It had been three days since they had a run-in with the demon spawns, since then, they were ordered told by the teachers to stay indoors as the teachers search for whatever demon was releasing spawns in the forest with some higher-grade students.

Zoe was among said students and Hunter was yet to see her since. He was tired of staying in the suite doing nothing but he couldn't do anything except oblige to the teacher's instructions.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREOtuxvkH6
While every other student finds something to keep them occupied, the trio decided to play some chess as they wait for the teachers to handle the situation.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvvYYVpTRQ
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWxPVw78uI
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeo5Way2XI
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVP4J6NbN
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNN4Op8Ny
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs4IrizKfP
Hunter picks a bottle of water and passes it to Sydney, "I was meaning to ask you," Martin stated, "why is there so much bottled water in your room?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiMimNS5BO
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ9ji3B0fs
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vUzTDyJEl
'Huh?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYlNPiziBF
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mxuif2AmU
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOMI2P9ugw
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNx7qdvAXu
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqs0pBx2yH
"Something's coming this way."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhkC90qRMf
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66eMkjntCs
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QSlwSdWAP
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjOUFOdBFW
"A pure demon!" He exclaimed. Before they could react, a wave force hit the building, forcing it to destroy and crumble to the ground. Hunter quickly twists and catches the falling Sydney in his arms before carefully landing on his feet.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4NlM8xkLt
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiakRfiEinB
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKFJdhy49N
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc9b7I1eJa
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqX8JGWsa
"What?" Sydney queried
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXQEfNrTSg
"We're in its domain,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvojGpCcSW
"Students!" A teacher called, he was the only teacher that stayed behind at the suite while the others went in search of the demon, the same demon that was now coming for them.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y7OyKpsqa
The teacher swings his hands trying to form a portal but nothing happens, "Magic negation ..." He whispered to himself, "All of you! Run the other way, I'll hold it off!"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyV09HTz4A
Hunter and the others began racing the other way but no matter how far they ran, the dark mist seem to stretch farther, "What now?" A student wondered.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLsrD4LIWM
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRD4JSouy
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFho5DDhH55
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKvgEmZrlA
"No," she shakes her head, "Whatever this is," she made a sweeping motion with her arm that encompassed their surrounding of dark mist, "It's stopping me from doing anything,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H2lT17rxe
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GNmZJ2TSr
"It's coming!" Hunter warned the others and as if on cue, the demon pops out from below the ground in front of them before floating in the air, cackling as it stood above the terrified students.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp1MT6Y9bg
The demon was large with black lines running across its entire body. It had a helmet-like head that didn't cover its teeth, horns for where the eyes are supposed to be, and two black lines that zigzag down its face. Its arms were entirely black while its fingers were white.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSxaK4NFDu
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59twdw8uc2
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZMZbJZOKq
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRB1BP6Ixt
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHozYYool
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD799JNsqu
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH8sTro1GJ
"That's j --" the demon sighs, "alright, pay attention, I'm going to teach you a new skill," He stated, "See the mist around you, how do you think they were formed?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUqrUoUPuX
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29kGsDwFik
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyunoNdNOsy
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiqFn8OXI3
"You're looking at this wrongly," his demon sighed, "here's your first lesson: in every magic spell or whatever, there is always an energy to be harnessed from it,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLobjifdBk
"Oh,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR8cksVF8j
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo5bU35hd1
"Okay ..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAiKQICqZe
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3LlLuwFmq
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjpehVMrWk
Hunter focused and focused until he began to feel the energy, it wasn't much but yet, it was stronger than anything he had ever felt before. His hands glow blue as energy forms around his fist and his eyes turn a deeper shade of green.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ256vP8Pffv
The pure demon seems to notice the sudden burst in energy as it quickly turned its attention to Hunter, in shock at first but it quickly regains its composure and lowers down to the ground.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYz0oRVc4W
Hunter rushes toward the pure demon and throws a right jab at it followed by a quick left. The pure demon avoids this by moving in opposite directions.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc9dYBH1eF
The pure demon countered with some strikes of its own, throwing a right cross which Hunter avoids by spinning and hitting it with his elbow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9CSqvLJm6
The pure demon staggers backward and seeing an opening, Hunter quickly moves and attempts a roundhouse kick but the pure demon catches his leg and flings him away. As he flies backward, he sees the pure demon disappear and reappear in front of him, hitting him with an uppercut, and sending him crashing into the ground, causing it to crack.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUbMKoYj81
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawU0JCI20
Hunter got up from the ground causing the pure demon to grit its teeth. It formed some dark energy blast and launches it continuously at its opponent, when the dust settles, Hunter emerged shirtless.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzffuLseitb
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C21Ppqns5
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLLhToZ9qg
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgs9S1PVdm
'Really? I didn't know that!'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJw88IVc6
"You can't see me but I just rolled my eyes," his demon says, "What I mean is he is a very strong demon and the energy from the mist is much lower than the one he has,"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq57HiFmLWp
'What if I draw energy from him?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxURPkC0ow2
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPRw078RdO
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUVGbnGOrJ
"Give me control of your body."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOixy0jJ1Pm
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXr46RHBZI
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AFqveFd4C
'What's the catch?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPwEERenrl
"None!" His demon exclaimed, "I happen to live inside of your body and I'm pretty sure it's in my best interest you remain alive. Also, it's really difficult finding someone to bond with, so ... Give. Me. Control." His demon stated
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yf9VcWols
"Fine."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EcNd5CSG
Hunter's pupil disappears momentarily and they return as his demon was now in control. He looked the same if not for the loose hair stretching down to the shoulders and with unique markings on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and torso.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgnuCQtib5
He also had two lines on both his wrists and upper arms, circles on both his shoulders with a dot in each, two-segmented curve lines on his chest, and two lines on his stomach.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunzlOQp7Jj
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4dDokSOR
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6JqwBQUqd
The pure demon began launching a series of attacks at Demon Hunter, who easily avoids the attacks as he puts on the buttons of the shirt and roll up his sleeves.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmzlpvp7pb
Once Demon Hunter was finished with the sleeves, he looked up at the pure demon, "let us begin then," he smirked, as the words leaves his tongue, the dark mist disperses causing the now confused pure demon to freeze in its tracks.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPyijrdnE
Before the pure demon could figure out what was happening, Demon Hunter had already closed the short distance between them both before punching the pure demon in its left shoulder, it felt nothing but dark energy through its body before its black hand blows out of the body.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm5Q8XQkDS
"This was boring," Demon Hunter stated before grabbing the pure demon's right wrist, the pure demon screams and screams as its skin ages and ages before falling to the ground.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoSRJMMD6s
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLY3dMZH1C
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6lrCTQvRF
***
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdfiFSI8A3
Hunter wipes his eyes as he opens them to find Lauren looking at him, next to her was another teacher, Mr. Daniel, the one who thought him how to cast a domain.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvuw0OhG7H
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN3HMeGyE6
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxhEjzPPNw
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvFY2fCDb
He looked around the room, he was surrounded by an old concrete wall with dots of crystal like stones poking out of the cracks. On one side of the room was a sink with a mirror above it and next to his bed was a toilet.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxXlNq8vXR
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszG928vj4X
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrV1Vb1D5s
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLOy7XLOFI
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
