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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs4fiYeLEp
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetEK0JDprY
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5FGSHx7t9
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMibnsmXp
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqr1BkSZR
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWLUM6Yxa
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhl22R1aOA
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?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5poU9wk5G5
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PlKIgZwxL
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXlgiDqJjI
'Huh?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjGg4U4rf
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYBHMm8rsE
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JooRALytn
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSI8DdKW9
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH98GQS6lU
"Something's coming this way."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqogY6bVmnI
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwKbaKxAbo
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWNQJV8vxj
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgExU95yVp
"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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsA9PJWeiq
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvrd1Cj0VH
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjN8tXUQ9
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1wAXwrf6d
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHG625Og01
"What?" Sydney queried
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MEsXkYub
"We're in its domain,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf7bgzFfiP
"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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJt9xIfbn8
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!"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvfAOx4vTs
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeuSvtXF2p
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWSzbwna5L
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyidrjDYrw
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdQLHeycW
"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,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszdOLrbrAX
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAPOMxud7r
"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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rMM4BLFWS
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIFXgRYpLx
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJfSgxieX
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS5pIBUdeD
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqOVPDJk4N
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3jy9z35F
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hQaTTJWQN
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJpmTcsnmz
"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?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFXLZmd69c
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOk6zHp3ZS
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaY4Iv5XGY
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0onNcmuPOE
"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,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapNTykT1v3
"Oh,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDslqgUPe
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XfPitBUtf
"Okay ..."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHnNitQKT
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNv8SEO1t
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyLRP3s2t7
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYkBAIelKl
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HBcrgZazs
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbim4wmUX
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBPH5SGZH
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPawcXItVg
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZHPBODMJj
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoR4G0wHBn
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Ethocmm7
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdaTQ8u0LX
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVqUuhxpPy
'Really? I didn't know that!'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fsBP0uh1c
"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,"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cHj1e0WFN
'What if I draw energy from him?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rwpzbs04
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡousnz1k8dH
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1B0ukqPTd
"Give me control of your body."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLycoDEHh4
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsogq7T6na2
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6gzZpPqn
'What's the catch?'
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHznSkQxNK
"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
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mAXZVmia
"Fine."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSqh07UPB
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3HMakAB2u
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3Ywu1f86
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6p5BfEmAk
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb0iNjXC37
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26jZPP00ZS
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBpDY4sF3F
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaboa74bL3w
"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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxmQ3b9hFn
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4PBWrlbF1
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4HNPqIBw
***
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrRlNl2Mwf
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzanuNbK91k
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lFGOeq4IG
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChEWLKpfLr
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r4zMHv3zB
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8WENpfbTV
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXGNI8RIJI
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndSp4T5eug
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOuIZ2cT1d
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaVqH9dF8N
