"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Edward Thompson and I am going to be your combat teacher. Before the lesson starts, give me a brief introduction of yourselves. Let's start with you! What is your name son?" Edward asked pointing towards a random boy.
"Da-Dan Richards, sir!" replied the kid.
"Why are you shuttering Danny? Are you scared?" Edward asked gently to which the boy shaked his head.
"Oh come on, Danny! No need to be shy..." Edward slowly walked towards the kid before sitting down on one knee, "Anyone who isn't scared in this room is a moron and you aren't one of them. Being scared is a good thing, it keeps you going always remember that, be scared!"
"Now then you are next what's your name?" Edward kept asking everyone for their names while also taking a small introduction of their origins.
Edward was a gentle giant, he shared similar personalities to the Allens. He was a man who lost all his friends in the war, demons killed his friends and took over their bodies just to torture him. However, that didn't change him it changed his ways. After returning from the red zones he tried to remember the names of every students he has met to carry on their hopes and dreams on his shoulders.
People like him are extremely rare nowadays where every one looks out for themselves, he is just like Nolan. They save people without a reason.
The class started after three hours, only after Edward made sure that he knew each of his students names, although he wasn't supposed to do that he did it anyways. Each class is only supposed to be an hour long but he took a special permission from the headmasters since he knew how many students die on the first day.
It hurt him to watch the students die but he couldn't do anything about it, it was his job to let it happen... It was the process of elemination where only the best come out of the academy alive.
"Now then, I shall start the first elemination procedure since the introductions are over," Edward announced. "This wooden box contains a normal demon, I will release him in this room and all you need to do is defeat it. You all will work as a team, a single team. No divisions, think of yourselves as soldiers in a battlefield. Do what it takes to defeat the demon."
As Edward said those words, he got further away from the group. He then turned around and tapped something on his wrist watch as the wooden box started to shake.
Crack
The box started to crack open revealing black smoke oozing out of it.
"Wally scan everyone's vitals each second," I ordered as quietly as possible.
These kids might know what demons are and how to face them but they surely don't know how to find them. When the demons were first introduced in this story during the elemination procedure, it scared the students so much that seventy six of them went into trauma, thirty students suffered incurable flesh wounds and five students died on spot.
However, this time I can't let that happen.
As the wooden box started to crack more the black smoke spread across the room making everyone unable to see what's going on.
Arghhh... Sto-Arghhh... No... Ahhhhhhhh
When all of a sudden a loud sceam filled the room in terror. The scream echoed thoughout the room as if it was coming from every corner of the room.
As the smoke started to fade, one of the kids was lying on the ground with blood splattered across the floor and his clothes, he was hit by something in his guts. Everyone standing beside him had already backed away a few steps.
All the crowd surrounding the kid were pointing their fingers at a certain child who stood among them as they slowly backed away. The kid had blue hair and golden eyes, he was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
"He-He is the demon!" someone cried.
"I-I felt it! He was standing beside me! I felt him hit that guy!" someone else joined in.
"No I didn't! We were all inside a black smoke how would you know who hit him? I am as confused as you are!" The blue haired guy tried to defend himself.
Crackle
In a blink of an eye Samuel appeared before the blue haired kid to try and calm the situation.
"Hey listen, the demon is trying to split us apart, it could be anyone of us here. We need to figure this out slowly, so calm down first," Samuel said, trying to calm down the crowd.
Crackle
"Move away from him Samuel," I ran in front of Samuel, pulling him back away from the blue haired guy.
"What are you doing? These people are accusing him when we don't even know where the demon went! Instead of thinking about this rationally you are joining them?!" Samuel shouted at me.
"I am trying to save you here, that guy doesn't have any emotions! Look at him! In a time where everyone should be scared or atleast sweating, he doesn't show any such signs. He can't fake something he doesn't have anymore! They need time to adapt to a new body which means we still have time to do something-" before I could finish my words, I saw a beam of light headed towards the crowd and without thinking for a moment I jumped in front of it.
Crackle
The beam of light pushed my into the crowd of people as I knocked down whoever was in the path.
Boom
When I finally stopped moving, I realised that I had dented the metal layer of the wall.
What a shot! That was so worth it!

'Ryuk what do you think is the most efficient way to make people change their opinions about you?' I asked.
"Saving the crowd?" Ryuk asked back.
'Oh no, that's old fashioned. The answer would be trying to save the crowd even if it meant sacrificing yourself,' I replied, smiling in my mind.
"You freaky... That demon wants to kill you it ain't a plaything that can't hurt you. You will die if you do something crazy," Ryuk complained.
'Who said it is going to hurt me?' I asked. 'I programmed a danger sensor in my suit it will automatically cover the part of my body where I am going to take any damage. It was also enhanced by my 'Mother'. So you get the picture.'

"Aw... Look at him, all the way back there trying to stand up, do you have anything else to say? Hm? I don't think you do. It's such a shame talents like him die fast you know? What can we do about it? Now then who's next?" The blue haired kid's eyes slowly turned pitch black as he revealed his true self to the crowd.
The only way to kill a demon is to kill the host or exorcise him out of the body of it's host and send them back to hell. In the first case the demon would cease to exist whereas in the second case the demon would simply be sent back in hell.
And the fun part about the second option is... You can record exorcism chanting and play it in front of a demon and it would still work.
"Wally, play it!" I shouted.
