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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GOeuiBOJR
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiqClzVsgy
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4md65H1miq
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v5x9BeAzE
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrk2gyGO7n
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ473BzFgXvg
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXpFLHJdX8
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?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrSy67qWua
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BP312Bh7X
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kAlDYB44d
'Huh?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbhl1nPP7j
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5YMb8RHJN
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YCkwiOwS9
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHGSEQC16k
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHeJYpHpiv
"Something's coming this way."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpjGWRdgTe
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV99aLyz1M
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQhdIrKDGm
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Z7PjpbqM
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmc09ILCjP
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFYkVN9P5Y
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UPPuNAxcv
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UAUqnqDRx
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWWufXPXOx
"What?" Sydney queried
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WdobMOWN9
"We're in its domain,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qvCHFRb0
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIKjCQfS4U
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!"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3Bj06oqZ
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb05rNH5ZE
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydy27QojOQ
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh07N7LufS
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7GQdr5LoC
"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,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxA30kmsYw
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ASGtmyRJ
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXLsdBVPwv
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaf0k3FwYE
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScuogaKPUW
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStzZQVmCab
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlHg23RXQQ
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvh8f1vCn5
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTqJ2haS4
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz7PgUxd9C
"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?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3NSIGug8m
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDmN3HdcWS
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURhi8kG6TE
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtm0QULOCO
"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,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f0LYT1FQZ
"Oh,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtq9kXz36T
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0b3rsvvgE
"Okay ..."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFnN2CYK2m
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8EKjDd9oc
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHw3FNRkR8
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxiOgRf5ID
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaQs6XjxtX
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOapusxEDeS
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGTyh1LuX
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gDcEgLIw
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZcWDt79ac
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlor279NMTO
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY43tzKYIC
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSX09j7Oh
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7p7O3aoQ3
'Really? I didn't know that!'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWp5b6KOio
"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,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRMbMOELO
'What if I draw energy from him?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r9sTddQqX
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3AN4BRFhV
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKhV5UiW9Q
"Give me control of your body."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiHpskvSpt
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxGxKTkNIl
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QyCQ0zIVj
'What's the catch?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLYYMD2B36
"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
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQdrWntf8
"Fine."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1PzYCGncF
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J8LprkcCH
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ShkgSwUGE
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLPX99fqsV
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGlFTrfOI
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8asGF5qhP
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcaDa3LYd4
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZxte3IEIQ
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87s2Y9BZD
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYISCgYHxal
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ucGGRlaHi
***
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYIztXfZs2
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckYnG2UIhD
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP6bRqA1wo
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqpuKHIXOg
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqQ531K7IO
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuATp5AapsJ
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsokAXouQJY
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrdOqd0doy
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK8TJ4AxX7
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
