In a room on the Seven Deadly Sins Academy grounds, tension was at an all time high and could be felt by those there. Shian still agitated about Alucard seeing him and Adam, stopped and replayed his words in his head.'Fellow demon? He's a demon too?! But how? Why is he telling me this?' Shian asked perplexed. All this while his expression remained the same as he stared at Alucard."What do you mean by 'fellow demon'?" Shian voiced out, pretending to play dumb for now. In return, Alucard smiled and said. "You're the Usurper of the Demon of Dread. I've been tasked to guide you and show you the ways to bring out your full power, so you can complete your goal, the reason for you creation.""..." Shian stared at Alucard. "That doesn't answer my question."Alucard unbothered by Shian's gaze, answered. "We know ourselves, when we see ourselves."Shian was beginning to get confused and slightly pissed off by Alucard's cryptic

[Ten Years Quest Received][Quest Description: Get as strong as possible... for the ??? are coming][Rewards: 1x 6th Circle Eldritch Slave][Penalty: Death]Shian stared at the panel for a few more seconds before dismissing it. He sighed in defeat, if the quest was failed, he'll die.He didn't want to know if the System that the Demon of Dread gave him was going to kill him, or if the beings he was protecting him from were the ones to do it, either way, he was going to die. He felt like a guillotine blade was hanging over his neck. Becoming strong in ten years was slightly easy, but not knowing how strong, was bothering, and that plagued his mind. Shian thought about the Demon of Dread and realized that he was lucky. If it wasn't for the Demon of Dread knowing that it was death sentence to take over his body, he would have died, but the Demon was surprisingly cunning and passed on the mantle to him instead. S

As Alucard exposed the reason behind Adam's behavior, giving Shian the necessary information needed to handle the situation, Shian took a step forward towards Adam's bed and stared him down. Adam was already terrified, and the Dread Gaze skill only made his reactions worse, which in turn affected Shian's reasoning. The emotions were intense, Shian struggled to form a cohesive thought, the only thing that came to his mind was to run as far away as possible, from whom? He couldn't figure out. Shian stood on the spot for a long time with his eyes closed, trying to take control over himself. At some point, he almost turned around and ran away, but it took all his willpower to stay rooted to the spot and not make a fool of himself. 'I brought this upon myself, so it's only right that I fix it.' Shian steeled his resolve and opened his eyes. Adam still cowering in fear began to feel better, he was still scared shitless, but wasn't scared stiff, and that was enough to bring him back. "

'I need to get stronger before this asshole comes for me again.' Shian thought with resolve. The five scions split up and each chose a corner to while away time. They had not come here together but had just coincidentally met at the entry point of the building, so they didn't have any reason to stay together since they were rivals. They totaly ignored their fans and minded their own businesses. Seth took the stage and was practicing his martial arts, Lisa sat alone with her usual cold and unapproachable look on her beautiful face, Niko was inspecting the weapons on the walls together with Nicholas, and Vanessa was walking towards their direction. Ryan and Shian moved to the stage to spar, and Alucard went to sit, doing nothing. Vanessa passed by Adam and Alucard and reached the stage Shian and Ryan stood. "Hi!" She waved. Those watching her turned their heads to see who had warranted a 'Hi' and a wave from their Hot Queen. They instantly saw red when their gaze landed on Shian,

"But first I will need you to tell me what your abilities' name's are." He added and pointed. "Starting with you..."They traced his finger, following the direction to who it was directed at. It ended up landing on Ryan."Sorry sir, but I'm not allowed to tell anyone what my Ability's name is." Ryan responded. This caused a wave of confusion to spread among the students and they began to murmur, but stopped a moment later. "And why is that, Mr Blackwill?" Instructor Issac tilted his head slightly as he asked. "Our family has strictly abided by a rule of secrecy since the start of our lineage; We are not to tell anyone what our Ability is no matter what. Failure to do so rewards terrible consequences.""... I see." Instructor Issac nodded his head."All I can tell you is that it is a mental type Ability." Ryan quickly added. Shian looked at Ryan. 'What's the point of hiding it when you already told them it's a mental type Ability?' Shian fell deep into thought. 'What is even the poi
