Ch.52

From a far, a skinny man was watching the apprehension test. He had blue halo like eyes and golden yellow hair. His attire was of a white shirt with baggy, brown pants.

He was leaning on a wall in the shade, making his presence unknown to everyone but two people. Luke knew he was there via a 'Power' and Daemon knew because of his techno magic.

'Shes finally learning, huh?'

The man had been watching over Midori these past couple of months. He saw her clean up an entire beach herself, giving her props.

'Back then, she seemed unmotivated to learn. I almost walked away in fact..'

He then rested his eyes on Daemon. He was carrying Midori, who was conscious and in a lot of pain. She was biting her lip however to stop herself from crying.

'But then she found him. I don't know their relationship, but whatever it is, its making her work harder than ever before. And...hes a better teacher..'

It took her approximately 5 minutes to learn to release her power. For the man, it took months and months of training for that.

'I won't interfere. If your comfortable with him as your teacher then that's fine..'

The man smiled and completely disappeared into the shadows. There was door behind him, making that possible.

"Mr. King. May I take her to the infirmary?"

Everyone stopped cheering as they saw her condition. Some noticed that she seemed to have a limit, noting that down for future reference.

"Hm? A-Ah, yes. You were next in line for testing, but you can do it when you come back, okay?"

"Yes sir."

Daemon lowered his head slightly and started walking away from the group of students. One student in particular, being Kaiyo, had their head down.

'She's been hiding that power from me?..'

Anger was building up in her as sparks went off in her palms. 'Have you've been faking it?' An small boom went off, propelling her forward towards Daemons back.

"Hey, stop!"

The class yelled. Daemon then looked over his shoulder at her. The frown was etched into her face as well as they crazy look she carried. 'She doesn't want to kill her..' Daemon looked back and kept walking.

"Hey.."

Luke appeared and put the hilt of his sword out. Kaiyo flew into the hilt and screamed loudly from pain.

"Attacking a fellow classmate? A friend? That's low.."

Luke grabbed the back of her gym-like clothes and held her up. She would cough up blood at times and it would get on his chest.

"I don't appreciate that. Especially in front of my eyes..."

He then threw her across the entire field and she landed against a huge fence. The class freaked at that and backed away.

"Let this be a lesson...inside of a lesson.."

A sudden drop in magic enveloped the area. Everyone stopped moving from the fear of them being treated like Kaiyo.

"You can talk shit about your classmates all you want. You can fight all you want as well. Just don't be like her. Attacking someone, a classmate OR friend, for that matter without letting them know. Jealousy, anger, don't let it overrule your natural judgement and or Nature."

Daemon was now walking down the hallway. Midori was breathing hard while her eyes were moving around.

'I-I have so much power..'

While the pain did infact hurt like hell, it was definitely worth it! With more practice and technique, she could definitely become stronger than Kaiyo. She'll be able to get her revenge from those words she said that uneventful day.

"That was cool, Midori. Who knew you had so much power.."

Daemon was using his techno magic to find the nurse's room. It was pretty fun to use this power as you see all and know all.

"Apparently,....you did, Daemon."

Daemon slightly laughed at that and shook his head head with a smile.

"I didn't know that this much would happen. I just wanted to see you awaken that hidden power of yours.."

"Well, you really did help me. I-I don't know how to repay you..."

"There's no need..."

Daemon got ready to take a small gamble.

"We're friends, right? They usually help each other out, no matter how much of bad situation they're in."

Her face became beet red at those words. 'I..did it mom, dad. I actually...did it..' Tears couldn't help, but pour out from his words. 'I've always had fake friends, people who used me for errands and as a scapegoat. But not...anymore. Daemon, I don't care if your lying to me or not. You could be fooling me and I wouldn't know. If you are actually tricking me, please let me keep this feeling. A feeling of having a place in someone's heart. A place of...comfort..'

Daemon ignored her tears as they made it to the nurses room. The inside was white and didn't look much different from your average school nurses room.

"Oh, hello. I'm glad you could find me."

