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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OOmPVkayl
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKf0JYEQK
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQYa90ECX
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkMLbrNGEU
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcFSzkOqi
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq5udU5M6q
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Fn1mlttc
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?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy4zmAOIjQ
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGkahZanBp
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXzAvdjadu
'Huh?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5PQ2DAj7
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecLkIyo5YJ
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThazAnOjzW
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxwpVtqFvT
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAzDG8lBFf
"Something's coming this way."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiddYN0p8N
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pxe3QGahI
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWJ1YPyMB
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmJSdRTLl
"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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhejObuKxV2
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZaUkJR7sy
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0cCJgLEBx
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7uuvFWf4f
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgdUDFknWE
"What?" Sydney queried
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ifmw8XMt
"We're in its domain,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJqjIHv4ZN
"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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc13VZMOwzc
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!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeXbkSA3BM
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv8bWGCxOL
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3eojKDqg
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGynqC7lxw
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxRoO7OG3W
"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,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOKmlqn1v5
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hflIo8DYx
"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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiFTH7I98V
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ld1OSm9Zn
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFmjDKeTM
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuTHroNU3E
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigt712RJTk
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8357qcniR
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrIeCIf930
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo8JwuPAWD
"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?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkul5vrz87
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bKbRICqJT
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ZOzPPZU7
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4BLnigOxR
"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,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HaEccO0RV
"Oh,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFcJQjgTrJ
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGeOdwjNON
"Okay ..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUeTACIFvt
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQbFCVhiCl
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWSbkPhneL
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIYCwJPYHC
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJTox3qcj5
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fVqsp1zp
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZCMwitK9P
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOfT1Usnw
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDn206Yylg
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0q6PXMUS
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98iDeRKZty
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20O6N2mUQ
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKj0453WrX
'Really? I didn't know that!'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrBPYC95L
"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,"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtrj7OkUKs
'What if I draw energy from him?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELr44evdju
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtTfuClAn
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NgNZEbA7Z
"Give me control of your body."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UoQJlU8Yq
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfopPn2MvY3
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL6Tx96oLK
'What's the catch?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY8AVFsFvo
"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
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3VAmpmFl9
"Fine."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH1h8kKa5c
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6DtW8EoR
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT3usPQ3TE
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ER67cWc95
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7WHrHwYr
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAzmjKTBB
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oXblyeLmE
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZAOFrbdoy
"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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF1qehiYoU
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV9SpsV1Wp
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFd4gkDey3
***
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogg2v4W3tR
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq4E5LqXME
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmm43vQoic
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD2O8yT01V
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsJM8mmnW5
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7KQEHsPRm
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1NuwwAEMC
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpYETfF3uR
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQKxfLUSE
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wHqQlo8qd
