Chapter 8 - The killer at Yokai academy

Chapter 8

Guvo- alright class today we'll be learning about the differences in mana

Merlin- oh cool

Shaow- something interesting?

Guvo- let's start with basic mana

White mana is the most basic having a normal amount of mana as well as its potency being normal

Dexter- aww man

Guvo- but that's fine white mana can be given ability's to boost physical attributes such as speed strength and even thought process and heart rate but can only be used on yourself it's up to you to make your own abilities Dexter

Dexter- hmm alright

Then there is blue mana it's a rare type of mana that many people do have it's linked to more cold or oceanic attacks it's also more potent than basic mana but they usually have less mana than people with basic mana

There is also yellow mana another type of rare mana it's less potent than any other mana making it weaker than most mana but it's very diverse. For example you can use any weather based attacks and even curses with this mana abs it has more mana than basic mana

Then there are excellent class manas like green mana it's basically blue mana and yellow mana but much more potent with the same amount of mana as yellow mana

Another Excellent class is grey mana this mana has the ability to slowly evolve although you won't have much mana or potency at first when it evolves completely through diligent training it becomes darker and darker until you reach black mana status although I've never seen anyone reach black mana status before

Shaow- my mana can become darker?

Guvo- with training Shaow and allot of it

Another Excellent class mana is transparent mana it has the ability to use transparent attacks that can't be seen

Merlin- but Shaow went into his shadow isn't that an attack that can't be seen?

Guvo- we'll him going into his shadow he made a small pocked dimension with his mana where he can't be hurt it's very impressive actually if he trains that ability more eventually he will ba able to use other shadows around him

Merlin- ohh

Guvo- Transparent mana also have another stage called unfortunate world it's an ability that allows there eyes to see moves being made before they are made as well as increases all of a persons stats the further it progresses

Muriel- so my mana is special

Guvo- yes it is

Another excellent class mana is orange mana even standing it it can burn a person to death

It's mostly used for heat abilities and nuclear like abilities its also the mana type I have

Now let's get into Typhon class mana types

There's not much known about these classes but let's start with red mana or blood mana

Blood mana becomes stronger and stronger the more people you've killed you can't make it stronger any other way and before anyone asks Mercy has not killed anyone yet blood mana appears a transparent red color but gets much darker until it actually looks as if there mana is blood and apparently ends up having an aggressive stench to it at that point

Merlin- Is that what mercy will have to do?

Guvo- he's been trying his hardest to get stronger with his base mana and has but it will only push him so far although because he's been damaged so many times the healing factor in blood mana has gotten crazy strong in him

Shaow- Hopefully we don't have to turn to darker ideals

Guvo- you will

Another Typhon class mana is violet mana although it's a legend or so I thought until I met Yuzu

Merlin- The dean also has purple mana

Guvo- that's… interesting

Anyway it's said to have the weakness to most mana types and insane amounts of power

There is also pure mana it's a gold like color and another Typhon class mana it's the purest form of mana and it's strength it's most notable ability it's able to use most if not all mana abilities but not copy them unlike Merlin

In Merlin's case he has something with multiple different mana abilities as well as his own his would definitely be a Typhon class and I'm going to give it a name now

Gravity mana it's very difficult to describe and not all is known about it but it's ability's consist of most of the abilities of other mama and can even copy and strengthen abilities

Those are all the mama types there are also people born with 2 different mana types but that is very rare

Shaow- this is allot of information to take at once

Merlin- not for me I've already been studying up on there things

Shaow- Of course you have

Someone busts open the door

Grace- GUVO WE HAVE A PROBLEM THERES BEEN MURDERS IN THE SCHOOL

Guvo- calm down Ms.Vich can you explain the whole situation

Merlin- I'll keep the class here you go Guvo

Guvo- alright

Grace- you just trust a student to watch over your class?

Guvo- that boy there is not just a student

They go to the location of the murder in a mens bathroom

Guvo- it appears the boys been killed by cryptic magic

Grace- yes specifically a curse

Guvo- you want to know the type of mana that caused the curse correct?

Grace- yes Guvo

Guvo- hmm it appears to have been black mana? But who here has made it to this level of mana perfection?

Grace- hmm it has to be one of our grey mama users there are about 56 grey mana users who come here

Guvo- and of them how many are skilled in class and good with curses?

Grace- well there are only about 30 grey mana users that come to my class and they are all skilled

Guvo- hmm we have to do more investigation aside from this we've narrowed it down to 30 people already let's not tell anyone about this yet

Grace- but the student that reported this and your class knows

Guvo- I'll tell them not to tell anyone because of investigation they will listen you're job is to keep the person who reported it from telling other people

Grace- I understand

Guvo went back to the class

Guvo- no one here can tell anyone about the killing that just accrued we have to investigate further

Merlin- Hmm do you know there mana type?

Guvo- Yes we've narrowed it down already

Merlin- and how many have you narrowed it down too

Guvo- wierd question but 30

Merlin- hmm ohh that's about how many grey mana users go to Grace Viches class

Guvo- how did you? Nvm look Merlin don't get involved the curse that killed that boy is something we've never seen before and I'd rather have you in my class than 6 feet under

Merlin- Alright Guvo

A few hours later Merlin heads to Xavier's office

Xavier- OUUU MY DARLING HANDSOME CUTE LOVABLE METLINNNN!!!

