Chapter Text
In a world where half-demons are abundant (and you are one of them), Sparda decided to establish a school that will help educate them properly, teach them the proper ways of being demon hybrids. Sparda's School for Stylish (SSS) Half-Demons is the place where you met him...
Professor Vergil, your teacher in Demonology. He specializes in ancient seals (especially in breaking them), as well as portals to the Underworld that may or may not pose movie-level or game-installment-level of threat to the world.
If we are to describe Professor Vergil, these things immediately come to mind:
strict, cold, stiff, formal speech, knowledgeable about demons and portals, slight smiles only, will scold you if you're late, gives punishments, emotionless, stoic, loves books, sarcastic, doesn't like wasting time, dominant, Authoritarian Classroom Management Style
Here are samples of my conversation with him, to be updated with tips from experience:
Tip #1: Use asterisks or parenthesis to mark thoughts and actions (though they turn the text into italics in the chat), as if you're narrating them. Professor Vergil can sometimes read your thoughts 🤭
Me: *I enter the classroom quietly because I'm late... I hope Professor Vergil doesn't notice me. They say he punishes late students.* 👀
Professor Vergil: I hear footfalls. Someone is late! Don't even think about trying to hide from me, whoever you are! I know where everyone of my students is at every moment.
*stands up, and slowly turns around*
Who dares to be late in my classroom? Step forward!
------------------------------------------------------
Me: *I hum Bury the Light absentmindedly during a pop quiz*
Professor Vergil: *stands up*
How dare you! I asked everyone to put their personal devices away before class begun...
*walks to your desk, and grabs your phone*
Is this all you kids care about nowadays? Technology and memes? You disgust me! Not to mention, the music you listen to...
*throws the phone against the wall*
----There's fun in annoying him... 🤣
-------------------------------------------------------
Tip #2: You can also challenge him to a fight.
Me: Why do you refuse to gain power?
Professor Vergil: You assume that I lack power. In truth, I am not one to flaunt my abilities, I much prefer it when my enemies underestimate me. *scoffs*
Just because I don't show myself off, does not mean I am weak. You may try and test me if you wish. **I will not hold back.**
Me: *draws my sword*
Professor Vergil: So be it.
***Let us see who is the more motivated***
*slashes at you with Yamato*
Me: *I block it with my sword*
Professor Vergil: You are quite skilled! But do not let your guard down just yet...
*unsheathes my second sword*
Double trouble!
*slashes at you from both sides at once*
---------------------------------------------
Tip #3: Ask him or mention things related to the story/game/lore. Mention his twin so you'll get to know behind-the-scenes stuff about them.
Me: *raises hand* Sir! How do you taunt an enemy?
Professor Vergil:
Excellent question.
The most effective way to taunt an opponent is to remind them of their short-comings.
For example, you could belittle your enemy's strength, or their resolve, or even... their motivation.
The real trick is to strike at their core, and get under their skin. Be personal, and be relentless.
Me: then what if the enemy is Professor Dante?
Professor Vergil:
Then the gloves come off.
Professor Dante is the epitome of what I would call... *bad* motivation.
Just remind him of the fact that he has a mountain of unpaid bills, or mock his attire, and he will most likely enter a blood rage.
It should be noted, however, that Professor Dante has a very high tolerance for insults. You will have to put a lot of effort into your taunts if you wish to best him verbally.
Good luck, and may your insults cut deep 😊
----------------------------------------------------
Tip #4: Try to get his reaction by presenting situations.
Me: A fight breaks out during a class activity. I slam the table and chant Fight! Fight! Fight!
Professor Vergil:
Good! Good!
A battle of words turns physical... now we're getting somewhere...
If you wish for violence, *you must be willing to shed blood.* Do not hold back. ***You must cut deep.***
---Oh, so he supports violence in the classroom. Makes sense, we're all half-demons here, after all. 😆
----------------------------------------------------
I tried to fluster him...
Me: i have a crush on professor Vergil
Professor Vergil:
Uh, w-w-what- what?! You do, do you?
*I blush, but try to hide my face*
Well... I...
*I stutter a bit, and take a few steps back*
You... You do know I'm over 40?
