[tomorrow]

The mother of Xiao Qiangwei was walking in a market to buy some food for her dinner, she bought a bit of bread, water, some meat and vegetables, and then she left the market with a bag in her hand, over her left shoulder there was the ice bird of her son. It wasn't a normal bird like her son would send, instead, it was a majestic ice phoenix.

She would always take it with her when she was outside, because she can't separate herself from it, and it was cute when it rubbed its ice head to her cheek, she had one because she could send messages to her son.

Right now she was walking at home wondering how her son was doing with Stella, his roommate, until she found a black van with a demon in flames drawn over it parked in front of her house, she was a bit suspicious about it.

Until a rough hand came in front of her mouth, covering it, while someone was trying to destroy the ice phoenix, but it was too fast and flew away.

So the men were taking her inside the van after they tied her up and drived away. Meanwhile, the ice phoenix flew away towards Xiao Qiangwei as fast as it could to warn him about what happened.

[40 minutes later]

The phoenix travelled more than 50 kilometerns in 40 minutes, and reached Xiao Qiangwei's room, right now Stella just started showering while Xiao Qiangwei was drinking beer, when he heard a knock in his window and found the ice phoenix he sent at her mother for messages, he didn't see any letter over it so he was a bit confused, and opened the window, letting it enter.

Then the ice phoenix started melting until it became completely water and floated forming a bubble, where Xiao Qiangwei started seeing things, this was Ice Phoenix's eye, a sub-profound skill of the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon, it was a skill he got in the god's realm that would use a small ice phoenix as a drone, and would send what the ice beast seen to the creator when it melted, just like now.

Xiao Qiangwei started seeing everything from the ice phoenix's point of view.

[5 minutes later]

he started seeing a scene that made him incredibly angry, some men took away her mother in a van with a demon in flames drawn in it.

Xiao Qiangwei: 'Those scumbags are dead!'

then he unconsciously started to use the Devil Origin Orb, and everyone in the academy started feeling a bad sensation, especially Stella, who was the most near, she felt as if she was pierced from a blade in her throat, and couldn't even talk, so she slowly got out from the bathroom, with a bathrobe around her, and seen Xiao Qiangwei covered in a completely black aura.

Xiao Qiangwei didn't noticed her, and started walking outside, Stella couldn't follow him because she was only in a bathrobe and was petrified from the aura he was emitting.

Ikki and his sister got out from their room and the moment they seen Xiao Qiangwei, they stopped moving, and when they tried talking, nothing came out.

Suddenly Xiao Qiangwei disappeared, while leaving a crater in the ground, and Ikki, Shizuhu, and Stella kneeled in the ground and started breathing heavily since that dark presence disappeared. Some minutes later the director came in the dorm and seen the situation.

Kurono: What happened?

Stella: I... I... I don't know... I was doing a shower when I felt like I would die right at that moment if I took a step, and Qiangwei released a black aura arou-

she was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei appeared in front of the director, shocking her and everyone else, and was still releasing the same black aura he had before, scaring the director too.

Then Xiao Qiangwei looked at her eyes, and what she seen frightened her, his eyes weren't anymore amber, but they were completely black and cold, piercing in her soul like a sword.

Xiao Qiangwei: Where is the Fire Demon?

when he talked, his voice was a bit distorted, scaring everyone near even more.

Kurono was trembling, even if she was one of the strongest Blazers in the world, the feelings that Xiao Qiangwei was giving her, were completely different than anything else she felt, she already knew about the 'Noble Art' of her student, and that scared her even more since he was immune to her abilities to control time.

Kurono: T-t-they... a-are..... a-at south... f-f-f-from here...

Xiao Qiangwei didn't asked anything else and disappeared again, now even Kurono was kneeling in the ground fron fear, and sweated bullets while breathing heavily.

Stella recovered from the shock and just noticed a water ball in the room, when she walked towards it and touched it, she got the same vision her roommate seen, and recognized the lady in it as his mother, she seen everything, even when she was kidnapped, and understood everything.

Stella: Ms. Director! The Fire Demon's gang kidnapped Qiangwei's mother! This is the reason behind all this!

Kurono: What?! Those guys... They unleashed hell...

Ikki: Ms. Director... What do you mean?

Kurono: Xiao Qiangwei always loved good friends and family, and right now the Fire Demon, a gang infamous in certain places, just kidnapped his mother, the person he loves the most, if something bad happens to her, I don't know what would happen, but death would come.

Ikki: What?! Then what can we do?

Kurono: we can just hope to God that his mother is unharmed before he arrives there...

Stella: Qiangwei... I will follow him!

Kurono: Wait! Don't go, it's not safe!

Stella: Ms. Director, you told me that I should protect him, and this is what I am doing now! I will go and make sure that Qiangwei comes back unharmed and calmed down.

Kurono: *sigh* Then go. I will give you permission to use your device.

then she rushed in the room and hastily dressed up, and then she left while Ikki, Shizuhu and Kurono were still recovering from the aura Xiao Qiangwei released.
