The moon was out in the sky and there were barely any clouds in sight.Ivankov was at home while enjoying the rare view with a radio playing classical music in the background.
"Wonderful night don't you think?" Ivankov hummed almost absentmindedly.He turned back and saw Frost sitting impatiently in a dark corner of his room.
"Quit wasting my time Ivankov.I've got better things to do than listen to this trash with you"Frost complained.Ivankov just smirked in turn.
"You know Andrea Torrez right?"Ivankov asked while skillfully preparing a cup of coffee for himself.
"Who doesn't."Frost replied in a confused tone."But how does she have anything to do with why you called me here?"
"We found her son."Ivankov said casually.
Frost scoffed in annoyance."I'm aware of that.The kids a first year student living with Gangu back at 'Helryn High' if I'm correct" Frost stated.
"You're correct."Ivankov said and paused for a moment before continuing"The problem here is...There are two of them"
"Bullshit"Frost muttered.
"I'm not lying Frost.His names Diego Torrez and I just enrolled him in the school."Ivankov said.He took a long sip from his coffee mug and walked back to the open window.
"Well...what's he like?"Frost asked with piqued interest.
"He's a rowdy kid.He's impulsive and reckless but definitely not stupid.Maybe he wasn't like that before but right now, he's a real piece of work"Ivankov replied and took another long sip of coffee.
"I'm going to see him"Frost announced and abruptly got up.
"He's been through a lot today so I don't think that's a good idea"Ivankov cautioned but when he turned around again,Frost was gone.He a quick sip of his coffee and stared out the window again.
Frost on the other hand didn't take long to find Diego's room.The hinges were broken and that struck him as odd.Had someone tried to break in?Frost quickly shook off the thought and sneaked in with ease.Diego was already asleep by that time and when Frost saw him,he scowled.
"He looks pathetic"Frost spat out in disappointment.He pulled his katana out of it's sheathe and pointed it at Diego.It's hilt had a lot of ancient symbols carved into it and when Frost said"Will hell be angry at the loss of this boy's life?"the symbols glowed a deep shade of red.
"Probably not.But I wouldn't want to end his life just yet.He seems to have potential"A voice spoke from within the katana.Frost listen and reluctantly sheathed the katana.
He sat down on a small work desk beside Diego and watched him.For the next couple of hours,Frost did nothing but observe him and he committed every detail and flaw Diego had into memory.Morning rose and Diego along with it.The morning went just a you remember,up to the point where Diego's throat was at the mercy of Frost's katana and that ominous line..."My name is 'Frost Wheeler'...I'm a demon...just like you..."
Those words caught Diego off guard.He looked back at Frost with cold eye's and the tension in the room continued to grow until eventually, Frost withdrew the blade from Diego's neck.
"I'm not your enemy and I have no intention of fighting you."Frost said and sheathed his katana.
"You made that very clear when you put your sword on my neck"Diego replied sarcastically.
"It's a katana"Frost correct and sat down on the desk once more.
"What do you want?"Diego grumbled.
"I want you to come with me."Frost replied.
"Where to??"
"I don't know either"
"I'll pass on your generous offer."
"Let me be more clear... you're coming with me..."Frost's words left no room for argument.
"And if I say no?"Diego challenged.He held his ground even as Frost scowled.Frost stood up and held the hilt of his katana and Diego slowly lifted his fists in response as he was prepared for a fight.One moment,Diego was in his dorm preparing for a fight but in the next moment,he was on the ground with the same katana pressed on his throat.Frost had pinned him down so fast his body didn't even realize what was going on.
"The...the hell?"Diego muttered as he looked up at Frost."Fine...you win..."Diego muttered begrudgingly.Frost pressed the katana harder on his neck for a few more seconds before sheathing it for the second time that morning.
"We have a lot of places to be and a lot of things to talk about.Get ready because we're leaving in ten minutes."Frost said.Frost watched as Diego reluctantly did as he was told.It didn't take long for Diego to finish everything up.A quick shower, fixing his red hair and after everything,he put on his red jacket.
"Before we go anywhere though...tell me why you're here?"Diego finally questioned.
"I want to take you under my wing.Someone with your blood isn't meant for a life as bland as this"Frost answered and walked out of Diego's dorm without another word.Diego was confused and he let out low groan.
"Sorry but,I'm not looking for a mentor"Diego said as the pair walked down the hall.
"I wasn't asking"Frost retorted.
"And I'm supposed to be okay with that?"Diego asked.
"You are."Frost replied.
"And what do you mean by'someone with my blood' "Diego asked while making air quotes with his fingers.
"Correct me if I'm wrong but,your mother is Andrea Torrez"Frost said.Diego flinched at her name but then he nodded.
"So she's really still alive huh..."Diego muttered quietly and smiled.
"She's more than alive.She's the-"Frost's words were cut off when a girl suddenly screamed at the other side of the hall.Both Diego and Frost froze and turned to face her.A deep blush grew on the girls face and she pointed at Frost with a shaky finger.
"You're...y-you're..."The girl stuttered in an attempt to say something and finally,it came out."YOU'RE FROST WHEELER!!!"Her voice was loud and in a few seconds,the pair could hear numerous footsteps rushing in their direct.
"We're getting out of here."Frost said and grabbed Diego by the collar without warning.He dragged Diego out of the hall through an open window and jumped out after him.
"What the hell was that about?"Diego scowled.
"Ignore them.Lets go"Frost said, leaving Diego confused.
