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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTQNXI3h9l
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHFUulhYPN
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVAuSqFIfk
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7MdTuEx0P
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOb1VkOLq
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOHFzWezu
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpQP1ZosB
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?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjNH17qZsB
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYn6OruxBX
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXpLrCqFc
'Huh?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hR9g0BRow
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWwezLYGpw
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2KlcKRAkd
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDOdebjjNk
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcRh0r9FYV
"Something's coming this way."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnYvqpAhCm
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEYQbvfDna
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pFUwySN7G
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE3Wvussk9
"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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbYEeLBFE
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOfg4WxhU
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSiZ7wjQgL
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHjceip71
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZMW7ioxc5
"What?" Sydney queried
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2EgtE4bRT
"We're in its domain,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchpbpseTLv
"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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt3zJbJ9ef
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!"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKYr0VEIoI
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoReBP24pJ
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOwuZjnhSo
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleeeT5dPBF
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMKkiN2GR
"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,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEmRYpZRtN
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrwdLRnxS2
"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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1z8PCTbzY
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYKjHKzSR
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJvhbgc2P
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjh0AF0xpj
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmPDuA4Raw
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRZIFeCx7
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jG6mCt36G
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP25ALH2Hzl
"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?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ocjvGtd5A
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa5ldGUw4t
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgD7WDLOzI
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3NqfIX7Ku
"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,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJWdaxYQIA
"Oh,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd33Ys22GuS
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt35AXpM5cw
"Okay ..."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5l4AeUQuI
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q3jSbs4Nz
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFMIRUNSCw
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DhudGcfYq
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfosEk0Pzj
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljAVY9VX6B
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMaWuEnkYJ
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuywuvzxr
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6QM069edc
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5K9eEqiHo
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbq32c0iO3
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGxy5ohwBN
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWA8yxrTNu
'Really? I didn't know that!'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5C1OiGmE8
"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,"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81w7bUAmZP
'What if I draw energy from him?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmroGv6PHIt
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Xxc8JAYz
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ055HKD7Lg9
"Give me control of your body."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWOhRZwNbz
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNcIGoMB8C
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWgdQtZwmd
'What's the catch?'
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY2fxMYVwu
"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
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQCTsuZ7VX
"Fine."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLbfUFWDUq
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iz0BHpGjq
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzvlAtR90Y
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHjax4m6vj
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBV4BfMLpC
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGwg8eKFji
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqUzGKc8Lo
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPyWFtofOE
"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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZdjsTMrO
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwi3Vd0bIO
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6SxuJYB3
***
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS9WfVQhDH
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pbvKi7ElG
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLgjGQ2Rs9
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVObvoserOT
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKcHNdKfNG
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplNntIRGXp
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tx479PbUt
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuGIfLyMeO
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JsUrKXvT
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
