There was the door into my new nightmare, the academy they sended me to just to get me out of the village so i can't mess up their plans. They always take the easy way out not even having the guts to face me head on. My heart was broken and never came back in one piece, because off Al this hate and pain i never knew what pain really is. Pain is something thats a part of my live. I took my first couple of steps into the hall and saw allot of students looking at the new kid on his first day, already rumors started to make his way around like, you know this new kid right, well he isn't human he is a demon with no feelings. Lets go show him who is the boss around here whahaha. I kept walking further inside but some students start walking behind me pointing at me. I tryed to ignore them but then one of them grabbed my shoulder making me stop and when his hand touched me i got a flash back.
Flash Back:
I was 15 years old and already under the training of my death sensei, who dies right before i got transfered here pretty strange right. They have asked me to finish off some thief's who kept stealing day after day and they would pay my sensei great amount of money. I accepted the mission and grabbed my gear. I walked into the room were my sensei was on his sitting on his knees waiting for me to take place infront of him on my knees. " Son, I can't tell you how muchts i love you, and I'm proud to give you this family Katana thats been more then a 100 years old. But what i didn't knew was that this sword has a sleeping power inside it locked away years ago. I accepted the Katana and walked away but before i left i felt a hand on my shoulder it was from my sensei saying one thing. " Don't let them hold you down, show them what you can. "
END Flash Back:
Returning to my senses, I still felt his hand on my shoulder hearing my masters words over and over. I grabbed the boy's hand and broke one finger by a fast movement making him scream. The other 4 students took a step back seeing the anger in my eye's but what they didn't knew was that i didn't saw them but the once who sended me away and i was sure that they killed my Master. The one who got his finger broken grabbed a gun placing it on my chest and ordered the other three to grab their weapon aswell. As for now i had 4 guns pointing at me and i knew i didn't had the speed to doge the bullets atleast not all of them. I grabbed my sheath and smashed the weapon placed my my chest to the side and right after that making a small turn to end up at the back of one of the guys so that the guns start pointing at him. I them grabbed the collar of the students uniform and tossed him over against the wall, the gun was flying in the sky as i grabbed it when it came down i pointed it right on the so called leader his head and smiled right after i dropped the gun and walked away knowing that those weak fools would just stand there.
As i made my way into the courtyard for some fresh air i heared some mages talk about a mage called Tristan Knightrhode and that he was some how a hero i don´t know the reason i walked up to them and grinned. " You two wanna see a good fight then get me that so-called hero. " a student answered me "Are you crazy he will kill you!! "
" You think that he is indeed you hero then you better get him before i kill you two off. " I didn't really planned on killing them because i am no killer. Soon the rumors started about a underdog calling Tristan Knightrhode out and they already made a time 5' o clock in the court yard.
I made my way into the court yard because i wanted to know more about this person who they call a hero. I don't believe in hero's so this fool better have a good excuses for why they call him a hero. More students came and came but still no hero. Before i knew there were like 150 students ready to watch a fight.

