Chapter 7 - Out of control

After Kil was done eating his meat, he stood up from his seat but Ana grabbed his hands.

"Hey, where are you going?" Kol sighed and looked at Ana with an annoyed face.

"I'm going to my class." Suddenly, a tentacle wrapped around her face and the voice came back again.

"She is so annoying, isn't she? Just wrap your tentacle around her neck and... Snap her neck like a twig." Kol then suddenly returns to reality with Ana being perfectly fine.

"hah... You should not be friends with me from now on. It's not like I hate you but..." Kol thought about the voice again and continued saying "I'm not a stable person in a sense."

"It's fine, I have an anger issue too." She gave Kil a hearty smile and Kol only nodded back.

"Can you let go of my hands now?" She only realizes that she has been holding Kol's arm this entire time and lets go of Kol's hand.

"Thanks." Kol put the tray away before leaving her to go to his classes. He is still waiting for Rom to contact him.

Kol then went inside the class he should have been in and took the sit at the back. The classroom slowly started to fill up and Kol stared at the outside of the window.

There are combat classes, magic classes, and divination classes. Most of the students are assigned one or two of the classes above they are graded by the entrance exam to see if they are fit for the class.

"C'mon, isn't class boring? Why don't you just make a mess instead?" Suddenly, a tentacle appeared at started stabbing at the students around him. However, he then returns to reality where nothing has happened.

'Can you stop bothering me?' There was no answer coming back to Kol and Kol released a deep sigh.

"Sigh... Class is so boring." the teacher then came inside the room. The man looked to be in his 40s as he held a book in his hands.

"Hello, class. Today, we will learn about mana." Kol looked at the teacher and was curious to see the so-called mana.

"You can call me teacher Raika and everyone, try to show your mana. I will look at the level of your control." One by one Raika went and looked at each mana. Some were good and some were bad. 

When he came to Kol, Kol didn't have any mana out, and not like he ever had one.

"Where's your mana?" Raika asks Kol as Raika still holds the book in his hands. The book was completely in black.

"Here." Kol let out some of his chaotic energy out of his hands. He had released only the size of his finger and this allowed him to control it better.

Raika stared at the dark ball swimming chaotically in the air. "Your mana sure is interesting..."

The chaotic energy started to swirl faster and tried to latch onto Raika but Kol was fast enough to put back inside of his body.

The chaotic energy slowly calms down and looks at Raika. "You see, my mana is unstable so I don't use it a lot"

"Yeah, I guess so" Raika then walked away to check on the other student Mana and Kol went back to sit.

"Bored? How about we make this class dyed in red?" The voice let out a loud laugh inside of Kol's head and he ignored the voice like he usually would.

"Since everyone knew how to use mana, how about I show you a simple trick?" Everyone watches Raika's hands. Suddenly, a small fireball starts to appear out of his hands.

"You see, we as a magician can do no incantation but that would only release a small amount of mana. Incantation follow us magician to release a large amount of mana from our core. Watch" Raika started to say an incantation about 20 words long and a fireball as large as Raika's head appeared.

"The key to incantation is imagination," Raika said as Kol looked over at what Raika just said.

"Imagination?..." Kol mumbled as the voice started to appear again in his head.

"It's not imagination, the only way to control chaotic energy is desire." The voice then disappeared and Kol questioned the voice many times but no questions were answered.

'Desires huh...' Kol tried to use his chaotic energy again and suddenly, the voice came back again inside of his mind.

"Try to imagine this class dyed in red. It will be fun!" the voice started growing a dozen as Kol was affected by this making his chaotic energy release an aura that made all of the students there tremble.

The chaotic energy starts growing bigger and bigger with Kol's face frustrated. Someone rushes into the classroom and tries to suppress Kol's chaotic energy. That's someone who is Xyrus.

"Kol, wake up!" Xyrus's voice returned Kol to reality and he just noticed his chaotic energy was so big that even Xyrus had trouble trying to suppress it.

"See, let's make this classroom red!"

"Blood!"

"Let yourself go!"

Many voices speak inside Kol's head making it hard to concentrate on Xyrus's voice. Slowly, Kol pulled the chaotic energy inside of his body but the chaotic energy started destroying Kol's body from the inside.

"Hungry..." Kol then passed from exhaustion from using too much chaotic energy and feeling hungry.

Cyrus immediately grabs Kol's body from failing and pats his back. "Raiku, can you tell me what just happened to this boy," Raiku tells Xyrus that he didn't know anything.

...

Kol opened his eyes again and he started to become hungry. His eyes darted around the room until he saw Rom in the corner of the room. Tentacle started growing from Kol back and ruah for Rom.

Rom only stared at Kol with a happy face and said. "Eat up well" He then threw the corpse of a demon to the tentacle Kol had.

The tentacle thegrabsab onto the demon crops aggressively and Kol starts to eat it. After 10 minutes, Kol was not hungry anymore.

"Ugh, what happened... Rom?" Kol finally notices Rom. in the corner of the room and the system message again.

[You gain 1 point in strength for eating another demon meat (1/50)]

"I'll tell you later but can you keep being under control for another month?" Rom walks closer to Kols's bed.

"I can if I get to eat some demon meat. Also, I think I want to make myself more resistant to this feeling of trying to eat demon meat otherwise I can go out of control again." Kol kid as he doesn't feel hungry anymore.

"Also, where did you find that demon corpse?" Kol doesn't feel disgusted anymore about eating demons because he knew he had to eat one just to survive.

"I'll kill it a long time ago but I kept it in my storage ring." Rom handed out his hand and there was a silver ring on his middle fingers.

"Now let's start the plan next month but you need to get stronger." Rom said with a smile.
