The Cursed Blade

A Shaky Encounter

Without much of a goal, I continued my trip through the plaza.

Really, the amount of shops stationed at this school was insane. It could probably be compared to major shopping centres back before the Demonic Seal broke.

Looking around, one would always have something to buy. Without proper care, you could likely waste all your points without a real gain.

As such, I cannot be blamed for the comically sized lollipop held in my left hand. Temptation is something that no one can get rid of, neither man nor god.

"Aye wait! Aren't you part of my class?" Someone yelled out

So even now, classes are already beginning to recognize each other.

"I'm talking to you bud"

"Hm?" I turned to look at who was talking

"God damn, took you a while. You up in the clouds or something?" Mantis boy spoke

"Were you talking to me?" I asked

"No, im talking to our other classmate over there" he pointed at a girl with straight black hair, and ruby red eyes

"Oh, ok"

"No you dumbass, she's not even from our class. Of course I'm talking to you!" He spat

She wasn't part of our class? To be fair, I don't actually remember any of our classmates.

"Alright well, you don't seem like much of a talker"

.....

"Sorry"

"Wow, you actually made me feel bad. Congratulations"

.....

"Thanks?"

"Holy shit, do you take everything literally?""

....

...

"No?"

"Alright that's enough of this pointless conversation. I'll get to the real reason I contacted you"

Contacted? Wasn't it complete chance you ran into me?

"I need your opinion on something"

"Mine?"

"Well, I plan to get the opinion of the entire class, or at least the majority of them"

Well, that makes more sense

"Simply put, who do you think has the highest chance at becoming the leader?"

.....

"Koenji"

"You hesitated a bit"

"It's a tough decision to come to. All three parties involved are highly rated Slayer Recruits"

"But you came to a conclusion right?"

"Indeed"

.....

.....

"Stop licking the damn lollipop and explain your choice!"

Why am I being interrupted like this?

"Sakayanagi and Ryuuen are strong, very strong. But only when compared to students. Koenji on the other hand, has likely already trained against fully fledged hunters, as a disciple of the Wind Pillar"

"I see, so you based your choice on the experience one has gained. But simply training against other Demon Slayers doesn't make you a good Demon Slayer."
