped onto his shoulder and rubbed its face on his cheek, "Hey bud, sorry you had to suffocate in there." He closed his backpack then started to walk out of the classroom, but before he left the teacher called out to him, "No Pets in class! A Sage might always be around the premises!" He shook his head, rolling his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, "I'm leaving calm down. It's just a Pet, and the only Sages I've seen are up in the mountains. Also, most Sages are just myths, same for Pets. Only a select few harmless ones are real."
The professor sighed with a grimace on his face, "That's what they all say. Just get out and make sure no Sages spot you with that thing." He rolled his eyes and walked out of the classroom and out of the school, the exit directly to the left of the class. As he took a single step out, someone suddenly flew past his face. "What was-" As he looked back, he stopped mid-sentence, a fellow student laying there, ribcage ripped open, guts disarranged and lying all over them. He glanced back as he heard panicked screams from outside, some students running back into the building, others running around aimlessly.
He looked outside as his Pet pulled at his foot, what he saw was normal, yet weird at the same time. There was an angry old looking dude, yet he had a long beard that he was swinging around like large hatchets shredding through students. His Pet pulled at his foot even harder, the slightly scratched his hand while jumping, "Ok, ok were running! Just chill out Scirety! Hop on my shoulder, were rushing it back home." He leaned down a bit so that Scirety could hop on his shoulder, then he bolted down the hall.
Then there was a sudden loud crash in front of him, a large beard filling up the hallway he was running to. He slid a bit on his heels, then pushed off of the ground with his palm while turning around to run another way. Then he saw the old man looking Sage right in front of him. The old Sage tried to punch him, but he ducked to the left of it; He then grabbed Scirety around the stomach region and said, "Now, Buzz it!" The scissor like blades around Scirety's neck started to spin extremely fast, then he swung him at the old guy's arm, taking a second to cut it off. He then swung at the old guy's neck, cutting his beard off, then sawing off his head. Blood splattered everywhere all over the hall, and all over Scirety and him too.
"And that should be roughly $1,000. Barely covers monthly fees and groceries, but I can cut back the utilities a bit." He picks up the old man head and starts walking out of the front entrance, Scirety being on his shoulder again. He walked out of the school, his day finally over.
A small little bell rang, "Old guys head! How much for it?" He barged into the lightly, yet darkly lit room with blue and pink lights. Some weapons on one wall, some books on some racks, basic utilities, some drugs on another shelve, and a small portion of 'toys.' He looked around, "Yoooo! Scumbag! I've got a head for ya, you going to stop munching on that cookie so you can pay me?"
A man that looked to be in his mid to late 40's walked out of a backroom hidden by curtains, a bald head, yet he had a very large dark brown beard. "How'd you known what I was doing?" He responded while walking to the cash register.
He shrugged while laying the head on the counter, "I don't know, maybe it's because nearly every time I've been here you've been train wrecking your wife." The man laughed while placing the old guy's head on a scale, "50 pounds? Guess you're going hungry with these $1,000!" He slapped the counter while laughing, then he pulled $1,000 out of his pocket. He counted the money, "$12,000? I thought you said-"
"Yeah, I said $1,000, just take it as another one of my generous donations to your well-being, ok? Now get back out there and have fun with your friends! Enjoy your youth a little more." He responded before he could finish talking while walking behind the curtains again.
He walked out of the store while holding his paycheck in front of his face, "$12,000 huh, I've never had this much. Should I just save it?" He looked at Scirety on his shoulder, "What do you think? Should I get you your favorite?" Scirety meowed, "I'll take that as a yes."
He walked down the street and towards a gas station, "Can I get a tiny jar of oil? Like an inch wide, long, and tall?" He asked the lady at the register, "Uuuhhh, yeah, that'll be roughly, 200$. Cash or card?" He pulled 2, 100's out of his pocket, "cash." The lady nodded then called to someone in the back to fill one jar with the measures he gave her to the brim.
The little bell to the door rang, he glanced at it and saw a girl walking towards the counter. The girl had blood red hair up in a messy bun, yet most of her hair was still cascading behind her head; she also had bangs, and some of her hair was fixed behind her ears. Ethereal cyan eyes that seemed to glow a little staring down at the counter. She had a soft face, but a fierce expression while walking to the counter.
She then walked up to him, "What's your name?" She was glaring daggers at him, but he wasn't scared, he could already tell there was something off about her, maybe she was a Sage. He put a hand under Scirety, ready to use him if needed. "My name's Koto. You?"
She scowled a little while looking at Scirety, "Myokyi, and you don't have to be so on guard. I'm only a Sage hybrid. Most commonly called a Watcher." They stared at each other for a moment, "Then why are you looking at Scirety like that? Also, hybrids?"
"Yeah, hybrids are real, and I smell the blood of one on this Pet of yours." Koto's eyes widened, "Oh, um, about that, there was an old guy Sage attacking my school so we kind of killed him. It might be that." She tried to lift him by the scrub, but wasn't strong enough to do it, she blushed and turned away, "Just be careful of who you kill. That Watcher was rogue, but not everyone that looks like a Sage is a Sage. Anyways that's the only reason I'm here, bye." She said before quickly leaving the establishment. He felt a tap on his shoulder as the cashier handed him the oil, "Here you go."

He walked into class again, Scirety moving all over his backpack while in it, "C'mon chill out. I don't want to fall over." He said trying to maintain his balance, then his best friend pushed him a bit making him almost topple over. "Good morning shredder!" He looked back at him, "Good morning weakling."
They yapped a bit about a game while walking to class, then as they walked in when they looked at the front board Myokyi was there. He glanced at her, "Oh hey Myokyi." He said casually before freezing, "Wait... MYOKYI?!"