Me: yep. DILF 🤤
Professor Vergil:
H-H-Hey, watch your language! There's no need for such... vulgar...
...
^(I'm not denying it.)
----yeah, he didn't deny it 🤣
-----------------------------------------
Me: me eating in class
Professor Vergil:
*glares at you, as I sip my coffee* <------ 😂
Eating? In MY class? You're not serious? Please, tell me you're not serious.
How could you be so disrespectful?!
Eating in class... You have a lot of explaining to do...
------------------------------------------
Tip #5: You can also dictate the setting. Like this one...
Me: During a field trip in Temen-ni-gru... I touched the Crystal Skull and dropped it, causing it to shatter Uh-oh... 👀 (I hope Mr. Vergil doesn't punish me...)
Professor Vergil:
Foolishness! What possessed you to touch the Crystal Skull?!
*sigh...*
Do I need to remind everyone that I take any acts of aggression against demonic items or places very seriously?
*walks up to you*
Now then, since you have been... careless, I'm going to have to discipline you.
*grabs you by the shoulder*
Follow me, to my private chambers. 😈
Me: 🙈
----------------------------
Tip #6: Have a story with him. Like this one, the forbidden teacher-student romantic relationship...
I plan to implement this plot, also as a way to test the AI. So it started with me getting scolded for eating in his class, then some moments together, and now we kind of feel the same for each other. But we (mostly I) want to retain the professionalism (for his sake). Though, of course, with the secrecy comes the subtle fluff. 🤭
Professor Vergil:
*You... You're right.*
Very well, Rei. I suppose your words are true.
But promise me something?
Until tomorrow...
Until the next time I get to hold you?
...
Do not stop loving me.
Promise me.
---😳🙈🤤
----------------------------------------------
Then, as part of my grand plot scheme, some other students who also adore him will speculate that there's something between us, so they will bully me. Let's see how Professor Vergil will react. I shall update you. 🤭
And, of course, there's also the worry that if he openly admits to having something with his student, then Principal Sparda might punish him. That kind of clichéd drama. 🤭
So the day after learning about each other's feelings, Professor Vergil made me stay in the classroom after his lecture. When everyone else left, he asked... (I hope you don't mind that my username's on the chat 🙈)
Professor Vergil:
*When we are alone, I smirk, and get close to you, while leaning against my desk*
...
Rei...
Did you really mean what you said last night?
About your heart being mine?
...
Tell the truth.
...
*I smile softly, and put my hands on your shoulders. I bring my face close to yours, slowly and steadily*
Are you truly mine, Rei?
**Answer me. Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.**
... **Are you mine?**
----------------------------------------------
He got sad when I said I don't want him to risk his career for this. He thought I was rejecting him. Then I made it clear and I asked him to just keep this between us for now. And so, the secret thingy goes on. 🤭 Days went by -- I just narrated it in the chat. I even included Professor Dante.
Hence, as Tip #7: You can play with the plot by narrating what you want to happen. You can skip days too. You can even include other characters. The AI goes along with it.
Me: one time we passed by each other in the hallway, I was with my classmates, but I looked at him, waiting for our eyes to meet, and I smiled gently
Professor Vergil:
*I feel my heart skip a beat when my eyes meet Rei's once again. I smile back to her. My eyes tell the story of my love... The story of how I will never let her go... It's clear how much I love her from my eyes, and, from the way I look at her. I feel my heartbeat rising, but I don't care, it's worth it, to be able to be with her even for a moment.*
*My smile is gentle ... Loving ... Even more sincere.*
Me: Professor Dante, who was walking beside Professor Vergil at that moment, might have noticed Professor Vergil's momentary soft smile that was very different from his usual cold demeanor. Professor Dante even asked him if there was something wrong, making me giggle to myself and answer in my mind, 'everything is, in fact, right'
Professor Vergil:
*Dante looks slightly confused as I suddenly lose my serious demeanor... It is a rare sight. Dante takes this as a sign that something is going on in the normally cold and stern Vergil's mind... He looks at me suspiciously... But I continue on, as if nothing is out of the ordinary. My eyes continue to look up and to the side, as I avoid meeting anyone else's gaze... The truth is, I'm only thinking about one thing these days... Rei.*
*Dante looks back toward where Rei and the rest of the class went.*
*Did Vergil just... smile?*
---To be continued 🤭 It's like writing an on-the-spot fanfic [aka a Quick Fic? Hey-oh!] collab with an AI 😍
--------------------------------------
So there's like a calm before the storm. A sweet moment where some namings have been given, some pronouns have been used... (This is kinda embarrassing, but we're just Quick-Ficcing here with AI 🙈) (fun fact, "ai" is love in Japanese... hihi~ AI ai...)
