Devil's High of The Gifted

"First Day To Show What I Got! Here Goes!" Episode 2

The Very Next Day: Nazo would wake up early this time. Because, in the middle of the lecture. Misses Barks mentioned something about a test about showing off one's capabilities in the somewhat of a spar Between students. He would be excited to know, He gets to show off in front of all the lady folk that would be watching. He would imagine himself winning against who he was ever sparring against. Then having the ladies just drool over him. His eyes would sparkle with anticipation. With an unending childish smirk. He would cough and calm himself. Then he would Get a shower, then get dressed and put on his backpack. Him heading out into the same living room to only look into the kitchen to see his mom in there would be working hard on making something that can only be described by Nazo, As heaven on earth. He walks up to her and smiles and ask: "Whatcha cooking mom? it smells freaking awesome!" He kept his smile and close his eyes to give a closed eye smile. His mom would look at him and smiling in an happy felt evil smirk and with excitement in her eyes. She would then say: "Well, I am cooking you a power snack of course! So you can beat up whoever dare defy Lord Nazo!" Nazo would open hiss eyes wide before he looks off to the side with a bit of a blush and what she said would ruin his smile a bit. Him scratching his head and saying: "Ma.. You know I'm no child anymore, I'm 16." He would be referencing his childhood. When he was around 5. He would play pretend with his mother. He would be a mighty god and his mother was the worshipper who tried everything in her power to please her god. She would bring snacks and candy to make her god satiestfied. It was for the sake of keeping her child's mind off that day. That day meaning when his father would depart from home to never come back. Rewinding back to the past. He was around 2 when his father would be there is his life. Being, well. What any father should be. Then he would get called off for a mission in a magic group formed by the kingdom of Ruby. To not return home. A magic knight would deliver the bad news. Saying he was killed in action. The knight said that he was hit by a spear to the heart. After trying to defend his comrade. Which in truth. Some of the knights would see him as a threat to their reputation and killed him off. Covering up the truth would be their alter ego. Fast forward to the present. He would be eating on the lunch. He kept the memory under his conscious so he would not think about it. And so would his mother. He finishes, Brushes his teeth and head on to school. He would be Holding on to what he deemed "Combat Gear." Which would be just a jacket which had about 30 sharp knives sheathed in each pocket. Now you would ask. 'Why does he not use magic?' Well. He was born into the world where magic is almost everything. Sure. But, He was born without any magic. Not even inheriting either his mother or father's magic. Though. This did not hold him down. He learned his body and martial arts. He also took the time to study the blades. He sometimes regret not being born with magical power. But. He has soon to forget that he will too, have magic. Just, He has to learn how to awaken it and use it. Though, He would need something to set off his body natural response system. He gets to school. He walks up to the door and clear his throat before he opens the door and walk in. Him heading to his classroom and walking in and taking a seat. Misses Barks would look at him and smile and say: "Welcome. Are you ready for today?" Nazo would nod and reply: "of course! Why wouldn't I?" She chuckles before she checked her computer. That's when a new student would walk in. He had blue hair and blue eyes. His hair was long that he styled it into a more rebel-ish look with some flowing down smooth in the front and in a pony tail in the back. He had sort of a smug face on. This dude would look at Nazo and scoff before he sat down. The Girls would just drool over him. They seemed to think of him highly by hanging around him during the free hour before school starts. Nazo would be jealous and try to shrug it off and think about who he is facing. The bell would ring and signal for the start of school. The girls would take their seat but stare over at the blue hair 'Rebel.' and not pay attention. The teacher would then take attendance before she stands up and said: "Alright. Today will be a test of strength. Now. I will need you to follow me to the Gymnasium. There is where we are going to a friendly spar. Hear that?" She looks over at the smug blue hair man. He scuffs and says in a deep raspy and masculine tone: "Whatever." Misses barks would sigh and then says to the whole class: "Alright. Follow me." She grabs a pointer off the white board and waited for the students to stand up. They did and so did Nazo and The blue hair dude. For those who do not know. His name is 'Aoi Shi' The Student who has defeated a Demon with his bare hands. A beast said to have enough magic to destroy the world. The Teacher would begin to walk