Dustins PoV
"Get on the coach!" Looking up at Mr Akino as i step into the vehicle, Shea and the other demons following closely "Where are we going?" Looking to Celia he cocks an eyebrow "It's the annual Fighting festival" Beth chirps as she peeks out of her seat "Fighting festival?" Celia hums, nodding as I take a seat behind Beth and Kaya I exhale heavily "Listen up! You are expected to be the most elegant group there. The top academy and being the top of your entire school you are also expected to show off your skills to the very best. If I even sense the tiniest bit of immature behaviour, I'll kick your asses." He says sternly, clenching my jaw he nods "Nonetheless, you better make me proud!" He shouts as everyone cheers.
Stepping out of the coach I stretch as Mr Fernandez walks towards us "you better not go all out Dustin" he whispers, nodding I exhale heavily "I'll try not too." I mumble, watching another coach pull up, a huge group of students wearing navy uniforms steps out "Look, Flarecross!" A blonde haired girl shouts as she points to us, Shea, Rowan, Ayla, Ilya, Celia and Devon stood close to me "Hey Flarecross! We're Shutterbrooke high!" A tall black haired male shouts as he walks towards us, glaring at them out the corner of my eye I watch as the students of my class talk to them, the other school moves towards me and the demons "Nice to meet you! I'm Axel Boswell!" He shouts as he holds his hands out, glaring at him out the corner of my eye, Rowan shakes his hand uneasily "Can you feel the energy radiating from them..." a tall ginger haired female whispers to a few others of shutterbrooke "Were going to get ready, Daniel." I mumble as I walk towards the entrance of the Arena.
Stretching I turn to Eli who's stood beside me "Who's first?" I ask, watching him point to the board I walk towards it, passing Kaya silently as I scan over the board "and this is round one?" I ask, James walking beside me "yeah, there you are third, fighting a student from Shutterbrooke, David Turnbull" he points out, nodding I look at the names "Why isn't Shea, Rowan, Ilya, Ayla, Devon or Celia on?" I ask, watching him shrug he looks behind his shoulder at the demons who are talking to each other "Maybe they are on next round" he mumbles.
Watching as the two fights come and go, I stand as my fight comes up, stretching I look to Talon "I can't use Talon." I whisper as Shea walks up behind me "You can't use just your hands" he replies, exhaling heavily I tilt my chin upwards "If I use Talon, I can kill hundreds and you know that." I mumble, watching him nod he sighs "just use Talon. You can control yourself, I know you can." He says, nodding as he pats my back I hear the siren buzz as I exit the room my class is stood in.
Walking out into the Arena as the citizens of Ukuroko cheer my name, my class move to stand in the grand circle of the arena, an area where only students from fighting schools stand. Looking up at a brown haired male who's waving and smiling, his hands sparking up with explosions "David Turnbull from Shutterbrooke with his extraordinary explosive hands! And Dustin Shiró from Flarecross with... unknown? What?" Hearing the commentator say into his microphone, his voice echoing through the arena, staring at him I furrow my brows 'he can use his own hands', looking to Talon, I inhale slightly, as black and purple flames erupt around me, gasps and cheers from the audience can be heard as David's eyes widen "NOW THAT WAS A SURPRISE!" The commentator shouts down the microphone, channeling the energy down to my fists I walk towards him "No hard feelings when I win" David winks as he raises his exploding hands he goes to grab me, but is sent flying into the side of the ring when my foot is sent into his stomach, not realising my eyes glowing bright yellow, I walk towards him slowly "No hard feelings right" I murmur, feeling a sharp pain on my side as his hands explode "crap" I growl, jumping backwards the flames around me intensify as my eyes glow through the dark colour of them "What kind of power is this?!" He shouts, sprinting towards him I take out his feet, sending my fist into his chest, the flames around me getting even bigger as my left eye shifts into a dark scarlet red "DUSTIN GET OFF OF HIM ITS DONE!" Hearing Ayla shout from the stands I pull back violently, my hand covered in blood "And this win goes to Dusty Shiró!" The commentator shouts uneasily as I'm escorted out of the arena.
Sitting in a small room on my own, I tilt my head back slightly, my knuckles covered with blood and my eyes still glowing, my black and purple horns on show, I don't bother looking up as the door swings open revealing Ayla "What the hell was you thinking!" She shouts as she slams the door " I was thinking about winning." I reply looking up at her now "Yeah and killing the poor guy!" She shouts again, scoffing I stand before falling against the wall, my eyes shifting into a deep scarlet "You are full of bloodlust!" She shouts after scanning me up and down "Maybe.. but something's wrong" I whisper, my eyes shooting open as I fall to the ground, my head spinning as my pulse increases drastically "Dustin? What's wrong?" She asks, her voice drowned in worry "I don't know" I grumble, watching her crouch in front of me I grab her arm "get Celia!" I shout, watching her stand she continuously glances to me before running out to get Celia.
Laying on my back, I stare at the ceiling which is spinning, my fangs pierce my bottom lip as I inhale and exhale heavily, the door opening revealing Kaya, Celia, Ilya and Devon "Oh I've seen this before.." Celia and Devon hum as Celia cuts his arm open, Devon holds me up as Celia puts his arm over my mouth, I drink the blood from the small demon, my fangs sinking into his flesh "What? Like a Vampire?" Kaya and Ilya ask, Devon nods "He's the only demon to ever have this problem." Devon states as he pulls Celia's arm away from me I growl, blood gliding down the corner of my mouth "It happens every once in a while" Celia murmurs.
