“What are you looking at?” Bellatrix asked Daemon who stared at the bleachers around the main grounds of the gym.“Just another bastard that needs to be taken off his high horse.” Daemon simply replied as he gave a playful smirk. “Anyway, enough about that, what do we have here today?”“You’d know that if you came here on time.” Bellatrix commented.The two of them continued walking towards a specific group of students. Daemon doesn’t know most of these people but, there are those that are familiar to him. Specifically, there are the scholars who attended the Academy at the same time as him. Other than Bellatrix,“You can stop with the lecture now.” Daemon replied. “Can you please answer the question now?”“We’re playing dodgeball.” Bellatrix answered.“Figures.”This is like the opening ritual for any freshmen. Daemon knows it because he’s taken part of it as well. He’s pitted against the seniors of the Academy. Individuals who hold the highest authority in the campus. Needless to sa
Daemon began the match against the seniors and, right at the get go, everyone can see that Daemon doesn’t have any intention of losing to them. Not by a long shot. He’s doing his best to dodge as many attacks as possible. All while also being able to grab some of the balls that are being thrown at him. However, there are a lot of holes with his defenses. He isn’t able to completely dodge everything and, this is caused by the fact that there are three balls instead of just one.Needless to say there are always, at the very least, two other balls that are coming at him. Even if he does manage to get one, this will leave him vulnerable as he doesn’t have the proper reaction time to dodge the other ones nor catch them at that. He’s left like a sitting duck, hit with anything and everything.This is problematic because, he isn’t going down easily as well. The fact that he’s able to catch some of the balls mean that he is extending the period that he remains on the field. That means there’s
There is a good reason why Daemon didn’t do all of this from the start. Four reasons to be exact. The first is because he wants to drain some of the stamina of his seniors. Though he knows that it’s impossible to drain this completely, he at least knows that he can drain a significant amount so that they won’t be able to perform at their fullest when he begins counter attacking.The second reason is because he’s giving them extra lives. Daemon doesn’t want to end this with hitting one senior just one time. No. He wants to hit the seniors as many times as he can and, this is only possible if they have extra lives. Preventing them from leaving the field and making them stay there until they get battered to the point that they’d lose consciousness. The third reason is because Daemon is charging up his gears. There is a great chance that he will be fighting against a very athletic senior. If this happens then his whole plan would fail, unless he gets enough stats so that he’d be able to
The storm that Daemon caused began to brew across the whole of the Academy. Multiple individuals began to make their move because of what he stirred. This is the first time within the whole history of the Academy that there is an unsettling feeling that’s created and, the fact that it comes from a single person makes it that much more of an enigma than what it already is. But it would be impossible to disclose everything that’s happening all at once.And so, for the sake of clarity, let us align the events based on what just passed. Let us move to the office of the head of the Academy – Evon Summers. Within this place is the aforementioned headmaster sitting at his desk that stands at the end of the room. Right behind him is the student council president, his daughter, Yvonne Summers. And, in front of the two of them, is the one who is about to be persecuted. None other than the bastard who caused the commotion. Not Daemon but Ned.Just from the air around the room and the event that
Within the same time that Ned is being scolded, Bellatrix made sure that she also gets her alone time with Daemon. There is an hour-long break provided by the headmaster after the said class. It’s obvious why this is needed after the display that went on and the words that Daemon said to the whole of the student body.That in itself is cause already to create an intervention. And though this would show that Daemon’s already steadily gaining power over the Academy, the headmaster has no other choice but to push through with this command. All because he also has to deal with Ned.Meanwhile, Daemon is now confronted by the said female. Bellatrix waited for Daemon at the corridors of the school. There is a spot there that isn’t usually frequented by students and, Bellatrix is able to gain this information early on. Allowing her to have this seeming secret conversation with Daemon. One that began with her lecturing once again.“Do you know what you did?” She began, as if a teacher that’s a
Daemon rushed towards the living room where the fireplace illumines it up to the farthest corners. There’s a bit of darkness that the light can’t touch but that doesn’t matter as the only one that needs to be seen is the man sitting in a couch near the heart of the flames. The man has his eyes closed and his head is tilted towards the blank ceiling. But as soon as the man heard the small hasty steps, he composed himself – facing Daemon who jumped towards his lap without a second of hesitation.“Someone seems to be full of energy. What’s up sport?”Daemon’s father lifted him up high into the air. Daemon then offered a lighthearted laughter followed by a plead to be put down. A request that his father granted right away.“Dear, our son has a question for you.” Daemon’s mother, Octavia, said.She stood at the door of the room. Not bothering to get further inside as she crossed her hands and placed these right below her chest. Resting her body at the left edge of the doorway. “Does he no
“Where’s my son?” Alexander Astley asked Bernard as soon as the butler entered the room.“He’s in the training hall master. I’ve supplemented him with the regime that you requested.” Bernard replied, wiping some blood that’s still left on his glasses.“Well he better learn fast. The sooner he unlocks his own internal energy, the sooner he’d mature.” Alex said.“If I may master.”“What is it?”“I just don’t understand the connection between internal energy and maturity. I’ve never encountered a person who has become mature just because they’ve gotten command over their internal energy before.”“That’s because you don’t know internal energy as much as I do Bernard.” Alex said as he spared a moment to look at Bernard. His eyes gleaming with the golden color that comes from his overflowing internal energy.“There are secrets to this world that humanity has forgotten over time. Things that I personally have connection with.” The man added. “All you need to know is that you need to continue
The rest of the afternoon passed peacefully for Daemon. He didn’t get bothered anymore. Yvonne and Taylor have both been taken care of and, as far as other bastards are concerned, nobody wanted to follow up where others already failed. Though this also directly correlates to the fact that he has a high notoriety now, Daemon couldn’t care less. In fact, this is precisely what he wants.Things are just starting and the blocks that he is putting together are perfectly standing the way he wants them to. But the base is still shaky as it currently is. There are some pieces that are still missing and, to complete it, he went to the person that will complete what is still lacking and that means meeting up at the rooftop of the Academy.There are pieces of important information that Daemon gathered before he left the Elites Headquarters. With the help of Desmond, Daemon is able to get the data of all the scholars of the Elites that are still studying in the Academy. The reason why he has to d
