Late Afteroon (Wed) Spring 3 Year 1
Parking lot, Middle section, Neocademy.
-----------------------------------------
With no more classes to attend to, Rhen parks his in the parking lot near the exit of the campus.
His phone rang alerting him that Azrel's class is about to end class is about to end. With nothing else to do, Rhen loiters around park, taking in the scenic view of the academy.
Despite its flaws, the school had an undeniable air of prestige. With a sprawling park stretching out before him and meticulously landscaped gardens lining the walkway, Rhen couldn't help but marvel at the place.
He pull's up his phone and check the Cat girl's character sheets, unfortunately he can't check the nerdy girl's stats for he does not know her full name nor got to know her better.

-----------------------------------------
Rhen's finely tuned senses alerted him to a sudden commotion erupting on the far end of the park. He instinctively turned his head towards the source of the noise.
"Ack! Enough, we give up, we give up." A student raises his hands while on the ground, battered and bruised. He tried to resist the bullies along with his group of friends only to be defeated instantly.
"Fucking! weaklings, and you. Don't just stand there, hand over your protection fees!" Gori hits another student, knocking him to the ground.
Together with Gori is a blonde-haired Demon, he stands tall and mighty with arms crossed and red wings wide open. His crew of delinquents is with him, all armed with blunt weapons like brass knuckles and baseball bats.
The blonde-haired demon opens his mouth before announcing with an intimidating voice.
"Remember this! This is the Dragon clan's territory! All of you will pay protection fees if you want to live." He kicks the downed schoolboy in the stomach forcing him to puke.
"Ack! P-please stop it." The boy said weakly, raising his arms in a bid to protect himself.
The demon kicks again and send the boy hurtling across the park, slamming into the wall. The demon's face twisted into a cruel grin as he reveled in delight at inflicting pain on the downed students.
Gori notices his boss getting a bit to agressive and approaches him.
"B-boss, we should stop this, or else he's going to die."
"Don't talk back to me Gori! I heard you've lost to that transfer student. You of all people know what happens to officers who can't even deal with one student."
The boss punches Gori in his gut, and in one strike, he manages to down Gori who towers over him.
"Ugghhh!! Sorry boss." Gori grits his teeth and moves back behind his boss's.
"Good, now don't fuck this up. We need more, but once we pay that bastard, I can join the Knights of Cromwell without lifting a finger, Hahaha!" The demon cackled with delight.
Rhen sat there questioning the demon's intentions.
"(Man, I wonder what that guy took for wanting to join Iris's fan club that badly.)"
He remembers Iris's whip, maybe there really are some people with that kind of fetish he thought.
After taking the money from the downed students, the disciplinary committee arrived late into the fray.
Leading them is a blonde-haired petite High Elf with twin tails, just like Mia, she is as flat as a stick. A giant chubby Human boy with a round belly stands behind her, his eyes looks as if they're two straight lines drawn across his face, for some odd reason he can perfectly navigate his way about without hitting anything.
Sensing a battle is about to commence, Rhen quickly grabs some chips from a nearby vending machine and watched intently.
The petite High Elf points at the demon. "Stop right there Dragon clan, it's about time you end your bullying. Noah use your Quicksand skill quick!"
Without warning the petite High elf gives an order, it looks like she's the type to attack first, ask questions later kind of gal, whether this was on purpose or her personality remains to be seen.
"She should've just given the order without alerting the enemy! I'll give it four points out of ten." Rhen shakes his head in dismay, commenting on the subpar performance of the disciplinary committee.
"Huuuu!" Noah, the Human boy grunts, he uses his Earth elemental skill Quicksand to hold the bullies in place.
The bullies screamed as they got trapped in the quicksand. However, some bullies managed to slip away including Gori and the demon.
"You think you can stop me with your pathetic skills? I'm the leader of the Dragon clan and future Knight of the Knights of Cromwell." Said the demon.
"Oh! The mandatory smack talk! I hope he doesn't rabble about his entire past or else I'll throw peanuts at him." Rhen remarked, he eats another chip as he watches the fight.
"What you're doing is wrong! You're bullying the weak." Said the petite High elf.
"It's their fault because they are weak! Do you know how much time and effort I put to be in this position? I won't let weaklings take advantage of me." The blond-haired Demon raised his hand, a frozen chill wraps around his hands before he unleashes a powerful spell.
"Icicle Storm!"
The disciplinary committee is bombarded with Ice spikes. Noah summoned rocks around himself to defend the petite High elf and a handful of his members.
"Kyaah!"
They all hunkered down, but unfortunately, most of his other team members got hit.
When the storm is over, Noah releases his spell only to see two-thirds of his comrades writhing on the ground.
"Madame Mabel, we can't defeat him like this, we need Scarlet." Said Noah.
