Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: The Ice Girl

The Next Morning As I Arrived In Class I Opened the Door seeing a lot of students About a total of 200 students Half wearing White and Black Uniforms and Half Wearing Red and Black Uniforms.

[Zandor]: "Anyone Who Wishes to fight Me Bring it on I won't Hesistate to Kill you Mercilessly, as The Demon King I will reward those who show that they're worth keeping alive Hahahahahah!!!."

After saying that I waited for their reactions and all I heard was "Is that guy Crazy", "he's probably gone insane", "yea who invited him" Did no one get the joke it was commonplace 2 millennia ago did the jokes also get unfunier in the last 2 Millennia?

After that I went to go sit down at a seat when i spotted Starlight in the far corner by herself it didn't look like she had much friends so I decided to go sit by her

[Zandor]: "Hey why are you sitting by yourself? Do you have Friends Starlight?

In a soft tone and shy face which she was avoiding eye contact by looking down she says

[Starlight]: "I-I don't have Friends…People Avoid me it's like I'm a curse…it's like I don't Belong here at all."

[Zandor]: "And why's that Starlight? Do you know the reason and you're not really a curse, you have beautiful short white hair, your eyes are like the ocean on a hot sunny day on the beach, calm and quiet so there's no way you're a curse."

Her cheeks turn a bit pinkish red after I said those things about her but she also looked relieved to hear me say that but sad at the same time

[Starlight]: "you see whatever your name is I think…Zandor was it? I specialize in Ice magic which means I can Create, Manipulate, and Destroy any ice construct as well as turn anyone or anything into ice if I'm not careful and once I turn something or anyone into ice they can't be brought back that's what I know because I can't really control my magic."

Once she finished explaining I Grinned which she looked confused on why I would grin after hearing her explain

[Zandor]: "You can't freeze everything like you think you can, and also don't worry about you controlling your magic. Meet me at the arena after school and I'll teach you the basics of controlling one's magic power."

[Starlight]: "Wait, you can't be serious! How will you survive? Nobody has survived, everyone I ever loved and cared for is gone because of my stupid inability to control my magic atleast they had an Ounce of magic but you, I don't sense an ounce of magic from you it's like I can't sense you at all."

I could sense her worry, distress, anger, and guilt in those words she is genuinely worried for my safety, back when I was still climbing to the top of the Demon hierarchy Most Demons just wanted me dead and I also Lost Precious Comrades on my way to the top but Their sacrifice wasn't in vain because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be who I am today

[Zandor]: "the reason why you can't sense any magic from me is because I just have a superior level of Magic, you can't sense Magic from people who are far superior than yourself That's always been the Rule."

[Starlight]: "No I thought that you can sense Magic from anybody As long as you at least have the ability to sense magic from the surroundings That's what I read in the student handbook and how do I know that your telling the truth, and even if you are how would you even know that."

She does have a point I can't just reveal How I know that because she would either think im joking, crazy or both and she would most likely think I just read some Book created by an imbecile

[Zandor]: "Just Meet me in the arena after school you'll see if im either lying or telling the truth I don't care which option you choose to believe."

[Starlight]: "Alright then I Guess I will But don't think This means anything….Hmph."

She seems a bit more open with me now even though she still seems timid. I wonder why she's like this. Maybe I will find out but I'll have to hold back just in case I have recovered more power than just one Hundredth of my original strength, because it's taking a bit long for my power to adapt to This Body And I don't want to accidentally Kill her

After Classes, At the arena She arrives In what seems to be her combat outfit it's a shining light blue dress that barely cover her thighs and upper chest, her hair in a pony tail clipped with a light Bluish hair tie

[Zandor]: "alright so shall we begin Starlight I'll teach you how to control your magic, measure your limits, and push you far beyond them"

[Starlight]: "I'm ready Zandor you better not hold back got it i'm in my light blue combat dress I only put this on when I'm dead serious"

I was somehow delighted and excited at the same time hearing her say that I felt the urge to go all out, but at the same time I don't know how much of my original power I have recovered in the one month I have been in this new era

[Zandor]: "Alright Then let's see what your made of Starlight i'm actually quite excited"

Starlight moved first she disappeared and reappeared in front of me like a Speeding Bullet which I caught with ease then I threw her back against the wall but when I looked over where I threw her she was gone

[Starlight]: "Right above you! Your awfully slow, the first time you only caught me off guard but this time I'm definitely going to land a blow"

She kicked down on my head with all her strength creating a massive dust cloud and shaking the entire stadium but when the dust cloud disappeared Her eyes widened in shock

[Starlight]: "wh-what ... .but how?"

