The Seven Sceptres are people who control the entire world. The sceptres are split into 7 because they need to do seven different duties like Military and Finance and Politics and so on. The Seven Sceptres are barely seen out of their Mountain Temple ontop of the biggest mountain in the entire world of Dystopia. The Seven Sceptres use birds to deliver their letters to the Kings and Emperors and it is said that the Sceptres are immortal because they have been sending letters for over seven thousand years but nobody knows what actually happens near their Mountain Temple because it is near impossible to get up there.

I go to sleep because I am tired of speaking with the three families living with us and Ren and Fyra. It is even more annoying that I had to constantly remind Randall and Kandall that Fyra and Ren are not going to be their wives or toys... I sleep peacefully throughout the night and in the early morning I go to Uldar's office at the big school building. When I kick in the door an elf who is helping Uldar clean up the place freaks out.
Mithneel: "Uldar!"
Uldar: "Yes Minh?"
Mithneel: "The security here is terrible! I want you to fix it!"
Uldar: "How is it terrible?"
Mithneel: "You don't know when a girl is about to be raped in your academy? I had to save two girls from lecherous boys. I already sent out a warning but you better tighten up security. I don't care if some nobles get mad! Infact send the nobles at me and i'll teach them a lesson or two!"
Uldar: "Who were the girls about to be raped!? And who were the boys!?"
Mithneel: "The two girls are Fyra Firestone and Meril Moinar."
Uldar: "Meril!? You mean my precious granddaughter?! They dared to try to defile her?! Who were the boys!"
Mithneel: "I don't know but the boys who tried to hurt Fyra got their hands twisted around and the boys who tried to hurt Meril got thrown out of the room. I sent out a warning by leaving one guy able to talk from the group of people who assaulted Fyra. Like honestly... Tighten up the security around here Uldar. I don't want to start killing aristocrats in plain sight to send out a message that this is a Neutral zone and your rights as aristocrats do not matter."
Uldar: "Will do Minh. Kiyu!"
The elf who is in a maid outfit gets up.
Uldar: "Kiyu! Go ask some of the guards from the guard room to constantly patrol the insides of the academy aswell! Just the walls won't do anymore!"
He turns back to me.
Uldar: "Thank you for pointing that out Minh., I haven't had time to properly look over the Academy because I came here just five years ago and I have been busy filing out a lot of paperwork the Kings and Emperors constantly send me because I am the representative of a Neutral Zone..."
Mithneel: "I could set up a warning and if that doesn't work I could kind of... Make a bigger one."
Uldar: "Please make a warning but do not kill anybody. Judging by the way you talk you would mercilessly slaughter every aristocrat in the academy... And I trust you anyways. If Arti seems to trust you I will trust you. Arti doesn't trust anybody but me and apparently you..."
Mithneel: "Well I better get to my class... I'll set up the warning first though."
I walk out and use my agility to temporarily stop time. Well... It seems stopped for me. It's kind of handy when your agility is so high that when you decide to unleash it all time stops for you. *Ding*
Ha... That is one sound I haven't heard for a very long time.
You have fully mastered a secret Ability.Time Stop has been Mastered.Time Stop ability has unlocked the sub-ability: "God-Time Stop"
What!? I was using a secret ability this entire time.... Well thanks for telling me this...
I close the notification and use fire magic on the air. I slowly but surely write a message that threathens everybody in the academy to stop trying to do filthy things to girls and to boys. I stop using the Time Stop ability and everybody immediatly sees the bright flash of light in the sky while they are going into the academy and read it. Some of them immediatly realize what it means and run inside in fright. The others soon follow. That is when the rumour of a strong being looking over this academy started to spread... Annoying rumour for me because I know who that strong being is... It's me... I go to my class and go to my seat what has scribbles all over it. Are they trying to bully me or something? I also notice a very small scribble on the top right of my now messed up side of the table. It says "Thank you for saving me." and a small heart surrounding it. Must be Meril... The teacher walks in and sees my table and sighs.
Teacher: "Ok class... Let's begin..."
She keeps talking about things I already know except one thing. The Demon Kingdom. A myterious but known kingdom what suddenly appeared on a continent and declared war on every other kingdom. There are only demons living in that kingdom. I took no interest in it because I don't need to know about it right now. The class ends and I head to my second class. I notice that the security has tightened a lot. Good job Uldar. The second class teaches me nothing new again, just basic beginner things I already know... I head to the third class but then I hear screams outside. I look out the window and see... A squadron of Demons throwing guards around and killing them. I break the window and jump out from the third floor where the 2nd class was held. The moment I land the Demons take a jump back and try to fly away. I immediatly use the Stop Time ability and walk up to them and rip off their wings and then decative the ability. They scream in pain when they realize what just happened. I look around and see students running off in all directions and guards trying to keep them safe.
