Daemon's Astral Plane

"And the winner is Cain," declared the vice principal.

CLAP CLAP CLAP

Everyone applauded, and excited audiences cheered for both of them...

"What a body slam!"

"Wished I was body-slammed like that."

"You know you won't survive right."

"Geez, he used a good finisher, and Wright was good too."

"Yeah, what an exciting match."

"Hahahahah.... he finally won...."

Many students cheered for Cain and Wright for letting them experience such a good and exciting show...

*cough**cough*

A deep resounding reverberated through the entire hall...

"Students, please organize yourselves, the principal has an announcement to make," declared the vice-principal solemnly as the principal was making his way toward them...

After hearing that, all the students went into an orderly formation and waited for the principal.

"Dear students, I would like to encourage every single one of you."

"For the amazing performance, you have displayed before me today, and I hope you shine brightly in the future."

"But that being said, you all lack experience, and it's the outside world that can offer such."

Said the principal as he continued, "the school will be transferring its Ewer to the school headquarters as it's only from there can you develop and mature better."

"The Headquarters offer a chance to train any techniques regarding attack, defenses, or support depending on what your Daemon specializes in."

"Only there will you start a new chapter in your life and also change your destiny"...

The Principal said as he walked to and fro with his hands behind his back as looked directly at every one of the students.

"The outside world will be an absolute dead ground for you young Ewers," he said causing shivers down the spines of every student.

"But, it also comes with great resources that go beyond human definition and understanding....so, take heart students as you all embark on a new chapter and bring this academy great success with your accomplishments."

"So, students, you have a day to prepare yourselves... The school will be taking its students there by the next tomorrow."

"And remember ...."

"THERE IS NO WEAK DAEMON; ONLY WEAK EWERS" The students replied as they finished his sentences for him.

Though the principal wasn't expecting it, he still smiled and nodded his head in approval...

"Dismiss" the principal ordered while taking his leave.

After he left, Cain ran straight toward the school clinic...

He went to check on his friend that he slammed hard on the ground and knocked him unconscious...

'Hope he's alright,' Cain worryingly thought.

On his getting there, he saw Wright bandaged up around his head (since he landed headfirst during impact), and chest area and was standing, and he then saw George and Tang Ming lying down on his bed...

"pftttt" Cain was trying to hold back his laughter.

"What are you laughing for, huh... you caused this ... a..and where did you learn that move from?" asked Wright with contempt as he winced in pain...

"Don't be hard on him, you lost man up," Tang Ming said with a ridiculing smirk...

"Geez, it was just a body slam I saw on T.V," Cain shrugged.

Wright glared at him, rolling his eyes in slight annoyance "and you decided to try it on me ....it hurt, you know."

George by the side found the bed comfortable and slept off peacefully...

"Hey get off Wright's bed, he's the one injured here," said Cain as he pushed Tang Ming and George off the bed...as he tried to please his friend through this...

They laughed, knowing what Cain is trying to do...

After Wright laid back down back on his sick bed, Wright turned to Cain and thought with a smile 'Though you beat me this time, know this I will defeat you one day'...

Cain, who was talking to his other friends, unknowingly became someone's takedown list.

After a few minutes, the awkwardness and soreness died out.

As four friends were in one room, random events that occurred on their day were discussed among them.

They joked and laughed at each other, especially at the bedridden Wright.

They caused so much noise that even the Head of the Clinic personally had to come down and kicked them out since they were disturbing the peace of the resting patients.

....

When Cain got home, he dropped his bag, went to his room, and sat on his chair with a smile on his face...

"What a long day," he muttered happily.

"Eve," he said...

[Yes]

"Explain the rewards I got…the new ones"

[Yes Host]

[Combinations]: This skill allows the Host to combine different Daemons…

"So, is there a limit to that," he asked as he lazily made his way to his bed.

[Positive]

[The more Daemons combine at once, the more vint energy it consumes]

"Oohh, not much restriction, I see..."

"So I just have to grow much vint energy to combine," Cain understood with less difficulty.

"Next" he demanded...

[Fusion][Locked]: This skill allows the Host to fuse different bloodlines into his Daemon or Daemons into each other.

[But it is locked at the moment]

"Hmm… ok, I kind of understand that one," he muttered.

"Why is it locked?" I curiously asked...

[The Host needs a stronger body to unlock]

"It seems that strength is the only way one can live without restriction," Cain muttered as he declared in his heart to become stronger.

"What of the Daemon astral plane?" he asked again...

"You have said those words several times."

[Daemon exists in a similar plane to the one the Host is currently on]

[It's a virtual world that contains the existence of different Daemons]

[A Daemon can't exist on the Host plane due to its laws]

[And can only exist on this one plane through the body of an Ewer through awakening]

"So you mean there exists another plane like this one," he asked completely taken by surprise.

[Positive]

"And I can get there?" I asked.

[Positive]

[But the Host can only exist there in a virtual form to not be destroyed by its laws]

[This can be available to the host only once per day]

"Can I get there now?" he asked with an expected expression.

[Positive]

[Does the Host want to enter the Astral Plane]

[Yes/No]

"Yes," Cain replied eagerly…

[Initiating transfer…..]

[Transfer in progress]

[Transfer Complete]

After the transfer was completed, a black vortex appeared and sucked Cain inside…

Once it disappeared, it left his room in a mess…