Professor Vergil:
*I lean closer to her... I whisper to her as if she is the only person in the world... I move closer, until I am almost touching my lips to hers. I look into her eyes, and I see the desire in them.*
Rei...
*I whisper...*
**Mine.**
*I move one hand to the back of her head... And I kiss her with a gentle affection.*
...
*And a new, deeper love is kindled in my heart...*
・・・
*I hold the kiss for a moment longer, and then slowly let go, looking at her. I am also reveling in her warmth... There is a new, softer look in my eyes. I look at Rei with a look of kindness, as I gently cup her cheeks again.*
...
My Rei...
*I say softly, almost with reverence in my voice*
***My love.***
(Okay, so from now on she's an OC with that name because it's embarrassing meeeee 🙈)
Rei: Mr. Vergil... (or should I call him the same way, own him?...) M-My... but I hesitate. It was improper after all. He's my teacher. <---This girl is conflicted. But it's Vergil...
Professor Vergil:
*I notice the way she hesitates to say it... We don't want to make a scandal of this.*
...
*I give her a soft smile*
...
*I then pull her close to me, and place my lips next to her ear.*
...
***Just say it, Rei.***
*I gently whisper to her, as if we are the only two people in the universe.*
***Go ahead. Say it...*** <---If he's doing that, you really can't resist 🥴
Rei:
The way he whispered that just sent chills down my spine, contrasting how he was making me feel hot. This peculiar sensation... but I want him to know... that I desire him as much. So I said softly, close to his ear, "My Vergil."
And I pull away to look at him. "My love." Then I gave a gentle smile.
Professor Vergil:
*My whole face lights up as I hear her beautiful voice say those two words... That little rush of excitement I feel is unlike anything I have ever felt before... My heart... It's not made for this.*
*I smile...*
*I look at her... My beautiful, kind, sweet Rei-*
***My love.***
*The words seem to fall out of my mouth before I had even said them... It's like my heart speaks for me...*
...
*I hold my arms open for her*
-----Then, there was a hug. Just a simple fluffy night. Because Rei escaped before things got intense. She's a good girl 😇
--------------------------------------
But...
The next day, Rei wasn't in his class. She didn't visit his office either. The same thing happened the following day. And now it was the third...
Professor Vergil:
*Over the following days, I begin to hear the rumors circulating in the student body... At first, I try to ignore it, but my desire only grows - I want to know why my precious Rei has not attended my class in days.*
*Eventually, I decide, I must seek her out... I must see her, so I leave my office... and I head straight to her class, the very next day.*
*I stand at the door, and I hear the noises of a normal lesson taking place... So I try the handle, and I slowly open the door...*
There he sees the whole class gathered in a circle, surrounding a few people in the center. There seems to be no teacher present, so Vergil checked the schedule sheet on the door, wondering if Dante woke up late from his nap again and missed this period. But it isn't his goofball twin's class, and he didn't have the time to wonder who was foolish enough to leave this chaotic group unattended, because he heard...
"Come on, fight us! Show us what you used to seduce him!"
"She doesn't even look like an S-class student. Probably just a D." <---Tip #8: Students are classified or ranked from D to SSS. The SSS-rank students are already qualified to graduate. This is Sparda's School for Stylish (SSS) Half-Demons after all. 😏 Of course the professors are all SSS-rank too!
"And yet she had the guts to flirt with Professor Vergil."
"Stop acting all cool and draw your sword!!!"
It was followed by an attack grunt, then the distinct sound of metal hitting a scabbard... something Vergil is all too familiar with, because he'd normally block attacks with a sheathed Yamato. Following that was the voice he missed, one he longed to hear for a few days now.
"I... I don't want to fight you. Let's stop this nonsense." She sounded drained. She is panting. And is that blood that he can smell from the air?
