《Devour》Chapter 2: Hell School
Advertisement
Five years later
Mrs. De Vil started crying and said, "He grew up so fast and leaving me alone with these four eyes," slowly wiping her tears while Mr. De Vil looks at his wife, confused why all the blame always falls on him.
"You're overacting again, Ma," Mr. De Vil and Jio said at the same forgetting how she reacts.
"Overacting!?" Mrs. De Vil let out as her face starts to darken, and her eyes begin to glow with rage.
Jio remembers that Mr. De Vil told him about girls that no matter how right you are, you better say sorry right away to that girl and say you didn't mean to be right but word it differently to live another day.
"Ma, you said it yourself that Hell School is the best school for me, and it will help me in the future," Jio immediately says in his defense, dodging his mother's rage.
"You better call us whenever you *sobbing* you have time," Mrs. De Vil said as Jio nods.
Mr. And Mrs. De Vil say a few more words before saying goodbye and letting Jio take his first step to independence. It will take Jio three days to travel from Cauayan City to San Mariano, a small city due to the school owning half of the land for study and fighting purposes.
Hell School is the 3rd best school for any magicians and warriors in the country and could be the 1st; however, the school only takes the best of the best to enroll. Rumors say that the top ten students are monsters in terms of fighting capabilities. The School ranking is based on the number of experts that the school produced each year; this lowers the Hell School's average, but with a hundred percent rate, would each student become a successful fighter.

Jio arrives at the address after a long three-day ride that Mr. De Vil provided, fifteen minutes away from the school and ten minutes away from the city's general area. He unpacks everything and notices a fist-size pouch and a ring that emits a strange aura with a note saying:
***
*People called this pouch the "Universal bag" it consists of void magic, and this gift can hold up to one hundred and twenty-five cubic meters while the ring can hold twice the universal bag but be mindful that some people would kill for this rare treasure*
- Pa
*Inside the ring, you have few magical stones, and I know you know the basics already; also, the space rock that we won in the auction can be forge into a weapon, so just talk to Old Fang about it. I already send him a letter and request to forges any weapon you like, so pay a visit and show him the token we place in the ring. Also, give the letter in the ring to the principal, and he will guide you*
-Ma
Love,
Ma and pa

In the school's front gate, a weird energy field surrounding the school with no sign of getting weaker. Jio remembers that this is the 1st test given to anyone who wants to be a student in the school. The magician can easily open this while warrior type would think of something else, and they don't need to worry since someone is monitoring the gate to ensure the safety of everyone who would try to take the test. Jio walks through the gate without breaking a sweat that makes the teacher on duty dumbfound.
Jio uses the rarest stone, which is called the "Black Magic Stone" in the gate. The stone is black and works like a rechargeable battery; it needs a magic source and stores it inside for a few minutes and immediately releases it, or it will explode. Only those who have guts and great control use this type of stone for special occasions.

Magicians can control any magic or energy around them to protect them from danger or attack their enemies, but they need to use a magic stone as a source of magic or power.
The basic of magic is how a person can efficiently and comfortably control magic around them, which also tells what rank they fall into and check their progress.
Only those high ranking can gather enough energy from the air or the surrounding area as a source of magic since the power of nature can not be harness that easily.
Jio stops walking and looks at the school map trying to find the principal's office, and heard some shouting in the distance, "Hey you! Are you supposed to be in class right now?"
"Sorry to disturb you, sir, but can I ask where can I find the principal's office cause I just get here?" Jio respectfully asks
"Well, show me your identification?" the student on duty asks.
"What identification? I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have that right now..." Jio replies.
A massive chunk of ice ranging up to six meters long unexpectedly forms above Jio and starts falling. Thanks to his refined senses, Jio immediately takes out his sword made out of space rock and pierces the ice in one area, the ice's breaking point, and falls into pieces.
"You have some skill, but that's the end of it!" the student shouts.
Five meters fireball in diameter forms above the guy's head and throws it to Jio, thinking he's a terrorist planning something wicked to the school and its students and faculty members. When Jio is about to take a magic stone out to defend himself, a bubble-like barrier surrounds him and protects him from the attack.
"Principal!" The student bows once recognizing the bubble-like barrier and continue to talk, "I found this guy walking around without any identification... Might be a spy or something else."
"Don't worry and go continue your watch; I got this one," the principal commands to the student on duty as the student walks away.
"Who could you be?" The principal asks, holding his chin
"I'm Jio De Vil," Jio answers.
"Oh!!! please come to my office." The principal said
After Jio hand over the sealed letter, the principal start reading it, and when he finished, he said, "so right now your name will be Jio D. Spirit for some reason, and you'll be on class 1-1; here's the full map of the school hope you enjoy your stay."

No more raging wars. Love, please. Save my world. Restore hope into the eyes of those I've created." She became the forgotten goddess after her world lost its ruler.