In a chair, a beautiful woman was sitting down while writing on paper. She had short, light pink hair and light green eyes. She would be quite tall if she stood up as the black heels she wore made it seem that way.

"You knew we were coming?"

Daemon went up to a bed and laid Midori down on it. He then pulled up a stool and sat down on it.

"Yes, I did. A little birdy told me of your visit."

Her voice had a hint of playfulness in it. She then sat her pen down and got up. She came over to them while rummaging around in her pockets.

"Let's see.."

She stood next to Daemon while examing Midori. 'Just as he said..' She bent down and placed her hands on the bruised arm. Midori slightly grunted from that.

'W-Whats happening?...'

The wind was pushing Daemon back. He stopped and saw the view of the nurses butt. 'Damn her ass fat.'

Daemon was resisting an 'Urge' to move his hand as assault was in the back of his mind. Wait, that doesn't sound right. He stopped himself as he didn't want to assault her.

Yeah...

"Your cells...they're healing on their own. It's slow like a snail, but its evident.."

Her words surprised Midori and not Daemon. 'Your body has freed itself from the chains that bound it. With the sudden urge of power, your body was that of peak human condition..' When that blue energy shrouded her body for a split second, it Ehnaced everything. Regeneration, durability, strength, knowledge, everything.

But because her body is weak right now, as in no muscles, she can't handle the full power. Yes, she released her full power but that was for her current conditions.

Like if her current conditions was that of 10/10, she could release 20. If her conditions was that of peak human in muscle aspect, she could release her actual full power.

Basically, the stronger her body gets, the more power she could hold. The more she holds, the stronger she obviously becomes.

"But with the work of that regeneration, it'll take atleast 2 months for this to heal. That's very good as it'll take someone over 3 years to naturally recover from an injury like this."

Her hands started becoming coated in pink aura.

"But with my healing magic, I'll be able to heal this up in 2 minutes, top. That's awesome right?"

She winked at Midori who only nodded back. The nurse then turned her head back and looked Daemon up and down.

"Whatcha lookin' at?"

"H-Huh?!"

Daemon snapped out of it and looked away into a whistle. The nurse giggled at that and looked back. Midori was embarrassed for Daemon, making her laugh slightly.

The nurse soon healed her up and we were able to leave. She wanted to heal Daemon up to but he said he wasn't injured. She then kept insisting, only to be ignored by Daemon who left the room and met back up with Midori.

"I'm so happy, Daemon! I'm finally started to unlock my true potential!"

Midori was ecstatic. She couldn't be happy like this before as the slightest movement caused her pain.

"Thank you, Daemon!"

She was about to hug him, but realized they weren't that close on a personal level like that. Seeing her actions, Daemon slightly put his fist out to the side.

"Fist bump?"

Daemon asked as they kept walking. Midori smiled at his way of saying 'Your Welcome' and put her fist out as well. The two touched, each making the already apparent smile on their face even more noticable.

....

Daemon arrived in front of his new work space. 'Yep. Seems like a shady business..' The rest of his school day was carried out normally.

On his throwing test, he got a score of 22 meters for regular throwing and 636 meters for throwing with powers.

Lucky for him, the ball had a chip in it, making him able to manipulate it. The chip was at the top of the ball and when it was in the air, at the right angle, he exploded it, giving it a boost.

Luke sighed at that and had to go scout it for himself, coming back to 636 meters...or close to it.

Daemon then walked in, making a bell go off. What he saw next was an old fashioned bar that was made up of wood. He saw some people, who looked up at him when he entered, starring at him as well.

"Are you the new employee?"

Daemon looked up at the raspy voice. 'Hes a kid like me..' He saw how his skin would sometimes peel off as well which didn't freak him out in the slightest. 'That necklace of fingers does raise questions though..'

"Yes. My name is Daemon Fisher. Pleasure to meet you."

Daemon put his hand out, hoping for a hand shake. The people around him scoffed at that and continued doing whatever it was that they were doing before Daemon arrived.

"Pleasure to meet you as well, Fish."

He grabbed his hand and shook it with a smile. Daemon smiled as well, not knowing that these people would eventually be his brothers and sisters in the war.