Merlin (getting smothered)- Hey Xavier i need your help with something

Xavier- well ask and you shall receive Darling Merlin

Merlin (pulls out a picture)-do you know what type of curse this is?

Xavier- hmm no I've never seen a curse mark like this one..

Merlin- Damnit

Xavier- hey hey you'll be fine I was told about this killing that happened earlier very tragic no one else knows aside from your class and the teachers tell you what

Merlin- yeah?

Xavier- I have an old book on curses you can keep it

Merlin is given a dusty dark book with a red orb in it

Merlin- uhh thanks?

Xavier- show the ball the picture of the curse

Merlin- here book

The book opens and flips to the page with the same symbol

Merlin- whoah wait I can't read this writing

Xavier- nether can I I'm leaving the rest up to you Merlin darling

Merlin- alright thanks Xavier

Merlin leaves

Merlin now in class

Muriel- that book

Merlin- what about it?

Muriel- it's a grimoire why do you have one?

Merlin- it was a gift

Muriel- dose it actually listen to you?

Merlin- yes this grimoire or whatever you called it is actually linked to cryptic magic

Muriel- I have a grimoire too on transparent magic. Wait..Merlin can you even read your grimoire?

Merlin- uhh no haha (Merlin says nervously)

Muriel- That's because only demon blood can decipher grimoires

Merlin- wait you're of demon blood?

Muriel- my name is Muriel Lucifer Merlin my father is catalyst Lucifer he was a demon warrior but was killed by my brother Marshal

Merlin- your brother killed a demon?

Muriel- we'll Marshal had Ancient manas 1 weakness the cold and he just barley was able to kill our father. Than he took us somewhere nice and I became a which because my mother is of royal blood

Merlin- what royal family was your mother from?

Muriel- she was from the Midnight family just like Shaow my mother is actually Shaows sister although my father killed her

Shaow- yeah I'm surprised he's just learning this now my sister Shadow midnight is Muriel's and Marshals mother

Merlin- SO YOUR HER UNCLE?

Shaow- yeah basically my older sister was in her late twenties when she died I was a baby at that time and so was Muriel

Merlin- this just blew my mind

Muriel- I can give you some of my blood so you can read it but only a drop too much demon blood can and will kill Merlin

Merlin- alright

Muriel pikes herself with a toothpick and takes a drop of her blood and places it on Merlin's tongue

Merlin- I don't see a difference in the words

Muriel- just wait a moment

Merlin- WHOAH I …I can read them

Muriel- my job here is done now I gotta get to my gym class I'm about to be late

Merlin- see you later Muriel

Muriel- see you soon

Muriel leaves

Merlin- Alright so this curse was.. an instant poison curse it's supposed to decompose the body in the span of a few days whoah that's impressive.. hmm maybe I can use it on a tree or something and see how it works maybe than I can narrow down the grey mana user who could actually pull this off

Somewhere deep in the castle a boy with white hair and pale eyes walks the halls

Ternity- why hello Mr.Guvo is there a reason you stopped me?

Guvo- it seems a killing has accrued from a dangerous curse we don't know of do you know anything about it…Ternity Vast?

Ternity is a 5,8 white hair white pupil eyes boy about 17 years old with dark grey mana he has a white button up some dress pants and dress shoes and is a top student in the academy

Ternity- why would I know such a thing Lax?

Guvo- hmm you seem to be quite calm.. well if you see anyone with black mana point me to them alright?

Ternity- black mana? No one in this school has black mana…Except of course

Guvo- who Ternity?

Ternity- well you're student Merlin's mana appears to be mostly black and you don't know how his mana acts yet so couldn't it be his mana that caused this killing?

Guvo- Merlin would never do such a thing

Ternity- didn't you think the same of me before I had all those duels Guvo?

Guvo- go to class I'll talk to you again soon

Ternity- (smiling) alright Guvo

Meanwhile Merlin

Merlin- alright I used the curse on this tree and it died instantly but I did get some information out of this..Whoever did this had to have a much stronger mana than just grey mana

Guvo- so practicing curses now?

Merlin- oh no sir this isn't what it looks like

Guvo- I know Merlin I know who did it already but I need you to prove him guilty

Merlin- I thought you said not to get involved

Guvo- you got that grimoire from Xavier?

Merlin- uhh yeah

Guvo- and it actually listens to you?

Merlin- yeah

Guvo- Xavier got you involved by handling you that it now it is attached to you it's a dark grimoire most magic users don't have grimoires at all because it requires demon blood to even read them and it's very rare to come across demon blood as well as grimoires don't usually listen to there owner until they choose there own owners also grimoires are incredibly rare to come across there are only hundreds that exist that grimoire chose you

Merlin- yeah it did huh?

Guvo- so let me guess. Muriel gave you a drop of her blood?

Merlin- yeah(he says all red)

Guvo- well a drop of demon blood is enough to kill even the strongest wizard.. but in your case Muriel is only half demon and your mana was probably strong enough to handle that drop

Merlin- yeah sounds about right

Guvo- Merlin are you ready to beat an ingenious murderer?

Merlin- yes I am

Guvo- good
