《Devour》Chapter 8: The auction
Advertisement
In the morning, Jio walks towards the library that Mickey suggested where to meet. Standing in front of the library, he heard people arguing behind the building and decided to take a peek.
Jio saw Mickey helps a guy stand up while three other students look pissed, and the person starts to produce lighting as it flickers wildly around his arm. He aims and releases it to Mickey, but he only looks at it without any worries.
The lighting quickly arrives in front of Mickey after making a loud bang and catches it like a ball. Thanks to his soul necklace, he crashes the lighting with his hand as it disappeared. The bullies immediately ran after they realized they could not fight the person in front of them.
"Are you alright?" Mickey ask
"Yes, and thank you for your help... By the way, I'm Dino." Dino smiles, knowing that Mickey is a good person.
"Nice to meet you too, Dino; where are you headed anyway?" Mickey asks
"The auction," Dino replies.
"Me too! But I'm waiting for my friend," Mickey let out, frowning.
"Guess we wait cause I'm waiting for my friend also, and his name is Kiba," Dino said, smiling.
Jio activated his eye ability earlier and noticed something weird with Dino's blood vessels, which contain powerful magic, making Jio sees through Dino's skin like putting a bright light under the hand and see all the veins connect like tree roots.
Jio walks back in front of the building and meets with Mickey and Dino. They talk about what's in the auction today, and Kiba arrives, where they officially start introducing themselves to the group.
"I'm Jio D. Spirit; people usually call me Jio or Spirit," Jio introduces himself.
"I'm Mickey Chenn, and I do love thick thighs!" Dino, Kiba, and Jio look at him and though *A man of culture, I see*

"Well...I'm Dino Strong from Blood tribe," Mickey and Kiba look at him in surprise while Jio still has no idea about this thing.
Blood tribe is also known for its brute force, weapon ax, and blood ability!
"Why did you let those people bully you?" Mickey asks, scratching his head
"Our tribe doesn't support violence," Dino answers.
"And I'm Kiba Dragon," Kida let out.
"Son of Gil Dragon?" Jio asks after he remembers his father telling a story about him.
"Yes," Kida proudly answers.
"The hero of the East!" Mickey let out and continue. "I didn't know you guys are big shot, but the auction is about to start, so we need to start heading our way to the auction house and look for sexy... I mean, high-grade items we can get," Who would think that Mickey checks the whole school every day to check out girls making him the best person to ask about Hell School.
The building looks normal, and when they enter the building, the ground floor is already crowded, and a hint of excitement on everyone's face. At the same time, a few students stand by the balcony inside the building where famous and students with enough Hell points to afford reservation.
The light turns out, and the spotlight is focused on today's auction's host, "Good morning, fellow students. I'm Sam of class 3-I2, and I'll be hosting today's event. We all knew today's item, so shall we start?"
***
The list:
1. One Grade-four fire magic stone
2. One Grade-five ice magic stone
3. Two Grade-four lighting magic stones
4. Fifty health vials
5. Fist size space rock
***
Magic stone Grades
-Grade one to five; as the level increases, the amount of magic stored in the stone also increases.

Magic recharge
-The stone gathers magic around the surrounding area to recharge.
-Example: People would put firestone near the volcano to get recharge or outside, gathering magic from the sun.
-A magician can also focus and gather magic around them, but it's very tiring.
Health vial
-Hard to come by since it is made from various type of herds. No one wants to be an alchemist. The demand is high enough to get out of stock in no time.
Space rock
-Rare metal and the hardest there is, but the only problem is how many people can forge this metal, and it's heavy.
-Fifteen years ago, when people thought that the sky was falling and the Gods were angry, countless space rocks fell from the sky. Many people died at that catastrophic event.
***
"For our 1st item, we have one Grade-four fire magic stone for 100 hell points," Sam announces.
The price keeps on increasing, and suddenly a rampaging triceratops beast with three horns, armor shield skin, and for some reason, there is a glowing tattoo on its forehead. The beast destroys the stage killing six, including Sam, the host and class president of Ice Magic class. It's so sudden that everyone starts to panic trying to get out of the building.
Jio remembers what his father said about a beast and Monster race that has that glowing tattoo, "Double the strength and double the magic power... I highly recommend running away from it." Jio would love to run right now but seeing all students die, he just can't run away.
Jio takes out Jon and notices the fist-size space rock beside him, so he uses Jon and takes the space rock "Devour" he wants to say it every time Jon devours something. He let Jon morphs a small portion of the space rock into a demon-like mask to wear.
