Chapter 15: Groups

Jeongin waited impatiently for his potions and spells class to end. It was not because the lesson, subject or teacher was boring. No, he liked potion and spells, he liked Mr. Lee because he was funny but still a very good teacher and the current lesson about a little portal spell was very interesting but the young kitsune just wanted to run out of this room and to his home room in hopes of meeting a certain cat hybrid with freckles.

To be more specific Jeongin wanted to run up to Felix and hug him for no reason at all. Ever since the little sleep over they had at the Lee's house Jeongin wanted to be around Felix a lot more for no real reason. Maybe it was because he let Felix's sunshine-like personality infect him a little bit.

Seungmin and Jisung, who sat on the two desk to the young fox spirit's right side, where slightly confused by Jeongin's impatient behavior because normally he was the quietest and calmest of the three but he couldn't keep quiet or still today. He even messed up the spell they were currently learning multiple times, which was very unlike him.

"By the love of all gods. Yang Jeongin would you please focus. I know you can do better than that", Mr. Lee, a 25-year old warlock with white hair and dark brown eyes, called out when Jeongin messed up the spell again.

Jeongin mumbled a "Sorry" and wanted to try again but Mr. Lee walked up to his desk, which made the kitsune stop his current motion. "What's wrong, Jeongin? Normally you mastered a spell by now. Are you not feeling well? Did something happen?", Mr. Lee asked quietly so only Jeongin could properly understand him.

"Nothing happened", the blond boy answered while shaking his head lightly. Mr. Lee just released a breath. "Alright then", he said and moved so he stood behind Jeongin. "I know you normally don't need my help but guess today is an exception. Focus on what I am saying and do exactly what I instruct you to, alright?", the older warlock instructed. Jeongin nodded eagerly, hoping to finally get the spell right.

With the help of Mr. Lee, Jeongin finally focused and created a small portal like everybody else more or less. It took a bit of afford to stabilize the little portal since it was a lot of focused magic but Jeongin managed it just fine.

Mr. Lee patted his shoulder with a proud smile on his face and returned to the front of the class just as the bell rang.

"Good job everybody", Mr. Lee complimented the class. "Practice this spell at home a little bit so we can try to teleport things from one point to another with the help of the little portals but be very careful, alright?", he added and then dismissed everyone.

Jeongin quickly stuffed his things into his bag and then sprinted out of the classroom without much thought, which left Seungmin and Jisung kind of speechless for a moment. Yes, the younger just ditched them.

——————————————

"What's up with him today?", Jisung mumbled. Seungmin just shrugged and shook his head. "I will follow him while you talk to Mr. Lee about your visions", the redhead reminded the other.

Jisung had told his best friend about his plan to talk to Mr. Lee about his visions just this morning and in all honesty Seungmin seemed to be very glad that the blue-haired warlock would finally do that since he had suggested it multiple times but Jisung refused because his vision never really showed anything up until now.

"Alright. See you in our society class then", Jisung answered. Seungmin nodded and ran out of the classroom in hopes of finding a certain blond kitsune.

Jisung walked up to Mr. Lee's desk who currently ordered some sheets into one of his folders. "Mr. Lee? Can I talk to you for a minute?", the young male asked, fidgeting with his fingers. "Sure you can but remember that it's just Minhyuk after the lessons. It don't like to be called Mr. Lee all the time. Makes me feel old", the older warlock chuckled and looked up to meet the Jisung's eyes. He smiled kindly like he did most of the time.

Jisung slightly mirrored the kind smile of his teacher but still felt a certain nervousness. "Do you have any experience on visions?" the young male asked and fiddled with the hem of the yellow sweater he was wearing in order to keep his finger occupied. Minhyuk looked a little bit surprised at the question.

"Yeah I have. Never had them myself but I learned about them. What they can mean, what they can cause, how they work and why only certain warlocks have them", the older warlock answered while tilting his head from side to the other while recalling the things he knew about visions.

Jisung stayed quiet for a short while. He thought about the words he would use next but it somehow felt difficult to ask about his own vision. Minhyuk mustered his student and slightly opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted by a knock on the classroom door and a familiar face, which peeked into the room. 

