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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDF9QojMco
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbsI0Fm6Up
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiwACIlhf
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhI0ui8KfL
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3fkDNIUa
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44hrAzeSDa
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuX6WfAZPD
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?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsi3afO6qY
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrpVJsQHpE
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Lt7CfA71
'Huh?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KIBYXkJh8
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAlLljn0he
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCrGkYdcw1
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpnXqp00w
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA2oFtwMoy
"Something's coming this way."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVAy0onhXk
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoirocofGp
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HcN65xjbC
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx9jb0bBpw
"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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4MZpQGI4
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAtEKts7Kc
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNYmNVtnY5
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka6R5sqKDO
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EMsORfN1u
"What?" Sydney queried
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Zc4Ufe1k
"We're in its domain,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQMMfv5K9u
"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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyghqIChnY
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!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOTKSPHCdR
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LWKFOdw2T
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkDg0MCAv2
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiv8nhENN5
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7wmmAnlh2
"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,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77iCV6XxlS
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqj7TAN52V
"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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY34RLQS99
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlws0uHBOSu
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE82vF9o8p
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKDHhSUjBc
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySg1G8zIZu
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCE8NprbM6
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJByEBJalF
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXt7OCNACQ
"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?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb2TJIizPV
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDk5flr1Ba
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMZyVjyA7j
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC8QDmnVTh
"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,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPlAX0KLTS
"Oh,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF7LJB9MNQ
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqW0KUJmlD
"Okay ..."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wzh5bTxpG
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVouCawUTn9
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkRwWBHbFw
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvsW3KScb
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwTlz9986M
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQQ8DBNgP
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjptlvXE1Ed
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8N5AWfTdf
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GbVmuW65F
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk39wksetyw
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuQVm1wfbi
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPysJkwLCk
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iXKYU9ptT
'Really? I didn't know that!'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKXLwKVaMY
"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,"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKfeh3s4vm
'What if I draw energy from him?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamMTe9mm4h
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaxlr3JsOk
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYGjNvaZzN
"Give me control of your body."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSPq4mMKL
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySK0NP29Q0
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUl8r59DiW
'What's the catch?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ze0hKRFO
"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
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8643OJ4q7
"Fine."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BuFKhcNFh
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3gEdVBUw
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmnTkNiDTr
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybCGGDyQTO
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtO13ljUoE
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLtWyxoexc
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Wco2EAkq
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIovVID9e
"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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqxInfN1H
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19bzjUQk1a
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8S9vY4e8F
***
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosxG26HOiF
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh76hHYoNNf
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fwTM6yhit
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIDpZs0ckF
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQLIcRN9mD
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40SlaJBbQp
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz541L00aM
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtF8JmlKOt
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLldNph44dq
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
