As all the students ran back to their dorms, Damien shot ahead of all of them and got back to his dorm quite quickly. As soon as he reached his dorm room he practically tore off his uniform and threw it into his bed and quickly put his combat suit on, picked up his Bisento and ran back where he had to meet Mrs.Quila.

As he was running, he started thinking about Alice. More specifically Alice's ability.

'So she had a Physiology class ability? They exist? Well, looks like I've got an excuse for my devil form now and with the Mutant Beast Fights, I might have a chance to use it...'

As he came to the end of this thought process, Damien was nearly at where he had to be.

He continued running and ignored the rest of the kids in his class who were staring at him as they were only just on their way back to their dorms and Damien was already ready and running back to where Mrs. Quila was.

Damien reached where he had to meet Mrs. Quila and to his surprise, he wasn't the first one here.

As he shook his head he headed over to the person who was here before him. It was Scarlet. As if she knew he was surprised at how she beat him back here, she did something that was extremely out of character for her, she smugly smiled in his direction. For some reason, Damien knew that she wasn't trying to annoy him, but she was just proud that she beat him in something.

'You don't have to try so hard to beat me, Scarlet...'

When he reached Scarlet he started talking to her about if she were prepared to go up against Mutant beasts, she simply nodded and returned the question. Damien simply smiled and replied with a quiet yes.

He replied quietly not because he was scared but because he was so excited he was worried that if he spoke any louder he'd end up shouting and if his expression was anything to go by he truly would end up shouting his excitement out.

Said expression was slowly slipping into one of pure excitement.

As soon as his short conversation with his quiet and indifferent friend ended, Damien heard 3 people running in their direction so he turned round to see who they were. It turned out it was Helen, Michael, and Troy.

This made Damien wonder where Beth was, but soon after he this he saw her appear around the corner with a red face and she seemed to be breathing heavy.

'It seems that she isn't the best when it comes to physical stuff, it's to be expected though, she is a mage...but still, she should work on that, it's a glaringly big weakness.'

Soon after they appeared. Michael, Helen, and Beth were next to Damien and Scarlet, and when they were just starting to talk to Damien and Scarlet, Mrs. Quila started getting ready to speak.

"Okay, before I start taking you to the Arena, if you don't want to fight the beasts you can back out now. Anyone want to?"

As no one said anything or stepped forward, she carried on speaking, "Okay, it's good to know I don't have any cowards this year at least...anyway, I'll explain to you a little about Mutant beasts while we walk to the Arena," as she said this she started moving towards a corridor that had a card scanner on it.

Mrs. Quila took out a red and purple card a swiped it across the scanner and with a beep, the door opened automatically and Mrs. Quila continued to walk while the class followed her.

After she did this, she continued to speak, "Mutant beasts don't have abilities like us Humans, they have incredibly strong bodies, most of them are even stronger than Warrior types in this category, the only people who can outdo them in Brute strength are people with Physiology class abilities," she informed her curious students with a gentle smile on her face before continuing.

"But while they have strong bodies, they aren't the brightest when they're lower ranked, it's their trade-off for such amazing close combat skills," she took a look at the students to see if they were still following before carrying on, "Speaking of ranks, Mutant Beasts are ranked with numbers, from 1 to 10. 1 to 5 are considered unranked beasts, they're only at the strength of unranked Metahumans, like you guys. These unranked ones are what you'll be going up against today but don't think just because they're considered unranked that they're weak, even unranked beasts have a hierarchy of power. Rank 2 or maybe a rank 3 beast could be dispatched by you guys but each rank increase makes the beast even more dangerous. So don't underestimate a rank 4 or a rank 5, they're both just a small way away from being able to fight against a D-Rank Metahuman; Who, if I'm gonna be blunt, could wipe the floor with most of you in a battle."

Hearing what she had to say most students started to get a little worried. But Damien simply nodded his head and thought that if they have strong bodies they will be incredibly useful to his training. He honestly couldn't wait until he went up against the beasts.

By the time Mrs. Quila had finished talking they arrived at a big black door that was at the end of the corridor they entered through the locked door at the start.

She didn't seem to care about how the students were getting cold feet over fighting Mutant beasts and opened the door with an indifferent expression on her face showing the students what the arena looked like.

A massive colosseum was beyond the doors, as soon as the class entered, they heard them - The roars, the screeching, and all the hoarse howling.

They heard these bone-chilling sounds and looked to where they were coming from only to see a cage full pitch black darkness. As humans, they had an instinctive fear towards the dark and as they heard these roars and all other sorts of noises coming out of the cage, they understood why they were instinctively scared of the dark.

Of course, there were people who simply looked at the cage in interest or curiosity instead of fear. Damien was one of them and from what he felt from those roars, these mutant beasts would be quite a challenge.

As he was thinking this, Mrs. Quila called out his name, "Damien, get in the arena, you're going first."

"Ah, okay Mrs. Quila!"

