Chapter 2
Raph The Unknown

As much as he wanted to see what his fellow newcomers levels would be he couldn't help but think that the test was just turning into a borefest of snores. It was the same every time, person would go up, launch their magic stream and the meter would tell them their magic level, over and over again. Another thing that bothered him was that he couldn't see Star. It was true that he hadn't really gotten to know her but she didn't look like the kind of person that would cause trouble. He had a plan though and hopefully with this they will be more focused on him instead of her. It's as his dad said, always help a woman especially if they are in a tough spot.

Name after name was called until finally he heard his own name. Without any hesitation he ran up the stairs and approached the instructor.

"Hmph, kind of eager aren't you?"

"Yep, I sure am Mr….."

"Mr. Walgrond, now if you have been paying attention then you should know what you need to do next right?"

"Indeed and you won't be disappointed."

Before he could cast any magic he had to throw his bags to the floor before he clapped his hands together as if he was going to meditate. He noticed Walgrond was looking at him a bit funny before he brought his hand to his right half glove.

"Sorry, just a little habit I need to break." he said as he chuckled.

All eyes were on his as his right hand started to singe as a symbol started to appear on his right hand.

"Alright, stand back teach this might get a bit wild." he said as he pulled out his wand.

Without a second thought he pointed his wand straight at the hole in the machine and released his magic steam. What he heard afterwards is exactly what he wanted to hear, people gasping as if they were surprised.

"Your stream, it's black! How, only members of the royal demon blood line can use that type of magic. Unless you're a…"

He couldn't help but laugh a bit at Walgrond's response, his face was priceless as was everyone else's. So many shocked faces, it was great and it seemed his plan had worked.

"Surprise huh!? Not only is the Demon King the king of the demon realm he's also, my, dad."

Alright, that was enough messing around. He withdrew his stream and slipped his wand back into his jacket pocket before he approached his instructor.

"Can I have my stat sheet please?"

In matter of seconds Walgrond wrote down his name and his power level and handed it to him.

"Thank you and have a great day."

Unlike when Star returned to the crowd no one said anything, they just stood there silent as they made a pathway to the back where he took a seat at one of the tables. He was quite use to the reaction he received, it happened every time people found out who he was. Maybe since he joined the academy their reputation would get a even bigger boost. They had the prince of hell in their school!

For the entire rest of the tests he didn't even see a trace of Star, he thought she would have at least stuck around 'till the end. Knowing how big the academy was it would of taken him hours to find her so he decided that after the tests were over and done with that he would just head to his room. Just as the last person finished up their test the power machine was moved off to the side and replaced with a podium. Everyone's eyes followed a rather young, handsome man with slicked back brown hair and piercing green eyes as he approached the microphone.

"Well done everyone, I am Chancellor Racmon and today you all showed us what you had and in time you will get stronger. Now don't go and think this will be your last power level test, at the end of each year you will do this again and each time your level will be recorded."

It made sense, that way both students and instructors could keep up with how far each student progressed over the course of one year. His own level was six hundred which was impressive but he would definitely need to improve.

"Now then let's discuss a few rules. Number one, there is to be no spell casting on fellow students, if you have an issue you can confront him or her in the arena rings to the west. Rule two, once the sun goes down completely all students are to be in bed, if a student is caught out at night your wand will be taken and stored for twenty four hours. The final and most important, if you find anything suspicious or strange report it to me or to one of the instructors. If you follow these rules we can guaranty that your stay will be enjoyable. That will be all, have a wonder day everybody!"

Alright, first things first, he needed to grab some grub. He had completely forgotten to eat before he left and now his stomach was paying the price. He had to think of what he wanted to do as he walked out of the main hall.

"First food then girl, sounds about right. Although I should probably make sure she's alright and return this, but then again my stomach is just crying out "feed me" Ahhhhhh, why can't I do both now!"

Alright, first food then her. Besides he needed to take a break after he used so much of his magic to show off in front of everyone. If people were to see him they might have said that he was obsessing over her, but he had been on the same boat ever since he started taking magic lessons when he was a kid. People would always talk about him behind his back and sometimes they would even pick on him, but over the years he grew use to it. If he could he wanted to be her friend, but in the end he was the prince of the demon realm.
