Summary Of All What has happened;
Few weeks ago, I transmigrated into the body of an evil demon lord, Dravil.
With just a single idea in my head, I enrolled in a mage training course, Zenphek, to help pay Mr Greg and actually get my hands on the book which explains everything regarding Dravil. I had to go under the disguise of a normal teenager to get through.
Encountering a lot of powerful mages and also the Council who double promoted me into Rank D. Well, my choice so as to ease every building suspicion.
Today, immediately I got to know my classmates. We were given a test, more of a task— to bring back the Evernight Flower.
A flower which grows in the shadows, having the ability to heal and make changes to what it impacts its effect on.
With just ten minutes until failure, we were suddenly attacked by a Spidux which splitted two of us.
Knowing I have to help a boy inorder to pass this test, I did what has to be done.
Alongside with a new friend, Eden, we destroy the Spidux and now, with the boy, Damien, we all race into the cave to get the Evernight Flower.
Although Mr Akio watches us, I know something isn't right. There is someone watching us in the dark and I can feel it every time my legs hit the ground. A powerful being capable of destroying us linger and wait for the right time.

Present Time….
"When are we going to take a break?" Eden asked, ready , tired and lazy.
"We aren't going to take any break" Vin made himself clear.
"Why?"
"We are here!." Damien said, making Eden take a deep breath before asking, "Where are the rest? And where is the flower?"
"The flower is over there" Vin pointed at the plant which grew on a small soil, receiving sunlight from a crack on the rock. "And that makes things more suspicious"
"Guys….." a male voice whispered from behind a large stone.
"You hear that?" Eden looked around.
"Over here!" The voice continued, "Come here! Are your ears blocked or something?"
The trio slowly made their way to the stone, where the voice was coming from, walking towards it, they saw Ivan and Lucas, both hiding.
"Why are you two hiding here?" Vin asked, doing the same.
"Something isn't right. Not only could we take the flower, we were attacked by another creature!" Ivan explained, "It had sharp claws for hands, making it extremely powerful and could chop down almost anything. We tried to stop it, but magic or attacks didn't work on it."
"Where is the creature now-" Vin couldn't complete his words as a drop of saliva landed on his hood.
"Up!" Eden said, already shivering in fear.
"You think I don't know?!" Vin said, slowly looking up to see a spider, a giant spider, the size of three school buses.
With its abdomen having stripes of black and red, and its gleaming sixteen eyes couldn't leave Vin's.
"The spider doesn't look happy for us breaking into its home" Lucas whispered.
"Definitely!" Vin rolled away, before the spider stabbed him with its razor sharp clawed legs.
Standing up, he looked at the spider whose main aim was him.
[The spider seems interested in attacking me and not the others? Why must that be so?. Wait, that's it!.]
"Hey! You want to attack me, huh?"
A scream-like sound left the mouth of the spider as it attacked Vin who had long made a plan.
"Is that boy a fool or?" Damien could believe Vin could do something like that.
"Although the plan looks solid, making himself the bait inorder to make us get the flower is just sick!" Eden said, trying to find a way out of this mess.
"There is no time left, we need to deviate from our plans. Eden and I would go take the flower, while Lucas and Damien, you two should help Vin fight that totally disgusting creature" Ivan drew the entire plan on the dirt as he explained.
"Okay! Let's go!" Eden smiled, rushing to the rocks for some climbing exercises. As the flower stood at the extreme top.
Meanwhile, Lucas asked Vin who spinned, jumped, dodged, all to dodge the spider's attack after realizing the creature won't shake a muscle to fight them or spare them a glance, "Is there anything we should do to help?"
"Yes!," Vin answered, not looking tired or stressed from the continuous 'Escape from death' dodges. "Any of you happen to know how to create a huge puddle of water?"
"I do," Lucas raised his arm, signifying he had the ability, "My main power is to create water molecules from almost anything in nature, like green grasses, mak-"
"Would you just do it instead of ranting?" Damien screamed at the boy.
"Sure?"
Stretching his hand to some moss, he dragged out their life force, transforming it into a drop of water.
Before Damien could complain or say anything, he landed the drop of water on the ground, creating a great splash.
One which formed into a large stream.
"Thanks for that!" Vin told Lucas who smiled proudly.
Stepping into the water, Vin looked down at his reflection, "Hey, I'll need you"
"My Lord, your request" said his reflection, ready to help.
"Do you by chance know how to lift a part of your body into this world and grab that hideous spider?"
"Yes my Lord"
"Wait for real?"
"Yes my Lord, definitely." Before Vin could say another word, his reflection lifted its arm out from the water grabbing the spider by one of its legs.
With a pull, the spider entered into the reflection dimension, only to be devoured before Vin's sight.
"You eat spiders?" He asked his reflection who wiped a creamy substance off.
"I devour anything. But the content enters your stomach!"
"What! So technically, I ate a spider, whole and raw?"
"Yes you did!"
"Vin, who are you talking to?" Eden asked as they climbed down the pile of rocks.
"Nobody. Say, did you get the flower?" He quickly changed the topic.
"Yes!" Ivan replied with a smile, bringing out the beautiful flower.
"I can't believe we worked together to st-"
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" The Sudden loud words from Vin made the entire boys fall to the ground.
Immediately they did this, a blast occurred, an explosion which brought the cave walls down without crushing those in it.
Akio who was watching stood up, he knew this wasn't part of the test.
From the explosion, footsteps were heard. Then, a figure slowly formed from the smoke.
Coming closer, the figure took a visible form making Ivan hiss, "A Demon. Upper ranked A. He's an upper rank Demon."
"Oh, sorry for disrupting your training, but I think this is the end. For all of you," The demon said, pushing away his long red hair from his eyes. "I'll shred you all, I'll kill you mages in training. All of you!."
Hearing this, Vin frowned.