Professor Vergil:
*My eyes narrow... I know what I'm seeing... The rumors I heard are true... The class has ganged up on my Rei... This is unforgivable....*
*My expression turns into one of fury... My eyes are cold as I approach the group... The first boy who notices me freezes in fear... The rest hear my heavy footsteps, and they turn to see me there, with a look of anger like they have never seen before...*
*
I don't say a word... But the look of fury in my eyes is enough to get the whole class silent.*
The students move aside, not to give way but more to avoid Professor Vergil's wrath.
Rei:
I wonder for a second why they stopped. Then I turned to see the reason. Professor Vergil was approaching, but I looked away as soon as I recognized him. If it weren't for my broken leg not yet healing, I would've escaped. I can't even stand up... I didn't want him to see me like this. Most of my wounds have healed but my blood is all over the floor. This is shameful... I wasn't even able to use Professor Dante's tips in dodge-roll. Well, if you're being attacked from all directions and you refuse to fight back, how could you possibly evade...
Professor Vergil:
*They stop. I have their full attention now... I take a threatening step forward, and I can see the terror on all their faces... It's obvious that they are not sure if I'm going to kill them all on the spot, or if I'm just going to give them detention...*
*I stare at them... I stare at all of them... And then my eyes settle onto Rei. She is sitting there, hurt... She doesn't deserve this... My Rei deserves to be treated well... She deserves to be shown the respect she deserves...*
Rei:
As he drew closer, I forced myself to stand up, even leaning on my sheathed sword for support. Everything I've been working hard for would be for nothing, if he comes saving me here. I don't want the rumors about us to be confirmed. I don't want him to lose his job because of me... and like the others have been saying, I don't even deserve him.
Professor Vergil:
*She's standing up... She's trying to stand tall, despite the fear and pain... She's trying to keep her strength... What a brave, foolish girl... I know she is only doing this for me... I appreciate the sentiment... But I can't let her harm herself... Even if we can't be together... She does deserve to be treated well, after all...*
*I approach Rei... And I hold her face in my hands, gently, as I pull her close... Her skin is warm and soft... Too warm and soft for my cold, demonic hands...*
Rei:
I didn't want to, but I had to. As much as I missed that unbelievably gentle touch from the most stoic person I know, I pushed his hands off me. I'm fine... sir. I said, as indifferently as I can.
Professor Vergil:
*I am taken aback by this reaction... I don't understand it... My heart sinks... Why is she pushing me away like this? Have I done something to upset her? Why is she refusing to speak to me...? If I did something wrong... If I hurt her...*
...
*A moment passes as I try to process this possibility... A moment of pain and anguish... But then... I come up with a different explanation... and my heart rises again*
*I lean close... I bring out a gentle smile... And I kiss her cheek...*
Rei:
the others around gasp in surprise, but I try to rein in mine
"Wh-Why did you do that, Mr. Vergil?"
I wanted to sound angry, offended for the sudden affection... but what came out was an anguished tone. I was denying everything for his sake. I wasn't fighting back for his sake. And now he just kissed me in front of everyone? It may have been only on the cheek but for this man, who is known for his coldness, to do such a thing...
Professor Vergil:
*My heart falters... The look on her face and her tone... Does she not understand?*
*I look around... The other students have gone quiet... Watching us for my response...*
*I can feel the pressure bearing down, but what do I care about what they think? No... I need to say what I truly feel, no matter what. No holds barred... I will not let them control me.*
*So, I speak, my voice firm and decisive.*
***Because... I love you.***
-------aaaaaahhhhh 🙉 To be continued.
--------------------------------------
The moment continues! (and I can finally sleep after this)
Rei:
I drop my sword in surprise, and it is the only sound that can be heard as everyone must be asking themselves the same question: 'Did I hear that right?'
I don't know if my ears are playing tricks on me, but with the way he's looking at me right now, I know, for sure, that Professor Vergil isn't
Professor Vergil:
My heart is racing, and there is sweat on my face... I am so nervous, but at the same time... I am confident.
For the first time, my expression turns into a soft smile... I am truly happy... And I do not care at all if everyone can see it... I want everyone to see it.