Achoo~
Well that was odd.
Out of no where, Tristan sneezed. It wasn't loud, but it wasn't silent either. [God...how long has it been since I last sneezed?] He wondered to himself. True enough, such a simple notion as the basic bodily function of sneezing was foreign to Tristan. For all intents and purposes, the hunter hadn't sneezed, coughed, or much of any thing els for that matter, in the past ten years. His Crusnik immune system prevented him from being infected by almost any thing, even so much as something like pollen in his nose.
Igneus too thought it was odd, though neither of them thought any thing of it. A moment or two after the incident in question, Tristan thought of an old superstition, whether it was japanese or something els, that when someone is talking about you, you sneeze. Ahh well, Tristan was never superstitious. Spirits, gods, demons, whatever. To Tristan, something either existed or it didn't, end of story.
Back along with events, Tristan was simply walking through the halls of the Academy, heading to his next class. Advanced chemistry. That was the name. Tristan's alchemy was severely benefiting from this class, and others like it. The hunter periodically, no pun intended, studied the periodic table of elements. A copy of which was folded in a pocket on the inside of his black dragon hide coat. That was the only problem with alchemy...you needed to know everything when it came to chemistry. You needed to know what reacted with what, where, when, why.
Every single particle in every single atom in every single molecule in every single substance in your presence needed to be analyzed and known to a tee, so that when you performed alchemy you came out with absolutely zero variable, your end product had to be flawless, lest the smallest hitch set the structure ablaze and erupting with the force of it's equal weight in C-4. Naturally that was one of the worst case scenarios, but you had to take that into account before you screwed around with magic of any kind.
Coming upon the door to his chemistry class, Tristan heard idle banter from down the hall. Hearing on par with vampires and werewolves caught the low speech of a few students mumbling the latest rumors. One such rumor seemed to be the talk of the town...and would ya look at that, it involved Tristan. Stopping short with his armored hand on the knob, the hunter listened in.
"Did you hear? Some kid wants to fight that hero from Vichy."
"That blonde guy?"
"No...The other one...Knightrhode."
"You serious? I heard that guy's never lost a fight. What rank is the guy?"
"The one looking for Knightrhode? I think he just enrolled."
"Crazy basterd...."
"Yeah, I know. Supposed to fight that guy at five today. In the courtyard I think."
"Shit...You goin?"
"Hell yeah."
And that's when Tristan stopped listening. Cranking the knob sideways, he pushed the door open and took his usual spot in the back corner. [You catch all that?] Yeah...You gonna fight him? [Maybe. I try not to bother with shit like that. It's like it's a damn high school. And I finished with that seventeen years ago.] The teacher spoke up then, welcoming who was there, and not bothering to wait for those who were late.
Igneus hopped off his partners shoulder, resting his head on the table with that familiar twin thunk. His feet then his head hitting the wood of the rather long table. "Well now class, I'll begin. Let's start with a review of the ato~...." Soon, though seemingly not soon enough, class let out. The hunter was one of the first few out the door, the element dragon back to his perch on that right shoulder. The rumors were set a fly once again.
"Hey did you hear~..."
"Yeah, that mage guy is gonna kill someone~..."
"Hey, I heard some demon is gonna take on a demon hunter later..."
"Wait, what the fuck? Where'd the monkey come from~..."
Ahh...the game of telephone. How irritating. Not an incessantly short time after that chem class let out, people were staring at Tristan and murmuring to their friends at the same time. Even more irritating, soon a member of the security was walking up to Tristan.
"Knightrhode. What's this I hear about you killing someone?" Tristan looked the man, who was exactly an inch shorter, "You tell me. Rumors have been going around about some new kid wanting to fight me. Nearest I can tell, it's going to be a five in the courtyard. That's the most consistent rumor I'm hearing, though I've heard some pretty random shit." The man nodded, "Well, if you do accept, and it is true, make sure it makes it into the Training grounds before any damage is dealt to the school." "Right." The man patted Tristan on the shoulder and walked past.
The hunter sighed to himself, then looked up at a clock. [Four o' clock. Guess we'll find out if this is bullshit or not.] Tristan put a fist to his jaw and pushed his head to the side, cracking his neck in a series of sickening pops. He did the same to the other side and walked on.
A good fifty minutes later, Tristan had been doing nothing in particular, only now he headed to the main courtyard in front of the main entrance of the school. "Damn...every one must have heard about this." More and more people were pouring in every second. Another sigh before Tristan shot forward, his crazy power sending him flying over every one outside the ring and putting him in the center, facing a single student.
"Hey! You the apprentice every ones talking about?" In his deep and menacing voice, all his gear but his .30-06 was present on his body.

