Yuri manages to go back at his dorm before the light hits.
'There's no sun....' He thought, while looking at the sunless sky.
The greyish-sky, the thick clouds, as if it is gonna bring rain any moment. The cold air, hitting his skin is so gentle, he can sleep outside again right on the wet ground.
"You can still continue your sleep." Someone from behind suddenly talked. The voice of a women.
He tilted his head a little bit. Just enough so he can look at the back direction and see who just talked to him.
"Are you...."
"My name is Selena Moonscent. Please forgive me for being late for a week. Personal matter arises when i was on my way here, please pay no attention to it." She politely says, trying to lessen the question Yuri can ask.
"Today is Tuesday. The president had announced that all classes will be suspended until friday to avoid any possible victim of the storm. You are not here yesterday, almost all day am i right?" She ask while bowing her head.
"...." Yuri just looked at her and didn't give an answer and just looked at the neatly folded uniform she was holding on near her chest.
The other hand is holding a basket of fresh vegetables.
"Ah.... This is for you, Young Master Yuri. This is the official Academy uniform. It was supposed to be distributed to the students a day before the semester started but due to a problem that erupted, it took a week before it was done."
"...." Yuri didn't answer but instead, he looked at her direction and go towards her, taking the uniform with one hand and then go straight inside.
She lifted her head after seeing Yuri go inside and then walked towards the house to put a cover on the basket, then proceeded to go to the back and then take a broom to do her work.
Meanwhile, inside his room, Yuri sit on the bed and then proceed to lay his body.
He's not tired. In fact, he was never energetic like this his whole life.
'Is it because i go inside my own head?'
The location of where he goes whenever he sleep and met Hestia is non other than his own mind.
The proof of this is when he was feeling down, the weather inside is bad.
Though when he finally felt a little better, the weather becomes a little better too, until to the point where it got bettter until his mood softens and his mind even more relaxed.
'....' Just then, Yuri decided to calm his head. He erases all of the things that was bothering him.
He focuses on the flow of his mana, every single veins. Until he felt something inside him.
A darkness erupted at his heart, covering it whole.
".....!" Though shock, he kept his mind calm.
He opened his eyes, hours have passed. It was already 10 in the morning. He pushed the curtain near his bed, expecting to see a sun. Even though he knows that there's is not gonna be a single shine coming from the sun, considering the cold air surrounding him, he still hoped.
'I guess denying reality really hurts.' He thought.

'Only 5%? I guess that's reasonable..... Even though i managed to kill Neev, i didn't get covered in his blood.'
"My stats barely increases too....."
Unlike the times when Yuri was literally being pushed to his absolute limits, this time, he uses all of his but not to the point where he is in life-or-death situation.
Yuri's body is not used to being at his limits. He fought some people back on earth, but not to the point where it lasted even 3 minutes as it was always stopped by other people, or he just decided to not be bothered and walk away from trouble.
'The first time i did that, i realized that staying away from trouble is peaceful.' The first tine he did that was when he was at the age where he was supposed to be playing with other kids outside.
At a very young age, he learned to be alone. Up until now.
"Hmph...!" He stretches his arms, grabbed his sword and then headed outside.
Dark Gathering Sword Arts, First Sword:
As soon as he stepped outside, he unsheathed his katana, and then dashed and stabbed the air, releasing lots of dust and a trace of the sword to the ground.
The moment he stabbed the air, he slashed at the same spot 5 times.
Stealth Bloodied Sword.
'The name doesn't matches the form....'
The first sword releases a lot of dust to thw air and a trace to the ground. He intended to create the sword technique in order to finish his opponents much more faster and so that he can leave without anyone knowing.
But because it leaves to much traces, he couldn't perfected it yet.
Just when he was about to perform the second sword, he stopped and then looked at his back. He saw the maid earlier.
She was standing by the front door of the dorm, her hands infront of her. She bows to him and say "I have cooked a meal for you as an apology for being late. I hope that it is to your liking."
She stepped aside after that "...." while Yuri looked at her and then sheathed his katana.
He proceeded to head inside and looked at the table. There was a plate with colorful vegetables. The aroma filled the room, the heat inside from cooking it and the look of the appetizing meal.
He sat down to the table, took the spoon and then scooped up some vegetables. Selena was just standing beside him, looking straight at the vegetable on his spoon.
She looked confused, as Yuri was just there looking to the spoon with vegetables for a few seconds now.
"Is there a prob--"
SWISH!
Yuri's katana suddenly sent her head flying, his sword covered with her blood.
Her head fall to the ground, as he saw the look at Yuri's eye. His face was covered in darkness. His eyes were glowing brighter, with the color of very dark amethyst.
"Hey."
"Gasp!"
Suddenly, she was back to reality. She touched her neck, looking at her back and even looking Yuri. She was sweating a lot, nervous about what she just saw. Her red eyes that turned to white now returning to it's original color.
"You look pale." Yuri says, dropping the spoon from his hand back to the plate.
"U-uhm" Stuttering from nervousness, she tried to move backwards but then falls to her knees.
Yuri took her hand and then to her waist, helping her stand and then sit to the chair beside him. He can feel her trembling from the fear of the illusion he showed her.
[False Perspective:
Covered the target's/s eyes in darkness and showed them a 2 second illusion. It doesn't matter whether the target is physically stronger than the user, as long as the target is in the range, it would work.
The mana usage will depends on how much of the target's surrounding was changed and on how detailed the illusion was.
Range: 50 Meter.]
"You saw it, right?" He said, lookibg straight at Selena who right now is trying to look away from Yuri.
"I would kill you if you try anything funny." He said, both his eyes glowing and covered in purple aura.
"D-do you want me to cook another mea-"
"No. I'll eat this." He said and then take the spoon back.
"I-I'm sorry if i made you uncomfortabke. Please forgive me..." She said, now obviously looking away from Yuri.
"Just don't try anything. I've been on high alert these past few days, that's why i did that."
"Don't report this and i will leave you alone." He reassured her, seeing as she was trembling too much.
"I understand....." She says, standing back up and standing by Yuri's side again.
"Thank you for the meal." Yuri stand up and then go outside again, closing the door and leaving Selena behind.
After a few seconds of him leaving, she fall back to her knees. She put her right hand near his chest and clenched her shirt tightly.
Her face blushing from what happened.
'I've never felt that before... Duch sharp gaze... A murderous intent even more terrifying than mine....'
She smiled a little, then stand up and looked at the window. She didn't see Yuri anymore.
'I...
....Want him....'
