WHAT THE HELL!!!!
What is this [Demonic System]? Why shouldn't other people know what my system is? Why does is say Magic Summoner, surely with my skills it should be Augmenter?
Oh well those are questions for later, for now I shall lord over my weak classmates. Mwahahaha...cough
"How has HE gotten a special system?!" Kyle exclaimed with shock and anger in his eyes.
"SHUT UP! Luke, the nearest academy shall be notified of your system and you will be admitted into their ranks within a few days. " Mr Ohara said with anger, I wasn't the only one who hated Kyle.
"Thank you sir" after saying this, I walked back to my desk and sat down. A shocked expression could be seen plastered across my face, never would I have imagined that I could get a special system. Your chances of getting one are mainly affected by your parents, but there are times when that is not the case.
Everyone looked at me with surprise and jealousy apart from Kyle. Of course he was staring daggers into my back with his blue eyes, shivers ran down my spine, but now was not the time to focus on that.
After a few more of my class mates had finished, they all got normal systems like Accountants, the bell rang and dismissed everyone.
It was PE time.
Normally I would have been terrible at PE, but everyone knows that once your systems are activated your body is enhanced to fit your system. With a new strength and agility score of 10 I would be pretty amazing, think of it this way, if the worlds best athlete before the Enlightenment was around a 5, I'm double that.
I know, I know. But Luke wouldn't that mean your way to strong for your age? No it wouldn't, seeing as a sub par Hunter can have stats in the hundreds, I wasn't that special. Despite that, most of my class would be around a 7 or 8 because they got normal systems.
My whole class walked to PE as a group, surprisingly people actually started to talk to me. It must have something to me having a really rare system, maybe.
Everyone reached the changing rooms and the large clamouring mass of bodies split into boys and girls, in the changing room we got changed into our black PE kits and put on our trainers. After getting dressed, I walked out of the changing room with my skinny arms and legs exposed. As I moved I could feel new muscles forming beneath my skin and my speed increased.
Once we got into PE, a loud voice boomed through the hall.
"Right, we will be doing a game of dodgeball, now that you all have your systems. Before the game, you will be given 10 minutes to get used to your new strength. Go!"
Mrs Smith shouted at us with her unusually deep voice, it was so deep it only hit 416 decibels. It was insane.
Once I had registered her orders I got moving, the screech of trainers on the floor filled the air and it hurt my ears, I jogged over to my usual corner which would be free of people. I crossed the 100 metre distance in about 5 seconds which was crazy. Before it would have taken me at least 30 seconds.
When I reached my corner I got into the press-up position and begun my workout.

I'm the space of two minutes I had easily done 90 push-ups shattering my record. Usually my spindly arms only would have been able to do 5 push ups. That really shows the effect of the systems on people.
After doing more push ups, the ten minutes ended and it was time to play.
"Ok so, the class will be split into two groups. Kyle you will be the captain of Team A and James you will be the captain of Team B. You all know the rules of dodgeball, except this time you can use the skills you have received from your systems. If I see one attack aimed at another student, I will interfere and the attacking student will be expelled. We good?... okay good" Mrs Smith said this with a serious expression on her face.
Okay this is good, with my new stats and skills I would be able to seriously compete in this game. Usually Mages and Summoners were physically weak and made up for it with their Intelligence. This was not the case for me, while my intelligence was my highest stat, I was still extremely strong and even had a skill that increases that strength. I would be a God at this game.
After the teams were picked, (I was picked last) everyone stood on the court with the balls in a line in the middle. My team (James' team) walked to the back of our side of the court and got ready.
"Go" Mrs Smith shouted signally the start of the game.
In an instant, I had reached the balls and picked one up and returned back to safety.
"Woah, Luke how did you do that" James said to me with astonishment written on his face.
"Speed" I replied with a happy look on my face. After everyone had returned, some with and some without a ball, a blur was hurtled across the court. It struck one of my classmates, doesn't matter what his name was. Cough... Side Character...Cough. But he was sent off of the court, with a painful crunch. The ball hit his stomach and seemed to stay there after making him crumple into a ball.
Soon after, tons of other balls were pelted across the pitch. To the normal eye, they would seem like blurs, but to me they looked pretty slow. Might be due to my extremely high intelligence stat, as I was thinking, a ball rushed towards me decently fast.
I felt goosebumps all over my body and my body moved into motion as I stepped to the right, narrowly dodging the fast ball. Cool, my own spider sense. Comics weren't very popular anymore seeing as we are basically as strong as heroes but it's cool to read them.
The ball hit the wall of the PE hall and bounced back, I stuck a hand out and grabbed it. If I'm being honest I must have looked insanely cool.
When I looked up I saw Kyle looking at me with anger, when will he stop being an ass? Excuse the language. I threw the ball at him decently lightly, even so the ball moved extremely fast.
It hit the wall extremely far away from him. Darn, still gotta work on my aim. The ball ricocheted of the walls of the hall a good few times before someone caught it. After that little encounter with Kyle, I mainly sat out for the game and played music in my head, well I sing it in my head and kinda danced to it.
I'm not weird I swear.
Before I knew it all my teammates had been taken out of the game by Kyle, somehow all ten members of his team were still on the court. Great, a ten on one.
"I think now would be a good time to tell you that the team who looses has to do 40 laps of the entire PE hall and the winner has the rest of the day off." Mrs Smith bellowed with a mischievous smile on her face.
"He's never gonna do it" a disbelieving teammate of mine whispered.
"Yes he will" James replied with a curious expression on his face.
Fantastic.
Each member of Kyle's team raised their balls and smiled spread onto their faces like a disease.
All at once a flurry of balls hurtled towards me, I did a really cool backflip over one of them, grabbed it out the air and threw it randomly in their direction. It hit home.
My new speed and intelligence made this game suuuuper easy for me. Each ball missed me as I elegantly dodged around them, when a ball passed me I plucked it out of the air and returned its source. As I was dancing around the balls, Kyle picked up a ball and threw it at me with all his strength. Though it was fast, I was somehow able to pick off his teammates with random throws before it reached me. I turned to face it and as it got closer it seemed to increase in speed, I knew that with the strength it was thrown with I wouldn't have been able to stop it.
With a simple thought, dark mana courses through my veins and formed claws around my fingers. They were midnight black and seemed to absorb all the light that came near it.
[Demon's Claws Activated]
My muscles expanded at a viable rate and soon I looked like a proper athlete. I put my hands up in a blocking position and stood head on to the ball.
"Boom!"
A sonic wave was released when the ball struck me and I was pushed back a few inches but remained solid. Opening my hand, I grasped the ball and decided to return it to its sender, I learnt back and then pelted the ball, I poured all of my strength into that single attack.
The ball went straight towards Kyle, maybe it was my hatred for him or my [Demonic Claws] but my sim suddenly improved. Kyle was still recovering from the sonic wave when he realised the ball was hurtling towards him.
"Shi..."
"Smack"
With a loud smack, the ball hit Kyle's chin and sent his head cracking backwards. It was something out of a TV series or book, his head snapped back faster than I could see and he was soon lying on the floor, completely unconscious.
"Yyeeeessssss!!!!"
All my teammates rushed onto the court to raise me up and start chanting my name, they knew that Mrs Smith had the authority to let them off of school and to make the other team do laps.
After the chanting died down, the bell rand it was the end of PE. Time to go back to my dorm, I usually hated the summer because I had to practically starve, the government barely gave me enough money to support myself. This time it would be different, I had a system and next year I would enrol in the nearest Academy, Eagle Head Academy. But before then I would need to make myself some money and get food.
I'm gonna be a Hunter for a bit.