I was sitting down on a wall having my Katana standing next to me holding the sheath with one hand. As the students start to make groups to watch the upcoming fight i smiled. Those people are really a pack of sheep, they can't stand the smell of blood in the air. As the sun was starting to set i saw a older student somewhere around the age of 30 pretty old if you ask me. It had to be the so-called hero because the people all turned towards him and then back at me, they looked like they knew i was going to lose but still they didn't knew shit. I got on my feet just a second before i heared the man speak. I smiled and locked the sheath of my sword to my belt and walked slowly towards him and walked past him.
" You still need to ask, 40 years and still don't know who is calling him out. "
I already had heared the fighting story's about this man and that he had more power then i had. My pride was stronger then his strength will ever be. I will always face the strong and i will always defeat the demons in my life. Why i called this man out was still a question to myself, I don't even want to fight but i knew that if my body was put to his limits i learn things faster and thats the way to become stronger, fighting weaker people will just soften you up. As i passed the man and just walked away willing to know what he would do. Well i was walking away i was showing my dark red aura that was in around me.
" You are coming our what, I know that you are scared to get in trouble so lets go to the training field that had been set-up for us."
I made my way to the training fields and i didn't even turned to face the man that is probably abit confused about what is happening around here. I knew that this fight was to high for me and yes i knew that I'm going to lose but i will not show them why not yet. They all came to see me bleed and they will see me bleed. But blood is something i want to see also. Why am i fighting a fight i can't win? Well its all part of a plan to become stronger but how was still to soon to say because i didn't knew if i would make it out of here alive. But then a first year student came running towards me.
" Please, don't fight him you don't know what he can do. Please i don't want you to get hurt. "
< what the hell is this kid talking about? >
" Please!! i beg you "
I tryed to ignore the little girl and made my way to the arena. It was a nice green field and with a nice orange glow on it from the sun setting down.

Tristan shook his head. Petty taunts. Tristan had gotten over those ages ago. Sure he messed with Shadow's head on occasion, but that was just to get him to his potential. The hunter did nothing as the idiot walked past, Igneus just moved his head to keep an eye on him. Tristan walked behind the boy, not impressed by a simple aura, Tristan had the same thing, only his drained the life force out of any thing it touched. That spell, Seoligna, wouldn't be needed here, Tristan wasn't going to need to use that much energy.
"As for getting in trouble, boy, the fight will be stopped if it's any where but the Training grounds. Don't want that, do we?" The hunter kept walking, a blank and cold expression on his face. He didn't even know why he was bothering, but that was besides the point. As the two walked, the entire crowed came with them, slowly inching like a giant foot ball, all the way to the Training grounds.
After a while, they finally came to the gates, the observers not getting close to the fighters stayed back a bit. The hunter saw the girl, but ignored her as much as this guy did. If he wanted to disregard a blatant warning of Tristan's power, let him. They finally stopped and the crowed encircled again. "Back off, all of you. This could get messy." Igneus flew off his partners shoulder, and Tristan began to disarm himself. His sword in its holster came off first, and was stabbed into the grassy earth, the diamond in the blade sparkling brilliantly.
Tristan's coat was next, the black dragon hide covered the blades brilliance as it's collar used the hilt for a hanger. Cracking his neck again, Tristan stared the boy down, simply watching for movement. After he was done, he stood square, a taunt in and of itsself. "Challenger goes first. Your move, boy."

" The first move, You really believe in those rules and Honor stuff do you? "
This Academy was starting to piss me off by the minute. I was feeling that beast inside this monster and I could feel that it was hungry like any other beast. I could feel the non-humans from the age of 9 so i know that he isn't a full blood human. My job the reason why I was send here was just a experiment to see if the humans still made a change against the Beasts from Hell. I would like to finish this as fast as possible so i could join my Master. I make a small bow to show my respect something only humans know. I then revealed the light Katana from his sheath, I was holding the Katana in my right hand and the sheath in my left hand and took the fighting position my Master always took, I slided my left leg backwards and bended my knee's so i got abit lower to the ground and placed the katana infront of me as i placed the sheath behind my back. This sure brings back old memory's as i still hear the voice of my master, he was proud of me and he saw me as his son but in the end i was just a weak fool who lost his master and just become a toy.
As i saw the eye's of the beast i started to doubt my own skills but i got to far to just stop I did this so I had to finish it. I then before i even knew myself rushed forwards and i tryed something i was trying to do for so long but it never worked and i tryed to make a flash step when i was like 3 feet away from him but i was to slow so you could see my movement. I stopped at his left side and made a slash from above to strike his head in two, but at the same time trowed my right knee towards his kidney. My movement were faster as normal but still not my maximum but the flash steps still don't work and my master did them so perfect and he did it faster then the sharpest nose can smell him. I still didn't find his murderers. And when my sword was still going down i had a image inside my head, I was standing in the trainings field only with my master no students around nothing but that girl from before she was standing there also.
" Sai, my son please use your mind and not your heart. I know that you are angry on the world and that you are alone but there is someone inside your life thats gonna be your new life. You have to protect this person no matter what. You understand me!!!"
" MASTER!!!!!, I can't forgive them i just can't i don't want to life anymore i have no reason to protect anybody. "
Then he was just gone and the image of the girl kept playing inside my mind over and over again, will she be the person my master talked about?. But this was no time to think about it i was in a fight. I got back into a clear mind and i saw no time had past and my sword was still coming down.
" Get him Oni-San "
The girl shouted out loud.