out the room and the class followed in a single file line. Hannah oddly seemed to be missing from the class today. Perhaps she did not want to come today. or she was sick. They walk down to the gym. The gym was a wide open space with a smooth floor made of rubberized wood. And a symbol of a silhouette of a devil head with two horns. and a golden glow and a red circle around it, Would be in the middle of it. Basketball goals would be on the four sides. they would be lifted for the sake of today. The teacher would be there too. But not alone. There would two magic knights there. one would be from the group called 'The Golden Levels of Messiah.' and one from a lesser known groups called: "The Outcast.' Both groups would be strong in their own right. They would just smile and look at the kids. walk in. They would wear two different color robes the came down to only their chest. The Golden Levels of Messiah robe would have a golden cross symbol surrounded by holy fire. This would represent their popularity because they deal with threats to their home land. But also taking on demons. While the color of their robes were a pastel brown. While the outcast would have a black robe with a white human skull that had horns coming from the head. their robes would be outline in red. These are the ones who run the clean up for the knights. And the wizard king. The Golden Levels of Messiah would clear his throat and speak in a light, masculine voice. This man had dirty blonde hair and green highlights. His eyes being a nice golden color, He would say: "Alright kids. Today we will have a simple sparring match. No hard feelings afterwards. Got it?" He would look at the students and they nod and say yes sir in a unison timing. Then The Outcast member would speak in a thunderous deep masculine tone and say: "Alright. We've already decided the matches." He would go on and saying the names and rounds. Then it got to Nazo. The knight would say: "round 6, Nazo no Chi. Vs Aoi Shi." Nazo eyes would widen and look at Aoi. Aoi Would look over at Nazo and scoff. Then. The knight would announce the final round. Which was a the girl named Hannah. Which does not seem to be there today. She was facing a girl named: "Alexa Alloy." A girl that was about 5"10 and had long black hair and crimson eyes. She had eyebrows that seemed to be in the shape of arrows that lead down into an unending smug face also. She seemed to ooze trouble. Then The matches would begin. round 1. a student by the name of Ralph would win. He had short black hair And Blue eyes. he would be 6'1. While the second round went to a student by the name of Jason. He had short black hair also. while his eyes were brown. The rounds would go on for awhile before round 6 came. Nazo would gulp and get butterflies in his stomach. He would look over at Aoi. Aoi would be stretching and chuckling. He would leer over at Nazo and Have a smirk. The Outcast knight would say: "Next. Nazo no Chi, VS! Aoi Shi." Nazo would walk up to the front and into the little sparring circle. So did Aoi. The Golden knight would speak: "This is a friendly sparring match. Though, Act as if you are going for the kill. On go, You may begin." Nazo would nod before Aoi did the same. He Then looks at Nazo. and Nazo looked at Aoi. The outcast knight would say: "Bow of Honor!" They would bow and then stand up straight. The golden knight would get to the side of them and say: "Go!" Aoi Would chuckle devilishly and begin to have a Japanese Oni mask form on his face before blue flames would emit from him. He would then speak: "As a gentleman. Ill let you attack first." Nazo Would gulp before he unbuttons his jacket with the knives. He then Sigh and look at his opponent. Then he would grab a few knives and unsheathe them and throw them high into the air and draw a few more and throw them at Aoi and then He drew more as the knives were still in the air and he throws them up into the air also. the knives he threw up from earlier would fall back down and he would jump to their height and spin kick them towards Aoi. Using the momentum to get higher. He would get higher and grab the knives from the air and throw them at Aoi also. Aoi would be caught off guard with the knives. since. The world is mostly magic. he used knives. Why? This would be the questions in his head. He would move his head from side to side. but the knives would nick the mask and cut it a bit. He then Get enraged and dodge the other knives and burn the last barrage of knives into molten metal. Aoi would then raise his hands and then draw them back into a way where it looked like he folded his arms back. Then Throw his arms forward and shoot a twin beam of flames at Nazo. Aoi Yelling: "use your magic instead of puny knives! I can just burn those to nothing with my Oni Hell Flames!" Nazo's eyes would widen before he guards and just take the burns of the flames. He got second degree burns. Nazo would land on the ground and grunt in pain. He would then look at Aoi and say: "I have no magic. But, That is not going to hold me back!" He would grab two more knives and throw them at Aoi. Nazo would