The Great Demon System

Chapter 307 - Angel?



Chapter 307: Angel?

One by one, they all went and showed their spirit-modes. They were quite the variety and ranged from various beasts, not only animals found on earth.

Some of them were truly eyecatching and caught Moby\'s interest while others seemed very weak and simple in nature. Yet, Moby was no hypocrite in this sense and was not about to judge a book by its cover.

"Next! Regrit Oswald! Show us your spirit mode!"

"Yes sir!"

\'Hmmmm… This should be interesting…\' Moby thought to himself, his right hand rubbing his chin.

He was more interested in what Artorias\'s spirit mode was but seeing Rigrit\'s confidence piqued his interest more than it already was. He was his roommate and first challenger after all.

With a wide smile, Rigrit walked up and stood up straight, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.

That was when the earth underneath his feet began trembling abnormally more than everyone else prior. Around him emerged mana, an orange aura surrounding him wildly and calming down as it emerged, covering him almost like a coat.

His face began to change, small little markings now more than clear, glowing cat-like or fox-like flickering ears sprouting up through his orange hair. Yet, it was the back that was most interesting… From his behind emerged five, fox-like tails around his entire hight, flickering and waving in the air like he had full control over them.

He looked oddly wild and elegant at the same time.

Undoubtedly, he was a fox… Moby had more than heard about the legend of the kitsune and the 9 tailed fox but he never imagined it to also be an ability spirit one could obtain.

Yet, what was slightly confusing was why there were four tails missing… Had he not unlocked the rest of the tails? Was he holding back? Or was five the maximum? Nevertheless, what he saw was truly impressive. He could feel the power radiating from him like crazy.

No wonder he was confident when they first met. Looking at him, he felt like he would be no match in a head to head battle— sin mode was definitely required, and even still victory was not assured. It was once again a reminder of the true power people in this school possessed.

Yet, the question also arose… What ability did he possess? From his transformation, it seemed like fire. Was he a member of one of the famed fire households? When looking them up prior, he did not remember seeing the Oswald household mentioned. So, what was he?

He shook his head. There was no need to worry himself, the answer would surely reveal itself soon when they begin proper ability training.

"Very good Rigrit! I can tell you\'ve been working hard!"

"Thanks, professor!" He laughed before bowing, dispelling his spirit mode as he walked backwards exuding confidence and pride, looking at Moby\'s eyes with a certain look that spoke to him more than a thousand words.

Next! Samantha! You\'re up!"

"Yes sir!"

Once again, there were three students up before there was someone that Moby was waiting for.

"Artorias Kalameet… It\'s your turn…"

"Yes sir…" He elegantly bowed, slowly strolling towards center stage, holding the same position as everyone else as they all waited with baited breaths to see what happened next… Especially Moby.

He was the man most shrouded in mystery out of everyone else. There was always information floating around about every student considering they were powerful enough to enter this school but he seemed far different… It was odd, maybe since it was due to the fact that he was from an unknown land.

He stood still, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. The ground stood still and energy began to slowly and elegantly flow all around him like a calming river. A feeling of grandness and serenity swept over every onlooker, like they were by the sea staring at the sunrise.

The aura slowly became denser all around him, forming white, lion-like armour with a slight protruding eagle-like beak for the helmet, wings from his back sprouting far and wide.

"A griffin…"

A stunned onlooker mumbled in a concealed breath and Moby could not agree more. Indeed, it was a white, majestic griffin. It held a calmness and elegance not born by any spirit mode before it… It was the least flashy yet the most eye-catching of them all. The crowd could not help but be left speechless.

Moby had an odd, inexplicable feeling in his heart looking at him yet he was completely unsure what it was.

\'Avilia… Do you feel anything coming from him?\' He resorted to her assistance.

\'...\'

At first, he received no response as she took time to ponder before answering.

\'It feels odd indeed… It\'s cryptic too, he\'s strong but I can\'t quite grasp his power. Shit… I wish I had my full capabilities and senses back… He holds the powers of the spirit exceptionally well, like he and it are fully compatible. There was a reason his energy did not rage and the ground did not shake. I have a feeling like that is how it\'s supposed to be like…\' She responded calmly.

\'I see… I\'ll try to look into him even more… But I\'ll be sure to watch my back,\' Moby nodded back.

Avilia seemed to be rather calm. If there was any impending danger she would have warned him. So, he decided to not worry himself too much concerning this.

"Excellent Artorias! Truly excellent! This! This is how it should be done! Take notes kids!" The teacher laughed hartley, an expression that he did not bear towards anyone else.

"Bless you, sir! You truly honour me!" He bowed elegantly, dispersing his spirit mode.

"Oh no! Don\'t be modest young man! What you\'ve done is truly exceptional! Hold your head up high and be proud!"

"Thank you, sir," He smiled, lifting his head as instructed before gracefully strodeing back towards the ranks of the students with his eyes closed, not batting anyone an eye, not even the ones intently staring at him like he was some sort of rival to them.

"And finally, the last student left is miss HikariYami! Please show us what you\'ve got!"

"Y-yes sir!"

"Hmmm?" Many of the people were confused that there was still someone remaining, when a little girl suddenly emerged from beneath them, looking no older than 14 years of age.

It was like they forgot about her existence. She was very small, quiet, and did not exude much of a menacing aura.

Even Moby forgot that Hikari still had her turn, which made his eyes grow wide. Now that he thought about it, he had never actually seen Hikari\'s spirit mode despite them being on good terms. Back when she fought his friends, she managed to barely break a sweat defeating all of them while not even needing her spirit mode.

"Oh… She\'s the girl with the split personality right?"

"Yeah! How the hell did you forget?"

As she walked up, Moby heard the slight whispers of his peers finally recognizing who she was.

When she reached the middle, she took a deep breath, not before looking back at the crowd with a smile. However, Moby knew that smile was not directed at the masses, undoubtedly, her gaze was fixated on him. So, he gave her a smile back and cheered her on.

Her smile became wider as she turned around and face the towering professor Zave in the distance.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes!" She nodded with more vigour than ever before.

"Good! Now show us what you\'ve got!"

"Yes sir!"

Like everyone else before her, she took a deep breath and calmed her mind, a small rumble forming from under her feet as snow-white energy flowed all around her, adorning her with decorated, golden engraved light armour from head to toe.

And, behind her back were two feathery, angel-like wings.

Her look… It gave Moby more than just a moment of pause… He was far beyond speechless as he went to Avilia for assistance.

Yet, before he could do even that, Hikari spoke…

"Is it my sister\'s turn now professor?"

"Yes, that would be lovely," He smiled back at her.

"Okay!"

That was when the ground rumbled once more and her entire appearance changed… Not only was her hair now pitch black, but her aura was now radiating a similar colour of pure darkness.

"Is this good enough professor?" Her voice was stiff and almost overbearing, a complete contrast to her other-self.

"Yes, that\'s excellent! You can go back to your spot now!" He ordered, making her sigh and revert back to her sister, her appearance going back to white.

"Thank you, sir!" She bowed deeply, marching back to Moby\'s side with everyone looking at her like some sort of exotic beast. Who could blame them… In human history there had never been a person who possessed two-spirit modes… But, here she was living and breathing right in front of them.

"Hikari… If you don\'t mind me asking… Are you… Are you an angel? He softly whispered in her ears…"
