The story begins.
Shinsu's eyes follow the boy's footsteps like an eagle. However unlike most beasts, the demon wasn't preparing for an attack. But instead he waited. Watching expectantly for his prey to turn predator. A predator worth a demon's fist.
Shinsu grins.
"All this back and forth is pointless Kai. I mean come on. All that chat you had was making me excited until this tedious walking became the main performance".
The demon's neck turns to Kai as he vanishes, reappearing right in front of him. Kai jumps back, yet his eyes stay focused. The demon looked back however, with his smirk fading away like a tiny mist. His head tilts.
"I love that look but hate it at the time. That annoying look for when you think you have a decent plan that's always gonna work.
"But the truth is you're constantly in denial trying to beat a demon who's not even trying to kill you. Simply pathetic".
The demon lifted a finger, targeting Kai and the clock.
"1 more minute. And yet you produced nothing just a damn walking performance," Shinsu says bending his knees.
He tuts.
"13 years. 13 years I was stuck in your body. So when I had the chance to come out I was expecting nothing more but BLOOD!"
The demon lunges towards Kai, his arm going back as he prepares a blow of pure might.
The boy's fists clenches in and out, responding with a jump of his own. His left fist emits a vibrant blue as it glows.
The sudden sight made the demon's disappointment turn into excitement.
"Finally" he thought, as he watches the boy's mana symbolise into something more than a vessel.
"Finally learning your own mana. That gives you a nice.."
Clap.