"We don't need her! She may be a half-fairy, but she's not a Hig Elf." Mabel the petite High elf grits her teeth, her pride as a High Elf noble couldn't let someone like a mixed race take the crown as the strongest student in Neocademy.
"Fairy? So that's what she's using as a cover." Rhen always wondered if Scarlet is hiding her strength in school since Humans or mixed race are still magically weaker than High Elves, and he now got his answer.
A random Ice spike falls down on him from above, but with a flick of a finger, he destroys it in an instant and continues his snack.
Mabel raised her staff and began to chant in a low, melodic voice, her words weaving together to form a powerful spell. Suddenly, a fierce flame erupted from her body, engulfing her in a fiery aura.
With a fierce determination in her eyes, she yelled. "Fire Blast!"
Mabel swung her staff and summoned a massive inferno that inferno roared and crackled through the air, hurtling towards the blonde-haired demon.
Noah at the same time also used his earth ability to rescue the downed people near the demon. He encloses them in rock and dirt else they will get caught in the blast.
*Bang!*
The Fire blast hits the blonde-haired demon head on and a explosion rocked the earth beneath alerting everyone in the vicinity.
After the dust has settled, Mabel quint's her eyes only to see the blonde-haired demon with his hands raised, unscathed behind a barrier alongside his gang.
"Like I said, pathetic!" The demon grinned pathetically as he sneers at Mabel and her crew.
"Tsk!" Mabel clicked her tongue, lobbing a few more fireballs at the demon while he tanks every spell she could throw at him.
As the battle raged on, the demon could feel his heart pounding in his chest, the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. Until finally, he decided it was time to end the fight.
He slammed his hands onto the ground. As he did so, a sudden surge of energy coursed through his body, and a brilliant magic circle materialized before him.
"Fire Golem!" He lets out a deafening roar, as if summoned by his call, a three-story-high Fire golem materialized before him.
The Fire golem towered over the disciplinary committee, its molten body radiated with intense heat and sizzled as it moved, leaving a trail of smoldering embers in its wake.
The Fire golem roared sending shockwaves throughout the area. Mabel is stunned at what she saw, not only her enemy is a dual attribute, but a polarizing one at that.
Her knees quiver and shake upon getting hit by the roar causing her to be in a state of Fear.
"Y-you're a dual elemental!?" For as long as she could remember, Mabel had dedicated herself to the limit, honing her skills day in and day out just to become an A-rank hunter. As she looked at the demon, her heart sank at the sight of someone else outshining her, especially from someone who is not a High Elf.
"Dual elemental?" The demon grins, he raised opens his palms and four balls of light appear, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. "I'm a quadra." He said with a sense of pride, belittling the puny HIgh Elf before him.
Over at a distance, Rhen is shaking the empty bag of chips, trying to get as much value from it before commenting on the battle. " Man, what's with these guys, stop announcing your attacks. But that demon is something, quadra's are rare though, but I want to know how proficient he is at using them."
"Kill them all!" Yelled the Demon.
The Fire golem lunges at the disciplinary committee. It raised its arms poised to strike.
Noah gets ready to block it with an earthen wall, but compared to the size of his wall and the golem, he's unsure if it will hold.
Everyone in the disciplinary committee held their breaths and waited for the inevitable, but it didn't come. The only thing they heard is a bang from behind their cover before a shockwave washes over their bodies.
*Crash!*
Something appeared in the sky, like a bullet, and it slams into the Firee golem annihilating it into molted boulders. In the middle is Azrel with his fists in the middle of a crater.
Scarlet comes running in as well, she stands before Mabel and the Demon.
"Enough! What's the meaning of this?" She yelled.
"He's bullying the students!" Replied Mabel.
"Bullying!? It was protection fees." The demon retorted, shrugging his hands making light of the situation.
"Protecting them from what!?" His answer angers Mabel, she raises her staff at the demon but is stopped by Scarlet.
"Protecting them from harm of course, hahaha."
"Enough!" Yelled Scarlet, she then turned towards the Demon. "You hand give what you stole back to the students or else." She glared at the Demon, looking at him straight in the eye.
"Or else what?" The Demon grins. "(Oh, you can't harm me number one, I can have you expelled in an instant and you know it.)" He thought. He knows he has someone with power backing him as long as he pays up.
Scarlet's face grimaced if she gets expelled now, the past three years she spent toiling for her grades will be all for naught.
Azrel saw his girlfriend's distressed gesture and walks toward the demon, and glares at him in the eye.
"What are you looking at pretty boy?"
In an instant, Azrel tore a hole in the Demon's barrier using only his strength and lifts him up by his shirt.
"!!" Startled, the Demon's eyes widen. He didn't expect a mere Human could tear through an A-rank barrier with nothing but his hands.
