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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTSKy2pOjz
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQOggFWAJ
"And that's checkmate!" Sydney smirked.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7mwUA6mle
"You're cheating!" Martin claimed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBVz86kzJv
"She won again?" Hunter asked as he approached the duo with a bowl of cookies.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGHpkyG0wT
"She's cheating, I'm sure of it," Martin said taking a cookie from the bowl.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTYBZaJwd7
"Or maybe you both suck in this game," Sydney laughed, "Can you pass me a bottle of water?" She requested
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqglIHlJVf
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?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmFepFPcF
"I just prefer drinking water from a bottle," Hunter replied, "it's an old habit" he shrugged.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pGWgPX3Z
"Hunter, Hunter, can you hear me?" He suddenly heard a voice in his head
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4bCLgIdCi
'Huh?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAAmOIAxuA
"Keep calm, I'm the demon in your head,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZwWX0pln3
'Wait, you can talk to me without a mirror?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sdAMdxBWG
"Of course, I can! I've mentioned this before! I'm inside your head for the love of all things beautiful,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Fox3doii
'I'm just messing with you, what is it?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIFHgkspCw
"Something's coming this way."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbWWEhoZ0
"Huh?" Hunter said out loud,
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xCplhueHy
"What is it, Hunter?" Sydney asked
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLrvSDgzD
"It's getting closer ... A pure demon." The demon added,
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7l35utza
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMIRASm5p
"Thanks," She said to him as she got down from his arms. "Where's Martin?" He said looking around,
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn451iVLwKg
"I'm fine," Martin said, emerging from the rubble.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6nhpuNbQ
Their surrounding is suddenly covered with dark mist, making it impossible for them to see from their knee down.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaiMAovzxv
"Oh boy," Martin said, his eyes wide open as he sees the mist.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aoi5VD75R
"What?" Sydney queried
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEOYhuNlXU
"We're in its domain,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87djOh8Hn4
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtLBleqi0
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!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmN5oFop7a
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05CMSxnmsq
"We can't stay here, we'll die," another exclaimed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9THe7LEDm3
"I don't want to die," a third cried, "I'm too young to die"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI77ikaJK13
Hunter turned to Sydney, "can you shift?" He asked
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglT5FnjzkN
"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,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4v0WGrHW
"Do you feel that?" The demon inside Hunter asked,
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFBmJQpZnJ
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrxXpKfJP
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6EDHcPGIm
Martin jumps and launches himself at the demon but it effortlessly pushes him aside.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLS00hs7AQ
"Martin!" Sydney called, running to the now fallen Martin.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMn3iJdm5A
The demon raised its black arm in the air and small glass shards appears from the mist pointing at every student.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1jGzT5qNT
"Psst," Hunter's demon called, its face appearing in the glass and pointing towards him. "You're back in a mirror?" Hunter mused
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJtJbBvfxB
"Not a good time for a joke," his demon shakes his head disappointedly
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsCNQGvrr5
"I'm about to die, what better time to make a joke than now?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNTzwWBHYc
"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?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ746JX4ziVs
"Huh," Hunter said thoughtfully, "magic?" He guessed
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBhAtZPqvy
"Exactly! So why is magic stopping you from using magic?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFAPwtftM1
"The demon is much stronger than I am?" He shrugged
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWrVC7kkC
"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,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1h6q3ScrB
"Oh,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2IAWcYk1p
"Now, I need you to forget everything you know about your regular magic,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcik67CgUgE
"Okay ..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhGzuNnA38
"Focus on the mist and use its energy to fuel your attack."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6UyHUVGLE
"Alright," Hunter says as he let out a deep breath and focuses on the mist.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGDpUKgz8
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ldc1vUiZR
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxxvcsyPg
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNbprYVYHt
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ8GYHl1C4
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYN5MfBrl
'He's so much faster than I am," Hunter thought.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbXpbUWM1D
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsWKUDstsn
The pure demon races towards him with clenched fists while Hunter thought of a solution.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoPBz2NDcQ
'Do you have any more tricks I could try?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiQjoUnMdy
"Well, this pure demon is much stronger than you are,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32gMboLqAx
'Really? I didn't know that!'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf2Z3BPoKU
"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,"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGskHCbitCk
'What if I draw energy from him?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsjzT2Ugwh
"Too dangerous," his demon replied, "if anything goes wrong you'd end up becoming his puppet."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpECEg1SW2q
'So we don't try that, anything else?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26BJx671Sl
"Give me control of your body."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPF6vZC5ID
'No, I prefer being in control of my life,'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbumuIpekw
"That precious life of yours is in danger, give me temporary control and I'll deal with the demon."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceJNUPsL08
'What's the catch?'
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarq8BmCnP
"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
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVlRaovGqp
"Fine."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2JmTGT6VM
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3CvcKSzHM
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQ0DZAmH9
"Those markings ..." the pure demon said shocked,
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqcWbwwCCU
Demon Hunter formed a button-up shirt out of nothing and started to put it on.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eCs7zbiH
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvj0wZjWmd
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G0G2TWNGZ
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xADHOL99z
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYq8MxzOxV
"Hunter?" a voice called from behind, Demon Hunter's pupil move to the side to see Lauren with Zoe by her side.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPoLDwN2x
"Looks like the fun's over," he muttered to himself before giving back control to Hunter.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcMEPIsnKP
***
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZcDzFZfx2
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUSx6k1SMX
"Miss Lauren," Hunter says, his voice low, "what happened to the demon?" He groggily asked
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2iw7E7Kaq
"You defeated it," she replied calmly
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJMhvPYipo
"I did? Cool cool cool cool."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPj1G0bbEU
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsj5J0QpQl
"Why am I behind bars though?" He asked
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJQPlxTWx
"Because you're under arrest," Mr. Daniel stated
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4LeF4mnIU
Hunter's mouth dropped to the floor, his eyes opening wide, "For what? Why?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4jEObc6UD
"You are a user of the forbidden art, chaos magic."
