Dustins PoV

"Now it's not everyday you get to have a battle like that again" rolling my eyes at Devon's comment as we approach headmaster Fernandez' office, I knock lightly "Ah, Son of Satan, great to see your well." He chimes as I pull Devon into the room "and you've brought another demon!" He laughs, looking To Devon as he leans over with an arched eyebrow "who's the weirdo?" He whispers, shaking my head I stand upright "Kyle this is Devon Burke, my cousin. Devon this is Kyle Fernandez, the headmaster of the academy" I say gesturing to the two of them separately "Your cousin? And he's not loyal to your father?" Kyle asks, looking to Devon I tilt my chin upwards slightly "no sir, My family and I have never been loyal to My uncle" Devon says sternly, nodding I fold my arms over my chest "And he's attending like the other four demons?" Kyle asks as he turns to me, nodding I watch Devon furrow his brows as we exit the office.

Entering the hall where everyone is stood, Mr Akino looks my way "Dustin where have you been?" He asks, looking to Devon who's looking around curiously "Headmasters office" I mumble as we shuffle to the back of the class, The four demons and Kaya and her friends glancing to me "Very well. Partner yourself up and this time don't attempt to kill someone." He says earning a snicker from the majority of the class "Yeah, Yeah" I mumble waving my hand as I drag Devon to my side of the room.

"Wait so we just battle?" Devon asks as he takes out a sword I had never seen before "Pretty much, were not allowed to go all out though" I mumble, watching him nod as a black and purple sea appears around me, my eyes glow, watching him raise his sword, a thin transparent liquid wrapping around the blade "You know, there's no point in fighting with you considering yesterday's results. And even then I was in possession of Talon" he laughs, shrugging I swing Nyx around my hand casually "Maybe, but you know using our powers will make us stronger." I smirk, diving out of the way as a stream of water is thrown my way "Oh come on, I was talking" I chuckle as I kick his feet he falls to the ground harshly, my sword flying out of my hand when he kicks it out, laughing I roll backwards on to my feet, glancing around at the majority of the class watching I look to Devon "I yield." I say sternly, watching Devon nod "good training." Mr Akino says as he turns to a different pair I pick my sword up "they don't know anything about me. I have to use a sword" I murmur.

Tightening my swords to my hip I look over to Devon "You have to get rid of that sword Dust" he points to Nyx casually, cocking an eyebrow I shrug "You mean Nyx? Why?" I ask, walking down the steps towards the dorm campus "It can't even withstand ten percent of your power. Talon can hold at least fifty" He says gesturing to my sacred weapon which is rested on the left side of my hip "Suppose your right, What would I use to brawl with?" I ask as we enter the dorm house which is bursting with the voices of my dorm mates and Kaya and the girls "Your hands? I don't see why you are hiding such an awesome ability" he laughs, shaking my head as we walk up towards my dorm room, passing the lively room of Magnus where the demons and the rest of the gang are "Don't you think it'll look even more supernatural considering I have my tail, fangs and glowing eyes constantly on show." I mumble, throwing my bag into the corner of my room, knocking the heaps of books on Ukuroko behaviour out of the way with my feet "I'm just saying, using a mundane weapon like that will eventually burst, and when it does it'll cause a hell of a lot of damage." He replies as he sits on the top bed of the bunk, looking at Nyx I unsheathe it, running the pad of my thumb across the metal I nod "fine, come on." I mumble walking out my dorm room, I disappear in the hallway in a cloud of black and purple flames as he disappears in a cloud of green smoke.

Standing behind the dorm house Holding Nyx out in front of me, I look up at Devon, unaware of the group I'm so familiar with watching from the dorm room window, I clasp my hands around the blade, looking up at the sky as a storm begins to form "Perfect weather to play Lacrosse in." Devon smirks, laughing as the black and purple aura around me intensifies "Such a human game." I breath, the area around us silencing, not even a squeak from a tiny Ukurokian animal, a bolt of lightning strikes beside Devon as I snap the blade of the weapon, the black and purple flames seeping out as they wrap around my body, I chant the words as the flames disburse "Happy?" I ask, watching him smirk he shrugs "Happier." He chuckles before he pulls a lacrosse stick from behind me "get your other demons here." He says sternly, smirking I nod. whistling as The four demons appear "A game of Lacrosse?" Ayla asks, looking over my shoulder "demonic style." I mumble.

Swinging the lacrosse stick around my hand casually as I watch the demons get into position, a black and purple aura surrounds my body, Shea being engulfed in a strike of lightning, Wind wrapping around Ilya, Ice covers Rowan and green sparks around Ayla appears as Devon gets covered in water "we gonna do this or what?" Shea scoffs, walking towards Rowan i place my lacrosse stick down behind the ball facing towards me, watching him do the same I tilt my chin upwards "Ready..?"  I mumble, watching him smirk he nods, moving my lacrosse stick I pick the ball up with extreme ease.

By now all of us had gotten our demonic markings, watching as Ilya sprints at the speed of light he dodges Shea who smashes his lacrosse stick against the floor creating a bolt of lightning, Ilya creating a pathway with his wind he throws the ball into the makeshift goal "Oh come on!" Shea shouts as he snaps his stick he grabs Ilya's collar, throwing him into the ground "Why do you have to play in the thunder?" Looking over my shoulder at Kaya who's speaking to Ayla "Your human game, Lacrosse, gets pretty dangerous when we play it. With our power all colliding it makes too much of a noise. The thunder drowns that out" Ayla explains, clenching my jaw I swing the lacrosse stick around my hand "Wait!" Looking up at Ilya, his marks fade quickly as two white haired demons appear, their scarlet eyes glowing brightly "The Prince Of Estreal, playing such a mundane game." Tilting my chin upwards as the black markings on my face enlarge "I can see why Estreal is so Threatened by your presence." He continues, my jacket blowing in the harsh wind of the storm "who are you?!" Ayla shouts, the white haired demons smirking "I'm Luck, and this is Ezma." The taller of the two, so called luck, adds.

clenching my jaw when he looks over to Kaya, the iris' around my eyes shift into a jet black as my pupils glow bright red "I can smell the blood from her. She's a special one." Luck inhales heavily as he walks towards us, stopping a few feet in front, i watch closely as he scans her "Dustin..." Rowan mumbles, glancing to the other, Ezma who's circling Shea, I turn quickly as luck dashes towards Kaya, sprinting in the blink of an eye I grab the white haired demon by the throat, ripping it straight from his body, dropping the lifeless corpse of the now dead demon, I throw the throat to the side, looking down at my blood covered hands, the blood splattered across my face and neck "luck!" Looking to The other white haired demon, I dash towards him, going to rip his throat out, I stop instantly as my fingers begin to pierce his neck "Wait! Dusty as much as I hate these foul low-lives, I don't want to see you kill so bloodthirstily." Kaya shouts, looking over my shoulder at her I look back to the demon, the aura around me intensifying so much that the only thing you could see was the glow of my pupils, the black markings that were once only on my face now reached down to my middle finger "What percent of power is that?" I hear Rowan ask, Ayla and Devon stood staring in shock "still twenty.." they both whisper, as I crush the white haired demons entire right arm, the bones shattered by only my hands, His screams and cries echoing through the field "Run." I growl as he sprints towards a portal.