[Zandor]: "Simple you failed to land a blow strong enough, I'm impressed in terms of physicality you're fast, strong, and durable but unfortunately not fast, strong or durable enough."

Before she could drawback I grabbed her and then threw her to the ground which shook the entire arena making her cough up some blood which she got back up and got a few feet away from me

[Starlight]: "your pretty durable but now teach me about controlling one's magic like you said earlier today"

[Zandor]: "Controlling one's magic requires for them to reach deep into one's own soul and imagine one's own magic Harmonizing with oneself, Harmonizing with magic is the sole key in controlling one's own magic so go ahead focus yourself Harmonizing with magic."

She takes a deep breath in and out and as she slowly focuses, her aura coils around her and starts to become bigger as it fills the entire arena shifting between light and dark blue, her aura is as cold and as frosty as a winter storm her aura so cold it could freeze the entire arena in just under an hour then it suddenly disappears and as starlight opens her eyes her aura has become much stronger than she was

[Starlight]: "Woah I feel ... .amazing it feels like I relearned Magic, like I became a new version of myself."

[Zandor]: "Indeed the more you focus on controlling your magic the stronger you can become. Magic also strengthens your body, the stronger magic you have the more durable, faster and stronger you are."

She sure is a prodigy she might have talent on the level of even myself, the fact that she only read the student handbook and while she only heard it once proves how much potential she has, in fact if she was born in the same era as me she would have made it into the top 10 strongest in the entire Demon Realm.

[Starlight]: "I see, so the more magic and the better I control it I will become more powerful and skilled with magic and my physicality will improve. Is what I said correct?"

[Zandor]: "Indeed it is but without experience and proper combat training just increasing your physical stats won't do much against someone who has proper physical combat training. Even though you have the better physical stats, if you don't have the proper combat training you can be overpowered easily or outlasted."

But then walls started encasing us in what seemed to be a Box made out of titanium enforced by magic, sealing magic to be precise but not quite sealing magic, it's different but similar. Which then a group of people what seemed to be a group of 15 led by none other than Jake.

[Jake]: "Well Well Well….look what we have here two mongrels using the empty stadium, they should be punished….no they should be executed for using it let alone using it to do some sparing, I was watching you both and it seems you are average not that strong not that fast."

Average? Who does this guy think he is? He is quite arrogant and cocky. He seems like the type who thinks they own everything and is above others. I can tell he is bluffing by saying that we are not strong although you can't judge people by their magic capacity.

[Jake]: "Hey why are you guys just standing there Get the little white hair twirp and I'll deal with this Black haired mongrel."

[Man 1]: "Got it boss, everyone focus on the short white hair kid."

[Jake]: "and I'll make this a little more entertaining for myself, BerionSho."

As he casts the spell Starlight and the group are transferred into another space completely separating me from Starlight so I wouldn't be able to give her any assistance

[Zandor]: "I see you used the Spell Berionsho to separate me from starlight so I couldn't help her fight your group by transferring them into your own separate space, outside the Stadium and yet inside the Demon Realm."

[Jake]: "I see you know of this spell and you are correct, I saw you teaching her the basics of magic control so without you she will lose its inevitable. Besides, it's not like she could win with your guidance. If I were in your shoes I could do so much better."

[Zandor]: "Is that so? Then prove it with your actions rather than your words."

Jake after hearing what I said became irritated and annoyed, but then gained his composure and became cackling.

[Jake]: "Prove it? Hahahahah…your quite funny for a half-breed mongrel I'll give you that But since I specialize in spatial and creation magic you stand no chance, there are infinite possibilities one can do with creation magic, take that and combine spatial magic now go ahead and grovel beneath me worthless trash."

He specializes in those types of magic eh? Since he created a pocket dimension I wouldn't say he's lying but specializing in both creation and spatial magic is hard to believe since one can only specialize in one type of magic, but creating a pocket dimension is a form of both creation and spatial magic.

[Zandor]: "creating a pocket dimension like that is a form of both those types of magic but you don't really specialize in those types of magic, sense one can only specialize in one type of magic, the magic you specialize in is actually Dimensional Magic am I correct Jake."

Jake with a look of surprise and with an arrogant confident tone he says

[Jake]: "I'm surprised that you figured it out but that doesn't change anything. I'll still win even if you Did so get ready I'm coming at you."