Tristan's eyes narrowed slightly. He was slow, but faster than some of the beginners. And eyebrow raised as the boy came closer. [Nothing but a charge, huh?] The possibility of some sneak attack came into mind, but Tristan wasn't worried, he was superior to normal humans in every way and could see most things coming from even those of his own rank, let alone an apprentice on his first day. Suddenly the kid blitzed to the side. "Heh, so simple." Tristan said, looking to his left only using his eyes.
He made no effort to avoid as the sword came down, which he could see quite easily. That left armored hand blasted up and easily caught the blade of the katana. Tristan's hand closed tightly on the blade after the briefest moment for the kid to realize what had happened, but without enough time for him to react to it. Tristan's head turned then and the rest of his body followed into it's lightning fast prowess a millisecond later. The knee was met by Tristan's left thy, knocking it aside, then the right foot, which was still on the ground, kicked off and sent Tristan into a horizontal position.
That left foot shot out then with enough speed and power to crush a normal humans rib cage, and at the very least send this punk kid flying into the audience, only his sword would stay with Tristan, the hunters grip was strong enough, like the rest of his body, to crush weaker metals and would hold fast to the blade with ease while its owner was sent flying. Tristan was using his full unenhanced speed, which was great enough that almost no apprentice could react to in time.
Even Raiden, one of the fastest lower ranking students Tristan knew, would be hard pressed to defend himself from this attack.

My blade came down and it did hit something, but when i looked at the end of the blade i saw that he was holding it with his hand. My blade was sharp and he just grabbed it and nothing happened. Right after that i got hit in against my ribs and it was to fast to see it, I was send back flying against some students that just pushed me back into the training field. As i rolled my way on the ground i came to a stop and this time i was unarmed because i dropped my sheath because of the impact and some blood was sliding slowly out of the corners from my mouth, one hand placed against my ribcage with some possible broken ribs atleast it feels like it. I got back on one knee looking up as my eye's starting to glow a nice light blue, I was now testing my own body by releasing one of the seals like i call them. " Body Increase !!! " As my body got faster and stronger i felt like i had a new body and got back on both feet and faced the man who was still holding my katana but probably wasn't strong enough to brake it.
" Brother wait, please stop this fight i can't live alone like you did. I know you loved my father like your own. "
" Who are you? can't you see I'm in a middle of a fight. "
" I'm the daughter of the one who you call master. "
" His daughter why didn't he told me? You are lying, this must be some kind of test. "
I then ignored her again and walked slowly towards the him who is still holding the sword and i then run as fast as i could forwards and did a perfect flash step towards my sword and grabbed the Handel. It was the sword of my master so he won't have it, when i toughed the sword i made it glow with a eye blinding glow probably enough to at least make him let go or turn his head away. If he turns his head away i would pull the blade from his hand leaving at least a cut and if he does let go of the blade i would jump back then place the Katana above me and then make a slash " Heaven's Slash " (new attack) and a blue white blast will fly towards him. This is the first time i will do this and it will drain allot of energy.