"(That was an A-Rank barrier, and he just punched through it!?)" He yelled in his mind.
"Or else, I'll I might not control my strength If you catch my drift." Azrel replied then throws him on the ground like a rag doll, then points at Gori.
"You get the money he stole and give it back to the students."
Gori's face is pale in fear, he knows firsthand how Azrel fights.
"Y-yes sir!"
With the money safely back in the hands of the students, the demon and his gang quietly left the scene before things escalate.
"(That fool, I'll make him pay for belittling me, just you wait.)" He furrowed his brow, clenching his fists as he dwelled on the memory of Azrel humiliating him in front of everyone.
The demon notices someone coming toward him, it's a black-haired student. He has a cheerful smile on his face without a care in the world. He remembers an S.O.S signal given to him by his underlings and never thought he'd meet him at this place.
After being put to shame by Azrel, the demon is itching for a fight, something that can redeem himself and no better way to do it but by beating the crap out of this student.
Yet, the moment he showed malice and intent, the black-haired student gave of a sinister vibe. The demon stops to look at his comrade Gori shaking in a fetal position.
"N-no more. No more." Gori whimpered.
"What the fuck." The demon muttered, he clenches his fists and glared at the black-haired man. As soon as the demon blinked, the man disappeared right before his eyes.
Beside him, he felt a hand touch his shoulders and an insane amount of bloodlust wash over him causing him to sweat in fear.
"Don't even think about it." The black-haired man said with a sly smile.
Rhen leaves the bullies alone for now, he dislikes unnecessary bloodshed since it's hard to do a cover-up.
"Yo!" He greeted his brother with raised hands.
"Enjoying your snack?" Azrel replied
"Yup. I even got to watch a B-rated action movie, I'll give it 4 out of 10. The villain was so cliche, but at least he didn't have a lengthy speech about his back story."
The demon could hear Rhen mockingly joke about him, he wanted to beat him up badly, but his survival instincts tell him that, that man is dangerous.
"Tsk!" He clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Let's go." After giving the command, He left with his gang to find another set of targets.
Scarlet joins in the conversation. "Wow, that's amazing Rhen." Scarlets clap her hands half-heartedly. "I suppose you never thought about interfering before things got out of hand."
"Nah, I'm good. I'm a pacifist at heart, and besides, I kinda promised a pretty girl that I'll play nice, didn't you remember?"
Scarlet can only sigh and shake her head in response. "I hate you."
"I know." Rhen gave her a sly smile before turning to Azrel.
Rhen takes out his phone and shows his brother what he saw yesterday.
"If you have some time, I think this warehouse is a good place to start."
Azrel takes it and analyzes the whole video thoroughly until something catches his eye and points to the dark-haired man on the corner handing out Etherite.
"I know this guy, his code name is Grim. Ten years ago, he used to be a doctor at a children's hospital way back then. Unfortunately, his daughter got diagnosed with cancer. He took a massive loan from some gang to pay for the medical bills. We tried tracking once he tried to pay for his debts by selling Etherite out on the streets. Long story short, his daughter never made it and he and his wife got divorced after he is unable to pay the debts. After that, he fled to another country never to be seen again."
Azrel switches off the phone and gives it back to Rhen.
"I never thought, I'll meet him here in Neotopia, it's a small world I guess." Azrel breathes a deep sigh, he knows Grim was just doing it for his daughter, but in the end, Grim also placed many lives at risk by having them hooked on Etherite.
Though tragic, Rhen only cares about what intel Grim's got in his head.
"Look brother, I don't care what he's done. I'll bag him tonight and interrogate him afterward. You can join in for the fun if you want." Rhen's tone is serious, Azrel knows what his brother is capable of and stops him.
"I think I got a better idea, we don't know if he knows Wraith's location, but it's possible he can lead us to Wraith or he'll lead us to someone who has better intel. For now, well keep watch, I'll also need some backup for an operation as big as this."
Rhen gives it some thought. While his solution will lead to finding Wraith faster, it has some risks while Azrel may have a more methodical approach, it will take some time.
"Hmm... Point taken. Alright detective, I'll keep my fangs to myself for now. You're the pro on this stuff, but once I see Wraith, he's dead."
"Trust me on this one, but I'll have to contact chief," Azrel assures Rhen everything will be alright.
With all that said, Rhen agreed to his suggestion.
Scarlet notices the two brothers having a serious conversation. She wishes to join in on the conversation, but her confidence wavers as she realizes her area of expertise isn't up to par with theirs and didn't but in.
"(Hmmm... I wonder what they're talking about?)" She thought.
It was only when Azrel walks up to her and said it was time to go home that she approach them.
With nothing else left to do in school, the trio heads home to discuss future plans.
