The Great Demon System

Lisvern's eyes almost popped out of his head as soon as he witnessed that blade that was supposed to be an illusion now stabbing him through the chest.

His body immediately felt weak as he went down on one knee, facing the demonic figure gazing at him like he was nothing but a simple insect…

That man… That man had just single-handedly ruined his life… Everything that he had built up so far for nothing, and to him, it seemed like no big deal. What was an assured, easy victory in his eyes suddenly turned into his worst nightmare as the sword was pulled out of his chest, making him drop like a corpse on the ground.

"And the winner is Moby Kane!"

Moby took a deep breath and smiled hearing those words, dispersing all the clones with a single snap, looking up at the crowd.

Most of them sat there beyond stunned, their jaws unconsciously open. However, there were still some of them cheering and clapping, especially this one orange-haired man who seemed most ecstatic of all.

"Now! As per the agreement! Lisvern Beru, you shall be expelled from this academy with shame! Leave class now! Go back to your dorms, pack your stuff because I will be sending a staff member to come and get you later today! Understood?" The professor's words were only met by the mad whimpering of the injured man below, a waterfall of tears falling down his face as he had forgone any sense of dignity, his life was over anyways, so what was the point? He was nothing but a broken ugly shell that awaited death. It was truly an unsightly scene.

"And, as for you all! Take this as a lesson! Don't judge a book by it's cover! Not only would you be killed in a mission so fast with that concept, but you will also lose your dignity and curse yourself for doing it! Never underestimate your enemy! Kane might have an incomplete spirit mode, but it already surpasses many of the completed ones! Such is its power! Don't let arrogance overcome your judgement!"

Seemingly, the crowd did not react to the teacher's words, but that was due to them taking in that Moby was this powerful and had yet to even complete his spirit mode… His incomplete spirit mode was comparable to a normal one, so how powerful would he become once it was completed?

There was no longer any signs of mockery to be seen. Indeed, without a doubt, he was worthy of his student status.

Moby deeply sighed looking at the crowd before smiling, sheathing his blade and dispelling his spirit mode, looking at the notification in front of him.

[ Level Up! ]

It had been too long since he had seen such a notification, leveling had gotten nearly impossible these days for him.

Indeed, before the fight had begun, he knew he was going to win, he was more than certain by professor Zave's eyes.

In the fight, Moby barely even tried, the wounds that he got were self inflicted, just to test out how his new strategy worked against the common foe. If he had the use of all of his powers, killing him would have been no differant from killing a defenceless child. Yet, he wanted to keep as much of his powers a secret.

He had already shown his demon energy cloning technique on television before when he had no idea he was being recorded and he did not want to reveal anything else. Simply, all he did was mark his clones with a teleportation seal, and as soon as one of the clones was going to strike, he switched places with him— his spirit mode allowed him far greater control over his powers so it was more than possible.

He could have easily ended it after his first clone had made it past, but he wanted to test the perception of the crowd and the stupidity of his opponent. And, from the looks of it, non-of them realized what had happened. It was truely a good test. If that person was around the strength of the average student, he felt very comfortable.

"Thank you so much professor! You're truely too kind! I don't deserve such praise!" He wanted to assign his stat points, but not when all eyes were on him.

"Oh, it was the least I could do!" He nodded with a smile before continuing. "One second everyone, class will be on hold until I take care of this sorry excuse for an elite school student crying and drooling on the floor! In the meantime, you can enjoy some free time!"

For the next few minutes, professor Zave spent his time on the phone, most likely contacting the main office while the rest of the students were left to wonder around. Immediately, many of them flocked towards the still crying Lisverm taking pictures secretly and looking at him like some exotic animal. Yet, they did not mock him for his weakness, because god knows how they would have ended up in his position.

And, the rest of them ended up around Moby, who was sitting on a bench drinking some water. They were not like his fanclub he was used to, they were more like actually curious people, and people trying to be friendly seeing his true potential, which was oddly like a breath of fresh air. Yet, it still annoyed him that he was not able to assign his stat points.

"So! What's your spirit animal? Do you know? I wasn't expecting a fight like that! How did you get so powerful? If it's all a secret then you don't have to answer." A female student asked, devoid of the lustful womanly gazes he always saw.

"I don't really know to be honest… Maybe it's a dragon?" He asked to test the waters, maybe these elite kids knew more than he did so he tried to bait out answers.

"Hahahaha! Good one! Dragons are just fairytales! It's quiet sad… When magical beasts were discovered, so many people were looking forward to possible dragons, but that never happened!"

Moby inwardly sighed, they knew nothing new.

"You know… They might not be fairytales though… My grandfather said he saw a dragon once…" A small, rather shy purple haired girl spoke, which made Moby's eyes grow wide.

"Wait! Really! I'm such a big fan of dragons! They're real!?"

"..."

"I don't know… My grandfather's dead… This is only a family story, I don't mind sharing it…"

"sixty years ago, patrolling at the very edge of our galaxy, he reported finding or triggering a massive glow in the distance. And, in that glow was a certain, dull, rocky planet. But, when he landed on it, as if the full rocks were a mirage, they turned into the most marvellous crystals he had ever seen."

"According to him, it was very beautiful and the ores would have been sold for a fortune. He landed on that planet and began looking around. All the crystals were white and purple, filled with mystery. He was around the strength of a general in the military, but even he said the power he was sensing on that planet wanted to make him quote: dirty my pants and get the fuck out of there,' But, for the sake of curiosity, he went on. And, that's all I know of him… Before he died, he sent a transmission all the way back to earth that said "D-dragon" before he was finally no more…"

Moby was at the edge of his seat listening to her story, unlike some people standing around him that took it all as a joke.

"And, where exactly is that planet?"

"..."

"I really don't know now, things might have changed… It was sixty years ago when technology wasn't as advanced now. When the military sent a retrieval team for my grandfather they never returned so the military ruled it as undetermined. To warp someone to that area was very costly, so they could not afford another mission. And, now, that area is firmly deep into shalker territory, so we can't explore there even if we wanted to."

"And what exactly are the coordinates of this place!? How haven't I heard about this!?"

"Wow, you must really be into dragons huh?" She smiled. "Well, you're an elite school student are you not? You should now be able to do your own research on this topic. For people who possess the rank, the coordinates are no secret. But, I wouldn't get your hopes up, the shalkers might have done something about it by now."

"I, see… Thank you for the information!"

"No problem," She slowly nodded back.

The information was useful, the possibilities of that planet seemed endless yet there was not much he could do to find out about it. Yet, this also made him wonder what other things he was now authorized to access...

Currently, Moby was at level 98, and he needed some way to reach level 100.

If more people challenged him to spar, there was really no problem. It served both as good training and as a good source of XP. He doubted he would be able to go hunting anytime soon and defeating elites seemed to be his only way, which did give him a fair amount of XP. For now, killing for XP was strictly off the table.

"Okay class! Things have been dealt with and we can finally go back to showing me your spirit modes! After we are done with this, we will be reviewing some of the fundamentals you've learned last year to refresh your memories! Then, there will be lunch for an hour, and you will come back to class for the lecture! If you have not taken any extra classes, then tomorrow will be a day off for you! Understood!?"

"Yes sir! Understood!"

"Line back up and await your name to be called!"

"Yes sir!"

And, in the midst of the crowd, Moby finally had the spotlight off his face, and had time to assign his stats.
