The city was always beautiful at night, when the sun sets, it was like it had come to life but that wasn't the only thing that came with the darkness: they were beings lurking in the darkness, waiting, cause once it was night, they could freely roam about.

Not everyone could see them but he could so he felt it was his responsibility to exorcise them, for a price of course.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3xut1p2O
Hunter looked from his phone to the apartment building in front of him, a well-maintained building, no one would believe a demon lived there but then again, that only makes it the perfect hideout. 'This is the location' he thought to himself.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUXIuYtwyD
He pushed the door and it slides open with a loud creak. He walks into the building, welcomed by the chirping sounds of crickets, and the tweeting of birds.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVggobJzQgQ
His eyes scan the surrounding, weed were growing almost everywhere. All the apartments' lights were off except for one whose light was flickering. He had doubts before but now he was sure, this is the place.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiQ7pv4UY
"Are you the exorcist?" A croaky voice asked from behind catching him by surprise.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolfp4Iojr
He turned to see an elderly woman leaning on a stick staring at him expectantly, "yes," he replied,
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6R4FbMBCk
"But you're so young," she stated.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSleRugzq
"Ma'am, I'm 18."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinE6swvgqk
"That is young," she countered, "I had a son that was 18, the universe took him at 16, the world is a cruel, cruel place."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfnhYDKcS
"Huh?" He said confused, "that doesn't even make sense."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2B7MFzdEm
The woman frowned, "This world doesn't make sense," she replied.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUevhnmUfm
"Right," he drawled before looking around the building, "which apartment did you suspect had the ghost?" He asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIBukVHfa
"That one," she pointed to the room with the flickering lights, her voice falling even lower than normal. He nodded before turning the direction, headed for the apartment,
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRcYZEY9m
"Be careful son, there is a ghost in that apartment, say your prayers and hope it doesn't come for you," she shouted after him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajPk3cJB3
"I mean, I'm here to have a conversation with it so I hope it does come for me but thanks for the advice."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UyV5absUB
The closer he got to the apartment, the more he could feel it, he had in him years of exorcising ghosts and there was nothing that could scare him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc25z4lLVQY
Even before seeing it, Hunter could tell just how much energy it had and he knew, he just need to land three yellow energy punches to cast it away.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAEHcSpdlu
The light goes off as he pushes the door wide open then comes back on again as he walks into the apartment. He could feel its presence in the bathroom so that was his destination.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgY51Lm5ft
The light flicker and he catches something gliding in the dark with the corner of his eyes, it was fast.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhanRNETJv
The room goes dark again and he finds himself wondering why he picked the nighttime to do this. Hunter felt a hand on his shoulder and before he could react, the ghost flings him to the other side of the room, sending him crashing into the bathtub.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYcnarZrmD
He felt it race towards him and the light goes on, giving him a good look at his attacker for the first time: a short, huge, neckless, green creature with long limbs and ears. That certainly was no ghost, it was a demon.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRO3Mt5vv
The light flickers and stays off but the room is suddenly brightened up by a glowing yellow energy around Hunter's fist. The demon throws itself at him but he moves out of the just in time and hits it with a thunderous punch.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7jANTEqbI
As the demon flies back from the impact, he chases after it and throws another punch, the demon manages to get its head out of the way but the strike catches it on the shoulder, completely detaching it from the body and sending the entire hand flying away elsewhere.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJED6lvhxS
The demon rose again, it threw a sloppy punch at Hunter who easily dodges it, the demon was much slower than before. The light turns on and Hunter hits it with an uppercut, sending it flying to the ground. The demon evaporates into thin air.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3oQrnjX9U
"Is it done?" The woman asked as he walks out of the room.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI3evISbr7
"Yes," he replied with a small smile, "sorry for the mess."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wmCn9IDYX
"It's fine, nobody would take this place with a ghost next door but thanks to you, I'm sure this place would finally be lively once again," She stated, "I already sent the money to the account number in the poster, hopefully, I wouldn't be needing your services again."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlbdQuyxdf
"Never say never," he waved as he walked out of the building. He took out his phone to call a camp but a black SUV pulls up in front of and a man in a black suit steps out of the car. "Are you the exorcist?" He asked,
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngVmhvRBfA
"Yes?" Hunter replied, more of a question than a response.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfWQ5T97j
"You're under arrest," the man said as grabbed him, turn him around and cuff his wrist.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBMpHUmKQP
"Wait what?!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSLwrpwawm
...
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuX9UbRZJf
Hunter looked around the room, this was his first time in an interrogation room. The federal agents - at least so he thought, had brought him about an hour ago with charges of fraud but no one had said anything to him since.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4JpSbRV00
Just then, a tall, caramel-skinned man with a lean build and short snow-white hair walk into the room, he looked like he was in his later twenties, sporting a sunglass and a dark blue zip-up jacket with a fairly wide high collar and a matching slim fit pants and dress boots.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR32GJgqevC
He sat on the other side of the table, across from Hunter before taking off the sunglasses revealing his vibrant blue eyes, "Hunter Heffernan, is that correct?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi141Welie
"Yes," Hunter replied, "look man, we didn't know exorcism was a crime we wouldn't have done it."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxg7tkjqaz
"We? There's another one?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKIUWNf8I
"Jacob, he's my manager, handles the business aspect of the job," He replied
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVfGQ7D6BB
"Wow, you have a whole thing going for you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsLYXuvz6J
Hunter tilts his head sideways, "I mean, it pays," he shrugged.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqclDFqkabw
"Well Heffernan, I'm sure you'd be glad to know you're not under arrest."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21bspydUcY
"I'm not?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkogZyJ8Q4
"No," he shakes his head as he slides a dark green colored card across the table towards Hunter.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvT9wIsz1
Hunter looks at the card and then at the man in front of him, "is this a ticket thing, this feels like a ticket thing."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUWKDgu7GY
"This is more of an invitation to join a secret organization thing," he stated.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6uAfztGo
Hunter picks up the card, "Oh."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9dgR1WXMm
"You're what, 18? I know kids your age dream of saving the world and I'm allowing you the opportunity to do so."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRr1r2T3uH
"Sorry," Hunter said, "I'm not interested."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMiM4V5lcd
"What? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you get to meet others like you, learn more about your powers, and reach new levels of your skills."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIrZMvOx64
"Oh, I see what's going on here."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlBDVGJkLY
"You do?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP4vjnLsf1
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're trying to entice me with everything my current life is missing."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaUMfzYY2n
"Is it working?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjD5uvwGLA
"Yes, I'm in."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJmHo8ZFik
"Good," the snow-white-haired man said as he rise from his sit and walks over to Hunter taking his hands in his, "I'm glad you agreed to join us," he stated.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQwnd73n3
"What was it you said you do again?" The man asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3BxV22nuZ
"Exorcism?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3PcrIxQr
"Right," he nods, "that is only a fraction of what we do," as the words leave his tongue, a spark appears and a portal opens in front of them.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5yL0j5PmI
"Woah ..." Was all Hunter could say, the man walked into the portal and Hunter follows after him, appearing in front of a large building with a classical Greece architectural design.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGr1ZheR7
"Wow ..." Hunter said, still gobsmacked, "Who are you?" He finally asked
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAYtHRMVi5
"Zyair," the man replied before turning to face him, "Welcome to the Metropolitan School of Mysticism."
