Blake shot up in horror, seeing the sudden notification.
'why now of all times'. He wondered.
'is this system trying to get me killed or something '?
He thought as his perception picked up subtle vibrations and roaring coming his direction.
'sh*t'!
Taking a quick look at his status panel,

*BOOM*
The ground violently quaked as Blake stomped his feet before blasting out towards the ongoing fight between Layla, Damian and Ron.
"Quick let's get out of here, a horde of beasts-"
"Quit your blabbing and come help us defeat this demon"!. Layla screamed blocking an attack with her water shield, before it violently exploded, sending her flying.
'well that was rude'. Blake thought with a faint trace of anger showing on his face.
"And then...there were...three"
Drake softly chuckled. The fury of the intense battle although palpable, was instantly shrugged off by Drake. The fight momentarily paused, as a furious roar Interrupted the fight.
"ROAR!!!!!"

Back in the academy, in a room full of individuals capable of levelling a country were seated, the tense atmosphere, was so palpable it could be felt by all.
"William, can you explain what is going on?". A man with long grey beard suddenly spoke. Shattering the once silent room.
With visible anixiety on his face, which was quite obvious by the creasing of his brows, William was contemplating answers.
How the hell was he supposed to explain a demon hiding in their midst. Sure they co-existed and all that, but there was a thin line. Everyone knew that at any point In time a war could spark. Igniting the flames of the visible friction between the two races.
But why would they act now?
That was Williams question.
Of course he had to answer now, as the schools Dean, he had a reputation to uphold and th-
"William?"
His thought process was cut short by the elderly man once more.
"Ah sorry, principal Chris; this was an unexpected variable that-"
"Unexpected!?" Suddenly an angry roar resounded, as a powerful aura swept across the room. The projector displaying the students, suddenly shattering with a crisp sound.
'A...A rank'. William visibly shuddered, as he struggled to endure the pressure. Being a peak C-rank himself, it was already a mystery how he was still standing. As bad as he looked, the principal was holding back, by a lot..
"Principal, please calm down"
A woman's voice resounded.
"Hmph"
The cold voice of the principal was heard as he retrieved his aura.
"Princess Zakira, he had better have a good explanation for this unnecessary mishap, and get someone to replace the project." Chris ordered as he sat back down.
Instantly relief washed over Williams face. As he began conjuring words to salvage the already terrible situation.
"Ah..pri.. principal Chris, the demon- I mean Drake, I...I...do not know what happe-". William instantly shut his mouth upon noticing the narrowed eyes of the principal.
"You did not notice a student who had such psychopathic behaviour?;and you're supposed to be the Dean of the school?" Another voice resounded as a subtle chuckle resounded.
"Indeed Assistant Dean Bryan has a point; I am starting to think that you are not viable for this position William, what is your defence..hmmm?"
Principal Chris suddenly said.
"It was mistake, a tiny slip in calculations! I swear, we never knew he had such psychopathic tendencies, we should have this Drake apprehended immedi-"
"Oh please, spare us the details William, regardless of whether or not Drake gave into his psycothic side, you are the Dean, hence the future pillars of either the Demon or Angel race. You have broken this boundary by allowing future pillars be endangered in a mission. I propose a trial regarding this issue" Principal Chris said.
Instantly the room fell silent, as everyone began to think about what the Principal had just said.
"Wh-what?, it was a mistake- no an accident, all that Is required is immediate Arrest and everything would be solved".
Princess Zakira suddenly responded. Acting in favour of William.
William's gaze suddenly rekindled, his face showing a rare trace of appreciation as he hoped deep within his case could be reconsidered.
"Indeed Princess Zakira is right,how about this, we cast a vote to let the trial proceed or not;All in the favour of William proceeding to the trial?"
Another voice resounded, as suddenly hands shot into the air
"1.2....3..4...5" that's already half of everyone here. It is decided then, from today hence forth William shall be stripped of his Dean title and shall henceforth be placed on house arrest, until the commencement of the trial".
"I am truly sorry, William" Princess Zakira said as she looked away.
She and another woman, were the only ones that didn't raise their hands excluding William.
"Guards!"
Instantly, a powerful aura swept past the room, as William suddenly disappeared.
But right before his disappearance, William's gaze swept across the room. His eyes locking briefly with Bryan as he noticed a red glint flash across his eye.

Back at the Desolate Zone, however:
"ROAR"!!!
"Well? What do we do now!"
Damain screamed!
"I fuc*ing told you lots to specifically get away from here; but noooo you just had to cut me off and engage in a losing battle".
"Run!!!!!!"
Ron shouted instantly covering himself with lightning and zooming off.
"I just love how you lots think, you can just agree on leaving, while ignoring my presence". A bone chilling sentence, froze everyone in place. As a violent aura spread out. Forcing everyone to their knees.
"No one leaves till I say otherwise".
He chuckled as he began gathering energy in his legs; suddenly shooting off in the direction where Ron zoomed off to.
"He's gone! Let's move! "
Blake said instantly activating his skill

[H.E: 1200/3000]
Instantly turning into a streak of light, Blake zoomed off passing Layla's body that has still not risen after the initial clash.
"Hey, wake up! Drake!, Drake's gone but he'll be coming back! Hey!" Blake shook her body. When he instantly noticed something.
'why is her body cold?'
[Its because she's dead, dumba*s, now get out of here]
The system instantly said.
"D-dead?" From just one serious hit? She died?
Oh hell no!
At this point it was already quite obvious that Drake had been taking it relatively easy on them all this while. He could have finished them off long ago.
"Gotta get out of here..hey Damian!"
"Huh? Damian?"
Blake turned his head, searching for his temporary 'team mate'. But he was no where to be found.
"Ahhhh!" A loud scream revebrated in the distance, as abody was seen flying towards Blake at an insane speed.
*THUD*
A body fell limply on the ground, as the body tuened over..
"Damian?"
"Damian!!"
"Fuck! He's dead too?". Blake assumed the worst. But soon noticed the faint sign of breathing coming from Damian's hody. 'Alright, unconscious but not dead'. 'That's good at least I can take him'. Blake thought as he grabbed Damian carrying him on his shoulder, the weight seemingly heavy for d previous him, was now somewhat manageable with his current strength.
*BOOM*!!!
Another body flew over, as Blake saw another body flying at him at uncontrollable speed.
'sh*t'
The body collided with a rock nearby, albeit still continuing motion, from the residual momentum.
"Ah...that's the last of them". A voice echoed. With Blake turning, to see Drake.
'wait, if thats Drake, then isn't that....Ron?'.
Blake face instantly turned pale with fright.

[H.E:1000/3000]
Just like that, his Holy Energy had dropped to a third of his reserves.
Instantly turning into a streak of light he was off.
"Try to run again?" Drake laughed.
"Oh I like when they run;sadly I have no time to play with you. You are too weak for me".
Instantly performing hand signs in a fluid motion, in quick succession, the water aura around Drake grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, Drake Snapped his eyes open. His eyes glowing a fierce blue light.