Tristan's right foot met the ground and helped the hunter launch himself back to his feet. Still holding the sword by the blade, he spun it around so that the handle was facing the boy who had just been sent flying into the observers. It was almost a taunt as Tristan held it in an easily accessible manner, the hilt blades length infront of his thumb. Voices from the audience began taunting the boy then as Tristan stood idle. "Haha! Nice try kid!""You suck!""He's 'gon kill you kid!"That same eyebrow went back up at the shout. Body increase. Same principle as Tristan's chakra techniques, or so it sounded. Only oddity was that the kids eyes were glowing blue. The Crusnik wasn't interested in the conversation and stood square, that same old lax stance that could be seen as a taunt. A taunt that your opponent was just standing there, not even making the effort to prepare himself for your next attack.
The kid walked forward then, and Tristan was indeed surprised when he suddenly was infront of Tristan. Another spell? No...same thing as before, only this time it was more effective. Tristan's shielded eyes easily overcame the flash of light that came from the blade by the mans hip. His glasses protected him from the brightests of lights, he could stare into a solar eclipse with these babies and be perfectly fine.
He did, however, let the blade go. Kid wanted it, fine, but as he shouted his next attack, before he even got the second word to cross his lips, Tristan's titanium clad fist rocketed forward with just as much force as his foot had not a minute prior. Possibly with even more. Tristan had taken a single step forward, the right foot, as well as punched with that right hand, increasing the power of the punch. It would strike in the same exact spot as the last strike, furthering any damage the kick had done to the boy's ribs and internal organs. |

The light was getting brighter and brighter as i smiled seeing all those students covering their eye's and my smile turned into a grin as i looked back at the enemy and my grin slowly faithed away as i saw him not blinking once < damn, why can he look into it? > There my sword was free for some reason and I jumped back right aways and as fast as i could. Heavens slash popped up into my mind but when my lips started to move the enemy moved to. My eye's followed his body but it was to fast as i saw his arm coming straight towards me I flash stepped back into the crowed to get some space. I can't die yet I still have to hear the girl her story she did look like him those eye's, but she wasn't her anymore atleast thats what i thought. Her name why didn't I asked her name damn. I start pushing students away to find her but they started to get mad and start trying to push me back into the field and blocked my way to get into the crowed further. A tall student then grabbed my arm and tryed to swing me back into the field but when my feet left the ground i smashed my knee against his chin to knock him down. But when i was still in mid air i saw a new student trying to kick me back in but before the kick landed the girl came infront of me faster then i could see her and she got knocked down by the kick, I got down next to her but then i hear the words from the student making fun of her saying things like " Look she fell for me. " I got back on my feet and rushed towards him and made my blade shine again revealing the spot I'm right now but thats something that comes later. The student blocked his view and when he lowered it he saw me standing right infront of him holding my blade on his throat. " That was the wrong thing to do now face me as a her bigger brother. " I pushed him back cutting him on his cheek to make him scared and i did he start running out of the crowed.
I walked back to the girl and i hoped that the man showed at least some respect and let me get her back onto her feet and then attack me and not before, but if he did i will not blame him i did walk away and that is disrespectful. I picked the girl up and smiled even i was in pain because of that first blow. " I'm sorry, just wait her i will be back and i know that you father would be proud. Well um i have to go back to the fight now. " As i walked back she came running towards me and jumped on me giving me a hug and then stepped back into the crowed.
" Sorry that i kept you waiting, so were was I. "
I had a new kind of aura around me because i thought that i had a sister but soon things will change. I was standing 5 feet away from the enemy as I took the stance again and this time i felt like i was going to atleast think more clearly. I came rushing forwards once more but this time with a smile, a smile of pride. I came closer and closer and i knew that this man thought he had this but I will show him. I flash stepped from the right side to the left side and then above him coming down with a vertical slash but before anything could happen i flash stepped to the back of him and " Heavens Judgment " A white blue slash will atleast cut him if it hits him what probably will be hard. were ever he moves to i would flash step next to him trying to kick him in his kidney to knock the wind out of him atleast try to.

