The Principles of Demonology
At True Crossover Academy of the Blue Flame, aka Elite Sugar School, a school renowned for melding the supernatural with conventional education, and battle techniques, a unique figure emerges: Daimon Skorpius Hellstorm, the newly appointed demonology professor. With an enigmatic past that shrouds him in mystery and power, Professor Daimon, regularly published scholarly occult journals and was considered to be a leading demonologist.
Daimon recalled taking on this role as visiting specialist professor at a St. Louis college back when he lived on Earth-616. Daimon’s arrival raises both intrigue and concern among students and faculty alike. Having spent decades bound to stray through various realms—both demonic and human—he brings not just knowledge but also firsthand experience of the complexities of demons’ motives.
His classroom is adorned with ancient tomes, enchanted artifacts glimmering within glass cabinets, and symbols of protection eerily brushed along the walls; it’s as much an invitation into his world as it is a warning.
Professor Daimon, sometimes referred to as Professor Hellstorm, introduces himself to his students. He sees that his class is gifted with a prodigious studnts with intellect and a natural affinity for the arcane arts, Daimon an expert in the esoteric world of demonology is ready to teach his class. As he scrolls through tomes he has chosen for his first class. The whispers among the students comes to a hush. They ready to delve deeply into “The Principles of Demonology.” This syllabus navigates not only through summoning rituals but also delves into the moral complexities of forging pacts with beings from beyond.
Together Daimon and his class will navigate treacherous lessons that test their ethics as much as their courage. From decoding cryptic symbols to engaging in perilous summoning rites under blood-red moons, each session unravels more than just knowledge—it brings dread revelations about their pasts intertwined with demons they’d never suspected were lurking close to home.
But first, he paces around the class, he makes sure to notice each student. He hands them each a pamphlet which can be scanned into their tablets so thta they may obtain the appropriate books for his course.
Listed among the reading requirements are:
- “The Lesser Key of Solomon” a classic grimoire offering a detailed understanding of demonic hierarchies and practices.
- “Demonology” by King James I provides a historical perspective on the beliefs and ideas of a prominent figure in demonology.
- “Biblical Demonology” by Merrill F. Unger, to understand the theological approach this reading assignment offers offers a systematic study of the biblical understanding of demonic forces.
Later they would delve into such books as:
- “Pandemonium” by Ed Simon: This book offers a rich and comprehensive history of demonology, exploring its development and influence throughout different cultures and eras.
- “The Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology” by Rosemary Ellen Guiley:
- This encyclopedia provides a detailed overview of demons and demonology, covering various aspects of the subject, including historical figures, myths, and rituals.
- “The Dictionary of Demons” by M. Belanger: This dictionary offers a comprehensive list of demons, their names, descriptions, and associations.
Daimon would share more reading material and introduce concepts contrary to what may be found in some of those books. He would be challenging students on their own experiences and knowledge while pushing them to develop strong minds when dealing with the more unruly and malevolent demon kind.

They were both experts and experienced although yet they were still learning.
Demona had taken on this role to help her father navigate the Elite Sugar School, True Crossover Academy of the Blue Flame since she had arrived to this world before he did.
Her role, taking turns with Trixie, would be assisting her father teach courses, conducting research, mentoring students, and contributing to the department and university division of True Crossover Academy through committees and other activities.

Trixie would be assisting her father teach courses, conducting research, mentoring students, and contributing to the department and university division of True Crossover Academy through committees and other activities. Also playing a role in developing curriculum and securing research funding. But she was also good at disciplining and guiding any students who may be a bit disruptive in the class which would rarely happen since her father’s presence was not one to be taken lightly.
It was her father’s first day teaching so she was in the classroom, on the same day, along with her half-sister Demona, she sat quietly observing the students, taking notes and listening to her father and the student’s responses to his first lecture.