Jake Moved first it was as if he were lightning itself appearing in front of me as he came for a kick I went to parry it when he fainted it but then I still caught it and threw him to the side which he maneuvered in the air and came right back flying at me at light speed Bouncing on the air to redirect himself and he Shouts out the words

[Jake]: "GigaDiem!!!!." 

Which he then kicks me with enough physical power that would've destroyed an entire Planet sized dimension If it had fully released it's destructive capability, but I caught the Blow before it could hit Nullifying the Blow's destructive capability. Therefore Nullifying any damage it would have caused in the surrounding area.

[Jake]: "wha…h-how this shouldn't be possible that was but strongest attack I perfected it over the years and he nullified the destructive capability of my blow, doesn't that require an advanced level of precision."

[Zandor]: "you have a good eye and that spell you used. Am I correct that it combines Dimensional magic with one's strength and speed which also enhances one's physical strength and speed by a thousand fold."

This Guy with the black hair seems to know a lot about magic, who really is he, is he some prodigy ... .no he can't be a prodigy, he is a half-breed mongrel.

And that look he's giving, he is a cocky filthy mongrel, he is nothing more than trash on the side of the road. Royals are far superior to half-breeds like him. I refuse to accept that a half-breed is stronger than a royal such as myself.

[Zandor]: "Are you done thinking about your demise to me yet Jake."

Jake with an arrogant yelling tone refusing to like he won't accept any common sense thrown at him says

[Jake]: "I am a god damn royal and I am far superior than you filthy half-breeds I refuse to lose, especially against a mongrel like you!."

Then flames suddenly start to surround him enveloping the entire stadium, then dying down into an aura of flames that is his magical aura, then with a confident cocky tone he says. 

[Jake]: "Did you also know I have Two magic's that I am proficient at? The second one is Fire magic, and the only reason is because a certain someone helped me bypass the certain rule that a person can only use and be proficient in one element."

Fire magic huh? And by a certain someone he means one of the 7 Demon Lords aka my subordinates which I created using my own blood, which each had the ability to use every element. Fire, Wind, Lightning, Dimensional, Darkness, Light, and Spatial including Time Magic.

Each and everyone of the 7 Demon Lords have Infinite Potential via having been created from my blood. And Each time they are destroyed or erased they can always come back as long as I have Blood in my Body, Even if I'm in a different body, my core changes the blood of that different body into my blood so no matter what body I happen to be in They can always come back even if im in a different body.

[Jake]: "Now Time to finish you off!!, Hexatri."

As he chants that a Big ball of fire baked in hot molting lava burning as hot as the sun comes heading my way at lightning speed

Which I use the spell Resubtinordin to redirect his Hexatri right back at him only 10 times stronger and faster, he was unable to dodge and instantly got melted to ash

[Zandor]: "Maybe I should've decreased it to only 2 times stronger, I didn't mean to kill him but I can always revive him as long as his core wasn't destroyed."

I'm surprised that he used the Spell Hexatri. It wasn't very rare 2 millennia ago but from the research I did with Starlight every known magic spell that was common 2 millennia ago is now forgotten magic so him using that spell was quite surprising. Anyway I wonder how Starlight did in defeating his crew. I'm sure she is fine, but Jake was a fool to think that Starlight couldn't.

After it all calmed down, me and starlight stood in front of the Alive Jake and His Group, I used the Spell Reliver to resurrect him which wouldn't be possible if his core was destroyed.

[Zandor]: "Now that things are settled, let's go Starlight."

With a nod of confirmation she followed behind me and right as we were about to leave Jake suddenly shouted.

[Jake]: "Wait!!.....stop right there, let me ask you a couple questions, Zandor."

[Zandor]: "Sure go ahead and ask away. After all, I'm not really in a hurry to do anything or go anywhere at the moment." 

Jake with a curious yet serious tone says.

[Jake]: "first of all how do you know so much about magic spells, second how do you know resurrection magic the spell Reliver was lost 2 millennia ago and third who exactly are you, you just transferred so it shouldn't be possible for one to have such level of knowledge and mastery over combat skills and magic even if you trained before you came to the academy."

After hearing Jake mention resurrection magic Starlight with a surprised expression and confused, curious tone says.

[Starlight]: "Wait what?! resurrection magic I thought that type of magic would be lost, only the 7 Demon lords are the only people in the demon realm who can use that type of magic in this day and age because the demon king is no more, only the 7 demon lords are left to rule the demon realm."

