'uh!' Shōgo groaned in pain as he struggled to stand up.
' I'm I going to die here? ' Shōgo finally stood up to face the hound.
'No,' Shōgo suddenly smiled.
'This is my only chance, father asked me to make him proud and that's what I'll do...' Shōgo then took a good look at the hound again.
'If I position myself well, the hound will make me crash in the direction of the weapons of those former warriors, let's give it a shot' Shōgo smirked.
"Hey hugie" Shōgo signalled at the hound.
"Wanna run?" Shōgo suddenly bent into a racing position.
"Let's go!" Shōgo suddenly dashed in the direction of the weapons and just as he predicted he was sent flying towards the weapons but this time with more injury.
'arrrgh!' Shōgo groaned and reached out for the sword and arms length away from his head. He then stood up and faced the hound.
'i only have little fighting experience but I'll try my best' Shōgo smiled and started to make his way towards the hound.
" It is either you die....Or I dieeee!!!!, arghhhhh! " Shōgo roared and aimeed his sword at the hound's head in a stabbing position however, he met thin air but he didn't seem shocked, instead he was puzzled.
' Something has changed about me, I can't put my finger on it and the pain, it's gone ' Shōgo suddenly frowned deeply.
Before Shōgo could figure out what was happening, he found his body sparking with immense thunder. He dropped his sword in fear but two hammers took it's place in each of his hands.
' what's happening to me, this hammers seem to weigh tons but they're like flexible wood as I hold them ' Shōgo thought as everything returned to normal, the hammers now looked normal, just noticeably big.
' Shit! ' Shōgo suddenly sensed danger and bent his torso backwards reflexively, he caught a glimpse of the hound's claws missing his head by only an inch, he then spun mid air as the thunder returned and swung his weapons at the hound's jaw simultaneously.
'booooom!' the hound crashed into the trees far away.
" This power, this is the so called arcana " Shōgo smiled and bent.
' woosh! '

" I wonder how Shōgo is doing " Mei mumbled as stared at a dead hound a few inches away from her while she held a chain bounded to a medium sized metal ball with obviously spiky tips.
" I can't wait to show him my arcana " She suddenly smiled and faded away.

Shōgo suddenly appeared in a pitch black room with a shining door, he approached it out of curiosity and appeared back at the hall.
" Pheew, I'm out of that mess, I guess I'm in, since I found my arcana " Shōgo breathed a sigh of relief.
" Shōgo!! " Mei suddenly ran into Shōgo's arms after exiting the door.
"I almost died in there" Mei sobbed.
" Me too, don't worry we won't part again" Shōgo chuckled.
" Congratulations on finding your arcanas.....Daemons.." The old man from earlier suddenly announced.
" This way" he gestured to the door on his right. Shōgo nodded and led Mei out.
* * *
Upon exiting the door, the sight Mei and Shōgo beheld was really one to behold.
"Woooow" Mei marvelled at what she saw.
" So this is Daemons city" Shōgo smiled as he looked at numerous tall buildings and different shops all over the street, it was a magnificent sight.
'Something's not right here, they all are exuding auras.. They're all cultivators, humans are not found here ' Shōgo looked puzzled.
" Hey there folks " Someone suddenly signaled from afar.
"Uhn?" Mei looked in the direction of the figure coming from afar, he was slim, he had this jovial aura around him, he had black hair, he wore the Daemons Academy uniform which was all white with the logo on the left side of the chest.
" Hi, I'm Higashi Senshi outer court third grade class five student. Nice to meet you" the figure announced and extended a handshake when he got closer to them.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Hikari Shōgo Andi don't know my class yet" Shōgo smiled and received his handshake.
" And I'm Kyōjū Mei also don't know my class yet" Mei answered.
" Uhh I see you just took your test. Well, new comers are always in third grade class five which is the lowest class, your performance in the academy is what will increase your ranks. Follow me, I'll take you to your dorms" Senshi explained and led them to their dorms while they followed suit.
* * *
After walking for minutes past countless shops and buildings, they finally came to a gate that said ' Outer Court Dormitory '.
" We're here " Senshi announced.
" Hmm " Shōgo smiled.
"Thanks" Shōgo smiled again. Senshi smiled and was about to leave.
"Hey I have two questions" Shōgo suddenly halted him.
"Oh what's that?" Senshi looked back puzzled.
"The first, are there any normal humans in this city?" Shōgo asked.
" Nope, they can't survive here " Senshi replied.
"Uhh I see, the second, where's our room exactly" Shōgo asked again.
"Oh!, just pick an empty room, every room has a tag either empty or occupied, when you find an empty one just turn the tag over to occupied and by the way, Mei has to go to the female dorms, its on the right,while our dorms are on the right" Senshi explained.
"Oh I see, I guess we part now Mei, I'll see you later" Shōgo smiled.
"Uhnn!!!!" Senshi suddenly exclaimed looking puzzled and mad.
"Don't you have emotions you idiot, how can you part with your sister like that, you could give a hug or cry for her, I was expecting to see a dramatic scene just now!!!!" Senshi complained.
"Uhhhrgh!, fine I'll escort you Mei" Shōgo proposed reluctantly.
After escorting Me to her dorm, Senshi and Shōgo went to the boys dorm. Shōgo chose his rooms beside Senshi's as it was empty.