Mithneel: "Can you talk, Demon?"
I look towards a demon what has a small white beard.
Demon: "Yes I can... You being capable of wiping out the world..."
Mithneel: "Why are you here?"
Demon: "Neutral Zone holds a lot of people... We kill..."
Mithneel: "Why are you telling me this?"
Demon: "Because I want to keep my life. I give you information and I can have a bigger chance of living."
Mithneel: "Smart demon. But also idiotic."
I grab the demons leg and crush it. I do the same to the four others.
Mithneel: "I'll have some fun with you guys. I have been restraining myself from... Absoloutely murdering every aristocrat except my two wives who are here..."
I bring out my scythe and put it near one of their faces. It starts to burn and stretch towards the blade. Blood flies everywhere and I see some brain goo spilling out and some mucus and tears. It must hurt a lot... Too bad that all the air around your head is now gone thanks to the scythe. One of them tries to crawl away so I put my scythe on his arm and it starts stretching and bending around the scythe, blood flying everywhere because the veins are exposed. I see a couple black bones pop out and then stretch into the scythe. The scythe consumes all of the matter around the arm and the arm itself. I bring my scythe up and look at the two demons my scythe just basically devoured a little. Guess... I'll make them scream in pain.
Mithneel: "Shouldn't demons have two hearts? Hmm... Let's find out."
I throw one of them onto their stomach and stop my scythe from consuming the body of the demon as I cut their stomach open all the way up to their neck from below the waist. Hmm... I look around and see the spleen and some other things. Some guts pop out when I search for the two hearts around the body of the demon. The demon is still alive screaming at my little search of its body. I notice two hearts right next to eachother on the upper part of the body, left of the right lung. I grab one of the hearts but I don't pull it out. I inspect it instead. Blood strats spreading everywhere because the veins in its body are still transporting blood around. Mucus and tears from the demons head start spreading everywhere as it screams and throws it head around in pain. It cannot move it's body because of the extreme pain. I then pull out the heart and crush it right infront of his face, blood flying everywhere and my hand is covered completely with blood. I decide to kill the demons quickly because it's kind of cruel to torture your own kind. I am kind of a demon by race. I destroy all of their hearts and brains with a single swipe of my scythe.

I look around and see nobody here. I guess they evacuated. Hmm... Yeah... I shall leave a message for them. I put away my scythe and write with ground magic right above the five bodies of the demons I just put into a line.
Message: "Heed my warning everybody who can read this. Do not think about hurting anybody I care about or anybody who is even a single sliver important to me because I shall kill you. And for the aristocrats in this academy... This is what you can expect when you try to do cruel things to girls like trying to rape them."
I walk away and look back once to see blood everywhere and a squadron of men with Uldar infront running towards here at full speed. I walk towards them and Uldar sees the five bodies behind me and freezes in shock. When I reach him I tap his shoulder slightly.
Mithneel: "All done. Do not clean them up, let the students see this. This is the harsh reality of the world. Humans cannot beat demons. But something bigger than a demon can easily slay them. And I am currently at the peak of the world... And I shall save this world from destruction by the hands of aristocrats."
I walk away and look at my clothing. My pure-white uniform is now crimson red. It is actually evenly crimson red so it kind of looks natural on it. I try to use some water magic to clean it off but it just makes the blood go deeper into the white uniform. Guess i'll keep it crimson-red... I use more water magic but the blood goes deeper and the clothing turns more crimson red. I head towards Arti's library and enter it. Arti is there reading a book.
Artimael: "Huh? Minh? What are you doing here? What happened to your clothing?"
Mithneel: "Demons. I can't wash this off..."
Artimael: "Hahaha! You killed demons and forgot to use wind magic to not get blood all over you right?"
Mithneel: "Exactly..."
Artimael: "Follow me to the basement again."
He goes off and I follow him. When we reach the basement he hands me my light armor with a new uniform that isn't my school uniform and tells me to take off my clothing so he can wash them. I do so and put on the uniform with the light armor. It is a pure-red uniform.
Artimael: "That outfit fits you perfectly! It really makes you seem cool!"
Mithneel: "Thanks, I better get back to Fyra and Ren. I don't want them to be worried."
Artimael: "Go then."
I walk out the basement towards my current house and reach it really fast. Fyra and Ren are already there waiting for me. They notice my outfit.
Fyra: "Are you going somewhere?"
Mithneel: "No, my uniform got all bloody so I had to switch into these."