It was another teacher of Miroh High. The sports teacher Lee Hoseok but he always introduced himself as Mr. Shin or Wonho to students. Most of the time as Wonho because he didn't like to be called Mr. Shin all the time. It made him feel so far away from his students.

"Sorry to interrupt so suddenly but Hyungwoo is searching for you, Minhyuk", the black-haired male excused his action while looking from Jisung to Minhyuk. The warlock with the white hair turned his attention from his colleague back to his student.

"We will continue this talk another time. Don't be afraid to ask again, Jisung", Minhyuk said to his student and put his right hand on the young male's shoulder while sending him an reassuring smile. Jisung nodded, lightly biting the inside of his cheek. "Good. Now better get to your next class before the bell rings", Minhyuk said. The younger nodded again, bid his goodbye to both teachers and left the classroom in a fast pace.

Jisung slowed down a little bit after turning at one corner and strolled down the corridors absentmindedly. He didn't really think about anything. He just walked with his gaze casted downwards. Suddenly he saw a little scene before his inner eye again.

He saw the cafeteria and his group of friends sitting at their respective table but a certain redhead was missing. Not for long though because he walked up to the table with someone behind him. It was Seo Changbin, the quiet leader of Miroh High's vampire out of all people. Suddenly the scene focused on Minho, who didn't looked really pleased but he seemed to stay quiet and not make any sassy remark.

The scene suddenly changed out of nowhere and showed some members of the vampire gang along with Seungmin. Changbin was nowhere to be seen though. The vampires stood in front of the redhead and didn't look very nice. Something they said must have triggered something in Seungmin because he suddenly showed his horns and devil's tail while glaring at the vampires. The arms of the redhead turned into pitch black claws and the vampires seemed to be scared out of their minds. Seungmin looked ready to jump at them and rip them into pieces. He didn't even look like himself anymore. The creature Jisung saw just looked evil and ... demonic.

Jisung was ripped out of this little cleared up part of his vision when he bumped into someone. "Sorry", he immediately apologized without even properly looking at the person he ran into. "This seems a little familiar", a familiar voice chuckled. Jisung finally looked up to face the person he ran into.

It was Minho who had his usual cat-like smile on his lips. For a short moment Jisung was stunned but then he remembered what Minho said and didn't understand what the older was referring to.

"What do you mean, hyung?", Jisung asked in confusion. "I will say it in your words", he stated and cleared his throat like an theater actor before a performance. "Woah, dude. Be careful where you are going", Minho mimicked Jisung's voice. The light bulb above Jisung's head lit up.

"Ohh. I remember", the young warlock said and smiled sheepishly. He remembered their first encounter now. Minho had run into Jisung while searching for Felix. The older's smile transformed into a smirk.

"Good thing you do. Where are you heading so absentmindedly?", the older asked. "To my home room", the blue-haired male answered. Minho started to laugh out of nowhere. Jisung tilted his head to the side in confusion but slowly realized why the cat hybrid was laughing when he started to look around. He was near the indoor gym of the school, which was very far away from his home room.

Jisung's face of realization made Minho laugh even harder while the warlock's cheek became red and he hit the older's shoulder multiple times to make him stop laughing. Problem was Jisung's hits could be described at a kitten pawing something without claws.

"Stop laughing and help me before I am too late for my society class", Jisung complained. Minho slowly calmed down from his laughing fit and looked at the younger with amusement glimmering in his brown orbs. "What do you want me to do? Carry you to your class?", the cat hybrid asked jokingly. "If this brings me to my class on time I would have nothing against it", the warlock huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

Minho just smirked at that. "As you wish", Minho said smugly and casually picked Jisung up like a princess. The blue-haired male shrieked at this bold move but automatically put his arms around Minho's neck. "Hold on tight", the cat hybrid instructed. "Wait, wait, wait. I wasn't serious", Jisung tried to save himself but it was no use.

The older cat hybrid started running and Jisung wrapped his arms tighter around the older's neck out of instinct. The warlock just thought that everything he knew about the abilities of cat hybrid's was nothing compared to the real deal. Minho was one hell of a fast and agile cat hybrid, meaning Jisung was in front of his home room on time.

