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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PGYehu1L6
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLjWEmrOWv
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRp6NWg90g
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJoGQIAth0
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTfE55F8ie
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeTInD2sBt
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFPyerdSR
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?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQbwPf8Abv
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxSBicZRgo
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARFqoewSHe
'Huh?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCgjsChYl9
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBmo7tP8d
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkNxxbKmHi
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S59gUQhyK
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehvhwjiRUa
"Something's coming this way."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYpz9I5nH
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmCT3TDnmH
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0v9Srjx45
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYgfWVdMSp
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HV45dpbbA
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhVFOLHj8d
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ycg7Wkjv
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5wfNXbGF1
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2VoAnv7R4
"What?" Sydney queried
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBV2e3QbWp
"We're in its domain,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zTYOsMfD
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPK4MoRn5r
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!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2z6jRMCTi
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQdPcO1ESn
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF4C16GQUp
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjWgPMSnk6
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbdAIjO4h
"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,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdssK0fSv
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyZYvr9Ap
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8h6lIuwNL
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxjUeMtXWj
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp5LoENdsk
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8UFa67QXC
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAOm7HKfeG
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuq4G6mDt6
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbL9LUaSoY
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQRiJgPFb9
"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?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV5CjiKrHl
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1UHOrWJVl
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOjIS6qQBn
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQm6P0wQA
"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,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9YMJDMWr
"Oh,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBLkp9zV2
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JdZxkBNyV
"Okay ..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17gGzLMYQE
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSAUOPAzs0
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkFh0Jeb20
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf8UjTdpS8
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK94oJjxR6B
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIls4pESktP
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyfCUE6QCG
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9abVhfHibd
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOEp7kpDth
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZOwbE2KWm
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCnGhTXhgf
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJbD3pnKgv
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfShcXeduK1
'Really? I didn't know that!'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF2GIJWYhA
"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,"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikeM9hOpQ
'What if I draw energy from him?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPhuLipBJh
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd20bbZVl70
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2AX3VT42
"Give me control of your body."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcXvMggpLO
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzHRDI3gq
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGAfdMG84Z
'What's the catch?'
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOnlznXjk0
"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
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2wzKyr3co
"Fine."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ol4Zw2ts
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kIDx9sAt
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWtlrEk4hL
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbxlPh5zYt
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuLQzE1SBO
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcJjEC6I2h
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z13WGYyKi
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CKXFYSmTf
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhr8Z5Gfb2
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPs5ACm5WI
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDubSjEhVb
***
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5YLbJLJr
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotuEAJSRjD
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth4qIN8D4V
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb0nTMC1VW
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9KGP7djn1
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3KR0fcO9L
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaM9kOXRgY
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ip9guMu3E
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5op34D8M6
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