In his excitement, he half-shouted his reply but soon he shook off his excitement and shot down from where they were and into the middle of the Colosseum.

As soon as he got here, he turned around and saw Mrs. Quila with a smug smile on her face which made a shiver go down Damien's back as he saw it. She started messing with a console and pressed some buttons, soon some gates opened up in the Colosseum. What came out, well, the many things that came out were enough to give Damien a shock.

What came out were 3 beasts, one of them was a massive White Wolf, it had pure red eyes and seemed to be filled with rage and bloodlust. It stood at 1.9m tall and had a length of 3m, it was a behemoth. In it's partially opened mouth Damien saw many dagger-shaped fangs and sharp teeth.

Then Damien looked to it's left and saw a massive Polar Bear with red stripes all over its body, unlike the wolf its eyes were black but they honestly looked more intimidating, they looked like black holes that nothing could escape. The bear was even bigger than the wolf, on it's all fours it towered over both Damien and the wolf at 2.5m and had a length of about 4m. Its entire body was full of bulky muscle which was all tensed up as the bear was ready to kill.

Then Damien looked to the right and saw what his real opponent was. It was a white tiger, it had black stripes in the traditional style of a tiger and its eyes were just like Damien's; Bright yellow. Its height was the middle ground between the wolf and the bear as it stood at 2m tall but it was longer than the both of them at about 5m in length. Like the wolf, it had a body full of athletic muscle but weirdly enough it was by far the most intimidating one out of the 3.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

As he was looking at his three opponents he started joking about something.

'Why are they all white? Is this Mrs. Quila's preference or something? Well, it's either that or white-furred animals are the strongest in this world, who knows~'

Mrs. Quila spoke to him, bringing him out of his mental joke fest, "Okay Damien, my disobedient student, you're going up against a Rank 4 [Blood Ice Bear] known for there strength and defense, a peak Rank 4 [Alpha White Wolf] who are known for their ferocious attacks and speed, and finally the most dangerous of the bunch a Rank 5 [Tiger King]. I wish you good luck, Damien, don't let me down!"

'I don't know why but I think I somehow annoyed her. Ah, maybe it's because I broke Troy's arm even after she said not to...Yikes, women are scarily good at holding grudges...'

As Damien got into his stance with his Bisento, the wolf shot at him with speed that even caught Damien off guard.

Within about a second it had already reached where Damien was standing and went to bite his neck. Damien seeing this wildly smiled, his expression twisting with sadistic joy, and sidestepped out of the wolf and sent a kick at its neck. It seemed the wolf didn't think that a human would dodge it and go for its own neck.

'Seems what Mrs. Quila said was true; Mutant beasts aren't very bright at the lower ranks.'

As soon as the kick connected the wolf let out a yelp as it's head shot upwards from the force of the kick. Damien took control of the opening a swung his Bisento at the wolf's body and knocked the wolf away, sending it into one of the Colosseum walls.

Soon after this happened, Damien felt danger and jumped upwards and as he was in the air he saw the white bear charge through where he last was, seeing this Damien got a bit annoyed because he was having fun with the wolf, why'd you bear have to show up?

As he thought about this he started dropping down towards where the bear had stopped its charge and as he was falling he started spinning his body and Bisento together, so the Bisento would pretty much act like a saw blade and cut through the bear with its heavyweight.

As he was falling he started to add physical energy to his arms so his attack would pack more power once it finally hit the bear.

But when it did hit the bear, something surprising happened.

It barely cut the bear. The added physical energy had a big effect and nearly knocked the bear into the ground but the Bisento just couldn't cut through its tough hide, most of the damage it did manage to do was the blunt force kind.

But the bear thought otherwise compared to Damien's disappointment - it was furious that some flimsy metal could even cut a centimeter into its hide let alone the inch that it did cut.

In its rage, it swung its massive paw at Damien and because his Bisento was thoroughly stuck in the tough hide, he was hit and the blow sent flying. Right into the wall of the arena where there was now a Damien shaped hole in the stone wall.

'Well, that didn't work out well,' Damien tried to move but winced in pain, 'Ouch, ouch. Ow, That really fucking hurt. Gonna have to sharpen the Bisento blade up to a suitable level later. Until then, let's do this the old-fashioned way.'

Everyone was looking at the hole where Damien was and they were shocked, this was the guy who was considered King of the Newbloods and he was hit into a wall by a single swipe? Suddenly everyone was uneasy about going up against beasts like these.

But soon, they were all surprised, especially Mrs. Quila.

She originally had Damien go up against Mutant Beasts because she was afraid he was gonna get arrogant because of his recent winning spree and because she wanted to instill some humility in him.

But when she saw Damien pull himself out of the hole he made like nothing had happened, she was shocked. He was just slapped by a massive mutant beast and all that happened to him was a little trickle of blood coming out of his mouth? Is he even a Human?!

Damien slammed his Bisento's blade into the ground, cracked his knuckles and started walking towards the bear and the wolf who seemed to be walking together.

