Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 24 - Duo Battles

It had been a gleeful morning, as the students of Class 1-A had been doing their usual, if, of course, you don't count that there was a pretty big twist for today.

"Well, class, listen up. We'll be having a physical test. I'll explain everything tomorrow. The test will begin tomorrow. For today, you can just do as you please right now, I don't care," Giyu explained as left the room and the class began letting loose a little.

"Tell you what, I think I'm gonna arrange a sale for MizuTech... maybe 20% off this time." he mumbled to himself as he began dialing his company. "Hello, dear customer. How may- OH! I'm so sorry, Isekai, sir. What business do you have?" a woman asked. Isekai yawned, replying, "20% sale, arranged for tomorrow." "Right away." she said as Isekai hung up. By the time he closed his phone, Kyogai walked in, and began teaching the usual music lessons. When it hit lunchtime, the entire class gathered up in a group to eat.

"I wonder how the physical test is gonna go..." Isekai wondered, eating his bowl of ice cream. "Well, I'm sure you're gonna do just fine, what with your extremely powerful magic..." Tanjiro replied, muttering that last part to himself. "Hey, Isekai, can you teach me your magic?" Zenitsu requested, chowing down on his dango sticks. "...why in hell would you want to learn my Breathing Magic?" Isekai questioned, taking a sip of his lemonade. "Duh, I wanna beat Kanao next time I fight her! She made my best attack, Lightning Eruption, look like an absolute JOKE at the Athletics Tournament!" Zenitsu explained, visibly angry about it. Kanao giggled, still hopped up about it. "Well, I COULD teach you my Breathing Magic, but it's going to kill you if you end up using it. Literally," Isekai answered, visibly in shame that he couldn't teach it.

"Lies. You just don't want me to be powerful, because you know if I combine it with my Thunder Magic I'll end up better than you," Zenitsu replied, trying to call his non-existent bluff. "Then check out what happened to this kid when I taught her the Order and Chaos magic," he suggested as he opened his phone and played a video.

Isekai, at the age of five, was training his best friend to use the Order and Chaos magic. "Alright? You got it, Chihiro?" young Isekai asked, ready for her to try it out. "Alright! Order Magic: Light Wa-" she cried out as she generated a wall made of light for a split second before her torso, arms and head exploded. "OH MY GOD!" Mrs. Tako yelled out as the recording ended.

"SO WAIT, IF WE TRY TO USE YOUR MAGIC, OUR BODIES EXPLODE?!" Zenitsu questioned, horrified at the result of Chihiro's usage of Isekai's power. "Pretty much... Unless you don't have the knowledge, then you're fine."

"What happened next?" Tanjiro asked. "They cleaned up the scene of Chihiro's remnants, and they cremated her," he replied, finishing the strawberry part of his ice cream. "Cremation? What's that?" Inosuke jokingly asked, throwing his serious tone into it, masking the joke. "Sometimes I wonder how you even got 3rd place in the midterms, Inosuke," Isekai replied, drinking more lemonade. Inosuke wasn't happy, and he replied, "I was kidding, idiot! It's one of those funeral things where they burn the body and do what the family desires to do with the ashes."

At that moment, everyone finished eating and the bell rang. They went to English class and went on with the rest of their day. It already hit tomorrow, which was the day of the physical examinations.

Kimetsu Academy, 9:00 AM

"Let's begin our test. We're going to be headed to a testing area for this," Giyu announced, signaling the students to follow him to a bus.
