EXPELLED
Everyone gathered at the open space as if a bell had signaled them, forming small circles while Flint stood alone in their midst. He had listened to much of what they had to say and had come to his conclusion.The Vice Principal and Master Kaelen started approaching the podium.Master Kaelen stepped up first while the Vice Principal stood by his side. Flint still doubted the man was actually the Vice Principal — not with how casually dressed he was. No air of royalty or nobility exuded from him.Master Kaelen cleared his throat. "As we all know, the competition begins tomorrow."The whole place fell silent."And that is because of our recent encounter." His gaze fell on Flint, then returned to the students. "But thankfully, it has been resolved, and the competition will return to its original date — a week from now."Some students had already started grumbling while others were celebrating."So…" They fell silent again. "For now, we will address the threat itself."His gaze narrowed t
EXPULSION 2
The vice principal was shocked when he stepped outside and saw them conversing. Even the guards, who had been shocked moments ago, now listened and understood how it was possible."What's going on here?" he asked, approaching them with Master Kaelen by his side. "Aren't you supposed to be professional? What are you showing the students?""I'm sorry, sir." She gave a small bow. "But I know him. He isn't lying."The vice principal raised a brow. "What are you talking about? The Vordask said he was, and that's what we are going with."*He was one of them,* Flint thought."What's taking them so long?" Bale whispered to his friend. "They should get on with it. I've been waiting for this."Joelene, with her hands locked in Dylan's, rolled her eyes. He was always too loud and unreasonable. Yet she kept her calm."The guy I told you about," Lady Emerald continued, "the one who took the bounty to help me through the dungeon before coming here — he was the one."It was too late for Master Kaele
SERAVAN LAND
Flint waited until Dylan had left before he expressed his happiness."That bastard," he cursed under his breath. "Who would have thought he let the demon in!?" A short laugh escaped his lips and suddenly he was feeling relaxed.He cleaned up his room from the spilled potion and freshened up before diving into his bed for a rest."System, tell me all you know about the competition. I showed you a lot when we were in his office," he said inwardly.The system blinked.[LOCATION: SERAVAN LAND][DEMONS: DEMAK][DAY: UNPLANNED]"Nothing else?"There was no response."How many days until the world's destruction?"The system blinked.[DAYS LEFT: 1700]Flint hissed and went back to sleep.After three whole hours of sleep, Flint finally stepped out feeling energized. He headed for class and was surprised to see the Vice Principal inside.He stepped in and took a seat, avoiding his gaze."So, the second is how to tell a Human-Demon. There are three things to look out for."Flint paid close atten
ONE WEEK
Master Kaelen spent a whole hour scolding Flint and no matter how Flint tried to tell him he wasn't the one who started it, the man didn't listen.All he knew was that Flint was trying to kill the boy.After everything, he got to the main reason he was there in the first place.Flint told him all about the demons, especially the second one and the type of power it wielded. Master Kaelen seemed satisfied. He also wanted to apologize for the misunderstanding but changed his mind.Immediately he left, Dylan and Jolene entered."What was Master Kaelen doing here?"Flint looked over his shoulder. "Oh. Just came to ask about the demons and stuff. Are you guys ready?" His gaze flickered to Jolene.She said nothing."And what's that guy doing here?"Flint scoffed. "One of Bale's lackeys. Came to fight for him and stuff.""Well that didn't end well." Dylan said as he watched the boy struggle to catch his breath and get on his feet at the same time."Let's begin, shall we?" Jolene said."Oh yes
VENDRIEL CITY
The class was silent as the Vice Principal looked through the papers in his hand."You are competing with other classes. You know that, right?" He asked without looking up, and they responded before some started murmuring."Anyone willing to give up now?"Flint was surprised when he saw over five hands go up."Okay, leave us," Master Kaelen said, and they stood up and left."The competition will be a tough one. You can still save your face by leaving." He looked at the rest of the class, but no one moved."Good." He dropped the papers. "Last time the Vice Principal taught you how to tell a demon from a human, but that can be very tricky."He moved around."So I'll be teaching you how to channel your energy so that not much harm would be done when you realize it is a human."Murmuring broke out as he expected."There's something like channeling?""Our powers don't even kill in one shot.""Maybe they'll give us more."Master Kaelen waited until the noise subsided."The competition won't
TRAINING GROUNDS
Flint left the boy the same way he had left Marcus, even worse because he had used his earth's fist on him. He wiped the blood off his hands and went back to his room.He had only settled to think when a knock came at it.He opened the door and was surprised to see Lady Emerald. Jolene's words crawled back to his mind and he bit his lower lip."Hello," she said with a soft smile. He returned it immediately, trying to hide the blood on his shirt."Can I?""Sure." He moved out of the doorway and let her in."So... how are you feeling? The potion—""Oh yes. It did help." Flint cut her off.She stepped closer, concern etched on her brows. "But your face is still battered and—"Flint took a step back and she froze from touching his face."It would get better," he said, turning away from her.Lady Emerald felt the heat in her chest. "Okay."Flint could tell that she was pained through her voice. He turned to her. "I should have at least thanked you for the potion. I'm really sorry I didn't.
