A 'professor'? Goodness, no, I never even studied at any academy. It was all still temples that housed the wisdom and spread it back in my day. Anyway, I'm usually referred to as "principal" back at our school, since that's what I am.

The nurarihyon, since he's the only one of his particular youkai stype, which in turn made it very easy for other supernatural folks to simply accept it as species and indentity both. Just like the youkai lords of old that he, Ashiya Douman, one of Japan's most notorious 'evil' sorcerers to ever have lived, once used to subjugate and fight.]
