"What... what just happened?"
"I... don’t know."
"Did that guy just....."
"Fuck, what type of bullshit is this!!"
The crowd was stunned speechless, their reactions being quite understandable, because after I’d laid down my gauntlet, the events that followed could easily be considered the fastest beat down I’d ever given anybody..
I say this knowing fully well that I’d sent both Apollo and Caelum flying in less than thirty seconds and the culprit of all these?

This was rely one... a single ability from my recently acquired but it had already made , well, infinitely more dangerous..
One of was already too much for most to handle, now I had an ability that gave as many of as I needed, all with my abilities in tact.
That was a scary thought, I couldn’t help being curious as to what exactly these things, these Arts, were, I’d received one from both Apollo and Cara, hell even the demon I thrashed earlier had one and from what I could glean, they were all pretty absurd, especially the ones from Cara, Apollo and Malachi, they felt like endga abilities..
"Tch, poor bastards..."
I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I swiped every single academy point the fools had on them, it didn’t amount to very much, atleast compared to what I received when I beca an elite, but beggars can’t be choosers and each point counted for sothing..
As for what would happen now that they were effectively broke? Well, that wasn’t any of my concern, they should be glad the academy had the decency to prevent deaths, or they wouldn’t even be breathing right now.
I turned around, the monkey was still stunned speechless, eyes wide in disbelief, a smirk broke out on my face..
"So, what do you think about my surprise?" I asked with a teasing glint in my eyes..
"That.. this... what? How?" Seems I broke the guy...
"That... was amazing... soooo many Dantes..." Cara’s voice ca from right beside , she’d sohow creeped up on without realizing..
"Heh.. you like?" I wrapped my arm around her waist..
"Like? Oooh, the things I’d love to test out with that skill.." her eyes glimred, I recognized that look all too well..
"Heh.. you’re getting pretty unhinged lately aren’t you?" I couldn’t help asking.
Normally this side of hers would be left for when we were alone, her cold pragmatic self being what she would carry around, but it seems she was tired of acting all that..
"Hihihi... it’s only when it’s you that I’m like this, what, you prefer cold and distant Cara instead?" She pouted..
"I never said that.."
"Good..." she smiled as she placed a soft kiss on my lips..
"Hey.. hey.. hey.. before you guys start mating in public, mind telling how you did that? How were you able to use my art? The thods were a bit different but I’d recognize that ability anywhere.." the monkey seed to have snapped out of his shock as he rushed towards and Cara, his voice breaking our intimacy..
"I’m going to skin this monkey, I swear." Cara gritted her teeth..
"Hey.. hey.. hey.. scary lady, don’t.. I co in peace.." Malachi’s arms instantly went up in surrender..
"Humph.." Cara snorted as she ignored him..
"Hahahaha... I’d love to explain it to you my friend, but I’ve got an appointnt to get to, so you’ll have to wait a while." I laughed at their interaction..
"Hmm? You’re going sowhere?" Cara’s questioning look was directed at ..
"Yea, My ’Teacher’ wanted to see ." I replied with a scoff..
"Wait, you have an instructor backing you? Who???" The monkey’s excitent returned..
"Oh, it’s nothing to get excited about, the old man isn’t even any fun to be around, so this is probably either going to be really boring or really painful, I’m thinking both." I grimaced as I realized I was about to walk straight into the lion’s den..
"Huh? Who is it.. tell .. tell .. tell .." wow, I’ve never wanted to punch soone so much before, but I restrained myself, violence wouldn’t solve anything, afterall I was a pacifist..
"Keep wasting my ti and see what I do to you later.."
"Ughh.. fine, fine, cranky old man..." I muttered under my breath as my body started levitating..
"The old man is getting cranky so I’ll be leaving now.." I replied as I reached a sufficient height, positioning myself in line with where they called the "teleport station".
What, you thought I was flying there? Do you know how ridiculous this place is? With my sense of direction I’d probably get lost in minutes..
"Oh, it’s valen by the way. Yes. The one you’re thinking about, cranky old man won’t let the young live, sigh..."
Boom!!!!
I shot forward as my words trailed behind , I didn’t have ti to enjoy the shocked expression I was sure the monkey was currently wearing..
......
Zing!!!!
Following a brilliant flash of light, I appeared at a different area entirely..
"Woah..." was all I could say, how do I describe the place?
The words "organized chaos" would probably be it..
The roads here were paved with a dark luminous material, sa as the entirety of academy city, but that was just about all that was normal here..
The "buildings" and "structures" were so over the place that you couldn’t even begin to understand why..
To my right there was a castle shrouded entirely in dark shadows.
Further ahead I could a golden mountain that seed to just float there.
Behind I could see a jungle, a literal jungle with the sounds of wildlife occasionally sounding out..
The structures felt like I could reach them with just a few steps, yet at the sa ti, like I could never get close to them even if I walked my entire life..
It was an extrely disorienting feeling..
"Ahhh!!!.. seems the goddess of luck was smiling on today!!" a soft, jovial and excited feminine voice broke from my thoughts, I turned around, looking for the source..
"Ummm... could you please stop embarrassing ? I know I’m short but this is a bit ridiculous you know?" The voice sounded once more..
"Who’s there?" I couldn’t help asking..
"Sigh... down here you dumb, tall and handso brute.." a delicate fist landed on my midsection as the voice reached my ears once more..
I looked down and my eyes t a pair of white, unblemished eyes...
"Hihihi... hi there, it’s nice to finally et you, Dante~~~."
************
A/N: ohh, what do we have here? Dante finally t his #1 instructor fan, I wonder what’ll happen next..