then grab two more and bomb rush at Aoi with the knives still in mid air. Aoi eyes would widen through the mask. He would be shocked. But then calmed himself and began to chuckle as he burned the knives. But Getting caught off guard by the sudden charge. he would instinctually jump back. But after getting cut by the knives in the gut, left arm, and right arm. He would then land on his feet again. before the cracking of gritting teeth can be heard. Aoi would be pissed. He would say: "How Dare.. You Filth.. Cutting me, with no magic!?" He would silently exclaim to himself before. that's when a girl would yell "Get him Aoi! Don't let that magicless freak beat you!" Nazo Would be surprised by the sudden words, that were oddly on Aoi's side. He would stare off in space and say in his mind: "magicless freak huh?.. That's new.." That's when Aoi shouted: "I won't!" He took advantage of Nazo's sudden day drift. And Fire off Fire balls that would hit Nazo and explode. which sent him flying back into the nearest wall. Nazo would hit the wall and keep spacing out. He was reminiscing about the past. Back when he was 4. He would go to the doctor to test what kind of magic he had. The doctor would tell his mother and father that. He was deeply ashamed to tell them that Nazo was magicless. This would Crush Nazo's dream. and when his father died. he cursed himself that. if he had magic. Maybe his dad would still be alive. His crimson eyes would become dull. He would begin to wonder if he was holding his family back. Maybe because his magicless self could not possibly make them happy. Back to the present. He would be doing nothing to Aoi. Aoi would walk up to Nazo And cover his fist in flames and began to punch and kick him with considerable speed. Not caring that he might kill him. The knights would watch. Seeing that. maybe Nazo was coming up with a plan to fight back. But that was not the case. Nazo thought process would be this: "Perhaps I should just give up. ill never be able to compare to someone, Even to anyone who could has magic. I could never make my mother happy. Maybe I should just give up.." Nazo would just close his eyes before he see's a mental picture of his mother shouting out his name and crying. Suddenly. He got this weird sensation then he would suddenly open his eyes. The color in them would return. That's when a voice in his head would whisper: "Do you need my help? I am happy to oblige~" Suddenly. His eyes became a dull red. a Symbol on his head would look like a rune then he would slowly stand up and tank the punches. He glares at Aoi. Aoi would be surprised before he stopped and slowly back up: "This twisted feel. I-It's like.. That day..." That's when Darkness would begin to emit off of Nazo. Nazo Would then begin to walk up to Aoi. Nazo would then speak in a way where it sounded like something demonic would speak In unison with Nazo: "Dark Magic: Darkness Blunt Barrage!" Suddenly. Balls of darkness would rush from Nazo and hit Aoi in the chest, Legs, And face. This attack to Aoi was like getting hit by bowling balls from thousands of feet in the air while laying down. That's when the mask on Aoi's Face would break and the flames would vanish. He would get hit a few more times before he was suddenly sent flying back and hit the ground. He was speechless. But. In the moment of fear, He would Shout: "I give!! please!, I give up!" This would be humiliating to Aoi. But he chose that over death. Nazo would Just stand there before he yelled out with the doubled voice before the color in his eyes returned and the mark and darkness would disappear, His voice going back to normal. and he would stop screaming and fall forward and be completely unconscious. This would mean. He did this sub consciously. He would slowly wake in the hospital bed in the healing ward of the school. He would be completely healed and he had his mother watching him. His mother would be watching him and smiling with a motherly smile. she would speak: "Hey honey. You awake?" Nazo would look at his hand then at his mother: "Yep." He would smile and his mother would give a weak smile: "That's good." Nazo would notice and ask: "What's wrong ma?" She would shake her head and smile more bright like: "Oh. nothing. Just got worried is all." Nazo would chuckle and speak: "Oh don't worry, I'm all good!" She would chuckle. That's when the doctor would walk in and say: "student Nazo. Misses Chi. He is perfectly healed and ready to go. you can take him home any time you like." She would smile before she nods. She then look over at Nazo, and ask: "Shall we?" Nazo would nod and reply: "Yes please! I am starrrving!" They both chuckle before her and him headed home. This will mark the end of The adventures of Nazo for now. Stay tune for the next episode. Nazo will learn what happened and try to do the power again. Though. His mother holds a dark secret about the power he used. The power would be more demonic then some may think. But That is for another time. So Make sure you wait for episode three. Where Nazo will learn more about the truth of his past! Next on Devils High of The Gifted!
