Demon

"So your saying you aren't completely healed"

I just nodded at that. It taken some time but she cooled down after torturing my ribs to death.

This was the first time i had been bullied like this. Good thing her guards stopped her before she could kill me.

'Indeed women are dangerous'

Ashley stroked her chine and said in a worried tone

"That's not good. Arthur has too many people on his side"

"...Arthur"

Seeing my confusion she begun to explain what happened while i was passed out.

Turns out the reason i was able to survive was not because of the potion but Ms.Ashley's initiate ability.

The potions were able to slow my death but couldn't completely heal the fatal injuries to my neck. Fortunately Ms.Sandra had followed us from the second follow.

But no one is a completely good samaritan in th. Even without telling me i knew what she took from them. Early i had noticed she had Alex's spacial ring on her hand.

But that was the least of my problems. Turns out while i was out, a group of students band together the survivors and were lead by a familiar classmate, Arthur.

One could say if i was the demon of the school then Arthur before the descent was the angel.

Arthur is a blond haired young man with a handsome face and a great body build. He popular for being talented in multiple sports and having academic achievements.

After get people he looted weapons from the bodies of those that died. And due to his popularity people supported him.

Because of my condition Alex and Jake were not able to kill the last wolf but because neither head any experience leading, they come back to Ashley to help.

I had she was fuming after hearing i was badly injured. We Ashley they were able to obtain students to follow her.

"That how two faction were created in the school but ours keeps growing because we can hunt in the dungeon"

Because Jake and Alex have their armours, they are able to hunt with in the dungeon. Ashley said Arthur and his group recently tried to hunt in the dungeon but suffered many casualties.

This is the reason more and more people are joining us.

Ashley smiled and said excited

"Now that your here we can get more people."

I turned to Ashley not sure what she meant. Ashley shook her head disappointed that i couldn't figure it out

"Because neither Alex nor Jake want to assume the actual leader position, our faction is left without a true leader"

"But don't we have you with us"

"Nono i am only the leader because Jake and Alex want me to be, I have no control over them."

I understood what she meant. In our current time only the strong can truly rule, Ashley is backed by them but they have yet to give her their complete true.

'Heck if they did, i would beat them twenty time over for putting their trust in this devil of a woman'

Suddenly i had a whisper in my ear.

"Why do i get a feeling your not having good thoughts about me"

A chill run down my spine.

'Damn Alex's dad was right, women have can read your mind'. I remembered what he once said

"Damien remember never show weakness in front of a woman. You just have to smile at whatever she says"

I looked at Ashley and smiled. With the scar on my face it made me look quite intimidating.

But before i could get a good read of her face a fist landed on my ribs.

'Damn you Uncle, you lied to me'

Once again she came down after a few punches. For a moment i thought i was being punished by a God for all the bullying i died.

'This is the true definition of 'Karma is a bitch' '

"You said your still injured so how can you walk"

My expression slowly change from painful to serious. I did not answer her instead i looked at the people around her.

Though Ashley had ignored the people around her, i didn't. Most of them were had uncomfortable faces on them.

The bodies on the ground made them wonder more how i had killed them. Unfortunately for them i had no intentions of telling.

Ashley understood and turned around then looked back at me and said

"We should leave this place, do you need someone to support you"

I wanted immediately reject the offer but decided to accept it because moving alone will weaken my body even more.

Exiting the door i was faced with unbelievable sight. Despite knowing about it, i was stunned by the change.

Ashley saw my expression and smile as well then said

"I was just as stunned as you when the dark barrier around the school collapsed."

After the dungeon was completed, the veil around it disappeared but was revealed was not the familiar surrounding but a large forest with big tall trees.

I thought of something and frowned.

Ashley didn't seem to understand my worries but said

"You shouldn't worry, there are no animals in close to as"

Honestly that was not want am worried about but decided not to dwell on it 

'There is still time before they appear'

Following Ashley, she gave me a brief explanation of how our group is doing. We reached inside the main building which was slightly crowded.

Upon seeing Ashley, they began to murmur. She didn't pay them any attention and said in a commanding voice.

"Move out of the way" 

Because of Ashley's position, they made way for her. Some had even shown fearful expressions at us or to be more precise me.

Am not sure if it is because of my past reputation or because of my scars maybe because i had battled against the wolves.

I just shrug it off and kept moving.

After we had left the murmurs become louder 

"Shit wasn't that Damien"

"Not even those wolves could kill him"

"Boss Arthur is in big trouble now, i wonder how he will respond"

"Don't say things about Arthur like that"

While so argued a small group of 3 girls in the corner looked at what was happening

"So what should we do"

The pretty girl with blonde hair kept looking at Damien's group depart and said

"Don't worry about it, let's watch from the side lines and see how my brother handles it"

One of the girls looked at her and said

"Olivia, weren't you in the same class as Damien"

The blonde girl turned to her friend

"Why do you ask"

Her friend's face blushed a little as she said

"Do you think i'm his type" 

Olivia shook her head and said

"You should throw away those thoughts"

Her gaze landed on Ashley who led the group

"His already claimed plus Ashley's not one to share from what i know about her"

Both her friends looked disappointed hearing this. One of them suddenly got an idea.

"Since we can't get Damien, can't we have Alex or Jake"

They became once again excited by the idea.

Olivia just shook her head.

.....

Damien suddenly sneezed and thought

'Is someone talking about me'

We reached the infirmary but when Ashley tried to open it. It didn't open.

I looked at her and asked

"Is something wrong"

"Am not sure, Ms.Sandra should have been with you when we arrived but she wasn't. So i thought i would bring you here instead"

I did tell Ashley at i scared her away. My trait must have affected just like the other guys but since i did not command her to do anything. Its effects should not have been great but enough to intimidate her.

Ashley banged on the door

Knock. knock

Seeing there was no response her face turned serious. She turned to one of the guys.

Knowing what to do, he walked to the door and kicked it open. He made way and Ashley entered.

Looking around she finally spotted Ms.Sandra who hide herself in the corner staring at the door.

The moment i entered she jumped back in fright, trembling all over as she shouted

"Stay back"

Ashley unsure what was going on turned to me, looking for an explanation.

"I may have accidentally used a skill on her"

She turned back to Ms.Sandra who clung to the wall like a cornered rat and wondered

'What kind of skill would have turned this prideful tiger into a pitiful kitten'

After the descent because of her ability she was able to provide healing to those that got injured.

And because of this both factions want her which caused her to become a neutral party.

She receives resource from both ends which made her overconfident to a point she acts like all are beneath her.

Ashley seemed at this and gave me a look that said

'Good job'

I on the other hand wasn't happy, i didn't think my trait would have such an effect but she is the only person who can make me get better faster.

To show i didn't have bad intentions, i gave her a wide smile.

Seeing me Ms.Sandra smile like that, her eyes rolled back and she passed out while saying something.

"...d...em..on."

She fell to the ground.I was worried so i turned to Ashley.

Her grin just kept get wider because she found this situation pleasing. She turn to me and said

"You get +10 boyfriend points"

Huh

'What is wrong with her'