Suddenly a laugh came right out my mouth and they both looked confused along with Jake's group but then in a calm, stern tone I started to say.

[Zandor]: "My beloved Descendants, your ancestor has returned to you did you really think death would be enough to get rid of me, I am the Demon King Zalos the one who massacred the gods, spirits, and even the humans who tried to destroy the demon race."

Starlight, Jake, and his group all looked shocked at the information they just received. The one person who was supposedly the cruel demon king 2 millennia ago was a humble black haired person.

[Starlight]: "Wait you're the Demon King, no wonder you possess such knowledge about spells and magic this changes everything, but if it gets out to the public this could cause some major problems because everyone thinks that the demon king is gone for good."

Their belief in me being the demon king right away is a bit strange because why would they instantly believe that some random transfer student was the demon king, I mean I get that no normal transfer student has the mastery and knowledge of combat and magic. It could just be a trick by me to look like I do have the knowledge and mastery of combat and magic.

[Zandor]: "even if I say that, don't you guys have any thought that I'm deceiving you guys to think I have this amount of knowledge and mastery? I could be lying to you when I said I am the demon king."

Starlight just gave me a calm, happy grin like she didn't hear what I just said about me deceiving her and Jake.

[Starlight]: "Even though it has been said that the demon king was a cruel, power hungry tyrant who could only destroy and could not create, In reality He was a kind hearted person who only thought to care about his subordinates, if anything were to happen to a subordinate, like a cruel fate he would save that subordinate from that cruel fate."

Starlight continued on

[Starlight]: "And plus it was even said that the demon king created and invented the demonic Core which is unique to us Demons, throughout history as more and more demons began to populate, that unique Demonic Core of each individual demon was passed along with other cores that were mixed in with the unique demonic core. When I felt your magic power after you released a bit of it my core responded to it, it felt like the original Demonic core only wielded by the Demon King himself."

I was surprised about how her core felt my magic when I released a bit of it, but it was true that I created and invented the unique demonic core of demons which, the only other ones that possess a perfect core were the 7 Demon Lords my direct subordinates i created with my own magic power before I decided to ask the spirit mother, goddess, and hero for peace.

[Zandor]: "I see….and you intend to follow me until I plan to reveal myself Starlight"

She bowed down on one knee with her head down as well as Jake and his followers also bowed down in the same way Starlight did.

[Starlight]: "Yes….I do my liege, but not just me Jake and his gang does as well want to follow you and let me be correct about this, we will all follow you for the rest of eternity until we die, after all you are the demon king, without you the demon race wouldn't have come into existence."

[Jake]: "She's right, but ... .how in the world did you come back? I read that the holy sword was blessed by the Gods and had the capability to kill and destroy your core permanently."

What he means by that is because I'm the founder of the unique Demonic core. I have the Original Demonic core which even if destroyed It would still come back, The original Demonic aka my core has the unique Immortality trait, making it even if it's somehow destroyed it could come back right after its destruction. The 7 Demon Lords each have a Perfect Demonic core which means they don't age and can regenerate as long as their core isn't damaged or destroyed.

[Zandor]: "Did you really think Death could stop the Demon King, if it was that easy to get rid of me it would've worked the first time it happened."

[Zandor]: "And you two seem to know a lot about the past, why is that?"

Starlight and Jake with a confident tone says

[Both in unison]: "We Read a Lot of books about the past, It's in the library about seven miles north of the academy."

[Zandor]: "Seven miles north huh? You both run seven miles to the library, impressive stamina and endurance."

Starlight and Jake look at me like I am crazy.

[Starlight]: "You idiot, I don't run seven miles, we use a magic teleporter, you dumb muscle head!."

Magic teleporter huh at first i thought they ran seven miles but it turns out they use a magic teleporter, even back then magic teleporters were uncommon maybe even rare but not impossible to do most demons would just run to the place they were going because a lot of demons weren't lazy like most of the demons in this era.

[Zandor]: "you have a lot of guts calling me a muscle head Starlight."

Starlight with a frightened and terrified look and voice says

[Starlight]: "i-i'm sorry I didn't mean to please f-forgive me…"

Anyway now the situation between Starlight and Jake has been settled. I wonder what's on my list next but no doubt about it, I can feel something ominous right around the corner. I can deal with the ominous feeling later, right now I just want to see how much more peaceful the world has become in 2,000 years with my absence.

[Zandor]: "Starlight, Jake lets go back to the academy. It's almost morning, we don't want to be late do we?"