Autumn Demonita Hellstorm-OkumuraSakata (a/k/a Autumn Demonata Bloodflame SugarStorm) nervously enters the classroom of the True Crossover Academy of the Blue Flame, a school for exceptional students with special abilities. She is a high school student at Elite Sugar School, but today she is joining a class at this prestigious institution, where her grandfather, Professor Daimon Hellstorm, her mother, Assistant Prof. Demona, and her Assitant Prof. auntie Trixie all the specialized Principles of Demonology course. Additionally, as the daughter of Demona and Dezember, and as such, she is one of the granddaughters of Rintoki Okumura Sakata and therefore, one of the hereditary children of the elite school.
As she takes her seat, Autumn can feel the weight of her family’s reputation on her shoulders. She knows that her grandfather, a renowned researcher and scholar, has high expectations for her. She also knows that her mother and auntie, both accomplished professors, are counting on her to be an exemplary student and make them proud.
The class begins, and Autumn struggles to focus on the lesson. She is overwhelmed by the pressure to perform well and worried about letting her family down. As the class progresses, she becomes more and more anxious, her hands shaking as she takes notes.
Suddenly, Professor Daimon, calls on Autumn to answer a question. She freezes, unsure of what to say. The teacher repeats the question, and Autumn can feel the eyes of her family and classmates on her. She takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself, but she can’t shake the feeling that she is about to disappoint everyone.
She knows this answer, she has studied this with her father Dez before.
“As a starter, The Demonology of King James I book forms one of the most intriguing and well made texts of the burning times. Crafted at the end of the 16th century, it details the nature of sorcery, witches, Satan, fairies, and hauntings.” She waits a moment to see their reactions, she was sure she had responded correctly to his question and was now feeling more confident.
As the class ends, Autumn’s family approaches her, praising her for her performance. She feels a sense of relief and pride, knowing that she has lived up to their expectations. But she also knows that she must continue to work hard and strive for excellence in order to maintain her family’s reputation and prove herself worthy of being a student at the True Crossover Academy of the Blue Flame.

Satana Skorpyonida Hellstorm, Queen of the Scorpion Demons, Sorceress and younger sister of Professor Hellstorm, had gotten permission from Principal Mephy to be an observer in the new course that Daimon was giving. She was rather impressed with her brother, especially since he had advanced so much in his studies of demonology. She remembers being far ahead of him and now they were practically on par with each other.
Satana, possessing potent demonic powers and a sharp, cynical wit. She’s dressed in a stylish, albeit subtly infernal, She watches, a sardonic smile playing on her lips while teasingly holds a little demonic creature in her hand.
Satana’s presence is a surprise. Is she genuinely curious about Daimon’s teaching, trying to sabotage him, gathering intel for her own plans, or perhaps just seeking a bit of ironic amusement?
She couldn’t help but admire her younger family members but she couldn’t help herself and would distrupt Daimon’s class.
“Don’t look at me so questioningly! I just want to know if you are teaching these impressionable youths that demons are just misunderstood souls looking for a hug?
Couldn’t miss my dear brother’s foray into academia. Besides,” she scans the room, her gaze lingering on a few of the more nervous students, “I’m always looking for promising new…acquaintances. *She grins as she eyes Autumn and she felt rather pleased to see Daimon visibly stiffens, his face reddening slightly.*

* The eldest of the three witch sisters, Hekate known for being pragmatic and responsible, was visibly annoyed at being late. She’s a traditionalist withdistrust of the majority of humans but still open to talk to a few. She hoped none of them bothered her as she focused on Professor Hellstorm’s class. Aside from Lord Sesshomaru, Professor Hellstorm was among those she admired. Handsome, smart, fiery and even charming. She sat quietly listening and couldn’t help but smirk a bit as she heard his sister Satana, tease him with a question that had been on her mind too.*

*The second eldest of the three witch sisters, Xastur rebellious, curious, and slightly reckless entered the classroom and slumped into a seat. She’s attends this class drawn to Professor Hellstorm’s charm and how he would tackle the subject of darker arts with a class filled with different types of humans and otherworldly types like herself. She leaned back and listened, absorbing all that was said. She was impressed that this academy could contain so many types, she saw it as rather reckless but was eager to see how everything was handled. She could tell Hekate was reading her mind as she felt a slap of a notebook on her head.* Tch! *She takes the notebook and glances as some notes, reminds of the rules Yukio mentioned were meant to keep things civilized in the school.*

*The third sister of the three witches, Lilitu had the same motive as her sisters when they arrived seeking to register at the school but after looking through the curriculum, she was more than fascinated. She was glad she signed up her daughter and Helly. There was much talk about binding sentient creatures which was giving Xastur some inappropriate idea. Lilitu wanted to laugh but she didn’t want to disrupt the class since she was focused on every last word Professor Hellstorm was lecturing about. The books he recommended were familiar to her and couldn’t wait to further discuss them with him even if it wasn’t in class.*