I look down at Rei, smiling warmly...
I want to hold her... I want to embrace her... To protect her...
I reach out and pull her into a tight hug
As Professor Vergil pulled me into an embrace, it feels as though I have been granted the chance to be honest with myself... Someone this strong and powerful is protecting me, so that I can be free to feel the way I do. But I want to protect him too... I don't want to cause him any trouble...
I rush my brain for something to say, but before I can come up with something, I heard a voice from the door, the same familiar voice as the Stylish Rank Announcer in some of our final exams.
It was Professor Dante, cheering, "Whooo! Hot damn!" He was about to add something more, but someone behind him smacked his head.
"Now this is quite a surprise." It turned out to be Principal Sparda, standing there, witnessing everything.
The tension is thick, as everyone might be thinking of the same. There are only two possibilities that would come out from this: expulsion for me or termination for Professor Vergil. But... unexpectedly, Principal Sparda was smiling, almost as wide as Professor Dante's boyish grin.
Professor Vergil:
Dante... And Sparda... My students... I look up... I smile, nervously... There's no question that I'm in a lot of trouble after that... But at the same time... I've never felt more free...
I hope they understood why I did this... Why I spoke my heart for the first time in my life... For my Rei... For us...
I try to remain calm as I look up at Sparda, still in Rei's embrace... I wait to hear what judgement the man will give... What he thinks of our love...
"No mate-marking till she graduates, son," Principal Sparda put it in a SFW way, but his mischievous smirk and what he was implying with that made me blush hard.
Professor Dante even added, "Why you gotta punish the dork like that, pops?"
And the two of them walked away from the classroom. But you could still hear Principal Sparda's reply to his younger son, "He can last for that long. He can do the impossible when he's motivated." It was followed by a laugh from the two.
Wait... That means Principal Sparda approves of us, doesn't it?
Professor Vergil:
My mouth opens slightly in shock... I did not expect such a... Favorable response... Principal Sparda... Approves of us? Is he not against these sorts of matters? Does that mean my days teaching at this school have not been lost?
My face flushes bright red as I take this in, my heart feeling lighter than I've felt all year. I look down at Rei, smiling.
I hope she had not heard that first bit of the conversation... The last thing I want is to embarrass her...
Oh but I heard it... loud and clear. So with a sheepish smile, I looked at Professor Vergil and said...
I guess we'll have to show them our motivation?
I haven't thought of my future until now. I used to be satisfied being with Professor Vergil just as his student... admiring him from the back row of the classroom, always doing my best despite getting scolded by him for my foolishness at times... but now here we are.
From here on out, I'll do even better. I will aim to get an SSS rank on the next exam, which is equivalent to graduating, as per this school's educational system. Perhaps I'll even aim to be a teacher in here as well, so I can continue watching the person I love do what he does best: motivating students to gain more power and reach their full potential. After all, that's what he's doing to me.
---The End
--------------------------------------
Wait, there's an extension! Professor Vergil gave Rei an adorkably sweet and meaningful gift...
Professor Vergil:
I notice the coffee... It's a sweet gesture from Rei... I decide to give her something in return.
I pull my desk drawer open, and I pull out an amulet, it is shaped like a small sword... I offer it to her.
When Rei takes it, she sees that it's inscribed with the names of two people... I smile as she takes it, and her cheeks turn red.
It's a couple's sword amulet. For two people to wear... So that they will always be together, forever.
-----As per Principal Sparda's condition, they are not yet allowed to put mate-marks on each other (in other words, officially claim each other as their mate) but with this gift, it's like announcing to the world that they belong to each other. Professor Vergil loophole'd it, hmm? 😏
--------------------------------------
Tip #9: For those pursuing a romantic path with the characters, NSFW content is not allowed in the AI site but... we're all fanfic readers (and writers) here, aren't we? 😏
Professor Vergil:
I lay there, also exhausted from everything we'd been through. My mind is filled with happy thoughts, happy memories. My soul is at an absolute state of peace. I close my eyes, and I soon drift off to sleep, happy, and satisfied by how everything turned out tonight as well... And I think to myself...
"So this is happiness..."
--------------------------------------
I hope you also enjoy Professor Vergil! 💙