Minho let the younger down, who was still a little shocked that his hyung just ran with him through the half school like he weighed nothing. "T-thanks", the blue-haired male thanked the older with a little stutter. "No problem, Hannie", the older said and ruffled through the warlock's blue hair.

The bell interrupted any further conversation. "See you in the Cafeteria after this period", the older said. "See you", Jisung answered and slightly waved. Minho mirrored the action with a grin and began running back to the gym, probably being a lot faster than when he carried Jisung.

Jisung slipped into his classroom. Their society teacher wasn't there yet but the warlock was met with the bright smiles and greetings of his friends and a little surprise. Jeongin sat on Felix's lap looking absolutely content like a little child, who got his desired candy.

Sadly they couldn't talk much before they all had to go to their seats because Mr. Kim, a dark haired vampire and their society teacher entered the classroom. Mr. Kim started working at Miroh High last year and was probably the youngest teacher at Miroh High with 24 years but he had a pretty high IQ so it wasn't that surprising.

Besides if you were honest all teachers at this school were quite young. Mr. Kim was also married to their history teacher, which was sometimes quite funny because they behaved like they have been married for years even though they just said their vows last summer.

Mr. Kim laid his folders on the desk in the front and straightened his back. "You will probably all hate me now but we will have to talk about groups and organizations again", he said and leaned on the desk. A lot of people groaned but some also seemed interested like Felix, Jeongin and Hyunjin. Yes, they already knew some things about this topic from their parents but they think this topic was interesting in general.

Jisung had a pretty neutral opinion on groups. He wasn't part of one but didn't despise the thought of joining one, even though he didn't plan on it any time soon. Sure the topic of groups was something pretty much every teacher talked about at some point but it was also pretty interesting since group structures evolved a lot these days.

"I know. I know. It's a boring topic because you have heard enough of it from your parents and your last society teacher but they become more and more important nowadays. Especially after some groups took over the task of keeping up the spells that hide our world form the human one. Does anyone know the names of the group,  who currently have this task?", Mr. Kim asked the class, scanning over his students for a moment.

A girl with green hair raised her hand. "Yes, Akira", the teacher said and looked at the girl. "Currently the Got7 group takes care of this task the most but the groups NCT, Seventeen and K.A.R.D are also considered to be the guardians of our world", Akira answered with a proud smile on her lip. She was one of the best students of the class but unlike Hyunjin and Seungmin, who also had very good grades, she prided herself with those numbers on a sheet of paper.

"Perfect answer, Akira", Mr. Kim praised and smiled lightly,  which revealed his dimples. "And why is it so special that groups like that take care of the spell that keeps our society hidden? I think Jaemin can answer this", the teacher said and looked at a male with dark hair with flowers in it, who sat in the first row. Na Jaemin was a naiad and also a pretty good student.

"Because no member of these groups is older than thirty. Some are even still in school or university, making them the youngest guardian groups in history", Jaemin answered while a proud smile made its way onto the male's lips.

"Correct. Now the golden question. Who of you is already in a group?", Mr. Kim questioned, looking into the class. Nearly the whole class raised their hand. Jisung, Seungmin, Felix, Jeongin and Hyunjin along with two girls didn't. This was a little bit sad if you took into consideration that the class had 24 students and only seven weren't in a group.

"That are a lot", Mr. Kim commented with a whistle. "Swearing loyalty to a group is a big step but you all know that, right? Still the question why someone would do that is a little difficult to answer because everybody has their own reason to do so. Does anyone want to tell the class why they joined their group or why they didn't?", the teacher continued while walking around a little bit.

It was really intriguing to see how Mr. Kim made this lesson interesting. Jisung was surprised to see that even Seungmin seemed to listen to him even though the redhead tended to read in his textbook when the topic groups came up since he already knew a lot about all sorts groups.

A male with violet hair raised his hand. His name was Lee Donghyuck but was better known as the infamous warlock Haechan. He wasn't really known for anything special but he was loud and annoying enough to let everybody in the school know his name.

"Donghyuck", Mr. Kim gave the warlock the permission to talk. "I didn't really join my group because it wasn't really a group yet but I mainly joined because it felt nice having a lot of people around that treat you like you are their brother", Haechan explain rather serious but still with a smile, which surprise nearly the whole class. Mr. Kim nodded in understanding.