The tiger seemed to not find him worthy of its attention as it just lay at the back of the arena licking its paws. Damien activated a Concentrated Step and shot forward towards the wolf, thinking that it'd be best if he takes out the faster and smarter of the two first.

Seeing his charge at it, the White Wolf growled and started running towards Damien. Damien smirked as he took back the comment about the wolf being 'smart'.

'Truly, what a dumb beast~'

When they reached each other, Damien collected physical energy into his arm and dodged out of the way of the bite aimed at his head. Following the dodge then he got into one of the forms of the Blood Angel Style and sent a ruthless punch at the wolf's throat. When he hit the throat, the wolf didn't even have a chance to make a sound as Damien's fist went straight through its throat and broke its neck.

'Those concentrated punches are very lethal, they seem to let me ignore the defenses of my opponents if the defense is weak enough. Kinda like those bullets I've seen on the internet, all that power focused on one small point causes some pretty serious damage...'

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he shot towards the bear and started to throw brutal heavy punches at its head and body, while dodging it's swiping paws. But his punches weren't having the effect he wanted, even when he used physical energy and concentrated his strength into a small point on his fist, he was barely hurting the bear.

It seemed to have incredible blunt damage resistance and also slash resistance.

'Looks like I have to use that, don't I? Well let's look on the bright side, it's gonna be fun at least.'

As soon as he thought this, he stopped circulating his Devil Qi and undid the art that restrains his Devil Form.

As soon as he did, he felt all the lit Devil Nodes in his body start to go into overtime and they started spewing out energy and going berserk.

He felt his muscles bulk up a little and he felt the claws pierce through the skin on his fingertips. He felt his teeth get longer, sharper and more pointed, and he felt his heart start pumping blood like there was no tomorrow and suddenly, looking at what he was about to fight and feeling the changes in his body, he felt free and unrestrained.

To those looking at him, they saw black and red vapor coming out of his body and then his body's muscles seemed to get a little bigger. But the bigger changes were that they saw the claws that came out of his fingers, they were black and looked like small daggers at the end of each of his fingers. Black markings were all over his body, they looked similar to tiger stripes and after they appeared, his veins started bulging to the surface of his skin.

But instead of them looking blue, they were bright red and seemed to be glowing. When they looked at his eyes, they saw that the usual inhuman looking eyes were now even more so, the Sclera was black and his eyes seemed like they were glowing and his pupils changed into slits.

Towards the end of these changes Damien looked at the bear and the bear flinched back in fear, even the tiger had stopped lazying about and was now intently looking at Damien, as if looking at one of its own kind; A Mutant Beast.

When Damien made eye contact with the bear he smiled and they saw another change, his teeth were all sharp and pointed, especially his canines, they looked just like a beast's teeth.

And then suddenly, while sporting a mad smile, he shot towards the bear at an unbelievable speed, so much so that the place where he took off was cracked and broken. He appeared in front of the bear and the bear swung at him with everything it could.

But Damien simply lifted his arm and grabbed the paw.

"Hahaha! What? You're surprised, aren't you? Stupid bear, in this form, I'm much stronger than you~"

As he saw the confusion on the bears face from its paw being stopped by a small human, he spoke up and mocked the bear but towards the end of his sentence, he started to sound like an animal himself, his voice becoming incredibly hoarse and deep. It sent shivers of instinctive fear down the backs of everyone in the arena, whether they were beast or human.

After his sentence, he simply tugged at the bear and with a little bit of effort he lifted the bear and swung it into the ground with a sickening crunch.

"Hmm? Are you still alive? What a hardy bear!"

After he said this he kept slamming it into the ground like it was nothing more than a common sack of potatoes. He even ripped at it with his claws a few times, taking chunks of flesh off of its body, relishing in the sadistic feeling of his claws tearing the flesh from the bear's body.

The 5 other students watching had pale faces and Michael and Helen looked like they were close to throwing up because of the gore. Mrs. Quila, however, looked at Damien with an interested smile on his face.

Despite his friends looking at him in horror, Damien didn't stop and soon took the bear's arm off when he swung it into the ground too hard and it died. Damien looked about and saw that the area around him was covered in blood and then he saw the looks of fear on his friends' faces.

'Ahh looks like I may have got a little excited and gotten carried away, like a tiny bit, maybe...'

But surprisingly when he looked at Mrs. Quila's face, a face that seemed to scream 'You Monster! I'm definitely gonna train you into an absolute power in the future!' this kind of face scared Damien a little bit but he soon shook his head as he heard a low roar from his side. The Tiger had gotten up and was slowly walking towards him.

"Ohhh seems like the big kitty wants to play now. Come on then, I'll entertain you! Or is it you that's going to entertain me?"

As if it understood that Damien was mocking it, the Tiger let out a defiant roar and starting charging at Damien. Damien saw this and his eyes flashed with battle lust and a small bit of bloodlust, and he soon started charging towards the tiger as well.

'Let's see who's stronger! Me or a Rank 5 beast like you!'
