[The next morning]

I woke up early as usual.

Today I don’t have classes, I will like to go to the training camps to acquire the five law of wind but I can't because the pearl inside of me is too pure, I will be useless to use an artificial storm, I need a natural one.

So I will focus on my training of will, nevertheless, I need to go on a mission soon.

“Carolina, How do I train will?”

“You don’t actually “train” will, you can train the manifestation on will such as Alexia’ Multitasking.

What you can do is meditate, try to relax and concentrate, this practice can make you clear your mind and it will be easier for you to use will, however, to awaken the attributes of your particular kind of will, I don’t know”

“What are the conditions to awake the Emperor’will?”

“The condition is the resolution of the user, take Alexia as an example, her resolution was so intense that she actually awake her will, as for what her resolution is, I won't say it because is to embarrassing.

Later one, when she awoke her will, she starts her meditation, with that she could clear her heart and clear her mind, with enough training, she will awake more attributes of the Emperor’ will”

While Carolina was explaining this to me, I began to feel a little bit insecure about this kind of training.

Because whatever this kind of meditation works for me…. I am not sure, I heard from Carolina that the king and Emperor will are actually opposites so….

“Will it work for me?”

“I don’t know, you can try….. when you meditate to try to remember the phrase of Yato maybe it will help you”

“ ‘feed the demons’ right? “

“I initially thought that it could mean that you need to succumb to your inner demons but that’s not possible, not matter what happens, if you don’t fight your demons, you will die, your soul will be consumed, there is not an exception to this rule, so no matter what happens.

Do not ever let the demons eat your will, if you do that, you will become a vegetable or worse, a beast that can only act based on his instincts”

Carolina had a serious face when she told me that.

Actually, I was thinking just doing that, but if that isn’t the answer, what is it?

“For now, I will try to meditate I will see later what to do”

“Okay, close your curtains and sit cross-legged in your bed”

I did as Carolina told me

“Try to breathe slowly”

Haaaaa……..hufff……………..haaaaa…..hufff

“Don’t think of anything….. just relax…………. Focus your mind, clear your mind”

Haaa…………………………..

Huff………………………………

I relax as Carolina told me.

Suddenly, I feel something strange.

Dark………….. all was Dark …………. But this isn’t a normal ‘Dark’ it was……. Weird…….

Cold…… I feel very cold………….

Ajajajajajajaja……………………………….

Suddenly, I heard a voice…… Is far from me…. But I still can hear it……….. it’s a sinister laugh…

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA………………………………..

The voice is coming closer………. What is this…….!

“WHO ARE YOU?!”

I SHOUTED

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA, LITTLE KID, THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

“WHERE ARE YOU?!”

I TRY TO LOOK BUT I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING AT ALL!

WHERE AM I?

I AM EVERYWHERE, JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

“WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

I SEE…. YOU ARE MY INNER DEMONS!”

INNER DEMON?

The voice makes a suddenly silent before breaking in a louder laugh

INNER DEMON HE SAYS?! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

KID, YOU ARE REALLY FUNNY!

I am really scared right now…. I feel like this ‘voice’ is getting closer and closer to me.

Calm down! Is just an inner demon! A parasite in my heart!

KID, I CAN ALREADY GUEST WHAT ARE YOU THINKING~

Suddenly I feel something trying to embrace behind me, I turn around but is still as dark as the beginning!

IS A SHAME, IS ALMOST TIME OVER…..

BUT YOU WILL COME BACK, KID….. BE AT EASY………….. I Won't HURT YOU……NOT YET…

“You…. Who are you! What do you want!”

I couldn’t stop myself from asking for a second time

I? YOU WOULD KNOW AT ITS TIME…..

AS FOR I WANT, It's ACTUALLY EASY TO GUESS…………….

Suddenly, a huge mouth appears in front of me!

It was so huge that with one swallow it would completely eat me!

I WANT YOU KID!

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

I couldn’t stop myself from screaming

“Law! Wake up, Law! Wake up damn it!”

When I come to my sense, I could see Carolina with a worried face in front of me.

I look around and I was in my room.

“Law! Are you okay!?”

Ask Carolina.

“No, I am not”

I look at my body and I was drenched with sweat, my hands were trembling and if I could look at my face I am sure it will as white as a paper.

“Wh-what time is it?”

“Is alrady 8 p.m, you were mediating for almost 12 hours!”

“What!?”

12 hours? I cant believe it!

I open the curtains, it was dark outside.

“What did you see? To actually look like that…..”

“I don’t know……………. what it was”

I told Carolina what I saw and she also became pale.

“Carolina…. Was that an inner demon?”

“I don’t know what the hell did you see…… but that wasn’t an inner demon, an inner demon is a representation of yourself when you are in tough spots and you need to make a decision.

For example, if you are a kind person, your inner demon will make you decide if you want to kill someone for the sake of another or thinks like that…..

I have never heard about demons who can actually ‘talk’ to a person like they were individuals…..

This is too strange…. And also very dangerous……. Law I suggest forgetting about practicing will….

The next time………… maybe you won't be able to come back”

Carolina had a serious face and I was at loss.

Will………..is a power that I must have, for my revenge.

But for now….. I think I can't go back there….

That night I couldn’t fall sleep…..

I could still heard that laugh every time I close my eyes.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAAJAJAJAJAJA…………………..

……………………………………………..

[A month later]

I keep doing my classes as usual and going to the training area.

Although It didn’t help me to acquire the last law of wind.

It helps to conciliate my other 4 laws and make them stable.

Today, the semester ends and we can go to accept missions

Behind the main building, where we, teachers, dictate our classes there is a smaller building.

When you enter you can go to the teacher’ side at the right and student’side on the left, in each corridor, there is a receptionist who confirms your identity and then let you in.

Inside is like a small bar, at the left side there are papers in which are the missions.

The papers are separate depending on the class of the mission

E,D,C,B,A,S,

Of course, we teachers can't choose missions below B, they are there just for show I guess.

“Welcome, teacher Law, are you looking for something in specific?”

A blonde receptionist call me, when I look at her she is really tall, 2 m I assume.

“Yeah, I am looking for a mission that can allow me to go to the fire country”

“The fire country? That’s quite far from here, at least for 4 months you know?”

“Yeah I know”

In this academia, the teachers need to dictate at least 100 classes per year.

Every country has a teleportation portal at some key places.

I have already dictate 20 classes so I think I am ready to go.

“Ok, let's see, there is actually an A class mission.

You need to investigate some organization in the jungle, a special one, it seems that they are called ‘the zodiacs’, one of the members, ‘monkey’ will be passing by at mount Ysirga near the Irt village, in the country of fire, Find what is doing Monkey in mount Ysirga and report it to the Magus Academia in the country of fire

Reward: 50,000 gold + One wind core of an ancient beast”

The zodiacs?

What an interesting coincidence.

“Lightning.”

I call Lightning., who was in its cane form.

“Master?”

“Do you have any use for a wind-core?”

“Mmmm…. I think I don’t… for now at least…. If I want to I think It will need so blood”

“Blood?”

“Yeah, we beast need the blood of another beast to ‘mutated’.

As you humans cultivated the elements by praying to the gods, we beast absorb another beast to acquired their element, of course, the beast we consume to mutated can't be randomly chosen, we have an instinct that tells us which beast would be the most beneficial for our mutation”

“I see”

I look back at the receptionist

“Can I take my retainer with me?”

“Of course, but you can, at most, bring 3 retainers with you”

“I only have one though”

Just like that, I decided to accept the A mission and Depart to the fire country tomorrow with Alexia.

Hope all goes smoothly