"A lot of people join a group because of the feeling of protection they get from it. It's a quite interesting phenomenon because nearly everybody, who is a member of a group will say that their group feels like a family to them", Mr. Kim explained and you could see that he had a little proud smile on his lips, probably because he thought about his own group.

The lesson continued with some more implications from other students, like Lee Junyoung who was a member of the group IZ and Son Dongju, better known as Xion, a member of the group ONEUS. It was also revealed to the whole class that five members of NCT were sitting among them. These were Haechan aka Lee Donhyuck, Na Jaemin, Lui YangYang, a wind mage with dark fluffy hair, Lee Jeno, a typical werwolf and Huang Renjun, a warlock, who a lot of girls claimed looked like an angel. They proudly showed the class their group symbols. Haechan had it on his right shoulder, Jaemin and Renjun on their right wrists, YangYang on his ankle and Jeno on the back of his right hand, which nobody had noticed before due his leather gloves.

The reason why the majority didn't catch onto the fact that they were part of such a famous group was simple, nobody paid attention to it because two years ago NCT wasn't that big of a deal. It was a simple group founded by students and teenagers. Now a lot of people regretted not having paid attention to them sooner since a lot of their groups members were very powerful creatures.

"Alright. We got some important things covered already but we still need to discuss the different types of groups. Can somebody tell me something about that", Mr. Kim continued to talk. Seungmin raised his hand to his friends' surprise.

"Yes, Seungmin", Mr. Kim gave the redhead the allowance to speak. "Beside groups there are also clans, packs, organizations, tribes, shoals and simple families. Clans are pretty common among cat-like hybrids, harpies, banshees and mages of the same element as well as packs are nearly normal for werewolves and all wolf-like hybrids. Organizations were more or less created by vampires and were formerly known as courts but after all vampire courts were united under one pair of noble vampires, who were later crowned to king and queen in the 10th century they decided to rename the structure, in order to be able to still create special groups of just vampires. Therefore vampires are the only known creatures, who are directly born into a group-structure but can still decide to be part of a group or organization when they are old enough. Tribes are similar to clans and common among demi-dragons, fairies, elves, dryads, naiads, warlocks and surprisingly nymphs. Shoals are common among mermaids and creatures, who were loners in the ancient times like gorgons, alas and kitsunes now often live in families with their own kind", Seungmin explained in almost one breath, letting the whole class stare at him in disbelief. Even Mr. Kim seemed stunned for a short moment but then a proud smile made it's way onto his lips.

"Perfectly summarized", Mr. Kim praised the redhead. Jisung could see a faint smug smile on his best friend's face, letting him mentally sigh and wonder why he was even friends with this little show-off. 

They discussed the group structure further and again everybody, who was in a group could explain something from their experience. It was overall nice to listen to the many different little stories. Mr. Kim also gave his students many impulses they could think about. For example, what are the difference between the different group structures nowadays and why the groups who were founded in the last fifteen years just stuck with the term "group" instead of clan, pack, tribe, shoal or organization? This was a somehow tricky question because everybody had a different answer to that.

The bell rang and ended the lesson. All students were a little bit surprised because it didn't feel like a whole hour already passed. Mr. Kim really was a brilliant teacher if he made his students feel like time passed by quickly. 

"We will continue this talk next lesson because you seem quite interested now", Mr. Kim stated with a grin. The whole class just agreed while packing their stuff. The majority of the class fangirled/fanboyed a little bit when they saw how Mr. Kim walked out of the classroom only to be met with the face of his husband but the moment was short lived since they went their way rather quickly.

"Should we go to the cafeteria to meet the hyungs?", Felix asked when the five friends were finished packing their stuff. "What's that even for a question. Of course, let's go", Hyunjin said cheerily and grabbed Felix's hand as well as Jeongin's because they were standing the closest to the siren right now and dragged the two out of the class.

Jisung looked after them with the ghost of a smile on his lips. "We got a bunch of idiots as friends" Seungmin commented with a huff while starting to walk. "At least they are our idiots", the blue-haired male responded and followed the redhead, who lightly laughed at the warlock's comment.