Fyra: "Ah... So it was you who took care of the demons... I wondered who could be strong enough except you. Well... The demons did appear near your second class so I kind of expected you to take care of them... I also noticed tightened security... You spoke to Uldar?"
Mithneel: "Yeah, apparently his own granddaughter was Meril and I helped Meril from some lecherous boys so he really took things seriously."
Fyra: "Good... I don't have to worry about more incidents like that... But why were the demons here?"
Mithneel: "To kill some potential arrogant aristocrats who could potentially band together to probably kill them. Just my guess though."
Fyra: "Well... Let's go inside."
We go inside and I notice the three families are shaking and I see Jae is injured. Randall and Kandall are missing completely. The Hajak's are there and not injured but still shaking. I look at Jae and see she has a quite a big cut on her back but is trying to hide it from her parents who aren't looking at her. I go up to her and pat her on the back and she screams out of pain.
Mithneel: "It hurts right? Let me heal you and don't hide such things from your parents."
She gets up and turns around to look at me and to show her parents what I am talking about.
Mithneel: "Turn around, this might sting a little so... Try to think about other things."
I use some water magic to clean the wound and notice that the wound is cursed. It won't heal. Hmm... Simple curse. I break it with using a anti-curse spell I learned on my travel. I use some nature magic to make the wound heal better and not leave a scar. I then use some fire magic to burn out the bad types of things inside of the wound. She hasn't screamed yet but is clearly crying. She must be in pain right now...
Mithneel: "Fyra, Ren. Prepeare a bed for her. This wound will take a while to heal and this sort of place isn't good for healing anyways."
They run upstairs as I keep healing the wound slowly. I know a couple healing spells for light wounds but this is a pretty big one. I also know one big healing spell but she cannot handle it probably. The big one uses the persons own stamina to heal the wound way quicker.
Fyra: "Mithneel, the bed is ready!"
I pick her up but make sure her wound is still being healed. I look at her parents who are only worried about themselves.
Mithneel: "You are worried about yourselves but not Jae? Hah... I knew that even you people would not look after your daughter..."
I go upstairs and notice Emilia coming up too.
Mithneel: "Emilia, why are you coming with us?"
Emilia: "Jae is my best friend! I need to make sure she is ok!"
I look at both Jae and Emilia. They are both around the same age... Thirteen.
Mithneel: "Fine."
I notice Fyra holding a door and I go in. A bed is prepeared there and a couple others things. I put her down so her wound wouldn't touch anything. She falls unconcious the moment she touches the bed.
Mithneel: "Ren, go find a real doctor. I don't know any healing spells. I didn't need them until now. Fyra, go find Artimael. Maybe he has some things for Jae."
They both run out and I keep using some magic to heal her and keep her wound clean. I use some light wound healing spells and try to close it up a little but the wound is big but not deep. This seems to be the work of the Demons. About an hour later Artimael and the doctor with Fyra and Ren run in. I kept using my magic to heal her and keep her in the best condition I can.
Doctor: "I'll take over from here."
Artimael: "I'll help aswell."
I stop using magic and let them take over. I go outside and to my room. I could stay there but I don't need to. I need to think about doing somthing. I go to the balcony of my room and Fyra and Ren enter after knocking. They come to the balcony too.
Fyra: "Thank you Mithneel... If you didn't notice Jae would've probably died due to blood loss..."
Mithneel: "Her parents didn't look concerned for her. They only thought about themselves probably. As I thought... Most aristocrats use their children as simple tools."
Ren: "What are you going to do now?"
Mithneel: "I don't know. I'm not learning anything new from the school so I could just leave but I won't yet. Guess I'll make it somehow known that do not mess with this academy unless you want to die. I can't just leave a squad of world knights here though. Some kind of barrier? Maybe a barrier could work..."
I use some magic to set up a barrier around the academy. I set it so people from the outside can only enter when they have no intention to kill or rape or take somebody from this school forcefully. That should work... I also set it so that it would give you a small electric shock once you try to rape, kill or kidnap somebody from this school and if you try again it will fry your brain so you can't move until you are healed and that should take about a year under constant medical treatement. Yeah... This barrier should be good. I also set it so it sends me constant notifications if anybody has broken it or not and if somebody has tried anything.
I then talk with Fyra and Ren for a while until it's time to go to sleep.
Fyra and Ren don't go their rooms but instead sleep in my room with me this time. They said that they wanted to feel safer for one night.
I 'fall' asleep but I keep track of things happening in the area with some magic.
The night starts and my hawk-eyed watch is there.
What interesting will happen... I wonder...