Tristan's fist stopped without hitting any thing. [Where the fuck did he go now?] Then he saw the kids head pop out of the crowed dead ahead. "Oh." Tristan stood idle again, returning to his squared position. He hadn't even moved from this spot from the beginning of the fight and here this kid was going all over the place. The energy signature of that teleportation was faint, but Tristan was looking for it now. He could feel it.
Unfortunetaly he could also feel the energy signatures of the hundreds of surrounding mages. Ever since he'd hit the third rank, he'd been able to feel the energy eminating from other people, even ordinary humans, though that was the faintest of all. A flash eminated from the crowed. "What the fuck is he doing over there?" The hunter sighed to himself. Here he stood, challenged by some apprentice, and the kid had retreated into the crowed.
"Do it again and I'm coming after you." Tristan said when the guy came back into the 'arena'. Then boom, he was gone again. Consequently though, that energy signature was...There.
Directly behind, Tristan looked to the side as the boy shouted his spells name. A slight smirk was what the attack was met with as it pounded down, crashing through where Tristan had just been, blasting into dirt. Had it worked? Was Tristan destroyed by the attack? He wasn't standing there. Must have been, right? Wrong. This challenger would feel and intense pain right between his shoulder blades as the sickening thunk of metal striking bone would ring out through out the area.
Tristan was just above the kid, his chakra doubling his speed in that ever so familiar double time spell. The hunters speed was now blinding, and untracable by most fighters eyes. Tristan was moving four times faster than this boy's original speed and had practically teleported above him, using his full power in combination with his speed to deliver a staggering double hammer fist to his upper spine. An attack which, not only could shatter the boys back and spinal colomn, but would send him flying into the dirt where Tristan had just been standing.

Smoke everywhere and i thought i finally had him but when the smoke was gone he was also, damn he got away again but how my speed was fast. I didn't knew that he now was above me and it was to late for me to even make a flash step because my body had reached his limit and it turned heavy. My body never took this muchts damage or used up so muchts energy. This fight was for me to lose in the first place, I knew that I was losing because I was willing to die right here right now but now I don't know anymore. I must take care of that little girl and give her a good life.
" Where are you ! "
Right after my lips stopped moving i felt a great amount of pain in my upper back and a loud yell came across my lips as i crashed down on the ground and started rolling towards the other side of the field but I didn't got back on my feet my body was broken and the pain was to big to handle soon i would pass out. I tryed to look towards the man but my body wasn't working with me at this point and I tryed to grab my sword but it was to painful to move my arms. This fight was more then i could handle and even harder then i thought. This fight can't be over yet i didn't even injured him and he broke my body with only two blows.
" This isn't .... over yet! "
I grabbed my sword screaming out in pain and then tryed to get back on my feet, but i could only got back on one knee and raised my sword. My arms were heavy and it was hard to take my mind of the pain and the next hit could kill me easily. But before anything could happen the girl came running in pushing me in the back of my neck knocking me out as my body felt forwards and my sword dropped. She picked me up and also the sword The girl started speaking against the man as her eye's turned red.
" To bad you didn't kill him now his life will become a Hell whahahaha "
The girl walked away and then jumped off and just disappeared into no where.

Tristan just stood there while the kid rolled around, lolling in pain. The hunter shook his head slightly when he wouldn't give up. He did admire the commitment of a fighter when he didn't stop till he couldn't move, but the kid was lucky not to be paralyzed, and he was still trying to get up. "It was over the second you made the challenge." He said quietly, standing idle.
The moment the girl advanced, Tristan looked up, not really interested in kicking her ass too. The moment those eyes turned red, however, Ebony and Ivory both flew from their holsters in untraceable movements by Tristan's hands. The opposing elements of light and dark began charging in the barrels of the guns of corresponding color. Ebony charged darkness, Ivory charged holy. Both were held in what is known as 'gangsta' style, pointed dead at the girls face. What ever she was, it wasn't human, and something told the hunter that she wasn't with the academy either.
She ran off with the boy however, and the man had no quarrels with that. His elementalism dissipated, his guns returned to their holsters, his coat returned to his back, and both his sword and dragon returned to his shoulders. "Return to your classes people. Shows over." Tristan shouted out before walking out of the supposed arena. Tristan hadn't even dignified the boy with the use of his true magic. He'd only used chakra, a skill which the challenger himself possessed.