The pair walked out of the school and Diego noticed a car parked at the gate.It was Ivankovs car and for once,Diego felt happy to see him.They approached the car and we're met with Ivankov who was busy writing something in a book.
"Frost here's going out on a mission kid.I want you to go with him."Ivankov said without looking at them.Diego's hostility towards Ivankov rose again at those lax words.
"There's no way in hell that I'm going out on a mission with this guy!"Diego argued."He seems just as crazy as you and I value my life."Ivankov and Frost looked at Diego like he was the crazy one instead.Ivankov sighed and closed the book he was writing in.
"Frost's the strongest student in the school.Someone with his power and status can help you get stronger and he's the only one who has the same powers as you do."Ivankov said like he was scolding a child.Diego groaned loudly in frustration and turned his gaze towards Frost.His memories went back to when that girl screamed his name and all those other students rushed to him.If he really was the strongest,it would explain why that happened but still...Frost wasn't really someone he wanted to be associated with.
"How long will I be with him for?"Diego asked as he finally accepted the situation.
"Maybe a month or two."Frost answered and Diego's eye's widened in surprise.
"It won't be that bad kid.Frost has his perks He's not always grumpy."Ivankov reassured.
"He might kill me while I'm with him.Don't you think -"Diego was silenced before he could finish his sentence when the hilt of Frost's katana came crashing down on his head.Diego was instantly knocked out and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"The kid got his Hell Breaker just a few days ago and he's still learning how to use it.Go easy on him while you're at it will ya?"Ivankov requested and Frost nodded in response.
Diego woke up hours later with a searing head ache.He groaned and looked around before realizing he was lying in an abandoned football stadium.The structure looked old and he guessed no one had been here in a long time.
"Finally awake are you."Frost voice echoed from one of the stands.
"Where are we?"Diego groaned while holding his head in pain.Frost didn't answer but instead,he stood up and slowly unsheathed his katana.Diego noticed and a cautious look grew on his face.
"First,I'm going to test your speed and reflexes."Frost announced and without warning,"SLASH!"Frost swung his katana in Diego's direct and the force of the swing blew winds at intense speeds towards Diego.The wind suddenly took the form of a sickle and Diego instinctively jumped out of the way.The sickle wind continued and slashed everything it make contact with in half.It was utterly destructive and Diego knew if it had hit him,he would be dead by now.
"Good.Now try this"Frost said calmly and swung his katana multiple times.Countless sickles were created and they soared towards Diego with speed hard to even perceive.In a moment of pure instinct, Diego's Hell Breaker activated and it gave him the extra edge he needed to dodge the slashes.
"Are you trying to kill me you psycho?!"Diego yelled at Frost who still looked nonchalant and unbothered.
"So that's your Hell Breaker.Tell me Diego...what's your 'trait' ?"Frost asked and sheathed his katana.
"A trait?You're not making sense "Diego panted.
"Your trait.Both Angels and Demons have one.It's a special gift unique to us."Frost explained.The then continued"My trait named "Fortune Teller " and It gives me the power to see into the future."Diego tilted his head to the side and stared at Frost skeptically.
"And how do you expect me to believe that?"Diego asked and instantly regretted as Frost zoomed and swung a potent punch at him.'CRASH!' Diego was blown back by the strength of the punch and he crashed through multiple rows of stands in the stadium.
"You should know I don't make jokes by this time Diego..."Frost muttered and looked down at his fist.It was already soaked with blood and he cursed under his breath."Damnit...i might have just killed the bastard..."He said to himself with regret.He looked back at where Diego had landed in the stands.Dust and debris obstructed his view but then he noticed small movement in it.There was silence until Diego suddenly burst out of the rubble.
"Is that all you've got psycho?"Diego roared at Frost who on the other hand was utterly shocked for a split second but then he disciplined his expression.His mind was trying to find out how Diego had survived.He looked weakened and he was clearly bleeding but he didn't seem affected by the pain.Was that his trait? Could Diego negate the effects of the pain?No...the couldn't be the cases.The pain showed in Diego's face but he was ignoring it with sheer willpower.Frost shook his head and cleared his mind for a moment.
"Seems that served as a good wake up call I presume."Frost grinned.
"That punch was even harder than Ivankovs but it's still just a Punch!It's gonna take a whole lot more than that to take me out!"Diego threatened and soon, Diego attacked.
It wasn't a pleasant fight but instead,it was more of a severe beatdown with Diego failing to land any hits on Frost.After hour's of non stop hits and punches, Diego's Hell Breaker deactivate and he fell to one knee.
"Finally giving up are you"Frost taunted but Diego grunted in pain but surprisingly,He forced his Hell Breaker form back.Frost grinned in response and lowered his fists.
"I finally figured out what your trait is"Frost said.Diego looked puzzled and he deactivated his Hell Breaker once again.
"You really put me through all this...just to find out what my trait is?!"Diego growled and panted in pure exhaustion.Frost ignored the outburst though.
"When you fight...you don't stop.It's like your body doesn't know when to give up.You can still keep fighting for more hours if you have to and the fatigue is dulled.Your trait is unlimited stamina or something along those lines."Frost analysed."All that's left is for you to name the trait."Frost concluded.
"That checks out..."Diego panted."Something like 'Relentless Fury'...Not bad is it..."Diego managed to say but less than a second later,he passed out from pure exhaustion.
"You've got potential to become someone powerful...I wouldn't expect anything less from the 'Grandson Of The Devil '..." Frost praised...
