Hell's Academy

A large crater instantly appeared behind Howard that instantly destabilized the dock up above. The remaining planks that had been fastened to the pillars of the dock shot in all directions.

Boom!

Nellon watched his attack keep exploding from above while he slowly floated back down to the ice. When he reached the S rank, he could truly fly in the skys, however, now he felt like the wind somewhat obeyed him. He felt like in just a few more years, he really would be unstoppable. Even the S rank wouldn't' be able to escape him!

"Heh, well, what a shame." Nellon cleaned his hands and walked towards Alrok, "You used the Second Level of Awakening only to make me stronger. How does it feel to know I'll slap you until you tell me where your family is, and why you're here, Mocralin?"

"Howard, so nice you came," Alrok laughed and pointed in the distance. "Heh, he looks angry."

"Right, like you expect me to turn around?" Nellon raised Alrok off the floor. "Who do you think I am."

"I THINK YOU'RE DEAD!" Howard seemed to be floating in the air with horns roughly the same size of his torso above his head. With a black flame spiraling around his body, his white shirt completely torn, and his black hair tossing above his head, he seemed to be omnipotent. "I-I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU VICKY! NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

"Unbelievable, he's still dreaming?" Nellon smiled and dropped Alrok. "Heh, you're nightmare is worse than I thought. Are those tears."

"UAAGGHHH! You're dead!" Howard armed move back, a large flame birthing behind it, while his tears rushed down his eyes. "I-I trusted you! You slept with me every night! You told me they were still alive! How dare you show me them dying! HOw dare you?"

"Ah, don't move," Nellon opened three doors behind him. "This is perfect,"

"Heh, just kidding idiot," Howard smiled widely before his arm rapidly shot foward. "Tricked you!"

Boom!

Three types of flames seemed to merge in Howard's hands that instantly merged into Nellon's torso. Like three snakes trying to dig a tunnel in a rock, they pushed into Nellon's body and oscillated until he seemed to shoot into the distance.

Boom!

Nellon lokoed down at his body in disbelief as he got carried through the sky. One flame had completely shattered through his armor. It seemed to slowly work its way through his abdomen, towards his heart, before like a viscous snake it pierced into it. In every direction, every once of his organs seemed to begin to burn with a terrifying flame.

'My Ki, It's not stopping that one flame,' Nellon coughed out blood and held out his hand. 'Please-please stop it Howard! If I die, they-they'll never give you Una!"

"Heh, I didn't kill you. They did," Howard pointed at the Varlen, "No one knows what happened here idiot. Rest in pieces you jerk!"

Boom!

Howard couldn't help but jump into the air and slam his foot into Nellon's face.

"That was for Monica!"

Boom!

"That was for Alrok!"

"And…" Howard smacked him once in the face. "That-- That's for me! I-I'M GOING TO KILL YOU A MILLION TIMES!"

"Howard, stop!" Alrok coughed out blood onto his hand. "He-he might be right. You-you don't want to kill him." Alrok walked over to Howard and gently touched him on the back. "Let me do it. I'll make it so they can't tell."

"Ha," Howard held out his hand and caused all his flames to dissipate. "You want revenge to?"

"Yes, and I also don't want his death to start a gigantic battle." Alrok picked up Nellon and began to put pressure on his throat, causing his face to turn pale and blue in an instant. "He's already out of Ki. He's literally just a human now in my hands. Now I suggest you go ahead and go to the finish line. I'll meet you in a few hours by your bus."

"How do you know we have a bus?�� Howard scratched his head and took a deep breath. "Anyways, you sure you don't want me to kill him? He's a handful."

"No, it's not that." Alrok pointed at Howard's arm. A gigantic portion of his arms had been burned, and seemed to be struggling to heal. "That flame. Whatever it is, whatever that terrifying flame is, it's destroying your body when you use it." Alrok coughed and covered his mouth. "Ugh, maybe when you're in the S rank you'll be able to handle it. Until then, your girls need you."

"Howard!" Monica jumped into Howard's arms and immediately planted her lips on him. "Mmmmm, you're so handsome when you're evil. Mmmmm!" She kissed him one more time while Reece walked over to his side and leaned down.

Her lips gently touched against his cheek before a blush spread across her body. Smiling at Monica and Howard kissing in front of her, she couldn't help but see the final gate in front of them.

"Howard, Alrok here is right. We got to go," She grabbed his arm and pulled him away from Monica, "Ugh, I'm still the leader, and damn it! My side hurts! I want to see his dead body later, Alrok!"

"Hmmm, did you just kiss him on the cheek," Monica smiled and turned Howard's face towards her. "I think he deserves a better reward. Isn't that right, leader?"

"Monica, you're confusing me!" Howard said and saw Reece leaning towards him. "Are you sure?"

"Heh, I suppose one little peck," Reece gently kissed Howard's lips, and gently rubbed his head. "Come on, the iron gate is right there."

"I'm okay, see," Monica smiled and grabbed Howard's hand. "However, I-I'm still your first girlfriend." She smiled and hopped over to the iron gate and started to disappear into the ebbing portal. "Heh, wait until Harley hears that I change! I can't wait!"

###

On the other side of the gate,

Barabin and Respell waited impatiently by the exit to Jarlon Valley.

Respell had spent the last hour talking about how his student Nellon would wipe the floor with Howard and deliver him in pieces. However, the longer they waited, the worse he felt in his heart.

"I bet Howard is already dead, but Nellon is just taking his time," Respell crossed his arms in angst. "Heh, how does it feel knowing your so called demon king is dead?"

"I think you're going to be slapping yourself in the face in a minute," Barabin shook his head, patting Zack on the back. "Zack's sister is connected to him, and he's clearly not worried."

"Heh, yup, you're going to be slapping your face," Zack pointed at the portal as a young girl appeared, her green hair blowing in the wind, her beautiful blue eyes and single horn causing all waiting to gasp "I guess miracles happen after all, huh?"
