[color=2E8B57][i]The School that resides deep in the supposedly Haunted and Cursed forest at the base of a sheer Mountain that is said to be home to the Demon collector of Souls[/i][/color][/center]

[color=2E8B57]The School is known for it's bad reputation as it supposedly "consumes" the souls of those that enlist in the school, however myth has it that these poor souls never make it to the school and are instead picked off by demons that lead them to the forest due to their victims curiosity in learning the "Demon Arts". However this is all but a Myth and some people have emerged from the forest alive and well and with vast knowledge of Demon Arts, some have gone on to become among the most famous and skilled demon hunters in the land. The School however has a shady history and it's Masters have always been shroud in secrecy.

The Schools founder and most experienced practitioner founded the School only a hundred or so years ago and is said to be a demon that had gained some real form of intelligence and used the school in order to lure souls to his lair. However the original demon is said to be long gone and no longer of this world...yet some claim he is very much alive and living amongst the people, plotting something sinister. This however is purely a rumour as the School is known to have had a few Masters take the helm, it's current Master may very well be one it's greatest which has lead to a recent surge of applications.

[color=2E8B57]Takeshi Shinda, A man who is not of this land, A man who has travelled far from a distant land in order to learn more of this world. Takeshi wanted to explore the world, however upon arriving in China and hearing about a school that taught Demon Arts he couldn't help but enlist and witness for himself the power of Demon Arts. Takeshi is considered a prodigy in Demon Arts, his Master, the now previous and deceased Master remarked on how fast Takeshi learned and grew in strength, showing nothing but passion for the Demon Arts and embracing them fully. Not much is known of the fate of the Schools previous Master however rumour amongst the school is that it's previous Master challenged Takeshi to a Death Match in order to have Takeshi unwillingly take over the school due to Takeshi's wishes to leave to go and travel the world once again...The schools previous Master saw this as a waste of his time and talents and thus gave his life in a vicious battle in order to have Takeshi stay at the school and become it's next Master...however some simply say that Takeshi went mad with the incredible amount of Demon Arts he had learned and killed his Master in cold blood in order to take his position.

Now that Takeshi is the Master of this school and has been for the past 5 years it has seen a great increase in applications which Takeshi personally hates since he'd much rather laze around...since becoming the Schools Master, Takeshi has seemingly become much more lazy as a result of him being unable to travel the world. The School now has a deadly reputation as people are often reported missing and this would be true...they simply could not handle Takeshi's strict training and thus would either succumb to death or attempt to leave the school...this is forbidden and those that do attempt to run away are hunted down and killed in cold blood before they can even escape the forest. Whilst Takeshi is lazy he is also extremely serious about protecting the School and it's teachings and he will not tolerate those who are unable to hack it.

Takeshi only allows those that have sworn their souls to him and the School to ever graduate and go on to greater ventures. Out of the hundreds of applicants over the years only 3 have graduated and over 92% have gone missing...and yet...despite this the School still receives applications from people who believe they have the strength and will to learn the Demon Arts. This may be down to the word of how Takeshi is the schools most successful master, having learned over 200 Demon Art techniques...Apparently Takeshi is responsible for creating over 100 of these techniques and is apparently in possession of a skill that could wipe out a good portion of the land...They're not called Demon Arts for nothing.

[center][h2][color=2E8B57] [i]Sample of Demon Arts Techniques[/i] [/color][/h2][/center]

[color=2E8B57]
Demon Art #87 ~ A Technique that allows the practitioner to fire an extremely powerful wave of artificial ice that will all but engulf and freeze everything before it. This Technique is known to be one of the strongest Ice type Demon Arts and can have very negative effects on it's user should it be used incorrectly or without proper training. Many Students have lost their arms to this technique...although artificially created Ice it still has deadly effects.

Demon Art #45 ~ This Technique allows the practitioner to fire artificial lightning from their palm in a large beam that is said to leave it's victim with severe burns and shock. 

Demon Art #71 ~ This Technique allows the practitioner to create a small projectile of condensed spirit energy above their middle finger which is held back by their thumb in a way that appears as if the user is going to flick the projectile. Upon "firing" this projectile it flies at immense speed and creates a large and powerful explosion upon contact, the shockwave alone can break bones and send a person flying far.

Demon Art #66 ~ This Technique allows the practitioner to manipulate their spirit energy and use it to form a make shift weapon that has great cutting power, these weapons can vary from a simple sword to a Scythe.

Demon Art #4 ~ This Technique is simple and allows the practitioner to simply push objects with an invisible force, however as it's user becomes stronger and masters more control this skill can actually be quite devastating. It has been seen being used in such a way that it actually blew a hole through someones body and sent them flying.

Demon Art #68 ~ This Technique allows the practitioner to create a long and thick chain of spirit energy that can wrap around it's victim and bind them in place making it difficult for the victim to escape or even move, Physical strength alone will not guarantee you freedom however those with exceptional strength have been known to break this technique through sheer strength.

These are only 6 of the 200+ Demon Arts that exist. All Demon Arts call upon the use of Spirit energy.[/color]
