The Great Demon System

Chapter 271: Training With The Griffiths (2)

Mason finished his chant and took a deep breath, looking at the two sitting figures below him who were clearly struggling with tender eyes.

After all these hours of training, he could finally relax. It was not that he was tired, no, far from it, it was simply due to him keeping up his seriousness since he was not at all used to showing that side to his daughter.

"Ryan, how do you think she's doing?"

He lent back on the wall, grabbing and drinking a metallic seethrough water bottle.

"Jayden's very rusty indeed… She has a long way to go… I was curious to see how the boy would stack up to her but that can wait for another time or when they both wake up,"

"Yeah, I'm very curious to see that too. But, they should be experiencing internal struggle for the next 2 hours or so, so we must wait until then,"

He nodded back to his butler taking another chug of water.

"Anyways, in the meantime, are you up for some chess?" Mason continued, making a large smile appear on the face of the old butler.

"Mason, you have yet to actually beat me in a game of chess. Have you forgotten I'm a super grandmaster who's ranked top 10 in the world?"

Mason laughed at Ryan's words before continuing.

"Doesn't mean I can't beat you!"

"Very well my lord, it shall be done then. But I won't be lenient with you, expect me to laugh at every blunder you make,"

"Do whatever you want! We'll see how it ends this time!"

Mason continued, pulling out a chessboard from his storage ring and placing it on the bench that Ryan was sitting on.

**************************************

"HAHAHAAH! Queen C3 is mate in 1! How did you miss that!?"

Ryan could not hold in his laughter, just like he promised as he slowly and casually held and dragged his queen over in that direction.

"And that's checkmate!"

Mason's eyes grew wide as he held his hands over his head that was under his laughing subordinate.

He was by no means bad at chess, but after losing so many times in a row, his brain deteriorated to such a level. It just went to show how talented and smart his own top butler was.

They had played non-stop rapid games and completed seven-teen matches, and out of those seven-teen matches, not one time did he win; for a matter of fact, not one time did he even get close to winning.

Yet, despite that fact, Mason was not yet ready to throw in the towel, that was simply the kind of man he was.

"One more ti-!"

However, before he was able to say what he had to say, the ground suddenly began to tremble and the chessboard the was previously on the bench fell on the ground, scattering all of the pieces far and wide.

When they looked over at the source of the disturbance, they noticed Moby who was still sitting cross-legged, now with a black aura shooting up to the ceiling, surrounding and consuming everything around it.

Looking closer on him, small spots of black energy were moving around him in obscure ways like it was trying to form something only for it to fail.

The aura was unlike anything they had ever seen before in their life, part of them even doubted that it was mana, but if it weren't mana then what was it? Mana was the only explanation so they had to stick with what they knew.

Mason's eyes immediately shifted towards Jayden who was sitting directly next to him and noticed that she was completely unaffected, making his heart feel more at ease.

"Mason! Should I stop him?! What's going on!?"

The butler dropped everything he was doing and stood up ready to knock Moby out.

"No! Leave him be… I've never seen this happen to such an extent, but it's necessary for his evolution… His inner spirit is not normal… It's an absolute monster… It seems like the rumours about him might be true after all..."

The worry and surprise on Mason's face were no more, instead replaced by excitement and anticipation.

And so, not long after the aura sprouted, it immediately subsided, like a massive wave going back into the ocean it came from…

Slowly, Moby opened his blurry eyes and checked his surrounding… Looking to his left to see Jayden still sleeping and directly under him to see the black king from a chess set right underneath his feet.

"Hmmm?"

*Ding*

Note from Avilia: I have no clue what the hell this is or what the hell this does, probably some sort of mini form from when you transformed against that shalker. You're on your own to figure this one out...

**************************

Moby's eyes suddenly sprung forth, the blurriness immediately going away as he read what Avilia had to say.

However, before he was even able to take everything in, he was interrupted by a clapping sound from his right, making him put everything that he just saw to the back of his mind and worry about it at a later time.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

"Wow! That was absolutely amazing! What exactly was that?"

He then turned around to see Mason slowly approaching him, so he decided to partly tell him the truth.

"If I am being honest, I have no clue what just happened… It's hard to explain… My body feels both odd and exactly the same as before,"

"I see,"

He nodded back before he continued talking.

"You have something amazing inside you… Just know that! I'm sure you'll grow up to be one of the elites! All you need is hard work and determination! You've already accomplished more than 99% of people your age so that's a good first step!"

Moby laughed along with Mason, feeling glad in his subconscious that he did not do anything drastic to give himself and his identity away.

"Hmmm…"

Suddenly, another voice entered their ears, one that they could both immediately recognize.

"Jayden! How was it?"

Mason asked, watching her scratch her eyes and yawn before responding in a tired voice.

"I think I did well… I managed to somewhat resonate with my inner spirit…"

*Clap*

"That's more than good enough for the first day of training! Now, we only have around 30 minutes left before I have to go do my many duties so, in that time I want both of you to spar! Now is no time for rest! You just slept for two hours! What more could you want!?"

"Yes sir!"

They both yelled, immediately standing up and taking a fighting position towards one another.

"Now! We want a fair, skill-based fight! No weapons! No abilities! So! Both of you suppress your power levels to 10,000!"

"HUH!? But I thought that was impossible!?"

They both blurted out looking at Mason with a hint of worry in their heart, had he figured out they were demons and could suppress their power levels?

"*Sigh* That's just some fake news always spread around school! Of course, you can suppress your power levels! It just takes advanced training which now that I think about it none of you have… So! Take these instead!"

Out of a storage ring, Mason pulled out two metal bracelets and handed one to each of them.

"These should be able to suppress your power levels for you. As long as you don't go out of your way to break them, then you should be fine,"

Moby nodded and looked at the bracelet in his hand, putting it on only to notice his power-level plummet, a feeling similar to when he suppresses it with demon energy but still slightly different.

"Good! They seem to work fine! Now on my mark! You two fight! Go all out! Just because you're love birds doesn't mean you could go easy!"

They both did not respond and simply stared at each other with a smile ready to brawl.

"Okay then!"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Start!

As soon as Mason gave the signal, they both immediately disappeared from their spot, and in the next instant, the victor had already been decided, 1 standing and 1 on the ground.

It was simply not even close, it was like watching a master go against a complete amateur who had never trained in their entire life.

Although it ended so quickly, Mason and Ryan managed to see exactly what happened… A malicious counter slamming Jayden on the ground as soon as she attempted to punch. One that looked brutal but had no real force behind it like he was not actually trying to hurt her. Such a level of control was incredible… They could not believe their eyes.

"And that's it! The winner is Moby Kane!"

As soon as the match was declared, Moby immediately when over to help Jayden up, a gesture that put a massive smile on Mason's face.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Don't worry! I'm completely fine!"

He put his hands out and lifted her up back on her two feet.

"Amazing! I've seen you fight before but only now did I recognize your martial arts prowess! Maybe that was because all those other times you were facing opponents with abilities who were way out of your league in pure strength! Where did you learn those moves?"

Moby smiled tenderly remembering his roots before responding.

"My Late parents used to run a dojo. I was trained in the way of the blissful demon from a very young age and had been training non-stop ever since,"

'Hmmm? I think I've read that name somewhere…'

"Hmmm… 'the way of the blissful demon,' is that the name of your dojo?"

"Yes," He nodded back deeply.

"Interesting… How about you and I have a rematch? Last time it wasn't even fair and I still lost to you… So why not make it fair this time? I'll suppress my power level down to yours just like how you did with Jayden and we can brawl! I'm sure It will be good training! So, what do you say?"