SKILL ACQUIRED
Flint stared at the smirk on their faces and scoffed."What's wrong, boy?" One of them said, stepping closer. "You can't drain our mana the way you did with Marcus." He kept coming.Flint schooled the shock on his face. "Even without it, I can still make you eat dust."The boy took a deep breath to calm the rage in his chest. "We'll see about that.""Shadow Bind."All three said it in unison.Shadow ropes began emanating from their hands, directing themselves toward Flint. He didn't fight it. They wrapped around him and slammed him against the wall. Once. Twice. Three times. He saw the back of his own head from the force of it. His face was already bleeding, the pain sinking deep into his bones.Then he remembered the warning of the man who had been standing silently at the door, watching them."Stop."Master Kaelen's voice cut through everything.They dropped him to the floor instantly and turned toward the voice.Master Kaelen's brow dipped so low it nearly touched his nose. The ang
LACKING MANA
Flint was leaving for class the next morning when he bumped into someone. He was about to apologize when he saw the look on the girl's face. It was obvious she had done it on purpose. He took a step back."What is it, lady?" he asked, and she stepped forward."Why didn't you leave?" He raised a brow."What are you talking about?" he asked."You wanted to go to Vendriel," she said, and he was shocked. "Why didn't you go? Do you really believe Master Kaelen?"Flint was even more shocked. What exactly was she talking about? She grabbed his hands and led him through to a corner, void of people, before Flint yanked his hands off."What is this? What are you talking about?" he asked, and she swallowed."I'm from Vendriel. I heard when you told your friend that's where you're from. So I wanted to meet you, but you were busy the whole time. And when you weren't, I was. So at night, I chose to just go with you as a partner. We could take them down. But then I saw you with Master Kaelen, and h
VENDRIEL CITY
Lady Emerald didn't respond directly till Flint told her everything he suspected. "You're being paranoid," She said. “This academy could never go to war with any city unless they are ready to sign a death warrant.” He stood still looking at her. Something seemed off. “How many of you are in this?” she asked. “Just three of us. Terra is from Vendriel too and Dylan is my friend.” . “Well, good luck then.” She left. That night, he was surprised to see Jolene with them. He threw Dylan a look.Dylan shook his head slightly. "Leave it."Flint did. Jolene had been dead set on waiting till the competition. He wasn't going to waste breath on her.They got to the gate. The security man crossed his arms."After what happened the last time, nah. You have to get permission from Master Kaelen before leaving.” Flint tried everything. Even lied that he had just spoken to his mother who was there but the man didn't buy it. Master Kaelen had warned him specifically about the boy, now he saw the
FALL BACK
"You are going according to class now. Not by group. That's final."Instructor Dean adjusted the microphone and waited.The grumbling started immediately.The boys in Class 5A were the loudest. Whatever plans they had cooked up the night before were already dead. He let them go for a moment. Then tapped the microphone once."Group yourselves. Now."They did it slowly. Like it hurt. But they did it. Five lines formed in front of him.He walked to Class 1A first."Your competition is against Class 3A."The grumbling doubled."I know." He said. "But your class grouping was never based on strength. It was based on mana level. Those are not the same thing. Prove the difference."Someone muttered something from the back.He ignored it and kept moving."Class 1A and 3A. Sky Court City. Open land. Use your powers freely." He paused. "You do not kill anyone. I don't care what happens out there. No killing."He moved down the line."Class 2A and 5A. Seven Lands. The demons there are demarked de
