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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguDsG0S7k
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBq0vM2lK
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAYV3EJJqK
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdN9mUnPTp
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43mumzV1XB
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioS924PUDe
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlaD0LdAGX
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?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2yO57UiU
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmyDjQ9rYn
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlHjC4SZGf
'Huh?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQXYfUdiAv
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzBvC0FMDS
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAePp5rcR4
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQgrJnQE2p
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpipnQdFdZ
"Something's coming this way."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxqFIRlUZ
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQKhu9zEvE
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvoVrmFVI
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQUFA1vTAt
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSyXo5cOfH
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lMqxEv4DU
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAHO64ESs0
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vWMg38TE
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6rmY3QvcY
"What?" Sydney queried
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6StPFODgiq
"We're in its domain,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RoGviLLSX
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVgRlbEaEA
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!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN1rVKOZx4
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zNDwhqyK
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EueG357W1
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SwzeC7np2
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOK90LhFAC
"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,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5tDsMHfxv
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F8QNa4OKz
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPollr5dp
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOOeDy1XF
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKgXkmGGB
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn1f3Qx0uS
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeRC03Tj5N
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPvuPd5kD3
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkBblGfTpy
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnansVoQEin
"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?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIatKxl1FS
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmGwbPB4sI
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DSLYhYDYv
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4q7xTo3i
"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,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr8Jy5laA6
"Oh,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoLvRnglRd
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CdPoVJh2p
"Okay ..."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHwiUq08cK
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgD6MgND3w
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oe0MBKi6v
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwoYGlHSzq
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQtnUeWXRg
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Qn1lnYZ6
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ605vHRcZuT
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOex2T2epbs
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1eSObdYGP
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpTFrMTv9D
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizJGhEEt1F
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4Kdj7zY2
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0dZZ6GLvi
'Really? I didn't know that!'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5B3AcCPl
"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,"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIHl2D2VjE
'What if I draw energy from him?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVV8bqKOZ5
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9mYQGGuK5
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LyhSt7rHm
"Give me control of your body."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXh3aIsfoN
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOdbjjpF1x
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQe2z0Bfog
'What's the catch?'
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhd9ibwjtu
"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
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0yCj9K29T
"Fine."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUHxok68Ju
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9naMdt1qW7
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpjg2znB4T
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS2pITv6HG
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eblAu3KDq
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSTWluPpu8
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPyVirkS7r
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkO0Hi72Xc
"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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2x4ekLu3D
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXi6w53f9V
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZNmLIyYzk
***
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymAIZbJB4q
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOsVUDCt7
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGg4O5F5nK
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AXAw7GNmM
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOJkopfs5
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ra2557XXh
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Ztp8UsE6
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QrBXfY6gD
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8owqRiNWa
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zV5WGNKaO
