Chapter 2 - What A Life

Story Arc: Vanguard Acadeny Arc

No pov:

As Drex made his way to school, he couldn't help but notice corpses of devils littered here and there. Of course it had to be normal considering the fact that devil activity has risen in recent weeks....

'Looks like the hunters are at it again'

he thought; but before he could finish thinking, he stepped on a devil corpse which made a 'pop' sound as some blood shot out of it. He stopped, bent down to take a closer look at at the devil and doing that made him remember a friend of his who left his school to join the hunters because she was finally able to release her devil energy. With a sigh, he inwardly wished there was something he could do about all this; not only to aid the devil hunters but to also stop children from experiencing the same trauma he went through... That reminded him as he kept walking; today was eight years that his parents were killed by a devil right in front of him. Thinking about out how powerless he was made him blame himself and he kept wishing that there was something he could have done about it.. He didn't want to think about it much simply because whats done is done. With a sigh he went inside the school as he already reached about 10 minutes ago.

Meanwhile in another part of the city a devil that was hunched over a corpse he devoured was speaking seemingly talking to some other devils had a dubious smile on its face as it spoke:

"This isn't the right place either. We have been searching for weeks but i feel we are getting close. We would open the portal and free the devil that will ravage humanity and bring forth the age of devils.."

With that he and every other devil present leaped away from that area.

In another area, a couple of people were passing by.. One of them wearing a ninja mask with a sword strapped behind him, another wearing a simple jumpsuit but had guns on his back and hips. These two individuals were scouting the area when one of them decided to speak.

" So Vax what do you think we should do when we encounter this devil?"

The person being spoken to stayed silent.

"Thought so.. You don't talk much its understandable.."

They both reached the area the devil just left and upon seeing the half eaten body,

" Thought so; Jax over here.

We better let the team know about this...."

But they were interrupted by a sudden explosion in the distance and wasted no time in rushing over there.....

Drex POV:

Its already past noon and am happy I was able to get some school work done.. I was scrolling through my phone since there was nothing else to do.. I'm 17 years old and i dont have much friends let alone a girlfriend. Although there was this one girl I was really close to but ever since she became a devil hunter I haven't seen her so i concluded that either she died or she got transferred.. The hell would I know am not a devil hunter and I don't think I'll ever be. Life can really fuck you up; you loose those close to you and live in fear of losing more people. Shit gets sometimes..

At that moment some of my classmates passed by giving me one of those creepy ass looks and snickering to themselves. I instantly understood what they met and reached for my hair. Though am not exactly bad looking, the way my brown hair lazly spread across my face made me look weird as if i don't take care of myself. I sigh and go back to my phone silently praying for the day to be over sooner....

But at that moment the school alarm goes off and i hear someone shouting

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!"

Welp here we go again...
