Nux felt a slight headache when the voice boomed in his head. It was quite shocking, but he shook off the feeling he had and jumped to his feets. 'That must be the Head Mistress!!' Nux thought as he scrambled out of his room. 'Shit! I just arrived and I've already piqued her interest.' "Why do I have to see her in the first place?" He thought out loud in despair, he could already feel their meeting turning into something he might not like. He walked towards the doors and pushed it open gingerly, but before he could walk out, he was interrupted by Moby. "Do you mind if we go out together?" The genderless but unrobotic voice, drifted into his ears, making goosebumps sprout all over his skin. 'What's wrong with this creep?!!' Nux thought in slight vexation but replied calmly nonetheless. "I do mind, so please leave me alone and don't think about following me." Nux said firmly and jammed the door behind him, leaving the stunned Moby behind. Moby was stunned, but a dark smile
"Huh!!" Nux was left dumbfounded when he heard her words.'Judging by her actions, she seems to be the one to have brought me here. Arghhh.' Nux groaned in pain again. 'And now, she's accussing me of doing some crazy shit I know nothing about after almost scaring my soul out of my body. What's an undead summon even? I haven't seen or heard anything like that throughout my whole life in this world!!' Nux thought angrily. "What's that senior?" He finally asked after staring for a minute or so. He made sure to not show his thoughts and emotions through his actions, and was as respectful as possible towards her. "What do you mean what's that?! Are you trying to act like you don't know what I mean?!" Montana said, visibly angry at his reply. Although she knew that he wasn't knowledgeable about the Undead Summon, she still asked him incase he knew who might be the mastermind behind it. Nux felt the air around him distort as her Mental Pressure became active, he knew that he could get
Nux woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, he had succeded in ignoring Moby the previous night, and resisted the urge to beat the living daylight out of him after his constant pestering. He took his bath and emptied his bowels in a bathroom within the Treehouse; He wondered where it all went and how it was transported there. The thought lingered in his mind for a while before a voice brought him back to reality. "This is your Physical Education teacher, gather in the center of the field in the next ten minutes." Nux jumped to his feets, dashed out of the treehouse before Moby could say a word, jumped from the platform and landed on the ground with a thud, then without further ado, he shot off at his fastest speed. Moby was left with his mouth wide open at Nux's actions at trying to escape from him. "Hmph! You can run but you can't hide." Nux meanwhile had a pleasant look on his face as he ran, happy that he had ditched Moby behind. As he ran, he met up with other studen
Nux panted as he came to a stop. He had been running at his top speed for thirty minutes straight, and had only stopped just now to take a break. A few feets from him was the shield he had come to know as Aegis, and around him were the other tired students. They had truly done their best to catch the annoying Shield, but for some odd reason some couldn't really understand, it always slipped through them like a slippery Eel, and evaded their desperate attempts at catching it. A student had even ended up dislocating one of his shoulders, after falling heavily during an attempted strike. They all were still new to their abilities and hadn't had time to learn to control them, if not, the test would have been a simple one... or so they thought. Nux clenched his fists and charged at the shield. His steps were calculated and precise, stepping on particular parts of the ground to avoid the students laying down, and pushing himself ahead with each stride. The shield trembled slightl
Nux kicked off the ground and shot forward at his fastest speed, crossing the short distance in seconds. His eyes sparkled like two onyx gems, and his intent blazed. He shot by the students, and reached out with an arm to begin his assault. Aegis vibrated, moved swiftly, and then evaded. Nux followed up immediately and twisted his body, and beyond anyone's expectations... he used his leg. No one had thought of this before, probably because they saw it as a stupid and useless move, but Nux who already figured out the pattern saw it as an advantage instead. 'If my hands aren't enough, then my legs would do!' He thought. His foot skimmed by the shield as the passive skill, Magnetic Repel, was activated again. The shield moved faster than usual, because of the skill used, coupled with Nux's new drive to catch it. Even at that... what could he do? The shield was powered by Mana, a formless and Law-breaking energy that permeated everything. He, on the other hand, only had his physi
Nux was stunned for a while.'Was the bang really necessary?!' He thought angrily.They could have just sent a beep of some sort to get the Medallion wearer's attention, but they chose to go for a more, loud and scary approach.He wasn't the only one who was experiencing such terrible form of alarm though, there were those who once again panicked, and lost it for a split second.Nux steadied his breathing, calmed his mind and then let it loose. Immediately, he felt something pressing against his mind, and dumping another piece of information there.The information turned out to be an image when Nux thought about it, and he didn't hesitate to check what it was.A map displayed itself in his view with two dots blinking on two ends of the map, one blue and the other green."The blue dot should be me, while the green should be where I should be." Nux mused to himself, already understanding what it meant. He turned around and began walking towards the marked spot on the map, while still c
"The surbodinates of the Demon God?" Nux uttered."Yes." Clark replied. "There have been cases in other Academies where the Demon God's surbodinates have infiltrated. There have even been some in high positions, wielding power.""So I've taken it upon myself to create a flexible array that can be placed anywhere, and would help filter out impostors within the human ranks." Clark explained with a smug smile.Nux looked at him with dreamy eyes, not the kind given to a crush, but the one given to a hero of some sort. Clark felt like he was sounding cool and making much sense, especially with the way Nux was staring at him, but what he didn't know was that Nux was lost in his own thoughts, and wasn't even paying him any attention.'I knew it! There's a Demon God in this world that needs to be taken down!' Nux thought eagerly. 'Now I have a REAL reason to get stronger.'Nux had already been given one reason to gain strength, and that was because of the mother of the body he resided in.Pr
"What are you staring at?!" Delilah barked, her anger palpable."You, of course." Nux replied with a sly smile on his face. Delilah not expecting that answer, harrumphed and looked away, gritting her teeth in anger.Nux laughed at this behavior and ignored her. He found it funny that she acted that way, just because he had won a little game.Also, he welcomed that new kind of behavior. He had only met people who were all chummy with him.Where were all the antagonists and their cliche lines?"Good day, class! I'm Clark Stuber, your Enchantment and Inscriptions teacher.." "For our first session, we'll explore the fundamentals of Inscriptions and Enchantments before diving into practical applications.""Inscriptions originated in the First Age, an era known for its legendary heroes, preceding the Dark Age.""Talim Roshan discovered Inscriptions, while Yessir Bennett pioneered Enchantment.""Many mistakenly believe Enchantment and Inscriptions are interchangeable terms.
