Scarlet
I alternate my gaze between the student and his needles for several seconds before opening my status in the corner of my vision and checking out my mana.

Below half capacity thats not good. Although its better than I expected, so I guess blood regeneration really is speeding up my mana regeneration.
I burn both my blood and the blood in my blood bank at a rapid pace in order to rush up closer to the student, only to barely avoid the needles that end up flying straight past my head. And a cold shiver runs down my spine as I realize that the only reason I was able to dodge them in the first place was because of Predator V.
But I dont let that stall my progress as I quickly regain my balance and use both blood boil and life drain on them, making them stumble with their eyes going slightly wide in surprise. And right as Im getting close enough to them, my shifted hand raised to strike, I feel several sharp pains explode from my back while at the same time, the student begins grinning.
Their grin doesnt last long though, as I use the momentum added from the needles that are no doubt in my back, having stabbed through my jacket and shirt, as a boost as I proceed to drag my claws across their front. Then I cough out a mouthful of blood and fall to my knees.
Shit, this isnt good.
I wearily raise my head to look at the student right next to me, only to find them stepping back while staring at the claw wounds running down their chest with a look of pure shock on their face. As if they werent expecting to get hurt at all or something.
The hell? Is this the first time theyve been injured in a fight?
No, that cant be possible after all, theyre a second year. Most likely. So unless theyre just perfect in every way, which I just proved they werent-
Your claws pierced through a mental barrier that they had covering themselves, Tar answers my questions, interrupting my thoughts in the process of doing so.
Oh.
I cough out blood again before slowly climbing to my feet while feeling a warm sensation flow through my back the moment the dark and dreary clouds in the sky part for a second, revealing the blood moon of Tartarus high in the sky of the magical reality.
A smirk creeps its way onto my face.
Now thats good timing.
The student raises their head from the wound to find me walking up to them, albeit with a little difficulty since the wounds on my back havent healed yet. And all they do is ask, How?
I raise a brow at that before shrugging, raising my shifted arm again, and cutting straight across their neck, making them reach up to it with even more horror in their eyes as they slowly drop to their knees and then fade away.
[You have killed the student known as Nathan Smith. One fifth of his points have now been transferred to you. Your total points now equal 1324 points.]
My eyes widen in shock.
That guy had about a thousand points? How? Were they also hunting other students, or what?
Well, while thats a possibility, it may also just be because his level was high enough that the level 51-100 demons werent too tedious to kill. And they give more points, Tar says, answering my question.
Right. Almost forgot about that.
Id be hunting those demons too, but I didnt bother since I thought theyd be too slow.
Maybe I should start hunting some of them now?
Maybe, but I think hunting students is giving more points at this point, Tar says, and I cant help but agree with him.
Anyways, why was that student so surprised earlier that I broke his barrier?
Because that was a barrier made of mental energy and not mana, Tar says as if that would explain everything.
And whats mental energy?
Oh, right, Tar says, realizing his blunder. Not everyone has mana. Some people have mental energy instead, and that is dependent on a different pair of capabilities than mana is. But lets just say that there are three ways to destroy mental energy. He pauses as I start walking forward again, this time heading in the direction of the inner ring for higher leveled demons and students, even if I wont actually be entering the inner ring. Or even getting close to it. First, you simply have to have an equal or higher willpower capability than the one who the mental energy belongs to and you can shatter their mental energy with a simple attack. Or you need to have a much purer mana than they have. But the last one is the most commonly used one, but also the hardest. Simple brute force of slamming your own magical attack into it and having a lot more mana than the mental energy.
Oh. I guess I qualify for both the first and second then? Or at least the second?
Most likely, Tar answers as I continue walking. The second one at the very least, since you have the highest capability possible for the human systems to test for your manas pure power capability.
True. Anyways, time to try hunting a few higher level demons.
Then I can use the stacks from them to try hunting some higher level students.
