Iker: the founder of the college made a deal with God to get a demon to protect the college
King: wait is that usually how it works?

Iker: who's telling this story?

Iker: welcome to historic bricksbury campus
Iker: the most storied and venerable of institutions
Iker: with a noticeably low crime rate because its protected by a demon
Iker: i mean this demon works better than any sort of campus security
