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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJxYLEiITZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90d2pFY5vc
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7fTL5kPJV
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeIotgeu5q
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KaG2qCE2T
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9v8Pq4aJe
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCzVGuvHEF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdrL5nnvYg
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtc9Mtu50z
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfas6W9hb
'Huh?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgglDT9t8Lt
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShmO4VzMCq
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxdY1znxBH
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyV60ycOtz
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8IgdRVJNd
"Something's coming this way."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaDBlMlpgn
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3SlXbi96p
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXqlGqy774
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN9LB46ILD
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEm91lfnMs
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8mcg7Rekq
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjptFa90eeu
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nFrjtfY5y
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX4JgwRsAJ
"What?" Sydney queried
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyJhYCYZcc
"We're in its domain,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIacBwIhCZ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbhJjhrVh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oaJ43dbOY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vc2zMtAy1
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJaLJqY6yY
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk1jczJ6ga
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IJQfD9MVL
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5hUIhZQpp
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGICXgXq5ue
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWRFYcFkD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCmz8mtX5B
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzCDdiNnZ
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi6ulSNe9H
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNO6jWiaNf
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnwf49yE1z
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQLDP0tQBA
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkRIcCmlBS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqSpj8dGwR
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiwxUfH6M8
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwT7prEmQn
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ywLmSGE4
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOt1v1L8ZG
"Oh,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw7Uco5Agr
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaixONFrQo
"Okay ..."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pWkyqMOxE
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqtT5hISI
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvVnamEEMm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMUQdY8UB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoooDpeZo74
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkboFAM44q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W5UqbcHMi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXITMqZbnGh
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFonoM68BlX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF9TUXWT2A
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnobaTIxVF
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqINtiGBRy
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5coWi57pBM
'Really? I didn't know that!'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuk0igPVM2
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHIoIn9uIt
'What if I draw energy from him?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77WdqEkGZ
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9iBXu8IO2
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0YdzRtt6H
"Give me control of your body."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2SglOA5F3
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoaWrTNj3Q
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zKelUhWoU
'What's the catch?'
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJsr6Zwm1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh6FVpoBkt
"Fine."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rXkXQv3U7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEwowBGO9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh259QFAgia
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1w1Cjydl
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ2z1fODND
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoMmM71bcI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVwdx1B4kR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxsTGlpHk3
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oqw9jIEZa
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBmwadZXgW
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wDvNKZjT
***
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAnOwnZBGO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmxj1PTsN6
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGV6tC7Sb8
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcSiJp6cGE
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH2ghjz7RP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfoyLRgcE
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALqr8zepM
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt2UF0W17P
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl54uBy1PY
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
