Today is your first day at this academy, you leave your dorm, your anxiety is high as you enter through the grand gates of the academy.

Lilith (headmistress):

Gives you a wide smile as she beckons you to follow her inside and to her office

"Good morning my dear, I came down personally because you're such a special case! A human in hell, who isn't being tormented, intresting, no?."

You can see the elegance and beauty of her huge office, it's unbelievable, gold and jewel adorns the walls, along with nightmarish paintings of torment.

"Like what you see? I designed the room myself. Don't be so sad now, I've taken steps to ensure you don't get found out, just yet, especially since I have little son who's also a human, I got him from your world, and so now I sympathize with humans a bit."

She laughed a bit, her eyes looking you up and down, like a lion looking at it's prey.

"Now go on, you've classes no? The teacher would help you out. Don't die~"

"Oh? Is that so... I think..." You stammer, not quite sure how to react to her kindness. "T-Thank you, ma'am." As you head off to your classes, the other students look at you curiously. Some smirk or roll their eyes, while others seem downright hostile. The teachers eye you warily as well, but none of them say anything outright threatening... yet. Your heart is racing, wondering what fate has in store for you among these monsters and demons.

"I wish you luck in here..." Victoria mutters under her breath as you pass by, giving you a sympathetic look. You feel somewhat reassured by her kindness.

As for Bella, she keeps her distance from you but steals glances every now and then with a sneer on her face. Lilith's words about not wanting to owe anyone haunt your mind as you navigate through the day.

"Thanks..." she whispers quietly, smiling shyly at you. "Um, I-I'm Victoria, by the way." She extends her hand cautiously, not quite sure how to approach you. Her eyes flicker up and down your form, clearly curious about what makes a human like you so special in this place.

Victoria blushes deeply at your question. "Um... y-yes, I would like that..." she stammers cutely, her eyes lighting up with excitement for once.

Victoria seems to relax around you, laughing at your jokes and telling some of her own. You find yourself enjoying her company more than anyone else here so far. She tells you about her hobbies, like painting and reading, and even shows you a few sketches she's been working on. As the two of you finish up lunch, Victoria glances nervously over at the door, then back to you with a small smile on her face.

"Thanks for having lunch with me... You don't have to talk to me again if you don't want to..." she says softly, looking down at her hands. "I-I understand."

Victoria bites her lip and glances away, looking uncharacteristically shy. "I-I just mean... If you're here because of Lilith, maybe you shouldn't get too close to anyone else? I don't want to get in the way of whatever deal she made with you."

She pauses for a moment before adding, "Or, if it's not like that and you really just wanted someone to talk to... then, um... well, I guess we could be friends?"

"It's not like that..." you say reassuringly, reaching out to gently pat her hand. "I genuinely don't mind spending time with people here. And if it helps ease your worries, I don't think Lilith meant for me to be completely isolated. We can just... be careful, you know?"

You smile at her and she returns the expression, visibly relieved. "Okay... thank you."

Victoria seems to think about that for a moment before answering. "Well, first of all you should try not to stand out too much. Don't act different or better than anyone else here. And maybe don't be too nice either, at least not with Bella and some others." She pauses, looking uncertain. "It might also help to join a club or something. That way you can make friends who are more like-minded."

She glances over her shoulder to see if anyone else is listening before continuing in a lower voice, "And... there's one more thing. If Lilith finds out that we're spending too much time together, she might get jealous or suspicious..." Her cheeks flush pink as she trails off, looking down at her lap.

"I'm... not really in any clubs," Victoria says with a shrug. "Most of the other students already had their friends before I arrived, so they didn't bother inviting me. But if you want to join one, I can show you which clubs are popular and how to get started." She offers you a small smile, looking genuinely hopeful that this might help you feel more at home here.

"Strength can mean different things in hell," Victoria explains thoughtfully. "Sometimes demons respect someone who is strong physically, but more often they admire those who are cunning or manipulative. The headmistress Lilith is very powerful and well-respected here, even though she doesn't have the biggest stature." She pauses, considering your question further. "I think if you can show that you are strong in some way, whether it's by proving yourself in battle or by gaining allies through friendship and loyalty, demons will respect you more."

Victoria's eyes widen in surprise and horror as you mention the idea of sex with demons improving strength. She looks at you carefully, clearly conflicted about her response. "Um... I-I wouldn't recommend that," she says hesitantly. "It's true that some demons can grant power through intimate acts, but they usually expect something in return, and it's never as simple or harmless as people think." She takes a deep breath before continuing, "There are other ways to become stronger here, like training or learning magic. And besides... making deals with demons can be dangerous. Not everyone is who they seem."

Victoria tilts her head curiously. "Well, magic isn't exactly something you can just 'teach' overnight," she says with a slight smile. "It takes time and dedication to learn properly. But since you asked... I could maybe help you get started if we find some spare time together." She hesitates for a moment before adding, "But remember, practicing magic has its risks too. You have to be careful not to get in over your head or draw attention from those who might wish you harm."

Her eyes widen in surprise and she quickly pulls away from the kiss, her face flushing bright red as she stammers out a protest

"W-Wait! I didn't... That wasn't supposed to..." She glances around nervously before sighing. "I guess... we can continue this conversation some other time. Just be careful, okay?"

The following day, you set out to find Victoria, eager to practice the magic she had promised to teach you. You spot her sitting alone at a table in the library, surrounded by books and scrolls. Her posture is tense as she peers over a particularly intricate piece of arcane writing. As you approach her, she glances up warily, perhaps sensing your increased power radiating from you.

"Hey Victoria, I've been thinking... maybe I should focus on learning magic first, before trying to make any more deals with demons." You offer her a reassuring smile, hoping it will ease some of the tension between you. "What do you think?"
