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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtTopvizH
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuPtMW7Lu2
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCNwkSCmZB
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dNkj7FO3
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iVoKAPS38
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgh3MnFHkv
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsj5uNjJvx
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?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v31d1rfRp
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk4l1DenQf
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGXGakUKE
'Huh?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZlTshiNPR
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAi7yeKara
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwVwomz0P
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kPAyhgwic
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiG0WBQVTS
"Something's coming this way."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSROYd9NzDj
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHALpWTAvOK
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBZS4RvPR
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMHfCUqI7B
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkNFYVVZy9
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHtFX3XmJa
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xW9CMv2eJ
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uUwFMpHqK
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJdb4rvXbg
"What?" Sydney queried
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVPMwoUfCU
"We're in its domain,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4qOaD0xvN
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vzumEB9cH
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!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPBZzQFlh
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISDVK2lj6
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsokRMIVUp
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXlGtlWfAe
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TVZfoaMp
"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,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqrZHsqr5M
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMcPYnPftp
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfnyVOtKnp
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8bDevTvFU
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXr9OInr6e
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarwb8gFyeQ
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSqoDZdcr
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wAAiM5VQl
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchunFx1iwY
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJaHRr6LL
"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?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM0P3Fu2cC
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWthkdZWy7
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4h81oHfc
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJLSYRArxr
"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,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT4DN4tYy3
"Oh,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKp9LkVM0
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtWHSaho0n
"Okay ..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQr0CpIbSG
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaQHYwe27u
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFqVYRTFbL
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHxaWRDPY
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt6sL7aPHw
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3m1kMDrmq
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gtRqGd9QF
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWFKauoJy2
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL517bUn6R6
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeAxVMg9P3
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyKWSnlpD
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TUJPndfFV
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgchv6Szrx
'Really? I didn't know that!'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDppyylHEPO
"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,"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGuRGvYo5
'What if I draw energy from him?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOwVkqor98
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMPMnOXLm
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO6oqMsDFD
"Give me control of your body."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0QbvIHmNt
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe5XuqTlsz
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGllrasZ4M3
'What's the catch?'
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF9OFaR4m1
"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
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdiFKPcCGl
"Fine."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7WGIYSybL
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBLaOKVltZ
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCjo8jT92g
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODDTUAT68
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVB56iiHL0
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbmEmX63r9
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPs2BYf8a5
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXj0WKg1X5
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNXgxCtWED
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa8PlxlNJ5
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCJtublKt
***
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxWshX25Gj
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW08SDBfBp
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwjtFdanEM
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sSUzTRSun
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4irLrFOOpo
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWyPfVgvY
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDfIWb5RTX
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjvnABoT8
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe3ahrrtbu
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
