Hell's Academy

Chapter 3: The Spawn

Howard's teacher had more in common than with a mountain than a traditional human being.

Her beautiful curves stretched multiple feet from her shoulders to the bottom of her body. Her eyes were tinted grey with black pupils sharp enough to see into the distant expanse. She had on a yellow sunflower dress that stopped right at her thighs with sexy fishnet white stockings, and ivory skin that shimmered like the moonlight as they walked further into the strange expanse.

"Howard, I have a mission for you. I'm sure you think you're strong, right?"

"Why are you so tall?" Howard asked, causing Monica to face palm and push Howard gently on the arm. "I'm not even up to your waist!" Howard poked her skin, causing her mouth to twitch to Monica's surprise.

Normally, the teacher would explode and slap a student into the distance if her height got brought up. However, with Howard, she merely acted gentle and kind and brushed it off.

The teacher didn't answer any of Howards' questions and stopped in front of a large obelisk on top of the mountain. On the way, Howard noticed a few more convenience stores that looked they'd been dropped from the skies. A few overturned trucks littered the darkened fields of long grass like shells in an ocean. Entering into the obelisk, the teacher crossed her arms in front of her large chest, and motioned towards the entranceway.

"Monica, take Howard into the obelisk for me. Take him up to the 10th floor, and see how he does."

"Yes teacher, come idiot," Monica grabbed Howards hand and pulled him towards the entrance. "Don't say anything else to teacher! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"What? She really is tall. She's so tall, It take a few minutes to climb up her! I think it makes her really pretty." Howard smiled and turned back towards the teacher.

"Teacher, let's sleep together tonight! I can't wait!"

Monica looked up at her teacher and gulped before she ran into the obelisk while tugging on Howard. Seeing him smiling and laughing at her, she pushed him hard against the wall.

"Idiot! She's strong enough to lift a mountain! Stop pissing her off."

"I need someone to sleep with tonight. Promise me you'll sleep with me, and I'll be nice to her!"

"Fine, I'll stay in your room," Monica wiped the sweat off her head and clicked on an up arrow that caused a silver elevator shaft to quickly open up. "However, you better do well on your mission! The 10th floor of the obelisk is really hard!"

"As long as I get to sleep with you tonight," Howard smiled and got in the elevator before it shot up into the air. The speed of the elevator caused the space to seem to reverberate and Howards' stomach to turn. He nearly wretched when they arrived at the tenth floor, holding his stomach as a doorway opened up to a large white room full of dozens of strange floating towers.

Monsters began to rain down from the towers as they moved in Howards direction like strange beasts,.

In a few seconds, all twenty of the towers had arrived a few meters from the elevator. Monica walked over to a bench by the elevator and sat down before pulling out a grape juice in her pocket.

"Kill them quickly. Teacher will be mad if you don't get an A."

"Where are we? What are those monsters?" Howard crossed his arms, and took out the two small silver swords from the back of his torn blue jeans. He didn't feel scared, but felt a tiny bit of apprehension towards the waves of monsters dropping from the towers. They seemed to be coming in endless waves from the towers that circled around him like strange sentient beings. "I don't understand how I get a grade for defeating monsters."

"Those are called the Spawn. Teacher carved them from stone."

"You mean they are sculptures? How are they moving?" Howard noticed a few with four arms while others had wings on their backs that allowed them to fly like birds into the white horizon. "And how do I get an A?"

"Just kill all the monsters. Listen, I already promised to sleep in your room tonight!" Monica closed her eyes and tossed a can onto the ground in front of Howard. "Damn it! Once you cross that line, the Spawn will try and kill you. If you don't die in 10 minutes, you get an A!"

"What if I kill all of them?"

"Then teacher will give you a reward. Anything you want!" Monica stood up and grabbed Howard's hand before walking him up to a strange line that extended outwards into the infinite white space. She sighed and huffed one more time before pushing him gently forward.

"Listen, you have horns and I do too, which means we're meant to suffer. Why don't you do me a favor and get a perfect score, so I can have one day of peace!"

"You're pretty when you're angry," Howard poked her face one more time before he got shoved across the line. He fell and laughed and smiled before he noticed hundreds of thousands of footsteps started to drum against the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Behind him, waves of the Spawn rushed towards him. Their bodies seemed to change shape into various weapons. A few had arms that turned into swords while others hands turned into cannons that fired off bullets at little Howard.

Swoosh!

Howard rushed forward and smiled with the sword in his hand, dodging a few bullets before slashing through a spawns head. A flame surrounded his body while the horns on his head seemed to twitch with excitement. Fangs began to grow on the side of his mouth before he pushed off the floor and turned into an arrow that knocked dozens of Spawn flying into the air.

'Should I tell him?" Monica thought while watching Howard decimate the Spawn with ease. Every few seconds, a large ball of fire shot out of his hands and sent hundreds of the strange white creatures disappearing into dust. However, a second later, the Spawn he killed seemed to get larger, growing in size like trees flourishing overnight. 'He's going to lose if he keeps wasting energy."

Howard stepped off his back foot and smiled before he upper cut a spawn, sending white rocks shooting into the air like shrapnel. Turning around, he stepped off his back foot, feeling a burst of happiness as he turned his foot and kicked another Spawn at hundreds of its brethren.

As he did, the towers began to shimmer brighter and brighter causing more Spawn to fall down from above.

At this time, Howard began to emit little fire droplets from his pores, causing them to float around his body like little bullets.

Holding out his hands, thousands of little fire pellets ripped through the Spawn and caused them to convulse and disappear into dust.

Walking towards Monica, Howard smiled at her while happily hopping in her direction. "Hey Monica, did I win yet?"

"No, you made things worse," Monica pointed at a strange amorphous tower forming in the distance. "You have no idea what you just did, do you?"
