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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss19XVKpSC
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5VowHP140
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQEiCqNTeV
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PqUGd9axa
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeB8HHfDNf
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTp4uqll3c
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafRTWriLp
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?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79anN1cYhu
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ5I8OBWWo
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKdAf1QqIs
'Huh?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCXXEovXiH
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzArfCWqyul
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7xcI0M0YD
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1xIci5LNB
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTMXWQxy2S
"Something's coming this way."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIzQVYXPiM
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurXwrFqUNu
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNIuQT1DI
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLykNWYvgC
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEkDpAWTa
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jSM0b2CZt
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj1IwPapiH
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZGC403ATA
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD4kjSJA7u
"What?" Sydney queried
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFrxEB0g8H
"We're in its domain,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6GZvxEkBB
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhyuP5uw5l
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!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXFrByq5dr
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAC8cSP3Ar
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqo1Wb9F8
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLs0eyBxrW
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWKomYNUP
"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,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypPXYw4Saj
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeiMTaJzZ
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP5pusiEz1
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0pxUsULEr
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF1xrolrHk
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJsM9vlnhH
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAFe6C0L8F
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0TRPhAxuf
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkN44EIvOG
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrbF4ybd2O
"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?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNdyVVHx8
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW8BRwDptQ
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmkFa4V0cD
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9usK4wRZz1
"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,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4sYl2nZgR
"Oh,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniqomOU3Cx
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12rgA9V31A
"Okay ..."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cq29PwcaM
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQXjGFNzWz
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EQmKbCoHb
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobo9m3kPvQ
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hTCvHTfJt
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshQ3GSKkT2
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVYa4MdNtj
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rj1rScoys
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q0c6aZfBf
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82JxCroeB9
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lEAPzH5rW
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2FcjmQDU6
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxclDQAJLh
'Really? I didn't know that!'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSarqa1oDY
"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,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGObS8drz
'What if I draw energy from him?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW6xDQ3pyV
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71h1vLPh8x
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiXrvArP3w
"Give me control of your body."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9DrvCzgS8
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsHK9rlFv
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaL5hhzEyf
'What's the catch?'
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EAWEMGW6n
"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
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK9G0P1VFV
"Fine."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XqvNsvPAh
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgpqG2Mj5n
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2wRDlOgba
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv0Y1IlvFH
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pzv9JqbyT
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAmYYg7lUa
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9b0iVnlWH
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLcnXxA97U
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IlK4DfPJe
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhtGxblWdk
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OhDn56D0P
***
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB7t62DuB2
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAXYVKUPLl
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDyiSv49i
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1UL2UITop
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo9L5spemv
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKoWlTxPbU
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNORH7KsDM
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9VeruRIIt
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2fGXclwMc
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
