The beast's stripes took on a similar glow to before, it took a step forward before vanishing from Logan's view and appearing a few meters in the air,
'The academy can't pair a trying student with a beast of this caliber, something is wrong' Logan concluded, the black dots that filled his vision dissipating due to the surge of adrenaline flowing through him,
The beast let out a mighty roar quickly followed by a dome of orange fire spreading out from its figure like an enlarging sun,
The dome spread through the room and consumed everything in its path and that included Logan who was still unable to move.
The fire burnt away at every inch of his body, every strand of hair and every fibre of muscle,
Logan let out a scream of agony, he screamed, his voice cracking due to immense strain, but he never stopped,
The blood droplets flew out of his mouth quickly evaporated into nothing due to the immense heat,
The room burned, Logan burned, everything burned. Logan voice slowly went silent as time passed, not because he no longer burned but the hilarity of the situation was getting to him,
'I came to be assessed to have increase my magic so I won't be killed by a random beast. Yet here I am, about to be killed by a random beast because I wanted to avoid it' Logan chuckled before bursting into a loud laugh,
His laugh somehow echoed through out the entire room, drowning out the wild roar of the fire.
The fire suddenly stopped and started converging towards its source, the figure of the beast became visible,
The dome of fire it had released was condensing in front of its open maw, the beast had grey wisps of energy surrounding it,
Logan's body that laid a few meters away from the beast was in a ruin, his clothes had burned unto his melted skin,
His muscles had fried to an extent while some part of his legs had turned to ash and as for the floor and walls of the room, they were red hot yet the golden runes-symbols carved into them shone brightly, unaffected by the attack,
The person in question was not aware of his physical condition as his mind had grown numb to the pain,
"Is it just me or this room is getting a bit cold?" Logan wondered out loud and he was right, the temperature of the room was starting to drop.
Logan let out a slow breath that became visible to him, "How is this possible?" He thought aloud before his focus went on the beast,
The orange dome had become roughly the size of Logan's Dark Shot spell, the fiery sphere slowly enlarged but the beast closed its maw forcing the sphere to compress,
The newly compressed sphere took on a lighter shade and contained far more devastating power, it slowly enlarged forcing the maw of the beast to widely open,
It shut it, repeating the cycle, the sphere slowly lightened until it became pristine white.
At this point, Logan who was melted into the floor had no hope of surviving the attack, in fact how he was still alive was barely comprehensible,
By now, the red hot floor had cooled down so Logan could notice the frost spreading around him, "It absorbed all the heat from its first attack and is using it to perform its second one" Logan surmised, wondering just how painful his death was going to be,
The tiger like beast with the grey wisps surrounding it widely opened its mouth and with force, shut it, sent it flying to Logan,
The sphere flew with scalding heat, it seemed determined to incinerate everything in its path and detonate those that it couldn't.
It approached Logan, the distance between him and absolute, certain death never seemed so short and so far away,
Before Logan could observe his death, space ripped, forming a pitch black doorway with an open palm sticking out of it,
The sphere hit the palm, the latter closed trapping the former,
A figure slowly walked out of the doorway that closed behind it, it was a man. He had a faint muscular build that wasn't that obvious due to the black windbreaker he had on,
The man had shiny black hair with red streaks made into a ponytail, a black hilted sheathed Katana on his back, his windbreaker had red veins that glowed rhythmically almost as though it were alive,
He spent a few moments standing, observing the creature before he grew bored of it, his focus went on his right hand that was closed,
He opened it and a white sphere came into view, he observed it with immense curiosity, muttering strange remarks under his breath,
The beast opened its mouth and soon made another white sphere that it didn't hesitate to fire in the man's direction.
He released a light chuckle, "Fire Magic; Sovereign of Flame" he said calmly with no muttering or hand gestures,
The sphere midway through its flight paused, it hovered for a few seconds before dissipating,
"Oh, you resisted my spell and released the attack. Quite interesting" the man openly remarked.
"I believe this is what you were aiming for?" He asked the beast before waving his left hand, more than twenty of those fiery spheres appeared in an instant and flew to the beast,
Once the spheres got close enough, they turned into concentrated beams of fire that pierced and burned the beast in multiple places,
Grey wisps of energy appeared and healed the creature in an instant, "Really, REALLY interesting" He said, a slight humor to his tone,
"How about I try something different" He begun as the sphere in his right hand dissipated into nothing.
"Darkness-Fire Magic; Unholy Incinerator" The man said as a pulse of energy left his body, the energy phased through the beast who in turn did nothing,
It didn't move, retaliate or even breathe, the thing it did however was turn into ash,
More grey wisps appeared but the man waved his hand in their direction and they flew into a small, inconspicuous ring on his hand,
The man since his appearance finally turned to Logan, " A medical team is on their way" He spoke, his eye fixed on Logan,
His eye as the other one was covered by an eyepatch, the black doorway from before appeared and he walked to enter but not before saying one more thing to Logan,
"See you at the academy" He spoke before walking through, Logan saw the doorway slowly close before he passed out.
